One week had passed, and it was business as usual that Sunday. Another battle with yet another giant monster.
"LAUNCH MEGA-MISSILES!" Chiro shouted.
The Super Robot fired its missiles, but the beast blocked them.
"Hmm..." noted Gibson. "Impressive target and interception matrixing... Or, as more articulate humans might say, 'whoa'."
"We can't let this thing reach the populated sector!" LJ glared.
"Moving in for close combat!" Chiro added.
The Super Robot then approached the slug/toad-like, tendriled beast.
"Careful, boys; we're in range of its attack." Antauri warned from the readings he was given.
The monster soon began to fight back while the Super Robot began to protect itself with the help of the Robot Monkey Team on the inside. The monster soon jumped up once they barely moved, but still shook a bit. One tendril then wrapped around the Super Robot's neck, nearly strangling it as the metal began to creak. This cued a red alert inside of the Super Robot which was not good for our heroes.
"We have to disengage, LJ!" Lynn cried out. "I know it's risky, but I don't see any other option!"
LJ smashed the button, which split the components of the Super Robot. The parts all went in separate directions, tugging at the monster's tentacles.
"RIP 'IM APART!" Raul shouted.
"Gladly." Lynn narrowed her eyes.
The monster struggled as its tentacles were yanked away like that as the others pulled as hard as they could. Eventually, it roared out of immense pain before exploding into a puff of smoke and the tentacles went flying, making the team scatter freely across the road and air.
"Well, I guess that's the end of that then." Akito remarked.
"And so ends Mouthtor." Otto remarked.
"Really, Otto," Gibson sighed. "Must you give every creature we battle a ridiculous name?"
"I kinda like 'Mouthtor'." Chiro replied.
"I was thinking more 'Tentaculos'," LJ stated. "Regardless, we won again!"
"That, we did." Raul nodded.
The people of Shuggazoom City cheered as the Robot Monkey team came to another battle and won much to their relief and excitement. However, The Skeleton King had big plans for them, but more on that later of course.
And so, the team spent the rest of their afternoon and evening to retire to do whatever they pleased. Chiro and some others played video games.
"You are so going down." Raul smirked as he played with Chiro.
Gibson rolled his eyes. "You could never hover like that on a wing; the aerodynamics are all wrong!" he scoffed. "That is the problem with video games: no practical application."
"Stop bringing real-world logic into a video game." Raul remarked.
"NEW-HIGH-SCORE! NEW-HIGH-SCORE!" announced the console.
"Besides, it's for fun," Chiro added. "K, who's next?"
Raul growled like a tiger as he had lost the game.
"Hey, no offense, but I'm not into kid's stuff." Sparx replied to Chiro.
"Riiiight..." Chiro smirked. "Besides, this is the kind of game not for beginners. You need expert pilot skills."
"Know anyone who would be of service?" Kimberly added teasingly.
"Ooh! Kimmy!" Lynn chuckled. "Someone take Sparx out of the oven, he just got roasted!"
"Gimme the controls!" Sparx scoffed as he took the controls away from Chiro and Raul.
"We're behind schedule, Team," Antauri reported as he slid down the tube and stepped out into the room. "We need to prepare for patrol."
"But the scanner shows all clear." Chiro retorted as he played against Sparx.
"We have a responsibility to Shuggazoom," said Antauri. "At all times."
Chiro paused the game. "Well, sometimes I wish the city could take care of itself. I mean, do we have to do everything?" he asked.
"It's like they can't even wipe their butts without our help!" LJ added.
"Maybe we need some kinda Automatic Defense System or something like that." Chrissy shrugged.
"Far easier said than done," Gibson remarked. "A truly impenetrable defense system would be extremely difficult to produce."
"Ugh... Blah, blah, blah..." Chiro groaned.
"I'm sure if we had the technology, we could do it," Akito insisted. "This old friend of mine, Tech E. Coyote? He was a tech genius and he always knew how to make whatever he wanted, no matter how impossible!"
"Otto could probably make it." LJ shrugged.
"Let's go see then!" Akito replied. "I think this would be a great idea for all of us."
Otto was busy welding something in his pod.
"Ahem?!" Gibson cleared his throat sharply to the Green Monkey to get his attention.
Otto soon came out for a brief moment before going back inside of the pod.
"Otto?" Kimberly called.
"Just a few more seconds!" Otto called back.
"What is that Green Bean up to now?" Lynn rolled her eyes.
"Making the defense system." LJ smirked.
