New and the old 1

A alarm goes off blaring a incessant buzzing noise. "Uh, time to get up already" he scratches his head ruffling his hair around. "I hate school, maybe I'll call in sick, its not like my dad will be around to tell them differently" he whispers adding "not like he cared in the first place". A voice comes outside the house "Noata! Get up! Your going to school!" He rolls his eyes and looks out the window "Fine! I'm going! Ninamori your such a pain in the ass!" He looks at the base guitar still on its stand "Its been five years now, ugh! I hate her, I hate her!"thinking to himself. He gets dressed in his uniform "first day of high school, hope the teach doesn't give me crap like my others did"

A lot had happened after Haruko aka Haruruha Haruko left in search of the pirate kings power which was released Noata in the hopes that she would return his love instead of her lust for power. She left leaving the town in shambles but leaving him as a hero which never made sense to Noato in the first place. Slowly everything returned to normal but one thing was missing, Mamimi had left. Noata kinda enjoyed that but would never admit that a part of him missed her. Luckily the mayors daughter Ninamori was there to pick up the pieces where she left off. He actually liked her, plus she didn't hit on him right and left, well maybe he could just stand her is the way he should put it.

He looked around the abandoned bread shop only seeing Canti who sat there reading a book. Canti was the only family he had left after his dad had to leave the country for the lawsuits against him including the mayor suing him for the story written in earlier years. Noata's grandpa finally passed away after being so stubborn making it look like he would never die, no one showed for the funeral accept Noata and Canti. Noata chuckled a bit "To think the closest thing to family in any sense is a robot, says a lot about me doesn't it?" He picked up his bag which was covered in flower since he had to support himself now with the family bakery his dad left behind.

Noata looked around one last time before leaving "Thanks dad, you were always such a great parent" he said sarcastically. He stepped outside of the shop "Looking awake as always aren't you Noata?" He looked at her with his tired look and scowl "You never used to be so happy and peppy Ninamori, what happened to the self centered bitch who I used to love?" She rolled her eyes "Not everyone can stay a ass like you for so long Noata, I swear the only thing about you that has changed is your height." He looked away in his old fashion kid like way "why do you even bother?" Ninamori shrugged and laughed hugging him still skinny and the same height, for time had only changed her face making it more curved and round like most women.

He rolled his eyes blushing a bit "Lets just get to school already." They slowly headed to school

Ninamori giggled behind his back thinking to herself "same old Noata as always". She had opened up to him a lot since he lost his family, within those years she found the little things that mad him tick. Ninamori remembered how sad he was when Haruko first left, it was his first crush and he took it surprisingly well, on the outside at least. She also learned that he liked to read even though all he looked like he would read was comics, but she knew better.

She watched him become the person that he was allowing her to open up and be the real her. It was like in a the way haruko had hurt him to help both of them. Ninamori continued following Noata with his one track mind of getting to school to get Ninamori off of his back. He pretty much followed the routine everyday until high school. He always wondered why Ninamori did this to him, he sighed and talked to himself "maybe its out of pity,wouldn't surprise me". They finally got to school and went the separate ways. This year he was by himself since the guys couldn't get into the school he and Ninamori got into, he laughed to himself "idiots". He got into homeroom and looked around "not a lot of people in here, this should be good."

He let the day pass like any other with daydreaming and answering dumb questions whenever the time arouse. He stared outside and heard a familiar noise and whispered "It can't be" His eyes widened as he saw they sight in the front gate. A vespa stood by itself in front of it except it wasn't yellow. He whispered "A blue vespa" he looked back at the class to see if anyone else was looking and then looked back and it was gone. He rubbed his eyes and said to himself that he was tired and relaxed into another daydream. School ended and Ninamori followed Noata home just like she always did after Mamimi left him all alone. The one thing that Noata accepted for once in his life after haruko left was Ninamori's help.

