"So, what should we do?" Sonata smiled as she brought out a bag. "I've brought some games over if anyone's interested... There's Clue... Monopoly... The Game of Life... Mouse Trap..."
"Got any video games?" Lynn asked.
"Those cause violence." Sonata pouted.
"That theory has been disproven on seven occasions." Chiro pointed out.
"Well... If you really want to, we could play a very exciting game that has kings, queens, spades, and clubs!" Sonata smiled.
"Yeah?" The group asked in excitement.
"I present you... The world of Solitaire!" Sonata announced as she took out a 52 deck of cards.
The group sweat-dropped at that.
"Or video games..." Sonata then pouted in defeat.
"Also, I dunno if we know how to play Solitaire," LJ replied. "Gibson probably does, but still."
"Hmph..." Sonata pouted.
Adagio soon began to play video games with the kids as they hung out a bit as Sonata tried to play with her cards and Aria was watching the others.
"So, what do you do for fun around here?" Aria asked. "It's kinda boring around here... No offense, Chris."
"Ever see a Hyper Boost Warp Tunnel?" Sparx smirked.
"Not really," LJ replied. "What's, um... That?"
"Maybe we should find out," Sparx smirked. "Make things a little more interesting."
"I'd kill for anything interesting," Aria replied. "Again, no offense, Chris. I'm sure you're having fun here, but I'm not right now."
"Aunt Aria was always the moody type." Chrissy said to the others.
"Heh... I get that way too sometimes." Lynn replied.
"Ya don't say!" Chrissy said with a sarcastic grin.
"All right, let's check this out," Chiro replied. "Let's take the Super Robot for a drive."
"Buckle up, gang, we're going for a ride!" LJ announced as he got to his cockpit.
"Yeah!" The others cheered.
Sparx smirked as he nodded at the other Robot Monkeys.
Soon, everyone got comfortable together and the Super Robot began to leave Shuggazoom City to do some special traveling outside of the city.
"Are we going into outer space?" Sonata gasped.
"I don't know about that, but at least it won't be boring." Akito remarked.
"We might, so hang on tight!" Raul whooped.
The Super Robot then got ready to launch and soon took off.
"Ya know, Hyper Boost Warp Tunnels might not be scenic, but they do get you across the galaxy fast." Chiro remarked as they took a look from a window to the outside.
"So we're traveling across the galaxy now?" Sonata asked. "Fascinating."
"I guess we're now The Dazzlings in Space." Adagio smirked as she watched with her.
"Maybe we'll see a Martian." Aria smirked back.
"Not before I kick Nova's butt." Sparx said as he and Nova were playing a video game.
"Dream on, Sparx!" Nova retorted.
"I too calculate victory in less than six moves." Gibson said as he played Chess with Antauri.
"Perhaps you too are dreaming, Gibson." Antauri smirked as he made his move.
Otto soon slid down and began to disable part of Gibson from the ceiling.
"Whoa! Hey! Otto!" Lynn called out. "What're you doing?!"
"That's what I'd like to know!" Gibson added sharply.
"Upgrading your com's long-distance capabilities," Otto smiled as he jumped back down and put the piece back after a few moments. "All done!"
Gibson let out a yelp as his left ear suddenly became a satellite dish and its weight made him topple over.
"Probably should've considered counter-balance for the extra weight," Otto remarked. "...Who else wants one?"
The others glanced at each other with sheepish grins.
"Oh, yes! They're lining up, Otto," Gibson smirked once he stood back up before falling on the floor again. "A little help, please?"
Akito soon helped Otto back up to his feet with a small smile. An alarm was soon blaring.
"What is that?" Raul asked.
"We got a hostile! And it's coming up fast!" Nova warned.
"An attacker on Hyper Boost Speeds? Impossible!" Gibson remarked.
"It's The Citadel of Bone!" LJ exclaimed. "And with the Citadel, there is Skeleton King! Now's our chance to blast that bothersome bonehead out of the galaxy!"
"Right!" The others added.
The Citadel soon attacked first and shot the Super Robot instantly right on target.
"Monkeys, Mobilize!" Chiro and LJ soon proclaimed together.
"Watch this." Chrissy told her aunts before she went off with the Robot Monkeys.
The three proceeded to watch as the Super Robot fired off a barrage of missiles, which Skeleton King reflected with an energy blast that sent them sprawling through the Warp Tunnel.
"Aw, daaaaaaaang iiiiiiiiiit!" LJ shouted as they were sent flying.
"Okay, this is not what I thought would happen!" Chrissy cried out.
"Chrissy, what is that?!" Sonata called out in concern.
