And here's Part Two!
"Mmmmhhh."
Kira groaned as she held her head, still shaking off the effects the attack Mandarin used. "So you finally awake my little hairless monkey," a voice from in front of her said. She looked up and was met with the gaze of Mandarin. "AH!" Kira shrieked as she tried to get away from him, but the collar she was wearing prevented her from getting far. Mandarin watched in amusement at the scene, before finally speaking to her. "Why are you struggling so much? I don't bite." he said as he smirked. Kira stopped struggling and glared at Mandarin, but didn't say anything. Mandarin brought her over closer to his side and turned to the monitor, surveying the brain-washed and collared citizens of Shuggazoom.
"Look at the cowering citizens in the city, they tremble in our presence," Mandarin said as he smirked. "Why serve them when the Power Primate has given us superiority that trumps them all?" "It's because of our power that we have the ability to protect them! Why do we have these powers if we can't help others that can't help themselves?" Kira said softly as she looked at Mandarin. "You make your point, but we were granted power for a greater purpose than putting our very lives on the line for weaklings who wouldn't survive a day if we were not here! We were meant to rule Shuggazoom! Would you take your predestined rule, or would you rather Skeleton King take over and make those who you wish to protect into slaves?" Mandarin said.
"Well, when you put it that way, the better choice would be to take over and rule... At least then Skeleton King wouldn't be able to hurt anyone. But what about the people who we would force to accept us as their leaders? They wouldn't be too happy, and all I want is that for them, to be happy..." Kira trailed off. Mandarin chuckled as he said "You really are a benevolent being, aren't you? But you have yet to see the bigger picture. With the rule that we will bring, the citizens will learn to find happiness in it. In fact, with you ruling, you could make it so that they could be happy. You could make it so that they'll be protected from the threat of Skeleton King! What do you say?" Mandarin asked he smirked.
Kira tilted her head down in thought and her hair fell in front of her face, creating a shadow on it. When she finally lifted her head, the shadow was still there, but a faint smile was on her face.
"You made your point, too. I'd much rather it be me to rule Shuggazoom than let Skeleton King take over. I accept your offer.

"Ugh... Where are our monkeys?" Chiro said as he got up and looked up to see Kira sitting by him, hair covering her face as she turned her head to look at him.
"No! The proper question is, 'where are my monkeys?' !" Skeleton King exclaimed as Mandarin turned to see that Chiro was awake. "On route to your ship," Mandarin responded as he turned back to the image of Skeleton King. "Why aren't the children with them?" Skeleton King asked. Mandarin smirked as he said. "Our arrangement was only for the monkeys, I have plans for the children." He turned off the image of Skeleton King and levitated Chiro to his side, his eyes glowing red as he did so. "The citizens of Shuggazoom cower, they tremble in our presence." Mandarin said as Chiro glared at him. "We are meant for a greater purpose," Mandarin said as Chiro's scowl grew.
"You are angry, but you know I speak the truth. Why be their servant? When you can rule them all." Mandarin concluded. "Rule over Shuggazoom?" Chiro asked as his glare and scowl evaporated. "Or would you rather the Skeleton King did?" Mandarin said.
As this exchange was happening, Kira sat and listened to Mandarin give the same ultimatum that she was given, but she didn't speak a word. She didn't move, and if someone didn't know any better, they'd say it was almost like she wasn't breathing, either. Her face gave no reaction to Madarin's words, and she continued to watch for Chiro's answer.

Kira blocked Mandarin's attack by pulling up her Shadow Dome as Chiro spun towards Mandarin with his hands clenched, resembling an orange and brown tornado. It was a sparring session, a session that Mandarin wascurrently dominating. "The Sweeping Fist's Move, you learned that from Nova, and she learned it from me." Mandarin said before catching Chiro's fist and spinning him around, causing him to fall on the floor. Kira however saw an opening and leapt up to back kick him, a green aura emitting from her foot. However, is wasn't very effective seeing as how Mandarin blocked it. "Antauri's Feet of Fury, my brothers have taught you well." he said as he spun Kira around the green aura encasing her body for a moment before it dissipated altogether as she dropped onto the floor.
