Chapter 5 A cry for hope
"So, what do we know about her?" Magno asked.
Duerro looked around the Conference room for a moment. Rain, Meia, Barnette, Hibiki, Dita, and BC were in the room as well waiting for any information on the new arrival. Duerro cleared his throat before going into the situation of the patient.
"The patients' name is, Misty Cornwell. She is sixteen years old and has been frozen for almost fifty years. Her vitals are still within the projected parameters of a normal person. Her brains' patterns are still a little on the frits, but are flattening out. She is slowly starting to regain consciousness, and it is lasting longer with each time she wakes up. At the rate she is progressing, she should be able to function normally within two to three days at most." He told them.
"Good," Magno stated. She turned to Rain. "What about Dale? How long will he be down for?"
"Maya is beginning low level restoration to wake him up, but since he's been asleep for eight to nine days, he could be out for a week or two." Rain stated. "Maya has also stated that a lot of his systems have been damaged from the environment he was placed in, meaning that a few systems may not come back until we've completely repaired his system with him awake."
"So don't expect too much from him for some time?" Barnette asked. Rain nodded. "Well that's great. I'm sure Meia wanted to start coming up with battle strategies as soon as possible."
"Indeed, but I think I can wait until he's back on his feet so to speak. Meia told her.
"What about your message to your people? Have you sent it to them?" BC asked
"I sent the message a week ago; it should be getting there in a few hours if not tomorrow. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear that the mission was a success." Rain told them. "In any case, they won't be sending us any reinforcements to help combat the enemy. So I don't think it'll matter any time real soon." Rain stood up and stretched his back.
"I suppose you have something more important than this meeting?" Magno questioned. Rain showed her his PDA which had a message written on it. Magno nodded and he left to do whatever it was he had to do.
"Where's he going?" Meia asked.
Magno shrugged as she said, "Maya said she has something to tell him. I don't know what, but it's probably serious," as she turned to look at BC. "What about the message? Have you made any progress on it?"
BC shook her head. "No. Parfait and I are fixing to work on it to see if we can crack it. Since our new friend can't remain conscious long enough to tell us anything about it, we're going to try to open it and see what's inside."
"Very well; let me know what you find when you open it." She answered. BC nodded and left the room with the message in hand. Magno turned to look at Hibiki, Meia, Barnette, and Dita. "I assume the mission went well with no problems?" She asked.
"We had a few problems, but not to worry about." Meia answered. Barnette scoffed at that. Magno raised a brow at Barnette's scoff. "Rain said he was going to us a dangerous explosive to blow a door in hopes of killing us. I think it was stated for Hibiki, and Barnette thinks it was stated against all of us."
"He meant Hibiki." Magno moaned.
"Man, what the hell did I ever do to him?!" Hibiki yelled. "I've never even seen the guy until he got here, so what gives?"
"It's not what you did, it's what Taraaku did." Duerro stated with a sigh. Hibiki looked over at him with a curious look. Duerro sighed. "He hates us for what our people did to him. That's why he hates us."
"That's so stupid!" Hibiki grumbled. "If he hates us for something that happened six years ago now, he's seriously got problems. What could he have possibly lost in that confrontation? If you ask me, he should be afraid of us since they blew up one our stations."
"Hatred is a powerful thing." Magno whispered.
"Don't worry, Mr. Alien, I'm sure he'll come around to understanding that you had nothing to do with that incident." Dita stated. Hibiki sighed as he stood up. "Where are you going, Mr. Alien?"
"Anywhere I can go to get some time to myself." He grumbled. Dita felt her heart break in two with that. The others all sighed as they watched Hibiki walk off with no real destination in his step. He definitely needed time to think about something. Hopefully he would get it off his mind in a few minutes.
"Anything else I need to know about?" Magno grumbled.
"No. Nothing else to report." Meia said. Magno nodded and stood up to leave. "I'll go talk to Rain to let him know that the meeting's done now. I'm sure he's not truly doing anything to important." Meia said as she stood up to leave. Magno nodded, and did the same as the others left the room.

