Disclaimer: All you have to know is I do not own Super Robot Monkey Team HyperForce.
Note: I didn't know it's been 20 years since the show premiered.
I'm really glad that Disney+ have it when Jetix was still around. I started watching the show again and I thought about this one character I drew when I used to be in Deviantart (they deleted my stuff and account, which is cool. I'm rarely on there. xD) and I thought about doing at least a multi-shot about her meeting the team.
Since I've been wanting to do a fanfic about my girl. Starting with this episode, where Sparx been taking to a junk wasteland, in the episode called Magnetic Menace.
Enjoy!
Artemis, the Sixth Monkey
Magnetic Menace
APOV
From the moment I've awakened from this junk wasteland, I knew there was something fishy about that Scrapperton freak. He was the one who found me and asked me if I wanted to be his little henchman. Of course, I've told him I've refused, because the whole purpose of it, I woke up as a robot monkey, with no memory of how I got to the junk wasteland.
The only thing I remember is my name and this power I feel within me, which I assume is called Power Primate.
"Tick-tock, after her! Tick-tock!" Hearing his giant robots coming after me while I ran, then I began to attack, releasing my Magnets.
"Negative Beam!" Releasing a bright pink beam at those robots, it'll buy me some time to get out of here.
The question is, where? He can still find me just by searching for my magnets. I activated my agility and vanished into stealth mode.
"Tick-tock, you can't hide from me that easy, little blue monkey," See? I hid myself inside a giant pin, with scraps and bolts being broken, hiding in the pile. Hearing the giant robots walking by, I close my eyes and then, the robots left, causing myself to feel relief.
Whatever he wants to do with my magnets, I have a feeling he's gonna do something drastic.
Anyway, I've decided to stay hidden in the bin and just hang out there while I look up at the sky. In the empty space that filled nothing, but stars. Like I said, I've awakened from the junk wasteland, because I have no memory of how I got here, besides my name and this power. Let alone that I remember I have weapons that transformed from my cybernetic hands.
I saw a glass next to me and saw a reflection of a pale bluish-lilac robot monkey, with bright violet pink eyes and cybernetic arms and hands. Was I created or something? I asked myself that couple of times, especially this power, Power Primate that I feel within me. Why, though?
"Hm," Whoever I was, I'm sure I was made for something good and I would use my powers for good, instead of using evil like Lord Scrapperton, who wanted me for parts. Mostly my magnets since I won't let him. Or at least, my body parts.
Scrapperton is so creepy, before I refused his offer, he told me about of how he was a human himself and decided to "upgrade" to he is now. A violet headed humanoid robot with a top hat and a staff to call himself, Lord Scrapperton. He's a collector, hence why, mind you.
Not until I heard a loud crash. "What the?"
I climb out of the bin and gasped at the sight. There's a giant metal robot and I sense something...or someone. I hid myself, then watch an opening coming from the robot's shoulder, appeared not one, but five shadow figures came out.
My eyes widen. At four robot monkeys who look like me! In different colors, with a human boy in a white and orange space suit. I used my comm link to hear what they're saying.
"Look at this place," I hear the green monkey. "Have you ever seen such a paradise?"
"Of rusty old junk?" I hear the yellow monkey, only female of the group. "Uh, no." Seeing the green one look so excited about the parts, I giggled at the sight.
Seems to me he's the engineering one of the group. Hearing the yellow female one shivered, hearing her saying that this place makes her fur itch. Can't say that I don't blame her since I've awakened here. Not until I saw something walked by and went after the group.
"Scrapperton." I went into stealth mode and follow the group.
Watching the group walking by, I notice that the human boy seems to be holding a scanner pad. "Whatever is jamming to Sprx's comm signal appears to be coming from this location."
Sprx? Jamming his comm signal? I could've sense him, I thought. Not until that little camera walked by again.
"Hey, did you hear that?" I hid myself, seeing the group getting ready when they saw the little camera.
"Over there!" The yellow monkey shouted.
"That thing might know where Sprx is." The human boy said, seeing him went after the camera, but the camera jumped and getting away, seeing the group went after it with the robot monkeys flying. I too, went after them in my stealth mode.
