Ruri: A new arrival came to the Nadesico and proved to be an idiot. What a surprise. Now that he's here not only will Akito surely feel insecure about his masculinity, he may also be replaced by the self-absorbed egotist. Are there no normal pilots out there?
Author: YOU GET BURNING!!
Ruri: Baka.
Part 2: Akito's Torment Begins
His words have forced Yurika into full consciousness. This man has come to shove her beloved Akito away from his spotlight. Joe could obviously see the dred on her face. "Is there something wrong, Captain?" he asked. "You needed a pilot and here I am....what could be the problem?"
"You see..." Yurika began. "We already have a replacement for Gai. Akito is our pilot."
"Akito? I was not informed about him at all. I heard that you had received three new pilots yet you had one Aesti left to be manned. So I was sent to pilot it!"
Joe stood seriously, staring at Yurika's eyes. Neither of them spoke. Ruri glanced at the two, then looked around to see everyone else being just as quiet. She then cleared her throat to gain their attentions. "Mr....."
"Just call me Joe!"
"Mr.....Joe, you said that you are the replacement for the late Mr. Yamada, correct?"
Joe nodded.
"But you came here in your own Aestivalis. So now we have both Mr. Yamada's and your's. Do you plan on being capable of piloting both at the same time?"
Everyone in the room then realized the obvious. There was still a place for Akito to pilot! Now they can except Joe and not have to worry. Akito allowed a smile to slip onto his face. Upon seeing this, Joe turned to him angrilly. "And what is there for you to smile about, Tiny?"
"T-Tiny?" Akito asked.
Joe climbed back up to his cockpit, reached in for something, then came back down. He dropped a large bag onto the floor. Reaching in and pulling out a paper book, he said "I have with me a list of all the positions of everyone upon the Nadesico." He flipped to the list of pilots. "Now tell me, where does the name Tiny Girlyman show up? I can't allow some..stowaway to pilot Nergal property!"
"Well, actually," Akito said turning the pages of the book. "I'm right here."
Turning the book around, Joe read, " 'Akito Tenkawa: Ship Cook'. " He burst out in laughter right in front of Akito's face. Joe laughed and pointed at Akito then held onto his shoulders for support. "Oh....my sides...ow. You had me going there for a second. I knew you weren't pilot material."
Akito frowned. "You don't understand, I-"
He grabbed his bag then looked around and spoke to no one in particular. "So where's my room?"
Yurika looked to Jun who returned it with a shrug. "With all the crewman I'm not sure if we have any more room."
"May I make a suggestion?" Goat said with his perpetual look of harsh seriousness. He called Joe over and told him where he can find his room. Joe was the first to leave the hanger.
"What an odd person, " Yurika said.
"What a body!" Hikaru said.
"What an idiot." Ruri said.
"What a jackass!" Akito whispered to himself. "He better of gotten the room farthest away from mine!"
Running back to his room, Akito smiled happily at the thought of being able to watch his anime. As he ran, he passed Ryoko who was standing by a soda machine on his way.
"Uh....Tenkawa! I was wondering if you would.....That is..." The next thing she knew, Akito was down the hall. He had never stopped to listen to her. "SLOW DOWN WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!!" Akito skid to a hault right in front of his door and took one step before being knocked down by a flying tackle from Ryoko and slid across the floor and hit head-first into a wall. "Like I was saying, I was wondering if you would-" Ryoko took a closer look at Akito. "Dammit, now you're unconscious!" In an act of anger, she punches the silent body and then got up and stormed off.
Some time later, Akito's eyes opened and found he was now in his room. He tried to lift his head but felt a stinging headache. The sound of the Gekiganger 3 ending theme song could be heard. Akito slowly turned his head to the direction of his television screen. A figure was sitting and watching his tapes. Akito's eyes opened, "Please....don't be him! Don't be him! Don't be him!"
The figure turned around. It was Hikaru. Akito sighed in relief. "Hey, he's awake!" she called out. In from the small kitchen walked Joe.
"Thanks for watching over him for me, Hikaru. You can go now." With a skip, Hikaru ran out of the room, humming the ending song to herself. "Hey there, Agito. Guess who's your new roommate!"
Akito looked at Joe saddly, "Satan?"
"Haha! Still the joker even in that state, eh? I am, of course! They said it was temporary but I told them that there was no rush. I can stay here until the war's over!" He forced Akito up and placed him in a headlock. With his other hand, he grinded his knuckle into Akito's still throbbing head.
"THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!??"
"Joe and Agito! Inseperable and unbeatable! The Nadesico's strongest offensive power!" Akito turned to him. Had he excepted Akito as a pilot? "Yup, I shall be the strongest pilot and you shall be the guy who prepares the food that keeps the strongest pilot going! A perfect team, eh?"
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!!!"
More to come...
Author's comments: Well that chapter was alot of fun, right? (FYI, Joe does call Akito "Agito" in case you were wondering) And for those of you angry about the lack of action, don't worry its coming, its coming! Put down your pitchforks! But what shall happen now? Will Joe kill Akito's chances of piloting? Will Ryoko ever get her true feelings out? Will Megumi put down that magazine to bother Akito? Find out on the next chapter of Nadesico!...maybe.
Ruri: Can't you bother someone else and let me go home now?
Author: No!
