Keroro Gunsou: The Azumanga Daioh Adventure!



Part 16: "Kururu: Memories are made of this! De arimasu!"



"After being ambushed by Space Policewomen Poyon-chan and Poyan-chan; Alisa Southerncross and Nevula have been placed under arrest and are now facing death; while Kamiya Yumenna watches helplessly…" The narrator explains as Poyon and Poyan watch as 4 small police robos hold Alisa's limp body in the air.

"That wasn't nearly as hard as headquarters said it would be, Poya!" Poyan states as she nods lightly at the unconscious Alisa. "No criminal can go unpunished, Poyo!" Poyon chimes in with a smile and a wink.

"…How…how could you?" A voice asks; and they both turn to see Kamiya still in the same position that the police robos set her down in.

"We're just doing our job, Poya!" Poyan replies as she floats over in front of her. "Your job? Aren't people innocent until proven guilty?" Kamiya asks.

Poyan thinks quietly to herself for a moment. "Well; that might be true with some Pekoponjin governments; but space laws are different, Poya. We have substantial evidence to prove that it was Nevula who did this, Poya." Poyan explains.

"You mean, the those holes over there?" Kamiya asks as she points towards where the holes were; only to watch them slowly disappear.

"Yes, Poyo. Those holes are very unstable areas in time and space, Poyo. You don't want to get close to them, Poyo!" Poyon explains as she floats over next to her lieutenant.

"But…how did he do it?" Kamiya asks. The two space policewomen look at each other with confused looks. "Well; we haven't figured that out quite yet either, Poya. We were lucky that our headquarters were right about how to handle these two. Poya. We've never had to deal with anyone like this before, Poya." Poyan explains to Kamiya.

"Can someone please tell me how this happened…?" The narrator asks with little heart.

"I'll be sure to do that later…" A voice states; and everyone turns to see Alisa and Nevula floating in the air; fully awake.

"WHAT?!" Poyan, Poyon, Kamiya and the narrator all shout at the same time as they stare at Alisa in shock.

"But…how?" Poyon asks in shock as she looks down at the ground at the broken power bonds and police robos on the ground; shattered in tiny pieces.

"I have to thank Kamiya-dono for that one…" Nevula states; as Kamiya looks on in confusion, "…Thanks for using that device, like I asked you to."

"What's going on here?" The narrator asks, "Replay, please!"

"Alisa-chan! Alisa-chan! Speak to me! Are you alright?!" Kamiya shouts as she holds her up. Her limp body just hangs in her arms and Nevula's eye has a big X across it, as he too has passed out.

As Alisa and Nevula lie in Kamiya's arms; she quickly reaches into her pocket and presses the device they had given her earlier that day; and administers the anti-agent into Alisa's body; totally unnoticed by Poyon and Poyon as they notice Kamiya holding Alisa.

"She's just under a powerful chemical control right now, Poya. She'll be fine once we've got her, Poya!" Poyan states.

"Oh, I see now…" The narrator states, "…Finally, something makes sense!"

"Headquarters was wrong…Poyo…" Poyon mutters in shock and disbelief as Alisa lands and starts walking towards them.

Just then, Kamiya looks up at Nevula just in time to see his eye become slanted as Alisa grins psychotically. "Did you really think that these bonds could hold me?" Alisa asks with a tone of taunting as Nevula slices the handcuffs off of Alisa.

"Stay back, or I'll-" Poyan begins as she draws her gun and points it at Alisa; but gets cut off. "Or you'll do what?!" Nevula asks as he changes into a pair of hands.

Poya fires upon Nevula; but the waves merely echo around his body as he grabs both Poyon and Poyan. "You really have no clue what you're dealing with, do you?" Alisa asks as she smirks at the two policewomen as they struggle to get free.

"If you hurt us; you'll be in a lot of trouble, Poyo!" Poyon warns as she looks down at Alisa.

"You mean worse than they were before? They were facing death…" The narrator asks with a tone of confusion.

"I don't care about that…" Nevula states as his eye appears on his body and stares at the two policewomen, "…All I care about is Alisa; and you tried to kill her. That…is unforgivable."

Suddenly, he tosses the two space policewomen into the air and over the edge of the tower. "Oh my god…" Kamiya shouts in shock as she races towards the edge of the tower and looks down in horror.

"What's happened to you?!" Kamiya asks as she turns to face Alisa as Nevula retracts back into a hairband. "Nothing really…sometimes you just need to change your outlook on things." Alisa states; when something catches her eye and she looks up just behind Kamiya.

"Police robos…take her down, Poya!" Poyan commands as her and Poyon hover in the air a short distance from the tower.

"Damn…I forgot they can fly…" Nevula comments as hundreds of police robos turn to face him and Alisa, "…But I still have the upper hand in this battle!"

Suddenly; all of the police robos fire the same energy beam they fired before at Alisa; causing her to stumble a little upon impact.

"Fools…don't you realize that I'm immune now?!" Nevula cries out as he changes into a giant pair of rotating blades and starts obliterating the police robos.

