Uchuujisan…
Slight amber illuminates the quarters of Dita Liebely. Our current epitome of jollity is grazing into the black garden of space on her bed. Her "garden" is fulfilled with various spherical flowers. Some have rings to them while others have smaller flowers attached to them. The color ranges vary differently. Some in plain hues, while others exhibit flashy tones. Overall a beautiful sight to behold. For Dita they are just views to be seen. Her patented smile has vanished and has been replaced with a desponded atmosphere. This view only offers Dita a momentary reprieve. A short lapse away from her discontent in her life. The last two years have been taxing for the scarlet goddess. Although to Dita, two years seemed to pass in a blink of an eye for her. Then again when someone freezes his or her heart, time stops altogether. The moment he "won" for them was the very moment her heart shattered. For Dita, his proof to others was too much to bear.
Why?
All of the crew of the Nirvana felt Dita's loss for him. Yanking Dita from her isolation became an arduous task. Comforting, coaxing, conversing, pleading, demanding and ordering Dita failed miserably. Pai-wei's unwavering friendship, Barrnett's persuasions, Ezra's chats, Misty's implores, Jura's requests, and Meia's tasks all cannot break Dita's shell. She seemed to build a wall from the physical world and imprisoned herself within. She still normally functions physically. Although Pyoro-kun exhibits more human qualities except for tears that is…
Baka Uchuujisan!
The last two years for Dita had been not in wallowing in sorrow. Rather, she was forced to perform various jobs. Primary, she worked under Meia as support wingman. Patrolling and "help" train the new dread fighters. Occaisonally Jura and Barrnett require her assistance in the migration process. She would do odd jobs such as escorting shuttles and supply ships.
Her attraction to him was best illustrated during her conversation with Misty before the onslaught. Her desire to be with him could not, would not, and never be described in mere words. Their bond together was something felt rather then thought of. Her external surface clearly mirrored her internal state. Being alive to her meant being close to him. Just to be close…
Focusing upon her surroundings, she returns to a conversation long over drawn. She keeps asking the same questions hoping to get a different answer. In hope, he is right there laughing, eating, or running away. She just wanted him to come back. Back to where he belong. He back to her, to them three, and to everyone. He connected everyone together. He connected her to being alive…
'Why did he have to win?' It was for survival that's why. 'Why could not have ended happily?' Because it's not possible. 'I want to go back before!' Destiny won't let you…
Leave me alone,
Just leave me alone
Nothing is going to change
You could go away
I'm just going to stay here and always be the
Same…
Roughly speaking 104 weeks before…
…Happy endings do not happen most of time…
"Dita don't come!"
The blue pexis modified dread is flung back violently towards it sisters. The blue, red, and white transformed dreads hover close to red barrier. Within the wall, a yellow clashed with white bangata is desperately trying to contain the wormhole. One hand pushing into the machine while other sits limply. All while a ranging war between earth born and its "parts" fight for superiority in the background.
"It's okay…I actually want to do this for you guys" the boy uttered with a solemn face.
"Uchuujisan…please let Dita help." cries the ruby romantic with diamonds falling freely from her face.
"Don't you dare do this, you'll give me wrinkles!" bellows the golden beauty with a panic-stricken expression on her face.
"Are you running away? I won't let you!" vehemently spats the azure rival with ominous features engraved on her face.
"Minna, thanks for everything and take care…Gomen ne…" pronounces confidently and then gently with a smile…
Four spherical blue fires ignite from the rear of the bangata. The silver cylinder is further push into itself as the vacuum increases in intensity. The green eyes of bangata illuminate fiercely and the four fires escalate even greater. The vacuum stops abruptly. The fighting in the background gradually ceases. All is still…
Anyone who was a combatant or spectator will tell you various views of that event. Most will say the boy saved everyone by sacrificing himself. Others will comment upon purplish shadows within the red wall that consumed the boy. A few will say a bright light flashed then nothing but space that followed there after. All will say though they heard the shout, the scream, and the sob that filled the air. Most though could not tell who made the noise from but all knew whom it was intended for…
…The wormhole ship begins to tremble and its surface plates rip off violently. The bangata strains within but a green glow outline the body. A sudden green radiance surrounds the ship and the red bubble expands. Unexpectedly darkness devours the green glow and the bangata is surrounded slowly. The darkness slowly slithers the bangata as if it is being constricted. A purplish glow finally confines the contours of the bangata…
Oh Kami…
This not is happening…
Let him go, please let him go!
Please make it stop…
Just stop it!
Stop it!
…Don't please…
An emerald spark ignites space and all that is left is nothing. The wormhole device is gone and it seemed to implode unto itself. However, it took a something that it should not have.
Hibiki Tokai disappeared along with it…
Dita wailed.
Jura shrieked..
Meia weeped …
All three lost it that day…
Author notes: Hot damn, hope you guys enjoyed that. This took me a while to think up. I wanted to show Hibiki's disappearance differently as you would expect. Overall you could see where I'm going with this. I really enjoyed Vandread, even its not serious anime flick, it still invoke to feelings out of the audience. This scene happens at the end of the 2nd stage. For those who have seen it, you know what happened. For those who don't, shame on you! Go find out what happened. I.E. Watch it!!! I don't really know right now for the pairing of couples. (Hint again) As for the next chapter, I don't really know what to do yet, so… Read and critique please. Have a good day or night.