With the camera running and jumping, it met a dead end. The group managed to be surrounding the little thing, with the human boy going up to it as I hid myself.
"Don't worry," I heard him say. "We're not gonna hurt you." Not until the camera decided to grow out bat wings and flew away, flying over the group with the yellow monkey trying to catch it.
"Otto, I thought you were gonna grab it." She said.
"Well, I thought Sprx was gonna-oh yeah, my fault." So, the green one name is Otto, how cute.
Wait, what?!
"You're not to blame, Otto," I gasp softly, hearing a wise voice coming from the black monkey. "There are other forces at work." Hearing the human boy shouted, he and the others were trapped in a cube and I quickly jumped in, on top of it and it began to take us down as an elevator.
"Magnetic Shield." Releasing my magnets, I held on, hearing group screaming from the inside till we manage to land and the cube began to open up. With me falling in. "Whoa!"
"Whoa, oof!" Landing on the yellow monkey. The two of us groaned.
"What in the world?" I opened my eyes and met the group's gazes. Including the human's ones that he look in shock.
"Another robot monkey?" Uh-oh, I've been exposed. Not until all of us heard something loud and awake, which I knew what they were since they were after me earlier. I protected the group.
"Get behind me, all of you," I scolded them, looking up at the boy. "Now." And he and the others obeyed with the red robots surrounding us.
"Perhaps they'll run away like their little friend," The blue one said. Seeing the red robots released their guns. That's my cue as I jumped.
"Negative Beam!" Doing it like I did after I woke up, the robots were hit as dominos. I continue to fight them while the rest did their formation, hearing them using their attacks, I've decided to help them out.
"Nova, a little help, please." I heard the blue one and she came in.
"Lady Tomahawk!" And I came in after her.
"Proton Slam!" Till I heard her cried out. "Oh, no!" Seeing the rest of the monkeys gotten hit, and so did I. "Ahh!"
"I got you, my little friend, tick-tock." I've been caught.
"Let me go, you freak!" I tried to fight him off, but he won't let me go till I saw the robots regenerate themselves, going after the group again. "No."
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, reset and reboot," I heard Scrapperton and the robots moved aside for him to make his grand entrance. With me in it as I manage to get away from him and jump into the boy's arms. "This is no way to welcome visitors to the realm." I growled at him, felt the boy held me close to him.
"Are you okay?" He asked me softly.
"Just be careful." I whispered back. Sensing the Power Primate from him and the rest, meaning these guys are also good. Maybe they can help me who I am after all of this.
Seeing the red robots began to leave, Scrapperton came close to the group, with me continue to growl at him and being protective of them. "Now, Artemis, is that the way for you not introducing me to your new friends? Tick-tock."
"Artemis?" I hear the black monkey.
"Your name is Artemis?" The boy asked me curiously, meeting his gaze.
"My deepest apologies," We look back at the freak. "My soldiers are somewhat single-minded in duty," I growled again. "I am your host, Lord Scrapperton version 2.8, Grand Earl of the Mecha Relam."
"I'm Chiro," The boy started. "And these are-"
"The finest examples of Mech-Simians I've ever laid optics on," I jumped off of Chiro's arms and landed in front of the blue monkey, growling at Scrapperton to back off.
"Leave them alone, Scrapperton," I warned him, almost baring my teeth at him. "They're not his collections, they're his friends." He chuckles dryly.
"Now, Artemis, use your manners, my dear, tick-tock," I growled.
"Actually, that's why we're here," I hear Chiro, looking over at him. "I'm missing one, the red one." The one he and the others called Sprx. Seeing the freak went over to Nova, seeing her look annoyed.
"It's always the red ones, isn't it?" Scrapperton chuckled.
"His ship disappeared near here and we were hoping maybe you guys had seen him," Which, I've felt very bad at that. I could've sworn I should've sense him or seen his ship coming in.
Unless, of course, Scrapperton have something to do with it.
"Mm, no, decidedly not," He said. "Come with me, young Chiro, to the parlor." I growled. "That's where I keep my scanners. We'll find your lost monkey, see if we don't." He began to walk away. "I'll just fetch a transport." Chiro began to leave, but the blue monkey stopped him.
