Artemis, the Sixth Monkey

The Sun Riders

APOV

After the incident with Scrapperton, the team told me that the city they've landed on is their home, known as Shuggazoom City. Pretty cool city, I might add. But, I tried to remember if I recall about the city, nothing.

"Not even fast food restaurants or going out for a swim?" Otto asked me curiously. I shake my head a bit.

"Nothing," Gibson is also checking out my scans through my brain since he put wires there, which I totally understand. The guys are trying to help me to remember. "I don't even know why I have this power since I don't remember meeting you guys before."

"Hm," Gibson hummed, seeing him having the scanner like before. "Well, according to the data, your scans appear to be normal," He look up at me. "There's nothing wrong with your neuro-system nor circulation, either. You appear just fine, Artemis."

"Hm, okay, thanks, anyway, Gibson," I tell him, began to take off the wires. "If anything, I'll let you know." He nodded, then he and Otto helps me down from the bed table. "Thanks." Then, Chiro came in.

"Hey, how did it go?" He asked.

"Gibson said I appeared just fine," I tell him truthfully.

"Really?" I nodded. "Not even remembering about the city?" I shake my head a bit.

"It's okay, though," I said. "I'm sure I'll remember something eventually, I just wanted to take my time, you know?"

"That's absolutely correct," Gibson agreed. "Take as much time as you need, Artemis. Don't force yourself."

"I won't," I have a feeling me and Gibson would have an older brother-younger sister relationship, which I didn't mind. I have the same feeling with Antauri from the moment I've sense the Power Primate most from him. Probably becoming my master, too, so I can learn more about it while I take my time with my memory.

"Wait, where's she going to sleep?" Otto asked, causing the trio to look at me and I smiled.

"I can make a hammock and sleep somewhere, I'm okay with that."

"Are you sure? We just want to make you feel comfortable here and being with us," Chiro said, which made me smile even more.

"I'm sure, I don't mind." I said truthfully. "Thank you, though. I'm actually quite comfortable, now I'm learning more about you guys, you guys are actually pretty cool." That made them smile, making me giggle a bit.

So, Otto was sweet enough to bring me a blanket and I began to make my hammock in the room he shares with the rest of the monkeys. I'm going to be sleeping above Nova, so me and her can chat sometimes.

"You sure you're going to be okay sleeping up there, Artemis?" Nova asked me. I look down at her and smile.

"I'm sure, Nova," She smiles back. "Good night."

"Good night." She said it back, then I look over at the guys.

"Good night, fellas."

"Good night, Artemis." Antauri said.

"Good night." Gibson yawned and hug a small pink tube as a teddy bear, which the sight made me giggle some more.

"G'night," Sprx snored. Then, I look over at Otto, seeing him going to sleep upside down, smiling over at me.

"Good night, Artie," He said. I raise a brow, seeing him gotten the hint. "Uh, unless, you don't like it, I can-"

"It's fine, Otto," I grin at him. "Good night." And the two of us went to sleep. I already said my good night to Chiro before Otto bought me over to the room and I have a feeling I'm going to sleep perfectly fine since I woke up in Scrapperton's realm the first time.

Believe me, sleeping on the pile of scrap metal isn't comfortable to begin with.

Not even within ten minutes later, all of us woken up with a loud thud. Climbing out, I've follow the monkeys to the command center while Antauri went to go check on Chiro when I hear him sounding like...

"Is that a battle cry?" I asked, then all of us went to the command center and sure enough, Chiro is doing a sparring combat, with the big screen on with three humans who appeared as...superheroes?

He jumped up and did a pose like the one in the middle. "Heh-heh, uh, what's up, guys?"

Within few hours later, Chiro is dressed and have the big screen on again with those superheroes. Antauri lets me sit on his orb while he levitates above it and Chiro began to explain.

"What I'm about to share with you is the coolest superhero team ever," He said.

"Whoa, a little love here?" Sprx joked.

"I meant on TV," Obviously. "They're the reason why I wanted to be a superhero." Huh? "Meet the Sun Riders." Seeing the screen showing what appeared a red monster with wings as its ears and began to roar.

