Destiny: Part 3
Disclaimer: I don't own Outlaw Star, I envy those who do!
Author's Notes: GOMEN NASAI! I so sorry I haven't posted for so long, but I have four good reasons.
1) I have got only 7 reviews for the last chapter, I got 14 for the first one, that's sorta of an insult, isn't it, so, I won't post the Part 4 until I get at least 15-20 reviews.
I'd like to thank the following people for reviewing part 2:
Jade S,
Moondreamer (By the way, good idea, I might make some Jim angst later on, but for now, I'll try to put some in little by little in every part, I thank you for your idea, and I hope you give me another one in your next review)
, Midnight Lilly, Kachie-san, nicky~*~, marril70, and Zecks.
2) I have been so swamped with homework, reports and thesis, that I haven't been able to write for a really long while now, so I apologize, but don't blame me, blame my teachers.
3) For the last two weeks, I've been sitting in front of the T.V. and writing down terms used in OS because I wanted to be authentic, and its taken me a long time for toonami to get to the episodes I want to watch, so its been a long, tedious process.
4) Lastly, when I thought up this story, I started with an end, gave it a beginning, and still don't know what to do with the middle, I've got a vague idea of what to do, but its hard to get a good story idea, fortunately, I got inspiration about an hour ago, but only for this chapter, so, if you have any, I repeat, ANY ideas, please, tell me, writing is not as easy as it looks, all, again, I repeat, all ideas will be put into consideration!
Anyway, I've been rambling for wayyy too long, so, without further aduei, here's the third part of Destiny:
~ Morning
Melfina slowly got up out of her bed, fresh and ready for the day ahead. She slowly slipped into a bathrobe and made her way into the kitchen, but when she got there, she found none-other than
"GENE!" yelled Melfina in surprise, only Sazuka ussually got up this early.
"UUHHHH" Gene seemed to finally awaken from his slumber. He was sitting at the kitchen table sorrounded by empty cups.
"I...I'm sorry I woke you up, it's just that you never get up this early, Gene...GENE? What's wrong? You seem troubled!" Melfina asked with a worried expression on her face.
"Melfina...I...I..." Gene stuttered.
'Damn it! I had a whole little speech made just for her and I choke at the last minute!' Thought Gene as he mentally kicked himself.
"GENE, WHAT'S WRONG?" Something was really wrong, Melfina knew full well that Gene NEVER stuttered, he was too confident in everything he said and did to do so, he had dark bags under his eyes, he didn't look like he'd been sleeping for a long time!
"Nothin', it's just that...that I've been up all night!" Gene answered quickly
"How come?" Asked Melfina affectionately, while putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I couldn't sleep, I found this box from Horus a couple of hours ago, and..." Gene began
"Horus...Oh, I'm sorry Gene I didn't mean to interu..." Melfina blurted out with her hand over her mouth
"NO...no, its okay, because...um...because...the box...I uhh...ya see...I kinda hacked into it and um...a younger Hilda turned up and she was holding a baby and than she said something about you being the baby and then I turned it off because I kinda got scared and didn't know what to do because I didn't know how'd you react so I couldn't sleep so I tried some of Sazuka's tea to sleep but I drank too much and now I've got a headacke. Ahhhhh!" Gene blurted it all out as fast as he could which was quickly followed by a big intake of breath.
"I'm...I'm...I'm Hilda's..." This seemed too much for Melfina, even though Gene spilled his guts pretty fast, she got the jist of what he said, and that was certainly shocking.
"You have to see it for yourself Mel, but you don't if you don't want to!" Said Gene with a strange seriousness in his voice.
"No, I want to see it, please Gene..." Said an unsure Melfina
"Sure thing Mel, I'll bring it in a sec, mean while, could you make me some breakfast, I'm starving." Said Gene, with a huge grin back on his face.
"Hahahahahaaha(Does anybody know a good Giggle word, please tell me), of course Gene, what would you like?" Too late of course, did Melfina realized how stupid a question that was for Gene.
"UMMM...not much, just some cereal, milk, omlet sandwitch, toast, orange juice, bacon, eggs, milk, and a big fat wet one...mmmmmmmmmmmmhhhmm, see ya in a sec" Said Gene after giving a very long kiss to an unsuspecting and now very crimson Melfina.
"Umm, alright!" Said Melfina as she began taking out the proper ingredients for Gene's unquechable hunger.
'Where is Gene, he said he's was going to come back in a moment, but I haven't seen him for over ten minutes, and I keep hearing these pained grunts, it's not like me to be impatient, but, this box, it may hold the key to finding out my past, I'll just wait for Gene, I trust him not to lie!' Thought Melfina, mentally reasuring herself.
GUUUUUGH
"What is that sound, it's not the engine, GENE, Is that you?" Asked Melfina.
"Umm, yeah, it was, umm, heh heh!" Said Gene, coming into the kitchen once more carrying a small laptop and a black box.
"What were those sounds your making?" Asked a very curious Melfina
"I was umm...Lets just say that drinking too much tea isn't good for ya!" Said the grinning captain.
"Allright, here's your sandwitch and cereal" Said Melfina setting down some plates.
"Thanks Mel, hey, where's Sazuka, isn't she up by now?" Asked Gene before beginning to stuff his face.
"Oh, she drank a bit too much Sake (Japanese Rice Wine) at Jim's Birthday Party and went to sleep early, I don't think she was feeling so good" Said Melfina, remembering a very green faced Suzuka.
