Nadesico: Prince of Darkness Continues
Chapter 2: A Lost Heart, an Old Passion
Akito walked down the sidewalk. He kept his eyes forward, trying to ignore the curious looks that people gave him as he passed. He could understand why they looked at him like that, but that didn't make him anymore comfortable with it. Akito pushed up his face mask. The mask was probably the strangest thing on him, lacking eye wholes. But without the mask he would get much worse looks.
"What's that on your face? It looks funny!" Yurika pointed at the bandage on Akito's face. "Shut up!" Akito yelled at her as he adjusted it.
Akito smiled at the memory. It was from when he and Yurika were small and growing up on Mars. Akito had tripped and scraped his face, so he had to wear a bandage that made him look extremely odd.
Memories…. They were all that Akito really had. Memories of a life that didn't seem like his own. Back before he had lost all hopes of dreams. His mind was different mow. He didn't want dreams, in all truth he didn't know what he wanted. He had already save Yurika, he had killed the man who destroyed his life. What was left for him to do. Live? How could he live when the whole first chunk of his life belonged to what seemed like a different person. You find that person. Akito shook his head at that thought. That wouldn't work. The person that he was before is dead. He had a new life now. A life with no worth, no friends.
Akito remembered an episode from Gekigenger he had watched a long time ago. Were there was a giant robot that had a mind of its own. But it always was angry because it had no life. It was at a point were it couldn't make a life for itself. It would never be excepted. It had no past. Akito would always cry during that episode. Maybe now he was just like that robot.
No. That robot had no past, but Akito does have one. He can still live off that one.
Inside, somewhere, Akito really wanted that. The life that he had before. Could he?
As Akito argued with himself he hadn't been paying attention. After a while when he was able to pull himself out of his thoughts he realized that he was completely lost.
He looked slowly around him, it was getting late and the people on the streets were starting to retreat to there houses.
Akito looked at the nearest building in order to get some idea were he was. A big sign read.
Museum of Entertainment
TV shows, Comic books, Cartoons
Akito raised his eyebrows. Entertainment? Gekigenger would probably be in there.
You find that person.
Akito sighed and looked down at his feet. There really was nothing for his new life. Could he really lose his old life without a fight. He walked into the museum. Lets check out this lost passion. Maybe I can find myself here.
Note: Ok, this was a really annoying chapter to write. Seeing as not much happened in it. I was really just trying to show how Akito is thinking at the moment. I tried to link little bits of the old Akito into it so that you all would see that he isn't completely lost. The only way I can really describe it would be a split personality… but not really. And yeah, Museum of Entertainment, pretty dorky but its really all I could think of. Hope you liked it…… and I promise a bit more….. eventfull…ness…. In later chapters. Not to mention so pretty cool mech battles… if I can think of a way…… yeah I'm gunna shut up now…
