Disclaimer: I do not own Vandread. I did make Kagen and I am ready to cooperate with anyone if they want to put him into another story. Neo Strife is a character that I was asked to put in my story by a fan of my writing.
(Neo doesn't know about Kagen's death just yet. So I'm keeping him out of it, because he is in the Brig.)
Hibiki finds himself floating in the blue abyss again. Rabat and Utan appear and ask,
"Is life something so dynamic yet fragile?"
"Life is… proof…that you are alive."
"Hibiki's existence… proof of life… proof for Hibiki…"
Suddenly the enemy mothership floats past him leaving him scared witless.
On the Nirvana
Dita is frantically searching for Hibiki with the telescope. She says, "Mr. Alien… where did you go?"
She sees Rabat's ship and says, "Huh? That's… that's…"
Rabat's ship docks and he opens the hatch. When he steps out he dumps Hibiki on the floor in front of him. He says, "You dropped this."
Dita runs up to him and says, "Mr. Alien! Wake-up! Mr. Alien."
He starts to open his eyes and Dita cheers up. She says, "Mr. Alien! Are you alright? Do you recognize Dita?" Hibiki ignores her and looks at his left hand. Dita continues, "I was so worried. Dita will cook you something very healthy." He then looks at the bandage on his right arm. Dita continues, "Hold on, instead of that…" Hibiki remembers everything in a flash.
He suddenly gets up and says, "There's no time for that right now!" He runs past Barnette and Jura.
Barnette says, "What are you standing there for? Go after him!"
A security member says, "Yes!" And hurries after him.
Dita gets up and says, "Ah! Wait up Mr. Alien! Don't touch him!"
Barnette says, "Dita!"
Rabat starts to walk down the ramp and is stopped by the rest of the security team. He asks, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Barnette says, "We can't leave the men alone anymore."
"Did something happen? You guys…"
On the Bridge
Amarone asks, "Hey, hey, how is it? Can you fix it? Well, if we can't control it without the men around…"
Ezra says, "Everyone, there's tea!"
Magno says, "Ah, the kids are doing well."
Hibiki has finally reached the Bridge and runs straight up to the Captain. He says, "Old lady, I have something to tell you."
Back at the Brig
The women put Rabat in with the other men. Rabat says, "Hey, hey, humans are a brotherhood."
Bart asks, "What are you doing here?"
"That's what I was wanted to ask you."
Duero says, "We're waiting for the storm to pass…"
Bart asks, "Where is your partner?"
Rabat says, "Utan is a female…"
On the Bridge
"It is our turn to face them next. They will come for sure. Kagen and the force from Melanos died trying to destroy them. Unlike the ones at Anpathos."
BC says, "For that they were massacred."
Hibiki says, "I don't want their deaths to be in vain."
Magno asks, "Is it your first time? To see someone die?"
Hibiki is startled by this question and has a flashback of Seran lying there dead. He clutches his right arm on the bandage.
Magno asks, "So? Do you think we can win?"
Hibiki has a flashback to the battle and says, "We'll probably… die trying."
Magno asks, "Do you think we can win with power alone?"
Hibiki says, "No. Kagen already tried that and died."
Magno says, "There is no use in doing anything without a plan."
Meia (Who had been listening to the conversation from the doorway) thinks, 'Well, that confirms it, Kagen is dead. And now we need a plan to destroy this thing.'
I know, I skipped a bunch of the story. But I have to separate a part of it. Sorry it took me so long to get this out.
Here are my feelings on reviews: 1. Please do!
2. Any review is better than no review.
3. I don't like ROMs (Read Only Moron)s
So please don't be an Idiot and Not Review. I really don't care what you say as long as you say something. Anonymous reviews are fine. If you want to, you may email me. If you have any requests I'll be happy to listen to them. And who knows? I might just use them and give you credit.
