Keitaro Levels Up!
Chapter 7: Second Attack! Watch out Keitaro!
-Author's note before I start this chapter: Hello, Fayte of Dysfunction! If anybody wants to, check out his review and then goes to his profile and then find SOME way to yell at him. NOT BIG ON WRITING STORIES! You say I suck yet you can't write something better to show you actually have some talent to judge my work objectively. In other words, you're an asshole... and I hope you get a bad papercut... Yeah... papercut... Phew... Sorry about that rant there. Had to get it off my chest. Aaaaaanyway... New Chapter!
Keitaro made his way down the stairs into the living room where everyone was waiting for him. He calmly sat down on the couch and said nothing.
Naru was the first to speak, "Um... Keitaro? Are you okay?"
He looked at her and said in a near monotone, "Why of course I am. Why do you ask?"
Kitsune slid over next to him and slid her hand up his leg quite provacatively, "C'mon, Keitaro, are you sure nothing's the matter?" and to make matters worse, she added in a wink.
His stayed placid and calm. "Kitsune-san... Do you enjoy this display of horniness?"
She sat back, her eyes wide, completely and utterly shocked.
He looked to Josh, "Who are you?"
Josh's glasses glinted in what would soon become a trademark way and shot back, "The question is... Who are you?"
He didn't even blink, "That is quite simple. I am unit 75411-D."
Josh smirked knowingly and announced, "Everyone, meet Gavicorp's new prototype new-age cyborg being, Keitaro."
Su jumped in, "You mean somebody turned Kei-chan into a robot BEFORE me!"
Josh nodded, pulling out his laptop and a few cables. He walked over to Keitaro and hooked in a cable underneath a panel in the base of Keitaro's skull. "As far as I can tell, every time Keitaro is knocked out, he will revert back to the other personality in his mind. The problem is that this Keitaro holds all of his memories and the other one has his kind and mostly perverted personality," he explained.
Shinobu then spoke up, "I'm c-confused... What's going to happen to sempai?"
Josh sighed and unplugged the cable in "Keitaro's" head and sat back in his original seat. "I have no idea. Perhaps I could write some kind of program to reintegrate their personalities but I just don't know right now... For the time being, you girls will just have to live with him like this," he said with a hint of guilt.
Keitaro stood up suddenly. All of the girls jumped and Naru instinctively ran to him. "What is it!" she questioned, panicking a little.
He slowly went outside, a bit mechanically. After stopping suddenly on the steps he blasted off into the sky, ready to meet his unknown challenger.
Waiting for him was the unknown challenger that had nearly destroyed him before. He floated there, covered by his long black robe, waiting to unleash as much power as he could against him.
Keitaro floated up to his enemy's level and waited placidly.
The aggresor became impatient. "Have you decided to surrender yet!"
"No."
"You are... different."
"That is false."
"Fine then. But no matter what happens... only one of us will leave here alive."
"That does not matter to me."
He growled at Keitaro and ripped off his robe. Long white hair flew out and draped itself across his face. His clothes seemed simple in their dark tones, but they bulged with unseen armor. He suddenly charged in towards Keitaro.
Keitaro moved over slightly, making him fly past. Keitaro flipped around and pulled back his fist and readied himself for the next attack.
The attacker twisted around and held out his hands and fired a massive energy ball right for Keitaro.
With his fist Keitaro flew down and punched the energy ball out into space. He then flew at his opponent with a loud battle cry and aimed his other fist.
He bent down and let the fist go over him and slammed his fist into Keitaro's stomach, then flew up and hammer-struck him to the ground.
He smirked at Keitaro's apparent weakness... until he saw a fist in his face. He flew backwards and crashed into the woods behind Hinata House. Keitaro climbed up the steps, bleeding slightly and panting heavily. Collapsing on the steps he managed to whisper, "Motoko... Go... go find him..."
Motoko nodded solemnly and unsheathed her katana. Running quickly around the house and through the trees, she stopped at a clearing where a large portion of the trees seemed to have been ripped away. She put a hand to her mouth, seeing the destruction and thinking, "Nothing human could have done this..."
She shook away her beads of sweat and walked out into the center of the destruction. She had seen before that the one attacking Keitaro had snow white hair, but the only one she could see had raven black hair. Yet... he was wearing the exact same armor...
Walking back while carrying him over her shoulder he began to stir.
"Ergh... Oh man... Where am I?" he gasped out.
Motoko said nothing and kept walking.
He paused for a moment and finally said softly, "I transformed again, didn't I?"
She stiffly nodded.
He sighed. "You can put me down now, you know..." he said with a small groan.
She let him down so he could stand and he began walking next to her. They walked in silence, Motoko keeping a ready hand on the handle of her sword.
He broke the silence again, "...What did I do? Did I kill anyone?"
She shook her head, refusing to speak to him.
"That's good," he sighed out, "I have no control over my other self so I can only hope I don't hurt anyone..."
She finally spoke, "H... How did you become this way?"
He shrugged, his eyes moving to the ground. "One night I fell asleep, and when I woke up I was like this," he explained with a distant tone.
"That's horrible," she told him, "Becoming forced into something like that."
"Yeah," he agreed with a sigh.
"Er... can you use your powers like how you are now?" she tenatively asked.
He smiled and her, "Of course. Would you like me to fly us out of here?"
She nodded with a very slight blush.
He closed his eyes and a pair of wings slid slowly out of his back, dripping a little blood. He smiled at her and took her by the waist and flew upwards and out of the canopy of trees.
Motoko blushed again and stared out in wonder at the trees passing so quickly and so far below her.
He set her down quickly on the top step. He then stepped back and waved goodbye, "I should be going now..."
"Um... are you sure that's wise?" she said with another slight blush, "There's someone who could help you here..."
He smiled at her and simply said, "I'll be okay," and flew off into the afternoon sky.
Motoko again blushed and went inside.
Woo! YAY EXPOSITION! Yeah, sorry about never getting around to explaining this for so long. But hey, it got you guys thinking, didn't it? Didn't it? Eh... whatever. Stay tuned for the next!
