Treasure Planet

Chapter 2

'There are still nights when the winds of the etherium, so inviting in their promise of light and freedom, make one's spirit soar!'

-12 years later-

Dull and without color, that's what this city was. There was no life, no adventures, nothing. Deidara hated this planet, with a passion. His home-planet, planet Montressor. He would honestly do anything to get away from it. Get away from everything. And that's what he did; He flied. He flied away from everything he hated about his life. And he didn't understand why people always had to stop him from doing it. Doing what he wanted. Stop him from flying. Cutting his wings off.

Deidara built his first solar-surfer when he was eight years old. It was a simple board, with a solar-sail, strong bar-handles and a very powerful engine rocket at the back. A board, a sail, and an engine might not sound like anything too special, but to Deidara, his solar-surfer was a lot more than just that. He treasured the solar-surfer because it helped him feel free. He felt like a caged-bird, stuck in a cage filled with painful memories, sorrow, pain and depression. The feeling of being useless. Then again Deidara wasn't sure if that was a feeling he had in him, or if it was the word everyone described him with. It was what he was. He was useless. To everyone, it seemed like. Besides to his solar-surfer, his favorite hobby, his passion, his talent. Flying. He would visit the clouds with his sweet board, visit the world up there, a better world, with no worries.

His blue eyes opened, feeling pity as he looked down at the lifeless people long way down there on the ground. The people on planet Montressor would always see the bottoms of the clouds, but Deidara...

A smirk appeared on his lips as he looked away from the boring houses many, many kilometers down. He had risen enough, right? He was really high way up, and it was a good spot... Yeah, this was perfect!

Taking a sharp inhale, the blonde haired boy dropped the solar-sail of his surfer, and almost leaned into the air. He almost dropped himself into the strong arms of the air, leaning back and closing his eyes, letting it catch him. The straps attached to his feet keeping him on the board as begins to free-fall, head down, faster and faster, the wind running through his jacket, his hair, whole him. There was an amazing, refreshing feel to it, each time was just as good. It was like the wind ran through his jacket and grabbed all the pain that he hid under there, and threw it out. The wind washed off all the worries he had, and comfortingly caressed him, setting his inner-self free. He knew he had it in him... He had to! Somewhere, down there in his heart, his soul, there was a man with a future. A person who could do things right...! Wasn't there?

As Deidara falls, he performs a few stunts, professionally twisting and twirling with his board, finally opening his eyes. The blue eyes that were now twinkling because of all the passion in them, a bit narrowed in concentration as the boy kept spinning the board around as he fell. He looked down, seeing he was getting closer to the ground. It would be so easy, to just do nothing, and let himself smash into the ground with a loud bam...

When he was about ten meters above the ground, he opened the shining solar-sail and as soon as it catches the sun, it rocks Deidara forward with great speed, causing Deidara to laugh in triumph and excitement. This was just how he wanted his life to be! Fast, exciting, fun! He wanted adventure and thrill, he wanted to let his heart beat quickly as he faced the dangerous parts of life... He wanted danger. Needed, loved, craved.

He cruised down the empty valley not bothering to speed down the slightest. He flew past the big rocks in the quarry he was in, turning the solar board upside down so he could fly with his face close to the ground. The feeling made his stomach flip over every single time... It was so damn thrilling! Face and head this close to the ground as he flew forward with great speed. Death so close, all the time.His smirk didn't vanish, it even widened as he turned himself back up so he was flying normally again. He could see the area he was getting closer to was some sort of large coal power plant, with big machines and long pipes and towers... Seemed to be a forbidden area...? Why, this would be fun!

Deidara didn't even think twice; He crashed through the barrier that obviously intended to keep people out. But he didn't care, at all, he was spontaneous and blinded by adrenaline. No one was there anyways!

