Hey, guys! This is my first fic in a while, and it just so happens to be my first fanfiction for Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! This first chapter is a prologue to give background info, so I apologize if it's kind of boring. It will get better, I promise.

Chapter 1: Just a Dream?

Chiro glanced around at the outskirts of his home, Shuggazoom City. Wandering into the meadow, he gasped with surprise, stopping in front of a giant robot.

"Whoa," he murmured. "When did that get there?" Opening an automatic door in the front of its foot, he walked inside somewhat absent-mindedly. As he explored, he discovered a dark room with six tubes, five of them each with a figure inside he didn't recognize. In the middle of the room was a lever, which something inside of him ordered him to pull.

Taking a deep breath, unsure of what would happen, he slowly reached for the lever. Grabbing it, he cautiously pulled down, and then...

"Chiro!" called the familiar voice from downstairs. "Wake up! It's time for breakfast."

Chiro's eyes flipped open. It felt like that was the millionth time he'd had that same dream. "Coming, Mr. Colburn!" he called to his foster father before stretching out and yawning.

He silently sat down at the table and ate some cereal that Mr. Colburn had poured into a bowl for him. Why did he keep having that same dream? Chiro had the feeling it wasn't a usual recurring dream. It was almost like someone was sending him a message, telling him something.

"Chiro?" asked Mr. Colburn, snapping the boy out of his thoughts. "Is something wrong?"

Chiro sighed. He had learned long ago that there was no point arguing with this foster parent. Mr. Colburn was persistent, even though most other foster parents would just leave him alone, no questions asked.

"I keep having this weird dream, Mr. Colburn," Chiro began. "I'm exploring the outskirts of Shuggazoom, and I suddenly find this big robot. I go inside to find out what it is. Usually, you wake me up right then, but this time, I went into a dark, weird room and pulled a lever. That was when you called me down here."

Mr. Colburn nodded. "Dreams are pretty strange," he admitted. "Everyone has dreams no one can explain. They break every law of reality ever to exist. You don't need to worry about it, Chiro."

That's where he's wrong, the boy thought. He finished breakfast as soon as he could, took a shower, and informed Mr. Colburn he was going for a walk.

Trusting the directions of his instincts, he walked to the outskirts of Shuggazoom City. Kicking along a can he'd found on the ground about halfway there, he finally found the meadow from his dream and... the robot! How long has it been here? he wondered, noting the moss-covered walls.

He took a deep breath, calming the apprehension he knew was natural, not to mention safe. He pushed a button on one of the robot's feet, opening a door. He walked inside and wandered around as quietly as he could, but he could still hear his footsteps echoing.

He opened doors to several rooms, none of which had lights on, and even looked inside some capsules that appeared to be miniature bedrooms. He gasped at the last room he opened: a large one with six different-colored tubes and a lever in the middle. The room from his dream!

Clenching his teeth with anxiety, he walked slowly and shakily to the lever. Reaching a trembling hand forward, he grabbed the lever and quickly pulled it. Something green, glowing, and somewhat transparent made its way from the lever through Chiro's arm.

The boy knew he had to be quiet, but the shock and terror of the green thing coursing through him forced him to shout. His cries grew much louder as he suddenly felt extreme pain all throughout his body. Almost immediately after the pain stopped, he collapsed, unconscious, unaware of the five shadows looming over him.

I think this just might be the first time I wrote a chapter all at once. I was initially planning to make this like a movie, but I realized I can't stretch out the plot for more than 3 or 4 chapters. Oh, well. I still think this story is cool.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: The dream that ends because of a familiar sound and leads the protagonist to his destiny was kind of inspired by what happened in the beginning of Warriors: Into the Wild by Erin Hunter.
