Chapter 2 Survive the space creatures

When I saw the outside on the display. I realised that we are in the inter stellar outer space

"How? When? Just what did happen to us?"

I started to move myeyes here and there to search for answers.

"Hey, kirakun, just wait and calm down for once."

"Riruru san"

She was, contradicting me, very calm.

How does she so calm. Does she realised our current situation.

"Relaax a bit kira kun. In such a situation, panicking is the worst thing you should do."

"Riruru San, just where are we now? How did we get here."

I asked.

"Well, I also don't know in details. But let me tell you all I know."

"Yes, please tell me.?

She started explaining.

"Well you know, at that time when we were in the ship on earth. I was watching the metal piece, then it suddenly start glowing and spinning around."

"Then after that everywhere start to glow and th ship start flying. It move with so much speed that in instant we leave from earth'atmosphere and came here."

She said.

"So that blue planet on display is not earth, isn't it."

I asked.

"Well yes, when the ship start moving l, I saw you were sitting on the pilot seat. When I came close, you were unconscious. So I tried to wake you."

So that is what it was. But how did the ship start.

"What we should do, Riruru San."

"Well, you know, in this time. As adults we should first observe our surrounding and be certain about our condition."

Wow, she is really an adult.

"So first we should think why did the ship start.

" According to you explanation, maybe you accidentally you accidentally switch on the ship by that metal piece or may be I accidentally did something....."

"Waaa... Aaaaa.....aaaaa"

She suddenly started screaming. Whoa, she just now told me to relax and now she is screaming with feat.

"Calm down, Riruru San. You are the one told me that. And now you are. Just at what are you reacting at."

I said amd turn my head to the holographic display.

"Whoaa.....This is.... Are we gonna die."

There waswas a huge monster coming toward us. It was a monster with a huge octopus like head with lots of tentaclewith couple of paired Wings from the base of its head.

There are radiation of some wierd colours radiating from it's Wings and tentacles.

"Kira kun, what was that? What we should do? It gonna gobble up whole."

She screamed.

Well with it's size it can gobble up pretty easily. It's head os twice as big as the whole ship.

"Riruru San, are you sure that, that thing is real."

"Huh"

"Well maybe it is a display error. Or maybe, it is just an old recording of a Sci-fi movie."

"Just think about this Riruru San, there is no way monster like that exist in space."

If I try to make it more believable then it start like I am escaping reality.

"Wow, you suddenly turn into an optimistic one."

She said

"Now when you daily it like that, even to me it start to feel unreal."

"Maybe we are just on earth and all that thing on display was just a recording. Well I saw the flying and space travelling int also."

Wow, she ride on with my imagination.

Then I should also

"Yeah, isn't it. Moreover, no living creature like that can survive in space without air "

I said

"You are right. I didn't even hear a news about founding clues about creatures living in outer space."

She replied.

"And if that living thing is actually real, all we can do is to wait and die here."

"Yeah.....aah!what! Wait kira kun."

"We are in the middle of space. There is no way anyone gonna show up to rescue us."

"Oi oi oi, just stop it. Where did the so optimistic kira kun gone. It didn't even feel like joke."

"Or maybe we are already dead and this is all the afterworld."

"You..., you finally dropped the bomb shell.

Don't so casually kill us you idiot."

"That is why, it cannot be possible for it to be real. Ha ha ha....."

I looked at her with a smile. At this time, she would be impressed by my logical reasoning.

"Don't 'hahaha' me. And what with that smug face. You didn't had solved anything."

'Thud'

"Whoaaa...."

As we are busy in our own world, the ship start bumping and the inner lights start blinking. That creatures came very close to our ship amd it's tentacles are wrapped around our ship.

"Oi, kira kun that thing, pretty real isn't it. You stupid delusionalist."

" What we should do, Riruru San? We are gonna die? This time we are guaranteed gonna die."

I got panicked and frightened.

"Wait, first get away from me you idiot. Why are hiding behind a woman."

