Well, there aren't a whole lot of fans left for this particular fandom, but I am a fan, and so I'm gonna write for these guys. Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go was an amazing cartoon that had a good balance of humor, drama, action and even a pinch of romance just to keep things interesting...shame it never got finished, but I wanna give it a shot. So...here's the first chapter of Season 5...sorta.
_

To say that Chiro was stressing out a little would've been the understatement of the century. To put it simply, the young leader of the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce was completely freaking out. "How on Shuggazoom are we gonna pull this one off?!" Of course no one could tell that by looking at him, on the outside he appeared to be a pillar of strength. He had to, he was the leader after all.

Despite that however, there was one member of the team that could sense Chiro's anxiety. "Chiro, I would like to speak with you privately for a moment."

Chiro turned his head away from the main viewing screen to glance at the silver monkey floating in midair. "If you say so Antauri." Chiro turned to the rest of the team, "Otto, keep working on those anti-undead weapons, we're gonna need all the help we can get until backup arrives. Nova, contact me as soon as we get some responses to our signal."

The yellow monkey gave a thumbs-up to her leader, "You got it Chiro."

With that, Chiro and Antauri left the Bridge of the Super Robot, leaving the rest of the team to continue their work. "Whaddya suppose Antauri wants?" Otto wondered out loud, the green monkey was beginning to grow concerned for Chiro as well.

Gibson, the blue monkey, gave his input. "I would speculate that Antauri wishes to try and evaluate Chiro's mental state, given the circumstances, I have to imagine that the pressure to perform would begin to affect his ability to lead."

"I hope you're wrong Gibson." that voice belonged to Jinmay, who in fact was not a monkey, but rather a very humanlike robot girl, who also happened to love Chiro with all her electronic heart. "We're gonna need Chiro more than ever now, if he's right about this being the biggest war Shuggazoom City's ever had to deal with." What Jinmay was referring to was the incoming hoard of Formless soldiers that seemed to stretch on for miles. Thanks to the now destroyed Skull Witch Valeena, the Hyperforce's archenemy Skeleton King had been risen from the dead, and was now preparing to attack Shuggazoom City with more power than he ever possessed before.

"And it's all my fault." there was one other monkey on the team. The red monkey, SPRX-77, otherwise known as Sprx, had been quiet almost the entire time since they'd managed to get to the Super Robot. He remembered bitterly why they were currently in the position they were in. He had succumbed to the power of the Fire of Hate, one of the key ingredients that had been necessary to resurrect Skeleton King in the first place, and he had turned on his friends and teammates...even Nova. It was no secret to anyone exactly how Sprx felt about the yellow female primate, and if how she had reacted when he regained his senses was any indication, she felt the same if not stronger about him. But thinking about that now, after what he had caused, just made him want to go crawl away and shut down for good.

"Sprx?"

The red monkey turned to see Nova looking at him with concern evident in her big pink eyes. "What's up Nova?"

"Listen, I know you're still bothered by what happened, but you can't let it destroy you!" Nova pleaded.

Sprx pasted a fake smirk onto his face and chuckled, "Heh, what? You think I'm gonna let this take me down? Please, I've handled way tougher stuff than this." Sprx walked over to his transport tube and stepped inside, "I'll be in my quarters if you need me..." he saw that the other monkeys and Jinmay still weren't convinced. "C'mon already! I'm ok, believe me!" he zipped up the transport tube, thankful they couldn't see him anymore.

"I know I'm not the smartest monkey around," Otto said after Sprx left, "But I don't think he's ok."

"He's not." Nova sighed and went back to her communications panel, "But we can't worry about Sprx right now, we've got a job to do..." Nova looked to the main viewing screen; the blips on the radar were growing ever closer, "And not a whole lot of time to do it."

Meanwhile, in Chiro's quarters, Chiro and Antauri were having their private discussion. "I'm worried about you Chiro, you've had no time to recover since before this whole situation began."

"I feel fine Antauri, really!" Chiro began jogging in place to prove his point, "See, ready and rarin' to kick some Formless butt!"

