The Skeleton King walked into an ice filled cavern. He was near his fortress on Shuggazoom. Inside there was a figure with green eyes inside an ice crystal.
“Soon, the cursed Monkey Team will be powerless… Mandarin! Thaw her out…” The Skeleton King said. Mandarin came up behind him and began to thaw out the figure.
“Yes, My Lord Skeleton King.” Mandarin said. The Skeleton looked at the figure once more.
“They will be powerless to stop her…” Skeleton King chuckled. Then he left the cavern.

Meanwhile in the Super Robot, The Hyperforce was planning their next move.
“Indeed that the Skelton King has been sending more troops lately makes me wonder…” Antauri said.
“Oh come on Antauri! He just wants to get this battle done and over with. We’ll come and bring it on!” Chiro said.
“Patience Chiro. Allow the Skelton King to strike first. Then we will be prepared with a counter attack.” Antauri said. Then the alarm went off. They went to the screen and Gibson zoomed in.
“Look! A lone figure approaches!” Gibson said. He was right. A lone figure in black armor with red eyes came towards the robot. It was fully armored and it had claws of dark red. An Incoming message came in. The figure was speaking.
“Give up now and I will make your deaths quick and painless.” The figure said in a voice that sounded familiar to the team but yet it was different.
“We’ll never give up to the Skeleton King’s Minions!” Chiro said.
“You speak of the Alchemist that way! Then you will perish!” The figure said and then a large tremor was sent through the robot.
“Hyperforce Go!” Chiro said. Everyone headed outside. The figure remained standing tall.
“Finally you show your faces! How dare you take the lives of those who I loved!” The figure said.
“Your with our enemy! We have to defend Shuggazoom!” Chiro said.
“Defend it? Defend your rule!? You killed it’s original protectors! You killed the Hyperforce and took their appearances!” The figure yelled.
“We are the Hyperforce!” Antauri yelled.
“Not even!” The figure yelled in the reply. Then it flew up.
“Monkey Fu!” It yelled. The power Primate energy shot from it’s hands and hit the team. But it did no damage.
“It can use the Power Primate! It’s strong in it!” Antauri said.
“Boom Boom Wake Up!” Nova yelled. She hit the figure’s left arm and the armor broke off, revealing an arm like the monkey team’s arms.
“She had a robot arm just like ours!” Otto said.
“Chiro Spearo!” Chiro yelled. The spear bounced off of the armor.
“Laser Criss Cross!” Gibson yelled and then the other arm’s armor fell off.
“Monkey Mind Scream!” The figure yelled. The waves were sent but nothing touch any of them.
“Why aren’t it’s attacks working?” Jinmay asked. Everyone didn’t know.
“Thunder Punch!” Chiro yelled. It hit the Figure’s right leg and the armor broke off, showing a purple monkey leg.
“I don’t get it! It’s armor is weak towards close ranged attacks but not to long ranged.” Gibson said.
“Scritch Scratch Blade Thrower!” Otto yelled and sending his saws to the figure’s other leg destroying the armor. Now four parts were showing and then it was Sprx’s turn.
“Magna-Ball Blazer!” He yelled. The magnetic force took off the torso armor and it showed a tail.
“Whoa! It’s a monkey!” Sprx said. The figure looked at itself.
“I’m getting beat up badly…but…I have to avenge his death!” The figure yelled. It came in close and attacked Jinmay. Jinmay threw it up and then shot some missiles at it. The claws fell off to reveal green claws.
“It’s my turn.” Antauri said. He got his ghost claws out and then charged.
“Claw Disrupter!” He yelled. He attacked it’s helmet and it broke to pieces to show a purple monkey with pure green eyes. There was something plugged into the back of it’s head but it was down for the count. It layed there and it was pretty beat up.
“I can’t…die…yet…I have to a…avenge…An…Antauri’s Death…”The figure said as it got up slowly, “My best friend’s death…at least…”
“Starry? Is that you?” Antauri asked shocked.
“You killed him didn’t you! There was no silver monkey before, you imposter! He was the Black monkey! My friend!” Starry yelled, tears flying out of her eyes. She charged Antauri and then Antauri dodged out of the way and hugged her.
“Starry…It’s me… It is Antauri!” Antauri said. Then Starry turned into Ghost form and went through Antauri. Antauri fell and then got back up and walked towards Starry.
“I’m not going to fight you Starry…” Antauri said.
“Your not Antauri!” Starry yelled. Then Gibson drove his drill into the device on the back of her head. She screamed and then drifted towards the ground where Antauri caught her.
“Let’s get her back.” Antauri said. He flew back into the robot with the others.
Soon afterwards Gibson was finished running some tests.
