Vandread Fan Fic: Tentative title Proclamation
A few months after the mission to recruit men to live with the women of the Nirvana, the team reaches their final decisions. Bart, B.C., Duelo and Pyoro sit in the hidden Hangar 18 on the main Taraak military base and begin deliberations.
B.C. looks at Duelo and tilts his head. " Well, who's your decision?"
Duelo smirks and looks at the commander and places his hand to his chin and motions towards the door. " I asked him to come to the meeting, to introduce himself personally commander." After that the group looks towards the entrance to the hangar and sees the man.
The man slowly marches towards the group and salutes B.C. and introduces himself. " I am Lieutenant First Class Renz Tagino. I have been affiliated with Duelo for a few years, and when he returned to Taraak and spoke of your adventures and the women of the Nirvana I was in awe, and when presented with the chance to join him I whole-heartedly accepted. I am a highly accomplished Vanguard pilot and also, I dabble a bit in 3D simulation processors."
Before B.C. can say anything a certain loud-mouthed blonde can be heard in the distance.
" I told you to report to me, so don't think your getting to pick B.C.!" With that Jura quickly walks to see the possible acquisition as Barnette and Meia slowly enter the hangar and stop in the entrance looking rather distraught.
Renz turns to see the big mouth and the two others and smirks a little bit as the blonde came closer. Once she is in earshot he says, " Well taken from your demeanor I'm guessing you'd be Jura."
After that Jura quickly turns to him and smiles. " Well you'll do, and yes, I'm the lovely and talented Jura." She says posing slightly with her right hand behind her head and her left hand on her hip.
Renz nods and looks towards B.C., " Commander, am I approved?" B.C. quickly nods as Meia and Barnette make there way to slowly to the group and turn to address B.C.
" We are truly sorry B.C., Jura just couldn't be stopped… she has this obsession with needing a certain type of man aboard the Nirvana." Meia tells in her usual stoic manner.
" Ya, I wish she'd get off that baby kick of hers…" Mutters Barnette with a slight hint of annoyance in her voice.
The men just tilt their heads and shrug as B.C. waves his hand dismissively in a way to basically say all is forgiven.
" Anyway, back to what we are here for. Bart! Who is your choice?"
Bart quickly swallows one of his company's pills and smiles. " Mmm… I missed that one…" Shortly after eating the pill he hears the question and quickly responds as to not irritate B.C. any further.
" Well I kinda took the idea Duelo had and requested him to come here personally…" He laughs nervously as his candidate walks in.
The second man walks in and looks around and stares at B.C. quizzically. " You're a man? Well… umm… this is awkward…" B.C. narrows his eyes and glares at the man.
" I was undercover… so sue me. Anyway, are you going to try and sell yourself or do you want me to reject you based off of your flattering first impression" The slightly threatening and sarcastic tone returns to his voice, something the others haven't heard in a while.
A sweat drop appears on the man's head as he introduces himself. " The name is Jukkai Tijema, I am an affiliate of Bart and his parent's company. I am also interested in this venture mainly for a way to experience new things… and I've also gained a reputation at being able to fix Bart's mistakes." With those last words Barnette smiles.
" You're in! Bart is a total lame brain… if you can fix his mess ups, we will all be very grateful." She grins coyly and Bart's eyes widen.
" HEY! I resent that remark… I mean… well… damn… I got nothing…" He lowers his head and wallows in his own misery.
With that B.C. looks to Jura and sighs a bit and asks. " Well Jura, is he okay?" Jura nods and then looks around.
" Where's Hibiki? And for that matter, where the hell is Dita? I mean I wanted to be the first one to have a baby with a man's seed. She better not be doing anything to undermine me!" Upon hearing that Renz looks at Duelo shocked and whispers.
" Duelo… children can be born through combining men and women?" Duelo nods and responds. " It is an ancient ritual called fornication. I have a few books on the process if you'd like to read up on it." Renz nods in understanding of this new knowledge. " Yes, when you get the time I'd like to see these books." After that he starts thinking to himself, 'How the hell would men and women be able to produce a child? I mean, they come from factories… are women factories? Things were so weird back on Earth.'
After the small conversation between Duelo and Renz a sudden crash is heard in the hangar. They all look around to see what the noise was, and after a small time of awkward silence and seeing nothing their eyes land on Hibiki, on top of Dita, boxes on top of Hibiki and another man standing over the two looking extremely embarrassed to even be there, let alone know Hibiki.
Bart is quick to exclaim, "HIBIKI! Can't you go anywhere without breaking something!" Hibiki slowly gets up, his hand landing on Dita's chest and she blushes, as he doesn't notice just yet. "Umm… Hibiki…" He looks down as she says that and he blushes and jumps off her quickly. " Well sheesh, you make it seem like I did it purposely… not my fault they're so big and hard to miss." Hibiki then helps Dita up as the man that came with them is just kinda standing there in shock.
Meia then breaks the awkwardness with a plain, straight statement, " Hibiki, is that your candidate for the Nirvana?"
Hibiki looks back at his friend and grins widely and brushes his nose a bit. "Yep, he's a good friend of mine. See we were third class citizen mechanics together. He's the only one that ever believed my crazy ideas." Hibiki laughs as he then pats the guy on his back. " Go introduce yourself to the others."
The man gradually moves forward, with a bit of reluctance and even more fear. " Ummm… well as Hibiki said I'm a mechanic and well, my name is Alexei Rhojin. And I'm very interested in how women live and what their machines are like. Your technology is of great interest to me."
Jura looks him up and down and smirks. " Well you seem pretty level headed… and since we all have some respect for Hibiki… though it fades at times… I'd think his choice would work. Anyone disagree?" The others shake their heads as Pyoro jumps up in front of the new men and speaks to them.
" Alright, the Nirvana is very different from anywhere you've been. So be ready to listen to Captain Magno, Commander B.C. and I, Pyoro! Because Peksis likes me… and anyone that wants to do, the very cool Vandread fusion, especially Vandread Pyoro… will listen to me. OH! And no touching Pyoro 2…" he gives them all dirty looks and floats off.
After the little speech Hibiki smirks and walks up to the new guys. " Okay, just ignore Pyoro, that's what we usually do, he gets over it. Plus if he doesn't… I can always rewire him." Hibiki laughs a bit as Pyoro floats up behind him with a menacing grin on his screen. " Hibiki…" When Hibiki turns around Pyoro greets him with and electric shock wave. It hits Hibiki dead on causing him to fall with a little smoke coming from his body as Pyoro laughs. " No one messes with Pyoro." Then he floats away giggling.
"Damn… scrap metal…" Hibiki says before passing out.
" Oh not again… Hibiki, please learn to mind your tongue…" Pleads Dita as she lifts him up and looks at Meia. " We're leaving tomorrow right?" Meia nods as Dita lets out a breath and smiles. " Good… it usually takes Mr. Alien some time to wake up when things like this happen." Jukkai looks at Dita a little wide eyed.
" You mean this is a constant occurrence with him?"
Dita bites her bottom lip a bit and nods. "Mmhmm, he gets in lots of fights, and when not in his Vanguard… he usually loses."
Renz, Alexei and Jukkai all shake their heads in disbelief and wonder how exactly these people beat the harvesting Earthling.
After a couple moments of funny looks and contemplation B.C. makes a statement." Well as Meia said, we leave tomorrow. Go pack and prepare for your leave, because you'll be there for a while. Until then." B.C. salutes, in response all the soldiers salute back and they all take their leave waiting til the next day.