"We have a system overload!" Chrissy yelped. "Guys, do something!"
"Hang on, dudes and dudettes!" LJ replied. "We're gonna make an unexpected landing!"
"I don't know why, but I already don't like this." Akito said as they held on tight as they started yet another brand new adventure.
"I always figured it'd be a few days before another new mission," LJ stated, as he tried to pull the Super Robot upward. "But I can stand to be mistaken sometimes...!"
"We're accelerating too fast!" Chiro cried out.
"We're losing structural integrity!" Gibson warned.
"The robot won't take much more, guys!" Sparx added.
"Could we maybe go further into a hyper boost?!" Adagio suggested.
"Hyper Boost, jettison!" LJ shouted, pulling a lever.
The boosters detached and hit the Skeleton King's ship head-on.
"Yes! See you in Hell, Bone Face!" LJ whooped as he saw the explosion before it hurled them out of the warp tunnel.
They were then in the deep, black, and empty vacuums of space from the impact.
"I think we got 'em, guys!" Otto told the others.
"I don't know, that guy's got more lives than a Creeptonian zombie." Chiro replied.
"...What?" Adagio asked, feeling confused and baffled from Chiro's analogy.
"Let's just go home." Chiro suggested.
The Super Robot then took off and went to send them straight back to Shuggazoom City.
"Well, Chrissy, this was interesting so far," Adagio said to the girl. "At least you're not getting hurt."
"Cuz if you get hurt, OTHER PEOPLE SURE AS HELL WILL." Aria added as she nearly looked like she had actual fire in her eyes.
Suddenly, the Super Robot jostled due to turbulence.
"Anybody else feel that?" asked Kimberly as they landed.
"Wherever we are... There are pieces of it everywhere!" Nova noted.
"Hm... Look..." Sparx said as he pointed up.
Everyone else soon looked up to see another Super Robot in place, though it was missing the arms.
"It's a statue of the Super Robot... But who built it?" Akito wondered.
"I guess the same ones who built that?" Lynn replied as she pointed to statues of the Robot Monkeys.
The group soon stepped out and began to explore.
"It looks and feels like Shuggazoom City, but at the same time, it doesn't." Raul commented.
"This might be trouble," LJ noted.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. "Who has desecrated the memorial of the Redeemers?" it asked as a group of massive robot apes arrived. "He shall pay!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey! We don't want any trouble!" Lynn gasped.
"STOP!" A voice soon called from behind.
The robot apes soon turned around to see that they had some sort of new company. The robot apes then stepped aside as someone came to see them.
"Who could that be?" Akito wondered to himself.
It was a blue robotic primate dressed in a pope hat and cape. "You fools! It is they. Do you not recognize them?" he asked. "Forgive us, please," he said, bowing before he turned to the other robot apes, "Down, you fools. Bow to the Redeemers!"
The other robotic apes bowed.
"Redeemers?" Chiro repeated. "We're the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce."
"Go!" Otto shouted on instinct.
The others glanced at him for that.
"...What?" Otto shrugged.
"Oh, yes! Yes, you are!" The civilized primate replied. "And you're they're allies!"
"That's us," Akito nodded. "So who are you?"
"I am Robo-Ape Alpha," The primate informed as he bowed loyally. "Allow me to be the first to welcome you home to Shuggazoom City."
"Shuggazoom?" Chiro asked out of confusion. "This isn't Shuggazoom."
"Well, it kinda looks like Shuggazoom." Otto remarked.
"But of course it does!" exclaimed Alpha. "All will be revealed. Come!"
AND SO...
As the group were riding on a hover cruiser, R.A.A. told the tale. "'And yea, the battle seemed lost, when the Hyperforce did smite the Citadel of Bone with fiery fury! And thoroughly was the Skeleton King vanquished, once and for all time'," Alpha read from a holographic storybook. "That day was remembered as the first Monkey Eve. And you have come back to us. To the day, two million years later!"
"2,000,000 years?!" LJ exclaimed. "Did we somehow get shot into some sorta time warp?!"
"2,000,000 years? But that just happened!" Chiro added.
"Unless of course the robot's engine overload caused the time-space-warp-displacement." Gibson spoke up intelligibly as always.
"Oh, that explains it, Dr. Brain Strain." Raul rolled his eyes with Sparx.
"I guess we're not in Kansas anymore." Lynn shrugged and snorted.
"So we Hyper Boosted into the future?" Sonata asked.
"Duh!" Aria and Adagio rolled their eyes.
"Robo-Apes, hear me!" Alpha announced. "The Redeemers have returned!"