"Whatever was jamming Sprx's signal," He explained with a scanner. "Is coming from here, somewhere close."
"Right," Chiro said. "I'm guessing this guy's up to something."
"He is, actually," Causing the group to look over at me. "I know it, because he was after me earlier. After I've woke up of no memory of how I got here." Seeing the group's eyes widen.
"No memory?" The blue monkey asked.
"Yeah, I mean, I remember my name, my weapons and this power I feel within me," I explained. "I assume it has something to do with you guys, because I too, sensed the Power Primate." Hearing the group's gasp, I've felt protective all over again. "I know we just met, but Chiro, I don't think it's a good idea for you to go with him." Seeing him look determined, he look back at us.
"You stay here and help my friends find Sprx," He tells me. "I know what I'm doing." Not until I growled again when Scrapperton came in with a transport and seeing Chiro got on. "My monkeys would stay here and be with Artemis, she can help them with uh-"
"Do as they wish," I growled even more. "In my kingdom, they're welcome from aft to stern." Seeing the two leaving with Nova commenting that Chiro split the team up again, which I assume it happened before, because of Sprx.
"Let's find Sprx," The black monkey look over at me. "Will you help us, Artemis?" I nodded.
"Of course," I said. Then, looking over at the blue monkey. "What's your name again?"
"I'm Hal Gibson, you can call me Hal or you can call me Gibson," He said.
"I'm Nova," Nova introduced herself. "It's nice to meet you and thanks for helping us out."
"It's nice to meet you, too, Nova." I said, then look over at the other two. Looking at the black monkey. "And you are?"
"I am Antauri," He greeted. "Thank you again, for saving us earlier."
"It's no problem," Then, I look over at Otto. "And you must be Otto." He grins shyly.
"Heh-heh, yeah, that's me," I grin back at him, then I look over at Gibson.
"You said your friend is close by, right?"
"Yes." I began to take the lead.
"Then, let's go look for him and get you guys out of here." And we did. Hopefully, Scrapperton isn't doing anything to Chiro right now, if he did, that stupid robot would be rip into pieces.
-8-8-8-8-
It's been a few minutes since Chiro decided to be with Scrapperton, till Otto came by my side and ask me a question.
"So, you don't work for Scrapperton?" I gotten mad and glare at him deadly.
"Do I look like a henchman for that stupid freak of piece of scrap metal, who also went after me earlier?!" Seeing him held his hands up to defend himself, I calmed down and felt a vein popping out of my head. "Just be glad I didn't attack you guys like those red robots did."
"Sorry, just curious." He laughed nervously and hid himself behind Nova, seeing her facepalmed. Then, we continue walking with Gibson leading and seeing Otto searching for whatever he's looking for.
"We're closing in on whatever is jamming Sprx's comm signal," I hear Gibson till I hear Otto being so excited.
"Ooh, ooh, a TK-421," He said, holding a piece of blue bolt. "You know what I could build with one of these?" Seeing Nova stretch her arm out to pull him back and telling him to stay quiet, because three red robots are guarding a giant door after we've hid ourselves.
"I'll handle them," Antauri said. I nodded, then he goes by crawling a broken pillar with his ghost hands and then, landed and just attack the robots right through the middle of their armor. Seeing them exploded, Antauri look over at Nova. "Nova, we need to get beyond that door." Looking up at the giant door, I heard her say this.
"I'll give it to Scrapperton," She said after releasing her giant fists. "He knows how to build stuff, but I can break anything." And began to rapid fire punches on the door, which it could take a while.
Hearing Otto saying he needs some string, I shaken my head and stop Nova for a bit. Seeing her look confuse, I release one of my magnets.
"Allow me," I smirked, then the monkeys back away after I began to release my attack. "Proton Slam!" Slamming my magnet against the door, I did it again till the door fallen in.
"Huh, that's one way to do it," Nova said, seeing her grin at me. "Nice work."
"Thanks." I grin back and Antauri went in.
