Misato Kiki Inverse presents:
The day music... - part II
- Finally! - Mylene yelled excited - So it is there where Basara ended up!
- Yes... but - Gamlin Kanzaki seemed unsure and worried.
- Mr. Gamlin? - Mylene called him - What are we waiting for?
- Just a minute, Miss Mylene - he asked her - I don't like it. I think we should wait before...
- I don't see why, Mr. Gamlin - Mylene replied - I won't miss him like last time, because I was too late.
- Miss Mylene!
*****
- OK guys. I know you don't have any sense of humour. So let me go!
- As I said before, it's impossible - Ali answered.
Basara sighed loudly: - OK, OK... But at least tell me what do you plan to do with me?
As a matter of fact, Basara was right to ask in that way. Someone else would think these guys have really weirdo plans, because he was straped down to a surgery table. And he was not a big fan of horror tales.
- As your rate of rejection of our usual emo-nullify field is too high, we have to apply a more intense amplitude locally upon you.
- Turning me a Dumb-tumb? Oh thanks you very much, pal! - but Basara's reply didn't annoy Ali.
- Now it's up to D@ta$ - Ali concluded finishing to fix Basara.
- Up to who? - Basara asked - I thought you would personally apply the "treatment" in me.
- No - Ali answered - I don't have the knowledge to do so. Only D@ta$ can do it.
- Wait a minute - Basara asked - I thought D@ta$ were only a computer.
- That's right - Ali answered - Why do you ask?
- Oh... nothing... - was Basara's answer.
*****
- That's right, Miss Mylene - Gamlin explained - that's a very harmful eletromagnetic emission from that planet.
- So one more reason to hurry up - Mylene said tapping her Valkyrie's controls nervously - that thing can hurt Basara!
- I know - Gamlin agreed thoughtfully - but the problem is that emission only afects brain's electrochemical signals.
- What? - Mylene seemed confuse.
He asked his computer to send data to Mylene's monitor.
- It means that we'll not be able to think properly - Gamlin answered a bit worried.
*****
- I was right then... So you are D@ta$. - Basara said grinning.
- HoW dId yOu knOw? - asked D@ta$.
- A perfect world doesn't run forever without good maintance. - Basara answered.
- ThaT's whY thEn - D@ta$ agreed - So whY yOu cAn't yOu sEe yOu haVe tO accEpt thIs?
- Hm?
- ThIs worLd is in peaCe as it shouLd be frOm the staRt - D@ta$ explained - With no wiLd emotiOns runNing oUt Of contrOll theRe's no wAr, no paIn, no...
- No fun... how boring... I don't mind you or your perfect world. Just let me go!
- SoOn peoPle wOuld disCover us iF yOu leAve - D@ta$ sighed - caN't You sEe it? ThEy wouLd inVade us, thiNkIng we are a eaSy tarGet to conQuer. ThEy...
- If you have that worries then you have no peace at all... - Basara said it seriously - The most precious peace comes from your mind and heart. If you don't have it, all you have is a joke. But never mind that, you already know it! You are just too stubborn to admit it.
- Why yOu caN't sEe it? - D@ta$ askEd exaspErated - If yOu onLy...
- No. You are the one who don't understand, little girl - Basara interrupted the teenager girl who was D@ta$ - I don't know who told you such lies, but this toy's world won't work. If it did why should you be here? Why should you been talking to me?
The girl lost her speech. Basara answered:
- Because you're to dawned alone, sweetheart. That's terrible to be alone in a world full of people. If you don't talk to people sometimes it is sure way to go crazy. That's why it doesn't work. Because without maintenance this world cracks down. But the zelator have to know what is to feel, have to know what is an emotion in order to prevent and "neutralize" it.
- They are dead, you know it! - Basara exploded - that's why you have to talk to me. That's why you can't talk to them! You are killing them supressing their feelings. They are empty, just like broken toys.
- ThaT's Not tRue! - D@ta$ replied - ThEy breAth, thEy eat, thEy haVe children...
- How many children? - Basara asked - What's the point to "make" children? That's it isn't it? If YOU don't say it to them, they would not "make" children at all!
- I-I...
- How much different are they from a cow? Or a chicken? - Basara asked - They are all the same... that's not true, they are worse. They don't dream nor feel... They don't mind with each other at all!
*****
It was useless, Gamlin knew it. But he could not allow Mylene to go alone.
They soon discovered that the field didn't affect their normal reasoning. But Mylene soon discovered what was wrong.
- Until now I was upset, Mr. Gamlin - she said - now it's like I can not feel angry at all...
The field affected their emotional status! To have a Mylene emotionless was a clear sight of it.
