Chapter 5
Jin's outburst
Gaignan entered the bridge and saw that the only people missing were Ziggy and Momo. The meeting was about to start when Jin suddenly ran at Gaignan. "You bastard!" he pushed Gaignan up against the wall and put his sword to his throat. Everyone was surprised at his outburst. Jin was usually the calm one! "How dare you attack my sister! I'm going to make you pay!"
Shion ran to Jin and tugged at the arm that held the blade. "No, Jin! Please, don't!"
"Shion, he attacked you!" he didn't take his eyes off of Gaignan. "He is getting what he deserves."
"Jin." Gaignan said cooly. "You must believe me... that wasn't me who attacked Shion. I wouldn't harm her at all! I was being possesed by something called the Red Dragon. That's what attacked her not me." Jr. flinched at that remark.
"How do I know... you're not lying." Jin kept the blade steady at Gaignan's neck.
"You just... have to trust me."
Shion's next plea shocked everyone just as much as Jin's outburst. "Jin, please don't! I love him! You can't kill him!" Jin looked from Shion, to Gaignan, to Shion again. Sighing, he put his sword back in his sheath. Shion said a quick thanks and ran to Gaignan, embracing him.
"You're off the hook for now..." Jin said, not startled at Shion's love for Gaignan. "But I'm warning you, do that again... and I will slit your throat."
Rubbing his neck, Gaignan went to the side of the room opposite of Jin. Shion followed, and Cpt. Matthews started the meeting. "Well now, aren't we one big happy family." he sighed. "As some of you may or may not know, the ship has almost completed it's repairs. We just need a couple more hours, and we'll be off. Anyone who wants to help is welcome to."
"Captain!" chaos suddenly interrupted. "I'm sensing a large ship heading this way, from space!"
"Another ship?" Matthews asked. "What the hell would anyone want on a Gnosis filled planet?"
"Can you identify what kind of ship it is chaos?" Jr. asked. "Is it U-Tic?"
"No... it's not U-Tic..." he muttered, pressing a few buttons. "It seems to be... a large A.G.W.S."
"No..." Jr. was at a loss for words. "It can't be..."
"Yes." Gaignan replied. "It's Albedo."
