Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 15: He's Gone, Now I Kill

Jasmine's Point of View:

Mandy and Mandarin had followed us threw the magical portal and now were ready to face us in battle. We had little time to act so the others ran up to their stations with their blackest around them. We had no time to do anything different. The others and I got to our post and Cobi and June waited in the command center to repot anything that maybe of use to us or give us any help they can.

"Launch Mega Missiles!" I shouted. The robot's arms came to its sides and blasted missiles at their ship, most were block by their shield, but on was able to break threw hitting the side of the ship.

"We aren't doing much good kid!" Rover yelled at me.

"Lets try hitting them from multiple angels, split up team into groups, June and Cobi, hurry to the Torso Tank and strap in, it's going to get bumpy." I said. "We'll split into two groups, Annabel, you Rose and Gabriella, use the speed of your vehicles and sneak around the back of Mandarin's shield and shoot him down to the planet below. Rover and Olivia, you two stay with me and we'll make the cover fire here as a distraction.

The team quickly split up the robot, hidden by the smoke that appeared around us from the clashes of the battle. The air team flew off and us, the ground team stayed back and started to fire at their ship as we cleared the smoke.

Mandarin's ship came out of the smoke and fired its lasers at us. Being slower then the others vehicles, we had to raise our shields in order to protect ourselves. Their lasers did little damage as we prepared for the next strike of our own. We launched more missiles at them and the others fired lasers at them from behind. Their ship went down.

"Great job kid!" Rover shouted to me threw the communicator.

"Thanks, but we need to hurry after them, make sure their down. We can't just assume and leave when they might still be alive and fully able to kill. It would be a matter of time before they would come after us and others." I told them. "Hyper Force, after them." My team nodded and followed me into the smoky space as we raced toward the planet near by that Mandarin and Mandy had landed on.

Mandy's Point of View (Uh oh…):

I felt an enormous headache when I sat up in the rubble of what had once been my father's proud ship. Wait! We crashed? I jumped from my spot and looked around me. The planet was covered in rare mineral that had a blue glow to it. I tried to look over the rubble to find my father, but I was to short, wait, too short? I looked down at my body, it was no longer like that of a human, and I was a robot simian again. I sighed, relieved to have my old body back, and then ran to find my father.

I listened for him, called to him, none of these methods though did he reply. I rushed threw the rubble, looking for any sigh of him, that was until I saw his tail sticking out from under the rubble. I ran over to him and removed the rubble from over him.

"Daddy?" I asked him. He opened his eyes and looked up at me sadly.

He laughed, but it turned into a cough, blood coming from it too. "I guess this planet saved us from being killed, turning us back into our old selves, but I guess I wasn't as lucky as you my sweet Mandy." He told me. "I think its my time to go."

"No Daddy! Don't leave me like Momma did!" I cried, letting my head fall on his chest. He shaky like placed his hand on my cheek and lifted my head up to see him.

"Mandy, there is nothing more you can do for me, I've been dead for a long time, since you Momma died, but you kept me going. I'm sorry I have to leave you like this, but I have no choice. The great forces above us have chosen that I am to finally die, and you to be alone."

"Daddy.." I whispered, the tears pouring down my face. He slowly tried to dry them away, but his hands feel to his side. He coughed up more blood and his breathing became more heavy.

"Mandy, I have one last request of you, my dying wish." He told her, looking at the sky. "Kill the Hyper Force, all of them. I was after them all this time to avenge my fallen king, but now it's your turn to go after them to kill them, in my death, for revenge. I have nothing more to teach you but let all of your emotions go, let your dark side take over, and there, you find peace away from the darkness that haunts you. Run now from here, find a way off this rock and repair. Then when you're ready, kill them. I know you can do it my daughter. You have power that I could only dream of. Go now… their coming.." It was his final words before he fell and died, his flesh rotting off his body until all that was left was his bones and the armor.

I gazed upon my once father's body. The tears fell from my eyes and stung my face. I raced toward the ship and started to take the mini ship we had stored away, incase anything happened to Daddy's ship. I powered it up and blasted off along the surface of the planet until I was out of range of that interfering Super Robot's scanners. I then blasted off into space, the fire of hatred already burning deeply in my heart, like that of the once powerful Skeleton King's fire of hate that had been given to me a long time ago by my father. He's gone, now I kill.

