I DO NOT OWN SUPER ROBOT MONKEY TEAM HYPERFORCE GO!
The remaining Hyperforce members sat in a small circle as the two monkeys listened to what their leader was telling them
"Next thing I knew you guys came and rescued me from that freakish plant" Chiro finished his story. Otto and Sparx just stared at each other in guilt.
"Ah gee I-I'm really sorry about all this, Kid" Sparx rubbed his head and looked down.
"Me too. If we had been there for you sooner none of this would have happened." Otto said as he pet the infant simian on the head. Antauri had just fallen asleep for a nap so Otto offered to hold him.
"Oh no guys this isn't anyone's fault but Mandarin and his formless army. We have to find a way to turn Antauri back to normal." Chiro said sternly
"Aw do we have to? The little guy's so adorable." Otto nuzzled Antauri as he began to suck on his own tail in his sleep.
"(Gasp) Mandarin!" Sparx realized "I totally forgot about him."
"What?" Chiro asked out of slight panic
"He's somewhere in the Savage Lands looking for you two. We gotta get you out of here before he finds us." Sparx helped Chiro to his feet when all of a sudden a formless came out and tackled Otto. It stood over him trying to grab Antauri.
"Otto!" Chiro cried "Thunder Punch!" he destroyed the formless that was on top of his teammate.
Then arrows were being shot at them rapidly. "Gyro Roller!" Sparx jumped in front of the arrows and mirrored them. The formless who shot them were destroyed. While Chiro defended Otto who was kneeling on the ground, Sparx hurried to his communicator
"Sparx to Gibson, come in Gibson! We found Chiro and Antauri but we're being ambushed! Where are you?!"
"Well hello to you, Sparx" Sparx gasped. That wasn't Gibson's voice "Tell the boy to stand down immediately." Sparx gulped. He had no choice on what he could do
"Lightning-"
"Stop!" Sparx blocked his shot. Chiro stopped in his tracks
"Sparx, what are you doing?" Chiro asked with rage
"What he was told to do, my dear boy." the formless moved to reveal Mandarin. Right by his side were two formless who hauled Gibson and Nova out in plain sight.
"Gibson! Nova!" Sparx cried
"Here what's going to happen. You three are going to surrender and hand over the child to me or else these two will parish where they stand" he signaled the formless to bring out their swords and hold them to their necks
Otto growl and held Antauri close to his chest "If you hurt them, I swear I'll-"
"Oh naive little Otto." Mandarin chuckled "I'm afraid it is not up to me if they are harmed. Stand down now."
"Don't do it guys! We're not worth it!" Nova shouted
"Guys we have to." said Sparx
"No way. We can't let Mandarin get Antauri." Otto argued
"It's your call Kid" Sparx told him. Chiro froze. He had no idea what was right or wrong. He made his decision regretfully
"Otto" Chiro turned around to him sadly "put him down"
"But Chiro-"
"That's an order! Lay Antauri down gently" Chiro said as he and Sparx raised their arms in the air. Otto bit his lip and gently laid the sleeping baby on the ground. He stood up holding his arm up as well. The formless put the chains on their wrists and shocked them. They all cried in pain as the formless pulled their arms behind their backs
"Wise decision, Chiro. Formless, take them and start walking to the ship. I'll carry the little one." Mandarin ordered as he walked to pick up Antauri. Chiro growled as the formless pushed him to keep walking
(TWENTY MINUTES OF WALKING LATER)
"Wait, so that baby is actually Antauri?" Nova asked with a surprised tone
"Why yes he is Nova, and you can thank a certain blue scientist that he may be stuck this way permanently" Mandarin mocked with victory
"Gibson.. what is he talking about?" Sparx looked at him
"I.. (gulp) I destroyed the laser that put Antauri in this state." Gibson confessed shamefully. Otto gasped
"You what?!" Sparx was getting mad
"Gibson how could you do that?" Chiro scolded
"Guys you can't blame him" Nova vouched for him "For one he didn't know anything about the gun or that anyone had already been affected by it and two Mandarin was about to shoot us with it. It was do or die."
