Another chapter. If I write three chapters tomorrow I can finish! Yay!
Giroro stared at Momoka. "Unhand my friend." He glared waiting for Momoka to put Keroro down.
She did not.
Natsumi stepped forward and tapped Momoka on the shoulder. "I'll take him."
Giroro looked startled. "So...We really are to be enemies."
Momoka left with Tamama and Keroro.
"Unfortunately." Natsumi responded, "But I can't let you defend that murderer."
Giroro hissed, ready to defend his friend. He pulled out some guns. "I'll enjoy our battle, Natsumi." It was sure to be epic.
Natsumi smiled back at him. She was going to so beat him. Before she could start shooting at him though a new keronian ran between the two of them with a shield.
"I won't let you hurt my brother!" Garuru hissed.
"G-garuru?" Giroro was so surprised. Although he was glad his brother had come to save him, he kind of wanted these moments alone with Natsumi.
"I came to save you from this evil pekoponian. I will fight her in your place." Garuru hissed. Together as brothers they'd take her down.
Natsumi just sighed. She was going to beat them both.
Tororo knew this planet wasn't like they had been told about. That much had been obvious as soon as they were attacked.
Maybe I should leave. I don't need to help. And he certainly didn't want to help save Kululu. Eventually he got to the base where Kululu was waiting at though.
"Thank god!" Kululu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tororo. He grabbed Tororo's computer. "What's your password for the keron databases? No matter, I'll find what it is on my own."
Tororo looked at him in annoyance. "You aren't using any of my tech."
"Sure I am." Kululu hissed.
Tororo stepped on his own computer breaking it. Kululu glared at him in shock.
"So...That's why I was called down here. You wanted to use me. Pu, pu, pu. You aren't in any trouble at all!" Tororo mocked. "I should just leave."
"You're stuck on this planet now that you're here." Kululu shrugged, "So you better help me get into those databases if you don't want your life to be a living hell. Ku, ku, ku."
"Help you with what? Being a jerk? You know...I just got a great idea..." Tororo didn't fully fathom the extent of awful that was on this planet, "Why don't I join the pekoponians just to one-up you? Sell out your information, get you caught that sort of thing..."
"You're so annoying!" Kululu threw his hands into the air. Tororo smiled. Finally, Kululu was annoyed and acknowledging him.
Kululu quickly started putting pieces together of Tororo's broken computer. It might not connect to the Keron databases but if he could hack into pekoponian ones he could find the deactivation code to stop Mois's bomb.
"I won't let you do anything." Tororo sat on the computer, trying to get Kululu's attention. "Stop ignoring me! I'm your rival."
"I don't care. And you are not." Kululu glared, "I need to get her deactivation code or else she's going to blow me up-"
"Hold up, what?" Tororo was super confused. He glanced at the dead looking pekoponian on the ground. "Pekoponians can explode?" This was news to him.
Kululu sighed. "She's an angolian." Kululu explained, "I was trying to get into the databases to figure out how her body worked."
"Why you going to the effort to save her?" Tororo asked curiously.
"I owe her a debt." Kululu said simply and looked down at Mois. She wasn't even sleeping. He waited for Tororo to show that he had some morals. To help or do anything. "Look I hate asking for help, but please can you-"
"NOPE! PU, PU, PU!" Tororo then laughed in his face and stood up. "I'm going home to the space ship and safety." He didn't even wave. He just left.
And Kululu was back to square one. At least Tororo had delivered the parts for a computer. He desperately tried to hack to get a deactivation code but he could find nothing.
He wouldn't let her get down to the hour so that Giroro would kill her.
There was a knock at the base door. He did not open it. But a door appeared nonetheless as if it appeared out of nothing.
"Writing Kululu tracker did work. This pen is amazing." Saburo walked in.
Kululu froze. His old friend was here, the person who had sold him out, Saburo. He tried not to act nervous.