Jasmine's Point of View:

The team and I landed quickly on the planet's surface. It was covered in a strange mineral that smelled horrible to me. I could see that Cobi and June agreed with me as they covered their noses while walking off the ship. I heard the team quickly come out from behind me and I heard Gabriella messing with a tracker in her hands.

"The there seams to be a mineral around here that seams to be the opposite of the Traversée de Changeante, what ever it does however, I would have to analyze further to find out the answer." I turned to her, shocked by what was before my eyes. Gabriella was no longer the human like robotic monkey she had been only a few minutes ago, with a blanket over her. She was now down to her old size and shape again. And it seams none of the others noticed yet either.

"Gabriella?" I asked her. She looked up at me. "You might want to take a look at this." I look a mirror that was in June pocket that I took from her and placed the mirror in front of Gabriella's face. For a moment, she was stunned.

"I'm.. back to.. normal?" She asked. I nodded and pointed back to the others too. She turned back to them, who were now looking over their bodies, back to the way they were before the Traversée de Changeante.

"That opposite compound of this planet's surface might reverse the power and transformation of the Traversée de Changeante." I told them. The team burst in joy at the though of being normal again, all but Rose who looked like she was going to cry.

"Don't cry Rose," June said. "We can buy clothes in your size that you can wear that will be even cuter then Jazz's."

Rose's brother placed one of his hands on her shoulder. "It's probably for the best sis. We shouldn't be messing around with that portal anyway." She sighed.

"I guess you guys are right. Let's go find her royal brattyness and her father the freak." The team and I turned to follow Gabriella as she led us threw the planet's paths of crystal roads. It was soon after that we found their ship, crashed and burned. We hurried over to the ship and found only one, deceased body, one that was of armor and bones, with blood stains all around.

"Is this…?" Olivia couldn't even finish her question already knowing her answer.

"Yes Olivia," Annabel said grimly. "This is the body of Mandarin. After all these years, his time has finally passed, and Mandy has taken over."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her. Annabel looked over at me sadly, a serous but scared look on her face.

"Mandarin's wish in life was to kill our family. Mandy's wish in life was to do anything her father wanted of her. When he dies, he passes on his quest to her as a dying wish, to see us and our family dying by her hands in the other world."

Chiro's Point of View (Three days later):

The team and I travel threw space, trying follow after the trail of the kids. Which was little to go on though, the last thing we had founds in reports was that the kids were spotted heading off toward some weird portal called the Traversée de Changeante. The team though advised that we go around it, and we did, but it took three days until we finally saw the end of it. When we got to the end, we saw a blue planet ahead. Gibson told us that the planet reversed the affects of the Traversée de Changeante, so we landed there on the unnamed planet, looking for any sighs of the kids.

We departed from the robot and walked around the planets surface for a while before we saw a crashed ship. We hurried over to it, thinking that maybe there was survivors. Boy, were we wrong. The only thing that was what appeared to be only alive was blood stained on the ground around a large pile of bones.

"What is it Gibson?" I asked him.

"This-" He paused, scared of his discovery.

"Out with it Gibson!" Sprx yelled at him. "What is it?"

"Not what, but who." He said. "This is the bones and armor of Mandarin." The team and I gasped. Antauri approached the dead monkey's bones, and looked at the power that still was attached to them.

"Gibson," he asked his friend sadly. "Is this true?"

"I'm afraid so Antauri." Gibson told him. "Mandarin's time has finally passed. This is what is left of his body after all the darkness that has corrupted him."

"Team." Antauri said sadly, bowing his head. "As dark as he became, he was still our leader and friend once a long time ago. Let us give our respects for his passing, and hope that he finds happiness in the after life." We all bowed our heads for Mandarin, the good side of him that they team missed, but at least he can't hurt anyone anymore.

Witch's Note:

Hey people! I know this was a quick chap, but it was all I could really think of, I planned Mandarin's death, but now we have to deal with Mandy. Also I know that most of you weren't happy with the change that the monkey's went threw and what they became, it was only a temporary phase to see if anyone would notice and to just try something new, but the team is back the way it was before, but stronger, and even more stronger they shall be, but what will happen next? Its fun to know and for you to guess! Guess all you want, the next chapter is going to be a bit of a shocker!

Question of the Chapter: DO you guys really think Chiro is possessed by Skeleton Queen or is he just way out of character?

My Answer to the Question: Can't tell you! That would be ruining the story! Now guess people guess!
