Chapter Two
Traveling more and more, Pupul somehow got into a laboratory thanks to where the portal had taken her and Kuu. She looked around, and saw a boy with spikey hair and a flat dog. "Excuse me! Which one of you is, uhm… PaRappa?" The dog was the one who instantly answered to the name.
"Hey there! I'm PaRappa alright! What's your name then?" Pupul answered by explaining her recent travel to find what she needs, and how Master Onion told her to see him. "Uhhh, you're searching for a 'book of curry' and your true love? That sounds silly even to me! Almost as silly as catching monkeys who just seem like they're having fun!" Spike, the boy, rolled his eyes.
Turning to the teenage girl, Kuu turned instantly protective. "Well sorry! I happen to like saving the world!… And what about you? You're not working with Specter, are you? Because this is his former lab." Pupul shook her head, Spike, although a tad skeptical, was able to trust her.
A rumbling sound came right through the walls, which was instantly knocked down to reveal a giant arachnid. "EEEEEEK! Spiders?! No way! Ew! Gross!" Pupul started running. "When I wanted someone tall and intimidating, I didn't want a BUG!" PaRappa and Spike instantly tagged along with her and Kuu.
Heading for a place to hide they all saw a knocked over table. "Geez! You think someone would spray the place with pesticide by now!" PaRappa attempted to joke. "But really, you're looking someone older and intimidating? That's a weird taste to have, even if that fortune teller told you!… Unless it's that guy." He smirked, pointing at a tall robotic figure.
"What was that you just said?" Spike apologized for some of PaRappa's wisecracks, and introduced Pupul. "Magic curry? You must be full of imagination of the sort… And as for that other part, what if people don't want to be around or help you? Although my job is to help humans."
Pupul stared at him a bit, and had that bright smile on your face. "Hmm, you're tall, mysterious, and intimidating… Maybe you can be my lover then! What's your name?" The man had an unimpressed expression on him, he just sighed in annoyance.
Swiftly taking out his sword and pointing it at the middle-school girl, electricity pumped through him. "I'm Raiden, and I'm afraid I have a girlfriend already. And there are plenty of guys that could go by that description to begin with... That, and you would be too young for all of them." She pouted, taking out her staff to direct at Raiden. They both knew a fight would start.
With the lab collapsed and the spider finding them, PaRappa and Spike hid again instantly to prevent being found as the newbie and Raiden began to fight. Blasts of fire came from Pupul, which scorched her foe. The arachnid stepped back, seeing the flames, and let out a cry of fear.
The two boys watched the spider, and took advantage of it being distracted. Spike instantly grabbed the biggest net he could use to capture it. With the arachnid screaming more, Raiden and Pupul were startled by the sound, and fell over. "Gah! I didn't know that thing was following you-!" She took the time to wail tons of hits on the cyborg.
It seemed she even forgot the blue aura around her had changed once again, except it was brighter. "Hey Pupul! Come on now, you have a Level Two ready!" She didn't understand what PaRappa meant, but instantly used it like she did on Toro. A wave of flames appeared, sending Raiden into the fray.
As he came back with teleportation like Pupul's previous foe, he stared at her for a bit. "Huh, guess this girl was stronger than I thought… I'm not the kind to give up, but I'll be easy on you this time." She beamed in happiness. "I don't know what kind of mission you're on still. But if you're looking for treasure of the sorts, there's an actual treasure hunter and a thieving raccoon that might help you."
Not hesitating for a single moment, our heroine went to the starry-night city of Paris.