Fuyuki was surprised to see another human, but he didn't make himself known. Instead he kept to the background.
"What do you want, Saburo?" Kululu hissed. He didn't take his hand off of Mois's.
"Geez, you mad because I blabbed about you and your skills? I'm sorry about that." Saburo tried to apologize, "But..I have something you very much need if you want to survive. That angol girl's deactivation code for the bomb."
Kululu felt hope rise up in his stomach. Although when he glanced back at Saburo he remembered the unease he felt. What game is Saburo playing? What's his pitch? This must have been a trick, but Kululu couldn't afford to not take it.
Still Saburo must benefit from it at least a little bit. Kululu moved aside briefly letting Saburo move towards Mois.
"Put in the deactivation code." Kululu ordered.
Saburo nodded and inputted it. He smiled and moved back.
Kululu didn't sigh in relief. He kept his gaze on Saburo. "You going to tell me what I lost now?"
"You're smart. Too smart to let things get past you." Saburo laughed as Angol Mois got up. "Her bomb is deactivated but her kill aliens who put humans in danger programming is still there. I activated the order she had a while back to kill you or all people for example." Saburo shrugged.
Kululu felt himself grow cold. His greatest fear was her attacking him again. He didn't want to almost die.
Saburo had betrayed him yet again.
"Sorry. You're interesting but Haru told me I wasn't allowed to sympathize with aliens." Saburo turned his back on Kululu and walked out.
Fuyuki screamed. "I'm here! If she attacks I might die too!" Fuyuki yelled.
"If they stop killing each other, you'll survive." Saburo shrugged. And with that he drew a zipper on the wall and left.
Kululu looked ahead at Angol Mois. She was slowly walking towards him, her lucifer spear out. He could tell that her knees were buckling and shaking as if she was trying to fight against her programming but could not.
She doesn't want to kill me. He realized, with great sadness. He didn't stand a chance against her and he knew she couldn't defy her programming.
So they had to fight, whether he liked it or not. He tapped his headphones and long spider like limbs came out of them so he could quickly crawl away.
And she ran after him. He would quickly grab parts of a computer and make an energy beam to blast at her, but she would hit it away.
He was only buying time as he desperately tried not to die as she hit parts of the base everything shaking.
He didn't try to reason with her, it didn't do any good. But slowly as he ran he realized that her strategy was betrayed by her eyes. She would look where she was headed.
Ah. I get it. This is one of those loopholes she knows about. Kululu realized, just making the opposite actions as where she was going. It was like a game almost.
He grabbed Fuyuki and used him as a meat shield remembering that she could not hurt pekoponians.
Mois froze.
"Yeah. If you want to hurt me, you have to hurt Fuyuki. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu laughed. "And you can't do that."
Fuyuki cried, "She's so scary! Stop this! I...I can't deal with her." His body was shaking. He knew Mois might hurt him to get to Kululu.
And Mois's orders were pretty strong to kill Kululu. Her hands shook but she stopped herself from moving froward, shaking her head, and little tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry." The apology wasn't for Fuyuki. It was for Kululu. "You should have just let that red one kill me. It would have been better for both of us."
Fuyuki nodded. He agreed.
Kululu bit his lip. She was still in there. She didn't want to do any of this. And Mois was really talking to him or trying. She was crying, knowing she'd never be free.
I have to do something. End her suffering once and for all. She might not be a prisoner but because of her programming she'll always be one unless I severe that phone from her body. He hadn't ever severed technology from someone, only adapted them. And he knew it would be bloody and risky, but he had to try.
It would be a risk to both of their lives. After all he didn't know any way to get close to her that she would let him do that. But slowly he got one idea. An idea that would take him a lot of courage.
He threw Fuyuki out of the way so Mois could have a clean shot at him.
"Just like how we first met, huh?" Kululu teased. He hated bringing that up. It still brought him great fear. But he tried not to panic as she moved forward and stabbed him with her spear.
