CHAPTER 6
DISCLAIMER AND COPYTRIGHT: I don't own Robotech so don't take me to court. If you want to uses any stuff from this fiction, all I ask is an email – wonga316@yahoo.com.au
AUTHOR'S NOTES This is a different spin on things from episode 28 - reconstruction blues. Will try to and a little more action and love/hate triangle with Rick, Lisa and Minmei. This is my first attempt at Robotech fan fiction. So please be gentle, NOT. Tell me if I suck. How else are we going to improve? Some of the guys made seem OC and I apologies to any die-hard fans. But it is fiction after all and anything can happen ;) I recommend that you watch the whole series before reading. It's not essential but I do make some references to events that occurred in the series and it's always a good comparison to what I'm writing. Roy and Ben will still be alive in this story
Warning: there is some harsh language and non-child friendly scenes. I'm don't think it's too bad compare to what we see on television but here is my warning anyway.

****
To say that Rick was still angry was an under statement. Lisa could see the whites of his knuckles as he griped the steering wheel. Minmei was in the back quietly looking out the window. Lisa was in the front passenger seat because she had to direct Rick to her place. No one dare to speak. Rick too angry to talk, Minmei too upset and Lisa just felt awkward. Lisa was first to speak but it wasn't exactly a conversation starter.
"At the next set of light, turn right"
Rick didn't reply but Lisa knew he heard her because he merge the Monaro over to the right lane. He stopped at the lights waiting for it to turn green.
"You know, I shouldn't listen to guys and kicked his arse" He said waiting for the lights.
"I don't want any more trouble, Rick please..." Minmei pleaded.
"That bastard needs to be taught a lesson. Acting all right and anti war. I never liked him from the start."
Minmei didn't say anything knowing that it would be useless to try and calm Rick down. In a funny sort of way she quite touched by Rick's compassion for her [I never Rick had this in him but it feels kind of good to have him on my side] Minmei thought
"Minmei do you want talk about it?" Lisa asked cautiously.
"Talk about it! The time for talk is over I'm going to get in my veritech and nuke that son of bitch." Rick exclaimed, racing through the set of lights since they have turned green.
"I happen about a month ago..."
****
"Ah... that was a good show." Minmei said
She had just finished a private show in one of the few remaining clubs. Kyle had convenced her to perform a few paid concerts since clarity didn't food in their mouth's and a roof over their heads.
"That was good, but you could have done better."
It was Lynn Kyle, her manager and promoter. He was draped across the lounge in the dressing room, tie loosely undone and with a champagne glass in his hand.
"Don't do that! You scared me half to death" she exclaimed. She then noticed the three quarter empty champagne bottle sitting in its cooler next to him.
"Sorry I didn't mean to. After all we wouldn't want the magnificent Minmei to be scared to death would we?" he said sarcastically.
She ignored the comment and continued walking over to the dressing table. Sitting down she began to comb her hair. Kyle picked himself up from the lounge and walked up behind Minmei. Placing the champagne glass on the dressing table started to give her a massage while looking at her in the mirror. At this point Minmei started to get concern. She could tell from the mirror that Kyle was obliviously drunk.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"What does it look like?" he questioned back.
"Look Kyle, I'm tired and I'm in no mood for your games." she said sternly.
For some reason Kyle took particular offence to this and snapped "I'm trying to help you relax and this is how you thank me. You wouldn't even be in this position if it weren't for me!" he yelled, picking up the glass he placed on the dresser and throwing it across the room. The smashing of the champange glass forced Minmei to face Kyle.
"Kyle you're drunk. Go home and sleep it off." Minmei replied standing up. The champagne glass smashing had her very worried. Kyle had never been violent against her.
"Home? You wouldn't have a home if weren't for me. You ungrateful little bitch" he yelled.
"What did you call me?" she yelled back.
"You heard me! If you think you're so good while don't try doing it on your own." he counter.
"Maybe I will. Captain Gloval offered me a special position in the RDF media and intelligence division. He said my singing could be used to defend the earth, something worth while instead of tyring to cash in on people who don't even have any money to begin with." She said.
"YOU'LL DO WHAT! It's that Hunter guy isn't it? Fine you want to join the military and become a baby killer, then do it. You and Hunter should be fucking happy singing and killer babies." Kyle yelled, storming out of the dressing room and slamming the door as he left.
****
"The morning after he apologies and I forgave him. I thought it would be just that night. After all Kyle and I did fight when we were little as kids. But I was wrong..." said Minmei as she finished telling her story.
