"..." talking ... thinking '...' repeating something Ex. names of places [...] authors notes
************************************************
Chris just about bit my head off when I didn't answer at first. "How the hell do you know Duncan?"
I got really pissed off at her for using such a tone on me, and she's not even family! So I bit back. "I met him yesterday you stupid bit..." Duncan clapped a hand over my mouth before I could finish my retort.
"Calm down lad. You've really got to stop letting your emotions get to you like that! Learn some self-control!" He spoke in a calm, controlled manner. But that only served to piss me off even more and had the after effect of focusing all my anger at him.
I bit his hand really hard, and he recoiled in shock, tearing his skin in the process. Too bad it wouildn't be permanently damaged, it was already healing. I spit out the chunk of his hand that was left in my mouth after his reaction, and started screaming.
"You stupid ass! You have no room to talk about overcoming your emotions! Also, YOU haven't been through the ordeal I have! ... " I started ranting too fast for anyone to possibly keep up with me, all the while looking for a water source. Why? So I could show him the definition of 'SELF- CONTROL'.
I finally found one, down in the 'Mech bay, after about 30 seconds. I stopped ranting long enough to tell Duncan to "Follow me moron !" 'Twas probably the only thing he actually heard thruoght the whole damn rant.
"Ooookay." he replied as I jumped the rail down to the 'Mech bay.
********************* As they took the stairs:
"So, Duncan. How the hell do you know Aries?" asked Chris in a controlled, if not calm, manner."And I asked you to find Solaris and bring her here. SO WHERE IS SHE?"
"She's right outside Chris, SO STOP BITCHING ALREADY!" he instantly looked mortified [AN: is that the right word?] as he realised what he'd said. But she didn't try to kill him, so he continued. "As to how I know Aries? I was assigned to be his bodygaurd after that last incident."
"By who?"
"Khan Ishtar Brooksfield."
"WHAAT?"
"We're here." he announced calmly as they reached the wash basin I was standing in front of.
****************
"What took you losers so long?" I asked, still pissed off from before I jumped the rail. Duncan started to answer, but I cut him off. "Fuck that. Time to show you the real definition of self-control Duncan." I smiled evily as I swept my hand through the cold water. I think one of the tech crew must have passed out as I transformed, because I heard a dull thud through my now smaller ears.
Duncan was totally stupified, looking at me like I was a different species. " H H How?" he finally stuttered.
Instead of answering, I scooped up some water and hurled it at Chris. She didn't dodge fast enough, and she was sent sprawling due to her unexpected transformation. Duncan almost fainted on the spot. The techs weren't so lucky. They dropped like flies. "Kerensky? Here?" one managed to say befor he fell off his work platform.
Duncan was now looking to 'Jeffries' for an answer.
"Kochrane." was all she said.
Duncan whirled around to stare at me. "You too?"
"Yep." I said calmly.
"Ha ha hahahahahahaahha!" Duncan was laughing his ass off as he rolled on the floor. [rotflmao] Then he started pointing too. That was when I snapped.
He's laughing. I realised horrified. How dare he laugh at me! I'll kill 'im. I'LL KILL 'IM!
"HOW DARE YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" I screamed with animalistic fury at his laughter. I picked up a nearby wrench and started swinging it towards his head.
Instantly he stopped laughing and rolled away, jumping up as he did so. Then pulling his sword he started talking. "You really don't want to fight me Aries. I don't want to fight you and ..." His words were cut off when I attacked again, nearly removing his hand. "I'm sorry for laughing at you Aries. I forgot how much it pissed you off."
I stopped attacking when he said 'I'm sorry'. "Are you really sorry Duncan?" When he nodded his head, I dropped the wrench and started crying. "Don't you remember what happened when my uncle died?"
"I remember." he said slowly, then an alarm went off somwhere outside.
"We're under attack!" screamed someone as they ran in through a hole that just got blown in the bay door.
I jumped into the nearest cockpit and started powering up weapons. Then I noticed exactly which cockpit I was in. "Hey Sis, wanna blow somethin' up?"
"Why not? It'll be that training we were supposed to do hours ago." She had a slightly disconcerting lilt to her voice. She sounded like Kathy did when she got high that one time. It wore off as she started her checklists. She finally got around to bringing up targets. "3 'Mech powerups detected, Minovsky particle density at 48 percent and rising, Target 1 identified as Phazon variant of Cauldron Born..."
"That'd be Duncan. He loves those short little things. So do I though."
"Target 2 identified as Lightning Sikes variant of Timber Wolf." [Mad Cat]
"That might be Keebler, he always used Eepers." I thought back for a second, remembering the last time I'd seen that variant in combat.
