Pizza Palace II
We had decided to get pizza and I knew of a good place to get it.
Since my car isn't too big, Konsento had to fly with Zukin on his back.
"Are you sure we won't stand out?" Rage asked.
"Don't worry," I said, "Toni is a very understanding man. He doesn't judge."
"Even if one of us is a robot and the others a puppet?" Emi asked.
"Just stop worrying." I said, "Look we're here."
It was an unassuming little pizza place, but they make some great pizza.
We waited for Konsento to land, making sure no one was watching.
"Hey, I just realized something. How does Konsento and Zukin eat food?" I asked.
"Bzzt....That's easy. Since we have to mimic human actions, we actually have working
anatomical functions."
"Ahh, so your sorta like cyborgs, right?"
"Kinda, but less of the half human thing." Zukin replied.
"Now that we've had the daily requirement of nerd," Emi said, looking annoyed," Can we
please get some food?"
"Okay, come on."
---------------------
Inside Pizza Palace II
We walked in and there weren't too many people their.
"Hey, Toni. How's it going?"
"Ryan, man. It's been good. Who's your friends?"
"I'd like you to meet Konsento, Zukin, Johnny, Rage, Emi, and Charmy."
"Nice to meet all of you. So, what can I getcha?"
"Let's see....we'll take a Pepperoni, a Sausage, and....a Hawaiian."
"Cool, that's gonna be $21.00. I'll throw the drinks in for free."
"Thanks man." I said, "You guys go find somewhere to sit, I'll get the drinks."
The DDR Crew had found a decent sized table that we all could fit at.
"So what do you guys think about Ryan?" Rage asked.
"He seems nice enough," Emi said, "but what about what we overheard?"
"What are you guys talking about?" Charmy asked.
"When you two were sitting on his couch, we we're spying on you." Zukin said.
"What?!"
"Yeah, this whole thing about another him, and he's a Jedi? Come on. I think he's got
a few screws loose." Rage said.
"I don't know guys." Johnny said, "He was nice enough to help us and all. I think Charmy
knew what she was doing when she brought us to him."
"Are you sure? I think maybe it's because she has a bit of a crush on him." Emi said.
"Hey, it's not a crush.....he seems to like me as well, so.....but I figured he'd be
the only one that was imaginative to beleive that we we're there."
"Bzzzt...I feel that you guys are misjudging him. Let's give him more time." Konsento
said.
"Shhh, here he comes." Charmy said.
I walked over with the drinks.
"Hey guys." I said. I noticed they looked a little worried.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing!" they shouted in unison.
"Rrright...." I said, sitting the drinks down.
A little while later, our pizzas came out.
"Man, for a robot, you can sure pack away the pizza." I said, seeing Konsento eat his
fifth piece.
"Mmbph pmphmh." Rage said, his mouth full of pizza.
"Try speaking without your mouth full." Emi said, smacking Rage on the back of the head.
"Where are we going to stay, you guys?" Rage asked.
"You guys can stay at my house, I've got plenty of room and it would make that house a
little less lonely."
"That's kind of you Ryan." Charmy said.
"I agree, the best thing we can do is stay with Ryan. After all, we don't know much
about the real world." Johnny said.
Just then some kid came up and started staring at us.
"What do you want kid?" I asked.
"Hey, I know you, your the Champ DDRer aren't you? Ryan, right?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Your friends must be good at cosplay. Their outfits are so authentic, its almost as
if they are the 5th mix characters."
"Yeah, uh thanks." the DDR crew said.
"Can I get your autographes?" he asked.
"Sure."
We signed his little autograph book, and he seemed happy as he ran off to meet his
parents.
"Cute little bugger, if he only knew." Rage said.
"Right, *burp*, sorry, excuse me." I said.
"Jeez....well, let's get going." Emi said.
We got the rest of the pizza to go.
However, when we neared the door, some teenagers blocked our way.
"Can I help you, fellas?" I asked.
"Yeah, we know what's up." the one guy said.
"We know the secret." the other said.
Hmmm, something is familiar about these guys....wait, those clothes....I scanned their
jacket, looking for it......Oh Shit. These guys were from the G.U.N. DDR squad.
"Really? And what would that be?" I asked, playing innocent.
"Your abilities....."
"....and your friends here."
Something else was familiar about these guys............wait, these were my friends
from long ago.
"And what do you plan to do?"
"Take your friends and exploit your powers....." said Z.
".....so G.U.N. can become even greater." said T.
"Yeah, right." I said. I had to stop them, but I couldn't hurt my friends.
"Need some help?" Rage asked.
"No, you guys back up. I'll handle this."
I approached them and we faced off.
I attempted to control their thoughts, but it was as if their thoughts weren't their own.
Then things got worse, T managed to get Charmy and hold her hostage.
"Stop there, or she comes back with us dead."
"Why Trey? What happend to you?"
"Ha, Trey is no longer, the name is T now...the Trey you...know is....ahhhhh." T said,
letting go of Charmy and grabbing his head.
"T, what's wrong with yo...ahh!" said Z, also now holding his head.
"Sorry to do this." I said, knocking them both out.
The DDR Crew and me took off.
---------------------------
My Car
"What happend back there?" Rage asked.
"Those were two of my friends, Trey and Zoel, who joined G.U.N. and disappeared." I said.
"Okay, then why were they acting so weird?" Emi asked.
"Well, what I can figure is that whatever was controlling them was being fought at by
their real minds and caused the chaos that happend."
"Does that mean that your friends could still be okay?" Charmy asked.
"Perhaps, but it'll take a lot to save them." I said, "Let's head home."
---------------------------
My House (about 11 at night)
We had relaxed and rested for the last five hours.
Even though they may have had my address, they weren't stupid enough to try and
attack me directly.
I had woken up and decided to patrol the house.
Emi and Rage were in one of the bedrooms, sleeping on the same bed.
Hmmm, they make a good couple.
Johnny was crashing on the couch downstairs and was mumbling something about motorcycles.
The bedroom I had given Charmy was quiet, too quiet.
"Hello?" I said, knocking on the door.
Odd, she wasn't in their. I decided to continue patrolling.
Konsento was in stand-by mode, recharging by the wall and Zukin was obviously asleep,
her crown next to her.
I still couldn't find Charmy.
I walked outside and there she was, sitting on the porch swing.
"Hey, isn't a little late to be outside alone?" I asked.
"Oh, you surprised me. I couldn't sleep."
I took a seat next to her.
"The sky looks so dark, where's the moon?" Charmy asked.
"Well, a while ago, something caused the moon to move towards Earth. Strangely, only
one person stopped it. I have a feeling that my friend Tom did it. You know, that sort
of feeling among friends, a bond if you will. He saved Earth, but then disappeared to
who knows where."
"You could say he was carried away by a Moonlight Shadow." Charmy said.
"That's a horrible pun." I said, humoring her with my laughter.
She just smiled at me.
"It's about as terrible as saying we make beautiful music together.(you know, through
the 5th mix machine.)"
"That's not right." she said, giving me a light slap on the head.
We sat there for awhile, keeping each other warm.
She eventually fell asleep and I carried her back inside and laid her down on her bed.
I looked at her laying there and just smiled.
I closed the door slightly and went to my own room.
I layed down and thought about what had happend earlier today.
My friends were alive, but what happend to them?
Why were they acting differently?
Perhaps with the help of the others, I could be reunited with my friends......
