Chapter one: Introduction
"No! Wait! I still have to talk to you!" Kaoru chased after Sanosuke, who was fleeing for his life. He had made Kaoru mad by staying out a little bit too late and coming home in the morning.
"Hey! Come on little missy! Settle down and maybe I will let you 'talk' to me! (Telepathy) 'Heck, I wouldn't even let her near me. Especially as she is now.'
"Listen, bird head, don't think I will go easy on you once I catch up!" Kaoru continued to chase after him with her bokken in her hand just waiting to attack him.
"Miss Kaoru, settle down, we don't need any fighting going on right now." Kenshin followed up on the two who were playing 'cat and mouse', Sano obviously being the mouse in the game and Kaoru actually being more like a lion.
Back at the dojo, Yahiko and Megumi were standing, watching the trio run around in circles in the middle of the road.
"Look at those guys, they're pathetic." Yahiko commented. Megumi sighed after a long pause and then shook her head. Then turned to walk back into the dojo.
"Hey, Megumi, where are you going?" Yahiko noticed Megumi as she started to walk away. "I am going to my room to rest a little while. Watching those three running around in circles gives me a headache." Megumi continued to head off to her room.
"Maybe I should stop them…nah." Yahiko continued to enjoy the entertainment he was receiving.
Shion was taking a walk through the Durandal to see all of its features, even though she had known it for a while. It would be nice to actually get away from the guys for a while, so she went to the foundation that was located in the Durandal.
"Maybe I can find something to do there…without the guys. Especially Jin." She stopped for a second, thinking about her brother. "Ah. Just forget it. I am going to do everything a girl would want to do." She continued on, thinking of things to buy and people to meet.
Shion arrived at the foundation and made her way to the suburb part of it. She looked around the shops and came out with three bags of things at the end of the time she was there.
"Ahhh…much better. Now, to think where I could enjoy myself even more. Maybe I will ask Captain Matthew's to take me to Second Miltia. I hope that he won't mind, of coarse, he doesn't like to use fuel on his 'Elsa', but it might be a possibility. It wouldn't hurt to try." Shion looked at her bags and then started to go back to the spaceship named Elsa.
"What? You guys don't have any business there though Shion! So why take a useless trip all the way across the galaxy?" Captain Matthews responded to Shion's question.
"Oh, come on. It's not that far." She complained, begging him to take her to Second Miltia.
"Shion, you shouldn't ask so much from Captain Matthews. It's not polite." Jin told her, acting like a father instead of a brother.
"Jin! Do you always have to tell me what to do? I am old enough to take care of myself. I mean, I AM 21." Shion argued. Jin shook his head and walked out of the room.
Then, Jr. walked into the room along with Chaos. "Hey Jr. Are you here to bother me too?" Shion guessed. Jr. was a cool kid. He was a machine also known as a U. R. T. V. He looked human and acted human too. He had red hair and his left ear was pierced. He used guns for weapons and he definitely had a cocky attitude. He wore Khaki pants with two belts hanging off to the right and a long red coat with devil wings on the back. His real name was Rubedo, but he insisted that they call him Gainun Kukai Jr. or Jr. for short.He had a so-called brother who was actually part of him named Albedo, who recently turned evil.
Chaos, on the other hand, was a pacifist. He tried to avoid battles and wanted the war for the legendary Zohar to stop. He had white hair and blue eyes. He had mystical ice powers and was pretty smart. He had a mysterious past and was involved in the Old Miltia crisis fourteen years ago.
"Nah. No matter how tempting it is to bother you in the state you are in now, but we do still have a mission. Remember? In the Omega System. We still have to get rid of the crazy person who took the Zohar." Jr. reminded. Shion looked at him and sighed.
"I don't want to continue the mission right now. I just want a little bit of a break, okay?"
"But, Jr. has a point Shion. In order to end the fighting sooner, we might as well continue." Chaos explained.
"Yeah, plus, after this war is over we can get plenty of time for us only." MOMO came in. She was another machine, but she was called a 100 series-proto type. She was meant to be a replica of Dr. Mizrahi's daughter. She had pink hair and yellow eyes. She was a very kind hearted girl and she looked like she was ten years old. She used a crossbow weapon, not an ordinary crossbow, but a mechanical crossbow.
"Oh. Hi MOMO. I guess maybe you could be right, but a little down time wouldn't be too bad." Shion complained.
