Chapter 51 - It's Her Gold Ball?

Togata walks out of his class to see Aira and Momo standing outside a class irritated.

''What's going on?''. Togata asks.

''Waiting for Okyy''. Jiji jokes.

''Grr! Waiting for Okarun and Vamola. Some stuck up girl wouldn't let us into Okarun's class cause she says we'll cause trouble!''. Momo says.

''Well, won't you?''. Togata asks.

''Of course I won't! I just wanna go in there and deal with that girl stealing all the attention!''. Aira says.

''Uh huh, he probably doesn't see us yet just be a bit patient''. Togata says.

The four sit outside as Jiji and Aira cling to the window, and Momo gestures for Okarun to come out angrily.

Kinta and Okarun salute as they come outside and the team go to the yard.

''Now Master Okarun''. Momo says.

''Yes ma'am!''. Okarun replies scared.

Momo stands over him as he rests on a wall huddled in fear.

''We sent you the signal like we said we would''. Momo continues.

''Yes ma'am!''. Okarun replies.

''But you were just having a good ol' time weren't you?''. Momo asks.

''Yes ma'am!''. Okarun says again.

''A goooood ol' time''. Momo says pissed.

Suddenly she starts choking him out.

''Momo!''. Vamola shouts trying to stop her.

''KYAAA! I couldn't help it I didn't notice you were there!''. Okarun pleads.

''Hey what are you doing to Takakura!''. Aira shouts trying to release Okarun from her grip.

''Takakura I'm coming to save you!''. Kinta shouts as he pushes Jiji and Togata away.

''How is he so strong!?''. Tick shouts rushing to aid them.

Okarun manages to escape as the girls continue fighting and Kinta trips.

After the fight stops everyone calms down.

''Well, anyway what was it you wanted to say about miss Vamola?''. Okarun asks.

''Hmph! Vamola, has a gold ball''. Momo replies a bit angry.

''Huh really?!''. Okarun asks.

''Hah!? Then take it back already!''. Aira shouts.

''But there's something kind of bugging me about it, I'm not sure it's actually Okarun's. Vamola show them the ball you've got back here''. Momo says.

''The round thing, round''. Momo says gesturing so Vamola can understand.

Vamola understands and deactivates the camouflage of her suit and takes off the suit removing the gold ball and showing it to Okarun.

''Huh? Is that it?''. Okarun asks.

Vamola puts it back into the suit as her camouflage reactivates and her uniform is back on.

''Wha!?''. Everyone shouts.

''Some kind of Camouflage, That's ridiculously advanced''. Togata says.

''Yeah''. Jiji replies.

''Look see this, when she inserts the gold ball it glows''. Momo says showing everyone.

''Maybe it functions like a battery''. Okarun suggests.

''Could be, what do you think?''. Momo replies.

''It's a tricky question, anyway you look at it''. Okarun replies.

''This mechanism was clearly designed for the ball''. Kinta says.

''What do you mean?''. Momo asks.

''If she only acquired the ball recently, then why would there already be a place to insert it?''. Kinta says.

''That's true''. Okarun says.

''Could she have made it like that after?''. Momo asks.

''I don't think so, Kinta makes a good point, can I take a closer look?''. Togata says as he walks closer to Vamola and she turns around.

''Yeah, the engineering is ridiculously specific, there's basically no give for the ball, it's a tight fit. It might not be able to fit anything else''. Togata explains.

''Indeed pretty boy number two, I saw the internal workings before. It's hard to imagine adding to that complex structure after the fact. It's only reasonable to assume she's had the ball for a while.''. Kinta says.

''Ah I see!''. Momo says.

Suddenly she notices some girls laughing at them.

''Gah!''. Momo says irritated.

''Miss Ayase what's the matter?''. Okarun asks.

''Disperse, Disperse! Let's think about where we meet next time! This spot is too conspicuous''. Momo says.

''How so?''. Aira asks.

Everyone goes back into the school as Togata stops Okarun, Kinta listens in.

