Uhh another chapter? Got kind of lazy at the end. But only one chapter left after this!
Fuyuki didn't want to be all alone in the base. Keroro had left to go save his friend along with Giroro and the two of them hadn't returned yet. Kululu and Angol Mois had been kidnapped.
And he was all alone.
He held his broom tightly. He wasn't as strong as he used to be. He didn't have his political power or house. He didn't even have a gun.
He was just a frightened weak boy. And he missed Keroro wondering where he was.
He knew Keroro would inevitably leave the planet once he had his whole platoon, but perhaps that was for the best. Maybe that was safer for him.
Fuyuki wanted to make it up to him for the horrors he had put Keroro through. He regretted all of it after getting a brief small taste of his own medicine.
Being a pet was dehumanizing. But now he was feeling better.
I'm a human. Fuyuki recalled. I don't have to be in hiding. He could find Keroro and make it up to him for all he had done, save him from the trouble he had likely found himself in.
He still had the keroball and Keroro had tried to infiltrate something very tough. He wasn't the smartest, strongest or even most skilled guy around so Keroro definitely needed help.
Fuyuki smiled. This was his last moment to prove himself as a friend. He'd save him.
So he left to face his fears, his father and the building that Keroro had infiltrated that had imprisoned him.
Haru had Keroro strapped to a table, trying to decide what to do with him. Apparently Keroro didn't have any useful qualities so he was just disposable like Giroro and Garuru had been.
Tamama held Momoka's hand trying to stop himself feeling guilty about what he had done. He had saved Keroro before and Keroro hadn't thought anything of it. He was just trying to be a true friend to Momoka by getting revenge on the person who had killed Fuyuki.
Still he wondered if what he was doing was right. It didn't feel like it was meant to be. I'm a horrible subordinate and a friend. Just because he didn't love me I betrayed him and let the pekoponians take him. Tamama sniffled. He was awful and selfish.
He had always been jealous, desperate for Keroro's affection, but this was taking it too far.
"He'll get what he deserves soon enough." Momoka hissed, "We'll make up for Fuyuki's death."
Haru recalled that he had to find Fuyuki. Last time he had heard the boy had somehow taken Angol Mois as a hostage and escaped. Perhaps now that Natsumi was gone yet again he could try winning Fuyuki over to his side again. He needed at least one child after all.
"I've got it!" Haru smiled, "What we should do to him. Let's meld his body to some sort of bit of technology, programming it and trying to make another alien soldier like Angol Mois."
Now that Angol Mois had escaped her programming after all they needed to figure out how to do it better. Keroro could be the guinea pig for that.
"I...I don't like that!" Tamama finally expressed his discomfort. "How about just a life sentence in jail?" Tamama begged, "Let's not hurt him..."
Haru's mouth drew into a frown. "If we can't use him I can use you. May I remind you you have no opinion or voice in this discussion. You're just a rotten alien." Haru told him. "So...Perhaps it would be best to use you in an experiment too."
Tamama gulped but Haru walked closer as if he was actually going to do this. Tamama walked backwards until his back hit the wall and he desperately tried to get away.
Keroro's body shot up as he woke up. His eyes adjusted to the light and he saw Tamama, his private in trouble.
"No." His voice was firm. "Don't you dare hurt him." It wasn't a threat. It was just a command. But it didn't carry the usual incompetence that Keroro usually had.
And for some reason Haru's body froze. A blinding light shined from Keroro's body as he stood up and shined his star on Haru.
"W-what is this...I can't...I can't move." Haru tiredly tried to move, but he could not. Momoka couldn't either.
"The power of the Keron star." Tamama realized with awe. He had only seen it in action a few times, Keroro seemed to drain it, but when Keroro actually used it...He was amazing. He's saving me yet again. Even though I don't deserve it.
Keroro jumped off the table and moved towards Tamama.
"N-no..." Tamama didn't know if Keroro was going to take revenge on him for capturing him or help him. Either was bad. "I...I don't deserve your help. I betrayed you because I was selfish."