"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAA! She should stick to her tea, but I don't think that's very good for her stomache either" Said the amused captain.
"Right, um, Gene..." Began a nervious Melfina.
Gene, of course, noticed what she was getting to, and promptly stopped eating.
"Okay, that was great, now let's get right down to business!" Said Gene, putting his dishes in the dishwasher and placing the infamous black box on the kitchen table.
Melfina was visibly nervous of what was to come, but Gene knew she was eager.
"Okay, here we go!" Said Gene hooking up the laptop to the black box. After a few tense minutes, Gene finally broke the now familiar code.
"AAANNND I'm in" Said Gene. Melfina had a very surprised and intrigued look on her face.
"Wow, I didn't know you could do that Gene!" Said Melfina.
"HUH" Said Gene, dazed by the compliment
"What? You ever doubted my talents, how dare you!" Said Gene, putting on a mock insulted look!
Melfina only smiled.
"Okay, I'm starting the first recording, its from 18 years ago, but its definatelly Hilda, no doubt about it. Here, I started it."
Hilda's familiar younger face came on, she was tired and sweaty and had a bundle of light pink sheets in her hand.
"This is my daughter, Melfina" Said the younger Hilda.
"Gasp...Its...its really her, could I really be..." Said the shocked Melfina
"I had to see it twice to believe it, but its her alright, and that baby looks just like you, you were so cute." Said Gene with a grin while doing "Couchie Coo" at the screen, where, as if on cue, a small head popped out of the sheets and it opened its eyes, it had black hair and big brown eyes, identicle to Melfina's.
"She's so beautiful, she's got your eyes ya know" Said the teenage Hilda to the Camera gently holding a baby Melfina.
"Who's holding the Camera?" Asked Melfina curiously.
"Don't know, I just watched until this part!" said Gene
"Let me get a picture of you two, handsome!" Said the younger Hilda, as the Camera holder put down the Camera and took the baby into his arms, unfortunetly, only his arms were seen.
"Sit on that chair, I'll take the picture." Said the visible young Hilda, who was seen now from a lower angle now that the Camera was placed on some kind of Cabinet, only Hilda holding a photocamera was seen.
"Now smile!" Said young Hilda. Seconds later she took the Photo.
"Here, I want to hold her!" Said Hilda, handing the Photocamera back to the unknown man and picking up baby Melfina.
"Sit, we Need to talk" said young Hilda, now taking up the serious demeanor the older Hilda almost always had.
"Gwen Khan?" Said a deep voice, the unknown person must have sat because a scraping was heard than a soft sigh, but the man was still unsean and unknown.
"Yes, I don't trust him, why did he repair Horus, or give us this room, and I heard him talking about some kind of Leyline. He's kept us here under his 'Hospitality'" Hilda said Sarcasticly
"For over three months now, and he's been giving me these "Nutrient" injections since we came, I don't know, but I wouldn't bet a wong that those are nutrients. Melfina doesn't seem to be affected, however, but I still think we should leave as soon as possible. Those damn Toa guys won't let us leave, We couldn't fight because I was pregnant, but now I'm better. We have to leave now, I don't like how Khan's eyeing Melfina, I just...I just...think he's going to do something to her and I can't let that happen!" At that point young Hilda burst into full fledged tears.
"Hilda, please don't cry, I'll never let those bastards do anything to you, or my daughter, I swear it as long as I live and after!" Said the deep voiced father.
"I'm sorry, it's...its these damn hormones, I'll be like this for days. Oohhh"Said the miserable Hilda.
Suddently, there came slight static in the picture.
"Hey, what the hell is going on, what's happening?" Gene Yelled as he banged the Laptop screen to get a better picture.
"Gene, relax, its just interference within the recording." Reassured Melfina
The picture started clearer but then came a big
BOOOOOMMM!
There was smoke andd fire everywhere, then the smoke started clearing, Gene and Melfina saw the consequences of the blast.
Hilda was holding a crying Melfina in her right arm, on the left side of the bed, the wall was completely blown away, some of the bed was also blown away, as well as Hilda's entire left arm. Laughter could be heard in the background. A bloody body could be seen somewhere under the rouble.
The smoke cleared to reveal Gwen Khan, several Toa warriors, and two women. Both were laughing, One seemed older, she had black curly hair and light orange eyes, she was dressed in leather and had a small little boy idneticle to her by her side. The other woman seemed smaller, but had an even crueler laugh, she had pale skin and seafoam green hair, she was holding a one year old boy in one hand and a detonator in the other. She also had peircing light purple eyes, which were now narrowed in tiny slits.
The black haired woman turned to the boy and barked
"Go on, say hi to your little sister, son!" The tiny boy got a cruel smile on his face and mad his way through the rouble to get to the bleeding Hilda and baby Melfina.
"Get away from her you evil bitches, I'll kill you boy!" A deep voice yelled from under the rouble. The camera was now on the floor, so it only showed parts of Hilda holding Melfina, and mostly the exploded entrance.
"Awww, how could you say that to your own son?" Said the seafoamed haired woman.
"Go to hell you, Hilda, Hilda?" Something was seen stumbling through the corner.
"Well, it seems that daddy doesn't like you, son, kill him for mommy!"
Bang. A distinct gunshot was heard, than a fall"
"Noooo, L..." Click
The recording was shut off by Gene before Hilda could finish
"Gene?" came a voice behind Gene and Melfina, Gene immediately shut the program and shut off the computer.
