Pink Heart Rising Chapter 2: Fighting
The Hyper Force skipped across the rooftops in the docks area of Shuggazoom. The enemy forces were hard to pinpoint and number, due to the fact they used the terrain and their numbers to fool the long-range sensors. Therefore the team had to pinpoint them by other means.
"So Big Brain, where are these guys? Hope you didn't make a mistake" Sparks quipped. As the group stopped the roof of a square two story warehouse.
Gibson shot the red monkey a glare as he looked up from the square shaped scanner. "If somebody would wait, I will confirm the enemy location." He said tensely. Sparks shot him back a smirk. 'I swear he just does this to annoy me,' the blue monkey thought irritated. Before much else could happen, the scanner started to clamor. "What's this? They're... EVERYONE MOVE!" He shouted.
The monkey team scattered as the rooftop exploded from below. A black and sliver blur shot of the smoke and darkness as the team regrouped in front of the warehouse. Landing in front of them was a new type of formless. The skull was made of platinum looking metal, with a mane of spikes coming out of the center and running down the back to the waist. The forearms were covered in metal armor that merged seamlessly with the three-fingered, six inch, claws. The chest was covered in metal armor that resembled ribs, and had a central red crystal glowing in the chest plate. Three small metal spikes ran along the shoulder pads, and the upper arms, neck and thighs were the same black tar like substance the formless were made of. The pelvis bone was metallic as well and the lower legs and were armored like the forearms and merged with the two-toed clawed feet. An extra hook extended back from the heel to help balance and slash. Out of the black sockets that were its eyes, two red points that glowed.
"What the heck is that!" Nova exclaimed when she finished examining the rising figure.
"Trouble that's what," Chiro answered her as nine more leapt out of the collapsing building.
"Only ten? This'll be a piece of cake," Sparks quipped. "Magna Tingler Blast!" He shouted as he activated his magnets and pointed both at the group in front of him. Red electromagnetic energy raced toward the group of metallic skeletons, who moved apart in a blur of motion. The blast struck the earth causing it to blow up in a shower, but before the attack dissipated, one of the enemy appeared in front of the still attacking Sparks. Landing in between the still sparking magnets, the formless hit the pilot with a brutal upper-cutting claw swipe. The small figured flipped backward in an arc, and as his stunned and horrified teammates watched, another of the black and sliver formless jumped up from behind and intercepted the falling primeape with a downward arcing kick that cut open the rocket pack on his back and sent him crashing into the ground.
"SPARKS!" Nova yelled in surprise and anger. The sunshine colored fem fatale activated her armored fists and charged over toward the downed monkey and the two formless standing over him. Out of the corner of her eyes, she vaguely noted both Otto and Antauri backing up her charge, but didn't have time to think of it as the formless that struck her teammate first, turned and started firing metal spikes from the palm of its hand. Zigzagging through the storm of metal, the combat specialist closed in. "Boom-Boom Wake Up!" She screamed in fury as jabbed her fist with as much strength her small form could muster. A deafening clang rung throughout the area as metal hit metal. Nova smiled fiercely, but then grunted in pain as the taller metal skeleton caught her left wrist, and crushed it in its claws. Her eyes narrowed in pain as the metal claws started to cut through the armor on her wrist, but before it could bite too deep or the left claw could come down on her head, Antauri joined the fray.
"Phase and Daze!" He yelled as he jumped over her head and passed though the slightly dented chest plate of the formless that was holding her. Coming out of its back, he did a forward flip and landed over Sparks's prone form. Crossing both arms above him he blocked the stomp aimed at the red monkey's neck with his claws. The attack, if it had connected, would have taken of Sparks's head. The formless behind the black monkey shuddered, and then blew apart, freeing Nova. Otto activated his saws spinning around and blocking the spikes flying toward his injured and pinned downed comrades. Meanwhile Chiro and Gibson had their hands full. Four out of the ten attackers came after them, two for each of them.
