Chapter Four
Naota, though overjoyed that Eri’s life had been spared, he was sure it was nothing more than luck. Thinking there was a huge possibility that she could have been offed, thinking the next encounter with that sociopath would yield tragic results, he felt a vicious, infernal hatred. Hatred for Artemis, the one who tried to kill his lover. Above all else, hatred for himself, for he was unable to protect her.
“I’m so sorry...” Naota lay back on the grass, while Eri comfortably rested her head against his chest.
The girl was confused. “Sorry for what?”
Naota spoke his mind. “Sorry that I was unable to rescue you…I feel so useless.”
Eri looked up at him. “Naota, don’t say that. I don’t except you to protect me from some psychopath that has magic powers.”
Naota did not agree. “No. A part of Atomsk is lying dormant inside of me. I should have been able to put up a fight.”
“Naota…”
“I just don’t think I deserve you. I mean, you make straight A’s, you’re drug free, you’re beautiful, and so much more. On the other hand, I barely manage to pull a D average, I’m addicted to several substances including coke, and I’m just plain lazy. Your parents have every reason to dislike me.”
The young Ninamori got up and straddled him. She took his hands in hers, caressing them.
“Eri?”
“Naota-kun, I want to help you. Please, allow me to help you.”
“Um, okay.”
She smiled. “Good!” The girl stood up and brushed herself off. “You said Haruko left her bass guitar with you, right?”
“Yeah…”
“Maybe you should try swinging it around…”
Naota cocked an eyebrow. “Huh?”
“Maybe you’ll master it, the same way she did.”
The boy shrugged. “I guess anything is possible.” Indeed, being witness to some of the zaniest shenanigans, he was pretty much a living testament to the fallacy of all limits.

Back in Mabase...
The weekend was over and it was time for some serious training. Monday mid afternoon, Noata aimlessly wielded the Rickenbacker around in the backyard of his family's bakery, trying his best to emulate Haruko's psychotic fighting style.
Eri, Kanchi, Amarao, and Kitsurubami sat down, watching the boy train vigorously. Amarao decided that it would be best to watch over him full time without hindrance, thus he and Kitsurubami took temporary leave from the IIB to do just that.
Eri wooed the boy. “Go Naota! You look like a real champ!”
All the while, the IIB commander grinned down the gigantic, high-tech, rail gun-like weapon in his hands.

Flashback: The campsite
After the Battle Cruiser Supernova landed, two medbots, one pushing a nano-powered stretcher, ran out to assist Eri’s recovery. A human, who was dressed in orange, full-body armor and had a flattop hairstyle, followed soon after. He saluted, “commander Amarao, sir!”
“Agent Freeman, it seems we’re in a bad situation. Kitsurubami and I will need to keep on eye on Mister Nandaba, thus I will leave you in charge of the Interstellar Immigration Bureau for the time being.”
“Thank you, sir. I carry out this responsibility with the utmost effort.” Agent Freeman saluted again.
Amarao knew his puny weapons were not enough to faze the mighty Artemis. “I would like you to do me a favor, Gordon.”
“Yes commander?”
Amarao asked, “could I borrow one of your fancy Black Mesa Tau Cannons?”
“Uh...”
“Pretty please with sugar on top?”
End Flashback.

Amarao chuckled to himself as he eyed his precious Tau Cannon. 'Just you wait, Artemis! Tee hee! I look so cool with this, and my eyebrows of course! Ooh, can’t forget my totally rad sideburns!' He was indeed full of himself.

In the Rehu palace, a ripped man with red hair, battle scars, Ray Bans, black leather pants, steel boots, and a Led Zeppelin T-shirt sat high atop the throne, atop a 100-step flight of stairs. It was Atomsk, space pirate king, assuming his human form. A woman in a tight red and black outfit with white boots and gloves of the same color sat in an adjacent throne. She had pink hair and greenish yellow eyes. She observed the man who was deep in thought.
“What’s wrong with you?” Raharu inquired in her usual high-pitched voice.
“I can sense Odin's power growing every day.”
Raharu pretended not to see the big deal. “And?”
Atomsk narrowed his eyes as he spoke the grim truth, “that boy is our only hope, yet even he could will never be able to triumph over the dark master.”
Raharu shrugged it off. “He hasn’t unlocked his true power yet.”
Artemis was not done with his speech, however. “It seems Artemis has found both Ragnarok and Excalibur…”
The pink haired wonder growled viciously. “What the hell? Why didn’t you tell me he was so close to finding it earlier? You know what this means, right? WE’RE TOTALLY SCREWED!”
“My love,” the pirate king spoke with concern, “what has gotten into you.”
She mocked innocence in her reply as she raised her hands in mirrored wiper motions. “Nothing at all, I guess I'm just paranoid.”

Meanwhile, on the moon, Artemis was lying on his back, looking to the stars above. Lying next to him were two swords, one forged from a silver diamond, the other from a black diamond. He smiled, deciding today was a good day to be evil! 'I have both Ragnarok and Excalibur, now nobody can touch me…even Atomsk or that stupid punk of a gatekeeper. Even Odin will have his work cut out for him!'
The suburbia of Mabase was soon in for a hellish ride. Especially those close to the one known as Naota Nandaba.

Hours later...
Odin was sitting atop his throne in absolute darkness, as always. When he spotted Raharu approaching closer and closer to the darkness, he addressed her, “what is it, Rehu?”
“My lord, Artemis now has both the Excalibur and Ragnarok in his possession.”
The dark lord chuckled. “I already knew that, but I applaud your loyalty none-the-less... Admiral Raharu.”
She swiftly knelt before him. “You do me such honor!”
“I feel I can trust you, unlike Artemis or Atomsk.”
“I will do whatever you bid of me.”
“Indeed you will. Now, for the first step in my plan...”
Odin held all the cards. His power being infinite, Atomsk, Artemis, Raharu, Noata, Medical Meccanica, the Space Police Brotherhood, and the Interstellar Immigration Beareau were all insignificant next to him. However, despite these facts, he had an agenda, but it was unknown to everyone.
End Chapter Four.
