Chapter Four: Ripped Away

The Super Robot landed on the cold ground of Anur Phaetos. The feet seemed to shake as if numbed by the ground. The team carefully filed outside, wearing the small silver breathing things over their mouths.

Suddenly, a ghost flew towards the team and floated in front of them. It crossed its arms and glared at them. Then, it saw the Shadow Skull Chiro held in his arms.

"Another mortal come to command Anur Phaetos?" the ghost said.

"An Ectonurite," Gibson said, amazed. "No one has ever seen one before!"

"No, we're not here to control Anur Phaetos," Chiro said. "The Skeleton Prince."

The ghost vanished after he said that. Suddenly, a blur raced past the team with lightning speed.

"What was that?" Sparx asked.

Antauri activated his night-vision sensors. He caught sight of Mandarin racing past him, after Velina. "Velina! Mandarin! They're here!"

"We have to get the sword before they do!" Nova shouted. They all activated their jet packs and flew over the land. It looked like something out of a horror movie. The trees all looked gloomy and sad, but evil all the same. Ectonurites flew around them, but none bothered them.

They followed Velina and Mandarin to a strange-looking shrine. It looked kind of like a giant Ectonurite. The mouth was the doorway, and the two ran through it, and it closed on the Hyperforce.

"No!" Nova said. She started to pound on the door with all her might. Then, suddenly, it opened and Velina rushed out with the sword. Mandarin ran after her. They both seemed uninterested in attacking the Hyperforce.

"We lost it," Gibson said, deflated.

Hyperforce. Do not linger here and despair. There is one more item.