"Gene? What in the hell are you doing up so early" The owner of the voice stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself to be Jim, who was dressed in boxers and a gray tanktop, his ussual sleeping apparel.
"Well?" Asked the young technician again.
"Nothin' Jim, just nothin'" Gene knew by the look on Melfina's face that she didn't want the others to be told of there new discovery just yet.
"Gene, I know your lying, you might as well just tell m...Melfina, what's wrong?" Jim asked compassionately.
Melfina had a tearful expression on her face.
"Its alright Jim, I'm just...I'm just a little tierd." Exclaimed Melfina, and then fell onto Gene and began softly crying on his shoulder. Jim made a movement to also comfort her, but Gene mouthed
"Not now" To Jim, who obediantly listened. If Jim knew anything about Gene, he knew that Gene was ussually always right about women, hard as it may be to admit for Jim.
So, Jim, went to pour himself some hot coffee. When he got back, Melfina had regained her composure.
"So..." Jim knew better than ask about what happened a few minutes ago.
"What's that big black box" Jim asked Gene
"The black box from Horus" Gene answered simply!
"What (O.O)...AAAHAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOWOWOWOWOOOOOOOWWWWWWWOWOOWWWWW!" It seemed that in Jims surprise of the news accidently poured his hot steaming coffee on his...crotch. (MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA, I'm so cruel to Jim)
"MWAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAA." Gene had burst into giggles, as had Melfina at Jim's wreathing form.
"Hahhahah...Oh, I'm so sorry Jim, let me get you some ice" Said a sorry Melfina, quickly ran to the fridge.
"HO...HO...HOOOOOOTTT!" Screamed an unhappy Jim.
"HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA. Nice Job, butter fingers. HAHAHAHAHAA!" Yelled Gene.
"SHUT UP" Came Jims voice from under the table. Jim had finally gotten up, but was standing in an unussual position. When Gene saw him, he "MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. You wet your pants little boy! Mwahahahahahaa!" Screamed Gene as he laughed and pointed to the light brown stain in the crotch are of Jims boxers.
"I'M...NOT...A...LITTLE...BO...OH, HI AISHA" Said Jim quickly, forgetting all his woes at the site of Aisha, dressed in nothing more than a tiny nightgown.
"What a bunch of Guri Guri (I heard Aisha say that line in the second episode of OS) is this? I have been woken up early for the second day in a row, a young and beautiful Ctarl Ctarl such as myself deserves her beauty rest, whoever dared wake me up will suffer cosequences that can only be impailed by a great Ctarl Ctarl." Screamed a grumpy Aisha.
Gene quickly noticed that Jim was staring at Aisha, and that he was extremely red and had the slightest trickle of blood coming out of his nose. (You guys wanna know why this happens, go to tuxedomask.com, scroll all the way down and click on anime rules, read it, enjoy it, and die laughing)
"Hey Jim, hoping to burn a hole in Aisha's nightgown, huh. I don't think that she'll go out with somebody who wets their pants. OHHH, now I see what your staring at, Hey Jim..." Said Gene, extra loudly to get everyones attention.
"How come you're staring at Aisha's bre...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Jim, who realized what Gene was about to say, poured an entire steaming cup of coffee that was sitting on the counter on Gene's crotch.
"Here you go Jim!" Said Melfina quickly, downing a whole bag of ice down the front of Jim's boxers.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"Oh, Gene, you should be more careful" Said Melfina.
"What's going on, why is everyone awake?" Came the unussually loud and furious voice of Suzuka.
"Oh, nothing!" Squealed Aisha.
"Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking," Boomed Suzuka
"Why must you two always act like children, I need some sleep around here, Is that too much to ask?" Screamed Suzuka.
"What's with her?" Asked a bewildered Jim.
"UHH..." came from under the table.
"PMS" the voice continued.
"What did you say Gene Starwind?"
"Nothin'" quickly said Gene, afraid for his life of a Suzuka with PMS with a hangover.
Suddently, Aisha's droopy ears perked up.
"Everybody, SHUT UP!" Screamed Aisha.
"What?" Yelled the OS captain
"Ships are coming, big ones, they're gonna attack!" Screamed Aisha.
"Uh Oh" Went Jim.
"Everyone, lets go!" Said Gene with an air of authority. Even though he was off the floor, he was still standing in the same way Jim was moments ago.
`Good Morning everybody` came the voice of Gillium.
`Gene, What's wrong?`
"We're going to be under attack according to Aisha." Yelled Gene while getting into the pilots chair and straightening his gloves.
"Okay, Melfina, you all set?" Asked Gene over his shoulder
"Yes, connected!" Said Melfina from inside her chamber.
"Good, Jim, Suzuka, Aisha?"
"Roger" Said Jim
"Ready" Said Suzuka, who, once again, has regained her cool.
"GRRRR, they will pay for keeping me out of bed!" Growled Aisha.
" Missles coming in from 8 O'clock high!" Exclaimed Melfina.
The OS made a sharp upward turn to the right, missing the missles by an inch.
"Ha, they aren't so good!" Said the grinning captain.
"More missles from 3 O'clock low" Said Melfina.
The OS quickly made a downward twirl to the left, missing the missles just to meet another pair.
"These things are everywhere, Gillium, how many ships are there?" Asked Gene.
`So far I have detected 7 ships` Came the voice of Gillium.
"SEVEN, HOLY SHIT, we're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna die!" Chanted Jim.
