I do not own Outlaw Star!

(Set after the series of Outlaw Star)

Just cursing around space the outlaw star was coming into port in blue heaven and was low on supplies, after the whole galactic leyline ordeal they needed a break and also needed to tell swanzo about it. For some reason in gene's mind melfina, suzuka, and aisha were acting a little weird. But that is hardly the case for you see all three women had a crush on gene and were afraid to show it.

Suzuka fell for gene because he was a strong warrior and also helped her through many hardships by helping her find her family's killer to get revenge, Aisha fell for him for an unknown reason but she figured it was for pride because gene beat her in battle so she didn't think to much about it. Melfina fell for gene because he had been with her from the start and helped her find her past and her destiny.

Gene himself was in love with all three girls but since there was no way he could have all three and also he didn't want to break the hearts of the other two if he chose so he just didn't choose at all until he could figure some personal things out. Jim being completely out of the loop figuring gene was a moron and the girls were having their period.

Hey, gene how's it going yelled swanzo, just weird swanzo but we can finally but hilda's wondering to rest said gene. What do you mean asked swanzo, we found the galactic leyline and let me tell you it was a big pain in the ass said aisha. Really now that I'd like to here said swanzo, after gene tells swanzo about the ordeal something hits swanzo. Oh, I think I got your next journey here said swanzo, really do tell said jim eager to find out what it is. There is a legend about a treasure able to give the person who finds it more power than a c'tarl c'tarl, it is the amulet of the dragon and it's also said that whoever finds it and is able to use it gets one wish. However, to get the amulet you have to be willing to bet your lives said swanzo. Anything else about it asked gene faking interest, yeah they also say that the thing is possessed by the spirit of a real dragon and will only grant its power to the one it deems worthy and that's all I know said swanzo.

Really now that's my kind of treasure load up the outlaw star with some supplies and we'll be off said gene. Great and while we handle that you guys could hit the shops and stay for the day said swanzo, thank you for the invitation said suzuka. Right we'll be back tomorrow and leave ok said gene to the group, yep said everybody but melfina was silent.

What's up mel asked gene a little worried. It's nothing I would like that a lot said melfina a little nervous and blushing a little.

While in town jim went to reserve some rooms at the hotel and the rest went shopping. Suzuka went to look for some new weapon, aisha went to look at some weightlifting equipment, gene went to a bar to find out more info on the amulet, and melfina went to the jewelry shops.

She was just browsing around when all of a sudden something caught her eye, a pendent with an emblem of a dragon on it. Excuse me but can you tell me about this piece she asked a salesperson. Well this is a unique piece, there are only two others like it, and we found them at the entrance to the temple of the dragon the salesperson said. How much for all three asked melfina, about 200 dollars for all three miss said the salesperson. I'll take them said melfina while grabbing her purse thinking she'll keep one and give the others to suzuka and aisha.

Jim just finished getting rooms for the gang and was about to call them on the radio when he spotted melfina running towards him with a bag in her hand. Hey, mel what's up asked jim a little curious because he had never seen melfina take an interest in jewelry before. Nothing jim but you won't believe what I found said melfina hiding her bag. I give up a new necklace said jim a little annoyed but having fun. No this said melfina while taking out one of the brooches and showing jim. Wow what is it asked jim, it's a brooch and the lady said it was found at the temple of the dragon said melfina. Wait isn't that the temple we went to and destroyed on the way to the galactic leyline asked jim. I don't know maybe said melfina, anyway I booked us some rooms so we have a place to crash for the night let's go find the others said jim; ok said melfina while running to catch up with jim.

Gene didn't have any luck at the bar but beat a guy down and got a bounty on him for 500,000 dollars and was on the way back to the hotel when he spotted suzuka window-shopping at clothing and decided to offer his opinion. Hey, suzuka how's it going asked gene getting a surprised look out of suzuka. Oh gene it's you said suzuka with a blush on her face, yeah I finished up at the bar and got some extra spending money and since I saw you looking at a wardrobe change I thought I'd help in your choice said gene. I appreciate this gene said suzuka while they walked into the shop hoping to get suzuka some new clothes so she could look like a normal person instead of a swordswoman gone nuts.

They saw and tried many different styles and outfits but didn't find any that suited suzuka at all until they saw one item in the back. It was a pair of hip hugger jeans and a set of a tube top and a cover like melfina's only black instead of blue. Suzuka liked them and gene didn't have a problem so he bought them for her and they both went in search of the others.

Aisha was done looking at weights (found none) and was on the way to the hotel when she ran into jim and melfina. Hey aisha did you find anything asked jim, nope nothing oh well; hey what is that melfina asked aisha pointing to her neck. Oh this it's a pendent I found at the jewelry store and I heard that it came from the temple of the dragon so I was sold said melfina a little bubbly. Really, cool and it looks great on you wish I had one said aisha a little down. Then here said melfina reaching into her bag to give aisha one of the other two pendants, for me why asked aisha a little confused. Because when I bought mine, I bought the rest of the set too and I thought I'd give them to you and suzuka said melfina. Wow mel that must have cost you a pretty penny said gene surprising the group as he and suzuka came up. Not really, the whole set cost only 200 dollars said melfina. That is sweet nice deal said jim a little impressed, here suzuka here is your pendent said melfina while giving suzuka the last pendent and throwing the bag away. For me thank you melfina just what I needed said suzuka which confused everybody but gene and suzuka. She got a new set of clothes said gene explaining everything and getting an understanding look from the others.

Well I got us rooms for the night so let's head over and crash said jim already ahead, hey jim what kind of rooms did you get asked gene a little concerned. Well a single and a room with two double beds said jim, ok I'll take the single you the rest of you will take the double beds said gene. Why asked melfina, well I think I can't trust myself around three beautiful women in a single room plus I want to avoid being called a pervert said gene. All the girls sighed as went on their way to the hotel for a good night's sleep.

(Next morning)

The gang was in the hanger getting the ship ready and everything checked out. Alright folks we're heading to the temple of the dragon; hey mel anything on the map asked gene yes it's about 3 jumps east of here said melfina. But aren't you afraid the McDougall brothers might want some payback for the galactic leyline asked aisha. Nah let them come because I have the best crew anybody could ask for said gene earning a collective sigh from the girls and a thumbs up from jim and a thanks from gallium. Let's find us a dragon said gene while leaving blue heaven.