"Poyon-dono, I don't think we stand a chance, Poya…" Poyan whispers to her superior as they watch Alisa obliterate the police robos like nothing. "I think you're right, Poyo…" Poyon replies in fear.

"So, you've got to send your lackey drones to face me now, is that it?" Alisa asks as she walks towards them through the swarms of police robos. Kamiya, Poyon and Poyan watch in horror as she plows through them like walking through nothing but air; as Nevula smashes and slams them into pieces in a flurry of explosions and shattered parts.

"Alisa…" Kamiya mutters in sadness as she watches Alisa come closer and closer, "…Is there anything I can do to help you? I don't like to see you like this!"

"NO!" Alisa cries out as she looks at Kamiya a short distance away; "This is no battle for a defenseless Pekoponjin. This is between me and the space policewomen!"

"We've got to get out of here; now, Poya!" Poyan shouts as she adjusts the settings on her gun. "I agree, Poyo. We'll have to reevaluate the situation back at headquarters, Poyo. Let's go, Poyo!" Poyon shouts just as Poyan fires the gun into the air in front of them and opens a subspace pocket.

"Don't even think about it!" Nevula screams as he converts into a spear and plows through the few remaining police robos and aims towards Poyon and Poyan. Poyon manages to jump into the subspace pocket and close it just as Nevula's spear closes in; causing him to hit nothing but air.

"NO!!" He growls as he finishes off the few remaining police robos; and reforms into a hairband. Kamiya; all this time; sits with her back against the needle of the tower and watches as Alisa turns towards her.

"Please Alisa-chan…this isn't like you…what's going on?" Kamiya asks in fear as she watches Alisa walk towards her. "Don't worry Pekoponjin…I won't hurt you…" Alisa states with a grin, one that doesn't inspire confidence in Kamiya.

"I'm sorry Alisa-chan…I didn't do anything to you…please, don't hurt me!" Kamiya begs, and Alisa stops in her tracks. "Well; that's true…you did give me that antidote…" Nevula begins as starts to remember, as Alisa looks up at him, "…So, it's only fair that we repay the favor…"

"But…but…why would you want to hurt me? Aren't we friends?" Kamiya asks.

Suddenly, Alisa takes a step back and nearly falls. "Friends…" Nevula asks as his eye returns to normal and he looks at Kamiya again.

"I'm…I'm sorry Kamiya-dono…" Nevula starts as Alisa stops grinning and returns to her normal expressionless face, "…I don't know what came over me…can you forgive me?"

Kamiya slowly rises to her feet; still a little weary of them. "I want to help you Alisa-chan, you too Nevula. I forgive you, but please don't do that again! You really scared me!" Kamiya replies.

Nevula looks at Kamiya as she starts crying. Suddenly and unexpectedly, Kamiya rushes Alisa and gives her a hug; leaving Alisa only to flinch a little and stare on in wonder; unsure of how to respond.

"I was so worried about you, Alisa-chan! You're one of my very best friends; and I don't want to lose you! I want to help you; I'll do anything I can to help you!" Kamiya cries out as she holds Alisa tightly.

Alisa looks up at Nevula with a confused look; and Nevula calmly reaches down and pulls Kamiya's tight grip off of Alisa. Kamiya gently wipes her eyes and looks up at Nevula.

"I'm sorry Kamiya-dono; but this is something I must deal with on my own. It's my fault that this whole thing happened; and now I must pay the price…alone. You can not help me with this." Nevula tells her with a tone of sadness.

"Daddy, are you sure?" Alisa asks as she looks up at him, "I think that Kamiya really wants to help us." Nevula sighs, "I'm sorry Alisa, but she can't help us. There's nothing she can do to help me, not with her being a normal Pekoponjin."

Kamiya sniffles a little as Nevula changes into a hand. "Kamiya-dono, I'm sorry that you can not help us with this; we must face this battle alone," Nevula begins as he extends his hand towards her, "…But, I suppose you do need a lift home; right?"

Kamiya looks up at him in confusion as Alisa tries hard to smile at her. Kamiya laughs a little as she wipes a remaining tear from her eye. "Thanks, you guys. I appreciate it." Kamiya replies as she takes Nevula's hand; and he conforms around her body gently and forms a pair of wings.

As Alisa takes off with Kamiya in tow; a silent set of misshapen optics watch from a short distance away on top of the tower.

"Hmm…that was some battle…" The mechanical voice states; his voice echoing in on itself a little, "…But why do I recognize those two Pekoponjin? Something's not right here…"

He turns a little to look at one of the holes in the sky; this one with snow coming out of it. "…But I'm willing to bet it has something to do with that time alteration those space policewomen mentioned. I must do some analysis on this and report back at once!"

"O.K., so who's this now?" The narrator asks in confusion, "…I'm so confused…well; let's see what's happening with Kamiya now; at least that should make sense."

"Alisa-chan!" Kamiya shouts as she stands on the balcony of her room at her house. Alisa stops suddenly as Kamiya speaks; causing her to turn around and hover in mid air. "What is it, Kamiya?" Alisa asks.

