Rescue Mission
"Alright. Minto, Retasu and Zakuro, you will try to break into the space ship. Of course, we will send you there…" Ryou began explaining what they had to do.
"Hold it, Ryou. How do we breathe?" Minto asked.
"I agree. Space doesn't have any air!" Retasu pointed out.
Ryou groaned. "Obviously, you will be sent to the space ship. INSIDE the space ship, okay?"
"Then why do we still have to break in?"
"I meant find Purin, now can I continue?"
"Sure." Minto replied in a 'whatever' tone.
"…So, here's a map of the space ship and the security lasers. Do watch out for them, or you'll end up triggering the alarm. And here's the plan. If, however things don't go according to what we think, you will have to use your own brains. Get it?"
"Yes, but how do you know so much? After all, the aliens aren't that Kish, Tart and Pie anymore." Minto questioned.
"You are really inquisitive, Minto. Keiichiro did some research. We do have high-tech equipment, okay?"
"Fine. Do we go now?"
"Isn't it obvious? The machine is just in front of you."
"THAT'S THE MACHINE!"
"Yeah, it's disguised as a kitchen stove."
"Ry…Ryou, why…how do you expect us to cram inside there?"
"You can." Ryou smiled. "Just try."
"Ow!"
"You're sitting on my hair, Retasu."
"I'm sorry!"
"Ouch! Retasu, can you move?"
"No! It's too crammed here!"
"Damn you Ryou!"
"Buh-bye."
With that, the machine hurtled into space, landing soundlessly on the landing pad together with a weird looking plane.

Minto crawled out painfully. "Ow, my back…WAH!"
Retasu screamed as she tumbled out, landing on Minto.
"RETASU!"
"I'm so, so sorry!"
"Do you mind keeping your noise level down." Zakuro muttered. "Or it'll be your voices that are going to trigger the alarm."
Both Minto and Retasu looked a little bummed. "Well…let's head for…Containment Unit 6 then." Minto finally spoke, staring at the map.
"Hold on. You're looking at the map, yes, but it's upside down."
"Really?" Minto turned the map, then blushed. "Oh…yeah…Then it's Containment Unit 9, not 6, then! Let's go!"
"Wait! We haven't transformed yet." Retasu reminded them.
"Oh yeah." Minto sighed. "So much for agreeing. Mew Mew Mint! Metamorphosis!"
"Mew Mew Lettuce! Metamorphosis!"
"Mew Mew Zakuro! Metamorphosis!"
"There, let's hope no one saw the flashes of light." Minto smiled as she tiptoed towards the door.

"So, Pudding, how interesting is the Containment Unit?" A girl's voice echoed.
Purin looked up. "It's interesting! There's so many people looking at me, I wanna perform!"
The girl looked flabbergasted at her words. "…Brother? You sure you don't regret?"
"It's too late to get another one, so we just have to cope with the irritating kid."
"Hey! Since you find me irritating, we can make our debut with a husband and wife skit, we quarrel but in the end get back together…aww!"
"I…I'm…getting OUT OF HERE!"
"Hmm?" Purin stared at him. "Oh well, I guess we've already started the skit. But I can't move!"

The doors of the Containment Unit 9 slid open as the alien stormed out. Immediately, Minto, Retasu and Zakuro slipped in before the doors slammed, but…
"Ouch!"
"What's up, Retasu?"
"My…my string got caught in the door!"
"Very funny." Zakuro mumbled as she pressed the green button, freeing Purin.
"Come on, Purin…let's…" Minto began.
"Get out of here? I don't think so!" A voice hissed menacingly.
"Oh shoot."
"You're going to have to get pass us first!"
"Sky Thunder Wind!"
"Attack! Hurry! Ribbon Mint Echo!"
"Ribbon Zakuro Pure!"
"Ribbon Pudding Ring Inferno!"
"Ribbon Lettuce Flash!"
The two attacks clashed swiftly. "Now! Ribbon Mint Echo!" Minto yelled as the attack flew through the smoke.
"YEAH!"
"Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert…"
"Uh-oh. I think we just triggered the alarm off."
"RUN!" They could hear the aliens shouting as they charged towards the right hangar, where they had first arrived at.
"What? So small?" Purin asked when they reached the machine.
"Yes, go in! Quick, quick!"
"Sky Thunder Fan!"
The machine began to rock sharply as it hurtled back to earth. Suddenly, one thought raced through all fours' mind. Don't tell me we're going to crash land?