Grinding against one of the pipes hanging in the air, his eyes observed the large machinery digging into the quarry wall he was heading towards. It seemed to be a huge wheel that was scraping rock downwards. And along the inside rim of the circle that the machinery formed there were openings... Oh yes, Deidara was totally going to time his flight perfectly so he could go through one of those holes and get out on the other side, alive. Well it would be pretty sad if he was crushed to death, but hey, he just needed timing, right?

Let's see... Furrowing his brows as he focused on the holes that kept closing and opening, all of them at the same time. He decided to go through the one that was on the highest level, so he wouldn't have to turn his solar-surfer left or right. He just kept going straight forward, grinning at the machinery challengingly.

Suddenly he dropped the solar-sail and leaned forward. "BRING IT ON, UN!"

He didn't even give his mind a time to hesitate. He didn't let himself tremble, his heart stop. He just aimed right at the opening, and felt a shiver run down his spine as he found himself inside of the opening. Seeing it about to close, about to crush him, for less than second. And then he was out, on the other side, still in one healthy peace of flesh and bones.

As he comes through, he grabs the back of his surfer in a quick little stunt, whooping in victory and pure joy. That was so fucking sick! Still in ecstasy, Deidara laughed as he rose his solar-sail once again, rising up in the air in a calmer speed.

This was what he loved and it was clear to him why he loved it. It was the feeling of freedom and danger, he loved that. He just wished he had more of it. And he wished people would stop trying to make him change. None of them understood; They didn't know anything about him or his life. Not even his mother understood him. Deidara loved his mother, dearly so, but he wished deeply for her to one day understand him. Let him do something right, his way, let him prove he was a good son. Not just a rebellious brat who liked solar-surfing through forbidden areas at super high speed-

Wait... What was that sound?

He suddenly heard the annoying noise of police sirens behind him, and all the happiness and excitement he had been feeling was wiped off of his face. Just like the passion in his eyes. There were two robotic constables coming up behind, Deidara knew that. It wasn't really the first time he had been caught by the police... Damn it. He rolled said eyes, sighing slightly, "Wonderful..." knowing what was waiting for him.

Why did people always have to stop him?

Things had changed. Not only for Deidara but for Mari, his mother, too. And they hadn't really changed for the good, no. Things weren't going upwards for them, and it was all killing Mari. She felt worn out, like she was aging too quickly, working too much. It was all the same day out and day in. Seasons came and went, and she worked and worked and worked. She didn't know what to do with Deidara anymore, he seemed so impossible... Ever since his father left them, he had started acting so empty. And of course she could understand why. But it hurt to see him depressed like that. He shouldn't be feeling like that, he was a bright and happy boy deep down. Very high-spirited, warm, passionate. Like when he was a child! He had just wrapped all of those good things in a little box and put them aside. She knew it was because of his father but... But he had to get over it. They had to get over it. But especially Deidara; He had failed school, he had been warned by the police several times. If he wasn't more careful he would have to go to Juvenile Hall. And if Mari didn't have her son...

No, no, he would go to any kind of jail. Not today, not in the future. Actually, things had seemed to be going better for Deidara. And she was really glad. It was okay, she would keep working so that they would have money, as long as Deidara was happy with himself and his life.

Deidara's mother owned a quite cozy inn, called 'The Benbow Inn'. It was rather casual, with a little sign by the port where the ships could land. The planet of Montressor wasn't very big, and they didn't have many inns. So having one by the end of the city wasn't too bad. People came and went, some stayed longer than others, some only stayed one day or less. Maybe just to eat.

Mari sighed slightly, putting a plate filled with food on the big tray in her hand, before exiting the kitchen to enter the dining room. She was a weary-looking woman now, her hair not sun-kissed anymore, and her eyes always tired and dull-looking. She could still smile though, and was happy for everything she had left. She was happy for still having Deidara. And the inn. She loved the inn, it was their home since ages, it was perfect. With the little garden outside and their terrace and...