He silently walked home as in most occasions, his friends left the area after all the chaos of those days when he was a kid, but for some reason it was bothering him today. Noata looked back at Ninamori "Don't you ever get tired of following me home?" She smiled still with a sly look on her face "Not at all, gotta keep the degenerates out of trouble and with all the trouble you've caused your top priority." He rolled his eyes "Its over now, even the portal in my head is gone, anyway I've been training with the my guitar now."

She jumped in front of him surprised "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" stopping him right in his tracks. Face neutral and nodded not saying a thing. She slumped a little "Is that why you never wake up for school on time?" He shrugged (usual Noata) and continued walking not saying a thing but Ninamori tried to press the issue. "But why now its been five years now, everything has changed and your still stuck in the past." He looked back over his shoulder "Then why are you following me? Don't you care that people will think that we're going out?" Ninamori shook her head "stop trying to change the subject, why are you doing this?"

Looked back at her and yelled "BECAUSE IT'S ALL I GOT! IT'S ALL I KNOW HOW TO KEEP MYSELF TOGETHER!" He relaxed and she looked at him shocked and whisper trying not to cry "you have me, you have me and all the things we have all the things we've been through". He retorted slowly and calmly something he learned from mamimi "I'm tired of being pushed around, first it was haruko and baseball then you and the play. Even canti took over after my dad left." A tear rolled down her cheek "you were never being pushed around, you learned baseball from haruko but you chose to swing the bat and save the town. You even beat haruko and medical machina at the same time saving the world. Any other kid in the situation would have freaked at the thought of it. You stood strong and proved that you are the strongest of us all."

He looked at her eyes finally dry "I gotta head home, or canti will worry". She continued to follow him, "Please, just talk to me Noata, at least meet me half way" He sighed and stopped "what do you want?" Ninamori let a corner smile and forced her voice out "Can I watch you train?" He sighed and turned around "I normally would deny you but I guess I could give you that." Ninamori giggled and hugged Naota's arm while Noata just walked and tried to hide his blushing face. Ninamori looked at Noata's face and saw a red mark on his forehead shaping. She blinked quickly and it was gone. Noata looked at her "is something wrong?" She shook her head and let out a fake smile "Its nothing, I wanna see how you train, nows get to your house soon"

As they walked Noata looked at Ninamori "is there any reason you are still holding on to me?" She smiled "I just want to see that smirk you always used to get when Mamimi held on to you". He rolled his eyes "Sure, hopefully you'll never go as far as Mamimi tried to with me." Ninamori gasped and jumped back "what?! All I saw was her holding on to you and groping you. I knew she was a child molesting pervert." He laughed "Gotcha" pretending that he wasn't serious about what he said. Ninamori growled at him "thats not funny"Noata looked to the side just like and he was a kid "fine I won't joke with you anymore" Ninamori tugged at he sleeve "NO! Just don't joke about that"

He sighed "fine lets getting going." Noata shoves his hands in his pockets and continues walking. Ninamori followed him once again Noata rolling his eyes thinking to himself "its like she's a completely different person then the one I used to know." He thought about the way she acted before everything happened, how she only talked to him if it was about classroom duties. He whispered to himself "damn haruko, if it weren't for her I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now." They finally get to his house, Canti is out sweeping, Noata sighs at the sight "get inside the house." Ninamori chuckles behind him "same old Noata, the whole town has seen Canti and you still think he makes a sight doing the smallest things."

They walk up to his room which is a total mess. Ninamori sets her bag on the bed "you still have the bunk bed? When are you going to get a real bed" Noata rolls his eyes not even looking at her "I don't have the money for it." Ninamori's voice becomes serious "get over it, your brother left you and he's not coming back." He turns around with a serious look on his face but slumps "i seriously don't have the money." She sighs "I'll lend you the money then." Noata shakes his head "No, I'll get it myself." Ninamori gave up, there was no use arguing with him when he had his mind set on something.

