A Nadesico Fanfic (Akito and Ruri), I don't own them or Nadesico!
My Propose of Living
By Redstar Henry
Plot:
After the Prince of Darkness movie, Akito left the others as we know. The crew thought that he was just leaving for nothing. But as it turns out, there was someone preventing him from returning to his family. Can Ruri help him?
Chapter 1: Akito Tenkawa: The Ultimate Living Weapon
Akito left the others with Lapis; an uncomfortable silence surrounded them as they left the Nadesico Crew.
Ryoko looked at Akito's back while he was leaving. To her, she saw the same body that was the Akito they all knew.
But even though the body was the same, the soul wasn't, as if like they were talking to a ghost that had possessed the Akito they knew.
She hated to say it, but it really hurt to see that the man that once saved her life had turned into the Prince of Darkness.
"What has happened to that man, as if a clone had replaced the real Akito?" asked Ryoko.
Ruri Hoshino then came out with an emotionless expression on her face but with a pained heart.
"I don't know, but I rather not know. As I can promise, the truth will be very painful for us; probably will scar us for our life."
Izumi and Hikaru nodded as they replied "I rather don't know about Akito's changes than to have scars in my souls."
Seiya shrugged as he said "I could care less. But I really want the designs of that boy's black armor! If only I could get the specs and designs! HA! HA! HA!"
The chief mechanic's foolish words were responded by several kicking from the three angry female pilots (Ryoko, Izumi and Hikaru)
"HEY, WHAT DO YOU THREE DO THAT FOR?" shouted Seiya.
"Loser, you really need to check you brain and your memory "chip"!" muttered Ryoko.
Ruri just sighed as the mechanic and the pilots were having a heated argument. Hari, Saburota and Jun laughed as they argued.
"Baka" she muttered.
Ruri then proceeded to the outside to breathe some fresh air. As she looked up to the sky, she just sighed before speaking
"Akito, I hope that you can come back to us."
Akito Tenkawa had heard what Ruri had just said. To be honest he also hoped that he could return to the family that he has before he was captured by the Martian Successors.
To him, before he had married Yurika, he had some feelings for Ruri which he didn't know about it. But after seeing Minato and Tsukumo's moments, he realized that the feelings were the emotion called love. However because of the great difference between their ages, he couldn't be with her.
When he was captured and been used as an experiment by the Martian Successors, he did missed Yurika and the others, but the one that he missed the most was Ruri. How he longed to go back to her side to tell her that he and Yurika were still alive. But that dream never came until Nergal started a rescue operation to rescue to save him and Yurika but the job was only half done as they couldn't rescue Yurika.
Akito grumbled as he remembered the reason why he can't go back to his beloved family and Ruri. He mech and his boson jumping abilities had caused someone to view him as a living weapon and so far someone had succeed to use him as a weapon. Not Nergal, not the Martian Successors or the Jovians, it was the UESF instead.
Akito looked at Ruri last time before he departed to his ship.
"When can I have a normal life? When I can be the Akito that I want to be? When can I go back to them? And most of all, when I can go back to Ruri?" he asked to the heavens.
He looked at his hands sadly before he jumped to his ship to prepare for another mission.
At the UESF headquarters, the Chief-Commander smirked as Akito began his journey back to the headquarters.
"Excellent, that boy is doing everything according to my plan."
Admiral Misumaru then stepped in asked.
"What plan are you talking about sir?"
Chief Commander just then to him and smile "I can't tell you most of it, the plan is top secret but all I can tell you is that Akito Tenkawa is the crucial one in this plan."
Admiral Misumaru's eye widened as he heard that his son-in-law was the key in this unknown plan.
"Akito, the Prince of Darkness" continued Chief Commander "had amazing abilities that are equal to the Successors but he also had some technologies that were from the UESF, Nergal and Jovian Federation. He is trained by the Jovians and Humans. So as you can see how valuable he is."
The Admiral just stood where he was; he had no idea what the Chief Commander was talking about.
Chief Commander noticed the way Admiral Misumaru stood and then he realized that the Admiral didn't get his point.
"Don't you see? Which side had Akito, had the advantage. He is the Ultimate Living Weapon! We can use him to defeat the Martian Successors or anything! Nothing can stop him! That is why we must have control on him before the Martian Successors do! The UESF will become unstoppable!"
Admiral Misumaru couldn't believe what his superior had just said; Akito was a living weapon! The Chief Commander just view Akito as a tool under his command, he was consumed by his lust for power and frame.
This was not good for his son-in-law and the UESF.
They were under the command of a corrupted Chief Commander.
"I must save Akito and prove to the others that the Chief Commander is corrupted but not now or else he will go after me!"
Admiral Misumaru then smiled and said "Good Plan Commander. Uh… I really hope that you can be successful."
The foolish Chief Commander grinned, totally oblivious to the plan that the Admiral had set up to rescue his son-in-law.
The Admiral left the room, not wanting to cause any suspicion.
"How could Akito be willing to do as the Chief Commander says? Why would he even if he knew that he was nothing but a tool?"
Suddenly he had a terrible thought.
"What if the Chief Commander had threatened him? It must be! Or else why would he do it? Akito is a very clever and strong boy. Must be something huge."
Admiral Misumaru than decided he would rescue Akito and bring him back to the place where he belong, the Nadesico crew.
"You would be freed Akito, I promise."
My first Nadesico Fanfic! Please be gentle and review!
