Joe and Ken walked into Jun's room. Nothing had changed, the room was half lit and both went to either side of the bed. Ken leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, and whispered her name. She did not respond and Ken turned and drove his fist into the wall behind him.

Joe stood there watching his brother, and wondered how far he would go in his seeking revenge. The door opened and Red Impulse stood there, he looked at the boys. "I was looking for you Ken." Ken turned to the older man.

"Why?"

"To talk."

"I don't want to talk." Red Impulse looked to Joe, seeking help but found that avenue closed. Both had the same look on their young faces.

"Come on, Ken. Oh by the way Nambu has ordered both of you to be arrested and put in the brig when you return."

"He did what? Well he will need more than a few guards to accomplish that one. We aren't going anywhere, unless we want to."

"I know, Nambu knows too. Ken son, listen to me. You have to get ahold of yourself now. Stop this going off half cocked and killing. Think, and let yourself have some time to cool down. Stay by Jun till she is better then you will be thinking clearer." Ken moved over to him and looked him in the eye, or eye to sunglasses.

"What do you know of it? I didn't keep her safe, and I let them do what they did. I should have done more. Those animals need to die, all of them. Everyone on their miserable planet."

'Even children?"

"Don't care, they grow up to be like the grown-ups. I hate them all. I will destroy them all." Joe watched Ken and noticed how alike they are. Ken wouldn't think so, and he would get mad if he said that too. The older man looked sadly at the teen.

"You don't mean that, Ken. You aren't a cold blooded killer. You have a heart."

"My heart lies over there, in that bed. I was raised to kill, I cut my first teeth on weapons, and my first reading was a how to kill manual."

"Duty, Ken. That is what is important. Keep your head. Do your job, see what happens when you let personal feelings get in the way? It can destroy you. You are a great warrior, great pilot. Let this go." Ken's look grew colder, and he moved fast and decked the older man. Joe moved over to Ken.

"Duty, like my father? Did he remove his heart? Is that how he managed to leave his family, never to return. Honor, duty. He should never have married and had me. We didn't really matter to him."

"You don't know that. I am sure your dad loved you and your mother. He just did his duty, and got caught up in it, and couldn't get out."

"yeah right. Other soldiers have families, and don't do that. I wont do that either. I am me."

"Yes you are, Ken. What does Red Impulse know?" Ken turned and walked back to the bed, leaving Red Impulse to get off the floor and leave, with Joe giving his dirty looks. He went in search of his old friend.

Ken and Joe were leaving Jun's room when they overheard some guards talking. Seems they had taken some high ranking prisoners, that they were holding. Joe and Ken smiled at each other, already on their way to the brig.

"Washio what do you mean? You didn't try to make Ken do it your way?"

"Yes, I did. I tried to make him see reason, but he wouldn't. He is blinded by love. He is going to ruin his life, and get into trouble. Over a girl." Nambu's look turned cold.

"Not any girl. Jun is special to all of us. Like my daughter too. Ken would be very lucky to get her. Your son needs a girl like her, to keep him human. I have pushed to keep the kids apart, afraid of what it would do to the team. But I was wrong. The team are behind them, and I am glad they can still feel."

"What about them killing people for no reason?"

'Well I told the big boss, that I ordered them to protect the new invention, and that is why they were there." Red Impulse smiled.

"You covered for them."

"Yes. They are my children, and I will do what I can for them." Red Impulse frowned.

"Did you know Ken hit me?" Nambu smiled.

"He did, did he? Well I imagine you deserved it."

"But I am his father."

"He doesn't know it." Suddenly the alarm went off, and a frantic call came to him.

"Trouble in the brig, the Gatchaman have gone crazy in the brig, they have the prisoners! We need help!" Nambu and Red Impulse raced out the door.

Terrifying screams were heard from behind the security doors. Nambu used his pass to override the code, that his kids had used to lock it. The door slid open and there stood the two death angels, and on the floor was bits and pieces of the prisoners. They had slowly tortured and killed them. Nambu walked in and faced his boys.

"Eagle, Condor. Come with me now." They followed him out, and the guards were staring at the carnage on the floor, and the walls. Red Impulse looked too, surprised at the anger the two young men had, and what they were capable of.

Nambu paced in front of the boys who had transformed back. He looked at each one, but both gave him back the cold stares.

"I should fire you both, and bring you up on charges. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you crazy?"

"They deserved it, you know that." Nambu looked at Joe and shook his head.

"Joe, I could expect you to do this, I can even understand that Ken is not thinking clearly at the moment. But Joe why didn't you talk him out of it? Be the voice of reason for once?"

"Because I understand. I looked out for him, I went with him. Like a brother would do. We fight for each other. Jun is one of us. Fire us if you want." Nambu threw up his hands and turned to Ken.

"Ken? do you know what Jun will think when she finds out what the two of you did?" What about her?"

"She will understand, can't just sit around and do nothing." His voice trailed off as he dropped his head.

"Ken.." He lowered his voice and softened it. "I understand, I do. But take some time. You will all get your chance to go after them I promise you. Just not now. Concentrate on helping Jun come back to us." Ken looked up at him, and a soft sad smiled touched his lips.

"Alright. For now." Nambu knew what would happen if Jun died. It was clear. The phone rang and Nambu went to answer it. "Yeah, what? Okay we will be right up." He hung up and turned to the boys. "Come on, Jun just woke up, and the doctors say they think she will make it. The boys looked at each other and headed out the door at a run.