Chiro offered a hand to her, which she took as she stood up. "But I can teach you two more, my hairless monkeys," Mandarin said. "Mandarin!" Skeleton King yelled as the monkey in question turned his head to the image of Skeleton King. "Send the children to me," Skeleton King said as he looked down at the two siblings. "The monkeys will soon be yours as Shuggazoom is mine, as we agreed. They belong here! At my side," Mandarin responded. "As what? Reflections of yourself? You insolent fool," Skeleton King said. "A fool who captured to Robot Monkeys? A fool that took control of the city?! You underestimate me!" Mandarin exclaimed. "You underestimate the children," Skeleton King retorted as he pointed to Chiro pulling on Mandarin's glove, cutting off his and Kira's collars and the clothes Mandarin had given to him.
Chiro then threw the glove into a button, destroying it and making an alarm go off as he ran to an opening that was quickly closing, with Kira running after him a second later. However, that second was all it took for the opening to close when she was right in front of it, causing her to skid and stop. Mandarin levitated over to her, furious.
"You insolent little-!" "I'm sorry." Kira said as she turned to face Mandarin. "What?" Mandarin said as he looked down at her. The girl looked up at him with an apologetic smile and said "I tried to catch him so he wouldn't get away. I guess I'm just not a fast-enough runner yet, so I'm sorry I let him get away. It's a shame, too. I wanted to rule Shuggazoom beside Chiro, and you of course, Master Mandarin." Kira said as she sighed.
Mandarin had a shocked look on his face as he let the words sink in, the look disappearing into a smirk as he said "It is alright, my little hairless monkey. You will get another chance to convince your brother later."
Kira nodded as she walked over to the monitor, witnessing Chiro escape in a ship. Mandarin growled, banging his fists in frustration. "The boy will come back with his monkeys, and with my help, you will be ready for them." Skeleton King said. "I do not need your charity!" Mandarin growled as he deactivated his thrown glove and pulled it on. "Then a gift. Five gifts," Skeleton King said as his scepter glowed. Kira raised a brow in question before five large Formless, all a color of a member on the Monkey Team. She widened her eyes and turned to Mandarin, giving him a soft smile, to which he returned with an enthusiastic grin.
"I accept." Mandarin said.

Chiro broke into the chamber that held all the monkeys, pressing a button that released all the monkeys from a pink aura that seemed to be holding them in place. "Anybody seen some monkeys about, ye big?" Chiro asked as he walked over to the Team. "Atta boy, kid!" Sprx said. "We knew we could count on you!" Nova exclaimed. "Of course when Nova said 'we knew' she means that by calculating the probabilities of a rescue due to your training, statistically we could assume that-" "We could count on you!" Otto shouted. "Wait a minute, where is Kira?" Antauri asked as he looked at Chiro.
.
.
.
.
"Skeleton King's prediction comes to be, the boy returns, his monkeys with him," Mandarin said as he and Kira watched the sonar. "Sprx is at the helm." Mandarin said gleefully. "Arriving any moment now," Mandarin said as he leaned forward. Suddenly, Mandarin pulled back in shock. "Master?" Kira said. "What is he doing?! I didn't teach him that," Mandarin said. "Master, watch out!" Kira yelled as she saw a part of the HOOP coming towards them. She leapt in front of Mandarin and yelled "Shadow Dome!" Her dome softened the impact, but since it was put up at the last second, both she and Mandarin were pushed back. The door to the part of the HOOP Sprx had been piloting opened, the Team and Chiro jumping out of it. "Kira! What are you doing?!" Chiro yelled as he saw Kira standing next to Mandarin.
"What does it look like I'm doing Chiro?" Kira said as she tilted her head, smiling cutely. Mandarin then growled at the sight of the Team, and shouted "Hyper-Formless! Appear!" And the previously mentioned Hyper-Formless formed behind Mandarin and Kira. "Hyper-Formless?! That is so messed u[!" Nova exclaimed. "Hyper Force, go!" Chiro exclaimed. As the battle started, Kira was standing to the side, not doing anything.
As Chiro fought Mandarin, he saw Kira and yelled "How could you do this, Kira?! How could you betray the Team like this?!" Kira smiled as she said "I didn't betray you! I'm just trying to get across what I'm trying to accomplish." Kira's smile slightly grew into a smirk. "And what's about to happen is what you all deserve..."
