I do not own Sailormoon or Outlaw Star

Without further ado here's chapter six to Thicker Than Water

Thicker Than Water

Summary- What if when Harry was suppose to kidnap Melfina, he meet Usagi and grew obsess with her? Would Harry's obsession get to the point that he had to choose her over family? What if Usagi also fell in love with Harry but also at the same time fell in love with the same guy her uncle had a crush on?

I do not own Sailor Moon or Outlaw Star. I don't really know why I started this. I guess because I don't see that many Outlaw Star crossover fanfiction and all the ones that I do see have Gene/Usagi (Serena) as the couple. I wanted to do something different. So here is the first ever Harry McDougal/Usagi couple done I hope.

Thicker Than Water Chapter Six- Gene's Big Escape: Take Off Of A Great Adventure

Gene opened his navy eyes and stared into a pair of cerulean blue that belong to a very concerned and hysteric Usagi. He continued to stare into Usagi's never blinking once. His stare was unnerving and unwavering. Usagi didn't like the way he was staring at her; it was like he was looking at her about also through her. It scared her shitless to no end. No one she ever met had a stare like that, not even Chaos' had a hateful stare like that. It was inhuman and inalienable. He stare was so cold and emotionless like every single emotion had been sucked out of him even the tiniest bit of pain.

"Are you all right Gene." Usagi asked, he was just staring at her with a blank look on his face, one of the ones that crossed her face so many times in Haruna-san's class. Gene's look frightened her though. Gene seemed too caught up in his own little world to realize what was going on around him. With Gene like this he was useless to them. He was the only one that was able to fly the ship.

Without Gene to pilot then they were sitting ducks. Sitting ducks during the hunting season and Usagi didn't want to be made into duck stew. Why did she have to fallow after her feelings and come see about Gene's condition. She knew it was the right thing to do though she couldn't stay at home while Gene could be on his deathbed taking his last breath without telling him that she was in love with him. Or was she?

"Gene snap out to it. Now is not time to be day dreaming about all of your lady friends." Usagi was starting to become frantic. A slap to the face had not broken his trace. Normally when she slapped him it would do the trick every time she tired it. Gene would wake from his trace with a silly grin on his face and ask her why she had slapped him in his handsome face. That she would ruin the beauty that some many women appreciated unlike her.

"Melfina what's wrong with him? How come he isn't responding to any of my actions. He should have snapped out of his state by now. Has the poison taken its affect on him already?" Usagi begin to cry she didn't want Gene to die! She was sure that Melfina and her would be able to cleanse the poison from his system. Her their attempt not been able to remove all the poison?

An upset Usagi turned to Melfina to see that the other girl was in the same trance like state Gene was in, each of them staring into the others eyes not blinking once or acknowledging the fact that there was life outside of their little world. Usagi watched on as Melfina's hand reached up to stroke Gene's face. Melfina's hand never made it to Gene's face as Usagi had knocked it aside. The blond looked down at her hand surprised at her action. Was she jealous of the fact that Gene was somehow connected to Melfina or to the fact that she made an attempt touch her man's face?

How can I be jealous of Melfina at a time like this? She is only trying to save his life and here I am acting like some jealous green-eyed monster. I'm either spending too much time with Rei or watching too many dramatic soap operas. I think it's the soap operas. Besides when did Gene become my property, he is his own man and can make his own decisions.

"I can help you Gene, let me help you. I can be of use to you. I can save you." Melfina unchantly said as she made another reach for Gene's face.

The puzzled blond watched on as a dim glow came from Melfina and surround around Gene. She spotted a small spark of life that had came back to Gene's eyes. Maybe they hadn't been too late to save Gene, Melfina just needed her help to start the cleansing process.

"Usagi! We have to get out of here! We are being surrounded." Rei shouted as she burst into the room. "Back outside are some long-armed mecha, the pirates' mechanized soldiers. They are approaching pretty fast and they look like they mean to take care of business and don't care who gets hurt in the process."

The blue haired genius rushed of to her friend and reach out to grab her by her arm. "We can't uses the ships beams on them because they won't go through the mecha, and they're too close for us to use the missiles. Suzuka, Makoto, and Rei won't be able to hold them off much longer."

The screen in front of the pilot seat comes on blinking words saying that there is an incoming message. After a last final beep Fred face appears on the screen. "Gene, Gene! Can you hear me Gene!" Fred's voice echo's through the nearly empty room.

