Guardians of the Galaxy .5 A Deadly Foe.
About two months have passed since the battle with the Omagogh and now we get to go to Moatoob!Finally I'll be a full fleadged GUARDIAN!Doing missions on Parum,Nuediaz and the Colony have paid off,Raye has become a little smarter and does things a little less rash now but he still wont stop BUGGING ME!Well thats Raye for ya.My TECHNICs have become a LOT more stronger and I'm extremly good at healing TECHNICs,fighting TECHNICs...Lets just say no one was hurt during the trianing session..We'll be leaving in a few hours so I have some time to kill before we head over to Moatoob.
I came over to Parum,to meet Raye's little sister Anna at the hospital,I had some flowers with dozens of paper cranes all tied together(cranes are a sign of good heath and good luck)to give her,they were rare Parum sunflowers,I looked at my map to see where the hospital was.
"...I think I'm lost.."While I was looking over my map,I ran into an old friend,a CAST."Opps sorr-..Jenny!?"Jenny is an old friend of mine,I haven't seen her since I joined the GUARDIANS a few months ago!She may be a CAST but she is really kind and sweet.
"Minore?It is you!Its been too long!How have you been?"She asked in a sweet voice,so I started to tell her my story,she was surprised to hear about the Gol tova and the Omagogh,and other missions I had done."And today we'll be going to Moatoob,I'm finally going to be a full fleadged GUARDIAN!"She smiled at me."Wow,Minore your makeing me wish I was a GUARDIAN now!"Jenny worked at the liner train station here on Parum."Oh,Jenny could you help me get to the hospital please?I'm meeting Raye's little sister."I asked her,she smied and pointed the way."Its just a few blocks that way.Well it was nice seeing you again Minore."She said,I nodded."It was nice seeing you again too Jenny!I waved good-bye as I walked twards the hospital.
It was about three blocks before I made it to the hospital,I saw an ambulence speeding by as a woman ran past me."Out the back!We're all ready for you here!"She yelled at the ambulence as she motioned it to the back of the hospital.I walked into the building and up to the reseptionest.
"Excuse me,Do you know which floor Anna Tigara is on?"She nodded gave me the floor and the room number,I thanked her and went on my way.She was on the second floor and her room number was 253.
I slowly opened the door to see Raye,with his back turned to me,sitting next to a light green-haired Newman(her hair is naturaly green)her eyes were shut and she was making paper animals with Raye."Hey Minore."Raye said as he finished his paper Da Ragan(a dragon-like beast that lives on Parum)and handed it to Anna so she could feel it,examine it really.
"Hi.So this is Anna.I've heard a lot about you!"She faced me,her eyes still closed.
"Hello,you must be Minore.Raye's told me a lot about you."She said sweetly,I walked up closer and Raye got up and walked past me -with a smirk- and to the door.
"Anna I have to go now,See ya later Minore!"Raye waved as he left,Anna giggled.
"Raye wont say this infront of other people,but I think he enjoys fighting alongside you."She giggled again,I was a little surprised at this.
"What do you mean?"She folded a paper crane in her lap."Well..Whenever he comes and visits me,he mentions you first,and he says that your not scared to fight even if you get hurt,and that you and him make a good fighting combo and that you back each other up."
Raye's always teasing me and pushing my buttons a little too much,but him saying nice things about me..."He teases you a lot doesn't he?He takes a lot after Dad.Dad was always teasing people and making everyone laugh."She smiled as she gently laid the newly made crane in her lap.
"Yeah,but he could give it a rest sometimes."I said,thinking of the other day when he put some sort of goop down my shirt!It took forever to get the stain out of my shirt.
"He say's your a Newman like me,although he hasn't told me exactly what you look like..May I?"I looked at her and came over and sat on the edge of her bed so that she could feel my face,her small fingers slowly went over my face feeling for every small detail.
"Do you have a big brother too?"She asked me"Yes,his name is Kollam,he's very kind."Anna stayed silent for a moment.