"No we're not, fire a barrage of class-3 missles at them all, then lets get out of here" Screamed Gene.
"Roger that, firing missiles" Said Jim, regaining his composure.
The missiles went toward the ships, but just as they impacted, they exploded as...fireworks.
"What the hell was that Guri Guri" Screamed Aisha in frustration.
"UUHHH, Gene, I told you not to buy Missles from that guy in the Toward Stars Inn, I told you he looked weird, but noooo, 'You worry too much' you said 'He's fine' you said. I told you to go to Fred, but noooo, 'We're in too much debt' you say, a great time to realize that Gene." Screamed Jim.
"Well, How the hell was I supposed to know." Retorted Gene.
"Welll, you could've acctually checked them you big, irresponcible BAKA" Screamed Jim.
"Gillium, show all the ships." Said the OS captain.
`Yes Gene` 7 Windows instantly popped up showing all the attackings ships.
"Its not so bad, mostly cruisers" Excaimed Gene.
"Wait a Minute, recognize that ship" Said Jim, pointing at one of the windows.
"Which one?" Asked the Captain
"That one, the main one, it look just like the ship that...that...oh no!" Said Jim Quickly paling.
"What?" Asked a biwildered Gene.
"The Lead ship is hailing us" Exclaimed Melfina from inside her navagation tube.
"Alright, put him through"
A large window popped up on the main screen, on it was a cross between a blue ostrich and a lizard.
"Its that Sylgreen we me on Heiphon" Said Jim
"It is, how can you tell? They all look the same" Asked Gene.
"Is this the Outlaw Star" Barked the Sylgreen
"Yeah, who's asking?" Said Gene arragontly.
"You don't remember me do you? Huh, do you. You, yes you, little blond twit and that girl, you ruined my life, you left me on that godamn planet after destroying my plant and bug. Do you know what the fine is for not requesting a lease on forign plants and animals on Heiphon? Huh, do ya?" Screamed the apprehensive Sylgreen.
"UMM, no, why? Should we care? Its your own fault that you didn't apply, don't come crying to us about it!" Said Gene
"It was 6,000,000 wong, I was broke, I was kept in prison like a common criminal for six weeks. Do you know what it is like to be a Sylgreen in Prison? You don't, it was hell, it drove me insane. I was so happy that there was a bounty out for you, I was going to go after you anyway, but now I'll get paid for it. Oh, I won't destroy you, I'll shoot the stuffing out of you and then drag you back to the people who posted the bounty. I'll get you, I'll get you good!"
Barked the enraged Sylgreen.
Click, the transmission ended.
"There is still a bounty after us, but how can that be?" Said the confused Gene
"Gene, We're in big trouble, the Sylgreen are one of the most peaceful creatures in the universe, this is not right, this one's...insane!" Said the scared Jim.
`All the ships have commenced firing` Gillium stated.
"Uh Oh" Gene and Jim said in Unison.
The OS made serious of twirls and twists throught he missle barrages, but the missiles, little by little, hit the OS.
"Damn it, I knew we should've gotten the gun reloaded, Jim, do we have anything other than the gattling on top?" Asked the out of breath captain.
"Only your stupid firework missles, the grappler arms are off line because the missles hit the main circutry, all we've got is the gattling, the fireworks and the engines." Said Jim in a desgusted voice.
BOOOMM! BOOOMMM!
"Damn it Gene Starwind, your going to get us killed! GRRRRRRR!" Yelled Aisha.
`There is an abnormality in the verniers Gene" Exclaimed Gillium.
"What? Jim, reset the parabalance" Barked the exhausted Gene.
"Setting, damn, one of the verniers blew, damn, we've got a fire in the engine room!" Screamed Jim through the Darkness of the bridge.
"Damn it, shut down the Munchhousen drive." Said the Captain.
"What, but then we'll be sitting ducks, we won't even be able of move." Said Jim.
"Just do it, I think I've got a plan." Said Gene with a smile playing on his lips.
"OH, and What Kind of Half-assed Hair-brained Plan would That be?" Screamed Jim, completely loosing his cool.
"Just trust me" Said Gene with a huge Grin.
"Fine, we're all gonna die anyway, shutting down verniers! Now what?" Said Jim.
"Alright, prep the missles!" Said Gene
"But the missles are..."
"Just do it," said Gene.
"Mel..."
"Yes Gene" said Melfina through the navagation tube.
"Prep the..."
Inside the Sylgreens cruiser, there was insane laughing, finally,
"I'll destroy them all, Yataka, Set the Helscion missile toward the Outlaw Star"
"Yes Sir" Answered a strange creature that looked like a tall Swanzo.
"Sir" Asked the creature.
"Yes, what is it?" Asked the insane Sylgreen.
"The Outlaw star is opening all of its missile pods" Exclaimed the creature.
"What, they're still retaliating, fine then. This is Kazuhiko hailing all ships, destroy the Outlaw Star now!"
Outside, a Barrage of missiles were fired onto the OS.
"We did it sir, The Outlaw Star is as good as destroyed!"
BOOM!
Flashes of gold and orange were all around the area where the OS used to be, there were still several gray flashes of the afterburn of the still incoming missles.
"It is confirmed Sir"
"The Outlaw Star is destroyed?" Asked the Sylgreen.
"Yes!" Answered the creature.
"Fine, lets go get our reward."
T.B.C.
Author's Notes: AWWW, I destroyed the OS, that sucks. Anyway, I'd just like to
say one thing before I forget.
