[Locked to Giroro, Action]

[Things had been getting hectic around Venture City, between the Heroes' search for the device, and their attempts at decoding something. But Dororo had received a rather alarming alert on his computer:

Another Keronian has landed near the city. Quick as a flash, he leaps into action, to scour the city for the other alien - to see why they were here. He hoped they weren't invading already!]

[After meeting Giroro, Action open]

[Angry and upset, Dororo didn't want to go home so he's resting on a building roof, knees pulled to his chest, watching the tiny people pass by under him. In his current state of mind, he's not being careful about staying hidden]

[Giroro has been on Pekopon for about a week by this point, covertly investigating the combat abilities and culture of the planet for himself. As he'd suspected, it seemed that much of Zeroro's reports were not all accurate... At least to Giroro's eye. It was now time to confront his comrade, and get to the bottom of his deception.]

[Flying on his hovercraft towards the forest where he'd learned Zeroro kept camp, he expects that the blue Keronian will detect him once he entered his vicinity, so when he sees Zeroro flit to the top of a tree branch ahead of him, he isn't all that surprised.] Hmph! I'd expect no less of Keron's top assassin... Lance Corporal Zeroro.

[Setting down his hovercraft to the forest floor, he hops off, deactivating his anti-barrier, then straightening into a staunch salute.] Corporal Giroro, reporting for duty!

[He turned around, shocked at the appearance of his particular Keronian. While he knew they would've been in the same platoon, it's not quite the same thing as actually seeing him.]

Corporal Giroro-dono! What brings you planetside?

[The former Assassin knew it can't be good]

[He approaches his old friend, pulling from the large army backpack he had with him a tablet with one of Zeroro's reports back to HQ on it.] Actually, I've been reading all your reports since they sent you ahead of the rest of the platoon. Keroro's passing it off on me, more like. Tch. We've all been waiting for your word on the Keron Star, orbiting this galaxy, ready to invade...

[He beeps through the reports, glancing over... then up again.] To be honest, I thought it was strange. Your reports weren't consistent with prior knowledge we had about Pekopon... I decided to come here and see for myself. There's certainly a lot of unexpected combat ability I didn't expect here, but nothing you, the army's top assassin, couldn't handle.

And to ask myself. Why is it you keep recommending delay of invasion?

sounds just like something Keroro-dono would do...

Well - well.

[Dororo swallowed hard. And Giroro knew him well enough that he doubt he could pull the spacewool over the red Keronian's eyes]

First. My name is not Zeroro, not anymore. It's Dororo.

[He hops down, back turned to the Corporal, arms folded over his chest]

Secondly - After living on this beautiful planet, and seeing the kind people that live here. I cannot in good conscience continue to support the idea of invading Pekopon.

What are you saying...!?

[The soldier took a step forward towards the back of his old friend.] Zeroro... Has the enemy gotten to you? After all the missions you've undertaken, what could this one puny planet change to you?

[One of his best friends, a turncoat? A traitor to their childhood hopes and dreams!? He couldn't accept it... no, this had to be some kind of trick. A ruse to fool the enemy?]

The Pekoponjins had done nothing to me.

[He sighs a little sadly as he sensed his friend coming closer - he knew that Giroro wouldn't take the news lightly]

Look around you - look how beautiful it is... how peaceful it is. I can't bear the thought of this forest, the creatures that dwell in it - or the people who set it aside to be preserved destroyed by conquest.

Hmph! Our great empire was formed by bettering ourselves with the incorporation of other planets! And by that token, by bringing our technology to planets and bettering them! Have you forgotten all you've known since you were a tadpole?

As an assassin... I can't believe you'd be so naive. A soldier's job isn't to think. He follows the orders he's given.

[A gun teleports into his hand] HQ won't just let you be if you go rogue... I'll change your mind for your own sake, by force if necessary!