Then, the next scene shows three shadow figures, which turns those heroes we've seen earlier last night. With the monster, who seems to be a dragon hybrid, fires his fire breathing attack at the three heroes and they managed to jump away and began to fight the monster.

"Sun Gun, Dazzle Stun!" A woman cried out, wearing an orange-white stripes dress with black thigh length boots, has a helmet with visor she can see and long black hair, holding a red gun.

"Aurora Six," Chiro continued. "She can stun any monsters with her Sun Gun." Hearing him and Sprx going love crazy for the woman.

"Oh, please." Nova said sarcastically while I roll my eyes.

"Solar Helmet, Hot Sun!" The other human seems to be an older man, also wearing an orange-white stripes suit with an orange helmet that shaped as the sun itself and used it to release an attack like he did on the monster.

"Super Quasar, he leads the Sun Riders and wields the power of a thousand sun," Chiro explained, hearing Antauri and Otto being amazed by the character.

The next scene shows the monster threw a vehicle at the Sun Riders with the last member releasing a black orb attack.

"Blackhole Blackout!" He has red hair, also wearing orange-white stripes suit and freckles around his face. Seeing the vehicle have disappear.

"The next is Johnny Sunspot," Chiro said. "The kid sidekick genius who builds all the team's gadgets. His gloves can make black holes." I snorted a bit. I even saw Gibson smirked a little.

"Hmph," He started. "Black hole energy is extremely unstable," I giggled. "Bringing his gloves together like that could destroy the universe."

"Okay, Dr. Brain Strain," Annoyed Chiro. "Check out the sun cycles, awesome, huh?" Seeing the trio riding their cycles."And the best of all, they have the coolest, um, second coolest Super Robot in the galaxy," Seeing the robot appeared to be a giant orb with, you guessed it, orange and white stripes. "Nebutron Seven."

"Comet Clobber!" Seeing the red monster being bonked on the head couple of times and then, bonked to the ground, buried beneath it and the Sun Riders came out and did an outro.

"Light!"

"Above Darkness!"

"Forever!"

"Sun Riders, Fight On!" Chiro and the trio said in unison, with the kid posing like that Johnny guy. "Say it, Do it, Live it." Seeing the rest of the monkeys look so confuse, thank goodness the alarm sensors went off.

"We've got multiple Skeleton King forces invading the city," Nova said when she look at the screen. "Kind of early, isn't it?"

"We'll have Formless for breakfast," Chiro said. "Monkeys, mobilize!"

"You guys go on ahead," I said. "I'll see what the Formless are tracking from here." Chiro nodded, then the team went to work.

"Foot Crusher Cruiser 6, go!"

"Foot Crusher Cruiser 5, go!"

"Fist Rocket 4, go!"

"Fist Rocket 3, go!"

"Brain Scrambler Pilot 2, go!"

"Torso Tank Driver 1, go!"

"Get ready to disengage." I said, felt the Super Robot split apart, watching the rest of the team on screen. "Is anyone getting any visual of what's going on?" I asked. Seeing the screen shows the Formless.

"The Formless are in pursuit of someone." Antauri explained.

"No way."

"You gotta be kidding me." I murmured.

What I'm seeing on screen is those three superheroes, the Sun Riders. They're being chased by the Formless and the three managed to fight back with the attacks that Chiro mentioned earlier. Seeing the big round robot release his giant saw, it blasted an attack at the Sun Riders, hearing them that they gotten hit.

Hearing the woman, sorry, Aurora Six called out for that Johnny guy, but I heard him say that his gloves are jammed.

Weird, I thought. There's something fishy going on with this situation. Not until I sense an evil presence when I heard his voice.

"Give up now, Sun Riders, and I promise you won't feel a thing." I shivered.

Who was that? And why did I sense his presence inside the torso tank? Hearing Chiro called out a battle formation, I saw the team went ahead attack the Formless and seeing Sprx and Gibson blasted at the round robot and saw it went down to the ground.