"Yes, clearly your body is not feeling any adverse effects...yet." Chiro stopped when Antauri said that, "But I sense that your mind and spirit are beginning to strain under the pressure."

Chiro sighed and flopped onto his bed, what was the point of trying to hide anything from Antauri anyway? "Fine. You got me." Chiro sat up and held his face in his hands, "I dunno if we're gonna be able to pull this one off Antauri, we've never faced a threat this powerful before, and we're gonna have to hold down the fort until help arrives...if it arrives."

"I understand." Antauri replied solemnly, "Chiro, it's natural for you to be worried, but when that worry begins to affect your rational thinking, that's when it becomes a problem."

"So what do I do then? This situation's not going away, in fact it's getting closer every second!" Chiro's head suddenly shot up and he glared at the silver monkey, "And don't you dare say 'embrace the Power Primate'," he did his best impression of Antauri as he said that, "Because I'm fried from embracing it so much."

Antauri smirked knowingly, "Ahh, so you finally admit to yourself that you're tired. Now we're getting somewhere." Chiro's jaw dropped and then he scowled and turned away from his second-in-command with his arms crossed. "I was actually going to suggest that you take a nap, you'll need your strength for the upcoming battle."

"I'm tired, not sleepy." Chiro grumbled.

"Then why don't you go to the recreation room and do something you enjoy? There are other forms of relaxation, perhaps playing one of your mindless videogames will ease your worries."

Chiro snapped at the monkey, "They're not mindless!" then the Hyperforce leader realized how close he was to a nervous breakdown and took a deep breath, taking a few steps back from cracking up. "Ok Antauri...I'll find something to do...thanks." Antauri nodded and floated out of the room using the silver monkey's fazing powers, much to Chiro's annoyance, "There's nothing wrong with using the door ya know!" Then with a weary sigh, Chiro fell back onto his bed and closed his eyes, "Maybe I should just embrace the Power Primate...it's never let me down before...so maybe it'll come through for me again." he began to meditate, and the telltale green glow of the Power Primate enveloped his body as he used its influence to steady his mind.

Antauri smiled as he poked his head back out of Chiro's room, he knew his faith in Chiro was not misplaced, and sure enough the boy had proved that once more. "The Power Primate is more than just a weapon Chiro, it is also your greatest friend, if you allow it to be." Antauri then hopped back into a transport tube and found himself back on the Bridge, where Nova was still monitoring the communications station. "What's our status Nova?"

"We've gotten responses from the Sun Riders and the Robo Apes...still waiting on the others though." Nova reported, "How's Chiro?"

"Resting. Where are the others?"

"Well...Gibson went to help Otto make something he thought might help us out in a little while, Jinmay went to the training room to practice her combat skills...she said she felt she wasn't as big a help as she should've been during our last couple of battles..."

Antauri nodded solemnly, "And what of Sprx?"

Nova lowered her head, "He says he's fine...I think he's hiding something."

"I'm inclined to agree...do the others feel the same as you do?"

"Pretty much." Nova sighed sadly, "What're we gonna do about him Antauri? He's not gonna be much help in the fight if he can't snap outta this funk he's in!"

"True...although I have a feeling your concern runs deeper than mere battle capabilities."

Nova growled at her superior, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Antauri placed a robotic hand on Nova's shoulder, "You know precisely what I mean...Nova, it is one thing to conceal your emotions in order to avoid them being taken advantage of by our enemies...it is a whole other issue entirely to suppress them in order to deny their existence from ourselves."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nova turned her head and crossed her arms in denial.

"I think you do." Sensing that Nova's resolve was wavering, Antauri relinquished an understanding smile when she finally looked at him again. "Go to him Nova, I believe you are the only one who can convince Sprx that we really do need him, and that he is still an indispensable member of the Monkey Team...he feels alone, so remind him that no Monkey Team member is ever alone."

"But what about communications?"

"I'll take over here, my mind isn't so up in the clouds that I've forgotten how to work a communications console." Antauri smirked.

