RECAP: Some aliens kidnapped Makino and a patient from Eitoku's Academy in Space. Tsukasa asked a question and was stuck in the virtual professor program finding out how he got to that point.
Chapter 1 How it All Began
Eitoku Space Flight Academy Launch Pad and Hangar, Four Years Ago
"Excuse me. I'm here to make a delivery." The young lady with two braids approached the security gate on a hover moped. "I'm from Makino Uniform delivery services."
She handed him a chip. He scanned it and returned it to her. "You are cleared only for Hangar A. Put these on." He handed her dark glasses. "Follow the blue path on the map. Be sure to return those when you are done, and do not veer from the path. If you veer, you will be detained by security." She nodded her head and smiled cautiously. "Next time, Dad must make his own deliveries. This is just too weird. I know he wasn't sick. He was hung over from playing pachinko all night." She thought.
She put her moped in gear and using the chip, she downloaded the map from the glasses into her console on the moped. She then passed her hand over it, and it automatically followed the path.
"Huh, antiquated model huh. The new ones, she would just have to look at the console with the glasses, and it will program it." The security guard smirked. "Ah, poor people."
Makino looked in awe at her surroundings. She had heard of the famous Eitoku Space Flight Academy. She wished she could join and train to serve on a space ship to the outer reaches of the galaxy on the maiden voyage. She was in awe of how the buildings had the most unique designs. Without the glasses, it looked as though there were nothing but clear fields around, but when you became within proximity of the buildings, they would appear in the glasses. She was impressed. "I'll never attend a place like this." As she thought that, she was all of a sudden overtaken by a series of sporty hover crafts. Three that were shaped like the latest model sports crafts hovered in front of her and around her and then slowed down.
"Hey, you, get that eyesore off the road and out of my sight. You are junking up the road and making it look ghastly." The main girl let down her panel and yelled.
"I'm sorry, I'll leave as soon as I make my delivery. My bike can only go so fast. I apologize if it is in the way." Makino said.
"We weren't talking about the bike. We were talking about you." The main girl replied.
"Good one Asai." The girl in the pink mobile laughed. They then sped off leaving a plume of smoke behind them.
A jet flying low passed her being chased by four vehicles that were almost level to the ground. Then the first craft sped away. The other four sped up and did barrel rolls over it switching back and forth over the jet. They then led it toward the hangar. Makino saw the eyes of the guy. He looked frightened and panic stricken. He headed straight into the hangar, as the other four pulled up right before they hit the building. He ejected right before his plane hit the building and exploded. Makino headed over to him. His chute pulled him across the field since he was not high enough to safely eject without being pulled by the chute. She checked on him. "Are you okay?" He was hurt, bruised, battered, had scars all over and had trouble breathing. Makino released his chute to take pressure off his chest and administered first aid. The other four landed and took off their helmets. Makino called for help. They came over and looked at him and laughed.
"Now you see. You are not fit for Eitoku space flight academy. You can't even pass a simple flight test."
"God, shut up and just get some help." Makino yelled. That's when security arrived.
"Ma'am, you have veered off the path. We will have to ask you to leave and escort you out."
"Fine. Do whatever you like to me. Just get him some help. Also, could you deliver this a student named Futaba Shotaro?"
They scanned his ID. "Ah, this is him. Leave your delivery here and kindly remove yourself form the premises."
Security grabbed her and took her with them.
Makino shook herself loose and went over to Domyouji. "You are the lowest of the low. This school is supposed to have the latest and greatest technology. Couldn't you have done the flight test in a flight simulator or in VR world instead of getting him hurt?"
Domyouji scoffed. "What do poor people understand about taking risk, about experiencing the thrill of knowing that you risk losing your life at any moment if you don't have the skills to be a pilot? If you aren't prepared to risk everything or don't have the guts to face it and walk away, then you aren't fit for deep space travel or Eitoku Space Flight Academy."
"I don't care. That thrill is not worth somebody's life." Makino yelled at Domyouji. "Aren't you human? Don't you have any decency?"
Domyouji answered. "Do you know who I am? I can buy and sell people like that." He snapped his fingers. "Now, security, get this mended cat out of my sight."
"Tsukasa, I think you mean mendicant." Akira corrected him.
"Shut up! You know what I mean." He snapped his fingers, and they threw her and her bike out of the gate.
"Virtual professor, I've heard this story a thousand times a thousand different ways. That boy's father let her attend in his place since the fees were already paid for. And then she was awarded a scholarship. We met. I bullied her friend. She defended her so called friend. I put an infrared laser mark on her ID for all who wore the Eitoku glasses to see. They bullied her. Rui helped her. She fell in love with him. He left with Shizuka. I fell in love with her. Rui came back. She cheated with Rui. I had them kicked out the program. Neesan had them challenge me to a contest. I let them win. Medical officer intern Makino and I began dating. My mom tried to break us up. Jun pei kidnapped her. My mom fixed me up with Shigeru, etc. etc. Can't we skip to the end?"
