Hey everybody! Darksage95 here. The previous chapter is the prologue and NOT chapter 1. This one is Chapter 1. The locations that I will use in this chapter are real, however they are locations that I have visited. Also, there will be some locations that are made up in this story, just to make it more interesting. Anyway, Disclaimer: I do not own Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! Just the characters that I created. Thank you and enjoy.

"Um guys…? I don't think we're on Shuggazoom anymore…" Chiro quavered.

All of the monkeys stared at the computer screen in shock. Chiro was right, there were not in their home city anymore. Instead of the usual square that the robot is based in, the ship is towering over a forest, which is bordered next to a local highway.

Otto let out a guilty chuckle. "Well…at least we know the machine works."

"Great!" Sprx yelled in frustration. "Just great! If we're not in Shuggazoom anymore, then where are we!?"

Antauri looked behind him and at his red colored brother. "A valid question Sprx. We appear to be in a planet that is very similar to ours. However, cannot deduce the identity of this world until we get a better view of it."

"Then let's head to space," Chiro said. The Monkey team hurried over to their meeting area, which also served as the nearby control for the robot. The group sat down in their respective seats and started maneuvering the robot.

Outside, the robot spread its arms apart and the rockets jutted from its smooth gray back. The blue flames from the boosters erupted and the machine rocketed into the atmosphere. Even though the robot flew faster than a normal space shuttle, nothing could stop the humans from witnessing the launch. The drivers and passengers watched in shock as a humanoid ship flew from the edge of the highway and into the sky. Screams, awes, and a lot of cuss words can be heard from within the cars. Some of the humans even had their handheld devices handy. Like people do nowadays when something out of the ordinary happens, the humans bring out their cameras out and start videotaping or taking pictures of the entire event. Other people in the nearby counties saw the entire event and did the same thing.

After a few minutes of flying, the robot finally made it into the vastness of space. The Monkey team was also careful as to not hit any of the satellites floating above the planet. Once the ship was far enough away from the planet, Chiro maneuvered it to make it turn around. The robot now faced the new world.

The Monkey team stared at the planet in awe. This world was covered in both land and water. On the north and southern poles were ice caps, so white that they looked like regions of eternal winter. The land was colored in different hues of green and brown, representing the various climates. The wisps of clouds moved slowly along the surface of the planet. Even the water showed its magnificence with its deep blue hue.

"Wow…this planet is…so full of life!" Nova commented with her mouth agape. "Our home is nowhere near as beautiful as this one."

Gibson, who had already admired the planet for a minute or so, rushed over to the front controls. He pressed a few buttons on the keypad and some side computer boxes appeared, which showed the various facts about the planet. Because the robot was far enough away from the world, Gibson was able to narrow down a definitive match on the planet from the robot's database.

"According to the database, this planet is filled with all sorts of organisms, all of which are adapted to the various regions on this planet. There are creatures in the sea, the sky, and on the land, along with humans, which are the most populous on the planet. The planet is also varied with different weather systems, seasonal climate changes, and wind patterns-"Gibson examined.

"Gibson, just tell us the name of the planet," Sprx said impatiently.

The blue monkey turned around and glared at him for interrupting his analysis. Gibson let out a cough and returned to the screen. "From what I can deduce from the database, this planet is called Earth."

Antauri closed his eyes in deep thought. "I see. I'm not sure if any of you remember this, but we did come across this same planet when we destroyed the One Dark Worm."

"Yeah you're right Antauri," the boy looked at him then back at the screen. "This was the same planet that we saved a while back."

"Except it's not," the blue monkey up front added while scrolling through the various information on the screen. "Don't forget, we are also in a different dimension. This planet has not encountered Skeleton King or the One Dark Worm before. Or us in that matter."

"Well now that we're up here, might as well get back to Shuggazoom," Sprx shrugged his shoulders.

"But, we're not even in our own dimension," Otto told him.

"I know, but it's worth a shot right? If this planet exists in this and our dimension, then Shuggazoom should too. We're not on the same plane, but might as well give it a shot."

"Hm…" Chiro thought about that for a minute. "Gibson, see if you can get a lock on our home's coordinates."

