46. You Did Your Best

Kjon's Audio Diary Log

July 4, 2621.

I spent the next three days locked in my room. I can't tell you just how painful it was for me during that time. I was angry all the time... I couldn't make any sense of it. Whenever I thought about it too long I couldn't contain my anger, and I just beat everything around me with all the blind rage I had. After every angry snap and episode, I'd always find myself huddling in a corner crying to myself, asking myself who, and why. Who'd done this? Why did it have to be me? Why did it have to be Mom? To me that was the worst thing about it all, that my mother ,Ma-ek'laa, was paying for this too. What had she done? Why had Ph'rills done this to her? I could understand why he did what he did to me, but Mom deserved none of that! She was why I came back, she'd done all she could for me, and I had done everything I could for our clan and for her, but still even after everything we'd done to restore our trust and honor with them, SOMEONE HAD TO COME, AND FUCK IT ALL UP!... Sorry. I couldn't eat... I couldn't sleep... I couldn't even find the strength in me to pray... The nightmares and the flashbacks that had been getting better got worse again. I sat alone all by myself thinking about what happened, and would constantly ask "Why?" not just to myself but to God. Why was He allowing this to happen to her. Why her? Each one of these questions I kept asking, and the more I did the more furious I became. Still none of it did anything, and all of my questions went unanswered.

Another thing about it was that... as... the more I thought about how... who'd done this to us... and the more I continued to think that he was never found... I began to blame myself too... It's crazy to think that, I know, but who else was there to blame for what had happened... Me and Mom... While I hadn't done anything, I had been a cause in what had happened and each time I thought about it I was constantly reminded of the burden that I was to her, but also the responsibility and guilt that I still had hanging over me when Michelle, Rich, Taylor, and William died. I did everything I could for all of them... but I was still never good enough... I'd never be good enough.

It wasn't just Ch'ris and Rachelle's poor furniture who suffered but my friends as well. Jenny, Ch'ris, Rachelle, even their stupid pet shadow; I lashed out at them all. You can't imagine how painful that was to me also. That just made me feel even more plagued with guilt than I already had been. They were only trying to help me, and I was smacking their hands away. They didn't deserve any of this either, but I still did it.

At the end of my third day Jenny snuck into my room. The door was still locked but Jenny could still get in through the vents. "I brought you something to eat." She told me in a soft smooth and calming voice. After everything I'd put her through, after everything I'd made her suffer with me these past months since I met her, I didn't deserve to hear it. I gave her no response and continued staring out the window thinking. "Come on Jon. You need to eat. Rachelle made it for you herself, it's your favorite ,Raw meat." She beckoned me.

"I'll eat it later. I don't want it now." I told her after giving the plate a disgusted look.

"Alright then. I'll stay here with you until you do." She told me moving the food aside before coming closer towards me.

"Please, leave me alone Jenny." I requested as I turned my back to her, holding back an impatient growl as I did so. I didn't want to do that to her, but that was better than the alternative.

"No Jon." She replied. She knew what the real problem was with me, and she knew that the food would do nothing to help. I needed support, she knew I needed it. This hadn't been the first time she'd seen me like this. I could tell what was coming and with how stubborn we both were I knew there was no avoiding it.

"Please ,Jenny. I don't want to get angry with you. Please leave me alone." My voice stuttered as I spoke.

"No ,Jon. I'm not going to leave you alone." Jenny continued, pressing her hand softly on my shoulder.

"Please leave me alone ,Jenny! I don't want to fight with you. Please." I begged her with gritted teeth, as I began to sob softly.

Again she replied with "No."

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" I snapped back loudly swatting her hand away as gently as I could only trying to scare her. My threatening look and flared mandibles did nothing to shake her.

"No Jon! I'm not going to leave you alone no matter what you do so just accept that!" She retaliated. Her response made my teeth bite even harder, and my hands curl into fists.

"Please... I don't want to do this..." I told her with my eyes closed attempting to hold back my tears.

"I don't care ,Jon!" I couldn't hold back my anger after that and responded by punching, throwing, and clawing at everything around us. Despite letting out so much blind rage I made sure not to leave even so much as a scratch on my Pyode Tarei'hsan. She responded simply by closing her eyes and crossing her arms. Her patience stunned me. Very rarely had I ever seen her act so mature, especially for how hyperactive she was most of the time. The past few days had taken a toll on her as well though so it did make sense.

"Why won't you leave me alone?!" I asked her again stifling more angry sobs as tears began to fill my eyes.

"You need my help ,Jon! Don't you understand that! Don't you even have a clue how much this hurts me too!" Jenny snapped back. I instinctively raised my claw ready to strike her. Thank the Merciful Master himself, I got control of myself before I could bring it down though. "No matter what you do!... I won't leave you!" She began to shed some angry tears of her own as she looked up at me with a wicked glare. She didn't scare me. What did though was that I'd raised my hand to her. I looked at it with a shocked look before grabbing at it with my other hand and angrily slammed myself down on my knees.

