Harvest Moon BTN: [Gray's Revenge]

Chapter 6, Spring : [The Invasion]

"Huh?!" Nate asked nervously.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Nate turned around to see Ann. Ann was tapping her foot on the floor as she awaited an answer from Nate.

Nate answered, "Well, I don't really know. But I guess you're probably gonna call your dad, aren't you?"

Ann answered in a low tone, "No, I'm not. I'm sure that you didn't do it. But I just wanna make sure, did you or did you not attack Jack?"

Nate answered Ann, "No, I didn't. And I'm gonna prove it. But first, I need to make sure that the town is protected. Don't worry Ann, I'll be back."

And as Nate was about to exit through the window, Ann approached him and said, "I'll reserve your room until you get back." Then she gave him a kiss in the cheek, Ann blushed and left the room.

Nate was surprised for a moment, but then he climbed out the window. He was able to leave the town, without anyone noticing. But the next day, everyone but a few were shocked to find that Nate had escaped.

"How did he get out?!" Rick shouted.

"Locking him in Kai's shack wasn't a good idea." Karen said.

"And why?" Rick asked.

"Just look at Kai's shack... It's not exactly a fortress." Karen anwered.

"I guess so, but still!" Rick tried to argue.

"We can't do anything about it now." Popuri said.

"All we need to do is to make sure that Jack stays safe." Doug added.

"Is Jack still in the clinic?" Ann asked.

"Yeah, he's still asleep." Karen answered with relief.

"Why don't we give him a visit?" Popuri suggested.

Ann's eyes widened and she said, "That's a great idea!"

"And maybe if he's awake, we can make sure who attacked him." Mary added.

In reaction, Rick shouted, "You're on that bastard, Nate's side? Figures, First that bastard Gray, who got us into trouble. Next, the guy who attacked Jack? Do you have some kind of attraction to bastards?! I can't believe you Mary!"

Mary was hurt deeply by what Rick had just said, ans she ran off crying to her house and cried herself to sleep.

"That was a little bit too harsh, Rick." Ann commented as she walked away.

"That was mean Rick!" Popuri screamed as she ran to the spring.

"You're such a cad!" Karen said as she left.

"What did I do?!" Rick screamed. But everyone had left the beach already.

A cold ocean breeze passed by as Rick stood alone on the shore. This made Rick ponder If what he did was that bad.

"Am I really such a cad? Everyone is the same about Kai. They were just eluded by that guy's charms. I must be right." Rick thought as he walked home.

Soon, the girls visited Jack at the clinic. He was still asleep but they shared stories about the times when Jack just came to the town.

"I remember when he first passed by the library, he seemed so shy." Mary said.

"But he stood up when Doug tried to buy something from my father without paying." Karen shared.

Then Ann said, "My dad even tried to hook me up with Jack! Imagine that!"

"Really?" Karen gasped.

"Yup! I remember that 'secret talk' my dad had with him."

"What memories the whole town has had with Jack, that's why it's so sad to see him like this." Popuri said as she looked at Jack.

"The girls continued to talk of the memories of Jack until,

"Please don't talk as if I'm already dead!" Jack blurted out.

"JACK!" the girls shouted.

"Jack's awake?" the doctor asked.

"Yes doctor, I'm awake. Did you get to catch those who attacked me?" Jack answered.

"Those?" Karen asked with shock.

"You know, the men who attacked while me & Nate were talking."

"You mean Nate didn't attack you?" Karen asked, but deep in her mind she thought,
"How could we have done such a thing to Nate?"

"No, Nate was in fact the one who helped me. If it wasn't for him, I would've been dead!"

"So I guess I was wrong, very wrong... I'm sorry everyone." Rick said as he entered the clinic.

Puzzled, Jack asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well, we...no... I suspected that Nate did this to you. So we tried to lock him in Kai's shed, but that didn't hold him." Rick confessed.

"So where's Nate now?"

"We don't know..." Rick answered Jack.

As Rick was about to answer, Ann interrupted, "Nate's coming back, he said so before he left."

"What?! You mean you let him out?" Rick asked.

A short pause before Ann responded, "No, I didn't."

"Then how did you know?" Rick asked with frustration.

"He passed by the inn to get his stuff, when I saw him." Ann said.

"And you let him go?" Karen asked.

Ann answered, "Yes."

"Good thing, but when is he coming back?" Jack asked.

"He didn't say, all he said was that he was coming back to protect the town."

Jack sighed and said, "I see, he's probably gonna get help from McLaren Corporation."

"McLaren Corporation?" Elli asked.

"Nate works there, he told me before we were attacked."

There was a short moment of silence, until Rick said,"Anyway, I'm sorry everyone. I hope that you'll be able to forgive me. Especially you Mary, I said all those mean things to you. I'm really sorry."

"Don't worry, It's alright now." Mary said.

As everyone was about to settle down, a large rumbling noise was heard outside. They went out to take a look and were surprised from what they saw... soliers in strange suits of armor.

They carried with them 3ft. long cannons that they tested on the trees. The trees burned in large flames, the soldiers were the scariest thing the townspeople ever saw.

And on the chest of their armor, was an unforgettable logo; the logo of IIInc.

"What are they doing here? They aren't supposed to arrive until Summer!" shouted Rick.

"Maybe it's because they saw Nate." Jack said as he grabbed his cap.

Then Karen asked,"What do you mean Jack?"

"Well, Nate warned me that If he was recognized, the IIInc. would panic."

"I don't understand..." Karen said,

"I don't either, but we have to do something!"

"What can we do against those weapons of destruction?!" Elli asked, she was very nervous as she saw those men march through the town.

But Jack was not going to let some men just march in and take the town, no. He was going to fight all he could until his last breath.

Jack stomped out of the clinic and stood in the path of the armored men.

Jack said, "In order for you to take this town, You're gonna have to go through me."

A few moments later... Jack shouted,

"Hey! Get me out of here! You can't leave me in Kai's shed! It smells like old pizza in here! Come on! Be reasonable!"

The town had been run over by the armored men, and there was nothing the citizens of Mineral Town could do... but watch. Watch as their town was seized by men they had done no wrong against.
