A/N: I would like to say thanx to Dark Angel, Lord Cirenmas, weskersgurl, Kei-kun, Angel-chan and Angel-chan, I noticed it was like that a bit but I was half asleep when I put this up. Arigato for telling me. (It's fixed, ne? *sweatdrop*) Well, I hope you guys like this chapter as much as you liked the last.

Disclaimer: I already told you… I don't own it…… *sob* Namco does.

NOTE: Again I'll say that it has a lot of spoilers but its necessary for the fic.

'Thoughts'

Chaotic Angel

Chapter 2

Soon the whole crew, sans the Commander and KOS-MOS, were eating dinner.

"Chief, this is great!"

"Arigato, Allen."

"Ahhh…. it's okay."

"Demo….. Captain, you're stuffing your face," I pointed out. He glared at me a bit.

"Ahhh…. Hush…" He held out his glass to Shion. "Water."

"Hai." Taking it, she refilled it. As she gave it back, I cut in,

"You poor thing."

"Oh, don't worry. I'm used to this. No thanks to my nii-san. All he does is read those old books he'd found. He's so weird sometimes."

"Water."

"Hai."

"Uhhh…. Chief? Can I… have some water, too, please?" Allen asked nervously.

'At least he's nice about it,' I thought, eyeing the Captain who was still stuffing his face.

"Oh, gomen nasai. I didn't see you there." Allen frowned.

"Didn't…. see me…"

"Shion…" She looked toward me.

"H-hai?"

"Could you tell me about KOS-MOS?"

"Uhhh… well… let's see…"

"She's a 100-Series Observational Realien," Allen cut in.

"Hai. But she's an android unlike other Realiens. A complete machine," Shion finished.

"Hmmm…." I leaned on my elbows. 'Then what was with that dream?' Feeling everyone staring at me brought me back to reality. "N-nani?"

"You okay, chaos?" It was Captain Matthews.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Doushite?" He kept staring at me and for the time on this ship, I felt nervous. "Honto. I'm fine." I stood at this point. "I'm going to lay down." I left before anything else was said.

*Normal POV*

Shion turned toward Matthews.

"Was that unusual for him?"

"Definitely."

"Yeah, it's my job to space out," Tony joked.

"He's always so calm and clear-headed. But I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of ti, Cap." Hammer said from his seat at the bar.

"I don't know…. So…. any idea why that android wants to go to Second Milita?"

"Not at all. But she can't act on her own."

"I still can't believe she was willing to leave us out there or let you open the air hatch," Allen said. Shion nodded, adjusting her glasses, glaring at Allen a bit for bringing the matter up again.

chaos reached the hanger by the time he had decided to stop running. Noticing where he was,  he looked up at the maintenance lab. Taking the lift, he walked in finding KOS-MOS sleeping.

"Was it you?" he asked aloud to no one in particular.

*chaos' POV*

"What're you talking about?" I jumped, turning to see the Commander.

"Oh! Commander Cherenkov, you scared me."

"Andrew."

"Huh?"

"My name is Andrew."

"Oh, well, what are you doing here… Andrew?"

"I don't know. Just thinking, I guess."

"Mmm…." I looked back at KOS-MOS.

"What are you doing here?"

"Same as you, I guess."

"What were you talking about before?"

"Nani?"

"You said 'Was it you?' What were you talking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Nothing at all," I said. Suddenly, the android's eyes opened. "KOS-MOS!" She leaned up, looking at me.

"Hai?"

"D-did I wake you?"

"Iie, my recharge sequence was complete. Therefore, I am now going to find Shion." She began to climb out of her capsule. "Are you alright?"

"Huh?"

"My emotion module tells me that you are sad and confused. Why is that?"

"I just have a lot on my mind."

"Sou desu ka. Commander Cherenkov, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing really."

"I'm going to Shion now. Excuse me." As she leaves, I realized how tired I was. I turned to Andrew.

"Well, I'm going to go lie down. I'll see you later." With that, I left the maintenance lab, making sure I didn't run into anyone on the way to the cabin.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"chaos…."

'Wha— Where am I?'

"chaos…. Isn't it beautiful?"  said a female voice. Again, it was blurry but from what I could tell I was in some sort of forest or park. I looked over to see the girl with blue hair. Her back was turned slightly to me, just enough so I couldn't see her face. She extended her hand, catching one of the many fireflies that danced in the night air.

'Turn around. Look at me. Dare desu ka?' I ran up, grasping her shoulder. Just as I was about to spin her around….

~*~*~*~*~*~

Alarms were blaring, jolting me from my slumber.

"Wha— iie, I was so close to finding out…" I got up, putting on my jacket and gloves. I made my way over to the bridge.

"It's U-TIC battle cruisers. They seem to be after that tiny ship."

"Let's help them….."

"….Or we can always get knocked into the hyperspace wall," Tony shouted.

"What's going on?" I cut in, taking my seat at the weapon controls.

"U-TIC."

"Uhh…. Captain, there's an unknown ship that just appeared."

"Who cares? We need to get rid of these battle cruisers. chaos…"

"Hai." I fired twice, hitting two targets. Suddenly, the tiny ship started making hyperspace waves, taking out most of the cruisers.

"Sugoi! That's some sweet driving!" Tony exclaimed. He, in turn, did the same thing, taking out the rest.

"AHH!!! Reinforcements!" One of them fired, blasting one of the tiny ship's engines. Just before they were going to explode, Shion took the catapult controls and caught them.

"Way to go. Nice catch, Shion." However, as the catapult lifted, it got stuck.

"Uh-oh. There was something wrong with the electrical work," Hammer concluded. He connected with the people and told them they had to get on the ship. "Uh… that second unknown ship has boarded. As well as some U-TIC."

"Great. Anyone else want to join the party?" Captain Matthews said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I'm going to help them." I stood, turning to leave.

"Let me come with you, chaos," Shion pleaded.

"It's too dangerous," I said simply. She gave me a determined look.

"I know that. Besides, I have KOS-MOS with me."

"Well, okay." Again, no point in arguing.

"Please be careful, Chief," Allen said, knowing he wasn't going to be able to stop her.

"I will." With that, we ran out of the bridge, making our way to the catapult.
