Thread: Metal Resistance [brenda brunette and Sigr]

Teleporting through the Kitsunes shields was a great technological feat, indeed. The girls were so surprised none of them was able to draw her kawaii beam. As Su vanished with the massive pirate Yui noticed he was cute, even if he was a bad guy, an alarm sounded from the control panel. It was another incoming volley of fire. Evasive! Yui commanded. The automatic controls responded. Moa rushed to the flight control panel, attempting to find a trace on where whoever-it-was who had taken Su. They went to Earth, Moa shouted over the whine of the engines. The tiny ship lurched as one of the incoming beams scored a glancing blow. We were supposed to stop that, Yui mused, chewing her lip. Moa seized the controls and set a course for Earth, engaging the main drive and speeding away from the massive ship, which was still firing on them. We need to get there fast, Yui shouted. She flipped up a panel which covered the switch for the transhyperdrive. Weve never used transhyper before, Moa warned. Without answering, Yui pressed the button, sending the Kitsune hurtling back toward Earth at fantastic speeds. The two girls looked at each other. Black Babymetal to the rescue! Yui cried. The two shared a high five as the ship sped on. In their relatively ordinary lives as entertainers, Black Babymetal was the name under which Yui and Moa performed without Su. Now they found themselves on a rescue mission. In the Tokyo Dome, the stage and set were already being constructed for Babymetals homecoming concert in three days. The show would consist of concerts on two consecutive nights Red Night would be first, Black Night would follow 23 hours later. The shows were slightly different. Guards were posted as several stagehands worked to get the show set up. There were also crews in the sound and light booths. Suddenly, two people appeared in the center of the stage, sending a wave of panic through the group working at the Dome. A large, athletic looking man in strange armor and a cape wrestled Su-metal herself to a post on the stage and bound her there. He started issuing his statement, which was being broadcast throughout the galaxy. Ironically, while the message was picked up by television and radio sets around the world, it did not show up on cable stations, and the scientists at SETI missed the signal completely. Su winced when the strange man suddenly licked her face. Name tara i kanzeyo! she spat. When he had finished his rant, Su looked at the little drone hovering before the man. We are the One, she shouted in her best English. Together! Rise up, Metal! Go for Resistance! It was impossible to know what effect if any her words had on the viewing masses, but the workers in the Dome began to rise up, determined. They held wrenches, hammers, lengths of pipe for scaffolding anything that was at hand to use as a weapon. One of the electricians even wielded a live cable. All began to close on the stage and the man who called himself Rexxor Galagat. Su struggled against her bonds, wondering how long it would take her friends to come. - - - It is hard to make a literal translation of this phrase which appears in a famous Japanese movie and also in the Babymetal song Megitsune . In Japanese culture, to lick a person has a connotation of showing disrespect, much like spitting on someone in the West. Thus the phrase can be translated as, If you spit on me, trouble for you. The phrase has a much more menacing implication that transcends the actual words, much like Dirty Harrys line, Go ahead, make my day.
