This fact calmed Det... Kiyone Makabi as she floated through the remains of her ship, the Yagami.
she searched for her companion not knowing whether he was alive, or not. The explosion seemed to have come from the internal reactors which should have obliterated both, so she was not holding much hope of finding him.
Another normal trip up in smoke, & here they were trying to work with the Jurian Knights as an experiment of cooperation between the Galactic Union & the Jurai Government. Yet another problem that hurt Kiyone's chances at promotion.
Finally, a familiar figure appeared floating about 30 yards ahead of her. She maneuvered her flight suit jets & approached the still figure. When she got to him, his suit being of Jurian configuration was different in structure. But, they still had compatible life support & comm. links. As she connected the suits together, she tried to speak to her companion.
Kiyone: Kamadake (The knight, not the log), hey wood head , wake up!
Kamadake: (Groggily) Miss Kiyone, can you tell me what happened?
Kiyone: Well, it seems that when Mihoshi & Azaka left on the Yukinojo, Mihoshi hadn't closed off the Fuel pump from the Yagami.
Kamadake: & it then leaked down to the Plasma chamber.......
Kiyone: ..... Where it reacted with the reactors! (they both have a sweat drop the size of Montana)
Kamadake: Honestly, why do you put up with her? (No a bit angry)
Kiyone: It's not like I haven't tried to ditch her by transferring, or even dying, which I have done!
Kamadake: You really died to get away from her! How'd you gone back from the dead?
Kiyone: I was frozen in space, then was rescued & revived. And all
because of Mihoshi,
Yet what do my bosses do? They send me out to find her again!
(The after a pause) Does Azaka drive you nuts too, Like Mihoshi?
Kamadake: No, I think there's only one Mihoshi in this universe, But Azaka can be a little odd at times, of course he has more experience than I & does things his way! I am the junior Knight, so he is the boss. So How long before they come back to us. Aren't they suppose to rendezvous with us here?
Kiyone: Yes, in 4 hours, but we have only 2 hours of air left in these suits! We won't make it! (She then squeezed his hand through their gloves)
Kamadake: Miss kiyone, do you know the technique of slowing down your bodily system to almost nil, thereby stretching out our oxygen enough for us to be rescued?
Kiyone: Yes, I had some training in Biofeedback & the like at the academy. Are you suggesting we use it now?
Kamadake: We will need to do this soon, or there won't be enough air!
Kiyone: OK, so stop talking so we stop using the oxygen
As the 2 figure slowly put themselves in suspended animation, they still held hands, even though Kiyone had put several latches between the suits so neither would float away from each other. As they drifted within the blast area they dreamed while in their hypnotic state.
Kamadake was on Jurai on a rare day off, & was at one of the may
parks in the Jurain Capital. a beautiful woman was with him as they picnicked
there. as they enjoyed each other's company he started to notice
that he couldn't quite see his companion's face
Her face was always in a shadow. The he notices something familiar,
her hair was a teal/green in color & was long & straight.
He then became more curious & he got up on his elbows, leaned towards
her & picked up her chin with his finger & saw......
Kiyone smiling at him!
They everything started to fade, & they he saw some bright lights, then some fuzzy figures started to materialize in front of him.
The he saw a familiar face, a gray bearded face With a crooked smile on it!
Azaka: Well I guess Junior here is finally up from his long catnap!
Kamadake: (Groggily, & for the 2nd time in one day) Where.... what.. Oh .... mmmm Where Miss Kiyone?
Kiyone: Right here Kama-san, & Yes I have a head ache too!
Kamadake: I don't want to do that again!
Mihoshi: Well, I'm glad we got to you guys an hour earlier that we were
supposed to.
(They about to cry, she latches onto Kiyone) Oh I'm Sooooo soorrry
for all this!
(Crying fountains of Tears as Kiyone tries to calm her down).
Kamadake: (An incedulous look at Mihoshi,)So, how did you handle her while we were "napping"?
Azaka: I put the ship on auto pilot and played some video games with her to keep her occupied.
Kamadake: Even after the automatic distress signal was given?
Azaka: I just increased the speed. Especially after I lost to her the last 4 games, I had to win at least one.
Kiyone: (listening in on their conversation, Angrily ) You mean to tell
me you two played video games as you were coming back to rescue us? (Big
sweat drops on Both heads of Azaka & Mihoshi)
Well, have you found Yagami's Mainframe proccesor?
Mihoshi, You mean the computer's brain, right?
Kiyone: Yes, you ditz, DID you Find it!
Mihoshi: You mean that black Cube thingy?
Kiyone: YES!!!
Mihoshi: I didn't see it!
Kiyone: (As she strangles her partner) AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Azaka: I found a cube that you describe! (Kiyone finally disengages
her hands from Mihoshi's neck!)
I put it in a storage locker on the bridge, is that adequate?
Kiyone: Well, at least one of you had some sence to do the right thing!
Mihoshi; I'm sorry Kiyone (Sobbing uncontrollably)
Kiyone: Oh, it's Ok Kiyone, but the repair cost is coming out of your pay, got it!
Mihoshi: (she stops crying & Happily says) Oh thnk you Kiyone! (She huggs her partner)
Azaka: Well, We need to get back to earth, Lord Katsuhito wants to have us back for training tomorrow!
Kiyone: Can you two handle getting us back home with out screwing up?
Azaka: I Miss Kiyone Will keep an eye on Miss Mihoshi, I can promise you of that!
Kamadake: Well, then let us rest please! ( And with quick good nights, the rescued G.P. Officer & Jurian Knight finally Fall asleep next to each other on the Yukinojo's Med Lab.
Next, Training & an awakening of new feelings!
