Sorry everybody, last chapter. But to make it special I made this chapter especially long. And for that reason I expect a lot of excellent reviews. This story has been a lot of fun to write and a lot of torment for the rest of you (mua ha ha) I apologize for not having this up by Wednesday as I had suggested, but like I said, I made it extra long to make up for it. Please review I'd really appreciate it and now I shall thank the reviewers who reviewed chapter seven! Thanks again!

Chapter 8
"Okay if we…nah, that won't work. Well, maybe if we just…Oh that won't do it either. Oh! I got it! We'll just hafta…actually, no," Otto thought out loud to himself.
"Ah, Otto cut it out-you're giving me a migraine," SPRX-77 yelled in frustration.
"Well excuse me for living, Sparks. I'm just trying go figure us out a way out of here."
"Oh, stop you two. The only way we will be able to get out of this situation is by working together," Antauri told them, "And…"
"Working together…" pondered Gibson.
"Yes, working together. And…" Antauri began again.
Gibson quoted Antauri again, "working together…"
"That's what he said," SPRX-77 said, apparently becoming annoyed.
Suddenly, they heard the laser near the ceiling start to draw a charge.
"Well team, this is it," SPRX-77 began, "actually, I have a confession to make. Back on that other planet, well, I DIDN'T REFILL THE FUEL! It's my fault we're stuck here! I just kinda forgot to!"
"It's your fault I've been eaten by a fish almost twice?"
The charge sounded almost complete.
"Working together…" repeated Gibson for the final time, "that's it!" Gibson looked over at SPRX-77, "Sparks!" he yelled.
"I know, I know, I'm sorry."
"Sparks! Pull yourself together!" Gibson was yelling and talking quickly now.
"Huh?" SPRX-77 asked.
The laser had finished charging.
"Use your magnets, and pull the mirror top towards you twenty seven degrees!"
"What?" SPRX-77 asked once more.
"NOW!" Gibson yelled as he closed his eyes, the laser beam almost reaching the mirror.
With split-second timing, SPRX-77 used his magnets and pulled the top of the mirror towards him, tipping it towards the floor. The lasers hit the mirror and bored into the ground. Gibson opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
That same instant, the giant rock above their heads started to fall.
"Aaaaaaaaah!" Otto yelled.
Gibson smiled. He was now totally calm.
The earth trembled and a strong spray of water burst through the ground. The laser had hit the ground, bored into the underground river, where the pressure of the water had enough pressure to shoot straight up through the ground with amazing power.
The water stream was large enough to hold the entire boulder several dozen feet off of the ground.
Otto felt relief, but it was short lived. He noticed that the boulder was slipping off of the stream of water, and directly towards him.
He yelled again as the boulder slipped off of the water stream and though most of it went over his head, he saw the edge of it draw nearer and nearer to him.
Gibson was still at peace.
The rock fell and just missed Otto's head. The colossal rock's edge crushed the rock that he was tied to.
Otto looked up. As glad as he was about being free, those heat-seeking knives were coming straight towards him.
"Otto! Set Antauri free!" yelled Gibson.
Not questioning his friend for a nanosecond, Otto bolted over and cut easily through Antauri's bonds.
'I knew it' thought Gibson 'anything that resistant to energy would naturally be easily defeated by physical attacks.'
Antauri jumped free and held up his energy claws, stopping the sharp knives centimeters away from their heads.
Antauri moved the knives over to the other side of the room and threw them into the ground, completely destroying them. Then, rushing over to Gibson and SPRX-77, Antauri easily released them.
The other three monkeys gathered around Gibson, patting him on the back, rubbing his head (in guy-ish fashion) and otherwise congratulating him.
"Guess it's a good thing you got that big brain, Brain Strain!"
"Definitely good thinking, Gibson."
"Nice job!"
"Way to think on your feet!"
"I knew you could do it."
"Hey, hey," Gibson said, stopping them, "I couldn't have done it without you. We simply did it by working together."
"Well then team," Antauri began, "let's go save Chiro and stop Sakko."
They didn't know that Chiro no longer needed help.
Sakko watched the quick moves of the monkey team on his monitor, each time growling louder at their victories, his defeats.
"Ha!" Chiro exclaimed, "Beaten again by the monkey team! I knew they could do it.
Sakko growled again and bounded over to the machine that controlled Chiro's suspension.
"Well," he said, "I may not be rid of the monkey team, but I can be rid of their leader!"
Sakko flipped the switch unhooking the metal right that held Chiro from the chain which held him up.
