There was once a tale of a small little town. A town where nothing interesting ever happened, everything was normal. A town where a large, mysterious factory bellowed out smoke everyday at the same time. Smoke that seemed designed to in close the little town from the rest of the world, causing its people to question if there really was a world outside. Then one day a very mysterious girl arrived to the town wielding a powerful bass guitar. This girl set off a chain of events that shook the very fabric of the poor little town to its very core. Yet with all the chaos she brought, the girl also proved that the people of the small town weren't alone, that there was a world outside. The girl befriended a young boy and together they fought an amazing battle atop a gigantic hand, a hand that seemed to tell the people of the town that they were getting too far, too free. When all was said and done the hand was gone and the smoke of the factory would no longer blow. A mighty bird had been freed and with his leaving so did the girl. The boy was saddened, but had grown a lot and still had his whole life to live; after all he was still just a kid....
Episode 1: Newly Cooly
Chapter 1: Taru-kun
Tasuku walks through a park. He's not sure what park, just a park. It's night, like twelve-o-clock and the park is empty, which suits Tasuku right now. He sits on a near by bench for some needed rest. Tasuku was just laid off from his job, the third this month and though he should be thinking about how he's going to pay the bills or how he's going to get home or what he's going to eat tonight, he's just staring at the sky. He wonders how he got here, how he fell so far and of the "old days", of his home in Japan and then he starts to think of his family. Tasuku spends a good, long while thinking and just as he thinks that he has thought about just about everything a person can think about he sees something in the sky. A star, a comet maybe, but no it's something more, something familiar, something bad. The object is traveling east, towards Tasuku's home, towards the past. Tasuku stares at the object until it disappears over the trees and then falls asleep.
Chapter 2: Vacation Time
Mamimi: Bye, I'll be back in a week!
-Yells Mamimi to her boss as she leaves the newspaper building. Mamimi is a very talented photographer and works for a very popular tabloid. She is taking time off to visit her family back in Mabase, Japan. She has been in America for two years now and wants to see how her hometown has changed. She doesn't really miss her home, in fact at times she wishes she were born in New York instead of Mabase. It is more the people that she misses, but only a few. Mamimi's life has been hard ever since she was young, but now her life is perfect, just perfect. Mamimi walks down the street checking her plane tickets.-
Mamimi: Now the plane leaves at five so I should arrive there at eight, right?
-Mamimi examines the streets saying goodbye to her new home and preparing herself for anything that may happen back in Mabase. As she passes by a man playing a guitar, her ears are instantly locked on the tune that fills the air. She knows that song, it's very familiar, but it is impossible to hear that song here because the only person she knows that ever played that song was gone. She stops and stands there for a moment listening to the song, perhaps the song she was hearing was different than that other one, but no, it's THAT song. Mamimi slowly turns to look upon the guitarist, knowing that she will not know him. He will be different, a stranger and she was right. It was a stranger, a stranger that had grown from someone she once knew.-
Mamimi: Ta-ku- Tasuku?
-Spoke Mamimi quietly, partly hoping that no one would hear her. The guitarist stopped playing and slowly dropped the bottom of his bright orange guitar to the pavement. He looked up to see Mamimi. She was as he remembered her, crimson red hair, camera in hand. She was the same, just as he had left her. Tasuku laughed a little.-
Tasuku: So you came all this way to see me? Thanks kid, but ya could've just called.
Mamimi: I would've, but...Tasuku is it you? Is it you Ta-kun? -Said Mamimi sheepishly.-
Tasuku: Ha! Ta-kun? You've made a nickname for me even when I was gone?
Mamimi: It wasn't for you!!!
-Mamimi snapped. The two were silent for a few moments.-
Mamimi: Tasuku...I l-
Tasuku: So where you headed kid?
-Interrupted Tasuku. Mamimi paused for a moment.-
Mamimi: I'm actually headed home to Mabase, for a little visit ya know.
-Tasuku's eye's lit up and he rushed up to Mamimi. He grabbed her hand.-
Tasuku: Mamimi! I must come with you! Please, I'll pay ya back some how I swear, just please take me with you!
-Mamimi smiled and said.-
Mamimi: Why should I when you didn't...
-She stopped and asked.-
Mamimi: Why? Is something wrong back home?
-Tasuku looked up at the sky and sighed.-
Tasuku: I'm not sure, but... I have to go Mamimi, we have to go...
-The pair was silent for a few moments as Mamimi thought it over. –
Mamimi: Ok, But you owe me, got it.
-Tasuku smiled and nodded.- Mamimi: Now come on.
-Mamimi checked her watch.-
Mamimi: We have just enough time to get you a ticket before the plane leaves.
-Mamimi moves towards the street to hail a taxi; Tasuku tightens his grip on Mamimi wrist slightly.-
Tasuku: It IS nice to see you again...Mamimi.
-Mamimi pauses and then pulls Tasuku along.-
Mamimi: Come on you can admire my amazing beauty later.
-The two race off.
Chapter 3: The other woman
Ninamori runs down the streets of Mabase. She is in search of Naota, who wasn't at school today. Recently Naota had been missing school and not eating and just acting weird, acting more like before. Ninamori crosses one of the main bridges into Mabase and sees Masashi and Gaku.-
Ninamori: Hey guys, seen Naota around?
Masashi: Uhh he's down at that old plant; ya know the big abandoned one. He's been hang' in out over there a lot lately...
Gaku: Think he's waiting for that older girl to come back huh?
-Ninamori rushes off without saying anything. She was really worried about Naota. Ever since the two older girls had left, Naota seemed like a different person. He was more, helpful, considerate and generally more mature. Ever since then She and Naota had been getting closer, much closer. There were rumors in school that Naota was going to finally ask her out and then something happened. Naota started acting more antisocial again, but why? Ninamori arrived at the plant, a plant shaped like a large iron. The plant was supposed to be demolished mouths ago and had been in Mabase for about five years and she still had no idea of its purpose. Ninamori climbed over the caution tape gate that surrounded the plant and looked around for Naota. She walked up to the plant and gazed up at the light colored iron. It was beautiful in a way; it made Ninamori feel small in the universe yet this was a good feeling. It meant that she, humans weren't alone, but that was pure fantasy.-
Naota: It's amazing isn't it?
