Chapter 7 - A New face
"KEITARO!?"
The girls were baffled, they had expected him to change, but this was over the top change. They all wondered the same thing Where did this come from? "Where did you get the motorcycle, sempai?"
"Oh, this old thing," Keitaro asked pointing to the sleek harley, "Oh, here and there. I had to take care of a few things before I came, so, once again, sorry." Still there was silence. All eyes were on him. "What? Do I have something in my teeth, did something happen? Are you all leaving? Wait no don't go!" he said, and in the classic Keitaro style fell to his knees in tears, once again letting his imagination get the best of him.
"What are you blubbering about, dork?" Sara asked, seemingly having forgotten the 'incident' a couple of days ago, not to mention Keitaros transformation. Whom of course is currently sobbing on the floor. Everyone forms gigantic sweatdrops. This continues for a while, until the forgotten member of this reunion calls attention to herself. "ahem."
When Keitaro doesn't respond, his aunt, resigning herself to bring him back to the real world prepares her fan. "respond when you're spoken too, it's rude not too. I thought you knew that by now nephew." She prepares, prepares, ready to swing, Keitaro still weeping, and swing. Harukas fan hits nothing but air as it sails through the air. Everyone looks around but from what they can tell, Keitaro is nowhere to be found.
"Am I missing something here?" came a voice all too familiar. "Seta?" Everyone turned to the human gusher, who for once wasn't spewing blood from his head and climbing out of car wreckage. As normal, Naru became flustered, and started acting like, well Like Keitaro used to around her. Kitsune had her sly grin back, more out of habit than anything else. Suu paid almost no attention, while joyously eating a banana. Sara ran over to her foster father and hugged him, while Shinobu stuttered out a greeting. Suddenly, Motoko's voice rang through the air, "Good you're here. I want to challenge you!" Yet again, Motoko's challenge was accepted by Seta.
Everyone backs up, knowing that there was nothing that could get between these two fighters. And thus, the die was cast, the bets placed and the stage set for Motoko's and Seta's rematch. Motoko charged in her usual form. Seta expertly dodged with ease and stuck out his leg, hoping to either trip Motoko. Motoko, having been expecting this adjusted her sword to her right hand so the the hilt was facing forward, the blade curving inward, but slanted to the side, in order to strike Seta while rushing him. He barely dodged this assault and thus had to retract his foot. As if this wasn't enough, Su decided to get involved. No one was aware of the hidden person, standing behind them, eyes narrowed meticulously as he watched the battle.
Soon Mecha Tama 7.0 came crashing towards the pair, mounting it's lasers and stun guns. Su cheered loudly, while Motoko and Seta stayed absolutely oblivious to the impending doom. Motoko launched evil spirit cutting sword (or whatever) towards Seta who dodge out of the way, only to send a spinning kick towards Motoko. Never one to go unannounced, Mecha Tama, barged in between them, inadvertently taking Seta's fierce kick. It did little to its dense armor. "Wah . Su, this isn't a game!" Shinobu exclaimed when the giant machine launched lasers and missiles towards not only the duo fighting, but everything in its path, including the girls!
Haruka told them to run, she didn't yell or panic, she didn't even bother to look at them and was presently examining her finger nails. The girls, now knowing true fear, ran in wild directions, hoping to avoid the walking barrage of weapons. All except Su who sat on top of the monstrosity, cheering and laughing wildly. Seta and Motoko both continued their battle, completely oblivious to the chaos around them and only acknowledging Mecha Tama when they had to dodge lasers. That is until, Tama launched Su's latest invention, a heat seeking missile. It headed towards the two and, past them, the girls. Su had stopped laughing and for once was scared, she had made a Mecha Tama before, but this one had a mind of it's own; in other words, she couldn't control it. She jumped off and started running towards the girls in a vain attempt to help them all. Tears stung her cheeks as she ran, praying that they didn't get hurt.
Keitaros eyes widened, realizing that for once Su had no power over her own creation. He leapt into action as soon as the second barrage of missiles were launched, knowing that if he miscalculated one bit, he, Haruka and Seta would be the only ones left standing. Speaking of whom, Seta and Motoko had stopped fighting and were desperately trying to think of a way to subdue the monstrosity before them. But no matter how great there power was, they knew they wouldn't stand a chance. They prepared for there final attacks and prayed to kami that everyone else got away unharmed. As the brute reared up, preparing to launch its next attack, there was a blur and it fell to the ground, sparks flying every where. Of course, anyone with brains would remember that there were still powerful missiles were about to implode, taking half of japan with it.
Time slowed down as Keitaro thought through his options. There was no way he would make it to the girls, and the rockets had already covered half the distance between him and the girls. His only chance was to intercept the missiles and thry to veer them off course. Gathering every fiber of speed in his body, Keitaro, launched himself at the missiles, throwing everything he could into his leap.
Halfway there, Keitaro pushed off the ground and started going upwards. He had only one shot and this was it, this was the final test of his dedication, his endurance and his love.