Actually, I was on my knees, hugging tightly around her waist. Well it may be uncanny but you know even I want my last moments to live close to a girl.

"Don't lose hope, you idiot. May be we can do something. May be fight them with weapons or just run away."

She said.

But rather her words I realised something. Even she is saying to get away, she is somehow, also clinging to me.

I can sense her hand vibrating with fear on my face.

Up till now, she was just acting tough. She was also scared.

Well, Riruru San it's not like I am losing my hope but what can I do now.

Even I also want to do something and save you. Like a hero, like an overpowered protagonist from those manga stories.

I made up my mind. Yeah, rather than just frightening so uncanny, I should do something to be a hero.

But what should we do. Search your brain, a space ship entangled by an alien's tentacle. What should we do, or moreover what can we do in such a situation?

"Yeah, may be that thing can be a deal."

I got an idea.

"Kira kun."

"Full throttle, may be we can do that."

I shouted with full confidence. Riruru San I will save you and then you will say 'you are si great , I love you kira kun. Smooch.'

"Ki... .hihihi..hih"

"Well, I don't know what you are talking and giggling about. But first, can you first move away from me."

Ah, I was still wrapped around her. I stood up at once, and move to the control panel.

"Riruru san, you go to that place and do what you did when we were in dome."

I asked her to repeat what she did back then and I also start pressing buttons at random.

"What are you planning, kira kun. I didn't recall doing anything special."

She asked about my plan.

"Well you said, that the ship suddenly start and bring us in space in an instant."

"Yeah, I said. So what?"

"That alien is not known to earth a bit. It means that this place is lot far away from earth. If it moves here from earth in an instant, then it means the ship is very powerful."

"So, what with that?"

"It means if we make it full throttle, we .ay breakfree from it's tentacles and atheist escape from that thing. Maybe for now at that planet."

I explained my full plan while pressing the buttons at random.

Come on, start moving already.

"Wow, despite of that uncanny act earlier you suddenly become so dependable."

"Well, you can kiss me as a thanks later if we manage to survive."

I grab the opportunity and ask her for the kiss.

"Huh, whats with that condition. But well okay, if we actually manage to survive a kiss or two is not that of a big deal."

Yeah! I got an confirmation. But for now,

Come on, what's wrong with this ship, just move on already.

It didn't move a bit and it's power start to decline qs the inner lights becoming more and more dark.

"And what if the ship shatter with so much pressure."

"Well in that case, the answer is simple."

"You already have a plan for that case also. You become dependable again."

"Yeah, you can slap me in case we die."

I said with all my concentration on the control panel.

"What with that! Why does your dependability so short lived. If you make a plan you need to make it success with responsibility."

With such a conversation we are moving our hands. But it is like the ship don't want to do mercy on us.

Why didn't it is moving. What was different from back then. I was trying my best to remember, then my eyes suddenly fell on thebsteering bar.

May be that was it, but at that time it didn't even budged.

'BAM'

As I was in my thoughts, the ship bumped againand the lights disappear completely.

"Kira kun"

She screamed in darkness.

Well, anyways. This is do or die.

I grabbed the bar, flinched my eyes and pulled it with all my might.

But as I thought, it didn't budged a bit.

(So, it's all that is. Is this the end.)

I closed my eyes.

'Zap'

"Whoa! What was that?"

As I was about to lose hope, a shock wave flown through my whole body.

As I was wondering what happened, suddenly power rushes throughout the ship as all it's light turn on brightly.

"Kira kun, you really did it."

"Yeah, Riruru San. Maybe there are some sensoron this bar."

I tried to pull the bar to accelerate the ship. The bar is as it is may be it is an immovable type. But the ship starts accelerate.

Something poped up on the screen with drawing of thrusters and some wierd characters below it. May be it is a number for power of thrusters as it was changing rapidly.

"Yeah it is working, Riruru San. Maybe this thing here showing the notification of thrusters."

