Chapter One

Another Day on Shuggazoom

A typical day on Shuggazoom, the HyperForce didn't have anything to do without their exciting new allies and family around. They were still on Earth, enjoy their time of getting back to their old roots. New secerts were riviled last month as the MegaForce took the HyperForce on a long trip around Earth, their cultures and older lives. Chiro and Carbon's birthdays were coming up and they were not going to spend it together, since they were on different sides of the cosmos...or at least...that's what everyone thought.

'RING! RING! RING!' The computer visal phone was ringing awful loudly, waking the whole team up at three in the morning.

Chiro ran over, answer the call.

"Hello? Who's there?" Chiro asked the blank screen.

No one was on the screen, but there was some sobbing on the side.

"Who is that? Hello?" Nova asked.

"He-Help me...I-I can't move."

"That sounds like...Melodie." Chiro said, looking at Antauri.

Antauri walked over to the microphone.

"Melodie? Can you hear me?" He asked.

"Help me...I can't move. It's so cold here. The others...Help."

"Gibson, trace that call...NOW! We have to find them, and fast." Chiro demanded.

Gibson traced the call, pinpointing the MegaForce's location.

"*gasp* No. This is impossible. We would've picked it up."

"Where are they Gibson?" Otto asked.

"Just outside the atmosphere."

"Monkey Team...Moblize!" Chiro demanded.

After everyone was in position, they flew the Robot up to the MegaRobot.

"Gibson, scan the MegaRobot for life. Count how many, and look closely at the body heat. I wanna make sure that who ever, or whatever is attacking them, isn't still there."

"Right Chiro." Gibson scanned the MegaRobot. "Chiro, I scan only the MegaForce, faint life. I scan faint life especially one, I believe is...Melodie. We must get aboard that Robot and get them all into the sickbay."

After a few minutes, they all boarded the MegaRobot, wearing space gear. They went up to the command room, hoping to find the others still alive. The scene they hoped for was not there, but much worse.

"It's like a horror movie was unreleased in here." Sprx said.

"Gibson, where are the others?" Chiro asked.

"Up on the bed room level, training room, and one in the sick bay." Gibson answered.

"Who's in there?" Nova asked.

"Gizmo..." Gibson sighed looking at Otto.

Otto ran into the sickbay, finding Gizmo half off the seat, covered in blood.

"Gizmo? Gizmo, are you okay?" Otto asked, sitting her up on the seat.

"Uh...oh...Otto?"

"It's gonna be okay. We're gonna get the rest of the team and get you fixed up."

"Mom-Training room-Hurry." Gizmo said before passing out.

Otto turned around, where the others were watching.

"Otto, get her to the sick bay in the Super Robot, hurry. We will get the others and meet you there." Chiro demended.

Otto nodded and picked up Gizmo as carefully as possible.

"I'll you back at the Robot. Good luck guys." Otto said before taking the tubes out.

"Nova, Sprx, Gibson: take the bedroom level. Antauri and I will take the training room. Find a member of the MegaForce, meet up at the SuperRobot sickbay." Chiro demended.

Everyone nodded and separated to the two different levels.

Bedroom Level...

Nova, Sprx, and Gibson came upon the bedroom level. It wasn't any better than command room. Trashed with items of the different rooms, trails of blood on the ground.

"Elella? You here?" Sprx asked the hall.

There was no answer.

"Okay you two, split up and search." Nova demended.

The boys nodded and separated into the rooms. Only finding more trash and blood. Gibson, going into Seala's room, found chemicals split everywhere, glass broken, and papers scattered everywhere. Along with wires broken off the ceiling and walls.

"Seala? Are you here?" Gibson asked the room. There was a light groan after a moment. "Seala? Where are you?"

"Up here." A weak voice called.

Gibson looked up, seeing Seala cut up and tangled in wires. Gibson flew up to Seala, starting to untangle them.

"What happened here?" Gibson asked.

"I don't know. We were...jumped. We were...on our way back from Earth when we were ambushed."

"You'll be just fine now. Otto has Gizmo back in the sickbay."

"Gizmo? What about Melodie?"

"Antauri and Chiro are on their way to the training room to find them as we speak."

After a moment, Gibson got Seala untangled and on the ground.

"Thank you. Oh, my whole body hurts."

"You've been beat up harshly. I've never seen anything like this before. Unless Mandarin and Mandra have become more violent, I doubt we know the one who did this."

"Ones, there were two. *coughs violently* It wasn't them either. I'm not sure who did it, but the figures were taller...they knew our every move."

"Don't talk. You're weak and need rest."

"Gibson! We got Elella and Blaze. Come on." Nova said from the door way.

The three got the members found to the sick bay, reunited with Gizmo.

Training Room...

Antauri and Chiro came to the training room, only to find it dark and cold.

"I think when Melodie said cold, it wasn't she was dying." Chiro said.