Otto came out with a black panel that scanned Gibson. "THREAT LEVEL, ZERO." it announced.
"Y-Yes..." Gibson stated. "Well, protecting an entire city would demand monumental advances in troposphere technology."
"Like a big bubble?" Otto grinned.
"Otto, please!" Gibson scoffed before a bubble was suddenly shown coming out from the black panel. "That is simply an oversimplification infinitely-"
The bubble soon hovered up and high into the air with the Blue Monkey inside.
"Well, so much for that." Lynn teased Gibson.
"Invention..." Gibson sighed in defeat as he floated. "Hmph... Impressive."
"It seems very unwise to trust our duties to a machine." Antauri warned the others.
"But you guys are part machine, and the Super Robot is one big machine." Kimberly replied.
"A defense system built by the mechanical wizard, Otto, and based on the genius design of Gibson," added Chiro. "What could go wrong?"
"Absolutely nothing," Gibson answered. "Now, how about releasing me?"
Otto closed the device and the bubble popped, with Gibson falling on his face. The others winced at that slightly.
"Are you okay, Gibson?" Kimberly asked in concern.
"I could be better, my dear." Gibson muffled and groaned.
Later on, everyone decided to go into Hero Mode and once they were ready, they flew into Shuggazoom City to fulfill their tasks and duties as the city's saviors and to test out the defense system.
"Super Structures completed, the weapon rays are armed; The Threat Identifier has been activated." Gibson reported to the others.
"Threat detected!" The black panel announced, flashing red around Gibson.
"I'm no threat!" Gibson then glared.
"Doomsday Beam charging." The black panel then alerted.
"Uh... How do you turn this thing off?" Chiro asked.
The device scanned the others. "Multiple threats detected."
Suddenly, rockets began to shoot out of the system, and the group stood ready to defend.
Luckily, Otto turned up with a smaller model of the defense system. "Hey, it worked!" he smiled. "Just testing it."
Otto pressed a button and the rockets returned to their posts in the stem.
"System Deactivated." The panel soon said.
The others then sighed and groaned in strong relief.
"See? Not a problem." Chiro smiled innocently.
"So far so good." Akito added and nodded.
Soon, they left back into the Super Robot and retired to leisure activities. Chiro was playing his video game with Sparx, Otto, and Nova.
"LJ, can I show you something?" Kimberly asked as she came over to the boy she liked. "I just hope it's not silly."
"Sure, Kim, what's up?" LJ asked as he walked with her.
"I drew something for you, I just hope that I did this right and even if you don't like it, don't judge it too badly," Kimberly then said nervously. "I was thinking of showing my friends The Kaitlyns back home for our next Unicorn Club meeting."
"Alright, let's have a look at what you have here!" LJ replied.
Kimberly smiled bashfully and soon took out what looked like a crayon drawing of a Transformer with wings like a pegasus and a horn like an Alicorn, almost looking like Princess Celestia from Equestria. "I know it's 'Unicron', not 'Unicorn', but I couldn't help it," she then said. "I had a dream about it last night and I just sorta ran with it."
"Okay, that is actually pretty clever!" LJ replied. "Could probably be your mech, like your battle vehicle in the toyline that'd probably be released after Season 1 ends!"
"You really think so?" Kimberly asked while blushing.
"I know so!" LJ replied confidently. "I could probably build it sometime!"
"Oh, well, thanks," Kimberly smiled. "I was sure that you'd love it."
"No problem!" LJ replied with a thumbs-up and a wink.
Kimberly giggled and smiled warmly in excitement and hugged him since he approved. Suddenly, an alarm was heard which startled them.
"No, Mrs. Gibbons, I promise we weren't touching inappropriately!" Kimberly yelped, feeling a reflex from school as she suddenly let go of LJ.
"It's okay, Kim, it's just the alarm system." LJ reassured her.
"Warning! Threat Detected!" The new Shuggazoom City defense system blared.
"What is that?" Chiro asked, looking at the screen.
"A hostile, fruitlike vessel is invading Shuggarzoom airspace." Gibson informed the others.
"How about we give the defense system a try?" suggested Chrissy.
Everyone looked at Otto, since he had the remote control. "That's what it's for, right?" he smiled.
"Some fruit vessel... I wonder what that means?" Kimberly commented.
Suddenly, a brown coconut with arms and legs with a weird smile on his face appeared, looking like a hyperactive and more scary version of SpongeBob Squarepants. "YAAAAY, ME!~" he then cheered.
