Alien X Peke (Part 1) from Shonen Jump 36-37, 1996 Translated by Robert D. Gokou 3@aol.com Paozu Yama: http://members.aol.com/JMJRD/index.html Cover Page: Earth's conquest lies in the hands of a town. [Peke is holding a globe of the Earth] Page 1: Caption: 100% evil, of course heading straight toward Earth. [A spaceship is heading toward Earth] [While flying through the sky, Peke presses buttons to open the upper hatch] Peke: That's water!, And there is a lot of it!!. Peke: This atmosphere is great. I will conquer the weak, lowly, inhabitants, for this water. Page 2: [Peke gets out of his spaceship] Peke: Wow, how about that, I don't even need a mask for breathing. This is a great find, I can't believe I found it!! I have traveled the universe, and finally found this "A" class planet. [Peke now stands on top of the ship and holds onto the back fin] Peke: This bonus treat is not a blunder. Now how do I clean up all of the humans? My spaceship equipment can annihilate them in 30 days........... hu-hu-hu-hu-hu, one more scout. Page 3: Peke: This planet, Master Peke is home!!!!!!!! [Laughs triumphantly. His leg slips under him, Peke looks down realizing the height he is at. Peke desperately scurries to try to get back on his ship, but falls. Peke watches as his spaceship flies through the sky] Peke: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Page 4: Caption: 3 days later [Peke is peddling up a hill on a bicycle] Peke: (Thinking to himself) I.... I am an elite person, where on Earth is my spaceship? I can't believe I lost it. I have to return, to communicate with the others. [Gets off the bicycle and starts walking up the hill, tired and panting] Peke: Is that a large town up ahead? Damn it!!! I vow that I will buy a bike!! Page 5: [A shop owner selling cars and bikes, stares at the Peke, who has just bought a bike/scooter] Peke: Too easy, although, now all my money is gone, Damn!! [Starts drizzling, and then raining profusely] Peke: Oh great, I really need a car. [Jeep pulls up near him, and the window comes down. A girl who looks like the DBGT Videl appears] Girl: Hey old man, what's with your face, you aren't dying are you? [Peke stands there dumbfounded] Peke: ......................................... Page 6: Peke: You're rude! And I am young!!! You better get out of here or else you'll be dead! Girl: Stupid, stop joking. Why do you have that antenna on your head, what are you an insect, or a robot? Peke: Why aren't you educated? That comment hurts my pride the most! I am a proud person from the planet Hanamal!!! Girl: Oh you're a foreigner then, nice to meet you. Are you going up north? Why did you get that awful-looking bike? Peke: .................................. Good question, 3 days ago, a strange object flew through the sky, that was my spaceship which crashed somewhere. Girl: What!?!? Let me guess, you are looking for it then? Peke: Humph..... Could you give me some instructions on where to go? But, let me ask you this: will you trade my scooter for your car? Girl: Very funny, I am not that stupid. Peke: Then can you find me a job? I need some money. Page 7: Girl: There is a person by my house that has a job available. Let's leave this place fast, before something happens. Peke: Sounds good to me. Hey you are a woman, can I feel your breasts? I read a book called " Techniques on how to get women" For 200 Yen, maybe? [The girl smiles puts the shift into drive and burns rubber, driving down the road without him] Girl: "Henttai!, Sukebe!!" (Horny! Pervert!!) Peke: "Henttai, Sukebe"?? [Peke pulls out his pocket dictionary] Peke: "Henttai, Sukebe".......... Damn you Earthlings, bad mouthing me. Now I will have to pay her a visit later. [Peke drives along the road, passing by a town] Peke: This place is not that close to the sea. I have to get some more gasoline. I have to find someone that can help me. Page 8: [Peke notices farther down the road a boy staring at him. The boy is startled, seeing someone come down the road] Peke: GREAT, a person!!! Boy: OH, it's not them. [Peke's scooter runs out of gas] Peke: Ahhhh, Damn!! Piece of garbage. [Peke makes 3 long jumps] Peke: He----------y, kid. Boy: !!!!! Peke: Don't resist me! Give me your gasoline!! Page 9: Boy: What, gas......? I don't have any gasoline. But there is some at my house. Peke: Great, give it to me!! Boy: You need money, though. Peke: I don't have money. I can work for you if you want me to. [The boy notices the handgun on Peke's waist belt] Boy: Are you a pro gunman? [Peke looks at his gun and laughs] Peke: So that's what you call it. Interesting, on my planet it is called a ray gun. Boy: That's your job!! There are these bad guys you can take care of. Peke: Really!! If I kill them, then do I get gasoline? Boy: Well, you don't have to kill them, just hurt them. Peke: Killing is good, just like candy. [Boy, thinking to himself] Boy: He must be a pro, if he has murdered someone before. Page 10: [A car approaches from the direction that Peke had come from] Boy: AH! IT'S THEM!! They're coming this way. Peke: Oh yeah? [Two men stop and get out of the car. One of them has long sideburns, black glasses and wearing a suit, and is drinking a soda. The other is bald, wears a Hawaiian shirt and smokes a cigar.] Sideburns: Hey, remember us? We're heading toward your house. Baldie: You still haven't sold your land to Mr. Pepero. Didn't you tell your old man? We told you, if you didn't tell him, we'd kill you. Boy: He would never sell our