War Between the Living and the Dead

by EchidnaPower

The war between the living and the dead has begun, and the Hyperforce has to go up against their biggest challenge yet. But with help from their allies across the galaxy, they can triumph! Or can they? This is my take on what Season 5 would've been, plugging plotholes and making sense out of a series that left us all hanging. Contains Spova, Chinmay and more(?) Read and find out...

2. Call For Help Answered

Well, I was honestly expecting not to get any reviews at all for this story, so I'd say 3 is an excellent start. Hopefully as I continue to update over time, the attention this story gets will grow. I've been watching a lot of this show lately, wishing that Season 5 or at least a series finale had happened where they won. But it didn't, so that's why I'm doing this. I even have the ending already planned out, but it's up to you to figure out what I have in mind. But we've only just begun, don't even think about that yet. Here is the second chapter of this new project of mine.
_

It definitely was not a pretty sight. The sky itself seemed to recognize the gravity of the situation, and had darkened with angry grey clouds to accommodate the tense atmosphere, lightning would strike periodically and the accompanying thunder was near deafening, but for some reason these clouds would not rain...it was as if nature was trying to play some sick game by making an atmosphere that was fitting for the occasion.

Not that the weather was any real concern for the eight protectors of the city, they had bigger problems. "There they are." Chiro and the Hyperforce were standing at the edge of the bridge leading to Shuggazoom City, their Super Robot standing tall behind them. "There's thousands of 'em..."

Antauri activated the Silver Monkey's super vision and got a closer look at the incoming army, "These Formless minions seem to have been reconstructed to more closely resemble Skeleton King's new incarnation..." It was true, the Formless soldiers they were used to were simply black and white sacks of goo molded into skeleton shapes, but these new Formless were different. These creatures appeared to be made of actual bone, with their skulls acting as their faces and dark armor to go with their new swords. Even then however, the Skeleton King had also created some more familiar Formless to join the already huge army, such as the slug creatures that had attacked the city before the Dark One Worm had been born. "Team, I sense that this will be the most difficult challenge we've ever faced to date until help arrives. I would advise caution."

"No way!" Nova spat, "We can't afford to be careful anymore! At this point we either go big or go home!"

"I'm with Nova!" Sprx chimed in, "This is the big one, if we can't stop 'em with everything we got, then we're not gonna stop 'em!"

"I'm inclined to agree with Antauri," Gibson reasoned, "Logic dictates that we pace ourselves to ensure we don't drain our energy reserves in case an even larger threat presents itself after the first wave."

"Chiro?" Antauri asked expectantly.

Chiro looked straight ahead at the first Formless that was about to come into range, "We see what they're made of first! If we can beat 'em easy, then save the more powerful moves for more powerful opponents!" Finally the Formless began their attack and charged towards them, "This is it! Hyperforce GO!"

Immediately the clash began as Formless minions started falling left and right under the barrage of attacks being sent their way.

"MAGNA-BOLT BEAM SPLITTER!"

"LASER LANCE DRILL!"

"WHIRLING DESTRUCTO SAWS!"

Sprx, Gibson and Otto attacked as a unit, taking care of over two-dozen Formless with their first attacks. "Antauri was right!" Gibson shouted as he fired again, "These Formless are nothing more than your regular garden variety Formless minions made to look more like Skeleton King!"

"Good! Then this should be a piece of cake!" Otto sliced two more Formless in half and managed to dodge the swinging swords of three others before launching his next attack. "SCRITCH-SCRATCH DOOM THROWER!" Four more Formless fell under the sparks generated by Otto's saws, but then a larger Formless managed to get in a good slash and send Otto flying into Gibson.

"Cake huh?" Sprx growled and gained altitude, "Let's see just how many of you bone bags I can take down! MAGNO-BALL BLAZER!" Sprx hurled a ball of magnetic energy down towards the large Formless that had attacked Otto, and the power of the sphere caused all of the swords held by the surrounding Formless to slice through several other Formless to reach the source of the magnetism. "That's more like it."

Meanwhile, Nova and Jinmay had been surrounded by a large horde of Formless all carrying maces. "There sure are a lot of 'em." Jinmay stated.

"Obvious much?" Nova smirked, "It's quality versus quantity Jinmay, think you can keep up?"

Jinmay's eyes began to glow as she warmed up her lasers, "I didn't go through all that training just to throw in the towel, let's show 'em some girl power!"

