Dawn of a New Era
Chapter 10: Vacation on Sunni
Jasmine's Point of View:
All of the team were excited for the vacation that my mother had directed us too. But out of all of them, I think I was the most excited. My mother had accepted me for who I am and wasn't going to take me back to Shuggazoom anytime soon. That, and I was going to meet some old friends of my parents, I can't wait to see them.
When I had gotten up this morning, I had gotten dressed in a purple bikini that showed off most of my skin and put on a lavender spaghetti strap shirt and a set of dark blue jean shorts over my bikini and hurried for the kitchen at quarter of six. Since we were supposed to get at Sunni at about seven, I wanted to get breakfast ready as soon as possible and get our stuff ready to go once we got there. I prepared another breakfast of everyone's favorites this morning, and that's when I saw Midnight come into the kitchen and jumped up to her spot next to me on the table.
"Morning Midnight." I called to her. She meowed in response and waited patiently for her food. I then stated to set the table with everyone's special food. For Annabel was pancakes and tea, for Gabriella was French toast and tea, for Rose was pancakes and OJ, for Rover was French toast and OJ, and for Olivia was some of both French toast and pancakes with OJ, along with the sausage and bacon I place in the center of the table for who ever wanted them. Then I grabbed a few pieces of sausage and mashed them up a bit in a bowl and crumbled up some bacon on top of that and placed it in front of Midnight, along with a bowl of milk next to her. She happily dug right in and I took my share of food and sat down, I pretty much had the same breakfast as Olivia, but I have tea instead of OJ most of the time.
I had only taken about a few bites before Annabel and Gabriella joined me at the table. I could see it in there faces that they were excited to go to Sunni just as much as I was. Even if it was only soft smiles I could see on their faces, their eyes were glowing in excitement that was easy for me to see.
"I see that you are already for this small vacation your mother has provided us." Annabel noticed.
"Yeah, I even had all the stuff I would need already packed into a bag last night. I threw it up in the command center after I finished packing and ran to bed knowing that I would be all set." I told her.
"I'm quiet looking forward to this vacation myself." Gabriella said. "It's said that on Sunni that they have great underwater expeditions to see the underwater life up close in their living environment. Rover said that he would go with me if I promised to play a game of beach volley ball with him, Rose and Olivia."
"Good job Gab." I told her. She smiled and drank some more of her tea. "The others still asleep? I figured all this food would have woken them up."
"Usually it would, but after yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if Rose and Rover both stayed in there rooms for a little while longer." Annabel said. "After seeing their mother yesterday, it brought relief to them that our families didn't hate us."
"Most of them don't hate us." I corrected her. "My father still won't see eye to eye with anyone on that until something changes. And that might take a while."
"Yes, well." Gabriella said. "They will probably be still in their rooms longer then to be expected, but Olivia should be up any minute now."
"Hey guys!" Olivia shouted, running into the kitchen digging into her plate as fast as she can. "I can't wait to go swimming and build a sand castle and play in the sand and look at all the cute sea creatures underwater and a whole bunch more!" She said with a mouth full of food.
"Calm down Olivia, after we get settled in, you can do all of that. I promise, and even play a game of beach volley ball with Rose, Rover and Gabriella." I told her.
"We also have to find the protectors of Sunni as well, or else we won't get our free passes in." Annabel noted.
"It shouldn't be that hard Annabel; we'll just ask the front desk and let them know. They'll call them and probably try to see if we really are the kids of their old friends." I told her.
"But some things are not always as easy as they appear to be." Annabel noted.
"I second that." Gabriella agreed.
"Common guys don't be downers! We got an awesome day ahead of us and you two are saying it's going to be hard and horrible!" Olivia said. "Can't we just worry about it when we get there if something goes wrong?"
"Olivia's right, besides, even if we worry about it now, there's nothing we can do until we get there, and so worrying is pointless." I pointed out.
Annabel sighed. "You both are right, but that does not ease my worries much, but we shall drop the subject for now. If there is anything else you need to do or get, do it now. And if you two could, would you wake up Rose and Rover. Its about time those two got up."
"Will do Annabel." Olivia and I said simultaneously. We turned to each other and laughed before getting up from our places. Midnight jumped from the table and onto my shoulder and we hurried out of the kitchen to the teams rooms.
