The effect was electric

"Fuyuki you CAN'T!"

"You're just going to let them win? Where's your pride soldier?"

Fuyuki looked down. He went to respond but Dark got in before him

"Na-ah-ah, Fuyuki-dono has made his decision, and you guys should accept it unless..."

Shivava and Doruru pointed their weapons at the human and keronians,who fell silent

"It's okay..." Fuyuki gave a small smile. "It's fine, don't worry about me"

Keroro came back at that moment

"Nobody move!"

"You could say, all attending?"

The way things looked, it didn't take even a bonehead like Keroro to figure out what was going on.

"F-Fuyuki -dono you can't be planning too-"

"It's okay gunso" Fuyuki said hurriedly, trying not to get upset. He bent down to Keroros level.

"I'll be back soon...I'm sure..."

"But...you don't know what he's going to do to you!" Keroro insisted, getting teary eyed. This almost broke Fuyukis heart. "Don't cry don't cry..." He pleaded gently, giving the keronians shoulder a reassuring pat. "There's nothing to cry about...we've dealt with worse things haven't we? Like when we dealt with Meru, the Aku-Aku and all them? This is nothing"

He stood up to face Shivava and Doruru.

"Okay...I'm ready..."

Shivava nodded. "Come on then human, off we go!" He started to lead the way on his hover-pad. Fuyuki followed, keeping his head down as he passed his friends and sister. He knew they were disappointed in him for giving up so easily but...this was better wasn't it? This way no one would get hurt...hopefully. Shivava led him to the ship outside, which seemed to have expanded since he'd last seen him. When they escorted him inside, his heart sank at the first person he saw.

"Good evening Fuyuki-dono. I must commend you on making the right choice" dark-Keroro smirked, looking down at him. Fuyuki only glared at him, making Dark chuckle.

"Hm? Nothing to say? Very well"

He turned. "I'm sure we're going to have lots of fun together"
