Project 59 by Bonez aka HappyNoodleGurl
Chapter 30 *I do not own anything by Square, Square-Enix, or Koda Kumi. But
I do love FFX-2 and recommend it to any techno-geek out there like me! ^_^*
Lan had led Dib to a large, black SUV-looking van, and she slid the side door open. The blonde woman sat on the floor typing on a portable computer with one hand, and eating ramen noodles with the other. The long- haired drummer sat at a wooden desk with some type of headphones on, and moving a knob on a small, black device that Dib knew as a space transmitter.
Lan shoved him in the van and closed the door quickly. Without even looking up, the blonde girl shoved another bite of ramen in her mouth and spoke first. "Who's the kid?" Dib cleared his throat and sat down in the passengers side. "I'm Dib Membraine, I'm sure agent DarkBooty's informed you before." She nodded. "That's cool, I'm Meko! This to my right is Nanaki, but for the most part we just call her Aki for short." Meko whispered to him, "She can be very unsocial."
"I heard that you twit," Aki replied bitterly as Meko laughed nervously. Lan sighed and fell back in her seat. "In short, Meko's the computer-geek, and Aki's the navigator. Me? I'm the back-ass gunner." She winked a bit as Meko threw her empty noodle bowl at her. "Aw c'mon, just because you go out and almost get killed doesn't mean nothin! We work harder than you!"
Dib laughed a tiny bit, staring at these three paranormal investigators. Wait, no, paranormal investigator special operation soldiers. Darkbooty told him about them----when things got tough, they sent teams like them out to save the planet. For the past 3 years, he played the same role.
Putting down her headphones, Aki whipped around in her chair and stared at Dib with her piercing green eyes. "So kid, what's your story?" He cleared his throat once more, and told them everything. The complete story about Zim, Raye, Irk, the Transmissions, and everything that happened to him in the past month. Meko had been lieing on the ground, listening dreamily to everyword, and when he was done she jumped up in a hyper rush.
"That's soooooooooo romantic! Ooo, ooo Lan! We've gotta help him! Please? Let's get her back!" Aki sighed and leaned back in her chair. "We're gonna have to, it's orders from the boss." Meko cheered some more. "Aww, it's gonna be great! When we get her back I'm going to be in the wedding, right? I so want to see you two get married!"
Dib laughed nervously while anime-style teardropping. (^_^''') Aki rolled her eyes. "Look, we gotta get back to Lan's apartment on-the- double, I gotta set up a transmitter there, then all we do is sit back and wait." Aki jumped up enthusiatically. "Hey! Let's bring Dib along! He's part of the Swollen Eyeball! Aww, C'mon Lan, pu-leez????"
Lan looked at Meko's pathetic grin, and sighed in defeat. "Sure, why not? You wanna spend the next couple o'days with us?" Dib opened his palm and stared at the sparkling ruby in Raye's ring. Aki looked down at the ground sympathetically, and then dug a silver chain out from her pocket. "Here kid, take this for that ring." Dib took the chain and smiled gratefully. "Thanks, really." He placed the ring on the chain, then hooked it around his neck. It meshed with his blue smiley shirt.
"There we go! All better! So now Dib, whadd'ya say? Wanna join our group?" Meko asked, as all three of them stared at him with anticipation. He took his glasses off and wiped them with his trench coat. "Sure, why not? After all, it IS my dream to be a paranormal investigator.........." "WHOO!" Meko yelled hyper-like, bear-hugging Dib as soon as he put his glasses back on. Aki pried her off of him, and cursed at her for being so shameless.
The two women and Dib sat there for a while, talking and laughing while Lan watched them from the driver's seat. Then, she stopped and started looking up at the night sky sadly. She started staring at the North Star with a glimpse of painful regrets. Holding herself from the sudden cold wave crawling up her body, she sighed.
Dib noticed her staring up in a sad glare, and wondered what her story was. But before he could even observe the way she winced in pain when her eyes pulled away from the star, she turned around with a soft, gentle smile. "Yeah, welcome to the Sin Spawns, Dib!" He jumped into the passenger's side as Meko typed in something on her computer.
Suddenly, a song called "*Real Emotion" started playing. Dib couldn't understand most of it, because it was in Japanese, but it had an upbeat happy melody to it and everyone in the van started moving to the hypnotic rythm as Lan drove them down the street towards her apartment while the stars twinkled brightly like a polished sequin.
---------------------
A/N: Whoo, this wasn't that long. Umm, yea so this was basically introducing the "Sin Spawns." If you play any RPG's, you can kinda guess where I got their personalities from. Mostly I got alot of influences from Final Fantasy X and X-2. Try and guess who/what they are! Oh yeah, I modeled Meko almost completely from Rikku, but anywhoo that's a different story. Yeah, if anyone out there wants to take a break from the "mosh pit" scene and break loose, I highly recommend Real Emotion from Koda Kumi. I love that song! Fun Fact: I'm listening to it right now. Sorry kids, but I just love J-Pop and techno! ^_^ R&R and thanks to those who have. Bai!