"Nice work, guys," I said over the comm, but I've felt the tank stopped, looking up at the screen and saw Chiro told the Sun Riders to get inside of the tank. "Oh, great." I got a bad feeling about this.

-8-8-8-8-

About few minutes later, Chiro is in his fanboy mode, asking his favorite superheroes random questions, especially I heard him asked that the trio were real on TV till I hear them responded this.

"Of course, Cheero," Johnny said. "After the show ended, we wanted something more." Huh?

"We gave up our lives as performers and embraced the fight against true evil." Quesar explained.

"Skeleton King," Aurora Six said, seeing the trio kind of look creepy in real life than on TV.

"We know him," Chiro said. "Hey, I got an idea." Oh, no. "Why don't we join forces and fight the old bone bag together?" He's joking, right?

"That's a solar idea!" Seeing the monkeys nervously grin at the humans, besides me and Gibson when we look at each other.

"Chiro." Gibson called.

"Not now, entertaining." Chiro said and he goes ahead shows the Sun Riders around. I folded my arms.

"Hm." Within few minutes later, the trio went their separate ways with Chiro showing Johnny around with Gibson by his side, Antauri with Quesar and Nova fixing Aurora's bike with Sprx being lovely dovey on the woman, letting her pet him underneath his chin.

Seeing that made my fur rise up a bit. Wait, what?! Since when do I-

"Got to admit, Cheero," I hear Johnny. "Pretty super setup you've got here." Seeing the trio came into the command center.

"Thanks," Chiro said. "By the way, where's your robot? The Nebutron Seven?" Hey, yeah.

"I was just gonna ask Aurora Six about that," I look over at her, seeing her grin at me.

"Well, aren't you to prettiest purple monkey I've ever seen." She said, petting my head while I grew suspicious even more.

"Oh, uh, we have to leave it at, um, Star Base X-22," Johnny said. "Because, it needed repairs."

"Curious," Gibson cuts in. "I've never heard of any Star Base X-22." Even the smart monkey is suspicious about the Sun Riders, too.

I didn't hear what Johnny told Gibson, but hearing him and Chiro laughing, made my fur crawl. Not until Chiro asked if the Sun Riders can give him some sparring lessons while the rest of us fix their bikes. I rather go and see what those heroes are going to do with Chiro.

"Hey, where you going, Artemis?" I hear Otto when I look over at him.

"I'm gonna go see what those Sun Riders are up to," I said. "You guys wanna come with me?" And they did when Otto, Antauri and Nova began to bring down the bikes to the training room downstairs.

Once we've made it, my eyes widen at the sight. Chiro is in Johnny's Blackhole Blackout attack, hearing him and the rest telling him about the Skeleton King, about them being alliance with him.

Sprx goes ahead and uses his magnet to get Johnny's zapper, causing the trio to look over at us as we get ready.

"Uh, we fix your motorcycles," Otto said. Seeing Chiro jumped over to us and taken off the jacket.

"I can't believe it," He said, sounding upset, too. "My heroes are nothing, but gadget bad guys?" Then, he look angry. "Well, now you're gonna take on the real thing."

"That's why we're here, Cheero," Ugh, I hate it the way Johnny pronounced Chiro's name wrong.

"Hey, Gibson," Chiro called. "How about turning off the lights, just to make things more interesting?" Ooh, I like where this is it going. Chiro look over at me. "Care to join us, Artemis?" I smirked, releasing my magnets.

"Do you have to ask?" And the lights were off. With me starting off. "Negative Beam!"

"Lady Tomahawk!" With the two of us attacking Aurora Six.

"Whirling Destructo Saw!" Seeing Otto attacked Quesar.

"Magna Tingler Blast!" And Sprx attacked Johnny with Chiro giving them the final blow.

"Thunder Punch!" Seeing the trio crashed onto the wall while the lights came back on. Till Johnny look up at us.

"We haven't shown you all our special effects," He said, causing him, Aurora and Quesar joined hands. "Super Solar Strike!" Seeing a bright orange-black light appeared from them and attacked us directly onto the wall.