-Ninamori turned to the right to see Naota sitting on an upturned part of earth.-
Ninamori: No! It's a dead building that is more useless now than it was when it worked.
-Naota smiled-
Ninamori: Is this where you go now? Why? Your missing classes and tons of other stuff... What are you looking for, huh? Or should I say WHO are you looking for?
-Ninamori questioned-
Ninamori: You have me damn it...
-Whispers Ninamori. Naota slides down the large stone and walks up to Ninamori.-
Naota: Your right! Just'a stupid iron with no steam.
-Naota then started to leave the grounds; Ninamori followed after and eventually caught up with Naota. The two walk in silence over the bridge occasionally glancing at each other then quickly looking away. Just as the pair was passing through the bridge something caught Naota's eye. It was a car, a small light blue car that looked pretty old on the side of the road. Naota moved in for a closer look. Ninamori followed close behind, not saying anything. The two peered down pass the car to a grassy field, Mamimi's old stomping grounds, to see a tall man with reddish brown hair talking to a women with blonde hair in a blue suit, Kitsurubami and Amarao.
Kitsurubami: But sir, are we suppose to be doing this?
Amarao: No...absolutely not... but we have to, we are the only ones who know what's going on.
Kitsurubami: But sir it's been quiet, real quiet for two whole years... why come back now?
Amarao: I don't know how she thinks I just know it's her and this time we'll be ready.
Kitsurubami: But sir that reading was inconclusive, we don't know what it was and haven't you heard? I hear the department's gone' a get inspected soon by some high rank' in guy. So I don't think-
Amarao: Look Kitsy! I'm going to those mountains, now are you coming with me or not?!
Kitsurubami:... Yeah...provided you never call me Kitsy again...
-The two agents walk back up towards their car and Naota and Ninamori dive behind a trash car. Once the car drives off into the distance Ninamori asks.-
Ninamori: What ya think that was about?
Naota:...not sure, but it has something to do with the mountains.
Ninamori: Lets just forget it Naota! It could be dangerous and our parents would freak if they found out we tried to go to the mountains.
-Naota lets out a sigh, he knows she's right and decides that it was none of his business. The two proceed back to town and say their farewells. Naota walks the rest of the way home alone and wonders what his dad has made for dinner if anything at all. Naota opens the door to his house, walks in and takes off his shoes.-
Naota: Hey dad I'm-
Naota looks up and can hardly believe his eyes, sitting next to his dad is a pink haired, pale skin woman.-
Woman: Hey there...Takun.
-It was Haruko. Naota didn't know how to feel. He wanted to feel mad, sad, happy, repulsed, grateful and terrified all at the same time, but he felt nothing.-
Naota: It's...you...Haruko...
-With those words Haruko suddenly appeared behind Naota and started to hug him.-
Haruko: Awww look at that Ta-kun missed me! So how bad ya miss me?! Huh, huh, huh, HUH!
-Haruko then begins giving Naota a powerful noogy. Naota screams in pain and tries to push away from Haruko, he eventually wiggles loose of Haruko's hold.-
Kamon: Come now Naota, Haruko has returned to us and we should celebrate. Now show her some affection.
Naota: Ha! She's been floating around in space right. She might give me an INFECTION of some alien germ.
Haruko: The only bug I'd infect you with is the love bug!
Naota: Yeah right! Go infect yourself!
Haruko: Awww come on Ta-kun...TIME FOR YOUR MEDICINE!!
-Haruko pulls out a huge pill from out of nowhere and tries to jam it down Naota's throat. Naota fights for air and smacks the pill away and it crashes though a window.-
Naota: What are you trying to do? Pant, Pant kill me? Pant, Pant.
Haruko: Kill, pill, ill, fill, mill, will it all comes down to- HEY WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!
-Haruko begins slapping Naota from all sides-
Naota: AHHHH! I didn't say anything, your freak!!
-Haruko then brings out a guitar, not hers, but Kanti's. She swings it at Naota's forehead, but Naota was ready for this. When he saw that she had returned he figured sooner or later she would try and hit him and he subconsciously formed a plan. As soon the guitar got with in eye level, Naota ducked. Haruko missed-
Naota: Ha!! Miss me!
Suddenly another guitar followed after the first one, smacking Naota in the head dead center, on into a wall.-
Haruko: FOOOOOLY!!!!!!
Naota: AHHH!!! STOP IT YOU CRAZY BIT-
-Naota is struck again from behind-
Haruko: COOOOOOLY!!!!!!
-Naota is flung into another wall and slowly slides to the floor and passes out.
Chapter 4: "Coffee"
Amarao looks along the ground, something crashed here, the ground was burned. There were various different marks on the ground.-
Amarao: Ya see! I told ya it was a good idea to come up here. Something was definitely here.
Kitsurubami: But where is it now?
-Amarao studies the ground more for a moment-
Amarao: These tire tracks and footprints lead straight into town. Haruhara was here.
-Kitsurubami: Examines the footprints-
Kitsurubami: But these footprints, there now human or whatever Raharu is. There more like the print of a feline or a large bird...or a reptile. What does that mean?
Amarao:...all our answers lie with Raharu. We get her, we get whatever left those prints and that's what I'm afraid of. We need to stop this NOW before anything has a chance to act.
-Amarao walks back to his car and Kitsurubami follows shortly after. They drive back to town and down the streets of Mabase. Amarao seems focused, as if he knows exactly where to go, but Kitsurubami wants to make sure.-
Kitsurubami: So where should we look? She could be anything...
Amarao: If there's one thing I know about Raharu it's that she's unpredictably predictable. She only knows one place in town that is "safe" and that's where we're going.
-The old blue voltswagon rides up to the Nandaba household. The two agents of The Bureau of Interstellar Immigration or BOII climb out their car and walk up to the front house of the house. Meanwhile inside, Naota is just waking up. He opens his eyes to see that he is in his room, in his bed. He quickly leaps out of bed, remembering what had lead to his sleep and searches around for someone, no one in particular just someone. Naota slowly makes his way down stairs and into his living room to see his father sitting down with a cup of coffee, seated next to Amarao and Kitsurubami. As soon as his brain calculates exactly what was going on, he leaps back into the hallway that led upstairs in an attempt to hide himself.
