Chapter 7: A New Member, a Hard Fought Battle

It was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining, and the birds were singing. In underwater in the Keroro's base the platoon was sleeping soundly until a monitorized Stululu screamed and woke up Keroro. " Yawn….what is it" Keroro said, Stululu said annoyed ," Is that a way to reply to your superiors…..". Keroro then looked to the side of him to see Stululu. He then jumped out of bed, and stood at attention then said," OH! Good Morning Stululu, what a surprise to see you here!". Stululu then said," Well good morning to you Keroro. I came to tell you that there is a new soldier that will be assigned to you r platoon today and will arrive at 4:40 PM.". Oh really! Who is it." Keroro replied," Well Keroro, I hate to say this but I am not allowed to tell you anything about the new recruit. All I expect you to do is tell the other platoon members and prepare for their arrival." Stululu explained," That is all!". " Wait! How am I supposed to-" Keroro then is cut off," Great…..just great…".

Keroro then wakes up the other platoon members and tells them the news," Fellow platoon members! I have woken you up this early in the morning to tell you the good news! Today at 4:40 PM we will be getting a new recruit! So it is our job as platoon members to welcome the newcomer!" Keroro announced. " Oh really! Who is the new recruit! What's their name! What do they look like! Surara said excitedly. Keroro replied," Surara…..I'm afraid I can't answer your question"," Why not….." Surara said. " Because as it turns out, me nor Stululu are allowed to tell you who the new recruit is" Keroro said. " (clears throat) Uh… Sir, why are you and Stululu not allowed to tell us who the new recruit is exactly?" Shadodo asked. " Well you know what! I don't know! I don't know why I can't tell you! But you wanna know something Shadodo! What you to do is SHUTUP, MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUISINESS…..and get the hell on the ground and give me 50, and if you don't…I have the full right to physically punish your ASS! You got it!" Keroro said in a angered and loud voice. Shadodo then sighed, and then began doing 50 pushups.

Later that day in the Hinata household, Fuyuki was up in his room being depressed about the events that happened yesterday. Yesterday Fuyuki ran and came to the local zoo and snuck in. Natsumi then followed behind him, but Fuyuki didn't notice. Fuyuki then began investigating, and avoiding authority agents. He then stumbled on a set of strange footprints that were in the shape of a oval, and smelt like frog, and water. Fuyuki then became happy of the fact that his old Keroro was alive and had been in the area. But then Natsumi sprung from behind him and grabbed him really hard. The two were then caught by the authorities and brought to the agents leader. " Oh man I wonder what they're going to do to us." Fuyuki said in a frightened voice. " Shut up, its your fault for coming here in the first place!" Natsumi said angrily. A group of men in black suits entered the room, and began questioning them. Natsumi then said," Oh sorry for all the trouble my little brother has caused, he was just with a bunch of friends that ended up ditching him because he was about to get in trouble". " What were the names of these children." One of the agents said. " Tim, Eric, and John" Natsumi replied. The agents then believed their story and let them go. The agents leader said," Let this be a lesson to you! Whatever you have witnessed here will be kept secret! Understand…" Natsumi said," Yes, we understand….". The two then left and went home. Thankfully Natsumi did not tell their mother what had happened, nor did she figure out. Fuyuki then began to cry while staring at a Gundam model kit that Keroro had built.

Meanwhile in Keroro's base. The Keroro platoon were in the middle of cleaning, and setting up the base for new recruit. After they were done everyone went to the base entrance, and Denbobo went to the control room in case if the new recruit didn't know where the base was. The at exactly 4:40 PM, the entrance door than began to open to reveal a bright red Keronian, with bright orange eyes, and strangely familiar pink hair. The Keronian then asked," Is this the Keroro platoon headquarters"? Keroro then looked at the Keronian with a confused face, carrying a strange feeling of Dey Ja Vu. " Uh, excuse me! Can I get some answers please!" the Keronian said in a impatient voice. " Oh sorry about that! If you are looking for the Keroro platoon headquarters you have come to the right place! My~ name is sergeant Keroro ~! Nice to have you on board, I will be your leader and squad commander for the time you are here! Please make yourself at home!" Keroro said in the musical voice. " Oh uh….thank you for the the um…warm welcoming, your oh so too kind….but In that case let me introduce myself. I am sergeant Samama and I will act as your first private." Samama said while blushing. One by one the platoon began introducing themselves to Samama. " Hello there my name is sergeant Surara, and I am Keroro's first sergeant!" Surara said with sparkles in his eyes. " My name is sergeant Shadodo, and I am Keroro's sergeant first class" Shadodo said in a mumbled voice while being unimpressed. " My name is sergeant Gyrara, and I am Keroro's Corporal." Gyrara said in a confident voice. " My name is sergeant Zebubu, and I am Keroro's command sergeant major" Zebubu said. " (Snickers) My name is sergeant Denbobo, and I am Keroro's sergeant major" Denbobo said. Diriri then walks up to Samama and bowed, then she wrote down her name and what her class she had in the platoon. Keroro then looked at Diriri in a confused fashion.

Keroro then gave Samama a tour around the base. While doing so the other platoon members, except Shadodo who was reading a book in the corner while leaning on the wall, and Denbobo who was currently experimenting with new weapons. " Well it's good to have a girl in the platoon for once" Surara said. " What you interested in her?" Gyrara said. " Oh no! I don't mean it like that!" Surara said. While the two were talking, Shadodo saw Diriri walk away in a silently into the hallway. Shadodo then decided to follow Diriri to ask what was wrong. Shadodo followed Diriri until he got to her room. He opened the door and walked in to see what if anyone was in there, until he got caught by Diriri who was threatening to cut his neck with a knife. Shadodo said in a worried voice, " Diriri! Diriri! I'm just trying to ask what's wrong" !. Diriri then let him go and put away the knife. Shadodo then asked Diriri what was troubling her. Diriri then looked down and mumbled. "What" Shadodo said. "I said, I'm depressed about the fact that the platoon thinks I'm a guy" Diriri said in a quiet voice. Shadodo then said," Why would you be so depressed about that". " Because I don't have a tail". Diriri responded. " What's so wrong about not having a tail?" Shadodo asked. "…..Do you really want me to tell you….." Diriri said in a unsure voice.
