Chapter 10: The Battle To Take Back Herta Space Station (I)
Only when she flipped her hair did the group realise that her hair was long - it was just hidden on their blind sides!
Yet all it did was accentuate her beauty
As they gawked at the young teenager walking anxiously towards them, she realised they were looking at her, and in a brief moment of bashfulness, she tripped over some debris, causing her to skid over the floor, bashing her face. As she got up rubbing her head, she saw herself face-to-face with a scary man, covered in scars and two bolts...hammered into his skull!?
Shaking her head, she got up as womanly as possible, dusting herself off. "Mhmm! Hello gentlemen and gentle ladies, my name is Asta, and I'm the Lead Researcher of this space station." Here she gave a curtsey, gaining the admiration of the crew. "But sorry for the...disastrous meeting. As you can see, we've been attacked by the Antimatter legion of Nanook. My Head of Security Arlan is already battling with the army of Nanook, but as of now, he is currently in a...tight position, as to speak."
Glancing around the room, she saw remnants of the Antimatter legion scattered everywhere: Reavers split in half, Eliminators headless, Distorters split in half. A Trampler was even seen missing the upper portion of their body!
Gulping, she turned her attention back to the crew, or more specifically, the three newcomers: Shinji, Himiko, and Dr. Killinger. Steeling herself, she asked them for help. "U-umm, if possible, could you please help us eradicate Nanook's army? You'll be rewarded handsomely..."
Hearing 'rewards', Himiko's ears perked up. "Do you mean, if I destroy these monsters, I can get my own spaceship!?"
Taken aback, Asta reflexively answered. 'Uhh...yeah, I can give–"
"Yay! No taksy backsides! C'mon guys, for SS HimiCute!"
Sighing resignedly, Shinji called out to her. "Wait Himiko, you will not go alone. I shall designate you all into groups, for your safety..."
Stopping in her tracks, Himiko pouted cutely. "Mou... fine, I shall listen, o great leader..."
Not taking heed of her jab, Shinji swiftly split the groups up. "Dr. Killinger, you shall go with Ms. Himeko and Mr. Yang, to the storage zone and the supply zone, making sure that none of the dangerous artifacts are damaged or loose."
"Got it."
"Himiko, you shall go with Ms. Asta and Mr. Arlan, towards tbe ventral control zone and the base zone, trying to rescue as many civilians and researchers as possible. If wounded, you know what to do Himiko..."
"Gotcha boss! Spaceship, here I come!"
"And I'll go with the rest to the seclusion zone. I'm picking some bad signals from there. I pray that I'm wrong, and everything is just an error..."
Hearing these ominous words, everyone grew scared. Just as they were abou to ask him what Shinji meant, Dr. Killinger clapped his hands. "Alright you Silly Billys, you heard the man. Let's go and save this station..."