“It seems like the Skeleton King was brain washing Starry into thinking we were imposters who killed the Hyperforce. She should be fine.” Gibson said.
“Who is this Starry anyway?” Chiro asked. Everyone looked at Antauri.
“Starry is the daughter of the Alchemist. She grew up as human but, after her practice with Mandarin one day, she became very injured. She couldn’t stay a human like that with those injuries or she would die. So her father built her a Robot Monkey body for her spirit and Power Primate energy. She then practiced with us like we would with each other and she grew to want to join the team. When the Alchemist turned into the Skeleton King Changed she stayed behind and fought him. The last we saw of her was when she disappeared after she yelled a odd saying…I don’t remember much after that…” Antauri explained.
“So she is one of the team?” Chiro asked.
“She would have been…” Gibson said. Antauri left into the lab and then saw Starry moving.
“She’s waking up.” Antauri said and everyone got inside. Starry opened her eyes slightly and then all the way.
“Am I dead?” She asked.
“Your not dead Starry.” Nova said.
“Far from it…” Antauri said. Starry looked at Antauri.
“How… Are you alive? The Power Primate alerted me to you death… It told me there had been a disruption in the Power Primate…” Starry said.
“I was reborn…Thanks to the Chosen One.” Antauri said. Starry looked at Chiro.
“I owe you so much, Chiro.” She said.
“How do you know my name?” Chiro asked. Starry smiled weakly.
“The Power Primate tells me so much about you, Chiro…You are  indeed The Chosen One…” Starry said. Chiro blinked a few times.
“Well…Ok.” Chiro said. Starry groaned as she tried to get up.
“You need rest Starry!” Nova said.
“Nova, my dear friend, I’ve been in an Ice Crystal for a long time…I don’t need anymore rest…” Starry said. She continued to get up until she sat up straight.
“So…He really did change…didn’t he?” Starry asked. Antauri nodded and Starry hugged him. She started crying and Antauri just held her.
“It’s ok Starry…Have faith…” Antauri said. Nova and Sprx got everyone out of the room so they could have some time alone.
“So, Her dad is the Skeleton King?” Chiro asked.
“Her dad was the Alchemist… She is hurting because of it… She never could get her full strength to fight him…” Nova said.
“She was a good Kid… Let’s hope she can forget her past…” Sprx said. Starry and Antauri came out, hand-in-hand. Nova ran over to Starry and Hugged her.
“It’s so good to see you again!” Nova said. Sprx came up behind her.
“Good to see you Starry, we missed you.” Sprx said. Starry gave him a big hug.
“Sprx, your such a dork…” She said, “You know I like giving hugs to good friends.” Otto came up and smiled.
“It’s great to see you!” Otto said. Starry gave him a bear hug.
“Worked on anything new lately?” Starry asked.
“Just a few simple gadgets…Mainly some new weapons and tracking stuff.” Otto said.
“I’ll have to see them later.” Starry replied with a smile. Then Gibson came up and tried to give Starry handshake.
“I can not believe that you made it this long in a crystallized state, but you did.” Gibson said. Then Starry took his hand then pulled him into a hug.
“Gibson…I missed your science lectures!” Starry said.
“Well…” Gibson said as he separated from the hug, blushing, “I’ll have to give you one later.”
“Great!” Starry said, “I can’t wait!” Then of course Jinmay came up.
“I’m Chiro’s Girlfriend, Jinmay.” Jinmay said. Starry bowed slightly.
“Nice to meet you.” Starry said. Then Antauri held Starry’s hand again. Chiro leaned over to Gibson.
“Are they…?” Chiro whispered. Gibson looked up at Chiro.
“They were very close before.” Gibson replied. Chiro realized that the reason she had gotten so emotional about Antauri, was because of her relationship with him.
“I’ll see you all later. I haven’t seen Shuggazoom for so long. Although it may not be the way I remember it…” Starry said. She left them all and then went outside. Antauri watched her leave. Then he went after her. He found her near the Super Robot’s neck. She was fixing something.
“What are you doing?” Antauri asked. Starry wiped her eyes and then continued working.
“I broke the robot. I have to fix it.” She said. She sniffled a little then began to fix up some wires. Antauri came up next to her.
“Your still upset, aren’t you?” Antauri asked. Starry finished up quickly then closed the maintenance door. She hugged Antauri tightly.
“My dad…The one who raised me… Made me try to hurt you…” Starry cried, “I can’t lose you Antauri…Not again…”
“I know… How did you feel the disturbance? The Power Primate was nearly gone…” Antauri said. Starry tightened her hug.
“I…I am deep into the Power Primate. The slightest murmur, the slightest change in the energy and I can feel it. Your death felt like a stab… It completely ruined me… So when I was thawed out… I easily fell…” Starry said. Antauri grabbed her hand and then went to the edge of the shoulder of the robot. Antauri pointed towards the sunset.
