~Earth's sphere~

Having exited fold space, Natsuki's blue craft floated splendidly among the stars. Attached to her craft was a fold booster. It had allowed her craft to travel from Jupiter to Earth in less then a minute, but since she had no need for it; she had to jettison the booster for a later retrieval in space.

"Beautiful" was all Natsuki could say. She was never any good at expressing her thoughts into words. Expressing herself was hard for Natsuki. Rather then endlessly debating and protesting against coming to Earth. She chose instead to ignore her feelings and do what she had always done best. She followed orders, and she would be damn if she doesn't do so. It was in her character's nature to do so, and she knew it.

"Scan for an appropriate place to land me and return to orbit and await further orders. Keep yourself out of trouble and guard the fold booster, understand?"

The craft supporting A.I. responded with a beep and displayed a holographic three-dimensional map of her destination.

"Okay good, let's go!" As on demand, the craft accelerated superbly. Natsuki could see the moon, and as she approached Earth, she could see a space station and satellites.

As Natsuki accelerated pass a small single space station with the world "NASA" printed on the sides, she noticed that were people watching her through the windows. "I wonder if they could see me?" Natsuki quietly asked herself as she made her approach for re-entry.

~Somewhere on Earth~

It was an early night. Bright traffic lights and the lights from office buildings illuminated the street, decorating the busy maze of the city. Things were getting hectic as mountains of people buzzed the walkways of Shinjuku, Tokyo. Shinjuku was a place filled with all sorts of people from different walks of life, to foreigners and crooks, or just people looking to make a decent living in town. It was a place known for its alluring night culture. A place of mystery and fun, from the red light district to the many nightclubs that were abound to attract even the vilest type of people.

For some people, they came to Shinjuku to fine love, for some, they came to find pleasures, and as for others they came to experience the reputation of the city itself. But that was for others, but as for Shizuru? Her reasons were simple really. She came to Shinjuku to experience everything. She wanted to fine love, happiness, fun, and to make memories.

Shizuru was making her way toward the busy sections of town, toward a popular nightclub. The nightclub was called "Toxic." It was a popular nightclub heavily frequented by foreigners and college kids. It was at this nightclub that she had met her first love, Tomoe. For Shizuru, first love meant someone that she wanted to be with, a real relationship. Not just a fling, but a real long-term relationship, or so she'd hoped, but be it as it may; fate said other wise. Misery loved her company, she thought.

"Tomoe honey, baby you are so crazy." Shizuru sighed as looked at the endless wall of text messages on her cell phone.

"Shizuru where are you?'' followed by a "I love you Shizuru, momma!" to "I'm going to find you."

The last one was "Please? Answer me!" Shizuru laughed quietly to herself as she scrolled down the list of messages. All messages dated within a couple minutes from one to another. It was creepy, she thought. Tomoe being so obsessive, was the only thought racing through her mind.

"Finally, I made it!" was all Shizuru could said. At last, it was going to be an exciting night, many people to meet.

There was a long line at the entrance. Just her luck, "damn, mostly guys," Shizuru muttered. From the back of the queue she could tell that the ratio of men to women was more in favor of men. Of course she wasn't the sexiest or the prettiest in the crowd, but with this many men, she couldn't help but wondered. Just the thought of being surrounded and hounded for a date by many rather excited men gave her a slight pause.

Slowly realizing the storm that she was in, 'perhaps, today isn't a good time for date searching.' The thought ran across her mind, but as quickly it came, it was pushed aside as the queue quickly decreased. Entrance admittance was lax, and the queue was shortening. She had to make her mind up quickly.

"No, I can't do this."

The bouncer, was taken back by the sudden injection from the women, here stood before him was an undoubtedly a gorgeous women. So why was he hearing " I'm sorry I can't go in, I've things to do" from the women? He was sure she'd be the center of attention.

