We, Chiro and Ellie.

Eleanor's POV.

"Geo-magnetic disruptions blanket the planet's atmosphere. I'm not getting an transmittions at all. I fear for Shuggarzoom City." Gibson announced, as I piloted the Super Robot back to Shuggarzoom, my hologram projector activated.

A lot of bad things have happened. The Veron Mystics have turned bad. They've corrupted the Power Primate. Skeleton King was in charge of the whole scheme, and I sacrificed the White Monkey to save everyone.

I can still hear the Power Primate's voice in my head, though. But it's very weak from the corruption. Sometimes it says things that Skeleton King would say, and quickly apologises.

"Something's wrong." Nova spoke up.

Otto nodded, "Yeah. It's like something's missing."

"The Power Primate. I can't feel it anymore." Chiro gasped in a sad tone, "It's gone, isn't it, Antauri?"

I shook my head, "No. I can still hear the Power Primate's voice in my head. It's very weak though."

Antauri nodded, "Ellie is right. Skeleton King has corrupted it beyond our ability to weild it. He will attempt to use use it to end creation itself." Then explained, "He has allied himself with an ancient evil. Eons ago, when the galaxy was young and worlds were just coming to be, a vile cosmic force desired to destroy all reality, it implanted offspring, The Dark Ones, within the core of countless planets, knowing that one day, far into the future, they would be free to spread their evil like a plague across the universe. The Veron Mystics were to make certain that never happened."

I folded my arms in thought. That vision with the demons. Are they a few of the Dark Ones? Why did my father choose the ally himself with them? A good, noble man of magic and science turned suddenly evil and a destructive force. Unless it wasn't on his own accord...

"Heh. But they blew it." Sparx spoke up, snapping me out of my thoughts, "And now Skeleton King is gonna let one of those things loose?"

Antauri and I stared at him. Obvious answer to an obvious question, Sparx. Yes, he is!

Sparx folded his arms, "This is gonna be a great day!"

The alarm went off. The screen showed the Citadel of Bone inside the Pit of Doom.

"Skeleton King has arrived." I grimaced.

"It has begun." Antauri finished.

A large army of Formless of all shapes and sizes exit the Citadel and made their way across the bridge to Shuggarzoom City. They attacked everything and everyone in sight.

Angry, I took my elevator to the Body-Synch Simulator and piloted the Super Robot back to Shuggarzoom and land on top of one of the giant Formless attacking the citizens.

Chiro turned to the Monkeys, "Team, we protect the city first, then we find Skeleton King. And finish this once and for all."

With that, everyone took their stations and prepared to fight off the Formless. The Formless fought back by attacking us from behind. Chiro fired the Torso Cannons at the flying Formless and the slug-like ones attacked from behind.

"Sparx! Gibson! Take them out!" Chiro told the two fist pilots.

"Fist Rockets! Go!" Sparx and Gibson called, as the Robot turned and fired the Fist Rockets at the Formless.

"The Formless are massing at Sector 6!" Antauri alerted.

I looked over the alert and saw the Formless combining into three Formless monsters in Shuggarzoom Park, just above the Hidden Fortress. The Super Robot flew toward the park and fought the three giants. However, they regrew and healed their injuries.

Chiro activated the turbo booster rockets, so we could fight them in the air, but one of the Formless Giants punched the rockets offline. The Super Robot fell to its knees, and another Formless Giant clawed the Robot's face, removing the face and exposing the skeleton.

Antauri and I screamed as sparks flew and I felt the Super Robot's pain.

"Antauri! Ellie!" Chiro cried, then his temper triggered, "That's it! Lasertron Fury!"

He fired the Lasertron Fury and attacked the three Formless Giants until there was nothing left of them. The Super Robot powered down and fell to its knees. Everyone left their stations to check on the status on the Robot.

"What's our status, Team?" Chiro asked, as he arrived.

"The Lasertron drained the system." Gibson reported, "We're down to emergency power only."

The ground shook all around us, knocking us off-balance.

"What was that?" Sparx asked.

The Central Computer showed the Citadel of Bone and the Pit of Doom. A chart showed of the Citadel hitting the core of Shuggarzoom.

"No..." I grimaced, "Skeleton King's Citadel has broken into the planet's core. The Dark Egg has been breached!"

I felt a surge of cold jolt through me. My head ached and my bones burned. Behind my closed eyes, I could see a monster moving in the darkness. Pulsing with a heartbeat. A red eye opened and looked at me. I opened my eyes and gasped.

The Citadel fired three mines toward the Super Robot.

Antauri saw the mines approaching and pressed a button, "Antennea Ray activated!"

The Super Robot fired its Antennea Ray and only destroyed two. The remaining one hit the Super Robot and knocked it onto its back, throwing us with it.

I regained consciousness and rubbed my head in pain. A group of bulk Formless entered the room. Being quiet and quick, I entered the Techno-Ball and set the neutron generator to critical overload.

I'm sorry about this, Super Robot. But I'm low on options.