"Oh what are you doing on Gene's spaceship Usagi? I thought you and your friends went out somewhere." Her uncle asked seeming to forget his reason for calling. "Oh, well, never mind just let Gene know that the Kei pirates are going to be coming to Sentinel III to come after him."

"You told the pirates where Gene was for money, but called to warn Gene about it so he wouldn't get hurt didn't you Oji-san?" Usagi asked crossing her hands over her chest as she read her uncle like a book. Her uncle wasn't a dirty business man he just took money from just about everyone as long as it was the right price offered to him, that or his precious life was threatened.

"The pirates mean to come here and start a big fuss over Gene! I don't see why they want him so bad." Usagi was getting upset about the fact that the Kei pirates were coming after Gene. Sure she knew she shouldn't be getting upset because Gene probably did something stupid like killed one of lower Kei pirates for a bounty, which then he deserved whatever was coming to him because that was a big no, no.

"Don't worry about what I did sweetie just know that I did it to protect me and you. Besides, the money they offered seemed to have a lovely glow and smell to it. Not to mention that it helped pay that crazy stalker friend of yours off. I paid Minako to leave me alone for the next two hours." Fred stated.

Indeed it did seem that her uncle had paid Minako an undisclosed amount of money to leave him alone and give him some peace and quiet because in the background she could see the blond fanning herself with a few brand new looking hundred dollar bills.

That money wouldn't even last her an hour if she made to The Glamour Look. Money was like water in the summer that was left outside. It evaporated quickly after being left out. That was how money was with Minako, never lastly long is there was a shopping place nearby to were she could spend it.

Besides even if her Uncle Fred had paid the stalker blond off so that she wouldn't bother him that wouldn't stop her from invading his space. Her definition of invading someone's space was to sit really close to someone and just not say one word. To follow them around like she was a magnetic on its opposite side.

Usagi shook her head at her friend Minako. She really wondered if she was dropped on her head as child because of her behavior. As for her case she just had the uncle she had, that's why she was like she was. Usagi was able to make a comment as Jim came into the rooming shouting.

"The pirates are coming! The pirates are coming!" He proceeded to run around acting like a chicken with its head cut off. He sounded like he was Paul Reverie coming to tell the Americans that the British were coming to attack. " I'm too young to die! What are we going to do I don't want to die!"

"Calm down Jim." Usagi's head whipped around so fast that she gave Ami whiplash just from watching all her hair twirl around her. Usagi stood, or rather sat face to face with Gene. He just gave her a silly look as if he was a cat that got both the canary and the cockatoo.

"When did you wake up?" She asked trying to show that she wasn't concern about him. Of course Gene saw through her attempt. When was the Fred's niece not concerned with his well being? If she was anything like her uncle then she was concerned but unlike her uncle she didn't like to show it.

"While ago, just a few seconds before Jim here came in squeaking like a chicken." He laughed as he put his hand on Jim's head. Usagi looked at Gene, it appeared that all the effects of the poison were gone and he was healthy again except for the wounds that he had. "Thanks Mel, Usa." Gene said before he got into the pilot's seat only in his boxers.

"Put on some clothes would'cha Gene." Jim asked as he adverted his eye from the older man's body. Ami too looked away with a faint blush on her cheeks. Surprisingly, not from embarrassment of seeing a grown man almost fully naked but from all the thoughts that ran through her mind at the sight of Gene's gorgeous body.

Who wouldn't want to fantasize about Gene's body? Sure he had some battle scars but aside for those he was sexy. The scars just improved his image and made him even more sexy and appealing to the women's wondering eyes.

"Would you rather have me pilot us out of here to safety only in my clad in boxers, or would you rather I take the time to put on some clothes and get us all killed in the process?" Gene asked the young boy. In his opinion Jim really needed to get over his shyness about seeing another guy naked. But then again he usually wore more clothes around the boy. But that was beside the point.

When Gene received no answered from Jim or objections from anyone else he assumed that everyone wanted to stay alive and be piloted to safety. Who wanted to be killed by a Kei pirate? He heard rumors that the Kei pirates tortured their captives or rather unfortunate victims in the most usually and cruelest ways. He wasn't the one who wanted to find if this kind or rumor was true or not.