Gibson stood ready as two metal formless rushed him from two forward facing angles. 'This is bad,' He thought as the two attacked with twin downward stabs. The azure genius did a handspring back to avoid the blows, and activated his drills in mid air. Landing he countered with his own assault. "Photon Scalpel!" He cried swing his right drill diagonally up and to the left. A blue laser followed the arch of his swing, fired from the tip of the drill. However like him, the formless dodged, one tumbling forward, the other flipping backward, allowing the photon beam to cut through nothing but air. But Gibson wasn't the team scientist without reason. Before the airborne one could land, Gibson attacked with his left weapon. "Freeze Ray!" He called out. A brilliant teal ray sped out of the tip of the drill, hitting the metal formless and freezing it solid. When the now frozen monster landed, it shattered into small little bits. Unfortunately, the second enemy didn't exit his roll, becoming a rolling spiked orb which, going much faster than Gibson could react plowed into the science officer from his left side. Looking up from where he was now pinned to the ground by several spikes in his left arm, legs, tail and right side, he saw the metal formless slowly stalk closer. 'Monkey doodle,' He thought dismayed.
Otto wasn't having much fun either. Four of the attackers rushed him, Nova, Antauri and Sparks, firing. Using his jet pack he jumped high into the air allowing the formless to only perforate the ground he used to be standing on. One of his attackers ran toward Antauri, one ran toward Nova, and two stayed to play with him. 'Ok, let's see what I can do,' He though as jetted down. The two metal formless stopped running and fried from two angles, trying to catch the green cyborg in the crossfire. Otto didn't let that happen dodging gracefully as came down. "Psycho Chopping Doom Spin!" He yelled as flew low over the ground and struck one of his attackers at thigh level. The rotary saw sliced tough the unarmored flesh like it was air, dismembering the one of the metal formless. Cutting off his rocket, Otto preformed a tumbling stop and leapt up and to the right to avoid the retaliatory storm of spikes. Landing the he dashed toward the standing metal formless, dodging as he came. The steel undead abandoned its long ranged attack and rushed him as well. When both combatants got into melee range, they attack furiously. Claw met saw in a rapid dance of blades. This continued until one of the fighters made a mistake. Now, under normal circumstances, this won't have been Otto, but the green monkey was tired from the back-to-back battles and he slipped. Otto screamed in pain as the long claws raked across his chest. He bounced back, sliding on his back. He forced his eyes open as the metal formless pounced him. "Whirling Destructo Saws!" He yelled as he attacked. Crossing his arms across his chest, he reactivated his saws. Uncrossing his arms, he lashed out, sending his blades out on chains. His aim was true and he neatly decapitated his foe. Sighing he got up, only to get nailed trough the right forearm as a metal spike made its home there. Screaming again he went down, as the down formless prepared to line up another shot.
Nova nursed her left wrist, silently cursing. Her left fist was now useless, so she was now down to one weapon. 'How can I help anyone like this? Still, I won't give up.' She thought as she ran though her options. Suddenly something movement out of the corner of her eye caused her to look up in surprise. Leaping away from her crouch, she dodged the clawed kick of a metal formless. "I'm glad you showed up, because I was starting to feel lonely!" She growled as she charged her enemy. The metal formless did what the other one did before, braced itself by digging into the ground with its clawed feet. However this time Nova wasn't blinded by anger and didn't attack head on. "Lady Tomahawk!" She shouted as she jumped up and pounded her right fist on top of its skull, right next to the spikes. Stunned, and pushed into the ground up to the ankles, it was wide open for the second attack. As she struck Nova used the impact to flip over her enemy. Wrapping her tail around the neck of the metal formless, she dragged it down and slammed the back of its head into the ground, pinning it to the ground by the spiked mane on its back. "Boom-Boom Wake Up!" She shouted as she turned and jabbed it right in the face, crushing the head between her fist and the ground. Panting she stood up, looking down on the melting form of her enemy. "That's what you get for messing with me," she gasped out. 'Not good, with all of the recent battles, I don't have half the stamina I should have,' she thought. Glancing over she noted Antauri was pinned down. He was keeping two metal formless at bay, but was weighed down by Sparks's unconscious body. 'Hold on guys, I'm coming!'
Antauri danced around his attackers, but was unable to counter attack while holding Sparks. The spiritual advisor didn't see this as a burden and was perfectly content to make sure his friend didn't get further injured or worse. Still, if something didn't happen soon, they both would be in trouble. Lucky, that something was Nova jumping in using her Lady Tomahawk to send a shock wave across the ground in front of both formless, causing them to step back. In the brief pause it allowed Nova to reach Antauri's side.