Nova smirked back, "Thanks Antauri." Nova scampered over to the transport tube and was whisked away into the bowels of the Super Robot seconds later. She finally made her way to Sprx's room, and he could hear him through the metal door growling and cursing at himself. "Sprx? Can I come in?" All she heard was another disgusted bark. "Looks like I'll have to do this the old-fashioned way." Activating her fists, she reeled back to punch down the door, "I'm sure Otto won't mind fixing the door...again." the door easily gave way under the yellow monkey's strength, and to her shock, Sprx still hadn't even noticed she was there. "Sprx!"

"Lousy stinkin' Formless freaks!" Sprx roared with rage as his flight simulator continued to conjure up Formless soldiers for him to blow up in his simulated Fist Rocket, when he finally finished, he threw the helmet off and chucked it against the wall, "Still not good enough!" he slowly turned, and then his eyes locked onto Nova, who had her hands behind her back as she stared at him, "Oh uh...hey there Nova...how long were ya standin' there?"

"Long enough." Nova walked over to the red monkey, who seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable as she got closer, "I-I came to check on you...seemed like you could use a friend right now."

"O-Oh yeah?" Sprx put on his smoothest look, "I dunno about that, maybe you just can't resist my irresistible charm."

Nova shook her head, "Now I know something's bothering you...that wasn't even close to your usual amount of corniness." She took another step, but that got Sprx to quickly turn to grab his flight simulator again, "You know you busted that thing when you smashed it against the wall...Sprx, talk to me!"

"There's nothin' to talk about! I'm fine, just tryin' to get myself pumped up to fight those bone bags!"

Nova's limited supply of patience ran out, as she snarled and grabbed the red monkey by the shoulders so she could forcibly turn him around and make him look at her, "Stop lying to me Sprx! Everyone, even Jinmay can tell that you haven't been yourself since we got back, why are you trying to shut everyone out?!" Nova flinched, she was about to open up her heart to him. "Why are you trying to shut me out? Please Sprx, tell me what's wrong, you're not alone! Don't act like you are!"

"I can't!" Sprx growled through his teeth and glared at her, "Don't you get it?! I almost killed you! Why don't you hate me?! You should wanna see to it that I get shut down! You all should!" Sprx panted after his little outburst before dropping his head to stare at the ground, "It's all my fault...if I hadn't given in to the Fire of Hate, none of this would be happening, we wouldn't have to deal with Skeleton King for the third time in a single year...I wouldn't have been one step away from ripping you apart...I just...can't find it in me to forgive myself for that."

"Oh Sprx...you still don't get it do you?"

"Get what?" the red monkey sighed hopelessly.

"It's not all about you!" Nova exclaimed, "It really is amazing sometimes, you find ways to be self-centered without even trying, and yet sometimes you find ways to be the sweetest guy ever." Sprx slowly looked up at Nova with a pained look in his eyes, "I've gotten a glimpse at the real SPRX-77, the one hiding behind all the wisecracks and obnoxious cockiness..." Hesitantly, Nova reached up to caress the side of Sprx's furry red face, "Don't you see?" she said almost in a whisper, "All that matters is that I forgive you...we forgive you! We know you weren't in control of your own actions, and that if you could've you would've stopped the Fire of Hate from controlling you...you're not Mandarin Sprx...you didn't betray us, the Fire of Hate took you over against your will."

"It still doesn't feel right." Sprx exhaled shakily as his usually well-hidden more sensitive emotions began to stir, "When I saw you on the ground in front of me with your arms almost ripped out of their sockets and your helmet almost torn open...by my hands...dang it Nova...I just wanted to be permanently deactivated and thrown into an asteroid field...I wanted to just..." Sprx stopped suddenly, as he had been suddenly been locked into an embrace by the yellow monkey who had been listening to him rant, "N-Nova..."

"Shut up." she said as she held him tighter, "Just shut up and listen to me...don't you have any idea how I would feel if that happened to you? Don't you remember what I said right before we managed to snap you out of it completely?"