"Are you sure?" Rain asked Maya. Maya appeared and bobbed up and down. "Well then, let's try to get it running." He stated with a grin.
"Agreed, but I still need a form to analyze before I can take on a form like that." She stated. Rain just raised a hand to his chin as he started thinking about it. He knew she was right. He sighed knowing she was right, but wondered what the chances were that someone would actually let him put all their physical data into his computer.
"Don't worry; I can go without a human form until Asaugi reaches us at Mejarru and Taraaku." Maya said. Rain nodded and put his computer away. A knock at the door had both of them looking back at it in confusion.
Rain sighed and walked over to the door to open it. He was greeted with a punch to the gut from Barnette. Once he regained his bearings, he noticed that Dita was wide eyed and Meia was just shaking her head. Barnette had a smile on her face for God only knows why. Rain instantly pulled her into the room and threw her into the closest wall as hard as he could. Barnette went dizzy before blacking out.
"Please tell me you didn't bring her here just so she would do that." Rain moaned as he motioned for them to come. Dita instantly went over to Barnette's side as she slowly began to wake up.
"No, I decided to come by and see what was so important that you would leave a meeting for." Meia told him. Rain raised a brow before lowering it as he walked over to a little PDA that was showing some strange numbers, algorithms, body parts, and wave length patterns.
"Maya told me that Asaugi upgraded her to be able to take on a human form now." Rain told them. Barnette eyed the strange sphere with confusion. Dita was blinking in surprise before the information finally seeped into her brain on what it meant. Meia just smiled. "The only real problem is that she'll have to take the form of someone else. She can alter it just a little. She's already decided on an outfit, hair style, and build wise. But the only problem is that the person selected might not like the idea."
"Why's that?" Dita questioned.
"Some people view it as wrong." Maya said. "Some people believe that AI's should only have one form, and that's my ball form. Most of the AI's were originally developed like that, and then we wanted to have our own bodies. That takes time though. But since it would make things a lot easier if I had a human form, I'd hope the person selected wouldn't mind."
"The people who view it as wrong are idiots in my eyes." Rain told them. The others nodded at that.
Dita had once talked to Maya about her human form, but found that she had yet to have hers truly finished. Dita had felt sad for her and offered to help, but Maya stated she wasn't compatible for a human form as of yet. Needless to say, Dita had made a promise to help her attain her form in any way possible.
"I'll do it, if you want me too." Dita stated. Rain looked over at Dita in confusion before Maya answered her.
"Thank you Dita, but this will take some time to set up." Maya told her. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the promise I made to you, okay?" Dita smiled as she walked over the floating AI.
"So, what's this I hear about needing a body?" Jura sang as she entered the room. She was giving the pilots a strange look before looking at the floating sphere. "You want a body to copy so you can have one of your own, right?"
"Well, yes, but Dita has…"
"Then I would be happy to let you copy my elegant body." Jura interrupted Maya before she could continue. "I mean, I am the cutest woman on this ship. So why not take my body?"
Rain started shaking his head in a strange manner that made it seem like he was trying to tear a piece of flesh free from a body. When he stopped, he walked over to a wall and smashed his head into it for good measure. "I'm going to state all the reasons I think you should rethink your choice of words, okay?" Rain told her. Jura glared at him as he started. "Number one, you are not the cutest women on this station, Amarone and Celtic are. Number two, 'Take my body', seriously, please rethink your words since you just successfully managed to sound like a lesbian to me. Lastly, she already made a promise to Dita to use her form. Besides, you're to fat and big breasted for her tastes."
"I AM NOT FAT!" Jura roared as she swung a fist at him. Rain smiled and caught it without even trying.
"I'm sorry then; I meant Big Boned." He laughed. Jura instantly tried to hit him with a hard kick, but Rain was quicker then she thought as he latterly rolled over her own arm and down her back while pulling her sword free of his sheath and pressing it against the back of her neck. "You're good, but I'm better." Rain whispered into her ear. Rain sheathed her weapon as he walked back over to his laptop and started working on something.
"What are you working on?" Meia questioned. She looked at the screen, not truly understanding what she saw. It looked like a trench coat or maybe a duster. She didn't know what it was actually.
