Chapter Five
Artemis was enjoying a peaceful nap on the moon. Indeed, the life of a mutinous Valkyrie serial killer was very tiresome. However, he received a rude awakening as UV rays began to shine in his eyes. 'Fuggin’ A!' He shot up from lying on his back. 'Might as well get to work.' He took some time to reflect on the hundreds of IIB ships he destroyed to acquire his new weapons, and emitted a wicked grin. After sheathing both the Ragnarok and Excalibur, he walked roughly six feet to his left and sat down on his Black Vespa. 'Get ready to die, Nandaba!' He revved up the Vespa’s engine then flew towards the earth, enthused about the battle to come.

Tuesday. The alarm clock on Naota’s desk flickered 6:59 AM. One minute later, an irritating buzz filled the room. The boy got up from the bed on the bottom bunk and shut the alarm off. He was tired, groggy like fuggin’ hell. He then recalled last night’s incident that kept him up until 2:00 AM!

Flashback...
The alarm clock on Naota’s desk flickered 12:30 AM. Naota was tucked away, sleeping like a baby. A minute or so later, sounds came from the room next door. It almost sounded like someone was jumping on the bed. The young lad’s eyes shot open. Upon noticing he had been rudely awakened, he glared into the darkness. 'What’s making that noise?' He recalled that Amarao and Kitsurubami were staying with him to keep a close eye on things. Naota tossed and turned and bed, trying to return to slumber. Even trying to muffle out the sound with a pillow did not help.
At 12:38, the bed jumping got louder and louder. Naota groaned. 'What the hell are they doing in there?'
His question would not be answered until 12:42 AM, when a yell of passion sounded through out the Nandaba bakery. “Oh Kitsu, you feel so good!” Several moans, both male and female, followed thereafter.
Naota had a massive frown on his profile. 'Stupid, immature grownups.'

The boy sank back to bed. “I’m not going to school today,” he muttered in his breath. He laid on his back, staring at the bottom of the top bunk. For some reason, he got the phrase unfamiliar ceiling: the beast stuck in his head. Probably something he saw in one of Kamon’s favorite animation franchises. The boy then faintly remembered his dad’s hot selling book, The Mysteries of EVA – The Ultimate Guide to Neon Genesis Evangelion.
He didn’t have much more time to think when his dad knocked on his door. “Nao, breakfast.”
((((section divider))))
Naota entered the dining area. Shigekuni and Kamon sat at the left side, Kitsurubami and Amarao at the other, while Kanchi was at the head of the table.
The boy walked to the far side of the table and plopped down, eyeing the food. Their breakfast consisted of Miso soup, grilled fish, and steamed rice.
“Sleep well?” Kamon inquired.
Naota’s gaze met with his father’s, and he sighed with contempt. He averted his gaze to both Amarao and Kitsurubami. “No, I didn’t… thanks to them.”
Amarao and Kitsurubami knew what he meant, and they both blushed.
Kamon swiftly stood up. “Ah ha!” The animation suddenly switched to Manga form! “You two were fooly coolying, weren’t you?”
They forced a smile, both fidgeting under the pressure of people’s stares…except Naota, who couldn't really care less.
Kamon’s profile emitted an unusually large grin. “You were Fooly Coolying! I knew it!” A very depressing look over took his profile. “Oh, why can’t I ever get any luck? Why can’t I fooly cooly too? Fooly cooly, FOOLY COOLY!”
Kiturubami looked down, trying to avert her gaze from everyone. “It’s not that big of a deal.”
Naota’s dad shook with rage… either that, or excitement. “No big deal, you say? NO BIG DEAL?”
The scene switched back to animation. Naota hurried to scarf down all the food he possibly could. He just couldn’t stand to hang around these people when it involved some stupid, immature innuendo.