I turned to the Formless, who just picked up Antauri and Chiro.

"Hey!" I called, "It's me your master wants. Come get me!"

The group of Formless appraoched me, dropping Antauri and Chiro. I backed into the Techno-Ball, ready to close the door. Once they were all inside, I pressed to door button, jumped into the ventilation tunnel and created a shield around myself.

The generator exploded, taking out the Tencho-Ball, the Formless and ripped a hole in the Super Robot's torso. Ow... I felt that...

Everything calmed down, and the Formless gone, I put the Monkeys and Chiro into their rightful elevators. I gave each of them a kiss on the forehead. It breaks my heart to see my family in this state, but it looks like I have to face my father alone.

The ground shook again and the cold jolt surged through me. The clouds in the sky were morphed into a colorful, but altered sky. The wind picked up, knocking down skyscrapers. The Dark Egg is gonna hatch soon. Anger burned in my heart. I have to stop this from happening!

I grabbed my rocket pack and turned to the Monkeys and Chiro, "Goodbye, Monkey Team. I love you all."

With that, I flew off to the final confrontation with my father, Mandarin, and the Dark Egg.

As I arrived, the Egg was opened and their was a pool of energy. I could feel the corrupted Power Primate's presense. Skeleton King and Mandarin were watching over the transaction.

"The Dark One feeds, my lord." Mandarin smirked.

"Yes... Soon the corrupted Power Primate will give my master the strength to break free." Skeleton King started. Mandarin started sniffing the air. "By now, those putrid primates lay shattered under the fury of my monster army." Skeleton King grinned, "The boy ravaged. His cold flesh laid to waste. And the girl fallen with her 'everlasting light' extinguished."

Mandarin growled and started screeching, looking at me. Skeleton King followed and saw me as well.

"The girl yet lives?!" Skeleton King growled.

He lifted his finger and gestured a 'Come Here'. A force picked me up and carried me to him. He lowered his hand and the force dropped me with a thud.

"You are fortunate, girl. You will witness the birth of the Dark One." Skeleton King told me, "Once free, Shuggarzoom will be consumed. Your friend's civilization ended."

"All this, just so you can bow to what made you into the monster you are now." I spoke up, "Turning on your own flesh and blood."

"So, you've come to accept what stands before you." Skeleton King smiled.

I struggled to get back to my feet, "I've come to accept that my father was a good man." I glared at the tyrant, "You are just a mere shadow of who he was!"

Skeleton King glared at me, "Mandarin, finish this insect."

Mandarin grinned and summoned his energy blade from his guantlet. I summoned my claws and blocked his attack.

Mandarin grinned at me, "This brings back memories, does it not? You and me. Locked in a battle to determine the future."

He and I charged toward each other and locked in combat. Mandarin and I were even-stevens, until he used his agility to outmaneuver me and landed a blow on my right arm. He kicked me back.

Mandarin withdrew his weapons and smiled, "Come, my dearest sister. You belong with us. Father and I can teach you to reach your full potential. Without the Power Primate."

I charged to attack with my left claw, but he was able to dodge and kick me back toward Skeleton King.

Mandarin frowned, "Such a waste..."

"Some benelovent, cosmic force chose you to protect this universe." Skeleton King spoke up, picking me up with the power of his staff, "You are special. I will not see you wasted." He turned me to face him, "You will provide the final sustainance the Dark One needs to break free!"

Mandarin gasped, "But, my lord! She can be a powerful asset to us. She just needs to understand why."

Skeleton King and I looked at the Formless monkey. Why does he care that I should live? He's tried to kill me three times.

Suddenly a blast of energy struck Skeleton King, throwing his staff out of his hand. A familiar black Monkey with ghost-like claws grabbed the staff. Mandarin jumped to attack, but the Monkey whacked him away and threw the staff into the pool.

It was Antauri.

He leaped into the air and attacked Skeleton King with his claws and dodged the tyrant's attack. Antauri was able to leave a mark on Skeleton King's 'eye' on his chest. It sparked and Skeleton King growled in pain and strike back with a wave of dark energy.

The smoke and dust from the attack cleared and Antauri was gone. I could still sense him around the area.

"You always were the most clever of the Monkeys." Skeleton King chuckled, "But your weakness is obvious."

He lifted his hand and the force carried me closer to him and started shocking me with his dark energy.

"Antauri! Don't!" I shouted.

But he jumped out from his hiding place. Skeleton King raised his free hand and the force grabbed Antauri from his neck.

"You created us... To protect the universe..." Antauri spoke up between breaths.

"A mistake, Antauri." Skeleton answered, as Antauri shut down, "Just as all life is nothing more than a tragic, pointless mistake." He chuckled, "One that I... We will soon remedy."

He started to laugh, unaware Antauri sprung back to life and used his claws to phase through and grab his organic organs. Purple energy errupted and Skeleton King screamed in pain. Skeleton King stepped back and fell into the pool.

Flames of black and purple exploded from the pool. The force dropped us on the ground.