"I know you have to face this problem on your own…but…" Kamiya begins as she looks up at Alisa, "…Will I see you again? There are still so many questions I have and I really want to see you again."

Alisa floats a little closer to Kamiya and nods lightly. "You will see us again, Kamiya-dono. There was a reason why I did what I did; and when the time's right; I will explain it to you in detail," Nevula explains, "Hopefully by then I will have all these problems fixed. Goodbye for now, Kamiya-dono."

Nevula and Alisa quickly take off, leaving Kamiya to watch with a little dismay. "So, what happened to you all day?" A tiny voice states; and Kamiya turns to see Terere standing in the room with her arms crossed.

"Oh, it's just you…" Kamiya mutters as she sweatdrops, "..Well; I went out with Alisa-chan for a while; that's all."

"I was so worried about you though! You just up and left without saying anything!" Terere states as she uncrosses her arms.

"Hehe, that's just how Alisa-chan is. She's not one to give warnings." Kamiya mutters as she sweatdrops again.

"Oh…" Terere begins, "…Well; can you at least try to tell me when you're going to leave like that?" "Sure, I can do that. I'm sorry." Kamiya smiles as she kneels down to Terere's height.

"Tetete! Thanks Kamiya-dono!" Terere smiles. Kamiya watches as Terere happily walks out of the room.

"Terere-chan…" Kamiya snickers quietly to herself happily as she goes to her dresser and pulls out her pajamas.

Just as she does, she senses something and looks at the top of her dresser; only to see a small red and green necklace.

"Wh-why do I know what this is…" Kamiya asks herself as she reaches for the necklace; only to have her hand go through it and disappear.

"Another illusion…" Kamiya says in shock as she looks at the empty spot on the dresser where the necklace was, then suddenly at her mirror, "…Don't tell me; they have something to do with what Nevula and Alisa did!"

She takes a seat on her bed and looks around the room. "It must be…" She comments to herself in thought, "…Those must be something like flashbacks or something…it's the only possibility…"

She gets up again and looks at that spot on top of the dresser again. "…Because if it wasn't; I would still have my Powered Necklace. Some how they changed time; and I'm getting flashbacks; but that might be just the thing I need to help Alisa, after all!" Kamiya states with determination as she nods in confirmation of her own thoughts.

"Meanwhile…" The narrator states, "…Somewhere…"

"I have some news for you…" The mechanical voice from earlier states as he walks into a room with a single chair in the center of it, with a shadowy figure sitting in it.

"Oh, really? And what news is this?" An evil voice booms, echoing throughout the room as the being in the chair speaks.

"It would appear that somehow a being known as Alisa Southerncross has managed to alter history; though I'm not sure how. It would appear that you, in fact, are supposed to be dead; but due to history being altered; you haven't been killed yet." The mechanical voice states.

The being in the chair sits quietly for a moment and stares blankly at the mechanical reporter, his red eyes glaring at him. "An interesting development indeed…" The seated being states finally, "…How is it that I die?"

"From the data files I was able to find from certain portions of the space internet that appear to be unaffected by this history alteration; you died at the hands of the Keroro Platoon and a few of their allies; specifically at the hands of Dororo, a girl named Sakaki, and that Alisa Southerncross woman." The mechanical being explains.

"An interesting thing; knowing one's own demise…" The being states as he taps his finger lightly; an aura glowing around them, "…However, in this case; it's a good thing. Alisa Southerncross you say…that name is familiar to me…I believe she has a partner with her from a sister planet to my old one…"

"From Meron?" The mechanical being asks. "No, a different one…" The seated being says, "…One I had almost forgotten about…"

A question mark pops up over the head of the mechanical being. "Um…aren't you a Keronian?" He asks in confusion.

"Yes and no…" The seated being states, "…But now is not the time to discuss that. Now, we must ensure that history does not repeat itself. I died once at the hands of the Keroro Platoon and their allies; but it will not happen again."

"But Abrara Teichou; we're not going to attack them now, are we?" The mechanical being asks.

"Not quite yet, but very soon, Cyroro…" Abrara states as he steps into the light coming from a single lamp in the middle of the room.

"What?! Abrara's still alive?!" The narrator shouts, "Wow, this guy doesn't know how to stay dead! Though I'm sure that altering history played some factor this time…"

"There are some things you should never mess with…" Abrara states as he grins with his fist glowing with a powerful aura, "…History is one of them!"

"Well; while all that was transpiring; day has come to Japan once again…" The narrator states, "…In case you're wondering; I'm totally lost here; so I'm just going to do my job and stop trying to figure things out. Anyway…"

"Good morning Kamiya-dono!" Terere shouts as she leaps onto the bed and on top of Kamiya. "Wha-?!" Kamiya shouts as she fumbles around in the bed; and ends up knocking Terere off of it while she sits up in her bed.

