The Girl From Outer Space

Chapter 10: I'm Half What? (Remastered)

I grabbed the items that I had finished, and put them in my bag. I put my bag on, grabbed Alexis's hand, and walked out to the garden. "Hey Alexis, you probably didn't know this, but tomorrow's my birthday." "Really?" "Yeah, but I've never celebrated it before." "Well how come?" "Ah, well, I got a cake every year, like any other kid, but..." "But what?" "But it was just me. My parents would say happy birthday, give me a cake, and walked off somewhere else, but I've never actually had a party." "Didn't your friends throw you a party?" "Well, my friends don't even know when my birthday is." "So why don't you tell them?" "Nah, I'd rather just spend the day building." "So then, why tell me all this?" "Honestly, I don't know." "Hmm." We came around the corner, and saw Yuki and Kairi wearing flower crowns. "Hey guys." "Hey Henry." "We made you guys something cool." "Really?" "Yeah." "Show us." I took out the wings and put them on Yuki. "Wow, this so cool." "Now try to move them." " But how, I'm not a robot." "Just believe that they're real, and they'll come alive." She concentrated hard, and they started to move, reaching up high in the sky, and spreading out wide, showing all of the metal scales. "Alright, now hold still." I used energy to make the wings white. "Wow, I love it. They're so beautiful." "And now, put these on." I had pulled out the metal arms and put them on her. "Oh cool, but what are these for." "They're to help you fight in battle." "Oh, they're perfect, thanks Henry." "No problem. And for you Kairi, a rocket sword." "Wow, amazing, but how does it work?"  I showed her how it worked, the same way I showed Alexis. "And you just press this button?" "Yep." Asuna and Marquiz appeared, and I turned to greet them. "Heys guys, what's up?" "We just came back from training." "Oh cool, so did you guys learn anything." "Yep." "Good, now if you'll excuse me, I think that I'll just head back to my room, I'm kinda tired, so, see you guys later." "See you later Henry." I walked into the house, and headed up to my room. I closed the door behind me, and set my bag down on the floor. I laid on my bed, and stared at the ceiling. (Hmm. I wonder where Alena is.) I thought about it for a second, and then it hit me. "Wait a minute..." I quickly sat up. "Sensei is Japanese, which means that, Alena is in Japan. I've gotta to tell the other's. Oh wait, I just realized, I already told them China or Japan, so I'll just confirm that it's Japan when I see them again, but at least I've finally narrowed it down. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep. "Alena, are you there?" "I'm here, so what do you want?" "I figured out that you're in Japan, and were gonna come to you very soon." "Well that's good and all, but something still bugs me." "What's wrong?" "How can I be talking to you right now, if your not Celestian?" "What do you mean?" "You see, I was only trying to reach out to a Celestian, but I ended up talking to you instead." "Wait, what, no, you can't be serious." "But I am." "My parents are from earth." "But do you know that for sure?" "Well." "Have you ever asked them?" "No, but still, I..." "You need to ask your parents." "I, I'll do just that." "And just so you know, I talked to Rose, and she said, that this place is the Eastern Monk Temple." "Oh, that's great news, now we'll know where to go." "Oh no." "Are you fading away again?" "Yes, goodbye Henry."The dream ended, and I reached for my bag. I pulled out my phone, and called my dad. "Hello." "Hey Dadze, I need to ask you something about Mom." "Well what about her?" "Is it true that she's from Celestia." "Yes." "What?" I was stunned,  I didn't know what to think. "Why haven't you told me this?" "You never asked." "But..." Look son, you may have a lot questions right now, but I can't answer them. You need ask a Celestian." "Huh? But why would they know about mom." "Trust me son, They have all the answers." Dad hung up, and I tried to call him back, but it went straight to voicemail. "Ah! Darnit!" I looked out the window, and saw Alexis outside. "Oh yeah, it's morning. I wonder what Alexis is doing." I was about to leave the room, when I heard a knock on the door. "Henry, it's me, Asuna. Can I come in?" "I opened the door. "Hey Asuna." "Um, are you ok? You sound depressed." "Oh, that, well you see. I called my dad, and he told me, that my mom is from Celestia." "Wait, so that means." "Yep, I'm half Celestian." "Whoa, well I, wanted to show you something, but if you're not up for it..." "Are you kidding, let's go." "That's more like it, now follow me." We went to the garden and saw Yuki. "Come on guys." "Asuna, what's going on." "The three of us came around a corner, and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a surprise birthday party, all for me. "Thanks guys." I didn't need to ask why, because I already told Alexis that today was my birthday, however, I didn't know that this was gonna happen. I was happy, so that was all that mattered. We had a lot of fun, but something didn't feel right, because to me, everything felt, new. So when it came to be the end of the day, there was an earthquake, but this time, giant robots were coming out of the ground, and they attacked us. "Guys, go get your stuff!" But there way was blocked by one of the robots. "Oh no you don't. Shallow, wielder of great power, protector of the universe, lend me your strength, take form, Asai gantoretto."  I boosted forward, and punched the robot as hard as I could, and sent it flying. "Go!" My friends ran into the house, and I stopped the robots that were about to go after them. Shallow, guardian of infinite power, being of limitless possibilities, lend me your power, Asai yoroi. I had my armor back on, and my wings were back. The robots attacked with full force, and I took a lot of hits, but every chance I got, I punched a robot so hard, that it flew. "Henry, over here!" "Alright guys I'm coming!" I flew over to them. "I have a plan, you guys ready?" "Always." "Then lets do this."