"Very well, to end the virtual professor inquiry you must answer all review questions correctly." The computerized voice spoke.
"Okay, bring them on."
"When did Medical Officer Intern Makino Tsukushi fall in love Captain and Commander Domyouji Tsukasa?" The virtual professor asked.
"That's easy. It was love at first sight." Tsukasa bragged.
"That answer is incorrect. Continuing from Medical Officer Intern Makino's first day attending Eitoku Space Flight Academy."
"Alright, alright, it was after Rui came back, and she dated him. Hey, what kind of review question is that anyway? What does that have to do with history? Why is that even in the archive logs at all? Who installed you anyway?" Tsukasa wondered.
"Inquiry, graduate student Domyouji Tsukasa, holoprojection engaged." The computerized voice spoke.
Domyouji turned toward a holograph projection of the system being installed. "Heh heh heh, now all I have to do is trick Domyouji into answering a question every time they're together, he'll be transported into a holodeck, and I will have time alone with my Tsukushi chan!" Kazuya rubbed his hands together as he installed the equipment.
"Oh the noveau rich kid. I should have known." Domyouji sighed and looked blankly as the projection discontinued.
"Returning to initial inquiry: Skipping ahead one year to after Commander Domyouji Tsukasa returned from the scouting mission for Eitoku space flight academy." The virtual professor ignored Tsukasa.
"Look, I know all of that, too. I tried to ignore Makino to focus on running the company, and then the hag set me up with Shigeru. I dated her while Makino dated Rui. It didn't work out and Shigeru called off the engagement, then the hag threatened Makino's friends and bankrupted her family. Makino left me to go on that junk barge in space where her parents worked. She was almost sold by the junk barge captain to an alien race as a sex slave to pay off her parents' debt since her dad has space sickness, and I rescued her. We've run from my mother and her security police over the years, but now we are together or were together. So, let's cut to the chase. I have to go after Makino." Tsukasa was frustrated.
Alien Space ship in a Dungeon
Makino and the patient landed on board a ship in a dark room. Makino tried to adjust her eyes to the dark. Meanwhile, her patient took off her dark glasses and looked around. Makino was scared. This was worse than the time Tsukasa had kidnapped her and gave her a makeover and worse than the time Jun Pei had kidnapped her and took her into out of space on the asteroid. At least she knew her captors then. This time she knew nothing about them. "Hello! Is anyone there?" Who are you? What do you want? Where have you taken me, and why have you taken me?" She stopped as she thought about the previous reasons that she was taken, and she sighed slightly depressed.
"We appear to be in some sort of prison or dungeon in the bowels of the ship, Makino sensei." The patient replied calmly.
"Saje, is that you?" Makino reached out. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn't been treating you at the time, then they never would have taken you."
"Nonsense, Makino sensei. Do you think that a people with the technology to beam aboard our ships undetected even with the shields raised could not take you without taking me?" Saje asked.
Makino thought. "No, that doesn't make any sense, but why would they want you as well? I know this is all down to Domyouji Kaede. I understand why she wants me, but not why she would want you as well."
"Actually, I think that I'm partially responsible for this too." Saje commented.
Makino scoffed. "That's ridiculous. Domyouji Kaede hired these guys to get me. What would that have to do with you? If anyone is responsible, it is Tsukasa's mom. She is the one that has the problem with Tsukasa's and my relationship. She is the one who hired these guys to kidnap me. She is the one who uses our friends to threaten us. No, if anyone is responsible, it is Tsukas's mom."
Saje smiled. "Exactly, so this is not your fault either, and I don't want to hear you say so anymore."
Makino was touched. "Saje."
"Now, that's enough playing the blame game. Let's figure out a way out of here before …" Saje paused, hearing the signs of what she was afraid would happen. "Never mind, it's too late. They are already on their way. Listen, Makino sensei, please trust me. No matter what you hear today. Don't think about it, just trust me, okay? That is the only way we will get out of here safely and return to the Academy in Space."
As she said that the men dressed in all silver armor approached her as dim lights lit their way. She quickly donned her dark glasses again. The lead guy, whose armor was white, approached Saje. He stared at her without opening his helmet. "You know who I am don't you, and you know why I've come."
She stared back at him defiantly. "I don't have any idea what you are talking about. You look like something from one of my nightmares. Now go away and leave us alone. Take us back to our ship before the armada comes to find us and your entire fleet gets destroyed."
"Princess, you know exactly what I mean. And furthermore, you know who I am and why you are here. As you said, you have been communicating with me through your dreams." He looked intently at her.
Saje thought and shook her head as she recognized the voice. "No, those are just dreams. You must be reading my thoughts somehow."
"No princess, you are the one who is reading my thoughts. Or were you not aware that you have not been speaking all this time?" Saje shook her head. "If you do not believe me, look at your friend. She appears confused because she has not heard any of this. She is not one of us. She is not like me or you for that matter. In fact, even I don't compare to you."