The bouncer was surprised by the beautiful women's forcefulness. For his part, he was rewarded with an elegant charming smile. Her warm smile could melt the hearts of any men, he thought. The beautiful sound of her voice that he hardly experience with the ladies he'd met at the door. She was different, that looked in her ruby eyes, a looked that could hypnotize a man to his knee. Her hair was chestnut brown, honey colored as he described her in his mind.

"Miss? Many people have waited a long time to go in, and you're telling me that you're not interested?"

"Ara, I'm so sorry, I just had a change of heart, that's all. I'm sorry for wasting your time." Shizuru finished; she then slipped a few bills underneath her right hand and extended to the bouncer for a friendly handshake.

Having surprised the bouncer, Shizuru winked and left for home. "I'll hook you up next time miss, be careful, who knows what can happen at night."

"Sure thing." She giggled lightly; it was her way of taking the warning to heart. She waved goodbye and slowly left the perimeter. Unbeknown to her, there were a group of college students that overheard her. They were standing idly waiting for the queue to shorten.

With a predatory smile, the college students excitedly stalk their prey with their eyes. "My, she's fine!" The man smirked, eying Shizure along aside his friends.

"Guys, you think she want to hang with us, she seemed to be alone."

"Sure she would, she looks easy," a shorter man with glasses responded with a playful laugh to the tall athletic jock.

The other two was less incline to agree, but they were friends. So they had agreed to join in at a later time. In the mean while, they would keep an open spot in the queue.

~Later that night~

After the ease of planetary re-entry, the planet's surface and cities finally came into view. With the thousand of light sources that littered the surface of the planet, Natsuki presumed that she was indeed in the planet's night cycle, or probably where the sun didn't shine.

BEEP BEEP. The sound of caution echoed throughout the cockpit, as Natsuki attention was solely focused on the impeding collision. It seemed that she was on a collision course with a bogey. "What the heck is that!?"

"Hey, evasive maneuvers pronto!" Take me to the destination; with a quick ninety-degree acceleration, she slid to left of the bogey, Natsuki was safe. She had just nearly collided with a cylinder-winged plane. She clearly saw the huge printed letters on the side of the plane.

"Intercontinental Airline huh? What the heck is that?"

"We've arrived at the destination." The craft prompted message had alerted Natsuki's attention to the craft's landing with a forceful jolt.

"Here we go." Grabbing her translator and essentials, a bag full of money and forged documentations. Natsuki began overlaying her flight suit with holographic disguise mainly to appear as if she had on earthly cloths. Putting on the translator earpiece, she stepped out of her craft. She could see that she was dumped at an empty field near the city.

~ T ~T~

Not sure where to go or where to start, Natsuki wondered aimlessly in Shinjuku. To Natsuki surprise, there were so many men and women clinging on to each other. Worst yet for Natsuki, Shinjuku was too crowed.

With distaste, Natsuki couldn't phantom how there were so many men and women together.

"Meltlan te zentran? Yak, deculture!"

As natsuki watched on the crowd of men and women walking passed her, she noticed a girl. This girl, Natsuki noticed was being stalked by two zentran. It was obvious that something weird was going on and because Natsuki was Natsuki, she followed.

~T~~T~

'Oh no, I'm being followed!' Shizuru noticed from the moment that she'd left "Toxic" that there were two males following her. She thought it had been wise to walk in a crowed area, but the strangers were tagging her like a hound on a hunt.

'What should I do?' Shizuru began to panic as she hurriedly rushed toward a free taxi, only to be yanked away by a pair of strong arms.

"Let me go!"

"Hel.." Shizuru was cut off as a rough hand clamped tightly on her mouth. Nobody was doing anything, she thought.

Shizuru was dragged off to a nearby alley. Despite her plead for help; people simply ignored the scene, as they had thought it was just kids and their partying ways.

"Hey, we followed you to asked you out. You want to hang with us?" the tall jock asked.

"Fuck you!" shizuru spitted on the jock's face. The shorter of two grabbed hold of shizuru legs and slowly pulled off her underwear.

Slowly unzipping his pant and adjusting his glasses, the shorter man began to approach Shizuru. "Don't mind if I do, hey you asked for it, I'm just giving what you what!"

