Soldiers of War and Fire: Chapter 2

It was now four o' clock in the afternoon here in the bustling city of Tokyo, Japan; and nothing seemed to be out of the place in the city... at the moment, at least. In one of the outskirts of the city, we come upon a slightly small suburb, where we soon come across the Hinata household. It is here in this house where we could see a green Keronian in a cleaning apron, cleaning some dishes in the sink. He wore a yellow hat that fit snugged around the top of his head; and there was a red star pin on the front of the hat. If the apron was not on him at the moment, you would see a yellow star-like pattern on his stomach.

This Keronian's name is Keroro; the 'Gunsou' of the Keroro Platoon that came here to Earth to invade it... Well, at least that was his mission five years ago. Now, he lives here to protect Pekopon from intruders; and build Gunpla, of course. It's what he does for fun in his spare time!

Anyway, we could see Keroro humming a small tune to himself while cleaning the dishes; well, at least until he suddenly hears something that distracts him, "Keroro!"

"Gero!" he yelped a little with surprise as he turned around to see Giroro standing behind him, "Don't do that! I was fully concentrating on cleaning these dishes!"

"This is not the time to be doing dishes, Keroro," Giroro started to say as he crossed his arms in annoyance, "I need you to come to the meeting room in about ten minutes; we're holding an emergency meeting."

"Gero?" muttered Keroro with a slight tilt of his head, "Okay, I guess I can come..."

"You don't have a choice but to come to it, Keroro!" snapped back Giroro with a bit of impatience in his voice, "There are also some Pekoponian women coming by for this meeting as well," he continued to say before he then started to leave the room, "I'll explain more of it when they get here and when the meeting starts."

Those statements made Keroro tilt his head even more, arching his eyebrow as he did, "Sure, sure; whatever you say, Giroro."

It was when Giroro left the room that Keroro went back to cleaning the dishes, now thinking about what the corporal said, 'Pekoponian women, eh?" he started to think to himself, "Why would they come here? And to an emergency meeting, of all things...' he then shot his head up at another thought, "I should tell Fuyuki about this emergency meeting!" he yelped slightly as he then put down the dishes he was doing and rushed off towards Fuyuki's room.



Meanwhile, back with Giroro, he was walking towards Kululu's lab front door, where he soon rung the alarm to get Kululu's attention, "Yes, what is it?" questioned Kululu's voice as his security camera examined who it was.

"I wanted to remind you about the emergency meeting coming soon, Kululu," Giroro stated to Kululu's intercom.

Kululu made a bit of a small grunt, "Of course I'll come; I wouldn't want to miss meeting these Pekoponian women, kukukuku..."

Giroro arched his eyebrow at his statement, but was interrupted by Kululu's voice again before he could reply back, "By the way, I've taken the liberty of doing a bit of research on these 'Sailor Senshi' that these Pekoponian women claim to be."

"R-Really...?" Giroro questioned with a bit of surprise; he had asked Kululu a little while ago to look them up, but he refused, "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Hmm, I suppose the curiosity of it all got the best of me, kukukuku..." was Kululu's reply as the door to his lab opened for Giroro, "Come on in and look at what I found."

Giroro soon entered Kululu's lab and made his way to where Kululu was; he was sitting in front of his computer in his computer chair, the light of the computer screen reflecting off the yellow Keronian's big, swirly glasses, "I'm sure you would find this information very interesting, kukukuku..." he stated as he pulled up the page of information on his computer for Giroro.

"Hmph, it better be..." Giroro mumbled before he started to read what Kululu had found. Giroro's eyes started to widen a little at what he was reading, "This... This is what they are?"

"Indeed it is, kukukuku," Kululu replied, "Sailor Senshi's are special warriors that protect the planets that are assigned to them; in the case you saw yesterday, five of them protect Pekopon. And yet, they are all assigned a different planet; like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and the Pekoponian's moon..."

"... It's probably because there's no life on those planets," Giroro stated.

"True, but I did happen to dig up some more information on the background of this particular group of Sailor Senshi," Kululu started to say again as he pulled up another window on his computer.

On the computer screen was a picture of a palace with Pekopon in the background of the starry sky, "Apparently, there was a kingdom on the moon and on the other planets in this system that use to exist about three thousand years ago, when Pekopon was still in infant stages of civilization. And according to some Keronian records back then..."

He then started to click around with his computer mouse and keyboard to get some more information up, but was soon interrupted by the alarm to get the Platoon's attention in the base suddenly rang out throughout the house, "Huh, oh well. Looks like you'll have to wait on that information," Kululu stated, earning him a small glare from Giroro, "It looks like they've finally arrived, kukukuku!"



Meanwhile, back at the doorstep of the Hinata's house, we could see eight women standing there, waiting for someone to come to the door. Five of the women there were the women that Giroro met earlier today; Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako, while the other three women were new faces to us so far. Two of the new women were much older than the other women. One of the older woman looked a bit much like a slender young man at first glance; she had very short, sandy blond hair and cool, blue eyes. The other older woman there was very feminine-looking; she had shoulder length, aquamarine blue hair that was partly wavy-looking everywhere and equally strong, aquamarine colored-eyes. The last new woman in the group looked to be the youngest of the group; she had shoulder blade-length, raven black hair with a tint of dark purple and cool, slightly dark-tinted violet eyes.

"Is this the house?" questioned the young raven haired woman named Hotaru as she turned and the other two women turned to the other five women.

"I'm pretty sure it is," Ami replied as she pressed the doorbell button to ring it, "He said that we should meet up at this address, so it must be this house."

"If what you say is true about this 'frog'," the sea bluenette woman named Michiru started to say, "He and his comrades should help us fight this new enemy, right?"

"Sounds too good to be true to me," stated the short haired woman named Haruka, crossing her arms across her chest as she did, "For all we know, he could be a part of them."

"Well, I didn't sense any kind of evil from him, Haruka," Rei replied to Haruka, "So we'll have to take his word for it to get the information we need."

Haruka was about to say some more things until the door to the house started to open. The door opened to reveal a woman around the age of the Inner Senshi; she had pinkish red hair that was pulled up into two ponytails, one on each side of her head, "Umm, yes?" she started to question as she saw the eight women standing there at her doorstep, "Is there something you need...?"

"Hey Natsumi!" called out a young male voice from up the next floor as the voice started to come down the stairs; he was a young man that seemed a bit younger than his sister. He had short hair that was sort of like a bowl cut shape; his hair was dark blue in color, and had equally dark blue eyes, "Gunsou said that there were some guests coming soon!" he continued to say as he soon saw the eight guests at the door, "Oh, their they are, good timing!"

"Huh?" the young woman named Natsumi questioned as she looked back and forth between the eight women and her brother, "What's going on here, Fuyuki? Do they know that stupid frog?"

'Stupid frog?' thought the five women that met the Keronian hours ago in confusion while the other three women arched an eyebrow in confusion as well.

"Well, not really," Fuyuki replied, scratching the back of his head as he did, "Gunso said that Giroro told him they were coming for some kind of emergency meeting."

"An emergency meeting? From Giroro?" asked Natsumi even further; she was surprised to hear that there was an emergency meeting, and that Giroro was the one who was hosting it, "What's it about?"

"I'm sure we can explain part of it if you let us in the house,” Haruka remarked a bit rudely, which earned her a small shove in her right side from Michiru's elbow, which made the other women with them chuckle.

"Oh, sorry about that!" Natsumi replied with a small, nervous laugh as the woman walked into the house, "I just wasn't informed that something was going on," she then pointed to a small door under the staircase next to them, "If you’re looking for them, your best bet in seeing them is finding them in Keroro's room down there."
