Chapter 5: A Damper on Our Lives
Location: Schoolyard
"LALA! LALA!"
"Nana, Momo what is it?" replies Lala as she turns to face her troubled younger sisters.
"Lala, nothing's working! Our dialers won't turn on," explains Nana.
"What?" says Lala as she takes out her own dialer and tries to turn it on. Remembering what happened a few minutes before, she assumes that it must be related to that.
(Flashback) A few minutes before.
Rito turns to Lala as he gets up out of seat to talk to her.
"Lala, what are you going to…." Rito begins to say but never finishes, as Peke suddenly shuts off and falls off of her, leaving a completely naked Lala standing before Rito and the rest of the class.
"Peke? What happened are you okay? Peke? Peke," says Lala unfazed that she's naked.
Rito's face turns crimson as he yells at Lala to put clothes on and passes out.
"AAAHH.. HOW SHAMELESS!" shouts Yui Kotegawa, a friend of Lala and Rito.
Yui Kotegawa can't allow this shameless scene to go any further and jumps up and covers Lala with a towel from her bag.
"LALA, come with me!" Yui commands as she takes her to get a spare gym uniform. Haruna, Rito's first crush and Lala's friend, goes with Lala and Yui.
End of flashback
"Maybe something is interfering with all of our advanced technology," states Momo.
Nana looking at Lala, says, "Where's Peke?"
"He stopped working for some reason, I don't know why. So, I put him in my shirt pocket," replies a clueless Lala.
Rito says, "What's going on then?"
"Rito? When did you get here?" questions Nana.
"I was here the whole time!" interjects Rito.
"That's weird, how could I not notice a beast like you," replies Nana blatantly.
"For some reason, I feel like it was better when she didn't notice me," mumbles Rito to himself.
A golden haired girl in a black outfit walks to the chatting group.
"Yami-chan!" exclaims Lala excitedly.
"Princess, I'm glad you're alright, but the school is surrounded by armed individuals," states Yami; the former assassin who's living as a human on Earth.
"WHAT?" exclaims Rito.
The glass windows shatter as seven Angelitian assault officers jump into the second floor hallway. Momo instantly moves to protect Rito, just as Yami moves to protect the Lala and the rest of her friends from the glass shards.
"Princess, I will defend my friends," says Yami as she begins to transform her arms into blades.
The Angelitian officers block off each side of the hallway to prevent the princesses from escaping. Lala stares at the Angelitian wearing gold and white colored armor suit. His brown spiked hair, his ring forehead crest, and his posture all implicated him as being of someone of importance.
"Greetings princesses of Deviluke, I'm Dan Angelite, and I suggest you don't resist capture and all this will be over in no time. Don't worry I'll even let you stay with your friends, including that orange-haired boy," exclaimed the Prince of the Angelitians.
Yami runs up to the prince ready to slice and says, "I can handle this on my own princess Lala."
Pffft… a dart sinks into Yami's neck and her arms turn back to normal. Yami moves back and tries to transform her body but is unable to do so.
"What… What.. What have you done?" questions a stunned Yami.
"Don't worry, it's only temporarily," states the prince as he smiles and begins to walk forward to the group. A wind blows throughout the hallway and the Angelitians are knocked back with exception of Prince Dan. A dark haired girl with two white bowties in her hair on either side of her face, walks down the hallway with her hand raised and finger pointed.
"Oshizu-chan!" shouts Rito.
"I'm using my willpower, run you guys," exclaims Oshizu.
Lala takes Yami and Rito's hand and pulls them towards the stairs as Nana follows. Rito looks back over his shoulder to glimpse the fallen Angelitians stand up and Momo running to fight them.
"Momo! What are …" says Rito as he leaves the hallway with Lala unable to finish.
"I must fight them," mutters Momo to herself as she kicks and punches three of the officers. Weaving in and out of her opponents reach and quickly striking them. Oshizu pushes two through the hallway wall with her willpower.
Fusshhhaanngggggg…. A beam shoots out, of one of the officer's handheld device, at Oshizu, encasing her in a plasma phased captivity bubble, preventing her from escaping and using her willpower.
"Officers stand at ease, just prevent this princess from escaping, we only need one of the princesses after all," says Dan as he steps up to face the third princess of Deviluke.
"Ha, you think you can defeat me goldie?" says Momo, referring to his gold encrusted armor.
"Why don't we find out?" Dan challenges.
The officers block off all the escape routes as more officers guard the building. Momo jumps and kicks off the wall and spins to slam her heel into Dan's head, but the prince isn't where he was. Her power suddenly leaves her as her whole body tingles and grows weak as she feels an all too familiar sensation.
"Aaahh… aahahh… Noo.. please .. of my … tail," moans Momo as she falls to the floor, angry at being foolish enough to let him grab her tail.
I got to use my power regardless, I'll use my tail beam cannon, Momo thinks to herself as she puts power directly into her tail, the tip glowing bright white with energy.
"I think this fight is over, what a pity," says Dan as he holds her tail in his hand. The prince leans over and places a tranq-dart in her neck while she's focusing on building energy in her tail.
"wha.. itt.s fuzzy…" says Momo as she collapses on the floor sound asleep.
"Take her to the confinement cell and make sure she's well taken care of," commands Dan.
"What of the others?" asks Dan as he turns to his first officer, Tieran.
"The other's got away; the one with the big bust used some sort of super speed," reported Tieran.
"Very well, it's not like they can get off the planet with the dampening field in place. Wrap things up here, Tieran. I'll be heading back to my ship," exclaims Dan as he turns and walks away.
"As you command, my Prince," replies Tieran.
