Chapter 12
Taking A Chance
From the doorway to his room, Blade lets out a sigh while looking at a certain succubus under his covers. He crosses his arms.
"Come on, Blade! Get over here and warm me up. I'm fucking cold." Kurumu practically shouts.
Her fresh clothes were also strewn about all over the place.
"Why should I? I'm pretty mad at you and Star for what you two did. I could have helped you out there if I could've gotten into Pegas."
Star comes up behind him and gently places a hand on his shoulder. "Come on, Blade. It was for your own good. You would have instantly jumped into Pegas and turned into your Teknoman form as soon as Ringo and Balzac ran into trouble. I had to change the voice activation."
He frowned even more just from hearing her say that.
"This whole Iceland expedition could have gone a lot easier if you had let me change. Kurumu nearly froze to death." He says.
Star walks past him and climbs into the bed. She gets under Blade's covers with Kurumu.
"She wasn't in there long. It could have been a lot worse if she wouldn't have brought up using the Z-tron weapons under water."
After a shiver, Kurumu speaks up. "I might be a bit of an idiot when it comes to technology, but Tsukune once told me that not all weapons can work under water."
"Good thing, too. Ringo probably would have tried firing his weapon under the water when all those sea crabs started getting closer and closer. They barely got out, but you guys took them out above the water along with Pegas."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Blade asks in a rather unkind tone. "Kurumu got knocked into that freezing cold water."
"If you're that worried, then come over here and help warm me up, damnit!"
"Yes. Blade, you come over here and help me warm her up. But, why did you get naked, Kurumu?"
"Skin contact is the best way to warm a person up. So, you should get naked too, Star."
Star gets a furious blush on her face. Kurumu doesn't even give her a chance to think it over as she quickly begins stripping the other girl.
"Wait . . . Hey! . . . ."
Even the stone-cold Blade gets a blush on his face with this unfurling before his own eyes, and even within his own bed.
Ringo had heard some commotion and was walking down the hallway. "Hey is everything okay?"
'Oh, shit! I can't let him see what's going on in here.' He thinks to himself.
Star gives him a stare that lets him know that she was thinking the exact same thing. Everything except the blush on her face turns completely pale.
He quickly walks fully into his room. "Everything's fine." He calmly tells Ringo, and the door shuts. He presses a button on the keypad that locks the door.
Kurumu gets a grin on her face despite how cold she was. "So, you can accept defeat and come over here, or you can go back out there and explain this to Ringo."
He crosses his arms and considers going back out. Star looks away while leaning her back against the wall and gets a slight feeling of rejection. Kurumu notices.
"Come, on! Do you really want to leave Star like this? Besides, what guy doesn't want two naked women in his bed?"
Star, hurt, lies down and faces the wall. "It's fine, Kurumu. He's not like that." She mumbles.
'Shit. Maybe I shouldn't have teased so much, but I am freaking cold. This'll turn really bad for them if this block-head doesn't get in bed with us.'
She extends an arm out from under the covers and motions for him to urgently come over. The worried expression on her face urges him to also come.
He grumbles, but then he slowly walks up to the bed while taking his shirt off. Kurumu motions for him to get between them. While settling in between them, Kurumu whispers to him to spoon Star. Star's eyes go wide when she feels him enveloping around her and his arm cradles her into him. The bare and intimate contact sends her hormones flying. Kurumu couldn't help but have similar feelings even though she only nestles against his back. Blade gritted his teeth to bear Kurumu's cold skin against his back. The cold was the only thing distracting him from her large breasts against his back.
'This is so embarrassing. I can't even look at him.' Star thinks to herself.
"Are you really okay, Kurumu?" He asks.
"My shoulder hurts because I got banged around a little, but I didn't really damage it any extra."
"I'm astonished that she didn't." Adds Star.
"I'm willing to take that chance if it means keeping Blade around. We've been really worried about you, Blade. You're important to us and we want to be able to keep you around."
He doesn't really say anything in response.
"You know . . . . we . . . . love you." Star says.
Kurumu blushes from being included in Star's endearing statement.
Blade gives Star a gentle squeeze for a hug.

2 weeks later.
After another close call by the rest of the team, Blade slams the bottom of his fists against the wall of his room.