"I'll take Rover's room, you take Rose's." I told Olivia. She nodded and ran off into Rose's room, and I headed into Rover's. Inside his room was yellow, like the color of his fur, and his punching bags and workout equipment were all thrown around in here. Some family photographs hung on the wall and his bed sat in the back of it all. I walked threw his piles of stuff and got over to his bed. I gentle shook him as to not startle him too badly.
"Rover, wake up." I told him. He turned over in his sleep and started muttering a few things, nothing to important, until I heard him say one phase that shocked me beyond belief.
"Gabriella, I love you…" I gasped when I heard it, and my surprised gasp didn't go unheard. Rover turned over and looked up at me. "Morning kid, what's up?" I placed a hand over my mouth and stared at him, unable to believe what I just heard him say. He loved Gabriella. I never thought he would say it so soon, or figure it out. "Kid! What's wrong?" Rover shouted at me. I blinked and shook my head. "I said something didn't I, what did I say kid?" There was no way for me to escape, I had to tell him.
"You said you loved Gabriella." I told him. He stood up in his bed and stared at me. "Rover," I paused. "I want you to tell me if you did mean it, do you love Gabriella?"
Rover sighed and looked down at his feet. "I think I do kid." He whispered.

After the encounter with Rover in his room about Gabriella, and with the answer I got, I left him alone to think about what happened, it clearly worked him up. Other then that though, everything was moving on smoothly, the others were ready to head on the beach and to the water. Rover joined us when his head was cleared and masked his worry with a cocky smile. Midnight also joined me after taking another nap in my lap as we waited to land. She stretched her body around my neck and laid there while the robot landed.
Sunni soon came into view as we landed. Tropical flowers were planted all around outside. The resort that we were staying at was at the edge of the ocean and called 'The Sunni Paradise'. We were staying for about a few days to a week here, not much more or else my father would find us here. The resort was built in an old log house style, but still quiet up to date in everything.
We landed the robot in the back of the parking lot out of anyone's way and we walked out. The sea breeze was strong and blew by us, salt in the air, and did it smell heavenly. We quickly wailed over to the reception desk and there sat a snotty looking man with neat black hair and glasses, in a dark gray business suit.
"Excuse me, sir?" I asked the man. He looked up at me from the paper he was working on. I noticed his nose was super long; it looked like it was made of wax. I could hear Rose and Olivia joking about it behind me, but Annabel shushed them. "We are looking for the protectors of this area; can you tell us where they are?"
The man sighed and took out a piece of paper. "Please tell what is your business with them and who you are and I'll see when they are free next."
"We are the 2nd Hyper Force and my mother, Jinmay of the 1st Hyper Force told me to meet up with them here." The man's jaw dropped and the pen he was holding fell out of his hand. He sat there silently before he burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Rose asked, annoyed with his behavior. The man just laughed a little longer before he stopped and grabbed his pen again.
"That was a good laugh, now what is it that you really have with our protectors?" He said. The team's jaws all dropped and I just stared at him.
"We told you." I heard Gabriella mutter. Annabel shook her head and sighed.
"We told you what we were here for." I told him. "Now where are they?"
"Our protectors don't have time for you, and I don't either, now either tell the real reason you need to see them or order a set of rooms to stay in." He said.
"We are telling you the truth you pointed nose freak!" Rover shouted at him.
"The nerve of you! I can have you thrown out of this resort for the rest of your life!" The man yelled at him.
"Excuse me, but is something amiss here?" The seven of us looked up and saw a woman who seamed to be in her late thirties to early forties, but she was still quite beautiful. Her hair was long and black, and her eyes were a deep blue in color.
"Oh thank goodness you're here Miss Aurora!" The man said. "These children keep pestering for you, Mr. Quasar, and Mr. Sunspot. They keep saying that they are the children of the Hyper Force and will not leave! Forgive me for bothering you Miss Aurora, but will you please help me move these delinquents out of our lobby?" The woman, Aurora looked at me, right into my eyes. I looked at her wearingly and she blinked before giving mea look of surprise.
"Those eyes," She whispered. "You have Chiro's eyes."