"Sprx." He called when all of us came in and I saw the red monkey behind the gate. "Sprx?"
"So, that's Sprx," I said softly, seeing Otto going up to gate, he release his saw.
"I got him," Seeing half of the gate disappeared, the monkeys went in to see their friend. With him looking up upset.
"He took my hands," He said. "My beautiful hands, he gave me these!" Hearing the team in a bit of shock at the sight of human hands, I couldn't help to snicker.
He's so melodramatic, I thought.
"Wow, can you crack your knuckles?" I hear Otto, causing myself to giggle. Not until I hear the ceiling being opened, releasing a vacuum for everyone to get sucked in, including me, sliding down in a hole with all of us screaming and gotten out to land in front of Chiro and Scrapperton.
"There, happy?" I heard Scrapperton as I quickly stood up and get ready.
"Chiro, get over here," I tell him as he did, hearing him and Sprx interact while I release my magnets for what Scrapperton did to Sprx, protecting the group. "Give Sprx his magnets back now, Scrapperton." The creep chuckled.
"Tick-tock, afraid I'm not quite done with them just yet," Releasing the red version like my own since it's pale blue-lilac, everyone was in shock, even Sprx. "I've got plans, big plans." And everyone gotten ready, poor Sprx doesn't have his weapon.
But, I got him covered.
"Now, what was it the red monkey said?" Oh, no. "Oh, yes, Magnoball Blazer!"
"Magnetic Shield!" Creating a barrier to protect everyone, I held on, but it didn't last much long. The attack was strong enough to lift the group, including me.
Getting hit with the magnets, Scrapperton released another to release us, more like thrown us against a wall, hearing the group cried out in pain and landed on the floor. I didn't fallen to the floor, I've fallen into Scrapperton's arms.
"You're coming with me, my dear, tick-tock," I was too hurt to fight, I passed out.
-8-8-8-8-
I don't know how long I was out till I hear Scrapperton's chatter. Sitting up, I groan a little. "Ooh, this is the second time I feel like I wanna throw up.
And it's true since the first time like earlier after I've woke up. Hearing the commotion, I notice I'm in a cage with those electric gates, Scrapperton is sitting on his "throne" when I realize, where are Chiro and the other monkeys?
"Ah, did you enjoy your little nap, my dear? Tick-Tock," I glare at him.
"What have you done to the group?" I scolded him. He chuckles again when I notice a big generator looking thing appeared from the floor with Sprx's magnets on top of it. "What's that?" Seeing it release a light beam to the nearest planet. I gasped. "What in the world?" Hearing voices from a screen, Scrapperton is watching what's going on.
"Tick-tock, soon my collection will be the whole world closer to completion," What?!
"I don't think so," I heard Chiro when we look over and boy, I never thought I've felt relieved. "That's no collectible, that's my home." He and the other monkeys are okay, well, minus that besides Sprx, they don't have their hands.
Of course, Scrapperton would take their hands, I thought with annoyance. Chiro went ahead and fought first, seeing Scrapperton gotten hit, but something tells me he got something else on his sleeve.
"I suppose that would have hurt," Scrapperton said. "Had I been human." Releasing the monkeys' weapons behind him to use them for his advantage, along with the red robots again.
"I knew it," I murmured, growling since I can't get out.
"I'll handle Scrapperton, you guys handle his machines," Chiro said to the monkeys.
"Handle them?" Otto waved his arms in panicked. "We got no hands!" I mentally facepalmed at his cuteness.
Stop it, Artemis! I shake my head a bit.
Hearing Sprx's failed joke, the team went to work with Chiro fighting Scrapperton and the monkeys with the robots. In sparring combat however they can. I even watched Chiro fighting the creep that Scrapperton used the monkeys' weapons on him. Not until I saw a blue blur head up to the generator and it was Gibson.
Seeing him trying to knock down an arm, he forgot he-
"I'm made of metal, too!" He shouted.
"Gibson!" I called out, releasing my magnet through the gates. "Magnetic Shield!" Even though it made for a barrier, it can also hold down something metal to the ground, like Gibson.
"Whoa-oh!" I heard him cried. "Thank you, Artemis!" I grunted.