He reached out and was about the grab the guitar from his closet when he looked up at Ninamori who was staring at him with wide eyes. He raised a eyebrow "what's wrong?" She pointed at his forehead in shock "your forehead, the mark of atomsk." He slowly raised his hand to his forehead, Aaaaaah!, canti looks up at he hears the scream from upstairs. Canti moved as fast as he did in the days of atomsk with Noata. He stands in the doorway as Noata screams. A glow fills the room as a hand grabs Noata's from his forehead.

Slowly a red form falls out Noata's forehead and appears on the floor. Slowly it shapes into a bulky figure with the same shape as Noata but with a broader chest. Ninamori whispers slowly "A man?"as the red form turns into a figure with dirty blond hair, a black vest and white shirt, jeans with a chain wallet, converse shoes, and the infamous goggles known only to have worn by Haruko. The man slowly looks around and pulls off his goggles "that took forever" a smile creeps over his face as he looks at Noata. He crouches down "So this was the soul connection to Atomsk, a little bit older then I was told but who is to judge".

Noata backs up towards Canti "Canti I think its time to sink up like old times". The figure laughs "You lost that ability, I know you have." Noata gives a serious stare "Then I guess I'll just have to stick to the new method." Noata grabs his flying V guitar and swings at the figure who pulls out his own guitar similar to haruko's except black (also a regular guitar) and blocks Noata's guitar. Ninamori gapes at the sight as Noata holds his own in his room fighting this stranger.

Noata swings his guitar and sends the intruder out his window still creating a aftershock blowing the wall down. He quickly looks at Ninamori the jumps out to continue his onslaught. He jumps and lands 100 yards from his house where the intruder was supposed to land then out of nowhere WHAM! Noata flies back a little but holds his guitar steady in hand. Noata jumps and creates a cross slash which is dodged by the man and in return sends a fierce uppercut with his guitar sending Noata back to his room landing near Ninamori who is in terror on his bed. As the dust clears the man stands over Noata guitar in hand over Noata. "I'm not here to fight but to protect you, but from the looks of it, it doesn't look like you need me."

Noata looks up gritting his teeth "what do you mean to protect me? From what?" The man removes the goggles from his eyes again "The person who left that blue base guitar behind for you, looks you made a altar for it" the man says jokingly. Noata's eyes go wide and looks at Ninamori then back at the man "Haruruha Haruko." The figure smiles and nods "Thats right" Ninamori regains her composure and interjects quickly before Noata's thoughts could race anymore "How can we believe what you say, whats your relation to her?" He laughs and turns around scratching the back of his head "In all honesty, I haven't had a relationship with her in about 10 years." Noata brushes the dust off his clothes "and what kind of relationship was that?" He turns around and smiles "She's my sister."

Noata shakes his head "No way, theres no possible way." He looks at Ninamori with Disbelief "He's definitely telling us a lie." Ninamori studies the man intently to see if he's telling the truth. The man laughs "If you don't believe me call up your friend from medical mechanica, he'll tell you I'm telling you the truth." They both look at each other but stay alert "How would he know that?" says Noata who clenches his guitar ready to strike. The guy continues to grin "Cause she was with me in the space police when we worked on the atomsk case fronted by medical mechanica." Noata relaxes a bit "So what are you here to protect me from?"

The guy grows serious for a second "From medical mechanica and....my sister," Noata clenches his guitar again "Why from your sister? I've dealt with her before." The man continues his explanation as Noata gains his footing and sits on the bed next to Ninamori who is trying to keep up. "She wanted atomsk power so she could become the pirate king". Noata interrupts him "but I sent atomsk power away that day five years ago." The guy shakes his head "You only dismissed his form so it could go into a larval state, now you can activate the power without canti due to that release. For the truth is you don't open the gate to atomsk... you are atomsk." Noata's eyes widen at explanation unable to speak for a few seconds before stating "How can that be, I'm nothing but a kid. I didn't even have any relation with atomsk till Haruko came along?"

