Part 3

It was after school when I finally was able to get to Nagato. She was in the corner as usual but she was standing. She had the same face she usually has but I could tell something wasn't right to her.

"Nagato?"

"Something does not feel right," she said in her normal monotone voice. "I cannot sense the Computer Research Society President anywhere on campus. It was as if he was erased from this world."

I told her what had happened with those aliens next door. I explained how the President was upset over his computers being tossed in the garbage and the fight that ensued. I said that they must be stopped and came to her for help.

"I see," she said calmly, as if she knew exactly what I was talking about. "I shall need some time to prepare."

She sat down for a few minutes mumbling something under her breath. Probably some magic spell to destroy them like she did Asakura (shivers). After a couple of minutes she stood up.

"Let's go."

We knocked on the door, although we could have easily opened the door ourselves. The door was still unlocked from earlier. The Mooninites were decorating the room.

"Err, please be careful with that picture of my mother," Ignignokt said.

"Man, she's sweet looking," Err said.

"Err, that is disgusting. She is my mother"

Nagato stood in the middle of the room and said, "You two must leave this world now."

Ignignokt looked at Nagato and said, "Look Err, it's that girl that sits in the corner."

"The quiet one, huh?" Err said.

"What makes you think you can threaten us, Quiet One?"

"You've got no skills."

Suddenly the picture that Err had put up shattered and disintegrated.

"Wow!" Err exclaimed.

"That was quite loud," Ignignokt said.

"Your mom's picture is gone."

"You destroyed a piece of me."

"Not bad."

"It was not very impressive."

"I warn you again," Nagato said. "Leave this place. You have no right to be here."

"If it is a fight you are looking, then it is a fight you shall get," Ignignokt threatened. "Mooninites unite."

"Lock in," Err commanded.

The two then connected to form a larger…thing. They then pulled out four lasers, one for each hand.

"No one can escape the Quad Laser," Ignignokt said.

"Enough talking! Let's shoot her!"

They then fired one giant, slow moving bullet directed at Nagato. She then started to mumble something quickly.

"The bullet is enormous. You cannot defeat us," Ignignokt said confidently.

"Jumping…is…useless," Err added.

Just as Err finished, Nagato thrust her hand toward those creeps. The bullet was destroyed and the Mooninites went flying out of the window. They apparently called for their ship and flew away. As we watched them fly away, a strange thought came to mind.

Are they giving me the finger?

After school the next day, I went to the brigade room. As I walked toward the door I noticed a Computer Club member bringing in a computer. It seems that they heard the room was theirs again.

I walked into the Brigade room and saw Haruhi pacing around.

"What happened to those guys? They were so cool," she said. "Ugh. It doesn't seem right for them to just pick up and leave after I gave them that room."

I knew I couldn't tell her what really happened without exposing the truth about Nagato – and making Haruhi suspect the rest of us to be aliens and whatever. So, I just told her the truth.

"I heard it was a ruse all done by the Student Council."

"What are you, an idiot?" Haruhi said.

"All I'm saying is that I heard from a friend that the Student Council President wanted to play a trick on you for putting up that flier earlier this week. And what a ruse it was. It even had me shaking."

"That's ridiculous."

"I'm serious. They had some special hologram equipment that they used to make those things look so life like."

"But I touched one of them."

Okay, that one would be a bit difficult to explain. But I didn't need to. Haruhi gave up on the argument.

"Oh well," she said. "At least we got another computer out of this."

"You're not honestly going to keep it."

"If the Student Council President didn't want me to have it, then he shouldn't have had his hologram hand it to me."

In a bizarre way, she had a point, if my story was true, which it wasn't. But she didn't need to know that.

The S.O.S. Brigade was assembled in the room again. Haruhi was glowing with her acquisition of another computer. Miss Asahina was still feeling a bit woozy from the events of yesterday.

"I think I'm gonna be sick," she said as sweetly as possible.

"Relax, Mikuru," Haruhi said. "That stuff doesn't damage you unless you continually smoke."

Haruhi turned away and looked out the window. I turned to Asahina-san, who didn't feel too comforted by Haruhi and said, "For once, she's right."

There was a sudden knock on the door. Koizumi was close by so he opened the door. It was the Computer Research Society.

"Have you guys seen our President?" one of them asked.

A disturbing picture of him getting spanked with moon rocks went through my head.

Oh, how I hope this is all a bad dream. If someone's there, please wake me up now. I want my life to be normal again.