GUNDAM WING IS ON AGAIN ON MON. THROUGH FRI. AT 4:30 P.M. ON CN.

Anyway, again, All Ideas will be taken into consideration, so give me as many as you can because I've got none. (Heh Heh) Either post them in your review, or e-mail me with your ideas at
quatre_rw15@hotmail.com.
And another thing, I will not write anymore until I get at least 15-20 Reviews, that means, if I don't at least see a #36 in the review column, I won't write anymore. So review, isn't blackmail great. I'll post sometime in the next two weeks because I don't have a lot of time to write.
So, REVIEW, AND PLEASE SEND ME IDEAS, I'VE GOT NONE SO FAR AND INSPIRATION TAKES TOO LONG. So, until next time,

Author's Notes: GOMEN NASAI! I so sorry I haven't posted for so long, but I have four good reasons.
1) I have got only 7 reviews for the last chapter, I got 14 for the first one, that's sorta of an insult, isn't it, so, I won't post the Part 4 until I get at least 15-20 reviews.
I'd like to thank the following people for reviewing part 2:

, Midnight Lilly, Kachie-san, nicky~*~, marril70, and Zecks.
2) I have been so swamped with homework, reports and thesis, that I haven't been able to write for a really long while now, so I apologize, but don't blame me, blame my teachers.
3) For the last two weeks, I've been sitting in front of the T.V. and writing down terms used in OS because I wanted to be authentic, and its taken me a long time for toonami to get to the episodes I want to watch, so its been a long, tedious process.
4) Lastly, when I thought up this story, I started with an end, gave it a beginning, and still don't know what to do with the middle, I've got a vague idea of what to do, but its hard to get a good story idea, fortunately, I got inspiration about an hour ago, but only for this chapter, so, if you have any, I repeat, ANY ideas, please, tell me, writing is not as easy as it looks, all, again, I repeat, all ideas will be put into consideration!
Anyway, I've been rambling for wayyy too long, so, without further aduei, here's the third part of Destiny:
~ Morning
Melfina slowly got up out of her bed, fresh and ready for the day ahead. She slowly slipped into a bathrobe and made her way into the kitchen, but when she got there, she found none-other than
"GENE!" yelled Melfina in surprise, only Sazuka ussually got up this early.
"UUHHHH" Gene seemed to finally awaken from his slumber. He was sitting at the kitchen table sorrounded by empty cups.
"I...I'm sorry I woke you up, it's just that you never get up this early, Gene...GENE? What's wrong? You seem troubled!" Melfina asked with a worried expression on her face.
"Melfina...I...I..." Gene stuttered.
'Damn it! I had a whole little speech made just for her and I choke at the last minute!' Thought Gene as he mentally kicked himself.
"GENE, WHAT'S WRONG?" Something was really wrong, Melfina knew full well that Gene NEVER stuttered, he was too confident in everything he said and did to do so, he had dark bags under his eyes, he didn't look like he'd been sleeping for a long time!
"Nothin', it's just that...that I've been up all night!" Gene answered quickly
"How come?" Asked Melfina affectionately, while putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I couldn't sleep, I found this box from Horus a couple of hours ago, and..." Gene began
"Horus...Oh, I'm sorry Gene I didn't mean to interu..." Melfina blurted out with her hand over her mouth
"NO...no, its okay, because...um...because...the box...I uhh...ya see...I kinda hacked into it and um...a younger Hilda turned up and she was holding a baby and than she said something about you being the baby and then I turned it off because I kinda got scared and didn't know what to do because I didn't know how'd you react so I couldn't sleep so I tried some of Sazuka's tea to sleep but I drank too much and now I've got a headacke. Ahhhhh!" Gene blurted it all out as fast as he could which was quickly followed by a big intake of breath.

"Sure thing Mel, I'll bring it in a sec, mean while, could you make me some breakfast, I'm starving." Said Gene, with a huge grin back on his face.
"Hahahahahaaha(Does anybody know a good Giggle word, please tell me), of course Gene, what would you like?" Too late of course, did Melfina realized how stupid a question that was for Gene.
"UMMM...not much, just some cereal, milk, omlet sandwitch, toast, orange juice, bacon, eggs, milk, and a big fat wet one...mmmmmmmmmmmmhhhmm, see ya in a sec" Said Gene after giving a very long kiss to an unsuspecting and now very crimson Melfina.
"Umm, alright!" Said Melfina as she began taking out the proper ingredients for Gene's unquechable hunger.
'Where is Gene, he said he's was going to come back in a moment, but I haven't seen him for over ten minutes, and I keep hearing these pained grunts, it's not like me to be impatient, but, this box, it may hold the key to finding out my past, I'll just wait for Gene, I trust him not to lie!' Thought Melfina, mentally reasuring herself.
GUUUUUGH
"What is that sound, it's not the engine, GENE, Is that you?" Asked Melfina.
"Umm, yeah, it was, umm, heh heh!" Said Gene, coming into the kitchen once more carrying a small laptop and a black box.
"What were those sounds your making?" Asked a very curious Melfina
"I was umm...Lets just say that drinking too much tea isn't good for ya!" Said the grinning captain.
"Allright, here's your sandwitch and cereal" Said Melfina setting down some plates.
"Thanks Mel, hey, where's Sazuka, isn't she up by now?" Asked Gene before beginning to stuff his face.