Another screen, this time one showing the Milky Way which transitioned over to a similar galaxy, popped up. The red circle which represented the coordinate lock, searched widely around the cream colored swirl. The Monkey team waited anxiously for the coordinates to lock in that galaxy. After a few minutes, the screen showed a gigantic red X and a deep set of beeps blared three times.

Gibson let out a gasp then let out a monkey scream when the blares sounded.

"Gibson! What's wrong?" the boy asked him while watching the screen in confusion.

"The robot can't get a lock on our home planet!"

"Maybe the satellites over planet Earth are interfering with the signal?" Otto wondered.

"No Otto…it's not the planet's satellites at all," the blue monkey shook his head.

Antauri frowned and stared at Gibson. The scientists turned around and stared at the silver monkey. Gibson watched his brother and he nodded, letting him know that they are thinking of the same thing.

"Wait a sec," Sprx started to freak out. "Brainiac, are you trying to say that-?"

"Yes Sprx," Gibson nodded gravely.

Antauri stood up and faced the entire team in front of the gigantic screen.

"The robot not locating our home planet on this plane can only mean one thing…Shuggazoom does not exist in this dimension."

Except for Antauri and Gibson, the entire team was taken aback by this shocking discovery. If it weren't for the backing on the seats, they would all be falling backwards by now.

"Great! So until that invention of yours gets fixed, we're stuck in this universe!"Sprx once again complained.

"Exactly," the blue warrior confirmed.

He then started typing away again and examined the planets and other galaxies nearby the Milky Way. After a few minutes of searching, he turned around to face the team, showing a disappointed expression.

"And that's not all. The nearby planets and galaxies are either inhospitable or support only the most well-adapted life forms. This planet is the only one that does not fall into that category."

Chiro let out a sigh of regret. "So we're not going anywhere…let's just head back to that planet."

With that said, the team made the robot fly back towards the previous location they were in. Knowing that their very appearance would surprise the inhabitants, the team operated the robot to go into stealth mode. On the outside, the Super Robot seemingly disappeared and blended with the surroundings. After flying for a few minutes, the Team lands in the outskirts of the city they had just seen, this time on the other side, where there weren't a lot of humans. The robot landed atop a large hill, which overlooked the city and was also bordered next to a river. The river was brown in color, showing the sediment that would float to the surface every now and then. On the other side of the river was what seemed to be a local park, which was filled with lots of children and their parents flocking around a wooden playground.

The team disembarks from their ship through the hidden door at the robot's right foot. Once through, they all shield their eyes from the sun because of its brightness. In a moment, their sight adjusted. The last one to arrive was Chiro, who was now in his powered up form.

"Okay, we've landed. So now what?" Sprx asked his leader, who was right next to him.

"Let's head out to the city. Maybe we can find some needed supplies there. And perhaps the needed parts for the transporter too," the boy ordered.

The monkeys nodded and took off into the sky with the built in jetpacks they had. Chiro brought his as well and followed after them. Thankfully, nobody noticed the six airborne warriors above them or the now hidden gigantic robot in the area.

A local café in the city…

A certain dark-haired teenage girl was relaxing in her favorite café and reading her new favorite novel in her Kindle. She had just finished her lunch, which consisted of lemon-pepper cod with a side of mini lobster tails, and was now on the verge of finishing her current chapter. She was glad that none of the sauce got onto her outfit, which was a sea-green, laced V neck shirt with a white tank top and blue knee length shorts. The girl also wore some jewelry too, which consisted of a low double ringed necklace and the same design on the earrings. She was inside the restaurant, sitting next to one of the high tables, and not paying any mind to the bustling noise going on around her.

It was mid-August, which meant that summer's end was coming. She knew that had significance, as the end of August also meant the start of her freshman year in college. In two and a half weeks' time, she would become one member of the incoming freshman of the 2013-2014 school year. This both excited the girl and depressed her at the same time. She was excited because she would now be independent and be able to live on her own and depressed because she did not want summer to end. Although she hates the thought of school, she knew that going through college is the only way to secure her future.

A waiter walked up to her and placed a black checkbook on the table. The young adult looked up from her book and stared at the checkbook. She then looked back at the waiter, who was looking at her with a smile. Her waiter was a fine young man; tall, short blonde hair, blue eyes, wore a stiff white shirt and apron, and looked to be in his late twenties.

