The first Encounter

Jerry finally arrived home tired, walks upstairs to his apartment, still thinking about the Redhead girl earlier at work. He was so sure she was looking at him and more sure that she followed her. However, where was she when jerry reached randy? did she suddenly walk away when she saw him talk to randy? it's possible she might be just hiding around the corner. Is jerry getting paranoid from watching all those movies? sHe could have probably walk on to a different direction altogether, 'I just tired from work, I guess' jerry thought, 'this could be stress! Ok then, No more anime for the night then, just straight to bed, after dinner then.' jerry said to himself.

He sluggishly walks up to the flight of stairs up to the 3rd floor where his apartment is. After passing the 2nd-floor landing Jerry started searching his pocket for his keys while ascending slowly the flight of stairs. As he pulls out his keys from his pocket, he looks up ahead then he suddenly stopped! "Oh.....!" he blurted out. Fours steps ahead of him on 3rd-floor landing on his the right side was the Redhead Girl, smiling straight at him.

"Welcome Home Mr. Damian Powers. I was waiting for you." Jerry stopped short standing still staring at the girl dumbfounded and out of words. "Wa...wa...wait...wait? what?" He stuttered.

"I said welcome home Mr. Damian powers, sir. Let's proceed to your home so I could assist you in drying up sir." the girl responded.

"Aa.. oh... wait that's not my name you must be mistaken, heh, that's not my name." Jerry finally got the courage to speak, feeling silly. he ascends slowly the few steps to the landing and steps slowly close to the girl.

"Oh I Understand sir, I forgot were still outside, out of everyone's hearing. I get it." the girl said Winking at him. she slowly leans over jerry lifting her hand to the side of her mouth then whisper, "Welcome home Mr. Jeremy Noph, Sir." trying to look somewhat innocent and glancing around the hallway.

"Yes now that is my name, however, you called me on another name earlier, well that's not me. you must be mistaken." Jerry said.

"Hm. Let me think." The girl said looking puzzled at him, raised her right hand to her head thinking while tapping her heels.

Confused jerry, tried to examine clearly the image of the girl she is talking to. The first thing noticeable is, She's wearing a purple cloak. The hood is down on her back, her hair Feiry red long and wavy hair down to her back. Her face freckled face is a bit pink on the Cheek, along with her white complexion. she is wearing a pink and blue blouse with some strange engraving of some sort of seal on his left chest looked like some planets with sparkling stars. below that, she is wearing a dark blue skirt over a green legging that has leafy designs on it with brown short boots.

"Oh, now I get it! I guess the skill you used on yourself did not completely work well on the last part yet, huh? well, that's too bad, Mr. jerry. I guess I will need to explain some of it to you then before we can go out." She said. "Ok then let's, not waste time! I will explain everything to you inside your apartment then." she turned around the hallway walked a few steps ahead of him, stops and facing a Door on the left.

She leaned down the doorknob. Place her right index finger on the keyhole, then jerry can see a small light appearing on her fingertips and a "click" sound. she then turned the doorknob, Pushed it open and looked back at Jerry, who is still confused back at the hallway. she Beckons for jerry to follow, walked in and disappeared inside.

Jerry shrugged his self awake head to his apartment then step inside. Inside his apartment, Jerry entered his living room looking at the girl, who is already sitting at the sofa. Jerry's living room don't Bachelors living room. The floor is mostly clean with a few specks of dust or stain on it. However when it comes to his table in front of the couch, that is where all the mess is. It is filled with an ashtray, empty bottled of beers as well as cans of sodas. He has a Couch and a sofa in front of a smart TV where the girl is already sitting comfortably.

"Come sit," she said, gesturing jerry to sit beside her on the sofa. Jerry walked to the sofa not taking his eyes of the girl this time, then sit slowly beside her.

"There we go, Where should I start? let me see hmmm.... oh, let me introduce myself first. My name is Emma Powers. you gave me my name when you saved me on Sigma Prime." She said.