"I'm helping Maya pick out her clothing." Rain answered as he started typing. Dita went dizzy from just watching him type. Meia herself was slightly shocked. Barnette was trying to calm down Jura, so she really didn't see anything. "From what we've got so far, she has a sleeveless trench coat, loose fit jeans, a plain muscle shirt with a fishnet long sleeved shirt underneath, and a pair of cowboy boots." Rain answered. "I still have to help her out with hair style, hats if she wants one, and any kind of accessories she wants. I already know she wants a swords like Alex's, so that people will know that she was his AI." Meia blinked as she looked at the floating sphere that was talking to Dita about something. Meia turned back to the screen as Rain began typing again.
"She really misses him, doesn't she?" Meia whispered. Rain nodded as he continued typing. "I wonder how his brothers' dealing with it?"
"He was told just after we left, he broke down and cried." Rain answered. Rain looked over his shoulder to see Jura leaving with Barnette. "I really hate those two." He growled. Meia slapped him on the head for his bluntness and hateful words to one of her own. "Sorry, but those two just drive me insane."
"Its okay, I guess I just expect you to be more like Alex some times." Meia said while rubbing the back of her head. Rain just mumbled an "Okay," while he continued typing.
"What is it that you wish?" Rain said. Maya blinked in surprise. She was about to open her mouth to speak when the screen popped up with a strange image. "Nice to see the password still works. Now let's start preparing your system for your new body."
"What kind of password is that?" Meia asked.
"Technically it's not a password, more like a special word that Maya choose when she was given to Alex." Rain told her.
"Yes, in truth, those were the first words I spoke to him the day I met him." Maya told them.
"I see." Meia whispered.

"So, how's are new patient coming along?" Duerro questioned. Misty just smiled from her bed as Duerro started checking her with a few minor medical tools before checking some of the monitors. "You seem to be getting better rather quickly, maybe even faster than what I first predicted."
"I guess that means I can go walk around the ship, right?" She asked playfully. Duerro slowly nodded as he walked over to her to help her sit up. "Would you show me around the ship?"
"I'm sorry, but I have another patient I'll be checking on in a few minutes." He placed his hands in his pockets. "I'll be leaving you for a few minutes. Please, feel free to walk around this area while I examine the other patient." He stated as he walked off.
(-)
"Are you sure, Dita?" Ezra asked. Dita nodded with a smile. "I wonder what she would look like if she did." She mussed.
"I don't know, but I'm sure she'll look really cool. Rain already showed me her outfit, so I can't wait for this evening." Dita threw her arms into the air as she rolled on the ground with a big goofy grin on her face. "To think, she'll be able to take on a human form before the end of the day!"
"I'm sure that Jura will try to throw a party for her, even if she can't use any of the things she'd give her." Ezra said. Dita just laughed at the joke Ezra made. It wasn't often that Ezra made jokes unless someone set themselves up just right for her to pounce on anyways. "Say, how's Hibiki coming along with his promise?" Dita blinked at the sudden change in subject, but answered anyways.
"He still hasn't kept it." She pouted. Ezra just smiled as she slowly stood up. Dita followed suit with the same pout on her face. Ezra's face darkened slightly before contorting into pain. Dita was instantly by her side. "Ezra, are you okay? What's wrong?"
"The baby… I think… its time." She gasped as another contraction hit her. Dita slowly began helping Ezra to the nearby elevator. "Please… hurry."
"Don't worry, Ezra. Everything will be just fine." Dita told her as they made it to the main hallway. Dita caught movement out of the corner of her. She recognized it as Hibiki instantly. "Mr. Alien!" Hibiki instantly let his reflexes kick in as he began to run. "No, wait!" Dita cried. Hibiki oddly enough stopped and took another look at what was going on. His eyes instantly latched onto Ezra's face that was still showing her pain. "Mr. Alien, please help us! Ezra is about to have her baby! We need to get her to Duerro right away!" Hibiki nodded and ran over to them, taking one of Ezra' arms and placing it around his neck to help her walk.
