"Hey Chiro! Wake up! You overslept!" Otto yelled in Chiro's ear.
The teen bolted upright, startled.
"Antauri sent me to get you cuz training starts in ten minutes." The green monkey chattered.
"Ten minutes! I don't even have time to eat breakfast!" Chiro yelped.
"See you in training!" Otto skipped out of the room, oblivious to Chiro's panic.
It was Chiro's first day back in training since he was kidnapped by Jose's cronies. The Monkey Team had been sure to give him plenty of time to recover and the little outing to his family's memorial hadn't done him much good health-wise (although it had done him a lot of good mentally).
Chiro tripped several times on the way to the training room. The monkeys looked up when he came in.
"You're late." Nova pointed out.
"Sorry. I overslept." Chiro said sheepishly.
"It's your turn, Chiro. We'll start you off on level two since you're out of practice." Antauri told him.
Chiro nodded and started towards out of the control room when Gibson said that they had an incoming message.
Everyone hurried to the Command Center and Gibson turned on the communication device.
A young girl with blonde hair and green eyes flickered onto the screen.
"Hyper Force, I don't have much time. If I'm caught in here, I'll be in a lot of trouble. Please, my friends and I need your help. We've been taken from our families and forced to work." The girl glanced behind her. "I'll explain more when you get here. I'm on the planet Hexagon. Please, please, help us." The girl disappeared.
Chiro turned to the monkeys. "It's a distress call. I think we should help."
"I agree. That girl seems desperate." Antauri said.
"Ok then. Gibson, set our course for planet Hexagon." Chiro ordered. "Let's save that girl."