Nova nodded and banged her giant fists together, "FLAME FIST FURY!" the yellow monkey's fist launched a blazing stream of fire just as Jinmay unleashed her eye beams, widening the gap between them and the Formless army as the soldiers began to fall under the girls' might. "Alright, let's keep it going!"

Unfortunately for Chiro and Antauri, they had been pinned down by some of the more powerful monsters, and they weren't having nearly as easy a time defeating their adversaries. "I don't like this Antauri." Chiro dodged a giant fist and answered back with his own, slightly knocking his current opponent back.

"It's clear that Skeleton King sees us and the Super Robot as the biggest threats." Antauri replied as he slashed one of the smaller Formless that had slipped through in half.

"So we get to deal with the really hard stuff." Chiro huffed, "Terrific." As the monsters began to close in on the two fighters, they were suddenly saved by two plasma blasts that had come from above. "At least the Super Robot's got our backs!"

The robot was indeed doing its best to help them, but it was being attacked by a giant Formless that had been created by hundreds of smaller variety Formless, very similar to the ones that had attacked it months ago before the Dark One's unleashing, and it was having some difficulty defending both itself and the Hyperforce below. Finally it managed to get off a really good swing that punched a hole through the gigantic Formless monster, but it was merely replaced by three more of the same variety.

"The Super Robot's in trouble!" Otto shouted through their two-way radios. Before the green monkey could even take off to try and help, he was attacked by another larger Formless.

"Otto!" Sprx was next, "Gahhh!"

Now it was only Gibson left, "Oh drat." Gibson spun like a top and managed to make a dent in the oncoming hoard with his laser drills, but there were simply too many for the blue monkey to handle. "There's too many! We need help here!" but then Gibson was also struck down, "AAAAAHHH!"

"Antauri, they need help! I'll take these freaks on!" Chiro put his hands together and pushed forward, "MONKEY FU!" The beam of pure Power Primate energy managed to disintegrate the goo-based Formless blocking their path, "Go Antauri!"

Antauri nodded and activated the Silver Monkey's Ghost mode, if he was gonna abandon Chiro, then he would make sure to take down as many Formless as he could on his way to his destination. Antauri took off low and fast, slicing through Formless in a straight line on his way to assist Sprx, Otto and Gibson. "Nova, Jinmay, break off your attack and assist Chiro! I'm going after the others!"

"Got it Antauri!" Jinmay responded, "You heard him Nova! Chiro needs us!" the two girls took off into the sky and found Chiro getting bounced around by four Formless each three times his size.

"Hang on Chiro!" Nova swooped down to attack, "BOOM BOOM WAKEUP!" the yellow monkey bashed a Formless before it could hit her leader again, which sent it flying into another Formless, destroying them both.

Jinmay then added her own contribution by launching missiles out of her fingers, effectively giving Chiro some breathing room, "Miss me?" the robot girl winked.

"I always miss you when you're not around." Chiro replied, "We're not doing so good are we?"

Jinmay frowned, "I wanna say we're fine, but it feels like we've trashed more than a thousand of these things and we're not even close to halfway done!"

"We can't give up, if we even let up for a second, the city's history!" Chiro fired Monkey Fu again just as Jinmay unleashed her lasers again.

"Chiro look!" Nova shouted.

Chiro looked up and saw that the Super Robot was ready to collapse, it had been doing its best to take on an ever-increasing number of giant Formless, and it had finally been overwhelmed. "Oh no!" Chiro shouted into his radio, "Antauri, you gotta hurry and get to Otto! It's time to put the anti-undead weapons to the test!" Chiro then turned to his teammates, "Nova, Jinmay, we gotta try and help the Super Robot!"

The two girls nodded at their leader and took off flying with him, and once they got there they began flying circles around the now somewhat irritated giant Formless monsters. "Chiro, I have an idea!" Jinmay shouted.

Chiro nodded and flew over to Jinmay, and the robot girl grabbed him by his legs and spun to gain momentum before hurling him towards the biggest Formless. "You're goin' down slime ball!" Chiro activated his new sword and shield and shifted his body so that it was shaped like a spear, and he sliced through the Formless's head and came out the other side, making the monster give an ear-piercing cry before exploding back into lifeless goo. "Great idea Jinmay! What do you call that move?"

"Hmm...how about the 'Energy Sword Impale'?"

