Slowly, he was getting there. Slowly, one foot in front of the other, then again, and again. It would be so much easier if he could fly, but he didn't enough energy to.
He remembered this place, remembered the streets. He made it to the corner and turned left.
The humans were out, enjoying what was left of the nice day, but they seemed shocked to see him walk by. He didn't blame them. The run-in he'd had with his enemies hadn't helped…
If only he could teleport. He could get there so much sooner. But he didn't have the energy. He put away his wishful thinking and kept walking.
He was even closer now. There it was; the pink building they called the Café Mew Mew. Headquarters of Tokyo Mew Mew. He was almost there…
He walked under the arch, and down the sidewalk that led to the front door, and pushed it open. Then he walked inside.
"Thanks for all the hard work today, girls." Keiichiro smiled at the girls.
"Don't thank us; this is what we get paid to do." Mint replied glibly and she finished wiping down one of the tables.
It was the end of another long day of work at the Café, and the girls were cleaning up the café to get it ready for the next day's customers.
"There's the day's receipts," Zakuro said as she handed a small metal box to Ryou.
There was the sound of something breaking in the kitchen, and then Pudding popped out the door. "Pudding has washed the dishes!" She announced.
"And I have the floor swept." Lettuce said, still holding the broom.
"Then I think we have everything taken care of." Ichigo said as she looked around the room, giving it one last look. "Now we can change back into our normal clothes and go home!"
Just then the door opened, and a look of shock crossed the face of everyone in the room.
Kisshu stumbled into the room, putting a hand on a table to keep himself from falling over. "Ichigo…" The word came out as a moan.
Ichigo, who had taken out her Power Pendant as the rest of the girls had when Kish arrived, clutched it tighter in her hand, prepared to transform if necessary.
But it didn't seem to be. Kisshu had staggered in, and from first appearance, he was a beaten, bloody mess.
"I came to warn you," He rasped. "They're coming to Earth...You have to stop them…have to stop them…before…before they destroy this planet…" His voice trailed off, and the green haired alien collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
For a moment, no one did anything. They simply stared in shock at the alien now lying on the floor.
Then Keiichiro walked forward, knelt down and checked the alien's breathing.
"Are we going to help him?" Mint asked.
"Well that's a stupid question." Ryou told her. "At the very least, we have to figure out what he's talking about."
Onboard a spaceship, two creatures were talking. Being as the room they were in was completely dark, only silhouettes were visible. Out the windows, the stars shone into the room, letting in the only light.
"I'm sorry my master, the Cyniclon was able to escape." The first creature, who was kneeling in front of the chair the other one was sitting in, said.
The one referred to as master asked, "So what you are telling me, Kaibutsu, is that you have failed."
Kaibutsu's head sank even lower. "Yes master."
"Never mind that. Soon we will arrive on Earth. I presume that is where the Cyniclon went?"
"When we were last able to track him that was where he was headed." Kaibutsu confirmed.
"Very well. We'll just pick him up when we get there." The 'Master' said. "I must say, stopping at Cyniclo was a waste of time, although it was where we picked up the lead to Earth. Be prepared to attack when we reach the planet." He ordered. "Earth will be ours."
"Yes, Master." Kaibutsu said, then hurried out of the room.
"Soon, the planet will fall to the power of the Baku!"
In one of the back rooms of the Café Mew Mew, Keiichiro was running a scan on Kisshu, who was still unconscious.
"You have a medical area back here too?" Lettuce asked.
"Yep." Ryou replied.
"Wow." Ichigo remarked sarcastically. "All this place is missing is an elevator."
"What makes you think we don't have one?" Ryou asked.
Ichigo gave him an open-mouthed stare, but before she could say anything, Zakuro interrupted.
"Have you learned anything yet, Keiichiro?" She asked.
"Not yet." Keiichiro replied as he typed away at the computer. "He had nasty run in with something, though."
"Do you think it could be the thing he was trying to warn us about?" Mint asked.
"It could be." Keiichiro told her. "But we don't know what he was trying to warn us about."
"They're called the Baku."
The weary voice from the bed garnered everyone's attention, and now everyone was looking at Kisshu.
"They're called the Baku, and they want to take over Earth…"
"Why do they want to take over Earth?" Ryou quickly asked.
There was no answer.
"Kisshu!" Ryou grabbed the alien by the shoulders; only to find that he had already sank away, back into unconsciousness.
"The Baku?" Mint repeated.
"I don't know." Ryou told her. "You girls should go home; Keiichiro and I will research this and hopefully know more tomorrow."
Back in the computer room behind the main room of the café, Keiichiro sat at the main counsel. The room was dark except for the light from the computer screens, and the only sound was the sound of typing as Keiichiro worked.
The door opened, and Ryou entered. "Have you found anything?" He asked.
"I'm preparing to scan…" Keiichiro typed in a command and hit the enter key. "Now. This scan should tell us if there's anything out in space that we need be aware of." He finished, then asked, "How's Kisshu?"
"Still out cold." Ryou replied indifferently as he sat down in the other chair.
Before Keiichiro could reply, the computer beeped. "My word…" His voice trailed off as he saw what was on the screen.
Ryou straightened up and peered at the computer screen. Visible on the radar screen was a huge spaceship, slowly approaching Earth.
Keiichiro typed a few more commands into the computer, the gave Ryou a worried look. "That thing is full of alien invaders, and it's heading towards Earth."
Staring at the screen, Ryou muttered, "We're gonna need some help for this one."
T.A.R.N.S.: So many things to mention! This is the conglomeration of several ideas I've had for a Tokyo Mew Mew story, and now I get to start it. Eventually, there will be images that match this story and they'll all be posted on my blog, soon as I can get 'em there. Some of em are actually done now, and waiting to go. I did use the 4kids dub name for the aliens, unfortunatly, but I really can't just call them 'the aliens' for the entire fic. And Kaibutsu is supposed to mean 'monster.'
Nyoshi: Anyways...
T.A.R.N.S.: Let's see if I can pull myself out of my slump with everything else. Still, please review and let us know what you thought, and we'll see you next time!