Lisa was shocked. She never could have imaged Lynn Kyle acting that way towards anyone. She always pictured Kyle as she first saw him and the on SDF television when they were all orbiting the earth.
"Minmei I'm so sorry." Lisa said. She followed up with "And you Rick Hunter want to kill Lynn Kyle because he called you a baby killer."
"Hey! That not the complete story" Rick defended angrily.
"Rick's right Lisa. There's more..." Minmei said
****
Minmei had just finished showering and exited the bathroom with only a bathrobe around her. She and Kyle was staying at the best hotel in Granite City. Kyle had organized private show in the hotel. In return the hotel managers had given them the penthouse suite.
"You think the tight arse managers here would give us some of the profits from the entrance fee they are charging." Kyle said
"Why do you always have to be so negative about things? They gave us the best room in the hotel with free room service." Minmei replied
"You don't get it do you? We can't keep leaving off these hand outs forever" Kyle said, taking another drink from his whiskey bottle.
"I didn't start singing for the money or the glory and don't you think you have been drinking too much. It's not healthy." Said Minmei. Since the first fight in the dressing room a month ago, Kyle's drinking had grown into an addiction. Minmei would try to help him but he would have a bar of it.
"Healthy? I'll tell you what is healthy?" he said, standing and making his way towards Minmei. The whiskey bottle had carelessly dropped from his hand and spilling all over the carpet.
"Kyle what are you doing? It's spilling all over the place" Minmei said walking towards the bottle. She reached down to pick it up when two firm hands grasp her shoulders pulling her up.
"What are you doing Kyle? You're hurting me?" Minmei said trying to free herself
"I'll tell you what healthy is Minmei." He said seductively as his hand traced the front of her robe, exposing her ample cleavage.
"Let go Kyle. I'll... hmfp..." Minmei manage to say before leaned in kissed her forcefully. She could taste the whiskey on his lips and tongue as he invaded her mouth. Kyle was stronger and taller that Minmei and due to his martial arts training there was little much that she could do. Kyle stopped kissing and threw her back on the bed. He then pinned her down with his weight and arms. Minmei managed to get a slap in but it had no effect. Kyle torn her robe open and started kissing and biting her neck and chest. Minmei looked over to the right side of the bed and saw her hair drier. She remember unpacking it because she was going to take a shower after the show. She grabbed the drier and swung as hard as she could.
"Arrrgh..."
Minmei heard Kyle yell in pain as the drier smashed across his head. The plastic breaking into a thousand pieces but the main body of the drier remained intact. With tears streaming down her face ran into the bath took another quick shower.
****
"After that I packed some things and called Rick. I didn't even stop to look at Kyle..." Minmei said sadly with tears rolling down her face.
"Oh my God Minmei. I'm so sorry" said Lisa reach into the back and taking her hand.
"That rapist mother fucker. I'll kill him" Rick exclaimed. This had been the second time Minmei had told the story and he was even angrier if it was possible.
"Don't worry Minmei. You're safe here. We'll protect you." Lisa said reassuring the young woman.
"Thanks Lisa. That means a lot." Minmei said wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
"Rick, this my street you should see some of the guys waiting out front. We're already about 15 minutes late" Lisa said.
Rick did not respond but spotted Claudia and Roy waiting by her hatch back.
****
"They're late" Ben said
"Yeah and I can probably guess why..." Roy said. This was followed by elbow to his mid section from Claudia.
The trio were currently with the Max and Miriya playing with Dana . Everyone was smartly dress but not too dressed up. Smart casual, something other than the uniforms that they always seem to wear.
Claudia notice Ben looking towards Vanessa's direction and decide to say something "So, Corporal Dixon did you and Vanessa have time to talk about... stuff"
"What? Ah... Let's see... Ahem... Well... There's..." Ben muttered out trying to form a coherent sentence.
Claudia and Roy began laughing at Ben's response. Vanessa noticed the two of then laughing and Ben struggling. See had been secretly watching Ben from the corner of her eye. She had a feeling that Claudia and Roy were laughing at Ben's expense about her. She decided to speak up. "Hey what's so funny, you two?" she asked.
"Oh... Nothing V. Just having a joke with Ben here." Roy replied, giving him a slap on the back.
[Joke my arse Fokker. You better not are taking about my Ben and me] she thought.
"Hey they're here" Ben said. Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked out to towards the edge of the street.
The black Monaro rolled up and stopped a safe distance behind Claudia's hatchback. Lisa was the first to get out followed by Minmei. [Something seems wrong...] Claudia thought as the two girls approached the group.