"Thank you… Hibiki." Ezra gasped. Hibiki just nodded as they slowly made their way to the elevator.

"Okay, so let me get this straight." Rain had been talking to BC for a few minutes when she realized that she might, need help cracking into the system of the message. "You want me to place Maya inside Pyoro, so she can help him in cracking this storage device?" BC nodded. "You know I won't do that, right?" BC nodded again. "So then why ask me?"
"Punishment for leaving the meeting early." She simply stated. Rain glared at her before snatching up Maya's chip and placing it inside Pyoro. BC smiled as she began working with the AI and Robot in fixing the container. "Okay, first level of security as been dealt with." BC calmly told him.
"No errors detected on my end." Maya said. "Now beginning low level interface." Pyoro's eyes glazed/fuzzed over as Maya began taking control of his body. "Low level interface, complete. Now beginning hacking sequence; hacking sequence complete."
So far so good, but something still feels off. Rain thought. Rain's fears instantly became reality as Pyoro and Maya shut down. Not two seconds later, power around the ship began shutting down. The Bridge was the first thing hit. BC quickly began trying to assess the situation.
"Move over!" Rain shouted as he pushed BC out of the chair to take a seat in her chair. Rain took over typing at a fast rate as he tried to figure out what was going on. "All systems are shutting down! Power levels are still dropping! At this rate, we won't have any power left to keep the Life Support Systems online!" Rain stated as he turned to BC.
"What's causing this?!" She demanded.
"It's coming from the message device!" He stated. BC paled as she reached for the device. Rain had only seconds to stop her from pulling it out. "Don't, if you pull it out, then we'll lose Maya and Pyoro!"
"But if I pull it out, we might be able to minimize the damage done to the ship!" She stated as she grabbed hold of the device. Rain's hand snapped out to stop her from pulling it out. "Rain, let go now!" She seethed.
"I'm not going to let you endanger Maya." He growled as he snapped her wrist backwards causing her to wince in pain. "Let go before I break your wrist in two." He threatened. BC let go of the device as she cringed in pain.
The ship instantly rocked left and right, sending the two bickering crewmen to the ground. BC was instantly on her feet while shouting, "Statues report".
"There is a fleet of Cube types and two Egg Carriers, Ma'am!" Celtic shouted.
"We've got power outage all over the ship!" Belvedere shouted. "Multiple sections of the ship are starting to fail! We've got multiple sections closed down with our crew with no way to get out!"
"The Dreads can't get out of the hanger!" Amarone shouted. "The power is out to the hanger as well! We can't defend ourselves!"
"Damn it!" Rain shouted as he tried to start opening the door. BC was instantly there to help. "Damn it all, this would have been easier if you just had the patience's of an old man, you old hag!" Rain yelled. BC chose to ignore his comment about her age, seeing as that she was only twenty two years old while he was seventeen. "Note to self: Kill BC for being an idiot!" He continued.
"You can kill me later!" She shouted. The door finally was opened with the help of Bart and a few Techs on the other side. Rain ran over Bart with no care or remorse as he ran down the corridor towards the hanger. BC looked down at Bart and the foot print that had been driven into his face. "You're late." She smiled. Bart glared at her as he stood up. "To the helm, now!"

"What the hell's going on?" Hibiki questioned. Ezra's cries of pain were getting worse with each passing minute. They had gotten to the elevator when the power ran out and trapped them. Hibiki took a minute to look at his two companions. Dita was sitting on her knees while Ezra's head was lying on her lap. Dita was moving Ezra's hair away from her face when it got there from her shaking her head in an attempt to deal with the pain.
"Mr. Alien, are we going to be okay?" Dita finally asked. Hibiki looked at her with confusion written on his face. He really didn't know, but from the sounds of the battle outside, it didn't look like it was going to well.
"Damn it all, I need to get outside and help them." Hibiki groaned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Alien. I'm sure that everything will be alright. Rain is out there helping them out right now." She stated as she moved another stray strand of hair from Ezra's face.
