I do not own FLCL (Folly Cooly), nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Chapter Three
Disclaimer: See first chapter.
Notes: This is where the plot starts to deviate from the first version of Return of Atomsk. Also noteworthy is the fact I will not make this a dual arc story.
Chapter Three
Eri and Canti stayed by Naota’s side as he received treatment from the Interstellar Immigration Bureau’s medbots. Due to their highly advanced nanotechnology which far exceeded the level of Earth's nanotech, Noata’s bones were reconstructed in a mere two minutes.
A stunned Eri simply said, “wow.”
Naota jumped out of the stretcher and flexed his arms. “I feel awesome!”
The medbot informed them of Amarao’s orders. “Now that you are healed, please report to Commander Amarao on the bridge.”
“Uh, yeah, where is that?” This was a pretty damn big ship, after all.
“Your droid should be able to uplink to the layout on our public FTP server and guide you there.”
“Sweet.”

The armored blast doors, which lead to the bridge, opened up to let Naota, Eri, and Canti in.
Naota pointed out the obvious superior technology of the ship as he gazed upon the outworldly controls which seemed prototypical of many sci-fi programs. “Pretty high tech.”
Amarao, in the center most seat, and Kitsurubami, in the center right seat, knowing of their presence, stood up and turned to the them, saluting.
Eri, being the wiser, spoke of a concern, “I hope this won’t take too long. My parents will freak out when they wake up and can’t find us.”
Amarao smiled. “This shouldn’t even take an hour.”
The young man inquired, “so, who is the psychopath that attacked us?”
Amarao ordered, “captain, care to tell them about your research?”
The ganguro replied, “yes sir. The man you encountered was Artemis, younger brother of the space pirate king, Atomsk. He is every bit as powerful as his brother, yet far more evil. He has managed to destroy several dozen planets and even a few star systems with his massive ki. This is all we know about him. Just like Medical Meccanica, his existence is shrouded in mystery”
The IIB commander added, “we also have evidence that they are both tied to the Nordic Pantheon of gods, who aren't really gods but remnants of an extremely ancient civilization who ascended to a higher plane of existence. Unfortunately, we don't know how high in the echelon they reside.”
Naota gulped. “Either way, this sounds pretty bad for us.”
Amarao agreed. “It is, but all is not lost. We have millions of officers on the lookout for Atomsk as we speak. I’m sure he will help us once we explain the situation to him.”
Eri asked, “what about the Ragnarok?”
Amarao replied, “Ragnarok is known as some sort of apocalypse in Norse pagan terms. In reality, it is the sword of Odin which has the power to destroy entire galaxies.”
Both earthlings yelled in unison, “but that’s insane!”
“That’s why we are searching for the Excalibur,” Kitsurubami explained, “it has the power to restore whatever the Ragnarok destroys. It is these two swords which maintain balance in this universe.”
Eri, knowing that they hadn't got their bases covered, inquired, “what are we supposed to do until your agents find the means for helping us, whether it be Excalibur or Atomsk?”
Amarao had the answer. “Kitsurubami and I will be going under cover as your body guards. We will be keeping an eye on you.”
Mayor Ninamori’s daughter did not like the idea. “Just make sure you make yourselves invisible to my parents.”
One of the bridge bunnies spoke up. “Commander, we should be landing in Okinawa in two minutes”
Amarao grinned. “See? We made it to Pluto and back in less than a half hour, and that's only with sub light engines!”
Naota and Eri's jaws dropped to the floor in disbelief.