"DAMMIT! WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! WHY WOULD YOU RAISE YOUR HAND TO HER?! YOU STUPID UGLY FUCK?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" I screamed at myself as I dug my claws deeper into my arm, and began slamming myself into everything I could. "YOU LOVE HER?! YOU PROMISED TO FUCKING PROTECT HER WITH YOUR LIFE?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!" I continued to shriek as I bashed my head into the side of the wall, causing my voice to crack as I did so.

"JON! JON! JONATHAN!" Jenny screamed. Ch'ris and Rachelle had heard the commotion and had been outside the door watching us as we'd fought. She did the intelligent thing and let them in before the three of them forced me down. "JONATHAN SCHAEFER, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" Jenny screamed at me.

"You stupid fucking idiot! Why did you do that to her?! Why did you do that to them?! Why?! Why does this always keep happening to you you useless mother fucker?!" I sobbed as I began pounding my fist on the ground, causing me to break my hand in the process.

"Kjon stop it!" Ch'ris and Rachelle screamed as they both grabbed my arms. By that point I had been way to exhausted and angry with myself to even bother fighting back.

"You useless fucker! Your mother and friends suffered because of you! And now your doing it again! Why can't you ever do anything right?!" I continued crying as my guilt overtook me. My friends could tell I was referring to myself. Once they realized I'd cracked they didn't bother holding me down any longer. They let me kneel there for a few seconds and work out the rest of my grief, before finally the three of them huddled around me to comfort me.

"Kjon why do you blame yourself for what has happened. We know it was not you who did this." Ch'ris told me with an angry look on his face. I didn't know what Ph'rills had told them, nor what Jenny had told them about since they picked us up, but they knew I wasn't the one who'd caused this.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so fucking sorry!" I continued.

"Stop!" Ch'ris said smacking me in the face, probably still a little ticked about the time I did the same to him when Rachelle got captured.

"Ch'ris?!" Jenny screamed at him wondering why he'd done that.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry... I'm sorry about everything. I didn't mean to cause any of you guys this pain..." I wept my apology as I sat up resting my back on the wall.

"Kjon, you have done nothing wrong. We know what has happened. Why do you blame yourself for what has happened?" Rachelle asked me.

"Who else is there to blame. For all they know I did it and it's because of me I failed her..." I wept my explanation. "Why ,Dear Merciful Master, why would you do this to her? What did she do? What did Mom do?..." I asked covering my face from with my claws.

"Jon?" Jenny said resting her hand softly on mine.

I shuddered a little as I felt it touch my knee. "I'm sorry. Y-you guys were just trying to help and I fucking..." I said smashing my broken fist into the metal wall.

"That's enough of that! Jon you didn't dishonor your mother. None of this is your fault." Jenny told me in that comforting voice.

"But they do. They think I did it and it's because of that I failed Mom. Every time I try to help those I love I just end up fucking up." I said smashing my hand into the wall again.

"Stop that! Jon you did everything you could for her. You've done everything you can do. You didn't know this was going to happen. Why are you doing this to yourself?" Jenny asked as she held my arm down, held my head up gently with her other hand and looked me in the eyes. "I love you. We love you. Please." Jenny continued.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry Ch'ris, Rachelle. Yes even you too you little shit." I said noticing Sa-v'ar as she entered the room. Normally Sa-v'ar would flee from my very presence, but now she was curious. "But most of all I'm sorry to you Jenny. You made me see that life is not as dark as I thought it was. You gave me a reason to live, and you've helped me so much since I first met you, and all I've done this whole time is put you through so much pain. I promised I'd do everything in my power to protect you, and now I raised my hand to hurt you... I'm fucking worthless ,Jenny, worthless. I'm sorry." I told her as I sobbed.

"You're not worthless Jon. If I thought you were worthless I wouldn't have decided to come with you guys. I'm not angry. I am disappointed, but you're just angry and your sad, and you don't know what to do. You've saved my life so many times now, even when your father threatened me you gave up everything you had just to make sure I would live. You didn't know any of this was going to happen." Jenny said before turning over to Ch'ris and Rachelle. "Look at what you've done for Ch'ris and Rachelle, you allowed them to restore their honor. You gave them that chance they needed. You've saved countless lives, including me. You've given me an adventure I'll never forget. It's been hard yes, but the experiences we've had have made it all worthwhile. You did that, and your still doing it even now." Jenny said as she raised my broken hand to her cheek. "You've made this all worthwhile, and for that I'm incredibly grateful. I'm also positive that if your mother was here right now to see the honorable hunter warrior you've become and what you've done not just for her, but for all of us including your own clan, and all of the people on KJ-147, I'm sure she'd be the proudest mother in the world, and I mean that." She told me with a soft smile on her face. "I forgive you, and I love you my Fire Angel."

