Chapter 1: Just a typical day in the neighborhood?
A-ko awoke with a start. She was going to be late, again. And of
course, C-ko was yelling at her bedroom window, telling her that it was
time for school. As if she didn't already know that. A-ko quickly got
herself dressed and rushed out of the house. Grabbing C-ko by the arm,
she pushed herself toward the school.
"Ohayo, C-ko!" she yelled over her shoulder to the short, airborne,
blond-haired girl, she was toting.
"Ohayo, A-ko!" C-ko said back in her usual cheerful mood. "You
know. We could avoid all this if you'd just get up on time for once!"
"I know! Gomen..." A-ko retorted, flustered. A-ko gave a quick
glance over her shoulder. In the distance, A-ko could make out a fairly
large dust cloud that was not her own and was gaining on them. _What the
hell is that?_ A-ko wondered. C-ko followed A-ko's gaze and apparently
noticed it as well. Within the cloud, A-ko caught a flash of color.
Purple. _Purple?_ A-ko thought. _Naw, it couldn't be... She usually
waits until we get to the school. Oh well, not unlike B-ko to try and
throw me off._
The dust cloud grew closer. A-ko faced front again. She was determined to outrun B-ko. She then pushed herself, full throttle toward
the school. The pavement ripped behind her in a fury. A-ko allowed
herself a smile. _At this rate, I might even make on time!_ she thought.
She decided to see how far back she had left her peruser. As she turned
her head, a blinding flash of dust, debris, pavement and purple flew by,
sending A-ko out of control. She lost her grip on C-ko, sending the young
girl into the air. C-ko screamed in panic. A-ko, still trying to regain
control, ran (or more over, flew) straight into a wall, turning it and the
house it was attached to, into a pile of concrete and wood.
A-ko sat up, putting her hand behind her head. "*ITE!!*" she screamed. She regained her bearings when she noticed that C-ko nowhere to
be found. That was until her hearing came back.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! A-KO!! GET MEDOWN!!!"
she heard C-ko scream. A-ko looked up and saw her clinging to a branch
for dear life, legs flailing all about. A-ko jumped into the tree,
grabbed a hold of her friend and then jumped back down.
"Are you all right?" A-ko asked with genuine concern.
"Ye-yeah..." C-ko sniffled. "What *was* that?"
"I don't know, the last thing I remember was a flash of dust and
color and then the wall."
"What wall?" C-ko asked, looking around. A-ko pointed to a large
pile of garbage. "Oh..." The school's last warning bell sounded. A-ko
and C-ko gasped. A-ko grabbed a hold of her friend's arm and bolted
toward the school.

D sat in a tree, over looking the suburbs of Graviton City's East
Side.--Check She lifted her macrobinoculars to her eyes and scanned the
area for her Princess. At last, she spotted the dust cloud of the day.
She knew that it was her Princess and her Earthling friend. _Princess, I
pledge my life to protecting you. I will make sure that nothing ever
happens to you,_ she thought.
She lifted her binoculars again. She could now visibly make out
C-ko and her friend. D noticed that they were looking at something that
was behind them. D looked beyond the two of them. Another dust cloud was
closing on them, and then zipped past them. Her Princess was sent into
the air. D was outraged. Who would dare do such a thing to the Fourth
Princess of the Fifth Queen of the Lepton Kingdom of Alpha Cygni?
She soon got her answer. The second dust cloud soared by her as well,
uprooting the tree she was sitting in.
D fell to the ground with a loud thud, and with a louder crash,
the tree fell on top of her. Soon followed by her and the tree being sent
back into the air.
"SOOOOOORRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" A-ko and C-ko yelled as they
continued on their way.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" D screamed as she sailed through
the air.