"Oh, she drank a bit too much Sake (Japanese Rice Wine) at Jim's Birthday Party and went to sleep early, I don't think she was feeling so good" Said Melfina, remembering a very green faced Suzuka.
"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAA! She should stick to her tea, but I don't think that's very good for her stomache either" Said the amused captain.
"Right, um, Gene..." Began a nervious Melfina.
Gene, of course, noticed what she was getting to, and promptly stopped eating.
"Okay, that was great, now let's get right down to business!" Said Gene, putting his dishes in the dishwasher and placing the infamous black box on the kitchen table.
Melfina was visibly nervous of what was to come, but Gene knew she was eager.
"Okay, here we go!" Said Gene hooking up the laptop to the black box. After a few tense minutes, Gene finally broke the now familiar code.
"AAANNND I'm in" Said Gene. Melfina had a very surprised and intrigued look on her face.
"Wow, I didn't know you could do that Gene!" Said Melfina.
"HUH" Said Gene, dazed by the compliment
"What? You ever doubted my talents, how dare you!" Said Gene, putting on a mock insulted look!
Melfina only smiled.
"Okay, I'm starting the first recording, its from 18 years ago, but its definatelly Hilda, no doubt about it. Here, I started it."
Hilda's familiar younger face came on, she was tired and sweaty and had a bundle of light pink sheets in her hand.
"This is my daughter, Melfina" Said the younger Hilda.
"Gasp...Its...its really her, could I really be..." Said the shocked Melfina
"I had to see it twice to believe it, but its her alright, and that baby looks just like you, you were so cute." Said Gene with a grin while doing "Couchie Coo" at the screen, where, as if on cue, a small head popped out of the sheets and it opened its eyes, it had black hair and big brown eyes, identicle to Melfina's.
"She's so beautiful, she's got your eyes ya know" Said the teenage Hilda to the Camera gently holding a baby Melfina.
"Who's holding the Camera?" Asked Melfina curiously.
"Don't know, I just watched until this part!" said Gene
"Let me get a picture of you two, handsome!" Said the younger Hilda, as the Camera holder put down the Camera and took the baby into his arms, unfortunetly, only his arms were seen.
"Sit on that chair, I'll take the picture." Said the visible young Hilda, who was seen now from a lower angle now that the Camera was placed on some kind of Cabinet, only Hilda holding a photocamera was seen.
"Now smile!" Said young Hilda. Seconds later she took the Photo.
"Here, I want to hold her!" Said Hilda, handing the Photocamera back to the unknown man and picking up baby Melfina.
"Sit, we Need to talk" said young Hilda, now taking up the serious demeanor the older Hilda almost always had.
"Gwen Khan?" Said a deep voice, the unknown person must have sat because a scraping was heard than a soft sigh, but the man was still unsean and unknown.
"Yes, I don't trust him, why did he repair Horus, or give us this room, and I heard him talking about some kind of Leyline. He's kept us here under his 'Hospitality'" Hilda said Sarcasticly
"For over three months now, and he's been giving me these "Nutrient" injections since we came, I don't know, but I wouldn't bet a wong that those are nutrients. Melfina doesn't seem to be affected, however, but I still think we should leave as soon as possible. Those damn Toa guys won't let us leave, We couldn't fight because I was pregnant, but now I'm better. We have to leave now, I don't like how Khan's eyeing Melfina, I just...I just...think he's going to do something to her and I can't let that happen!" At that point young Hilda burst into full fledged tears.
"Hilda, please don't cry, I'll never let those bastards do anything to you, or my daughter, I swear it as long as I live and after!" Said the deep voiced father.
"I'm sorry, it's...its these damn hormones, I'll be like this for days. Oohhh"Said the miserable Hilda.
Suddently, there came slight static in the picture.
"Hey, what the hell is going on, what's happening?" Gene Yelled as he banged the Laptop screen to get a better picture.
"Gene, relax, its just interference within the recording." Reassured Melfina
The picture started clearer but then came a big
BOOOOOMMM!
There was smoke andd fire everywhere, then the smoke started clearing, Gene and Melfina saw the consequences of the blast.
Hilda was holding a crying Melfina in her right arm, on the left side of the bed, the wall was completely blown away, some of the bed was also blown away, as well as Hilda's entire left arm. Laughter could be heard in the background. A bloody body could be seen somewhere under the rouble.
The smoke cleared to reveal Gwen Khan, several Toa warriors, and two women. Both were laughing, One seemed older, she had black curly hair and light orange eyes, she was dressed in leather and had a small little boy idneticle to her by her side. The other woman seemed smaller, but had an even crueler laugh, she had pale skin and seafoam green hair, she was holding a one year old boy in one hand and a detonator in the other. She also had peircing light purple eyes, which were now narrowed in tiny slits.
The black haired woman turned to the boy and barked
"Go on, say hi to your little sister, son!" The tiny boy got a cruel smile on his face and mad his way through the rouble to get to the bleeding Hilda and baby Melfina.
"Get away from her you evil bitches, I'll kill you boy!" A deep voice yelled from under the rouble. The camera was now on the floor, so it only showed parts of Hilda holding Melfina, and mostly the exploded entrance.
"Awww, how could you say that to your own son?" Said the seafoamed haired woman.
"Go to hell you, Hilda, Hilda?" Something was seen stumbling through the corner.
"Well, it seems that daddy doesn't like you, son, kill him for mommy!"