"Damnit!" He shouts with gritted teeth.
A set of footsteps stops at his door. Blade looks over his shoulder and sees Ringo standing at his doorway. Ringo has a worn-out look. The battles without Blade have taken their toll on him and the rest of the team. His clothes have also seen their share of better days. Ringo could see and feel the anger coming from the man before him.
After letting out a sigh, Ringo opens his mouth to speak. He had a feeling of what the conversation was going to be about. Frankly, he just wanted to go to bed, but he decided to give Blade a little bit of his time.
"What's up, Blade. You look like you've got a burr in your saddle."
"This is driving me crazy. I can't take this anymore. I need to get out there and fight with you guys."
Ringo crosses his arms. 'I feel kind of bad for the guy. Hasn't he gone through enough? He's got to settle down long enough to get to the commander though.'
Blade turns to him and they look each other in the eye.
"You know as well as I do that you can't."
"You don't get it, Ringo! This is all I've got. All I know how to do is fight them at this point. I have to fight them and kill them."
"So, do you want to die in the process? If you go out there with us, you will probably die before we could even get to the commander to fix you up. Is that what you want to do? You want to die before you can even get your revenge on Darkon?"
Blade knew deep down that Ringo was right, and what he said really struck him hard. He couldn't respond to Ringo. All he could do is growl.
Ringo gets up close to Blade and grabs him by the collar of his vest.
"We're tired too, Blade. We've been fighting for your sake so that you can get better. We don't want you dying, especially Kurumu and Star. Now, we're about halfway there. All we've got to do is hold out until then. Got it?"
Nick glares at Ringo while contemplating on everything that he had just said to him. It starts to sink in and his entire body calms just enough.
"Yeah."
Ringo lets go of him. "Good. But, if you need me to punch you in the face and go for a round or two to remind ya, then let me know."
"Gee, thanks."
"Alright. I need some rest. See ya, bud."
"See you, Ringo."
With that, Ringo exits his room. Kurumu casually walks in a moment later while Nick was still pondering on what Ringo said to him. She also looks tired. She walks right over to his bed, flumps onto it, and pulls the covers over herself.
He puts his hands on his hips as he stares over at his bed. 'I suppose I can try. It's not easy. I got so used to fighting that it's like I don't know what to do when I'm not fighting. But her, Star, and everyone else is trying really hard for my sake. I really hope the commander can help me. If not, then we're all dead.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
About a week later.
An alarm goes off and Star groggily turns it off after being awoken from her slumber. Blade wakes up from the alarm as well. They were both sleeping in his bed. He lies on his back and Star gives him a quick kiss on the lips.
"It's a shame I can't stay like this a little longer. I enjoy waking up with you, but I've got to relieve Tina before she gets upset. How are you feeling, Nick?"
As she asks this, she gets out of the bed and starts changing in front of him.
"I still feel rather drained, but I haven't felt dizzy for a while now. I feel steadier, too." He tells her while taking in her every curve.
'Even if I am very cold towards everyone, I am still a man after all.'
"That's great. Keep resting, and don't overdo it. Okay?" Then she reminds herself about something Kurumu told her. 'Kurumu said we should rebuild his stamina by working him real good at night. There's no way I could, right? No, I can't mention that to him.' Then she blushes slightly and turns her head away from him.
"Yeah, yeah. You guys are annoying as hell about that." He replies to her voiced comment.
"We just want to see you better. Kurumu and I want to see you better. I want to spend my life together with you."
"I want to spend it with you, too." He voices to her nonchalantly.
She practically gives herself whiplash from how quickly she turns her head toward him. Her heart races with joy from hearing him say that.
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yes, Star, I do. We need to get through this mess with Darkon though. I need to get patched up and back out there fighting them." He squeezes a hand into a fist.
She comes over to him, sits down on the side of the bed next to him and looks down at him caringly. "I'm sure we will."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Another random day.
Nick finishes up a workout that he was doing in his room. After wiping some sweat from his face, he drapes the towel over is shoulder.
From his doorway, "If you want a workout, I could give you one. Lots of sex."
"Aren't you bold." He retorts back to Kurumu.
"Soooo?"
"No."
"How about in your dreams?" She asks with a glimmer more of hope.