“That means their’s hope… That means that we can always have hope for another day.” Antauri said. Starry looked at Antauri.
“Thanks Antauri…I’m glad were together again…” Starry said. Antauri grabbed her hand.
“I’ve missed you for too long…” Antauri said. Starry pushed herself into Antauri’s arms.
“I’m so sorry…I left you guys…” Starry said. Antauri wrapped his arms around her.
“You had no real choice… I don’t blame you…” Antauri said. Starry looked back at Antauri.
“Thank you.” Starry said then she took his hand, “Let’s go inside. I haven’t seen you guys in forever and I have so much to catch up on.” So she dragged him back inside and then she let him go mediate while she went over to Otto.
“What are you working on now, Otto?” She asked. Otto showed her a new gadget for a instant explosive effect.
“You have a problem, Otto… This goes here and that goes there.” Starry said. She switched them around and then gave it back.
“Oh! Ok! Well I made ya something.” Otto said. He handed her a small box. She opened it to find it was a music box. The tune was relaxing.
“Thanks Otto! It’s great! Well I have to go talk to Gibson but I’ll be back to help you if you need it.” Starry said. She went into Gibson’s Lab and saw him working on something.
“What are you working on?” Starry asked.
“Running some tests on a chemical substance.” Gibson said.
“You too busy to share?” Starry asked. Gibson gave her a pair of goggles.
“As you can see, the chemical reaction between both of these substances…” Gibson began as Starry paid close attention. Antauri watched them, just like they used to do, and smiled.
“You haven’t changed a bit, Starry…” Antauri whispered to himself. He walked back into the meditating room and continued to meditate. A little while later Starry came out of the lab. She was instantly met with Sprx.
“Hey! Come with me for a minute kid!” Sprx said. Starry followed him, dumbfounded. When they reached a door Sprx blind-folded Starry.
“What’s this about Sprx?” Starry asked with a laugh.
“You’ll see.” Sprx said. Then she felt herself being pulled into the room then she could see again to see a ship like the brain scrambler.
“Guys!? Did you…” Starry asked. Otto went over to her.
“We wanted to make you something special! So we made you this!” Otto said with his usual smile. Nova and Sprx stood side by side and then Starry tackled hugged them.
“You guys are the best!” She said happily. She went over to the ship and then went inside. It was the best and she smiled.
“It’s great!” Starry said on her way out. She hugged them again then left. Antauri met her and he took her hand.
“Come with me.” Antauri said. He lead her away and Starry blushed at his touch. She loved his grip, the strength in it but still the gentleness… Antauri lead her to a room and then opened it. The room was newly done and had a bed, a workbench, a dresser, and a normal table. Then on the dresser were frames filled with pictures of the team together. Antauri pulled her inside then waited while she looked around the room.
“Antauri…It’s perfect…” Starry whispered in awe. Antauri walked over to her and wrapped his tail around hers. Starry’s face went so red she could have passed off as Sprx.
“Antauri…” Starry whispered. His tail unwrapped itself and he moved away.
“I’m sorry…” He said. Then Starry turned around and hugged him tight.
“I’m the one who should be sorry… I haven’t felt your tail around mine for so long…” Starry said, “I love it when you do that… It makes me feel safe…” Antauri wrapped his tail around her.
“Starry…” He said. Starry snuggled in closer to Antauri.
“I missed you so much…” Starry whispered. Antauri closed his eyes.
“I did too Starry…” He said back. She looked up and then she leaned in close. Finally she closed the kiss. Antauri was a bit shocked at first but then he relaxed. Her kiss softened his heart a little. He was happy…just like her.
My kiss…The one I’ve waited so long to give to him… Has finally been given… Starry thought. Then Starry broke off.
“Starry…” Antauri said. Then he made the connection. Starry and Antauri stood there, their tails and arms wrapped around each other, and they enjoyed their first kiss… When they finally broke off, Antauri’s tail had found it’s way all around both himself and Starry, brining them so close. Starry looked into his eyes.
“You still care for me…” Starry said. Antauri smiled.
“As much as I care for my friends… and more…” Antauri replied. Starry smiled softly and she continued to remain close to him. Then the alarm went off. A tremor went through the robot. They were instantly back to back.
“What’s going on?” Starry asked. Antauri took her hand and they rushed into the main room.
“Gibson! What’s going on?” Antauri asked.
“A huge Formless army got through. They are trying to get the robot down.” Gibson said.
“Alright everyone! Hyperforce Go!” Chiro yelled. They all got outside to see a huge formless army.