"Raye teases me a lot too.Its the way he is,but he has his moments,He cares for you.He's told me you can be a klutz sometimes too."She giggled as she pulled her hand away.
"Your a very pretty person Minore."I giggled with her."Thank you,so are you!"I handed the flowers to her,she sniffed them and smiled."Sunflowers..Thank you!"she spoke sweetly,it was time for me to go,I said good bye to Anna."I'll come and visit soon!"She had a big grin on her face."Alright,see you soon!"And I left to go and meet up with the others.
I went to the PPT station and boarded the ship,we were to meet up at the Central Table on the Colony,it was just outside of the GUARDIAS barracts.
I started playing with my long hair(I decided to let it grow long after we left Neadiaz,and I'm still not fully used to it.)as I waited for the others to arrive,Raye walked out of his room (Had he been there the whole time?) in his usual black and red Gojo outfit.(The ONLY clothes you'll find in Roar Roars-the Moatoob clothes store-and aparently in his clothset!)
"Your late,what were you doing that took so long?"I asked him,he rolled his eyes at me.
"I was taking a shower (him and shower don't usually go together) ,then my vision phone shorted out and chaught fire,along with my bed,don't worry I put it out,but the smell is gonna linger and I'm gonna need to buy a new bed."
Great and I live next door,it has to be Raye who blows somthing up!"Then I had Zion(his partner machine)make a few Trimates for me."I looked confused,how can a partner machine make something?
"Oh haven't you heard?The new synthisis shop opened up,you can buy a synthisis kit for your partner machine,with that you can make all sorts of things.Weapons,Line boards,and upgrades for you weapons.Hehe Guess you haven't really heard."The dark-red haired Beast smirked at me,I put my hand on my hip.
Then some small kid(he was a Beast)ran behind Raye."HAHAHA!Loser!"He said as he jumped up and ran off with Raye's nanotransformer!My jaw dropped"Well I do hope your not going out lookingmuffled laughlike that!"I laughed,Raye's clothes had all dissapered back into the nanotransformer when the kid took it,but he still had on his red..poka-dotted underwear!?He looked around for the kid frantically as his face turned red.
"G-GET BACK HERE WITH THAT!"He started chaseing the small Beast around the fountain.(that is the Central Table)I was laughing the whole time,seeing Raye run around in his undies,well I won't let him EVER hear the end of this!
Every time Raye got close the Beast would ether turn direction or duck inbetween Raye's legs,making Raye fall on his rear or face.He finally caught up to the kid and twisted his arm,the small Beast wimpered a little.
"Hey l-lemme go!"The little Beast struggled as Raye tried to take his transformer back."No way pal!"Raye snached his transformer back and placed in on the back of his neck and his clothes reappered,he still had a strong grip on the short prankster.
"Alright you got it back now lemme GO!"The small Beast struggled even more,he had dark-brown hair,his ears were pointed and more like mine but they were furry,his skin was a deep dark tan,and his eyes were a golden-yellow.
"Uh-uh,I'm taking you to the-"Raye stopped when Felix(a Beast GUARDIAN that helped me into the GAURDIANS)showed up.
"Raye let him go.Can't you see he's a GUARDIAN?"He said with humor,Felix was an old Beast(But he looked about in his twentys compared to a human)and was a freind of my father.
"Bout time ya got here Felix!Now my left arms longer than the other one!"Fuma whined and glared at Felix for being a little late,Felix laughed at the small Beasts words,he was a kind and gental man,lion faced but kind.
"Its not that bad.Anyway Minore,Raye meet Fuma.I'm his mentor,and we'll be you instructors today.Mira was given a important mission on Parum and wasn't allowed to take you with her."Felix informed us,then Fuma walked up to Raye and sneered.
"Ya know,your not gonna last on Moatoob very long!You'll be swiped blind if ya don't watch ya back!HAHA!"Raye looked like he was going to rip that little Beasts ears off!
"Well why did you swipe from me and not Minore!"He snarled at Fuma,I glared a death glare at Raye,how dare he even say that!
