Hey everybody, I'm back! Sorry about the late update, but here you guys go. :) I would like to sincerely thank those of you reading, reviewing and favoriting/following this story. Without your support I would never have gotten this far. I know sometimes I might not update for a while, but don't worry, I'll come back eventually, but I will NEVER leave you guys hanging for ten months straight. That would be too cruel.

Chapter 11: We're Lost! Part 1

Not long after the Flytor incident Otto managed to get the engines for the flying mechanism of the Super Robot working again. The robot was once again able to hover and now that it is they all thought that it was about time to search for Azalea's long lost little brother. She gave them an idea of where she has seen his space pod travel off to, but it didn't help much and he could've been anywhere in the galaxy. This still didn't stop them all from trying.

The seven of them were currently soaring through the galaxy. This was Azalea's first time being off from a planet so she could see how beautiful the stars were. There were so many of them! Their light shined through the black vastness of space and twinkled like a million pieces of crushed diamonds, scattered about. She looked out of the window to see all of this and could get glimpses of meteors and some space rocks passing by. Azalea felt as if she was a bird sailing through the sky.

Chiro and the monkey team have already experienced all of this before, so this really wasn't anything new for them. Gibson activated a tracking device that could read all human lifeforms such as Azalea from long distances. It was a device that he and Otto just recently built into the Super Robot. So far they got nothing.

Towards the side of the room Otto said that he was working on a new project with Gibson that could teleport them anywhere in the universe so that they could make traveling easier. Azalea thought that was a really neat idea. On Earth where she came from building a teleportation machine was a dream that all sci-fi writers and people alike wished would become a reality. Now here she was in another universe trillions of light years away from Earth, and she's actually going to experience one right here, right now…if it goes well. Antauri began piloting the Super Robot while Gibson and Otto were building the machine.

Azalea was sitting in one of the pod chairs in the Super Robot and just sat there while the team was hard at work, helping her trying to find Ivan's whereabouts. She felt a little guilty because of that. She asked Chiro and the monkeys if there was something she could help them out with, but they all said that they had everything under control. Azalea hoped that Ivan was alright, wherever he was out there.

"That reminds me," she said. "I was just wondering, how is it that there's gravity and oxygen inside of this robot?"

"There's a system that stores a plentiful amount of oxygen in here," Gibson replied, continuing to work on the teleportation machine. "As for gravity we have something called an Anti-Float Gravitational System. All space ships have them in Shuggazoom." To Azalea she found that fascinating. She heard on a lot of TV programs that scientists were trying to figure out a way to get gravity into ships, so that people's bones don't get brittle out in the void. If she brought the blueprints to something like that on her home planet then who knows how the people would react to such an extraordinary finding.

"Hmm…interesting. You have to show me how to build one of those things sometime."

A little while later the teleportation machine that Gibson and Otto were working on was finally finished. They were excited to try it out for the first time and got everybody to gather around so that Gibson could do a presentation on it. The blue monkey made last minute changes to the device, making sure the bolts and screws were securely tight. Nobody wanted the machine to malfunction or get out of hand. Nova had objections about this.

"You sure this is safe?"

"I think it is," Otto replied.

"Well, we haven't tried it out yet," said Gibson. "Please bear with me that this will work. I haven't tried building something this…complicated before. There's a high possibility that the molecular structure for teleportation could get out of hand."

"I have a bad feeling about this," said Antauri.

"You sure that you can't test it out in a safe vicinity or something?" Chiro questioned.

"Just plug it in already," Azalea urged. "We'll be prepared for the worst." Sparx agreed and begged Otto and Gibson to try it out already. The green monkey plugged in the machine into the nearest outlet and Gibson turned the "on" switch. From there all hell broke loose.

The teleportation device made humming noises that grew louder by the second and a blue energy engulfed around them and the entire Super Robot. The force coming from the machine was incredible and pushed them all back to the ground. The blue light got so blinding that Azalea and the team had to shield their eyes. She could hear Gibson yelling to Otto to unplug the machine through all the racket, but he was too much out of reach in order to pull the plug. The team let out a shriek as this was all happening. A loud whooshing sound followed soon after and that was all that she remembered.

