Dark Axis

Magna Musai

Commander Sazabi paced across his office as he waited for his guest to arrive. He sighed and looked out the large window, Thiesel Thyme would not be happy to learn that Chaos Cammerce, his intended, had been missing for a week. The search team that had gone looking for her one week ago had found no trace of her. Wither she had been captured or killed no one knew. Grappler was still holding out hope she was only captured and would show up sooner or later, hopefully unharmed. Sazabi, himself, secretly hoped that as well. Seeing Grappler so...not himself was disconcerting and odd.

There were three sharp knocks at the Commander's door.

Thiesel hadn't the slightest clue as to why Commander Sazabi had summoned him from Lacroa so suddenly. He initially assumed that perhaps the General had wanted him and Chaos to bond sooner than planned and he was there to pick her up. He couldn't even fathom the true reasons for him being called the Magna Musai…

Sazabi sighed and turned toward the door. "Enter." He waited for the vampire to come inside so he could get this over with.

Thiesel slipped in quietly. The vampiric Knight Gundam seemed agitated at best. "You sent for me, Commander? I'm going to assume that she's ready to be transferred with me..."

Sazabi gave Thiesel a disinterested look at best when he came in. He quite disliked how he referred to Chaos. The Commander of the Magna Musai hadn't once heard the gundam vampire call her by name. He may have agreed to this arrangement the General set up but he hadn't been happy about it. The big red mech sighed, "I'm afraid not quite, Thyme. There's...been a development with Miss Cammerce."

Thiesel straightened his posture. He wasn't liking where this was going. "Really, how so?"

Sazabi didn't beat around the bush, "She's gone missing. During her first trip to Neotopia. One week ago."

Thiesel frowned behind his facemask. "What! How could she just vanish? Do you not know how to watch you soldiers, Commander?"

"Of course I do!" Sazabi clenched his fists, "Her tracking signal went offline moments after arriving in Neotopia. We sent a party, multiple parties though the week, to find her. We are suspecting she was somehow captured by the Gundam Force."

"This is unacceptable," The vampiric Gundam growled. "Something that was promised, owed to me was allowed to carrying out a mission on her own? If I didn't know any better you and Gouf planned on this little disappearance to smuggle her away, correct me if I'm wrong."

"We did no such thing, Thyme!" The commander was starting to lose his temper. "You forget she was originally made to be a forth squadron leader aboard this ship and to help with the invasion. It was only recently the General decided to pair you two up. So, yes she was allowed out on her own. It was merely a recon mission that, unfortunately, went wrong. We are doing everything we can to find her! I decided to call you here and tell you since you are betrothed to her."

Thiesel went silent. He snapped the pistons in his neck tiredly and began slowly pacing the room. "Hmm, Commander Sazabi," he grumbled as he stopped to face the larger mech. "I have a proposition for you."

Sazabi looked upon Thiesel with a light glowing optic, "Hmm...Depends what it is."

"It's nothing complicated..." Thiesel began studying his digits, trying to look uninterested. "I shall go to Neotopia and try to recover Cammerce. If I am successful and I bring her back you must allow me to take her back to Lacroa. If I fail and you salvage her first than she may stay with you for as long as you need her."

Sazabi's optic darkened slightly, he did not like that. Gouf would dislike it even more. What was worse was that if he didn't agree now, the vampire would surely tell Zeong and that would not end well. Sadly the commander couldn't allow the General to do something to them, for two secret reasons of his own. He sighed not wanting to make this deal and let Thiesel take Chaos before she was ready or well just not as ready as she would have been later on. "...Very well."

"Hmm, excellent." Thiesel stroked his chin thoughtfully and looked to the other mech. "I'll begin right away. If you could have your men open the gate to Neotopia I shall begin my search. Just a reminder, Stalemate, I have never lost a challenge. You can expect both of us back here soon."

Sazabi nodded, "I'll let them know right away." He watched Thiesel leave before glaring at the door, "For Chaos's sake, I hope you lose."

Hmm, well looks like Chaos is in some trouble. Let's hope she'll be okay. R&R and hope you enjoyed!