"You know my father?" I asked her. She nodded and turned her back to us.
"Follow me." She said. I walked after her and the team soon followed after us. Aurora led us to an elevator and once we were all inside, she pressed the button for the top floor. When we got to the top, there was a long hallway that led to a single room at the end. Aurora opened the door and led us into a large lounge area that was very elegant in comparison to the log cabin exterior outside of this resort. The walls were bright and the furniture dark in comparison to stand out in the room, compared to its bright walls. Two men were in the room, one sat in front of the television and the other stood in front of the window, gazing over the resort's beach. "Boys, we have company." She told them.
The two of them looked back at us, staring extremely curiously when they saw the robotic monkeys behind me, and then they looked at my eyes. The youngest of them all, which sat in front of the TV and had short orange hair, got up form his spot and came over to me. He placed his hand gently under my chin and looked deeply into my eyes. He then smiled and closed his eyes, letting his hand slowly fall at his side. He opened his eyes again and grinned. "You really are Jasmine, Chiro's kid."
I snorted. "I was beginning to wonder if anyone would ever believe me." The man in front of me broke out into fits of laughter and Aurora and the other man came to our sides.
"It has been to long since we have seen you Jasmine-san." The other man said.
I cocked my head at him like Midnight often does to us when she's confused. "What do you mean by that? Have we met before?" I asked.
"Yes and no." The orange haired man said. "We met you, but it was back a few days after you had been born. After that one meet with you, your father sent us and all his allies away, to keep you hidden from this life, but it turns out his plans didn't work."
I sighed. "Most of the things my father did plan haven't been working since after I was born. But it's supposedly because he confused and being controlled by the Skeleton Queen."
"Hold up." The orange haired man said. "I thought there was only Skeleton King; don't tell me his dead lover took his place to take over the universe or something."
"We once thought so too." Gabriella said. "But we have since faced her armies of the undead countless times, and have seen her in person as our ships passed by each other. She travels in a Citadel of Bone, just as the Skeleton King did."
"You must be Gabriella, to have such intelligence as you do, as well as that deep blue fur as your father does." Aurora said.
"You know about us?" Annabel asked.
"We know a bit about you. All the allies of the Hyper Force lived on Shuggazoom after the battle against Skeleton King. And we all got to see ourselves start their own families on that planet, and where we met you when you were babies, and a bit after that, until Jasmine-san was born. Then Chiro-san had all of us leave to any other planet but Shuggazoom so that you would never find out about us or your abilities." The black hair man said.
"Well, that didn't honestly work, so I guess you guys can head back if you want to." I told them. They laughed. "By the way, who are you guys? My Mom said that you were friends of her's and my Dad's, but that doesn't really help, plus I don't recognize you."
The orange haired man laughed. "Its not surprising, your father probably cut you off with anything that related to us or any of the other allies. We're known as the Sun Riders. I'm Johnny Sunspot; you already met Aurora Six, and last our leader Super Quasar. We were great friends and allies back when we fought together, but it's been too long since we've seen him."
"The Skeleton Queen has changed him too much; he's only a hollow shell of what he used to be." I whispered.
"What do you remember him by?" Aurora asked me.
"I never spent much time with him because he never was around me much from that witch messing with his head, so I never really knew much about him. He was just there in my life, but he didn't really mean much to me. Then my mother followed in his footsteps and left me too, but she was able to snap out of it and apologize to me. She's even the one who sent us here, for a nice vacation after facing Skeleton Queen for so long. That is, if you'll let us." I told them. Johnny and Super Quasar grinned at me, while Aurora came over to my side and placed her hands on my shoulders, avoiding Midnight who was asleep behind my hair.
"We would be honored to have the children of our friends stay with us." She said. "And when you want to know, we'll tell you exactly how your father used to be. Before anything happened to him, when he was kind and brave."
"I would love to hear about my father, and thank you for letting us stay here." I sighed, but with a smile on my face.
"Well then, let's get you some rooms. We'll try to get you some rooms that are right under ours, so you'll be close by everyday. How long do you plan to stay?" Johnny said.
"About a week." Rose said.
"Not much time, but it still should be fun." We were now in the lobby again. I saw that same man that yelled at us earlier at the front desk. Aurora looked back at us and winked before she walked up to the man.
