Quill 5 act 5 Home
"Good work Sergeant. When we get back home, I'll make sure you're promoted when we get back home." The colonel viper said triumphantly.
"Thank you sir."
"Now, just to fire and kill all the rest of the keronian- what?"
"What is it sir?"
"Did you hear that?"
"What sir?"
"That noise you idiot! It sounded like drumroll…"
The colonel viper surveyed the battlefield. Fallen cadets were dotted among the battlefield. Few were helping the wounded. Then, behind them a larger group came from beyond the horizon.
"Reinforcements? Everyone! Re-retreat darn it!" The colonel cried. The rest of the vipers didn't need to be told twice. They turned around and started fleeing towards the base, only to be cut off by the rest of the remaining cadets.
The reinforcements arrived and one of the leaders approached the colonel viper.
"Viper. You have no right to be on planet Arras." she said.
"Tch, this is just the beginning Keronians! There's more of us where we came from." Snarled the colonel.
"Sure. Tell the general that. Come on let's go. All of you vipers are under custody of the keron forces." The keronian replied.
"Cyrara! Are you ok? Speak!" Bretete shook Cyrara. There was a flash of light and Cyrara was a keronian again. He coughed and looked up at Bretete.
"Never again am I going to trust that jerk. Remind me to kill him when we get back to pekopon."
Bretete laughed and patted Cyrara on the back, "You didn't die! That invention saved most of the cadets!"
"I suppose so. But I'm still going to kill him." Cyrara attempted a shrug and weakly stood up. "Ugh, it feels like a cannon blasted directly on the back of my head."
"Guys! You're alive!" A voice yelled. Cyrara and Bretete got knocked over by Ragugu hugging them.
"Yes we're alive. When did you get here Ragugu?" Cyrara sat back up again his head smarting all over now.
"I got worried why you guys weren't at the shop with, you know…Roxane," Ragugu laughed, "I asked HQ and they told me about your urgent mission. So I decided to close up shop and see if there was anything I could do…But it seems like you guys are done when I just arrived…"
"…Food…" One of the cadets moaned.
"Oh! I can give you that." Ragugu smiled and disappeared. He came back shortly after with his arms full of baked goods and other sorts of food. One of the cadets reached for a bun but Ragugu stood back.
"Ok. I'm charging everyone five dollars for a sandwich," The cadets looked crestfallen, "oh, I'm just joking! Dig in everyone!" The keronians eagerly dug in with exclamations of how good the food was while Ragugu looked on with satisfaction.
On top of the Nishizawa tower, to pekopon's eyes there wasn't anything out of the ordinary. But if they could see, a huge space ship floating above the tower they couldn't consider that "ordinary"…
"Thank you for coming on such short notice Cyrara and Bretete." The keronian head said.
"Just doing what we had to do." Cyrara replied.
"You can go back to your long-term mission now." They saluted each other and the ship flew off.
"What now Cyrara?" Bretete asked.
"I think we should go back to the apartment before anything else…" Cyrara replied.
They started walking back to the apartment while the sun shone overhead.