"Because she's a woman!Like I'd do that to a girl!It would be rude."Well at least he has manners unlike some people I know,I gave Raye a little smirk.
"Poka-dots Raye?"He gave me quite the little glare.I looked at Fuma,he's a GUARDIAN,but he looks to young,the age limit is 14,he looks ten to me."Arin't you a little young to be in the GUARDIANS?"I asked,I wondered why someone so young would be a GUARDIAN,Raye looked at me with that stupid smirk.
"Minore can't you see he's not a kid?He a full-grown small Beast."He told me matter-o-factly,I looked at Fuma,a small Beast huh?(Then why does he act like a kid?)
"Yeah so you better listen to us "adults",or you little kids are gonna get hurt!"He started bumping heads with Raye,(Now Raye knows what it feels like!)he snarled a little."Fuma,thats enough."Felix eyed the little Beast."Now,you'd all best get ready to go.Moatoob is a desert-like planet(except for a few mashes and swamps)and many of the Beasts there aren't kind,and some will be looking for a fight.So watch your selves.We'll meet back up at the PPT station for Moatoob."And we were dissmissed.
Well,the others went their own ways and I decided to go shopping and buy some new clothes,lucky for me the clothes store sold Moatoob style clothes,because of Moatoob's climate.
I looked at the womens Gojo outfits,the Gojo shirt looked like a dress the stopped just at the waist line,the Gojo shorts were,well short,the stopped just a little bit under the dress so you hardly saw them,but they still covered a good bit,the Gojo boots had high heels on them,but you could still fight in them very well.
They were a fair price so I bought them,a light blue and white outfit.I was able to move freely in the new clothes,then I went to the supply store to buy Photon Chargers,(they refill the Photon Arts in your weapon once its empty)Trimate,(items that heal major wounds)and some other things,I didn't want to shop on Moatoob yet,I didn't know if they would have all that I needed there.It didn't take long for me to get done.
I waited with Fuma at the Moatoob PPT gate on the third floor on the GUARDIANS Colony,Raye and Felix was still out,and apparently Fuma isn't the patient kind of guy.
"Will they hurry up already!I'm sick of waiting."He tapped his foot,Felix came up the walkway,Fuma stopped his foot."Hey we're gonna be late!Where's Raye?"Impatient,I thought to myself,Felix chuckled at Fuma and patted his head,Fuma didn't really like that and tried to swat him away and missed the big arm.
"Hey whats the matter?Too short?"Fuma tried to throw punches but missed each time,due to Felix's hight and his own,he snarled and hissed,after a few more seconds of that Fuma gave up and turned his back twards Felix and huffed,the large GUARIAN only laughed,I giggled a little,seeing the two goof around...
I wondered if thats what it would be like to have a father..I decided to go get a drink before we left,I told Felix I was heading to the Cafe on the lower level.
"Ok Minore but you better hurry back!"Fuma grunted,still unhappy that he couldn't even touch Felix.
At the cafe I orrdered my drink and a small salad and ate,I saw that Fuma really was impatient,we all still had ten minutes left till we had to leave for Moatoob.So I decided to go to a secluded spot behind the Cafe in the alley,a lovely spot with an over look of the Colony and wait till it was time to go,I really didn't want to hear more of Fuma's whineing.
As I looked over the Colony and out the great window that was its ceiling,the stars were beautiful,and I could see the planet Moatoob from my seat.The Colony seemed empty except for a few people rushing to the Linar Line Platform,the Divine Maiden was preforming a devination today,to give the people hope in these dark times.
I looked at the stars when all of the sudden I felt like some dark presence was watching me,I froze up with fear -I didn't know why but I felt like someone had just torn a sword through my heart.
Then HE spoke."Hmm,you really do look like your father."I jumped in absolute fright,the tone in his voice was sweet,yet menacing at the same time.I slowly looked over my shoulder,my eye lids flew wide open and my pupils grew very small
His hair was a very dark gray ash color,he had a X shaped scar on his right eye,his eyes were a cold dark purple that could break steel in two.His left arm was robotic,yet it look almost like a real arm.He was wearing dark clothing that only made him look even more menacing.