"Get out of here, you waste of a good talent!" Chrissy glared as she kicked the coconut out the window and he fell so hard that he cracked open on the pavement and his milk leaked out.
"Aaaaaaanyways, let's see what the Defense System is capable of!" LJ declared.
"Still, some space fruit?" Chrissy asked. "Hopefully it's not a pineapple."
"Multiple Threats detected." The Defense System warned from the screen as something hurdled towards the Earth.
The missiles soon shot out from the stem and they attacked and exploded the growths that morphed off of the space fruit.
"That's what I'm talkin' about." Chiro smirked at the Robot Monkeys.
The space fruit then turned around as some sort of vacuum came out from it and began to suck up all around the oxygen.
"Nothing to worry about, right?" Akito asked the others.
"Doomsday Beam charging." The Defense System droned before a gun came out and instantly shot a beam of light right at the space fruit.
And at that, the fruit was exploded in an instant and pieces rained down through the skies into the city of Shuggazoom.
"Multiple Threats detected." The Defense System soon warned.
"...Okay, this might be a problem." Raul remarked.
"Otto, raise shields!" LJ told the green monkey.
Otto pressed some buttons, and a bubble shield formed around the city. While most were disintegrated, one piece managed to slip through before the shield was fully raised.
"Looks like Glinda's bubble from The Wizard of Oz." Chrissy commented.
"Yeah, kinda." Kimberly nodded in agreement.
"Threats destroyed." The Defense System droned after the bubble shield protected the city from anything on the outside.
"I must admit, I am impressed." Antauri remarked.
However, one lone piece of fruit soon shot through the sky and ended up in the water under the city bridge that no one seemed to notice or see. When the fruit hit the bottom of the sea, a crab tried to pinch at it... Only to be instantly mutated from the fruit. There were also bats shown as a mother bat fed her babies some of the fruit and it began to mutate as well. Needless to say, Shuggazoom City was in need of some serious pest control and there was only one team for the job who could fix and repair the situation. However, said team wasn't fully aware of the situation; they were busy with Chiro's video game.
"And I'm saying you can't wrangle a ZipperBat with an ion lasso." Sparx told Nova.
"I can and I will, Sparky." Nova replied.
Sparx turned to Nova with a flat expression. "Don't... Call me that."
The others chuckled as they began to sense something between Sparx and Nova, but decided not to say anything yet.
"That's pretty funny." Lynn chuckled.
"Uh, no, it's not." Sparx replied.
"It's kinda funny." Akito smirked.
"Can we just play?" Otto whined childishly.
Antauri soon held out his hand and suddenly, the video game screen switched off, ending the game against the groups' will.
"What happened?" Chiro complained before they saw the Black Monkey.
"Perhaps it's time for a break?" Antauri suggested. "A trip to the city would do us some good."
"But it was just getting good!" Lynn groaned. "Come on! Let's play longer!"
"Lynn...?" Antauri called sternly.
"Oh, fine," Lynn rolled her eyes with a scoff. "I guess you can't be worse than my sister Lori whenever she has to babysit me and my brother and sisters."
"I don't think I want to know." Antauri muttered.
And so, the Hyperforce were out on the town... Namely, at an arcade.
"I've often wondered if Chiro's human preoccupation for such frivolous play would spread to the others." Antauri spoke to Gibson. "Of course, I realize that your scientific mind would never bother with such trivialities."
Said blue monkey's attention was focused on Chiro, playing the arcade version of the video game he was playing at home. "That's right..." he replied as he stepped up to take the controls. "You're going DOWN, zephyr bat! Alright, mysticrawler: prepare to be lasso'd!"
Chiro smirked as he and Gibson competed against each other. Suddenly, an alarm sounded from outside the arcade.
"Oh, come on!" Akito complained. "Now what is it?"
"That's the Major Threat Alarm!" Nova cried out.
"The Super Robot's scanners have detected Multiple Threats inside the city perimeter." Antauri reported as he did a quick reading.
"No way!" Chiro gasped. "The Defense System should've taken care of them."
"Perhaps there's been a minor malfunction," Gibson said as he checked his scanner. "Great Caeser's Ghost! We have a triple threat crisis on our hands!"
"That is one major malfunction." Sparx remarked.
"And there they are," Chrissy said as she pointed out the red, yellow, and blue dots on Gibson's screen. "Those dot thingies have it."
Gibson checked the radar. "One is assaulting the promenade; another in the park, and the third, downtown!"
"So let's split up and get 'em!" Chiro declared. "HYPERFORCE, GO!"
The crab mutant was soon shown downtown, clawing at many buildings and billboards.
