The Beginning:

Chapter 3

The monkey team stood outside the super robot facing the road that led from and into Shuggazoom City. Chiro glanced at the monkeys, who were in the athletic pose of bent knees and raised arms, then back to the road. In the horizon he spotted a small black dot that grew rapidly and multiplied to a few dozen. As the forms got closer, Chiro could see the figure and shape of them better. The forms had the same basic structure of a human with a torso, head, arms, and legs. The difference was that they had black stripes, on their bodies and down their sides, giving them a skeletal look. They also had a bone-like mask covering their head.

"What are those things?"

Gibson answered the curious boy, "We call these rather foul-looking creatures Formless."

"They are the basic creation of the Skeleton King," Antauri explained.

"Skeleton King?"

"Now you're catching on," said Sparks, the red monkey, with a small hint of irritation in his tone.

"So how do you guys fight them?" He glanced down at the monkeys' bare, metal hands. "Do you guys just punch and claw at them or something?"

"That's just plain silly." Otto's robotic hands transformed into green energy saws. "We attack with something more like this."

The rest of the team followed; transforming their hands into unique weapons. Nova's hands were huge, yellow and pink fists that could probably knock out someone's jaw with one punch. Sparx had red magnets on the end of his arms, which looked like they had been polished thoroughly. Gibson's hands looked like drills with a sharp pointed tip. And both of Antauri's arms looked teal and ghost-like with razor sharp claws.

"Wow." Chiro gawked at the monkeys' robotic abilities. "So…if I'm a part of your team now do I get some sort of ultra-cool weapon?" he asked with some hope and a huge grin. "You know like some awesome sword, or a blaster! Maybe gloves that shoots out some sort of laser beam!"

"We'll have to talk later kid; right now our hands are kind of full." Sparx charged up his magnets to where a magnetic sphere had formed between each magnet. The monkey called out, "Magna-Ball Blazer!" as he spread apart his arms, detaching the magnetic waves from his left hand, and threw the highly magnetic sphere towards the formless with his right magnet.

The sphere hit some of the closer formless sending them into the row behind, splattering them all into thick blobs of black goo.

The rest of the monkeys charged after the formless.

"Boom Boom Wake Up!" Nova screamed as she threw her fists into the faces of her enemies.

Otto shot out his rotating green saws towards the creatures right of him. Unaware though that more formless were rapidly coming up on his opposite side, getting ready to attack him.

Gibson quickly jumped in between the minions and his brother, and used his spinning drills to swirl the enemies into a blobby mess.

Otto heard the drills next to him. "Whoops! I guess I've been asleep for so long I've forgotten to watch my back," he said playfully sticking out his tongue.

"Really Otto, you must pay more attention to your opponents when you're in battle," he shrugged.

More formless were coming up from behind Gibson.

"Magna-Tingler Blast!" Sparx yelled as he aimed his attack on the formless charging the blue monkey. "What was that about paying more attention to your opponents?" he smirked.

Gibson coughed and turned away from the red monkey with embarrassment.

The young boy watched the monkeys with awe in his eyes. "Whoa!" He grinned as the primates fought their enemies. "That is so cool!"

Behind him three formless mindlessly charge after Chiro hands raised ready to make an attack.

Sensing the danger, Chiro turned around. When he saw the formless only feet away he quickly covered his face and let out a yell of terror.

"Claw Disruptor!" The black monkey, Antauri, sliced the handful of creatures before they could take a swipe at the boy. "Are you okay, Chiro?"

He nodded because the word 'yes' just couldn't seem to come out of his throat.

"I suggest you take shelter in the Super Robot until Skeleton King's minions have been dealt with."

"But—"

More formless came up around Antauri. The yellow and green monkeys, Nova and Otto, joined their leader primate in attack for assistance.

Chiro turned to look at the super robot. He hesitated for a moment, looking back at the team, then headed inside.
