CHAPTER 9: Villains and Heroes
Balthus's ship:
On the way towards earth, Balthus's men were wondering why that planet. What was so important about it? None of them however had the guts to ask Balthus or his entrusted generals. Balthus was thinking of how to attack earth and for that he needed the advice of his generals. They all gathered in the main room and Balthus explained the situation. He had three generals, one fiercer than the other. There was Defla, she handled the defense tactics and trainings of the soldiers. Attay was handling the offense and then there was Balthus's favorite Valdus. He wasn't training the troops nor was he ever on the battlefield unless needed. Valdus was a fierce fighter, he was the special weapon, which Balthus was keeping to settle his wars. Valdus was much stronger than Attay and Defla, but he wasn't interested in politics, he was just searching for strong opponents. Rumor had it that Valdus had been trained by Balthus himself.
Attay: "Master! We should attack that weak planet directly! Send me and two more ships there! I shall defeat them in an instant! I will leave no one alive!"
Balthus: "NO! You have no idea what's on that planet. Our scouts have reported there is a Sayian on that planet…"
Defla: "But I thought we had destroyed them all! How is that possible?"
Balthus: "I don't know…you should both go! I will follow as soon as I can. First I will need to meditate and I do not want to see failure!"
As soon as Balthus had left, Attay and Defla had boarded together with two battalions heading for earth…
Tokyo:
TK had joined Kari's class. He was now also in the basketball team and in the glee club, since he had promised Kari he would join it a long time ago. Everyone returned to their lives soon after Jack had asked Kari out. They were supposed to go on a date Sunday right after church, but Kari doubted her decision and called TK to meet her not telling him what it was though. They agreed to meet at TK's apartment since his mother was away. TK was anxious to see her. He saw her everyday at school, but it seemed different when nobody else was around. He had been looking forward to meeting her all day; he even cooked dinner for them. They didn't speak much over dinner, Kari seemed quite sad and TK confronted her about it when they sat down to watch a movie she had chosen. She held her head on his shoulder and was looking as if she wasn't following the movie at all.
"Kari? You don't seem like your usual self today…is it because of what you have to do tomorrow?"
"Yes…I don't really want to do it…I don't like him in that way at all…I mean he's nice, but I don't love him…"
"Hmmm…I understand what you mean…you don't have to go, you know, you can stay here with me..."
"My crazy grandma would find me and Jack doesn't seem to be that sane either, I mean the way he asked me out…it was like he wanted me to marry him…"
TK smiled…"You have that effect on guys, you know"
"What do you mean?" she responded lifting her head and looking him in the eyes.
"I mean that everyone seems to fall in love with you…Davis, Jack…" he was about to continue the list, but he stopped and blushed.
Kari was looking confused towards him. "My heart belongs to someone else…"
Now he was looking at her with wide eyes. His heart was beating very fast that moment. He wanted her to say he was the one she longed for, but after everything he had done he was sure it was someone else.
"Kari, I…I…"
"What is it TK?" she was blushing now.
"I'm in love with you!" Now she was blocked. Kari had been waiting to hear that for so long now, that she did not believe he said it. "I love you. I always have, ever since I met you…and I always will!" Then he kissed her gently. When he turned back seeing her reaction she said "I love you too TK!" and kissed him back. They finally did what they hadn't done all those years ago before he left. The gentle romantic kiss soon turned into a passionate one…and a first kiss wasn't the only thing the two shared that night…