He saw my face and smirked at me."Now that I can see your face..You really must be his kid."I stared in fright at him,there was something wrong with this...I could see burning hatred in his eyes.
"W-Who are y-you and what do you w-want?"My voice hinted fear as I slowly got out of my chair -my GUARDIANS training had taght me to never turn my back on anyone I think could cause me harm.
He took a few steps closer to me,I felt somthing cold on my finger tips,it was the alley wall!I didn't relize it but I had been backing up ever since I got out of my chair.
"Has he never told you about me,Minore?"He chuckled as I pressed my back against the wall,how did he know my name?Then it hit me."Kyo Harashoe(har-a-sho)"I wispered.
I had first heard of Kyo from my brother,Kollam had said the Kyo was a deadly rogue leader and had killed Father's dearest friend in cold blood while they tried to stop him from stealing a very powerful and highly dangerious weapon,a weapon able to blast a hole in the GUARDIANS Colony the size of a cargo ship!
Kyo stole the weapon as Father tried to tend to his friend,but Father was unable to save his comerad,he vowed to stop Kyo from what ever he planned to do with the weapon,Father finally found Kyo trying to use the weapon and he had to fight Kyo,Kollam said while they were fighting the weapon went off and blew up Kyo's ship,Father escaped the blast but Kyo was thought to have died on his ship.How did he survive?
Kyo smiled wickedly at me when I said his name,so it was him!"Well now,I guess word of me really did reach you!Good,it would have been less enjoyable if you didn't know why I would kill you."
Shivers ran down my spine,he was going to kill me,why me?
"I lost it all because of your father Lelouch(Lee-loush) Sato!When my ship crashed my arm was pinned under rubble and then it had to be cut off in order for me to escape!"His face was full of rage as he grabbed my wrists and pinned me against the alley wall!
"But as we were fighting I told him that I was going to make sure he NEVER left my ship alive,he shook his head and said that he was going to make it home,make it to his new-born baby girl,the name of the new-born was Minore.Thats when the weapon went off and I lost my arm.And to make matters worse after that I lost all my respect amongst other rogues and I was reduced to a common theif untill I managed to grab a new arm off an old CAST.Years of torture and suffering,and since he's dead now,I decidedto go after the little girl he so wanted to see.I'm going to kill you,but not quickly,I'm going to make YOU suffer the same way I did."
I paniced and tried to break free from his grip on my wrists but I couldn't,he was exteremly strong,then he used a TECHNIC bound me to the wall by my wrists -around the time he said "I'm going to make YOU suffer the same way I did."
He took a step back and took a long black sword -similar to Raye's giant sword- and laid the blade gently on my left shoulder,as if aiming for an expert shot.
"My first act of revenge,will be to cut you arm off,the same way your father did!"He raised his sword over his head and then started to bring it down,my entire world almost stopped,every second felt like a life time,I closed my eyes and screamed as his sword was just about to slice my arm clean off,but his sword was stopped by large red sword!
Then a hand grabbed Kyo -who had dropped his sword- by the shirt and flung him against the wall next to me,I opened my eyes to see Raye there,his ears were pinned back like a ferrel cat staring down a rabid dog,his teeth were bared and he was snarling.I hardly reconized him,his face showed absolute anger and rage.
"HOW DARE YOU TRY TO HARM HER!!"Raye bellowed in the dark Newman's face,but Kyo's face turned from stunned to a murderious rage.
Raye only had Kyo pinned by his shirt,leaving his hands free,Kyo back-handed Raye,sending him flying to the other side of the alley,Then he lept at Raye and picked him up by the neck -with his real arm- before Raye even started to pick himself off the ground.
The blackish red haired Beast struggled in his grip as Kyo easily threw Raye down the alley and on to a table smashing it to bits.As Raye lifted his body up I tried to use my own TECHNIC to free myself,but I wasn't having much luck.
