Chapter Eight: Under Attack

"Hey! I found the scent of the outsiders they're not too far away!" one of Valencia said as she padded up to the other lionesses.

"Then let's go!" another roared. "Call the Flying Ones, we'll need there help!"

Antauri jumped out of his current meditation state with a gasp. He stood up breathing heavily.

"What's wrong Antauri?" Chiro asked alarmed.

"I sense danger coming this way..." he told Chiro.

"Danger? That's impossible!" Kirei said.

"N-nothings impossible look!" Nova said as she pointed to the Valencia rushing towards them.

"Lions?" Otto asked confused. Kirei froze and turned pale at the sight of them.

"No! Worst! It's the Valencia," Kirei told them.

"Your little purple friend gave away your location...she shouldn't have been wandering out all alone, but you won't have to worry about her much longer," sneered one of the Valencia.

"What did you do to my sister?" Kirei said as she was about to run up to one of the Valencia with her fists in the air.

"Hold on Kiddo" Otto told her.

"Tell us the whereabouts of Cielle," Antauri said.

One of the Valencia smirked, "To the Master's castle of course," she answered.

"She'll make a lovely addition to our already growing collection of scrap metal," laughed one of them baring her sharp fangs.

"No! You can't hurt you! You won't!" Kirei said on the verge of tears.

"We'll see..." one of the Valencia purred.

The Valencia came charging towards them and Kirei and the Hyper force braced themselves for there attack. One of the Valencia jumped onto Nova and pinned her to the ground, another snapped at Gibson's tail, yet another chased after Otto, while Kirei trapped one in her pink bubble. Chiro, Antauri and Sparx who were back to back were being circled by three Valencia.

"Unh...g-get off of me," Nova said trying to get out from under the Valencia's powerful paws.

The Valencia laughed evilly, "Never! I'm staying in this spot until your crushed!"

"Nova!' Sparx yelled leaping past the Valencia. They snapped and him and turned to chase him.

"Hey uglies! Over here!" Chiro said as he kicked one of the Valencia in the jaw. It roared in pain and turned to Chiro angrily.

" insert attack name here" Sparx said as his attack hit the Valencia dead on. The Valencia jumped back off of Nova roaring angrily and holding her eyes shut in pain.

"Nova!" Sparx said. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I think so..." Nova said. Sparx helped her get up and she flashed him a smile.

"Hey! Would you two mind helping me?" Gibson asked as he ran by with a Valencia behind him.

"Hi-ya!" Nova said as she punched the Valencia square in the face. The Valencia growled and lifted it's giant paw, swatted Nova away and leapt into the air pouncing on Gibson. Gibson let out a muffled yell as he and the Valencia rolled down the hill, they hit the bottom and landed in a pile of leaves and sticks. The Valencia immediately rose to her feet and viciously began to attack Gibson. He squeezed out from underneath her and growled.

The Valencia growled and ran towards Gibson in a mad fury. He braced himself to be hit but was surprised to hear a very familiar voice.

"insert attack name here" It was Antauri, who had jumped out of the bushes and tackled the Valencia.

"Antauri!" Gibson called gratefully. The Valencia threw Antauri off of her and stopped to take a deep breath. She stared at the two robot monkeys seeing she was outnumbered and ran back up the hill without the slightest effort.

"Are you alright Gibson?" Antauri asked him.

"Yes, I think so," Gibson said standing up and dusting himself off.

"Come on we have to help the others!" Antauri said.

"Right," Gibson said.
