VANDREAD: The World After
Chapter 7: Florante at Laura (Florante and Laura...)
"Hibiki dear..."
"Yes... Lady Cromwell..."
"How was last night?"
"Terrific..."
"Do you love me Hibiki..."
"Yes..."
"Good..."
***
It has been a month since the abduction of Hibiki and Misty. The crew is still down from the experience. Meia, which is a month pregnant, mostly spends her time at the radar room…
"Where are they?", Meia, since the incident, has been dedicated to look for Hibiki.
Then, the boss came.
"Boss?"
"Meia, take a rest. Let Parfet do the work."
"Thanks…"
***
I can't hear his voice…
A warrior's voice has faded…
He has been seduced…
The Black Raven…
***
"Lorenzo!"
"Yes, my lady?"
"Is 'it' ready?"
"Yes. Your… um… dr-…"
"Dread, Lorenzo! It is a dread!"
"Um… yes… it is ready… as Muna would have planned it."
"Prepare to intercept Nirvana."
"Yes, my lady."
Lady Cromwell grins through the silhouette.
"Hibiki dear…"
"Yes, my lady?"
"Ready your Vanguard."
***
There is hope…
A new warrior will rise…
He will rescue him…
He will also harness…
The power of the Red Claw…
***
"Boss! A ship just appeared at our stern!", Ezra reported.
"BC. It is the same ship! Change the shield signature! I won't have anyone gone again!"
"Roger.", BC replied.
"Gasco! Prepare a rescue team. Hibiki and Misty might still be there."
"Roger!", Gasco replied.
"Boss, I will be at the Hangar Bay."
"No Meia! You are carrying a child. I don't care if you want to rescue Hibiki. He would also like to see you just here, at the bridge. Take a station Meia."
"Roger", then Meia smiled.
"Boss! They are trying to communicate with us."
"Anpatos ship, identify yourself. And why you have taken two of my crew?", Magno demanded.
The screen was empty until a man appeared.
"This is Lorenzo, messenger of Muna. This is the ship THE VULTURE. Our leader has desired to communicate with you."
"Who is your leader?"
Just then, the front hangar bay of The Vulture, a different looking smaller ship appeared.
"I've been expecting you…"
"That voice!", Meia recognized.
***
"Misty! What the hell are you doing there?"
"Meia. This is my dread."
"I don't care about your dread."
"You will now… HIBIKI!"
Just when Meia heard those precious words, another machine came out of The Vulture's hangar bay. It was the Vanguard.
"Hibiki – chan, it is me, Meia!".
Hibiki didn't reply.
"He will never listen to you again Meia.", Misty replied.
"Hibiki, let's unite!", Misty ordered Hibiki.
Just then the dread and the vanguard united. It looked like a fusion of Dita, Jura, and Meia's Vandreads.
Then the communication screen opened again. Meia was shocked of the sight. Hibiki was covered with wires controlling the Vandread and Misty seductively embracing Hibiki with her eyes looking at Meia.
"Tell me, Hibiki. Who is the one you love?", Misty asked.
"I…"
"I…"
Meia waited for that voice for so long…
"love…"
"…"
"you… Misty…"
After those words, there was silence on the crew of Nirvana. There can be nothing to be heard except for tears… Meia's tears…