"Alright ma'am. Here's your receipt and your credit card back," he told her.

The girl returned the smile and retrieved her credit card and her receipt from the book. She put the receipt, the card, and her small Kindle into her shoulder purse and stepped off of the stool.

"Thank you sir," she thanked him after slinging the purse across her shoulder.

"Okay you have a great day."

"Thanks. You too," she said and walked away.

The girl walked out of the restaurant and into the sunlight. The heat hit her as soon as she stepped out. She tried not to look up at the sun, as doing so would most likely make her sneeze. The girl was petite, being only a little under five feet. Size comparison did not bother her at all, as long as no one made any insulting comments about her.

She looked from left to right and inspected her surroundings. On both sides of the street were a mix of shops and restaurants. When she arrived at the restaurant, not a lot of people were around as the street shops were just opening up. Now the street had a number of tourists and locals that were out spending the day in the city. The traffic was okay, as in the cars were not kissing each other's bumpers or anything.

As soon as she turned to the right to walk away from the seafood restaurant, a sound erupted from within the girl's purse. She looked down to the left and unzipped the second pocket. She took out her phone, which was a T-Mobile smartphone and inspected who was calling. Above the black and green screen was Candace, one of her closest friends from high school. The girl pressed the green call button and put it next to her ear.

"Hello?" she greeted.

"Lorraine! Good, you picked up," Candace sighed in exasperation.

"Candace? Are you okay? You're gasping a lot. Did you run a mile or something?" Lorraine asked her best friend as she started walking up the street.

"No. I didn't. But I just saw something on the news that you are not going to believe!"

"What? What is it?" she asked her in wonder.

"I just sent you a text message. Check it ou- Whoa! Talk about a major case of paparazzi!"

Lorraine stopped and arched an eyebrow. "Say what now?"

"Just check your messages! I'll call you back later. I gotta check this out!"

"Candace!" she yelled into the phone.

The call went flat and no sound came from the speaker. Lorraine pulled the phone away and pressed the end call button. The screen went black first then to a keypad with a background of a valley. The young adult punched in her password and the screen switched to the main menu. When she did, the phone pinged, showing a new message alert on the message app at the bottom of the screen. Lorraine pressed the option and the message inbox appeared.

Lorraine looked through the messages and found the most recent message from her friend. The message had an attachment with it. When she pressed on it, she saw that it was a CNN news link. Thankfully, she had broadband, so she pressed on the link with her thumb. It only took mere moments for the screen to transition over to the news website. She pressed on the video on the screen and the video played out.

On the screen was a young woman with short natural colored hair. She appeared to be in her mid-thirties and wore a professional red suit. Even though her name appeared on the bottom of the screen, Lorraine did not care about that kind of information. All she cared about was what freaked her best friend out.

"Now for something completely rare and also unexpected on the news. Just about thirty minutes ago, a strange aircraft was seen flying over Cincinnati and up into space. The aircraft was first seen standing next to the I-75 highway, overlooking the city. No one knows how or when it got there, but its sudden appearance has shocked everyone. This…UFO does not appear to be your typical flying saucer. According to some witnesses, the ship was in the shape of a giant robot."

"Giant robot? Wha?" Lorraine uttered those words and furrowed her eyebrows at this news story.

"While a number of witnesses did not have any cameras handy, some of them did. Here is just one of the videos we just received."

The screen transitioned to a video that was obviously captured by an iPhone. The picture was clear, but the sound quality was bad. The highway background was moving fast, most likely because the witness was riding in his or her car. The camera was moving a lot, recording various parts of the inside of the car. In the video, there was a lot of screaming and cussing from girls. The witness was yelling indistinctively at her friends, telling them to stop yelling at her so that she could record properly.

There was a lot of movement and the camera was facing the base of the left window. The recorder adjusted and the camera was now looking at the forest on the side. Lorraine gasped and covered her mouth at what she was seeing. Rocketing straight into the sky and out of the forest was a square-headed robot. The robot raised its arms up like Superman and zoomed out of view in a split second with the booster rockets on its back. The video was short, being only about forty-five seconds long, but it was enough to convince anyone of the sighting.