Out of no where a Gilliam pops up. " Gene the mecha are trying to get in. If you are going to do anything then now is the time to do it. Are we going to take off or are we going to let the Kei pirates adduct me? If the mange to adduct me then they will take me to who knows where and have all these horrid people trying to take me apart and see how I work and whatnot." Gilliam sounded panicked. He didn't want anyone taking him apart.

Gene grinned as he hopped into the pilot's seat. " I say we get the hell out of here. I hope that everyone's here. I hate to fry someone to death because they were caught under or around the thrusts."

The sound of the compression of air was heard through the control as Mel got in her chamber.

"What is that tube of water for Melfina?" Usagi asked as she watched the android float around in the gel like water.

"Maybe it's suppose to preserve her battery or something." Makoto shrug before she poke the glass with her finger. It looked like fun just to be able to float around in water while she slept.

"Androids don't recharge their batteries Mako-chan. They are not like us humans. We need nourishment and food to stay energized while the androids have an endless supply of energy. Sort of like how Usagi's has a mouth for a bottomless pit." Ami teased the blond girl as she gave a brief explanation to Makoto that Melfina wasn't human.

"But even the androids I hear about on the news still being developed and are in the testing stages at some point have to recharge and get energy. Energy can't be created or destroyed. That is the ultimate rule." Michiru stated as she stared at Melfina. She got this strange feeling about the girl. Something wasn't right about her all things need ways to maintain energy.

Michiru trusted her hime's judgment and calls but she couldn't be right about everything. She would have to consult her mirror in private when she got the chance. They were so close to Crystal Utopia being created that she didn't want anything to jeopardize it. She was looking forward to the time of peace and province. Not only that but the amount of alone time that she would be able to spend with her beloved senshi of the wind.

All of the senshi, except Usagi turned and looked at Melfina. If she wasn't human or a form of the recently discovered alien species it could that mean that she was a druid or youma instead of being an android. It had been a year since any signs of attacks form people that wanted the ginzuishou, Usagi, take over the blue planet they earth or all of the above. Occasionally one or two wanted Mamoru but as soon as they laid eyes on Usagi it all changed. Usagi had women bent on taking the whole world over madly in love with her and wanting to have hot monkey sex with her. It amused Usagi and everyone else to no end but that was a story for another time, their main focus was Melfina and if she was a threat to their peace.

No being human or not human could possibly go without needed some kind of way to get energy. They needed to watch out for her. Maybe Melfina was their newest enemy disguised as humanoid. If she weren't their enemy only the time they spent together would tell they were going on a long journey and she could feel it. If she were their new enemy she would dispose of her before she became a bigger threat.

"All right everyone hold onto something its going to be a bumpy take off." Gene reaches an arm out and pulls Usagi into the seat with him. "You get the privilege to sit with the pilot." Gene gave Usagi a smile that made her insides melt and her face turn bright red."

"Way to go Usagi." Makoto congratulated as she gave the girl a pat on the back. Usagi's face turned even redder at the motion.

"When have children present." Michiru scolded as she covered Hotaru and Jim's eyes from the scene with her hands.

"Look lady, I don't mean no disrespect but I ain't no child, believe me I've seen things go further." Jim said as he recalled all the times he walked in on Gene with women company and all the noise Gene and his company would make keeping him up late at night.

The back of Michiru's ears turned red as Hotaru stiffed a giggle. She liked this Jim Hawking character he was rather funny not to mention he didn't know about any of her abnormalities and he caused Mama-Mich's ear to turn red. The only other person that was able to do that was her Ruka-papa and she only did that when she was about to be put to bed.

Michiru tried to cover up her embarrassment as she pulled Jim toward her. " You should be ashamed of yourself Gene, exposing this young boy to such activities that shouldn't be done in the wide open. Who knows how much you have corrupted this young boy to your ways of thinking. Good thing I'm going along with you maybe I can teach him a thing or two about being a gentleman."

Jim felt like pudding as Michiru pulled him closer to her. Maybe it was the mother effect that she had on him or maybe fact that she was so close to one of his ideals. What ever it was he wished that the feeling wouldn't go away. Maybe this was what it felt like to be with a woman like Gene was every so often.