''Okarun, hey you busy?''. Togata asks.

''No not right now, what's the matter?''. Okarun asks.

''I'm thinking of practical designs for the outside of the spaceship, so I need someone with experience in the field if you get what I mean''. Togata says with a smile.

Okarun squeals bringing out his cryptid book showing Togata. ''AHHHH! Yes, yes! I know! Here we can model them on this!''.

''Nice, knew it was a good Idea to ask you''. Togata says.

''Eh ehm! Greetings fellows, I see you are talking about spaceships, I can be of assistance!''. Kinta says posing.

''Uh no, Sakata right? It's alright I've already got Okarun''. Togata says.

''Kinta, it's alright, Togata is trying to do this under the radar you know? Sorry it would be too suspicious''. Okarun explains.

''Yo you guys working on the....spaceship, OOH WEEE OHH WEE!''. Jiji says as he whispers mimicking flying with his body and making cringe spaceship sci-fi movie sounds.

''Can I come with?''. Jiji asks.

''Sure''. Togata replies.

''Of course Jiji''. Okarun says.

''HUH!!!??''. Kinta gasps in shock.

''How come he can come but not me!?''. Kinta shouts.

''Well...., it's nothing personal, it's just...I don't know you dude''. Togata says.

''And I frankly don't like your attitude!''. Tick says as a small ghost on Togata's shoulder.

''Stay out of this butler!''. Kinta shouts.

''Kinta, calm down, someone needs to watch Vamola anyway, so you can't come''. Okarun explains.

''Hmmm! I am quite experienced in sci-fi technology as I showed you before did I not pretty boy number 2!?''. Kinta says in rebellion.

''Uhh, Togata can Kinta and Vamola come with?''. Okarun asks sighing.

''He did look like he knew what he was doing earlier young master''. Tick reminds.

''I have to admit you analyzed Vamola's suit like a pro,....Fine, you can come just don't look suspicious''. Togata sighs.

''Yes! I will prove my worth pretty boy number 2!''. Kinta says.

Everyone heads to Togata's workshop and sit around a big table with a paper on it. Vamola plays with some of the tools.

''Do be careful young lady!". Tick warns as he goes to help her.

''Alright Ideas?''. Togata asks.

Okarun brings up his book reading through it. ''I don't know much about alien spacecraft but something common in all sightings is lights, they have a ton of lights maybe it's for a reason we can't understand''. Okarun says.

''Definitely anything else? Shape?''. Togata says drawing something.

''The regular flying saucer shape should do''. Kinta says.

''Oh oh! We should add a top hat on top like Tick has, it will be a very posh spaceship by golly!''. Jiji jokes.

''I do not speak like that Mr Enjoji!''. Tick says irritated.

''Great Tick you know what I'm thinking right?''. Togata asks.

Tick enters Togata's body and exits. ''Always young master''. He says as he begins to draw a detailed spaceship.

''There we go boys, went quicker than I thought, uhh Tick, you actually added the top hat?''. Togata says.

''I merely drew what I saw in your head young master Togata''. Tick says.

''Hehe I had it stuck in your head! Top hat it is!". Jiji smiles.

''Top....Hat''. Vamola says as she points at Ticks head.

''Oh my yes! What a smart girl you are! This is a Top hat! A regal head attire if I do say so myself''. Tick brags as he pats Vamola's head.

Togata just looks at Jiji with a deadpan. ''One last thing, I don't really know how to use Nano-skin so I'll need your help, who's the most experienced''. Togata asks.

''Well that would be''. Okarun says cut off by Kinta.

''Heheheheh, the world works in mysterious ways does it not! That would be me Kinta 'Incredible sculptor' Sakata! At your service!''. Kinta says.

''So is that it?''. Okarun asks.

''No one more thing, the materials, space is really hostile, Kinta, I'll call you one of these days to help you practice creating specific designs and materials, one wrong shape and BOOM!''. Togata says gesturing an explosion with his hands.