"I need to reserve three rooms for six friends of mine." She told him. He stumbled as he looked up at her and feel out or his chair. We all laughed, and even Annabel showed us a smile.
"Of course Miss Aurora, and who may I ask are these room for?" He said, she pointed back over at us with the rest of the Sun Riders and his jaw dropped. "But Miss Aurora, they can't be your friends' children! I mean didn't you hear what they said to me?"
"What do you have for rooms on the floor just below ours?" She asked, ignoring his whining which seamed to be getting louder.
"But Miss Aurora, they-"
"What rooms?" She growled loudly at him. The man instantly froze and Aurora glared at him. He then started typing furiously on his computer, looking for the answer to her question.
"There are three rooms below your personal suit that are open, any others are full. These rooms are close to the elevators and have a large, beautiful view over the ocean with a deck outside the window to enjoy the morning breeze." The man said. Aurora looked back at us.
"Does this at all fit you liking?" She asked.
"They'll work just fine. Thank you Aurora." Annabel said.
"So who's staying with who?" Rose asked. "We have to pair up since there are only three rooms, and I refuse to stay in the same room as my brother so I'm going with Olivia." She ran over to Olivia and grabbed her hand. The two of the grinned before taking one of the sets of keys that Aurora had gotten from the front desk and ran off with their stuff, leaving the four of us with the Sun Riders in the lobby.
"Ok, anyone else got a preference? I don't really care who I'm bunked with so if anyone else wants to stay with someone, speak up now." I said. I looked at the three robot monkeys before me. Annabel seamed quite calm as always, Gabriella seamed deep in thought with a tiny hint of red in her fur, but not very noticeable so that the boys around us didn't notice, and Rover was looking at Gabriella every now and then before looking up at the ceiling and scratching behind his head.
"Gabriella, Rover, why don't you two share a room?" Annabel asked them. "If the two of you don't mind staying in a room together for a few nights." The two of them looked surprised before looking at each other, but then quickly looking away with smiles on there faces and a deep red in there fur that was deeper then the real color of Rose's fur.
"Well, if Rover doesn't mind because I'm not very picky." Gabriella said, looking down at her feet.
"It doesn't bother me at all. I just hope you don't mind staying the same room with a guy for a few nights." Roved told her looking off out of the window. The red in his golden fur becoming much more noticeable, and we all were trying to keep out of the conversation.
"I've had to live with you in the Super Robot for years now; I don't think it'll be much difference if we're in the same room at night for only a few days." She replied to him, looking at him with the blush in both their faces.
"How about you two go already before you make a scene?" Johnny suggested. The two of them looked around them and notice the many faces that had stopped to look at them with smiling faces. Gabriella blushed madly and grabbed the keys from Aurora and led Rover out of the lobby and into the elevator.
"I guess that means the three of us are stuck together Annabel." I said. She nodded.
"What do you mean by that?" Aurora asked. I smiled and lifted up the hair that was covering Midnight, still fast asleep, even threw all of this drama and noise. "What an adorable kitten. Now I understand what you mean." She smiled. "Now before you go, I want to let you know that we're going to head out to the beach in about half an hour after we deal with a few matters of money with the future event that are happening during the week. We'll meet you out there later, so enjoy yourselves on our private beach. Here's a key to get you in, and to find it, there's a map on the back of the key." She said, handing us a small plastic key.
"Thanks Aurora, we'll see you and the others in a bit." I said, grabbing my things and Annabel grabbed hers and we headed off with the last key to our floor. When we got there, we already heard the rooms being trashed before we got up there. Thankfully it wasn't our team that was causing the problem; it was some drunk teenagers that were being chased off by the staff. "Well that was unusual." I stated. Annabel nodded and we moved around the scene and walked up to our rooms. Two of them were already open and I could see my team placing all there things in there places. I walked by them with Annabel and Midnight and opened our door; it was like any other resort room for two, very large, a warm appealing, but very spacey color. Two beds spread out along with dressers for clothes and a small refrigerator for personal food and beverages.