I had not forgotten the lessons - but, is it really the right thing, Giroro? I been a faithful assassin until now... but now. I cannot continue the path of war and violence.

[He spun around at the sound of the gun materializing, leaping back up into the trees]

If we have to fight - then so be it. I hope it wouldn't come to this, but I will protect the people of Pekopon.

I don't care about right and wrong! I'm fighting for Keron!

[He fires of a volley of plasma blasts, knowing full well he know won't hit to chase Dororo off the ground and activates his wing jetpack, taking to the air to make space between them. After all, he was a ranged fighter...]

[Once he has Dororo flushed out in the air, he keeps his space as he fires at him. Friend or not, he knew Dororo was a fearsome opponent.]

[Dororo kept moving, as mobility was his greatest assest - leaping and teleporting whenever he could. Suddenly he leaps out of a sycamore, flinging Shurikens at the Corporal, intending to disarm him]

[He managed to swerve and shoot down most of the shuriken, but one grazes his hand and he yelps, dropping one of his guns.] Damn...!

[He keeps blasting at him with one gun, summoning to the other hand his homing missile launcher at the ready. When Dororo swerved out of the range of his bullets, he discards the gun and readies the homing missiles, taking careful aim... BOOM!]

[The tree explodes in a rain of splinters, sawdust and pine needles, causing every bird within a 50 mile radius to take off.

Dororo felt the heat of the blast as he shields himself - then barely dodged the second missile - because who ever heard of an Artillery man just stopping at one?]

His aim has improved...

[He murmured to himself as he leaps into the darker parts of the forest, intending to lure Giroro in]

[Well, he hasn't been just sitting around while waiting for your reports to come in, Zeroro! Without a second thought, Giroro gives chase into the forest after him, swerving through tree branches and firing after him with blasts of machinegun fire.]

Why, Zeroro!? Why have you turned your back on your planet? On your platoon!?

[On your friends ;_;]

[He dips under low branches and swung over the high, feeling bullets grazing by him. Now even Dororo's not familiar with this neck of the woods, just that there were unsavory men that got spooked by his presence and left in a hurry]

That was not my intention! I just could not bring myself to see this world invaded, even by us!

And for that, you've strung us along all this time, huh?

[Giroro curses under his breath and follows him through the dark underbrush, firing branches out of his way as he gives chase. He had no reason to suspect that this area would be any more dangerous...]

I'll bring you back to the Keron Star and there as a platoon we can decide on this planet's fate, so come quietly!

I wish it would be that simple.

[Dororo has thrown himself into the bushes, using the darkness to better conceal him, preparing to ambush Giroro]

You know how stubborn he is.

[And how set in their ways the High Command is]

I wouldn't be worried about that fool. [The High Command, on the other hand...]

[Giroro stops when Dororo was lost from his sight, knowing well not to wander into the setup of an assassin- and remains in the open air. Instead, he fires vollies into the underbrush to flush him out.]

[Rei effectively ran his own business, taking photos of strange goings on in the city and selling them to anyone who wanted to buy. Which, naturally, meant he was never at any shortage of work in Venture City. He sold to tabloids, newspapers, literally anyone that contacted him through his website. So he was always on the lookout for anything unusual.]

[Which... Well. Dororo certainly counted as unusual.]

[And so this would be Rei, none-too-subtly climbing to a good vantage point to snap some decent photos of him as he sulks angrily atop the roof. You're more than welcome to notice and tell him off, Dororo.]

[The frog-looking Alien starts at a shift in the air and leaped onto a television antennae - somehow balancing on it's extremely narrow point, turning to face the intruder, now on high alert]

[And Rei seems absolutely unphased by this turn of events, swiveling to get more photos. When Dororo turns to look at him, he lowers his camera and grins placidly.]

Please erase those photos.

[Oddly, it sounded less like a demand or a threat, but like a genuinely humble request]

[He blinks. Usually people don't ask nicely. He tilts his head.]

What do you stand to lose if I don't?
