Uhm..I really have to say something important.

IMPT A/N:

Recently I received a message asking me if I copied this idea from another story. That story apparently has a similar title and it features Neptune as well, just like mine . I am not too sure of the plot…But I have to tell all of you that I DID NOT steal this idea… This popped into my mind at random…I swear.

I do see that it as a very weird co-incidence that someone had a similar idea and even used the same planet as me.

Okay let's just use logic here. If I did steal this story then don't you think that I would be smart enough to at least change the planet!

SO I hope you believe me.

And to the author of that particular story- I promise you I didn't even read your story honest… And also I have to say that I understand how you feel. I mean it must feel awful to think that someone stole your idea and are getting the credit for it. I appreciate you having asked me so nicely IF I did and not claiming that I had stolen it FOR SURE…

Literally, Out Of This World

CHAPTER-3

Discovered

A year passed since Alice landed in Japan. Over the course of time, she really got close with the people living there, especially her neighbor Shun. Things were extremely peaceful and she was starting to wonder whether it was the calm before the storm…And she was right.

Somewhere in the orbit of Mercury there was a camouflaged spaceship. It belonged to the Apocalypse Knights.

"The girl with the Eutonia* crystal has been spotted in quadrant 4032 of the Earth's land." reported a lady, in front of a big computer screen.

"She appears to be mingling with some of the native species of Earth with no problem." said another.

"She seems to be concealing her powers and true appearance."

"I see…But you have to admit she was very good in concealing herself…She mislead us and caused us to sweep a clean search through all the quadrants of all planets in this solar-system…But she can no longer hide. We will take her back at all costs…. Dispatch the Attack Robot mark 700." ordered the general of the ship.

"But sir…That prototype wasn't tested yet…"

"Well, then it will be….Now." said the general in a sinister tone.

His assistant was a bit taken aback but followed orders. She typed commands on the keyboard and made the required arrangements.

Unaware of all this Alice sat on the grass in school, talking to her new found friends.

Shun, on the other hand couldn't help but gaze in Alice's direction every few minutes or so. He started noticing that he was getting a bit addicted to watching Alice and her strange behavior. Her smile was something that lighted up his heart and every moment he spent with her was priceless.

Wait a second…What if Runo is right? Could I really have a crush on Alice? He thought alarmed. But the more he thought about it, the more he got accustomed to that idea and the more he started to accept the fact.

Presently he took a deep breathe. That's right…I really do have a crush on her. Geez, I wonder what she'll think.

He turned to Alice and she picked that exact moment to look at him as well. Their eyes met and a smile lit their faces.

That night Alice was in Shun's house, maid duty. Well, she had to get paid. She put the library back in order and dusted all the books.

"I will get going now." She informed as she bowed and flashed a smile at Shun and his grandfather before going on her way.

As she went out of the house the crystal on her neck released a strange but strong energy pulse. Her eyes widened as she felt it. She looked up at the sky and saw a strange blaze of green light right near the Canus minor constellation.

In the moonlight, her hair and eyes were all glittery again.

"No…" she whispered. She clenched her fist and ran towards the park. Her glittering hair sparkled in the darkness. She sat down under the slide in the park.

"I wonder….Just how long I have before they find me?" Her spaceship had encountered some problem so running was no longer an option.

She sensed something behind her. With her eyes she spotted a massive robot made with shiny black metal. It had a red light sparkling where its eyes should be.

It bleeped and Alice's life force was detected by the bionic robot.

"Hiding is NOT an option I can afford at the moment.." And as she said this her eyes glinted an azure blue. She stood up from her hiding place and walked towards the robot. She had a strange look on her face.

"You are going down."

As she neared the robot, their size difference was that of a gorilla and a kitten…But her eyes were unfazed.

"Exterminate." The robot mechanically said.

"Oh we'll see who exterminates who." And with this Alice raised her arm. It had turned into a huge blade.

Her hand was transformed into a razor-sharp sword-like thing, thus was the power of MORPHING.

She was able to transform any part of her body into the weapon of her choice.

She charged towards the robot with her weapon. A fearsome battle raged on. In the end the robot was reduced into nothing but scrap metal. Alice was injured a little in the process but none that affected her majorly.

"Now, they know where I am…This is bad, and I am unable to contact William as well…What will I do? They will keep sending more and more of these robots here." She wiped the blood that escaped her mouth. And with that she continued on her way.

"What happened? Don't tell me the attack-bot700 failed." shouted the general.

"I am sorry sir…But apparently it has…The girl, she was able to use her Morphing ability flawlessly this time. This will cause us a lot of trouble."

"You think I do not know that Deputy?" he roared to his assistant.

"Perhaps we should send more…." She suggested a bit timidly.

"Oh we will send more alright... A lot more…You will not escape HY990, Alice Gehabich." He brushed his blonde hair out of his face…He gazed at the screen that flashed Alice's battle with the attack robot.

"Uhm.. Masquerade sir…The preparations for the 12 robots are underway." informed an officer, with a salute.

"Good, let no delay come in the provisions."

"Yes sir."

The next day at school Alice was so fidgety. She was extremely jumpy and unnaturally silent. Everyone was worried about her. Shun watched Alice, who was nonchalantly staring at her food. He approached her.

"Is everything alright?" he questioned.

"More or less." she replied stirring the rice with her spoon.

"I am not convinced." He stated sitting down on a chair across from her.

She sighed. "I should have figured that you wouldn't believe….Don't worry though Shun…Everything is fine."

"Is that so?"

"Yes." She then flashed a smile at him and he couldn't help but return it.

He lay his head on his arm and stared at her.

"I wonder why…you are so…different from all the others."

She looked alarmed but he smiled and added. "Not that it is a bad thing…I just wonder...That's all...But I kind of like that strangeness about you."

And immediately a trace of pink crept on her cheeks and she blushed.

But she could feel the crystal in her neck pulse painfully…

Something is just not right. She thought as she gazed up at the sky.

"I…I have to go now Shun." She said before running as fast as she could to the girls locker-room.

She opened her locker, took out bag and searched it thoroughly. She took out the silver orb that she found that day, the one that contained William's message. She fumbled with it a little and then something shaped like a triangle popped out,

She looked at it and a smile appeared on her face.

"Perfect." She muttered as she pocketed both the triangle and the orb.

Oooooooooh Just what is that triangle I wonder…DO you wonder as well? Read the next chapter to find out.

Another chapter done Yay!
