Chapter 26: The Starmook War: Aftermath
It was the day after the Starmen had defeated the Mooks. King Ochun called for all Starmen to gather in a very large cathedral in the central kingdom. King Ochun, along with five other chrome Starmen Deluxe, were in the room. These six Starmen with spikes on their shoulders and head were the kings of the six kingdoms. Behind each of these Starmen Deluxe, there was a flag. These flags were all different, for they represented the six different kingdoms. Above the six flags, there was a seventh flag, which was attached to the wall. This flag was white. It had a black, perfect triangle that was facing down. Below this triangle, there were two equivalent black squares. Below those squares, there was a black rectangle. This symbol was the universal symbol of the Starmen.

The Starman Deluxe to the farthest left of the room is Gingro Nyucho, King of the Opposite Kingdom. King Gingro Nyucho has always had a great deal of his mind set towards the Starmen Federation. He kingdom truly was the strongest kingdom of the six. The flag behind him was white with one red star in the middle of it.

Next to that king was King Runoza Gukin, who ruled the northern kingdom. Runoza Gukin cared about education much more than power. His kingdom was said to have the smartest of the Starmen living there. The flag behind him had a white background. To the left and right of the flag, there were red squares. In the centers, there was an upside-down black triangle.

Next to that Starman, there was King Zansa Ratobus, who has the leader of the southern kingdom. King Zansa Ratobus was known for giving his people a very large amount of freedom. His kingdom was the kingdom of the free. The flag behind him was more complex than the other two. There were three even sections going in columns. The columns to the left and right were blue. The center column was red. In the center of the flag, there was a white upside-down triangle.

The fourth Starman Deluxe was King Raian Tosui, who lead the Starmen of the eastern kingdom. The eastern kingdom has a large amount of inhabitable land, but King Raian Tosui is spending money on medical research to find out how to make a Starman live in that desert, that inhabitable land. The flag of the eastern kingdom was the most complex flag in the room. It was divided into three triangles, but not evenly. The triangles to the left and right were white right triangles. The perfect upside-down triangle in the center was cut through the halfway mark. The bottom half, which was now the triangle, was blue. The top half, which was now a trapezoid, was black.

The second-to-last Starman Deluxe was King Euso Toues, ruler of the west. His people are known to have a fair balance of strength and smarts. King Toues cared mainly for keeping the peace within his kingdom. The flag behind him was much simpler than the flag of the eastern kingdom. It was divided into three rows. The top and bottom rows were black. The center row was green.

The final Starman is one that you, the reader, should know by now. That Starman is King Rogungi Ochun, leader of the central kingdom. He is strong, kind, and knows every Starman in his kingdom in manners deeper than just the name. His flag was red with a white star on it.

Well, I've introduced all the kings now. In front of these six Starmen Deluxe, there were many rows of Starmen sitting down, waiting for the Starmen Deluxe to speak. The Starmen Super, including General Naiot, were there to keep the peace within the cathedral. The UFO, Fuoiyu, was floating above the Starmen. Atop her exterior was General Saturn, our Mr. Saturn friend, Nurutas.

Ajuni Geka was one of the first Starmen in the cathedral. He was sitting near the front, but not in the front row. To his left was a wall. To his right was his friend Emet Raed. Next to Emet was Nem Star. And next to Nem was Rimia Lageu. Ajuni's friends did not know that the Starman who died in their kingdom was actually Ajuni's father. Suddenly, King Gingro Nyucho of the opposite kingdom spoke. His voice was deep and saddened.

"Starmen, thank you for coming. Yesterday, the Starmook War ended with a victory on our side. But this victory is not a true victory. Around 7000 innocent Mooks died. These Mooks were not given orders by their king. They were given orders by General Dekufa, a friend of the Starmen for a very long time. General Dekufa received no consent from his king, and he made his move suddenly. He did not give the orders based off his own will. He was forced to. He was forced to by Giygas!"

Suddenly, a huge buzz swept the Starmen. One stood up and started yelling.

"YOU LIE! YOU ARE LIEING! DO NOT GIVE US THIS! WE'RE NOT EARTHBOUND!"

General Naiot ran over to him and immediately hushed him up. Ajuni and his friends were confused by what just happened.

"I know that this surprised you, but I have gotten word of this from General Naiot, who got this information from General Dekufa before he was killed. Around 7000 Mooks died, but there were more casualties. We have lost 20 Starmen in this war. General Dekufa sacrificed 7000 Mooks to kill 20 Starmen. This is how strong Giygas' power is. And if any of you have any information on this, even if you're not sure if it is directly related to Giygas, report it immediately.