"Don't-mention-" Not until I got myself electrocuted. "Yahhh!" Causing my shield to fade and Gibson send flying again. "Oh, no!"
"Hang on, Gibson!" Nova managed to save him in time, with guys helping her with their handless arms and Sprx being the last one to grab the handle with his human hands.
Hearing Chiro is struggling, I went ahead release my magnet again and used my beam to attack at Scrapperton to be distracted while Chiro went ahead and pull Nova's giant fist off of him. Scrapperton managed to focus and release the other fist, but Chiro managed to kick it out of the creep.
"Now, that is just rude," He said, whacking Chiro out.
"Chiro!" I called out.
"Young Chiro," I growled. "I will collect it all eventually, why not get your upgrade over with?" Not until I saw Sprx released his Yo-Yo, grabbing the staff and tossed it over at the giant wheel of the cannon. Seeing it began to fall apart. "Tick-tock, I must fix!" Seeing his head came out of his body, he flew over to his staff.
"What the?" I was confused, so was Chiro when we hear Scrapperton calling out his staff to get out of the wheel. Then, once the power of the generator is out, the monkeys fallen to the floor.
"Wahh!" Hearing Scrapperton of how the generator is getting ready to explode.
"Uh-oh," I look over at the monkey team, seeing them that they gotten their hands back and then, Otto came in.
"Stand back." And I did and then, he broke me free.
"Thanks, Otto-whoa!"
"Whoa!" Chiro cried out when we all began to float in the air. "That thing powers the artificial gravity," He said, looking over at the generator.
"That's the least of our worries," Gibson said. "That thing is going into critical overload." Seeing other scraps and parts also began to float, into the opening of the ceiling above us.
Including Scrapperton, hearing him whining about his collection. "Your collection is history, Scrapperton, let's go!"
"Don't touch me!" The creep snapped, almost whacking Chiro out as I flew in and protect him. Seeing the violet head creep grinning like crazy. "I'm starting a new collection, yes, tick-tock." And he ignored us while I pulled Chiro to the monkeys.
"You guys have to get out of here," I tell them.
"Unfortunately, we'll never make it back to the super robot on foot," Gibson said. Not until Chiro saw something.
"We don't have to," Pointing to the direction, there was a red ship that seem belongs to Sprx.
"Go on, get out of here," I pushed Chiro and Sprx to the ship. But, Sprx grabs my hand. "Huh?"
"No way you're staying behind, girly, you're coming with us." What? And he did, drag me over with Chiro catching me and bought me in with Sprx came in after us and began to get us out of the base.
Even though the ship is a bit small, but Chiro lets me be on his head while Sprx pilots his ship out to the team's Super Robot. Dodging at every scrap metal falling, so he won't get hit. Then, we've seen an opening from above and gotten out, seeing the giant robot.
"Whoa, is that the Super Robot?" I asked curiously. Seeing that it's a humanoid robot with a square head and a square torso.
"It is," Chiro said with a grin, till we heard Sprx cheering.
"Ho, ho, yeah," He cheered. "Who's the monkey with the moves?" He laughed while the rest look at him annoyed, with me giggling a bit. "Just telling it like it is." I scoffed till his ship is combine back as the Super Robot's fist.
I stayed with him while the rest went to their respective cargo and the Super Robot began to fly out of the wasteland. Hearing it exploded behind us, Sprx cheered and I went ahead punch him on his arm.
"Ouch, hey." He scowled.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you're annoying?" He scowled even more and I giggle a bit.
A bit later...
"There's no point in saving those hands, Sprx," Nova said when the four of us are staring at the hands that Sprx managed to remove and put it in a tube.
"I don't know," Otto stated. "I could use a good back scratcher," Nova nudge him on his waist. "What? Just saying."
"Scan shows no bios, no mechs, no nothing," I hear Gibson while the trio went back to their cargo area. "In short, no Scrapperton."
"He must have vaporized when the neutron generator went." I hear Antauri till I thought about it. I even release one of my magnets to check it out, till hearing Chiro that he and the team are heading back to the city.
Along with me with them.
