Summary: An AU fic. A girl was held captive by the U-TIC Organization and was to be brought to the Pleroma Asteroid when a certain ship attacks the U-TIC Battle Ship…
Okie, finally 'revised' this fic and I don't care if it doesn't go along with the Xenosaga Episode II storyline. It IS an AU afterall.
Disclaimer: I don't own Xenosaga.
Note: Jr. maybe OOC but I based his character by the way Albedo described it: He only thinks about himself.
Angel WingsA sigh.
A girl around 12 years of age sighed again as she stared at the endless sea of stars in the galaxy. She was just so stupid! Her Papa told her not to get caught by the U-TIC Organization but no, she just insisted that she can fight back with those rods but they were stronger! She was just a little girl, not a Realien.
Of course, only her and her Papa knew she was human. She had to disguise and wear those contact lenses andeven her Mama never knew she was human. That she was Sakura, heronly daughter Her Mama thought she was the 100-Series Observational Realien but her Papa only made those kirschwassers to protect her. She was the model for them…
She cringed. The scene where her 'sisters' protected her from the Organization seeped into her mind again.
'Onee-san… Please take care. We… have finished our mission… to protect you… Just like what Papa wanted… Goodbye…"
"NO!!!!" tears fell from her crystal blue eyes. "Ayame!!! Please, don't leave me!!!!!" she yelled, shaking the lifeless body of the kirschwasser but to no avail. It has ceased to function and a figure stood in front of her.
And that was the time when she was captured.
Her thoughts were interrupted as an alarm sounded throughout the whole ship and when she touched the door, it wouldn't budge.
"What the?!?" she started to bang her fists on the door but to no avail. Usually, when she does that, a guard will almost always yell at her to "Shut up and go to sleep!" or "You brat! Stop banging on the door!"
She sighed yet again.
Sakura Mizrahi was locked inside the room.
-------------------------------------------------
"Little Master, we came for the mainframe, okay? Remember that!" Mary Godwin said and Jr. merely nodded his head, already bored out of his mind.
"We should search all the rooms, you know. Maybe we can find the U-TIC card in one of the rooms." With that, Jr. used the Vaporizer Plug-In to blast open a device to which prevented the guard from even getting too close to them.
The red head didn't want unneccessary fights. Just as long as he would get back in one piece...
He pressed a button and went inside the room.
Only to be bashed in the head by something hard.
"Take that! And THAT!!!" a high-pitched voice yelled angrily and bashed Jr. to no end with a long rod.
"What the?! Hey, stop bashing me! I'm not an enemy!!!" he said, sending a glare to the person responsible for hitting him.
"Huh…? You're not?" Immediately, she seized the bashing and held the rod behind her back. "Sorry. I thought you were a soldier."
"Look before you leap, kid."
"Don't call me a kid! I'm 12!"
"Whatever, you're wasting my time. Let's go, Mary." Jr. was about to leave the room when he felt a pat on his shoulder.
"Let me go with you! I can help!"
He raised an eyebrow. "You're a Realien, right?" he asked, pointing at her "eyes".
"Um, yes, I am." she said with uncertainty hinted at the tone of her voice but Jr. never bothered to notice.
"Fine… come along." with that, the three exited the room.
-------------------------------------------------
They all exited the room when Mary asked, "What's your name?"
"Um, I'm… MOMO." She said, remembering what her fatherinstructedher to do whenever people have asked who she was.
"MOMO? What does it stand for?"
"Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus."
"I see. I'm Mary Godwin and he's Little Master, Gaignun Kukai Jr."
"Gaignun…? You mean Director Gaignun of the Kukai Foundation? He's the son of Gaignun?"
"Yup!"
Sakura frowned a bit. Why does the name 'Gaignun' seem familiar to me…? The grouped passed by a few injured people and she tried to help them.
"What are you doing?"
"Healing them. They're wounded." She replied and suddenly closed her eyes. "Mystic powers, grant me a miracle!" she chanted and a light surrounded the wounded, healing the injuries.
"T-thank you…" they grunted.
She smiled back and let out a sigh. Sakura had never healed people before because she didn't have the powers back then. It only appeared after the 'incident' where-in she almost died and her Papa and Mama tried his best to save her.