All of us cried out in pain after we landed on the floor, with me landing on Sprx by accident. "Oof, ow."

"Sorry, Sprx." I tell him after I got off him. "You okay?"

"Yeah, you?"

"I'm fine," Hearing Chiro of how the trio are going to pay for what they did.

"Chiro, we must retreat," Antauri said and we did.

Chiro jumped on the bike with me landing on his head and the rest on the passenger basket and we began to leave with the Sun Riders began attacking us with their weapons. Chiro rode to the wall, which the door opened from the Super Robot's chest and jumped off, continue to drive us away from the Sun Riders.

Hearing Sprx chirped, the Super Robot began to move. "We've got nothing to worry about, they're not real pilots, they just play them on TV."

Not until the Sun Riders figured out of how to use the missiles and attacked us with it.

"They're not playing now!" Nova called out after I landed on Sprx's head.

"Keep driving, Chiro!" I called out and I began to release my barrier. "Magnetic Shield!"

"Hey, watch it, Artie!" Sprx cried out as we managed to escape away after the Super Robot crashed into a building.

-8-8-8-8-

Chiro took us to the cargo bay area as he came into a stop, seeing him look so upset after what happened.

"Now that they have Skeleton King's gadgets and our Super Robot, we're done for." He said.

"A hero is not defined by the tool he uses," Antauri said. "But by the purpose with which he uses them."

"Then, we're lousy heroes," Chiro cried. "The only chance we got is to find a giant robot, like maybe…."

"The Nebutron Seven?" That was from Gibson when we look over at him. "Chiro, I'm afraid there's something you should see." I gotten the idea.

Since the Sun Riders only appeared on TV, Gibson told Chiro to take us to the studio where they filmed the show.

"The old TV studio where they filmed the Sun Riders series," See? Till we've seen a familiar number that Johnny told Chiro and Gibson earlier of where they have their robot repaired.

"Star Base X-22, huh?" I've felt annoyed. Sprx jumped off.

"Heh-heh, I got it," Using his magnets, he goes ahead and busted the doors open for us. Seeing familiar feet inside.

"The Nebutron Seven," Chiro cried out happily as we began to head inside. Turns out, as soon Gibson jumps up to turn on the lights, we're only seeing half of the Nebutron Seven.

"Where's the rest of it?" I asked.

"Over there." I heard Sprx when we look and saw the other one already in one piece, but seems to be fallen apart.

"Look bigger on TV," Chiro really look upset.

"So it's a little small, I'm sure it's tough as-" Nova was cut off when she accidentally punch the foot of the robot, causing all of us to be in shock, yet worried when she said Oops.

Seeing the robot is about to fall, me and her jump in and get on the other side, so the robot won't actually fallen over, seeing the guys look so done for with Chiro having a panic attack.

"Ahh, that's it," He cried out. "I gave up!" Seeing him kneeled with his hands on his hair.

"If this was some TV show, we could give up," Sprx explained. "But, this is the real world, kid."

"And real heroes fight on." Antauri stated with Chiro's eyes filled with tears, then gave up again. I sighed in disbelief till I saw Otto began to repair the robot.

Seeing Nova look over at me and Sprx, we smiled and began to help Otto out to rebuild the Nebutron Seven.

Sprx uses his magnets to lift the parts given to Gibson and Otto, then they given some to Nova and Antauri to fix the top while I began to work around the right leg area, with Chiro joining in to fix the left leg and all six of us were very happy to see him being himself and helping out.

After the robot is done by Chiro completing it with a painting of the team's symbol, we all cheered for a job's well done, with me giving Otto a high five till we've felt the warehouse quake.

"Apparently we're going to find out sooner than expected," Gibson said, then we began to climb into the small robot. With Chiro taking the main uh, control with Nova and Otto controlling the feet and the rest of us stayed where we are.

Hearing the kid calling out what his "heroes" called out, I look over at him. "Can we just go out there? It's bad enough that I'm already gotten the creeps for you to continue being like them."

He gave me a sweatdrop, yet nervous grin on his face. "Heh, sorry, Artemis."