Azalea woke up to the sound of hearing Chiro call out her name and shaking her and asking if she was alright. She gradually aroused from her short sleep and hastily sat up. She saw that the Super Robot was a mess. Scattered across the floor was the parts of the teleportation machine that blew up after the sudden overload in the mechanism. She was surprised nobody got seriously hurt. The rest of the team members were already wide awake. Gibson was pondering over why all of this went wrong. He double checked to make sure everything was set multiple times and the device was still a complete failure.

"That was an interesting feeling. What just happened?" Azalea asked.

"We got teleported galaxies away from Shuggazoom, that's what happened," Sparx replied.

"And now the machines broken and we don't even know how to make it work again so that we can get back home!" Nova added.

"Hold on a second guys," Chiro announced. "I'm sure that we'll figure out something to get out of this mess. We always do." Antauri agreed.

"Indeed. We just need to figure out how to get this machine properly working again. Gibson, do you have an idea of how this went wrong?" He shook his head.

"No, I don't. The only thing that I can think of is that we forgot one very important metal. One that we can't get from our own galaxy."

"Do you know what it's called?" Azalea asked.

"No, but I do know that we can get it from a nearby planet around here somewhere." He typed in something onto the main computer of the Super Robot and the screen showed them the nearest planet where it has that mineral on. "There we go. We can go there and fetch the metal. We only need some of it. If we get that metal I think I can get the teleportation machine working again."

"Then what are we waiting for?" said Nova. "Let's go and get it so that we can get out of here and find Azalea's brother!"

They had the Super Robot land on the unknown planet. Chiro was going to put his suit on since most planets that they go to don't have oxygen or gravity for that matter, but Antauri told them that there was oxygen and gravity here on this planet so wearing space suits wasn't necessary. They took a look on the planet using the main computer/ TV system of the robot. They were all surprised to see that the planet was full of ponds, lakes, rivers and plenty of oceans. Gibson recorded that this planet was approximately made up of eighty percent water. As for the other twenty percent it was land that was filled with breath taking trees, vegetation and a plentiful amount of sweet smelling flowers. They looked closely familiar to the ones on Earth, but it wasn't their home planet that's for sure.

"So where do you think we can get this mineral Gibson?" Chiro asked.

"It's around here somewhere. This device senses that it's fairly close."

"Then let's get this metal and get out of here," said Nova. Azalea was going to go outside with the rest of the team, but the black monkey stopped her.

"You can stay here Azalea," Antauri instructed. "This shouldn't take too long." She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. Ever since she's been with the team she could tell that they still didn't trust her that much. It was understandable, but she wished that she could be able to wield her Sword of Destruction and help them fight. She wasn't all that useless after all. Azalea obeyed as Chiro and the team went out.

Two long hours have passed and Azalea was starting to get worried about the guys. Gibson reassured her before that it wouldn't take very long, but two hours seemed like a long time to her. With them being on an unknown planet it would be natural for them to run into trouble. Azalea finished sipping the last of her fourth cup of coffee that she's had since the team's been gone. She mostly drank it out of boredom. It's too bad that they didn't have any more sugar that she can put in her coffee. She wondered why it was all gone already.

It wasn't long before there was a bunch of what looked like fish people that was right outside the Super Robot's front door. With them they had Chiro and the monkey team with their hands tied behind their back, making it certain that they were captured. Azalea saw all of this from the main screen.

These fish people looked like regular people, except their skin color was blue and their eyes were narrower than ordinary people. They dressed like they were from some kind of native tribe. The males shirtless with tribal markings all over them and wearing a short kilt made of leather, while the women wore knee high fitted dresses made out of animal hide. They also had paint markings on their arms and faces. Most of the people's hair was black, but some had dark brown messy looking hair too. These people also had gills on the sides of their necks as well as flappers on their arms and feet. They all had handmade weapons such as spears, swords and bows and arrows in their hands, making it known that they weren't friendly. The main male leader of the group announced to Azalea that she has to come out or else her friends will get killed. She slapped herself on the forehead.

"Damn, how did Chiro and the others get captured by such…uncivilized people?" She rolled her eyes and thought that she'd mind as well do as they say…for now. She would've gotten her Sword of Destruction, but it would be too risky with the others in custody.