"I'm sorry." She said once again, trying to stop herself from sobbing. She didn't want to see herself kill Kululu. But he'd surely choke on his own blood.
He grabbed her arm as she stabbed him, desperately trying to pull himself up along the spear. It hurt and he was sure his organs were just gone as he was run through but he grit his teeth to get closer.
"It's not your fault. I know you're way too kind deep down." Kululu tried to tell her, "I mean you don't really want me dead."
Mois's hands were shaking, but she wouldn't let go of her spear. She just looked at Kululu with such pity for herself. She didn't want him dead. But you'll be dead because of me.
One of his hands wiped away Mois's tears as she didn't look at what the other hand was doing. She didn't know where it had gone.
"You're so kind. That's what I love about you." Kululu told her. He didn't know if either of them would die from this.
Mois started crying. Her crying got louder and louder but she still couldn't move. Kululu held her face as she shook. "D-destroy me. Please, kill me...The spear will go back to my chest if you kill me and you'll be safe."
"I'll protect you from all those awful pekoponians. That's what I promised myself." He kissed her briefly.
Mois could now see his other hand. It had a small little knife in it. She didn't struggle.
"I'm sorry, Mois." He apologized and stabbed her in the gut. Mois didn't care as blood ran down her chest.
She collapsed the lucifer spear going back to her chest. Kululu fell to the ground, holding his side that now had a gaping hole in it. He still didn't have time to celebrate.
He quickly looked at her chest and removed her shirt. He needed to be quick about this surgery to severe her phone from her body. It had been quite melded on, like a mass of rubbery metal.
Fuyuki scurried to the side as Kululu did this, desperately trying to cut into her with no regard to Mois's pain. He was just desperate to save her.
Fuyuki had never seen such honest love between aliens. He didn't think aliens could express love.
Would...Would Momoka and I go through this pain, take a spear to the chest for each other? Fuyuki wondered. No, he had given her up for his father.
But he did love Momoka. He really loved Momoka honestly. He didn't want to help Haru anymore. He just wanted Momoka.
Maybe aliens aren't evil. They can express emotions just like us. And maybe he could be friends with aliens too. Maybe he and Keroro could be friends.
Maybe he wanted to be friends with aliens. He no longer felt a need to control them or fear at them.
Kululu didn't care about Fuyuki's new values and realizations. "Grab me some bandages. Just help me over here. I don't care about your weird thoughts." He yelled.
Fuyuki hurried away.
Saburo smiled and clapped. "So you did stop killing each other." The cell phone was now off of Mois's body but both Kululu and Mois were very injured. It was very easy for Saburo to place cuffs on both of them.
"You're mine now. This should get my ratings through the roof."
And Kululu realized with dread that Saburo had come to see that not out of fun, but on a mission as Mutsumi.
They hadn't gotten out of trouble at all.
Garuru was a tough fight. He was a skilled sniper and with Giroro shooting at Natsumi too it was a two against one battle.
Still Natsumi managed to somehow narrowly dodge all their blows. It might have been her toughest fight yet.
"You aren't fighting to kill, pekoponian. But let me assure you I am." Garuru hissed. "This is a battle to the death. One of us will die here."
Giroro froze. He couldn't let either of them die. His brother or Natsumi. But Natsumi was someone that Giroro didn't want to die more than anything, and he felt that Garuru might be able to kill her especially with his help.
So he pulled himself back and walked over to Natsumi's side. Natsumi halted for a moment. "You can't kill her, bro." Giroro frowned, "I...I love this woman."
Garuru just stared at Giroro, his jaw dropped open. Really?
Natsumi stopped and looked at Garuru. He was Giroro's brother? So he wasn't like any normal alien. Her heart tightened in pain as she remembered about how her brother was dead. She didn't want that to be the same for Giroro. "Fight me honestly! Then I'll have no regrets if either of you die."