Chiro shrugged, "Not bad, but we can come back to this later!" Chiro looked up and saw a giant fist headed towards his girlfriend, "Jinmay, look out!" Jinmay turned around a moment too late however as she was slammed down into the ground by the huge Formless. "That does it!" Chiro reached deep into his soul and unleashed his Inner Primate with a rage-filled battle cry. "MONKEY MIND SCREAM!" Chiro unleashed his full wrath on the hoard of giant Formless, and the energy of the attack disintegrated the remaining giant Formless. "Nova! Help Jinmay!"

"I'm on it Chiro!" Nova flew down to the downed robot girl, "Jinmay, you alright?"

Jinmay slowly struggled to her feet, holding her arm which was sparking, "I can't move my arm...it feels like some of the transmitters controlling my arm have been jarred loose." she snarled.

"Don't worry, we'll get you to the robot and Gibson'll fix you up good as new!"

Jinmay looked and saw all the Formless coming, "Forget it! I still have one working arm!"

"No Jinmay!" Nova reached out to stop the robot girl from flying off, but it was too late, the armored girl had already taken off. "Aww great!"

"MONKEY MIND SCREAM!" Antauri managed to make some space with his attack, and using the extendable arms inside the Silver Monkey, he was able to pull his three downed teammates out of danger for the moment, "Wake up Monkey Team, we need your help!"

Sprx, Gibson and Otto slowly regained their consciousness, "Ugh...are we winning?" Otto groaned.

"Not at the moment, but perhaps we can change that, it's time to test out those anti-undead weapons you made!"

Antauri's statement woke Otto up completely, "Alright!" Otto broke free of the Silver Monkey's robotic arm and pulled out two blasters, "One shot...and..." Otto fired several bursts of energy, and with one strike several Formless disintegrated. "Alaka-squasho! They worked!"

"Excellent work Otto!" Gibson complimented, "If you'll permit me." Otto nodded and handed Gibson a blaster, and the blue monkey took a part from the gun and installed it into his laser drill, "There we are! Now let's show them what science can do!"

"You got it Gibson! Yahooooo!"

With Gibson and Otto destroying Formless with their anti-undead weapons, Antauri joined up with Sprx. "This battle's taking forever Antauri!"

The red monkey was clearly getting demoralized, after over twenty minutes of fighting they'd managed to take down an innumerable amount of Formless, and yet there was still an even greater number of Formless to go. "Do not lose hope Sprx," Antauri closed his eyes a moment, "I sense that help is on its way."

"Yeah, great, in the meantime we'll just keep trying to make a dent in this endless army of bone bags." Sprx shrugged.

"If that's what it takes."

Sprx sighed and fired yet another blast from his magnets, "The life of a superhero."

Back with Jinmay, the girl was fighting off her arm's malfunction as she kept firing her eye beams. Getting more altitude to try and get a better advantage, she looked into the distance and saw something that made her robotic heart stop, "It can't be!" Using her robot vision to zoom in, Jinmay gasped in horror when she confirmed what she thought she had seen, "Jinmay to Hyperforce, come in Hyperforce!"

"Nova here!" the yellow monkey chimed in, "Jinmay, are you ok?!"

"I'm holding up fine, but we got big trouble coming!"

Now Chiro joined the conversation, "Define big Jinmay, the Super Robot's busy keeping any stray Formless from reaching the city!"

"How about...Skeleton King big?"

The whole monkey team screeched at that, "Jinmay, are you sure?!" Gibson exclaimed.

"Unless my eyes are malfunctioning too, that's Skeleton King coming this way!"

"Wait, too?!" Chiro gasped, "What happened to you?! Nova, I told you to help her!"

"But I..."

Nova was cut off by Jinmay, "Don't blame her Chiro, I took off on my own; as long as I can still fight, I want in."

"Then consider yourself out of commission...permanently."

Jinmay's circuits grew cold as she slowly turned around, and sure enough there was the resurrected Skeleton King with the evil Mandarin perched on his shoulder. "Skeleton King...but...how did you..."

"You were originally meant to destroy the Hyperforce, but you decided instead to embrace cheap sentimentality and help them instead...how unfortunate." the Skeleton King raised his staff and charged an attack, "If only your precious Chiro could be here to witness this."

"He is!" Chiro stood there with a dark scowl, "Let her go!"

Skeleton King chortled evilly, "You are a fool to love her Chosen One...how can you love a machine? A machine who will never be able to give you the things that a human woman could...why do you cling to this toy when you could have the real thing?"

"I'm not playing this game Skeleton King, I've dealt with you enough times to know that you're a master at messing with people's thoughts with mind games...but that only works if your opponent plays too...and guess what? It's game over!" With a primal roar, the Inner Primate manifested itself around Chiro once more, and the Hyperforce leader growled fiercely at the evil king, "Last chance...let...her...go."