"Target 3 cannot be identified. Minovsky Particle density at 92 percent and holding."
"Hey Sis, do me a favor and from now on refer to Minovsky Particle Density as MP Density."
"Very well. -sigh- May I ask why?" She sounded as if she was bothered by something.
"Not yet Solaris, after this is over mabye!" I roared as we ran out of the hangar ... and into total chaos. Comm traffic was incredibly dense as I heard several different Stars worth of 'Mechs talking at once. "What the hell is going on here?" 4 of 'em addressed me directly, or rather, they addressed Solaris directly.
"Dammit Solaris, it's about time you got here! We're completely surrounded and need you to bust a hole in their line so we can get out! I'm transmitting our coordinates now."
Her voice wavered for a second. "Aries, that's almost 5 klicks from here. We'll never make it in time!" She sounded like she was gonna cry again.
"Of course we'll make it sis! After all, heh heh heh, we can fly!" I kicked the boosters up to full. "Hang on Dezgra unit,"
"21." Solaris supplied.
"We'll be there in a minute hold 'em off till then!"
"Understood Aries, Solaris. We'll hold 'em off 'till you get here."
We were making good time, and I wondered idly when we were gonna get shot down. I kicked in the leg boosters too, hoping to go a little faster. It worked, 'till we got hit. By a dropship no less.
"Aughh, Dammit! There goes my fucking boosters. Who the hell shot me?" Solaris was really mad now. I decided to find some targets, and realised everything was registering as friendly.
"What the fuck?" We landed rather hard. "Dezgra unit 21, give me your targets now. my scanners show nothing but friendlies." Now even Solaris got worried.
"What do you mean only freindlies? Wait, we're recieving telemetry from Duncan!"
"This is Nova Captain Duncan to all Dezgra units. I'm sending you full telemetry on the enemy 'Mechs. Dezgra unit 21, cede leadership to Aries and Solaris at once."
Somthing weird was going on with our sensors. Suddenly half, no, 3/4 of the blips went red. Solaris immidiatly began taking out the units surrounding Dezgra 21,now that they were registering as enemy.
"Solaris, Aries, this is Mon Capitan. I cede leadership of Dezgra 21 to the both of you. Where the hell is Aries anyway? I haven't seen any other units besides you Solaris." It was right about then that her head whirled around to see all 4 Dezgra units standing off to our right.
Solaris jumped back a few feet. "Ackk! Don't do that to me Capitan!"
"Shit!" I responded. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Ahh, Aries? Where are you? I don't see anyone but Solaris out here."
I didn't have time to answer him, I was too busy figuring out where to strike next. "Okay, listen up you losers. We're gonna head to this nav point and help out Raven unit, understand?"
"-sigh-, understood Dezgra 21 lead. But when this is over, you'd better show yourself, or I'll shoot Solaris personally." Now I got really mad. This moron threatened my sister, now it's his turn.
"Come on boys. Follow me." We began to move when Solaris noticed that the comm was silent from Raven unit. "Aww shit! We gotta hustle guys."
"Aries, they're not moving." Solaris was relaying orders to them to follow her instead, and I agreed with her, on account of they couldn't see me. Ha! More like I couldn't let them see me yet. I told myself that it was so they wouldn't get distracted in mid fight, but I knew it was because I feared being branded 'Freak' by them.
Suddenly I noticed several odd ... Things, for lack of a better term, on the path we were taking. Theyn were far too short to be any form of 'Mech I'd ever seen, and were even shorter than Elementals.
"Duncan, What are those?" Both of us asked at the same time, and I just glared daggers into the cameras mounted in the corners. She even had the audacity to glare back!
Duncan finally reported in "They appear to be functional Proto- 'Mechs. I thought when the Jaguars were absorbed that they destroyed all the records. Guess I was wrong huh?"
"Okay, Capitan. You've got the one with the missle rack. Everyone else, pick your targets and fire at will!" The whole damn star jumped out from our hiding places with all guns blazing. The little proto-bastards responded instantly, shooting fast & accurately. They blew an arm clear off the 'Mech next to Capitan. In return, they lost one of their units wholesale.
"Hell yea! It's like squashin' roaches!" said the unit who killed the little bastard.
"Heh heh, just make sure it's actually dead ok?" Said Duncan as he perforated another Proto-'Mech. "He won't be returning to bother us a~nytime soon."
A blast of electronic static coursed through the comms as an odd fighter plane was blasted by Keebler. "By Kerensky! What was that?" asked the sniper.
