Chapter 11
Weeks had passed and Jun received a message from Omoikane about a possible raid from Nagare against the Nadesico crew.
"Mrs. Howmei, I think it's time we take action," said Jun.
"I think so too," said Mrs. Howmei. "I guess we can use the deliver truck as a means to of travel…"
"We have to somehow warn the others," said Jun, "Especially warn the girl who's been looking after Ryoma's school friends…"
"We could always take her with us if they intend to destroy her home," said Mrs. Howmei.
"I guess… she could help out with you or at communications…" said Jun.
"When is it then?" asked Mrs. Howmei.
"Tonight… we have to move tonight…" said Jun. "The only person we don't have the location of is Ryoma… and his communicator is down… even if it wasn't down the enemy could have been able to locate his and hear into our conversation."
"I'm sure he's fine," said Saburota, as he came out of the freezer in a dog suit. "He might be better off staying on this colony… he sounds like he's been through enough drama in his life…"
"I guess your right," said Jun, "He should live his life in peace… he deserves this at least… a normal life…"
...
"You should prepare to leave," said Tenkamaru. The regulars all turned to look at her, she just arrived back and those were first words as she entered…
"I guess we did over stay our welcome," said Seiichi.
"You all are still welcome here," said Tenkamaru, "However I overheard two men talking about a raid to arrest all the Nadesico crew… prepare to leave…"
"We should leave now," said Takeshi.
"No… the men overlooking the house will know…" said Tenkamaru, "Especially if you leave in a big group…"
"She's right," said Sadaharu.
"Psst…" they all turned to the side window to see Saburota dressed as a tree. They opened the window to allow him to enter.
"Miss… I know this is sort of bad for you to hear… but there's going to be a raid tonight… we're planning to arrest all of us…" said Saburota, "Thank you for your hospitality however there is a possibility that your also targeted because you've helped us…"
"I know…" said Tenkamaru. There was a knock on the door, "Please go to the bedroom, if something does not sound right… leave through the window…"
Tenkamaru waited for them to all be in the bedroom before she opened the door, "May I help you…?"
"Yes… err… I'm sorry to ruin your night however you've been called into town for a doctor's appointment…" said the man.
"I don't recall having any appointments," said Tenkamaru.
"Yes… however this doctor said that he heard of your condition and thinks that he could make you walk again…" said the man.
Tenkamaru look the paper and skimmed through it, "Seven o'clock at night? Isn't that a bit late?"
"Dr. A is very busy," said the man, "Please come…" (A/N: so not original)
"I guess I can… since I don't have plans for tonight…" said Tenkamaru.
The door closed and the bedroom door opened, "I guess they plan for you not to know about the raid…"
"It doesn't matter either way…" said Tenkamaru, "They won't find anyone to arrest…"
"True…" said Saburota, "Commander Aoi is coming to us up here…"
"What about Ochibi?" asked Eiji.
"He deserves a normal life," said Saburota, "Commander decided that we should leave him be…"
"…"
"Who want's lunch?" asked Tenkamaru. "And then we could all have dinner before you all leave…"
"What are we having for lunch?" asked Takeshi.
"Sandwiches," said Tenkamaru. "We'll have ramen for dinner…"
...
"Thank you…" said Seiichi, "I hope we meet again…"
"I'm sure you will," said Tenkamaru. She placed her backpack on her lap and left the house.
"I forgot… I never got her name," said Saburota.
"She called herself Tenkamaru," said Syuusuke.
"The parcel sender?" asked Saburota in surprise.
"Yes… that was why we were weary of her at first…" said Yuushi.
"Well… our ride will be here in a few minutes," said Saburota.
Meanwhile with Tenkamaru she wheeled herself down the road and a ramen deliver truck passed her… she continued down as she near the town. She turned the corner and stopped in front of her destination. She looked at the building, everything was dark inside. The door was locked and the sign said it was closed.
"What a waste of time," muttered Tenkamaru.
...
