Chapter 10: Back To Station
"Okay, I think everyone was safe and the culprit was secured, so I guess we're done here, Assistant Inspector Chips..." Nao said after he tied up the green haired guy and escort the people on safety
"Okay then, let's follow everyone downstairs" Chips said, but then, the green haired guy slowly woke up and look at the orange boy first and then to his surroundings
"H-He's awake!" Nao said nervously, then, he saw the green haired man was wiggling around, trying to free himself for the rope that was bounding him
"Hey! Why the heck I'm all tied up!? Did you do this?!" he look at Nao
"Ah...Umm...that's..."
"Why the hell did you tied me?!" he demanded
"W-Well, you're actually trying to blow this place up so..." Nao answered him, uncertain on what he will say to the guy
"Blow this place up? What are you talking about? I don't remember saying that? By the way, where am I?" the green haired guy asked as he put more effort on freeing himself
"..."
"T-This guy..."
"Who are you and what did you do to Dr. Love?!" Veronica angrily asked the blue haired boy, who look at her impassively and emotionless and not caring if he's actually holding a human heart on his palm
"Me?" he asked
"Yes, you! Who else I'm asking to?!" she retort to him
"Well, I'm Taklamakan Strange Love, or Dr. Love for short, why?" The boy simply told them, this earn gasps from the two women and calculative eyes from Chuuta
"WHAT!"
"Are you insane! how can you be Dr. Love when he's right there?" Veronica then pointed her finger at the old man's corpse
"Oh, that...it was just nothing but old leftover cells during my rejuvenation process" The boy answer her
"R-Rejuvenation?"
"Anyway, I'm Dr. Love, so do you need something from me? I hate someone interfering in my work so if you have anything to say, now's your chance..." the boy told them with the same bored tone
"Wait a minute! I'm asking you! How can you be Dr. Love?" Veronica asked him again and this time, she's getting more irritated at the boy
"Everyone!"
Chuuta turn to see Nao and Chips, hurrying towards them, Veronica and Ninotchka also turn to the newcomers
"Officer Nada! Chips! Is everyone okay" Veronica asked them
"Yeah, we manage to evacuate them, but there's something wrong on the culprit..." Nao added
"Huh?"
"You see, he just woke up recently and start talking to us, saying that he never knew that he was here, me and Assistant Inspector Chips then told him that he was trying to bomb the place but he said that he didn't remember doing that" he explained to them
"What!"
"So, you're saying that the green haired guy was hypnotized too, just like the others?" Chuuta asked him
"Probably..." Chips agreed to him
"T-Then-"
"It seems that the culprit was someone else" Veronica conclude
"Wait, what are you people talking about? And who is this green haired guy trying to blow this place up?" the blue haired boy asked them, Veronica then remember the strange boy telling them that he's Dr. Love
"Oh, that's right Chips! Can you analyze his SPH and compare it to Dr. Love? This boy was actually claiming that he's the real Dr. Love...and it's getting more and more irritating" Veronica ordered
"Youyousa!"
Chips then scan the boy's body and his SPH and compared it the old man that was laying on the metal bed
"NO WAY! He's the real Dr. Love chu!" Chips shouted
This surprise all of them
"So, you're actually telling the truth" Veronica asked him, the boy resist to rolled his eyes at that
"I guess you people were relying too much on eye sight and yes, I'm the real one" Dr. Love answer
"B-But how did you became so young?" she followed up
"Well, having younger body allows me to be more productive on my research..." he replied to them and suddenly, Dr. Love sniff around
"Hey, you...that smell, are you a Kushutonian?" Dr. Love asked Veronica, who was startled at the sudden question
"Y-Yeah"
"Just as I thought..." he then kneel down and start to grope her legs and caress it, everyone especially Nao was shocked at what he's doing, Ninotchka's face was heating up, Chuuta was a bit shocked at the doctor's straightforwardness and his guts to touch a woman's body parts
"W-W-W-W-What are you..." Veronica was flustered
"Hmm...this feeling...yes! This is definitely the legs of Kushutonian, who boasts powerful kicks..." he continue observing her legs, then his hands were going higher and higher, this make everyone except Chuuta blush
"Wha-"
"W-What are you..." Nao stuttered
"...But their legs was not their unique features or neither their horns on their forehead...but rather, this one" Dr. Love then touch Veronica's crotch, this cause the Kushutonian girl's to gasp
"NOOOOO!"
