MiDNiGHT:
Chapter 1¤The First of the Seven: Midnight Wolf¤

Disclaimer: Nope, I dun own Outlaw Star (I don't even know that much ABOUT the show). Dun own S Club 7 eitha. Neva will. I only own Niyako Yukoshi Miccha, my "character". Okie, enough ramblin, here's the story!!!!
It's been seven years since the Outlaw Star had launched and found the Leyline. The Outalaw Star is still operating, and still on a journey for whatever may come. Jim Hawking, now at age 18, now realizes that he is quite lonely. Gene Starwind, now age 27, sees his little friend's lonliness and wants to help. Aisha Clanclan, a Ctarlctarl whose age is unknown to this day, couldn't care less about Jim's lonliness, and Suzuka, whose full name is classified, isn't the least bit concerned. Melfina, like Gene, is worried about Jim (Note from Gene: I am NOT worried!!!) and does her best to help.
Little does this crew know, a new enemy is approaching. It seems that the seven foes that had troubled the Outlaw Star before are reborn into unsuspecting humans, androids, and other living beings alike after a period of seven years. They now call themselves "MiDNiGHT", and this name seems appropriate, since they only strike on or near midnight. This may trouble the Outlaw Star and its crew, for Jim, especially. What will happen to Jim, and will MiDNiGHT prove to be a powerful enemy? Read on to find out....
*In the Outlaw Star*
"Gene, we seriously need another crew member! One who can sell us weapons for free or something cheap...but good...and, uh...." Jim Hawking complained, but was interrupted by Gene.
"Good-looking? Jim, stop trying to get shortcuts for a girl!" Gene said with a snicker.
"Sh-shut up, Gene! What I'm SAYING is that we need a weapons and repair expert, other than me! Y'know, I do all the work around here!!!" Jim said, annoyed.
"Whatever. But yea, I guess we are short a crew member. It would be nice to see another girl...but y'see, the only space in the Outlaw Star is...wow, next to Jim!" Gene said in a sing-song voice, obviously trying not to laugh.
Jim's eyes narrowed at Gene when Melfina came in. "Hi, you guys. A girl of about seventeen knows as much as you do about grappler ships, Jim. She wants to know if you need another crew member. Should I put her on hold, or...?" Melfina said.
*MiDNiGHT Space HQ, hours before the job request*
A shadowy figure could be seen staring hard at a seventeen-year-old girl named Niyako Yukoshi Miccha. Her voice rose high as she spoke. This shadow's real name is classified and is only known by the name Vae.
"Niyako. You are known as the Midnight Wolf in MiDNiGHT. Your mission is difficult, but benefits. This is your last test, Niyako Miccha. We know your weak points, and this especially; do NOT get too friendly with your enemy or opponent. If you do and choose to stay with the crew we assign you, we shall seek and destroy you. For the sake of MiDNiGHT, you must pass this test in order to recieve your place in this corporation. Understood?"
"Yes, Lady Vae. I understand. Er...what is the mission, exactly?" Niyako asked warily.
"This is your mission. The first step is to join the Outlaw Star crew ---"
"Outlaw Star? You mean that grappler ship piloted by Gene Starwind?"
"YES, Niyako. Don't interrupt, please. Anyway, since you specialize in grappler ships and almost any weapon, you will take up the weapons and repair expert job."
"How did you know a job was open...?"
"Never mind that!! Now, that boy, Jim Hawking, has something I want."
"...what is it...?"
"His soul."
"W-what?! How am I supposed to get his soul?!"
"You have the power of seduction. Lure him here, or wherever I am. I will take his soul then."
"What do you need his soul for, Lady Vae?"
"There is a hidden power in it that can destroy me and all of MiDNiGHT. Now, no more questions! Go!"
"Yes, Lady Vae."
And with that final word, Niyako Miccha fades to the outside of the Outlaw Star.
*Back In the Outlaw Star, Present*
"Um, Mel? Ask her to meet me...I mean, us...at the next place we dock. That's...where?" Jim asked.
"Hmm...let's see, we're nearing the Grave of the Dragon again. Should we land there?" Mel replied.
Gene butted in on the conversation, wanting only Jim to go. "Jim, YOU should just go. After all, this could be a test for both you and the lady; if she's a weapons expert, she could brave that place as I could!"
"And chicken out like you did..." Jim mumbled under his breath.
"Good idea! At night, there's nothing dangerous, and there's a cliff that looks over a sea that's really romantic...." Melfina said dreamily. Jim gaped at this comment.
"Ugh, fine. I'll go alone. (Why do I always do the dirty work?)" Jim said, defeated.