"Oh Chiro, you will soon realize that whether you play or not, I will always find a way to make you lose the game." Skeleton King nonchalantly dropped the robot girl and aimed his staff at Chiro, "Now, it's time to put an end to this match." the monster fired, but Chiro was able to dodge the dark beam.

"You missed!"

"Did I?"

Chiro gasped and turned around, and sure enough there were even more Formless being created, some even larger than the Super Robot itself, "No..."

"You can end this pointless war Chiro, you are only delaying the inevitable by resisting my forces. Surrender yourself and your monkeys to me now, and I will give you all a swift death instead of making you watch as I lay waste to Shuggazoom City."

"No!" Jinmay aimed her working arm towards the Skeleton King to fire her missiles, but then Mandarin leaped off the king's shoulder and kicked her down.

"Even with me having only one hand you still cannot best me! I was not considered the greatest of the monkeys for no reason you know!" Mandarin cackled.

"I dunno what you are," Jinmay spat, "But you're not one of the monkeys." Jinmay fired her eye beams, but Mandarin easily dodged and got ready to attack again. Luckily for Jinmay however, Chiro managed to swing the Inner Primate's energy arm so that he sent Mandarin flying away.

But with a wave of his hand, the Skeleton King utilized his mental powers to easily bring Mandarin back and perch him back on his shoulder, "I grow weary of this." Skeleton King raised his hand, and the Inner Primate suddenly vanished as Chiro was brought to the monster. "You will now suffer my unending wrath, as so many others have before."

"Leave him alone!"

That declaration brought the Skeleton King's attention back to Jinmay, and the evil king brought the robot girl to him as well. "How fitting...the Chosen One and his pretend lover will perish together." Skeleton King began to close his hand, and the invisible pressure that was squeezing the two Hyperforce members began to build, and they began to feel the life being choked out of them. "I will destroy the girl first, leaving you Chiro, just within an inch of your life to watch as everything you ever cared about slowly succumbs to my power."

Jinmay screamed as her internal workings began to scrape against each other, causing immense pain for the robot girl. "Chiro..." she finally choked, "I'm sorry..."

"No!"

Skeleton King looked up to see a cloaked figure flying towards him, and the evil king was knocked to the ground by the unknown being, causing him to drop Chiro and the now powered down robot girl to the ground. "Who dares?!"

The being stood up and removed the hood it was wearing, revealing its identity, "You will not destroy these children evil one, not as long as I'm standing." Easily recognizable by his long white whiskers and his pale grey skin, Chiro and Jinmay's savior couldn't have been a more welcome sight to the leader of the Hyperforce.

"Master Offay!"

"Yes Chiro, now go and take care of her, I will take care of Skeleton King!"

"You believe you are worthy to even speak the master's name?" Mandarin hissed, "I will teach you respect!" Mandarin leaped for the old man, but Offay easily deflected the attack and redirected it so that Mandarin hit the Skeleton King in the face instead, "Master! P-Please, forgive me!"

Skeleton King threw Mandarin off to the side and stood back up, "You know not what you're getting yourself into old man."

"Oh no?" Offay got into a fighting stance and stared the embodied skull down, "I think I have a pretty good idea." he then turned his attention back to Chiro, "Well what are you waiting for you nitwit?! Get her out of here!"

Shaking off the shock of seeing Mandarin so easily repelled, Chiro nodded and scooped up the currently lifeless robot girl and took off towards the Super Robot. "Antauri, help has arrived!"

"I sensed it too Chiro," Antauri replied through the radio, "I am currently en route to assist Master Offay, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine...but Jinmay..." Chiro looked down at the crushed robot girl in his arms and choked back a sob, "Jinmay..."

"Say no more Chiro, just get her safely to the robot, I believe this battle is about to end." Antauri then changed frequencies, "This is Antauri, are you in position?"

"Yes, and may I say that we are honored by this opportunity to once again fight alongside the Monkey Team."

"The honor is ours. Now go!"

Suddenly a giant ape-shaped spaceship descended from above, crushing one of the larger Formless and several smaller ones when it landed. A hatch opened up, and out marched a veritable army of grey robo-apes, with their yellow leader in front. "The Monkey Team has entrusted us with a great task, let us not fail them! Robo-Apes, attack!"