Lorraine trembled. She has seen a lot of videos on UFO's, but this one definitely takes the cake. Not only was it legitimate and recent, but it was also being broadcasted on a world renowned news network. However, that was not the only thing that surprised her. To Lorraine, there was something about that robot that looked eerily familiar.

"That robot…why does it look so familiar?" Lorraine questioned the video in confusion.

The screen returned to the news reporter. On the top right of the screen was a still image of the robot flying. The newswoman remained calm on the camera, but Lorraine could tell that there was some slight skepticism on her face.

"A number of witnesses now say that aliens are now invading our planet. Others say that the government is performing some top secret assignment. Skeptics claim that this video was done by some teenagers, meant to attract the attention of the public, and is therefore a hoax. More detailed information on this report will be talked about tonight at 7. This is Brenda Hayworth on CNN news."

The video ended and Lorraine closed the link, returning the screen to the main menu. The girl stood there, shocked and processing the new information. A small family just walked around her and did not pay any mind to the still citizen.

Lorraine put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. She pictured the image of the robot in her head and thought hard.

"I've seen that robot before. But…where have I seen it?"

Suddenly, the girl heard yelling in the distance. She put her hand down and looked forward. The yells were coming from a large group of people, which was coming down this way fast. Most of the tourists heard the same thing and ran up the street, wanting to get a good look at what was going on. As for Lorraine, she stayed where she was and waited, knowing that whatever was coming would come her way. The other people rushed to that right direction and the block emptied, until she was seemingly the only one there.

She squinted at the distant street and saw something coming towards her fast. It only took a few moments for whatever it was to take shape. From what she could see, it was a group of people with six members. Until they got closer, Lorraine widened her eyes. The group was definitely something out of the ordinary. Running towards her was a boy in his late teens and five monkeys.

The black-haired boy wore a white buttoned suit with orange gloves, black shoes, an orange scarf, and a white mask with orange stripes under his eyes. On both of his sides were a group of monkeys, each of them in a different color.

When she first saw the monkeys, Lorraine thought they had escaped from the zoo and the boy was trying to retrieve them. It wasn't until she looked again that she was wrong. She saw that these were no ordinary monkeys. Three of them had large black eyes while one had pink eyes and another had blue. The monkeys also had metal arms, hinged legs, and metal tips on their tails.

Lorraine smacked her face with one hand in order to wake herself up. The pain felt real and a red mark appeared on her face for a moment. She looked at the incoming group again and performed the same action. When Lorraine looked, they were still coming. After the third smack, she took one final good look at them and widened her eyes in realization. That boy in the costume, those strange monkeys, that robot in the news! The pieces are now coming together.

"Oh my god…I…I've seen them before!" she covered her mouth to prevent them from hearing.

"Hey! You're the-!" Lorraine was about to utter their name when they just zoomed past her. The boy and the monkeys' scream faded as they passed by her.

When they did, the girl looked forward again and heard another group coming. This time, it was larger and yelling was louder. Lorraine squinted her eyes again and saw that it was a large group of people with cameras and camera phones. They looked excited and some were even determined to try to get to the front of the crowd. It was at that moment that Lorraine understood what was happening. She looked back at them saw the group round a corner into an alley on the right. Lorraine crossed to the other side of the street and ran the two blocks. Once she was close to the alley, she stopped, took her Kindle out, leaned against the wall, and pretended to read. Lorraine stared at the page she had just finished and pretended nothing had happened.

By the time the crowd got to that part of the street, they stopped started looking around. Their yells died down and turned into questions on where they went. Lorraine glanced at them for a moment before returning her gaze back onto her novel. She did not notice it, but one person had just walked up to her.

Through her peripheral vision, she saw a middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt and khakis walk up to her. She pretended to ignore him and at the same time, not look at his sense of fashion.

"Excuse me miss," the old man said.

Lorraine slowly lowered her Kindle and looked at the man inexpressively. "Yes?"

"Have you by any chance seen a boy about your age and five monkey robots around here by any chance?" he asked her in a polite manner, despite the fact that he was gasping from all that running.

"Yes. Yes I have," she nonchalantly told him.

"Could you please tell me where they went?"

Lorraine kept her face straight and turned her head down the street on her right. She pointed a thumb at that direction with her arm bent.

