Sparx never liked Mandarin…even in the early days of the team protecting the city. Their leader was to put it bluntly a pain in the ass to deal with, he pushed the whole team too hard during training and hardly ever gave good constructive feedback. The pilot never held back when confronting Mandarin often leading to arguments which Antauri had to step in to mediate the situation.

The red monkey didn’t care that mandarin was the leader especially when calling Mandarin out on his bullshit. Sparx could make a whole list of why he hated the orange monkey but…why did it still hurt when Mandarin betrayed their team.

The hyperforce was meant to be a united front to protect thr city and its people who knew they had to defend it against one of their own. Mandarin was their leader, brother, ‘friend’ and most importantly part of their family despite his personality.

The whole team had to fight against their own leader, it took all of their efforts to take down one monkey. The battle with mandarin left the team battered and hurt physically as well as mentally. However it was Antauri who delivered the final blow to Mandarin bringing their leader-no…their former leader to his knees. They stripped him of his rank, weapons and helmet before putting him away forever in a prison.

That jerk didn’t even hesitate to attack the team! The bruises and injuries they held (luckily they weren’t life threatening) was proof of it. It was only a few hours ago yet it still felt like the battle just ended. Sparx inhaled sharply as his metal digits clenched into fists feeling a rise of anger but also hurt. The whole team was safely inside the robot safe yet so shaken but still injured. Sparx hadn’t spoken to anyone else yet nor had gone to the medibay for treatment. It was confusing Sparx didn’t know how to feel but all he could do was raise a fist and raise it back before smashing it into the nearby wall with a bang and a yell leaving a noticeable dent in the metal wall.