What seemed like a hundred Robo-Apes came rushing out of the ship howling at the top of their robotic lungs, and almost immediately the number of Formless soldiers seemed to take a significant drop. "Now we're talkin'!" Sprx exclaimed, "It's about time the odds got evened up a little!"

Gibson, Nova and Otto then appeared and flanked either side of the red primate, "We're not out of the woods yet, we still have a few more of the extra large variety of Formless to deal with." Gibson said.

"Uh...guys?" Otto looked into the sky, "We got more company."

The other three monkeys also looked up, and noticed another similar looking robot descending upon the city. "That design looks sorta familiar." Nova noted. Once the giant robot landed, the monkeys got a pretty clear idea of who was driving it. "It's the Sun Riders!"

"Excellent! Now we'll really be able to shed some light on this situation!" Gibson expected a laugh, but Sprx, Nova and Otto didn't seem impressed, "You know what? Clearly my advanced sense of humor is wasted on you three."

"I got the joke...I just didn't think it was that funny." Otto shrugged shamefully.

"If it's any consolation," a sultry voice spoke up, "We thought it was rather clever."

Johnny Sunspot and Aurora Six leaped down from the obviously upgraded Nebutron, as it was now much more than simply an orange and white striped orb with legs. This new version of the Sun Rider battle robot was much bigger, approximately the same size as the Super Robot, and while the legs were designed the same except for the larger size, the most obvious change was in the fact that it now had arms, a neck and a head that was shaped like the helmet that Super Quasar, the Sun Riders Commander, normally wore.

"Meet the Nebutron 9! We went all out for this project, now we got ourselves an honest-to-goodness Super Robot just like you chimps!" Johnny boasted.

Gibson cleared his throat, "Yes, it's certainly quite impressive, but just to be clear, we are not chimpanzees, we are monkeys."

The boy genius shrugged dismissively, "Like it matters. The point is, now that we're here, your robot is finally gonna get some decent backup." Johnny spoke into an apparently new communicator watch, "Hey Quasar, you got the robot on autopilot yet?"

"Almost!" the leader of the Sun Riders pressed one final button, and then he jumped down to the ground and landed on one knee just as the Nebutron 9 began to stomp off to help the Hyperforce Super Robot. "We received your transmission my primate friends," Quasar bowed, "We are honored by your request for our assistance."

Johnny scoffed, "Don't be so dramatic, we're heroes too, we're supposed to back each other up."

"Then let's stop wasting time," Aurora reached for her Sun Gun, "And start backing them up! SUN GUN DAZZLE STUN!" the beautiful woman's blaster fired multiple beams of solar energy, destroying one Formless for each time the gun was fired. She took a moment to wink at Sprx, who in the past had shown his obvious infatuation with her, "Pretty good, wouldn't you say?"

"Not bad," Sprx glanced at Nova who was obviously displeased with Aurora's flirting, "But I got my eyes on someone else now." Sprx took off along with the rest of the monkeys, leaving a stunned Aurora Six behind with her own teammates.

"You must be losing your touch Aurora," Johnny joked as he disintegrated two more Formless with the Black Hole Generators in his gloves, "The red chimp's not impressed anymore."

Despite the obvious teasing put down by Johnny, Aurora found herself smiling. "The only way he could've resisted me, is if he finally did something about his true feelings."

"Whatever." Johnny rolled his eyes and looked out at the still numerous amount of Formless slowly approaching them from all angles. "Whaddya say we end this whole thing right now?"

"I agree, let us finish this quickly and allow the Hyperforce to regroup!" Quasar grabbed hands with his teammates and together they formed a circle. "Be certain that we do not hit any of our allies with this attack! Focus on the evil ones only!"

"SUPER SOLAR STRIKE!" With a bright flash of light, a solar flare erupted from the team's circle and stretched out in every direction, destroying almost every remaining smaller Formless in the immediate area.

"That takes care of these guys! Now let's help out those giant monkeys with the rest of 'em!" Johnny exclaimed.

"Um, Johnny...those aren't monkeys." Aurora pointed out.

The boy genius glared up at the voluptuous woman, "Does it look like I care?"

Aurora simply giggled and ran forward with her Sun Gun vaporizing every Formless she could get a bead on, "You boys coming or what?!"

Johnny growled with his fists clenched, "Why does she have to be so annoying?!"

Quasar simply laughed, "Would she be Aurora if she were different?"

Johnny huffed in submission, "No, I guess not." he grumbled.

"Exactly. Now, we have Formless creatures to defeat! SOLAR HELMET HOT SHOT!"