"You were helping your friend Momoka. And I did leave you here." Keroro agreed. Talking to Tamama seemed to snap Haru out of his trance for a moment.
His hand shot forward to slap Tamama away, but Keroro took the hit for him. He fell over onto the ground.
Momoka's eyes widened. "No! He's helping Tamama right now!" She grabbed Haru's arm, "I...I don't want this. I want revenge on Fuyuki's killer, but perhaps I was wrong..."
Haru flung her away. "I've come to far to have everyone abandon me. Perhaps sergeant Keroro does have some uses. That star is very interesting."
"STOP!" Keroro yelled. Two commands with the Keron star was pushing it, but Haru froze again.
Keroro grabbed Tamama's hand and glanced at Momoka. "Come with us. You helped me too. We have to get away before he hurts you too! He seems the type of commander to even abandon his own race."
Momoka's eyes widened. Was that what had happened to Fuyuki? Keroro seemed to kind to actually hurt him. Was it just Haru's lies.
She nodded.
"But...I don't deserve your help..." Tamama reminded.
"Oh shut up, private. I forgive you." Keroro sighed. Tamama shut up and the three of them tried to run out the door.
Haru recovered and ran after them. He grabbed a gun ready to blast them down.
"N-no! You can't hurt Momoka! And...The sarge I suppose!" Fuyuki ran down one of the halls and shot Haru in the leg with a gun. It was the first time he had used a gun on a human.
He dropped it in surprise and yelped.
"Fuyuki?" Momoka asked in surprise.
Keroro stopped running for a moment as Haru screamed in the background. "You...You saved me..." He didn't expect for Fuyuki to actually grow, to try to do something good.
"I did. Because we're friends." Fuyuki gave a small smile.
Keroro gave a large grin. He was so happy. He jumped up and down in joy.
Momoka threw her arms around Fuyuki in a hug. "You're alive!"
"I was never dead. Somebody lied to you." Fuyuki glared at Haru in the background, "I'm sorry for using you Momoka, I do care about you more than aliens. I...I really do love you."
Momoka just hugged him tighter. He was here now. There was nothing else she needed except safety from Haru.
Natsumi was long gone from Haru's establishment. And she had one goal to right her wrongs and save Giroro.
It was pretty easy to find where he was- Mutsumi's game show. When she was a young girl she had enjoyed the romantic aspects of the show and gorgeous editing. He was her hero. But now that she saw how wrong things were in her world she saw it as more of a disgusting bloodbath.
She marched into the TV studio.
"N-natsumi?" Giroro looked surprised. They were about to do another challenge. This time it was a swimming in a lake challenge to save your love interest.
"Give him back." Natsumi ordered Mutsumi. She didn't see Mutsumi's face.
"What?" Mutsumi asked.
"Giroro and his brother. They don't deserve to be here." Natsumi hissed.
"Actually I'm fine here." Garuru said quickly, glancing at Pururu. If Natsumi saved him and Giroro but not Pururu, Pururu would be as good as dead. And she was his platoon mate too. He needed to protect her as well.
"No. They're contestants." Mutsumi told her.
Natsumi grabbed him by the hem of his shirt and pulled off his disgusting mask. "Saburo." She realized.
Saburo hissed for a moment. "So you've found me out."
"I didn't know you were as ugly under that mask as you were over it." Natsumi growled.
"You can't have him back. I own his contract." Saburo told her, "He's mine for life. And you can't attack me, it's against the law. You'll be killed."
Natsumi stomped her foot for a moment. She wouldn't give up on Giroro though. He hadn't given up on her. She rubbed her forehead. "Fine." She agreed. She walked over to Giroro and pushed him into the water.
"Natsumi, why?" Giroro cried.
"Then I, a human, will be on your game show. I'll make sure Giroro wins and survives." Natsumi glared, "And there's nothing against the law that says a willing human can't be on your show." She hissed.
Saburo gulped. The audience was sure to hate that. They didn't want to see a human constantly lose and be dehumanized.
"There's nothing you can do about it. It's my choice to risk my life." Natsumi smiled.