The taller jock held Shizuru legs apart. Shizuru's arms were then tied. She couldn't do anything. The thought of being attacked was the last thing on her mind when she'd left her home earlier. She was careless, She thought. 'I can't do anything, but watch.' Shizuru wept, hot tears flowed like rivers, cascading down her cheeks. She could feel her vision blurred from the tears. These vile men were going to violate her.

"Help!"

"Like people is going to help! Shut up!"

*BAM BAM BOMP*

Natsuki's right foot landed promptly on the shorty's head. The man with glasses rocked back from the force of Natsuki's kicks. His glasses fell off and landed right next to his shivering body. The sound of broken glasses had awoken Shizuru's sense. Opening her eyes widely, she could now see that she was indeed freed. Standing before her was a bloody body of one of her capture. So she did what was natural at the time, She kicked him in the gut for good measure.

~T~~~T~

Natsuki was running. She felt like a predator, and this predator was chasing its prey. Her heart was pounding wildly; she felt her adrenaline rushing to her sense. This creep is going down and she wasn't going stop at just one of them. She'd been right all along. She knew something was up when she saw those two zentran stalking the girl. She should kill them, She was a solider after all, she'd thought. Right now, all she cared about was finding the other one.

"Deng Yar!" As luck may have it, Natsuki finally caught up to the jock. With a swift kick to the gut, the jock was down for the counting.

"De:zrants!" Natsuki yelled as she continued to kick the man on the ground repeatedly. After a few seconds, the jock was now groaning, and pleading for help. His body was badly injured. Cuts and bruises were clearly visible on his body. Was he going to die, was the last thought on the jock's mind.

~T~~~T~~~

"I'm saved." Although she had calmed down, she was still afraid. Her saver was nowhere in sight. Not trusting her luck, Shizuru promptly gathered her composure and hastily made her way home. She quietly spoke "thank you" to nobody in particular.

"Par dessu!" Shizuru stopped.

"Huh, what?" Shizuru repined. She reacted slightly with tense, but the voice was sweet. What a beautiful voice, she thought. A sweet voice, but with a deep strong tone, it was definitely a women's voice, so it was safe, she figured.

What Shizuru saw was surprising. There in front of her was a gorgeous women with dark bluish hair that ran all the way to her waist. The women's piercing green eyes bored straight into her heart. She could feel heat rising in her cheek. This woman was her saver? She also noticed this women had a slightly pointed ears. Cute, she thought.

"Par dessu."

Drag out of her distraction, Shizuru answered, "Huh?"

"Hi. Sorry, I meant hi. Are you okay back there, I meant hum I saw you and I errr, I beat them for you!"

Smiling gracefully Shizuru extended her hand to Natsuki, "Oh! I'm Shizuru. Thank you so much!"

Before Natsuki could take Shizuru's hand and introduce herself properly, Shizuru rushed to her with a hugged. Shizuru was suddenly crying uncontrollbolly. Not sure what to do, Natsuki simply placed her arms around Shizuru and allowed her to cry.

"Really, but." Shizuru began to speak.

"It's Natsuki."

"Hey don't cry Shieru. I can take you home if you want?"

Shizuru giggled at the way Natsuki pronounced her name, "thank you, Natsuki."

"Hey! You're laughing!" Natsuki accused.

"Please take me home, Natsuki!" Natsuki wasn't sure what to do, she wasn't sure where to go, but she knew that she had to at least make sure that Shizuru was safely home.

"Alright, let's go Shieru. You lead. I'm no good."

"It's Shi-zu-ru, Natsuki."

*Note* If you're confuse from the last chapter: This story have some elements from Macross.

N.U.N.G. is not Earth's U.N. Organization. I would like to make that clear.

The New United Nation Government is not our Earth's U.N. It's the name of Macross' government, not a world organization like ours, thus Macross government is referred to as N.U.N.G. Their Military is the New United Nation Spacy or N.U.N.S