"Stay out of this little man.Or you'll suffer the same fate as her!"Kyo looked over at me and glared,Raye picked up a chair and flung it at Kyo,it didn't do any damage to the Newman at all,Kyo only shook off the broken wood and started walking twards Raye.
"Didn't you hear me you worthless mutt?Or is it that you wish to die along with her?"Kyo picked his black sword up as did Raye and they started to fight.
I felt helpless,I had cut my wrists very badly trying to pull myself out,blood trickled down my arms.I mustered one last TECHNIC and the dark bands on my wrists broke and I droped to the ground,when Kyo pinned me to the wall,he lifted me up first so that my feet didn't touch the ground.
I took out my handgun and started shooting at Kyo,he dodged them all -and faster than any Newman I'd ever seen- ran towards me and grabed my neck and squeezed,with no intent what-so-ever on letting me go."You also have your father's spirit.Too bad you have to die!"
He put his sword back into his nanotransformer as Raye started to charge at him,Kyo streached out his palm and a black light flashed from it,it struck Raye in the chest and he fell to the ground,I choked out somthing of a no.
Raye didn't move,was he dead?
No he can't be,Raye can't die!
He was trying to save me and this mad man!
I kicked Kyo in the stomache and he droped me,but before I could do anything at all Kyo grabed my hair and threw me on top of Raye,I had my hand over his chest,I could feel his heart beating faintly,but steadily.
I sighed,at least he was still alive,but for how long?Kyo walked up prepared to spear both Raye and I with his sword,I grabed ahold of Raye shirt with a small scream for help and braced myself to his chest.
Kyo was going to kill us both,I was sure of it.Then gunshots flew past Kyo and he ducked behind some tables for cover.I looked to where the shots came from and saw both Felix and Fuma aiming thier guns at Kyo,along with a few other GUARDIANS.
Kyo looked at me with nothing more than pure hate in his eyes.
"We'll meet again soon Minore."And with that ran towards the balcony and jumped over the edge and onto a small air-craft that flew off towards the docking bay.
"He's heading to the hangers!Squad 25 cut him off!"Felix called another GUARDIANS team through a comm. link.
Raye was slipping though,I put my hand to the dark red wound on his chest and started useing healing TECHNICs on him,wave after wave of white flashing lights washed over his wound,I wasn't about to let my comerad die!I bit my lip as I tried to make the TECHNIC more powerful.But useing TECHNICs too much could kill a person,ecspecially with healing TECHNICs.
But I didn't care at the time,I had to help him,he helped me.I looked at his face and some color had returned to him,Fuma ran over to where we were and pulled out a special healing unit.
"Maan you really can't be left alone can you?"Fuma smirked as he started to open the healing unit,I was NOT in the mood right now for his antics!"Spare us your childish non-sence and help Raye!"I snapped at him,he jumped a little at that,I didn't understand why,but I couldn't let Raye die.
Fuma laid the unit on the wound and thousands of photons(so many it looked more like a single beam of light) rushed into the wound healing it from the inside out.
"Minore,if you hadn't used all those TECHNICs on him...He would have died before I would have made it here.His heart had taken a direct hit and almost had stopped beating.Your pretty good at these TECHNICs Minore.I'll give ya that much."I didn't really get all that he said,why was I getting so worried?
Raye and I are partners,comerads..even friends.Felix came over and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry.This healing unit will patch him up fully,he'll be very tired after this but he'll be fine.But we'll have to cancle going to Moatoob with Kyo back.We should be able to go tomorrow though."I sighed,that wound was deep,but hearing Felix say he was going to be ok comforted me some."How did you find us?"Fuma sneered at me.
"You took forever on getting back!We came to check on you when we saw you two getting the snot kick outta yo-"Felix glared at him,telling Fuma to keep his big mouth shut.
"We also heard you scream and I called in some fellow GUARDIANS to help aid us."I was glad he did that,we GUARDIANS are very tight and we stick up for each other.Although the TECHNICs I used -both to free myself and heal Raye- took so much of my energy that I had to fall asleep against the alley wall.