Amarao: Awww yes Naota! Please come here we'd like a word with you.
Naota bit his lip and slowly came out from hiding.-
Kamon: Naota these people would like to ask you some questions.
Naota: Why not ask my dad? He, after all, is the adult.
-Amarao puts down his cup and walked over to Naota-
Amarao: That's true, but I think you may know more about this than your father... How's life kiddo?
Naota: What?
Amarao: How are things going now'a days for you? You're in high school now right, one of the big boys. You've grown up, by yourself...with no help...
Naota: What's your point?
Amarao: If you did all that with no help then you don't need it now, do you?
Naota: Enough!! What the hell do you want?!
-Naota watches Amarao's eyes glare up at his forehead. He then looks back at Kamon, who has moved very close to an uncomfortable Kitsurubami. Amarao returns to Naota.-
Amarao: We're looking for...... some "coffee," Some special foreign coffee.
Naota: We don't have any... coffee...you drank it all.
Amarao: But I think you know where to get some more coffee, maybe some that just came in?
Naota: I don't like coffee... anymore. It's loud and annoying and...burns the roof of my mouth...
Amarao: Well then there's no problem just tell us where coffee is and we'll get her out of your... head.
-Naota feels his forehead and discovers that a bandage has been placed there.-
Naota: Coffee does what it wants, it's not like normal soda, sweet or sour, it's hot and bitter. If you want coffee you'll just have to find your own.
-By now Kamon is all over Kitsurubami, moving his fish lips closer and closer to her. She finally kicks him off and stands up.-
Kitsurubami: Sir!! May we PLEASE leave now!!
-Amarao stares at Naota for a moment and then he and Kitsurubami walk to the door. Naota stays where he is and keeps his eyes locked on Amarao. Kitsurubami walks out and Amarao follows after. He stops and looks back.-
Amarao: Kid...If you DO find coffee... tell me and I'll make sure coffee never hurts you again. Coffee is dangerous, it can burn you if your not careful...and it has before, remember. Don't forget what coffee really is.
-Amarao leaves and Naota hears a car drive away. He lets out a sigh of relief. Kamon gets up with a coffee cup on his head and coffee dripping off his head.-
Kamon: Geez, wonder what that was all about huh Naota? What, they don't like our coffee or something? I know it's the cheap brand, but man, she didn't have to kick me like that!
-Naota laughs a little and then heads for his room.-
Kamon: Ohh don't say up there too long Nao. Dinner's in an hour, we're having spicy food.
Naota: I don't want any, I'm not hunger...
Kamon: What?! But you love the spicy stuff now, I thought?
Naota: Well not anymore ok!!!
-Naota Snapped as he ran up stairs and crashed into his bed. He wrapped himself around his covers and just lay there.-
Haruko: They gone yet?
-Naota let out a wail and jumped off his bed to the floor. His covers came to life and rose up from the bed like a blanket possessed. The covers threw off and there sat Haruko, smiling down sinisterly on a freaked out Naota. Calm returned Naota slightly as he fell back on the floor.-
Naota: Don't do that!!!
Haruko: Hehehe! So are they here or gone?
Naota:... they're gone...for now...
Haruko: Awww Ta-kun you saved me from those mean old police people! Thank you sooo much Ta-kun, I think you deserve a reward...
-Haruko crawls over top of Naota and holds his wrist to the floor. Naota starts to struggle, but decides to save energy. He just turns his head and stare into space.-
Naota: Get off... what do you want here anyway? Just come back to ruin my life again?
Haruko: I came back to see what my big, strong man has become...... and to get my guitar back!
-Naota is outraged. The very nerve of her coming back here just for that damn guitar-
Naota: That's what you want!!! That's why you're here!!! Well fine!!! You can-.......I sold it!
-The two are silent for a few moments. Haruko rolls off Naota and stands up.-
Haruko: Fine Naota...I guess I'll stay a little longer, but only cuz you want me to!
Naota: Hmmmfff!!!
Haruko: Well then I better see what Kamon's mak'in for dinner. I'm sure you haven't had a decent meal in years, heheh.
-Naota crawls into his bed and pulls the covers over his head.-
Haruko: Come on Kanti!!!
-Suddenly the bed starts to shake and Kanti slowly climbs out. Haruko and Kanti walk out. Naota examines the place on the bed from where Kanti came out. It seemed impossible that such a large thing could come out from such a place, but after a moment or two Naota was uninterested and so he curls back up and goes to sleep.
Chapter 5: Back into the swing of things
Naota walks down stairs and into the living room to see Haruko watching TV while Kanti folds clothes near by. He slowly and quietly makes his towards the front door trying to sneak pass Haruko and get out of the house without her knowing.-
Haruko: Where ya going Ta-kun?
-His plan failed, Naota just walks to the door.-
Naota: If you must know I'm going to meet some friends.
Haurko: Friendsss?
Naota: Yes, we have a project for school due soon and we have to finish.-
-Haruko is silent. Naota steps out the door and begins to close it.-
Haruko: Bye Ta-kun see ya soon.
Naota: ...Bye...
-Naota closes the door and walks off into town. Later he, Ninamori, Gaku and Masashi met at the old plant grounds, chosen by Naota himself. As soon as Ninamori shows up it is obvious she is uncomfortable. The group goes over their plans for the project, talking and writing things down occasionally. Ninamori hardly speaks a word the whole time and after awhile she decides to walk around the grounds. After a few minutes Naota decides to join her leaving Gaku and Masashi to finish up. Naota runs up to Ninamori and starts to walk along side her in silence.-
Ninamori: So have you found what you've been looking for?
Naota: What?! What do you mean?
Ninamori: You go here a lot and now were here now.... Have you found whatever you were looking for?
Naota: I wasn't-... no...
Ninamori: Well then maybe your looking in the wrong place. Maybe what your looking for is closer to you than this old iron. Maybe you don't even need to look cuz It's right in front of you...
Naota: Ninamori...I-
-Naota's glance was caught by a mysterious figure standing a few yields away from Ninamori and he. Ninamori sees it as well and the two stop in their tracks. Ninamori grabs on to Naota and holds tight as the figure slow moves towards them.-
Naota: Hey! Who are you?!
