Love Lasts Forever
Chapter 5: The Soul Has Left
Previously on Love Lasts Forever: Hamtaro finds Penelope, who has been wandering after them, and encounters the winged Shadow beast, Kamikuro. As the beast lets its full energy off and charges at Pashmina, Dexter rams in front of her and gets knocked himself! In this chapter, the gang finds a way to restore this creature to ins normal state, but loses one of their own. Little do they know, they will encounter their lost loved one again.....
" NO!" The gang was stunned as Dexter was knocked out of sight by Kamikuro as he flew over the terrified and stunned form of Pashmina and Penelope clinging to each other. Hamtaro bolted into the woods, with Boss and Stan following close behind. Soon, they came to a tree with a large crack in it, and Dexter laid at the bottom of it. Hamtaro ran up to him and said, "Dexter! Dexter, are you okay?!" Dexter looked at him for a moment, and then Boss said, "Don't worry! I'll carry you!" He was just about to pick him up when Dexter said, " I-It's too late.....Just go. I'll only drag you down. Tell Pashmina that.....I'll always love her." Then, Dexter of the Ham-Hams passed away without another word.
Hamtaro, Boss and Stan walked sadly toward the others. Pasmina forced herself up and said, "W-where is Dexter??" Hamtaro looked up and said, "He told me to tell you that he'll always love you." Pashmina was shocked, and burst with sadness and frustration. "Why?!" she cried. Bijou ran up to her and held her in her arms. " It's okay, Pashmina! He's in a better place!" Bijou looked up at Hamtaro and said, " I don't want this to happen again!" Then Bijou and the others joined into Pashmina's crying.
" You're too late!" A cold voice called above them. It was Kamikuro, the winged beast whom had killed Dexter. Hamtaro shouted, "You won't get away with this!!!" Kamikuro shouted, " I already did! Don't worry! We'll meet again!" And he flew off into the darkness. Hamtaro teared up again, and ran in Kamikuro's direction. Then, he felt a paw grab his paw. It was Bijou, who said, "No Hamtaro! It's ridiculous to go onto him in anger! He'll kill you....And I'll lose everything...." Hamtaro frowned and stopped running. The others caught up and Bo said, "Come on, we might as well continue on the road." They lighted some small twigs for torches, and ran off in one direction.
Next time on Love Lasts Forever: The gang will find a hamster who says he knows a good route that is faster to the mountain, and he can give Hamtaro troops from his village! Is this hamster really trustworthy, or is he one of the others.....?
