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.

Episode 5: Reunion of Fates
"Okay, so, Jim, you and Crystal stay here and try to delete the virus in Gilliam's system. Melfina, you should come here, too. Just in case Jessica's sustained any injuries. Harry..." Gene broke off as he saw the determined look on the clone's face. "Okay, you can tag along with Mel. Aisha and Suzuka, you're gonna be helping out to look for Jessica."
"But Gene..." whined Jim slightly. Gene glared at the boy and hissed in Jim's ear, "Look, I need you to watch over the ships, 'kay? You've got your pistol, right?" Jim nodded reluctantly as Gene walked out of the ship, taking Aisha and Suzuka with him.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be of help here," said Crystal comfortingly. She laid a hand on Jim's shoulder and dragged him over to where his laptop was connected to Gilliam's mainframe.
"Yeah, but I still wish I was out there," replied Jim, and sighed as he opened his laptop.

"Okay, so I'll go east, Gene goes north, and the rest of you head west," announced Aisha. Then she scratched the back of her head and added, "Am I right? Or is it everyone heads south?"
"Aisha, we've been over this ten times. The ships are south of here. Since you've got good eyesight and hearing, y-" started Suzuka with strained patience.
"Yeah, right," muttered Gene. Suzuka whacked him on the head for interrupting and resumed speaking.
"You'll go to the east by yourself. Gene goes off to the north, and he can take care of any trouble that comes his way. Harry, Melfina, and I will head to the west," continued the assasin. Harry opened his mouth, but was silenced by threatening glares from Gene, Suzuka, and Aisha.

*Commercial Break*
AN: WARNING! WARNING! Gene x Melfina lovers will not like the rest of this episode. You were warned in the summary, you've been warned again.
Oh, and I seriously didn't know that 'Ikaina' bit, that it's close to how it's spelled in Zelda: Majora's Mask. I don't own a N64. I have a PSX and a PS2. Not an N64, though I do like the Game Boy line and the old SNES games. Now I'm rambling...
Just continue, and don't flame me, Gene x Melfina lovers. I repeat, you were warned.
*End Commercial Break*

Dust flew past her face, stinging her blue eyes, but she didn't care. Jessica sat, hunched over, on the edge of a cliff, though it wasn't particularly high. Behind her lay Aria, green hair windblown, tips dyed red with the bit of blood that trickled from between her lips.
"Jess." The girl ignored the voice.
"Jess," repeated Gene. He sat down next to Jessica and stared at the view from the cliff.
"Nice view, huh?" Jessica didn't respond.
"So, what happened?" asked Gene, trying to get her to talk. It worked. The girl turned towards him, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Aria was my cousin. I think I've k-killed her..." sobbed Jessica. She buried her face in Gene's chest, and the taller man uneasily put an arm around Jessica's shoulders, then hugged her gently. She needed to be comforted.
"Uh, I'm sure she's alive..." hesitated Gene. His shirt was getting wet with Jessica's tears. Stumbling over to Aria's body, he felt about her wrist for a pulse. A faint beating came as a result of his search.
"She's concious. Just barely, however," he announced, and the girl brightened up. Then she sombered again.
"I did that," she said. Her voice came out choked and soft. Gene could barely hear her in howling wind.
"You?" snorted Gene. The wind wrapped around the two, blowing Jessica's hair to the side.
"Yes. It was like a bloodlust came over me, and that's not the first time it's happened. And I'm afraid. What if it happens again? I can actually kill a human when that happens." Jessica sniffled and buried her face in Gene's chest again. Gene's shirt was getting drenched, but for some reason, he didn't mind. It was strange to see her like this, crying and vulnerable when she was normally tough and fierce.
"Well, we'll just have to see about that when it happens. Don't worry. We'll all be there for you." Impulsively, Gene held Jessica at arm's length and kissed her on the forehead. She blushed slightly and quickly disentangled herself from him.
"Ooooh, Gene's got a girlfriend!" teased Aisha from a nearby ledge.
"Just shut up!" yelled both Jessica and Gene at the CtarlCtarl.

"Can we go back to the ship yet?" whined Harry for the umpteenth time. The trio was struggling along a rocky path.
"Keep your mouth shut," mumbled Suzuka, patting her wooden bokken. It was hard to talk in the fierce wind that was tugging at their bodies, pushing them back every few minutes or so. Only Harry was unaffected, using his new cyborg body technology to keep him down. Melfina didn't bother to talk and held onto Harry for fear of being blown away.
"But..."
"Just be quiet," ordered Suzuka, this time actually withdrawing her bokken. Harry immediately shut up. Several minutes passed in silence, before Harry dared to speak again.
"Who i-"
"What did I tell you?" asked Suzuka. Her voice stressed every word from between her gritted teeth.
"Well, look!" exclaimed Harry in exasperation. The trio paused to look at the direction at which Harry pointed so frantically, Suzuka grabbing onto a nearby boulder.
A lone man walked amongst the scattered boulders and rocks, using his gun like a walking stick. His mouth was slightly open as he beckoned to Harry.. The wind carried the man's voice to their ear, which whistled by fast. Suzuka could only catch traces of it.
"Har... me..." came the call. Harry got a pleased and frightened look on his face.
"It's Ron," whispered Harry, eyes wide. He ran frantically to Ron, unknowingly carrying a bouncing Melfina with him.
"Ron! RON!" he shouted happily. He slowed down as he reached his 'brother', kneeling in the dust. Melfina hid behind him. Ron MacDougall.
"Harry. I thought you were dead," grunted Ron in reply. A tears glistened in his eyes before his wiped them hastily away. Then he spotted Melfina.
"Her." With a single word, he yanked Melfina roughly to her feet and pushed her in front of a boulder. Leaning against a rock that shielded him from the wind, he began loading his gun.
"Ron... Ron, what are you doing?!"
"She caused your death. She was the one that caused me to suffer all these years without you. She helped the crew of the XGP reach the Galactic Leyline before us. She's the one whose caused all of this!" muttered Ron. He aimed at Melfina and fired.
"Melfina!" Within an instant, Harry's left arm changed into a rocket launcher-like gun and he wildly discharged a missile at Ron. Ron's shot missed by a few inches, while Harry's projectile hit Ron's chest. The older MacDougall fell to the ground, smiling slightly, eyes glazing over.
"So... it comes to this... you prefer a bio-android over your own brother... Well then, I won't stop you. Don't forget me, Harry..." Ron coughed twice before going into eternal slumber.
"No... not Ron, no... this isn't happening!" Harry's cry echoed throughout the air.
"RON!"

GENE: Next time, on Crisis Wind... This is great. Just great. Aisha's spreading around rumors that Jess and I are a couple. But she is kinda cute... Anyway, so we finally head to Blue Heaven. Aria regains conciousness, but she's lost her memory! Uh-oh. How's she gonna react to seeing Jess? And Jim finds a new love! Say... he never told me who his first 'girlfriend' was... Next time on Crisis Wind... Sweet Memories! You'd better get ready!