"Come on!" called Jun, "Get on…"
Guns fired, as everyone got onto the delivery truck. Aestivalis' came out and started attacking as well.
"No…! Tenkamaru-chan's house!" called out Eiji as it was blown up and the house was engulfed in flames.
"Where's the girl?" asked Jun, as he kept swerving from side to side to avoid machine gun fire.
"She had an appointment apparently," said Saburota.
"Apparently…?" exclaimed Jun as he drove, "What do you mean!"
"She was called away for a doctor's appointment," said Saburota.
"It seems they didn't want her to be involved," said Jun and turned the steering wheel.
"Hey… be careful we don't have seat belts in here," called out Eiji from the back.
"I repeat! Give yourselves up and we will guarantee your safety!" said one of the men in the helicopters behind them in a megaphone.
"Why do I have trouble believing that?" asked Jun as he continued to drive.
"Maybe because their firing at us!" shouted Akaya.
"Liars! Liars! Liars! Liars!" shouted Eiji.
"Don't stop!" said Jirou.
"I'm not going to!" shouted Jun.
"We will guarantee your safety!" repeated the man, but continued to fire on them.
Jun looked determined as he drove through the military gates. He then skid to a stop at the docking bay. Everyone scrambled out of the truck and ran towards the entrance of the Nadesico.
"Okay… we made it to the Nadesico!" said Hari, "We can continue with our mission…"
The communications and systems officers rushed onto the bridge.
"Err… sir…?"
"Yes…?" asked Jun.
"How will we start the Nadesico?" asked Hari, "We don't have the Master key…"
"Damn it all!" cursed Jun.
...
"Sir… what are we going to do? We were unable to arrest any of them?" asked Erina. "And the security says that they've reached Nadesico…"
Nagare laughed, "But this time they don't have the key…"
"Are you sure?" asked Erina.
"Yes… it's been with me, even in the shower…" said Nagare and pulled out a pouch out of his pocket.
...
"You should really close those doors manually if you can't do it automatically," said Tenkamaru as she wheeled herself into the bridge.
"Eh…? What are you doing here?" asked Syuusuke.
"I thought you'd like this," said Tenkamaru as she held out the master key. "But since you don't seem to want it I'll take it back… I'm sure that man that I took it from still wants it…"
Tenkmaru did a 180 and was about to leave, Jun then stopped her, "Wait that's not what he meant…"
...
Nagare frowned, as he pulled out a large plastic clear key. Inside was a paper…
"What is this?" asked Nagare as he opened the key then unfolded the paper.
Erina looked over his shoulder and then screamed, "What the hell! Is this some kind of sick joke?"
Catching fishes, catching fishes
On a hook, on a hook
Pull them from the water
Put them in some batter
Yum, yum, good
Yum, yum, good
"They must really not want us to live this down," growled Erina. "She will definitely not haunt me…"
"Haunt you?" asked Nagare.
"That blasted song was created by Yurika Misumaru," growled Erina.
...
"How the hell did you get the master key?" asked Keigo.
"Mr. Akatsuki really shouldn't harass the disabled," said Tenkamaru, with a shake of her head and handed the key to Jun.
"That doesn't answer why you're here," said Seiichi.
"I thought you'd like the master key," said Tenkamaru.
"Thank you miss," said Jun, "I apologise that you have to be part of this battle…"
"I was already part of this to begin with," said Tenkamaru.
"Eh… Tenkamaru-chan… what are you doing here?" asked Eiji as he came to the bridge.
"Tenka… maru…?" questioned Jun.
"I think you should at least start the ship up unless you want to get blown up," said Tenkmaru.
"Wasn't that the name of the sender of the parcel?" asked Hari.
"Err… right… let's get out of here…" ordered Jun.
"Okay!" agreed everyone. The Nadesico moved away from the colony and went full speed ahead away from it.
"My… My… so it was you…" said Nagare as he came on screen and looked at Tenkamaru.
"Never let your guard down, womaniser…" said Tenkamaru.