Mel went back to the phone and told the caller to head to the Grave of the Dragon, out on a cliff neat the grave. After the caller agreed, Mel hung up and went to her quarters, Gene trailing her. Jim went outside and put on a grave face; the first time he had done this, he hated it. This time probably won't matter at all. "Why me? I think I'm getting too old for this!!!" Jim said to no one in particular.
*Two hours later*
"Finally....made it...cliff..." Jim gasped as he reached the location. But he stopped gasping for breath the second he saw the girl. Her voice sang a soft song that calmed Jim. He caught some of the lyrics:
"I Never had a dream come true,
'Til the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say..."
He couldn't hear any more. The girl was sitting at the edge of the cliff, singing. ::Her voice is beautiful...:: Jim thought. The girl's long, flowing midnight-blue hair blew elegantly in the wind, the bangs (which were dyed aquamarine) flowing smoothly against the rest of her hair as if it was glass. As if she heard Jim silently breathe in amazement to her beauty, she turned her head slightly toward him. As she revealed her face, Jim could only gasp again. Her face had been as beautiful as he had expected it to be...so elegant and perfect that Jim could nearly stand it. The girl's watery blue eyes seemed to twinkle with the sea; her mouth was curved into a gasp of surprise. She stopped singing and stood up and walked over to Jim. "Oh...hello. You must be Jim. My name is Niyako Miccha. Pleased to meet you!" Niyako said pleasantly.
"H-hey, Niyako! Um, uh...you have a really nice voice..." Jim said, not knowing what to say. ::DAMN!!:: The inner voice in Jim's head cursed him violently, saying he was stupid and that he was starting to blush. Jim was surprised at the voice and looked down at the girl and saw her looking up at him.
"Oh, um, thanks...umm...shall we go to the Outlaw Star now?" Niyako asked timidly.
"Oh...oh, yeah! Uh, it's that way...or...is it...that way?" Jim asked, blushing. ::How the hell could I forget this?!::
"I believe that it's this way, Little Jim." a voice said in the shadows.
The two teenagers turned their heads suddenly, wondering who the voice was. "Gene?! Is that you?! If it is, remind me to kill you when we get back!!!" Jim shouted.
The figure strode out of the shadow. And it wasn't Gene. This figure was a tall and powerful-looking. As the figure showed itself, it proved to be a man. Not Gene. Not Harry or Ron. One that no one knew. And this stranger lunged at Niyako and got her into a chokehold. "Niyako!!!" Jim shouted in hesistation.
But Niyako proved to be a good weapons handler.Though the stranger sustained her head and the top part of her arms, her legs and hands were still free. She set her foot to kick something out of her other. It turned out to be a small blaster with a blade at the end. She took the blade/blaster (bladester?) and stuck it into the man's leg and shot it. The man screamed in pain and loosened his grip on Niyako, which was a bad idea. The man, now screaming in pain and aiding his leg, did not notice that Niyako took out a caster and loaded a #3 into it. "This...is...for...even trying...to take advantage of Niyako Yukoshi Miccha!!!!" Niyako screamed, firing the caster shell.
The man died right then and there. Jim stared on in fright and amazement. Niyako was breathing hard, catching her breath. "Tsukoshi Madayama. Convicted homicide. Murderer of fifteen innocent children. Likes to kill small and teenage girls. Now no one has to worry about him." Niyako said.
The trip back to the Outlaw Star was nearly uneventful. Nearly. If Niyako hadn't noticed Jim blushing so much, she wouldn't have asked. And it would be your usual hard trip back. But, of course, she noticed. "Jim." Niyako said.
"Huh? Eh? Um...yea...?" Jim said, still blushing. (Jim is blushing nearly until the end of this chapter, by the way.)
"Not to be rude or anything, but I'm noticing that ever since I saw you, you've been blushing. Either that, or you're turning red, you have a fever, malaria, or some kind of other disease!!!" Niyako said. She glanced at Jim and saw that he was blushing still, his cheeks crimson. "Like now. Your cheeks are so red that it looks like you're gonna explode!"
Jim couldn't (and wouldn't) respond. Instead, he and Niyako just walked on, leaving Niyako annoyed and concerned.

Soooo...that was...it. For the first chapter...? Yes. Kind of boring, I know. Not enough info on "Midnight Wolf". I'm such an idiot. Ah well. Sorry. Please don't flame me...I don't play with fire. I play with water. Hey, here's a deal: If you don't flame me, I'll never flame any of ya'll! Howz that? (Good, I hope) Okie, oyasumi nasai minna!!