-The figure stops and now can be seen to be a lizard-like robot. The machine seems damaged with cracks and depressions scattered over its body. After a few moments the creature charges like a rocket at Ninamori. Naota can see where the robot is headed and pushes Ninamori aside. The robot elbows Naota in the chest and he flies back a few feet and lands on the ground holding his chest. The robot twitches a few times and jolts of electricity shoot out from cracks in its frame. It turns its sights on Ninamori once more and prepares to charge again. Naota can see what is about to happen and struggles to his feet. He races towards the robot to intercept its action, but by the time he makes it to the robot it has already sped away. Ninamori backs away from the lizard-bot as fast as she can, but trips over a rock and falls to the ground. The machine stops just before Ninamori's foot and stares down on its victim. Ninamori closes her eyes tight waiting for the final blow, when she hears an odd sound approaching her. The sound, like that of a rocket or missile, becomes ever louder as it comes closer and closer to its target. Ninamori opens her eyes to see a huge energy blast heading towards her robot captor. The machine stares at the blast as it approaches and quickly ducks to avoid the beam. The bright energy flies off into town and slams into a small building totally destroying it. Ninamori looks off for the origin of the blast and sees Kitsurubami and Amarao out in the distance holding a huge smoking cannon like device.-
Amarao: DAMN IT!!! I told you to hold that thing straight Kitsurubami!!!
Kitsurubami: I'm sorry sir, but I've never done anything like this before!!
-Back on the battle field the lizard-bot is suddenly bashed in the back of the head by a guitar sending it crashing into the earth. Haruko helps Ninamori to her feet and then races after the robot.-
Haruko: HEY!! I thought I got rid of you!!!
-Haruko smashes her guitar into the robot's chest and it flies into the sky. The robot curls into a ball and starts to spin up higher. It then reverses it's rotation and hurdles towards Haruko. Haruko dives out of the robots path and it drills into the ground forming a large hole. The robot then leaps out of the hold and raises it's right arm towards Haruko. Haruko flies at her opponent with fury in her eyes. She hovers over the robot and prepares to bring her guitar down on its head when she is repealed by an intense force being emitted from the robots hand. She lands on her feet, legs spread as she slides back across the earth. The robot gives chase and leaps on Haruko wrapping it's tail around her waist and flings her across the field. Haruko lands on her side and rolls further down the field eventually landing on her back. The mechanical reptile crashed down on top of Haruko with one of its wide, metallic feet on ether side of her. It raises its large prehensile tail in the air over Haruko's head and pulls it back in a striking position. Haruko grabs a hold of her guitar and swings it towards the tail, but her attack it blocked by the robots massive left arm and the guitar is knocked across the field. The robot then grabs Haruko around the neck and lefts her into the air. She struggles frantically to get free, kicking and pulling at the robot to release her, but to no prevail. It seems that Haruko's fate is sealed when suddenly Naota appears behind the robot. He lays a hand on the robot's shoulder and increasingly tights his grip.-
Naota: Let...go...of...HER!!!
-Naota is squeezing the robot's shoulder with such force that the metal that makes it up is beginning to crack. Suddenly Kanti falls from the sky behind Naota. In one quick movement Kanti whips out Its tongue, engulfs Naota into itself and throws the lizard-bot behind it. Haruko kneels on the ground gasping for air.-
Haruko: Ack, Ackk!! You still got it Ta-kun! Ack, ack!!!
-The newly fused Kanti and Naota fly at the lizard-bot leaving a bright red streak through the air. The robot stands up preparing for Kanti's arrival. The lizard-bot then launches it's tail between it's legs at Kanti. Kanti lands and dodges the attack, grabs the tail and attempts to pull the lizard- bot closer to itself. The robot grabs its own tail and pulls back. Haruko watches the struggle between the two bots and can't help but laugh at the back and forth motion of the tail being pulled between the lizard's legs. She then runs up to the middle of lizard-bot's tail and raises her guitar over it.-
Haruko: Heh! Don't you know you'll go blind if you keep do'in that! HA!!
-She then brings down her guitar on the tail splitting it in half. The Robot retracts the rest of its tail and raises it's hand toward Haruko and Kanti, blasting them back across the field. Kanti stops both Haruko and himself in midair. After putting Haruko safely on the ground, Kanti leaps into the sky and brings the end of the lizard's tail down on its former owner. The robot brings both of its arms over its head and blocks the tail. Kanti then releases the tail and flips back kicking the lizard-bot into the sky. The robot rockets into the atmosphere for a while, but eventually rights itself and begins to return to earth in an attack position, aimed at Kanti. Kanti waits for the lizard-bot to get in just the right range and then transforms into it's "gun mode." It fires a large crimson sphere at the enemy bot, which smashes straight through the robot's body. The lizard- bot then explodes spilling fragments of metal, wire and glass across the field like confetti. The red sphere returns to Kanti and it's reverts back to it's robot form. A few seconds later Naota falls out of Kanti. Haruko walks up to Naota.-
Haruko: Good work Ta-kun, but next time keep your little friends out of the battlefield.
Naota:...Nina....NINAMORI!!! Where is she?!!!
-Naota leaps to his feet and searches around for Ninamori.-
Ninamori: I'm right here Naota!!
-Naota runs to Ninamori and a claming relief flows over him.-
Naota: Your ok....
Ninamori: Yeah...Thanks to you...
-The two were silent just staring into each other's eyes, while Haruko watches a blue voltswagon drive into the distance.
Chapter 6: Now we've got a full set
Naota gets up and starts for the stairs. It's been a long day and Naota's head still hurts from earlier. Just then Haruko walks into the living room all dressed up for riding.-
Naota: Where are you going?
Haruko: Why? You worried about me Ta-kun?
-Naota storms out the room-
Haruko:...Bye, bye Ta-kun....... I might not see ya for a while.... be a good boy, kay?
-Naota stops-
Naota: Why not...
-Haruko walks out the door without hearing Naota. A few minutes later Naota hears a knock on the door from his room. The knocking persists and no one else seems as if they're going to get it so Naota reluctantly goes down stairs. He opens the door.-
Naota: What's wrong? Lost your key Haru-
-Naota can hardly believe his eyes. Expecting to see Haruko, Naota's eyes now lie on none other than Mamimi and Tasuku.
Tasuku: Hey Nao......can we come in?

