#46 another seven

Some humans are right and others are wrong.
Good humans sometimes turn wrong and vice versa.

Some aliens are COMRADE and others INVADE.
COMRADE sometimes turn INVADE for some reason.

As usual after class,
MOROBOSHI left for T Univ Hospital
in order to pick up YURI.

Knocking the door and entering the office,
He found her talking with a man he did not know.

"Hello, MOROBOSHI kun.  Let me introduce him.
He is SALOME Nanao, a future doctor, T University."

"I'm SALOME.  I'm glad to see you.  
I often hear about you, MOROBOSHI kun from YURI."

"I'm MOROBOSHI.  Glad to see you, too.
YURI san, I'm waiting for you outside."

"If you don't mind, go ahead please.
I'm sorry, but I might be late today."

"YES HOPE!"

MOROBOSHI was puzzled at his first feeling.
He felt nurvous though he pretended like nothing happened.

(Jealousy?)

YURI and MOROBOSHI had since grown apart.
He drove to the hideout more and more often.
YURI came to be always with SALOME.

"You busy these days, aren't you?"

"Yes, as you say.  We have almost no time to talk."

"Are you OK?"

"Don't worry about SALOME kun."

"Why?  I don't mind at all."

"If you mind, no problem, wear this bracelet.
This is me, instead of me, as a charm, alright?
This metal will never be broken by anything."

YURI took off the silver bracelet from her wrist, and put it on his.

MOROBOSHI got surprised at how she had got him,
but the same time a little relieved at her words and present.

HOWEVER, alien SALOME had been taking time
to give YURI a brain wash, who was a cautious person.
MOREOVER, the alien began approaching MOROBOSHI.

One day, when MOROBOSHI had lunch at college cafe,
SALOME came up to and smiled at him.

"Can I sit here and eat together?"

"Yes, of course."

Alien SALOME had a good ability
to enter the gap in one's heart,
and was able to copy it into the alien.

MOROBOSHI and SALOME made such good friends
that they drank together frequently,

One evening, when they were drinking,
SALOME said to MOROBOSHI sauddenly.

"How do you like YURI?"

"What do you mean?"

"I like YURI."

"I see.  It's alright, isn't it?"

"But YURI likes you, doesn't she?"

"No way.  No kiddin'."

"HAHAHA, you don't have to play dumb,
because I have my own way.
And I also like you, MOROBOSHI kun."

"What?"

"I always feel your beautiful aura
given off from all your body.  I want it."

"SALOME kun, what really are you?"

"HAHAHA, do you ask me what I am?
I am no less an alien than you are."

Leaving the bar near Iidabashi Station,
they began walking along the Kanda River.

"You are COMRADE, aren't you?"

"I was.  But now I'd like to INVADE,
because I've got interested in YURI and you."

"Did you do anything?"

"I wash her brain so that she will like me,
and I've copied your ability I wanted."

"Really?"

"And when you disappear, everything will be seccessful.
What do you think about it?  Good plot, don't you think?"

"I'll never make you do so."

They had got to Yotsuya without their noticing it,
going down the bank to the ground of Sophia Univ.
And they were standing face to face, five meters away,
at the center of the university ground in the dark. 

Sophia Univ ground

MOROBOSHI in red jacket put on red glasses,
while SALOME in black also put on black ones.

For a while they did or could never move.
They did not like each other to be caught off guard. 
SALOME made up for the gap between original and copy
very well by reading mind and expecting movement.

The moment blast of wind whirled up a plastic bag,
each other's BEAM beat it and the air.
The next moment, their knives of light hit each other.

"Can you stop the battle?  
I don't want to fight with you."

"Too late.  In order to totally get YURI's mind,
I have to get you to completely disappear."

"If you like YURI, it's OK.
But don't stop washing her brain."

"No. 
As long as a bit of you exists in her mind,
no matter how much I wash her brain,
she will never be mine forever and ever."

MOROSHIS and SALOME conflicted evenly.

MOROSBOSHI teleported to behind SALOME,
when SALOME teleported to behind MOROBOSHI.

One gave off BEAM at the other,
who returned back as well.
One slashed the sword of light at the other,
whose sword received it.
Their battle were too fast to be seen.

How many hours passed?

Running shorter and shorter,
both aliens could scarecly move.

In their hands the swords of light were hold tight,
but the light was about to turn off.

They had the same mind, which meant
the next attack would be the last one.

It was MOROBOSHI that attacked first.
Expecting it , SALOME slashed back at him.

"I win, you lose!"

Soon after saying that, SALOME was slashed through,
and had a great fall down to the ground.
MOROBOSHI firmly received his attack on the tiny shield,
which was a bracelet on his wrist, without a single flaw.  

"I'm loser, MOROBOSHI kun.  Her bracelet, isn't it?  
Well, give me your finishing blow, please."

"I can never do such a thing, you know.
Stay the EARTH as a COMRADE, please."

"No.  My pride doesn't allow me to do so.
Give her great happiness in place of me."

"Wait!"

"Adieu, MOROBOSHI kun.  Bon voyage!"

Floating tens of meters up to the air,
SALOME blew himself up to nothing.

Since then, MOROBOSHI and YURI 
had gradually returned to their usual life.
And after university, he picked up her
and drove to the Youth hideout, Mt. Takao.

"I hear SALOME kun left university for some personal reason.
It's a pity, because he had high surgical talent and sense."

It would not be long
before YURI came to herself from brainwashing,
because she had an extremely strong mind.

 Rather than YURI, MOROBOSHI felt empty,
because he had lost one of his few friends.
His emptiness all the larger 
soon after he had just lost TSUBURAYA (#42).

As the same alien,
they ought to have been good friends.

(Is this a kind of brainwashing?
Mind is much weaker than body.)

When their yellow BEETLE got out of Hachioji Interchange,
the sun had already set and it had already been dark.

Even while the time was going by, on a certain planet
the greatest plot of INVADE was progressing steadily.