"See that intersection down there? They rounded that corner to the left," she lied.

The man patted her shoulder hard and smiled. "Thank you."

He then turned around, yelled at the group, and pointed at the closest intersection. "They went that way!"

As soon as they heard him, the mob rushed over to the intersection and rounded to the left. The man, who was still tired from all that running, lingered close behind them. Lorraine watched as the crowd quickly disappeared into that corner.

The girl smirked, seeing that her plan worked. She turned the Kindle off, put it back into her bag, and proceeded until she was staring straight into the darkness of that one alley. Lorraine folded her arms over her chest and called out in a casual, yet sly tone.

"I know you're here. You guys can come out now," she called out into the dirty alleyway.

15 minutes earlier…

The Monkey team quietly walked down the city street. All of them were observing the architecture of the buildings, the people, and the shops around them. Chiro, who was still in his powered form, was staring straight ahead for any danger along with Antauri and Nova. Otto was observing the vast items displayed on the shop windows and occasionally pressing his face on them to get a better view. Doing so attracted the customers inside the shops. In the back of the group, Sprx had his eyes closed and his arms folded behind his head for support. As for Gibson, he was eyeing the people they were passing by, worried that their presence there might trigger something.

The Monkey team did not notice, but they were attracting a lot of attention from the passersby even though they weren't doing anything. Well…except for the green monkey maybe. Some people were too busy to notice them as they were either busy on their phones, talking to other people next to them, or just ignoring them.

"Wow…there are a lot of shops here!" Otto yelled in glee as he went from shop window to shop window.

"Stop it Otto…" Gibson warned after staring at a group of business men that had just passed them, who had taken a few seconds of their time to stare at the monkeys before leaving. "You're attracting attention!"

"Gibson's right. No fooling around," Chiro warned too. "We're not sure what this planet has in store for us. And whatever you do, don't try to attract anyone's attention."

Right when he said that, Otto groaned in disappointment and pulled away from the window. He rejoined his comrades and they continued to walk down the street.

Just then, a middle aged man wearing a plaid shirt walked up next to him. The boy looked to his left and saw the elder. The man looked sweet, but Chiro could tell that there was something off about him. The leader stopped walking and so did his team. The man looked down at him, eyed the monkeys, then back at the boy.

"Excuse me young sir. I did not know there was a circus in town. Are you and your monkeys part of one by any chance?"

"Uh…" Chiro stammered. "No sir. We're not. We're just passing by is all."

Just when he said that, a group of teenaged boys had walked up to him too and started observing the monkeys with incredulous eyes. These boys both had short cropped brown hair and wore green and blue polo shirts. They were also about Chiro's age and stood a few inches above him.

"Whoa! Check out these robot monkeys!" One of them said to his friend.

"Yeah! They're in different colors," the boy in the blue shirt said next. He then touched Sprx's tail and started playfully shaking it around. "They even have fur too. I wonder what factory they came from. Or better yet, what toy store."

The red monkey's expression turned from relaxation to annoyance. He grumbled something first then yanked his tail away from the boy's hand. The boys backed up a step and watched as the angry monkey stared at them in the face. Sprx balled his paws into fists and started yelling at them.

"Hey! I'd really appreciate it if nobody touches the tail!"

"Whoa! These monkeys can talk!" the boy in green shouted.

When he did that, the entire crowd around them gathered around them in a tight semicircle. Soon, about thirty citizens were looking at them in curiosity. All of the monkeys, including Chiro, crowded tightly as if they were about to get into a battle. Around them, the passersbys commented and stared in amazement at the strange monkeys.

Nova turned to the red monkey next to her and smacked the back of his head with her tail. Sprx recoiled in pain and held his head while trying not to look at the angry yellow monkey.

"Nice going Sprx! You've succeeded in attracting everyone's attention!"

The red monkey argued back, trying to defend himself. "I succeeded? That kid was grabbing my tail and it was fricking annoying!"

Antauri, who was still standing next to Chiro, turned to them and gave them a stern look. "Nova, Sprx, now is not the time to argue!"

Sprx growled. "Kid, I hope you have a plan!"

Right when he said that, the humans began taking out their cameras and phones from their pockets and purses. When they did, they began taking pictures of the monkey team. The group was now surrounded by curious humans and flashing lights from the cameras.