"In honor for the 20 lost Starmen, we will tell you the names of every Starmen and how they died. No Starman has died in the opposite kingdom. I will leave the rest with the other kings."

King Runoza Gukin spoke with a voice just as saddened as King Nyucho's voice.

"The northern kingdom received seven casualties. Fudesno Ideschi was a brave soldier in this war. An Elder Mook injured him. A very brave nurse, Nedrus Irushi, ran to him to heal him, for he was still alive. That was when one of the Mook's launched a PK Fire Sigma at the two and killed them.

"There was a civilian. His name was Sapidoron Ipiroze. He was far from the war, but he was observing the war. His computer was malfunctioning, so he got Kupotel Shipokuni, a technician, to come to his house to repair it. A Mook saw the two and attempted to attack them. A soldier named Ronzefun Chizeshiro ran to them to try to protect them. All of them were killed when that Mook launched PK Freeze Omega."

Suddenly, King Gukin sounded like he was crying.

"The next two deaths were the worst in the northern kingdom. Two twins, Nasek Shinaik and Nabise Shinaik, finished their day of school. They were walking home when a Mook hit them with PK Thunder Omega, killing both of them. Giygas' power is so strong that he made a Mook kill innocent defenseless children…"

King Gukin collapsed onto a chair and began to cry. King Zansa Ratobus of the southern kingdom patted King Gukin on his back, trying to support him. He then spoke, with a voice that was deep and depressed.

"The southern kingdom faced five deaths. The first one was the death of a civilian named Ifuno Nifui. He was running away from the war, but a Mook stopped him and killed him with PK Blast Omega. The next two deaths were caused by PK Blast Sigma. Two soldiers, Dofoi Difain, and Budoraoz Kuhani, were protecting civilians from Mooks. They died, but they saved the lives of innocent civilians.

"One Starman soldier named Judasyo Tafani had used up too much of his psychokinetic powers. A nurse named Nyuruki Neruso ran to him to help, but a Mook killed both of them with PK Fire Omega."

King Ratobus stopped talking. King Raian Tosui of the eastern kingdom spoke. By now, many Starmen, including Ajuni and his friends, were crying.

"The eastern kingdom faced four deaths. One soldier named Rosfut Safun was killed by a Mook who used PK Freeze Omega. Another soldier died from PK Fire Omega. That Starman was Doronu Sarodun. A soldier named Zumarino Numazun was injured by a Mook. A nurse named Fureoi Nuresoi ran to help him. Both of them were killed by PK Freeze Sigma."

King Tosui went silent. King Euso Toues of the western kingdom spoke.

"The western kingdom faced three deaths. All of them died from the same attack, and all of them were brave soldiers. These soldiers were the reason why the western kingdom defeated the Mooks, for they defeated a great deal of them. Yet they died from PK Blast Sigma. These Starmen are Toiewa Shiwato, Skalta Makamato, and Sodemu Dosachi."

The last Starman Deluxe, King Rogungi Ochun, spoke. Suddenly, Ajuni Geka broke into tears, for he knew what his king was going to say.

"One Starman died in the central kingdom. He was a civilian. He went to the battle to see if his son was alright, for his son was fighting in the war. General Dekufa of the Mooks attacked him with PK Thunder Sigma. I tried to save him, but I was not able to…"

King Ochun's voice was now filled with the sounds of tears.

"That Starman who died was Donmaika Geka."

Nem, Rimia, and Emet all looked at Ajuni.

"Ajuni…"

Ajuni immediately fell off his seat onto the ground. General Naiot picked him up.

"Ajuni, do you need to go outside?"

"Y-Yes…"

Ajuni continued to cry. General Naiot and Ajuni suddenly disappeared from the cathedral. He reappeared with Ajuni in front of a gravestone.

Ajuni bent over the grave and began to cry. Ajuni, without any hesitation in his mind, removed his helmet slowly. Ajuni looked very identical to Nem. He also had a scar. However, Ajuni's eyes were brown instead of red. His eyes were in a wide triangular shape. It was hard to see Ajuni's eyes, for tears were dripping down his face onto his father's grave. General Naiot patted Ajuni on his back. Ajuni put on his helmet.

"Ajuni…If your father were alive, he'd be proud…"
