Chiro panted as he dodged another attack from a formless. He should have expected Skeleton King to start an attack not long after his return. Looking around he saw that the rest of the team and their allies were starting to become exhausted. They needed to finish this battle or else they were never going to make it.
Chiro let out a gasp when he felt something constrict around his neck and lift him into the air. As he struggled the others noticed that he was no longer with them and their eyes widened when they saw who had a hold of him. Chiro didn't even have to look as he felt Skeleton King's presence come up behind him.
"Lower your weapons, unless you want to see your precious leader killed." Skeleton King growled with an evil smirk on his face.
Chiro could see the look in the others' eyes; they were going to give themselves up for him.
"NO!" he quickly yelled. "Don't let him win!"
Skeleton King growled and sent a wave of dark energy through his body, causing Chiro to scream in pain and almost fall unconscious. The others hesitated before lowering or deactivating their weapons. Seeing this Skeleton King gave an evil grin as he raised his staff. Everyone was confused when a small portal opened in front of him, but that quickly changed to fear as Chiro's limp body was levitated above the portal.
"You said you wouldn't kill him!" Sparks yelled.
"I did and I will not kill him, but instead send him to a place that he will never return from and no longer trouble me again." Skeleton King answered. "But first I must do this."
Before anyone could do anything Skeleton King shot a black ray at Chiro, causing him to scream out in pain. As everyone watched they saw that Chiro's body seemed to shrink and change shape. When Skeleton King stopped the ray everyone was shocked to see a small robot monkey with black fur and blue eyes wearing an orange scarf.
While everyone was frozen in shock Skeleton King stopped his levitation, causing Chiro to fall into the portal. The monkeys were the first to break out of their shock and quickly ran towards the portal. Just as they were about to reach it the portal closed, leaving them to stand in shock as Skeleton King cackled and teleported back to his castle, leaving everyone in shock at what just happened.
Jinmay and Nova fell to their knees, tears falling down their faces. The rest of the Hyper Force tried to comfort them, but they and the others were all thinking the same thing: how were they going to get Chiro back.