"Oh, quit your whining. I think its pretty fun fighting the enemy. Action is my middle name." Jr. said doing a couple of poses with his pistols in hand.
"Hey you! Watch where you point those things!" Shion yelled. "Sorry miss perfect." Jr. retorted.
"Anyway, should we be on our way?" Chaos interrupted.
"…All right fine. I might as well. Maybe MOMO and I can go shopping afterwards." Shion looked over at MOMO who was now smiling as big as possible.
"All right then, lets go. Captain Matthews, fly us to the Omega System." Jr. looked up at Captain Matthews. Matthews looked down at Jr.
"But, I can't yet. I don't want to waste any of the fuel…"
"Listen, just take us there. It's not that far away. It's closer than Second Miltia." Jr. said. Shion looked over at Jr. with fire in her eyes and a crooked smile.
"All right, fine. Tony, hit it!" Tony nodded his head and hit the gas.
Kenshin had finally gotten Kaoru to settle down. Sano was out of breath and lying on the ground. Kaoru was also out of breath, but still was pretty angry.
"That…was close." Sano finally said, catching his breath.
"You were lucky. Next time, I'll get you." Kaoru whispered through her teeth. Kenshin had sat down next to them both, separating them so they wouldn't get into another fight. Yahiko had been tied up with the two girls, Ayume and Suzume.
"Have you three finally settled down?" Megumi walked out of the dojo. Kenshin nodded his head and smiled.
"I finally got them to calm down now Miss Megumi."
"Well then, I guess it's safe for me to come out then, huh?" Megumi sat down next to Sanosuke. Then Kaoru got up and walked into the dojo.
"Well, I am going to visit Miss Tae at the Akebeko. I haven't talked to her in a while." Kaoru said, annoyed by Megumi. She got up and left.
"I have to go to the store and get groceries before Kaoru-dono gets mad at me too." Kenshin said, getting up and walking off.
"I guess I'll go see Dr. Genzai at the office. I'll see if I have any work to do." Megumi got up and walked off as well, leaving only Yahiko and Sano at the dojo.
"Now this is boring. Well, then again, now I can watch Yahiko get tortured by the girls…kinda like him watching me suffer." Sano thought to himself. He began to watch as Ayume held Yahiko down on the ground and Suzume tickled him.
"Sanosuke! A little help here?" Yahiko called out from his position. Sano just laughed as the little girls dragged him to another place.
"You have your 'little' help right there, Yahiko." Sano said before he went into another laugh attack.
"When I get out of here then I swear I am going to kill you and I promise that!" Yahiko yelled from where the girls were putting make-up on his face. They had everything they needed. Pink blush, blue eye shadow, and bright red lipstick, purple fingernail polish and much more. They also had hair styling stuff like combs, bobby pins and ponytail holders. They were giving Yahiko a makeover.
"Listen Yahiko. I doubt that you can even catch up to me. Let alone kill me." Sano laughed and got up to go to his normal gambling spot.
Yahiko was left alone, sneezing in the powder and struggling to get out of the girls' grasp. They wouldn't let him go until he was finished.
"Well, were almost there. Maybe just a few more hours or so…" Matthew's said. Shion and Chaos stood by, waiting what seemed like forever. Jr. went to his room and sat and waited alone. Jin was meditating in his room to calm himself and to work on body and mind for the samurai soul in him.
"sigh…I wish we could just use the hyper space speed…you know Captain Matthews…don't you think it would be faster?" Shion complained, thinking that maybe it would be a hint to the captain to make it go faster.
"Nah…it would use up too much fuel. I am trying to save it." He told her. He was becoming more conservative than usual.
"Forget you, I am going to use it anyway. You can trust me, I can handle anything." Tony said from the wheel, then he pushed a big red button and the turbo boosters fired up. When the ship got going, Tony had to hang on tightly to the dashboard, Jr. flew off his bed and was stuck to the wall, causing a dent to appear. Jin had been taken off guard from his meditating and was now hanging on to the built in desk in the middle of the floor and Chaos and Shion were holding on to the railings around the inside of the cockpit. MOMO was pushed up against the door. Captain Matthews had been thrown from his position and was now clinging to the wall.
"TONY! I told you not too!" He yelled, barely able to open his mouth.