"Yeah...but I figured it was just a way to get me to snap out of it or something."

"In a way it was...but I meant every word...Sprx I cried for you! When have you ever known me to cry? I didn't cry when we thought Antauri was dead, I didn't cry when Antauri was back, and I haven't cried for anyone else, not even Chiro! But for you I was crying."

"I...I..."

"What I said back there still applies Sprx..." Nova pulled back to look the red monkey dead in the eyes, "I love you too much to lose you."

Sprx was stunned to say the least. As he looked into the yellow monkey's pink eyes...he could see tears coming out of her organic eyes and they were starting to well up and leak from her robotic ones. A sight he never thought he'd see coming from the hotheaded warrior he knew as Nova. Shakily, Sprx lifted his arms to wrap them around her torso, and he closed his eyes to stop his own incoming tears from escaping, "I-I'm sorry Nova." he choked, "I'm so sorry..."

Nova held him tight to her own body, and leaned her chin on his metal-clad shoulders, "It's ok...you're not alone Sprx, no Monkey Team member is ever alone...you're loved here, not just by me, by everyone on the team. Chiro, Antauri, Gibson, Otto and Jinmay, they're all worried about you...we got rid of the hate controlling you, now you need to get rid of your self-hate, because there's no reason for it."

They sat there and just held each other for a few minutes, as Sprx finally allowed his heart to be cleansed by Nova's tender words and actions. "Thanks Nova..." he finally said after a while, "I had no idea how badly I needed something like this."

"We all need a chance to vent every once in a while, it was just your turn, that's all." Nova tilted her head to the side and smiled cutely at him, "Will you be there for me when it's my turn to vent my frustrations?"

Sprx smirked, "As long as it doesn't end in me having to go to the recovery ward."

Nova grinned, "That's the Sprx I know and love." Nova leaned in and kissed the red monkey's cheek, much to his shock, "Better get that flight simulator up and running again, you could use a little practice I think." she teased.

Sprx watched the yellow monkey begin to leave, still trying to process what the heck had just happened. "Hey! Just one question!" Nova looked over her shoulder to glance at the red monkey, "Are you really Nova? Or are you an angel from Heaven pretending to be Nova?"

Nova smirked and activated her giant fists, "Do you need me to beat you over the head a few times to make sure?"

Sprx shrieked and put his hands up, "No no, I'm convinced!"

Nova deactivated her powers, "There's another side to me too Sprx...you just probably won't get to see it that often."

"That's too bad, I kinda like the gentle Nova...she likes me better than the tough Nova."

Nova grinned, "We're one and the same, we like you the same amount...it's just that one side shows it better than the other."

The two monkeys smirked at each other, rather pleased at how the whole conversation had turned out. But suddenly the alarms of the Super Robot began wailing at full blast as Antauri's voice came over the intercom, "Monkey Team, to the Bridge, now!"

"This is it. You ready?" Nova looked at the red monkey expectantly.

Sprx responded by activating his magnets, "Let's do this."

Moments later, the entire Hyperforce was standing on the Bridge as the seemingly endless blips on the screen grew ever closer to Shuggazoom City. "According to the scanners, Skeleton King's Formless minions are mere minutes away from reaching the city. It is time Monkey Team."

"Nova," Chiro spoke up, "Do we have any backup coming?"

"Last I checked the Sun Riders and the Robo Apes were on their way, but there's no way to know for sure how long it'll take for them to get here." Nova responded.

"We did get a response from Master Offay, he says his mind has been cleared since leaving the corrupted planet and he is prepared to lend us his assistance." Antauri spoke up.

"Excellent, hopefully we'll get more responses soon." Chiro turned his attention to Otto, "How are the anti-undead weapons coming?"

"They're ready to go Chiro! All we gotta do is zap 'em with these babies and...alaka-squasho! They're goin' down!" Otto cheered in his usual overly-excited way.

"And we also have some other surprises." Gibson stepped up, "Otto and I have decided to add a few new devices to our arsenal which will hopefully give us an extra edge against the Skeleton King and his minions."