A massive cheer went up among the crowd of robo-apes.
"I guess McFist Industries had to sell off their workers..." LJ remarked, looking down.
"We're back!" Otto shouted, hooting, before Antauri silenced him with a glare.
Drums were soon pounded as the robo-apes soon engaged themselves in a ceremonial dance to show the Hyperforce team.
"I kinda like this..." Lynn smirked. "I guess we're famous too. I always wanted to be famous."
"You live in a house with one boy and 10 girls, I think you're pretty famous where you live." Kimberly replied.
"Details. Details." Lynn rolled her eyes.
"Okay... So we are in the future," Chiro said to the others as Otto seemed to be the only one enjoying the dance. "Shouldn't we try to get back?"
"Why? This place is a Robo-Ape Paradise!" Otto replied. "Skeleton King is gone, everyone lives in peace, for the first time... We fit in!" he then listed before jumping down and joined one of the robo-apes in the dance.
"Not all of us..." Chiro said sadly.
"It is strange. I mean, what's with all the bananas?" asked Sparx, gesturing to the large plates full of bananas. "We don't even eat bananas!"
"And these apes are like too friendly." Nova added, as she and her siblings were grabbed by two Robo-Apes, and forced to dance along with them.
"MONKEY-EVE-IS-HERE-A-GAIN, PEACE-TO-ALL-ON-MONKEY-EVE!" The robo-apes chanted as they danced.
"It's like Michael Jackson's Thriller, but worse... So... So much worse..." Chrissy grimaced.
"So, uh, anything in that book about us?" Kimberly asked as she approached their host.
"Of course!" Alpha replied as he looked into his text. "And upon their many adventures."
"Like what?" Akito asked.
"The Monkey Team did bring along their lovable pets: Chango and the rest whose names are unimportant." Alpha replied as the book soon showed pet dog versions of Chiro and the others in their battle suits, though not exactly close.
"Chango?! Aw, man..." Chiro groaned.
"Hey! That's not us!" Lynn glared. "How come we got crapped on?!"
"Because history is unkind." LJ remarked angrily as he and the others went off to blow off steam.
"It sure can be." A bespectacled boy with short ginger hair in a short-sleeved blue shirt, black shorts, and red and white sneakers remarked before disappearing suddenly.
"Well... That was random." Akito shrugged.
"Who was that?" Kimberly asked.
"Aw, who cares? He's not important." Chrissy rolled her eyes.
The kids soon decided to head back to the Super Robot, looking and feeling a bit dejected.
"Oh, Shuggazoom, what did they do to you?" Chiro groaned as he fell to his knees and held his head in frustration and agitation. "THEY APED YOU UP!" he then cried out as he slammed his fists against the ground before it began to crumble and crack.
"Whoa! Chill out, man!" Raul warned Chiro.
"He can't help it," LJ shrugged. "His world is completely altered."
"Darn you! Darn you all to heck!" Kimberly added.
"Wait a minute..." LJ exclaimed. "Look at the statues! They have one of Mandarin. OF MANDARIN!"
"MANDARIN?!" The group gasped in surprise.
"This can't be right..." Akito said with wide eyes. "Why would they have this?"
"Using my deductive reasoning, I can affirm that if they would choose to honor Mandarin, knowing what he did..." LJ replied. "Then this is NOT really Future Shuggazoom! It's fake!"
"Of course! It's a farce!" Akito added.
Lynn snickered suddenly.
"What?" Akito glared.
"That's a funny word." Lynn chuckled.
Akito rolled his eyes at her immaturity.
"Enough games," Chrissy said. "Let's do some detective/hero work, even if we are pushed to the sidelines away from the Monkey Team in the future."
"Future, nothing!" LJ remarked. "This is phony! Not to mention 1, those buildings were just a display like in Blazing Saddles, and 2, those Robo-Apes are messing with the Super Robot! GET AWAY FROM THE ROBOT, YOU STUPID CYBERNETIC SIMIANS!"
The Robo-Apes soon turned around and looked provoked.
"You wanna dance? Let's dance!" Lynn challenged aggressively.
"You are in an unauthorized area, Chengo and unimportant ones," said a Robo-Ape. "You must leave! We have orders."
"Orders from who?" asked LJ. "What's going on here?"
The Robo-Apes soon ran over to ambush and tackle the group.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Akito glared as he got ready to fight back. "I'm not scared of you! One of my best friends is a 600-pound Tasmanian Devil! ...Okay, that weight might be an exaggeration, but the point is, it'll take more than a mere dogpile to keep Akito Fudo down!"
