Crisis Wind
NOTES: Hey, what can I say? I love Outlaw Star, you can't get me to talk about any other anime (or anything else for that matter) without me saying something about Outlaw Star or staring at a picture of Gene Starwind. (glomps onto Gene) ^.^= Check out my profile for a pic of him.
DISCLAIMER: Outlaw Star doesn't belong to me, but Gene Starwind *should* belong to me. Crisis Wind is the name of my made up 'sister' ship of the Outlaw Star. Any characters that weren't originally from Outlaw Star belong to me, and yes, Gene will fall in love with a girl that is one of my made-up characters. ^__________________^; BTW, I've only watched the dubbed episodes, but they're close enough to the Japanese ones (with the exception of Fred Luo, that is, and thank god for that!), so the names, etc., are American style.

Episode 1: Wind Crescendo
Gene Starwind grinned from ear to ear as he strolled down the stairs, entering the kitchen. His red hair was mussed up as if he had recently gotten out of bed. Of course, that, and the fact that he was swaying from side to side as he walked made it seem like he was drunk.
"Ahh, nice day, eh?" he asked, picking up his fork. Jim Hawkings, his partner, stared at him, one eyebrow raised.
"You've been drinking again, haven't you?" replied the small boy in a flat tone. Aisha ClanClan smiled cheerily as she raised the mug of black coffee that Melfina had just given her.
"Of COURSE! What's the use of living if you can't have any fun?" With that, Aisha chugged down the entire cup and slammed it on the table.
"So, any jobs today?" continued the CtarlCtarl ex-ambassador. Her wide blue eyes peered at Jim's computer from over his shoulder.
"I'm gonna go check on the Outlaw Star, 'kay?" Gene finished his breakfast - eggs, toast, and bacon - and strolled out the door. Jim shook his head, and pushed down the screen of his laptop just as Aisha was about to tap on a key.
"Hey! Why'd you do that for?" she shrieked. Having her fingers squashed made her a lot less cheerful.
"Sorry, Aisha! Gotta go after Gene!" shouted Jim over his shoulder as he ran after his older partner. Aisha glared at his back in reply, then sat down again and stuffed her mouth with food as Melfina took away Jim's and Gene's plate.
Suzuka, quiet as usual, said nothing and sipped her green tea, allowing the hint of a smile to tug at the corner of her mouth.

"Done outfitting the ship yet?" asked Gene. The mechanic shook his head and frowned at Gene.
"Hey, who are you? You ain't the owner of this ship," said the mechanic. Then Gene noticed the ship's color. It was navy blue, not cherry red.
"WHO REPAINTED MY SHIP?!" screamed Gene, and turned around to face Jim. Gene grabbed Jim by the shoulders and shook the dirty-blond haired boy. Jim pushed Gene off of him and shook his head.
"This isn't the Oulaw Star, Gene," corrected Jim.
"THEN WHERE'S OUR SHIP?" shouted Gene. Jim placed a hand over Gene's mouth and dragged the taller man outside. Jim then pointed to the cherry red ship across the walkway - the Outlaw Star.
"Oh. Oops," said Gene, embarrassed. He pointed at the blue ship behind him. "Then whose ship is that?"
"It's mine. Got a problem with that?" answered a voice. Gene saw a woman with long black hair, one bang dyed red, and blue eyes. She wore her hair in a ponytail that streamed from the nape of her neck and was dressed in a light blue tunic over a white shirt with black leggings. The belt she wore held a dagger.
"Who are you, anyway?" wondered the woman. "I'm Jess, Jessica Oberon."
"Uh..." stammered Gene, gawking at Jessica. Jim kicked his partner - hard - and replied, "I'm Jim Hawkins, and this is my partner, Gene Starwind."
"I see. This is my ship, the XGP15B-II," continued Jessica, waving a hand at the navy blue space ship. "I call it the Crisis Wind." She walked into the room and grabbed onto the railing to keep herself from floating; the room was anti-gravitational. Jim, however, preferred to float. He hovered in the air and spun upside down, looking at Jessica.
"Who built it?" Jessica shrugged, and looked at the ship.
"It was given to me by my uncle. He worked with the military, but he had been my guardian, and I was his favorite niece, so... Mind not looking at me like that? You're making me feel like an alien, or something." The last two sentences were directed at Gene. Jim bopped Gene on the head, causing a bump to emerge from the piles of red hair. Gene rubbed it, looking annoyed at Jim, and muttered, "Sorry."
"You don't think it could be a sister ship to the Outlaw Star, do you?" The two ships were nearly identical from the outside, if not for their color.
"Outlaw... Star?" repeated Jessica, following Jim's pointed finger.
***
"I'm bored. When's Gene and Jim gonna come back with a job for us?" yawned Aisha. She tapped the buttons on her blue Game Boy (that's what it looks like, at least to me!) rapidly, not really paying attention to the screen in front of her. She had played this game too many times for it to interest her any longer.
"Hey! Is Gene Starwind here?" called someone from outside. Suzuka looked bored and went outside. A red-haired girl stared at Suzuka. Her green eyes revealed surprise.
"You, where's Gene Starwind?" demanded the girl. Suzuka smiled lightly.
"What's it to you? Gene Starwind isn't here right now, but I'll be glad to take up your business with him," replied Suzuka. She laid one hand on her wooden sword, ready to fight if she had to.
