After Nova finished give them the tour around the Super Robot and Shruggazoom, Sirkit and Gigi decided to check out the controls of the Super Robot under Gibson's close watched.

"Why do you keep pestering me with all these questions Sirkit?" Gibson asked annoyed.

"So I can get the answers, duh," Sirkit answered sarcastically.

Gibson rolled his eyes as he sighed.

Just then the alarm began to wail.

Chiro and the others rushed in ready for an attack.

"Gibson! What's going on!" Chiro demanded.

"An unknown creator is attacking Shruggazoom," Gibson answered as he typed away on a keyboard.

"Monkeys Mobilize!" Chiro yelled.

He and the monkeys rushed out of Robot and flew to the heart of the City.

"Hmm, in their rush they forgot about us," Gigi wonder out load.

"That's good isn't it?" Sirkit asked, "That gives us some time to check out the robot without the old fork asking too many questions and to see if this thing has any secrets we don't already know about."

"Yes, but I didn't think it would be this easy. Well thinking won't help us now," Gigi said as she turned around and begin to walk away, "Let's go see what we can find, shall we?"

Sirkit shrugged but followed, "So how long do you think it will take them to realize the monster's a hologram?" she asked.

"Not long, so we'll have to work fast," Gigi answered.

"Well this was stupid," Sparx said as he and the others stood before the huge lizard like monster, "Why didn't we bring the robot?"

"Because that's where Gigi and Sirkit are," Antauri answered, "We can't risk them getting hurt."

"What's the matter Sparx?" Nova teased, "Can't handle the big old monster?"

"Ha, I can handle anything this thing can throw at me," Sparx answered with a wink.

"It looks kinda wired," Otto said

"Yes I have to agree, it looks like it came from a very old movie," Gibson added.

"No matter what it looks like, we'll still kick its butt," Chiro said.

"Now you're talking my langue kid," Sparx said as he charged off to battle.

Everyone followed Sparx crying out their attacks. But when the Hyper Force struck the creator their attacks went right through the skin and landed on the other side of the giant lizard.

"What just happened?" Nova asked.

"It appears that instead id hurting the monster we went right through it," Antauri said.

"Then how are we supposed to beat it if we can't even touch it?" Chiro asked.

"Easy," Sparx said, "Keep hitting it."

Sparx flew into the air.

"Sparx wait!" Nova called but it was too late.

Sparx attacked the monster from behind but his attacks went right through the monster again and hit the buildings beyond. Luckily all the citizens evacuated the scene so the crumbling rocks from the destroyed buildings it the ground safely.

"Sparx stop!" Chiro yelled, "You're just making things worse!"

Sparx grumbled but quickly landed back on the ground.

"Curious, not only can we not hit the monster but it seems that the monster can't touch anything at all. It just walks right through the buildings," Gibson pointed out.

"But how can that be?" Chiro asked alarmed.

"I'm not sure," Antauri answered.

"I don't like this," Nova said, "Something's not right here."

"Look the monster is getting smaller," Sparx said.

The Hyper force looked on as the monster shrunk half it's size on the side of a skyscraper.

"Hey guys!" Otto called, "Look what I found!"

Everyone turned to see Otto happily holding up a strange round machine in his hands.

"What is it?" Nova asked.

"I'm not sure, but what ever it is, its cool," Otto said with a smile.

Gibson looked at the monster that at the machine in Otto hands than back again.

"OF COURSE!" He exclaimed, "That's not a monster at all!"

"What are you talking about Gibson, of course it's a monster,' Sparx said

"Yes but not a real monster. You see it's a movie," Gibson explained.

"I see what you're saying." Antauri said.

"Well I don't," said Nova.

"You see the devise in Otto's hands?" Gibson asked.

"Yeah, what about it?" Nova said, still not understanding.

"It's a movie projector, and that's the movie," Gibson as he pointed to the fake monster on the wall.

Just then people appeared on the wall screaming and running away from the monster.

"Well if it's just a movie, why did it set off the alarm?" Chiro asked.

"I'm not sure, we'll have to check it out when we get back to the Super Robot," Gibson answered.

"Whoa! Look at these parts!" Otto said.

"What about them?" Chiro asked.

"Half these parts haven't even been made yet, " Otto said.

"What? Are you sure?" Antauri asked.

"Yeah I'm sure. I would remember a part called…" Otto squinted his eyes to see the lapel engraved on the metal, "The squish-o-nater 6000 on the market."

