He's Ba-ack!

Beastfire: Chapter 12 is here! Yay!

As the giant metallic hand came down, it set off an alarm and Ivy and Frus covered their ears to protect from its blaring noise.

"NOW WHAT?" Frus asked.

"WHAT?" returned Ivy.

"I SAID: NOW WHAT?"

"HUH? I CAN'T HEAR YA!"

"STUPID ALARM!"

"HUH? WHAT? THAT STUPID ALARM!"

Both were brought into the Super Robot by Gibson. However neither of them noticed. They still thought that the alarm was blaring in their ears…and continued yelling at each other back and forth. Finally, they looked around and saw that they weren't in the Citadel of Bone, but in Fist Rocket 4 with Gibson. And Gibson both glared at them and looked at them strangely, as if they were aliens…which, okay, technically they were, but that's beside the point.

"They're in," Gibson told the rest of the team.

As they all headed back for Shuggazoom, Ivy and Frus filled them in on everything that happened. Just as they were getting to their reunion, the Super Robot came under fire. Behind them was the Citadel of Bone, with Skeleton King at the helm. All smacked their foreheads. There was just no getting rid of the guy! They tried using evasive maneuvers, but both were over Shuggazoom, and both ended up having to do an emergency landing. The Hyperforce, Ivy, and Frus entered the Citadel to fight Skeleton King again.

As all of them entered the Citadel, they were "greeted" by waves of Formless. Nova took out a dozen of them with her Lady Tomahawk, while Gibson used his Photon Scalpel on another group. Antauri hit some with his Mega Monkey Paw attack, and at the same time Sprx got a good portion of them with his Magna Tingler Blast. Otto used his Cyclo Chopping Doom Spin on quite a few as Chiro used the Monkey Fu attack. Ivy and Frus, still armed with an AK-47 and a sword, went on a Formless killing frenzy.

All of them were doing really well and every single Formless was destroyed. Then, Old Bone Bag himself came out, arms newly reattached and both fire and amputation proof. Ivy and Frus were aghast.

"How did- B-but I stabbed you in the leg!" said Frus.

"And I shot you in the chest!" Ivy added.

"And I sliced your arms off!"

"And I set them on fire!"

Skeleton King just grinned in reply.

"Medical science is amazing, no?"

The two looked at each other, thought about it and began shaking their heads.

"No, not really," they said.

Then, without warning, Skeleton King took one of his surplus cannons (don't ask) and shot at Frus. Ivy leapt and shoved him out of the way, but got hit by the cannonball. Luckily, she only got a whole bunch of broken ribs. If she hadn't used her pyrokinesis to aim it back at Skeleton King, it would have likely killed her. Frus, needless to say, wasn't too happy about who got hit. He managed to stab the overlord through the gut this time, hitting one of his highly valuable visible organs. He doubled over in pain and Ivy came over as quickly as she could, hindered a bit by the pain she was in. It was bad enough to cause her to have problems flying…same with walking. Frus came over to her and supported her weight, helping her out to the Super Robot. Before they could get there, however, Skeleton King crawled over and bit Frus' tail, distracting him for a while. He scratched Skeleton King in the eye and got both himself and Ivy closer to the robot. That was when the overlord used another trick that he had up his sleeve…he broke several chunks off of the Citadel and aimed them at the Hyperforce, Ivy, and Frus. Knowing that she was more vulnerable in her present condition, Frus shielded Ivy with his own body, and some steel. Chiro shielded his shield, only to be protected by all of the monkeys surrounding him. The Citadel at this time was accidentally blown up and the chunks of it rained down upon the city. The citizens watched as the Hyperforce became buried beneath the chunks. They didn't know if the team made it…

Beastfire: Chappie 12 is up! Sorry it was shorter than others, but I wanted to leave you all on a cliffy!

Next time, we see what happened after the blast. Did the Hyperforce survive?

Frus: YOU BETTER NOT KILL IVY OFF! OR ME EITHER!

Ivy: (shaking) Yeah. What he said. (hides behind Frus)

Beastfire: Please review!