Naota went for a walk. The surrounding world was nothing but a haze to him. He reached inside the left pocket of his JNCOs and took out his pack of Never Knows Best-brand cigarettes and a gold, dragon-shaped torch lighter. Upon lighting up, he inhaled the smoke, savoring the flavor and the warmth. 'I don’t have anything else to live for, just my cancer sticks, alcohol, and cocaine.' He was depressed about something. 'It’s not like anyone appreciates me anyway. My father and grandfather don’t talk to me about anything, except their perverted fantasies. Tasuku rarely writes to me anymore, Masashi and Gaku moved away, Haruko was using me, Mamimi was under a spell that made her think I was my brother, and Eri…' He thought hard. 'I don’t want to drag her into a life of delinquency… it’s best if we don’t see each other anymore.'
When he walked by sewer entrance near the train tracks, the sound of sniffles filled his ear. He looked down the concrete stairwell, and what he saw took him by surprise. “Eri?”
The class representative, in a traditional Japanese schoolgirl uniform, was crouched in the corner of the narrow passage, knees propped up and her head resting against them. She slowly looked up and saw him running to her aide. She forced a shy smile. “Naota…”
'Why is she skipping school?' The biggest delinquent of Mabase Senior High could see the tears in her eyes. “What happened?”
She sniffled again before she spoke. “It’s my parents…”
Naota gazed upon her thoughtfully. “Um, what about them?”
“They’re getting divorced.” Fresh tears began to stream again.
The young man knew this would not be a good time to break up with her. “I’m sorry.” He turned his back to her. “I guess I should leave you alone.”
“No!”
He turned around, and met her gaze. “I’m not sure if…”
She interrupted him, “you’re all I have left. Please don’t leave me!” Her voice lowered to a barely audible whisper, “don’t leave me.”
It hit him in the stomach like a knife. 'I can’t believe I thought of dumping her! You’re really stupid, Naota! Really fucking stupid!' Naota’s guilt had begun to swallow him whole.
“There’s nothing left for us here.”
“Huh?”
She got up, wiping her tears. Her gaze met his steadily. It was as if she had something really important to tell him. “Let’s runaway together…you and me.”
“Um, where too?”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Foolish children!” Before she could answer, a sinister aura infested the atmosphere.
Naota could see the horror in Eri’s eyes. He knew that voice. His eyes were narrowed when he turned around to face him. Their guest was standing at the top of the stairwell. “Artemis…”
The man in black was smiling. “I have a surprise for you.” He had two iron sheaths strapped around his back, and he pulled out his two new swords. “Allow me to introduce my good friends, Ragnarok and Excalibur. With these, I am invulnerable!”
Naota looked back to Eri. He whispered, “don’t worry, I’ll protect you this time.”
She merely hummed due to the fact she was petrified.
He turned back to face Artemis with a grin. “How would you like to see my friend?” A horn began to grow from the boy’s head.
Artemis knew what this meant. “I see your N-O channel is reactivating. This is most welcoming!”
“What are you talking about?”
“I need to test the power of these blades, and seeing that your dormant power surpasses my own, you should prove to be a sufficient test!”
Naota scowled, “you know what? You're a fucking douche!”
The villian chuckled. “Do not say such harsh things. After all, I’m willing to spare your life if you join me in my conquest of all things.”
Naota’s confident smile emerged as a horrific obsidian light tore through his horn. “I’m sorry, but it seems I have to decline your offer.” What came through the portal? A black replica of 1961 Gibson EB-Zero! He grabbed hold of the guitar’s neck, ready to do battle.
Suddenly, a couple of high-impact lasers came crashing into Artemis’ back, but they reflected off of him harmlessly. He turned to his attackers, who were standing about thirty feet behind him. “Commander Amarao and Captain Kitsurubami, how nice of you to stop by. I see you have some new toys, but it won’t be enough!”
Naota saw this as an opportune moment. He jumped seven or so feet into the air and brought the butt of the Gibson down on the back of Artemis’s skull as hard as he possibly could. The sheer force of the blow caused an explosive shockwave… but it wasn’t enough!
Artemis turned back to Naota with a near sadistic smile gracing his features. “Is that the best you can do?”
Naota, Eri, Amarao, and Kitsurubami looked on in fear. As long this monster held on to both Excalibur and Ragnarok, he would be virtually prone to any attack.
End Chapter Five.