There was once a tale of a small little town. A town where nothing interesting ever happened, everything was normal. A town where a large, mysterious factory bellowed out smoke everyday at the same time. Smoke that seemed designed to in close the little town from the rest of the world, causing its people to question if there really was a world outside. Then one day a very mysterious girl arrived to the town wielding a powerful bass guitar. This girl set off a chain of events that shook the very fabric of the poor little town to its very core. Yet with all the chaos she brought, the girl also proved that the people of the small town weren't alone, that there was a world outside. The girl befriended a young boy and together they fought an amazing battle atop a gigantic hand, a hand that seemed to tell the people of the town that they were getting too far, too free. When all was said and done the hand was gone and the smoke of the factory would no longer blow. A mighty bird had been freed and with his leaving so did the girl. The boy was saddened, but had grown a lot and still had his whole life to live; after all he was still just a kid....
Episode 1: Newly Cooly
Chapter 1: Taru-kun
Tasuku walks through a park. He's not sure what park, just a park. It's night, like twelve-o-clock and the park is empty, which suits Tasuku right now. He sits on a near by bench for some needed rest. Tasuku was just laid off from his job, the third this month and though he should be thinking about how he's going to pay the bills or how he's going to get home or what he's going to eat tonight, he's just staring at the sky. He wonders how he got here, how he fell so far and of the "old days", of his home in Japan and then he starts to think of his family. Tasuku spends a good, long while thinking and just as he thinks that he has thought about just about everything a person can think about he sees something in the sky. A star, a comet maybe, but no it's something more, something familiar, something bad. The object is traveling east, towards Tasuku's home, towards the past. Tasuku stares at the object until it disappears over the trees and then falls asleep.
Chapter 2: Vacation Time
Mamimi: Bye, I'll be back in a week!
-Yells Mamimi to her boss as she leaves the newspaper building. Mamimi is a very talented photographer and works for a very popular tabloid. She is taking time off to visit her family back in Mabase, Japan. She has been in America for two years now and wants to see how her hometown has changed. She doesn't really miss her home, in fact at times she wishes she were born in New York instead of Mabase. It is more the people that she misses, but only a few. Mamimi's life has been hard ever since she was young, but now her life is perfect, just perfect. Mamimi walks down the street checking her plane tickets.-
Mamimi: Now the plane leaves at five so I should arrive there at eight, right?
-Mamimi examines the streets saying goodbye to her new home and preparing herself for anything that may happen back in Mabase. As she passes by a man playing a guitar, her ears are instantly locked on the tune that fills the air. She knows that song, it's very familiar, but it is impossible to hear that song here because the only person she knows that ever played that song was gone. She stops and stands there for a moment listening to the song, perhaps the song she was hearing was different than that other one, but no, it's THAT song. Mamimi slowly turns to look upon the guitarist, knowing that she will not know him. He will be different, a stranger and she was right. It was a stranger, a stranger that had grown from someone she once knew.-
Mamimi: Ta-ku- Tasuku?
-Spoke Mamimi quietly, partly hoping that no one would hear her. The guitarist stopped playing and slowly dropped the bottom of his bright orange guitar to the pavement. He looked up to see Mamimi. She was as he remembered her, crimson red hair, camera in hand. She was the same, just as he had left her. Tasuku laughed a little.-
Tasuku: So you came all this way to see me? Thanks kid, but ya could've just called.
Mamimi: I would've, but...Tasuku is it you? Is it you Ta-kun? -Said Mamimi sheepishly.-
Tasuku: Ha! Ta-kun? You've made a nickname for me even when I was gone?
Mamimi: It wasn't for you!!!
-Mamimi snapped. The two were silent for a few moments.-
Mamimi: Tasuku...I l-
Tasuku: So where you headed kid?
-Interrupted Tasuku. Mamimi paused for a moment.-
Mamimi: I'm actually headed home to Mabase, for a little visit ya know.
-Tasuku's eye's lit up and he rushed up to Mamimi. He grabbed her hand.-
Tasuku: Mamimi! I must come with you! Please, I'll pay ya back some how I swear, just please take me with you!
-Mamimi smiled and said.-
Mamimi: Why should I when you didn't...
-She stopped and asked.-
Mamimi: Why? Is something wrong back home?
-Tasuku looked up at the sky and sighed.-
Tasuku: I'm not sure, but... I have to go Mamimi, we have to go...
-The pair was silent for a few moments as Mamimi thought it over. –
Mamimi: Ok, But you owe me, got it.
-Tasuku smiled and nodded.- Mamimi: Now come on.
-Mamimi checked her watch.-
Mamimi: We have just enough time to get you a ticket before the plane leaves.
-Mamimi moves towards the street to hail a taxi; Tasuku tightens his grip on Mamimi wrist slightly.-
Tasuku: It IS nice to see you again...Mamimi.
-Mamimi pauses and then pulls Tasuku along.-
Mamimi: Come on you can admire my amazing beauty later.
-The two race off.
Chapter 3: The other woman
Ninamori runs down the streets of Mabase. She is in search of Naota, who wasn't at school today. Recently Naota had been missing school and not eating and just acting weird, acting more like before. Ninamori crosses one of the main bridges into Mabase and sees Masashi and Gaku.-
Ninamori: Hey guys, seen Naota around?
Masashi: Uhh he's down at that old plant; ya know the big abandoned one. He's been hang' in out over there a lot lately...
Gaku: Think he's waiting for that older girl to come back huh?
-Ninamori rushes off without saying anything. She was really worried about Naota. Ever since the two older girls had left, Naota seemed like a different person. He was more, helpful, considerate and generally more mature. Ever since then She and Naota had been getting closer, much closer. There were rumors in school that Naota was going to finally ask her out and then something happened. Naota started acting more antisocial again, but why? Ninamori arrived at the plant, a plant shaped like a large iron. The plant was supposed to be demolished mouths ago and had been in Mabase for about five years and she still had no idea of its purpose. Ninamori climbed over the caution tape gate that surrounded the plant and looked around for Naota. She walked up to the plant and gazed up at the light colored iron. It was beautiful in a way; it made Ninamori feel small in the universe yet this was a good feeling. It meant that she, humans weren't alone, but that was pure fantasy.-
Naota: It's amazing isn't it?
