Sleepless Beauty, Chapter #2 - Ghost of You

Chaos went up to the bridge. 'Better late then never.' He thought as he walked through the door. When the door slid open, everyone turned to see who it was. There was one thing out of place, Jr. standing on the bridge.

"Ah, chaos. Your awake." Captain Matthews stated.

Jr. walked over to chaos. "So your finally awake, Sleeping beauty." He jabbed him in the ribs slightly to let chaos know it was a joke. He winced, surprised by the action.

"So Jr., what are you doing here? We're going to be going back into space soon you know. Won't the Kukai foundation and the Durandle miss one of their founders?" chaos said as he walked over to his station and sat down and started preparing the ship for the launch.

"Nah. I need a vacation anyway!" He sat down cross-legged on the floor. A few minutes passed in silence till MOMO came through the door carrying her things that she had on the Elsa in a suitcase. Jr. hated to see her carrying a suitcase, because that meant he would have to say good bye to her. The chance of them meeting up again sometime soon was very slim. They both knew that.

"Hey MOMO." Jr. gave a small wave after he said that.

"Hey Jr. I was hoping I could see you all before I left." She said quietly. You could tell that she was sad just by looking at her. "Okay…I guess I'm ready to go." She said to every one on the bridge.

Everyone in the room turned to face her. "Bye MOMO. Call me if you ever have a problem." Chaos said.

"Bye. Come visit sometime." Tony said.

"Yeah kid, if you want in the future you can go with us again. Like a vacation. " Mathews said.

"Yep, and if you ever need to hack into anything. I'm here." Hammer said, before Captain Matthews kicked him in the back of the head.

They finished saying their goodbyes. Before she left, she told Jr. to meet her at the beach.

He waited five minutes before asking, "How long till we leave."

"Probably in an a hour." Hammer said.

'Great,' he thought, 'It takes 10 minutes to get to the beach from here. Better get going.' Jr. sighed and walked towards the door. He turned around. " I better go see what MOMO wanted." he thought. Jr. sighed and walked towards the door. He turned around.

" I better go see what MOMO wanted."

"Okay. Just don't be late or we'll leave you." Matthews said.

"Right old man." Jr. mumbled under his breath as he walked out.

- At the beach on the Kukai Foundation-

MOMO stood on the deck of the beach house. The wind tossed her peach colored hair in different directions. Her amber eyes reflecting the beautiful orange light from the sunset. Jr. stood behind her, looking at the sight in front of him. 'She looks so much like Sakura.' He thought.

"So, why'd you ask me here?" He said, breaking the calm sound of waves crashing against the beach. She turned around, startled, looked into his eyes, and gulped.

"Well…I just wanted to say goodbye to you before I left." He walked over to the railing beside her and leaned on it, looking out at the ocean. She walked beside him and leaned over the railing like he was.

"Jr., what are you going to do now that every thing is done." She spoke gently, her gaze never wavering from the sight of the setting sun.

"I don't know. Haven't thought about it. I guess I'll travel on the Elsa a little. Then I will wait for something to happen. This 'Abel's ark' might pose as a threat. We'll see in time." Sighing, he glanced over at her and felt as if he could never look away.

They were quiet for some time, enjoying each others company for what seemed to be the last time. Jr. noticed something terrifying. The sunset was starting to fade and he came when it was just starting. He moved his gaze slowly to his watch fearfully. His eyes widened when he saw what he had hoped he wouldn't see. He had been there for 59 minutes! "AHHH!" He yelped and jumped back from the railing in surprise.

"Jr.? What's wrong?" She straightened herself up and looked at the panicking redhead. He was acting like a cat that had just been thrown in freezing cold water.

"I'm sorry MOMO. I got to go now. I'm sorry!" Before he left he kissed her on the cheek. "See ya'!" He called to the cherry colored faced girl. She waved, unable to speak.

On the Elsa----------------------

"Captain, you weren't serious about leaving Jr. … Were you?" chaos asked, worried.

"Yes I was. He isn't here now so we're leaving." He crossed his arms and looked ahead.

All of a sudden they heard crashing and banging coming down the hall towards the bridge. They all turned around and looked towards the door. As if on cue, Jr. came through the door his face red from running. It was obvious that he had hit things cause he looked like he had went through the Miltan war combined with World War 1 and 2.

He stumbled through the door and fell down beside chaos' station. "I…made it." he sputtered out between pants.

Chaos bent down and looked at him. "Jr. Are you okay?"

"I made it." He said again. Chaos sighed and shook his head.

"He's broken." Hammer said, shaking his head. Jr. stood up slowly and walked over to the door. "I'm going to go to bed for the night." He said and limped out of the bridge.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

chaos was going to wake Jr. up for supper. Until he found out what it was, curry. Not just any curry, Tony's curry. The only curry in the universe that looked as if it could grow arms, legs, and teeth, then eat you. He figured he would save Jr. from food poisoning if he didn't wake him up.

Instead of eating the toxic food, chaos went to bed. He laid in the dark room for at least 2 hours before drifting off to sleep. Strangely enough, he didn't dream.

'Yeshua…' He heard a woman that sounded a lot like KOS MOS say. 'Yeshua…Time's will get harder. You will be revealed soon. No matter what happens, I… will protect you.'

'KOS MOS… Is that you?' He thought sleepily.

'I'm sorry yeshua…I must go now.' Her voice in his head faded away slowly. Only leaving a memory of the sweet sound.

All of a sudden he heard sirens that shattered the silence. Jr. let out a loud yelp as he fell from his bunk. "What's that chaos?" Jr. growled sleepily, his eyes half open. Apparently very ticked off about being awakened so rudely.

