Supa-nova-101: Thank you for the review. It isn't really a chore, it's my room. It's just that my room gets messy enough to be a lot of work to clean up.
Beastfire: Thanks for the review.
Yeah, this chapter is kind of sub-par. Sorry! I hope that you like it anyway…
Chapter 12
The next few days were uneventful for the inhabitants of Shuggazoom. They heard little from their heroes, who they assumed were taking care of themselves for the time being, after protecting them from yet another disaster. Even if the city had been spared from damage, word spread quickly enough, and the people were happy to give their heroes the time that they needed.
Luckily, the one fear that everyone had, that the Skeleton King, who knew that so many of the team had been injured, would attack while the team was weak, was never came to pass. Although it seemed odd, the Skeleton King didn't make a move, and the people were happy for that.
Alas, but good fortune does not last forever. And so the people of Shuggazoom City were unhappy, frightened really, when an army of formless appeared on the horizon with strange creatures that darkened the sky like storm clouds following them, but they were not surprised. All they could do was hope that the monkey team was able to save them this time.
Just as the formless were closing in on the city, their path was blocked by the gigantic form of the Super Robot. Although it would be difficult to fight one enemy of that size using the Robot, its attacks were able to cut through line after line of the army. At the same time, the members of the team who were not involved in the piloting of the Robot were using their powers or one of various weapons to pick off the beasts as they flew through the air.
Even as the formless and the other things, whatever they were, were being destroyed, many were able to attack. They swarmed over the robot, trying to find ways inside. Those on the outside turned to repelling these invaders.
From inside the Super Robot, the battle seemed to be going well. None of their enemies could find a way in or had the power to force their way inside, and soon they would be few enough for the team to exit and simply clean up the last of them. That was what they thought.
Abruptly, the enemies outside simply stopped fighting. They turned towards the city and ignored the Super Robot. Usually this would have been insane, as the Robot's attacks could easily take them out if they weren't trying to evade. But before a move could be made, the lights went out and the Robot froze up.
"Hello, Chiro," said the Skeleton King. Instead of his normal surge of braver, Chiro felt a chill when he knew that the Skeleton King was right behind him…
Sorry it's so short. I'll try to do better next time.
