A lull in the war 3

A/N: I do like Jun/Ken stories, don't find many of them to read. But I really love Joe/Jun, as he isn't all work, and he is romantic.

The phoenix was flying again through the skies, and there was no excitement among the five who sat in her seats. They were headed to a base, in the mountains. Ken looked at Jun and then Joe, he would have a word with Joe later. Warn him about ever hurting her. He had waited too long, and had lost. 'I hope you are careful Jun, never know what diseases that old sock has.' Then he felt a bit guilty for that thought, as he knew Joe was a good man. He just lived his life like there was no tomorrow. It just wasn't Ken's way.

Jinpei sat with his video game, playing it on silent mode. Jun glanced over at Joe and smiled, as she watched the expression on his face change from love to something more wicked. She blushed and turned away. 'I love that man.'

The mountains came up and they could see them rising up sharp and jagged amongst the greenery of the valley below. "Jun scan, find us an opening. Ryu keep us out of radar."

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Ryu had stayed back on the ship, waiting. The rest of the team was hiking throught the dense woods to the entrance. None spoke as they walked, all were ready for the new battle coming.

Ken stopped at the edge of the woods and motioned for the others to stop. The entrance was just in front of them. A large black metal door and several guards walked in front of it. With hand signals Ken gave his orders. Joe pulled his gun, and fired, and Ken threw his birdrang, as both guards went down. The four rushed to the door. Ken was checking it out, and the electronic lock next to it. He glanced at Jun who pulled out a small bomb and placed it on the lock.

It only made a small explosion but it did unlock the door. Ken lead the way with Joe at the end as they entered the complex. Inside the floors, walls, ceiling were done up in blood red. They moved down the hall, two on one side and two on the other weapons drawn.

They came to a fork in the hallway, Ken motioned for Jun to follow him, and Jinpei followed Joe. Joe moved down the hall to the left, his eyes burned with intensity, ready to take out Galactor. A door to his left opened and some men in green came out, startled at seeing the Condor facing them. Joe ferel smile scared them, as he attacked. He jumped at them, fist and feet moving in blinding speed.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCccc

Ken moved silently down the right hallway, listening for any sound. He turned and used hand signals ask Jun where to. She answered the same way and they continued on. Down the hall and then turning to take another one to the left this time they came across a set of swinging doors. Jun touched Kens shoulder and nodded. They moved to the doors. Opening the doors they found it was empty, except for the electronic equipment, and computers that kept the place running. There was a screen to the right, playing a broadcast, it was their old enemy, as he told his troops how he would conquer the world easily. That he had the perfect plan. Both Ken and Jun listened to his broadcast, and smiled.

'That was nice of him to tell us about it.' Ken motioned for Jun to plant her charges. She moved over to the equipment and opened some panels and Ken moved around the room and kept watch.

Just as Jun finished planting the bombs, well hidden. There was a popping sound and hidden doors opened in the wall and those guys in that ugly green came out, firing. Both Ken and Jun jumped, and came down fighting.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Joe had taken down a lot of the enemy as the stains on his suit proved. He got the plans for the new mecha in his posession and he had destroyed their weapons room. They wouldn't be getting any weapons out of there. He and Jinpei were running down the hall, headed for where Jun and Ken were. As they grew closer they heard an explosion, and Joe yelled…"Jun!"

Smoke rolled out from where the swinging doors had been. Fire raged inside, and the smoke choked Joe and Jinpei as they came in. The room was a mess, bodies everywhere, some in pieces. "Jun, Ken!" Yelled Jinpei and then coughed.

Joe searched the room with his eyes. Looking for white or pink. He found it under a piece of heavy equipment. He and Jinpei hurried over, and then saw the blue boot and knew it was Ken. Joe tried to lift the heavy piece and couldn't alone. He turned when he saw Ryu enter.

"You were to stay with the ship."

"I know Joe, but I thought you might need me."

"Well we do, help me get this off of Ken." Ryu putting his muscle into it, the two young men lifted it off of Ken, as Jinpei pulled Ken out from under it. Joe looked down at his friend/brother/commander. Hey lay there, covered in blood, jaw broken, a deep cut on his chest. Joe turned and looked around again. Where was Jun. He moved away leaving Ken to Ryu, as Jinpei joined him in the search.

Jinpei was crying as he searched. 'Where are you sis?"

"Jun! Please answer me, help me find you!" Yelled Joe. He was desperate, as he single handedly lifted pieces far too heavy for him, as he moved like a madman trying to find her.

Twenty minutes passed and Ryu spoke up. "Joe we have to get Ken to the hospital or he may not make it."

"Then you take him, I am staying her and finding my wife!"

Ryu turned to him with a shocked look on his face. "Your wife? You and Jun or married?"

"Yes, during our vacation. I can't loose her, Ryu. She is everything to me." Ryu came over to him seeing the tears that ran down the mans cheeks. He had never seen Joe cry before, and he could see how much this hurt him.

"But if you find her, how will you get her out? I wont be here."

"I'll find a way. Just take care of Ken."

"I'll be back as soon as I can." Ryu went and picked Ken up and headed for the entrance. Joe stood in the middle of the floor, as Jinpei stood at his side, crying. "Jun, baby where are you!"

"Did you really marry Jun, Joe?" Ask the young boy as he looked up at Joe and wiped his nose on his glove.

"Yes, the best thing I ever did." Replied Joe as he looked down at the boy, and put an arm around the skinny shoulders. "I can't live without her."
