The Astro Father chapter 2: Rise

Cleanser Absolute retreated to the Inkversian planet of Midway where he crashed into an Inkversian Rontato farm.

“I will not let this ‘defeat’ be known!” Cleanser mumbled to himself

Cleanser tried to heal his right arm with his superpowers but the wound was way too deep to be healed quickly and effectively enough.

“Is this – my fate?” Cleanser said, “am I doomed here?”

Suddenly Cleanser heard plants and other crops rustling. Cleanser now knew he wasn’t alone. Cleanser slowly got up and limped where the noise and some faint light was coming from.

“HEY!” Cleanser yelled to attract some attention.

The light shined over to Cleanser and he saw four farmers, notably midwayese farmers.

“Who’s this?” The first farmer said

“That’s – that’s Cleanser Absolute!” The second farmer said

“Holy mother of The Lord, he’s here!” The third farmer said

“Listen, I need your guys help!” Cleanser said

“What do you need?!” The fourth farmer said

“A new right arm” Cleanser said

“Got it!” The farmers consecutively said

Soon the farmers took Cleanser into their ‘barn’ and quickly started to rebuild Cleanser’s right arm. Meanwhile Tomoko was with the Collector and Xander in a strange place in the Royal Andromedan Castle. Tomoko had her shield while Xander and the Collector had their swords.

“Alright Obsidian Ire, we are going to spar several rounds to see what you can do!” Xander said

“If one of us gets hit, they’re out” The Collector said

“Alright then” Tomoko said

Xander and the Collector both dashed at Tomoko, the two of them swung their swords down at Tomoko, she quickly put her shield up to block the strikes but the two blades made the shield get knocked down, and Tomoko saw the numbers disadvantage she had. Tomoko quickly stepped back and thought the situation out.

“The Collector’s sword of creation is very sluggish and heavy but the Solar knight’s Katana is mid-weight but nimble… I need to adjust!” Tomoko thought to herself.

Tomoko waited for one of the two swordsmen to attack, Xander saw through her patience and also waited. The Collector on the other hand rushed straight toward her, he dragged his Sword of Creation on the ground behind him as he covered great amount of ground very quickly. Tomoko seeing the Collector zoom at her made her shutter and she started to take deep breaths. The Collector soon swung his sword upwards at her, he then swung down his Sword of Creation with immense force and speed. Tomoko brought her shield up at the last second.

As the Sword hit the Shield, the Leverage, speed, and force of the strike hitting the shield send her off of her feet and she got slammed into a wall. Tomoko fell to the floor and couldn’t get up. The Collector walks toward Tomoko, the sounds of the Collector’s footsteps reverberate in her point of view and the sight of the marching behemoth was blurry. The sounds of an eerie, screeching noise coming from the big blue blade being dragged on the floor. Tomoko struggled to get back up but she got on to her knees. The Collector kept slowly walking towards Tomoko with his sword creating sparks as it dragged on the ground. Tomoko saw the Collector approaching and looked down. She knew it was coming. Tomoko saw the scene play out in her mind – she saw the Collector slowly walking toward her to end her for her weakness. Tomoko braced for her decapitation. Suddenly she heard the sound of the Sword of Creation drop to the ground and stab into there.

“Get up” The Collector said

“H-huh?!” Tomoko said

“I’m not going to do… that” The Collector said

Tomoko felt her heartbeat get faster as if he was the one. The Collector reached out his hand for her to grab and she grabbed his hand. Soon they were back to fighting each other. After 3 more practice fights, Xander walked up to the exhausted Tomoko but his Murasama was sheathed.

“Obsidian Ire, you are very skilled in the way of combat but you need a weapon to keep your shield company” Xander said

“Like what weapon?” Tomoko said

“You choose” Xander said

“Hmmm, where would a legendary weapon to be forged at?” Tomoko said

The Collector looked at Xander, Xander looked at the Collector, and the both nodded. Soon Xander, The Collector, and Tomoko were standing in front of a special building.

“A – bar?” Tomoko said confusingly

“Not just any bar!” The Collector said

“Pyloon Saloon!” Xander said

“Pyloon Saloon?” Tomoko said, “what’s so important about it?”

“This is where the best blades are made at” The Collector said

“By who?!” Tomoko said

“The Bladesmith” Xander said

The three walk into the Saloon and it’s noticeably less busy. The Creator’s Bladesmith was extremely noticeably depressed.

“Oh, hello Xander and Collector…” the Creator’s Bladesmith said depressingly

“What — happened here?” Xander said in concern

“Take a look around boys and girls” The Creators Bladesmith sighed

The three looked around them and saw that the saloon was ransacked.

“Is there any smithing steeps or Alloys left around?” Tomoko said

“Well… I hid all my rare materials but all my cheaper and plentiful materials were all stolen” The Creators Bladesmith sighed again, “at least I also hid my smithing tools too”

“We need you to smith Obsidian Ire here a weapon!” The Collector said

“I don’t think I can with my current sit-“ The Creators Bladesmith was cut off

“JUST SMITH THE WEAPON!” The Collector demanded

“O-okay then… but it’ll be more expensive because I have to use my rarer materials” The Creators Bladesmith said

“How expensive?” Xander said

“¥59,112.58 to be exact” The Creators Bladesmith said

“¥59,112.58?!” Xander panicked, “I might not have that much!”

“Don’t worry about it Xander” The Collector said

The Collector quickly created ¥100,000 and gave it all to the Creator's Bladesmith.

“Thank you” The Creator’s Bladesmith said

The Creator’s Bladesmith soon got to work on the Weapon. Meanwhile near an alleyway in the Inkverse, Kenshin is walking a 30 Kilometer (18.64 Mile) walk. Kenshin soon passed an alleyway when the dark areas of the Alleyway spoke out.