"Oh no! You O.K.?" Kamiya asks as she covers her mouth with her hands. "I'm fine…" Terere mutters as she rubs a bump that just formed on her head, "…I'll have to remember not to wake you up like that in the future though."

'I'm sorry Terere; I'm not that much of a morning person…" Kamiya rubs the back of her head as she sweatdrops, "…And I don't wake up easily."

"So I see now…" Terere says as she sighs a puff of air, "…I was going to ask you what you wanted to do today?"

"Oh?" Kamiya mutters, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, "I don't really know. I think I had enough fun yesterday, so I don't really want to do too much today."

Terere watches as Kamiya stretches a little in her purple pajamas and walks over to her dresser. "That's good then! There was this movie I wanted to watch and-" Terere starts when Kamiya holds out her hand for her to stop suddenly.

"What is it, Kamiya-dono?" Terere asks. Kamiya looks down at her dresser again with a stern expression upon her face. "Actually; there was something very important I needed to do today…" She slowly replies.

"What's that?" Terere asks innocently. "I can't say, I'm not even sure if it'll work. But I have to try; if not for the sake of time; then for my friend Alisa-chan." Kamiya states; more to herself than to Terere towards the end of her statement.

"Um…O.K…." Terere states with tiny pupils and a question floating away from her head.

"Don't worry Terere. I'll be back tonight." Kamiya replies with a smile as she turns and looks down at her. "You promise?" Terere asks.

"Well, I can't promise…" Kamiya begins with a little unease, "…But I'll certainly try. O.K.?"

Terere sighs lightly, but then looks back up at Kamiya. "I guess that'll do, Kamiya-dono." She replies with little expression.

"I'm sorry Terere; but I can't be here all the time. I have stuff I have to do still in the outside world; even with you here. I hope you can understand." Kamiya says sweetly.

"Tetete, of course! I just like to keep tabs on you, that's all!" Terere says with a sudden smile, "You're my best friend and I want to make sure you're always alright and having fun."

"Thanks, " Kamiya begins as she lightly rubs Terere's hat, "You can rest assured that I'll be alright. Don't worry about it."

Kamiya winks at her, and Terere smiles happily. "O.K.; I'll just be around here then. I still want to see that movie!" Terere shouts as she jumps up and down. "You do that; I've got to get dressed." Kamiya replies as Terere nods and leaves the room.

As Kamiya goes through her underwear drawer and pulls out a bra for the day; she looks at herself in the mirror for a moment. "Alisa-chan…I'm going to help you, if I can. I just hope that they know what I'm talking about when I talk to them today." She says to her reflection as she closes the drawer.

"A short time later…" The narrator states.

"Oh, good morning Ayumu-dono!" Dororo states as he stands next to Sakaki at the entrance to Chiyo's house.

"Heya Dororo-chan!" Osaka replies with a limp wave; in her normal daydreamy way, "Oh, and you two, Sakaki-san!"

"Hello, Osaka-san." Sakaki replies with a light bow. "Um…Sakaki-dono…" Dororo begins, causing Sakaki to look down at him, "…Is it odd that I call her Ayumu-dono?"

Sakaki sweatdrops a little. "Um, not really Dororo…it's just proper. We call her Osaka as a nickname." Sakaki replies as she rubs the back of her head lightly.

"Yeah! I'm like a metaphor! You know, something you call one name but in reality is actually something else!" Osaka replies with a finger in the air.

An air of silence hangs over Dororo and Sakaki as their eyes blank out.

"Um…that's not what a metaphor is…you're thinking of something else…" Sakaki replies as Dororo nods lightly.

"Oh really?" Osaka asks as a question mark pops up over her head.

Just then, Tomo walks into the group and pats Osaka on the back really hard; causing her to lurch forward. "Heya Osaka! What's up?" Tomo shouts happily as she continues to slap Osaka on the back.

"Uh…" Sakaki mutters as she reaches out to help; but is unable to speak up. "I'm not sure that Ayumu-dono likes that; Tomo-dono…" Dororo finishes Sakaki's sentence for her.

"Huh?" Tomo asks as she stops hitting Osaka; giving Osaka a chance to catch her breath as spirals fill her eyes.

"Thank goodness…" Sakaki and Dororo both sigh at the same time.

"Oh say! I was wondering…have either of you two seen Kururu around? I've been trying to find him last night; but he disappeared. It's like he's trying to avoid me or something…" Tomo comments.

"You think?" The narrator asks sarcastically.

"Sorry Tomo-dono; I haven't seen him since early yesterday." Dororo replies. "Oh well…let me know if you see him," Tomo shrugs lightly; then looks back at them, "So, what're we going to do today?"

"Kagura told us that she was going to be at the park today practicing for her sports meet coming up here in a little while, so I was thinking we'd go pay her a visit." Yomi states as she walks up to the group.

"That sounds kinda boring, Yomi-chan…" Tomo states with a tone of dismay. "Who asked you?" Yomi grumbles as a small plus sign appears on her forehead as she gets irritated.

