Again- great response- keep it up- the more comments I get the faster I type :)
To those who see the Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star references- you know your anime :) I like both of those shows.
But more importantly: Spike person is dreamy * Kate, wearing her CB tee shirt (with Spike on it) stares at her Spike action figure while hugging her Spike doll with wall scroll of Spike is in the background… SPIKE! *Drooling* OK! So I am obsessed with Spike! I know I have a problem people! But can you blame me? It's Spike (with David Lucas/Steven Jay Blum voice!!!!)
Anyway- back to story- "Focus!"
A friend who has read the entire story says its "Like Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star and Castle in the Sky on crack…"
Is that a good thing, I ask you???? Either way I'm enjoying myself, I hope you are :)
Disclaimer: Third verse same as the first!
Chapter 3
The girl with Crimson Eyes
-
"A girl?" Matt asked again.
"Yeah, a girl." Tai said. "She was heavily sedated and malnourished. Not to mention she was badly beaten…"
"The poor thing." Mimi said.
"But what's so important about her?" Izzy pondered.
"Maybe we should ask him." TK suggested. "That fugitive that had her locked up like that."
"Something tells me he's not going to help us." Kari said.
"We can try." TK added as the group all walked over to the brig.
"So Daisuke was it?" Tai started.
"Yes, but you can call me Davis." The fugitive said.
Tai, Matt and the rest of the crew come closer to the cell where Davis stood behind translucent laser wall.
"Ok Davis. Tell me this- what were you doing with that girl?" Matt asked stepping up to the wall. He already had a problem with this guy's style. 'A smart mouthed punk kid was all this Davis really was.' He thought. The only reason he got to be such a famous criminal was because his group had destroyed a highly secretive garrison outpost a while back and now this stunt.
"What does it look like?" The prisoner answered smugly. "We rescued her from that guy's department."
"By the looks of things you weren't just 'rescuing' her." Joe said calmly.
"She sustained the majority of the burses in the transport process. Everything else is what THEY did to her." Davis replied.
"Ok- if we would buy that load of BS story- why sedate her and chain her to the wall like Tai found her?" Kari madly asked. "No one deserved to be treated like she was."
"Well beautiful, that's simple. I'd love to discuss it with you… personally." Davis winked. But after getting an even more hostile response, especially from the TK, he continued. "She'd break out and kill us all if we let her get back to full strength."
"Full strength?" Izzy questioned.
"She may look human- but she's far from normal. She's the last survivor of a race of humanoids. You boss' organization teamed up with the patrol forces and slaughtered the whole lot a while back. But he decided to do a double cross and kept one just in case."
"Why would they want to kill off a whole race of people?" Mimi asked.
"Like I said, they're not your average type of people. Their cells are infused with an energy that lies dormant in normal humans like you and me. But if you don't believe me, just wait till she wakes up. But I'd be careful. She's been caged her whole life and doesn't really enjoy or trust human company." Turning back to Kari. "But I, on the other hand would much enjoy some company."
-
"Do you buy his story?" Izzy asked Tai who was deep in thought sitting in his captain's chair.
Deep down he did for some reason, maybe it was those dreams that he'd been having.
Davis' story matched with some of the images he had seen, and the girl looked exactly like the one in them too. Except he hadn't seen her eyes yet… could it all be just some big coincidence?
"I don't know- I'm going to go to sick bay and check on her status." Tai said as he left the bridge.
-
Her eyes slowly opened. Everything looked different and ominous. Her eyes wandered around the large open room. Some sort of medical laboratory again. She felt weak as she began to move her arms - finding she was no longer bound. Something else was different. She wasn't cold or naked anymore. And the bed she was placed on was soft, warm and clean. Covering her bruised body was a shirt. She sniffed at it and found the sent rather enjoyable for some unknown reason.
Her keen hearing picked up on footsteps coming from outside the room. She was startled at this.
'More doctors?' She worried. Being too weak to fight them off again… she knew she would break soon. But she still didn't know exactly what these people where after.
The sound grew louder and she decided the best thing to do was play dead.
She quickly shut her eyes and relied on her sense of hearing.
-
The doors swished open and he entered. Everything looked exactly the same as when he lad left. Tai was a little afraid she would wake and cause problems like Davis had warned them.
He slowly walked over to the bed she was resting on.
'Still asleep.' He thought as he tucked a strand of her hair off her face. Tai thought he felt her twitch, but dismissed it as just his nerves.
-
But she had indeed flinched at his touch. But for some unknown reason his touch was different from the doctors and soldiers who had looked after her before. She had expected a slap or something from him- but instead she was confused at his touch. For reasons she couldn't fathom, she allowed him to look at her wounds. He applied fresh bandages to some of the worse injuries.
There was something mysterious about this person- she sensed a kindness in him. This was something she had hardly ever felt in people ever before.
Trying not to tense up anymore- she heard more footsteps outside the hall.
She laid still as another person entered the room.
"I thought you'd be here." A masculine voice said.
"Yeah. I just wanted to see if she was alright." The first man said as he continued to bandage her arm.
"Taichi- what do you think about what the guy said?"
"I'm not sure Joe… but for some reason I can't help but believe that Davis guy."
"But don't we have to bring her back to Gallawano?"
The instant she heard that name she reacted. Her eyes snapped open and she pushed both startled men away from her with an unseen force.
She quickly squatted on her legs and assumed a cat-like fighting stance.
Her eyes heated with the prospect of returning to the research facility. 'Never-' She decided. They would have to kill her than get her back into that hell…