"Looks like you have another person who joined you admirer club Michiru." Rei laughed as she noticed the effected Michiru's present was having on Jim. He was hilarious to look at; he looked as though he could fall to the floor as a puddle of water of he was let go. " He looks as though he is in heaven."

Jim blushed and tried to pull away from Michiru's hold but she held on firmly. "Let me go would'cha I ain't a kid I don't need to be look after."

Gene laugh at Jim as he made his reach for the handle of controller that was used to pilot one of the two pairs of grappler arms. "Well I hope everyone is holding on tight onto something because here we go!" Gene sounded excited as he pushed a few buttons and the engines started up.

Using the grappler arm he picked a mecha off and threw it across the airfield. The mecha exploded immediately as it came in contact with a rather large tree. "Why don't you little buggers get out of the way! I'm trying to get the hell out of here!" Gene shouted as he squashed one mecha and throws another across the field with the grappler arms.

"Gene we still have one left and I fear that the grappler arms won't be able to reach him without doing damage to the Outlaw Star itself. I suggest that we take off and let him burn up in Sentinel's atmosphere." Gilliam suggested worried about bringing him to the spaceship and causing some kind of air hole that would rip open as soon as they were in outer space and kill them all.

Suzuka held out her wooden katana before her with a determine look in her eyes. " I'll take care of the boss of the mechas." Not waiting for a reply she makes her way to the outside of the ship. As she arrives outside the mecha machine is waiting for her. She wastes no time and jumps atop of a cane and comes down upon the mecha slicing it twice with her sword. The mecha explodes but the leader of the attack of the mechas makes it out in time and takes off before Suzuka can get in the finishing blow.

"Showoff," Gene says as he and the others watch Suzuka on the control room monitor, " I've could have gotten him with the grappler arms."

"Yea and gotten us all killed with his bad piloting skills. He couldn't hit a target if it was two feet in front of him" Rei muttered to Makoto causing the brunette to laugh.

"I heard that hot head and your just jealous that I'm interested in Usagi and not you." Gene commented, he know what right buttons to push to tick the priestess off.

Rei said nothing as she glared at the red head before returning her attention back to Suzuka on the monitor. She knew that Usagi was staring at her even though the blonde's eyes were on the screen.

"It's over for you. You will never live to attack and kill another person." Suzuka closes in on the boss like a wild cat ready to make the kill

"Spare me and I swear that I'll never left a finger to kill another being." He asks of Suzuka begging for his life as he reaches for his ray gun.

Suzuka lifts her sword and brings it down before the mecha pilot is able to shot her with his gun. "I don't think so." She whispers to his dead corpse, wiping the blood from her kill on his clothing. Places her sword back in it sheath she returns to the control room.

"Good job Suzuka." Gene praises Suzuka as she enters the room. Cracking his neck he gets a determined look on his face. "We're gonna blast off but the ground control doesn't want to let us because there was a disturbance on the grounds. But since we are outlaws we following our orders. Besides I can take off without guidance from the control tower... at least I think I can."

"My crew is a bunch of lunatics," says Gilliam as he holds on for dear life while in hiding. He was tried at being picked at like he was some kind of experiment or alien life form by Ami and Makoto. "I'll be surprised if we live through this take but I think I'm more worried about his landing."

Gene uses the monitor to check their surroundings. He notices that the cops are there and that they seem to be shouting. "I guess we can't come back to Sentinel unless we all feel like being arrested. How does that sound to you Suzuka?" He asks of the woman samurai.

Suzuka shrugs her shoulders not really care if she came back to Sentinel all she came for was a job and her service we no longer require. "I'll accompany you where ever you go so that I may seek my revenge on you."

Gene laughs at her antics. "That's fine with." Turning on the intercom he prepare to want the police about his forced departure. "I'm sorry fellow but I'm out of here. I suggest that you all stop trying to get close to the ship to get in, you'll get burned and I won't be held be responsible because I warned you." With amid protests from the control tower Gene prepares to blast off.

Gallium pops up blocking Gene's view of the monitor. "It's 30 seconds until launch Gene I hope that you know what you are doing."

Gene's face lights up with a mad grin as he hits Gallium out of his face. "Of course we will make it. I'm awesome whatever I do!"

Closing his eyes for a brief second Gene thinks a goodbye to Hilda. Opening his eyes he releasing the beam that were holding the ship captive and ship blasts off in the process breaking the loading dock and stairs.
