Azuka had been gathering information on her one time partner Ryoko for more
than 700 years. Ryoko had vanished shortly after a job they pulled on a
space freighter carrying price less gems of Jurai. Azuka remembered the job
well even after the centuries. She drifted off thinking if there was
anything else she could have done to save Ryoko.
Azuka's ship the Highwind and Ryoko's Ryo-Ohki were known as the Plagues of Space. The sleek blue and silver Highwind boasted the most advanced shielding and weaponry know, and Ryo-Ohki was the fastest and most agile ship ever. The plan was the same as any other job, Azuka would go in first distracting the target ship and any others guarding the target. Then Ryoko would weave in and out of the enemies firing destroying and defensive formation that the enemy could make. Everything was going smoothly until a large force suddenly appeared on radar. There was half the fleet of Jurai trying to capture them.
"Ryoko its your call, do we run or do we fight" Azuka asked with a slight grin on her face.
"You know the answer to that, you take the left I'll take the right" Ryoko said returning the grin.
'Why did I listen to her we had no chance in winning' Azuka thought to herself.
The fight was not going well. Their target was one of many red dots on the Highwind's radar. Ryo-Ohki was but a red and black flash on Azuka's view screen taking down enemy fights, but for every one she took down two more appeared. Soon the two ships were encircled by Jurai ships, a tired Ryoko was shown on Azuka's forward screen.
"Well miss tactician, what do we now?" Ryoko said gasping for air.
"Umm lets see we can go down in a blaze of glory." Azuka started
"I don't like that idea very much" Ryoko said interrupting
". I didn't think so, we can surrender but that's not much better. The only thing reasonable is to run, I'm sure we can outrun those old ships with ease" Azuka suggested. Just then Ryo-Ohki took a hit that left her floating in space.
"RYOKO!!" Azuka scream rushing the Highwind over to surround Ryo-Ohki in it's shields.
"Damn it, I should have been able to dodge that" Ryoko said coughing up a little blood.
"Come we need to get out of here" Azuka shouted while quickly putting in coordinates for their hyper space jump. "You'll never get a clean jump with all these ships in your way, I'll clear you a path then I'll follow, hurry up." Ryoko shouted launch Ryo-Ohki into a series of barrel rolls destroying a Jurai devastator opening a hole in the blockade large enough for the Highwind to get away.
"Come Ryoko lets go while we still can, we can get revenge on Jurai for this later" Azuka pleaded.
"Goodbye Azuka.. We had a nice run, but, only one of us can make it out before those ships close in, and I chose you to go, have a nice life" having said that Ryoko activate the Highwind's reactors from Ryo-Ohki forcing Azuka to jump leaving Ryoko all alone.
"Ryoko..no..RYOKO!!!!" Azuka screamed.
She remembered the day she lost Ryoko all to well, but no she finally would find out what happen to her long lost partner and if she really was killed, or if the rumors of her surviving were true.
Well that's the end of Chapter 1 please R/R