"Dammit Johnson! Cut the fukin' chatter. We gotta move out now! I'll grab that fighter thing and head for base."
Hmm, so Keebler really is in Dezgra 21. How appropriate. My thoughts were cut short right about then as we got bombed. Hard. "What the hell? Who's got artillery? Oh shit!" I think the rest of Dezgra 21 was with me & Solaris as we rushed to the still smoking crater which housed the earthly remains of 3 Proto-'Mechs, and Johnson Keebler.
A new transmission cut short our mourning. "All units return to base. Repeat. All units return to base. The invaders have been routed. Good work men."
"Well, I guess we'd better drag Keeblers 'Mech back with us." Solaris seemed in pain, how and why I don't pretend to understand. "I'll do it, since none of you really have hands."
"Hello~o. Commander Arie~s !"
"Aaack! Don't scare me like that!"
"There's someone alive in this fighter thingy. The scanners aren't sure how well they're holding up though."
Solaris waved her arm in annoyance. "Well then I guess you'd better get 'im to medlab quickly huh?" He took off as fast as his load would allow.
I started thinking out loud. "Now all we gotta do is get Keebler's 'Mech back to the hanger."
Duncan landed right next to us and offered his assistance. Since the enemy forces weren't entirly gone, just routed, we agreed to let him escort us back to base. I'd never really noticed the Gaurdian mode of his LAM [Land-Air-'Mech] before, so it was something of a shock to see it's legs suddenly pop open, allowing him to start hovering.
Solaris reesponded at the same time as me, but with a different word. ME: "COOL!" Solaris: "Fascinating. How does it work?"
"No time to explain kids." I got really mad again, but he continued before I could protest. "We've got to get this 'Mech back to the hangar before the enemy shows up again."
It took a few minutes, but we got Keebler's 'Mech back to base well before a hauler could've. Mon Capitan was freakin' livid. "WHERE THE FUCK IS ARIES! I WILL KILL SOLARIS IF HE DOSEN'T SHOW HIS Face ri,ght now?" the poor man went quiet when he came face-to-barrel with an Ultra-AC-10.
"Calm down lad. If yeh get all emotional like that everytime yeh don't get your way, then I might have to shoot yeh." Duncan kept him there as I left the cockpit and headed for the wash basin. Solaris started walking towards the only empty berth so she could get her booster replaced.
Capitan's face went white, as he saw Solaris heading for the bay. He could see right into the empty cockpit,and clearly saw that no-one was piloting her. "H-h-h-h-how?" Then he remembered his threat to shoot Solaris if I didn't show, and started to pull his gun. Duncan saw this and nudged the poor man with the barrel, knoking him flat on his ass.
I finally returned with a bucket of warm water to douse myself with. "Okay Capitan. I owe you a few explanations. You won't like the first one at all." I saw him zone out as I said this, and nudged him with my foot to get his attention. "First things first, Solaris isn't human, she's a gundam. Second, I am Aries Greymon. Third, I'm actually a boy." I doused myself as I said the last line. All of dezgra 21 went white as a ghost.
"Dammit Aries, why did you do that here?" Solaris' voice carried throughout the whole damn hangar, causing a few techs to stagger from the sheer volume. "It could've, no, Should've waited 'till Mom got here." Her voice was much lower this time. A few techs even thanked her for having gotten quieter. "As for the rest of you," She turned her head to face the rest of Dezgra 21. "Why do you all look like you've never seen a curse before? Your own commander, Chris, is cursed the opposite way."
Just then Chris walked in. To help Solaris prove her point, I doused her with bucket of now cold water. "AGGH! You little bastard! I'm gonna rip you to pieces for that!" Too bad she was screaming at nothing. When I threw the rest of the water on her, Duncan ran up behind me and conked me with the butt of his pistol. He was carrying me to my room before the water hit the ground.
*****************
A few hours later:
"I'm soo lonely. -sigh-" She saw a shooting star and made a wish, because one of the techs had told her to do so if she saw one. "I wish I was more like my brother." She instantly fell asleep.
******************
Jesus! It only took 5 days of actual work to get this chapter out! The muses must have been on crack or something the last couple of weeks. Sorry it took so damn long. Next chapter, we introduce a new character! And we get to see if her wish is granted! And if so, then what happens because of it?
"It took him this long to finally get to the wish? Jesus Christ man! I could've done it faster than that!"
"You're probably right Solaris, but I needed to put in a lot of detail so it would be less confusing. It still is fairly confusing, cause it is war after all." :Aries
Please let me know what kind of information I need to include in the next chapter. And what needs to be done to improve this one!
