A tribute to my childhood favorite, I hope you all enjoy this story.
Just as a warning, though, this story will still be funny, expect dark themes in it later on.
Summer vacation, the period many children love. Most of them are traveling around the country, going to the beach, hanging out with friends, or even-
"STUPID FROG!"
"Why is that awful ice cream still here, you were supposed to through it all away!"
(Natsumi Hinata, daughter of the Hinata household, #1 fear of the frogs)
"My bad, it seems I missed a few of them, Natume-dono."
(Sergent Keroro, Leader of the Keroro Platoon, maid of the Hinata household, can't help but slip on banana peels)
Natsumi: "Geez, if it were just normal ice cream, then I would be fine, but this..."
She immediately presents said ice cream to Keroro.
Natsumi: "Who the heck would eat curry-flavored ice cream!"
"I don't see what the problem is, doesn't everyone love curry?"
Suprised, both Keroro and Natsumi look at the dining table to see who was speaking.
"Ku Ku Ku..."
(Kururu, Strategist and Communications Staff Officer of the Keroro Platoon, has a love for curry, his moral compass is like Wheel of Fortune)
Keroro: "Actually, I'm pretty sure you're the only person who'd like that."
"Dangit Kululu, if you hadn't changed all the ice cream flavors to curry, then our invasion plan would've been successful!"
(Giroro, Corporal in the Keroro platoon, has a crush on Natsumi though too embarrassed to say out loud, loves trains)
"I agree as well; after all, although I knew this plan was going to fail, I could've enjoyed the unsold units."
(Tamama, Private Second Class in the Keroro Platoon, love sweets and has mood swings)
Kululu: "Whaaat, I thought everyone loved curry!?"
Keroro: "Well, people do like it, but not that way."
"It was truly awful that the rare flavor ice cream monopoly plan failed."
Everyone turned there heads toward the sofa.
"I really wanted to see the flavors I suggested be released, too bad it didn't happen."
(Dororo, ninja assassin of the Keroro Platoon, had an awful childhood thanks to Keroro)
Keroro: "... about that... Dororo."
Dororo: "Huh?"
Keroro: "We... didn't hear any of your suggestions..."
Dororo: "Eh!?"
Keroro: "Well, I mean, it doesn't really matter since it failed, so... hehe."
TRAUMA SWITCH: ON
Dororo: "Your so awful, Keroro-kun."
Dororo is now sulking in the corner of the room.
Keroro: "Anyway, I'm gonna head out to buy a gunpla, see ya-"
Natsumi: "Hold it."
Keroro stopped in his place, turning his head to Natsumi, afraid.
Keroro: "W-what do you n-need, Natsumi-dono?"
Natsumi: "... Did you make sure to do everything?"
Keroro: "Eh... ah yes I did, yes mam."
Natsumi: "... Are you sure?"
Keroro: "Y-yes..."
Natsumi: "... If you say so."
Keroro squealed in happiness and headed straight towards the front door.
Keroro: "Thank you so very much, see ya."
And just like that, Keroro headed out to buy a gunpla.
Natsumi: "Stupid frog, just watch him bring a huge stack of them back here."
"huh, nee-chan, did Sergent just leave?"
(Fuyuki Hinata, son of the Hinata household, best friends with Keroro, loves the occult)
Natsumi: "he just left to buy some things."
Fuyuki: "I hope he's alright."
Natsumi: "Is something wrong?"
Fuyuki: "I went online, and it seems that today, the color green is bad luck."
Natsumi: "Huh, is that so, well, if anything happens to him, it'll probably be his fault."
Keroro: "Gunpla, gunpla, I got gunpla, yahoo!"
After 15 minutes of looking around the store, he bought five models.
Keroro: "I can't wait to take these back an- OUCH!"
With his sight hindered by the models, he ended up colliding into a bunch of people. On further inspection, it seems that he cant advance through the vast crowd.
Keroro: "Dangit, looks like I can't go through this way, I'll have to go through the alley."
And so he went through the alley. It was perfect, there weren't any people, and it was very wide, a truck could pass through.
Keroro: "Thank god."
*pant*, *pant*
Keroro: "Time to head home."
*pant*, *pant*
Keroro: "Today was a good-"
*CRASH*
Keroro: "Ouch!"
Keroro collided with someone running at high speeds, causing him to fall and drop all his figures.
Keroro: "that hurt."
Keroro: "Hey, watch where you-... huh?"
Keroro was about to yell at the stranger, well, he was until he saw who it was. It was a little girl, long white shiny hair, blue clothes, she looked around six. Keroro was about to apologize until he saw the little girl was unconscious. Keroro immediately went to her to see if she was alright.
Keroro: "Hey, are you alright?"
?: "ngh."
Keroro: "Thank goodness, you're all-"
*STOMP*
Suddenly, he heard a loud stomping sound in front of him, and what did he see? It was a colossal creature, it didn't look like any space animal he's ever seen. It looked like a Sabertooth, it had red capes on its back, horns on its head, over 10 feet tall and 7 feet wide, and was breathing fire. Keroro was terrified, he didn't have anything on him to protect himself.
Keroro: 'What do I do, I need to run, but I can't leave her here so what do-'
Use me
Keroro: "huh, who's there?"
Use me
Keroro looked around to find the source of the voice, and that's when he saw it. A small green diamond-shaped gem, it had a sword and shield symbol inside of it. Keroro picked up the stone and inspected it.
Keroro: "What is this, a gem- GAH!"
The Gem filled the whole place with a bright green light. It immediately dissipated, accompanied by the sound of glass being shattered. And in his right hand was a sword with a golden hilt and a green blade. And in his other hand is a green shield with a yellow star on it.
Keroro: "Wha-what the heck is this!?"
"ROOAAAAARRRR"
Keroro remembered about the danger in front of him and said danger is heading right towards him.
Keroro: "Stay away!"
Keroro instinctively held his shield in front of him, what he didn't expect was that he was not pushed back by the attack, but is withstanding it.
Keroro: "Eh?"
Keroro was moving on its own so naturally. For some reason, he just knows how to use them.
Keroro: 'How am I doing this, well who cares, I'm winning so I'll take it!'
Keroro used his shield to make the monster off balanced. Right after using his shield, he jumps forward, gripping his sword, and slashes.
*FWSH*
Instantaneous, it was split in half in a mere second. The creature's dead halves fell to the ground and then started to quickly disintegrate away.
Keroro: "I... I... I DID IT!"
Keroro was jumping in joy, he defeated the monster and saved the girl. The girl.
Keroro: "Crap, I almost forgot about her."
Keroro went straight back to the girl.
Keroro: "Are you alright?"
?: "ngh."
The girl was finally starting to wake up. Though she still looked a bit tired, she was awake. She was able to sit up on her own. After looking around, she looked at Keroro and says, "Who am I?"
Keroro: "Huh?"
And thus begins the tale of the amnesiac girl and the Tower of Pandora.
