Description: After an unsettling discovery, Keroro and Eve set off on a mission



[They always went to open the stores before they set out for a mission. Today they weren't able to do that and it wasn't because they didn't have time.

It honestly made Eve a little angry at what happened, and she was determined to find whoever did this and put them behind bars.

Still, this wasn't the time to worry about that. They had a mission to finish, after all.]

[It wouldn't have worked (mostly because I play both Eve and Giroro).

That rumbling seemed ominous though. Eve doesn't panic, however and instead just turns her head towards the direction of the rumbling curiously.

Ah.]

I don't think we need to worry about that any more.

[starfruitfrog]

Eh?

[And the slug chooses that moment to burst out of the ground.]

[nolicenseyet]

[Eve wordlessly bent down and scooped Keroro into her arms and jumped backwards, putting distance between them and their enemy.]

[starfruitfrog]

[They managed to not be snacked on. Barely.

The slug crashes back into the ground, leaving a hole and a rumbling sound.]

E-Eve-dono! Wh-What do we do, de arimasu?!

[nolicenseyet]

We fight.

[Obviously. Might want to transform, there, partner.]

[starfruitfrog]

R-Right, de arimasu!

[Keroro reaches for Eve's hand before he wills the change, taking a deep breath and matching his wavelength with hers.]

[nolicenseyet]

[Keroro's wavelength is so familiar by this point that their resonation snaps into place easily. She adjusted her grip on Keroro's Weapon form so that she could press the Realization button...

...and not a moment too soon because the ground rumbles again as the slug comes towards them.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Since Eve didn't specify, Keroro pictures a pair of Altron Gundam claws in his mind.

They form in front of Eve in a glow of green energy.]

[nolicenseyet]

[...she really needed to get him a holster. She reaches out to grab on of the claws in her hand and when the slug comes out of the ground she will be ready.]

[starfruitfrog]

[But sadly, the slug doesn't burst out of the ground. What do you think this is, an anime?

What does happen though, is a low rumbling sound that seems to be all around them...]

I-Is it circling, de arimasu?

[nolicenseyet]

[She looks, trying to pinpoint where the sound was coming from.

This could get troublesome...]

I can't figure out where it is!

[starfruitfrog]

[The ground starts trembling right under their feet.]

E-Eve-dono! Run, de arimasu!

[nolicenseyet]

[The shaking was bad enough that she nearly lost her footing, but she managed to jump back, even though her landing was a little unsteady.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Not a moment too soon, because a hole opens up where they were standing.

And it keeps opening up and expanding, threatening their current position.]

[nolicenseyet]

[Not good. Not good at all.

Did she run and risk turning her back to it? Unfortunately, she didn't have much of a choice. There was no time to Realize something to help her fly, and the claw already on her hand made that hard to do. (She really needed that holster.)

So she turned and ran, trusting Keroro to help watch her back.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Keroro is watching intently, because he can feel the trust in her. That and it just made no sense for him to look forward when Eve could do that. Because he trusted her to do that.]

Faster, Eve-dono!

[The moving sand parts to show the head of the slug, sand clinging to its wet skin.

Keroro is making a face at it. A 'why does this exist and who thought it was a good idea to come here' face.]

It's surfaced, Eve-dono!

[nolicenseyet]

[And Eve kept running...for now.]

How close is it?

[starfruitfrog]

Ten meters, and closing in, de arimasu!

[The slug buries itself again, and the rumbling in the ground gets closer.]

[nolicenseyet]

[She breathed in deeply. Ten meters...

She could feel the rumbling in the ground. If it had gone back into the ground, then all the better.]

Can you tell when it will try to come back up?

[starfruitfrog]

R-Roger!

[And then, the sand only a few meters from them explodes upwards as the slug bursts from the ground, long body undulating through the sand as if it were water.]

Eve-dono!