The Robo-Apes then suddenly jumped and tackled the group down to the ground.
"You were saying...?" LJ groaned as he and the others woke up inside of a jail cell.
"I don't get it," Akito said. "I'm strong like a god like my dad. How did I get taken down so easily?"
"Ease up on that god strength bragging," Chrissy told him. "Just because you're strong doesn't mean you can't be knocked down every once in a while."
"Yeah, didn't you just say you sometimes wrestle with a giant Tasmanian Devil?" Lynn added.
"All right, all right, I'm sorry," Akito said, crossing his arms. "It just surprises me sometimes..."
"As good as you get, there's ALWAYS gonna be someone who catches you off your guard!" LJ explained. "Besides, if your godly strength DID actually work in combat here, every fight would be boring!"
"Yeah!" The others replied.
"Sorry..." Akito said softly. "Now how should we get out of this jam?"
Chiro tried to kick the bars down, only to get suddenly electrocuted.
"Somehow, I saw that coming." Akito said.
A Robo-Ape stepped up to the cell and looked at them.
"What have you done with the Monkey Team?" Chiro glared at him. "If you harm-"
"No harm will come to them," The Robo-Ape interrupted. "We worship the Monkey Team."
Something on his chest soon began to flicker and flash.
"I must return to my post." The Robo-Ape soon said before stomping away from the prison.
"That guy was being controlled," LJ noticed. "I saw something on his chest blinking."
"We can handle that after we get outta here." Chiro replied as he spotted a part on one of the walls.
"Is that a way out?" Kimberly wondered.
"Hopefully." Chiro said with a determined smile.
The Robo-Ape soon walked off before turning around as there was an explosion with green smoke as Chiro and the others made it out. "Chengo..." he then said, grabbing the boy's shoulder.
"My name's Chiro! Now get your greasy paws off us, you darn, dirty, Robo-Ape!" Chiro glared at him before punching him away instantly.
The Robo-Ape soon began to short-circuit a bit after getting hit instantly.
"Okay. That'll work." Chiro then nodded.
More Robo-Apes were coming towards them, so LJ slung Highwire like a boomerang, and knocked each of them over before Highwire returned to his grasp. As Chiro and the others left, the yellow Robo-Ape picked up the chip on his chest and inspected it curiously.
Later, the group began to climb up a wall and Akito even climbed with them so he wouldn't be unfair to the others if he just flew, plus climbing was one of his favorite hobbies.
"Otto! Don't make me come up there!" A familiar voice called out.
"That sounded like Nova," Kimberly said. "We must be close."
Indeed, Nova and the other Robot Monkeys, minus one, were shown to be looking up to a monkey statue with the missing Robot Monkey on top of a chandelier in a Phantom of the Opera fashion.
"Like my caaape?" asked Otto. "I'm a member of the Robo-Ape team! Whoopee! Ha-hooey!"
"Perhaps all the excitement has overstimulated him..." Gibson suggested as Otto was happily babbling like a ninny.
"Otto, this is important," Antauri told his friend. "I've been unable to contact Chiro and the others. They could be in danger."
"Pish-posh! There's no danger in Shuggazoom," Alpha interjected. "We have peace. No more humans to stir up trouble."
"Maybe just a few!" Chrissy remarked. "And where are my aunts?"
"Oh, they had to step away..." Alpha replied. "They'll be back shortly."
Chrissy narrowed her eyes. "YOU HURT THEM!" she then snapped, about to lunge out at him, but Kimberly and Lynn held her back. "Lemme at him! Lemme at him!"
"Ah, Chengo and friends," Alpha greeted. "Now that your pets are revealed safe, I'll bid you good evening." he then told the Robot Monkeys.
"No, please, stay, we insist." Raul smirked.
"Newsflash: this isn't Shuggazoom, guys, and it never was," Lynn soon told the Robot Monkeys. "The whole place is a fake!"
"It's real!" Otto jabbered. "Been remade! Y-You're just jealous you're not part of the Robo-Ape team, Chengo and pals!"
"Get real, man!" LJ retorted. "Your brain is being messed with!"
"He's... Not himself." Nova stated sheepishly.
"You heard your friend. It's been remade in their image." Alpha replied as he began to back off. "You must see it. What with the bananas and robo-apes... All of it, just for them!"
"We don't even like bananas!" Sparx remarked.
"And we are not apes!" Gibson added. "We are of the monkey species."
"That's not the same thing?" Raul asked.
"Same family, just different genetics," Lynn shrugged. "My sister Lisa explained it to me once when she tried to live in the wild like Jane Goodall."
