PART 1: BY ORANGE
The entire trip to see Aisha in the hospital was a quiet one. Gene couldn't think of anything he would want to say. He just kept replaying their fight over and over again.
They had both been irritable and volatile because of their food shortage. He hadn't meant all of what he said. He really didn't want her to leave. She was a great asset to have when one was bounty hunting. Her skin was as thick as her head, but he couldn't really say very much because he was the same way. But Aisha could and would fight you to the very end and never surrender even if it meant death.
She didn't seem like it when you first looked, but Aisha was smart. Very smart. Once Jim couldn't figure out why his computer wouldn't turn on. He had taken it apart, put it back together, and taken it apart again. Aisha just walked by, changed out two microchips and turned it on.
And now, because he had run off at the mouth too much and didn't take responsibility for what he did and instead did what he always did, he took it out on Aisha; she might not be there anymore.
So now this stupid Battousai thing is going to kill her if they don't find this specific flower that grows in this specific garden that is constantly moving and hasn't been seen in God knows how long! Well, Gene was going to make sure he found said garden and flower. Come hell or high water.
He made a mental note to ask Fred if he knew anything about this garden when they were finished here. He wanted to get started as soon as possible, but he wanted to see Aisha First. He would like to know what damage his words had caused.
***********
Aisha was a mess. Cuts and bruises, scars and burns. You name it she had it. She was dressed like a car wreck and looked like hell. Wires and tubes were hooked up to her and she couldn't even breathe on her own. She looked so fragile, so weak. It was so unlike their Aisha, they had to look twice to believe it.
Melfina immediately began crying on Suzuka. The assassin comforted her silently. Jim tried not to let it show how bothered he really was by checking on the equipment that was monitoring her body.
Gene just watched from the doorway in numb fascination. He had never seen Aisha look so weak. She looked like if anyone touched her, she would shatter into a million pieces.
He really wanted to apologize, to say how glad he was to see her, to insult her, to yell at her for worrying him like that, to say…SOMETHING! But nothing would come out. He could only watch mutely as the others displayed their feelings.
So much damage had been done. Hold on, something didn't make sense. His brows furrowed. There had to be more than the disease doing this to her. It shouldn't cause bruises and it houldn't cause severe head trauma. He knew very well Aisha was hardheaded. She could ram the XGP and leave a dent in it, if not a hole.
" "Something's wrong here.""
The others looked at him. Jim looked a little confused. " What are you talking about?"
" I mean this disease means that Aisha will lose body functions one after another, then what does that have to do with her being trampled up. She had to have been beaten within an inch of her life to get banged up like that. It doesn't make sense. Nothing can pierce a Ctarl-Ctarl's skin. Something awful powerful got to her before the police did and it got her good."
Suzuka looked at Aisha and nodded. " That's right. There's no reason she should have this much bruising and this much bleeding from Battousai. All the damage should be on the inside. There is nothing in Battousai that has to do with head trauma."
Gene walked around to the side and looked at one of the cuts on Aisha's arms. There were burn marks around the edges of it, insinuating that she was burned, not cut. And the identical mark above it was that made by a sword; which would have to be wielded with great force. " This was no accident. Someone intended to hurt and wound her badly. And whoever that is, has the murderous rose or at least some of its spores."
Jim looked to either of them and then to Aisha. That made a lot of sense too. An idea formed in his head and he immediately pulled out his handheld to hack into something.
" Whatcha got there Jim?"
" I'm going to see if I can hack into the data stream of the surveillance robots. If they saw what happened to Aisha, we'll know who did it to her."
Gene 'hmm'ed in comprehension. " While you do that, I'm going to do a little snooping of my own."
Melfina looked up at him when he said that." Where are you going Gene?"
" To the shipping docks. Maybe there are some clues there. There have to be some marks of battle there if nothing else. Aisha isn't one to go down without a fight. She's a wildcat," He rubbed the back of his head absentmindedly in recollection of the pillow she smacked him with," and you didn't hear that from me!"
PART 2: By M
Harry stood absentmindedly staring at the shipping docks.
"So, why exactly are we here again?" Ron asked, looking around.
"Waiting for those Kai pirates to come, so we can get our shipment and money order, then dispose of them."
"Oh right."
There was again an akward silence.
"So..." Ron said dully.
"hm." Harry grunted.
"What are we gonna do with this shipment?"
"We're going to see if we can break this rose up so we can ingest it and become the most powerful beings in the universe!"
"Uh...I thought we already were?" Ron asked.
"Well, technically, but to fully undergo the transformation, a portion of the flower must be ingested or injected into your body."
"But if we eat it all, how will we poison others?"
The kai pirates ship touched down.
Harry smirked.
"I guess we'll have to find out."
Bodies slumped to the ground of the hallways of the ship as Harry and Ron slowly walked their way through the ranks of people on board.
"That's funny," said Ron, "I don't feel any different from before we ate that rose."
"Hm. Maybe we need to kill someone else."
"Not a bad idea, look who it is," Ron said, pointing to a certain red-headed outlaw inspecting a dead body.
Harry and Ron quickly ran out of the ship and towards Gene. By the time he saw them it was too late, they were already quickly standing in front of him and behind him, taking off his routes of escape.
"Well Gene, it appears you're in a jam." Harry said cooly, taking his p90 out and leveling it at Gene's head.
"It's time to end your life Gene. We are kind fellows," Ron said, also leveling his M16 at Gene's torso, "We'll end it quickly."
Gene raised his arms quickly, smirked, and then the shots started firing.