"Dark-"
"Kira, no!"
"Stop!"
"Impalement!"
Chiro and the Team braced for the attack... but it never came. As they all looked up, the did a double-take in shock. Kira had used the attack, all right. But she had trapped both the Hyper-Formless and Mandarin within the black spikes. They all looked over to Kira, who was still holding up the attack, and she softly smiled as she said "Surprise." The Team and Chiro smiled in relief and smiled back.
Mandarin, however, was not amused. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" he screeched as he and the Hyper-Formless thrashed around in their temporary makeshift prison. "I thought it was kinda obvious, I tricked you!" Kira said, smiling. "WHAT?!" Mandarin shouted. "While you were busy trying to talk me into ruling Shuggazoom and being allies with you, I thought up a plan to find out what you and Skeleton King were planning. I let Chiro go on purpose, so he could rescue the others. I was going to go with him, but I decided to let him get away, so I could learn about what your plan was on attacking the others." Kira smirked as she finished. She then turned her head to the readers.
"Hello, fanfic readers! I hope you liked my little plan! There were actually hints the author left hinting that something else was happening! Such as my face having a shadow over my face and you guys not being able to read my thoughts! Enjoy the rest of the chapter!" she said as she broke the fourth wall.
"Anyway," Kira said as she turned her head back to the scene before her, "My move isn't going to last much longer, so I'll tell you whatyou need to do!" she shouted. What the girl said was proven true, as the spikes were dissipating. "The Hyper-Formless are programmed with all your moves, except for the ones he doesn't know about!" Kira said as the spikes were finally down, and she dropped to one knee. "What?!" Mandarin shouted. 'Wow, he really likes shouting "What!" a lot,' Kira thought. "Thanks, Kira! Monkey Team! New moves, go!" Chiro said.
"Vertical Razor Chariot!"
"Gyro-Roll!"
"Knuckle Duster!"
"Bio-Static Energy Amp-" "Gibson!" "Oh, very well. Spin Shocker!"
"Mega-Monkey Paw!"
"Whoa!" Kira gasped.
"Give up, Mandarin! You're outnumbered!" Chiro said. "Am I?" Mandarin questioned before his transmitters came out of the bandages that confined them, causing all of the Monkeys to fall over, all except for Otto. "A little back-door I planted in the Robot Monkey operating system, long ago. The big shut-down, I'm afraid!" Mandarin said as he kicked Otto over.
"No," Kira whispered as a distraught look came over her face. Chiro scowled as he shouted "Monkey-Fu!" and attacked Mandarin, throwing him out of one of the HOOP's walls(?). Kira leapt down to aid her brother, and faced off with Mandarin. When Mandarin tried to swipe at Kira, she simply fell to the ground to let Chiro kick Mandarin away. "Heh, just made that up," Chiro said as he helped up Kira, and together they glared down at Mandarin. "This is your last chance, children. Look at them down there! You two are better than any human!"
"You're wrong, we're the same." Kira said before she and Chiro tilted their heads up and smiled. "Except for one thing, we've got five Super Robot Monkeys backing us up!" Chiro said as he smirked. Mandarin turned his head in shock as the Team flew towards the three. "We re-programmed that back-door a long time ago. All you did was reboot our systems," Antauri said before the Monkeys attacked Mandarin. "Monkey Mind Scream!" Antauri shouted as he knocked Mandarin onto his back from the attack. "You're going back to sleep, Mandarin." Chiro said. "One day you will find out how much more you are. But for now," Mandarin said before cutting off a piece of the platform the two siblings were on, causing them to fall rapidly to the ground, but thankfully the Monkeys caught them. "You two defeated him!" Antauri said. "We defeated him," Kira said as the collars fell off the citizens of Shuggazoom, and the crowd began to cheer.
.
.
.
.
'But, did we really defeat him? Mandarin got away, which means he'll probably come back again to try and take over Shuggazoom,' Kira thought as she sat down on her bed. She then shook her head as she started to pet Kage. 'No, I can't think like that! Besides, he did run away instead of fighting us, so that has to mean something, right?'
And that's the end of the two-parter!