"Well lucky for me I have a translator," said Nagare and called a man over. "Tell her that she will be a criminal if she does not get off that ship…"
"Miss… you will be considered as a criminal if you do not get off that ship or somehow help us," said the man.
"Is the criminal really me or is it you?" asked Tenkamaru in another language.
"Sir… she's not talking in English," said the man.
"Then what language is it soldier?" asked Nagare.
"I think it's Italian," said the man.
"Then get someone who speaks Italian here," said Nagare. Another attempt was made with an Italian interpreter.
"I really hope you understand the position I'm in," said Tenkamaru as she once again switched languages.
"Sir… it's not Italian! It's French…" said the man.
"What…!"
"But I was sure it was Italian," said the other man.
"I'm French," said the female.
"Tell her that she must stop the Nadesico or else," said Nagare.
"Miss… it is advised that you must stop the Nadesico, the ship your on, or else," said the woman in French.
"Or else…? Please continue that incomplete sentence…" asked Tenkamaru as she switched to Latin.
"Sir…! She's not speaking French…" said the woman.
"What is the meaning of this?" asked Nagare. "Then what language is she speaking?"
"Latin," said Erina, "However there is no one here that knows that language… that language is a dead language!"
"She's scary," whispered Eiji, while Hari nodded in agreement.
Soon the Nadesico was out of range for the transition to be received and the screens disappeared.
"What the hell was that?" asked Saburota in amazement.
"There are no enemy's in range," said Hari and the Nadesico was off to its normal pace.
"What you have witnessed is her multilingual ability… right Ruri?" asked Jun.
"Of course, Mr. Jun," said Tenkamaru.
"Ruri…?" questioned everyone. They looked at Tenkamaru, who removed contact lenses and revealed her golden orbs.
"Ruri Hoshino," whispered Saburota, "So you are alive…"
"Was I that transparent?" asked Tenkamaru.
"No… I would have never guessed it was you," said Jun, "However it was your name that gave it away…"
"Her name?" asked Yuuta.
"Tenkamaru," said Jun, "a combination of Tenkawa and Misumaru, correct?"
"Yes…" said Tenkamaru.
"It's ingenious actually," said Inez as she came to the bridge.
"However your hiding place was much more ingenious," said the golden eyed girl.
"Hiding under their nose is nothing," said Inez.
"Yes… it may be nothing for you however I'm sure they will be kicking themselves when they look at the security cameras," said Tenkamaru.
"Indeed…" said Inez.
"What does he mean by Tenkawa and Misumaru?" whispered Yuuta.
"Allow me to explain," said Inez.
"Get to know the Nadesico! With Inez Fressange…"
"Hello and welcome to the first instalment of 'Get to know the Nadesico'," said Inez, "Today we will be talking about the significants of the name Tenkamaru…"
"Tenkamaru is a made up name derived from the surnames of Tenkawa and Misumaru," said Inez, "You are probably wondering why these two names…"
Everyone was nodding their heads as well as everyone on the ship, since it was being broadcast throughout the entire ship.
"Well… the surname Tenkawa belongs to Akito Tenkawa and Misumaru from Yurika Misumaru… the previous members of the Nadesico," explained Inez.
"So…? What about them?" asked Keigo.
"They gained guardianship of Ruri and were planning to live happily together, however the incident a year ago happened and they both passed on…" said Inez. "Therefore, by using the name Tenkamaru, she is utilising the use of her two parents name…"
"I thought she already had parents," said Saburota, "I mean they were still alive during the time this guardianship was established…"
"Yes… however, Ruri cut her ties with them already, she did not want be around the institute she was brought up," said Inez.
"Institute…?" questioned Kunimitsu.
"That's a different story," said Inez.
"Eh… where's the captain?" asked Hari and they found that Jun and Tenkamaru were missing.
"He said that he was going to take the captain back to her room," said Saburota, "Apparently he said that the captain should be resting…"
"Ruri Hoshino's taking over captainship?" asked Seiichi.
"Nyah…! Was the wheelchair was just an accessory to be undercover?" said Eiji.
