And now we're back to the episode chapters.
I don't own "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!", but I wish I did. And just in case, I don't own the "Digimon" franchise, because if I did "Digimon 02" and its plot wouldn't be a hot mess.
"Monkey Team border re-con, do you copy?"
"Chiro here, Sector 10 is all clear, Antauri!" Chiro said
"Yup! No sign of Skeleton King activity," Kira said.
"Let's pack it in, Sprx," Chiro said. "Right, kid!" Sprx said. "Wait, ngh! I'm sensing some kind of magnetic anomaly in the atmosphere," Sprx replied. "Weird... Uh, better return to HQ ASAP!" Chiro said over the comm. "What? You have a hot date?" Sprx asked, smirking. "Me? No! I-I just -" 'Urgent reminder for Chiro: weekly episodic television series, "The Sun Riders", will begin in 5 minutes.' "You want to go in early to watch your show, Chiro?" Kira deadpanned. 'Urgent reminder for Kira: the "Digimon" franchise marathon will begin in 10 minutes.'The robotic reminder said as Kira looked down and blushed.
"Ha ha ha ha ha, go ahead you two. Watch your shows. I can check this out on my own," Sprx said. "Thanks, Sprx," Chiro said. "Sure. Oh, and one more thing. You better record that marathon, Kira." Sprx said as the young girl chuckled. "Ok, Sprx! See you later!" She said.

