Chapter 4: DUH DUH DUUUUUUUH!
A/N Sorry for all those who were waiting for this chapter. I will admit, it may not be my best one yet, but I hope you all enjoy it! I will endeavour to write more chapters of my stories before the month is done.
Meanwhile...
"Have you managed to find that Impostor, yet?" Porky rasped out, from inside his container. His wrinkled eyes, just being able to see the kneeling servant before him.
"No, Master, I have already set a trap at the next needle. There, I will be able to capture all of them, my Master," the Masked Man said, before rising to his feet and gave a salute.
"Good…I expect to see… results soon," the decrepit immortal said, letting out a small series of coughs in between words, before an orange distortion appeared in the middle of the throne room. "Slave *cough, cough* Stop whatever that is!"
After a few seconds the portal of time rippling, something finally emerged from it. The creature that was vomited out from the hole was dripping wet with some kind of red, viscous substance clinging to its fur. To the emperor and his peon, the creature looked like some kind of giant, lithe, pale (bar all the goo) rodent.
Looking to his Master and then to the creature on the floor as if questioning what to do, he quickly raised his arm blaster when he saw the unknown being stir on the floor. Slowly, almost as if testing, the being began to blink, obviously confused by its surroundings and quickly levitated up so that it stood in the air.
"WHO DARES TO TRY AND KINDNAP GEIGUE?!" the creature demanded, its voice entering their minds rather than into their ears. "FOR THIS, YOU WILL ALL BE DESTROYED!" Geigue stated, raising its left hand as if it were about to attack. However, before it could do any more than think of the PSI move, the alien fell back in a heap, as the masked man fired a PSI love omega at it, knocking the creature unconscious.
"Shall I dispose of this creature, Master?" the cyborg slave queried, walking over to the pale space-rat, already pointing his hand-cannon at Geigue's head.
"No, you idiot, bring him to my lab," the old kid demanded in a rasped voice, smirking sadistically, "He seems like an interesting test subject..."
Back with our Heroes...
The raven haired hero shivered in his seat, feeling a something bad happening somewhere. He and the pinkette had done their best to heal the wounded, but they were still unconscious so they decided to wait until the three awoke.
Trying to erase the awkward silence between them, Ninten (being the genius that he was), decided to ask a question because of how Kumatora seemed to more worried about the blond PSI user, "Are you and Lucas dating?"
If he thought there was silence before, he was practically in a vacuum in comparison now. It seemed to take eons, but it only took a few moments for the female to turn around and face him, "...Just because you saved me once, doesn't mean I still won't beat you up," she threatened, showing off her fist to him. Decidedly not his best question of the year.
"Uhh..." was his only responce, slowly pushing himself back into his chair, trying to think of anything better to say that wouldn't resolve in a broken nose. After a long think (about a minute of more awkward silence as Kumatora went back to checking on Lucas), Ninten finally thought of something, "How did you two get your PSI powers anyway if you don't have aliens?"
The pinkette turned around a look of mixed curiousity and confusion on her face, "We got ours by Magypsy... Are you saying you got yours from Aliens?" she asked incredulously. Yeah, as if saying some fake-name sounding thing makes more sense.
"Yeah, it's a looooong story. I might tell you when the others awake, but what's a... Mag-gimp-sy?" The male PSI user asked, doing his best not to laugh at the weird sounding name.
"Magypsy's are the keepers of the needles and they have have PSI abilities too..." Kumatora loosely explained, not willing to give everything away if the other wasn't going to do so either.
"Huh, okay, makes sense I guess," 'No, but just nod and accept the bewilderingness of it all,' Ninten both said and thought, nodding his head in false understanding. Although they're powers seemed to be from different origins, they both seemed to be the same. He couldn't help as a smile coasted onto his face as he thought about Lloyd having a field day trying to understand how that could happen and then explain it.
"What's making you smile then?" she asked, finally sitting on the edge of the double bed, having put both Lucas and Bony in there, and looked at him. She was very curious about him, from the way he dressed to the way he talked and even just his whole story about saving the world.
"Oh...Just a friend, he'd hate it here. Low tech, no bins to hide in, plenty of sunshine," Ninten related, unable to stop himself of giggling a little. Lloyd was his very first companion (bar the hulk that is Pippi) on his journey and he was now his best friend. Ana and Lloyd were waiting for him. Seeing an odd look in the other's eye, he nodded, "Yes, he likes to hide in bins... He was bullied at school, but after saving the world from Geigue with me and Ana, they all love him there."
"You've never talked about you're friends... What're they like?" she asked softly, more so than she had been before. It was odd. Only Lucas had managed to get her softer side before, but now this apparent time traveller got it as well.
"Well..."