He nods "It would seem so but the truth is that she thought she found the portal when she found the person. He landed on this planet 16 years ago and found a soulless vessel to shape and grow again. That vessel was you." Noata slams his guitar on the floor "SO I'M NOT EVEN ME!? I'M SOME PIRATE KING?!" The man shakes his head "No, you are yourself and the pirate king in one. All the power with a new slate. You just got the luck of being the next king." Noata tries to breath for a second (something he learned after all the stress from the past) "So what do I do?" The guy cleans Noata's chair and sits in it "Well thats up to you? You can do whatever you want with the power. You still have two years till it finally matures and becomes whole again.

You can follow your predecessor or live in this small town if you want to? But know this, that other pirates will come looking for the power including my sister" Noata looks down meanwhile Ninamori has worry in her eyes "I want to stay here." The guy drops his arms "but you'll never live up to your full potential then." Noata looks up at him and smiles which is so rare Ninamori drops her jaw. Still smiling Noata speaks "So what if I don't? I'm not going to end up like the rest of my family and leave everything behind." The guy tries to interrupt but Noata continues "Even so, I have proven myself before that I can swing the bat and bring in that final run." The guy smiles "I like that, it looks like I'm staying here then."

Noata raises up a eyebrow "why?" The guy gets close into Noata's face "Cause I am your new teacher." He then stands back and extends his had out "By the way, the names Kazaki Haruko, call me Zaki" Noata looks at his hand skeptically "yeah like I need your help." he scoffs and looks at Ninamori who is still serious about the situation stares back at him with eyes that tell him everything without her saying a word. He looks back at Zaki and then back at her saying to her "Are you serious? You see I can handle myself without anyone else helping me." Zaki looks curiously at the two but stands there intently.

Ninamori answers Noata "I see that but you also lost too, stop being the same Noata that I have known my whole life and accept his offer." Noata yells back at her "SO HE CAN BETRAY ME AND LEAVE ME FOR DEAD!" Ninamori screams back at him finally showing a sign of her that he hasn't seen ever "LIKE I DON'T KNOW THAT! EVEN IF THAT DOES HAPPEN YOU'LL HAVE ME!" Noata's eyes go wide and he finally relaxes and looks back at Zaki who still stands there smiling. Noata reaches out his hand and in a instant Zaki grabs his and shakes his hand hard. Zaki slowly stops and lets go of Noata's hand then puts his goggles back on "Training starts at 5 pm tomorrow". Noata raises a eyebrow looking at him "why so late in the day?" Zaki smiles and looks at the hole in the wall where the window was "Well you got school tomorrow and I'm not going to be responsible for you missing it. Also I will be making sure that you will be going to school or else." Zaki then looks at the window and swings his guitar over his shoulder still smiling.

Ninamori smiles and adds "I second that motion, you hear that Noata, your going to school." Noata scoffs and sighs "Fine, I'll go to school, just get off my back." Ninamori and Zaki both smile while Noata stews in his own frustration about the situation. Zaki continues to look out the hole in the wall where the window was "well I'll leave the couple to their date, oh and sorry about the hole in the wall" He jumps out and disappears before they can say a word, both sit there blushing looking down saying nothing. Noata gets up trying to break the moment by putting away the guitar "I don't think I need to train today after what happened." Ninamori relaxes and agrees nodding her head adding "Yeah, but at least let me ask you some questions about it now."

He sighs "why should I tell you this?" sitting back in his chair. Ninamori smiles playfully knowing that yelling at him only works when it comes to school. She sits on his lap and traces her finger up up jaw "Cause maybe I'll reward you with a little surprise." He blushes and turns his face from her "Quit it, it doesn't suit you to do that." She smiles knowing that she has him in the palm of her hand right now but continues to play with him "Oh doesn't it? Maybe I'll be better then Mamimi". She puts a palm on his chest and leans closer to him breathing gently. Noata tries to resist but for some reason he can't just as he couldn't resist Mamimi "please...Ninamori" She whispers in his ear"please what? Please kiss me? Maybe I will" smiling she leans in and BAM! Canti comes back in the room in his costume made for him by Mamimi.