"Hey you guys! You're here early!" Chiyo shouts from inside her yard as she sees them from her porch. "Good morning, desu!" Tamama shouts as he stands next to Chiyo and waves happily.

"Hmm…even early in the morning you're noisy…" Giroro grumbles as he walks out of his tent and approaches the front of the house.

"Giroro-kun…you really need to lighten up, de arimasu!" Keroro states as he floats in on his flying hoverboard.

Giroro growls as he sees Keroro start dancing on his board. "I'll give you a reason to dance!!" Giroro shouts as the words, 'Not a morning person' flash above his head.

Keroro screams in fear as Giroro fires upon him with his guns; causing him to dodge the blasts as best as he can, but one hits his board and sends him crashing to the ground.

"Giroro-sempai really needs to learn to take a joke too, desu…" Tamama mutters with a shaded in face from shame as Chiyo sweatdrops and laughs lightly.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot!" Chiyo states as she reaches into her pocket and grabs a small remote. She presses a button and opens the gate, "Sorry about that, I got a little distracted."

"I'm not a little distraction!" Giroro flares as his eyes whiteout and steam shoots out of his head, leaving Chiyo only to giggle lightly.

Man, this still looks completely wrong to me… Kamiya thinks to herself as she watches the girls and the Keronians go into Chiyo's yard together.

Dororo turns to see Kamiya coming towards them carrying a folded piece of paper in her hand. "Kamiya-dono! I didn't know you were coming too?" Dororo asks as the others stop and look back out to see Kamiya coming towards them.

"Well; I wasn't actually…" Kamiya begins with a sweatdrop, "…But I have to speak with Kururu about something important. Is he around?"

"I'm afraid not," Sakaki replies, "He wasn't at Tomo-chan's place last night; and Dororo hasn't seen him recently either."

"Oh…" Kamiya replies, "…Well, I really need to talk to him. If you see him; will you let him know that I need to see him?"

Dororo and Sakaki both nod as Yomi steps back outside of Chiyo's yard. "Say, why don't you just come with us instead? He's bound to show up sooner or later; and you can tell him yourself then." She queries.

"Um…what are you all doing today?" Kamiya asks with a question mark above her head. "We're just going to the park; in a few minutes here actually. Kagura should already be there…" Yomi replies. "Kagura…" Giroro mutters to himself happily as he blushes.

"O.K.; that should be fine. Thank you." Kamiya replies with a bow. "Don't mention it," Yomi begins as she turns to everyone inside the fence, "Hey! You all ready to go?"

"We're ready!" Chiyo replies as Tamama carries an afro-headed Keroro on his shoulder. "I bet you'll be happy to see Kagura again, right Giroro-chan?" Chiyo asks him as she looks at him.

"That-that's none of your business!" Giroro shouts as he blushes. "Well everyone; let's go!" Yomi states with a thumb's up.

"A short time later…" The narrator states.

As Kagura stretches her calves next to a track in the park; she hears something and turns to see the group approaching from a distance.

"Hey everybody! I'm over here!" Kagura shouts as she stands up and wipes her brow. As they all wave their hellos; Kamiya takes a seat on a bench.

"Osaka-san, can I talk to you for a second?" Kamiya asks, causing Osaka to stop. "Oh sure!" She replies happily as she takes a seat next to Kamiya on the bench.

"There's something I've been meaning to ask you…" Kamiya begins. "Oh? What's that, Kamiya-chan?" Osaka asks back. "Well; how did you and Keroro first meet?" Kamiya finishes.

"You don't remember?" Osaka asks with a question mark above her head; leaving Kamiya only to sweatdrop.

"Not exactly…it's been a while…" Kamiya replies nervously. "Oh…" Osaka replies with confusion; but smiles a moment later.

"What happened was I woke up one morning; and I was a bit tired still…" Osaka begins.

"In other words, she was her normal sleeping-while-awake-self…" The narrator adds.

"…And I got up and there he was! Keroro Gunsou…just standing there on my dresser!" Osaka explains. "Oh wow; I bet you were scared!" Kamiya replies with concern.

"No, not really…" Osaka replies with a silly grin, "…I didn't even notice him at first."

Kamiya's face fades out from shame as she hears this.

"Then, he saw me, or so he told me later. I walked up to the dresser and started following what I thought was my reflection; but in fact it was really him trying to mimic my movements!" Osaka explains with her hands, "How about that? He's really good at pretending to be me!"

I'm sorry I asked… Kamiya thinks to herself as her eyes remain hidden from shame.

"Um…so…how did the others meet?" Kamiya asks hesitantly. "I'm not really sure. I think Kagura-chan met Giroro-chan while Giroro-chan was searching for Keroro-chan; and Tamama-chan was found by Keroro-chan not too long after their headquarters abandoned them here. Those are some mean guys, leaving them behind like this…" Osaka explains as she trails off; seeing a small fly buzz past her face.

"Well; thanks Osaka-san. I'll chat with ya later…" Kamiya replies with a bit of sweatdrop as she stands up and walks away; leaving Osaka to watch the little fly buzz around.

