Chapter One
Two years have passed since the events where Raharu had left Earth to search for the fleeing Atomsk. Two years have passed since Mamimi Samejima left Mabase to pursue a career as a professional photographer. Since then, the life of Nandaba Naota has been hell. Everyday, he would be teased and ridiculed by his fellow classmates, especially by Gaku and Masashi. Let's not forget the class rep that constantly gets on his case about skipping school. What the hell is the point? He didn't see the point. Thus, he set the school ablaze, just like Mamimi did to the old elementary school over ten years ago. He never was caught, and nobody suspected him…save one person, Ninamori Eri.
However, she didn't care. She sat on the steps on her mansion, looking up to the sky. It's his own damn life. If he wants to ruin it, let him! For the most part, she was depressed that Naota didn't see her in the way that he saw Mamimi or Raharu.
(((((()))))
Near a certain bridge, Naota simply laid back on the grass while puffing a Never Knows Best brand menthol cigarette. It's so boring here. He took a few more puffs before throwing his butt into the creek. He looked to the sky above, and what did he see? He saw a shooting star, and decided to make a wish. "Starting tomorrow, I wish my life wouldn't be so boring." He raised to his feet and left.

In outer space, a large battle cruiser was traveling at warp speeds. It was gargantuan, almost 25 kilometers in length and 10 kilometers in width. It looked like something like a Behemoth-class Battle cruiser from StarCraft. On the silver hull, there was a black logo. It read 'MM-PD-00000001.11111110 (decimal number 510, binary number 1.254)'.
On the bridge, there was an elderly man dressed in samurai armor. He sat in a comfy chair at the center of the bridge. Four bridge bunnies in black ninja uniforms, all sitting in random locations, surrounded him. Their ninja uniforms had labels as well.
The head honcho demanded, "What's our status?"
The ninja labeled as 00000011 (3) saluted and answered. "Maestro Hibuki Sakai, sir! At our present speed and course, we should reach Earth's orbit in twelve hours."
Sakai grinned. "Ninja Bot 00000100 (4), make sure that Ninja Bots 01000000 (64) - 01100000 (96) are ready for combat!"
Ninja Bot 00000100 turned to its master and saluted before leaving the bridge to do what it was told.
Hibuki Sakai pondered his victory. Soon, the power of Atomsk will belong to Medical Mechanica!