-Ninamori turned to the right to see Naota sitting on an upturned part of earth.-
Ninamori: No! It's a dead building that is more useless now than it was when it worked.
-Naota smiled-
Ninamori: Is this where you go now? Why? Your missing classes and tons of other stuff... What are you looking for, huh? Or should I say WHO are you looking for?
-Ninamori questioned-
Ninamori: You have me damn it...
-Whispers Ninamori. Naota slides down the large stone and walks up to Ninamori.-
Naota: Your right! Just'a stupid iron with no steam.
-Naota then started to leave the grounds; Ninamori followed after and eventually caught up with Naota. The two walk in silence over the bridge occasionally glancing at each other then quickly looking away. Just as the pair was passing through the bridge something caught Naota's eye. It was a car, a small light blue car that looked pretty old on the side of the road. Naota moved in for a closer look. Ninamori followed close behind, not saying anything. The two peered down pass the car to a grassy field, Mamimi's old stomping grounds, to see a tall man with reddish brown hair talking to a women with blonde hair in a blue suit, Kitsurubami and Amarao.
Kitsurubami: But sir, are we suppose to be doing this?
Amarao: No...absolutely not... but we have to, we are the only ones who know what's going on.
Kitsurubami: But sir it's been quiet, real quiet for two whole years... why come back now?
Amarao: I don't know how she thinks I just know it's her and this time we'll be ready.
Kitsurubami: But sir that reading was inconclusive, we don't know what it was and haven't you heard? I hear the department's gone' a get inspected soon by some high rank' in guy. So I don't think-
Amarao: Look Kitsy! I'm going to those mountains, now are you coming with me or not?!
Kitsurubami:... Yeah...provided you never call me Kitsy again...
-The two agents walk back up towards their car and Naota and Ninamori dive behind a trash car. Once the car drives off into the distance Ninamori asks.-
Ninamori: What ya think that was about?
Naota:...not sure, but it has something to do with the mountains.
Ninamori: Lets just forget it Naota! It could be dangerous and our parents would freak if they found out we tried to go to the mountains.
-Naota lets out a sigh, he knows she's right and decides that it was none of his business. The two proceed back to town and say their farewells. Naota walks the rest of the way home alone and wonders what his dad has made for dinner if anything at all. Naota opens the door to his house, walks in and takes off his shoes.-
Naota: Hey dad I'm-
Naota looks up and can hardly believe his eyes, sitting next to his dad is a pink haired, pale skin woman.-
Woman: Hey there...Takun.
-It was Haruko. Naota didn't know how to feel. He wanted to feel mad, sad, happy, repulsed, grateful and terrified all at the same time, but he felt nothing.-
Naota: It's...you...Haruko...
-With those words Haruko suddenly appeared behind Naota and started to hug him.-
Haruko: Awww look at that Ta-kun missed me! So how bad ya miss me?! Huh, huh, huh, HUH!
-Haruko then begins giving Naota a powerful noogy. Naota screams in pain and tries to push away from Haruko, he eventually wiggles loose of Haruko's hold.-
Kamon: Come now Naota, Haruko has returned to us and we should celebrate. Now show her some affection.
Naota: Ha! She's been floating around in space right. She might give me an INFECTION of some alien germ.
Haruko: The only bug I'd infect you with is the love bug!
Naota: Yeah right! Go infect yourself!
Haruko: Awww come on Ta-kun...TIME FOR YOUR MEDICINE!!
-Haruko pulls out a huge pill from out of nowhere and tries to jam it down Naota's throat. Naota fights for air and smacks the pill away and it crashes though a window.-
Naota: What are you trying to do? Pant, Pant kill me? Pant, Pant.
Haruko: Kill, pill, ill, fill, mill, will it all comes down to- HEY WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!
-Haruko begins slapping Naota from all sides-
Naota: AHHHH! I didn't say anything, your freak!!
-Haruko then brings out a guitar, not hers, but Kanti's. She swings it at Naota's forehead, but Naota was ready for this. When he saw that she had returned he figured sooner or later she would try and hit him and he subconsciously formed a plan. As soon the guitar got with in eye level, Naota ducked. Haruko missed-
Naota: Ha!! Miss me!
Suddenly another guitar followed after the first one, smacking Naota in the head dead center, on into a wall.-
Haruko: FOOOOOLY!!!!!!
Naota: AHHH!!! STOP IT YOU CRAZY BIT-
-Naota is struck again from behind-
Haruko: COOOOOOLY!!!!!!
-Naota is flung into another wall and slowly slides to the floor and passes out.
Chapter 4: "Coffee"
Amarao looks along the ground, something crashed here, the ground was burned. There were various different marks on the ground.-
Amarao: Ya see! I told ya it was a good idea to come up here. Something was definitely here.
Kitsurubami: But where is it now?
-Amarao studies the ground more for a moment-
Amarao: These tire tracks and footprints lead straight into town. Haruhara was here.
-Kitsurubami: Examines the footprints-
Kitsurubami: But these footprints, there now human or whatever Raharu is. There more like the print of a feline or a large bird...or a reptile. What does that mean?
Amarao:...all our answers lie with Raharu. We get her, we get whatever left those prints and that's what I'm afraid of. We need to stop this NOW before anything has a chance to act.
-Amarao walks back to his car and Kitsurubami follows shortly after. They drive back to town and down the streets of Mabase. Amarao seems focused, as if he knows exactly where to go, but Kitsurubami wants to make sure.-
Kitsurubami: So where should we look? She could be anything...
Amarao: If there's one thing I know about Raharu it's that she's unpredictably predictable. She only knows one place in town that is "safe" and that's where we're going.
-The old blue voltswagon rides up to the Nandaba household. The two agents of The Bureau of Interstellar Immigration or BOII climb out their car and walk up to the front house of the house. Meanwhile inside, Naota is just waking up. He opens his eyes to see that he is in his room, in his bed. He quickly leaps out of bed, remembering what had lead to his sleep and searches around for someone, no one in particular just someone. Naota slowly makes his way down stairs and into his living room to see his father sitting down with a cup of coffee, seated next to Amarao and Kitsurubami. As soon as his brain calculates exactly what was going on, he leaps back into the hallway that led upstairs in an attempt to hide himself.