"Man, and people say I'm a little crabby." Chrissy commented from where she stood.
"I dunno how you got in here, but we're takin' you out." Chiro glared bravely at the crab mutant.
The beast roared and the trio screamed in terror as they were knocked back into a wall.
MEANWHILE...
The bat mutant was wreaking havoc at the fountain when Sparx, Nova, and Raul showed up to stop it.
"Whoa!" Sparx exclaimed. "Easy there, birdy."
The bat mutant snarled viciously.
"BOOM-BOOM-" Nova began until she suddenly lost her nerve as she hovered with Sparx and Raul. "Uh, oops."
The bat mutant snarled and soon bit down and caught the Robot Monkeys by their tails and threw them down to the ground.
"Oh, no you didn't! Nobody does that to MY friends!" Raul glared before he reached down and tossed his belt buckle, snarling and roaring as he became Turbo Tigre and he smiled while lashing out his claws. "All right... You wanna dance? Let's dance, Bat Boy!"
Elsewhere, Gibson, Antauri, Lynn, and LJ were dealing with the third mutant.
"Prepare to attack!" Antauri ordered.
"Locked and loaded, boss bot!" LJ replied before the beast shot some sort of goop at them.
"Then again, we might be in trouble." Lynn added.
Chiro, Otto, and Chrissy were now trapped between the jaws of the crab creature.
"Otto... The defense system!" Chiro grunted. "Can you reverse it?"
"Turn it towards the city!" Chrissy added.
"I'll try!" Otto strained as he took out the panel button and pushed one of them.
"Multiple Threats detected!" The defense system alerted as several weapons came out from its stem.
Missiles soon shot out as Otto, Chrissy, and Chiro struggled to get free until they saw the missiles coming for them and the crab monster. The crab monster was then instantly shot down and the three were soon free.
"Ugh... I think I broke a nail." Chrissy groaned as she sat up and checked her hands.
"Better a nail than a bone!" Chiro grunted.
A bubble grew out from the system and surrounded the crab monster, trapping it.
In the park, Sparx, Raul, and Nova were still dealing with the bat mutant, before it was also trapped within a bubble prison of its own, after being peppered with missiles. And finally, the third mutant was captured in another bubble.
"There, you see?" asked Gibson. "It all worked out rather well! Except for this... Big... Puddle of goo. Dis-gusting!" he winced.
"I think we're gonna need showers." LJ remarked.
"I definitely will unless we come home and see that a Royal Woods Jellyfish game is playin'," Lynn added. "I have my game traditions."
The others rolled their eyes slightly.
And so, they went back to the Super Robot to wash off the stench and stickiness of crime-fighting, though not doing so well today.
"This Defense System just isn't working out," Raul said dramatically as he looked out the window with his hands behind his back. "I'm sorry, Chiro, but we need to get rid of that thing."
"But it worked so well!" Chiro protested.
"But we did not," replied Antauri. "We relied on it and lost our edge."
"In other words, we got lazy and thought it would handle everything." said Raul.
"So it's agreed," Akito soon said. "We're all in favor of dismantling that thing."
"Mm-hmm." Chiro nodded lowly.
"Otto?" Antauri then called to the Green Monkey.
Otto nodded and soon pushed the button which deactivated the protective bubble over Shuggazoom City.
"At least we captured those monsters for Gibson to analyze." Chiro then said to the others.
Outside, Gibson was inspecting the three creatures. "Let's see... First, we'll merge you into one simple package..." he muttered, pushing a button on the remote to merge the prison bubbles.
The creatures all roared and struggled wildly.
"Yes, definitely hostile creations..." Gibson noted. "Severely lacking in co-habitation skills... Eh! Careful in there, you!"
Suddenly, the bat head burst out of the bubble, but now it had wings and a body! Somehow, the three mutants had merged!
"IMPOSSIBLE!" The Blue Monkey gasped out of fright.
The massive mutant soon arched out its wings and began to fly off of the ground. Now the people of Shuggazoom City had something new to be afraid of as they ran away at the sight of the flying bat/crab/plant hybrid.
AND SO, BACK AT HQ...
"So you see, the three creatures were designed to infiltrate, combine, and destroy," Gibson explained to the team. "Skeleton King played us for fools!"
"Time for some payback, Otto!" Chiro declared.
Otto nodded. "Defense system to the rescue!" he replied as he activated the protective bubble around the city.
"I'm learning a lot today," Akito sighed. "Sometimes security is a team effort than just relying on a machine to solve all of your problems."