"Sorry! I forgot about this part!" Tony apologized. All of a sudden, they hit something and the ship stopped abruptly. Everyone in the cockpit was thrown on to the floor except for Tony; he was thrown forward on to the dashboard. Jin had been crushed into the desk and was stuck underneath. Jr. was cussing up a storm when he had been thrown into the other wall face first. His swearing was muffled into the second dent into the opposite wall. MOMO had fallen flat on her face when she had been thrown off the door. She pushed herself up off the floor and heard Jr. coming, still cussing like crazy.
"HEY! What the hell was that for? You could have at least given us all a warning or something! Now my walls are basically crumbling!" Jr. said, with the doors sliding open a bit faster than normal. The reason was because he had to open them himself because the landing they made had damaged the system in the Elsa and also because he was so enraged with anger. Then Jin came in; he had finally gotten himself pried out of the desk.
"Now, was there a purpose to use that?" He asked calmly, after his meditating session. Tony shook his head and explained. "Shion told me to do it." He said as he accusingly pointed to Shion.
"You idiot! It was your idea! I only said that it would be faster, I didn't say use it!" Shion retorted. She gave an evil glare at Tony who was now speechless.
"Well, whoever it was will have to fix my walls! I'm not doing it." Jr. spoke up.
"Besides the accident, where are we? I don't recognize this place." Chaos interrupted, looking at the scenery before them. They looked out the windows to see what looked like a rundown town. People bustled here and there, but mostly sat there and stared at the strange ship.
"Oh boy. Tony! Look what you got us into now!" Matthews scolded. Tony gave a big and heavy sigh and then shook his head in annoyance.
Kenshin was on his way to the market, when he saw a huge crowd gathered in the middle of the street. He was curious, but decided to check it out later, after he was done getting groceries.
Megumi was on the other side of the crowd, looking into it right away. She wanted to know if someone was hurt, but when she got there, it hadn't been what she had thought it to be. It was a giant teal-green and white plane. It had spiky armor and it had crashed into the ground pretty hard. It took up the whole road and had landed on someone's house.
"Wow. Does anyone know what this thing is?" A random man came up to it and stared into the object. Other people had become more intrigued and started poking it. The children wandering around it took joy in playing with it and started to climb up on it, causing their parents to worry.
A person shooting it open with his pistols up to where the cockpit door was had suddenly scared off one child. It was Jr., still outraged with Matthews and Tony. He looked down at the boy.
"What are you looking at?" He asked the small child in a harsh tone. The little boy hesitated for a second and then ran off to his parents. Jr. stood there dumbfounded for a second. Then he sighed and shook his head, then realized that there were children who were frozen in their tracks, staring at him in amazement.
"What? Tell, me, what did I do?" He said waving his pistols around. The children flinched and then ran off. "Wh...What did I do?" He said more quietly. Chaos and the others finally crawled out.
"What did you do this time Jr.?" Shion said when she saw all the people terrified.
"I didn't do anything! I swear! All I did was…"
"Say 'what are you looking at'. Do you know how rude that is? Especially to little kids!" Shion continued to scold him. He was going to say something and then just gave up and didn't say a word.
Kenshin had come out of the store and saw the people all frightened by something. 'What happened? Maybe I should go and check it out now. I did hear some gun shots just a few seconds ago. They might be in trouble.' He thought. Then, he set down the groceries and went to the scene. A poor man that had suddenly came from the alley that was next to the store, looked around nervously and then stole the bags of grocieries that Kenshin had jsut bought.
"Ummm…anyway, maybe we should ask where we are." MOMO said, interrupting the fight that took place between Shion and Jr. Matthews was complaining about the major damage that his ship had received in its landing. He was saying things like 'I just got this ship remodeled' and 'We've got to fix her up ASAP!'
Chaos looked at the surroundings and noticed a swordsman. He had long red hair and an X-shaped scar on his left cheek. The samurai looked up amazed at what he saw.
It was Kenshin. He looked over everything that the ship had. He didn't know what it was or how it got there.
Chaos decided he would go down to the samurai and ask him where they were.
"Excuse me sir, do you know where we are?" Chaos asked politely. Kenshin looked confused. How could these people not know where they were?
"We're in Tokyo, Japan…and if you don't mind me asking, who are you and where do you come from?" Kenshin replied.