"This is nice." Annabel stated. I nodded and began to take care of my few things that I had brought with me. My clothes I packed away in the dresser and anything else I put off to the side. Annabel took care of the few things that she brought with her and then we headed out with our beach bag in hand. Our teams' doors were open still and I could see fur flying as Rose had lost her temper again at Olivia and was chasing her around the room with Gabriella and Rover watching, rolling there eyes.
"Do I dare ask what happened this time?" I asked Gabriella and Rover. Rover shook his head and turned to walk out of the door, sighing. Gabriella chased after him and Annabel after her, to take them down to the beach. Now I just had to deal with these two, wonderful. Not.
I walked up to the two of them and stood there as I watched them run around in circles. Olivia then stopped though when she saw me and saw my annoyed face. Rose crashed into her and they both were looking up at me. "Uh oh." They whispered.
I sighed and looked at the two of them. "I can't believe you two would do this on our vacation. I would have thought that at least you two could wait to fight until you were out on the beach or in the water." I scolded them. "The others have already headed out for the beach and were heading out there too now, so get anything you may need and I'll hold on to it, then get down to the water before anything else happens."
"Sorry Jazz." The whispered to me on their way out, I gabbed the few things we need and followed them out. They walked silently downstairs and into the lobby, where we passed by the man that had yelled at us. He looked at us with an eye filled with hatred before turning back to his work. The girls giggled and kept moving toward the beach. I couldn't help but give a sly smile as we passed by.
We soon got out on the beach and hurried over to the others who were waiting in front of the gate that led to the Sun Riders' private beach. As we walked up, Gabriella waved her hand to us and Olivia ran up after them, while Rose stayed back and tried to pull me to the others or make me move faster. I rolled my eyes as she pulled on my arm and I grabbed the key that was in my pocket and threw it to Annabel before Rose took my arm off. Annabel used the power primate to catch the key in midair and levitate it over to herself and opened the gate for the others. Rose then let go of my arm and ran after the others. I laughed as all five of them were out of my sights in seconds.
I hurried after them at a fast paced walk and soon arrived on the very large private beach with the others. They were already laughing and playing and enjoying the sun and water. Annabel had levitated herself over the water in placed a shield to protect her from the water and then let herself sink in it. The others were all playing volley ball on the sand.
"Kid!" Rover shouted from the game. "Can you keep score? Annabel wouldn't do it because she wanted to meditate under the water!"
"Sure Rover!" I yelled back at him. "Just promise me that neither Midnight nor I will get hit by the volley ball, or by any of you!"
"No promises!" Rose and Olivia shouted. I laughed and sat next to the net anyway and watched there game for a while and kept there score. I soon found out that the teams were Gabriella and Rover vs. Rose and Olivia. When the game first began, it was in Rose and Olivia favor because Rover and Gabriella had never worked so closely together in anything, so it took them some times to get over that and into the game. Then soon after the game became tied and then was in favor Gabriella and Rover soon after. The game then was won in the end by Gabriella and Rover, but only by two points. The two teams shook hands and then went their different ways. Rover and Gabriella went off for their underwater viewing of the sea life here, and Rose and Olivia headed down on the beach to make sand castles.
During the time that they had been playing the game, I had placed down a towel for all of us and pulled off my shirt and shorts and placed them in our bag. I them moved down toward the water after I made sure that I had placed Midnight on the towel so that she wouldn't get wet. I knew that she'd hate that. I was waist deep when I saw that Olivia and Rose noticed I was in the water. Olivia ran out with me and started swimming where as Rose stayed on shore on took her time getting in.
"Does Rose have a problem with water?" I asked Olivia. She nodded.
"Rose and Rover both have a hard time getting the water because of their Dad. He doesn't like the water much and they became that way too after a while. They still like swimming in the water, but they don't get in very quickly because they have to get passed that fact." She said.
"So it's going to be a while before she gets in?"
"Yeah, but I know a way to get her in faster then I got in."
"Why does that give me a very bad feeling?" I asked, backing away from her.
"Because you should be afraid, I'm going to make her more angry at me then every." Olivia grinned at me before she turned back to the shore where Rose was. "ROSIE! WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU OUT HERE YOU BIG CHICKEN!" I don't think I ever saw Rose so livid in my life. Faster then I could move further out, Rose had catapulted herself at Olivia and was trying to beat the crap out of her, but the water was getting in the way. When Rose realized what she was in, she freaked out and tried to get back to shore, but had to fight against the waves that were trying to pull her out in this deep ocean water. I hurried over to her and picked her up in my arms, and she them used my body to climb up to the top of my head and she breathed deeply before screaming at Olivia. I couldn't even comprehend what she was saying because she was screaming right above my ear.