"Wait. what?! I saved you where again exactly?" Jerry said looking more confused than ever. "You saved me on Sigm--."

Ok!!! now I get it." Jerry suddenly blurted out and stand up. "This is some kind of practical joke right? Hahaha, you guys got me!" he said, now his voice increasing. He laughs, looking around his apartment. "Hahaha! ok, you guys! joke is over," Jerry said while looking around the living room really expecting people to pop out of hiding.

"I should have got the practical joke when Randy did not see you back at the office, did he signal you to hide or something? earlier I mean," he said. smiling at Emma. So assured now on the what is happening.

"Oh no, I assure you this is not a joke Mr. Damian. I mean Mr. Jerry. Earlier I was so sure you would recognize me, that is why I tried approaching you. However, you just walked past me, then you suddenly cross the street to your friend. I can't be seen by someone else, so I headed straight here to greet you." she said looking at him, her left-hand gestures back toward the sofa, "Kindly sit back down Mr. Damian I can explain more. You see I'm just 8 years old when you saved me on Sigma prime. After that, you hand me over to the gallaxians (the galactic alliance rather), then 5years ago when you fall on planet Garakus we thought you were dead until we find out thanks to the gallaxians, they informed us that you traveled back here to Regenerate." She said looking at him hopefully if somehow jerry is understanding what she is telling him. "You said 'we'. what do you mean 'we'? who are you with?" jerry said trying to understand, what is going on. "Me and the rest of your Arkhons Mr. Jerry. Everyone will surely be happy to see you back."

Jerry's head is now spinning with what Emma is trying to explain to him, however, a lot of it does not make sense. "I Don't understand any of what you are trying to say to----" BBOOOMMMM! a Loud noise suddenly erupted from the wall at Jerry's back, then Emma leaps to her feet lounge straight at jerry tackling him off the sofa to the ground.

Debris was flying everywhere, Jerry covered his face and saw Emma leaning on top of him suddenly producing two Guns of some sort on each hand and started firing at whatever exploded his wall.

Tatatatatatad!!!! the two guns of Emma firing, pointed at the wall. She quickly looked down on him and said, "Sorry to cut our conversation short, we'll just continue later on our way Mr. Jerry," she pulled Jerry up and push him out the living room to the next room, while jerry still hear her guns firing at something from the wall.

Jerry tried a quick glimpse at whatever they are up against. It is still too hard to view whatever it is that blew his wall. The only thing he can see amidst the smoke and debris was some human-like figure with red lights on their eyes and a huge dark figure on the back.

"I guess the Zents found us, we need to get out off here," Emma said when they got inside the room which appears to be his bedroom. "Go where? it's three stories high out to the streets?" jerry said.

"It's ok. let's jump, there's no time, just hold on to me Mr. jerry" Emma said smiling at him.

"Wait! what?" he just finished saying it when Emma Pushed some Blinking Light thingies on her wrist, then she drags him by the shoulder and jumps to crash out the window. Jerry heard his window crash when he and Emma went through it. They are in mid-air.

"Holy SH(*#&$!!!" Jerry cursed in mid-air falling until suddenly their fall was stopped when something catches them in mid-air. Jerry's face smacked at something leathery. "Ugh." Jerry cried when his air was blown out of him, face down on the vehicle that caught them. He can hear sounds of ZIINGGG from projectiles he thinks, or whatever is shooting around them and missing them, fired by the figures inside his apartment. Taddadadada!!! Sound of Emma's guns exploded while she is half crouching taking cover and firing back at their offenders. "Let's go, Danny! cmon move it." Emma cried. Jerry turned around to lay on his back cough, felt the humming sound as whatever vehicle caught them is now moving. He hears a voice somewhere in the vehicle "Okie Dokie Emma, is that Powers? Yeah! Powers is back!" the vehicle flies away from his apartment. Jerry kept still, lies down looking up at the darkening sky showering drops of rain on his face, then he passed out.