"I heard he needed help. An arsenal expert. My sister and I are just what he needs," finished the girl. Suzuka smiled again and let go of her sword. She led the girl into the building and motioned for her to sit on the sofa. Aisha looked up.
"Who's she? Our new employer?" asked the cat-girl. The other girl looked amused as she fingered her yellow tunic. The loose black shorts she wore wrinkled even more as she fidgeted, and the chest pocket of her white shirt seemed to conceal a penknife. Her shoulder-length hair framed her face, the bangs hiding the top of her eyes.
"No. My name is Crystal Oberon. My sister, Jessica, and I are experts on weapons and defense, respectively. We heard Gene Starwind needed an arsenal expert, so we came here," answered the girl.
"Oh." Aisha's face fell and she returned to staring at the screen of her Game Boy. Melfina came out of the kitchen and placed a cup of tea in front of Crystal.
"Gene left about an hour ago to check on our ship. You can wait here until he comes back," offered the bio-android. Crystal nodded her head in gratitude, then watched as Melfina left.
"She's not completely human, is she?" asked Crystal simply. Aisha looked up at her again, astonished. So did Suzuka, mouth clamped tightly.
"You can tell?" The ceramic cup hid Crystal's grin.
***
"Where's the android containment tube?" asked Gene, looking around the interior of the Crisis Wind. Jessica had led the duo aboard, offering Jim the chance to see if the Outlaw Star and the Crisis Wind were truly sister ships.
"The Crisis Wind is more of an official's personal transport ship than it is a battleship. The parts that are for battle are just in case a pirate gang or a vengeful outlaw decides to attack. The captain controls navigation on board this ship," answered Jessica. "There are rooms and a kitchen for the crew when they're adrift in space." Jim whistled, eyebrows raised.
"Who's the captain?" inquired Jim, peering at the captain's quarters.
"I am." Both males stared at Jessica.
"WHAT?! You can't be serious! How old are you anyway?" exclaimed Gene.
"15. Besides, if Jim can help out on the Outlaw Star, I'm sure I can pilot my *own* ship," retorted Jessica.
"Isn't there an older crew member?" wondered Gene, eyebrows raised.
"My sister, Crystal is 16, but she hates piloting. She calls me a 'natural' leader, so I just accepted it," answered the girl thoughtfully, hand placed upon her chin. Then she motioned for them to enter the kitchen. "I've got something to ask of you two."
Gene and Jim looked at each other. What other surprises did Jessica have in store for them? Jessica noticed their looks and laughed.
"Oh, come on! It's not like I'm planning to poison you with cookies or anything, the Crisis Wind isn't even fully stocked yet!" laughed Jessica, and she entered the kitchen, Gene and Jim following. Drinks were set out in front of the three.
"I heard you people needed a weapons and defense expert," announced the girl, stirring her milk tea with a spoon. Gene nodded, looking down at his beer.
"Well, we do have an arsenal expert b-" started Gene, lifting the green bottle.
"But he freaks me out. How good are you?" interrupted Jim, leaning forward. Gene looked angrily at Jim, as if he was about bop his partner on the head in retaliation of Jim's previous hit.
"You know, Fred's gonna kill us if we drop him. And besides, we don't have any money to pay them!" whispered Gene, an annoyed look on his face. Jim shrugged.
"Who cares? I don't need him acting gay around me!" complained Jim in return. Jessica laughed.
"So, my sis and I would like to take the job. Though from what Jim says, you already know that. My sister specializes in defense and technology, while I work primarily with weapons and martial combat," explained Jessica. Gene opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the girl.
"It's alright. Crystal and I don't want any wong, or dragonite. All we ask in exchange is that you teach us some of your tricks. You see, we're what you could call 'Outlaws-in-training'. And we can help out on any mission you have, not to mention we'd be right on the scene to tell you anything you need about some weapon or bomb," pointed out Jessica. Jim rubbed his chin.
"Well, they do have their benefits, not to mention we *could* use the help, Gene," said Jim, staring at his partner. Gene drank his beer and slammed the bottle on the table.
"One question. How good a shot are you?" asked Gene, and Jessica withdrew a pistol from her belt.
"I take it that means we're hired?" Gene nodded.
"Well, let's have a little target practice, shall we?" offered the girl, gun aimed at Gene. The taller man gulped and staggered back, eyes wide.
TO BE CONTINUED...
GENE: Next time, on Crisis Wind... the Ron McDougall is back, and his new partner has a promise she wants to fulfill, involving Jessica Oberon. Harry McDougall, on the other hand, wants to join the Outlaw Star crew! Melfina, why the heck do you wanna let him join? And god, Jess, what's wrong? Why're you so pissed at me? Next time, on Crisis Wind, Assassin Warning. You'd better get ready!
Well, minna, how'd you like it? The neding theme song for this, I'll have to use "Aoi Arashi" (Yui's theme song) from Fushigi Yuugi, sung by Touma Yumi (Yui's seiyuu!). The song sounds so cool! Not that "Hiru no Tsuki" and "Tsuki no Ie" (Outlaw Star Ending Song #1 and #2, respectively), sung by Akino Arai, isn't, of course... But anywayz... Should I continue? Or should I stop? Yes, I know that the "New girl joins Outlaw Star crew" thing is used a lot, I'm trying to make mine as different as possible. This is my first Outlaw Star fanfic, I hope it was good. Remember, I worship reviews and e-mail! In other words, READ AND REVIEW or E-MAIL ME!!!