"Can you actually do that?"
"Very much so."
"No. If I'm going to do it, then I'd actually want to do it."
"Does that mean you will then?"
"No." He replies stubbornly while crossing his arms and closing his eyes.
She frowns in disappointment, "That's no fun. Why not? We've already slept next to each other quite often with and without your other girlfriend."
"I don't know. Just because."
'Sounds like a virgin excuse to me. I can at least ell that his is attracted to me.' She muses to herself.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later on, Star and Kurumu were alone in the cockpit.
"Hey, Kurumu, You seem to be in a pretty good mood lately."
"You think so?"
"Definitely. Any particular reason why?"
The succubus reflects for a moment. "I suppose, if I had to put a finger on it, is happiness. Even though he is still very standoff-ish about showing his feelings, I feel like my feelings are being returned. I think you've seemed happier lately for the same reason. All this traveling and bonding together has really worked wonders for the three of us."
Star blushes slightly. "I have to admit, It is still sometimes have conflicting thoughts about the whole situation. I've gotten more and more used to it over time. I guess I have been happier with the way things have been, too. Nick seems a lot more calm as well, but don't let it fool you. He still has a lot of things weighing on his mind."
"We just need to keep supporting him."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Finally arriving at their destination, O'Rourke and Maggie are in the cockpit of the land vehicle.
"Sergeant O'Rourke, are you sure you can locate the base?"
"Nothin' ta worry about. Trust me."
"Well, if I wasn't worried before, I sure am now." She says worriedly while looking all over the place.
He puts his hand at the top of her chair and leans over it to look at her.
"You don't doubt me now?" Then he looks out the window. "See, look there. Straight ahead."
She leans forward a little and puts her hands at the sides of her face to narrow her view. A surprised look comes on her face.
In the distance is a bunker that is disguised as a plateau. The bunker has a large amount of snow atop it.
"Ohhhhh. I never would have seen it if I didn't know where to look."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After a couple more minutes of driving, the Green Earth arrives at its destination and the door to the bunker (that's 5x as wide as the land cruiser itself) opens to let the vehicle in. They drive into a large hangar bay. Mac and Commander Jamison are waiting for them.
Jamison is standing there with his usual stoic look on his face. He has short grey hair and he is also wearing a green tunic top.
Mac, whom is noticeably shorter than the commander and is the chief mechanic, has on a tan work shirt with dark green pants that are reinforced at the knees.
The first of the crew to exit the vehicle is Maggie. She instantly spots Mac and rushes over to him. "Well, it's about time. I missed you." She then practically jumps onto him and gives him a hug.
"I missed ya too, lassy." He replies back. Then he asks, "How's Blade?"
"I've been better."
Ringo comes from behind Blade. "Yeah, sure. This is coming from the guy that gets to sleep next to two beautiful women all the time."
"You're just saying that because you're jealous." Kurumu says playfully.
"Now is not the time for that." Star adds with her nose in the air and a blush on her cheeks.
"I couldn't agree more." Tina also adds.
Jamison interrupts the little dispute. "I see there is someone here that I'm not quite familiar with. May I ask your name? I am Commander Jamison."
The blue-haired succubus points at herself sheepishly. "I guess that's me, huh? I'm Kurumu Kusono. I met Nick while he was wandering around on his own."
"The lass has been quite the help against those spider-crabs." O'Rourke chimes in.
"That sounds fascinating. I would love to hear more about that inside."
Blade steps up to the commander. "I want to know if you can help whatever is going on with me and get me back out there." He says this as sternly as ever.
Jamison keeps calm while replying to Blade. "Calm down, Blade. We need to run some tests in our med lab first. We already have our medical staff on standby."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After three days of being at the base.
Star was in Kurumu's room. The room was a bit larger than the ones they has inside of the Green Earth. They were both sitting on the bed.
"How was your talk with the commander earlier?" Asks Star.
A sigh come from Kurumu. "It was a little bit grueling. I almost feel like I was being interrogated."
Star giggles a little. "He comes off that way. He is a bit of an intimidating man. But he is also very analytical and methodical."
"He tried very hard to see if I could give up some blood for him to analyze."
"How did you respond?"