B-ko was standing outside of the school's gate, as usual. She had a
smug look about her, as usual. And she had a mecha with her for which to
attempt to squash A-ko flat, as usual.
_Oh yes, A-ko! Today will be your last. C-ko will be mine and
*we'll* live happily ever after. C-ko deserves someone who would cater to
her every whim, someone who would protect her when all is evil, someone to
take her to school on time!_ B-ko thought, glowering at her watch.
_Honestly, that bitch can't even show up on time to fight me._
As if one cue, a dust cloud emerged on the horizon. She was ready.
She looked up to her gleaming mecha and allowed herself a smile. The mecha
was bright red. Standing eight feet tall, it was the epitome of ugliness.
It was very awkward looking for a mecha and looked as if it could barely
move. Bulges were all over its massive body, but contained within each
bulge was a weapon of some sort, enough armaments to incinerate even the
most powerful of superheros! It was the Hashimitsu, the destroyer
of the Scarlet-haired witch, entraper of young, innocent girls.
B-ko (glaring at author): That's *my* line!
Greg (gesturing for her to calm down and sweating profusely): Gomen...
B-ko looked down from her mecha and then glared at the oncoming dust
cloud. She caught a glimpse of color. _Purple?_ B-ko thought. _Oh well,
not unlike A-ko to try and throw me off._ B-ko smiled to herself. Oh, how
well she could see through any ploy that A-ko tried to pull on her. She
dropped her arms from her chest and then struck a dramatic pose, pointing
straight at the approaching dust cloud.
"A-ko! Today you die!" she cried. The dust cloud did not stop. It
continued, full throttle, straight at B-ko, her mecha and the school behind
them. B-ko gestured for her mecha to strike. It moved its bulkiness
sluggishly into the dust cloud's path. With a blast of wind, and a flash of
color and debris, the mecha fell over onto its back. The force of wind had
also knocked B-ko over. She regained her footing and looked toward where
the trail of dust and debris had stopped. As the dust began to settle, she
could make out the figure of a young girl standing near the front doors to
the school. The young girl was alone.
B-ko painfully remembered what happens when her mechas were knocked
over. Her face faltering, she slowly turned to the mecha that was now
giving off a rather high-pitched whine. Within seconds, it blew up. The
force of the explosion sent parts all over and B-ko into a nearby tree,
knocking her unconscious.
A-ko and C-ko arrived just seconds later. They stared in wide eyed
amazement (or is that amusement), at the sight of the smoldering remains of
the mecha and the unconscious B-ko, slumped against a tree. The final bell
rang and A-ko and C-ko dashed into the school.
---------------
"HONESTLY!" Miss Ayumi yelled. "You'd think that you could save
your fighting until *after* class so that you wouldn't be late!" She then
turned to A-ko. "Not that it would help *you* out any, Miss Magami." A-ko
hung her head down and blushed. "After lunch, all three of you are to stand
out in the hallway!"
"But..." B-ko began.
"But nothing, Miss Daitokuji!" Miss Ayumi turned away and stormed
back to the front of the class.
"This is all your fault, you know," B-ko muttered, glaring at A-ko.
"How is it *my* fault?"
"Because, if you'd get your fat ass out of bed in the morning, and
get here to school on time, we'd be able to finish our fighting before class
even starts."
"Well, maybe if 'Miss Rich-Bitch' would stop trying to accomplish
the impossible..."
"What's *that* supposed to mean?"
"Only that C-ko would *never* want to be friends with such an ill-
breed, cunt like you."
"HOW DARE YOU!!" B-ko shrieked, standing up, ready to rip A-ko's
throat out, but was interrupted by a piece of chalk striking her in the side
of the head. Shocked, B-ko could only stare at the broken chalk that had
landed on her desk.
"B-KO! SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!" Miss Ayumi scolded. "After class,
you are to stay after and clean the classroom, is that understood?"
"Nani?" B-ko cried. Appalled that Miss Ayumi would even consider
making her stay after and clean the classroom. A-ko was trying to stifle
her laughter.
"You heard me."
"Hai..." With that, B-ko sat down and continued to glare at A-ko,
who was still trying to keep from laughing.
"Alright, if there are to be no more interruptions..." Miss Ayumi
started, glaring at her most troublesome students. "...We have a new
student joining us today. She's just moved in from Nerima." Miss Ayumi
walked over to the classroom's door and gestured for someone to enter. A
young purple-haired girl, trotted in. She was wearing a typical fuku,
similar in design to the one A-ko had once worn, except for the color
variations (the bow in front was yellow). Standing before the class, she
turned and bowed. Her long purple hair flowed over her shoulders, it was
slightly spiked in back, and hung down past her waist, a small yellow bow
had tied together the ends of her hair.
"Konnichiwa, I'm Atsuko Natsume. But you can call me Nuku Nuku.
I'm really happy to be here," she said, happily. Nuku Nuku smiled, a single
eye tooth hung down from her mouth like a fang.

Phase: ?? / Project: Cat-girl
Miss Ayumi looked around the classroom for an empty seat. "Hmm..."
she said. "It appears that we're all out of seats."
"Sensei," B-ko said, standing up. "If A-ko were to be standing out
in the hall, where she belongs, then she may be allowed to take her seat
until you get a new one for her."
"Excellent idea, B-ko...SO GO STAND OUT IN THE HALL!!" she yelled,
looking directly at B-ko, pointing at the door.
"But..." B-ko began, Miss Ayumi only glared angrily at her. B-ko
sighed and left the room. Miss Ayumi smiled and then turned to Nuku Nuku.
"You may take Miss Daitokuji's seat temporarily, dear."
"Hai!" she said, cheerfully. She then trotted down the aisle and
took the now empty seat. _I'm glad I came!_ she thought to herself. _Papa-
san will be so happy that Nuku Nuku will do her best to fit in at this new
school._ Miss Ayumi turned to the chalk board and began her lecture for the
day.
A-ko glanced at Nuku Nuku for a moment. She was not sure, but she
could have sworn she had seen her before. Recently, too. It was something
about her. Was it her demeanor? No, she seemed to act a little like C-ko,
and that she would have remembered. Was it her face? A-ko could never
forget a face...(guffaw). Maybe her hair, it was certainly the deepest
shade of purple she had ever seen... _Purple?_ she thought.
Outside the classroom, B-ko stood with her arms crossed, pondering
what she should do next. _A-ko, you little twat. I'm going to rip your
throat out. How dare you embarrass me that way. Even Miss Ayumi has turned
against me. The nerve of her...making me stand out in the hallway...all
day, too. To top it off, she's making me stay after to clean the
classroom...*snort*...like *that's* going to happen. Maybe I should...no, I
would never hurt Miss Ayumi intentionally. Well, at least I'll be able to
taunt A-ko when she's out here after lunch._ B-ko let out an almost
inaudible giggle.
A-ko awoke with a start. She was going to be late, again. And of

pile of garbage. "Oh..." The school's last warning bell sounded. A-ko
and C-ko gasped. A-ko grabbed a hold of her friend's arm and bolted
toward the school.