"Hnn! I'm going to race a Pekoponjin…" A voice grumbles, and Kamiya turns to see Giroro standing near Kagura with his arms crossed.

"Aw, come on Giroro-chan! I know you want to…" She mutters with a bit of encouragement; causing Giroro to blush.

As Giroro stands there with his arms crossed and with his back turned towards Kagura; she smirks and assumes as starting position. A few seconds later, Giroro peers over his shoulder and sees nothing; only to realize that Kagura's already a quarter of the way down the track.

"Hmm…maybe this will be a challenge…" Giroro comments to himself, now interested.

Kamiya watches from the sidelines as Giroro catches up to and passes Kagura; leaving Kagura only to watch in wonder as Giroro cruises to an easy victory.

Kagura finally catches up and sees Giroro remove a wing pack. "Hey! That's no fair! You cheated!" Kagura shouts angrily.

"Heh, you never mentioned any rules, Pekoponjin…" Giroro smirks with confidence.

Kagura sighs as she finishes catching her breath. "Aw Giroro-chan; why do you have to put up that tough guy front when we're out in public? You can just call me Kagura, like when we're at home." Kagura replies.

Giroro instantly turns bright red and starts waving his arms frantically. "Idiot! Shut up! People are going to think we're…we're…" Giroro stutters as he continues to wave his arms in fear.

"We're what?" Kagura asks with a question mark above her head. "We're…um…we're… you know…um…" Giroro stutters, unable to say anything more.

"You don't mean…" Kagura begins with an evil eye on him; causing him to flinch, "…You pervert! I'd never do anything like that!"

Kamiya sweatdrops as she watches Kagura kick Giroro like a football, sending Giroro flipping end over end.

This is so similar to what it should be; but yet so different… Kamiya sighs as she turns to see Kururu standing a short distance away with a video camera; taping Sakaki as she plays jump rope with Chiyo, Dororo and Tamama.

"Hey Kururu!" Kamiya shouts, causing Kururu to fumble the camera for a few seconds and hide it behind his back; a huge sweatdrop on his head.

"Oh, it's just you. What do you want?" Kururu asks as Kamiya walks over towards him. "I need to talk to you; it's very important."

"Whatever it is I'm sure it can wait, kukuku…" Kururu snickers as he pulls the camera back out and starts videotaping again.

"Does the phrase Powered Necklace have any meaning to you?" Kamiya asks; and Kururu instantly turns off the video camera.

"How do you know about that, Pekoponjin girl?" Kururu asks as he glares at her; lowering the camera to his side.

"That's what I need to talk to you about. Something really did happen; and I need your help." Kamiya replies sternly; staring down the small yellow Keronian.

"Kukuku…alright, Kamiya-dono…you have my attention…" Kururu replies as he turns and faces her.

"No, not here. I need to speak to you…" Kamiya begins as she looks around a little, "…In private."

"Then let's go to my base. I like my privacy, kukuku…" Kururu snickers as he produces his hoverboard out of thin air through subspace.

Kamiya nods and hops on the board. "Where are you two going?" Tomo asks as she sees them hovering above the ground. "Great…she saw me…" Kururu limply states.

"Don't worry Tomo-chan; we'll be back later. Kururu and I have some stuff we need to discuss right now." Kamiya replies, much to Kururu's amazement. "Oh yeah…I do remember you mentioning that…" Tomo begins, "…See ya later then!"

"A short time later, while in flight to Chiyo's place…" The narrator states.

"Why did you defend me back there?" Kururu asks. "Well; I didn't really…it was the truth. I told them before I needed to talk to you," Kamiya explains as she holds onto the board as she kneels on it, "And besides, you seemed kinda annoyed to see Tomo-chan."

"Kukuku…you got that right…" Kururu sighs. "Why's that?" Kamiya asks. "…As you know; I met her while I was videotaping some girls at your school. She bumped into me and knocked out my anti-barrier; and caught me in her arms before I could escape. She was fascinated by me and so I gave her that pen she has now to distract her; hoping she'd get preoccupied with that and forget about me. Instead; she simply started drawing; and ended up making a cage on accident and I was stuck in it." Kururu explains with a tone of angst.

"What was she trying to draw?" Kamiya asks him. "…A comb." Kururu replies with a sigh and a sweatdrop.

"Sounds like she can be a pain sometimes…" Kamiya adds with a bit of a sweatdrop. "Ku, more like all the time! That's why I built my secret base at Chiyo's place!" Kururu comments.

"A few moments later, they arrive at Chiyo's place…" The narrator explains, "…And head down into Kururu's lab."

Kamiya walks inside the yellow domed structure; shaped a lot like Kururu's head. Inside; a single chair with cables running to and from it sits in front of hundreds of computer screens.

"I don't have guests here…ever…so you're going to have to sit on the floor." Kururu explains as he sits in his chair. Kamiya sighs a puff of air; but takes a seat on the floor.