"Yeah give me a second!"

Gibson was thinking of a plan to when he noticed his green brother go in front of him. To his embarrassment, Otto was going into different poses in front of those cameras! Gibson's mouth dropped and a nerve popped on his head.

"Otto! What do you think you're doing!?"

Chiro and the others heard that and stared down at their comrade, who had just struck a Thinker pose and then a ballerina pose.

"What? They're taking pictures! And the cameras love me," he said, giving a cute puppy eyes look at the cameras. The humans cried out in more oohs and awes.

"Otto! Get back here!" Chiro cried. The monkey looked back at him and retreated back to his group.

"Chiro! They're getting closer!" Antauri warned him.

Indeed, the crowd of humans were getting closer to them with their cameras. Back on Shuggazoom, they did receive the usual cheers and greetings from the townsfolk, but this one was way out of hand! These humans were looking at them as if they were some part of a circus act! Every step they took towards them, the team got even more nervous.

"Kid!" Sprx yelled while narrowly avoiding a hug from a little blonde girl. "Any day now!"

Chiro gulped and finally gave out the only order and thought he had.

"RUN!" he yelled.

As soon as he said that, the Monkey team fled from the area. Chiro ran as fast his legs could take him while the robot monkeys ran on all fours. The mob of humans behind them were running too, trying to get pictures of them and calling them to come back. Of course, the more they did, the more frightened the team got.

The team screamed and ran down the street for the next ten minutes. They were faster than the crowd behind them, but not for long. Slowly, their limbs began to tire from running so much. As they went on, more humans saw them pass by and they joined the crowd of curious citizens. The buildings and cars blurred past them as they ran. When they reached further down the street, the people ahead started to thin out until there were seemingly no more humans in sight. They even passed by a local seafood restaurant and failed to notice a certain black-haired girl eye at them. She tried to call to them but was interrupted as they zoomed past her. Chiro narrowed his eyes and noticed a place that might help them escape.

"Quick! Into that alley!" he called to the team.

They arrived at that one alley Chiro spoke of and rounded that corner. The alley was dirty as it was full of garbage and litter. There was a large dumpster on the left side and a huge pile of full trash bags on the other. The alley was dirty, but at least it was dark, perfect for hiding them from the crowd. Chiro, Gibson, and Antauri hid behind the full trash bags while Nova, Sprx, and Otto opened the lid of the dumpster and hid in there.

Chiro and Gibson could smell the stench from the trash bags and wanted to hurl. However, since they were trying to hide from a large group of people that feeling was kept on hold. As for the monkeys in the dumpster, they weren't having such a great time. Sprx and Nova were on opposite corners of one side of the dumpster and sitting on their butts while Otto was flat on his stomach. Their masks were mostly made for underwater missions and using them here would not serve very well as their masks would only convert the stink in the air into something even worse they would breathe in. Nova and Sprx covered their snouts but Otto did not. Otto sniffed at a three day old tray full of nachos that had spilled out of one of the white trash bags. His face turned even greener and he stuck his tongue out in disgust.

"Ew…gross!" Otto complained.

Sprx used his right foot to kick Otto hard in the butt. The green monkey cried out in pain as a response.

"Quiet! Do you want to blow our cover!" he yelled at the monkey.

"Excuse me miss," the old man from before called.

Nova and Otto pressed their attenaes against the wall of the dumpster to listen for the conversation. Outside, Chiro, Gibson, and Antauri listened in on the conversation too. Chiro even had to put his hand on his mouth to quiet his breathing.

"Yes?" a girl said from nearby the alley.

"Have you by any chance seen a boy about your age and five monkey robots around here by any chance?"

All of them held their breath and waited for the response to either give them away or save them. Chiro readied himself for the moment where he would tell his team to run.

"Yes, yes I have."

Chiro widened his eyes and looked at Antauri. The silver monkey stared at him and did not say anything. From all the times he had spent with the second-in-command, Chiro knew that was his way of saying 'not yet'.

"Could you please tell me where they went?"

The boy looked around the alley to find an alternative escape route. He looked down to the far right and noticed a set of winding stairs that led to the roof of the building next to them. He was about to give his order to run when he heard an unexpected response.