The flames vanished and I turned to the black Monkey next to me, "Antauri, that was incredible. How...?"

Antauri turned to me, "Is the Power Primate really gone, Ellie?"

I smile grew on my face. Then I saw something approaching him from behind.

It was Mandarin!

I pushed Antauri out of the way, as Mandarin drew his blade and he ran it straight through me.

"Ellie!" I heard Antauri cry, as all I could feel was the burning of the energy blade and the growing numbness.

"Such a waste..." Mandarin frowned, as I fell to the ground and he withdrew his blade, "You should've joined us when you had the chance..."

I glared at the Formless monkey. With my last ounce of strength, I summoned my claws, "Phantom... Strike!" I shouted as I attacked the ground with my claws.

Black energy traveled and the ground underneath Mandarin's feet gave out. He fell into the pool.

Antauri ran to me and picked up my head, "Hold on, Ellie. You are going to be alright."

"Never mind... About me, Antauri..." I looked at him, "The Egg... It needs... To be... Sealed..."

Then I gasped as a beam of purple energy attacked us. The aftershock threw me away from Antauri and off the edge. I was able to grab the ledge and saw something that would give you nightmares for weeks.

My father was alive and he was merged with some tendril attached to his head, "I... Awaken... Let the world shatter before its master..."

Antauri tried to get back to his feet. Skeleton King turned his attention to him and roared at him.

Something powerful filled me with great strength. I leaped over the ledge and landed in between Antauri and my father.

"Stay away from him..." I growled.

Skeleton King attcked me with a beam of energy. "Nether Shield!" I created a shield, but it disappeared and I was thrown across the platform. I couldn't move anymore. The strength was gone.

Tears welled up in my eyes, "Antauri... I'm so sorry. I failed you."

Skeleton King floated over me, "You failed your world!"

He aimed to finish me off, but a large robot foot stepped on the tendril and knocked him to the ground. It was the Super Robot. How is it still functioning?

Otto, Sparx, Chiro, Gibson and Nova flew out of the Super Robot. A smile of relief appeared on my face, "Monkey Team... Chiro..." They're alright. Thank goodness.

"Hang on, Ellie." Otto shouted, as he reached his hand to me.

Two red beams knocked them out of the air and another tendril knocked the Super Robot down. The ground cracked an opened more on impact of the Robot's fall.

Skeleton King rose again, "I WILL BE FREE!"

The pool rose higher and the ground shook. The Dark One was starting to surface. This is bad.

"It's breaking out!" Sparx cried.

My child... Only a heart of pure light... Can expel the darkness...

A small smile grew on my face. I understand, Power Primate. I know what I have to do: Let everything go. My powers. My fears. My spirit. To save my friends. To save my family. To save Shuggarzoom and the universe.

Antauri's POV.

A second of silence, then I felt something warm and beating comfort me. I turned and saw Ellie stepping back toward the edge of the platform, engulfed in a hot white flame.

My heart sank and screamed. I knew what she was doing. I ran after her, "Ellie, no!"

Ellie fell into the pool. Her essence exceeding beyond her restrictions. I can't believe she did that. Why?

An explosion of white energy and a white flame in an azure hue flew out of the pool and toward me. I raised my hands and the flame rested. I could feel Ellie's presence within the flame. She purified the Power Primate with her essence.

The flame turned black with a green hue, phased through me, enveloping my body with a white flame, and flew into the Super Robot. The Robot was enveloped in a white light. The Dark One began to emerge from the pool. The Super Robot started moving on its own.

"Uh... Who's driving the Robot?" Otto asked.

The Robot placed its hands over the Dark One Egg and Power Primate energy began sealing the crack. How is that possible? The energy separated the head of the Dark One from its body. It floated out of the Pit and into the skies of Shuggarzoom.

The egg was fully sealed. The Super Robot shut down. The white flame around my body faded and everything went calm.

"Did we win?" Otto asked.

"I... I think so." Sparx answered.

Antauri...

Ellie?

Antauri... Come find me... I'm alive...

Determination filled my heart and I climbed the pit to journey across the Zone of Wasted Years. If Ellie says she's still alive, I have to find a way to bring her back.

*Later, The Next Morning...*

Chiro's POV.

The Monkeys and I held a small funeral for Ellie. Her glasses, scarf and gloves rested in her white elevator.

Otto placed a gear next to the elevator.

"We're gonna miss you, Ellie." Nova whispered.

"She always thought about the wellbeing of others before herself." Gibson sulked.

"As Antauri would say, 'The end of life was but the beginning of a greater journey'." I whispered.

"But she's all alone now." Otto sadly pointed out.

Sparx shook his head, "No. No Monkey Team member is ever alone."

With that, Gibson and Sparx began the repairs on the Super Robot.

I balled my hands into fists and closed my eyes to fight back the tears. They fell anyway and I fell to my knees.

My best friend. My sister. Why did she sacrifice herself for us?

I felt Nova put her hand over my shoulder.

I couldn't help but wonder. Wherever Antauri has run off to, I hope he knows where he's going.