"Now, how do you know about the Powered Necklace?" Kururu asks her; cutting to the chase. "That's just the thing; I know about it because I used to have one." Kamiya tells him; causing him to stare at her in confusion.

"That's not possible…I only made one copy and I haven't given it to any Pekoponjin yet." Kururu tells her. "No, you misunderstand, Kururu-chan; I had one in another time." Kamiya tells him; causing him to sweatdrop a little.

"Kukuku…I don't know how you found out about our technology; but I think you're lying to me now…" Kururu retorts. "You remember me asking you about Saburo?" Kamiya quickly counters, causing Kururu to sit back in his chair a little.

"Yes…" Kururu begins cautiously. "He's the Pekoponjin friend you made in the timeline I remember; not Tomo-chan! My friend Alisa Southerncross and her daddy Nevula altered history somehow and now I'm the only one who remembers all this stuff through flashbacks and surpressed memories." Kamiya explains.

"I don't believe you…" Kururu begins, "…But there is a way to test what you are saying…"

"A few minutes later…" The narrator states.

"What is that thing?" Kamiya asks. "That's the Soul Diver. It'll allow me to see into your memories." Kururu replies as they stand in front of the spherical machine.

"Alright…if it'll prove to you once and for all that I'm not lying; then I'll allow myself to go into that thing." Kamiya replies with a nod.

"About a minute later, Kamiya's unconscious and floating inside the Soul Diver as Kururu places a pair of goggles on his face connected to the machine.

"Kukuku…let's have a look…" Kururu snickers as he places his finger above a button, "…I press!"

A moment later, Kururu's inside Kamiya's mind; floating around as thousands of memory bubbles float by him.

"Ku…she's got memories of Terere…" Kururu mutters to himself, "…Got to avoid those ones."

Suddenly, he looks and sees a few bubbles clustered together; each red in color. "Ku, I've never seen anything like that before…" Kururu comments to himself as he floats towards them and enters one of the bubbles.

"Stupid frog!!" A red haired girl shouts as Keroro races around a kitchen of an unfamiliar house frantically. "Who's that Pekoponjin?" Kururu asks himself.

"Nee-chan! Don't hurt Gunsou…he was just trying to help." A young boy states as he walks into the room. "Fuyuki-dono! Thank you so much!!" Keroro cries as he latches onto Fuyuki's leg for protection.

"Fuyuki?! That's one of the names Kamiya-dono mentioned before!" Kururu states in shock.

"Natsumi-dono! I'm sorry!" Keroro cries out as he shakes with fear. "Natsumi…" Kururu thinks to himself, "…I do kinda remember something about this…but I don't really remember too much…"

Kururu pops out of the one bubble and into another red bubble. "Oh, hey Kuru-chan!" A voice states and he turns to see a tall gray-haired young male standing near him.

"Saburo?" Kururu asks in shock. "Kukuku…greetings, Saburo." Another Kururu snickers as he walks past the real Kururu and up to Saburo.

"Ku…" Kururu thinks to himself as he watches the Kururu and Saburo in Kamiya's memory walk off together, "…I do remember him…she wasn't lying!"

"A few minutes later…" The narrator states.

"I…I doubted you before Kamiya-dono; but you weren't lying to me. I do remember Saburo now; but not real well. I saw his face; and it hit me. I can't explain it…" Kururu replies as Kamiya sits outside the Soul Diver machine in front of him.

"I'm glad you believe me…" Kamiya begins, "…But that's not why I came to see you. I need a Powered Necklace again."

"Why?" Kururu asks. "Because I need a way to fight with Alisa-chan."

Kururu's glasses crack a little upon hearing this. "What's the matter?" Kamiya asks him.

"You want to fight with Alisa? Are you insane?" Kururu asks her.

"I don't think you fully understand what Kamiya-chan's asking for here; Kururu-sempai…" The narrator sighs.

"Um…no…she's one of my best friends…" Kamiya replies with a question mark.

"Ku…with friends like that; who needs enemies?" Kururu replies and then looks up at her, "Well; that's a real challenge. Since you didn't lie to me and helped me with Tomo-dono; I suppose I can make you a Powered Necklace that will have enough power to help you fight with Alisa."

"Thank you, Kururu-chan!" Kamiya replies with a smile. "Ku…don't thank me. It's annoying…" Kururu replies as he walks away; leaving Kamiya only to sweatdrop.

"About an hour later…" The narrator states.

"There you go, it's done." Kururu replies as he walks back into the room; where Kamiya is now sitting in a chair quietly.

"Thank you, Kururu-chan!" Kamiya states with a little bow as she takes the necklace from him. Kururu grumbles a little; but says nothing this time.

"There are some things I should tell you about it first…" Kururu states as he pulls out a laptop. Kamiya watches as he pulls up a schematic on the screen of the Powered Suit.

"I heavily modified this version of the Powered Suit; since you said you had a Powered Suit before. This is the Mk-II version of it." Kururu tells her and she nods understandingly.