Amarao: Awww yes Naota! Please come here we'd like a word with you.
Naota bit his lip and slowly came out from hiding.-
Kamon: Naota these people would like to ask you some questions.
Naota: Why not ask my dad? He, after all, is the adult.
-Amarao puts down his cup and walked over to Naota-
Amarao: That's true, but I think you may know more about this than your father... How's life kiddo?
Naota: What?
Amarao: How are things going now'a days for you? You're in high school now right, one of the big boys. You've grown up, by yourself...with no help...
Naota: What's your point?
Amarao: If you did all that with no help then you don't need it now, do you?
Naota: Enough!! What the hell do you want?!
-Naota watches Amarao's eyes glare up at his forehead. He then looks back at Kamon, who has moved very close to an uncomfortable Kitsurubami. Amarao returns to Naota.-
Amarao: We're looking for...... some "coffee," Some special foreign coffee.
Naota: We don't have any... coffee...you drank it all.
Amarao: But I think you know where to get some more coffee, maybe some that just came in?
Naota: I don't like coffee... anymore. It's loud and annoying and...burns the roof of my mouth...
Amarao: Well then there's no problem just tell us where coffee is and we'll get her out of your... head.
-Naota feels his forehead and discovers that a bandage has been placed there.-
Naota: Coffee does what it wants, it's not like normal soda, sweet or sour, it's hot and bitter. If you want coffee you'll just have to find your own.
-By now Kamon is all over Kitsurubami, moving his fish lips closer and closer to her. She finally kicks him off and stands up.-
Kitsurubami: Sir!! May we PLEASE leave now!!
-Amarao stares at Naota for a moment and then he and Kitsurubami walk to the door. Naota stays where he is and keeps his eyes locked on Amarao. Kitsurubami walks out and Amarao follows after. He stops and looks back.-
Amarao: Kid...If you DO find coffee... tell me and I'll make sure coffee never hurts you again. Coffee is dangerous, it can burn you if your not careful...and it has before, remember. Don't forget what coffee really is.
-Amarao leaves and Naota hears a car drive away. He lets out a sigh of relief. Kamon gets up with a coffee cup on his head and coffee dripping off his head.-
Kamon: Geez, wonder what that was all about huh Naota? What, they don't like our coffee or something? I know it's the cheap brand, but man, she didn't have to kick me like that!
-Naota laughs a little and then heads for his room.-
Kamon: Ohh don't say up there too long Nao. Dinner's in an hour, we're having spicy food.
Naota: I don't want any, I'm not hunger...
Kamon: What?! But you love the spicy stuff now, I thought?
Naota: Well not anymore ok!!!
-Naota Snapped as he ran up stairs and crashed into his bed. He wrapped himself around his covers and just lay there.-
Haruko: They gone yet?
-Naota let out a wail and jumped off his bed to the floor. His covers came to life and rose up from the bed like a blanket possessed. The covers threw off and there sat Haruko, smiling down sinisterly on a freaked out Naota. Calm returned Naota slightly as he fell back on the floor.-
Naota: Don't do that!!!
Haruko: Hehehe! So are they here or gone?
Naota:... they're gone...for now...
Haruko: Awww Ta-kun you saved me from those mean old police people! Thank you sooo much Ta-kun, I think you deserve a reward...
-Haruko crawls over top of Naota and holds his wrist to the floor. Naota starts to struggle, but decides to save energy. He just turns his head and stare into space.-
Naota: Get off... what do you want here anyway? Just come back to ruin my life again?
Haruko: I came back to see what my big, strong man has become...... and to get my guitar back!
-Naota is outraged. The very nerve of her coming back here just for that damn guitar-
Naota: That's what you want!!! That's why you're here!!! Well fine!!! You can-.......I sold it!
-The two are silent for a few moments. Haruko rolls off Naota and stands up.-
Haruko: Fine Naota...I guess I'll stay a little longer, but only cuz you want me to!
Naota: Hmmmfff!!!
Haruko: Well then I better see what Kamon's mak'in for dinner. I'm sure you haven't had a decent meal in years, heheh.
-Naota crawls into his bed and pulls the covers over his head.-
Haruko: Come on Kanti!!!
-Suddenly the bed starts to shake and Kanti slowly climbs out. Haruko and Kanti walk out. Naota examines the place on the bed from where Kanti came out. It seemed impossible that such a large thing could come out from such a place, but after a moment or two Naota was uninterested and so he curls back up and goes to sleep.
Chapter 5: Back into the swing of things
Naota walks down stairs and into the living room to see Haruko watching TV while Kanti folds clothes near by. He slowly and quietly makes his towards the front door trying to sneak pass Haruko and get out of the house without her knowing.-
Haruko: Where ya going Ta-kun?
-His plan failed, Naota just walks to the door.-
Naota: If you must know I'm going to meet some friends.
Haurko: Friendsss?
Naota: Yes, we have a project for school due soon and we have to finish.-
-Haruko is silent. Naota steps out the door and begins to close it.-
Haruko: Bye Ta-kun see ya soon.
Naota: ...Bye...
-Naota closes the door and walks off into town. Later he, Ninamori, Gaku and Masashi met at the old plant grounds, chosen by Naota himself. As soon as Ninamori shows up it is obvious she is uncomfortable. The group goes over their plans for the project, talking and writing things down occasionally. Ninamori hardly speaks a word the whole time and after awhile she decides to walk around the grounds. After a few minutes Naota decides to join her leaving Gaku and Masashi to finish up. Naota runs up to Ninamori and starts to walk along side her in silence.-
Ninamori: So have you found what you've been looking for?
Naota: What?! What do you mean?
Ninamori: You go here a lot and now were here now.... Have you found whatever you were looking for?
Naota: I wasn't-... no...
Ninamori: Well then maybe your looking in the wrong place. Maybe what your looking for is closer to you than this old iron. Maybe you don't even need to look cuz It's right in front of you...
Naota: Ninamori...I-
-Naota's glance was caught by a mysterious figure standing a few yields away from Ninamori and he. Ninamori sees it as well and the two stop in their tracks. Ninamori grabs on to Naota and holds tight as the figure slow moves towards them.-
Naota: Hey! Who are you?!
