Destiny:Souchou.EXE

Chapter 3


"A bio weapon of mass destruction." said Kururu crossing his arms as Giroro and Dororo gasped at his answer. "It rips matter apart, atom by atom, and could destroy whole galaxies, and everything in them within two seconds." he continued. "I sealed it away because it was too powerful to wield, and also because it feeds off of lifeforce."

"So is that how the four scientists died?" Dororo asked having observed what Tororo had said. Kururu gave him a bland look before replying, "Not quite." Dororo turned his head at bit, knowing Kururu had more information. "Project E.X.E. was never really meant to be discovered, in fact, the group of scientists I was working with were originally sent to investigate a virus that was developing on another planet. We happened upon an abandoned ship on the way, and stopped to scavenge the ship and find out perhaps who it belonged to. The ship was full of dead bodies of aliens all over space. When we searched for a cause of all the death, we found E.X.E.," he began. Dororo and Giroro listened to him intently, at awe and disgust of the circumstances in which E.X.E was discovered. Kururu subconsciously put his left hand to his right elbow, as if ashamed or embarrased of what he was about to explain. "If you can imagine the universe, as large and endless as it may seem, divided in two halves, one light and one dark. What would be inside either side?" he asked looking at Giroro.

"Light and Dark?…the universe?" he repeated Kururu's words as if he had little idea what they meant. "Stars, Gas planets, energy sources that give off heat and light, would be on the light side, planets, asteroids, inanimate solid masses would be on the dark side. Understand? The light side would have all the raw energy needed to destroy the dark side, and since the light side's energy would be used up in the process, that would mean total destruction of everything. E.X.E. can do that, if it has a proper host." Kururu said, his head lowered when he finished. The weight of what Garuru was forcing Kururu into began taking it's toll on the yellow keronian. He began to wonder if he would succumb to actually fearing something for the first time in his life. Could a devil really be afraid?

Giroro and Dororo were rendered speechless at Kururu's explanation. "So then, what happened the day you sealed it away?" Dororo asked breaking the silence. Kururu shook his head, the memories flooding back to him. "We took E.X.E. into Keron's orbit, keeping it safely isolated within the ship we found it in, and removed all the bodies. We studied E.X.E. for eight days, finding out something new about it every day. Until headquarters ordered us to turn it over to be used as a weapon. When we tried to reason with them with the data we had collected, Headquarters didn't seem to care, they saw E.X.E. as a miracle weapon to be used in warfare. The five of us saw it as an unholy creation made by the universe itself as a means of self-destruction. The day headquarters' ordered us to find a host for it was the day I decided I would seal it away. Rozuzu, Miyiyi, Heruru, Hiroro and myself were the ones working on Project E.X.E.," Kururu took a pause at that point. A vivid imagine of him and his team standing in the ship that held E.X.E., he then had not expected what would take place, nor did he expect things to go smoothly.


Rozuzu and the team were setting up on it's transport to Keron, storing it in the strongest metal in the universe, raritanium, also the only metal that had no present magnetic energy inside of it. "Kururu, can you help me out with this?" he heard Rozuzu ask him from behind his huge desk stacked nearly roof high with papers. Kururu came over to him, his computer had a security program on it. "I'm trying to make a security system for it. I'll install this device onto the outside, that way headquarters can store it without fear of any unauthorized personal getting into it." he said happily. Kururu and Rozuzu spent hours and hours on end setting up the security program filled with identity locks as well as coded locks, and at the end of the night, the five of them were the only ones with access to E.X.E. Kururu didn't mind deceiving them on what his true intentions of E.X.E. were. He wasn't really the hero type to be protecting anyone from anything, but even Kururu knew when something was too dangerous, or too massive to be in the hands of mortals. 'It shouldn't be in anyone's hands. Only the universes.' he had thought.

When morning came two men from headquarters' appeared to pick up the Project. When they came banging on the door of the ship everyone lined up to give the men a proper greeting, all except Kururu. He remained in the back of the lab with E.X.E. he was suppose to put the finishing touches on the security, he drilled halfway into the metal screwing the small metal guard on it when Rozuzu burst into the room. "Kururu! Hurry up! The men are here." Kururu didn't acknowledge him though. "Kururu?"

Rozuzu placed a hand on his shoulder pulling him away from his work. "You can finish that up in a minute, we have to welcome the soldiers…" Rozuzu cut himself off seeing that Kururu had installed a small rocket to E.X.E. "Kururu what the hell…" he growled at him shoving away from the project. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" he shouted. Miyiyi, Heruru and Hiroro burst into the lab room after hearing him shout. As they did Rozuzu turned to them. "Miyiyi run the override!" he ordered taking E.X.E. into his hands kicking Kururu away from him.

