'Thoughts'

Chaotic Angel

Chapter one

*chaos' POV*

*~*~*~*~*~

'It's so dark. Where am I?' Shaking my head, I looked around. Everything is so blurry. I looked to my left to see about five figures, but they weren't very distinguishing. Looking ahead, I saw… the Zohar? 'Where am I?! …A Gnosis?!' Suddenly, I saw a flash of red. One of the figures were hit. It was obviously a girl considering her long, blue hair. But that's all I could make out. It was so fuzzy…. She hit the ground, blood pooling…..

*~*~*~*~*~

I sat up quickly, breathing hard. 'A dream? Iie, a nightmare. But what did it mean?' I brushed away the cold sweat that had formed on my brow. Just then, I heard yelling. "That's probably Hammer and Tony fighting again." I told myself, getting out of bed. It was when I heard a female voice that I became curious. See, there were only three other men on the ship: Hammer, Captain Matthews, and Tony. I stood, leaving cabin 1 and going straight, the doors that led to the bridge opened as I walked.

"You don't believe I'll do it, do you? I'm serious, you know!" Alarm began blaring.

"Ahhh! She's really gonna do it!!"

"Why not help her?" I asked, yawning as I enter. "Sounds like she means it."

"Hey, chaos. You're up," Captain said. I turned towards him, shrugging.

"With all this racket, who could sleep?" I began walking over to him. "What's going on?"

"Ahhh….just stuff," he answered, resting his arm around my shoulders. I pointed towards the green-eyed girl on the com-screen.

"Who's that?"

"No idea."

"You aren't going to leave her, are you? Can't we go pick her up?"

"Up to her,' he said, jerking his head toward the blue-haired girl behind me. I spun around and walked over to her.

"So, is that okay with you?" She just stared at me. "Well, it looks like she doesn't have any objections. So its all up to you, Captain. What do you say? I think we ought to rescue them."

"Ahhh….if you say so. Sure, I don't mind." Smiling because I knew he'd agree, I waved to the blonde pilot.

"Tony?"

---

"Please excuse us…."

"Well, I'm Captain Matthews."

"I'm Shion Uzuki and I'm from Vector Industries. This is my co-worker, Allen Ridgeley.

"Hi…."

"Allen, show some gratitude."

"Arigato gizimasu. We would've died because of my stubborn boss here….. ITAI!!" Shion cleared her throat. It was then I realized she'd stepped on his foot.

"You ought to be savin' your thanks for chaos over there. We were just going to leave." Shion looked over at me.

"Sou desu ka." She then came over and took my hand. "Arigato….chaos."

"Iie, don't mention it. After all, we all need a little help sometimes."

"Yeah, he often saves our hides, too. So…we can't turn him down when he asks for a favor."

"Sou desu ka. That reminds me. Hey, KOS-MOS! What did you think you were doing? How could you think of leaving us and going to Second Miltia by yourself! Maybe your OS is malfunctioning or something."

"That could be true."

"What were the orders from HQ anyway?"

"Captain Matthews, may I use the maintenance lab near the hanger to recharge my energy reserves?"

"KOS-MOS!?!" I couldn't help but chuckle. KOS-MOS was ignoring her. This was interesting.

"Sure. You'll pay the bill, ne?"

"Hai."

"KOS-MO—"

"Shion."

"U-uh….yeah?"

"My sensors appear to be malfunctioning. Please adjust them before we disembark."

"W-why should I?"

"Please… it's your job, isn't it?" I watched KOS-MOS left. Shion then sighed and apologized for her behavior.

"It's alright. I'm actually enjoying it. It's much livelier with more crew members."

"Tell me about it. We can ALWAYS use more women," Tony said, walking over to Shion. My eye caught Allen fidget as Tony took her hand. "So how 'bout it? Once we arrive, how about you and me settle in with a nice bottle of wine." Shion shifted nervously.

"Uh…uh.. sure," she wasn't exactly sure.

"H-HEEY!!!" Allen, of course. I could tell he liked her. Then again, who couldn't.

"Enough, Tony. At least she's real. The other one's a weapon."

"You think so, huh? She seems like any other human to me," I said, looking at the door she had walked out of. Suddenly, there was a flash and I saw the girl with blue hair falling again. Blood everywhere. 'Blood? If that's her she wouldn't be able to bleed, ne? She's an android.' I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard a loud bang.

"G… G.. Gn.. Gno…."

"Gnosis!"

"It's coming in!!"

"Son of a bitch!" The Commander yelled as he opened fire only to soon find it useless. Jumping down, the Gnosis grabbed him.

"chaos!" I looked at the Captain, nodding.

"I know." I walked in front of it.

"chaos!"

"Don't worry, Shion." Turning quickly, I raised my arm, stopping the Gnosis from grabbing me. Smiling to myself, I reached up and touched it, causing it to dissolve. The Commander hit the ground, gasping for breath.

"T-the Gnosis…"

"What did he just… do?"

"That's what I meant when I said he takes care of us."

"But… how did he…. I've never heard of a human that can defeat Gnosis." I cut in at this point.

"I believe everyone has at least one skill they exceed over all others. You know, something that defines them. Shion, what defines you?"

"Well…. I…"

"Like me, it's just something I can do." I turned towards the Captain. "Well, we better get going before she throws us off the ship. That girl has a stickler for schedules."

"Yeah… Damn… I wanted to go to Keltia to see the Serephim Sisters after all this."

"Oh, boy," Tony started.

"You know, all you have to do is hook up to the U.M.N Link and watch it later," Hammer explained.

"Ya moron, it's not the same. It's all about reality. Damn…."

"Well, anyway," I cut in, "I'll show the others to there rooms."

"Arigato," they replied from behind me.

"Yeah, you go do that. Damn, this has been one hell of a day…" I chuckle, turning to our new guests.

 "Shall we?"

---

As I showed them around the ship, I kind of studied them. Shion seemed to be very sweet but as she proved before she can be demanding when she wants to be. Allen seems to be the nervous type. Then again, he hasn't talked much so it was hard to tell. It was too quiet….

"So, why don't you guys tell me about yourselves?"

"Oh… well, Allen and I are from Vector Industries First R&D Divisions. We were part of creating KOS-MOS."

"Honto? That seems very time consuming."

"Tell that to my nii-san. Maybe he'll listen to you."

"You're nii-san?" Allen interjected.

"Hai. He wants me to come visit him when I can," she said with a sigh. I walked up to the counter and leaned against it, facing them.

"Well, you guys hungry?" Allen seemed to brighten.

"After all that happened I never thought I was going to be able to eat again." I raised an eyebrow in question. Shion seemed to have noticed.

"None of our crew members have been able to relax lately. We had data work due and then with the Gnosis showing up…." I nodded at this point, understanding. "What about you, chaos? We'd like to learn more about you." I was hoping they would forget to ask about that. I didn't want to talk about myself.

"Oh, come on, Shion. You didn't give Allen a chance."

"Allen?"

"Me?" I nodded. "Well, uh… I guess the Chief summed it up for now." I smiled.

"You seem rather nervous…" I let it hang. Then, just before Allen could say something, I added, "So… what would you guys like? I'm pretty sure my cooking's okay."

"I'll cook if you'd like," Shion offered.

"But you're a guest…" I interjected.

"Nonsense. I'd love to."

"Well, if you insist." There really was no point in arguing.