"Someday you will all be upgraded to Robo-Apes, then what a collection you will be!" Alpha told them.
"Do you hear yourself right now?!" Chrissy asked. "That's completely insane!"
"Collection?!" LJ exclaimed, putting two and two together. "Also, Raul, there's a song explaining it, I'll tell you later."
"Why, I could do it for you right now, tick-tock!" Alpha exclaimed, before covering his mouth.
"And there's our answer!" Lynn remarked.
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" Otto gibbered.
"Oh dear..." Alpha said nervously as his body began shifting. "Definitely a leftover from my human days..."
"Scrapperton!" Chiro glared.
"Boom, called it!" Lynn declared.
"YOU GIMME MY AUNTS BACK, OR I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU HAD DIED IN THAT EXPLOSION!" Chrissy growled, her teeth becoming pointed.
The others looked and felt surprised about Chrissy's reaction, though it was understandable.
"You wouldn't dare, would you, little lady?" Scrapperton asked Chrissy.
"WANNA FIND OUT?!" Chrissy sneered. "TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!"
"I'm afraid they had to be locked up and sent away, much like yourselves a few moments ago." Scrapperton replied darkly.
"I'm gonna rip you apart and beat you with your stupid metal parts!" Chrissy shouted.
"And I'm gonna cheer her on while she does it!" LJ added.
"You've ruined my game, children; shame, shame," Scrapperton remarked as the Robo-Apes arrived. "Ah, my robo-ape guards. Dispose of them!"
"You have deceived us!" The golden robo-ape declared, showing the broken chip in his hand. "We don't follow orders anymore."
"And a robot rebellion to boot!" Scrapperton sighed. "This hasn't turned out well at all. Oh, I'll just handle it myself, tick-tock!" And so he began to run towards Chiro, but LJ leapt up and spin-kicked his head off his robo-ape body.
"Nice." Akito said.
Scrapperton's head soon grew spider legs and began to crawl away in fright.
"Stop that head!" Chiro called out as he and the others soon chased after Scrapperton's head.
Everyone looked around as it looked like they had lost him until they found Scrapperton crawling up the wall behind them and hiding in an escape pod and soon took off.
"He's getting away!" Chrissy cried out.
"Chrissy... Thank goodness... You're safe..." Sonata's voice called wearily.
"That sounded like Sonata..." Chrissy said before going over to a prison cell and rushed over and found her aunts, though... They appeared to be older and weak. "Oh... What happened to you guys?"
"Those Robo-Apes jumped us and we ended up here," Aria groaned. "I don't feel so good though."
"What happened to your amulets?" Chrissy frowned.
"We don't know," Adagio said. "We had them before those Robo-Apes got us and we woke up and they and you were gone."
"Then we have to find the amulets and save them!" LJ exclaimed. "TO THE SUPER-ROBOT, ANDALE-ANDALE!"
"Oh, no. I'm staying here!" Otto protested as he began swinging from the parapet.
Nova sighed. "Otto. Now's not the time to start acting like a kid!"
Otto ignored her and grabbed Gibson with his tail.
"I'll monkey-sit Otto and the aunts!" Gibson replied. "You get Scrapperton, but please hurry!"
"Me and Mr. Hal Gibson!~" Otto gushed.
"Hang in there, you three," LJ told the Dazzlings. "We're gonna fix this!"
"Please hurry..." Adagio said with a low groan. "I don't know if we can hold on much longer."
And so, the others took off after Scrapperton as he made contact with his superior.
"Scrapperton, I warned you the kids would discover your ruse." Skeleton King warned.
"The game is still afoot, Your Highness!" Scrapperton remarked. "I assure you, my plan is still very much intact. Just wait and see if it isn't."
The Super Robot was right behind Scrapperton, very hot on his trail.
"Any ideas on where he's headed?" Akito asked the others.
"His course is set for the real Shuggazoom City!" Antauri reported.
"So he made that knock-off planet of the Robo-Apes knowing we'd land there!" Sparx realized.
"That's a lot of trouble just to mess with us." Nova commented.
As the Super Robot flew overhead, Scrapperton's drones from his first episode began attacking Shuggazoom City with laser blasts.
"You guys go back and fend off Scrapper's robo-buddies," Raul told the Hyperforce. "We'll go after Captain Clockwork and maybe hack the info we need outta his brain!"
"Right!" The team replied as they split up.
"We're coming for you, Head Cheese," Lynn glared before groaning. "...That sounded cooler in my head."
And so, the Reserve Team headed after Scrapperton, who had boarded a clockwork pirate ship.
"All hands on deck, prepare to lay siege! Tick-tock!" he bellowed.