"I told him no and that Nick told me to tell him not to dissect me or anything like that. He is really paranoid about things like that."
"Nick sure is. I can't blame him though."
"Jamison was a little hesitant at first, but it seemed he did believe my story."
"If it wasn't for your abilities, then he probably wouldn't have believed a single word you said without any other evidence."
"I tried asking him about Nick, but he was tight-lipped about it."
"Yeah, he has with me, too."
"Well, at least our lips aren't that tight towards Nick."
It takes a few moments, but it finally dawns on Star, what the succubus meant and she blushes. Then she smacks Kurumu with one her pillows.
"You had to break up our talk with that?"
"Oh, come on. You know you wanna boink him."
Just as star was about to reply, there is a knock on the door.
"It's him. I can feel it." She says to Star. Then she looks at the door. "Who is it?"
"It's me." Comes Blade's voice from the other side.
Star's jaw drops. 'Did she actually feel him or was that a lucky guess?'
Kurumu jumps up and presses a button to open the door. The door slides open and Blade is standing there with damp hair and has his usual grumpy face.
"Could you at least try to have a happier face when you see the both of us." Kurumu says to him in disappointment.
"Is something the matter? Did you hear back from the tests yet?" Star questions.
"No, but I want your help investigating something."
"Investigating what?" Asks Kurumu.
"I've had a weird feeling in my gut ever since we got here."
"You, too? I've had a weird feeling as well. I thought it was just me." Adds the succubus.
"You think you can really track down the source of it?"
"Definitely."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Their trek, leads them down a couple levels and down some long, dark hallways. They end up at a door that Star uses a code to get in. As they go in, they could tell it was some kind of lab. There were tubes of what looked like baby spider-crabs and various organs from those creatures as well.
None of them noticed a tiny red light along the floor that starts blinking.
They open another door and inside is a giant window that looks into another lab. Inside the other lab is what looks like a giant plant that has a red crystal where the flower would be and what looks to be a slightly armored man inside.
"What the hell!" Blade shouts in shock.
Star and Kurumu have similar surprised faces. Kurumu covers her mouth.
The main door to the lab opens again and Jamison, Balzac, Ringo and Tina are all standing there.
"You know you're not supposed to be here." Commander Jamison says.
Blade turns back to the commander while pointing at the plant. "What are you doing here, Commander?"
Tina gasps when she sees the plant. Ringo and Balzac look to Jamison.
"I think you've got some explaining to do, Commander." Says Ringo, in a serious tone.
"We needed to know more about the spore plants. We believe this one is just about to flower. That man in there is the man who found it."
"Is he dead?" Ringo asks.
"No, but he isn't showing any signs of brain activity."
"I doubt our equipment could get through the teknopod's shielding. It's almost impenetrable." Then a thought comes to his head. "Is there any chance we could use this to make me a complete Teknoman? Damn, but I'm not sure how that would affect the man inside."
"You don't mean that, do you, Nick?"
"Yes. Yes I do. Maybe it could help me with the situation I'm in."
"Even if we could, we don't know what the outcome could be. Theoretically it should be able to make you a complete Teknoman, or something even more." Jamison responds.
Kurumu gets a worried look on her face the more she looks at the pod.
"More?" Questions Star.
"Possibly a Teknoman plus. But we aren't sure. There could be other risks involved. You might not even make it through the process."
"What are you talking about? Blade goes through changes all the time. It would probably be just another walk in the park for him." Says Balzac.
"Have you forgotten you entire trip here? I hate to say this in this setting, but your next transformation could be your last. If you don't transform again, then you'll be fine. Each time you transform your cells will slowly disintegrate and eventually, you'll die. The energies utilized for the transformation process create a systemic imbalance. This process is accumulative, and that's why you haven't really noticed it until more recently."
"I can't transform?"
"No, Blade, You can't."
"I don't want to believe you, I'm feeling better that I was a month ago."
"What you want to believe and what is reality are completely different. You will die."
"You got any other good news you wanna tell us Commander?" Ringo says in a rather mean tone.
"You want him alive, or dead?"Replies the Commander.
"You've got ice water in your veins." Retorts the pilot.
"Is there a chance?" Blade asks again.
"We believe there is a 50/50 chance."