Kira was watching (and recording) the start of the "Digimon" marathon when Chiro and Antauri entered her room through the door. "Kira, is Sprx in here? Did he come back yet?" Chiro asked. "No, he hasn't yet," Kira said slowly. "Wait, did something happen?!"
*TRANSITION*
Antauri, Chiro and Kira came into the main room through their respective tubes and rushed to the screen.
"The radar scan had Sprx in low orbit when his tracking beacon went dead, and he disappeared," Gibson reported. "Based on his last known trajectory, I calculate his path lead him into this sector." "The Trash-Con Corridor," Otto said in awe. "Nothing but a bunch of broken, worn out old space junk up there!" "Uh, he was checking out some magnetic anomaly, eh, try contacting him." Chiro suggested.
"I advise we combine signal strength to increase overall range," Gibson said.
"Monkey Team to Sprx! SPRX-77 reply!" Antauri said. What the Team got back wasn't a reply, but an ear-splitting metallic shriek. "OW! What was that?!" Chiro asked as he and Kira covered their ears. "Appears his comm. signal is being jammed, by something up there." Gibson replied. "If Sprx were here he would want to go rescue, uh, himself," Otto said. "And that's what we'll do!"Chiro said as he and Kira transformed into Hyper-mode.
"Hyper Force, GO!" 'Hang on, Sprx,' Kira thought.
*TRANSITION*
The Team ran to their respective tubes and were transported to their vehicles, all except for Sprx.
"Foot Crusher Cruiser 6, Go!"
"Foot Crusher Cruiser 5, Go!"
"Fist Rocket 4, Go."
"Brain Scrambler Pilot 2, Go!"
"Torso Tank Drivers 1 and 2, Go!"
"Super!"
"Robot!"
"…"
"Er, Team!"
"Hyper!"
"Force!"
"GO!"
"Nobody said 'Monkey'…" Gibson said sadly as the Super Robot flew up into the sky.
"WHOA! What's with the steering?!" Chiro yelled. "Without the Fist Rocket 4 the gyro-compensator's out of balance!" Gibson replied. "I think I'm gonna be sick," Kira said, looking a bit pale (well, paler than usual,). "Well don't throw up in here! It's gonna stink!" Chiro said. "Careful not to hit that big thing!" Nova yelled. "What big thing?" Otto asked. "Oh, that big, BIG thing!" He exclaimed as they hurtled towards what looked like a giant cube. "AH!" They all yelled as the Super Robot crashed "head" first into the giant cube.
.
.
.
.
"Whaddya got?" Chiro said as he and Kira stepped out in their space suits. "Bad news, we're too unstable to fly without Fist Rocket 1 and Sprx," Gibson reported. "Good news, I sense Sprx's presence! He's here somewhere," Antauri said. "But, where is here?" Kira asked.
.
.
.
.
"Look at this place! Have you ever seen such a paradise?" Otto asked gleefully. "Of rusty old junk? Uh, no." Nova said. "Ugh, this place makes my fur itch!" Nova said as she hugged herself. "Come on, Otto! After we find Sprx you can explore this place all you want!" Kira yelled back as the green-furred monkey ran to catch up, all of them oblivious to a small metal robot following them.
"Whatever's jamming Sprx's appears to be coming from this location," Chiro said. "Does anyone else feel like they're being watched?" Kira asked. Not long after the young girl spoke, the Team heard a robotic sound. "Hey, did you hear that?!" Chiro asked as they all looked around. "Over there!" Nova yelled as she pointed to a small camera-bot. "That thing might know where Sprx is!" Chiro said as he ran towards it. "Or it might have at least seen the Fist Rocket!" Kira said as she followed her older brother. They both lunged for the bot, but it quickly dodged the both of them and scurried away as the Team chased after it and backed it into a corner,
"Don't worry! We're not gonna hurt you!" Kira said a,d as they approached the bot "grew" wings and flew off with Otto and Nova failing to grab it. "Otto! I thought you were gonna grab it!" Nova yelled. "I thought SPrx was gonna!- Oh yeah, my fault," Otto said. "It wasn't your fault Otto, so don't blame yourself." Kira said as she smiled encouragingly. "She's right Otto, there are other forces at work," Antauri said. Suddenly, the Team was confined in a metal box. "What's this?!" Chiro exclaimed.
.
.
.
.
"Wait, listen," Antauri said as the Team fell downwards, and when the box hit the ground, it opened up to reveal that they were in a blue-tinted room with multiple gears, machines, and mechanisms. "Stay alert, Team! Somebody brought us here," Chiro said as from both sides of them four red robots suddenly appeared. "Maybe it was THOSE guys," Otto said as the robots surrounded them. "Maybe they'll run away like their little friend," Gibson said as the robots pulled out their weapons. "Nope, looks like they're the welcoming committee, Gibson!" Kira exclaimed. "Hyper Force GO! Formation O!"Chiro said.
"Chiro Spear-O!"
"Claw Disruptor!"
"Tornado Ka-blasto!"
"Montog Scalpel! Nova, a little help, please!"
"Lady Tomahawk! Whoa!" Nova said as she was hit.
"Don't worry, I've got you Nova! Shadow Dome!" Kira said as she brought up her defensive dome of shadows around herself and Nova as two robots shot at them.
"Ugh!"
"Ah!"
"Uh!"
"Shadow Thief!" Kira shouted as she destroyed two of the remaining robots as Chiro kicked two others, destroying them. "Everybody Ok?" Chiro asked as Kira helped the others get up. "I forgot, in O Formation both Sprx and Kira cover our rear!" "Sorry guys, I'll remember next time," Kira said. "It's not your fault, you're just used to the way the O Formation usually is, so are we," Nova said. The Team then gasped in disbelief as the destroyed robots assembled themselves back together, even more coming at them all then before. "There are too many to fight!" Gibson exclaimed. "Heh! There's never too many to fight!" Nova replied. "Ah, but are there too many to fight, and win?" Antauri asked as the robots closed in on them.
.
.
.
.
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Reset! Reboot!" A voice came as the robots backed off as the Team blinked in confusion and disbelief.
"This is no way to welcome visitors to the realm!" Another being that looked like a robot but with a visible brain inside its "head" as he knocked over a long row of red robots down as they were all dispersing. "My deepest apologies, my soldiers are somewhat, single-minded in duty," the being said as he bowed and straightened up. "I am your host, Lord Scrapperton! Version 2.8! Grand Earl of the Mecha-Realm!" "Um, I'm Chiro, this is my little sister Kira, and these are-" "The finest examples of Mech-simians I've ever laid optics on!" Scrapperton said as he walked past the two siblings to look at Gibson. "Oh, the wedges and the gadgets! It must have taken you both years to collect them all! I'm a bit of a collector myself, you see," Scrapperton said. "Mm-hm," Chiro said. "Actually, that's why we're here, we're missing one. A red one." "Hm-hm-hm, it's always the red ones, isn't it?" Scrapperton chuckled.
"His ship disappeared near here, and we were hoping maybe you'd seen him," Chiro said. "Mmm... No, decidedly not," Scrapperton replied. "Come with me young Chiro and Kira, to the parlor, that's where I keep my scanners. We'll find your lost monkey, see if we don't! I'll just fetch a transport," Scrapperton said as he walked away. "Whatever was jamming Sprx's signal is coming from in here," Gibson said as he stopped Chiro from following Scrapperton. "Somewhere close."
"Right, I'm guessing this guy's up to something," Chiro said. "What tipped you off? The fact that he stared at the others weirdly, that in the beginning he completely ignored you, or that until he saw the monkeys, his soldiers were attacking us," Kira said. "Um, all three? But still, the guy's too happy, creepy happy." Chiro replied. "We'll keep him busy while you guys track the signal," Kira said. "Kira, Chiro," Antauri said. "We know what we're doing," Kira said as Scrapperton flew back to them using a very large gear for transport. The two siblings jumped onto the gear to join Scrapperton on it. "Our monkeys will stay here and, uh..." "Do as they wish!" Scrapperton said. "In my kingdom they're welcome from aft to stern."