"I don't know." Chaos mumbled, slightly annoyed. He knew who was causing it all. Wilhelm's group, the Testaments.

The intercom came on and Matthews voice practically screamed, "Every one! Report to the bridge immediately! We have a big problem!" As soon as he said that, the ship shook violently as if it was hit .

Chaos and Jr. hastily made their way to the bridge. When they got to the doors, they opened automatically. Chaos saw what he hoped he wouldn't see. There was a battleship in front of them. It was twice the size of the Elsa, and looked stronger too.

"What's going on?" Jr. demanded as chaos went over and sat at his station.

"We don't know! We just gated out away from the foundation and traveled a few minutes and then we detected them. Before we knew it we were under attack!" Tony explained franticly. Chaos was checking the ships stats and saw that they had sustained damage from one of the enemy's lasers.

"chaos, what's the status of the ships shields?" Matthews bellowed through the sounds of the alarms going off all around them.

"About 76 percent." He brought up a few more screens that showed a close up of the enemy ship. ' Just as I thought. Wilhelm sure is going all out on this.' He felt the ship shake again. ' This ship can't beat them. I've got to stop them!' He saw the ships shields wouldn't hold off much longer. ' But how? How can I stop them? I can't leave the bridge. If we can avoid them…'

Chaos stood up. "We have to get away from this enemy ship! The shields are down to 25 percent! If we stay here we die!" Everyone looked at him. For a few moments, tension filled the air. Everyone agreed in their head.

"Let's do it!" Tony yelled. He dodged one of the coming beams, almost not missing it. The enemy ship fired again. Tony dodged it gracefully, and moved behind the enemy ship. When they did that, the opposing ship set off a trio of beams. The Elsa couldn't dodge them. Everyone in the ship yelled as the inside of the ship was filled with a blinding white light.

"Yeshua…" chaos opened up his eyes slowly and was met with a beautiful sight. He was laying on his side in an area that was completely white. He tried to move and failed. "Yeshua…this isn't the end for you." He tried to talk and couldn't. He saw a silhouette of a young walking towards him.

'KOS MOS?' He thought. ' Is that you?'

The figure walked a little closer. Sure enough, there stood KOS MOS with her long blue hair blowing behind her. He wanted to run up to her and hug her. To keep her with him forever. He knew he couldn't do that.

" I promised I'd protect you," she stopped walking, "I love you… yeshua…." The dream world slowly stared to disappear and he heard some one calling him in the distance. The cascade of light turned to black. The next thing chaos was aware of was a dull pain in the back of his head.

"chaos! Wake up!" He heard Jr. say as he felt he was being shook. He opened his eyes and the world came into focus.

He was in the Elsa. It looked as if the had taken no damage. Everyone, except Jr., was looking at the ships stats. "Hey you guys, he's awake!" Jr. said in his normal tone. Chaos tried to stand up but he got dizzy and ended up falling back down. "What's…wrong with me?" He said sitting up and holding his aching head.

"You hit your head pretty hard when we took that last hit." Tony walked over and said. He knelt down next to chaos, who was still holding his head.

"Yeah. We thought you were dead. Strange enough, we didn't take any damage from that attack. The ship has even been repaired somehow." Hammer said in amazement.

Matthews leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. "Well, who cares how the ship got repaired. Let's just be glad it is."

Chaos stared at Matthews. 'KOS MOS…did you do this?' He thought. He tried to stand up and started to fall when Tony caught him. "Okay, man. You need to go rest." Tony said, letting chaos stand on his own when he was sure he wasn't going to fall again.

Chaos hesitated. "I can't. What if something else happens?" Tony shook his head. "You worry too much." He walked back over to the pilot's seat and sat down again. "Don't worry, we'll call you if something happens."

Chaos silently nodded, figuring that further argument would lead to a fight between one of the crew. He walked out and leaned up against a wall. His head still hurt, but not as bad as it had been earlier. He sighed as he went into the men's cabin.

He laid on his bunk and took out the locket again. He was the only one that knew about the locket. He thought about the last time he saw her alive.

Flashback-------------------------------------------------------

KOS MOS sat on the front porch of her house. She was waiting for Yeshua to come pick her up. She was a little nervous, because they were going on their first date and he was late. So there she was, sitting on her front porch playing with one of the barrettes in her hair.

"KOS MOS." KOS MOS's head jerked up at the sound of her name being said. Her eyes went straight to the person. Yeshua stood at the steps of the porch looking at her. She got up, ran to him, and practically jumped in his arms. He gave a small chuckle. "Miss me?" She let go and looked up at him. She nodded. "You've been gone for a whole month!" She pouted a small pout before hugging him tightly again.

--------------End flashback.--------------------------------------------

He smiled at that memory. He had been gone for a month. He told her he had went away because of his work, which wasn't a lie. He had gotten another assignment from Wilhelm. But, she didn't know that Wilhelm was the one chaos had got the assignment from.

"I wish I could have told her I loved her when she was alive. I …wanted to tell her everything." He whispered to himself. He felt his eye's stinging from the unshed tears and the anger he always held under everything wasn't helping it. He buried his head in his pillow to keep himself from crying and screaming. A few minuets later, his mind had calmed down and the emotions of hatred and regret had subsided. He allowed his mind to rest, and slipped off to sleep.

Ok. I combined the 3rd and 4th chapters now and revised 'em. I know I haven't updated it in a while now but I have a reason. Erm... I think I forgot it though. Well, I hope this verson is better.