A young woman, 19 years age, with shoulder length maroon colored hair, full lips, full breasts, and voluptuous legs was chasing after a shadowy figure in an endless field. This endless field was like a rainbow, with blossoming flowers of all shapes and colors. She yelled out to the shadow, "Tasuku sempai! Wait up!" She continued her pursuit of this shadow. "Tasuku!" The shadow-like figure stopped, and she managed to catch up. However, it faded as soon as she did so. Another figure appeared in the shadow's place. It appeared to be a 12-year old boy with a cyan-colored hoody and dark cargo shorts. His hair was a messy brown and his eyes deep blue. "Naota?"
The boy spoke to her. "Mamimi."
"Why are you here? Why am I here?"
"I need to tell you something."
"…?"
((((()))))
In a dark condo within uptown Tokyo, the maroon-haired wonder shot up from bed, clad in a T-shirt and panties, soaked with sweat. Why does he haunt me like this?
((((()))))
Naota was usually groggy when he woke up. Indeed, he lacked the motivation to face reality…but today was a different story.
"Where the hell am I?" The young Nandaba pondered his situation. This looks like a jail cell. He looked out the window, and what he saw was most unexpected. "What the hell is this? I'm in outer fraggin' space!"
An old man in a sumurai uniform sat on a black, leather recliner at the other side of the barred door. "Ohayo Nandaba Naota, this is a pleasure indeed."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Hibuki Sakai, head of Medical Mechanica's Ninja Bot Division."
"Why am I here?"
"You are here because you have been imbedded with the power of Atomsk, as well as one of our robots, the one you know as Kanchi. We plan to drain your life energy and create a high-powered weapon from it. Obviously, you won't survive the process"
Naota was not happy about that. "What the heck gives?"
Hibuki laughed. "Think of this as an honorable sacrifice, young one!"
Naota had to get out of there. "KANCHI!"
((((()))))
Mamimi originally planned on capturing photos of Shinto shrines today, though the visions in her head kept her from doing anything. She thought she was over him. She thought she should let him go, let him be with Haruko. Had he gotten with Haruko? No, he hadn't. Haruko, rather the space pirate Raharu, abandoned him to pursue Atomsk across the endless plains of space. Then why did Mamimi leave? Was it because she figured Naota could never replace Tasuku? That couldn't be it. He had always been there for her, unlike him...the guy who dumped her for a career in baseball. Several times, Naota had saved her, as well as Mabase itself, from the Medical Mechanica robots.
The young miss Samejima looked down at the busy Tokyo streets from her condo balcony, deep in thought. Naota, I wish I could see you again.
((((()))))
Back on the MM-PD-00000001.11111110, the red Kanchi's Gibson EB-Zero was smashing Ninja bot after ninja bot, turning them into nothing but scrap metal. Naota, who had been rescued from his cell, just leaned against the wall, arms crossed, cockily smiling down at a nervous Sakai. "So, still plan on using me for your stupid experiments?"
Sakai was too petrified to reply.
After all 32 battle-mode Ninja bots were totaled (which only took 4 minutes), Naota was ready to get the hell out of there. Text flickered across Kanchi's TV face.
[root kanchi root] # echo I will uplink to their wi-fi mainframe. There should be some escape pods around here somewhere.
I will link to their wi-fi mainframe. There should be some escape pods around here somewhere.
The boy replied, "Hurry it up."
[root kanchi root] # echo I am also going to set this ship to self destruct on Pluto.
I am also going to set this ship to self-destruct on Pluto.
Naota smirked. Serves 'em right!

[root medicalmechanica root] # ./root/map.sh
A map was displayed on Kanchi's TV face.
Naota eyed the map carefully. We're about 3 blocks away from the main corridor. There are five escape pods in there. He commanded, "Let's go!"
They rushed to the escape pods. Any personnel that got in their way, combat or non-combat, was met with the butt of the Gibson to the back of their head, courtesy of the god of the black flame.
Once they were in the escape pod, Kanchi prepared it for lauch.
[root medicalmechanica root] # ./root/escapepod.sh
Which escape pod to launch? 6
They were in escape pod six, so Kanchi selected six.

Their escape pod was launched.
Naota sighed with relief. "I'm glad that's over with."
[root medicalmechanica root]# logout
Disconnecting...
[root kanchi root]# echo It's not over yet. Hopefully this escape pod will hold together when we enter the earth's atmosphere.
It's not over yet. Hopefully this escape pod will hold together when we enter the earth's atmosphere.
He had a good point. Naota didn't like it. Oh shit…
((((()))))
Alarms were going off everywhere on the MM-PD-00000001.11111110.
Sakai growled. "That stupid punk outsmarted me, master of the ninja! HE WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
He rushed to an escape pod, throwing all of his subordinates out of his way.
He boarded pod number seventeen, though he had to knock out a few people to get them out of there. "This is my escape pod, bi-atch!"
((((()))))
High in the atmosphere, a sphere-shaped pod descended at incredible velocity. The boy inside was having a blast.
"Oh god, I'm gonna throw up!"
The speed of the pod just kept getting faster and faster…
"Make it stop!"
…Until it reached to the top of the old Medical Mechanica plant, where it just seem to pause.
"Huh?" There was a moment of silence. "I'M STILL ALIVE!"
When the hatch opened up, Naota jumped out of the pod. "I never though I'd be saying this: it's good to be back home!"
Kanchi, who was now blue, nodded in agreement.
[root kanchi root] # echo No kidding..
No kidding.
End Chapter One.