"Oh she's right. The Skeleton King's plan was to transform all of you into infants" Mandarin cut in again
"But why?" Chiro grunted as he pulled on his chains "What could Skeleton King possibly have to gain from turning us into babies?"
"You see anyone who has fallen under the laser's affects will continue to have a normal age rate. His plan was to raise you into his personal minions. You would re-grow up into cold heartless warriors and we would all conquer Shuggazoom in his name!" Mandarin laughed with a sinister tone. The Hyperforce went wide eyed as chills went down all of their spines
"So what's the plan now that his little toy is gone?" Sparx asked sarcastically
"Well, isn't that a good question. Perhaps another brain washing session in our torture chambers. I've been saving it for all of you."
"Oh no not that again!" Otto stuttered. The others were just as intimidated about going back in there as he was. Just as they were about to board the ship. Mandarin got a cruel idea. He was ready to have fun using the child to torment his former team
"And that's just the fun my master can have with the five of you. Skeleton King can let his imagination run wild with what he can do with this little one." He said as Antauri yawned and started waking up
"We wouldn't dream of letting you harm him!" Gibson shouted as the formless pushed him to keep moving
"Ah look who's awake." he stroked Antauri's little face. Antauri looked around and saw Chiro a few feet away
"Eh eh." his tiny arms tried to reach out of Mandarin's grip to get to Chiro
"Oh no, I would never harm an infant. In fact I have the perfect torture method for all of you" he got an evil grin "you can all just sit there rotting away in a dungeon and watch as we slowly raise your wise mentor into a monster." he said the infant started to cry
"You wouldn't!" Nova screamed as she was shocked by the chains. Otto growled and Chiro began to hyperventilate
"Come to think of it, his name might not even be 'Antauri' anymore. He doesn't even have know that any of you exist."
"No!" Otto cried
"Don't you dare!" Sparx warned him with rage as Antauri began to cry a lot harder
"Mandarin please just let me hold him. I'm begging you" Chiro begged in desperation, he was almost ready to cry at the idea of someone he loved so dearly being turned against him, especially in such a helpless state. Antauri was getting louder as he tried to wiggle out of Mandarin's arms. He wanted Chiro to hold him, badly. He didn't feel safe with this new scary monkey.
"Take a good look at the brat my hairless monkey, for I will personally make sure that none of you will ever come face to face with him ever again!" He laughed over his crying
"NO! " Chiro tried to run to him but the formless grabbed him and dragged him into the ship with the other monkeys "Antauri! I'll get us out of this! I promise!" Chiro struggled to brake free.
Between this and Antauri's crying the other were also starting to panic, all expect for Sparx who was trying to stay calm. Just as they were about to enter the ship, something bizarre happened. Antauri stopped crying for a second and then let out an insanely loud sonic scream!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The sonic vibrations were so strong they short circuited the chains that held the Hyperforce. Sparx thought fast and ran for Antauri. Mandarin shrieked in pain and dropped Antauri. Luckily Sparx caught him before he hit the ground. He then sweep kicked Mandarin and flew off with Antauri in his arms to hide.
"No!" Mandarin cried "After him!" several flying formless began to chase after Sparx in the air but the clever red pilot used his free arm to fight back
"Magna-Ball Beam Splitter!" While Sparx destroyed the formless chasing him, the other monkeys pulled off their now broken chains and shook off the echoing screams in their ears
"Chiro, Sparx escaped with Antauri!" Gibson said through his ringing ears
"In that case..." Chiro smirked ripping his chains off "I think it's pay back time, Monkey Team. You guys take the formless, Mandarin's mine."
"You got it Chiro!" Nova said as she brought out her fists "Knuckle Duster!"
Gibson and Otto merged their two attacks together "Double Monkey Attack!"
