Chapter 3: Everlasting Memories… Sir, Yes Sir!


We left off where Fuyuki and Momoka just discover a mysterious videotape that the Keroro Platoon left behind for them. Currently now, all the Keroro Platoon's human counterparts assembled in the living room of the Hinatas along with Aki Hinata, staring at "The Tape".

"What do you think it is?" Fuyuki asked anxiously.

"Uh, a videotape, what else does it look like?" Natsumi responded.

"That's not what I meant, Natsumi." Fuyuki replied as an anime sweat-drop form behind his head. "I mean, what kind of things might appear in the video that is titled: Friendship?"

"Oh…"

"May it have some kind cool things about them and us?" Saburo guessed. "I mean, we are their friends, they probably want to tell us something about our relationship."

"But why and what for really, wouldn't it be better to tell us while they were still here?" Koyuki asked.

"That part I don't know."

"Maybe, it might tell some secrets about themselves?" Momoka suggested.

There was a lot of nodding in the group after Momoka's suggestion.

"Or maybe Kero-chan just wants to say his last words to us." Aki Hinata proposed.

"Hmm?" All the kids hummed in confusion.

"What I'm trying say…" Aki started, "is that Kero-chan couldn't really say everything to us all. It probably might hurt him more by doing that. Therefore, by forming a video, he can tell us, indirectly. See?"

"Oh~~~!" They all said.

"Well let's stop looking at it, and watch it already." Natsumi muttered. She snatches "The Tape" and shoves it into the VCR and press the play button.

While the group was focusing on the TV screen, Ghost-chan appeared behind them, watching them. She moved over and slightly sat next to Momoka and looked at her. Then, she, along with the Hinatas, watched the video on the big TV screen.

GIRO: (yelling) What kind of idiot made up this title?

In other words…

Operation: Eternal Friendship…Sir, Yes Sir!

GIRO: (yelling) we could have used this title in the first place you know.

KERO: (muttering) shut up Giroro.

(Slight pause)

(Keroro appeared on the tape; setting: in his room)

KERO: (clear his throat) Uh… are we live? (Whispering and looking away from the camcorder) piss Kululu, are we?

KULU: (whispering) No DUH!

KERO: Oh okay, got ya. (Looking back now) Good evening fellow Pekoponian allies, today, is a sad day. We have orders from Keron that the invasion plan terminated. However, we are to evacuate afterward unfortunately. (Clear throat again) By the time you see this video, we are long gone from this planet. We could not say many things, so yeah. Now let us change scene, Moa, okay.

MOA: (Calling from behind the camcorder) Okay uncle.

(Scene change: Keroro room = Underground base)

KERO: Okay, so we could not say what we really want, so this video will tell you everything we wanted to say. However, let us introduce ourselves that made this video possible.

(Long silence)

(Keroro looked around and waved to Kululu backstage)

KERO: Uh, excuse me; we seem to have technical difficulty and cooperation error. We will be right back. (Wave backstage) Kululu, roll the commercial break!

(Kululu rolled a large red ball on stage that said "break-time".)

(Keroro shook his head and went off stage)

BONK!

(A black screen appeared, blocking out the scenery. However, from backstage, we hear glass breaking, heavy footsteps, explosions, gunfire, etc.)

(Keroro peered into the scene with the black wall behind him.)

KERO: Roll the frames.

(The screen fades out and a frame appeared that titled: Credit to…)

(Tamama appeared behind a large pile of candy, munching it all down. He realizes it, shoves all the candy aside, and cleans his face.)

TAMA: Hi, I am Tamama, the uh…uh one who fund the video, yeah… (Looked backstage and whispered) what do you call that? Fundraiser, right?

(Scene change, shoving Tamama out of the scene. Scene: inside Giroro's tent)

GIRO: (muttering) Uh, what is that red light blinking thing on that? Is it a bomb?

KERO: We are live Giroro…wave to the future now. Come on wave, (whispering to him), you are embarrassing yourself.

(Giroro blushed red at the camcorder and slowly waved. Keroro from the side handed Giroro his lines)

GIRO: Uh…well, um… hey I am Corporal… Giroro and I am (Yelled angrily and confused) …the comic relief! (Grabbed a bazooka and held it into Keroro's face) What the hell, do you wanna die, Keroro!