"Woooooah!" Chiro yelled. He saw the water grow closer and closer, and felt the warmth increase on his skin.
Though right before he hit the water, he felt a force pulling him away from it by his shirt. It let go of him when he was back above solid ground.
It took him a second to realize what was happening, for he was quite dazed from his near death experience. When he looked up he saw Sakko and Nova in close combat.
Sakko had grabbed several various weapons, and it was obviously a close battle.
Nova swiped at Sakko with her fists and Sakko would defend himself with one large object and attack her with another, but she, too, would dodge.
His height (or lack thereof) seemed to be an advantage because he could move faster and avoid her attacks.
Nova attacked with both of her hands. Sakko jumped behind her, picked up an electrically charged probe from a counter, and thrust it into her back.
She cried out as electricity surged through her body, then fell to the ground on her stomach. She was weak, but still alive. She struggled to push herself up, but couldn't.
Chiro jumped to his feet, but with his arms still stuck to his sides in the cuff, he lost his balance and fell over.
Sakko grabbed a large laser gun off of the table and charged it, pointing at Nova. "Say goodbye, Nova."
Before he cold fire, he felt the gun lift out of his hands. Spooked, he let go of it.
Antauri, Gibson, SPRX-77, and Otto walked through the door, a line of destroyed robots behind it.
"Thank you," Antauri said, levitating the weapon, then sending it into the boiling pool of water.
"Errrrgh! Do you never tire of ruing my upper hand?" Sakko asked.
"Never," replied Otto.
Sakko grabbed his electrical probe again, holding it an inch away from Nova. "Nobody moves, or she gets it."
Gibson looked at SPRX-77, who looked back at him. They nodded towards each other.
Gibson jumped high in the air, attracting the attention of Sakko. In that split second, SPRX-77 turned on his magnets and pulled the golden monkey towards him.
Realizing his defeat, Sakko looked for a quick way to regain the upper hand. Desperate, he threw the probe at Gibson, but it was a terrible miss and fell to the ground.
"Nice throw Cyclops," SPRX-77 yelled.
Gibson landed from his jump and turned around to face the small chimp. "Cybovac Drill Blaster!" Gibson yelled, as he attacked Sakko with his lasers which shot out of his drills.
Sakko yelled. He knew that defeat was being snatched out of victory's jaws. He spun around, readying himself to jump upon Gibson with all of his fury.
"Monkey Mind Scream!" Suddenly, Sakko felt his head spin and ache with Antauri's attack. While Antauri was attacking, Gibson grabbed onto the cuff around Chiro and used his lasers to melt the metal and release him.
Nova regained strength and pushed herself up on her hands and knees.
SPRX-77, who was crouched, ready to attack, noticed her, and then helped her to her feet.
"You okay, Nova?" he asked.
"I'm fine," Nova replied, "but it's time to obliterate that little pest."
"Then how about a little teamwork?"
"Sounds good to me!"
SPRX-77 and Nova jumped up in unison yelling in perfect harmony "Double Monkey Attack!" Sakko only had time to spin around before he got a good hard kick by both the red and yellow monkeys.
Otto too had to join in on the action. He put his saws together creating two large tornados of energy. "Tornado Kablasto!" he yelled. The tornados came together around Sakko, picked him up and threw him across the room.
Sakko realized that he could not win. It was time to retreat.
All six members of the monkey team joined together. Standing as one unified team, they teamed up and attacked with their energy attacks at the same time.
"Monkey Fu!"
"Spin Shocker!"
"Scritch Scratch Doomthrower!"
"Magna Tingler Blast!"
"Monkey Mind Scream!"
"Sting Ring!"
Sakko saw all of the attacks coming straight towards him. Thinking fast, he found a useful tool behind him. He picked up a remote and pushed the button in the middle of it. He formed a force field around himself that protected him from the attacks. With another button, the force field fit to his body to become a force field suit.
He viewed the pool of boiling hot water and jumped into it, being protected by the suit. He swam away avoiding capture and permanent defeat by the monkey team.
The hyperforce ran over to the pool, but knew they could not pursue their enemy any further.
"Well, we beat him," Chiro said. "Hey Nova, thanks for that awesome save!"
"No problem Chiro," Nova accepted, "but I never could have survived if it hadn't been for Gibson and Sparks's smooth moves!"
"You should have seen Antauri in the other room," SPRX-77 said.
"Or Otto! He was lightening fast," commended Gibson.
