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.
Kagen wakes up inside a crystaline sphere not unlike the Paksis Sphere.
"Where the heck am I? I should be dead. I completely disassembled my atomic structure to create the energy that I stuck the enemy with. I literally disappeared from existence. Why am I here? Why am I alive?"
The lights come on inside the room that the sphere is in. A boy in a chair floats over to the sphere and says, "Simple really, I just captured your energy inside this yellow power crystal. In the process, it filtered out the filthy blue Paksis energy out."
"Why do you want me alive?"
"Why to use your channeling abilities against your friends, of course."
"I would never betray them, understand me? NEVER!"
"I am quite sure you wouldn't, IF you had a choice in the matter. Unfortunately for you, I have complete control over your energies."
"I don't see how you can control me."
"Like this." He touches the crystal and it glows red. Energy bolts attach to his arms and legs.
Kagen screams as his left wrist crystal turns red. The rest of the beams start to burn into him and leave red crystal bands on his right wrist and on his ankles. He screams at the kid in a voice not his own, "YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, YOU BRAT!"
He glows Blue for a sec and the energy bands burn a bright blue. The energy beams fade and then the kid shakes off his shock and says, "Be gone, you Being of the Heavens, You have no power here!"
The blue fades from Kagen and the bands now on his wrists and ankles (They turn colorless.) The kid walks away, shivering. "I'll take care of you later." He says as he turns the corner.
Kagen is dreaming.(Actually it is a vision.)
He sees himself in that kid's control shooting beams at the Nirvana and his friends.
He first takes off Vandread Dita's left arm with a beam, He then has to watch in horror as he destroys Meia's dread with another direct hit. He then takes out Jura. Hibiki moves his arm to fire at Kagen and Kagen's Vanguard grabs the cannon draining the remaining power from the Vandread. He then blasts the legs off of the Vandread and lets it drift into a position which he knows Hibiki can see the Nirvana being destroyed. Kagen obliterates the Nirvana and everyone onboard. Kagen wakes up screaming, "Noooooo!" The crystal glows yellow with his power. The kid walks in and touches the crystal. The red beams return to Kagen's wrists and ankles, subduing him and turning his crystals red. (The ones on his wrists and ankles) He tests out his degree of control over Kagen, by destroying a random planet with a beam of Kagen's energy. He says, "Good, I have complete control now. Now for stage two."
Kagen is floating inside his mind in a cage. He rattles the door of his cage. He says to himself, "He may have control of my body, but at least my mind is free. Wait! That means I have to watch as he kills people using my power! I tried getting free before and he got more control over me. I won't make that mistake again."
He concentrates and the scenery changes. The scenery is now of a starship command deck. He flips the cage toward the Captain's control panel. He flips it again and again, until he can barely reach the controls. He can't flip it again because then he might crush the controls, which then his body would go out of control and him go insane.
He thinks to himself, 'This might just work. By changing my mind into a ship, I gave myself some controls I'm used to. I can barely reach the weapons controls, so that I can alter my shots so that they are off by a margin. I can also access my partial telepathy. I didn't know I had that. I mean sometimes I felt it but, I never thought…'
'I need to send some sort of message, Like an S.O.S.! The only people I can send it to are Meia, Barnette, Dita, Hibiki, and Jura. I guess that will just have to do. It will have to be kinda like a vision. I got it! I'll send my dream and alter the shots so they hit in different spots. That should be enough indication for Hibiki to realize how to beat it. I just hope that the message doesn't reconnect that mindlink between me and Meia, it would be dangerous if HE ever got control of my mind. Cause then he would control me and her.'
He sends the message just as the doors open and his crystal is loaded into the new battleship. He thinks, 'I hope it gets through. If not, then we are all doomed.'
He imagines a chair for himself and an owner's manual for his brain. He begins to read it as his new battleship is en route to the Nirvana.
I know, I know, I skipped the 12th and 13th episodes. I did that because, well, Kagen would have been reconstructing his body at that time and my story is about him. So I'm skipping to Second Stage: Episode 1 Red Angel. In my downtime I forgot most of the storyline. That was in part thanks to the stupid people in charge of the WAM channel. They took Vandread off the air right when I needed it. I don't have a copy of episode13 from the first season anyway. That is because my stupid computer deleted it somehow without my permission. The rest I am lucky to say, I have up until the 9th episode of the second season.
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.
