Games Without Frontiers
Chapter 7: 01 vs. 04
By LadyRivka
NOTE: if you didn't read the lemon (under the separate listing "Obsession=Kibernetes"), 17 and Becky hooked up and "did it" under the watchful eye of Zyzyx. That is all, so you don't feel lost. L.R.
Wow.
That was the first word that crossed Becky's mind when she woke up the next morning. She had only gotten two hours of sleep because she and Juunanagou had made love most of that night, about an hour in the mating chamber, and several more in each other's quarters, away from the prying eyes of Zyzyx.
She was just simply amazed that 1.) she "made it" with someone she thought was only a fictional character (and a damn hot one to boot), and 2.) losing her virginity was a rather pleasant experience for her, as 17 was very, ahem, skilled around women.
Unfortunately, she bade him leave because her body couldn't stand much more. She needed her rest, and he needed to practice for the match against Alita. So they went their separate ways for the night.
She got out of her bed groggily, pulled on her uniform, and went down to the stands to cheer for her raven-haired lover.
Becky arrived in the middle of the match, unfortunately, and Juunana was losing by one point, four to three. But she sat there and prayed, hoping God would keep him around for another day.
And God seemingly responded. Alita tried in vain to get the ball into her goal, but Juunana was putting up good defense and just outright confusing his opponent. In no time, the score was four to six, Juunanagou winning.
Alita held her head as the audience cheered, "EX-PLODE! EX-PLODE!!" The judges pressed a button, and Alita heard a soft hum. It intensified into a loud din, threatening to tear her apart. All she could do was scream in the instant before her head exploded, brains splattering about the 6ixball "cube".
Alita woke with a start. She was underneath the city of Tiphares, looking up, as if the city were destiny itself. But she still wondered where Doc Ido was, and if he was still taking care of that rat bastard Jashugan. She wandered towards her home in the Scrapyard, hoping Ido was there… and Jashugan was not.
Back at the space station…
Juunanagou was slightly taxed from his victory. He sat down in the stands as all the aliens were leaving, head heavy in his palms. He felt a light tap on his shoulder...
It was Rivka Kibernetes, the only other woman besides Arale Norimaki (his wife) that 17 could be said to be utterly infatuated with.
"How was last night?" she asked.
"Wonderful," he smirked. "Absolutely amazing. Too bad we're going to have to think of each other as mortal enemies from now on…"
"Yes, and if you ever want to return to where you were, I'm going to have to kill you. It won't be easy, though… from what I saw you beat the odds against Alita."
A look of shock crossed Juunanagou's face. "K-Kill me?"
Becky snickered. "It's the only way to get you home. And if you become the new 6ixall champion, I die. Period. No alternate-dimension bodies. Nothing. I'm sorry… all your hard work will be in vain."
Juunanagou, not wanting to hear any of this nonsense, marched back up to his chambers.
Meanwhile, in the DB universe….
Cipu Norimaki, 17's android daughter, was running around in the forest, climbing trees and running wildly, shooting energy blasts at any random thing that happened to cross her path.
…Until she saw her unconscious father.
She just glared at him, begging her daddy to wake up, screaming when he wouldn't…
What was wrong with Daddy? A being who would be 5 years old for all eternity would never understand what death or deactivation was, as it would damage her circuitry to hear of such things.
She ran into the cabin, sobbing, waiting for Mommy to get home from work.
TO BE CONTINUED….
