(this is the first fanfiction I have posted on this website, so I understand if its not all that good.... critique is welcome, and I hope it isn't too terrible.)
chapter one:
"Apparently they found some sort of weird fossil thing on Genshi a couple weeks ago, and you wanna know what the creepiest part is?" Said Jeena to her partner, as the ship left Kollin's atmosphere and into space.
"The fact it mysteriously dissapeared yesterday night, and that the guards who were on duty where it was being kept were apparently killed even though no bodies or fingerprints or anything were found?" Rallen replied. It had been all over the news, a mysterious fossil had been found, only to be stolen a few days later. No finger prints, No shattered glass, No evidince that anyone had gotten in or gotten out of the room, the guards were reported dead-- but no bodies were found.
"Some of the researchers believed that it was some sort of fossilized krawl." Jeena continued, and noticed the look of shock on Rallen's face, "but there haven't been any reports of krawl activity anywhere, so I doubt this is nothing too serious..." but despite her explanation and all the evidence that backed it up, both she and Rallen still were somewhat concerned since that was always the thing about the krawl: just when you think you have them defeated for good, they always come back-- and worse.
"Maybe we should change the subject..." Rallen said as he set the ship to automatic flight mode, and komainu hopped into his lap, rubbing its furry red head against his chest as if saying 'please pet me!'.
"Good idea." She replied. She had always enjoyed getting to spend time alone with him when they weren't in krawl-battling mode, and slowly she began to wonder if she still liked being "just friends" or maybe if she wanted more than friendship from him, what if she loved him? 'Just stop thinking about him like that' Jeena thought, 'you'll make a fool of yourself just trying to tell him'. "So.... what do you want to talk about?"
"I've actually been meaning to tell you something." Rallen said, hoping that he wouldn't end up beating around the bush like he had way too many times. Unlike Jeena, Rallen knew for a fact (and didn't deny, but wasn't sure wether to tell her) that he loved her. "I... I've been meaning to tell you that I..." he reached over to hold her hand "I lo-" Rallen was interuppted by the sound of the emergency transmission alert. 'Dang it... so close...' he thought, as an image of comander Grant came up on one of the holograhic screens.
"This is comander Grant, Rallen, Jeena, we need you two back at headquarters as fast as possible. We're facing the worst krawl attack yet and-" the transmission ended there, and without even having to say anything they were already headed back to Kollin, but what would await them there would be something that neither one of them would expect.