Saje turned to look at Makino who was wondering about the staring contest and why Saje kept shaking her head. When she saw Saje's startled expression and heard her gasp, her weed power kicked in and she spoke up and stood in between Saje and the silver knight. "Sir, I don't know who you are, but I am the one you want. She is just an innocent patient. Please let her go. I'm sure Domyouji Kaede has no interest in her and will not pay you extra for kidnapping someone else. I will go with you willingly and cooperate if you will just let her go."
The silver knight laughed. "Little girl, you are very much mistaken. I assure you that money I have no need for your money. It is valueless to me. However, you will definitely cooperate, but Ms. Saje, as you call her, has everything to do with this. Isn't that right, Ms. Saje, is it?" He turned to her. She glared at him.
Makino gasped because she was sure she had not mentioned Saje's name. "How … how did you …"
"You're wondering if I read your thoughts just now, aren't you?" The knight moved closer to Makino's face.
"Enough. What do you want?" Saje asked him.
"Saje, what is he talking about?" Makino asked.
"Remember what I asked you earlier, Makino sensei? Please trust me. Just let me handle this." Saje turned to her as she spoke and then turned back to the white knight. "Look, why don't we negotiate a deal? There must be something that you want. Perhaps, I can be of assistance in getting it for you." She spoke aloud, but through telepathy she told him. "I know it's me you want. So leave her out of this. Let's go somewhere private and sort this out."
He nodded. "Very well, since you have agreed to be the mediator, I shall abide by your terms. Let us go elsewhere to discuss it. Guards, watch her. Make sure she doesn't get away." They stood at attention and placed their arms at chest level in a salute. He left followed by Saje.
As they walked, she began. "Look, I know that you don't care about the money or the deal you made with Domyouji sama. You're after me. So, why don't you return her to her ship, and I will cooperate with you."
As they arrived to another dimly lit room, which appeared to be the captain's quarters, he turned to face her. "Oh, you will cooperate with me, Princess, whether or not I let your friend go. Oh and you can forget about your knight in shining armor coming to save you. It is impossible for him to find you, let alone catch up with us with that primitive technology that they use in the galaxy you call your home."
Saje frowned, and then her anger flashed. "Get out of my head!" She yelled.
The knight groaned grabbed his head for a moment. He then smiled. "Very good Princess, the closer we get to our world, the stronger your powers grow. That is excellent news. I'm looking forward to discovering just what you're truly capable of."
Saje fronwed again, confused. "Powers? What powers are you talking about? And why do you keep calling me Princess? And what do you mean by 'our world?'"
The knight laughed. "Princess, are you trying to play coy with me, or could it be that you truly don't know who you are or recognize me for that matter?" He moved directly in front of her face, opened a panel on the armor on his front arm, and pressed a button causing his armor to detract. The face panel detracted first revealing a pale face with pale blue eyes, long white hair pulled back in a ponytail and sideburns causing her to gasp. His skin was so pale that it seemed translucent, and though his irises were a pale blue, they seemed to glow brightly, but he had no pupils. Although pale, he was muscularly built and had sharp pointed ears like a pixie. He wore a simple shimmery white robe.
Saje covered her mouth with her hands and shook her head. "No, it can't be." He nodded. "Orioni?"
"That's right. Take a good look, Princess." He said as he began to remove her glasses.
"No, don't. You'll …" Saje turned her head away and moved it back, resisting to no avail.
He removed her glasses, and she closed her eyes. "Open your eyes and look at me." She opened them and for the first time could see everything clearly without the use of glasses and without anything else occurring. She looked at him confused.
"What were you afraid of Princess? Were you afraid of not being able to see? Or were you afraid of something else? Perhaps, optical laser beams?" Orioni smiled. Saje's eyes gaped. "Oh yes Princess, I know all about you. That is why when I removed your glasses I made sure to attach a neuro sensor that would suppress your powers. And even if that did not work, I'm sure you noticed the ambient lighting. You need solar light to stimulate your optical beams. You see we made sure that we had everything ready to receive you hospitably and welcome you aboard the Luxemborg flagship. We even cloaked our signature with many ghost signatures. So you see. Your knight won't be able to easily locate you no matter what you try to do, Princess Sipriocity." He smirked and laughed an evil laugh.
Saje's face went from astonishment to anger. "We'll just see about that." She thought.
(A/N): Okay, to make one thing clear, there is an Eitoku Space Flight Academy on earth that prepares students for life and travel in space, and there is a space flight academy that is currently on a ship traveling through space. From here on out I will refer to the one in space as the Eitoku Academy in Space. It was launched after both Tsukasa and Tsukushi graduated from school. I have many chapters already written but because this story vacillates between two times, I am trying to figure out how to combine them without making it too confusing. Oh well, if you are confused, you can always ask questions, and I'll explain. So, I borrowed the way they met from the kdrama and combined a few things together and changed it a little bit. To you who are disappointed that I am not going to go into detail and redo the story in space. I apologize. I'll weave some of the details in and out of the story.