Ringo frits his teeth. "I can't believe this. You're playing him like a violin. You know exactly what you're doing. You know he's going to take this chance."
Maggie jumps in. "Stop it, Ringo. You've got him wrong. He ordered the transformation circuit removed from Pegas so that Blade couldn't transform."
Ringo gets a surprised look on his face."What?"
"Listen Ringo, I'm responsible those that are under my command. Although casualties are sometimes unavoidable. Ringo, if you think for one moment that I would persuade thos boy to do something that would ultimately destroy him, then you don't know me very well at all."
With that, the Commander calmly leaves the room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later on.
Blade was about to exit his room and go to the Cammander with his decision, but the door opens and Star is standing there. She is visibly upset and looks like she is about to break down in tears.
"Star?"
"Nick. I have something to say. I need you to hear it. . . . Choose life. Don't do this. Haven't you done enough? Haven't you lost enough? Didn't you say you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me? What about Kurumu? I don't know where she's been, but didn't you think to discuss this with us?"
"I had to think about this on my own. Of course I want to spend my life with the two of you, but we need to protect the world. If I die protecting the people I love and for this planet, then that's fine as long as if I take Darkon down with me. You know I'm the only one that can do it."
Footsteps come from down the hall.
"Always discuss things with your girlfriends first. You are not alone and we are a team, aren't we?"
"Kurumu? Where have you been?"
As the succubus comes closer, it becomes clear that she has also been having a rough time with the situation. She looks rather tired herself.
"I have been thinking if there was anything that I could do to help. I have come up with an alternative, but you might not like it either."
"It has to be better than this, right?" Star practically pleads.
"What did you come up with, Kurumu?"
She crosses her arms and looks a little hesitant at first, but then she speaks up.
"I'm a monster, and I have a bad feeling about that thing. That says a lot, doesn't it. I remembered something that I had heard long ago. If I have sex with a man (or woman for that matter, but that's a different story) and drain him without the intent of killing him, then there's a chance I could change him into something different. I would have to bring to the brink of near death though."
Star instantly starts to get angry.
"What do you mean by 'something more'?" Blade questions.
"Beings like me gain abilities that normal humans don't have. You could end up becoming an incubus. I've even heard of a tale where people have become a vampire. The boost in healing ability might keep you from dying."
Star grabs her by the arm and pulls her a handful of feet away from Blade. Then, she smacks her across the face.
"What the hell are you going on about? You just want to have sex with him, isn't it?"
Kurumu smacks her back. "That is not the only reason. I mean, of course I want to have sex with him, but that isn't the reason why I brought this up. Besides, I was going to invite you to the initial part of it, too."
"What!?" Comes out of Blade and Star.
"Look. I want him alive just as much as you do. If he dies, then that could mean I die, too. I'm just giving an option here. You saw how quickly I healed from my wounds. Maybe this could stop his cells from breaking down on him."
"Couldn't he die from this?"
Kurumu looks down for a moment. "There is a chance he could die, but there is also a chance that nothing could happen. Please, Nick, think about this as an alternative. If this doesn't work, then you could go back to the other option."
Frustrated and angry, Star shouts before her mind catches up. "Are you trying to make him a m-." She stops herself just before finishing.
Kurumu frowns. "After all this time I thought you would know better that to say that. You were going to say monster, weren't you? In case you haven't figured it out, he is a monster. Do you know anyone else that can just grab a crystal and transform into an armored person that can survive in space? It's not a bad thing. It's how you use your abilities that actually make you into something evil."
Star retreats inwardly and gets a little sheepish and embarrassed over what she did. "I'm sorry, Kurumu. I just . . . don't know what to do about this."
The frustrated woman finally breaks down and starts crying. She buries her face into her hands. Kurumu walks over and cradles her. Star cries into her shoulder.
"Nick, what are you going to do?" Kurumu asks.
Nick crosses his arms and thinks for a moment, then he looks back up at them.
"I can't just sit back and watch you guys do this without me. I have to do something. If I am going to have to take a chance, then I will try your option first. I'm putting my trust in you."
"Star. You're a part of this, too. We're going to need your help with this. . . . after your participation." Then she winks at Star (whom blushes fiercely while trying to wipe away her tears).
