Chapter 17: The Red Country of Dalaam
Ajuni Geka was now on Earth, in a place far away from Onett or Twoson. He is in a country no Starman has ever visited before.

"Wh-Where am I?"

Ajuni got out of his shuttle and looked around. The women wore red kimonos, whilst the men wore red robes that covered their feet. The very young children, even the males, wore red dresses that ended right above their feet. One woman approached Ajuni. Ajuni was scared, for this was his first encounter with a human.

"You're not around here, are you?"

"I-I'm a foreigner here."

"I see. Well, do you know where you are, foreigner?"

"N-No. I-I don't…"

"Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the country of Dalaam! I'll see you around."

The woman walked away into a house. Ajuni walked up a hill through the country. What he saw at the top was amazing. It was a huge castle with gold bracings and golden supports. There were two very large golden statues of elephants, an animal Ajuni did not recognize. The elephant statues also had red bracings.

"Wow…"

"Amazing, isn't it?"

Ajuni quickly turned around, expecting to see a human, but he did not see one.

"Wait…I'm not the only Starman here?"

The sight that had so shocked Ajuni was the sight of a chrome Starman, just like himself, in this country. Ajuni immediately interrogated the Starman.

"How did you get here?"

"I landed here twenty years ago. My transport was damaged, and I could not fix it. So, I lived here ever since. Why are you here?"

"I'm on a mission fort he Starmen Federation. I'm to acquire information on the geography. Speaking of which, it's time for me to map out this area. Do you have paper and a pen?"

"Not with me."

"Darn. Say, don't you feel Earthbound? I mean, you're living with humans."

"Earthbound? I don't know what that means."

"Hang on. All Starmen know what Earthbound means. But you don't. So, are you not a Starman?"

Ajuni felt silly asking this.

"Of course I'm a Starman! I must have lost touch with my culture. I've been here for twenty years."

"DOMUJO!"

Ajuni and the Starman looked around. A man approached the Starmen. He was not wearing red. He was wearing white karate clothes, bound by a black rope. His eyes were small, but resembled large ovals. His pupils were green. That green was as green as the perfect grassy fields throughout the country. His complexion was not pale, it was quite dark, but not too dark. His hair was a single black ponytail, bound by a black rope, coming out of his somewhat dark bald head. He carried a sword, like General Naiot. But this sword looked far superior to that of Naiot's sword.

This man was an enigma to Ajuni. The enigmatic man walked up to the also enigmatic Starman and thumped him on his head. The Starman emitted gray smoke that covered his entire body. When the smoke faded, Ajuni saw a little boy of age 7. He looked almost exactly like the enigmatic man who thumped him, but smaller. His clothes were red, much like the other citizens. He also was not as dark as the enigmatic man. But his face had a clear resemblance to that one man Ajuni was perplexed, yet amazed, by.

"Father! Why'd you hit me?"

"Don't play jokes on anyone, Domujo. Go into the castle."

"Aww…"

Domujo, who was clearly the son of this enigmatic man, walked into the castle. When he was out of sight, the enigmatic man spoke.

"What does a Starman wish to do on this planet?"

"You know Starmen?"

"Of course. I killed many when I was 13. It was ten years ago…"

Ajuni backed away in fear.

"Wh-Who are you?"

"Me? I am King Poo of Dalaam."

Ajuni heard Domujo's voice from the castle.

"My father is the best king every!"

King Poo sighed.

"Let me restate my question. What does a Starman wish to do on this planet?"

"I-I'm here to get geographical information on this country…"

King Poo reached inside his karate clothes and pulled out a map.

"Here. It also marks the geographical features, like hills and mountains."

Ajuni took the map with hesitation.

"Th-Thank you."

"Don't be so scared. I'm not gonna hurt you if you don't hurt me or my country."

Suddenly, a little girl of age 5 ran to King Poo. She was wearing a red dress. Her hair was black, and straight. Her complexion was lighter than King Poo's complexion.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

King Poo picked her up.

"Hello, Landaiyo!"

"Honey!"

A woman walked out of the castle, calling for King Poo. She was wearing a red kimono. Her complexion was darker than King Poo's complexion. He black hair went straight down. This woman had a large bump near her stomach, a surefire sign of pregnancy. She was holding the hand of a very small girl of age 2. She looked almost identical to Landaiyo, but was much smaller. Domujo was following her. King Poo went to this woman and kissed her on the lips.

"Hello, Ifuawe, honey."

King Poo bent down to the little girl and patted her on the head.

"Hello, Tikya!"

King Poo returned to Ajuni, who was shocked by the amount of children this king had.

"So, is there anything else that you need?"

"That transforming thing your son did. What type of psychokinetic power is that?"

"It's not psychokinetics. It's Mu."

"Mu?"

"Yes Mu. It derives a small bit of energy from all living creatures and adds it to your own, and allows miraculous abilities. It flows, like life. And it is strong within everyone."

Domujo spoke up.

"It's just like the Force!"

King Poo muttered under his breath.

"…I knew I shouldn't have taken you to Fourside to see that movie…"

King Poo then spoke to Ajuni.

"Hey! If you're not busy, I might be able to show you this psychokinetic power of mine."

"Really? What is it?"

"It's an offensive psychokinetic power known as PK Starstorm."

"PK Starstorm? I've never heard of that."

Ajuni bowed to King Poo.

"Please teach me, King Poo."

"I gladly will."

Ajuni got up. Suddenly, a space shuttle crashed into the planet. Out of it came General Naiot. His silver sword was covered in purple blood, and his voice sounded exhausted.

"Ajuni! Did you get the geography?"

Ajuni gave General Naiot the map of Dalaam.

"Good! You must return to Planet Starmen IMMEDIATELY!"

"I was just going to learn PK Starstorm, a new offensive psychokinetic!"

"LATER! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! COME NOW!"

General Naiot grabbed Ajuni and ran towards the space shuttles, but suddenly, a man appeared. That man was Ness.

"More Starmen? Oh! A Starman Super! No problem. I've beaten Final Starmen before."

General Naiot was enraged.

"YOU! YOU KILLED OFF ALL THE FINAL STARMEN!"

"You should have never entered our planet to begin with. Now, you shall die!"