"Oh…uhh…well, we're from…" Chaos looked up at Jin. Jin walked down to where they were and finished Chaos's sentence.
"We're from Nagashima." Kenshin looked at him for a second. Then noticed that Jin had a sword as well.
"I see…what is this that you brought along with you?"
"Ahhh…yes. This is the Elsa." Jin explained. "But you don't need to worry about that." All of a sudden a bullet whizzed by the group. Jin and Chaos looked back at Jr. who had gotten into another fight with Shion.
"You were serious about that weren't you?" Shion said, stunned that Jr. had actually tried to kill her. He had his guns in hand and was ready to go into battle. All the civilians had their hands up. Eventually, they put them down.
"Well, I wouldn't mind if you were gone. I wouldn't be constantly picked on." Jr. replied. Shion suddenly ran up to him and took one of his guns away. Jr. noticed, but could only save one gun.
"Hey! Give it back!" Jr. shouted as he began to chase after Shion, who had now taken off to put it somewhere that Jr. wouldn't be able to retrieve it. Chaos and Jin sighed and turned back to Kenshin.
"As I was saying, you don't have to worry about the ship. We also forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Jin Uzuki." He said informally. Then Chaos introduced himself. "And I'm Chaos. "
"Konnichiwa. I am Kenshin Himura. This is Megumi Takani. She is a doctor for us all." Megumi had just arrived.
"Sir Ken…who are these people? And where did they come from?" She questioned. Kenshin answered her and told her that they were Chaos and Jin Uzuki and that they came from Nagashima.
"Okay…then I guess I should bring myself to know them a little more. Maybe give them an examination sometime soon." Megumi snickered at her remark as fox ears and a tail showed up. Chaos and Jin looked at each other strangely for a moment.
"Don't worry, she's always like that. You'll have to get used to her." Kenshin explained in a monotone voice. By that time, the civilians had all been looking at the ship and studied it hard, trying to figure out what it was. Mathews had tried to protect his 'baby', but the people just ignored him and pushed through him. Eventually he gave up and started to show off.
"I said give it back Shion!" Jr. and Shion were still running around. Jr. was still trying to get his pistol back from the hands of Shion. She was determined to keep it away from him. Suddenly, she hit someone and bounced backwards. It was a tall, slender man with brown, spiky hair and a red bandanna. He looked down at her as she looked up at him.
"You all right little missy?" He said. She started to blush slightly, when he put his hand out to help her up, she completely missed and fell back down. Jr. was still running after her, but when he caught up, he tripped over her, smashing into the man, causing the man to be knocked over.
"Hey! What's your problem kid?" He said getting up from the spot he had fallen. Jr. got up and put his hand on his head.
"Well, it's her fault for lying right in the middle of the road!" Jr. argued back, pointing to Shion. Shion got angry and threw his gun at the back of his head, causing him to lean forward and yell ouch.
"Anyway, mister, what's your name?" Shion turned to Sanosuke.
"I am Sanosuke Sagara, the fight merchant…hey what about you?" Sano questioned back. Shion hesitated a bit, then replied, "I am Shion Uzuki."
"And I'm Jr." Jr. said as he got up and dusted himself off.
"I didn't ask you." Sanosuke said, being to amused with a 'beautiful' woman in front of him. "You should go and meet Yahiko."
"Hey! What's wrong with talking to me huh!" Jr. snapped. Sanosuke looked at him and then walked away, with Shion following. Jr. got ticked and ran up to Sano and kicked him in the back of the head. Sano fell to the ground face first.
"Hey, are you picking a fight with me or somethin'? Cause I don't like your attitude kid. I'll hurt you bad." Sano said raising a fist of fury.
"Bring it on!" Jr. roared. "There can't be any weapons in this fight. We fight with fists only!" Sano explained rapidly. Jr. looked down at his guns, and for the first time, he threw them to Shion, hoping that she wouldn't hide them on him.
Shion caught the guns, amazed that Jr. trusted her with them. The two stood in one spot, having a stare down before they started with their fight. Then, the battle engaged.
Muahahahahaha! I'm so evil...just as the battle begins. Anyway, I'm sorry that the story ine sucks, but I was really bored and I wanted to do something other than Dyansty Warriors. Also, I had this story in my mind for a while...I'm still not sure how long it will be. Oh well, just keep on going with my crazy imagination.