"Mrs. Katsuhiko!~"

The blonde woman turned towards the pretty exasperated voice, giving an apologetic smile at the older woman who was calling her name. She couldn't serve everyone at the same time though... "Yes, Mrs. Suwa, refill on the purp juice! Coming right up!" Leaving the older woman who had called for her with a slightly irritated look, Mari made it to the table she had originally been headed for. There was a father and a mother sitting with their little son by the table. All of them with slightly green skin, round yellow eyes and... Well they looked a bit like toads. These were called the 'Benbonians'. You see, the galaxy consists of all kinds of different creatures and species.

They all looked quite excited as Mari served them, putting down the mothers plate, then the fathers, and finally the little boy's meal. "There we go, that's four powdered spheroids, two lunar eclipses, and it's a big bowl of Zerellian jelly worms, for the big boy!" She chuckled slightly as the little boy smiled happily in delight, "Awesome!" grabbing handfuls of the squirming maggots Mari had put in front of him. "Enjoy!" She left to serve another customer, a very special one this time... An old friend.

She reaches the table where the orange-haired man she had been looking for was patiently sitting, reading a book. "I'm so sorry, Pain, It's been a madhouse here all morning!" She sighed a bit as she put down the remaining food items on the tray; A bowl of soup and a glass filled with water. The man looked up from his book, letting Mari see the familiar face with all those weird piercings everywhere. Through his nose, his ears... He had them through his shoulders and arms too. Well, like she mentioned; all kinds of creatures and species.

But other than the odd piercings and the weird gray eyes with rings in them, he was human-looking. He smiled at her kindly. "It's fine, Mari, thank you." The woman returned the smile, before going back with the tray to the kitchen.

Pain put his book aside and rubbed his hands together a bit, quite excited about the meal. He was starving, and it had been long since last time he got to eat Mari's wonderful food! It sure smelled delicious as always! "Alponian soup with extra solaris pepper, delicious." He muttered to himself, picking up the spoon next to the bowl. And that was when he suddenly felt a little Benbonian girl standing next to his table silently staring at him with wide, yellow eyes.

…

"... Hello? What brings you here, curious little... One?" He rose one of his orange brows, using a rather cautious tone as he spoke... Seriously, what did she want? She didn't answer or anything. Pain took a spoonful of his meal, about to put it in his mouth, but found the girl was still staring. And it made him very uncomfortable, so he had to pause again, not being able to put the spoon in his mouth. "Come on, go play." He gave her a little glare, waving her off a bit, but she didn't budge and just kept staring at him. "Hey, where are your parents?" Was she... COULDN'T THE KID'S PARENTS KEEP AN EYE ON HER? Disrespectful little... Child. At least she could answer? "What's the matter?" He tried smiling at her, keeping his calm, kind tone, "Cat got your- AAH!"

Suddenly the Benbonian girl's frog-like tongue stuck out and caught the food on Pain's spoon, knocking it out of his hand- WHAT THE HELL...

Pain simply stared at her with wide eyes, as she began skipping away happily. The poor man was frozen in shock for a while, but managed to calm down a bit when he saw Mari coming up to him, watching the girl who had just walked away from Pain's table. "Aw, they're so adorable at that age!" Pain snorted inwardly, adverting his eyes a bit as he replied falsely, "Yes. Deplorable- 'dorable. Ahum." He watched as the blonde woman smiled slightly as she shook her head. She had began loading dishes that had to be washed. "Speaking of which..." He began, tone more kind and casual. "How's Deidara doing?"

"Much better," She began, putting the dirty dishes aside. "I know he had some rough spots earlier this year, but I really think that he's starting to turn a corner." She smiled a bit and picked up more dishes, actually liking the sound of that. He was 17 years old now, maybe he was slowly realizing he could actually do something with his life?

And just then, the front door burst open, to reveal the very same Deidara they had been talking about, with the robot-hands of two robot-constables on his shoulders, firlmy holding him in place. The boy was wearing a rather unamused look.

Mari dropped the dishes she had been carrying in horror. What...!? "Deidara!" Pain could only wince at the unfolding scene, "Ooh, wrong turn..."