Although she didn't completely take away the grief that was plaguing me about my mother and my Hunter Siblings, her argument still had an overwhelming affect on me. A soft smile broke across my face after I heard that. I quickly but gently wrapped my arms around Jenny and hugged her lovingly. "Thank-you. Thank-you so... so much. I love you too my Pyode Kha'bj-te Tarei'hsan. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you. I promise I will never even think of raising my hand to you like that again, ever, and that's a promise I'm going to keep." I told her as I held her in my arms.

"I apologize for my behavior, and I too pardon you for yours ,Hunter Brother." Ch'ris said as he and Rachelle came to comfort me.

"As do I my strange friend." Rachelle said.

Even Sa-v'ar joined the group hug, nuzzling her head against my leg like a cat would before taking her place beside her master. This was just too embarrassing, but right then I didn't have a single care in the world about my dignity. As I sat there and wept joyfully I thought about everything Pyode had told me. As I did I felt another being in the room with us, offering it's comfort to me as well. "Thank-you all." I whispered quietly as I embraced all of them. I wasn't even bothered by Sa-v'ar. She really was special like Ch'ris said she was.

"Happy Birthday to you. Ha-a-appy Birthday to you." Jenny began to sing making me laugh uncontrollably for a few seconds.

"Shush..." I told her with a giggle.

"Happy Birthday ,Kjon." Ch'ris and Rachelle said joining in at my expense.

"Now you know why I never look forward to my birthdays, Pyode." I told her with a sarcastic smile.

"Suck it up marine." She told me before she kissed me on the face. That made me feel even better. After making up to Ch'ris and Rachelle by fixing the room and what parts of the furniture I could, and by eating the raw meat they'd prepared, along with four more plates of it (I mean I didn't eat or sleep for three whole days) everything got better. We spent the remainder of the enjoying each of our favorite horror movie classics. I gave Ch'ris Scream, Rachelle I gave the time to watch Halloween, and for Pyode, I gave her A Nightmare on Elm Street. I wasn't able to get Friday the 13th in, but it wasn't that bad. Plus after what I'd been through I could get used to it.

Later on when we all went to retire to our rooms for the evening Jenny made a request for me to dance with her. "Your wish is my command ,Pyode." I said with a short chuckle before fulfilling her request. We both danced to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" and Chainsmokers and Coldplay's "Something Just Like This," both of which are my favorite songs just for how beautiful they are. I remember each time the words "I want something just like this," I would tell Jenny in a soft whisper "I want someone just like you." That made Jenny smile. As we danced their I continued to think about everything we'd went through together and everything she'd done for me. There had been this thought hanging over my mind a couple days before we were banished, something I had thought about deeply since then but I was never completely sure of it though. After what she did for me earlier though that made me positive. She was the one, I was going to ask her. I would've done earlier, but I didn't feel right after what I'd done. I decided to wait until after we got back to KJ-147. Then would be the proper time for me to ask her to be my life mate. In the mean time I decided to continue being as friendly and loving to her as possible, both to prepare myself, and to kind of make up for what I'd put her through.

For the next couple days that it took us to reach KJ-147 we did what we'd done before when we left KJ-147. To be honest though that trip felt a lot better than the other one for three reasons: One, I wasn't having to warden a bunch of bad bloods, two, that gave us more time to spend together, and three, I was eager to get back home and ask Jenny. I must say that that was the most excited I'd ever felt in my life. I didn't get all hyper, but I will say that it was very very difficult for me to wait.

You can imagine the relief me and Jenny felt when we saw KJ-147's beautiful surface grow larger and larger as we approached. After everything we went through it felt amazing being back on familiar territory. Ch'ris and Rachelle allowed us to stay one last night with them before they left us once again. They still had the resettling of their clan to worry about.

As the day continued on I saw Jenny staring out the window. It was raining outside and she looked interested in it for some reason which made me a little curious. "Hey gorgeous, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm just looking out watching the rain. When Beth and I were kids and we felt like blowing of energy we'd sometimes go outside whenever Dad thought it was safe for us to, and we'd chase each other, stomp around in the mud, it was all really really fun. Ah, I miss those days. I really wish I could do that again." Jenny said.

"You can. Nothing stopping you from doing so." I told her.

"No, I can't." Jenny replied.

"Why not?" I asked curiously. Her grey skinned cheeks blushed after I asked. "Oh, it's because you think your too old to do it. That's what it is." She went back to staring out the window again, aimlessly thinking of fond childhood memories. "You know ,Pyode, you can still have those fun moments you had when you were a child nothing's stopping you." I told her. She gave a light sigh of acknowledgement as she continued staring out the window. A thought then came to my mind and I went to open the ship's door. As I did so I stripped off my armor and mesh.