"Same." Lynn nodded in agreement.
LJ smiled. "Good on you for that!"
The beast screeched as it flew around the city, trying to break free.
"THREAT DETECTED." said the defense system as it began firing every single weapon in its arsenal.
But this creature, this... Flytor, if you will, simply used its sonic sonar powers to ward off the attacks. It bobbed and weaved in the air to avoid the other missiles, as Chiro and the others watched on the viewer screen.
"Wow," said Sparx. "That thing's got some moves!"
"Don't compliment it." Raul advised.
Flytor swooped around the Defense System's pole, before it fired an echo blast at it, which caused the tower to spark with energy.
"...Okay, I've seen enough cartoons to know that's never good." LJ winced.
"It appears to be blind," Antauri remarked. "Guided by some sort of sonar."
"We're gonna need more than the defense system to take it down." Chiro narrowed his eyes.
"All right then," Akito said before calling out. "Monkeys Mobilize!"
"You're not the team leader." Lynn narrowed her eyes.
Akito just shrugged and crossed his arms. "Let's just go," he then said. "Shuggazoom City won't be here for long if we just argue."
"Leave it to the ones who are in charge!" LJ replied before he and Chiro yelled "MONKEYS, MOBILIZE!"
"Hmph." Akito pouted, but didn't make a big fuss over it.
And so, they took off and went up the tubes as it was time for the Super Robot Monkey Team to save the day.
Flytor continued to fly about overhead of Shuggazoom City while dodging the missiles and making life a whole lot harder on the poor citizens from down below.
"The bubble is keeping us from attack altitude," Chiro warned the others. "So we're going in low and fast."
"Sounds like a plan!" LJ agreed as the Super Robot flew lower.
However, it was spotted by the reprogrammed Defense Tower. "SECONDARY THREAT DETECTED."
"WHAT?!" Chiro exclaimed.
Suddenly, the Super Robot was beset by a bevy of missiles.
"Otto! 86 the defense tower!" LJ ordered.
"The remote's not working!" Otto cried out.
"Of course it isn't." Chrissy face-palmed.
"The monster's sonic blast has damaged the Defense Diamond's central control sensors." Gibson reported.
"Sure... Why make it easy?" Chiro replied dryly as he sweat-dropped.
The missiles soon shot right at the Super Robot, hitting it instantly and knocking it off course. Flytor soon flew right after the Super Robot and shot more super sonic waves right at it while in flight. The Super Robot sparked with electricity as LJ and Chiro screamed in pain while the robot tumbled end over end as it crashed to the ground.
"SECONDARY THREAT DESTROYED." said the Defense Tower.
Flytor soon flew on in and suddenly crashed into the Defense Tower. The Super Robot's torso hatch opened up and the team soon came on out and hovered out to safety.
"Guys? I might be wrong, but I think our security system has been destroyed." Raul said to the others.
The others looked on to see that Raul appeared to be right as the Defense Tower soon fell off its former stand and soon fell into the water below the Shuggazoom City's bridge.
"My Defense System!" Gibson cried.
"At least the bubble's still up." Otto commented.
"Now we're trapped in here with this thing!" Sparx yelped.
"Wrong, it's trapped in here with us!" LJ declared.
"Yeah!" Chiro added. "Let's pry this back goo crab monster!"
"That's quite a name." Lynn commented.
"Whatever!" Chiro replied. "Hyperforce, GO!"
Flytor soon flew off at rapid speed before looking behind to see that he had some company right on his tail.
"Hey, ugly!" Nova smirked.
Flytor snarled and soon shot a sonic wave right at the Hyperforce and sent them flying back.
"Yeah!" Chiro added. "Let's fry this bat-goo-crab monster!"
"That's quite a name." Lynn commented.
"Whatever!" Chiro replied. "Hyperforce, GO!"
Flytor soon flew off at rapid speed before looking behind to see that he had some company right on his tail.
"Hey, ugly!" Nova smirked.
Flytor snarled and soon shot a sonic wave right at the Hyperforce and sent them flying back.
"Monkey Team, split-threat triple attack!" LJ ordered. "Go!"
And so the group split up, with Sparx, Antauri and Akito attacking from behind.
"MAGNO-TINGLER BLAST!" Sparx shouted, firing his energy ball from his magnet-hands.
"CLAW DISRUPTOR!" Antauri slashed Flytor on one of the wings.
"LASER EYES!" Akito added as he shot laser eyes while he jumped in the air.
Flytor snarled and soon got behind the three next and chased them while in the air.