"See that intersection down there? They rounded that corner to the left," the girl told the man.

Chiro slowly let out a breath and sighed in relief. As soon as the man let the others in the crowd know of the false directions, Chiro backed up against the bags again and kept quiet. On the street, they could hear the various yells pass by them and disappear around the intersection nearby. As soon as it got quiet, Chiro's group slowly peeked from behind the bags to see if they were really gone. The other three monkeys in the dumpster did the same thing, where Nova opened the lid to inspect the place. When she did that, Otto lay halfway out of the dumpster and took in the slightly cleaner air. Like before, his face was even greener and his tongue still stuck out in disgust.

"I think they're gone Chiro," Nova told him after looking from left to right.

"Yeah," the boy agreed and was about to tell them to move out.

"Wait," Antauri said and closed his eyes. The rest of the team looked at him and saw him outstretch a hand out at the alley opening. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and put his hand down.

"Someone's coming," he said.

When he said that, the team returned to their hiding places to wait for whoever was coming to pass. They heard footsteps approach and all held their breaths again. Instead of the footsteps continuing passed the alley, they stopped in the middle. Chiro gulped because he knew that the person was standing in front of that alley now. The Monkey team nearly jumped in surprise when the person started talking.

"I know you're in here. You guys can come out now."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After a minute of silence, and watching a crumpled piece of paper fly out of the alley, Lorraine rolled her eyes. She should have expected it too. These guys must have had a pretty hard first hour in the city. The girl smirked and walked a step forward with her arms still over her chest.

"Aw come on. I just saved you guys from the paparazzi. Is this the thanks that I get?"

She waited another minute for a response. Fortunately, she did not have to wait that long as a deep voice erupted from the dumpster next to her.

"Guys…I really need to breathe…"

Lorraine smirked when she heard a voice from the dumpster. She then heard a definitive clang from within. She knew that whoever said that got smacked.

"Ow!" the voice cried out in pain.

The girl got closer to the dumpster and, with one hand still over her chest, used the other to knock on the lid of the dumpster. It was a hard knock too, enough to make the monkeys inside scream in surprise.

"If you're suffocating in there, then might I suggest opening the lid?"

Chiro smacked his forehead when he heard his teammates give their position away. Nervously, he slowly appeared from behind the bags. Gibson and Antauri did the same and observed the newcomer standing in front of the dumpster.

After Lorraine knocked, the lid of the large garbage unit spread open, releasing the stench from inside and the red, yellow, and green monkeys. The red and yellow one stared at the green one in disappointment, who had laid on the edge of the dumpster and breathed in the air like before.

"Ah…that's better," Otto sighed in satisfaction.

The human let out a yelp in surprise. The monkeys inside turned to her and eyed her cautiously. They stared at the human, whose eyes were beaming and a grin was etched on her face. This girl was small, about an inch shorter than their leader. She had short black hair, wore a green laced V-neck shirt with a white tank top, had some jewelry on, tan skin, wore skinny jeans, and had sneakers on.

"Oh my gosh! You guys can talk!"

"Yeah, we can!" Sprx said sarcastically. "Now please do us a favor and buzz off. We've already been chased by some paparazzi and we don't really want to encounter any more fans right now."

"What!?" she screamed in surprise.

"Sprx wait," Antauri calmly told him.

The red monkey crossed his arms and huffed. Lorraine turned around and stared at the silver monkey in between the strange boy and the blue monkey. Antauri closed his eyes and outstretched a hand at her. For a moment, there was silence and a quiet humming. Afterwards, he opened his eyes.

"This girl means us no harm."

Lorraine smiled at that. "Yeah, and I just saved your butts too. After all, I was the one that gave that mob the false directions."

"You were the one that did that?" Chiro asked her.

The girl turned to him and gave him a friendly nod. She then shrugged her shoulders.

"I mean, not everybody likes to get chased by the paparazzi," she explained.

"Well um…thanks. I'm Chi-" the boy was about to introduce himself but was interrupted by the girl.

"I know who you are."

Chiro lifted an eyebrow up and stared at her in confusion. "You do?"

The girl nodded again. "Yeah. You're Chiro. And you guys are the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force."