“Alright everyone! Let’s show them what were made of!” Chiro said. Everyone nodded and went out to fight the formless. Starry and Antauri stuck together.
“Twin Monkey Spin Attack!” They yelled. Antauri sent Starry flying into a large group of formless and it killed them.
“Double Monkey Mind Scream!” They both yelled. The waves hit many formless. They both landed and they had a second.
“Just like the old days…” Antauri said.
“Just like them…” Starry replied. Then they began just to slice the formless. Soon only one large one was left. Everyone got into position. The monster Formless swung it’s arm and hit Starry, sending her flying.
“Starry!” Antauri yelled. He flew after her and then found her in Mandarin’s hands. She had the most scared and Angry face that she ever had.
“You killed Antauri! I’m gonna kill you!” Starry yelled. Then Mandarin held his weapon up to Starry’s throat.
“My Brother… Give up and she will go free.” Mandarin said. Antauri let his claws disappear.
“Let her go!” He yelled. Mandarin laughed.
“Let her Go? Why… she’s the only reason I came…” Mandarin said.
“What do you want with me?!” Starry demanded. Mandarin turned her head around so she was looking straight at him.
“I needed an excuse to get you back…” Mandarin said. Starry’s eyes went wide.
“What…are you…talking about?” Starry asked.
“Every day… You would spend the most time with Antauri… With that weakling! When I finally came around to trying to tell you, Antauri took you away! When you became a Monkey… I knew that it was us that was meant to be… The two greatest and most powerful monkeys! Who should rule Shuggazoom!” Mandarin said.
“Mandarin! She wants to protect Shuggazoom! She would never go against it like you did!” Antauri said.
“Mandarin! I never cared for you except like a little brother! Let me go!” Starry demanded. Then Mandarin pulled her closer, crushing her. Starry let out a little gasp.
“You’re the only one powerful enough for me… Come on…” Mandarin said. Starry tried to breathe.
“Never… Mandarin… Never…” Starry said. Then Mandarin leaned in and got close to kissing Starry before Antauri charged at him. Mandarin was caught off guard when Antauri hit him. Starry fell out of his hands and Antauri got in between them.
“Formless! Attack!” Mandarin yelled. Starry was gasping for air when the formless goop began to encase her.
“An…Antauri!” Starry screamed, her voice becoming muffled. Her hand reached out and Antauri grabbed it. Soon she was completely covered.
“Let her go!” Antauri yelled. He sliced at the goop but it merely went and caught his arm. He tried to escape but the goop began to swallow him too. The huge formless was gone and the rest of the Hyperforce came to help.
“Antauri! Starry!” Chiro yelled. Antauri was almost all the way covered when Chiro tackled Mandarin.
“You should be more concerned with your friends…” Mandarin said. Then Antauri was covered and more formless arrived. Inside the goop, Antauri pulled Starry close.
“We…ha…have to…keep close…” Starry said. Antauri tightened his hold. Then they both blacked out. The rest of the team began to fight the formless. But two large formless gathered the goop inside of them and retreated. They all noticed and then Mandarin and the rest of the formless disappeared.
“Why did they get captured? Why not me?” Chiro yelled in anger. Nova put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
“We’ll get them back.” Nova said. Meanwhile in the Skeleton King’s fortress, Antauri and Starry were in a cell. Antauri woke up first. He looked at Starry, who was still in his arms. She rested with her eyes fully closed and she was breathing normally.
I hope your ok… Antauri thought. He saw her move a little then open her eyes gently.
“Antauri? Are you…ok?” Starry asked. Antauri brought her close.
“I hope you are…” Antauri answered.
“Mandarin scared me…But I was scared the most for you…” Starry whispered. Antauri wrapped his tail around her.
“I don’t want you to be scared… They try to take you… and I’ll seal their destiny…” Antauri said.
“I’m still really scared Antauri…” Starry said. Tears began to gather at her eyes. Antauri wiped them away.
“I’m here…” Antauri said. Starry snuggled in close and then Mandarin appeared at the cell door. Antauri and Starry got up, still close together, and they backed to the wall.
“Time for Starry to come with me…” Mandarin said. Starry scooted closer to Antauri, trembling.
“Your not getting her!” Antauri yelled. Mandarin laughed.
“Who’s going to keep me from her?” Mandarin asked, “Not you I hope…” Formless got into the cell and tried to separate Starry and Antauri.
“Antauri!” Starry cried, her tears flowing from her eyes like waterfalls.
“Starry… stay strong…” Antauri said. The Formless continued to try to separate them.
“Antauri… I can’t hold on much longer…” Starry cried. Then Mandarin came and pulled Starry away from Antauri.
“Starry!” Antauri yelled. He was held back by The formless. Mandarin held Starry close.
