This story takes place after the series end and may contain a few spoilers. Some events may be referenced from the dub while others may be referenced from the sub. Some I took some liberties with.
REBIRTH
by NinjaNao
Sylia:
News doesn't reach here as fast as I am used to. Not that I have been trying to seek it out either. It's not that I don't care, don't get me wrong. I just knew in my heart that everything would be all right with those three. They were different. Not like the first team that I had assembled. Sure, Priss was in it for the money at first, Nene wanted to prove to the world she wasn't useless and Linna wanted to be a superhero, but in the end, they, we all became friends. I would never have been able to defeat Galatea if not for them.
It didn't surprise me in the slightest when Nene contacted me. I figured she would be the first to contact me. She informed me of what had happened. She and Linna were okay. They had been grilled by the military about the hardsuits but couldn't and wouldn't if they could tell then anything. Nene is back at the A.D. Police still working as a dispatcher but also does special assignment hacking. She is not supposed to tell anybody about the hacking part. I find it amusing that Linna has reopened my lingerie shop given Linna's character, though not as amusing if it had been Priss. Now that news would have sent me packing back to Tokyo faster than you could say "Knight Sabers Action!" just to see it.
Mackey is doing well. He is slowly regaining his humanity and memories. I don't want to push him to remember. Nigel says that it would be best to let him sort them out on his own. From what he can tell, his memories are just a jumbled mess. Nene has asked in many of her emails how he is doing. I know that she cares about him very much. I don't have much to tell her. I try to be encouraging but he doesn't seem to remember her yet. He is however beginning to recognize the Knight Sabers and seems to pay particular attention to the pink one.
Nigel is not happy out here in the country. He is doing his best to support me, but there are only so many modifications one can make to a tractor. He still works with Mackey. Mackey enjoys working with Nigel. Nigel enjoys having Mackey around. I am happy that Nigel is here with me. I want to return to Tokyo but Mackey is a little too boomer like and I fear retaliation. Nigel says that we should wait a while longer.
I received an email from Priss. I still chuckle at it's bland contents. "Hi. Doing fine. Maxon, Jaid gone. ;-; Fox and I found new members. Leon=moron. Got record deal. How are Nigel and Mackey?" Ha! No mention of me. How typical. So unemotional, detached. I know she deliberated neglected to mention me. I replied that I was doing fine and so were Nigel and Mackey. I congratulated her on her record deal and expected to receive a sample.
I will return soon. I miss the big city too much.
Next Chapter: Linna. Sorry this one is so short...
