Chapter 4: GekkoState

OK. I'm going to try something new with this author's intro. I'll let characters in the story talk for me. Ok? Here we go:

Renton: Wow! Chapter 4 already! This author is fast!

Eureka: Yeah, but he updates slow.

Maurice: And his chapters are too short.

Slop Doggy: …Urge…to…kill…rising…

Maeter: AHHH!!! Quick!!! Do the disclaimer before he kills us!!!

Linck: Oo! Oo! Can I do it?

John: No, let me. Slop Doggy does not own Eureka Seven in any way. Eureka Seven belongs to Bones. Plus, the quote, Urge to kill rising, belongs to Dave Anez of the Bob and George Comic Strip () He only owns Original Characters like me, any other OCs, and the storyline. Now quick! To the story!!!!

Slop Doggy: Ok, I'm calm. Time for the… Great. I missed the disclaimer.

Chapter 4: GekkoState

One Year Ago:

Holland sat on the wing of the Gekko. Next to him stood Admiral Jurgens.

"It looks like Dewey left us one hell of a debt to pay," said Jurgens.

"Yeah. I guess I'll have to shoulder it all," replied Holland.

Present Day

Holland sighed as the events of one year ago ran through his head. Ever since that day, he had carried his brother's debt and protected this planet, which was made easier by the new Terminus 949 series, which resembled the old 909, but with a gold color scheme

But on the flip side, he felt he failed Renton and Eureka by not being there to protect them. And that had led him to decide to become a member of the Federation again, in case their Intelligence Department finds the two of them. This way, he feels like he is cleaning up his brother's mess by slowly but steadily annihilating the rebel fleet, just like the battle earlier that day.

"Leader, we have 2 squads of rebel KLFs inbound!" cried Woz over the bridge comm.

"Got it. 949 launching!"

"606 launching!" cried Matthieu.

"808 launching!" echoed Hilda.

And with that the battle began.

"Lead, watch yourself. Missiles inbound!" yelled Hilda.

"I see it! Launching defensive screen!"

With that, the 949 released two canisters of chaff, destroying the missiles.

"606 reporting two down!"

"808 reporting one more!"

"Got it! All right, team. Let's finish them!" yelled Holland.

The three Gekko LFOs picked a target and flew after them.

"606 reporting target destroyed," said Matthieu after a Cut Back Drop Turn into the rebel KLF.

"808 reporting target, trashed," said Hilda.

"Good job, guys. Return to the Gekko," said Holland after destroying his target.

As Holland was remembering the battle, a call came over the radio in his room.

He walked over and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Holland, get your butt over here now."

"Axel? What's wrong?"

"They're back," said the old man, and hung up.

After a few seconds of shocked silence, Holland threw the phone down and ran to the bridge.

"What's wrong, Holland?" asked Talho.

"Set a course for Bellforest and step on it," he replied. "The heroes of the world are back."

After this declaration, a loud cheer was heard in the bridge.

Three days later, they all landed in Bellforest and found themselves in front of the new Garage Thurston.

"Everyone ready?" asked Holland.

"Ready," replied the crew.

"All right. Here goes nothing."

He walked up to the door and knocked.

Through the door, he heard Axel say, "Renton, can you and Eureka get the door?"

"Sure, Gramps," Renton cried.

Holland held his breath. It was Renton, all right. He recognized the voice. He heard the door being unbolted, stood up straight, and found himself face-to-face with Renton and Eureka.

"Hey guys. It's been a while, huh?" he said, his throat closing up.

A split second later, he found himself on the ground buried beneath Renton and Eureka.

"Holland!!" they cried.

"Hey, what about us? What are we, strangers?" asked Talho.

"Everyone…" Renton said, close to tears.

Talho smiled and said, "Welcome home."

Renton: Wow, pretty good chapter. At least we met up with Gekkostate finally.

Eureka: Yeah. I was beginning to wonder if Slop Doggy would ever do that.

Maurice: What about us? Why haven't we shown up yet?

Slop Doggy: You're in school. Duh. Just like me. That's why I update so slow.

Maeter: That and because you're lazy.

Slop Doggy: … You're just begging to be hurt in the story, aren't you?

Maeter: Bring it on, tough guy. I ain't scared of you.

Slop Doggy: You're right. I would be lynched by angry fans if I killed anyone in the story. Except for rebels. Rebels can die.

Linck: True dat.

Slop Doggy: In case anyone hasn't noticed, I tell the story from the viewpoints of Renton and Eureka first, then Axel and the kids, and finally Gekkostate. But rest assured, this is the final chapter that is going to happen. What's that you ask? What's next? You'll have to find out in the next chapter…I don't know what to call it yet.

Maeter: *cough* Lazy. *cough*

Slop Doggy: …

Be safe and well