“Abandon that weakling… We could rule Shuggazoom together…” Mandarin said. Starry continued to cry and reached for Antauri.
“Antauri!” Starry cried softly. Then Mandarin pulled her face towards his but Starry turned her head a second before he could. He kissed her cheek.
“Starry… Come now… Behave!” Mandarin yelled. He put full force on the next kiss, the lip locking. Starry let out a muffled scream. She couldn’t pull away. Antauri watched and then turned away. Starry saw, out of the corner of her eye, Antauri nearly crying. She used her strength to pull away and threw herself on Antauri. She cried as she moved as close as she could to Antauri. Mandarin pulled her away again and had some formless hold her. Mandarin prepared his weapon.
“She won’t give up on you as long as your alive… So die you will…” Mandarin said with an evil tone. Starry’s eyes went wide and she broke free of the Formless’s hold. Right as Mandarin was making the killing sweep, Starry flung herself in front of Antauri. Starry gasped as the weapon went through her torso. Antauri looked at her, horror-struck.
“An…An…Antauri…” Starry gasped.
“Starry!” Antauri yelled. Mandarin drew his weapon and then stepped back. Antauri hugged Starry, holding her close.
“Starry…Why did you…?” Antauri asked. Starry snuggled in close.
“I can’t lose you again…” Starry said. Antauri held her. Then a light surrounded Antauri and Starry. The next moment they were in a star filled valley.
“Antauri…I can’t bear to lose you again…” Starry said. Antauri picked her up and held her like someone would their lover.
“Starry… Will you be ok?” Antauri asked. Starry lifted her hand and then the valley separated to show the shoulder of the robot. Antauri walked towards it and they ended up on it.
“Get me…to Gibson…” Starry said weakly. Antauri got inside and then got into the main room. Starry was beginning to grow limp.
“Antauri! Starry! What happened!?” Nova exclaimed.
“Mandarin…” Antauri said. Starry leaned her head into Antauri.
“Where’s Gibson?” Antauri asked. Gibson came and then lead them into the lab. He got Otto in there and then everyone left the lab. Everyone was worried.
A Few hours later, Gibson came out, taking off his goggles.
“Is she ok?” Antauri asked.
“She’s stabilized and Otto is fixing up her armor… She is very Lucky Antauri…” Gibson said, “She had nearly all of her batteries damaged and almost ruined. But she should be recovering.” Then Otto came out.
“Her armor is fixed but she still won’t activate. Nothing seems to be working, I’ve tried everything…” Otto said, “She’s breathing, just not waking up…”
“Can I have a minute with her?” Antauri asked. Gibson nodded and Antauri went into the lab to see Starry. She was a little different. She was looking like the silver monkey except with dark purple fur and green eyes. She wore a breathing mask and was breathing slowly and calmly. Antauri went over and gripped her hand.
“Starry?” Antauri said, “Can you hear me?” Starry’s breath continued to remain the same and steady rate.
“If you can then I want you to wake up…please?” Antauri asked. He removed her mask, leaned in, and kissed her gently.
“Please…” Antauri whispered when he broke. Then he saw Starry’s eyes open.
“You’re the key…” Starry whispered. Antauri gripped her hand tighter.
“Your ok… Thank goodness…” Antauri said. Starry sat up and kissed Antauri.
“You’re the right one.” Starry said. Antauri hugged her and Starry silently cried.
“I can’t lose you again Antauri…” Starry said. Antauri sighed.
“I can’t bear to lose you again either…” Antauri answered. Starry smiled and let out a happy sigh.
“Do you know the reason why I fell in love with you?” Starry asked happily. Antauri blinked and looked at her.
“No, I don’t…” Antauri replied. Starry laughed a little.
“When we first met… you climbed up my arm and rubbed your head on my cheek… Do you remember?” Starry said. Antauri did remember.
“Yeah, Your cheek was warm and soft…” Antauri said.
“Well… When you became able to talk I could feel your strength in the power primate… every slight touch… made my heart accelerate… I didn’t know at first what it was… but I know now… I fell in love with you…” Starry said.
“Why exactly did you?” Antauri asked.
“You had a different power than the rest. Sure, Gibson can teach us science, Otto can build whatever we need, Sprx makes us laugh, and Nova gives us strength, but you… whenever you speak like everything is going to be alright…everything is gonna work out… I felt so happy… Knowing that you knew… everything would turn out alright…” Starry said.
“Like when?” Antauri asked. Starry looked at Antauri with her deep green eyes.
“When I got hurt by Mandarin when I was human… All the way through my operation of suffering you always said… Your gonna be just fine… I hung onto those words… and through my recovery and getting used to being a monkey… You always told me that I would get used to it…never to back down… never to give up…To keep holding on…” Starry answered. Antauri tightened his hug.