Both jump at the sign of him then begin laughing at Canti's confusion. Both faces red and belting out laughter laying on the floor barely able to breath. They clench their sides from the pain from the continuous laughter. Slowly Canti backs out of the room with a question mark on his screen and scratching his monitor. Unbeknown to the friends laughing their heads off a new mission and a new lesson will follow this moment of peace.

The end of chapter 1

Rough Times at HAND

The alarm goes off buzzing waking up Noata from his slumber. He slams his hand on the alarm and tries to go back to bed. A few minutes go by and Noata is surprised not to her Ninamori's yelling when all of a sudden a blow to the stomach wakes him up. "WHAT THE HELL!" Noata opens his eyes to see Ninamori is sitting on his stomach smiling "Up and at em' Noata, schools calling" then she suddenly blushes "looks like your already up..and I thought you were still a kid" Noata quickly shoves Ninamori off of him and covers himself "What do you expect?!" he blushes at her "Its the morning, OK! She giggles at his shyness to the situation only playing with him. She thinks to herself "Now I think I know why Mamimi always stuck around him. He is cute when he's embarrassed."

Ninamori leaves the room so Noata can get dressed still giggling from the situation that happened earlier. Noata slowly gets dressed groggily whispering to himself "Great, I go from one torturer to another in seven years." He sighs "I guess something that good couldn't last forever." He opens the door to a smiling Ninamori "Alright lets get going." She grabs the back of his shirt stopping him for a second "Wait, you still have to answer those questions that I wanted to ask you yesterday." He blushes at the mention of the questions because of also what might of happened if it weren't for Canti. Quickly he snaps back to himself "Fine I'll tell you on the way to school, but we got to get going now."

Ninamori lets go in surprise making a fake gasp "Noata wants to go to school, Oh my gosh! Are you alright?!" She sarcastically puts her hand on his forehead to check his temperature. He rolls his eyes "knock it off! I'm serious" She laughs at Noata again "fine, fine I'll stop but please answer my questions." Noata grabs his backpack and waves his hand as they walk out the door. They stroll on their way to school and Ninamori starts her barrage of questions "When did you start training?" He sighs "About a year or two after Mamimi left me alone." Ninamori cringes at her name but continues wanting every question answered "How did you learn to use the guitar and jump so far?" He scratches head saying "I kinda picked up the guitar since Haruko used it on me so often and I guess it came from the release of the space kings power like Zaki said."

Ninamori tugs at his sleeve and they stop walking for a second "Last question...why didn't you tell me any of these things since we've been together?" Noata's brow furrows at the question "What do you mean together?" Ninamori tugs at his arm hard "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN! STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THE QUESTION!!" Noata jumps since he usually doesn't hear Ninamori yell at him but relaxes quickly "Fine...maybe because I didn't want you to know because of the way your acting now." Ninamori continues to scream at him "IS THAT WHY!? SIMPLY CAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO SCREAM AT YOU!!" Noata in a burst of speed turns around "NO! BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YOU HURT!!" They both slowly relax and drop the conversation as they begin to walk to school.

Noata quickly walks to his class normal as usual completely forgetting about what happened between him and Ninamori. The day goes the same like all the others since Noata had gotten to high school. He looks out the courtyard and sees the girls doing sports but turns his head as fast as he can as soon as he sees Ninamori up for the long jump. Noata then looks a little left of the window and sees the front entrance of the school and whispers to himself "Maybe I can make a run for it." Then he sees a shimmer that soon turns into a blue vespa. He sighs seeing Zaki smiling then makes the motion saying "I'm watching you." Noata rolls his eyes and turns back to the teacher who is writing questions on the white board.