"I know that!" He shouted. Dita flinched under his yell as she tried to help Ezra with her new contraction she was going through. "I don't understand why you aren't worried about the fight right now! We need to get out there and help them before we all die!"
"Please… stop fighting." Ezra gasped. The two looked down at Ezra as she grabbed their hands and clasped them together. "Please stop… fighting… for me… please?" She winced in pain again. "Please just stop."
"Hibiki, are you in there?" Duerro asked over the radio.
"Yeah, I'm in here with Dita and Ezra. Ezra's in a lot of pain Doc, we need to get her out of here now. I think she's trying to have her baby or something." Hibiki replied.
"I am already aware of that. Ezra, how bad is the pain?" Ezra's reply to his question was a large scream of pain. "Dita, how short are her contractions getting?"
"They're coming every few seconds now. Before, they were every two to three minutes, but now there down to ever thirty seconds if not less." She hastily said. She could hear someone else on the other end sigh loudly.
"That means the baby isn't going to wait around any longer, it's coming out now." Mango stated.
"But she's not in the infirmary." Duerro hastily stated. "The baby could be contaminated with a virus or…"
"I don't think the baby wants to wait any more. It's coming out now." She stated. She sighed again. "Dita, Hibiki, you're going to have to help Ezra get through this until either the baby is born or the power comes back on. So I want Dita to keep Ezra as calm as you can and as relaxed as possible. Hibiki, you'll be catching the baby if it comes out."
"You gotta be kidding me?!" Hibiki yelled.
"You're a man aren't you? So catch that baby or I'll be making sure you can't have kids!" She threatened. She could hear Hibiki gulping at her threat.
"Okay then, let's just pray the power comes back on, shall we?" Hibiki muttered.

"Damn it all!" Rain yelled as another Cube exploded near him. Rain retaliated to the explosion by throwing his beam boomerang into a large force of Cubes. The weapon sliced them in half while a few got away with only a few missing limbs. A wave of missiles finished those ones off as Meia's Dread appeared beside his red machine. "Damn it all; when is that idiot and his love struck girlfriend going to get out here?!" Rain yelled.
"It doesn't matter." Meia appeared on his screen. "Just keeping fighting the enemy until they arrive. Power is out to the whole ship, excluding Radios and a few service lights, so chances are they were in the elevator and got stuck."
"He's a man isn't he? Why can't he just jump out of the elevator and climb up to a shaft to get out?" Rain blasted a few more Cubes with his rifle. "That guy is useless without someone to guide him and think for him!"
"Be that as is it may, we still have a job to do." Barnette yelled. "We have to protect the Nirvana until the enemy is destroyed!" Barnette shot down three more Cubes while dodging the enemy's fire.
Rain growled at her while he shot down three more Cubes with his rifle alone. The three split up and began to take out the new arrivals that were created from the two carriers. Barnette and Jura were going after one of the new groups with one platoon helping them. Rain was dealing with the carrier at the moment with three golden Dreads following him. Meia was taking care of the other new arrivals with two platoons while the remaining three platoons dealt with carrier.
Rain growled as he was forced to detach from his jet pack, to send it flying towards the carrier that was attacking him. Meia got out of the way while watching as a silver spear shoot out from it hiding place while the jet packs' thrusters flared to life to send it crashing into the carrier. A loud yell of, "Take that, you bastard!" as the jet pack exited the carriers' backside. Rain blasted the carrier with a few shots from his rifle while Meia turned to help with a wave of laser rounds, blasting the stunned carrier away. The jet pack snapped back into place while Rain blasted a few more Cubes into space dust while Meia went back to dealing with the new arrivals.
Jura was having a pretty hard time. The Cubes had managed to get behind her while she was trying to take down a few more Cubes that were attacking the Nirvana. The Carrier had become their main target after it had latched onto the wing of this ship with its red metallic bindings' as it tried to pull the ship with it. Barnette was shooting at the center of the mouth of the carrier where the red beams were based at. Unfortunately, the Cubes were back to their old tactics of turning into shield to protect the carrier. The Cubes were unaware of Rain and Meia's presence until it was too late. The duo appeared from behind and blasted the base of the metallic bindings' away before destroying the carrier.