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in my room,how did I get here?I looked at my clock and saw that I had nearly slept for almost seven hours.I wasn't that surprised,I could have killed myself if I had used only a few more TECHNICs.TECHNICs somtimes take too much of your energy if they are used to many times with no stoppping,in some cases people have died while trying to go past thier limit,Kollam had taught me that much.
The lights were out except for the small ball of light that dimly glowed at the head of my bed.I saw somthing sitting on the bed-like part of my large window,asleep.
I thought it was Felix,but when my eyes ajusted to the low light I saw it was Raye sleeping soundly,and his wound was healed fully,as if he was never hurt at all.He woke up when I tried to get out of my bed.
"Finally your awake."He wispered and scrached the back of his neck.
"You alright Minore?Felix told me what you did.How you used you TECHNIC to heal me.."He looked out the window with a hard look on his face."Felix told me about Kyo and your father..And he also told me that since he's back that your going to have to be watched out for,so no more wondering off now,ya hear?"He smirked at me with a tease,but it didn't bother me,in fact it kinda comforted me.
"So they didn't catch him."I asked,I knew he'd come after me again,the guy was a mad-man after all.
"Nope..You really were dead to the world though,not even Fuma was able to wake you up!Hehe you should have seen him!"Raye smiled,A small grin slipped across my lips,I could only imagine what that little Beast tried to do.
"You didn't even move when I picked you up and carried you in here."Raye brought me here..I thought that was a dream.."Y-You carried me here?But didn't the healing unit make you drowzy?"I looked out the window and saw a comet fly pass in the distance."It did,as soon as you were in the bed I flooped down over here and fell asleep.Just bringing you here took a lot out of me."He yawned,showing his large canine teeth.
"Why though..You should have went to get rest as soon as you could."I didn't get it.
"Two resons,because you risked hurting yourself trying to heal me...And you needed help."He turned his head away and looked out the window when he said that last part.
"You almost killed yourself though..Why didn't you get back-up before attacking like that?"I looked at my wrists and saw they still had open cuts,and bleeding some,not badly though.Raye saw my cuts and came over as I was about to use another TECHNIC to heal the cuts.
"You'll regret doing that..You use another TECHNIC you'll probably have to stay in bed for a whole day."He took my wrists softly and healed them for me.
"I wasn't able to get anyone..Everyone was at the Linar Line.It was ether run to get help and risk you getting killed,or take action.."I remembered that,he was unable to get help...And if he hadn't been there at that very moment,I would have been killed.
"Thank you Raye...For saving me from Kyo."He only smiled at me.
"No sweat,I was only helping a friend out."I smiled back at him."Well I best get back to my roo- oh wait.."He hit his hand against his forhead.
"You torched you bed remember?"It was a little funny come to think of it,he sighed and I looked down."You can stay here for now..Just stay on your side of the room."I tossed him a spare blanket,he missed and got hit in the head."Pfft!Hey what you do that for?"He sat down in the window and pulled his head out from under the blanket.
"Thanks though.Now I wont have to bunk with Fuma!He'd drive me nuts!"He chuckled at himself,I put my hands on my hips.
"Then you'd know how I feel!"I smirked,he stuck his tounge out at me as I snuggled under my blanket."Thanks Minore.Guess we help each other out today."He laid back and hit Geegee,the small bot beeped madly,trying to get Raye off her.
"Oops!Sorry bout that Geegee!"Geegee just flew into another little spot and went back into sleep mode,she's got a personality thats for sure.Raye covered himself up and I turned out the light"Your welcome.We are GUARDIANS Raye,its our job.."
Raye:Jeez you have one freaky mind.
Me:I know,I just couldn't help it,I HAD to put in a psychotic villian.
Minore:BUT WHY ME!!Why make a mad-man with the need to kill!?You are some kind of messed up girl.
Me:Takes a bowI tend to make epic a top priority of mine..Now GO AND REVIEW!Or I'll sneek into your room while your sleeping and write all over your face and then take your picture...AND POST IT ON THE WEB FOR THE WORLD TO SEE YOUR AGONY!!