I pointed at the screen.

"Is that so. Then those characters may be number of its operating power percent. Then it's changing means it is increasing power, isn't it."

Well I hope it is increasing. It is in alien language so we can't understand anything.

Then afterwords, the thrusters start showing great powers. It start pushing the ship from the tentaclesbut that creature was more powerful than we expected.

It start tightening it's grip with other tentacles.

But the ship also start increasing power as the number jump to three digit.

""Goooo....come on.""

We both shouted with handle in our hand.

The tentacles pulling the ships as it was stretched with tension while on our splay there are red pop ups with warning sound from it.

As we thought that our ship is about to crush, suddenly our ship accelerated forward with a strong jerk.

We thought that we mange to snap it's tentacles but our misunderstanding was realised very quickly.

Because, when we move forward something 0assed by our ship andvin front of us there is something like an open mouth. It was a new monster, twice the size of previous one with a wyvern like appearance with very dangerous and sharp looking talons holding the tentacles of the octopus monster.

"Nooo.....no... not a new monster. Kira kun, we are gonna eaten by it. Evade it. Evade it."

"Yeah, I can see it . Riruru San."

We exchanged word in short instant and I tried to tilt the handle to evade that monster. But, as we know, it didn't even budged but the ship start to tilt.

It was complete mystery to me but slowly I am getting a hang of its steering pattern.

Our ship tilted to wmevade it but we are very fast and it is hard to drive something in three dimensional space. As a result we entered it's mouth which appear as long cave with sharp teeth at the ridges.

It started to close it's mouth but we succeed to move out from the side of its mouth between it's teeth.

It all happened in an instant that our heart is about to stop.

As we move out, we thought to full throttle to the blue planetin front of us. But then we realised that it was not so easy.

There was another octopus type monster like the first one but ten times the size of it. Not only that it has tentacles four times in number.

We are in front of that planet but encircled by three life threatening Monsters. There was an octopus type in front of us on left side, the wyvern type on our backside and a collassal octopus type at our top in front. It was like a hellish deadlock.

"Kira kun, even if we die now, I won't slap you so don't fear." She said with straight face.

What are you saying Riruru San. We can't lose here. I even get a hang of the control of ship.

We can't die si casually, you said it don't you.

"No l, Riruru San. We will land on that planet safely, escape from these monster and I will get my kiss."

There is a hope because there is a way. We have to go on that planet, if we succeed we win, but if we lose we die.

'Gulp'

I have to maneavour it skillfully. It is really difficult to control it in 3d space. At least if it had a better view of other parts of ship...

As I was thinking of it, two more holographic screen popped up by both side of the central one.

Then, as I have a full view, I accelerate at full power toward the collassal monster.

"Kira kun, where are you going! Had you gone insane."

She said but I didn't respond. I had all my concentration on those screens.

As I was going toward the collassal monster, the wyvern follow us. And the collossal octopus, it thrusts it's tentacles like spears at us. I successfully manage to dodge all of it with the brink of hair.

But the wyvern type who was chasing us, many spear like tentacles pierce through it.

We are continuing toward the collassal one but suddenly the first octopus type shoot with it's tentacles toward us. We moved toward the lower side and with few movements, the tentacles of both of them entangled together and we move out from the cage of tentacles.

"Yes, as all I had planned."

I said in small voice. And with this chance, as all of them are stuck somewhere, I moved the ship to the planet with full speed.

But one thing I miscalculated that the tentacles have many more tentacles. It started chasing us with it's free tentacles.

As we thought that it was game over, the tentacles disperse and stop chasing us.

"It didn't chase us in the plant atmosphere.

You did it kira kun. We got here in one piece."

"Finally, it's all over."

'Sigh'

I let out a heavy sigh. My eyes are getting wet. U was about to cry as my hands are vibrating with fear. All my toughness acting had weard off.

Riruru San gave me a tight hug to console me.

But at the end we got here at the planet successfully.