"Hmmm…we'll have to worry about later. For now I suggest getting back to the Super Robot," Antauri said.

Chiro nodded, "Ok team, let's go."

The hyper Force quickly took to the air and flew to the Super Robot as quickly as they could.

"AHHHH! What did they do!" Otto cried as he entered the control room of the Super Robot, "The alarm system a mess!"

"Can you fix it Otto?" Chiro asked.

"No problem, I just can believe the mess someone left behind. Whoever did this was a real amateur. I don't think they were even trying to hide this mess. Somehow they re-wired the alarm to go off whenever these two wires touch," Otto explained.

"Who would do this?" Nova asked.

"I'll give you two guesses," Sparx said.

"Sirkit and Gigi," Gibson said as he crossed his arms.

"No way, you guys can't prove that," Nova said

"We don't have to Nova," Sparx said.

"Who else could have done it?" Gibson said bitterly.

"Hold on guys," Chiro said, "Nova's right, we can't prove that."

"Yes, We'll have to get their side of the story then decide if they are guilty or not," Antauri said.

"There's something strange about those two," Otto said as he began to repair the alarm.

"Yeah tell me about it, "Sparx said as he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, like the ring on Gigi's tail,' Otto added

'Yeah, Sirkit has one on her tail too, "Nova said, "But when I asked about it she look like she was about to cry and told me that her friend gave it to her."

"Really? Gigi just snapped at me when I asked about it," Otto said.

"Otto, please don't get sidetracked," Gibson said.

"What? Oh right. I'm pretty sure that those rings are really small machine things," Otto explained.

"How could you tell?" Chiro asked.

"Cause I got a close enough look to see through the jewel thing and saw what looked like a clock or something like that, "Otto said.

"I'm telling you we should kick them out now before it's too late," Sparx said.

"No way!" Nova shouted eagerly.

"What if they attack us during the night, huh? We'll be caught totally off guard," Sparx argued.

"If they were going to attack us they would have done it already," Nova argued back.

"Enough you two," Antauri said, "Nova go get Sirkit and Gigi and bring them back here. Maybe they'll shed some light on our situation."

Nova nodded and quickly left the room to look for the two monkeys.

Nova went to look in her room first.

"I know they didn't do it. They couldn't have done it…could they?" Nova thought as she walked up to her room.

Nova thought it was odd that her door was left slightly open. She was about to go in when she heard Gigi and Sirkit talking.

"So what are we going to do?" Nova heard Sirkit say, "At this rate Atalo and the others will be killed."

"I know, the holo-jecter that I planted during Nova's tour of the city, got us enough time to check out the robot but we found nothing we already know and it's only a matter a time before they figure out I rewired the alarm while you were asking Gibson all those questions. And to top it all off the Time Rings didn't take us back as far as we needed to go." Gigi explained.

"I was wondering about that. We were supposed to go back before Chiro meat our 'fathers', but Antauri's has already become the silver monkey. There's no hope for us to defeat him now." Sirkit said.

"Apparently even Otis's machines have limits. We can only go 50 years into the past, no farther than that." Gigi explained. "And even if we could destroy the elderly Hyper Force what will happen to us? The only reason we came to be was because of them."

"I don't care!" Sirkit yelled, "The Skeleton Prince has our friends and if we don't kill the old Hyper Force he'll kill them."

Nova couldn't believe it, she had to tell the others. Nova began to back away from the door but tripped over her own tail.

"Whoa!" She cried as she landed on her back, "Ow…that was smooth," Nova grounded.

"Nova!" Gigi said, "What are you doing here?"

"Umm, just inspecting the floor. Umm…yep it's clean," Nova said with a nervous smile.

"You heard what we said, didn't you?" Sirkit asked with no emotion.

"Um..no I didn't hear a thing. Especially anything about a Time Ring," Nova said as she got up.

"Aww, Nova why did you have did you have to hear," Sirkit said as Gigi shook her head.

"There, all done," Otto said as he close the door and covered the alarm wires.

Then there was a long scream coming from somewhere inside the Super Robot.

"That was Nova!" Sparx said alarmed.

"Let's go team," Chiro said as he and his monkeys race to find Nova.

After looking through the whole the interior of the robot Chiro, Sparx, Otto, Gibson and Antauri returned to the control room.

"They took her," Otto said.

"Gigi and Sirkit monkey-napped Nova," Gibson said darkly.