"You see, I equipped this one with some new features from the previous model I had; a lot of them the same from the same technology that the Kero Ball uses," Kururu explains, "Like for instance; you can generate weapons from subspace; like this gun here and this shield here."

"Good; that'll come in handy…" Kamiya comments as he continues. "Also, I've given it a wing pack and a pair of beam sabers; one that hooks into your backpack and one that's mounted in a ponytail holder here."

"I've been meaning to ask this for a while now…why the ponytail holder?" Kamiya asks, causing Kururu to sweatdrop a little. "If you can't guess; I'm not going to tell you…" Kururu replies quickly.

"Anyway, it's also got a hand-mounted claw with two energy blades; and a pair of ankle rockets. Other than that; it's a standard Powered Suit." Kururu finishes.

"Sounds like it'll work to me." Kamiya adds with a nod. "Oh, and if I were you; I'd carry that necklace with me at all times. You can never tell when Alisa will show up."

"Ain't that the truth!" Kamiya adds with a laugh. "I think you two are on two totally different pages…" The narrator sighs.

"Ku…you're just lucky I happened to have found some information on Alisa while I was searching the Space Internet. That alien with her all the time, Nevula; he's very powerful." Kururu states.

"Wow, Kururu! I didn't realize you cared!" Kamiya smiles. Kururu immediately gets pissed. "I'm not saying because I care; I'm saying it because I'd like to get that Powered Necklace back in one piece!" Kururu retorts angrily; leaving Kamiya only to sweatdrop.

"Oh, there you two are!" A voice states; and they both turn to see the girls and the rest of the Keroro Platoon walk in; back from the park.

"Ku….great, they found me again…" Kururu sighs to himself.

"So, did you get your business taken care of then, Kamiya-dono?" Dororo asks as he walks towards her. "Yeah, I did." Kamiya happily replies with a smile.

"Well; now that I showed them where this base was; I'm going." Giroro mentions as he starts to leave.

Suddenly, he senses an evil aura behind him; and turns to see Kururu leaning over him; staring him down. "Kukuku….so, it was you who told them where my secret base was, was it?" Kururu snickers evilly, causing Giroro to sweatdrop and back away in fear.

"Um…Kururu-chan…I hate to bother you; but something's happening on your laptop-thingy…" Tomo shouts to him as she stands in the room a short distance away.

He reluctantly turns back into the room; leaving Giroro to sigh a breath of relief. But then Kururu makes a gasping noise; causing Giroro to react and rush over to him.

"What is it?" Giroro asks as Tamama, Dororo and Keroro all join him. "This…is…bad…" Kururu limply replies as they all stare at the screen in shock.

The girls all look over the Keronians at the screen; as all that appears on it is a big yellow star with some alien characters on it.

"What is it?" Yomi asks them. "It's something I thought would never happen…" Giroro begins, "…They're here."

"Who's here?" Chiyo asks as she stares at Giroro. "The 2nd Keronian invasion fleet. We need to get out of here; now!" Dororo states with concern in his voice.

As they all rush out of the room and up the stairs; they quickly make their way to a tiny refrigerator. "Quickly! Get outside!" Dororo shouts as he points to the door. They all quickly jump through the fridge, and emerge out in Chiyo's living room.

As they all rush out the door; they rush out passed the yard and into the street. There; cars pass by and people talk to each other; unaware of what's going on.

"It's coming…I can sense it…" Dororo states as he watches the people walk around without a care.

Suddenly, a cold; piercing shiver passes through everyone as instantly everything stops. People stop moving; cars stop driving; and the air fills with a deathly silence.

"What in the hell just happened?!" Yomi shouts in shock as she looks at the surrounding area.

"It's called Planet Atrophy. It's where everything is frozen in time…" Giroro explains. "Then why are we not affected?" Kamiya asks.

"…Because; it's what the people who deployed it wanted. They designed it to only affect those who don't know about them; and their allies…" Kururu replies.

"I don't know anyone who could do this…" Yomi explains. "No, you don't…" Giroro states as he peers off into the distance as a ship descends through the atmosphere as a bunch of new holes in time rip open suddenly in the sky, "…But we do."

"Off in the distance; a platform slowly lowers from that ship Giroro saw…" The narrator explains.

"Pupupu…something's not right, Garuru Teichou! There are timestorms all around the ship and spreading throughout Pekopon!" A small orange tadpole Keronian states as he sits in front of a computer.

A purple Keronian stands in near the kid, his hands upon his hips as two more Keronians stand behind him in the shadows. He looks out through his yellow visor on his hat; his eye barely visible.

"It doesn't matter, Tororo That's not our concern…" Garuru, the purple Keronian replies with little emotion, "…You know our goal. The battle starts here."

"Why is the Garuru Platoon invading now? Will the Keroro Platoon be able to stop them? And what effect will Planet Atrophy ultimately have on the unstable time holes? And what of the now-alive Abrara and his platoon? And will Kamiya be able to help Alisa with the addition of her Powered Necklace? And what of Alisa and Nevula's mental state? What other surprises lie ahead?" The narrator asks, "Keep watching!"
