Commentary: Hey! How are you all liking the story so far? Anyways, a little interesting note for this chapter. Dafune, The duck-like alien's name derives from "DAffy Duck" and Mega Man creator "Keiji InaFUNE". Ingenius name, no? Anyhoo, on with the show!
Enjoy!-MegaDaffy
"You O.K.?" Kaname asked Sakura as she noticed that she seemed a bit nervous.
" Yes, I'm just a little scared." Sakura replied.
"Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine" Kaname reassured her.
They reached the end of the hallway and found a young girl around Kaname's age wearing a kimono and an old duck-like alien in front of a dozen TV screens. The duck-like alien noticed them enter and started talking to them.
"Ah, you must be Kaname. We have been waiting for you." The alien said.
Sakura hid behind Kaname as Kaname asked the alien creature "Who are you and how do you know my name?"
"Oh sorry, I am Dafune (pronunciation for readers: Da-fu-nay) and I know you because I called you all here, well, except for the little one here." He said in a calm voice as he pointed at Sakura.
"So then why are we here again?" Fuu asked.
"A great evil has fallen upon us. A single creature has attacked and destroyed many of the planets in our galaxy." Dafune replied.
"Well, why couldn't one of your people do it?" Fuu asked again.
"Many have tried to defeat it, but in the end they were either found brutally slaughtered or disappeared altogether. Even our best person couldn't defeat it." Dafune told her.
"Who was that person?" Kaname asked.
"That person was a bounty hunter named…Samus." Dafune had said in a normal but suspenseful tone.
Kaname was shocked; She had been playing Sousuke's game before she landed in this strange universe. "I…I…must have accidentally killed her. " She thought.
"I have called you, Kaname and Fuu, to exterminate this murderous, horrid beast and save our galaxy." Dafune said.
"But why did you…" Fuu asked the old alien before being interrupted.
"Uh you there, little one, why exactly are you here?" Dafune asked Sakura.
"My name is Sakura and I was sent to this galaxy for a mission." Sakura replied.
"And what mission would that be?" Dafune asked in a questioning tone.
Kaname handed Dafune the note from Kero that Sakura handed her earlier on.
"Hmm… Alright you can join these two for your mission." Dafune told her.
"Thank You…" Sakura said while trying to remember his name.
Dafune had continued on, " Now follow me, I'll show you what you need and you'll be on your way."
Kaname, Fuu and Sakura follow the old, duck-like creature to what looked to be a hangar for other ships to come in. On the far right edge of the hangar was a big blue-green spaceship.
"Everything you'll need is in your lockers." Dafune told Kaname and Fuu.
Kaname and Fuu walked over to their aforementioned lockers and found big, bulky armored suits like the one that Sakura had on.
"So what you're saying is that this is all we'll need for defeating this monster of yours?" Kaname asked.
"Yes, Anything else you might need for the mission will be on your ship over there or on any planet that you may travel to." Dafune answered as he pointed towards their ship.
"Shouldn't we at least know how to use these before leaving?" Fuu asked as she put her light blue armor on.
"Normally that would be a good idea, but with a creature as threatening as this it is best that you learn as you go." Dafune replied.
"So how do we know where this thing is?" Kaname asked as she got her armor on. Kaname's armor closely resembled that of Samus's powersuit.
"We have installed a tracking radar on your ship that will tell you where it might be or where it might be going." Dafune replied, "Unfortunately, it won't track what young Sakura needs though." He continued.
"That's O.K., I'll know where it is when we get close to it." Sakura said confidently.
Soon enough all three of them were ready to leave as they walked over to the ship, Kaname asked her final question, "Will you be in contact with us for this?" She asked as Fuu and Sakura got into the ship.
"When necessary, I might give you all a few pointers here and there. But all three of you need to work together as a team for this mission and Sakura's mission, O.K.?" Dafune said.
"Yeah, O.K." They all replied.
"O.K. then, Good luck!" Dafune told them before they took off.
As they left the ship/base station that they were on, Sakura became nervous again.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine!" Kaname reassured her after noticing the nervous look in Sakura's eyes through her visor.