Bang. A distinct gunshot was heard, than a fall"
"Noooo, L..." Click
The recording was shut off by Gene before Hilda could finish
"Gene?" came a voice behind Gene and Melfina, Gene immediately shut the program and shut off the computer.
"Gene? What in the hell are you doing up so early" The owner of the voice stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself to be Jim, who was dressed in boxers and a gray tanktop, his ussual sleeping apparel.
"Well?" Asked the young technician again.
"Nothin' Jim, just nothin'" Gene knew by the look on Melfina's face that she didn't want the others to be told of there new discovery just yet.
"Gene, I know your lying, you might as well just tell m...Melfina, what's wrong?" Jim asked compassionately.
Melfina had a tearful expression on her face.
"Its alright Jim, I'm just...I'm just a little tierd." Exclaimed Melfina, and then fell onto Gene and began softly crying on his shoulder. Jim made a movement to also comfort her, but Gene mouthed
"Not now" To Jim, who obediantly listened. If Jim knew anything about Gene, he knew that Gene was ussually always right about women, hard as it may be to admit for Jim.
So, Jim, went to pour himself some hot coffee. When he got back, Melfina had regained her composure.
"So..." Jim knew better than ask about what happened a few minutes ago.
"What's that big black box" Jim asked Gene
"The black box from Horus" Gene answered simply!
"What (O.O)...AAAHAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOWOWOWOWOOOOOOOWWWWWWWOWOOWWWWW!" It seemed that in Jims surprise of the news accidently poured his hot steaming coffee on his...crotch. (MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA, I'm so cruel to Jim)
"MWAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAA." Gene had burst into giggles, as had Melfina at Jim's wreathing form.
"Hahhahah...Oh, I'm so sorry Jim, let me get you some ice" Said a sorry Melfina, quickly ran to the fridge.
"HO...HO...HOOOOOOTTT!" Screamed an unhappy Jim.
"HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA. Nice Job, butter fingers. HAHAHAHAHAA!" Yelled Gene.
"SHUT UP" Came Jims voice from under the table. Jim had finally gotten up, but was standing in an unussual position. When Gene saw him, he "MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. You wet your pants little boy! Mwahahahahahaa!" Screamed Gene as he laughed and pointed to the light brown stain in the crotch are of Jims boxers.
"I'M...NOT...A...LITTLE...BO...OH, HI AISHA" Said Jim quickly, forgetting all his woes at the site of Aisha, dressed in nothing more than a tiny nightgown.
"What a bunch of Guri Guri (I heard Aisha say that line in the second episode of OS) is this? I have been woken up early for the second day in a row, a young and beautiful Ctarl Ctarl such as myself deserves her beauty rest, whoever dared wake me up will suffer cosequences that can only be impailed by a great Ctarl Ctarl." Screamed a grumpy Aisha.
Gene quickly noticed that Jim was staring at Aisha, and that he was extremely red and had the slightest trickle of blood coming out of his nose. (You guys wanna know why this happens, go to tuxedomask.com, scroll all the way down and click on anime rules, read it, enjoy it, and die laughing)
"Hey Jim, hoping to burn a hole in Aisha's nightgown, huh. I don't think that she'll go out with somebody who wets their pants. OHHH, now I see what your staring at, Hey Jim..." Said Gene, extra loudly to get everyones attention.
"How come you're staring at Aisha's bre...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Jim, who realized what Gene was about to say, poured an entire steaming cup of coffee that was sitting on the counter on Gene's crotch.
"Here you go Jim!" Said Melfina quickly, downing a whole bag of ice down the front of Jim's boxers.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"Oh, Gene, you should be more careful" Said Melfina.
"What's going on, why is everyone awake?" Came the unussually loud and furious voice of Suzuka.
"Oh, nothing!" Squealed Aisha.
"Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking," Boomed Suzuka
"Why must you two always act like children, I need some sleep around here, Is that too much to ask?" Screamed Suzuka.
"What's with her?" Asked a bewildered Jim.
"UHH..." came from under the table.
"PMS" the voice continued.
"What did you say Gene Starwind?"
"Nothin'" quickly said Gene, afraid for his life of a Suzuka with PMS with a hangover.
Suddently, Aisha's droopy ears perked up.
"Everybody, SHUT UP!" Screamed Aisha.
"What?" Yelled the OS captain
"Ships are coming, big ones, they're gonna attack!" Screamed Aisha.
"Uh Oh" Went Jim.
"Everyone, lets go!" Said Gene with an air of authority. Even though he was off the floor, he was still standing in the same way Jim was moments ago.
`Good Morning everybody` came the voice of Gillium.
`Gene, What's wrong?`
"We're going to be under attack according to Aisha." Yelled Gene while getting into the pilots chair and straightening his gloves.
"Okay, Melfina, you all set?" Asked Gene over his shoulder
"Yes, connected!" Said Melfina from inside her chamber.
"Good, Jim, Suzuka, Aisha?"
"Roger" Said Jim
"Ready" Said Suzuka, who, once again, has regained her cool.
"GRRRR, they will pay for keeping me out of bed!" Growled Aisha.
" Missles coming in from 8 O'clock high!" Exclaimed Melfina.
The OS made a sharp upward turn to the right, missing the missles by an inch.
"Ha, they aren't so good!" Said the grinning captain.
"More missles from 3 O'clock low" Said Melfina.
The OS quickly made a downward twirl to the left, missing the missles just to meet another pair.
"These things are everywhere, Gillium, how many ships are there?" Asked Gene.
`So far I have detected 7 ships` Came the voice of Gillium.