"What are you doing ,Jon?" Jenny asked.

"Feel like getting wet?" I asked her with a smile on my face.

"What are you talking about?"

"You said you wanted to have fun like when you a kid. Let's go." I said.

"No, I can't, no." She declined. The smile on her face said otherwise.

"You know ,Pyode, it's been my experience that you only live once, so you live it to it's fullest. That way you regret not doing the things you wished you could when you had the chances to do them." I said thoughtfully. "But if you don't want to that's fine." I told her as I closed the door.

"Hey Jon, can you give me a head start?" Jenny asked. I'd seen that she'd disrobed into her... undergarments... the sight of which made my mandibles blush as I stared awkwardly. "Well, am I worthy enough sport for you?" She asked me in a taunting manner. You can guess what happened next. Once we went outside I immediately regretted leaving my meshing behind. The rain was cold, very cold. Jenny was having fun, but I hated every droplet. Jenny noticed me shivering with an uncomfortable wide-eyed look and began laughing at me.

"Well you'd better get going ,Pyode." I said giving her a evil smile. I have to admit ,for as stupid as it was, while we were both chasing each other through the rain, I was actually enjoying it, granted I still hated the cold, but I enjoyed the time I spent with Jenny. We both felt like little kids again as we chased each other. It reminded me of moments I spent with Mom when she would chase me up and down the trees of our enclosure. Whenever we caught each other we wrestled for a bit in the mud. I must admit, Jenny looked very tempting with only her bra and panties on and covered in mud. I think she may have had similar thoughts. I still kept it in my pants though, I wasn't going to go that far with her, not yet at least. I still needed to ask her first.

After we had our fun we went back inside Ch'ris' ship, got cleaned up and spent what little time we had left together doing the same shit we were doing before. Right as we did so Jenny went to check her GPS communicator bracelet. She and Rachelle had been working on fixing it ever since we left Yatja Prime. I had completely forgotten about it, and I was pretty impressed she still had it. I still thought nothing of it though. Although I should have, because even though it didn't seem like things could've gotten any worse than they had, there was someone very powerful who I'd completely forgotten about that would prove me wrong.

Alright finally finished with yet another chapter. I'm glad I managed to get another one out when I managed to do so, because I'm going to be pretty busy. Still the weekend is coming up soon so I may still have some free time to get some more work done before then. Also NeverNeverGirl apologies for any bad grammar or typos in this entry. Also thank-you for investing so heavily in these characters. I will promise you they have a happy ending, but whether Kjon lives to see it, that's something you'll need to stick around to find out about. I can't wait to reveal what's happening later on though. Also do prepare for things to get much much worse for Kjon (specifically him). Also I just wanted to comment on Jenny's character for a moment since it's pretty evident. When compared to her friends around her she can easily be considered the weakest character in terms of physical strength, but just because that's the case doesn't mean she isn't strong in other areas of her character. While Kjon is strong both in body, will, and to a fair degree intellect, Jenny is Kjon's emotional support and is there to help lift him up when he falls, and he tries his best to show his appreciation and affection for her even at his own cost. You maybe wondering why I bring this up but you'll see why I'm referring to her like this in the next two chapters.

Also I really enjoyed the more romantic elements of this chapter where Kjon and Jenny were dancing to "My Heart Will Go On" and "Something Just Like This" which are also my favorite songs simply for how beautiful the two of them are. Also I wanted to place a lot of emphasis on what I feel gives life it's meaning, since I'm a Christian I believe that life is worth living because of the relationships with the people you care for, and the experiences and joys you have in spending time with each other, and the hardships you go through in helping one another is what truly makes life worth living, and I wanted to give Kjon that philosophy since it's his friends and the moments he spends with them that make life worth living to him. (Also I just imagine whenever they watch their horror movies, since Kjon if a Friday fan, Jenny is a nightmare gal, Ch'ris is into Scream, and Rachelle likes the Shape, I just imagine them on Halloween they're all dressed as their favorite slashers. Kjon is Jason Voorhees, Jenny is Freddy Krueger, Ch'ris is Ghostface, and Rachelle is Michael Myers. I had no reason to include this thought I just thought it was fun to think about.)

Also, I forgot to do this a couple chapters ago but here's a run down of the timeline of events I intended for the story to follow up on, and anything left out of the timeline maybe more than a little (cough cough) intentional (FUCK YOU 2018s THE PREDATOR, AVP, AND PROMETHEUS MOVIES FUCK YOU ALL!)

Also if you want to learn more about the Aliens Earth War comics, check out Alien Theory's playlist on the Accounts of the Earth War (very interesting) Phew! Imma take a break now.

(Also NeverNeverGirl I read the message you sent me on my account in relation to your fanfic, and I sent you a reply.)