KERO: (panicking) Well it is true, and we are live you know, you are a bad example…

(Explosion burst out, causing the camcorder to blank out on the scene.)

(Scene: Kululu's lab; Kululu appeared)

KULU: Ku, Ku, Ku, Ku. Yes, I am Sergeant Major Kululu, the Sponsor of the Tech. and the one that …

(Scene cut off, scene changed to rooftop, Dororo appeared)

DORO: Greeting, I'm Lance Corporal Dororo, the editor of the film.

(Scene change back to underground base central control, Moa held the camcorder up high, pointing the view to her)

MOA: Hi, I am Angol Moa, the cam-girl. You can say lights, camera, and action.

(Moa turn back camcorder to Keroro, who sat in his desk, making Gundam models)

KERO: And I, Sgt. Keroro, am the awesome producer, handsome director, the second co-editor, cool reporter, and all-mighty host of the video, sir, yes sir! (Lights goes out, suddenly spotlights appeared) I give you, (shout out, and point at the spotlights) operation: Friendship!

(Another dead silence; nothing happen on the spotlight zone)

KERO: Operation: Friendship! (Dead silence as he turn to the spotlight) (He whispers to Kululu angrily) piss Kululu, you are supposed to do it…

(New frame appeared and knocked out the Sergeant in the head)

(Frame Title: Friends Forever!)

KERO: (From the floor, he lifts a middle finger at Kululu and mutter) Jerk!

(Screen blur out as the scene change to isolated room)


(Tamama is the first to be interview)

KERO: So Private Tamama, do you have something you want to tell us about that you do not feel comfortable about talking. Please note that all of these are confidential to the Pekoponian friends and us.

TAMA: (Nervously) well, pretty much, to Momocchi that I did not tell her that I am leaving. I feel so guilty for that. I wonder how she is right now, and what will she do.

KERO: Do what?

TAMA: Well how will she ever go to Fukkie's house without me? I mean, she always so nervous to go to his house. She uses me as an excuse to come over, do not know if without me now, she cannot go to Fuyuki's house.

KERO: Oh, I see. Very thoughtful.

TAMA: Sorry Momocchi, I feel so useless, unable to help you along your way! So see ya!


(Slight pause, Kululu is the second to be interview)

KERO: Now we will interview the Sgt. Major, Kululu and see what he wants to say that could be hard on all of us.

KULU: (chuckling) well, let us see. I like to thank Aki Hinata for her lovely body in the showers. Ku, Ku, Ku. I almost check every time. Oh and thanks for the curry, it was good. That is all.

KERO: Uh, okay. I did not really expect that type of secret. Well let me ask you then Kululu, do you have anything to say to him.

KULU: Well, we are both smart and everything, but I think he should be at school and everything to stay out of my way. Ku, Ku, Ku.

KERO: …


(Slight pause, Dororo is the next to be interview)

KERO: Oi, Dororo, anything you would like to say?

DORO: Well it is very hard for me to leave Pekopon. I treat it as a new home. Going back to Keron is like… like…

MOA: Like moving from one place to another.

DORO: Yes, thank you Moa. Anyways, many things are difficult to say that I wanted to say to the Earth and our friends. First, I would like to send a message to Earth inhabitants. Learn to care, think about what is happening among ourselves, and how do we feel. Unite and discuss the problems, without superiority or diverse. All were born equal, no matter how they look. Black, white, Asian, Australian, blonde-haired people, brown-haired people; they are all different in looks. Everyone is strong in their own way, people must take their time to understand it, and they are not to be ignored, to be punished, or to be killed because they are different from your ideas of human. If they were the same as you, you will never learn nor survive. They have arms, legs, and head; shape the same, similar body parts, and speak in another language; Humans will always be humans.

Once this taken care of, you must unite and protect from your very own devastation. Oceans intoxicated with chemical spills and trash, poisoning the marine animals that human feast on. The poisonous gas that runs from automobiles and power plants contaminates the air that we breathe. Finally, the lands that we live off, if one can clean his or her room, why they cannot clean up after themselves on the planet they live on. It is no different from cleaning a bedroom, except not cleaning the planet far worst than expected. By ignoring these facts, humans continue to live off these conditions and will slowly far apart. Take care of your very own Earth, or else even with unity among nation and people, all useless when the damages fatal. Learn these to lesson, and finally, you will have peace and harmony. This Dororo and I send this message to Pekopon and their inhabitants.

