"…alert, alert, alert…" The alarm continued ringing, filling the halls and floors.
"Found the intruders yet?"
"No, keep searching. It's probably those Keronjins."

We all exiled in relief as the sound of two Vipers' footsteps echoing through the hall ways gradually became further and further away.
Garuru Chui cautiously tucked his head outside of the dark corner we were hiding in and looked around.
"Seems like they are gone," he said.

"S, sorry de arimasu," Taichou sobbed while sitting on the ground, burying his head in his knees, "I just wanted to save them. I didn't mean to cause everyone trouble."
"Stop being so useless and get up," Giroro Senpai said coldly, "how can you even call yourself a soldier?"
"Giroro-kun," Pururu Kangochou threw him warning look, and kneeled down beside Taichou. "It's fine Keroro-kun, now let's go rescue them. They must be waiting for you."
"Th, thank you, Pururu-chan," Taichou said quietly, and finally standing up with the support of Pururu's arm.

Garuru Chui looked sort of jealous, while Senpai was clearly disturbed. Kuku, I could read people's emotions so well.

"Everyone, we cannot fail this mission," Garuru Chui said in a serious tone, "by the Vipers' conversation, it's established that the hostages are kept in the main meeting room. We need to first rescue them, then defeat and capture their leader, hopefully with the seven of us. Now that our presence had been discovered, it would be much harder, but we still need to try our bests. It has been proved that Vipers cannot see through our invisibility barriers, but the only ones that still have theirs unbroken is me,"
"And Kururu," Senpai added.
Garuru Chui looked at me and nodded, "I will lead, and you get on the lookout of any other Vipers."
"Kuku, easy."

We walked through the Viper's base as quietly as we possibly could. Most of the enemies were in chaos and distracted by the huge hole Taichou created on their wall earlier, which luckily turned out to be an advantage for us.
We lost connection to everyone else, two were captured, and three were injured and had their anti-barriers broken, but half of the two platoons are still together. I guess you could call this the best of the worst situation.

Just when I was wondering how long we were going to keep walking, Garuru Chui suddenly stopped.
"I think we are here." He whispered.

We slowly approached the pair of tall metal doors and went in, avoiding any sudden movements.

It was pitch black inside the room. No one dared making any sounds without knowing our surroundings. Slowly, my eyes started to adjust. I could make out the shapes of the other four Keronjins around me, but nothing more. Damn, there wasn't one window in this room.
How could we look for them without even being able to see?

Suddenly, lights blinded my vision.
"Hehehe, Keronjins…"

Everyone's head immediately went in the same direction. A Viper stood at the other end of the room with his hand on the light switch. A clear crystal was carved on his forehead; he was the leader.
"Looks like my little plan of pretending to leak out information actually worked and made you guys think that those two idiot comrades of yours are really in here, hun?"

"Damn it," Senpai cursed. "We got tricked."

"Sorry to disappoint you, but you've fell into my trap." The Viper let out a high pitched laugh.

Garuru Chui eyed me while moving toward him with a gun. Right, he couldn't see us. We could secretly approach him while his attention was focused on the three Keronjins in front of him.
I opened my laptop and walked on the tip of my toes. The two of us got closer and closer towards him silently.

Garuru Chui pointed his gun at the Viper while I put my finger on my keyboard. He walked even closer, trying to create the greatest damage possible when he fires. The distance between them was less than 2 meters. Everyone else held their breaths, but not daring to look directly at him, afraid that the Viper will notice. Even I was a little nervous.
Tension pushed down on us. If this didn't work, we were doomed.

Everyone was in shock when the Viper swung out his arm and grabbed Garuru Chui by the neck.

"Hehehe, looks like you guys underestimated us." He grinned evilly.
He punched Garuru several times until the anti-barrier was broken. The purple soldier dropped his gun as the grip of the enemy's giant hand around his neck tightened.

"Nee-chan!" Senpai yelled. His eyes widened.

"Oh, so it's you." The Viper said, bring Garuru Chui in front of his face, it really seemed like he couldn't see him before the barrier was broken, but then how did he know? "You killed two of my subordinate."
"How…how did you…see me..?" Garuru was barely able to make out any words. The Viper was choking him hard.

"I'm sure you think that I couldn't. You're right, but what you didn't know was, when my brother's best friend's wife's teacher's son and his neighbour's comrade's tutor's boss's brother in law attacked you earlier, they placed a bug on you that sends out electro waves."

Shit, how could I have missed that?

"Hehehe, now prepare to die, Keronjin," said the Viper.
"No! Garuru!" Pururu Kangochou tried to attack the Viper with her syringe, but was slapped to the side. She hit the wall hard and slid off onto the ground. Garuru Chui groaned.

The Viper snapped his finger and his free arm transformed into a gun. He pointed it at the helpless Chui's head and smiled at us.
Everyone froze, time paused.

"Game Over."

"NEE-CHAN-!"

"Assassin Magic, Fatally Cleave!"
"Taichou!"

All I saw was a fasting moving reflecting light of metal, and then the Viper fell to the ground.

Zoruru had his metal claws placed right above the Viper's neck, not allowing him to move, and Taruru helped his leader who escaped death at the last minute stand up. Everyone rushed over to him.
"Taichou, are you okay?"
Garuru Chui coughed, getting his breath back.

"Damn, Keroro Gunsou, you were fast," Taruru said, "Do you know how much work it was trying to catch up to you? Where's Tamama Shishou? Haven't you guys rescued him yet?"
"Err, apparently we were tricked de arimasu." Taichou scratched the back of his head. "We actually have no idea where they are."

"Hey you," Zoruru said to the Viper in a threatening tone, "where's Zeroro and the other kid?"

"Hehehe, they are right there."
The Viper Pointed at the door. Zoruru reflexively turned his head, only to find himself being smacked hard from the back, sending him flying across the room. He regained his balance before landing.

"You little insects dare to threaten me? I'll make you pay!" He yelled while pointing his gun right at the ceiling. After a loud and bright explosion, cement and bricks started to fall massively. There were dusts everywhere.

I shielded my head with my arms. Screw the laptop, I could get a new one any time.
After a while the noises stopped. I stood up, rubbed my glasses with my hands, trying to gain back my vision. Everyone was trying to stand up from the mess, all covered in dirt.

"Now that I'm exposed to radiation, there's no way that just a few Keronjins like you could beat me."

We all looked up to where the voice was coming from.
The Viper stood in mid-air, had his arms crossed, with the crystal on his forehead shining ever so bright.