"It's okay," I tell him. "Let's just go stop them, okay?" And we did. Feeling the small robot moving with the trio controlling it, we manage to get outside and well, the Nebutron Seven is WAY smaller than the Super Robot. It's my turn to laugh nervously.

"Right," Even Chiro felt annoyed. Till we saw the torso have transformed into that stupid sun symbol.

"Now they've gone too far!" Nova snapped.

"Deploy the Comet Clobber." I hear Chiro. Watching Antauri rotate the wheel to get the clobber out, turns out, it was pretty much useless, I even facepalmed.

"Great." With the team look so embarrassed and in shock, I couldn't get my hands off my face. Not until the Riders decided to blast an attack at us, causing the top of the small robot to start burning.

Me, Sprx and Nova worked together to keep it up, hearing the two straining themselves while I went ahead use my shield to protect all of us.

"Monkey Team," Chiro called out. "Fight on!" Hearing the pedals going in speed, so did the small robot with him controlling it.

The Riders attacked us again, with Chiro controlling the small robot to dodge the attack, so we won't get hit. Whatever they throw at us, he keeps dodging, which that's pretty cool of him.

"Artemis, can you create your shield a little bigger?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Of course," And I went ahead began release my shield while Chiro called out this.

"Activate Nebutron Defenses!"

"Magnetic Shield!" After the team released their weapons, my shield gotten to the size of the robot, so we won't get hit. Seeing the guys' attacks manage to take down the missiles and blocking them, as well. "Whoo-hoo!" I cheered.

"Good job, team!" Chiro also cheered. "Sprx, Gibson, get us out of here." And they did by using their rockets to fly us into the air and around the Super Robot. Seeing the Super Robot trying to knock us down, which it did, causing us to land on the antenna.

Seeing Otto manage to get out and head inside, the Super Robot grab the rest of us and crack the small robot in half, causing my shield to fade away. Seeing the head of the Super Robot closing in, its eyes shut down.

Thank you, Otto, I thought. Hearing myself and the rest felt relieved after he given us a thumb up.

The sun is beginning to rise, so all of us got out of the small robot and climb onto the shoulder of the Super Robot, seeing those "heroes" coming out of the neck area and we're getting ready.

"Keep them separated so they can't use their super solar thingy," Chiro ordered as he began to fight. "Hyperforce, go!"

Johnny was about to, but Chiro punched him out and Aurora Six uses her gun at me and Nova, seeing my friend blocking them with her punches while I went ahead release an attack.

"Electron Shock!" Releasing a light blue beam, just to give Aurora a zap of her own medicine.

"Ah!" She cried out, letting go of her gun for Sprx to catch it. I rolled my eyes when she gave him a flirty smirk. "I thought you liked me." Seeing the idiot blew the smoke out from the gun.

"I do," He said. "They don't." Causing the woman to look over at us and Nova punched her out, of the Super Robot, of course. The three of us grin, till Sprx and Nova gotten hit and sent over the Super Robot.

"Hang on! Magnetic Shield!" Catching them with my shield, Sprx gasped.

"Artemis, behind you!" I was about to look, if weren't for Antauri having back when I saw it was that Quesar guy who was about to attack me from behind. Seeing him punched Antauri out and Chiro and Gibson went after Johnny.

Antauri and Otto worked together to take Quesar out by destroying his helmet, he too, fallen off the Super Robot to join with that woman on the ground. I put Nova and Sprx back on till we heard Otto cried out.

"Watch out!" The five of us got caught of Johnny's blackhole attack.

"I don't need fancy moves or loser teammates to beat you," He said as he began to attack Chiro and Gibson. "Not when I have these.' Mentioning about his gloves, the duo hid themselves underneath the Super Robot's chin.

"Guys." I tried to punch my way out of the stupid attack, but it won't let me.

"Nice try, purple monkey," Johnny look over at me, with a creepy smirk on his face. "Skeleton King told us about you," That name made my fur go up, sending the shiver down to my spine. "He's curious about you, actually, he never told us why till he mentions that he seen you in the junk wasteland, before the Monkey team met up with you."