"No." Giroro dropped his gun to the ground and kicked it over to Natsumi. He knew she wouldn't hurt him if he didn't fight her honestly.
She looked startled, not knowing what to do.
Garuru sighed. He couldn't hurt someone Giroro cared so deeply about. "I won't hurt you either. You must be an amazing person if my brother loves you so much he'd risk his life and freedom."
Natsumi looked very frightened, not knowing what to do. But slowly she put her arm down too. She didn't want to hurt either of them either.
"I won't fight you if you won't fight me." Natsumi agreed.
Two tranquilizer darts hit Garuru and Giroro's neck and Natsumi saw her father behind them. Haru smiled as Giroro and Garuru fell over.
"That was fortunate. But I'm sure you could have taken them." Haru reminded her to be tougher.
Natsumi dropped to her knees by Giroro's side. "Don't hurt them!" She begged her father, "They aren't like normal aliens. These two aren't evil."
Haru frowned at how weak his daughter was looking, sympathizing with aliens. He sighed though. "I won't kill them. These two are pretty dumb looking, they're useless to me."
He was sure intelligence for aliens was based on how thick their glasses were and although Garuru had a visor that was not the same as glasses.
"They'll be shipped off. But they will not be harmed." He promised.
Natsumi gave a weak nod. "Thank you..." But she didn't know if Haru had done anything worth thanks.
She wondered to herself briefly if aliens were really as evil as she had always thought.
Taruru was looking for Tamama. That was his assignment. And somehow out of sheer dumb luck he managed to sneak into the main government building to try to look for him.
He saw Haru and Natsumi leaving together. Sniffing in the air he felt like Haru had seen Tamama before or had been near him. Tamama always carried the scent of sweets.
"I'm here to save my master!" Taruru was one of the aliens brave enough to actually attack Haru directly. He looked straight at Haru.
Natsumi stepped aside. She'd see her father fight.
"I know you've got Tamama here somewhere!" Taruru cried. His eyes glowed and he shot his eye beams.
Haru screamed loudly.
"Even if I die I will fight to save him!" Taruru courageously yelled like a main character. He was glowing with courage.
And Haru was shaking. Natsumi saw for the first time how frightened her father was. He dropped to the ground shaking. "D-don't kill me!" He whimpered.
Taruru was courageous, but Haru was a natural killer.
"Don't worry...I won't kill you!" Taruru tried to reassure him. "I'm not evil." He walked forward to help Haru up.
Haru pulled out a quick knife and cut Taruru's throat. Taruru looked surprised and frightened for a moment at the coward move.
"We'll dissect the body." Haru stood up and brushed himself off. "Why didn't you destroy him Natsumi? That's why you're a body guard."
Natsumi frowned. I thought I was your daughter. Not your guard. She thought to herself. Things were not as she had felt they should be.
Natsumi looked at the dead body of Taruru. She realized slowly how much she had done to impress her cowardly father who had abandoned her and her mother without a second thought. He was power hungry and cowardly constantly wanting others to help him.
If anyone was evil it was him, not the aliens. And Natsumi always saw herself on the side of right. She stood tall, no longer frightened of displeasing him. "I'm leaving."
"But you've got some work to do. We're going to torture answers out of that sergeant Keroro fellow..." Haru reminded.
"I don't care." Natsumi put her foot down. "I'm out of the operation. I'm going to continue the shield party right after I save Giroro and his brother. Not all aliens are bad. I'm out."
Haru tried to plead with her but she hurried off. She didn't care for any of his excuses.
She passed Momoka and Tamama before she left. "I'm leaving." she told them, "I suggest you two decide for yourselves what you want and think is right. Did that other guy really kill my brother? Does he deserve this? I don't know. But you choose your own paths. Nobody else should choose it for you."
She let Momoka and Tamama reflect on that as she left to go save her friend.
I think next chapter is one of the ones which is really not planned so it might just be 1000 words of generic. I am sorry.
Please review.