“I loved you… I loved you all along…” Antauri said. Starry smiled.
“I missed you… We were far away…for far too long…” Starry said. Antauri got her up and then gripped her hand.
“Come now. We can join our friends…” Antauri said. Starry nodded and smiled. They walked out and Everyone came over.
“How are you feeling, Starry?” Nova asked.
“Like I just got stabbed, but I’ll live.” Starry said.
“Nice new look Starry!” Sprx said.
“Thanks!” Starry replied.
“Welcome officially to the team, Starry.” Chiro said. Starry smiled.
“Thanks Chiro. That means so much.” Starry said. Then everyone just visited. Antauri and Starry sat together silently, hands laced together, while everyone chattered with each other. Starry would look at Antauri lovingly every few minutes.
Your still Antauri… Just the way you were… Starry thought to herself. She got up and went outside. She sat on the edge of the Robot’s Shoulder and let the breeze cool her. She thought of how she was when she was human. Her purple hair would flow gently in the wind and she always watched the sunset. She looked at the setting sun. She felt human again.
“You really did what you did Starry… You made it home…” Starry said to herself. Then she saw something out of the corner of her eye. It looked like a human. She turned to see the figure go down the alley. She flew down to the ground and then ran where the figure went.  It was a closed off street. It was very quiet.
“Hello?” Starry asked as she walked on, “Anyone there?” Then she heard something that made her tremble.
“I love it when your scared…” A voice said. Starry turned around and was in the grip of Mandarin.
“Ma…Man…Darin…” Starry stuttered in a bit of fear.
“Your so much prettier when your scared… It gives you an edge.” Mandarin said. Starry trembled more.
“Get away from me!” Starry said. Mandarin squeezed her.
“Your pain is my pleasure…Starry…” Mandarin said. He leaned in and got close to kissing Starry when they heard a yell.
“Get away from her!” the voice yelled. Mandarin looked to see the Hyperforce standing there. Mandarin looked back at Starry.
“I’ll kill them if you won’t…” Mandarin said, “Can you bear losing them all?” Starry’s eyes filled with tears.
“They can kill you…” Starry said. Then Mandarin closed it. Starry tried to push away but she was held deep in Mandarin’s grip. She struggled so much.
“Mandarin! I told you to get your hands off of her!” Antauri yelled. He jumped and his claws were sharp and ready. Mandarin flung Starry in front of him. Antauri stopped and then looked at Starry.
“Let her go!” Antauri yelled, “Give up, your outnumbered!” The Hyperforce surrounded Mandarin.
“Shall I end her life?” Mandarin asked. He put his weapon up to Starry’s throat. Antauri stopped.
“Mandarin, let her go!” Antauri yelled.
“You wouldn’t want me to hurt her again, would you? I’ve already done it twice…” Mandarin said. Then Starry couldn’t take it anymore. She extended her claws and changed into a ghost version and slipped through Mandarin’s grip and all the way to Antauri. She saw Mandarin’s face go all retard. Starry let Antauri’s claws gather around her.
“Your never having me!” Starry said. Mandarin growled.
“Formless Appear!” Mandarin yelled. Large formless came for each member. Starry took on one in a flash, using her claws to slice it.
“Claw Disrupter!” Antauri said. He sliced through the formless. Everyone else had defeated there formless but that was just a distraction. Mandarin had escaped… again… Starry hugged Antauri tightly.
“Are you ok?” Antauri asked. Starry nodded her head and then they all headed back to the robot. When they got there, Starry told her story about what she thought she saw.
“You need to be more careful. We don’t know why exactly, but I think that the Skeleton King wishes for your appearance back in his fortress. Maybe he wishes for something you have…” Antauri said.
“Antauri…Everyone… he does want something of mine…” Starry said, “That was the reason why I was in a crystallized state… I was defending myself.”
“What does he want from you?” Chiro asked. Starry touched her heart quietly.
“My Power Primate…” Starry whispered.
“He could get any one of us and get the energy… why you?” Gibson said.
“Because… He needs the almost source of the Power Primate to control it… I have nearly the first bits of the pure power primate within me. That’s all he wants from me… Being his daughter has nothing to do with it…” Starry explained.
“Wait! You are one of the Power Primate masters?” Chiro asked.
“Chiro, I am what I have been for generations. I felt your awakening, Zan’s betrayal, the corruption of the power primate, The death and the resurrection of Antauri, and your power growing. Chiro, I am very deep in the power primate…” Starry said.
“So you could help train me? To finally be able to defeat the Skeleton King for good!” Chiro said. Starry laughed a little.
