''If your enemies hurt you, get payback''. Aira says.
''Twice as much! Twice as much!''. Jiji says.
''It's double you birdbrain!''. Aira says as she kicks him.
''You both seem well that's a relief''. Momo says with a smile as Mr Mantis Shrimp puts some sort of device on her arm.
''Yes, I'm glad you're both alright, I will go prepare something to eat''. Tick says as he heads to the kitchen.
Tick does some chores as he floats around thinking to himself, he looks at the pocket watch remembering the first time him and Togata met.
''Tick! Okarun's awake make something for him!''. Aira shouts from the other room.
Tick grumbles at the sound of that.
''The second that the young master heard sir Takakura could be in trouble, I sensed his thoughts shift completely, he no longer cared about his own safety, these people mean a lot to him, but they don't even seem to remember him, no one has asked about how he is except Mr Mantis, and even he is scared to interrupt, these people! I don't understand why he cares for them so!''. Tick complains as he smashes something.
But his thoughts are interrupted by someone calling out.
''Tick, come out we're talking about the plan''. Momo calls out as she walks outside.
''On my way Miss''. Tick replies dryly.
''Why do we have to hold our strategy meeting outside? it's freezing''. Aira complains.
''There there, calm down fearless leader''. Momo replies.
Shrimp did chiki go home? Jiji asks.
Yes it's too dangerous here''. Mr Mantis Shrimp replies.
''You're even thinking about the child?''. Tick says to himself Irritated.
Suddenly the team see a Serpoian who doesn't have a bottom half sitting outside.
''What's this thing doing here!?''. Aira shouts as she kicks him.
''Miss Ayase what is the meaning of this!?''. Mr Mantis Shrimp asks.
''Gyaah! The dude's only got a top half!''. Jiji shouts.
''How mean of you to just leave me here all this time''. The serpo says irritated.
''It's not like I could bring you unto my property''. Momo replies.
''Don't tell me you're planning to work with this thing!?''. Aira asks.
''Just use him, As if I could stand working together''. Momo replies.
''Serpo, it was like you said, Okarun's family jewel was taken''. Momo tells it.
''I see I knew it would come to this''. The Serpo replies.
''What?! What are you talking about!?''. Aira asks.
''Serpo explain''. Momo replies.
''When I heard that they had taken Takakura's nut, it increased the likelihood of my conjecture being correct. They are globalists from outer space, they are trying to invade the earth. Their methods are extremely forceful, but they are few in number. Clearly this is an advance party, there will be a main force to follow. For them to send their main force, in it's entirety to earth, will require a significant amount of energy, so they stole that information from us, and found out about Takakura's nut as well. Each and every one of you, would have served as quite a fine battery. But the only thing they were able to take with them was Takakura's nut, which will still provide plenty of energy to call in the main force.
''Ugh! How many aliens are there!?''. Jiji shouts in annoyance.
''Uh, a lot human, space is quite big''. The Serpo replies.
''Yeah...Togata used to say that a lot''. Jiji says.
Suddenly Jiji looks around and even checks behind Tick.
''What's wrong with you?''. Aira asks.
''Wait, Tick where's Togata?!''. Jiji asks.
Momo gasps. ''I completely forgot! Tick. were you two attacked as well?!''.
Tick begins to grumble as he tries to hold in his rage. Mr Mantis Shrimp noticing rushes to step in.
''Yes, Togata and Tick were attacked as well...''. He says.
''Where is he then? What went off on his own to defeat them or what? And left us with ghosty here as a compensation?!''. Aira asks irritated.
Tick grumbles even more.
''You insolent children!''. Tick shouts.
''Albert calm down! Everyone is worried they just forgot''. Mr Mantis Shrimp warns.
''They forgot!? The young master and I were ambushed at home! And when the aliens said something about defeating a young fast boy, the young master immediately deduced it was sir Takakura and when we had thought we defeated them we decided to rush to help but they trapped us! Togata thought up a plan in which I would escape and go warn you all, and leave him to deal with the threat, although I was against it I had to listen as it was the most rational solution! I came here and unfortunately Takakura was already injured but you! All of you! Never batted an eye to even bother to ask where he was!? I honestly don't know why the master cares so much for you bunch of brats!''. Tick shouts.
''Tick we're sorry...''. Jiji replies.
''It's too late for apologies! The young master sent me and commanded I aid you as much as I can! That is the only reason I'm here! Once we deal with this invasion I will leave your ranks and leave this mortal plane because my only reason for living is now gone!''. Tick shouts as he rushes off into the house.
''Tick wait! What do you mean he's gone where is he!?''. Momo shouts.
''Mr Mantis Shrimp?''. Aira asks.
Mr Mantis Shrimp steps in. ''We went back to the mansion but he wasn't there, the aliens took his body, and Mr Albert said something about feeling a disconnection from him,...It could be that the boy is....no longer with us''. Mr Mantis Shrimp says.
''Hey no! Don't joke like that Mr Mantis Shrimp c'mon Togata couldn't just die like that! Could he!?''. Jiji asks Momo worried.
''So he's...''. Aira says.
Mr Mantis Shrimp doesn't reply.
''Hey you! Serpo! You said earlier we would be batteries if we got captured! Can they use him as a battery if he's....you know!''. Momo asks.
''Well if he's dead no.''. The serpo replies.
''Don't say it you bastard!''. Momo shouts as she kicks him.
''I simply answered your question! Enough abuse! I see you are all worried to let me ease you a bit, the aliens do have the technology to revive him or even heal him as long as his vital organs were in good condition as if he were injured he would not be a useful battery''. The serpo explains.
''Do they have any use for him if he is not alive?''. Mr Mantis Shrimp asks.
''Unfortunately yes, if the boy is dead it is possible they would dissect him''. The serpo explains.
''And how do you know!''. Momo asks.
''Well because my kind wanted to do the same, we have chased the Toriyama boy for 8 years and he has always escaped or defeated us, if captured we had a plan where we would extract his supernatural powers and dissect him for use of his brain as he is quite the intelligent and resilient being, knowing the globalists they would copy everything we would do, those dullards!''. The Serpo says in anger.
''So he's alright right?''. Aira asks.
''Well, according to the shrimp, earlier the ghost spoke of a disconnection of some sort meaning the boy had renounced his powers, so he would no longer be a battery, the most obvious solution would be dissection''. The serpo says.
''Shut it!''. Momo and Jiji shout.
''I was just telling you the truth! You humans are so frag...''. The serpo is cut off by Momo kicking him down lying flat unable to stand.