"Come and get it!" Akito called mockingly.
Otto, Nova, and Kimberly were coming in from behind then.
"MONKEY RAINBOW MISSILE!" The three called out as they attacked next.
Kimberly shot out a rainbow whip as Nova lunged out and punched Flytor right in the face.
LJ and Chiro both flew in, ready to deliver a fierce dual-punch when Flytor spawned a 3rd eye from its forehead, which made some sort of scan of the both of them.
"Wh-What the... It's scanning us...?!" LJ questioned.
Luckily, Otto knocked them both out of its range. As the others came to check on them, Flytor lunged and gobbled them up.
"No!" Chiro exclaimed.
"Ugh, that's pretty gruesome." LJ groaned for their friends.
Flytor soon swooped right down, startling Chiro, LJ, and Otto as they screamed. Then suddenly, the villainous mutant crashed against the roof they were on and flew out, though they stuck themselves to the bat wings and the rooted leg so that they wouldn't be eaten alive next. Chiro and LJ nearly slid off of the wings while Otto screamed and clung to the creature's leg.
"We'll force it down," Chiro decided. "Otto, free the others!"
Otto nodded, and began climbing further down, but the three had to hang on for their lives as Flytor kept trying to shake them loose.
"THUNDER PUNCH!" LJ exclaimed as he and Chiro delivered a punch to the left wing. Flytor tried to bite down on them, but bit its own wing instead.
However, this bite had punctured a hole, so Chiro managed to punch the left wing off, but he fell to the ground with it.
"CHIRO...!" yelled LJ as his friend fell. "OTTO, TIME TO PLAY SURGEON!"
"Right!" Otto nodded as he got out his saw hand and cut through Flytor's stomach, and the others all fell out, covered with a thin layer of viscous slime.
The group screamed as they were close to falling in the air until Chiro and LJ swooped in on one of Flytor's wings and allowed them to land on the creature's back so that they wouldn't have an even messier situation than before.
"Eww... I'm gonna need a bath after this." Chrissy groaned.
"Better make it three." Kimberly added.
"Yech!" Lynn shuddered as even she felt disgusted.
"Nice timin', huh?" Chiro smirked back at the others.
"And it looks like Team Flytor is blasting off again." Akito said as he pointed to the distance as the last of Flytor soon exploded, never to be seen or heard from ever again.
"Has a nice ring to it," Gibson smiled. "...'Flytor'..."
LATER AT HQ...
Chiro and the others were once again playing video games.
"Well, you guys, all's well that ends well." Kimberly smiled.
"For sure." Chrissy added.
"Oh, yeah!" Chiro smirked as he bashed the controllers.
"Gotcha now!" Nova added.
"Watch it!" Otto called out.
"Watch it." Sparx warned.
Antauri cleared his throat. "Time for patrol. Everyone ready?" he asked.
"Later, we're kinda busy." Chiro said as he was playing his video games.
"Kinda busy..." Antauri scoffed as he phased his hand through the screen to disable the video reception.
"Joke! It was a joke!" Chiro said sheepishly. "C'mon, Monkey Team! We got a job t'do!"
"Indeed!" LJ agreed. "Time to put the pedal to the metal!"
However, today's adventure was a lot different than what they expected and there was more to it than there appeared to be.
Everyone then got ready for another misadventure as LJ had a quick call, but promised to call back later.
"Listen, Zo, I'm glad you and Richard are spending more time together, but can I call you back later?" LJ asked on his phone. "I gotta get going right now."
"Sure, I understand," Zofia replied. "It's almost time for 'Happily Ever After' anyway."
LJ rolled his eyes. "Alright, catch you later." he smirked as he hung up.
Zofia chuckled as she soon sat on the couch back home to watch her new favorite show.
"Sorry about that, I had a little bit of a delay." LJ said as he came back to the Robot Monkeys.
"Just try not to let it happen again." Antauri replied.
"Roger-dodger, can do." LJ replied. "Time to roll out!"
BACK ON THE CITADEL OF BONE...
"Perfect..." the Skeleton King grinned. "Let the fools savor a false triumph, ignorant of the true victor of this conflict..." He took Flytor's third eye, which his TV Robo had recovered, and projected the scanned images of LJ and Chiro. "Hello, children..." he snickered. "Now let's find out what makes you so special..." he cackled.
This was going to be interesting for sure, but of course, more on that later. It was now time for the Hyperforce to get to work and save the city from certain doom. Yet again. The only question was who was the villain this time?