“Chiro… You have so much that you have learned. I have so little to teach you… The only way that I can teach you… is if I can keep in depth with the power primate. With your advances, by what Antauri tells me, you shall be a very great Power Primate Master.” Starry said.
“Really?” Chiro asked.
“I do believe…” Starry said, “You will be the greatest…” Chiro smiled.
“I think you’ll be a great teacher!” Chiro said. Starry smiled.
“Now If you’ll excuse me… I need to sleep…” Starry said. She let for her room and soon she was meditating. She allowed the Power Primate to flow fully from her. She was soon surrounded by a large sphere of power Primate energy. She allowed it to tell her all that was going on. Nothing was truly brewing so Starry quit. She did normal meditation until she heard a knock at her door.
“Come in.” Starry said. Nova walked in and Starry sat on the bed.
“What’s up?” Starry asked. Nova sat down.
“Can I ask you something?” Nova asked. Starry looked at her with eyes that meant, ‘I’m here for you my friend!’.
“Sure. What is it?” Starry asked.
“What do you think…about Sprx and I?” Nova asked. Starry looked at her happily.
“You two are cute together…” Starry said.
“I figured out what Antauri was missing while you were gone…” Nova said. Starry froze up.
“And what is that?” Starry asked.
“You. He missed you and I think we all did… I still don’t get it Starry… You act so oblivious to it…” Nova said. Starry closed her eyes.
“I love him, Nova…” Starry said. Nova smiled.
“I know… but… I want to know something…” Nova said.
“Yeah?” Starry asked.
“Are you gonna stick around for us?” Nova asked then left. Starry flopped on her back on the bed and slipped into sleep. She showed up near the Alchemist.
“Dad?” Starry asked.
“Follow me…” He said. So Starry followed him and found herself back at his lab, looking at her human self in her room. She was dressed for school and Nova came in.
“Morning Starry!” Nova said.
“Morning Nova! I have to go to school!” Starry said. She got up and grabbed her bag. She went into the main room to see her dad and all the other monkeys in there.
“I’m off!” Starry said.
“Have a good day. Come back as soon as you can… They need more training.” Her dad said.
“OK! Goodbye you guys!” Starry said and she left. A bright light showed then it was Starry heading outside to go home. A boy with slick black hair and dark brown eyes came in front of her. It was Avon.
“You going to the dance?” the Boy asked. Starry walked by, her purple hair in a ponytail.
“Not with you at least. Maybe with a friend of mine.” Starry said. Avon buzzed in front of her again.
“Is this ‘friend’ popular? Like me? You go with me and you’ll be popular.” Avon said. Starry walked by him again.
“He doesn’t need to be and you can keep your stinking popularity! It’s not worth it.” Starry said then she booked it out of the school. Another bright light and it was the night of the dance. Starry was in a silver dress with purple gloves and boots.
“Can Antauri come with me? Please?” Starry begged.
“Fine! Just be back before too late… I want you to get an early start since your graduating this week.” The Alchemist said. Starry hugged him.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Come on Antauri! We’ll be late!” Starry said. She gripped Antauri’s hand and then ran outside. The next flashback was at the dance where some girls were talking to Starry.
“Is that your date?” The girls asked. Starry nodded and Antauri floated next to her happily.
“He’s so cute! What’s his name?” another girl said.
“His name is Antauri.” Starry replied. Then Avon came up.
“Where’s your date?” He asked. Starry held onto Antauri’s hand.
“That’s your date? You dumped me off so you could come with a monkey?!” Avon exclaimed. Antauri showed his claws.
“I wouldn’t mess if I were you! He could easily beat you.” Starry said. Then another light showed up and she could see the scene of Antauri’s Death. When Antauri got stabbed in the back by Mandarin, Starry fell to the floor.
“Antauri…No… Don’t leave me!” Starry yelled. She felt the stab of his death again.
“Antauri!” Starry screamed as she sat up. She took long full breaths. Antauri came into her room and then hugged her.
“Starry, what’s wrong?” Antauri asked with worry. Starry began to cry.
“I felt the stab of your death again… He’s trying to weaken me…” Starry cried.
“It’s alright… You’ll be ok…” Antauri comforted. Starry snuggled close to him and then after a while Antauri left. Starry fell back asleep and woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. She left her room and walked into the main room. Everyone said good morning.
“Hey…” Starry said sleepily.
“You get enough sleep?” Antauri asked. Starry nodded then sat next to him. She smiled as she intertwined her hand in Antauri’s. Antauri smiled and switched hands to be able to pull Starry closer. Everyone looked at her with a smile.
“What?” She asked.
“Nothing.” Everyone replied. Starry looked at them confused. Then Antauri pulled her out of the seat and lead her to his room. He sat her down and then they were silent. Starry felt a little awkward in the silence. She looked at the floor then at Antauri.
