A/n: Ok before I begin there are some things I would like to take out of my system…First of all I would like to thank all of those who have reviewed my story; "Lynderia", "est.", "Jukai" (who is my little cousin just bothering me), "Angel of Gene 23" and especially "Anime Angel~^o^", "Pixie_Chick15" and "Dark shadow"( isn't that a name of an old series on Sci fi??) LOL, just bothering you. All of you guys were the ones that kept me going and I appreciate it. Also I would like to say that after I wrote the story I found out that there is a game on "PS2" that is called "Shadow of Destiny" but my story is "Shadows… with an S, Shadows of destiny" ironic huh? And finally I would like to apologize for the delay in bringing up my story but between the final tests and massive e-mails telling me what to do with the story I just didn't have time… except for now, and so without further interruptions I present…


Outlaw Star: Shadows (with an S) of Destiny


Gene sat there all alone in the kitchen looking at his now empty bowl of stew and chuckled to the thought of what had just happened "hmm I've never seen Jim react like that." Meanwhile in Melfina's room Jim stood there next to the door as he spoke with her, they were talking about what had happened, "…yeah I tell you some times I don't know where Gene has his head… um Mel?" "What is it Jim?" "Um do you mind if um I um sleep here with you tonight it'sbecauseIfeellonelyinmyroomandIdon'twanttobealone… But if you don't want to it's ok… I understa…" "It's ok…" Jim was interrupted "I don't mind, I also feel lonely once in a while and wouldn't mind the company" after hearing this Jim smiled and hurdled over to her bed and wit a hop landed beside her and cuddled with her falling asleep with her behind him and with her arm also wrapped around him. Meanwhile in the kitchen Gene was getting ready to go to his room when he heard a sound much like electricity crackling followed by a thump on the floor over at the bridge so he rushed over there. Upon his arrival he found Suzuka lying on the floor with her hair loose and parts of her clothes shredded and torn. "SUZUKA!!! Are you alright?!" he said as he knelt beside her and raised up a bit. "unghh where am I?? What happened?? Unnff oww my head * Gasp * the robot!! Gene!! The ship!!!" Suzuka said as she raised herself up "Robot?… Are you ok Suzu?" Suzuka rose up her eyes to meet Gene's "Gene you're alive! And the XGP still exists!" " Um are you sure you're alright?" "It worked it actually worked, I did it I actually did it!" "Did what?" gGene asked her "Get a second chance!" "Chance for what?" Gene said as he started to look at Suzuka with eyes of puzzlement. "To save you guys" she said as she fainted. "Save us?" After a while of thinking Gene picked up Suzuka and took her to her room after which he departed to his. "Save us?" Gene kept on thinking as he started to fall asleep.
The next morning Gene woke up, got dressed and headed toward the kitchen to find Melfina cooking and Jim sitting at the counter. "What are you doing up so early," said Melfina "you never get up so early" "I couldn't stay in bed much longer, and besides I wanted to check on Suzuka" "Suzuka?" Melfina said "Suzuka!?" Jim replied almost at the same time. "Yeah, Suzuka, remember?" " Um, Gene didn't she vanish?" Jim asked "Yes, yes I did but now I'm back" Suzuka said as she entered the kitchen "SUZUKA!!" Jim and Mel said at the same time they saw her. "What happened to you??! Are you ok?! Were did… Suzuka what happened to you? Your face… it's different" Jim concluded after he took a close look at the beautiful former assassin's face. After Gene heard the last comment of Jim he turned around to look at her and noticed something he didn't see the night before due to the darkness. Her appearance seemed as if she was 5 or 6 years older and had scars on her face, 3 scars, 3 parallel scars that went diagonally from her left ear to her chin. "What happened Suzuka?" Gene said shocked to the image he saw. " I'm sorry but I can't tell you right now" Suzuka said as she made her way toward the kitchen and took a seat "All that I can tell you is that we must hurry to get to professor Gwen's location before it's too late…" "Huh? How did you know that we were heading to that location?" Jim asked "I'm sorry but like I said I can't tell you" * beep beep * "Eh hem sorry to interrupt but we are reaching the professor's coordinates" Gilliam said "Good we must hurry" Suzuka said as she sat down to take a zip from her tea.
