The White Monkey Prt 2

The Stranded Seven

~Shouko's POV~

The Super Robot has just jumped through hyperspace, exiting close to another planet.

"Instruments confirm the Skeleton King Worm is moving in this quadrant." Gibson informed us, as we looked over the scanners.

The scanners showed that the planet closest to the Super Robot was being covered by a haze of corrupting energy. Something is going on down there.

"I sense remnants of his dark energy emanating from that world." Antauri spoke up.

"I sense it too, Antauri." I answered, "Something is going on down there..."

"Let's go in for a closer look." Chiro instructed.

The Super Robot entered the planet's atmosphere and flew over the clouds. Suddenly, we were greeted by a upcoming haze. It felt alive.

"Weird..." Chiro noticed, "What is that?"

Suddenly, the haze attacked us before anyone could react. It was a swarm of praying mantis-like insects and they were charging into the Super Robot. I tried to raised the Robot's arms to protect itself, but something was wrong.

"We lost power to our engines!" Gibson alerted.

Suddenly, the Super Robot's back plate gave out and both engines fell out.

"It's worse!" Otto replied, "We've lost our engines!"

The Super Robot began spiraling out of control in the air, aiming for a crash landing. We crashed into an empty mountainous region of the planet. I picked myself up, making the Super Robot do so as well.

"Ow..." I muttered under my breath, then asked, "Is everyone alright?"

"Y-yeah." Nova answered, then wondered, "What in the blazes just happened?"

"We were attacked by some airborne menace." Gibson answered, then alarmed, "And here it comes again!"

"Everyone! Brace for impact!" I instructed, as the Super Robot got back to its feet and the swarm attacked again.

The Super Robot tried to protect itself, only to get hurt. The insects are piercing through the armor and the Super Robot was starting to fall apart.

"Gibson! Give me power!" Chiro told Gibson.

"The Neutron Generator is down to four percent energy!" Gibson answered.

A praying mantis landed on top of Foot Cruiser 6 and jabbed its claw.

"A little help here!" Nova shouted.

"Antauri, direct all emergency power to the deflector shields. Now!" Chiro instructed Antauri.

"Roger, Chiro." Antauri answered.

The emergency power was directed into the deflector shields and the Super Robot glowed like a shining star, the energy destroyed the insects with ease. Once the Super Robot stopped glowing and the insects were defeated, The Super Robot began to topple back and fell into the mountain behind it and power was shut down.

Chiro, the Monkeys and I exit the Super Robot through the emergency hatch in Foot Cruiser 5 and looked at the damage the insect inflicted on the Super Robot.

"Aaaww! Look what they did to the Robot." Otto sighed.

"Picked apart by that insectoid threat." Gibson sighed, then he groaned, "Ugh! I despise bugs!"

"And we're stranded with them." Sparx noticed, "Happy?"

Nova folded her arms, "Huh... Too bad they didn't take you too." Sparx lowered his head and flinched from Nova's words.
