"And here comes the only woman to be in the pilot program and fly a exo-suit." Michael said in a sing song tone as Hitomi walked over to him and Luca on the take off strip.
"How many times have I told you to stop that?" Hitomi asked him.
"I don't know. I kind of lost count after fifty." Michael confessed, "Why aren't you wearing your school uniform? You look cute in a skirt."
Hitomi's long pale green hair was down and it reached her lower back. She was currently wearing semi tight grey jeans, a long sleeve red shirt the was semi tight as well and a pair of chucks.
"You know I can't stand wearing that uniform at all or anything with a skirt you moron." Hitomi told him with a little anger in her tone, "Let a lone work in a attire like that."
"Lets not fight you two. I already have to make sure Alto-sempai doesn't fight with Michael- Sempai." Luca said with a sigh.
"What happened to Alto anyways. I don't see him here." Hitmoi stated.
"He is already out in his exo-suit flying around." Michael answered.
"Hitomi-Sempai, are you going to be one of the stunt flyers for the concert that Sheryl is having?" Luca asked her.
"Sorry Luca I cant. I am working that night so I am going have to pass. I hope that does not hurt your flight patterns for tonight."
"Such a shame for Hitomi. She will be missed." Michael said again in a sing song tone.
"Whatever." She replied bluntly.
"You will be missed tonight." Luca said with a smile.
"Thank you Luca. Well I better be going." Hitomi said before leaving.
"Be Careful." Michael told her.
She smiled at his caring ness. No matter how much he would flirt with her and other woman, he always cared for those around him.
Hitomi was all suited up and was running a diagnostic test on her VF's sniper system.
"Are you about done?" A Tech asked her from below.
"Yea, if we have time after this I would like to do a test run." Hitomi replied.
"You work too much you know that?" The tech told her as she just typed away on her laptop.
"No rest for the Weary." Hitomi simply replied.
"Ozma would probably shoot you for saying that." The Tech told her.
"I am not scared of him." Hitomi said with a smirk.
Her smirk was short lived when the alarm went off and a announcement of a vajra attack was announced.
"Time to go!." Hitomi yelled to the tech.
The threw her helmet to her and quickly got out her way.
"Good luck and be careful." The tech yelled.
"I will." She said with a smile as the glass capsule closed shut tightly.
It was pure chaos outside in space. Vajra were all over the place and what was worse, some of them made it inside the colony.
"Permission for evasive actions inside the colony." Hitomi asked in her open audio channel.
"Skull 6 you permission granted."
"Try not to destroy too many buildings." Michael said in a mocking tone.
"Try not to fall behind." She cheekily replied.
As Hitomi switched her VF from flight mode to full Battroid mode and started sniping Vajra as she landed. She took cover behind a large building and continued firing.
She suddenly noticed Henry Gilliam's VF acting weird.
"Skull 1, what is going on with Gilliam?" Hitomi asked.
"Gilliam is dead and some Civilian jumped into his VF. I need you and Michael to cover fire it. Keep the Vajra away from it. Ranka is with the civilian that has control over the VF." Ozma told Hitomi.
"You got it." Hitomi said closing the open audio channel.
"Lets make a game Hitomi." Michael said through a private audio channel.
"May the best win." Hitomi said knowing that it was a shooting game since they had a friendly competition.
As the two of them sniped the vajra away from the VF as it made its way away from the fray, it was odd at how good the civilian was with it.
"That amateur is pretty good." Michael commented as he watched the VF go up the side of a skyscraper building.
"I agree." Hitmoi replied, "Their going up up and away."
"You missed the last Vajra." Micahel told her bluntly.
"Uh no that one was your." She said as she watched the VF climb up.
"You wound me Hitomi."
"Even in a middle of a battle you still flirt! YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE!" Hitomi said as she suddenly fired a shot at a vajra that was creeping behind Michael.
It was merely inches from hitting Michael.
"I should get double points for saving your sorry ass."
Michael finally shot the last Vajra that was after the Civilian.
"Thanks for the save though you got it a little too close for comfort. Anyways we got the last one. Lets head back." Miachael told her.
"Okay, but I win this round." Hitomi said triumphtly.
"Why aren't you at school Hitomi?" Ozma asked her.
"Because of the stupid Vajra. After the sortie we had with them I was literally given the short end of the straw and stayed back to make sure it doesn't happen again since it just happened last night." Hitomi explained.
"Would you like to come with me to go see how Ranka is doing?" he asked her.
"Nah, I will be fine here. I have work to do anyways. Plus you are always busy so it would be good brotherly and sisterly bonding so have fun." Hitomi said with a smile, "I might go bug Klan anyways."
"Alright, see ya later." Ozma told her before leaving.
"See ya." Hitomi said with a wave.
She suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her pocket in her SMS jacket. There was a voice message left on her phone. She went to a nearby bench and saw the message was from her mother.
"Hitomi, Its your mother. I was wondering if you were okay. I heard about the attack that happened not too far from your school and I wanted to call you to make sure you are okay. I figured you sortied and I wanted to make sure you were okay. I know that you are probably busy and not able to come see me due to your duties but please at least call me or message me so I don't have to worry. I love you so much Hitomi."
She smiled when the message ended.
"Even though it is almost impossible for me to come visit you or talk to you about SMS even though you know about it. You still check on me and make sure I am doing okay." Hitomi said to herself with a smile.
'Hello Mother, its me Hitomi. I am sorry I never got to call you or message you. I am fine. No injuries at all. Though, I have been very busy. I am currently on duty right now incase there would be another attack since it happened during the night and with the repairs, it is a good opportunity to be attacked again. How are you doing? I heard that you were under the weather and I feel awful not being able to see you. I will talk to you later as soon as I can.'
Hitomi hit the send button and sent the message to her mother. A smiled came across her face, knowing that she was able to protect her remaining family from those that threatened the colony. Just like her dad did when he was still alive.
~Author's Note~
So I started this since I have been rewatching all of the Macross series and since I am having severe writers block for my Confluence story I needed to write something that would keep me writing. So here is this story. I want to let you know that this story will be full of references from old Macross series and movies and it will have references from other animes so I thought that maybe I would turn this into a little of a game for you die heart anime lovers while you read this story of mine. There is already two references that I have made from another anime and if you like to point them out you can PM me and we can discuss it. This will be by the book sort of speak so it will run along like the series does but it will turn AU later on and I will warn you when it becomes AU. Until next chapter
