Disclaimer: I do not own Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! Nor do I own the movie Brothers Grimm where I got the idea for this story.
Much thanks goes to dragonqueenc who beteread this. Now…on with the show! Er…story.
An ear piercing scream filled the modest city of Queen's Tower. The citizens heads all snapped towards the source. A young red haired girl, her deep brown eyes were wide with horror, stumbled towards a large dense forest at the edge of the city. It seemed to the people's eyes that the stumbling was being caused by something pulling on her arms.
Right away all the woman and children disappeared into their houses for protection and the men of the city ran towards the aid of the young girl. A large burly man ran ahead of the others crying out in fear.
"Tessa! Tessa fight it!" He screamed. The girl, Tessa, looked back at him,
tears streaming down her shocked face as she got closer and closer to the forest. "Daddy! Daddy help me!" She screamed. Her eyes turned back to the forest in front of her, the shadows of the forest seemed even darker then the average shadow. And in these shadows, as she drew closer, her abductor became visible; two large cracked and chipped claws held her wrists in a tight vise like grip connected to a ragged and thin body clothed in a long brown tunic. The head was what caused the young girl to scream in horror before fainting; the head was of a shrunken human face, bones showing almost completely, the eyes were deep into it's sockets and bloodshot, but with no pupil or colored iris, just milky blue with lines of blood red all around the edges.
As Tessa fainted the creature pulled her into the forest, her fathers hand's a mere hair's width away from her. Tessa and the creature disappeared into the black shadows and her father fell to his knees in despair, but he didn't dare enter the forest. Not now, Tessa was gone. His neighbors surrounded him to comfort him. Some whispered quietly about the abduction.
"She's the eleventh now."
"Poor girl, why would the forest take her?"
"It's the curse of the forest."
No one noticed the small figure a few feet away, the one girl to stay outside during the attack. Her green eyes overflowed with tears as she let her head fall forward, her red hair covering her face.
"Someone help us!"
"And they all lived happily ever after!" Otto read as he closed the book with a snap.
Gibson groaned loudly. "Otto no one is listening to your story so please be quiet!"
Otto had been reading fairy tales for the past week since the Hyper Force had left Shuggazoom to look for signs of trouble, and everyone but Gibson had learned to tune Otto out, although it took Sprx awhile before he had managed it.
"Leave him alone Gibson! At least it keeps him busy." Nova said as she concentrated on the game she was playing. Nova and Chiro had recently teamed up on flight games to beat Sprx, and the red monkey was not happy.
"Can you two quit cheating?" Sprx screeched as his ship was suddenly shot at from two opposite directions.
"How is this cheating? All we're doing is testing your abilities as a pilot!" Chiro grinned as Sprx's ship was destroyed.
"Yeah and apparently they aren't all that great!" Nova quipped as the screen flashed, 'Player 1, Obliterated."
Sprx gaped, open mouthed, at the screen and sputtered angrily, "How…you…destroyed…my ship!" Otto snickered loudly, as Gibson rolled his eyes. Nova and Chiro began laughing.
When the laughter subsided Chiro looked around the room. "Anybody seen
Antauri?" he asked curiously.
"Probably meditating or doing something else just as boring." Sprx said, while looking at his controller sulkily.
"Actually I was reading; if that counts as something boring as well." Antauri said as he entered the room quietly.
"Oh! Was it a book of stories like mine?" Otto asked excitedly.
"Some how I doubt that." Gibson said without looking up from the chemicals he'd been working on.
Antauri was about to reply when suddenly a loud beeping sound blared over the
intercom. Right away the team crowded around the control panel as Gibson typed a few commands to let an incoming transmission through. Right away a young red haired girl appeared on the screen. Her dark green eyes matching the silk green dress she wore.
"How does this thing work again? Oh there's a light flashing there! Okay." The girl cleared her throat, a little embarrassed, and began speaking. "My name is Allegra Rose. I live in the city of Queen's Tower, this transmission has the coordinates. Many of the girls from our city have been disappearing. At first that's all it was, disappearances. But lately what ever has been taking them has been coming farther into our city and even letting itself be seen as it abducts it's victims. We know that the girls were taken into the forest but…" Allegra looked at her feet. "No one is allowed into the forest since the attacks started. Our city leaders are so stubborn about not asking for help, but the woman of the forest, and the girls all know our options are limited and time is running out. Please come soon and help us. The rest will soon disappear and after that, our city itself may Be next." The transmission shut off but the coordinates, as Allegra had said, were there. Everyone looked at each other silently for a moment.
"A call from a random citizen, but not the cities leaders?" Gibson wondered aloud.
"The people must be terrified" Nova whispered to herself sadly.
"Why only the girls?" Sprx wondered, looking at the rest of the team.
"Only one way to find out," Chiro said staring at the main screen where the transmission had been. "We have to go to Queens Tower."
Thanks for reading chapter one, depending on how well this chapter is liked depends on how chapter two turns out! So review please. And if there are any problems please tell me and I'll fix them!