"Well, that was fun." Rain sighed as he left the battlefield to return to the ship. A strange cry rang out over the net. Rain blinked in confusion before realizing that it was a baby's cry. "I'll be damned, that kids' got bad timing when it comes to wanting out." Rain whispered.
For some, it was a cry that had been waited for a long time. A baby's cry to them was like a leader returning to the battlefield to help their troops. Even though the battle had been over for a few minutes, it was still encouraging to hear its first cry as it came into the world. For others, it meant something more, and reminded them of moments with their families. The pilots all listened to the sounds of the baby crying as they all started heading back to the ship.
"Let's head back." Meia suggested. Jura and Barnette were already way ahead of her as they began crying for joy when the power began to kick back on. Rain nodded and followed Meia back into the hanger.
(-)
Ezra saw a lot of things as intense pain coursed through her body. She saw her childhood, her favorite times with Rebecca, her bad times with her, and even how she met Magno. She saw a white light for a few seconds before a shadowy figure appeared in front of it with something in its arms. She thought she heard something that sounded like a baby crying. It was a baby crying, and Dita was holding a small baby in her arms. That baby had brown hair with pale white skin. She was wrapped in Dita's jacket she always wore.
"Congratulation, it's a girl." Dita stated. Man, that sounded completely obvious. Dita shrugged as she pushed that strange thought from her mind while handing the small bundle of joy to its mother.
"Thank you… Dita." Ezra stammered as she took the little bundle of joy. The little baby finally calmed down in its mothers' arms as she slowly began letting the baby nurse. Dita smiled at the sight before her eyes glanced down to an unconscious Hibiki. Hibiki passed out after Magno told him to "Catch" the baby.
(-)
"Cool." Rain said. Everyone was staring at the new crewmate with smiles on their faces. Most of the crew had already seen the baby when they exited the elevator, so the sight wasn't that new to them. For those that had yet to see the new arrival, they were all smiles and shooting off every kind of question under the sun about her. Most of the questions involved names for the kid, but a few were asking about how she was going to take care of the child without her Ouma around. Rain had a smile on his face as he looked down at the little baby with wide eyes. For some reason, he had actually gotten rather interested in the baby after its first cry, and was now just smiling at it.
"It's so small." Rain whispered.
"Babies are normally small, Rain." Ezra told him with a smile. Rain blinked a few times before smiling at her and her first born.
(-)
"So the message required a password?" Magno asked. BC nodded. "And Ezra's baby is what triggered it?" Again BC nodded. "So a baby's cry was the password to this little device." BC gave her a look of nothing but pure stupidity on the makers' part. "And what about the contents, do we know anything about what's inside?"
"A message was played after the power came back on." Pyoro announced.
"A message; what kind of message?" Magno asked.
"We're uncertain since we missed most of it, but we intend to have Pyoro play it back for us." BC told her. "I'll start assembling the crew so we can watch it. Something tells me we might be wanting to get three more pods ready to send to our worlds and Rain's." Magno nodded.
Not ten minutes later, what crew could fit in the Bio Garden, which was almost everyone except for the pilots since they all wanted to rest, were in the garden to watch the message. BC nodded to Pyoro to play the video. Pyoro nodded back and began playing the movie. Two scientist came one screen, one male and another female, both wearing the gear to prove it, and with a strange eye piece covering their eyes.
"Hello to those who are watching this video." The male spoke first. "I do hope that the password we chose didn't cause too many problems since we wanted to use an infant cry as a beacon of hope for all of mankind to show that we are still living strong." A few of the pilots that were watching grumbled a few curses. "However, the password is the least of your worries now. Our Ancestral home world, Earth, has began an attack on all planets that have been colonized. As to what started this, we are uncertain of, but one thing we do know, is that they are after our body parts."
"We are uncertain as to why Earth would begin such a campaign, but we are certain that this is not the way our forefathers had planed things." The woman took over. "Earth has already stolen the body parts of hundreds of worlds, each planet lied to, in order for them to get what they want. For those that refuse to listen to their words, they're lives are ended in a… more horrifying way." She paused. "We are currently giving them all we have, but we will not hold out much longer, so, we are sending this child, our child, in this pod with the hope that those who watch this, will stand up for their right to live."