"How does he know that? He didn't send any of his foot soldiers there," I tell him.

"Can't help you on that one, pretty monkey," Johnny said. "It's too bad I can't destroy you first, since he sent us to destroy Cheero and your new monkey friends." I growled.

"I swear, if you lay a finger on him, you're going to-"

"Hey, Johnny!" The two of us look over at Chiro, seeing him and Gibson that they're surrendering. "Okay, you win, we surrender."

"No, Chiro."

"Uh-uh," Johnny said, getting ready. "Skeleton King wants you gone."

"Well, if you got to," Chiro continue surrendering. "Could you use your Black Hole Blackout power, like you did in episode 16, like you did on your evil twin, for old time's sake?"

"Chiro, what are you doing?" I asked, but he ignored me.

"Huh, you really were a fan of the show," Johnny said as he gets ready. "Say hello to oblivion, Cheero." Seeing his attack is being release, but something's wrong. "Huh?" Johnny's attack exploded, with him sent flying into the air after he screamed.

One by one, the five of us been released, with me being the last one with Otto gave me his head to land on.

"I got you, Artie," I giggle a bit.

"Thanks, Otto." He helped me down, then we joined with Chiro and Gibson.

"You were right, Gibson," The kid look over at Gibson. "Clapping his hands together was bad news." Well, duh! Even I knew that.

"Of course," My newly smart big brother chuckled with his hands to the side. "You really should listen to me more often." I went ahead jump onto his head, hearing him chuckle some more. "Hey, Artemis." I grin at him.

"I know I did," I giggle.

-8-8-8-8-

About few minutes later, after sending the Sun Riders flying into space, the team went inside while I stayed outside, being on top of the Super Robot's head and thought what Johnny had told me about Skeleton King's curiosity about me. Of how he knows that I was in junk wasteland before Scrapperton was destroyed.

I've wondered if he has all the answers, I thought while I look down at my hand.

"Hm," I don't think he does, since again, he was curious about me.

"You okay, Artie?" I heard Sprx when he came in and joined me. I look up at him.

"Since when you started to call me Artie? I thought I allowed Otto to call me that," I tell him, looking back at the view of the city.

"He lets me," I heard him say, which made me roll my eyes. "But, I did came out here to check on you, after the fight we had." I scoffed.

"Don't remind me," I said. "I was just thinking about what Johnny told me earlier."

"What did he say to you?" I look over at him.

"Skeleton King was curious about me," His eyes widen. "Before the junk wasteland was destroyed with Scrapperton."

"You really didn't believe Johnny, did you?"

"I thought about it," Looking back at my hand. "But, like I said before, all I remember is my name, my weapons and Power Primate within me, I don't remember anything if I've met you guys before or who was my creator who created me."

"Whenever Skeleton King is mentioned," I look back at Sprx. "I get goosebumps, all of the sudden. I've wondered if he has answers I'm looking for," His eyes harden.

"Artemis, you're not thinking-" I held my hand.

"No, you dummy, I'm not gonna surrender myself and join him, so I can ask him," I punch his shoulder. "I'm not that stupid."

"Hey," He chuckles a bit. "But, still. Like you said, he was curious, whatever Skeleton King wants something from you, I'm pretty sure he's going to make you to join him and turn against us."

"Are you kidding?" I asked. "I would never turn against you guys, you guys are so cool and amazing, I would never turn myself in to that creepy skeleton weirdo." Causing the two of us to laugh.

"Just don't worry about it, okay?" He said. "Like Gibson said, don't force yourself to remember, let your memory come to you, whenever it can, okay?" I nodded with a grin.

"Thanks, Sprx." He grins back, then the two of us began to get up.

"Are you going to tell the others about this?" I thought about it, then look at him, being serious.

"Keep this between us, like you said, till my memory comes to me, whenever it can." He nodded, then we began to head inside, with Sprx giving me a side hug, causing myself to blush a bit after he said this.

"I got your back, girly, you can count on it."