Antauri didn't answer, he tried fixing the wiring for the lights. After a second, Antauri had fixed the lights, showing Carbon and Melodie across the room from each other. Each bleeding badly. Chiro and Antauri ran to their sides to tend to them.

"Are they still alive?" Chiro asked.

"I think we are." Carbon groaned.

"Melodie? Are you awake?" Antauri asked.

There was no answer. Carbon tried to move but groaned at the pain in her side.

"Don't move. You're badly hurt." Chiro said.

"I'll be fine. What about the others?" Carbon grunted through her teeth.

"Gibson, Nova and Sprx are finding the others one the bedroom level now. Otto got Gizmo to the sick bay on our Robot."

"Is he still here?" Carbon asked.

"Who?" Chiro asked.

"He called himself...S-S-S-" Carbon passed out.

"Carbon? Antauri, is Melodie alive?"

"Yes. Barely, but she'll live...hopfully."

"Let's get them back to the Robot."

Back at the Super Robot sickbay, everyone had made it back with the MegaForce badly hurt, but alive.

"What happened to them? Who did this?" Sprx asked.

"Some one with one starting with a S. Carbon told me."

"A S? Skeleton Queen?" Nova questioned.

"No...it was a him Carbon said. But...Skeleton King's gone. So, who is it?" Chiro thought aloud.

Gibson walked out of the sickbay, wiping his hands on a rag.

"Gibson, status on the MegaForce." Antauri asked.

"They should be fine. A good night's rest and they'll be just fine." Gibson answered.

Everyone was relived of the fact that the MegaForce would be alright by the next day.

"I suggest we all get a good sleep as well and check in tomorrow." Antauri said walking to the tubes.

The others followed, going to their rooms.

Next Morning...

It was ten o'clock in the morning when Antauri woke up, meeting the others in the kitchen. Antauri walked over to the table, sitting down.

"Antauri, you're the last one up. You're never the last one up." Nova stated placing his tea on the table.

"I'm okay Nova. I did not sleep very well last night after finding the MegaForce."

"Too much blood?" Chiro questioned.

"No...I'm not sure what it was. I just could not sleep afterward."

"Drink your tea then go back to bed. Try to rest today." Chiro said.

"No...I'll be fine today Chiro."

"It wasn't a request, it was an order Antauri."

Antauri smiled and then finished his tea, walking up to his room.

"I hope Antauri will be alright. We don't seven-Oh no."

"What's the matter Nova?" Sprx asked.

"Jin...he wasn't in the MegaRobot." Nova said.

"Don't worry about me. I'm just fine."

"Jin...where were you?" Chiro asked.

"I was on another trip by myself when I tried to call Carbon and no one answered. I flew back here to find them, when I found their Robot trashed, I figured you would know."

"So you came here to find us." Chiro finished.

"Yeah. It's good to see you all again." Jin said.

"You too. Carbon and the rest of them will be just fine." Chiro said.

"Oh thank goodness. Do you know who did this?"

"No. And we won't until Carbon and the others wake up."

Jin's smile frowned as he looked away.

"What's the matter Jin?" Sprx asked.

"I knew I should've left for this trip! I told Carbon it could wait, but she insisted I left! I should've fought against her more, I should've brought her here myself!"

"Jin, it's not your fault. Don't worry about it. The important thing is, is that she'll be fine. And live. And, like Antauri says, be stronger for it."

"I hope so. Carbon's been-she's sort of off lately."

"What are you talking about?"

"After you guys left Earth, Carbon started having nightmares and crying for no reason. She's been scared of nothing. Seala and Gizmo have been making sure she looks and acts just fine in front of Elella and Melodie so they don't worry."

"Hmmm...separation anxity?" Gibson suggested.

"From who? Her brothers? No way."

"Why not?"

"Carbon started being off since we were in Sweden. Remember what happened on the skiing hill?"

"How could I forget?" Chiro asked.

"Ever since she told us what happened that night...Carbon's been afraid."

"What do you mean...us?" Nova questioned.

"Only Elella and Carbon knew. I didn't even know that about Carbon when I met her. The only thing about her past she's told me is the adopation ship. Everything else, she says I'd rather not talk about it or I can't remember anything or it's Not now Jin."

"Not now Jin? What?"

"Only once. Bad timing. She was still trying to control her team in training lessons. It gets pretty wild with them."

"O...kay. Is there anything else you can tell us about what might've happened?"

"You think I did this?"

"No...of course not. Why? Did you?"

"No way! I am a true partner of the MegaForce! I never take off my pin for proof." Jin snapped showing his pin.

"Okay, okay. Calm down. You're not a suspect."

"Sorry. I'm just mad I guess. I would never do this to Carbon or any of them. And not you either. I couldn't hurt them anyways. My powers have been down for a month now."

"What happened to them?" Otto asked.

"Gizmo actived them for safety purposes against Carbon. The only thing I can do right now is fly."