"SEVEN, HOLY SHIT, we're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna die!" Chanted Jim.
"No we're not, fire a barrage of class-3 missles at them all, then lets get out of here" Screamed Gene.
"Roger that, firing missiles" Said Jim, regaining his composure.
The missiles went toward the ships, but just as they impacted, they exploded as...fireworks.
"What the hell was that Guri Guri" Screamed Aisha in frustration.
"UUHHH, Gene, I told you not to buy Missles from that guy in the Toward Stars Inn, I told you he looked weird, but noooo, 'You worry too much' you said 'He's fine' you said. I told you to go to Fred, but noooo, 'We're in too much debt' you say, a great time to realize that Gene." Screamed Jim.
"Well, How the hell was I supposed to know." Retorted Gene.
"Welll, you could've acctually checked them you big, irresponcible BAKA" Screamed Jim.
"Gillium, show all the ships." Said the OS captain.
`Yes Gene` 7 Windows instantly popped up showing all the attackings ships.
"Its not so bad, mostly cruisers" Excaimed Gene.
"Wait a Minute, recognize that ship" Said Jim, pointing at one of the windows.
"Which one?" Asked the Captain
"That one, the main one, it look just like the ship that...that...oh no!" Said Jim Quickly paling.
"What?" Asked a biwildered Gene.
"The Lead ship is hailing us" Exclaimed Melfina from inside her navagation tube.
"Alright, put him through"
A large window popped up on the main screen, on it was a cross between a blue ostrich and a lizard.
"Its that Sylgreen we me on Heiphon" Said Jim
"It is, how can you tell? They all look the same" Asked Gene.
"Is this the Outlaw Star" Barked the Sylgreen
"Yeah, who's asking?" Said Gene arragontly.
"You don't remember me do you? Huh, do you. You, yes you, little blond twit and that girl, you ruined my life, you left me on that godamn planet after destroying my plant and bug. Do you know what the fine is for not requesting a lease on forign plants and animals on Heiphon? Huh, do ya?" Screamed the apprehensive Sylgreen.
"UMM, no, why? Should we care? Its your own fault that you didn't apply, don't come crying to us about it!" Said Gene
"It was 6,000,000 wong, I was broke, I was kept in prison like a common criminal for six weeks. Do you know what it is like to be a Sylgreen in Prison? You don't, it was hell, it drove me insane. I was so happy that there was a bounty out for you, I was going to go after you anyway, but now I'll get paid for it. Oh, I won't destroy you, I'll shoot the stuffing out of you and then drag you back to the people who posted the bounty. I'll get you, I'll get you good!"
Barked the enraged Sylgreen.
Click, the transmission ended.
"There is still a bounty after us, but how can that be?" Said the confused Gene
"Gene, We're in big trouble, the Sylgreen are one of the most peaceful creatures in the universe, this is not right, this one's...insane!" Said the scared Jim.
`All the ships have commenced firing` Gillium stated.
"Uh Oh" Gene and Jim said in Unison.
The OS made serious of twirls and twists throught he missle barrages, but the missiles, little by little, hit the OS.
"Damn it, I knew we should've gotten the gun reloaded, Jim, do we have anything other than the gattling on top?" Asked the out of breath captain.
"Only your stupid firework missles, the grappler arms are off line because the missles hit the main circutry, all we've got is the gattling, the fireworks and the engines." Said Jim in a desgusted voice.
BOOOMM! BOOOMMM!
"Damn it Gene Starwind, your going to get us killed! GRRRRRRR!" Yelled Aisha.
`There is an abnormality in the verniers Gene" Exclaimed Gillium.
"What? Jim, reset the parabalance" Barked the exhausted Gene.
"Setting, damn, one of the verniers blew, damn, we've got a fire in the engine room!" Screamed Jim through the Darkness of the bridge.
"Damn it, shut down the Munchhousen drive." Said the Captain.
"What, but then we'll be sitting ducks, we won't even be able of move." Said Jim.
"Just do it, I think I've got a plan." Said Gene with a smile playing on his lips.
"OH, and What Kind of Half-assed Hair-brained Plan would That be?" Screamed Jim, completely loosing his cool.
"Just trust me" Said Gene with a huge Grin.
"Fine, we're all gonna die anyway, shutting down verniers! Now what?" Said Jim.
"Alright, prep the missles!" Said Gene
"But the missles are..."
"Just do it," said Gene.
"Mel..."
"Yes Gene" said Melfina through the navagation tube.
"Prep the..."
Inside the Sylgreens cruiser, there was insane laughing, finally,
"I'll destroy them all, Yataka, Set the Helscion missile toward the Outlaw Star"
"Yes Sir" Answered a strange creature that looked like a tall Swanzo.
"Sir" Asked the creature.
"Yes, what is it?" Asked the insane Sylgreen.
"The Outlaw star is opening all of its missile pods" Exclaimed the creature.
"What, they're still retaliating, fine then. This is Kazuhiko hailing all ships, destroy the Outlaw Star now!"
Outside, a Barrage of missiles were fired onto the OS.
"We did it sir, The Outlaw Star is as good as destroyed!"
BOOM!
Flashes of gold and orange were all around the area where the OS used to be, there were still several gray flashes of the afterburn of the still incoming missles.
"It is confirmed Sir"
"The Outlaw Star is destroyed?" Asked the Sylgreen.
"Yes!" Answered the creature.
"Fine, lets go get our reward."