"Hey guys. Sorry we're late" Lisa said to everyone
"No probs Lisa. And how is the lovely Ms Lynn Minmei tonight?" Roy said taking her hand and placing a kiss atop of it like a knight would.
"Thanks, Roy. It's been a long time guys, how is everyone?" Minmei asked. Everyone thought she sounded tired and not her usually lively self. The shake of Lisa's head confirmed to the group that something was wrong.
"Come on Minmei. I have to change out of this uniform. You can freshen up inside if you like?" Lisa said taking Minmei and leading her to the front door.
"Thanks Lisa but I have to get my bag." Minmei said. And just at the moment everyone looked up to see a one very pissed off Rick Hunter slamming the driver door and boot as he retrieved Minmei's bag from the back of the car.
"Hey, flyboy easy on the doors. They don't make them anymore." Roy said concerned about his car. That was true. The last major battle had destoryed pretty much all manufacturing plants around the world. The survivors had to start from stratchand rebuilding factories to produce luxury sports cars wasn't high on the priorty list to rebuild the earth.
"Take it easy! You tell that sack of shit to take it easy!" Rick replied half yelling.
Everyone was taken back from Rick's reaction. They had seen all him upset and angry but this was something new. He walked up the group and handled Minmei her bag.
"Do you want to tell us what happen maybe we can help" Max asked both Rick and Minmei.
Rick didn't say anything but Minmei spoke up "Last month..."
"Minmei, you don't have to if you don't feel like it" Rick said, almost protecting her.
"It's ok Rick. I have put you guys out by doing this so the least I could do is give everyone an explanation." Minmei said as she took hold of Rick hand for support
Lisa noticed [It's ok Lisa. She's just holding his hand for support. Nothing more] she thought as Minmei told everyone what had happen.
By the time she had finished, Kim was in tears and Max had walked over and hugged the girl. Everyone was shocked as Minmei retold her story.
"That bastard!" Roy exclaimed. He now knew why Rick was so pissed off. Ben was also quite angry at what had happen but choose to not say anything.
"Lisa, Claudia take everyone to the restaurant. Me and Rick and going to hunt this sick freak down and teach him a lesson." Roy ordered to the two women.
"That's the smartest thing I'll heard all night" Rick chimed in.
"Yeah. I'm in as well" Ben said.
All three started to walk towards the Monaro when Lisa, Minmei, Claudia and Vanessa all said "WAIT!"
The three pilots stopped and turned towards the four women. Their pleads weren't what stopped them from leaving it was more the fact that all four said the same thing at the same time. Each of them looked at each wth a slightly puzzled look.
"What do you hope to achieve by finding Kyle?" Claudia asked.
"It's not going to turn back time or help Minmei" Vanessa said.
"Achieve? I'm going to kick the shit out of him and show how him it feels. May be then he'll have second thoughts about doing anything like that again. No one hurts my friends or family" Rick said angrily.
Everyone was more taken back from what Rick had said. All of then knew how he felt and if they were in his situation they would probably do the same. Minmei decide something had to be done to stop them from making a mistake. She slowly walked up to Rick, closing the distance between them.
"Rick please listen to me. I want you to stay. Don't go after Kyle. If you go after him that's will make you just as bad as him. I know you're better than this, better then him. Please Rick don't go. I don't want to loose you too." She said as she fell into his body wrapping her arms around his waist. It took a while for the Minmei's words to sink into Rick but when they did he slowly returned the hug.
Lisa witness this and felt confused [I don't know what to make of this?] she thought. She finally decided that she was missing some of the action as well and walked up to the hugging couple. She placed a hand on Rick's shoulder and said "Minmei's right. We don't want you to do something stupid. I want you to stay as well."
Rick looked up from the top of Minmei's head. Lisa had a pleading look upon her face. Similar to what she had in the car on the way to pick up Minmei.
"Alright. I'll stay." He said, taking one arm from Minmei and placing on top of Lisa's. "But I don't have to like" he finished.
Both girls laughed at his comment. Minmei leaned up and gave him a sweet kiss on the check.
"Why didn't you try to stop me?" Roy asked Claudia.
"That's because my dense Roy Fokker, you are all talk and no action. I know Rick would seriously harm Kyle if given the chance. You on the other hand are a push over." Claudia remarked. This brought about a round of laughter from everyone. Roy had no response and just hung his head in defeat.