"Not so fast, Gears-for-Brains!" LJ declared as he cannonballed onto the deck with the others. "Give us back the amulets, or I'll turn you into the world's ugliest panini maker!"
"You'll have to pry 'em from me if you feel lucky!" Scrapperton retorted.
"Looks like we'll have to pry," Chrissy glared as she cracked her knuckles and prepared herself. "This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts us."
"Doesn't that saying go the other way around?" Akito asked.
"I'm pissed and this horrible rust bucket is jeopardizing my family! I think I know what I said!" Chrissy snapped.
"Girl's got fire in her eyes and in her heart," Lynn remarked. "Not smart to correct her."
"Goldfire, let's hack and attack!" LJ declared as Goldfire surrounded his body in a suit of armor. "We only need the brain, after all."
"There is one thing missing... Another amulet..." Scrapperton remarked.
"Forget it!" Chrissy glared as she protected her own amulet. "This was a special gift."
"Looks like I'm going to be the one prying after you then, dear." Scrapperton then mocked the young Siren.
"PRY THIS!" LJ shouted as he fired a chi bolt straight through Scrapperton's legs. "I'm asking you again: where are the amulets? Tell me, or else I'll destroy your precious collection!"
"You wouldn't dare!" Scrapperton remarked.
"You'd be surprised what a man would be willing to do for one of the women he loves!" LJ replied. "And don't test me!"
"You and what army?" Scrapperton asked.
"Really? Asking that question?" Akito replied, unimpressed.
Raul soon roared like a tiger as he became Turbo Tigre. "I'll tear you apart with these claws with LJ and Goldfire if you don't fess up!" he then demanded. "And I think you know and understand the severity of your situation, so TALK!"
"Fine... They are here, but they also aren't here." Scrapperton soon said, talking in riddles.
"Did I ask for riddles?" LJ asked. "Turbo Tigre... Crush him. CRUSH HIS HEAD SLOWLY!"
"You asked for it!" Turbo Tigre snapped.
Scrapperton soon went to crawl away and escape from the kids. Turbo Tigre lunged out and eventually, he grabbed Scrapperton and rammed the head up against some sort of compartment. When the compartment was hit, the door wiggled a bit before popping open as three shining artifacts were shown.
"The amulets!" Chrissy called as she quickly snatched them before kicking Scrapperton. "THIEF!"
"Let's grab 'em, and go save your aunts!" LJ declared before he pitched Scrapperton's head over the ship railing.
"Thank you, LJ," Chrissy smiled warmly to him. "I just hope we can still save them."
"I'm sure once they get those amulets back, they'll be just fine," Akito replied before glaring at Scrapperton. "As for you... We NEVER wanna see YOUR face ever again!"
"If we're lucky, we won't have to!" LJ replied. "Should be the last time he shows up in the series. Hopefully the Monkey Team is doing alright with those robots..."
"Yeah," Lynn nodded. "Though I don't doubt it."
"I just hope we can save my aunts," Chrissy said as she bowed her head. "I can't imagine what my life would be without them."
"Wow, Chrissy, you've really come a long way from what I've heard about you." Akito commented.
"It's a living," Chrissy shrugged. "Also, thank you for your help, Turbo Tigre."
"It was nuthin'." Turbo Tigre grinned, proud of himself.
"Now let's go save them while the others handle the robot army!" LJ declared as they got into their reserve ship and took off as Scrapperton's ship began to fall out of the sky.
"I'll always have the Robot Monkeys, but I sure am glad to have you guys on the team as well." Chiro smiled at his fellow humans.
"Our pleasure, Chiro!" The rest of the group replied.
"We're back at phony Shuggazoom," LJ replied. "How are things on your end?"
"We took care of those robot invaders," Chiro replied. "Good to go!"
"All right," LJ remarked with a nod. "We all make a great team."
"We sure do," Akito beamed. "So glad that I came along."
"You were invited." Lynn reminded.
"Yeah, well, so were you," Akito shrugged with his hands in his pockets. "But still... You can never go wrong with a great adventure with new friends along the way."
"Just don't get a big head, kid," Chiro warned him. "Sometimes I get like that too."
"We'll get the aunts and be back in Shuggazoom in a matter of minutes!" LJ replied. "Over and out!"
"Hyperforce, GO!" Chiro added.
"Right! Over n' out!" LJ replied as he hung up. "Dazzlings? Where AAAARE you?" he called out.
There was faint singing and crying heard.
"Anyone hear that?" Lynn asked.
"Yeah, it sounded like faint singing and crying." Akito replied.
