FLCL: The Story Continues
Part18 "I'll Cry Instead"
Hi again, Lupinda3rd here and before we start this chapter. I know... I know... My chapters are short, but I like to stop at whenit helps the story to develop and I've never been one to go into heavy details. If anyone is interested in what I've been up to it's RPGs that I found online. I even started a couple of my own at: http/s13. at http/s14. if you want something interactive, longer and faster paced join cause were taking applications...
I do not own FLCL or any music references I may make. The only character that is mine is Zack
-----------------------------------------------------------
Things seemed to wind down after the three heros meet back up with the space cruiser. Noata soon grew restless again and he had the feeling that something was going to happen. But he had no idea when, what or how, all he knew was that something bad was likely to happen. Many times he would ake up in the night with the same nightmares and everytime he found himself alone in the dark. Naota then went to bed one night to wake to something he never expected.
Alarms and sirens are blaring as our young hero wakes up to a familiar scene. As the captain called everyone to battle stations, Haruko raced into Naota's room. Before he could say a word he found himself being dragged down the corridor by his collar. The whole time Naota was thinking to himself, "This has to be a dream. Any minute now I will wake up and I'll be safe in my bunk."
"Get down", Haruko screamed. She tackled Naota on to the ground to avoid gunfire.
"That hurt!" Naota thought. Then it dawned on him, this was no dream. He was awake and the ship is under attack. The two raced down the hall in another direction and stumble upon Zack.
Another siren began to sound and the captain announced, "Attention, Attention all personal… We have been boarded. I repeat we have been boarded…" Haruko then stopped to enter a combination on a hidden panel that opened a cabinet full of weapons.
Naota grew worried that this seemed too much like his nightmare. Before he had a chance to point this out Haruko shoved a pistol into his hands and passed Zack a rifle. The three turned a corner and were meet with a hail of gunfire that wascoming from far too many pirates to fight against. Haruko grabbed Naota and the two started to run the other way when Haruko noticed that Zack had been shot in the side and couldn't be moved. Naota said, "we can't leave him", as Haruko carried him along. Moments latter they could hear Zack yelling and gun fire. Then, the gunfire stopped and it grew silent.
Haruko and Naota continued to race down the halls as the captain's voice was heard over the intercom again, this time he ordered everyone to head to the escape pods and abandon ship. The two raced for their shuttle, as they entered the hanger Naota stopped in his tracks and yelled to Haruko, "Don't open the door!"
It was too late, the door opened and there he was. It was the pirate king, Atomisk. With his left hand he slapped Haruko to the ground and aimed his gun at Naota. Haruko screamed, "Run Naota! Run!" But he couldn't he was frozen stiff with fear.
Haruko then ran into Atomisk's line of fire and offered herself for Naota's life and everyone's on board the ship. The Pirate King then smirked and took Haruko away in an instant by transforming into a bird, as he was in his first encounter with Naota.The pirate kingthen flew away with a screaming Haruko in his grasps. Haruko then screamed out to Naota, "You can do it! You just need to believe in yourself! Don't you know it's going to be alright?"
Naota fell to his knees and wept when Haruko was gone from his sight for what could be forever. The battle in the ship stopped as the pirates pulled back into their boarding crafts. But it didn't matter to him, all he could care about was Haruko and all the things he never got to tell her.

I'll Cry Instead
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: John Lennon
I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I've just lost the only girl I had
And if I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
But I can't so I cry instead
I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
I can't talk to people that I meet
And if I could see you now
I'd try to make you sad somehow
But I can't so I cry instead
Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay
But I'll come back again someday
And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead
Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay
But I'll come back again someday
And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
'Cause I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead
