Crisis Wind
NOTES: *struggles from lack of Outlaw Star (they moved it to 5:30!)*
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. 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.
WARNING: Excessive cursing in this fic, but not technically considered cursing (I live in New York. So you can shoot me, but I'm too used to cursing, that's why most of my fics are PG to PG-13.).

Episode 4: Myrian Deathmatch
"There. The Crisis Wind and the Outlaw Star. You're not getting away from me *this* time, Ikaina!" exclaimed Aria with satisfaction. Ron looked boredly out the window.
"They can't, Aria. I sent a virus into Outlaw Star's main system. I'll bet the Crisis Wind has stopped to help them." he snorted. Aria shrugged and began to send a transmission to the Crisis Wind.
"Hello, Aria. What do you want?" Jessica's cold voice was heard, then her face was shown on the screen, frowning and annoyed. A smile crept over Aria's face, her hardened look steeling even more.
"Your death, naturally. Come, we're settling this on Hellespont," challenged Aria, "That is, if you aren't too chicken." The last mocking sentence gave Aria the response she wanted: "You're on."

"You WHAT?! Jess, how could you do that? You *know* how much she wants to kill you, and she's completely Myrian, one of the fastest races in the universe! You'll die out there!" shouted Crystal. She whacked Jessica on the head repeatedly, until Jessica finally stepped back, and glared at Crystal while strapping on pistols and equipment.
"It's my battle, Crys. I don't care." Jessica's look softened as she added, "Take care of the Crisis Wind when I'm gone, alright?" She stepped out of the Crisis Wind and stared down the long dusty road that would take her to the battlefield. "Goodbye, Crys."
Crystal stared after her cousin and frowned. "Oooooooooh, no. I am NOT letting you die, Jess, you suicidal freak!" She stormed on board the Outlaw Star. Aisha and Suzuka looked at each other and shrugged, following Crystal.
"Gene, could you do me a favor?" she sang, gliding in with a sly grin on her face. Gene looked at Crystal, his expression blasé. Crystal quickly explained.
"So, will you do it?"
"WHAT?! Hell, I am NOT going to risk MY life for someone I barely know! All she is to me is just a pretty girl with a strong will!" insisted Gene. Then his blue eyes glazed over. "Pretty girl, eh?" he mumbled to himself. "I'll do it!"
Crystal grinned. "You will? Thanks, we owe you one, Gene Starwind." She patted the taller redhead on the back.
"I'm coming along too!" cried Jim, excitement in his voice. At Gene's glare, he smiled innocently. "Well, there's nothing to do on this ship anyway!"
"And so will we, right Aisha?" asked Suzuka grimly. She nudged the CtarlCtarl in the ribs with her hilt.
"Ow!" Aisha glared murder at Suzuka. "Whaddya mean, 'we'?" she demanded.
"Simple. Now that Jessica's our fellow crew member, we've got to help her in any ways possible," said Suzuka. "You'd be floating about in space or be a disgraced CtarlCtarl if it weren't for her willingness to take you on." Aisha grimaced, then nearly shrieked as Suzuka tugged on her sore ear again.
"Fine! I'll do it, then! JUST LET GO OF MY EAR!!!" Aisha muttered a string of words that sounded very much like CtarlCtarl profanity.

*Commercial Break*
Author's Notes: Boy, these 'commercial breaks' are handy, ne? Anyways, here's why Aisha and Suzuka are crew members of the Crisis Wind now: Remember how Harry wanted to join Melfina on the Outlaw Star? Well, he's taken Aisha's old seat, so Aisha's gotta move, or go to Suzuka's seat. Considering Gene doesn't want her on board the OLS and she doesn't want to go back to the CtarlCtarl empire, Aisha decided to join the CW crew. Suzuka decided to follow along, thinking some fun might arise, considering Jess has one hell of a temper.
*End Commercial Break*

"Glad to see you made it." The echo surrounded Jessica and she looked around for Aria.
"Come out, Aria!" A shot rang out as a bullet sped towards Jessica's feet. She leaped up just as the shell exploded and she shot several rounds in the direction the shell had come from. Aria stepped out from behind a rock and smirked.
"I thought you were better than that. Tsk, tsk. You would've made a fine Myrian warrior. That is, you *would have*, cross-blood." Aria jumped and kicked Jessica in the chin, then gave the smaller girl an uppercut. Blood spilled out of Jessica's mouth from the force Aria used, and she wiped it off with her arm.
"Damn you." One shot at point-blank range was fired. The bullet bounced off of Aria's chest and crashed to the ground. Aria tripped Jessica using a swift low kick and treaded lightly onto the fallen girl's stomach, gun aimed at Jessica's forehead.
"You know, I swear I don't want to do this, but sadly, I have to do my duty," commented Aria. She squeezed her red eyes shut and her finger tigtened on the trigger.
Jessica laughed feebly.
"Go on!" she taunted, "I dare you to shoot me, Aria, I dare you to. You can't. And you know it." Aria opened her eyes slightly, angrily, narrow green eyebrows knitted in a frown. Jessica's blue eyes were misty, and contained a wild look. It was as if she had grown insane from death being nearby.
"SHUT UP!" shrieked the assassin.
"You can't kill me, Aria. You're too weak." Coughing made Jessica pause. "You're afraid, aren't you?" A small grin broke out on the bloodied lips and Aria dropped the pistol.
"I hate you. I really, really hate you." The words slipped from Aria's mouth, a quick series of words muttered before she could stop them. Assassins weren't supposed to have feelings, especially when they murdered. She faltered for a second.
A second was all Jessica needed. She grabbed Aria's ankle, using the woman to get up, and let loose with a kick that sent Aria flying into a nearby boulder.
*crack* The large brown stone split into halves; Myrians were tougher than humans. However, Aria lay still, eyes closed. Jessica seemed shaken.
"No," she whispered. She stood where she was, looking at Aria's body. "Not Aria, of all people. Not my cousin..."

TO BE CONTINUED...
GENE: Next time, on Crisis Wind... Cousin? Cousin? Aria is Jessica's COUSIN?! No way! And Aria's got amnesia now! We're not actually gonna take care of her, are we? With Ron McDougal out looking for her, how's Harry gonna be able to keep control of himself? Next time, on Crisis Wind... Reunion of Fates! You'd better get ready!
Okay, this took a while, because I don't usually write Action, etc. I'm more into big Sailormoon attack names...