Otto momentarily walked away and soon came back with two metal cases. "Here ya go Gibson! Hurry up and open 'em!"

Gibson cleared his throat, "Yes, thank you Otto." Gibson took the first case and opened it, revealing five microchips.

"What are those Gibson?" Chiro asked.

"These Chiro, are microchip versions of your Monkey Translator, which after many weeks of work I have finally been able to reconstruct into what you see before you." Gibson took the first microchip and placed it into the port in the back of Otto's head, "Once I install these microchips into each of our speech centers, all of our allies - even the ones who couldn't before - will be able to comprehend our advanced primate dialect, making the need for Chiro or Jinmay to act as our translators no more."

"Way to go Gibson!" Chiro exclaimed.

Gibson went around installing microchips until it was finally his turn. When that time came, Otto placed the final microchip into the blue monkey's head. "So I did it right, right?" Otto asked.

"Yes Otto, well done." Gibson then picked up the second case and presented it to Chiro, "This last surprise, we built for you Chiro."

"For me?" Chiro opened the case, and the boy leaped back in shock at what was inside, "Mandarin's gauntlets?!"

"No Chiro! Your gauntlets, built entirely from scratch based on the original design for Mandarin's weapons, custom made for your use only." Gibson reassured.

Somewhat cautiously, Chiro poked at the gauntlet and quickly pulled his hand back, "Well...it doesn't seem like it's gonna do anything."

"Oh for heaven's sake." Gibson sweat-dropped, "Which part of 'I built them from scratch' is eluding you?"

"Sorry Gibson," Chiro rubbed the back of his neck and grinned sheepishly, "It's just kinda unnerving to see these things again...thanks." Steeling himself, Chiro took the gauntlets and placed them onto his hands, balling his fists to get a feel for them. "So do they work like Mandarin's old ones?"

"Precisely, although I did make a few modifications to the specs of the weapons." Gibson replied. Chiro transformed the hands and immediately an energy sword and shield appeared. "As you can see I've lengthened the sword and increased the diameter of the shield to accommodate your larger size."

Chiro gingerly swung his hand-sword and raised his new shield in front of him as he tried to get a feel for his new toys, "This is pretty awesome...these should definitely help out."

"Your ingenuity couldn't have come through for us at a better time Gibson," Antauri spoke up, "For the time has finally come...Skeleton King's forces are about to reach the city limits."

"Then it's time for us to make sure they don't get any farther than that." Chiro hissed, "Nova, any last second responses?"

Nova shook her head, "No one else yet Chiro."

"Then for now the seven of us will have to be enough until what little backup we're getting arrives."

"You counted one too few Chiro!" Otto blurted.

"What?" Chiro raised an eyebrow, "There's only seven of us Otto. You, me, Antauri, Sprx, Gibson, Nova and Jinmay...who else is there?"

"You forgot to count the Super Robot!"

Chiro smiled, "Oh yeah...how could I forget the Super Robot?" Although the Hyperforce couldn't tell from inside, the Robot's eyes had narrowed in determination, even as normally inanimate as it was, it still had the awareness to know that it was in for the fight of the century.

"Alright then team," one last glance at the screen showed that Skeleton King's army had reached the city limits, there was no more time to wait. "This is it, it's time we mobilized...Hyperforce...GO!"
_

A/N: So as you can see I made a slight change to the end of the final episode, made it more believable how the first huge battle would begin. Allies don't just come out of thin air, so I changed that. Also, there's a little more anguish inside of Sprx now, after all, what he did was horrible...unintentional, but horrible. Sprx seems like the kind of monkey that would hold a grudge against himself...certain things can't just be shrugged off that easily. Chiro's new weapons...look I liked Chiro having those things, but it's not like he'll start relying on them or anything, they're just a nice luxury to have. And the microchips...I needed a way to rig it that everyone would understand the monkeys, so there ya go. Should I keep it going? I have great ideas. If there are any other fans out there, please review, and let me know if you want me to continue.