"BLACK HOLE BARRAGE!"

Meanwhile, Antauri was squaring off against Mandarin while Master Offay and Skeleton King traded blows. "You honestly believe that you can defeat me? You're nothing more than an old man who's too senile to realize his time has passed!" Skeleton King swung his staff at the old master, who merely redirected the staff's trajectory with a downward block.

"As a wise person once said, 'A still spirit can conquer anything...and that includes you'."

"Quoting yourself, how utterly typical for an ancient master who's clinging on to past glory."

Offay grinned, "Shows what you know, I was quoting my young student Chiro!" Offay leaped up and kicked the Skeleton King in the face, causing him to stumble backwards into Mandarin, who was having almost no luck against the power of the Silver Monkey. "Take a good look evil one, see that your army has been whittled down to nothing."

Suddenly several more fighters appeared behind Offay and Antauri, all glaring furiously at the two malevolent monsters. "It's over Skeleton King, your time in a second life has thankfully come to a swift end." Antauri snarled.

"Anti-undead weapons fire!" Otto unleashed a barrage of lasers at the Skeleton King, but the resurrected master of evil spun his staff and deflected them away, "Well that didn't work."

Skeleton King looked around at the warriors facing him, and chortled evilly at the absence of two particular members of the good army. "This battle may be over, but the war has barely begun." With an evil cackle, Skeleton King slammed his staff into the ground and sent waves of dark energy towards the heroes that sent them flying backwards.

They quickly recovered, but they found that Skeleton King and Mandarin had both vanished into thin air. "Then we'll be ready for ya." Sprx said almost to himself.

Antauri then turned to his new allies, "I wish to thank you all for answering our call for help, we couldn't have succeeded without every one of your contributions."

"It is our honor, Antauri-san." Quasar said with a bow, "By the way, where is Chiro-san?"

The absence of Chiro reminded the team of what had happened in the battle, "Gibson, Otto, get to the Super Robot, Chiro needs you." Antauri ordered grimly.

"Acknowledged." Gibson nodded and took off, but not before grabbing Johnny under the arms.

"Hey! Put me down ya lousy chimp!"

"You're coming with us, since you're the one who creates all the Sun Rider weaponry, your assistance will be indispensable for this project." Gibson replied, ignoring the chimp comment for once.

"Do ya think she's ok Gibson?" Otto asked worriedly.

Gibson lowered his head and squeezed his eyes shut, "We'll know soon enough."

Meanwhile, the Skeleton King had just arrived in his recently formed Fortress within the Pit of Doom he had forced the citizens of Shuggazoom to dig for him almost an entire year ago. The evil lord was simply chortling to himself, much to the confusion of the orange monkey clone beside him. "I do not understand my lord, why are you not enraged by this defeat?!"

"Defeat?" Skeleton King chortled again, "Oh no Mandarin, this was no defeat, today was a resounding victory for the forces of evil."

"I don't understand, we were driven off, and the Hyperforce now has more allies than ever!"

"And that is where the boy made a grave mistake. He may think he's evened the odds by bringing in allies from across the galaxy...but he has only opened the door for me to manipulate his new teammates in ways he'll never see coming...even now, I have planted a seed of doubt within not only the robot girl, but in Chiro as well...as this war drags on, I will continue to plant and cultivate more seeds within their ranks, and soon enough they will find themselves falling apart at the seams."

"But why bother master? Why not just destroy them now?"

"Because it is not enough to simply defeat them Mandarin...those filthy primates and their boy have been thorns in my side for far too long. I want to watch them suffer before taking control of their world, and what better way to do it than to cause turmoil in their hearts by using these new personalities on their side to my advantage?" Skeleton King chortled once again, "Prepare yourself Chiro, there is more than one form of warfare."

A/N: I dunno, writing action isn't my forte, I'm more of a dialogue writer. I hope the action I tried to make was acceptable, the drama and suspense I thought I did an ok job with...but that's up to you viewers to decide. As you can also see, I haven't introduced everyone just yet, but I did bring in the ones who would've been the biggest helps in the first battle against Skeleton King and his army. The Robo-Ape army is there to make sure Skeleton King can't just send out a hoard of monsters and overwhelm them, the Nebutron 9 is now a for real super robot, so giant monsters will have a harder time in their attacks, and Master Offay is strong enough to be able to hold off Skeleton King. Not only that, more reinforcements should be on their way, so they Hyperforce should feel pretty good about their chances right now...or should they? Find out next time...also, review please.
