Lost…?

Chapter 10: Attacked at a crucial time

"Well...looks like he has a mental breakdown. His high fever isn't making it any better either. The most worrying problem is that he won't be able to get out of bed anytime soon which means we're short of one pilot," Shinn overheard his Captain talking to the XO.
Shinn had to carry the unconscious pilot to the infirmary which wasn't a very close distance to their room. Shinn banged his utensils down and stood up from the table.
"Shinn...? (?;;) " Lunamaria questioned.
Shinn walked away from his half-eaten lunch and went to the holding cells. The entrance slid open to let the raven haired pilot in. He strode past Goku's cell, fuming. When he finally reached the fifteenth cell, Shinn blew his top.
"You d! How could you do this to him! Why of all people HIM! Why! Why... did you even... do it...?" Shinn fell to the floor, defeated.
"I don't know..." Came a voice from amethyst eyed monk.
All this reminded him of his hurtful past. An old close friend of his, whose parents divorced, fell into despair which caused a mental breakdown. She had fallen into a coma and had never woken up. She literally became a living vegetable. Shinn didn't want Rey to end up like his other friend. Shinn was about to say something but the siren was faster.
"Condition RED! Condition RED! All units report to the briefing room!" came the voice in the speaker.
"What the...! We're being attacked! Now! Shit!" Shinn dashed to the briefing room.

Sanzo stood up and straightened his clothes. He took out his gun and shot at the lock.
"Blasted doors..." Sanzo cursed when the door didn't open.
Instead, he kicked the door down. He casually walked to Goku's cell and pulled the door out. Goku looked up at his master. Tears were still flowing non-stop.
"Come on, Goku. Get out," Sanzo ordered his pet.
Goku just shook his head and stayed at his place.
"You'll be happy if I'd said sorry? Right? 'I'm sorry' that's what you want to hear right! Fine..." Sanzo went into Goku's cell and extended his hand, as he did before. "I'm sorry."
Goku took a long look at the extended hand before holding onto it. His tears had stopped. Sanzo pulled the saru out of his sitting position and walked out, Goku tagging behind.
Goku asked where they were going. Sanzo just shrugged and walked further. Sanzo's instincts were telling him where to go and he was just following it. Very soon, they reached the mobile suit hangar. There were three green machines, two of which were being repaired.
"Goku... do me a favour and get the both of us into that robot," Sanzo whispered into the boy's ears.
Goku didn't know what Sanzo wanted to do but he happily complied and jumped to the cockpit, carrying Sanzo. Sanzo quickly got into the seat and ordered Goku to stand beside the chair and not touch anything. Sanzo didn't what to do, but his hands were flying around the buttons. The entrance to the cockpit closed and the Zaku moved.

"Captain! A Zaku is trying to sortie!" An engineer reported to the Bridge.
"What? Meyrin! Get contact with it!" Captain Gladys commanded.
"What do you want old hag?" Sanzo asked rudely, beads of sweat dripping.
"You have no permission to pilot that mobile suit! I order you to stop right now!"
"You have no control over how my mind thinks! NOBODY ORDERS ME AROUND!" Sanzo stated.
He was determined to get out. But he didn't know where to go.
"Fine. Take the Zaku and leave. We can afford to lose one mobile suit. Open the hatch!"
The Zaku prepared to launch with its rookie pilots.

To be continued... :D
