I do not own Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!

Chapter One

"This is crazy!" Chiro exclaimed, grunting with exertion as he heaved a large, purple monster above his head and hurtled it into the side of a building. Bricks and plaster collapsed on top of the alien; it wouldn't be making a reappearance anytime soon. "I asked for two hours, monster-free. Two hours. I wasn't with Jinmay even two minutes when the alarms went off!" He turned to Otto, who was engaged in battle with another alien. "Chiro spearo!" A long, sleek lightning-bolt appeared in his hand, humming with energy. Chiro brought back his right arm, swiftly throwing the bolt to where it embedded in the purple monster's side. The alien burst in an explosion of purple goop, causing the raven-haired teen to cringe, spluttering as he wiped the goo off of his face. "Eeh-urg…"

"We can't control when monsters attack, only when we choose to deal with them," Antauri said, always the wise one, as he plunged his ghost-claw into a monster's chest and pulled put its heart.

"But don't monsters ever, I dunno, take a vacation…" Chiro whined as he watched Nova pound the last of the monsters into oblivion. "I mean, we already have enough work with all of the crazy psychopaths running around, do we really have to add monsters to our long list of "things to protect Shuggazoom from"?

"I don't know, it's kind of relaxing," Sparx said, wiping his hands on his knees. "When you're mad-bam, instant punching-bag!"

"That's the last of them," Gibson said, glancing around. "Now we can return to the Super Robot and-" A loud, high-pitched beeping noise cut him off. He brought a small, rectangular device to his eyes, scanning the screen intently as the rest of the Hyper Force gather around him, watching. "Hel-lo, this is saying there's a small-sized human-child located in one of these buildings."

"But I thought this sector of Shuggazoom City supposed to be evacuated?" Nova asked as the simians glanced around curiously. Chiro, however, watched Gibson, his expression and demeanor hardening at the prospect of a possible injured person.

"Gibson, which building is the scanner showing someone's in?"

Gibson looked up at him, a bit worriedly. "That one," he said, pointing it out, "but it's unstable, it could collapse on you-!"

Chiro was already gone.

"C'mon, let's go help the kid," Sparx sighed, watching the lanky boy disappear into the doorway of said building. "I don't reckon it'd be very good if he got squashed under those bricks."

The inside of the building was cold and dark, seeing as there was no electricity for heat and lighting. Chiro bumped around the first floor in darkness for about three minutes before he found stairs leading up to a second floor. The stairwell seemed to be degrading, so Chiro carefully tested each step with the tip of his boot before applying his weight to it, slowly climbing to the top, ears strained to catch any abnormal noise.

The buildings in this part of Shuggazoom had been evacuated and abandoned almost two years before, when aliens had overrun it. The buildings had fallen into a great state of disrepair with the combinations of neglect and bashings by monsters, and they were constantly collapsing. This, coupled with the fact no one, besides the Hyper Force and monsters, of course, had been in this sector for years made it hard for the teen to believe anyone would dare step foot inside this building.

"Uh, hello?" Chiro called as he reached the second floor. "Anyone here?" He peeked into the nearest doorway, seeing nothing but peeling paint and a few ripped pieces of furniture. "Hello…"

Then he heard it. Soft crying emanating from one of the bedrooms.

Chiro dashed for the room, freezing in the doorway. Much to his surprise, a little girl in a light yellow dress sat, doubled over, in the middle of the room on a dust rug, her back to the boy and sobs rattling her frame.

"Uh, hello?" Chiro asked, stepped into the room. "Little girl? Are you okay?" He stepped a little closer to her, hesitantly reaching out a gloved hand. "Are you hurt-?"

Chiro yelped and stumbled backwards as the little girl let out a piercing scream, covering her ears with her little hands. The Hyper Force leader caught himself against the wall, watching with wide eyes as the girl craned her neck to where her watery brown eyes had them in her focus. She whispered something unintelligible, and Chiro's brow furrowed.

"What?" he moved a little closer, unsure how, or if it were even possible, to comfort this little girl.

"He's coming for you," she murmured. "And he said that the monkeys get turned into scrap metal if you resist."

Wide-eyed, Chiro turned to look at the Hyper Force who stood, jaws hitting the floor, as every eye turned to the teen.

"Well, this isn't good."