"Wait! Don't touch it! I'm not finished!" Kururu shouted as Rozuzu tore at the rocket. He ripped it off pulling the screws out with brute force and creating a hole in the metal box E.X.E. was in. "Like hell you're finished!" Rozuzu shouted furious with Kururu. Heruru and Hiroro were at his side with tools. "Get away from it!" Kururu yelled getting up and rushing towards them. The four fought with E.X.E. when Miyiyi finished with the override. The brawl stopped with a loud 'ker-chak' of a weapon pressed to the side of Kururu's head rang. Kururu let his hands off E.X.E. and stepped away from Miyiyi as the four of them stood against. He continued backing away until he was a safe distance from them. "You were going to betray us." said Miyiyi. "After all the work we've done, you were going to betray headquarters." she continued.

"Kururu Souchou…" Rozuzu began, he sounded as if he was going to make an epic speech calling out Kururu for all he was worth when an explosion erupted from his hands. Metal debris took off like bullets, and a huge static noise started up. When the smoke began to clear Kururu saw the horror of E.X.E.'s power. From the holes in the box the project had sensed the lifeforce from the four and let out an electrical charge to free itself to get to them. It had absorbed all of their lifeforces, killing them instantly. The same thing that had killed everyone on the ship had killed the four of them.

A small ball of energy rested in Rozuzu's hand when Kururu had gotten up to look at the damage. "Rozuzu…" he whispered with sorrow. "KURURU SOUCHOU KURURU SOUCHOU KURURU SOUCHOU KURURU SOUCHOU!"

Kururu covered his ears as E.X.E. through some form of electrical communication began screaming Rozuzu's last words. The two men from the army having heard the explosion came rushing into the room when Kururu stopped them. "Get out of here!" he thundered throwing a beaker at them. The two looking at the mess and the four dead scientists ran from the room to their ship and were gone within a minute.

That left him alone with E.X.E. and his dead comrades. He hated what had happened, and wondered what he'd do with himself. "The yellow devil…" he had blood on his hands now, a blood different than war. He could have saved them, he could have done something different. "Rozuzu…Miyiyi…" he breathed his fist clenching. E.X.E. had gone silent now, giving off a flash of blue light every two seconds. "What so now you want me?" Kururu asked it as he turned away from the scene and began suiting up to handle the project. Every hour on the hour the project would scream his name as Kururu began rebuilding it's storage and security system. He stayed within the lab for five days working on it's transport and on the final day, installed the rocket properly to the point where no amount of force could cause a rupture in the storage case. He set up a course into uncharted space and sent it on it's way just as Keron ships were approaching the lab.


"Why didn't it kill you though?" Giroro asked trying to keep his cool. Dororo trembled slightly at what Kururu had told them, barely able to grasp that something so powerful actually existed. "I…" he gasped.

"I don't know." Kururu mumbled. "I didn't look into it." Kururu leaned back to the wall behind him and slide down to the floor. "Now Garuru wants me to bring it back and give it to headquarters like I should have in the first place. How he learned of the project, I don't know. Headquarters knew about the project, but after I reported what had happened they put all hopes and information of E.X.E. away in top secret security." he said.

"Doesn't he know what it's capable of?!" Giroro growled in protest. Kururu gave him a furious look that stopped Giroro cold. "He doesn't care. No one cares." No one had cared except Kururu. He regretted his twisted report of what had happened, but at that point, he had decided he'd finish what he had started. Rozuzu and the others, he knew well didn't really want to give up E.X.E. to headquarters, but they wouldn't dare to disobey orders.

Kururu rose approaching Giroro. "You and Dororo have to escape." he said, his voice dead with seriousness. Giroro shuddered as he knew Kururu had a plan. "What about you then?" he asked. "You can come rescue me once you get back to Pekopon and find Keroro and Tamama." Giroro shook his head at his answer. "You're lying. We're all escaping." he growled. Kururu narrowed his gaze at him but said nothing. "Dororo." he said, addressing the light blue Keron who straightened himself when called to. "Yes?"

"Do you have any of your weapons?" Kururu asked intently. Dororo frowned under his mask and shook his head. "They were wise enough to disarm me completely." he said sorrowfully. "No, that's fine." Kururu said turning back to Giroro. "Giroro, if you don't mind, I have one more plan of escape."