"Let me take him," She said softly when she saw just how injured her teammate was. There were three long slashes across his face and body, and two very deep cuts in his back. Along with several bruises from being plowed into the ground. If the rocket pack hadn't been there, the claws would have reached his spine. As Antauri handed him over to her, the two metal formless decided to rush them again. However, this time the black monkey was ready to attack and did so.
"Monkey Mind Scream!" Antauri yelled firing a blast of psychic life force at the pouncing formless. Surprisingly, the left formless pushed his comrade out of the way of the blast, taking it head on. Tumbling the second formless stopped in a crouch, glaring at the three monkeys. Nova glared back for a moment, then flew off, leaving Antauri to stare down the formless. It raised a hand to shoot the retreating Nova, but Antauri charged him with a shout. "Oh no you DON'T! Mega Monkey Paw!" The metal formless turned back and fired a shot directly at the charging monkey, but Antauri rolled under it. Springing forward out of the roll, he activated his rocket to past him past the claw swipe, and spinning like a bullet, ghost claws forward, ripped a hole though the metal armor and flesh of his foe. Tearing out of its back he landed with his arms crossed. Looking up he saw Otto go down from a direct hit. 'Otto!' "Monkey Mind Scream!" He cried in alarm. The attack hit the disabled formless and blasted it in to bits before it could shoot the emerald mechanic. Antauri raced to the green monkey's side, as he shakily stood up. "Are you alright?" He asked in concern.
"I've been better," Otto replied with a groan, holding his right arm with uninjured left hand. "Where's Sparks?" He asked seriously.
"Right here," Nova answered before Antauri could. She had landed on a nearby roof and before she could decide to stay with Sparks out of the battle, or put him down somewhere safe and jump back in, she noted that the formless that had Otto in its sights, and what Antauri did to resolve the problem. That's when she decided to join them. A scream of pain rang out. 'Chiro!' The monkeys thought.
Like the robot monkeys, Chiro had his hands full. Two of the new formless attacked him right off and he was having a bit of trouble avoiding them. One had narrowly grazed his right forearm, widthwise, and one had grazed his left side. With a scream of "Lighting Kick!" He counter attacked. Electrical energy raced up his leg, then around his right foot as he brought it down in an ax kick. The two metal formless darted aside to avoid the attack, causing a cloud of dust to be kicked up from the attack's impact of the ground. "Chiro Spearo!" The boy shouted. Yellow energy formed in his left hand and formed a lighting bolt-shaped javelin. With that cry he threw though the smokescreen dispersing it and striking one of enemies though the right eye. This blew off its head with little trouble. He turned to see the other rushing him, so he countered with a reverse, handspring kick, smashing it in the jaw and sending it airborne. Landing in a crouch, he cupped his hands down and to his side. Before he could follow up his attack, he saw Gibson's plight. 'One shot!' he thought, focused. "Monkey Fu!" He screamed charging up a ball of green and black energy in-between his palms; he fired it as a steady stream of energy by throwing both hands out forward. The viridian stream of energy slammed into the back of the metal formless that was standing over Gibson and blasted it to bits. However, this left him open to the one he knocked away. Two metal spikes made there way into both of his upper arms, pinning him to a barrel behind him. Before a third spike could make it into his head, Gibson returned the favor with his one good arm.
"Spin Shocker!" he yelled, firing a spinning bolt of electric energy. The bright plasma hit its target, blowing to pieces the last metal formless and causing its last shot to miss, barley. Injured and tired the Hyper Force regrouped around Chiro and Gibson. At this time Sparks woke up, but could only see out of one eye. The other was shut tight.
"Man, I must have done something good if you're carrying me around," He groaned out as he looked up at Nova.
"Shut up before I drop you," She joked good-naturedly back. "If you can flirt with me, then you can't be that badly injured." The red monkey shrugged, but winced as he moved. Otto smiled, happier now that he was sure his friend was going to be all right. Antauri was examing Gibson as this was going on.
"Well, there isn't anyway to do this without hurting you. I apologize in advance," Antauri said to Gibson when he looked at how he was pinned down.