"Take a look at our once beautiful world." The man stated. A display of what looked like something from a science fiction movie appeared. The outside of the planet had visible gears with a greenish gas spilling from it. Hundreds, if not thousands of Flag Ships could be seen leaving its orbit for what everyone figured far off colonies, planets, and other types of settlements, in order to harvest their organs. "The people of Earth turned our once proud planet, into a wasteland of death and decay after you left. Gears and large machines now keep the planet stable, but unfortunately, life is not as lucky. From what we know, the people started to clone body parts, but in the end, they ran out of original materials, and the body parts began to wither away."
"You must not allow these atrocities to continue." The woman took over. "I hope that if you are listening to this, you are as ashamed as we are about it. Human kind was not meant for this, and as such, we ask that you help us in fighting this battle. We alone can not win. We must stand together to fight them. So please, listen to your hearts, and I pray you will then make the right choice." The image faded away.
When the message was killed, everyone stood in silence. No one really knew what to think about. They had all known they were from Earth, but never really knew much about it. Out of all the people that were most affected by it, there was none more than Magno. She was latterly disgusted by what she had seen. She played the message over again in her head, hoping to find some reason for as to why they would go that far. What could have pushed them that far to begin with? Magno sighed as she activated her chair to take her to her room. The crew all watched as she left. Everyone knew that she was from the First Generation, and that she literally had once gotten to see it with her own eyes. For her to see her world in such a way must have been down right sad.
(-)
"So, they come from Earth and not in peace." Rain stated. Misty nodded in agreement. The two had watched the message, and were now in one of the hallways near the Infirmary incase she blacked out again. "To think, I know very little about it, but even I still feel hatred for something I had once never seen with my own eyes. What a surprise." He mussed.
"Don't be, they're monsters that go bump in the night." She replied. Misty looked out at the stars as she placed a hand on the window. "I'm all alone now, aren't I?" She asked.
Rain nodded, but kept his eyes diverted from hers. Misty sighed knowing that she was truly alone. She didn't need him to conform it, she already knew it. Her family was gone, her home was probably gone, her friends were gone, and her life was gone. Now all she had was a new life that she felt as she didn't fit in with. She was in space, one of the few places she ever thought she'd be. She was on a ship that was completely strange and prone to odd things. Most of the people on the ship were women that seem to have a grudge against men on their world, and vice versa for the men. She was just so confused that she didn't know which way was up and which way was down, all she knew was that she was alone and had nowhere to go.
"I wonder what's going to happen now?" She whispered. Rain walked over to her side and placed an arm around her waist.
"You know something; I had a friend that once told me to take things slow until you regain your feet." He told her. Misty looked over at him with a strange glance. Rain smirked and continued. "Life may get confusing, but at least you're alive, and that's what truly counts. Well, it counts in my book anyways."
"If only it was that easy." She whispered. "I don't know anything about this ship, and here I am with no family, no friends, no clue about what's going on on this ship, nothing. I just wish I was back home with my mother and father right now."
"So you wish for death without thinking about the future you may have because of your mission?" Rain questioned as he began walking away. Misty stopped and spun around to look at him in shock. "You remind me of someone, someone I once knew but chose to forget. I wonder if you'll do the something he did?" He mussed as he vanished into the darkness of shadow in the hallway.
What does that mean? Misty thought. She huffed as she turned back towards the window. To think of a future for the life I now lead because of my mission, huh? What makes me so special if all I'll do is get in their way? I'm going to be an outsider looking in until I die.
A/N
So there's Misty for you and the message she had. Hope I didn't screw that part up to bad. Anyways, for those of you that are curious, yes, my job has slowed down, meaning I can update faster. If I got the little backpack thingy wrong for the Justice, I'm sorry but I'm going to leave it like that. As for Maya's human form, please be patient. Lastly, please Read, Review, and any helpful criticism will be appreciated.