"You okay? You're dozing off in space." Jr. said, waving his hand in front of her face. 'MOMO' cross-eyed and saw the number: 666.
'Why is that number so familiar…?! Why do I feel all warm inside?!? Papa, am I going to die?!?'
"I'm fine, Jr.-san.I get tired when I use ether." she lied and continued to walk. "I know where the U-TIC card islocated. Let me show you the way."
-------------------------------------------------
After a few minutes of walking, they entered the room and got the card to access Door three. "May I ask? Why are you going to hack into the enemy's mainframe? I heard that it's impossible because they placed a security system there... and I have a bad feeling about this mission."
"Really now? Well, if Little Master's with you, you better be careful!" Mary said while 'Rubedo' sent her a deadly glare. "Hey, wait a minute! That insignia on your dress… Are you from the Mizrahi Lab??"
Sakura hesitated but nonetheless replied, "Y-yes, I am."
"You know what…? You look a lot like his deceased daughter, Sakura Mizrahi."
"I was created to be like her." She lied, looking at her boots.
"I see… Anyway, we better finish this mission so we can get home!" the blonde chirped happily and walked towards the bridge.
-------------------------------------------------
"MOMO, can you hack into the mainframe? You're a Realien, right? Hacking's just a breeze for you." Jr. said coldly. He still hasn't forgiven her about the 'head-bashing' incident.
"I-I can't!"
"Do it or else I'll kill you!!!" he pointed his Spirit Gun at her head, ready to fire. The pink-haired girl gulped; he was serious! She nodded meekly and walked over to the console and took a deep breath. Sakura pressed a button and an alarm sounded.
"Security system activated. Security system activated. Security system activated. All hands, please evacuate immediately. All hands, please evacuate immediately. All hands, please evacuate immediately."
"Now you've done it!!!! Are you trying to kill us?!?" The boy took out his gun and shot the Ambix but to no avail.
"Please move. Star Mirage, Power Up!!!!!"
White light surrounded 'MOMO' and when it disappeared, she wore a white dress with pastel pink to match it. Her feet were covered with pink heels and instead of a rod she held a staff.
"Thunder!" she took out a card and hit it with her staff, causing a tiger-like being to appear and hit the enemy. The Ambix was weakened but was still standing. It hit Jr. when his attention was on Sakura's after her transformation and he slammed against the console.
"Jr.! Are you alright?" she asked and tried to help him but he roughly pushed her away, falling into the ground with a thud.
"Don't talk to me."
He took out his guns and used his deathblow skill: "Moonlit Serenade" and the Ambix exploded.
"Is everyone alright? MOMO?" Mary asked.
"I'm fine… I feel a bit dizzy though." She said, rubbing her temples. Jr.'s pushed HAD to hurt that bad…
Suddenly, a group of U-TIC soldiers came in and the leader said, "Give us the Realien or we'll fire at everyone within the vicinity."
Sakura looked at them angrily and was about to attack them when they opened fire. Fortunately, none of them got hurt… except that the wire got destroyed.
"Damn it! It's your entire fault! Stupid Realien…"
Sakura wanted to cry. Jr. hated her... 'Its just like when Mama scolded me. she told me that I will grow up a 'lunatic' like Papa…' She fought back the tears though not so successful.
"Little Master, why don't you go ahead? I'll catch up later." Mary said and Jr. fumed literally.
"Let's go." The red head yelled curtly to Sakura and she followed him out of the bridge.
While walking, she wanted to apologize and when she finally had the courage…
"Jr., I…"
"Don't talk to me. This is all your fault." He said, his tone full of venom. When they arrived at the Durandal, he told her the direction to her room and left for the bridge.
As Sakura Mizrahi sat at the foot of her bed, she asked herself over and over again, "Does Jr. hate me…?"

Notes:
Papa – That's what MOMO calls Joachim Mizrahi in the Japanese version of the game.
Mama - That's what MOMO calls Juli Mizrahi in the Japanese version of the game.
Onee-san – means "older sister".
Ayame – Just thought of this name since 'Sakura' is a flower. Ayame means 'iris', a flower.
Star Mirage – Another 'transformation' that I thought of.
