EPISODE XII: MY FRIEND, THE MONSTER June 28th, 2044 C.A.T HQ, Stefansborg “My oh my”, Johan said when Peter showed up. “You do look like shit today.” “Yeah”, Peter muttered, “I... uh... couldn’t sleep.” “Good morning team”, Emelie said when she entered. “I’ve got good news for you today.” “We’re going to get six months of paid vacation?” Casper asked. “No”, Emelie grinned. “You’ll be getting a new teammate.” “What?” Tanja exclaimed. “Why? We’re doing well enough on our own!” “So think how much better you’ll be now”, Emelie replied. “We have gotten a boost in our funding due to the hurricane monster. People want to see the monsters go, and lots of companies want to use that wish for some extra spotlight. “We’re sponsored?” Peter muttered. “That’s annoying. I don’t want to rush around in a plane showing the Coca Cola logo.” “You won’t. The money’s just donated. No obligations. It makes them look good, and makes us perform well, so who am I to complain? Besides, I managed to find a guy who’s just right for the task.” “Who’d that be?” Johan asked. “His name is Morita Taiki, from Japan”, Emelie clarified. “He’s worked at S.T.A.S, but will join us instead now.” S.T.A.S, Strike Team For All Situations, was the recently-established Chinese team, in response to a monster called Dino Zaur. “Oh, pretty competent then”, Tanja smiled. “Does he look good?” As Emelie was about to answer, seeming to blush slightly, her communicator beeped, and she took the call. Listening for a while, she hung up and said “Monster sighting north of Stockholm. Hop to it!” Finskog, north of Stockholm The team arrived around lunchtime and immediately went to the C.A.T agent who’d reported the sighting. He stood waiting for them, and greeted them as they arrived. “Good day. I’m happy you could arrive so shortly.” “What’s the situation?” Casper asked. “In the forest, about a kilometre to the north of here”, the agent informed them, “five campers reported a... giant ape, about 40 to 50 meters tall, walking near a mountain.” “It’s impossible, isn’t it?” Tanja commented. “This place is one of the monitored areas since that Bogara person squeezed out her Greenmons so nearby.” “Yeah”, Johan nodded, “they must have imagined it.” “Not only the campers reported it”, the agent said. “So did seven other people at different occasions, but it was disregarded and nothing was found.” “It’s at least worth a look”, Peter smiled. “A short walk and that’s it. Wasting dead time.” “Good idea”, Casper laughed, and the team went off. Halfway there, they saw a diner and decided to take a little snack. Going in and ordering some food, they sat down. “It’s nice though”, Johan said. “We rarely find monsters and just end up doing nothing.” “Except respond to dead calls like this”, Tanja pointed out. “That’s right”, Johan nodded. “And we get a fat pay for it.” As the team continued their conversation, they saw a boy run out from behind the counter. “I’m going to see the magic monkey!” he shouted to the woman at the counter. Casper couldn’t help but smile. “Magic monkey?” he said. The woman looked at him. “It’s his imaginary friend”, she said. “He keeps saying how he visits it in the forest to the north. I figure that why not, he still spends time with his schoolwork, so I let him do it.” “Wait, wait, wait”, Peter said. “To the north?” he turned to the team. “Wasn’t that where the giant ape was reported?” The others nodded and rose. “Aren’t you going to finish your food?” the woman asked. “We’re going to need a talk with the boy...” Casper said, and C.A.T left. Arriving at the forest, they looked around at the beautiful hills. “Pretty neat hiding place”, Johan said. “Look, there’s the kid.” The team ran up to him. “Are you Alfred Normansson?” Casper asked. “Yes”, the boy replied. “Go away, this is my special place.” “I don’t mean any harm”, Casper said. “However, people say there’s a giant ape in this forest, and you seem to know about it.” “It’s Osaru”, Alfred smiled. “He’s the magic monkey. He’s my friend.” “The monster is your friend?” Tanja frowned. “He’s not a monster!” Alfred snapped. “He’s just big, that’s all.” “And you meet him?” Casper asked. “Does he seem friendly?” “Of course he’s friendly”, Alfred said. “I can show you.” “Please do”, Peter said. Alfred took out a flute and began playing. Soon, the sound of something big walking was heard, and from behind a hill, what appeared to be a giant gorilla-like being appeared. It was Osaru. Osaru walked to Alfred and C.A.T, who held their weapons ready. “Don’t do anything”, Alfred said. “Don’t scare him.” Osaru made some grunting sounds and picked up a handful (By his size) trees, stuffing them in his mouth. As Alfred continued to play his music, Osaru seemed to start dancing to the tune. “Amazing...” Johan said. “This is truly amazing. This monster accepts humans. I’ve never seen anything like it.” “Alfred”, Casper said, “Could you perhaps come with us for a while and tell us more about how you became friends with Osaru?” “No”, Alfred said. “I want to stay with him.” “Please”, Casper continued. “It would help our work immensely and make many people happy.” He placed a hand at Alfred’s shoulder as he talked, and when Osaru noticed this, he roared loudly and stood upright threateningly. “Osaru, it’s all right,” Alfred shouted. “They’re friends!” But the giant monkey wouldn’t listen and slammed his fist down on the hills. “He thinks we’re being bad to Alfred”, Tanja said. By this time C.A.T had pulled their guns. “Fire”, Casper said despite Alfred’s objections, and the team fired a volley of energy beams at the giant monkey, who hopped around like crazy and walked off to the town! Peter, realizing he had to do it, ran off to a hidden spot and transformed into Ultraman Pole. From his new perspective, he could see Osaru approach a power line and press his hands down on it, seeming to absorb the energy. Pole stepped towards the monkey, unwilling to fight him out of sympathy for both Osaru and Alfred, but Osaru was not so kind. Upon noticing Ultraman Pole, he roared in anger and approached him. Pole backed a bit, but Osaru charged, causing the two of them to tumble down upon the hills. Pole rose, doing a backflip to get away, but Osaru charged again. Pole hit the monkey with a spinning kick to the side, but Osaru countered with a punch to Pole’s face. The blue giant grabbed Osaru and tossed him down, angered himself, but Osaru got up. The two began to grapple, but suddenly Pole felt a rush of energy shocks go through him from Osaru’s hands. As he stumbled back, Osaru hit him in the chest, then on the chin, causing him to fall. Pole got up, though, and stormed back with several punches to the ape’s stomach followed by an uppercut. As he approached his fallen foe to strike again, the two warriors heard the sound of Alfred’s flute. Osaru seemed to calm down, and when he arose, he looked to the child who had begun playing his flute with a tear-eyed face. Osaru sat down, looking a bit shameful, and so did Pole. He put a hand on Osaru’s shoulder and nodded in a friendly manner, and Osaru seemed to respond. He rose again and gave Pole a tight hug, and Pole couldn’t help but hug back. As the team then left, things were a bit quiet. “What do we report?” Johan asked. “I think we should be quiet”, Peter muttered. “We can tell the Captain, but nothing should leak to the press. The media would be all over this place and there’d be a bit of a scandal craze about getting him away. And he’s not really hurting anyone.” “True,” Casper nodded, “We'll just make a small report.” As the team walked away, Osaru, smiling, returned to his cave, happy to have found a new friend. |