"Enough!" I shouted at Rose after a while. She and Olivia froze and looked at me. "If you don't stop this Rose and get over it, I'm going to drop you in, seeing as I'm the one keeping you from getting wet." Rose went quieter then I thought possible, but held onto me tighter. I carried her back over to the shore and placed her down on the ground there. Olivia came over to her and the two went at it again, but this time I was out of the way.
I went out further into the water to where Annabel had gone under and followed her down. It was a little hard to see, but it was cool. The fish and the plant life swam around me as I swam down deeper. The pressure was hard on my lungs, but I ignored that and swam down further. I finally saw Annabel in her shield on top of a rock, just sitting there in the water. I swam down next to her tapped on the shield. I saw one of her blue eyes open and I waved at her. She lifted one hand from her stance and waved to me once before going back into her meditation. I rolled my eyes and looked out around me. Off in the distance I saw a bright red light, and I don't think that's normal around here. I headed toward Annabel's shield and forced my head threw and saw that there was a underwater base here, a gun sticking out of the rocks, charging up, and pointed right at us. I grabbed Annabel and pushed off the rock just in time to avoid the blast, until I had to scream. I felt all the air rush out of me, and I wanted to scream again and again, but the water was in the way. I felt a burning in my foot that hurt beyond belief. I hunched over in pain, the red beam had gotten my foot, possibly the lower half of my leg. The pain was too blinding to see or do anything. Not even when Annabel helped me out of the water.
Mystery Point of View:
It had been too long since I had caused any destruction on this planet. I had a need to hurt others, ever since I had felt the painful betrayal of my brothers and sister. I had felt a form of happiness when I worked for my master, but upon his death and fleeing the war, had brought upon even more anger. I soon found my wife later on; she was a pure being who despised my evil intentions on others. She kept me hidden for the passed few years until she had given birth to our daughter, which had taken her life. In her memory, I had named my child after my wife in honor of her. Though my child was not much like her mother, other then her dark orange fur color. Other then that one fact, my daughter liked to hurt others as well, which made us close.
I had built myself this underwater base during the time that wife was still alive. My daughter and I have lived here for many years, and my wife had been buried here as well, her gave is her room that I had made a long time ago. I often visit her grave and pay my respects to her, even I, being evil could love another or another love me, I thought it was impossible once, but then I was thought that nothing is impossible.
As I walked down the hallway of my underwater home, I noticed that our laser gun that was on the outside of our home had been fired. I hurried up to the command room and saw my young daughter at the controls, pouting.
"Daddy!" She cried when she saw me. She ran over and hugged me before she pulled me over to the window next to the controls she was just at. "I saw a black monkey in the water, and I remembered you telling me that you hated a black monkey that was your brother and this one looked just like you told me, except for the eyes were blue instead of yellow, and I fired at, but I missed! And it was all because that stupid human girl got in the way, but I got her foot! I did a good job, right Daddy?"
I looked out the window as my daughter had showed me, and out there I saw a human gasping for breath in the water with a burned foot. In the human girl's arms, I saw a black monkey with blue eyes, using a rocket pack to push the human up to the surface. It was Annabel, my brother's daughter, my niece. And that human girl, it must have been the hairless monkey's daughter.
"You didn't do a good job, you did a wonderful job." My daughter beamed at me. "Now come my child, we have much to do, if we are to hurt them further." My daughter grinned with me and we hurried to the surface, its going to be a wonderful family reunion.
Jasmine's Point of View:
I was never able to tell if I was in the water or not because of the blinding pain in my leg. But I must have been out of the water to be able to scream. Because that was all I could feel and do, deal with the pain and scream. It was a long time before I couldn't feel it anymore, it was numb, and I could look around me, and there I saw my team. Worry was through out all of there faces.
"Are you alright Jasmine?" Gabriella asked. I could just barely nod to her. I felt like I was numb everywhere. I felt as if I couldn't move an inch.
