Chapter 4 - Other Life

Wataru and Hisashi makes it to his house and it's midday. "Well, see ya then Hisashi" Wataru said. "Uh.. want to um... go check out the comet with the others tomorrow?" Hisashi asked. Wataru's inner thoughts "Woah! I've never thought about that! Heck yeah!" "Oh um.. sure." Wataru replied. Hisashi leaves and goes back home. He calls Chizuru and tells them that Wataru's okay and that he just went home to rest. Hisashi walks back to his house. As he's walking home, he feels like someone's following him. He stops walking. Hisashi turns around to see that no one's there. He turns forward and his bullies scared him. "Woah! Really Ethan!?" Hisashi screamed. "Yeah punk" Ethan says as he pulls out a bat and knocks Hisashi out. "Alright pick him up Ryan" Ethan commanded. "Is this really what we have to do?" Ryan asks. "Yes! Do you want to join him??" Ethan shouted. "No! It just doesn't feel rig-" "Shut up.... or I'll tie you up too." "Fine". The both of them ties Hisashi up and takes him to their basement. A homeless man saw everything. "Oh my lord! Someone call 911!". Nobody was outside in the neighborhood except that homeless man. So he ignores it. The van drives away with Hisashi in the back knocked out cold.

NS STATION

"Have we gotten anything back ever since?" The President asks. "Nothing yet." Says the scientist. They look through the computer and there are no sign of life. Until their radio picks something up. It was a static sound. They don't understand what's going on or what it is. Then they hear a voice "Hello". "Did you hear that!?" It's another life in space!" The random man in the room exclaimed. "My name is Zalgots, the leader or master of the Kilmaits. If you could hear me, then I'm here to tell you that your time has come to an end. I am after your planet and will be taking over the world. I will be arriving there shortly in a few more months. Be prepared" Zalgots said in the radio. "Wh- w- what!?" The President Hiro shouted. "Aawesooome" says the random man. "Are you stupid!? He's taking over the planet!? Who knows what he'll do!" The space Scientist shouted. "Did we just contact aliens??" President Hiro asks. "I think so.." "What do we do then!?" "Prepare... we need to tell the Solar Military General this news and maybe report it to the citizens of Chamotseu." President Hiro suggested. The President leaves the building with his guards and heads towards the military base. "Have we figured out what was in the comet that created a huge shockwavw around Yaozuno?" Asked by the random man. "No. And who the hell are you!? How'd you get in the building!?" The scientist asks in an impolite voice. "I'm Doctor Pajyo. Nice to meet you" He shakes the scientist's hands. "Um, I'm Doctor Rimi. I guess nice to meet you too".

ETHAN'S BASEMENT

Ethan ties Hisashi up in the chair and Ryan watches. Ryan doesn't want to be in this situation anymore. "Alright Ryan, wake him up" Ethan tells Ryan. Ryan slaps Hisashi in the face. "Ooww!! What the hell man!" Hisashi yells in pain. "Remember me Hisashi!" Ethan shouted. Hisashi's inner thoughts "Why am I tied up!? Oh no! I want to get out of here! What do I do!!?". "Now... where is Wataru!!!??" Ethan shouted as he pulls out a knife. "I don't know! I don't know!!" "You better tell me where he is now or I'll kill you!!". Ethan puts the knife around Hisashi's neck and yells "I will do it if you don't tell me!". "Okay! Okay! Okay!!..." Hisashi grunts. "He's at his house. He got tired from doing a lot of work today so he went home to rest! Please just leave me alone!" Hisashi tells Ethan in fear. "Good boy" Ethan says. Ryan and Ethan leaves Hisashi in the basement and shuts the door. Hisashi's inner thoughts "I'm very sorry... Wataru". Hisashi closes his eyes and forms flames around his body burning the ropes. He then breaks the basement's door and escapes the house. "I gotta get Chizuru and Yuki!" Hisashi yells. Hisashi decides to use his powers to fly to Chizuru's House.

SOLAR MILITARY BASE

"Has Sergaent caught the warbots yet?" The lieutenant asks. "No, we haven't gotten contact with them ever since a random man talked into the walkie-talkie." the Captain replied. "Wait... what man?" "A random man in the walkie-talkie said No, they're not here, they've gone to the afterlife or some thing" "What!?" "Yes. So go get a squad to go check out their location." "Yes Captain!". The lieutenant leaves the building heading towards the Soldier's Rooms and calls 20 soldiers to join the mission. They join the lieutenant and head towards the cars. They hear a beeping sound. One soldier opens the car door and the beeping sound stops. Then the car explodes and the soldier dies. Nearby cars went boom too and the whole parking lot was a hell fire. "What the-!?" The lieutenant shouted. The lieutenant and his soldiers ran for safety behind a building. "It seems there were bombs planted under the cars. The wires connect to the handle of the car doors, so when someone opens them it triggers the bomb to ignite." The Soldier explained. They call the Captain and tells him the car's been bombed and takes the body to the hospital. "I think you should take the newly built cars then" The Captain suggested. "Yes sir" The lieutenant says. "But... figure out the man responsible for the bombs. Get the police into this too". They walked to the new garage where all the new military cars were placed. "Everyone! We don't have much time! Search if there are bombs underneath the cars!" The lieutenant shouted. The 19 soldiers check underneath the cars and around the garage. The lieutenant went outside and looks at a picture in his wallet. It was a picture of him and his best friend who is a few ranks under him. "Takayuki... I hope you're okay" The lieutenant says. "Sir, the cars are empty with no bombs or traps." The Soldier explained. "Ok" The lieutenant walks inside the garage and gets in the first car. They drive out slowly in four cars. "Lieutenant, do you copy?" The Captain asks in the walkie-talkie. "Yes I do, what's going on?" The lieutenant asked. "Be careful... and follow the tracker I put on them." "I Understood". The four cars leaves the military base and goes through the cliff side. They get on the red bridge and drives through it. At the end of the bridge they see the a broken fence at the cliff and a car tire print facing towards the broken fences. "Woah woah woah woah....." The lieutenant stops his car. "It seems like a car has driven off the edge" The Soldier explains. "Well no fucking shit"..