“Starry… I want to know something…” Antauri said. Starry gripped his hand.
“What?” Starry asked. Antauri slipped his tail around Starry, bringing her closer.
“What’s going to happen in the future… with us?” Antauri asked.
“Antauri… Hopefully… I really hope we become something more than just good friends…” Starry said. She smiled at him and then Nova burst into the room.
“Gibson mixed two chemicals together and turned himself into a chicken! Come quick!” Nova said. Starry and Antauri got up and walked with Nova till they reached the lab and the lights snapped on. A huge cake and a pile of stuff was in the room with the entire team. Antauri and Nova got in front of Starry and smiled wide.
“Happy Birthday, Starry!” Everyone exclaimed. Starry’s eyes glowed with gladness.
“You guys! Thank you!” Starry said. She hugged them all in a huge group hug. Chiro and Jinmay came up to Starry and handed her a video game.
“One game that we thought you might like.” Jinmay said.
“Thanks! I’ll beat Sprx’s butt in it later!” Starry said with a smile. Otto came up and handed her a small pouch of tiny tools.
“To help ya fix your ship! Gotta keep it up!” Otto said.
“I’ll do that Otto.” Starry replied. Gibson came up to her and handed her a large notebook.
“All my research for a long time. Equations I haven’t figured out and other such scientific things.” Gibson said.
“Thanks Gibson!” Starry said while tightly holding the book. Sprx and Nova gave up a box to Starry. She opened it to find a couple of training disks and other training supplies.
“Thought you might like them!” Nova said.
“Yeah, just knew you would like the flight simulator games.” Sprx added. Starry smiled.
“Thanks! Means a lot to me!” Starry exclaimed. Antauri was last and he handed her a small box. She was about to open it when the alarm went off. She instantly put it all down and then they all went out to the battle field and saw the enormous formless army.
“This time… I won’t fall…” Starry whispered. Antauri grabbed her claw with his.
“Your going to be fine… I’ll be right here by your side.” Antauri said.
“We all will.” Chiro said. Starry looked at everyone and then to the army. She stared straight into the heart of the battle field.
All I want… Is to become something more to Antauri… Something greater… I’ll kill every formless on this field for that reason! Starry thought. Then they all attacked. Starry took a whole group of formless. She sliced and used her ghost abilities to slice and dice the formless. Then Starry realized that there was more formless after Antauri. He was being overcome. Starry made it over just in time to see Antauri be knocked over. She sliced away the formless and lifted up his head.
“Are you ok, Antauri?” She asked.
“I’m fine.” Antauri said. Starry then felt something being plugged into her. She felt so much aggression towards everything that she began to slightly change. Her teeth grew into fangs, red began to replace her green eyes, and her claws turned blood red. She looked at Antauri with a hateful fire in her eyes.
“Starry?” Antauri asked. Starry began to wrestle with Antauri.
Why can’t I control myself? Who did whatever to me?! Starry thought. She was able to take a glance at Mandarin with a potion.
“Starry! Stop!” Antauri begged. Mandarin laughed.
“IT was so many years ago that Avon put a chemical within her spirit that carried on through the years… Now I put into her, the trigger! Meet the Starry that was meant to be shown… Dark Starry!” Mandarin said.
No! Don’t make me fight Antauri! Starry screamed in her head. Then Starry’s claw sliced at Antauri’s torso. It sliced straight across.
“Ah! Starry! Fight the evil!” Antauri yelled. Starry only roared in return. She wasn’t herself…
“Kill him, Dark Starry… Kill Him!” Mandarin ordered. Starry’s body moved against her own will. She sliced at him again and another large slice was on his torso. Then Starry saw Mandarin get tackled by Chiro. Gibson came over and put his program into Starry. She de-activated and fell on top of Antauri.

When Starry woke up she was in a healing tank with a breath mask on. She looked around to see Antauri in the next tank. He was badly hurt. Starry banged the glass of the tank.
“Antauri… I’m so sorry…” Starry whispered. Her voice was like nothing in the mask. Then she got out. She knelt on the floor and started crying.
“Antauri… You never took a swing at me…” Starry cried. She put her breath mask back on and layed down for a while. Her eyes filled with the tears of hate for herself.
I nearly killed the one I love… Antauri… I have to leave… For your safety… Starry thought. She got out of the lab and into her own room. She made a message.
“Monkey Team… I’m sorry but I have to leave… I hurt Antauri and it’s the one thing that I never ever wanted to do! Take care Monkey Team… I’m so sorry it had to come to this… I love you all.” Starry said in the message. She put it in a disk and then layed it on her bed. She packed up all the presents, including the box that she never opened into a bag and then snuck to her ship. She took off and flew away.