"...That was oddly specific..." Lynn blinked uneasily.
"He tends to do that," LJ replied before calling out. "Follow those sounds!"
"Aunties!" Chrissy cried as they began to run and follow the sounds.
Aria, Adagio, and Sonata sat together, looking hopeless and like they could die. They began to sing one last song with each other as this looked like the end, but luckily for them and our heroes, it would be far from the end for them.
"Did someone order three mystical amulets that look like rubies?~" LJ called as he and the others finally came over to the Dazzlings.
The Dazzlings rushed over then.
"Ooh! That's us!" Sonata smiled.
"Finally." Aria nearly grumbled.
"Thank you, LJ, we'll take those now." Adagio said as she held out her hand to the boy.
LJ handed the amulets over and turned to wait for them to put them back on. The Dazzlings soon took their respective amulets and glowed briefly as they were properly restored and soon looked to the way they were before.
"Element of... Slow Tempo!" Adagio proclaimed as she glowed.
"Element of... Melody!" Aria proclaimed as she did the same.
"Element of... Sound!" Sonata concluded as she also proclaimed.
And with that, they were back to the way they were supposed to be.
"Thank you so much," Adagio said to LJ. "I suppose you'd like a reward from this experience."
"If you're offering, sure," LJ shrugged. "Though being able to date your niece is its own reward."
"All right, then you shall receive it in abundance." Adagio smirked.
"YA-HOOEY!" LJ cheered as he clicked his heels together in excitement. "Now c'mon, let's get while the gettin's good!"
"Mind if we help out a bit?" Aria smirked. "I wouldn't mind kicking some robo butt."
"By all means, feel free to!" LJ said, taking a bow.
The Dazzlings all grinned at each other as they came out to help out before they would make it back to the Shuggazoom City that they deserved to be in.
"Hey, guys!" Otto called out to them, now accompanied by Robo-Apes. "Need a lift?"
The others shrugged and joined Otto, Gibson, and the Robo-Apes in their trip back to Shuggazoom City.
"Looks like we're gonna make it all out okay and live happily ever after." Sonata beamed and giggled.
"Sonata and her fairy tales..." Aria rolled her eyes.
Soon, as the group was over Shuggazoom, the exit door opened, and the group all jumped out.
"They're on our side?" asked Chiro.
"Apparently Otto made some friends," replied Gibson. "He's good at that."
"Now let's finish this," Adagio declared.
"Robo-Apes..." Chiro shouted.
"And Sirens!" LJ added.
"GO!" Otto shouted.
The Robo-Apes soon began to attack their enemies with help from their new friends. The Dazzlings joined hands before they Sonic Screamed with Chrissy which was super effective with the four of them all working together and having effective experience.
"Good thing they're robots, otherwise this would be kinda graphic." Turbo Tigre commented as he slashed a few with his claws.
"Oh, most definitely!" LJ replied as he used Goldfire to blast holes in the robots.
"You ungrateful robo-apes!" Scrapperton scowled. "I MADE YOU! I MADE YOU!"
Nova wound up and punched right through the hull of Scrapperton's ship, causing it to explode, and sending the captain into the drink.
"Help me!" Scrapperton yelped. "I'll rust! I'll rust!"
"Well, that's just too bad, isn't it?" Kimberly asked with a firm pout as she high-fived with the yellow monkey.
And so, the Robo-Apes and Monkey Team met up together as it was time for goodbye and one final thank you with each other's help.
"Uh, you really don't have to do that anymore." Otto smiled sheepishly as the Robo-Apes bowed at them.
"Yeah, you really don't have to." Akito added.
"Not that we're not honored or anything though." Lynn smirked.
"We know," said the gold Robo-Ape. "You have earned our respect and admiration," As the other Robo-Apes headed back to their ship, he turned around. "You know... You aren't so bad for humans." he told Chiro and his friends.
"Skeleton King is going to be very disappointed in me," said Scrapperton as his head was carted off. "He's very quite ill-tempered, tick-tock! You will hide me?"
"If I hear tick-tock one more time, I'm gonna skin a crocodile." Lynn narrowed her eyes.
"Phew... Memories..." Akito shivered bashfully as that made him think instantly of Neverland.
And so, the Robo-Apes took off to a brave new world after today's misadventure.
"In the future, you think we'll win the battle against Skeleton King?" Chiro asked Antauri hopefully.
"Worry not of tomorrow, it is today that matters." Antauri advised.
"Spoken like a true fortune cookie." Raul smirked.
"Uh, thank you, I think," Antauri replied to him. "But today, we have victory." he then continued.
"And I think I can live with that, especially for now." LJ agreed.