Kinta gulps in fear.

''Oh no need to worry, plump one, you are quite experienced are you not?''. Tick teases.

''Yes ghost butler! I feel no fear! you may call me anytime Pretty boy number 2, I'll make sure to commence research on as many alien movies to get the image perfect! I ask only one thing, I will pilot the ship!''. Kinta says.

''No!''. Jiji, Okarun and Tick shout.

''Thanks, no need to worry guys I trust him''. Togata says.

''HUH!? Thank you pretty boy number 2! You are officially my favorite pretty boy!''. Kinta gasps.

''Huh!? Why do you hate me so!!''. Jiji says dramatically.

Togata laughs. ''One last thing, I'd like to be promoted from pretty boy number 2 to number 1''. Togata replies.

''Consider it done''. Kinta says.

''No fair! I'm pretty boy number 1!''. Jiji shouts.

Okarun laughs.

''Well then if you wish not to be demoted plead your cause, what can you offer me?!''. Kinta shouts.

Jiji looks in his pocket and brings out a meat bun.

''Meat bun?''. He says.

''No''. Kinta replies.

''AHHHh! What do you want then!?''. Jiji shouts.

Togata, Okarun and Tick just laugh. Vamola mimicking them.

Everyone heads home as Togata sits in the mansion resting.

''Quite a productive day right young master? What shall we eat for dinner?''. Tick says.

''Yeah, just glad everything's been calm lately I can actually work, anything you want''. Togata replies.

Meanwhile outside some aliens arrive from a teleporter right outside Togata's gate as they stare at the mansion.

A slim alien in a body suit speaks some unknown language before it becomes translated.

''We seem to have arrived, this is the location we will find the fifth battery''. The alien says.

''Shall we commence with the attack?''. The other asks.

''No, the plan is not to capture him alive that is almost impossible, we must first eliminate the target inside the house''. The alien replies.

''Why must we take this approach, he cannot be stronger than the last boy we defeated''. The alien says.

''Yes, but according to the Serpoian information, this one has evaded capture for 8 years, they say his intelligence is close to theirs, he might not be as formidable in battle as the last boy we stole this ball from but he has a power that allows him to manipulate spacetime, and an apparition ally that can make him permeable to attacks, together making him untouchable''. The alien explains.

''Hmm, spacetime manipulation? And attack evasion. He will make a very powerful suit it seems''. Another alien says.

''Indeed, if we can kill him that is, commence the attack''. The alien says.

A big and wide alien jumps up and enters the yard creating a crater and shaking the ground.

''What was that!?''. Togata asks.

''Uhh, young master you might want to see this!''. Tick says staring out the window.

Togata walks over to the window where Tick is and they look outside to see the alien beginning an attack that sends missiles heading towards them.

''Commence second wave''. The alien says.

A smaller alien flying in the air sends a laser at Togata's mansion as well exploding the missiles.

''Oh my''. Tick says

''Suddenly BOOOM! The whole mansion explodes pieces of debris flying out towards the aliens who use some type of shield to block it.

''Well...., how are we going to recover the body like that? You have completely destroyed it''. An alien asks.

''Be quiet! Watch''. The alien says as he points towards the house.

Togata floats out of the flames his body transparent and his clothes torn as Tick exits his body, which now turns back to normal.

''Aliens! YOU DESTROYED OUR HOUSE!''. Tick shouts in anger.

''Uhgh! You couldn't do that in empty space? I just bought that mansion you damn shitheads''. Togata says pissed of as he transforms and walks towards them.

''Usually I would scold you for your language young master but this one time I concur! Those bastardous aliens must be dealt with! How rude!". Tick shouts as he puts his fists up dramatically.

''How has he survived!?''. An alien shouts.

''According to the Serpoian files they said and I quote, if the others are tough cookies,....This one is a brick wall''. The slim alien says as he takes a stance.

Togata walks towards them his head tilted with anger as he stares at the aliens.