“Help me Ken!” The voice of Lisa (Post-Inkla) cried out

“Lisa!” Kenshin said

Suddenly Kenshin gets a phone call, it was from Lisa herself, and Kenshin quickly answers the call from Lisa.

“Lisa!” Kenshin cried in fear, “Are you okay!”

“Yeah, why do you ask?” Lisa said

“Phew, I was worried because I heard your voice in an alleyway calling for me!” Kenshin said

“Why would I be in an alleyway?” Lisa said

“Okay good, I thought you were in the Alleyway” Kenshin said

“Don’t worry Ken, I’m safe!” Lisa said

Kenshin got off of the phone and unsheathed his Murasame.

“WHO’S THERE!” Kenshin yelled

“Your puny excuse of a lover should be dead for even loving you!” A voice said from the dark alleyway

The darkness of the alleyway is quickly brightened by a red light… Revealing Cleanser Absolute. Cleanser’s new arm illuminated the Alleyway and his face as he stared at Kenshin.

“Look at you, you fake Inkla ANDRIGGER!” Cleanser said aggressively

“What the f**k are you talking about!” Kenshin said

“You’re an Andrigger, you dumbass” Cleanser said

Kenshin looked at Cleanser with a look of Perplexion.

“That means you are an Andromedish [CENSORED]” Cleanser said

Kenshin was still perplexed and Cleanser got angrier. Cleanser walked toward Kenshin and blasted his laser eyes at him. Kenshin blocked the laser eyes with the Murasame and the Murasame also absorbed the energy of the laser eyes. Kenshin’s Murasame starts to push out of his hands. Kenshin sees this and tries to push the false edge of the Murasame toward the laser eyes. Kenshin’s Murasame suddenly shoots out of Kenshin’s hands and lands in the bright area just outside the Alleyway. A loud BOOM is created as the Murasame disperses all of the energy it absorbed. Kenshin is on the ground, in pain, and he sees Cleanser walking toward his Murasame. Kenshin quickly pulled his phone out and frantically started swiping. Cleanser opened his hand and pointed his palm at the Murasame’s blade. The mechanical arm of Cleanser’s started to form a blade in his hand. His blade formed without a handle or guard. Cleanser smirks and the arm blade is done forming.

“What is it that you would call this?” Cleanser laughed at Kenshin

“F**k you” Kenshin said to Cleanser

“Ah well… any last words?” Cleanser said

“It’s not over just yet!” Kenshin said

“That’s some weird last words” Cleanser said

Suddenly an Inkstone fireball hits Cleanser in the chest and Cleanser is knocked back.

“GAH!” Cleanser yelled as he was hit

Cleanser looked where the fireball came from and he saw Inkmatas. Cleanser smiled at the sight of her.

“Inkmatas, It’s so good to see you, join me and we can make the Inkversian race the superior race!” Cleanser said

“I’m not going to play your racist game!” Inkmatas said, “I just want the Inkverse to rebuild its image without dictators or Inkperials like you!”

“Oh… well that’s a shame” Cleanser said

“I don’t follow Inkperials, especially ‘people’ like you!” Inkmatas yelled

“You probably knew by now that I am an Inkperial loyalist and that there are m- WAIT A MINUTE, you sly squid you got me monologing” Cleanser said as he saw Inkmatas getting ready to fight.

Suddenly Cleanser is hit from behind by a vine whip. Cleanser looked behind him to see Xander and Rea walking out from a humanoid sized wormhole. Cleanser looked around him as he saw the three walking around him.

“Three against one, eh?!” Cleanser groaned

“You aren’t getting away, not this time!” Rea said

“What makes you so sure?” Cleanser said

“We’ve defeated you before, we can do it again” Xander said

Xander unsheathed his Murasama, he walked toward Cleanser, Inkmatas made Inkstone flames in her hands, and Rea covered herself in vine armor.

“I find these odds funny” Cleanser said

Cleanser readied himself with his new arm blade and then he prepared to fight. Xander ran at Cleanser while Inkmatas and Rea simultaneously blasted their magic at Cleanser. Xander swings his Murasama at Cleanser, Cleanser quickly blocks the strike with his arm blade, at the same time Inkmatas blasts Cleanser with her magic, and Rea starts to hold Cleanser down with heavy vines. Cleanser is hit hard by the three’s attacks.

“Shit you guys hit hard!” Cleanser said

“It’s over Cleanser, you can’t fight the three of us at once!” Xander said

“You’re right… I can’t fight you three at once soooooooo, I’ll just leave!” Cleanser said

“You aren’t going anywhere!” Inkmatas yelled

“Uhhhhh” Cleanser said in confusion

The three started stepping toward Cleanser as Cleanser and the rest were in the open. Cleanser kept stepping backwards and started getting closer to a wall. Cleanser suddenly backed up into a wall and he was cornered.

“Shit… uhhhh can we talk about this!?!” Cleanser said

Suddenly an orange portal appeared on Cleanser’s back left and Peyton appeared as she slowly appeared out of the portal. Cleanser saw Peyton in the sliver of his eye and he quickly grabbed Peyton’s head. Cleanser pulled Peyton out of the portal and slammed her head on the hard and rough wall. Peyton fell unconscious and was bleeding out of her head.

“Shit!” Xander said

Cleanser went into the portal and escaped.

“No. No. No. No. No – NO!” Xander yelled

Inkmatas ran out to Peyton. Peyton was out cold, Kenshin got up and saw that Cleanser was gone.

“JORRKA!” Kenshin yelled
(Dammit)

Amazing!

Noice
