Chapter 6: Escape Earth
In the Yuuki household, a punch hits Rito in the face. Yuuki Rito goes flying into the wall head first and smacks into the ground a few seconds later. Standing over him is an angry red faced Nana, who kneels down and grabs his neck in her hands.
"YOU BEAST! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY MOMO WASN'T FOLLOWING US!" yells Nana in anger.
"Nana! Stop!" Lala states as she pulls Nana off Rito and hugs her.
"It's not his fault Nana," says Lala as she makes her little sister sit down on the couch.
Lala has always watches out for her little sisters, cause that's just who she is. Yet, not noticing that one of little sisters wasn't right behind her is an unacceptable mistake for her.
"It's my fault," says Lala as a few tears stream down her face.
"I must go back for Momo," exclaims Lala.
"Princess, we're vastly outnumbered here, I think we need to leave Earth and get help," states the Golden Darkness; Yami.
"Umm, why is Rito's face purple?" asks Mikan, Rito's little sister as she comes out of the kitchen with snacks.
"It wasn't me…" states Yami in a monotone voice, "…this time."
"That beast will be fine," states Nana as she turns away from Rito with her arms crossed.
Riot gets up and dazed, and bruise and walks over to Nana, and wraps his arms around her waist, and says, "I'm so sorry, Nana. It's all my fault… but I know we'll get Momo back, I promise you." Tears flow down his cheek, stinging his wounds as he holds her. Everyone is silent for a moment, as Nana's face blushes and she turns to face Rito and cries in his arms. Lala watches and falls more in love with Rito, cause that's the kind of guy he is.
Rito lets go and Nana dries her tears and says, "Don't misunderstand, you're still… a beast .. but.. thank you."
"Princess, I suggest we leave the Earth and call your father. Since your gadgets don't seem to work on Earth right now we have to get to space," states Yami.
"But how? If none of your gadgets work, how do we leave the planet?" questions Rito.
"Assuming this is being caused by a damping field, my ship should be unaffected. After all, being assassin has allowed me to acquire some anti-damping technology for my ship," states Yami.
"Okay Yami-chan," states Lala.
Nana, Lala, Yami, Rito, Mikan and Celine, Rito's plant that turned into a flower that turned into the form of a little human girl because all the love Rito gave caring for it, left Rito's house and hurried to Yami's ship. Once on board the Lunatique, aka Yami's ship, the group prepared to take off. The engine roars to life, as the ship races through the clouds and finally reaches the coldness of space. After 30 minutes in space, the Lunatique was far from Earth's solar system. The group had slipped past the Leviathan, unnoticed.
"Once we get help, we need to hurry back to help our friends still on Earth," says Rito as he gazes out the ship's window.
"Mhm," says Lala as she leans her head on Rito's shoulder.
"Princess, we're able to transmit messages now. Use the comm, at your discretion," states Yami as she gets up to go chat with Mikan.
Lala, acknowledging Yami, goes to the comm and sends a message asking for assistance to her father as well as informing about the third princess of Deviluke. Rito looks over at Nana, who's now going through her dialer after not being able to do so for some time. Peke, pops out of Lala's bag next to Rito, completely confused and out of the loop of what happened in the past few hours. Rito filled him in on the recent events.
The comm began beeping, indicating an incoming transmission, so Lala opened the channel.
"YUUUKKII RIIITTTOOOO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT MY DAUGHTERS!" exclaims Gid as soon he comes on to the screen with a grumpy mood.
"I'm .. , Mr. King of the Universe," stutters Rito nervously.
It wasn't like any of the meetings with Lala's father had gone well before, so Rito had a fear of the man's temper.
"Rito, gave his all to protect his friends, daddy," replies Lala, quickly coming to her love's defense.
"..Lala… fine.. It was supposed to be Zastin's job to watch my younger daughters, so I guess it's not entirely your fault," says Gid as he sulks while thinking, why did Lala fall in love with that weakling.
Rito thinks to himself, If anything happened to Momo, I don't want him to try and destroy the Earth again.
" .. anything happened to.. Momo.. then please punish me for it, not the Earth," states Riot bravely, as his knees shake.
"..oh how noble of you boy, but relax. If I destroyed the Earth, that would upset my daughters very much. Yet I'll remember what you said, since you offered it. Haha," says Gid with an amused look on his face.
Mikan stares at Rito from across the room and thinks; my brother is just making it hard for himself.
"Rito," says Lala cheerfully, as she hugs him for his selflessness.
The conversation drifted to the subject of the damping field and jammed communications on Earth that kept Gid from being able to contact his daughters. The transmission went on for about twenty more minutes, and then ended since Gid wanted to prepare for his fleet's upcoming battle.
On the Lunatique, it was time for the passengers to get some rest. The ship was put on autopilot and the group went to sleep confident that Gid Deviluke would soon be at Earth to restore the peace.
Author's Note: Next chapter should be written soon. I plan on having the next chapter being all about the interactions of Mea, Momo, and Dan Angelite.