KERO: I…I do indeed this is an important lesson to keep in mind Dororo. If one cannot keep their own planet together, they might as well just die instead of slowly suffering. Maybe it was good that I do chores then, humph, who knew cleaning is good for your health. Anyways, anything to our friends, Dororo?

DORO: One, to Koyuki, I am sorry that I have to leave you behind. I did not want to, knowing that both of us will be lonely afterward. I am…I am quite worried what will happen to you once I leave. Will you forget me, or will you just have that type of feeling that I am missing from your mind? Only time will tell about that one. Until then or until we meet again Koyuki, I wish you a good luck on protecting Earth. This Dororo, signing out.

(Slight pause, a bright red Giroro is next)


KERO: (chuckling) Gero, Gero, Gero. Oi, Giroro, I bet you have many things you would love to say, hmm, maybe to, oh I do not know, Na-tsu-mi.

GIRO: (muttering angrily) I swear one day, I am going to kill you guys! (Paused) Moreover, no, I do not have anything to say to the camcorder… (KERO: [whispering] Audience.) …Audience, yeah.

KERO: Okay fine, nothing more. All of Giroro's little secrets will be saved for Natsumi personally, when the time come if possible.

GIRO: (yelled) ^* :}|~` (something not intelligent)


(Slight pause with gunfire in the background, Moa appeared on the screen)

KERO: Okay Moa, you are up, have anything to say?

MOA: Oh, I was quite disappointed about Pekopon. I mean I could not destroy it that is all. I maybe leaving right now, but I do not know, maybe I should come for a visit sometime or to finally destroy it.

KERO: Uh, maybe it is best to choose your first chose Moa; I do not think the Pekoponians want the second chose.

MOA: Okay, whatever you say Uncle.


(Slight pause, Keroro finally showed up on the screen again.)

KERO: Well, all is well and everything, so I guess that is it. Oh, this is a shout out to the Hinatas. Thank you for everything; it has been an honor working with you. It was the happiest moment I ever experience in my entire life, spending my time with you guys. Now, Kululu, launch the Kero to March for our friends!

KULU: Aye-aye sir.


(Screen fades out, Kero to March Shoutai Version video begins to play) * I will translate the lyrics (re-assign lines) to what I think, to you readers, along with an additional line at the end. Enjoy!

GIRO: Oh well, "good" well, just a job well done!

ALL: Come aboard, join along, the invasion has begun!

(Video ends and the TV screen fades out.)


The humans sat where they were, looking quite confused about the interviews.

"Man, those were pretty pointless videos, huh?" Natsumi commented. Her face changed into anxious and pointed out, "But I wonder what Giroro was trying to hide from me?"

The other kids chuckled to themselves nervously as she thought curiously. Fuyuki ejected the videotape and pulled it out of the VCR.

"What are you going to do with that?" Natsumi asked.

"I'm going to keep it." Fuyuki replied.

"Why? What is the point? It was stupid you know."

"Not really Natsumi-chan," Koyuki respond, "Not all hope is lost; the music video was very good, even if it is about invasion, but I do like the music."

"I agree," Saburo said, "It was good, maybe I record it and play it on my radio channel for everyone else to hear."

"This is no ordinary videotape," Fuyuki said which startled everyone, causing them to look at him in confusion.

"What do you mean, Hinata-kun?" Momoka asked.

"This was the last thing the Sergeant and his friends made for us," Fuyuki explained. "It's their only farewell gift that will remind us of our friendship. That way, even though we are worlds apart, we are still friends to the end. It is our treasure from our friends."

Everyone nodded and smiled in agreement as Fuyuki went away to put the tape in his room.

"Well, as long as we know that Kero-chan and the others will be okay, we will be okay too then." Aki Hinata said. "All is finally settled I guess."

"Uh…guys…" Fuyuki mumbled from the hallway. Everyone turned to the door where Fuyuki walked in with his left hand behind his back. "Look…what I found in the locked drawer…"

He pulls out and reveals his left hand, which shocked everyone in the room.

"That-That is impossible! How could it still be here?" Natsumi yelled in confusion.

Everyone stared down at the object Fuyuki was holding. There it was, lying in the hands of Fuyuki Hinata, was the Keronian weapon that was seal away since the first episode, the Kero Ball!