"Your foot got blasted under the water with a laser, thank god that the water weakened it profoundly or else you would have lost your foot." Aurora told me, standing over my team behind them with her own team. "How do you feel?"
"I can't feel anything; I don't know how I feel." I whispered.
"That's to be expected." Gabriella said. "I gave you something to get ride of the pain. It's also supposed to put you under, but your will and the power primate are stopping that effect."
"Annabel," I turned to her. "Did you see what I saw?"
She sighed, but nodded to me. "Yes, I did see the laser and the hidden base below. Who it belongs to, I wouldn't know. But we will find out. We're going to investigate, wait here while we check it out."
"But Annabel, I don't want to wait."
"And what would you do then; you can't exactly fight with your foot like this." She said to me.
"Why wait when we could come right to you?" We heard a voice yell off in the distance. We looked off and saw two orange monkeys. One was very old and looked to covered head to toe in armor that looked to be made of bone. The other orange monkey next to him was extremely young; she seamed to be covered in normal armor like my team was. "Ah, my nieces and nephew, at long last I see your faces."
"Mandarin." Annabel whispered. The rest of the team gasped and protectively stood around me.
"Who?" I asked.
"Mandarin was the monkey who went bad on our parent's team, who was eventually replaced by your Dad kid." Rover said. "The girl next to him though, I got no clue, but the two of them must be friends in some way."
"What do you want Mandarin?" Rose growled.
"Don't talk to my father that way!" The younger monkey yelled.
"Calm yourself Mandy." Mandarin said to her. "My wicked daughter, you will have your chance, just give it time."
"Yes father." Mandy said. She looked down at me evilly and grinned. "Father, when the time comes, can I kill the human girl? She just looks so weak, and I bet it would hurt the whole team drastically." My team got even closer to me and the Sun Riders created there own barrier around us.
"I understand my dear girl, but I want to be the one to end the flesh of the one related to the man who killed my wicked master. You can have anyone else, but she is mine."
"Yes father." She said, licking her teeth. "I think I'll go for the yellow one then, he looks…" She licked her lips. "Delicious."
"Keep away from him you witch." Gabriella growled, placing her body in front of Rover's while he just stood there, creped out by the situation with the deranged orange monkey in front of him.
"Why don't you make me you little blue fur ball?" Mandy laughed. Gabriella lunged forward and tackled Mandy and the two of them went into a full out cat fight. Fur flew as the two of them drew out there weapons and held nothing back.
"Sun Riders, Go!" Super Quasar yelled.
"Hyper Force, Go!" Annabel called. All of them raced into action and left me away from the battle. That was until Mandarin raced passed all the others and went to strike me. Midnight however got in his way, changing into her beast-like form and defending me. Mandarin jumped back and slowly moved around her, as she moved around me, never letting Mandarin have a single shot at me. Soon the teams though caught up with us and forced him back toward the fight between Gabriella and Mandy.
"Mandy!" Mandarin called. "Fall back!"
"Why father?" She just barely was able to call from underneath Gabriella.
"There are too many to fight! We must fall back or we will surely be ended!" It was then that Mandy kicked Gabriella off of her and ran toward her father. They rushed off toward there ship that was afloat behind us all and blasted off into space before we could give chase.
"Should we give chase to them?" Gabriella asked.
"Not with Jasmine in her current health. That, and they have already gotten out of range, so it's too late now, there ship is too fast for us without the Super Robot." Annabel said.
"So what now, back to vacation?" Olivia asked.
Annabel sighed. "I'm afraid that all we can do at the moment. Gabriella, you and Rover tend to Jasmine's foot and the rest of us along with the Sun Rider's help will check the area for anything else, if nothing else seams amiss, then yes Olivia, we can go back to vacation." Everyone nodded and got to work. Rose and Olivia ran after Annabel who was with the Sun Riders, heading over to the area where Mandarin and Mandy appeared from. Rover and Gabriella hurried over to my side where Midnight was already on my shoulder, in her normal form, watching around me.
That medicine of Gabriella's though, I could feel the power primate giving in finally to it and with my will on its own, I was a goner against it. I felt myself drifting away, and soon, all I saw and felt was a dark numbness.
