Smoke was heavy in the air as Keitaro woke up, as was heat. He opened his eyes, and blinked as fire dominated his vision.
"KEITARO! KEITARO!" Naru shouted. "KEITARO! OPEN THE DOOR!" She pounded on the door frantically.
"Gah!" Keitaro shouted, shooting up to his feet. He looked around his room quickly. All of his books, his desk, his clothes, they were all on fire.
"Oh man...!" He looked around and ran for the closet, hoping to salvage whatever he could. He narrowed his eyes, scanning, before they snapped wide open.
"KEITARO! GET OUT OF THERE!" Naru shouted. "KEITARO!"
He kneeled down and grabbed a bundle of clothing wrapped around an artifact, totally untouched by the flames. He looked back at the flames, and thought furiously.
Okay, okay, what do I do? What do I do? Oh, wait, duh! Keitaro sucked in his breath, as deeply and powerfully as he could. The oxygen remaining in the air was taken away in one quick breath, and the fire snapped out of existence leaving a blackened, ruined room.
Naru smashed through the door, air rushing into the room. The force of the suction sent Naru crashing to the floor, face first.
"AHH!"
She pulled herself up and locked onto Keitaro. She got up and hugged him tightly.
"Keitaro! Keitaro, what happened?! Are you all right? What...?" She gaped in disbelief as his nightshirt came apart under her arms. "HEY! COVER UP!"
"Hey, it's not my fault!" Keitaro protested. Naru made a sound of disgust and shook her head.
"Nevermind! We need to get ready!"
"Huh? What-?"
She grabbed his hand and dragged him out. Keitaro held tightly onto his bundle, as Naru yanked him downstairs. In the living room, the rest of the Hinata Sou's residents were gathered around the television. Kitsune was fitting on combat fatigues, Motoko was donning armor, Su was checking out a fleet of Mecha Tamas, and Shinobu was packing up food and supplies, looking as though she was barely keeping herself from crying.
"Uh... What's going on?" Keitaro asked.
"Alien invasion," Su said quickly. "Getting ready to fight."
"What? Getting ready to fight? Alien invasion?" Keitaro asked.
"Yes!"
"Only you would sleep through an alien invasion," Motoko huffed. "We're going to do what we can do."
"Wait, you mean, go and fight them?" Keitaro asked. "Why?"
"Because he's here for someone," Kitsune replied. She pointed at the TV. "See?"
Keitaro looked at the TV screen and jumped over a Mecha-Tama to the couch. A reporter was speaking, and at the words spoken he found the chaos and activity behind him fading away into the background.
"-invasion's motive, as stated by the leader Kagato, is to kill the lone survivor of a single world he destroyed before. Government officials are attempting to find this individual, only it is known that he apparently arrived here twenty-two years ago..."
Keitaro stared intently. He slowly looked down at the bundle in his hands. He heard Naru saying something and looked back at her.
"Huh?"
"I said, are you going to just sit there? Even if you're useless we're going to need everyone we can to help fight!" Naru said.
"Especially if this person he's looking for isn't going to show," Motoko said flatly.
"... Guys, I think I know who this guy is looking for," Keitaro said quietly. He felt everyone's stares on him.
"Huh?" Shinobu asked.
"How?" Su asked.
"Who?" Naru asked.
"Let me guess, it's you right?" Kitsune asked sarcastically.
Keitaro took a deep breath, and stood up. He turned around, and pulled open the bundle of clothing. Inside of it lay a piece of silver metal, glowing lines going through it and pulsating lightly.
"Yeah. It's me."