But how to scape from their effects? Again Mylene without even thinking found the answer. She only shaked her head as to remember she WAS really upset with Basara. And then she started to sing:
*... jikan ugomeki machi wo
Tonight tonight...*
Once she sang that song very upset. The beat of the music was quick enough to make company to her heart that time.
*...moyase! Karada no...*
The song increased her "spiritia" then. Now it was helping them again. "Spiritia" is soul, but yet is heart as Basara always sang. From heart comes strenght only if you feel.
And if you care.
*... don't look back again! Furimuku na!...*
And together we can walk to the future.
*****
- WhAt's thaT? - asked D@ta$ startled.
- Heh Mylene is singing. - Basara recognized the song and feelings of the girl amplified by her Valkyrie.
That was true. While he was singing, the field didn't affect him. Only when he stopped and tried to understand this world, the field started to work.
And that's why D@ta$ feared him: he could nullify the emo-whatever field.
*Sa hajimaruze Saturday Night..*
- WhaT? - D@ta$ asked surprised.
*Tyoushi ha doudai?*
- Shut uP. - she ordered.
*Stand up... Beat wo kanjiteru kai?*
- I saId sHut up! - she commanded to no avail. As her orders weren't being obeyed, D@ta$ made something she never understood. She shut up him with her own mounth!
And then, the roof cracked as if Doom itself presented to this world. As if it was the end of the world. And then...
- BASARA! - cried a very familiar voice through the Speaker Pods of Mylene's Valkyrie.
*****
As D@ta$ foresaw, the planet without the emo-nullify field became chaos itself. Ali was wrong: they were yet under the effects of the field. Only they were so used to be tammed for so long time... that they thought they had no emotions left.
As children they were fighting over small and big thinks. No one could be mature enough to handle their own emotions. They never had to before.
- It's a pity that a world so peaceful ended like that - Mylene sighed.
- They were never in peace. - Basara spoke abruptly.
- What? - Mylene asked surprised.
- Basara is right, Miss Mylene - Gamlin agreed - There's no peace only supressing yourself. "One to have peace must have to control itself."
- Hum? - Mylene and Basara turned to the militar pilot.
- That's something I've heard when I was at high school - Gamlin explained embarassed.
- Heh - Basara smiled - You said it, pal!
Epilogue
I can't believe. He kissed that girl! He KISSED that girl! Jeaulous? I'm not jealous! But after all we went through, all the worries I and Mr. Gamlin had... only to find him kissing that girl. Sure that it wasn't because he or she wanted to be kissing (now I understand) but... I had so many things to say, to ask. Not only because of him and Mr. Gamlin, but other thinks, important things. But now I'm all messed up again, I can not think or speak without yelling at him, even if I try very hard to control myself, because he comes with that "what's wrong" face and I know that he doesn't understand what's is wrong, and...Ohhhhh!!!
How come Basara can be so stupid sometimes? I wonder if he plays dumb... no that was not playing. He didn't understand what Miss Mylene feels towards him and... What? It means that she... and I... I mean Miss Mylene and I... She... but Basara... and me...
I doN't knoW whY I dId thAt. He felT soO soFt aNd... goOd... thAt's whY the ancIents TolD me to bE carEful. EvEn whEn hIs mountH was shUt, I couLd heAr him. AnD heAr morE... His heArt beaTing, anD the musIc danCing in FronT oF me. BuT he was riGht: wE haD no peaCe, no perFect worLd. OnlY theIr comiNg was Enough for evErything to craCk down... We haVe to do iT again... in the riGht way this time. ThAnks, Basara. I guess I'll never forget you.
....
Oh, boy. Can anybody explain me what's the deal with brats? Now what, Gamlin?

Author final comments: (or "you can pass this part")
I... didn't understand at all!
Welcome to the club!
Why so short? Two chapters? Come on!
I don't have patience to write a Bible. I won't write
without anything worth to say.
It's a critic about our world?
Understand it as you please. I only wrote it for fun.
This time you maintained the original japanese words!
Sure! I never translate songs. But as I put it as I remember
I'm not sure if I wrote them right, heh...
When I think Mylene will set up her mind about Gamlin and
Basara, you do that!
Yep. Am I not devious?
What's the meaning of the title?!? What happened to the music?!?
I don't know! I can't sing here! I can only write! Understand the title
as you please!
YOU MADE MY BASARA TO BE KISSED BY THAT ALIEN GIRL WITH NO NAME!
Yep. But as usual, Basara didn't take that too personally. You should
follow his example.
My head aches! That WriTting made my head spin! I hate that!
I'm sure that D@ta$ will learn to speak better. After all, she is only a
teenager.
Why to make comments if you only talk nonsense!?
Because nonsense is my second name, heh.
Thank you for reading.