Morning came, and so much for making things invisible. When Shobuo and Suzuko woke up, they were quite startled to see Naota and Eri sharing the adjacent bed, but that was not all. On the floor, a certain threesome cuddled in a sleeping bag, a man with thick eyebrows, a ganguro girl, and an eight feet tall robot, with a TV head at that.
Suzuka cursed internally, 'they must have partied all night long! Damn that scoundrel Nandaba!'
In spite of this, Shobuo smiled, “they have their clothes on, what a relief!”
Suzuka mumbled, “you’re too liberal for your own good.”
Outside the cabin, hovering 15 or so meters above, Artemis held a ball of black ki energy in his right hand. He whispered to himself, “let’s flush the rats out!” The energy was dropped on the cabin, instantly setting it ablaze.
In a couple seconds, everyone ran out of there; Eri, followed by Naota, Suzuka, Kitsurubami, Shobuo, Amarao, and Canti.
The evil brother of Atomsk, a wicked smile on his profile, shouted out to his potential victims. “Naota Nandaba, I sure hope none of your friends got burned!” He laughed a sinister laugh.
Naota looked up to see his stalker. He growled, “What the hell do you want from me?”
Artemis more or less gave him and answer. “You are already aware of that fact. In other news, you and that robot have been infused with the power of my brother, but it seems you don’t have the ability to unleash it at your own free will.” He pointed his left index finger at Eri. “I wonder what would happen if I killed your mate?” Before anyone could register what he said, he shot a laser out of his left index finger, and pierced the girl’s stomach. She fell to the ground, lifeless.
Naota and the Ninamori’s screamed, “Eri!”
Both Suzuka and Naota knelt over the girl, each about ready to cry. Shobou stood right behind his wife. 'What the hell is going on here?'
Amarao drew his Desert Eagle .44 and Kitsurubami drew her Glock 17. They began firing upon the vile beast, though their bullets could not penetrate his rock hard flesh. All the while, the male agent took out a PDA-like device. “Battle Cruiser Supernova, get a medical team down to Okinawa, Japan at once! Repeat, get a medical team down to Okinawa, Japan right now!”
Artemis simply laughed at the carnage. Twenty seconds later, a battle cruiser space ship descended upon the Earth, much to his dismay. “Well, Nandaba, we will be sure to meet again.” With the blow of a whistle, his Black Vespa came to him, and he rode off.
Naota’s eyes began to glow red as he glared at the escaping fiend. Next time we meet, I will kill you with my own hands!

Eri was standing again, thanks to the IIB medbots. Both her mother and Naota hugged her, relieved that she was still alive. All three of them were in tears, formerly believing all was lost.
The Mayor of Mabase growled at Amarao, “I don’t know what the hell your agency does, but it damn well better involve killing that heartless beast.”
Amarao averted his gaze in shame. “I can only capture it, I have no say if it lives or dies.”
Shobuo spat in the utmost contempt, “useless organization!”
Suzuka finally got off her daughter, and left the kids alone.
They headed outside of the ship and cuddled on the soft grass behind their cabin, relieved to be alone, relieved to feeling each other’s warmth.
“Naota, I've never so frightened in my life. I though for sure I was never going to see you again.”
“I felt the same way, I was really sad.”
She buried her head in his chest, and whispered, “I like you, Naota-kun.”
“Yeah?”
“I'm just kidding,” she giggled, “I love you and you know it.”
“I love you too, Eri.”
He smiled, she smiled. For the time being, they could be happy.

In another realm, outside of time and space...
In a dimly lit hall, a massive hall at that, Artemis had an insanely large fist collide with his face, making purple blood erupt from his mouth.
It knocked him down, his ass cratering against the cold metal floor with a great thud.
“You would dare defy me? You would dare use my own weapon against me?” The voice was very deep and most frightening.
“Of course not, my lord! You know I only intended it for Atomsk, for he has been a thorn in your side!”
“You're such a liar!” said an unannounced female voice.
Even though this woman was barely visible due to the encompassing darkness, one could make out short pink hair and yellow eyes.
“My lord,” the evil brother of Atomsk begged, “what is this treacherous Rehu doing here?”
“I have assigned her to spy on you. Your demeanor has been suspicious as of late, and thanks to her, I know full well of your mutinous plans.”
“How can you trust this lowly Rehu?”
“Silence, you incompetent scum!”
Artemis dared not question any further.
“I am well aware that she is quite deviant and is only out to further herself. Of course, how can I judge? Am I, Overlord of Aesir, any different?”
“No.”
“Indeed. Now, Valkyrie Admiral Artemis, since I am such a benevolent ruler, I will spare your life on the condition you pledge your loyalty to me, or suffer the same fate as your brother.”
He approached the man hidden in the pitch black shade and knelt before him. “You have my sword, eternal Master of Darkness... Odin.”
“Very well. Rehu, I'll let you take care of his corporal punishment.”
“What?!”
“Doubting my judgment again, Artemis?”
“No, master!”
“Very well. Rehu!”
“Yes, your highness!” The woman, known as Haruko to most, Raharu to a trusted few, gleefully accepted her duty to administer Artemis' physical pain. She unstrapped the Gibson EB-0 from her shoulder as she slowly approached her prey. When she stood before him, she lifted then repeatedly brought the guitar up and down as she laid the smackdown on the younger brother of Atomsk.
In the darkness, Odin grinned with a near sadistic joy as the music of shattered bones and Artemis' screams vibrated against his ear drums.
End Chapter Three.