Vanessa had walked up to Ben and whispered into his ear "That was quite noble of Corporal Dixon. I could get use to this side of you." Ben turned a deep shade of red as a result and was unable to hide it from Max
"What's the matter Ben? You look like Vanessa has been telling you her sexy little secrets" he said. It was Vanessa's turn to go red as tomato in the face as another round of laughs started.
"Riiiiiiiccccccckkkk!" Dana exclaimed as she ran past everyone and jumped into his arms. Rick had to let go of Lisa and Minmei to compensate to the baby Zentraedi launching herself at him.
"Whoa... Hang on tiger." He said as she landed in Rick's arms
"Rick. I'm hungry. Food now!" She demanded.
Lisa and Minmei looked at the scene with Rick and Dana with amazement. Each thinking very similar thoughts
[I wonder what a family with Rick would be like...] / [Rick would make such a good father...]
The happy moment was interupted by a skreching of a car as it power slid across the middle of the road stoping in the middle blocking both directions. The driver of the vehicle climbed out and shouted "Minmei. Oh thank God I found" the driver of the vehicle was Lynn Kyle.

AUTHOR'S NOTES Well chapter 6 completed. As stated at the start, there is some harsh language and adult situations in this chapter. I'm not sure if the rating should go up. But if iget any complaints I'll bump it up. I'm not sure if I did the near rape scene with Minmei and Kari right (after all it was my first attempt)
If Dana talking and being 3 years old has anyone raising eyebrows don't be too alarmed. I'm not an expect on infants but I reckon 3 year old as able to string some word together. That and I like to think the Zentaedi blood she has helps.
Once again thanks for reading and any abuse / comments / reviews you know where to find me. Apologies for the late upload. I've been sick lately and the creative juices have not been flowing.

AUTHOR'S NOTES This is a different spin on things from episode 28 - reconstruction blues. Will try to and a little more action and love/hate triangle with Rick, Lisa and Minmei. This is my first attempt at Robotech fan fiction. So please be gentle, NOT. Tell me if I suck. How else are we going to improve? Some of the guys made seem OC and I apologies to any die-hard fans. But it is fiction after all and anything can happen ;) I recommend that you watch the whole series before reading. It's not essential but I do make some references to events that occurred in the series and it's always a good comparison to what I'm writing. Roy and Ben will still be alive in this story
Warning: there is some harsh language and non-child friendly scenes. I'm don't think it's too bad compare to what we see on television but here is my warning anyway.

To say that Rick was still angry was an under statement. Lisa could see the whites of his knuckles as he griped the steering wheel. Minmei was in the back quietly looking out the window. Lisa was in the front passenger seat because she had to direct Rick to her place. No one dare to speak. Rick too angry to talk, Minmei too upset and Lisa just felt awkward.

Vanessa had walked up to Ben and whispered into his ear "That was quite noble of Corporal Dixon. I could get use to this side of you." Ben turned a deep shade of red as a result and was unable to hide it from Max
"What's the matter Ben? You look like Vanessa has been telling you her sexy little secrets" he said. It was Vanessa's turn to go red as tomato in the face as another round of laughs started.
"Riiiiiiiccccccckkkk!" Dana exclaimed as she ran past everyone and jumped into his arms. Rick had to let go of Lisa and Minmei to compensate to the baby Zentraedi launching herself at him.
"Whoa... Hang on tiger." He said as she landed in Rick's arms
"Rick. I'm hungry. Food now!" She demanded.
Lisa and Minmei looked at the scene with Rick and Dana with amazement. Each thinking very similar thoughts
[I wonder what a family with Rick would be like...] / [Rick would make such a good father...]
The happy moment was interupted by a skreching of a car as it power slid across the middle of the road stoping in the middle blocking both directions. The driver of the vehicle climbed out and shouted "Minmei. Oh thank God I found" the driver of the vehicle was Lynn Kyle.

AUTHOR'S NOTES Well chapter 6 completed. As stated at the start, there is some harsh language and adult situations in this chapter. I'm not sure if the rating should go up. But if iget any complaints I'll bump it up. I'm not sure if I did the near rape scene with Minmei and Kari right (after all it was my first attempt)
If Dana talking and being 3 years old has anyone raising eyebrows don't be too alarmed. I'm not an expect on infants but I reckon 3 year old as able to string some word together. That and I like to think the Zentaedi blood she has helps.
Once again thanks for reading and any abuse / comments / reviews you know where to find me. Apologies for the late upload. I've been sick lately and the creative juices have not been flowing.