And so, the Robo-Apes took off with Scrapperton at tow as the Dazzlings nodded firmly at him. Chiro and the others soon went back to retire to the Super Robot.
"Well, Chrissy, that was quite an experience," Adagio said. "Even if these Robot Monkeys sounded strange at first."
"Yeah, I can sorta understand that," Chrissy replied. "I thought so too until I got to know them better."
"We're just glad that you're okay." Sonata added, giving her a squeaky hug.
"I was fine," Chrissy said with a small smile. "I missed you guys a lot though."
"We've missed ya too, kiddo," Aria replied. "You need to call us more often."
"I do call you," Chrissy shrugged. "Sometimes you don't answer."
"Oh, my bad," Sonata grinned bashfully. "I might've been tying up the phone line by playing Angry Words with Friends for a while."
"Sonata!" Aria and Adagio rolled their eyes.
"Sorry!" Sonata grinned sheepishly.
Aria and Adagio groaned and rolled their eyes.
"So, are you leaving now?" Chrissy asked her guardians.
Adagio glanced at her before smiling softly. "We can stay for a little bit longer if you want," she then said. "Whatever will make you happy."
"You guys won't mind extra company for just a little bit longer?" Chrissy asked as she glanced back.
"It'd be alright," Chiro replied. "We're all one big family after all."
"Sure! We don't really mind," LJ replied. "Besides, I'm expecting Felicity to come visit by next episode. Her tests HAVE to be done by now!"
"That's right, she goes to that fancy school in the Disney Kingdom." Adagio remarked.
"Yeah, Aunt Belle and Uncle Beast thought it would be good for her," Akito replied. "Even me, Estelle, and Vincent got to go with her on her first time there and even went to the Cotillion."
"Sometimes Zo and me sleepover in her room with her," LJ smiled a bit. "She has a room all to herself, but she has enough space for guests or visitors who stay overnight."
"Well, I hope that she can make it," Sonata smiled warmly. "Sounds like you really miss your big sister."
"Sure do," LJ nodded. "I don't see her very much."
"That school takes up a lot of your time." Akito remarked.
"Well, it is a boarding school," LJ said to him. "But still... I really look up to her."
"Well, we hope you see her again soon," Sonata smiled. "Aria and Adagio have been my sisters for thousands of years, so I couldn't imagine what my life would be like without them."
"Thanks," LJ nodded. "I appreciate your support."
"Sure thing," Sonata beamed. "Now let's get some rest. We've all had a long day."
"And who knows? Felicity could just very well be on her way as we speak." Adagio smiled supportively.
"Maybe." Aria added.
Chrissy smiled proudly at the interactions between her "aunties" and boyfriend as they all went to the Super Robot to turn in until the next big adventure and they did. Everyone rested around and hung out while they still had some free time.
Some time passed and they had some breakfast together as it was quiet so far.
"...I hope that dragon didn't get loose and it ended up hurting everyone," LJ said as he stared at his cereal. "What if she got hurt?"
"LJ, don't worry about your sister, I'm sure she's on her way." Kimberly said, trying to soothe him.
"I know, Kim," LJ replied. "It's just that my overprotective sibling instincts are firing on all cylinders!"
"Maybe we should find something special to do in the meantime," Kimberly smiled. "Go to the park... Maybe go catch a movie at the Mall... Visit the circus..."
"Circus..." LJ repeated with a sigh. "Flick goes to school with a ringmaster's daughter."
"Oh, my..." Kimberly frowned.
"A circus might be good," Akito said. "It'll be a new adventure like when Dad and Aunt Cherry met Dumbo or that time at the circus with Mystery Inc or like when me, Estelle, Felicity, and Vincent got wrapped up in a circus with the Loonatics! Oh, and there was that time with Jirachi..."
"Dude? You're rambling." Raul replied.
"...Sorry." Akito blushed.
LJ rolled his eyes. "Sure, I could use a break." he replied.
"I'm sure something nice will come along eventually," Kimberly smiled at LJ. "Every cloud has a silver lining. Even whenever a unicorn gallops through it."
"Yeah... What she said..." Lynn rolled his eyes, but she smiled politely.
"We're here for you either way." Chrissy added.
"Thanks, I appreciate that." LJ nodded.
The three girls then grinned and smiled at him before suddenly hugging him.
LJ blushed at that. "Alright, it's decided. The circus it is!" he declared triumphantly.
"To the circus!" The others proclaimed before their stomachs growled. "...After breakfast."
And so, they sat down and finished up some breakfast as a flying chariot was coming towards the Super Robot.