WATARU'S HOUSE

"Chizuru! Yuki! Wataru's in trouble!" Hisashi yells. "What!? How!?" Chizuru shouted. "Ryan and Ethan...". They all look at eachother. "Wait wait wait... who's Ryan and Ethan?" Yuki asks. "It's Hisashi's bullies from the other day when we first met Hisashi. Wataru fought them off and now they're pissed at what Wataru did". "Wait what... they're not my bullies.." Hisashi yells. "Yes they are!" Chizuru exclaimed. "No, they're totally Wataru's..." The room got quiet. "... Shut Up"

Hisashi and the rest makes it to Wataru's house and lands on top of his roof. The bullies are heading towards Wataru's front door. "What are we gonna do?" Ryan asks Ethan. "Break it down if he doesn't answers" Ethan answered. "Wait what!? Break it-" "Yes! Are you deaf!!?". Ryan looks at Ethan and says "I don't think this is right. What if he snitches?". Ethan grabs Ryan on the shirt and shouted "Listen to me or else I'll punch you in your ugly fucking face!!" "Fine! Fine!" Ryan replied in fear. Ryan knocks on the door. But then Ethan grabs a rock from the neighbor's front yard. "What are you doing?" Ryan asks. "I'm gonna hit you in the face with this rock if you don't shut up!" Ethan shouted. Ryan looks down and doesn't want to do this anymore. Ethan throws the rock through Wataru's window and it shattered. Ryan and Hisashi's friends look in shock. Yuki jumps down and kicks Ethan in the face. "What the hell are you doing!!!??" Yuki shouted at Ethan in Anger. "Breaking into people's house!? Are you going to rob Wataru!!?". Ryan runs away and doesn't want to be involved in this. "You fucking bitch! You're just a girl, so shut up!" Ethan yelled. Hisashi and Chizuru jumps off the roof. Ethan then says "What the- how did you escape Hisashi!!??" "What did you just say to me??" Yuki asked with a straight face. "What the-!" Wataru walks downstairs and sees his window's been broken. He opens the door and sees his friends and Ethan. "Who did this??" Wataru asked. They all point towards Ethan. Ethan's on the ground from the kick Yuki did. Wataru slowly walks up to Ethan. Yuki says in her head "Wataru, you better not use your powers!". Wataru focuses energy to his legs. He tries keeping the electricity onto his legs so they won't flow out and become visible. He releases his foot off the floor and kicks Ethan in the face. Ethan flies to Wataru's fences and smashes into them. Ethan's on the floor knocked out. Wataru looks at his friends with a serious face. "Good Job Wataru!" Chizuru exclaimed. "Wa- Wataru? Are you okay" Chizuru asks. They all look at him and he hasn't changed his face. Wataru changes his face back to normal and says "I don't- I-..." "Wait, you don't what?" "I... I don't got enough money to fix my window" Wataru smiles nervously and and does a nervous laugh. They all burst out laughing. "What?? It's not funny! I need money!" Wataru shouted. "No it's not that. We thought you were about to kill us!" Hisashi explained. Wataru looks up and says "I guess...". "Yuki" Wataru asks. "Uh, yeah?" Yuki answered. "Where do you live?" "I live down the street" "Wait what!? I've never seen you around. Can I see your house?" "What!? Oh- um- No! I mean- Not right now..." She laughs nervously. They all look at eachother "Okay I'm going home". They all flew home. Ryan goes to Wataru's house and sees Wataru outside.

"Uh.. what are you doing?" Ryan asks Wataru. Wataru then shouted "Nothin- Wait! You littl-" "No no no, I didn't break your window... I was the one trying to stop him" "Oh... did you change your heart or something? You've gotten a lot nicer for some reason.." "Well.... I became friends with Ethan because I didn't want to get bullied... When I transfered to this new school in Koek City a month ago, I decided to be friends with a bully so I wouldn't be messed with other people... So I'm not really a mean guy." "Oh I see.." "But then a few weeks later he started telling me to bully other kids or he'll beat me up.. I didn't want that to happen so I went with him and... we fought and beat up a couple of students.. Then he started being rude to me... I don't really know why, but its probably just how he is since we've been friends for a month and he knows me well." "Why don't you become my friend?" "Wait what?" "I mean, sounds like you've gone through a lot... back then, I felt the same" "Oh... well, I'd like to hear your story if that's okay" "Sorry... I'm too tired..." "Ok that's fine.. well I'll get Ethan to his house" "K. See ya then" Wataru goes inside his house and closes the door. Ryan picks up Ethan off the floor and carries him home.

THE RED BRIDGE CLIFF

"Sergaent, you and your squad will investigate this area" the Lieutenant commanded to the sergaent in the walkie-talkie. The lieutenant and the other two cars continues the path. The sergaent and his team gets out of the car and looks down the cliff. The Soldier grabs him walkie-talkie and says "Sir! We see an army car down here!". The lieutenant picks up the walkie-talkie and says "Yeah.... no shit" as he looks at the ice wall and an army car that crashed into it. Then he sees a piece of human flesh on the floor... "What the fuck"..
