Chapter Two: Meeting on the Elsa

"Cl-Clover?"

The others noticed their surprise at the presence of each other and watched as Clover grinned before running over to the brunette and enveloping her in a hug.

"It's been so long, Shion, I can't believe it. Wait, weren't you on board the Woglinde?"

"Uh, yeah, we got attacked by Gnosis and-"

"What, are you okay!"

Clover began looking the brunette over for injuries to which Shion assured her that she was fine. The others watched in confusion as they apparently knew each other.

"Clove, how in the world did you end up on a ship so far from 2nd Miltia?"

Clover looked uneasy all of a sudden and released the woman from her hold. Momo noticed this and bounce over to them, putting her cuteness to use.

"Thank you for helping us."

Shion looked down at her and smiled at her, "Oh, no problem. I'm just glad you are okay."

Clover sighed, thanking Momo for her distraction.

"And you are?" asked Shion, realizing she had no idea who this girl was.

Ziggy turned to her, "I am a federation government Cyborg, Ziggurat-"

Clover cleared her throat and looked at him, who in turn looked at her before turning back to Shion and her friends.

"Call me Ziggy."

Clover smiled, that was better, and looked at Momo, "She is Momo. She's a Realian with the Federation government."

"Hi" said Momo as she waved to them.

"Shion already knows me but for those who don't, "I'm Clover Uzuki."

The others greeted her openly.

"Now, I'd like to say nice to meet you but we have a bit of a problem, we aren't as safe as we think."

Shion turned to her, "Who is chasing you? And why are you here Clover?"

Clover sighed but was thankful when Ziggy stepped up to answer.

"The Enemy units are Auto-Techs that the U-TIC Organization uses."

"Basically, unmanned fighter crafts" clarified Clover

"We escaped from their ship, and they are the last of the pursuit, however, the mother ship has a transfer system. The enemy units will continue to arrive unless the mother ship is destroyed."

"So, unless we do something, they will overrun the ship" said Shion.

"Sorry for getting you involved, Love" said Clover.

Shion shook her head, "Don't bother apologizing Clover, I'm just glad you are safe. I will hear your explanation on how you got involved afterwards. For now we have to take care of that enemy ship."

Ziggy nodded, "Agreed, it is our duty to get rid of them."

Shion frowned and looked form him to Clover and then to Momo, "As in, Momo and Clover too?"

The Cyborg nodded, "They may not look it, but they are very useful in a fight."

Momo and Clover shared a smile.

Momo looked bashful, "Well I don't know about me, but I'll do my best."

Clover did not take notice to Chaos looking at her with a mystic look in his eyes.

Destroying the mother ship proved difficult. Clover, in the end, had to hack into its system and activate its self destruct command system. Once on the bridge it appeared that they had interrupted something.

"Well who are these guys?" asked a rough looking man.

"She's Momo, this is Ziggy and this is Clover. Ziggy and Momo are with the Federation, and uh-" said Chaos, trailing off to look at Clover.

"Oh, me, just a humble singer from 2nd Milita."

"What's a citizen doing getting involved in this mess?"

"Well, that's a mystery to me as well."

"Wait, did they kidnap you Clover?" asked Shion, alarmed.

"Yeah, I had just finished filming my new video when I was attacked outside my dressing room, imagine my shock to find myself in space, way away from 2nd Miltia."

"They were being held by the U-TIC organization but they managed to escape" said Chaos.

"Yeah, thanks for helping us out" said Clover.

"Thank you very much" said Momo.

"Oh, you're wel- wait, the U-TIC Organization!" cried out the man.

Chaos looked a bit hesitant, "Captain…."

The man walked away, shaking his head as he scratched the back of it, "Huh, never thought I'd hear the cursed name again."

A guy in glasses looked at the man, "What is it, the U-whatever?"

Clover looked forlorn while the man told them it was nothing he had to worry about and to plot their course. Thankfully, Shion offered to make them something and brought them to the bar so everyone could cool down.

"This is for you" said KOS-MOS as she set down some drinks in front of Shion and Clover.

"Thanks KOS-MOS."

Everyone was now sitting around having their own conversations.

"I gotta say old man, those were some sweet moves out there" said Tony.

Ziggy did not say anything but turned to Clover who smirked, "Why thank you, Love."

Tony looked at her shocked, "Whoa, what-that was you!"

"Really?" asked Shion, shocked.

Clover giggled, "Yea, I handled the flight controls, but Momo helped with the navigational stuff, she made it a lot easier, right hun?"

Momo looked down bashfully and giggled, "Yeah."

Tony looked between both of them and sighed, dropping his head down in defeat it seemed, "Unbelievable, shown up by females."

Clover chuckled.

"Hey, Momo, that insignia on your uniform?" asked Shion.

Momo turned on her stool to face her, "Yes?"

"It's from the Mizrahi Labs, right?"

"Yes, I'm a 100-I'm an observational unit."

Shion smiled, "Oh, don't worry about government secrets, KOS-MOS is one too. So, you're a 100-Series Observational Unit from the Lab, a Hilbert Equipped one?"

Momo looked unsure before she looked at Ziggy and then at Clover. In which the two looked at each other before they both nodded to her. Momo smiled and turned back to Shion who had noticed their actions. She knew that Momo and Ziggy would have something to hide, but Clover was just a regular citizen from 2nd Milita. What part did she play in this?

Clover left them to their conversations and left the mess hall and headed to the room Shion had showed her earlier. Chaos' eyes following her the whole way.

Clover sighed as she accessed the communications system on the ship, opening a direct link to 2nd Miltia. Even with a small terminal her ability allowed her to do vast amounts of things with just a simple terminal system.

After a few minutes it connected and a man's face appeared on the screen.

"Clover is that you!"

Make my wish come true

Let darkness fade to light

Clover smiled nearly crying at the sound of Jin's voice. Holding her tears back she looked at him and traced her hand over the virtual screen.

"Hello, love. This is my private link connection after all."

"Oh, thank God, thank God. When no one found you in your dressing room or in the studio I nearly tore that place apart. Ruddy discovered that you were kidnapped."

"Yea, Margulis."

"What!"

Show me there's still hope

Show me it's not over

"Don't worry love, I'm okay."

There was a sigh over the comm. as Jin seemed to calm down.

"Where are you now?"

"On board the cargo ship Elsa, heading for the Miltian Star System. I-I met Shion."

"Huh, but she's supposed to be aboard the Woglinde!"

"It was attacked by Gnosis; at least that's what Shion told me. She managed to escape with her friend Allen and board the ship."

Battles we can win

Our struggle lies within

"And you?"

"I had some help from the Federation, they sent in someone to save myself and another from the U-TIC base."

Everything melted into silence as the two just drowned in the knowledge that everything was okay. Knowing that they would see each other soon.

Will we live to greet the dawn?

"I have to go love, but I will call again."

"You had better, Clove."

"I will, promise" she said wishing that she could take the man in her arms, to be held in that protective embrace. Despite being strong, she was scared and needed something to anchor her down, something that would assure her everything was okay.

Love will not leave you

Hate will not heal you

"I love you."

"Love you, Clove. Stay safe."

Connection was terminated and Clover wiped away her tears before they could fall. Telling herself that that would not be the last time she would say she loved Jin. That there would be many times when she could wrap herself in his embrace.

Promise me one day

That peace shall reign.