"I would never have dreamed of a place like this, when I was human," Scrapperton said as they flew around his kingdom. "You were human?!" Chiro asked, surprised. "Yes! Sparing the gruesome details, one day I happened to find myself severely lacking in the leg department!" Scrapperton said. "That's awful!" Kira said sympathetically. "Nonsense! It was the beginning of my grand upgrade! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" Scrapperton said as the gear the three were riding went down a tunnel filled with TVs of all shapes and sizes. "Ah, those were the best years of my life," Scrapperton said.
(Flash-back)
Scrapperton looked back to his earlier days as black and white pictures came up.
"Leg number one: serial number GH-11929. A genuine masterpiece from the age of steel. It was my first gadget, I HAD to have a matching pair!" Scrapperton said as a picture of two human legs became robotic. "But I couldn't stop there, tick-toc. Titanium replaced bone, my raspy organic lungs became a fuel-efficient carbonator." As Scrapperton said this, his human body showed mechanical changes happening within his body piece by piece.
(End Flash-back)
"I had outgrown my chaotic human biology to become a truly self-made man! Tick-tock!" Scrapperton said as his new robotic image was shown on a large TV screen. "You replaced ALL your human parts?" Chiro asked. "Upgraded! In order to collect a full set, I really quite had to, tick-tock," Scrapperton replied.
.
.
.

The gear that Scrapperton, Chiro and Kira were riding went through a tunnel and entered another room filled with what someone would normally call 'mechanical junk'. "Home again, home again, do the jig!" Scrapperton said modestly. "Wow! That's some throne!" Kira said in awe. "Why, thank you, my dear! You could call it my, 'seat of power', *ahem*, it's also a neutron generator!" Scrapperton said grandly. "The battery makes the whole place a bit twitchy but, gotta keep the whole thing going," he said. Suddenly, an alarm resounded throughought the whole room. "What was that?" Kira asked as she and Chiro looked around. "Um, no cause for alarm, I've missed tick-tock time," Scrapperton said reassuringly as his top hat opened up to reveal a pink machine in which he placed the point of his scepter into. "Hello, Mr. Cogsmith!" Scrapperton cheerfully said to it. "Coggy is the best thing I ever found! One of a kind, really, he's just full of great ideas!" Scrapperton said as "Cogsmith" turned around from use. "Yes... yes! Tick-tock! In fact, it was Coggy'sida to build this place! Tick-tock!" "Wow, really?" Kira said in admiration.
"That's cool, but where are those scanners you were talking about? We're kinda worried about our friend," Chiro said. 'Right, how could I let Scrapperton distract me? I'm supposed to be distracting him and trying to find Sprx!' Kira thought. " Yes, yes, yes, but first come see my personal best collection! Tick-tock! These are the most precious of the precious!" Scrapperton said as he gestured towards three figurines.
"No way! It's the Sun Riders! You actually have the whole set?!" Chiro exclaimed. "Why collect at all if you're not going to collect them all?" Scrapperton said nonchalantly. Chiro's jaw dropped as he looked at the figurines. "Super Quasar! Aurora Six! Even Johnny Sunspot's side-car!" Chiro exclaimed as he lovingly looked at them. "Wow, Chiro! That's great! I mean, I couldn't imagine if I found a full set of the- AH!" Kira suddenly screamed as she turned to see a lot of figurines. "A whole complete set of the Digi-destined and their digimon with all of their digi-volutions?! I thought it was impossible to still be able to find a complete set! Ohmygosh, when Sprx sees this he is going to flip!" The young girl exclaimed as she fan-girled over the set.
"I've always wanted to find those that obviously shared my, desire, to collect as you two do," Scrapperton said as he broke the two out of their trances. "Uh, thanks, but no thanks." Chiro said as he took Kira's hand and pulled her behind him. "Yeah, we really need to find him, and..." Kira said when suddenly the mechanical junk pile tumbled over to reveal... "The Fist Rocket!" Kira exclaimed as she and Chiro turned to glare at Scrapperton. "Ah, yes, I have been a teensy bit deceptive, tick-tock, bad Scrapperton! It's a leftover from my human days," he said as he tapped his scepter on his hand. "Where. Is. Our. Monkey?" Chiro demanded as the two siblings continued to glare at Scrapperton.
"WOAH!" The two siblings turned around to see the Monkey Team lying in a collapsed heap on the floor. "There. Happy?" Scrapperton asked mockingly as the two ran over to the monkeys. "Sprx!" Kira yelled in relief as they reached them. "You two Ok?" Sprx asked as he smiled at them. "We're fine." Kira said as Sprx reached up his new hand. "OH! You've got man-hands!" Chiro said as he pulled Kira back in surprise. "He-heh..." Sprx nervously chuckled. "Give him back his magnets!" Kira demanded. "Ha ha, tick-tock! I'm afraid I'm not quite done with them just yet," Scrapperton said.
Sprx's magnets then came out of Scrapperton's back. "I've got plans, BIG plans," Scrapperton said. "Now, what was it the red monkey said? Oh yes, Magna-Ball Blazer!" Scrapperton shouted as he attacked the Team. "Repulsor Ray, go!" Scrapperton yelled as he slammed them all into the wall. "Ah ha ha ha ha, tick-tock, tick-tock." Scrapperton said menacingly as he stood over the collapsed Team.