*SLAP*
After that, Dr. Love's face had a red slap mark on the left side of his cheek, Veronica was panting and her face was red, Nao and Ninotchka was still blushing too, and Chuuta wince a bit at the slap mark that the doctor got
"I know doctors need to be more observant on their patients, but what he did earlier just cross the line...good thing he just got a slap instead of either kick or punch on a crotch...that would be a lot painful" he thought, then he cough three times to gather their attention once again
"Anyway, we have Dr. Love now, so can we go back to the station? We don't have much time" Chuuta told his comrades, This made everyone nodded at him
"T-that's right, well then, let's-"
Chuuta's instincts suddenly react as he dash towards Veronica
"Look out!"
"Eh!"
Then what happen next was too fast for anyone to follow, Chuuta was now carrying Veronica bridal style and was very far from Dr. Love 's position and not far from the blue haired boy was a green tornado-like SPH, it was on the position Veronica used to be
"You're really a fast one, boy..."
Chuuta, Veronica and Nao turn to see Ninotchka activate her SPH and her eyes were red with a strange mark on her iris, she was smirking at them
"I'm so glad that you're safe Dr. Love, now...you will come with me so I can finally open the treasure" she said, Veronica was confuse and so is Nao but Chuuta knew that there's something wrong with her, seeing those red eyes
"I see, Is that the remote SPH I've been hearing about? The one that was capable of controlling an individual from a certain distance" Dr. Love stated to them
"Exactly"
"But how are able to do it on elDLIVE officer? I'm curious..."
"I don't mind telling you, if you come with me, that is..."
Then Ninotchka activate her battle suit just like Misuzu, however, hers was even more revealing than her, it was color black with green hue outlining it, the clothing only covers her breast and crotch and it looks like a very revealing black two-piece bikini to any boy who will see it, and for sure, they will suffer nosebleed the moment they laid their eyes on her while wearing those outfit
"Well then, let's go Dr. Love..." Ninotchka stated as she was about to capture the doctor using SPH but Nao quickly react, releasing an yellow whip like SPH to counter's Ninotchka's own SPH
"Chuuta, I'll handle this one, you go and keep Dr. Love safe" Nao yelled at him, Chuuta, for the first time, was shocked at Nao's determination, well, if he can handle it, then there's no room to complain
"You sure?" he asked him
"I am!" Nao yelled
"Okay, be careful then..."
Then he put Veronica down, who also decided to help Nao against Ninotchka so she ordered Chuuta to get Dr. Love to safety since he's a lot faster than them, Chuuta nodded at that
"We'll be on our way then..." he said and as he was about to escort the doctor, he turn to the two officers
"Wait, before we go...you two must use this cannon I just built recently if you want to free that woman, it's an SPH removal cannon and it can remove any type of SPH so it's supposed to work on the remote control SPH that girl has absorb" Dr. Love told the two and then he handed them a blue bazooka-like weapon, both nodded at that then Chuuta and Dr. Love went outside fast
"Okay then, Office Nada, let's free Nino from the culprit's grasp" Veronica said as they engage her on a fight
After ten seconds of running while carrying Dr. Love on his back, Chuuta was now outside of restaurant, after he put the doctor down, he then took out his badge and make a call to the station
"Chief Laine..."Chuuta said and then after few seconds, it respond to him
"Chuuta! Is that you?!" Laine asked him
"Yes, It's me, we secured Dr. Love, can I request to transfer him to the station?" Chuuta asked
"Of course, where's Veronica, Ninotchka, Nao and Chips?" he asked him
"It seems that the culprit was capable of controlling anyone and now, officer Ninotchka was the current victim, Assistant Inspector Veronica, Assistant Inspector Chips and Officer Nada was left behind to free her" Chuuta informed him
"I see...okay then, we'll get Dr. Love and then after that, you go ahead and help them" Laine ordered, Chuuta nodded
"Youyousa!"