Noata whispers to himself slumping on his desk "Great...now I can't get out of this boring place even if I wanted to." All of a sudden a note plops on his desk and he looks in the direction of the sender but everyone is looking at the front of the class. He opens up the note and reads it "bored?" He sighs at the note and writes yes but looks for whoever sent it to him. His questioning face finally lands on a girl who looks at him quickly then waves at him under the desk. He raises a eyebrow studdying the girl for a second. She has black hair with purple tips shoulder length but even though her hair is black her skin is white and creamy. She wears the school out fit which is for girls is a white long sleeve blouse with a neckerchief (which she is isn't wearing) and a plaid skirt.

He tosses the note softly into the air landing squarely on her desk surprisingly not noticed by anyone. He studies the small features of her in quick glances out of the corner of his eye so no one notices him not even her. Her curved white face is complemented by thick eyelashes and purple lipstick. He looks down her body to see she is quite a figure, even though Noata would never admit he looks at some girls in that way. He finishes his glance at her legs which is held tight by buckle filled black boots. The note lands back on his desk and slowly he looks at her who is staring at the front of the class as if nothing is out of place.

He opens the note slowly wondering what her respone will be or why shes writing this note to him in the first place. He slowly reads the note "Me too. Wanna have fun?" a smily face shows on the paper with a wink. He raises a eyebrow skeptically but writes back "sure, but how are we going to get out of this class?" He tosses the note carefully as before but lands it in the same spot on her desk. Noata amazes at the way she can show no emotion as if she is doing nothing right now at the moment. A few seconds go by as his stays slumped on his desk looking at the teacher who is now lecturing about the lesson. The note hits his head and he looks surprised at her since the teacher still does not notice the note flying through the air.

He slowly opens the note and scans down it reading it "just follow my lead and try not to mess up."He looks at her who is still looking at the front but still nods at her. A few minutes go by and he begins to wonder what she is going to do. He thinks to himself "maybe she'll do something weird, what did I get myself into? I do this all the time, I try to be nice to people but all I get is people who try to take advantage of me." All of a sudden he hears someone speak from the class to see its the girl who has been talking to him through the note "Miss i'm not feeling to well, can I please go to the nurse's office?" The teacher raises a eyebrow but agrees to her suggestion.

She looks down at the list and turns to Noata "Noata your in charge of the class activities today so please take miss uuh takayama to the Nurses office and if needed assist the Nurse." Noata nods and holds his composour so that the teacher is none to the wise about their secret plan. Noata opens the door for the girl and closes the door behind him following her shortly after. He catches up to her and slowly gets up the courage to talk to her "You already know my name so what is yours?" She lets a sly smirk out "didn't you hear the teacher? My name is miss takayama." He rolls his eyes "you know what I mean. What is your first name?" She laughs still holding the sly smirk "Its suki, suki takayama. Anyways I knew your name before the teacher said it."

He raises a eyebrow "How do you know my name? Its not like I talk to anyone in the class." She laughs "Did you suffer from memory loss five years ago?" He stops in shock "I thought everyone forgot about what happened five years ago?" Slowly suki turns around "Are you crazy, no one has stopped talking about you after what happened five years ago" Noata sighs and looks down "Great and I thought everything was just as normal as before the incident" She bellows out a loud laugh (well as loud as a laugh can get for a girl) "Are you kidding?! All the guys idolize you! The girls even have their own personal fan club devoted to you!"

Noata pulls his head back in shock "How come I haven't noticed any of this?" The sly smile appears on suki's face again "because after the fight you had with that alien the guys are scared of you and the girls think you are taken by a girl named Ninamori." He jumps back at the thought "ARE YOU SERIOUS?! FIRST MAMMIMI! NOW NINAMORI!! SHE IS NOT MY GIRL!!" Suki quickly puts a hand on Noata's face and whispers "I get it, I get it, relax or we're going to get caught." Quickly she drags Noata to a corner so when the classroom door swings open the teacher sees nothing but hall. Suki smiles and winks keeping her hand over Noata's mouth until the door closes. Suki soon burst out laughing "That was awesome!" Noata stands there looking at her like she is a crazy person.