"Just you and me, Mandarin"
"It would seem that way, boy." Mandarin and Chiro had a stand off. Mandarin pulled out his sword and Chiro readied his stance. Mandarin rushed toward Chiro with his sword but Chiro dodged it
"Chiro Spearo!" he got direct hit at Mandarin
"Monkey Mind Scream!" Mandarin launched at Chiro causing him to flinch. Chiro quickly shock it off and charged at Mandarin.
"Thunder Punch!" Mandarin blocked the attack by grabbing Chiro by the arm. He took his arm and snapped it on his knee. Chiro screamed in pain as Mandarin kicked him off of him. Chiro tried to stand up but Mandarin kicked him directly on spot where his leg was cut.
"Ha Ha! You're pathetic, Chiro." Mandarin walked over to Chiro "You're so feeble, it almost makes me regret leaving the Hyperforce." Chiro struggled to get up, but he was too weak from the past few days to fight anymore. "Let's see how well our fellow simians do without any leader at all!" Mandarin lifted his sword and was about to deliver the final blow when he was stopped by a certain hothead.
"Lady Tomahawk!" Nova punched Mandarin away from Chiro's shaking body as Gibson and Otto helped her surround the evil simian.
"Game over, Mandarin. You've lost." Nova said with stern voice
"You win this round, Hyperforce, but mark my words I will return to destroy you." Mandarin released a smoke bomb and escaped into his ship
"Hey!" Otto tried to chase after him.
"Let him go, Otto. After this failure we'll let Skeleton King deal with him." Gibson looked up to see his ship flying off
"Yeah we need to take care of Chiro." Nova said as they ran over to an injured Chiro. Otto sat him up so Gibson can examine his arm
"How bad does it hurt, Chiro?" Gibson asked going into medical mode
"(hiss) AH It really hurts! Like really badly! I think its broken" Chiro was in a lot of pain
"Hmm." Gibson was extremely careful not to further Chiro's pain. "Oh my. Mandarin certainly did a damper on your arm. Don't worry though, I have plenty of medical equipment in the Fist Rocket, which isn't too far from here. Do you think you can walk a short distant?"
"I don't know, Gibson. His leg doesn't look much better." Nova said looking over the now increased cut on his leg. The cut was now a painful throbbing bruise
"I did that in the crash ow it didn't really hurt until Mandarin kicked it ah I don't think I can walk owwwww"
Otto wanted to help so he snapped his finger with an idea "Here Chiro. You can use my jet pack to get to the fist rocket."
"That's actually a rather fine idea, Otto" Gibson complimented. Otto took off his jet pack as he and Gibson helped Chiro put the jet pack around his arm as gently as possible. Chiro tried to stand up on one leg then turned the jet pack on. He hovered over the ground to take the weight off his leg
"Is that better, Chiro?" asked Nova
"(hiss) Yeah, but my arm is throbbing. Can we hurry ow? I just want to find Sparx and Antauri."
"Leave them to me." Nova volunteered "You guys take Chiro and take care of that arm."
"Okay Nova but hurry. I don't like leaving anyone alone in these jungles" Gibson said nervously. Nova nodded as the boys flew off. She then proceeded to turn on her communicator
"Nova to Sparx, Nova to Sparx. Come in Sparx."
"This is Sparx reporting, are you guys alright?" Sparx said from the communicator. Nova overheard Antauri crying over the communicator
"Yeah we're fine. What about you and Antauri. Are you two alright, I hear him crying."
"He's okay. I think he's just still scared by Mandarin. I'm trying to calm him down but I think Chiro may have to do. Is he alright?"
"Sort of, Mandarin broke his arm."
"What!? Is he okay?"
"Yeah, Gibson's treating it right now. Listen where are you?"
"I figured the best thing I could was hide. I'm in a tree not too far from where we were. what do you want we to do?"
"Meet us by Gibson's fist rocket. We'll drop you off at yours and head back to Shuggazoom."
"Alright I'll bee right there. Sparx out" Sparx hung up. Nova sighed as she flew back to follow the others. She was relieved that all of this was almost over.
