Me: I'm on a roll, only one more chapter after this. I'm good, now let's roll.

Admitting Fears

Everything was silent as the knight walked out of the Super Robot and waited. There was a large gust of wind and a large creature landed in front of her. It looked like a dragon with really dark brown-gray fur. It had a pair of dark gray wings and bright yellow eyes with slits for pupils. The tail was bushy and had spikes all over it. The creature knelt before the knight and nuzzled her with its muzzle, causing the knight to pet her.

"Good girl, I assume you have some information for me." The creature nodded. "Excellent, everything is going according to plan."

The knight took the reins that were on the dragon wolf's head and mounted her, "Now let's go chase down the non-believers, my dragon wolf." And they took off.

With the others

"I'm scared, guys." Said Otto.

"I also find myself quite frightened." Stated Gibson.

Sprx sighed, "Come on, guys, we have to be strong for the kid. He needs us now more than ever."

The monkeys looked down at Chiro, who was curled into a ball fast asleep. The three of them had lain next to him, trying to keep the boy warm. While Chiro slept, they tried to come up with ideas, but they came up empty-handed. The silence terrified them all, but it was short-lived as a tremor shook the ground, waking Chiro.

"What's going on?" the drowsy boy yawned. "An earthquake?"

"No, this isn't natural. It seems to be coming large footsteps." Replied Gibson.

"Those footsteps have to belong to something really big to make this big of a tremor." Stated Sprx. That's when rocks began to rain down into the canyon.

"We have to get outta here before we get crushed!" cried Chiro as the four ran out of the open end of the canyon. Rocks covered the opening just as they escaped.

"Looks like we won't be going back in there again." commented Otto.

"We should get moving before the creature that caused this comes." Suggested Gibson.

Chiro began to walk, signaling for the others to follow. They trudged across the desert, the sun had set a while back and Gibson suspected that, with daylight savings, it was about 7:30 in the evening. Before Gibson could go into any long explanation, he spotted an extremely large hole in the ground. It looked to be about 50 by 100 feet and about 200 feet deep. Gibson knelt by the edge and examined it.

"Strange, this hole seems to have been dug recently, by a massive creature with large claws."

"Um…Gibson?"

"Not now Otto, I'm trying to figure out what kind of creature dug this hole."

"Big Brain…"

"Sprx, please refrain from using that infernal nickname."

"GIBSON!"

"What is it, Chiro?" Gibson exclaimed sourly, angry that his examination was interrupted.

"Look." Gibson looked at the other three. Their eyes were bulging out of their heads and their mouths were hanging open as they pointed behind their companion. Slowly, the blue monkey turned around, only to come face-to-face with two bright yellow eyes. It was the dragon wolf. Gibson screamed and ran to hide behind the others.

"G-Gibson, what is that thing?" Sprx stammered.

The blue monkey stuttered as he spoke, "I-I would s-speculate a cross b-breed between a dragon and a brown w-wolf."

The dragon wolf dove at them, but missed when they dodged. Chiro landed away from the others and heard a familiar voice.

"How do you like my pet, hyper force?" It was the knight on the creature's back.

Sprx was stupid enough to reply, "Not the kinda pet I would want, ya monster. And it's not very scary."

He was bluffing, of course, cause on the inside he was scared stiff. All the knight did was smirk before she spoke.

"But you haven't met my newest pet. Come out, my silver slave!"

The ground behind Chiro glowed purple before a figure arose from the ground. It kicked Chiro to the others before it revealed itself.

"Antauri!" the team cried.

Indeed it was the silver monkey, only his eyes had no pupils, he had a faint scar across his face, his claws flexed as a signal that he was ready to attack, and he had spikes down his back and tail.

"What did you do to him?" shouted Chiro.

"He is my zombie slave." The knight replied, dismounting off the dragon wolf, "And you will soon join him. ATTACK!"

Antauri and the dragon wolf lunged at the four hyper force members.

"Don't hurt, Antauri, but let's try to get rid of that monster in one try." whispered Chiro before they all separated, barely dodging their attackers. All four charged up their energy attacks and went above the creature, then let loose their attacks.

"Magno Ball Beam Splitter!"

"Spin Shocker!"

"Scritch Scratch Doom Thrower!"

"Monkey Fu!"

The force of the four attackes set the dragon/wolf into the nearby hole, but no one expected Antauri to strike them down, almost sending them over the edge of the hole. The crash and the shock paralyzed the hyper force. The knight advanced on them with Antauri by her side. As she walked, the knight drew her sword and spoke.

"For denying your fears, you have angered the spirits. Now it is time for you to be punished."

Her sword rose up, ready to strike. The four hyper force member held each other close.

"Guys, I want you to know that I've always been a little afraid of the dark." Otto whimpered.

"I've been afraid of hurting any of you while doing an experiment." Confessed Gibson.

"I've always been afraid of being alone." Said Chiro.

Sprx shuddered and spoke, "I've always been afraid of this holiday because it makes me think of losing you guys to the stupid undead."

With their fears admitted, they waited for the sword to strike. What happened next was unexpected…
