The White Monkey

Flytor

~Shouko's POV~

Here we go again. One of Skeleton King's monsters has been seen attacking one of Shuggazoom's main factories.

It was a giant worm-like creature, similar to the one that threatened to sink the city. But this one can move and the tentacles don't have pincer-like mouths. So, we decided to fight it inside the Super Robot.

The worm roared. "Launch Mega Missiles!" Chiro instructed.

The Mega Missiles were fired and aimed for the worm's face. The worm saw them coming and used its tentacles to protect itself.

Gibson scratched his brow, "Hmm... Impressive target and interception matrixing. Or, as more articulate humans would say, 'Wow'."

"We can't let this thing reach the populated sector." Chiro told us, "Move in for close combat."

The Super Robot obeyed and moved closer to the worm.

"Careful, Chiro. You're in range of its attack." Antauri warned Chiro.

The worm glared at the Super Robot and attacked. The Robot protected itself from the first attack, but the second attack got sneaky and struck the Robot on its side.

The worm leaped over and grabbed the Super Robot with its tentacles, planning to drag it down. The alarms blared as the Robot was taking some serious damage.

"Prepare to disengage." Chiro shouted.

With that, the Super Robot separated into vehicle mode and each of the crafts had a tentacle around them. We all flew and drove is different directions, but the worm was stronger than it looked. Then it gave in and exploded into pieces.

That was a bit too easy. Something in my gut told me we didn't kill this thing...

"So much for 'Mouth-tor'." Otto spoke up.

"'Mouth-tor'?" Gibson repeated, "Really, Otto. Must you give every creature we engage a ridiculous name?"

"I like 'Mouth-tor'." Chiro defended, "But whatever the name, we won again."

With that, we returned to HQ.

*The Next Day...*

Since our encounter with Mouth-tor, Shuggarzoom has been quiet. Chiro, Nova, Gibson, Otto and Sparx were in the lounge. Antauri and I were preparing for the our patrol.

We arrived in the lounge. Sparx and Chiro were playing a vid-game. Otto was working on something in his chair. Gibson and Nova were watching Chiro and Sparx play.

"We're behind schedule, Team. We need to prep for patrol." Antauri told everyone.

"But the scanner shows all clear." Chiro pointed out.

Antauri folded his arms, "We have a responsibility to Shuggarzoom. At all times."

Chiro paused the game and sighed, "Well, sometimes I wish the city could take care of itself. I mean, do we have to do everything?" Then thought out loud, "Maybe there could be some kind of... I dunno... An automatic defense system."
