Me: Sorry its taken so long to update. I got myself two jobs: babysitting and cooking. I don't have to babysit for a while, so I finally got time to update.

Nova: How's your mouth doing?

Me: So much better. And what makes things better, I'm going to London and Paris!

Nova: Cool, now on with the story please.

Me: Fine. T-T

Nova: No crying.

Return to Shuggazoom

"I can't believe this! She leaves us with no answers and only tells us to find something called 'Dragon Phoenix'." Sprx shouted.

"Calm down, Sprx. Yelling will get us nowhere and I believe that 'Dragon Phoenix' is not a something, but a someone." said Antauri calmly.

"What do you mean, Antauri?" questioned Chiro.

Instead of answering, the silver monkey went to the control board and typed in a few things.

"What are you doing?" asked Gibson.

"I'm asking the Super Robot if he knows where to find this 'Dragon Phoenix'." Antauri answered.

Soon the screen went black and green letters began appearing on screen, relaying the Super Robot's reply. It read:

In order to find the one you seek, return to the place you hold dear. There you will find heartfall and a helping hand. They will lead you to the 'door' but only you have the information to get in.

"What does that mean?" asked Otto.

"'In order to find the one you seek, return to the place you hold dear'. That might mean go back to Shuggazoom," Chiro stated, "but what does the rest mean?"

"I'm guessing 'heartfall' means we won't like what we find once we get there. Figures." huffed Sprx.

"'A helping hand means we'll find a friend, right?"

"That's correct, Otto, but it doesn't relieve any clues on who this friend is." replied Antauri.

"But why is door in quotations?" asked Gibson.

"Guess we'll figure that out later. The Super Robot's several steps ahead of us."

"What do ya mean, kid?"

Chiro pointed to the screen, which showed Shuggazoom in the distance, "We're home."

When they entered Shuggazoom's atmoshpere, they felt their hearts sink. Destruction was everywhere. Rubble was piled high. Shuggazoom was no longer recognizable.

"What happened here?" exclaimed Gibson.

"I don't know, but I know who's responsible..."

Everyone looked at their young leader, waiting for him to continue.

"Skeleton King."

SR landed in a dense forest letting the five out. All five were now clad in black cloaks, which SR had said that Nova had said she wanted them to wear, just in case. Once they were a safe distance away, SR took off.

"Where do you think he's going?" asked Otto.

"Probably to do something to help fix this." answered Sprx.

"Let's go team. We need to find this 'helping hand'." commanded Chiro.

They walked in the direction Gibson had said was east and continued in silence. No one knew what to say, it was all so confusing. Their pondering was cut short when they met with a group of 8 formless.

"Great. Can this day get any better?" Sprx asked.

Then the formless began shotting lasers at them.

"I think it just did Sprx." yelled Gibson, dodging one of the lasers.

"When could they do that?!" Otto screamed.

"Chiro, without our primary fighting abilities, we're done for!" Antauri shouted to the teenager.

"Then we'll have to make due. Hyper force, Go!" the boy commanded.

"No need for that, my friend." came a female voice from the shadows. Suddenly, a whip came out a struck two formless. Then with several flash of light, twin swords cut through the remaining formless with ease. There, kneeling in the center of a ring of black goop, was a dark-cloaked figure about the same height as Chiro with a sword in each hand.

"Who are you?" asked Antauri.

"Not here. Follow me." she said, her tone hinting more dangers if they stayed here.

The five nodded and followed the girl to a cave. She lit up a torch and lead them to the end of the cave. Setting down the torch by the center of the dead end, the girl drew her swords and swung them downwards in an 'X' shape. The wall glowed and opened, revealing a metal interior. Once inside, the wall closed, showing no form of entry.

The cloaked figure walked forward only to be stopped by another female voice.

"May, who are these newcomers?" A pink robot monkey with firey yellow eyes walked forward with a stern look on her face. She was wearing a black ninja outfit with a sword holstered on each hip.

The girl now known as May pulled down her hood revealing her sea-foam green hair and pink eyes. She also wore a black ninja outfit. May knelt in front of her team leader.

"Dranix, these five were being attacked by the enemy. They came from the direction SR landed earlier. I brought them here."

Dranix look turned angry, "Did it not occur to you that they could be the enemy."

At this point, one thought ran through the monkey team's heads, "the 'door'." All five still had their hoods up, so Dranix and May could not see their faces. Antauri walked forward to negotiate with Dranix.

"You are the leader I presume." he said in a calm tone.

"Yes I am." she replied defensively.

"You need not worry. We are not enemies."

"One can never be to sure."

"I agree. Our purpose here is that we were sent on a quest."

"And this quest is?"

"To find Dragon Phoenix."

Antauri knew he said something wrong. Dranix's eyes flashed in rage. In the blink of a eye, her swords were drawn and she had Antauri tackled to the ground, her swords crossed over his neck.

When she spoke, her voice held such venom that it scared even Antauri, "How do you know that name? Only my leader and my team knows my full name. Indentify yourself and your friends or you all die."

Gently as to not provoke the enraged monkey, Antauri reached up and pulled off his hood, signaling the others to do the same. They did. Dranix's eyes went from enraged to shocked in realization. She quickly got up as if she was burned, allowing Antauri to stand.

"You're the Hyper Force." she said in barely a whisper. Then she cleared her voice and said in a shaky voice, "May, go get our second in command."

"But..."

"That's an order." she shouted. The girl ran out to fulfill the task. Then Dranix turned her attention back to the team and spoke their names with a brief intro on them.

"Otto, green monkey, team mechanic."
"Gibson, blue monkey, chief scientist."
"Sprx, red monkey, ace pilot."
"Antauri, black turned silver monkey, second in command."
"Chiro, young leader of the Hyper Force, Chosen One."

"How do you know about us?" asked Chiro.

"After your demise by the Skeleton King, our leader created this rebellion. We fight for you and all you stood for. Our leader speaks so highly of you all."

"Who is your leader?" questioned Antauri.

"You will know soon enough. For now, you will meet our second in command." she answered.

Hurried footsteps were heard down the hall and a familiar voice rang out, "Dranix, May told me you needed to see me. She was really riled. What's happening?"

"See for yourself." Dranix said pointing at the group.

The figure turned and looked at them, taking away the Hyper Force's breath.

"Monkey Team." the figure whispered.

Chiro finally got his voice back and whispered back, "Jinmay."


Me: Wow intresting. Anyway R&R and I'll update later.
