Chap 1
Spike and Vicious are playing cards while Faye looks through a magazine, when suddenly Ed screams "INCOMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" There's a sudden crash and the bebop begins to shake violently. "What the hell is going on," Spike cries out as he picks himself up off the ground. " Something hit the ship" Jet calls out. Then the shaking stops and calm returns to the bebop. Spike, Vicious, and Faye all go to the engine room to check out the damage. When they get there they find Jet buried inside the ship's engine. "What happened" Faye asked. " Space garbage it's very common around Jupiter" Jet replied unconcerned. " I thought we were going to Mars" Vicious asked. " Change of plans, we got a bounty head, 300,000 woulongs" Jet replied. Vicious let out an unusual sigh and walked off. " What's the deal with him" Faye asked as she watched Vicious walk off. "Vicious was a soldier in the war on titan" Spike replied as he lit his cigarette. "Wow, he never told me that" Faye responded with a little bit of shock. "He doesn't like to talk about it" Spike said as he turned to Jet to survey the damage. "Well I'm going to go talk to him" Faye said as if not noticing Spike's attentions were elsewhere. Faye left the engine room and went to control room we're she found Vicious meditating in zero gravity. Faye called out " Hey Vicious I'd like to…" Vicious interrupted her by signaling to give him one more minute. When he was done he opened his eyes and pushed himself towards the entrance and returned to normal gravity. As vicious began to stretch Faye started over, " So why didn't you ever tell me about Titan." " What's to tell" Vicious responded showing no sign of interest in the conversation. "Well apparently something if going to Jupiter bothers you so much" Faye responded becoming increasingly annoyed at Vicious. "Why does it matter to you" Vicious said with a quiet disdain. This nearly caused Faye to snap, "Oh I don't know maybe cause I care about you, maybe cause I want to know more about you, or Maybe I just want to know why your being such a fucking prick" she responded in almost a yell. Vicious responded to this by turning to her and putting his hand on the side of her face. "Your curse is that you can't remember your past, mine is that I can" Vicious replied in a surprisingly calm tone. He then let go and walked away. Faye timidly walked back to the bridge where Julia was reading while Ed played with Ein. "Hey Julia what's the deal with Vicious and Titan" Faye asked still wanted an answer to Vicious' actions. "Oh you mean he never told you" Julia replied, "You see back when me and Vicious, Vicious used to like robbing jewelry stores and one day an off duty cop caught him in the act. So the cop took him in what the cop didn't know was the Vicious was a red dragon and the red dragons have a lot of the right kind of friends. So they made a deal and got Vicious off with some community service, however had they he known community service meant he would be drafted he probably would have gone to jail." " So what happened on Titan" Faye asked. Julia thought for a second and responded, "I'm not really sure all I know his one day Vicious' camp got raided and he got captured he was POW for 3 years before being let free." "Wow, hey is that why he always acts so cold and removed" Faye asked. " No he was always like that though I don't think it helped" Julia responded. "He's dead," Spike said as he walked into the room. "What" Faye replied with a little alarm, "Who's dead"? "Vicious, the reason he acts that way is because he's dead" Spike answered. "What the hell are you talking about" Faye asked belligerently. "Well a part of him is dead at least. You see after Vicious came home from Titan he we where talking and I had said that I was afraid that he had died. He said and I quote 'I've been dead for along time Spike and no man can die twice' " Spike explained upon finishing he walked out and went back to the engine room. Faye sat there for a second in silence while Faye absorbed all the information. Faye finally pushed herself to speak " Well that was a little fucked up." "Yeah well Vicious is a little fucked up" Julia responded as she got up off the couch, "Well I'm gonna go see how spike and jet are doing with the engine, you want to come." " No I think I'll just hang out here for a while" Faye replied as she sat down on the couch. As Julia left, Faye began to reflect on things and think about Vicious and what he had said to her 'Your curse is that you can't remember your past mine is that I can'.