After a minute of suki clentching her sides dieing from laughter Noata finally interupts her "Ok, ok, what are we going to do? You had the plan remember?" Suki then stands straight up almost instantaneously "Oh right!" she grabs Noata's hand and quickly runs him up the stairs. Noata runs pulled by her thinking "how can a goth looking chick like her act so hyper and upbeat. Just my luck." Suddenly Noata is dragged to the top of the roof followed by the slamming the roof door behind him. He twists around to see Suki leaning against the door smiling. He sly grin and eyes seem to penetrate Noata because he stands on the roof of the school motionless in her sight. Suki slowly leans into his direction floating in midair seemingly.

Noata continues to gaze at the gothic beauty who floats toward looking almost sad while happy. Almost in a instant her hand lands softly on his shoulder. Noata quickly snaps back to reality at the feel of her ice cold hand. She changes her smile to a soft, tender, crisp line smile looking as if it was truly a sign of kindness in her face understanding everything he had gone through even though he never met her before. Suki speaks to him in a gentle voice as if paternal "Noata, why do you bottle all your emotions up? Its not healthy." Noata not letting his guard down for a second snaps into his old way "Why do you care? Its not you care about me. All you care about is the person who saved the town five years ago. Just leave me alone" Noata quickly turns his face trying to end the conversation in the end of that sentence.

Suki's other hand quickly catches his face before he could turn it fully to the side. Suddenly her personality changes from the paternal idea he had of her to the sly, amourous girl that he was getting to know. "Well if you won't tell me what I want to know then I'll take from you what I wanted in the first place before I met you" Suki slowly leans in that second ready to kiss the now frozen Noata struck by the idea of kissing this girl he just met. SLAM! "NOATA! YOU BETTER NOT BE CUTTING CLASS!" There stands in the doorway Ninamori breaking the kiss in mid movement. Both persons stare at Ninamori who is staring in shock at the moment she is thinking that will happen. BAM! Noata grabs his head in pain "OW!" knocking Suki back against one of the guard rails knocking her out.

Ninamori shakes out of her shock to see that the same thing that happened to Noata five years ago. "Oh no....not again" Ninamori says in a whisper as tears seem to well up by her eyes but subside in the same moment. Noata continues to grab his head in pain screaming "ITS COMING OUT!! GET OUT OF HERE! ITS COOOMMING OUT!!!" Noata's head suddenly expands normal reasons glowing red but not showing the mark of atomsk. Ninamori stands in shock not able to react to Noata's command. The portal in Noata's head finally opens to show a giant robot almost as big as the roof of the school. Noata manages to focus as the robot finishes coming out of his head. It looms over him with large shoulders, burly chest, thick legs, but noodle arms, leading down to his...hand? One of the hands on this behemoth is missing. Its the robot that was fighting Canti the day he came out of Noatas her.

In split second without thought Noata screams out not for his brother but for his mentor in training "ZAKIIII!!" In a flash a being lands on the robot making shock in the roof that rings through the whole school. Quickly the school empties to to see the roof occupied by the behemoth robot and humans. "You called? Oh by the way you left this behind." Zaki smiles as he tosses Noata's guitar to him. The Robot swings at Zaki but he easily dodges it landing by Noata on one knee. Zaki still smiling with his goggles on looks at Noata "So how did this being come to be here and how do we beat it?" Noata stands with his guitar in hand staring at Zaki intently " He came out of the portal in my head and I think we can beat him by punching the eye of the robot in the center of his chest. It worked last time for Canti." The robot slams his hand in Noata's and Zaki's direction but they both dodge it at the last second.

Noata lands by Ninamori whos still frozen at the sight so he pushes her back into the stairwell slaming the door behind him. Noata screams at the door making sure Ninamori can hear him "GET AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS PLACE! HURRY!" He turns then hoping that he heard his pleas as the battle continues. Zaki lands by suki and in a quick thought scoops her up and dodging one of the slams made by the robot. Zaki lands by Noata still holding Suki in his arms "What do we do?" Noata looks at Zaki with a serious look on his face "You take Suki and get out of here. I'll take care of this mess that we have here." A grin comes across Zaki's face "fine, the let this be your first training session kid. Seeya later" Zaki jumps in the air dissapearing in mid air with Suki in his arms.

