For those who really didn't pay too much attention to the summary: This is a separate story from the last one, so it not going to take up where the other one left off. So please don't write that this makes no sense for that reason. Dratini!! Oh yeah, thanks! I almost forgot, please remember to read and review.
Story 2 of 3
A Cat's Tale
(Hanmyo's POV)
"I hate this," I yelled to an empty cockpit. You see I'm normally with my two guardians, Kemi and Mata, but they had gone inside their ship like grappler arms to battle that other spaceship. So at the moment I was alone.
"MEOOOOOW," one of the speakers in the ship screeched as a small screen appeared on my monitor. A cat in a tiny bubble glared at me as I find myself smiling helplessly.
The cat than yelled as she stared at the screen inside her bubble. "We almost had them!"
"Kemi, calm down," I chuckled silently to myself. It was funny to watch Kemi on the screen when she gets mad, because of the fact that she would puff up her fur so that she looks like a huge hairball.
"Don't sweat it," another voice purred as second screen appeared on my monitors with yet another cat speaker," we'll get them next time."
"Next time!" Kemi screeched," Mata are you stupid!" "They're probably light years away from here by now."
"No way!" Mata yelled back," Did you see how much ammunition they used and how much damage that ship took?" "That the most wanted ship in the galaxy at the moment and only a complete fool would be riding around in it in that condition without any fire power, so I would guess that they would stop at the nearest spaceport."
Kemi went silent as his words sunk in.
"Geez, I guess it's up to me to find out what the nearest spaceport is," I teased. You see even in defeat I never really got into a bad mood. Things could have turn out much worst, and besides it was only a simple matter of locating and capturing that ship.
"Ok, here it is," I announced as the two grappler arms reattached themselves to the ship, and the cats' bubbles were redeposit on the sides of me. "They have gone to Sympa 5."
"Good now look up the information on who the crew members are." Kemi demanded.
"Why don't you do it yourself," I yelled back at her. I swear that she sometimes made me so mad at her for ordering me around like that, but even though we fight a lot I always remember that she would die to protect me. That normally takes away the anger as I glared at her as she began to lick her paw without the slightest bit of concern.
"Well, I would if I had fingers," she retorted once I had look away as the bubble open up and she leaped out.
"Damn it, Kemi, just shut up," Mata stated protectively.
I smiled at him as he exited his bubble. He always defended me from her when she got too sassy. That was why I have always like him best.
Mata then winked at me as he hops upon my console, and then meowed," Sisters!" So, I reached up and rubbed his head, and then I began my typing as I search for information on the crewmembers of the Outlaw Star.
"Ok, here it is! There are five members on that ship, so first off is the captain Gene Starwind, a bounty hunter. He easily distinguished by his Flaming red hair and Star shape tattoo. He uses a Castor Gun. Aisha ClanClan a Ctarl-Ctarl upper class, she always wears a bell around her neck and normally wears her silver colored hair in a single long braid. She is extremely strong. Starlight Suzaka, an assassin, she is easily recognized for the fact that she seems to always wear the same outfit. She carries a wooden bokken. Melfina, a bio-android, little is really known about her, and the only info we got is this picture below."
"Meow!" Kemi replied calmly.
"Yeah, I probably should print out a copy of that photo, and finally the last member of the Outlaw Star is Jim Hawking!" I froze in my seat as I stared at the name on the screen as though it would disappear if I blink. A tear sprung to my eyes as I turn away from the name; quickly I wipe it away on my sleeve. I didn't want my guardian to see me cry, because to them that is the ultimate sign of weakness, but I failed as Mata hissed.
"What is wrong?"
"Nothing," I said trying to hid the fact that I wanted to cry.
"Don't play games with me, Hanmyo," Mata yelled with an air of authority as he turns to face me," that was a tear."
"What the little baby wants her bottle," Kemi laugh as she yawn and stretch herself out on the floor.
"Shut up, Kemi," Mata snap at her. "Now what is wrong?"
At this point, I just gave up trying to stop it and cried openly in front of them. This of course was met with a near-miss stratch to my face as Mata clawed at me angrily.
"Stop it and tell me what is wrong!" Mata yelled at me.
"I-I-it just that I'm so happyyyyy!" I shierk loudly.
"What in the hell," Kemi mused as she stared at me.
"I'm--m--m not alone anymore!" I beamed as a very confused looking Kemi approached my chair and with the same amazing grace that enchants me everytime I watch them she leapt up to the console and sat beside Mata.
"What in the hell is wrong with her?" she looked at him.
"Damn if I know, but I do know how to find out!" He looked at me as I sat in the chair. I was now laughing and crying wildly as I look again at the name on the screen.