"Ugh..." Kira said as she woke up. She then turned her head and her eyes widened in shock as she took in that the rest of the Monkey Team's hands were gone. "Oh no," she whispered. She then turned to see Chiro get up and walk towards the 'bars' of their cell and wiced when he was electrocuted. "Otto, cut us out of here!" Chiro said. "Chiro, Otto doesn't have his saws," Kira said sadly. "Yep, no can do, Chiro." Otto stated. Kira tried form a Shadow Dome, but it wouldn't go all the way through without electrocuting her as well. "I can't use the shadows, they're screaming," she said. "At least you've got hands," Nova said as she glared at Sprx. "Yeah, but they're so weird! So, how we gettin' outta here? Should we split up?" Sprx asked. Kira smiled and shook her head no as she said "Chiro and I already made that mistake, Sprx. We're not as good without all our pieces. We'll do this together."
"You know what Sprx would say if he were here? He'd say-" "I'd say right on, kid!" Sprx said as he covered Otto's mouth.

"Tick-tock! Soon my collection will be a whole world closer to completion," Scrapperton said as he used Sprx's magnets to lift up Shuggazoom City."I don't think so!" A voice rang out. "That's no collectible! That's our home!" Chiro finished as he and Kira attacked Scrapperton.
"Thunder Punch!"
"Shadow Thief!"
"I suppose that would have hurt! Had I been human!" Scrapperton exclaimed as Nova's gauntlets, Gibson's drills, Otto's saws, and Antauri's ghost claws appeared from his back. Suddenly, the red robot soldiers from before appeared behind the Team. "I'll get Scrapperton. Kira, you help the others handle his machines!" Chiro said. Kira nodded at this determinedly but Otto said "Handle 'em?! We got no hands!" "I don't know," Sprx said as he showed off his man-hands, "I'm pretty handy with these."
"Shadow Thief!" Kira yelled as she took down four robots with her shadow. She then ran to protect the others from floating out into space. As she was struggling, she looked down at her brother's fight with Scrapperton, and cheered when Sprx used a yo-yo -'Huh, when did he get that?'- and threw Scrapperton's scepter into a large gear. As she and the rest of the Team fell back onto the floor. "Hey, you got your weapons back!" She shouted as got up. However, confusion soon took over as she and the Team started to once again float. "That thing powers the artificial gravity!" Chiro exclaimed. "That's the least of our worries! That thing is going into critical over-load!" Gibson said as the machine began to shoot out electricity.
"My collection!" Kira turned her head to the left to see Scrapperton (or rather, Scrapperton's head) flying around and fretting over his disappearing collection. "Your collection is history, Scrapperton! Let's go!" Chiro said. "Don't touch me! I'm s-starting a new collection, yes, tick-tock!" "You mean you would rather risk your life for a collection?!" Kira shouted. 'The guy is nuts but you can't say he's not determined,' the young girl thought as she followed the rest of the Team to the Fist Rocket as they sped towards the Super Robot, which flew out of harms' way in the nick of time.

"Scans show no bios, no mechs, nothing. In short, no Scrapperton." Gibson reported. "Then he's... gone?" Kira whispered, horror-stricken. This was the first time that someone didn't survive an attack. She hadn't exactly liked Scrapperton, but maybe if he had been saved, he could have been helped. "He must have been vaporized when the neutron generator went," Antauri concluded. "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force, let's go home." Chiro said.
.
.
.

"Hey kid," Sprx said as he came into Kira's room. "Oh hey, Sprx. Looks like you got your hands back, huh?" Kira said as she smiled softly and started to pet the sleeping Kage. 'I can't believe he slept through all that!' Kira thought. "Yup, but that's not what I came in here for. Did ya record that marathon like I asked you to?" The red monkey said as he hopped on top of Kira's bed. Kira's smile grew wider as she said "From the second it came on."
Well, that was the last episode before the two I REALLY wanted to get to. If you guys felt like Kira hasn't been doing a lot to stand out, I think the next two episode-chapters will fix that for you. ;3