She came out of the Super Robot with her hands up in the air and tried telling them that they weren't here to harm anyone or cause any trouble. They continued to point their spears and swords at her while they tied her hands behind her back with thick and rough twin. The fish people began taking them somewhere and forcefully pushing them in the direction that they want them to go. Azalea turned towards Chiro.

"How did you…?"

"Please don't ask. These people are stronger then they look." Azalea couldn't believe that the team got captured like this, but for now thought that it was best to go along with it.

They could see some kind of village up in the distance after a long ways of walking. In that time the team was using to get out of their dire situation. Otto began by easily slicing the ropes with his hand saws and quickly freed the others, so that in no time they were ready to once again fight these fish people. They all used their moves (except for Azalea) to assault them back, Chiro also used the Power Primate in order to finish them off. They were taken aback by his power, catching them off guard, which led to their defeat. The fish people retreated back to their village. The team could see more reinforcements on the way, hastily surrounding them. There were even more of them then there were before. About the size of a small army.

The team and the fish people were going to attack one another again, but there was a loud voice that emitted from behind the crowds of fish people.

"STOP!"

Everyone paused and coming up from behind the small army of fish people, was the elder of their tribe. He came forth towards the monkey team and used a cane to help him walk. His white beard was long and was bald on the top of his head.

"Who is your leader?" the elder asked. Chiro came forward a few steps.

"I am."

"I apologize for my tribe to attack you, but lately we've been on the defense more than usual. Do you come in peace?" The monkeys put away their weapons and Chiro replied,

"Yes, we do. You see, we're lost in this galaxy and we need some sort of mineral or metal of some sort from this planet in order to get back home." The elder stroked his beard.

"Yes, I do see. You are talking about the Almcoite are you not? Here, it's a sacred black stone that is found in the caves. We crush it up into a fine dust and use it in our ceremonies and use it in our everyday lives. I would be as generous as to give you some, but unfortunately the Ephrodite's have taken it all from us and our caves that we use to mine it."

"What are these Ephrodite's that you're talking about?" Chiro asked.

"Come to the village first and make yourself at home. I will explain further our situation to you seven." A few of the warriors that were there cut the ropes that were binding their wrists off of them with their spears and they followed their elder to the village.

When they made it to the inside walls of the village it felt more like a small town then anything. There were quite a few fish people doing their daily chores and they lived inside huts. Some were really big, others seemed like they could only fit one person. Azalea could feel the villagers narrow eyes pierce through them as they all walked to the elder's meeting tent.

The seven of them were seated on wooden benches in a big structural tent, made out of sticks, hides of animals and a hole in the roof. A fireplace was built underneath the hole, allowing the smoke for somewhere to escape. They all sat across from the fish people's elder and he began explaining more in detail to them.

"We've been fighting these Ephrodite's for a long time now. They are our sworn enemies. Their giant mosquito like insects that use their long proboscis as a sword and once it implants its proboscis into your skin, it sucks all your blood out of your body until you die. We have lost quite a few great warriors because of them. Because of them we can't get our important Almcoite stones back. So will you help us? If you do we will reward you with all of the Almcoite that you need." The monkey team looked at one another and weren't too sure if they should. At the same time if they don't then they won't be able to get the mineral they need in order to get their teleportation system working again. They all ended up making the decision to do so. Chiro nodded his head.

"Yes, we'll help you elder. Just tell us what you want us to do." The elder bowed to them.

"We are forever grateful, young ones. I'll bring out my son to instruct you what to do. He is excellent at the arts of war. Ivan! We have guests!" Azalea wasn't too sure if she heard him correctly at first. She cocked her head to the side.

"Ivan?" she echoed. Her eyes grew wide. "Wait, don't tell me…" From behind them Ivan came in through the entrance, Azalea's younger brother. He stood there inside of the tent. He was right there in front of her in the flesh, but something was off about him. He wasn't his usual outgoing and happy self like she knew him. His blue eyes were two cold blue stones and he looked at her like she was some kind of stranger. Normally if Ivan would be going nuts to see his favorite cartoon characters were actually real, but…he wasn't. Azalea ignored this at first because she was so delighted to see him that she couldn't express herself at how happy she was. "Ivan!" she exclaimed. She went up to him and embraced him in a big tight hug. Azalea's fear intensified when she heard him say the words,

"Who are you?"