"Don't worry about it, just do what you must," The scientist responded. Nodding, the black monkey lifted his best friend, spikes and all out of the ground, using the power primate. Gibson hissed in pain, but quieted as he hovered off the ground. Chiro freed himself by blowing the metal barrel off of himself with burst of his aura. Staggering up with Otto's help he spoke.
"Monkey Team report," he ordered.
"Otto and I can move, but both of us have a weapon disabled," Nova answered as Otto nodded as returned from picking up the scanner from where Gibson dropped it.
"Sparks and I are too injured to be of much use. Sorry Chiro," Gibson added.
"Speak for yourself. I still have my cool wit to cheer us on," Sparks commented. This got even a smirk out of Gibson and lightened the mood a bit.
"Except for being tired, I am fine Chiro," Antauri said calmly. "However I suggest we get back to the Super Robot to regroup."
"Agreed. My arms aren't much use. Luckily, my rocket pack isn't broken so I think I can fly back," Chiro answered. But before the Hyper Force could withdraw from the field of battle, the scanner went crazy. Twenty-six new metal formless dropped, jumped or dashed in a wide semi-circle around the team, pinning them between the enemy and a warehouse wall. Antauri lowered Gibson down into Otto's arms, then quietly stepping in front of the team with Chiro. Nova and Otto stood back with the two more injured members of the team, waiting for the assault.
As the ring drew closer, Chiro spoke. "Guys, I just want to say, it's been fun hanging out with you, and I'm sorry if I can't think of a way out of this."
"Chiro don't lose hope, we aren't finished yet," Antauri responded getting into a defensive stance. Just as the human boy was going to respond, a familiar female voice shouted out.
"That's right! Because the future can always change!" the unknown voice cried. The metal formless looked up to the roof behind and above the team, and right into the incomeing attacks.
"Pressure Vortex!" A different female voice yelled sending twin tornados of wind slamming into eight of the metal formless, causing them to be blow apart into metal bits and black goop.
"Rapid Fire!" Yelled a male voice as a rain of bullets gunned down six more of the enemy.
"Plasma Star Blaster!" A soft female voice yelled, sending a ball of white-hot plasma exploding into eight more of the metal formless. The dark forms melted in the white flame. The three remaining deiced to counter attack in the brief pause after the simultaneous triple attack. The metal undead fired at Sparks and Gibson, hoping to finish one of them off. But it was not to be.
A gold blur jumped down and landed in front of the monkey team yelling, "Noise Canceller!" A gold dome appeared over the five monkeys and one human, stopping the metal spikes and causing them fall harmlessly to the ground.
A second blur jumped down and landed in front of the metal formless. "High Velocity Tango!" yelled in a female voice. There were two platinum flashes then a pair of the metal formless fell, bisected. The last one jumped back as three blurs joined the first two. And as the gold dome fell, both sides got to finally look at the newcomers.
Five new robot monkeys stood between the old team and the last metal formless, four girls and one boy. From right to left there stood: a female monkey in gold with pink eyes, who had an extra antenna sticking up from just behind her helmet crest, along with an extra sliver band coming from the ear arrays to the middle crest making it look like she was wearing head phones. Next there was a female monkey in indigo with magenta eyes, followed by a female monkey in platinum with pink eyes, and a male monkey in tan with black eyes, with the standard armor. Lastly there was a female monkey in white with red eyes, with black lips and a black on her chest. The last formless looked at them in panic, before he was hit by the last member of the new team. The one who spoke first made her entrance with a cry, "Big Cutter!" There was a flash of light, and the last formless was cut in half by a sword. That last figure who rose from a crouch behind the two melting pieces of the formless was wearing an aqua body suit, with a pink heart on the center of the chest, pink boots, pink gloves, a black belt, and a pink visor over her eyes. She had twin scabbards at her sides, one that was filed with a sword. The other sword was being lazily held in her left hand, the golden Damascus steel sword glinting in the sunlight. Her pink hair with white highlights, bobbed in the twin ponytails it was styled in. Speechless, the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force watched Jin-May walk up to stand behind the five robot monkeys who were now looking at them. "So Chiro, like my new look?" She asked with a smile.