land to you evil people!! Sideburns: You better watch what you are saying. You know what happened in the other town. That wasn't anything compared to what is going to happen to you. [The boy holds his hands out from Peke towards the two men] Boy: Right this way. Page 11: [Peke walks up to the bald guy and gives him a kiss on his nose] Baldie: What the hell is wrong with you? That's disgusting!! [The bald guy frantically rubs his nose] Sideburns: He has a odd looking face, he's a foreigner. Now it's time to fight!! Boy: Foreigner!! This 'foreigner' is a PRO GUNMAN!!! Sideburns: What!! Baldie: Liar!! Then prove it!! [Peke pulls out his gun] Peke: hu,hu,hu...... Throw that can into the air. Sideburns: Wha... Baldie: Just throw it. [Sideburns throws the can high into the air. Peke confidently shoots three times, and misses.] Page 12: [The can is about to hit the ground, and Peke moves toward it shooting another three times. The can hits the ground, and Peke moves even closer. Shoots five more times And still misses.] Peke: Damn it!! [Less than a foot away, Peke shoots and hits the can] Peke: YES!! [Peke blows the smoke of his gun. All 3 of them stand dumbfounded] Boy: RU-----------N [The boy scurries down the road. Peke looks to see what the boy is doing] Page 13: Peke: That brat. When do I get paid? [Meanwhile, the guy with sideburns walks up behind him and grabs his gun] Baldie: Dahahaha..... Some bodyguard you are. Sideburns: That kid did the smart thing. Peke: Hey, give that back. It took me a while to get that thing. Why don't you people loosen up. Baldie: Too bad for you. [Sideburns shoots the gun at Peke, but he quickly moves from the bullet's path] Baldie: He...He dodged it!! Peke: Put some strength into it!! You're not that dangerous! Com'on, shoot!! Shoot me!! Page 14: [Sideburns shoots several more times, and Peke dodges again. Peke then swings his tentacle, grabbing the gun from Sideburns] Peke: Give me 120 yen for those bullets you used!! [Both men are puzzled] Baldie: Sure you're quick, but can you punch like a man? Page 15: [Peke uppercuts the Bald guy, sending him flying into the air. Sideburns' eyes pop right out of his glasses in shock] Sideburns: How... How much was that again? 120 Yen? [Sideburns happily hands over the money] Peke: What did you say about me before? Sideburns: You aren't that clumsy. Oshioki (Punish me.) Peke: That's right. Let me put that into my memo pad. [Pulls out his pocket memo pad and writes down: ] Peke: "O-shi-o-ki" [Peke puts his memo pad away and slaps the guy's face in. (Similar to the scene where Fat Majin Boo beat up Kaioh-shin in DB manga 39) Sideburns trembles in pain] Peke: GO now! [Sideburns runs toward his car and drives away] Peke: Job done. Page 16: [Peke pushes his gas-less scooter down the pathway] Peke: This money isn't even enough to get gas. Meanwhile at the house................ Girl: Why did you go there!?!?! You know Mr. Pepero and his gang will get us. DON'T YOU GET IT? They won't stop until they hunt us down. Boy: But my bodyguard is a good gunman..... Girl: Stupid. I hope you didn't offer him anything. After what you did last night. Boy: I tell you, there is a strange plane on the mountain!! [Girl sighs] Girl: That is some interesting garbage you have to talk about. Boy: It's not garbage!! [Old bearded man, smoking a pipe, on a rocking chair starts talking] Old man: (Unable to translate his bubble) (Probably "We have no choice".) Page 17: Girl: What..............!!! (Unable to translate the rest) Girl: I won't let them take the land away. [Far away, Peke sees their house] Peke: Is that the kid's house? And why is that sassy girl there too? Caption: Earthlings don't compare well to the Hanamal race. [Back at the house] Old man: Oh my! Who's that down there? Girl: Oh no! Boy: That's Mr. Pepero's henchmen. Girl: What, you saw them? Boy: Those guys get me so mad!! I need my bodyguard!! Page 18: Girl: Bodyguard!?!? Boy: Y..yeah. Hopefully he wasn't killed, or maybe he's dying right now. [The old man, boy and girl look at the approaching person] Boy: It's him!! He's still alive!! Girl: Hey, that pervert is your bodyguard? Boy: You've met him before? Girl: Back in town. [Peke puts the kickstand up on his scooter] Peke: Hey kid, remember me? Give me the gasoline now. Boy: No way! You did it? Peke: Did I do it? Of course I beat them!! Boy: You didn't use your gun? Peke: I didn't have my gun, all I did was use my hands. Girl: Yeah right! That's not what you told me (referring to the boy). A strong perverted guy, sure. Peke: QUIET YOU!!! You disgraceful human. You are not even a lady!! You're weird looking, and that hair style is ugly. Girl: What....! You shouldn't even talk! You're bald and have antenna on your head, you pointy-eared freak!! Peke: That's it, now I'm killing you!! Boy: No way, that's my sister!! Old man: You're not from around here, are you? I think I saw an alien like you a long time ago. Peke: That's right. The last original Hanamal ruled here long ago, you remember him? Boy: ehhhhhhh..! Girl: AN ALIEN!! Like this... [The girl points to an octopus-looking creature in the text bubble] Girl: Oh you aliens are sightseeing? Peke: Sightseeing? We're not sightseeing!!!! My spaceship crash-landed somewhere. [The boy flashes-back to when he saw the weird-looking ship on the mountain top the day before] Boy: Ahhhhhhhhhh........!!!! Last night, I saw a strange looking airplane!! Peke: REALLY!! Where is it? Can you take me there? -OWARI