"Giroro already has a partner!" Saburo said desperately and pointed to Sumomo.
"I'm his partner now." She put her foot down, "And if I die here the blood is on your hands. This show will be shut down forever."
Saburo's eyes widened in surprise. And Natsumi dived after Giroro to save him. Pulling him out of the water and avoiding the obstacles she smiled.
"I guess we will be on the same team after all." She whispered.
"You came here for me?" Giroro asked in surprise.
"It wasn't right to leave you. And I have to save the alien madly in love with me, right?" Natsumi teased, "You wore me down."
Giroro blushed shyly.
As Saburo expected, the audience hated the new addition of Natsumi to the game show. They begged for her to be taken out but none of the security guards could beat Natsumi to drag her out. She was tougher than them.
Nobody wanted Natsumi to die, so nobody voted for Natsumi. Garuru and Pururu's team was starting to lose because they just couldn't compete with team 'Gironatsu'
What was worse was that Natsumi was even trying to humanize the aliens. She was talking to them and trying to make at least somewhat friends.
Knowing that she wasn't the frightened type she approached Angol Mois despite how much the rest of her population was afraid of her. Mois looked the most human out of everyone after all.
"Did you ever think for a moment that this would happen to you when you came to this planet?" Natsumi asked.
Mois shook her head. "No. If I had known I wouldn't have warned you. Your planet was just supposed to be a little hiccup on my road of planet destroying. Maybe my mistake was coming five hundred years early and instead of working, sleeping." She sighed.
"Sleeping?" Natsumi asked. All the textbooks had said that in those five hundred years Mois had trained.
"I like to take naps." Mois admitted sheepishly. Natsumi smiled. She wasn't nearly as frightening as she had been told.
"If you're so tough..." Natsumi whispered quietly sitting by the girl's side now that the two of them didn't seem to dislike each other, "Why don't you use your spear to break out of here?"
"I'm weak. I can't really stand up straight, I keep getting dizzy. I just went through a terrible surgery." Mois admitted, "And...I haven't used my spear for myself in the last thirty years. I suppose in a way I'm afraid that if I touch it I'll have to follow it's commands. Will Kululu's blood still be over it?"
Giroro glanced at Natsumi. It was rare to see her making friends. But he supposed she had said she was Koyuki's friend too. She liked being friends with violent sort of people.
"I still want to defend my planet, to save it, but not in this violent way." Natsumi admitted, glancing at Giroro. "But...If I keep you steady can you break out of here?" She asked Mois.
Mois nodded and Natsumi helped her stand up. As the girl balanced on her shoulder, Mois summoned her lucifer spear.
"Armageddon!" She smiled, "1/1000000000000" She hit the ground of the studio as Saburo was announcing the losers.
"Pururu and Garuru."
And the studio broke, making Pururu and Garuru narrowly dodge a bullet. Saburo screamed as his life's work broke down around him.
"Later loser. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu jumped over to Mois.
Garuru grabbed Pururu's hand. "Let's head to the ship. We need to leave this planet." All he cared about was Giroro's life.
Giroro nodded.
Tororo managed to pick them all up in the ship that he was piloting. "Took you long enough."
"New recruit Tororo, where is Taruru and Zoruru?" Garuru asked.
"Sensors say they're dead." Tororo didn't look pleased.
Shock crossed Garuru's face. So two of his platoon members were dead. "We have to leave this planet. If we don't we'll die."
Kululu nodded. He wanted to be as far away from this planet as possible.
"No! I'm not leaving my home!" Natsumi cried.
Garuru glanced at her. "You're a brave pekoponian, but we will deposit you back to your home world."
"No." Giroro shook his head, putting his foot down. "I'm not leaving without Keroro and Tamama." He needed to save his last two platoon members. Mutsumi's game show was behind them but who knew what kind of horrors Keroro and Tamama were facing?
Kululu looked like he didn't care.
Garuru sighed. "Fine. I would not want to leave sergeant Keroro here either."
So there would be one last battle. The battle to save Keroro.