-The figure stops and now can be seen to be a lizard-like robot. The machine seems damaged with cracks and depressions scattered over its body. After a few moments the creature charges like a rocket at Ninamori. Naota can see where the robot is headed and pushes Ninamori aside. The robot elbows Naota in the chest and he flies back a few feet and lands on the ground holding his chest. The robot twitches a few times and jolts of electricity shoot out from cracks in its frame. It turns its sights on Ninamori once more and prepares to charge again. Naota can see what is about to happen and struggles to his feet. He races towards the robot to intercept its action, but by the time he makes it to the robot it has already sped away. Ninamori backs away from the lizard-bot as fast as she can, but trips over a rock and falls to the ground. The machine stops just before Ninamori's foot and stares down on its victim. Ninamori closes her eyes tight waiting for the final blow, when she hears an odd sound approaching her. The sound, like that of a rocket or missile, becomes ever louder as it comes closer and closer to its target. Ninamori opens her eyes to see a huge energy blast heading towards her robot captor. The machine stares at the blast as it approaches and quickly ducks to avoid the beam. The bright energy flies off into town and slams into a small building totally destroying it. Ninamori looks off for the origin of the blast and sees Kitsurubami and Amarao out in the distance holding a huge smoking cannon like device.-
Amarao: DAMN IT!!! I told you to hold that thing straight Kitsurubami!!!
Kitsurubami: I'm sorry sir, but I've never done anything like this before!!
-Back on the battle field the lizard-bot is suddenly bashed in the back of the head by a guitar sending it crashing into the earth. Haruko helps Ninamori to her feet and then races after the robot.-
Haruko: HEY!! I thought I got rid of you!!!
-Haruko smashes her guitar into the robot's chest and it flies into the sky. The robot curls into a ball and starts to spin up higher. It then reverses it's rotation and hurdles towards Haruko. Haruko dives out of the robots path and it drills into the ground forming a large hole. The robot then leaps out of the hold and raises it's right arm towards Haruko. Haruko flies at her opponent with fury in her eyes. She hovers over the robot and prepares to bring her guitar down on its head when she is repealed by an intense force being emitted from the robots hand. She lands on her feet, legs spread as she slides back across the earth. The robot gives chase and leaps on Haruko wrapping it's tail around her waist and flings her across the field. Haruko lands on her side and rolls further down the field eventually landing on her back. The mechanical reptile crashed down on top of Haruko with one of its wide, metallic feet on ether side of her. It raises its large prehensile tail in the air over Haruko's head and pulls it back in a striking position. Haruko grabs a hold of her guitar and swings it towards the tail, but her attack it blocked by the robots massive left arm and the guitar is knocked across the field. The robot then grabs Haruko around the neck and lefts her into the air. She struggles frantically to get free, kicking and pulling at the robot to release her, but to no prevail. It seems that Haruko's fate is sealed when suddenly Naota appears behind the robot. He lays a hand on the robot's shoulder and increasingly tights his grip.-
Naota: Let...go...of...HER!!!
-Naota is squeezing the robot's shoulder with such force that the metal that makes it up is beginning to crack. Suddenly Kanti falls from the sky behind Naota. In one quick movement Kanti whips out Its tongue, engulfs Naota into itself and throws the lizard-bot behind it. Haruko kneels on the ground gasping for air.-
Haruko: Ack, Ackk!! You still got it Ta-kun! Ack, ack!!!
-The newly fused Kanti and Naota fly at the lizard-bot leaving a bright red streak through the air. The robot stands up preparing for Kanti's arrival. The lizard-bot then launches it's tail between it's legs at Kanti. Kanti lands and dodges the attack, grabs the tail and attempts to pull the lizard- bot closer to itself. The robot grabs its own tail and pulls back. Haruko watches the struggle between the two bots and can't help but laugh at the back and forth motion of the tail being pulled between the lizard's legs. She then runs up to the middle of lizard-bot's tail and raises her guitar over it.-
Haruko: Heh! Don't you know you'll go blind if you keep do'in that! HA!!
-She then brings down her guitar on the tail splitting it in half. The Robot retracts the rest of its tail and raises it's hand toward Haruko and Kanti, blasting them back across the field. Kanti stops both Haruko and himself in midair. After putting Haruko safely on the ground, Kanti leaps into the sky and brings the end of the lizard's tail down on its former owner. The robot brings both of its arms over its head and blocks the tail. Kanti then releases the tail and flips back kicking the lizard-bot into the sky. The robot rockets into the atmosphere for a while, but eventually rights itself and begins to return to earth in an attack position, aimed at Kanti. Kanti waits for the lizard-bot to get in just the right range and then transforms into it's "gun mode." It fires a large crimson sphere at the enemy bot, which smashes straight through the robot's body. The lizard- bot then explodes spilling fragments of metal, wire and glass across the field like confetti. The red sphere returns to Kanti and it's reverts back to it's robot form. A few seconds later Naota falls out of Kanti. Haruko walks up to Naota.-
Haruko: Good work Ta-kun, but next time keep your little friends out of the battlefield.
Naota:...Nina....NINAMORI!!! Where is she?!!!
-Naota leaps to his feet and searches around for Ninamori.-
Ninamori: I'm right here Naota!!
-Naota runs to Ninamori and a claming relief flows over him.-
Naota: Your ok....
Ninamori: Yeah...Thanks to you...
-The two were silent just staring into each other's eyes, while Haruko watches a blue voltswagon drive into the distance.
Chapter 6: Now we've got a full set
Naota gets up and starts for the stairs. It's been a long day and Naota's head still hurts from earlier. Just then Haruko walks into the living room all dressed up for riding.-
Naota: Where are you going?
Haruko: Why? You worried about me Ta-kun?
-Naota storms out the room-
Haruko:...Bye, bye Ta-kun....... I might not see ya for a while.... be a good boy, kay?
-Naota stops-
Naota: Why not...
-Haruko walks out the door without hearing Naota. A few minutes later Naota hears a knock on the door from his room. The knocking persists and no one else seems as if they're going to get it so Naota reluctantly goes down stairs. He opens the door.-
Naota: What's wrong? Lost your key Haru-
-Naota can hardly believe his eyes. Expecting to see Haruko, Naota's eyes now lie on none other than Mamimi and Tasuku.
Tasuku: Hey Nao......can we come in?