Then after few moments, Dr. Love was covered on light and then he disappeared towards the sky, Chuuta look above to see him being transferred back to their station
"Okay, time to-"
Then an immense explosion occurred that destroy the whole restaurant and exposing Dr. Love's underground lab
"..."
Chuuta immediately took cover until the explosion subside and after that, it revealed the four, Veronica was covered in cuts and bruise, Chips has only minor injuries but the worst was the unconscious Nao, his left eye was damaged and half of his skin was burnt and worst of all, his Monitalien was killed, it's face was ripped into pieces
Nao's POV:
It's all over...so this is as far as my courage can take me
"Ugh..." I moaned and then clutch the left side of my face and felt a burning sensation from it
"Drew...are you-huh..." I asked my partner only to found him dead, his face was ripped off him after he take one of Ninotchka's funnels in order to save Veronica
"No..." I thought in despair, the one and only reason why I was scouted on elDLIVE was dead...how could this be...
"Hmph...just as I thought, Monitaliens are just nothing but leftover relics of Planet Glyph" I heard Ninotchka told me
"..."
I was angry, but my body won't move, it hurts...at this point, I was ready to give up...to leave everything to Chuuta, but-
"Nao..."
I heard Drew's voice
"Drew...is that you?"
"Do you really believe that Misuzu is really innocent?"
"We're still going on that! I told you that I believe that she's innocent" I said
"I see, then what's the reason behind your trust towards her? Is it because of what Chuuta said that there's more on this case that we didn't know yet?"
"I..."
Drew has a point, he was clinging on that hope, that one day, Misuzu will be cleared of all charges that was thrown towards her
"I..."
But then, after hearing Chief Laine and Prof. Isaac during their exchange of theories regarding the connection between Misuzu's treason and Dr. Love's escort mission, his belief gotten stronger and with that...
"I am and I will always been Drew...I don't care how hard it is, but I will make sure Misuzu will be cleared and I will stop at nothing" I declared to my partner
"I see, then Drew will believe in you too..."
"Eh!"
Then a blue bright light engulf my well being...
End POV:
Veronica was shocked at the amount of SPH that was released from Nao and then, after few minutes, it subside to reveal that the orange haired boy was completely fine, his wounds were healed and the major change that occurred to him was his Monitalien
"D-Drew...is that you?" Nao asked as he look at Drew's new form, his looks became sharper and he grew wings, Drew just nodded and muttered words that only Nao can hear
"..."
"I see... then let's do it" Nao said
Chuuta arrive at the scene to see that Ninotchka was now unconscious, Veronica was holding the SPH removal cannon and Nao's Monitalien was changed...or rather, it evolved
"Guys!" Chuuta half-yelled as he approach them, Veronica and the others notice him
"Chuuta..."
"How's Dr. Love?" Veronica asked him
"He was transferred to the station...let me guess, she's okay now?" Chuuta asked them after seeing Ninotchka's unconscious form
"She's fine now, Nao distract her long enough to give me an opening to fire this cannon to her" Veronica said, raising the blue cannon
"Well, let's go back to the station too"
To everyone's surprise, they all landed back on the station normally, Ninotchka was with them, she's unconscious and laid on a floating metal bed
"W-What! We're not upside down this time" Nao commented, this is the first time he was transferred normally
"It seems..."
"Where's Dr. Love?" Veronica asked Sheronimo
"He's with the Chief but there's something wrong, suddenly several of our people was acting strange, saying that they will kill everyone inside this station" he told the three
"What!"
Then Chuuta's instincts suddenly kicked in, then without being noticed, he ran towards a certain location without anyone realizing that he actually left them