As the team started to reminisce about their adventure, Chiro walked around the room. On a counter near the edge of the room, he saw a clipboard and picked it up.
"Would you look at this!" Chiro exclaimed. "It's an agenda of Sakko's plan."
The team ran over to look.
Chiro read the list,
"1. Set up base in abandoned caves on a deserted or vacant planet. (Make sure to use a scrambler to disguise any signs of residency or electronic activity.)
2. Plant formless clones of people on last known other-world activity of hyperforce to avoid refilling of fuel at any cost.
3. Judge distances accordingly and use magnets to draw in an immobile Super Robot.
4. Release large animals to attack and injure as many members as possible, capture all members
5. Use methods to destroy team.
6. Take over Shuggazoom City."
"Boy, he makes it sound easy," Otto remarked.
"We fell for it all," Gibson noted, "everything happened exactly as he had expected."
"Not everything," Antauri reminded him, "we were victorious, and he was not."
"True. Very true," agreed SPRX-77.
"Yeah, when it boils down to it, he was easy to beat," Otto said, shifting his weight and leaning onto a nearby ledge.
Unfortunately, Otto didn't realize that there was a button on that ledge, a very important button which Otto pressed.
"WARNING: SELF DESTRUCT INITIATED. HOT WATER FLOW ENGAGED. FLOOD DOORS OPENING," the team heard a voice boom over the loud speaker
"Whoops," Otto blushed.
"Monkey team, let's get out of here!" Chiro yelled.
The team scrambled from the door they had entered through. Gibson turned one of his gadgets, and began leading them down different tunnels.
"How can that thing tell us which way to go?" SPRX-77 asked him.
"I'm basing the direction we head upon our general latitude and longitude along with the latitude and longitude of the general area Antauri told me he came from, which should offer a way out and I add that data to…"
SPRX-77 rolled his eyes, "I'm sorry I asked."
Nova glanced behind her, "I can feel the heat! Tell me we're almost there!"
"Better than that," said Gibson, "we are there!"
Ahead of them was the large metal fish with his mouth open. The team jumped into the water and turned on their jet packs and rebreathers(all except Chiro, whom Antauri grabbed onto).
The team went as fast as they could and reached the surface, leaving the boiling hot water at their back. Several pieces of scrap metal and remains of the robots floated to the surface of the lake.
Otto looked at Gibson, and Gibson looked at Otto.
"Do ya think…?" asked Otto, staring back at the floating pieces of metal.
"Actually Otto, I think so."
Back at the robot, the entire crew was helping to reconstruct it. Repairing broken machinery, reconstructing broken parts and ripped cords and wiring. Everyone was chipping in to help out.
Gibson had found some intact fuel tanks which he had used to refill their reserves and restore power to the robot.
Finally, the robot was back in tip top shape.
"Looks pretty good," commented Otto. "You know, I may end up missing this place. Scenic views, native animals, exotic foods…" A bug landed on Otto's arm. "Aaaa!" he grabbed a flamethrower (A/N: Yay for my flamethrower! I knew I'd get it in!) off of the ground and sprayed it wildly, frying the bug.
"Sure. We can all tell you'll miss it," SPRX-77 said, rolling his eyes.
"Well team, let's get going. I don't know about you, but I could really go for a hover burger right about now, or maybe a holographic ice cream cone. Mmmmmm…"
Antauri chuckled, "Well then. We'd better get going before Chiro implodes."
Everyone laughed as the team headed into the super robot, ready to head home.
The team all sat in their chairs in the main control room talking over their experience.
"So I heard this noise," Otto told, "turns outit was Gibson screaming like a girl."
"I beg your pardon!" defended Gibson, "never in my life have I ever screamed like a girl!"
"I dunno Gibson, I heard it, too," Nova said.
"It must have been someone else," Gibson said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Oh, Big Brain, give it up! We've all been known to do crazy things in upright fear," commented SRPX-77.
"Fear? Ha! I don't even know the meaning of the word. Though, Sparks there was that time that you-"
"If you even think of mentioning that time that I-"
"Hey cut it out you guys," Nova said, getting between them.
"Nah, let them battle it out," said Otto.
"Both of you cut it out! This is between me and Gibson!"
"Gibson and I"
Before they knew it, the foursome was in a big argument, again.
Antauri and Chiro looked across the room at each other. Then, deciding to leave it alone, got up and headed over to their transport tubes. As they headed up to their rooms, Antauri could be heard saying, "Some things never change."
The End