Noata smiles for a brief second "good, everyone's safe and i'm alone..just how I like it." He quickly jumps into the air landing a slam of his guitar letting out the same ring haruko had made with her guitar. The robot swats throught the air acting as if nothing had happened. Noata flips and lands on his feet, quickly he focuses on the eye at the center of the beast but something seems to bother him. The monster lands another swing against the roof making debre fly in every direction. Noata slams against the ground but gets up quickly "Ow that hurt. No time to cry for mommy now." In a mili second Noat lunges forward plunging his guitar into the robots center eye. BOOM! The robots body parts fly in every direction.

Noata stares at the parts that fly everywhere and scowls "Something isn't right." He looks on as the parts land around the roof. The left leg lands to the far right of him while the right leg lands behind him just a few feet followed by the robots only hand which lands in front of him on the edge of the roof. He looks at the hand that landed in front of him close as he can get without touching it. Noata then turns to look at the legs "Something is just not right. No robot that me and Canti fought was this easy. BAM! Noata is then sent flying into one of the guard rails that is still up around the roof. There stands the hand the hand he looked at before. He lets a smile cross his face "Thats more like it. I knew it wouldn't be that easy." Noata attacks with malious in his eyes and a joy that seemed foreign to him. BAM! The hand catches the flying V guitar but still receives a tremedous push against the now crumbling floor.

Noata lets out a swift kick against the robotic han still holding his guitar tightly in hand. Crack! The robot stands still at the force acting as if it felt nothing. Noata looks at the robot sternly as they wait in position which seems forever when crack, crack, crack, the floor the begins to fall from under them. Noata lands in a class room back flat on a desk, slowly he gets up "Ow, I think I broke a rib, I'll feel that tomorrow." He looks around and chuckles, its his own classroom and he's on his own desk. "Talk about ironic" but gaining his guard back he shifts his eyes as fast as he could to scan the classroom for the robot arm. Bam! Noata flies across the classroom and slams against the black board. He looks up to see a being but not the robot hand but what looks like a mishapen form on what was left of the robots leg. Noata whispers "Oh...great" Crash! Noata raises his guitar to block what seemed like a blinding attack of a being of the same type.

Noata smirks "you must be the twin. Well lets make this interesting." with all his might he pushes the robot out the window following it down to the ground BWANG! The guitar rings as Noata lands his guitar into the robot landing on the top of its head letting out a hissing sound. Noata jumps back as fast as he could because he knew that sound all to well. BOOM! Noata smiles relishing in his victory CRACK! In that moment Noata is sent flying into a shed making a dent in the wall. "You need some help?" Noata looks up and seems the dark figure of a woman "Well all you gotta do is swing the bat." Noata's eyes widen "Haruko?" he blinks his eyes and the figure dissapears. The two robots stand in front of him ready to move at the sight of his movement. He gets up "Owe my arms broken. No...i got this. Brother this is for you."

All of sudden Noata begins to glow and his eyes flash red. In a milisecond he dissapears and BOOM! The robot hand falls to the floor and explodes with no sign of contact. The altered robotic foot looks around in fear unable to understand what is occuring. BWANG! The guitar rings as Noata stands there behind it with his guitar in one hand. BOOM! The robot explodes but Noata stands there seemingly unharmed but still damaged from the beginning of the battle. Slowly the aura fades from his eyes and his body, slowly he falls to the floor on his knees. He smirks "I could get used to that." Noata then passes out on the floor as Zaki lands by his body "That was pretty good. He got lucky towards the end but it was still pretty good." From a distance a shadowed figure stands by a tree "That was pretty impressive. Wonder if he still has the base guitar?"
