-Missing In Action-
Chapter four: Escape
Ken was laying on his bed an arm tucked behind his head the other stretched in front of him clasping a small navy box. He flicked it open and a ring smiled back at him the moonlight giving it a very surreal look. It was beautiful… perfect for her. The door to his room suddenly opened allowing Dearka to enter.
"You should really learn to knock or something." Ken said glancing at him "Or scream like Ami does throwing whatever she can get her hands on." Dearka smiled sitting on the vacant bed that was across from his.
"You going to propose?" Dearka asked
"Yeah. I was going to the other day but Yzak… " He trailed off sadly before closing the navy box shut with a snap. He sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. His hair hung over his shoulders now that he let it fall freely. "Having trouble sleeping?"
"Not really. I can sleep fine."
"What up then?"
"I've never heard Yzak bring up your name before so I'm kinda skeptical." Ken sighed flopping back on his bed
"Yzak didn't like talking about me much." Ken said slowly "I was kinda a wanted man a few years back so I suppose that's why."
"What did you do?"
"I can't tell you." Ken said looking at him apologetically "Sorry man."
Sighing Kira looked at the door his eyes narrowing when he heard shouting coming from the inside. Taking a deep breath he entered and immediately his ears were assaulted by the worse and most colorful curses one could hear. He walked to the bed and smiled seeing Birdy doing a number on Yzak's blood pressure. As he neared the bed Birdy chirped its name and flew to him.
"I see you met Birdy!"
"I'm going to kill Birdy!" Yzak was beside himself. "I'm going to torture the fucking thing!"
"You can't do that." Kira said seriously "It was a gift from a good friend of mine."
"I don't care! I'll kill your friend!"
"You shouldn't say things like that. Its not nice." Yzak stared at him blankly.
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen why?" Yzak's hands suddenly clenched into fists his own fingernails drawing blood.
"Your sixteen! Sixteen! I was defeated! Scarred! Nearly killed by a sixteen year old!" With that Yzak screamed bloody murder.
"You really need to get your anger under control." Kira said calmly. "It's bad for your health" Birdy chirped its agreement.
"Oh baby! I'm sorry I abandoned you! I had no choice!" Athrun glanced at the others curious of their expressions. Dearka and Nicol appeared to be thinking the same thing he was… 'This guy is off his rocker.' Ken walked over and hugged the very bottom of his mobile suit, which they had just finished locating and dragging back here. It had been fun trying to remain undetected but Ken had insisted that if he didn't get his suit back he was going to fight naked with a gun and a broken beer bottle. Amusing, as that may seem Ken would be worthless if he fought against an enemy soldier much less a mobile suit in such a situation. So Athrun took it upon himself to convince Nicol, and Dearka to help him search. Nicol had doubted that Ken would actually go out in battle naked but Dearka had agreed with Athrun saying that he would most likely stay true to his word and do so without hesitation.
"What's so special about that damn thing?" Dearka asked glancing at the red and white suit. Athrun shrugged showing that he had no answer.
"Well it does seem better equipped then the average mobile suit." Nicol said trying to look at it in a logical standpoint.
"I suppose." Dearka whispered back just as Ken turned to them with the brightest smile they had seen since he arrived.
"This here is the Tyrant!"
"Oh. Well that's nice." Nicol said kindly. Ken looked proudly at the mobile suit as he planted his hands on his hips and took a deep breath.
"I worked for seven months with Ami on this here masterpiece."
"You and Ami built this?" Dearka asked, "How long have you two known each other?"
"Almost two years." Ken said taking his shirt sleeve and rubbing off a stain. "Oh dear look at that dent."
"It's lacking an arm." Athrun pointed out and Ken's head snapped up to look.
"Oh my god! Your right!" With that Ken began to cry falling to his knees and hugging himself. "My baby is missing a-an arm!" he chocked out.
"You do know it can be fixed" Nicol offered and Ken stopped crying instantly.
"Oh right…I forgot." Ken cleared his throat getting to his feet. Wiping away the tears and brushing away the dirt he straightened his uniform and smiled. "Don't worry baby daddy's gonna fix ya!"
"Are you sure this guy is a solider?" Dearka asked. Athrun slowly shook his head.
"Dearka Elsman I seriously am having my doubts."
Yzak slowly opened his eyes and glanced to the person in the seat next to him. Kira was asleep the robotic bird in sleep mode snoozing on the boys shoulder. Yzak struggled against his bonds and blinked when his fist came and hit him in the face. His hand was free! Quickly glancing at Kira and Birdy he started to untie his legs and arm.
Now I know that this chapter is short and has mistakes so I apologize for that. I will fix them if anyone finds them and points them out. The next chapter WILL be longer I can guarantee it! I am also thinking about how this story will end and have three extremely sad endings and one happy one. So make it clear if you want a sad or happy ending. Give me a day or two for the next chapter! This story will be about 8 to 11 chapters long.
