Chapter 15
Melancholic mood
"This one's name is…wow! I can't believe it. Claude C. Kenni. Hey, that's the son of the Federation hero, Ronixis J. Kenni," Cliff said. Fayt finished analysing the girl.
"Rena Kenni, formally Rena Landford, of Nedian and Expelian descent. She seems to be the wife of Claude Kenni," Fayt said. They walked over to the three who were originally huddled on the left side.
"Ashton Anchors. Of Expel. He has twin dragons on his back due to an unfortunate possession by the demons named Gyoro and Ururun. Man, this guy must be unlucky. Next, oh! Leon D. S. Geeste. A Fellpool, raised on Expel. Later lived on Earth for about a year and created this very ship. Amazing. It's a shame he's dead, it would have been interesting to talk to such a genius. Next. Precis F. Neumann. Of Expel. She was quite an inventor. In fact, she seemed to have created things that our planets had and without any taking of ideas. Quite an achievement," Cliff explained.
Fayt was knelt down in front of the two who were on the other side of the ship.
"Wow, that must be amazing, for you to give such compliments," Fayt said, which received a 'hey' from Cliff. "The red headed male. No information is given, only that he goes by the name of Aniki. But he seems to have traces of magic in him. Well, he had magic in him. Next. Celine Jules, of Expel. A Heraldy user and quite a powerful one at that," Fayt said. Cliff walked over to the two who were in the first right hand bedroom.
"Tetragenes. I can see that right away. Ernest Reviede, once a well-known archaeologist and Opera Vectra, who seemed to devout her time to finding Ernest. Quite the gunner," Cliff said.
"Ok, here were have Dias Flac, of Expel, who knew some form of swordsmanship. And Chisato Madison, of Nede. A reporter and a martial artist," Fayt said.
"And here we have Noel Chandler, of Nede. A pacifist and a friend to animals. And here Bowman Jean, of Expel. A pharmacist," Cliff said.
"These two don't have anything on them. They must have been friends with that Aniki. And the red headed girl, she's Kenni's twin Ariette M. Kenni. It seems she had some trouble on the planet Vendeen. Whoa. And she was experimented on," Fayt said. Everyone looked from Fayt to the frozen girl next to him.
"Maan, I can't believe it. Well, atleast now she's resting in peace," Cliff said. They all stood around in silence for a bit. Maria walked away from the console, telling them she had completed the transfer.
Cliff and Fayt nodded and they all started to heave the statues from this ship onto theirs. Luckily Mirage moved the ship nearer and they placed the statues in a few spare bedrooms. They all sat around in the main room and watched Mirage, as she loaded the video from the Dimensional Streaker up onto the screen. The image flickered for a bit, then showed a view of space. Talking could be heard in the background.
'Hey, what is this function Leon?' A male voice asked.
'Well, big brother. I thought it would be interesting to put a little video documentation diary onto the control system. So as we can look back on our adventures and remember all the fun times we had. Haha, you could show it to yours and big sister's child when they grow up. And we can all get together again when we're old and watch it with our children and maybe even grandchildren.' The one called Leon said. The video wobbled and the sound of buttons being pressed could be heard. The screen turned in a circle and they saw the frozen beings there on film, looking like they did before being frozen to death.
'Wow Leon. That's really neat.' The one known as Precis said.
The red headed one named Aniki stood up and waved at the camera.
'Hey, son. It's me, your dad. I bet you're thinking, Whoa, my dad was handsome. Well, I'm sure you are quite the devilish-' he said, before the one known as Celine hit him in the stomach.
'Hey, darling. How do you even know if we have children? I haven't decided if you're the one yet.' Celine said. Aniki started grabbing Celine's arm, moaning about being sorry and that he'll make up for it. In the end she threatened a thunder bolt. He gave in. The camera faced Claude for a while.
'So where are we off to?' The one called Ashton asked.
'Who knows? Maybe we can discover new places. Hey, where are the others?' Claude asked.
'Ernest and Opera are being all lovey-dovey in your room. Dias and Chisato are talking in Celine's room. Aniki's buddies are snoring in their room. Bowman and Noel are battling it out with a game of poker. And Ariette seems to be deep in thought in our room.' Precis replied. Claude nodded, concentrating on the blankets of space in front of him. Rena was happily holding onto Claude's arm, Precis and Leon were sat on the floor, talking about stuff and Celine and Aniki were snuggling at the other end. Cluade's face shifted from relaxed to fear-ridden shock. He hastily started pushing lots of buttons quicker and quicker. This worried everyone, as the ship vibrated and felt like it had hit something. Rena started hugging onto Claude harder and Leon and Precis screamed along with Ashton and his dragons. Celine and Aniki looked tense, but soon relaxed, knowing that worrying would not get them anywhere.
The screen flicked outside for a bit, showing a large glowing planet, flashing white and blue. What seemed like giant ropes of icy light started coming towards the ship and eventually hit it, grabbing the ship and pulling it in. The screen flicked back to the interior, as the people onboard the Dimentional Streaker instantly froze over. The screen went black and Fayt and the others stared in shock. Mirage turned the film off and faced them.
"Horrible. I guess we were fortunate to have our shields up. Either that, or the planet is unstable, and freezes random ships that fly by unexpectedly. Either way, we must consult the Federation of our discovery. What was deemed could be dangerous has turned to imminent danger," Mirage said. Everyone nodded. Sophia and Peppita started crying.
"That was so sad. I can't believe something like that could happen," Sophia wept. Albel stood up.
"I'm going to retire to my room," Albel said, before leaving the room. He entered his room and sighed. He remembered the strange feeling of déjà vu when he entered the ship. He shook his head, dismissing it for being nothing worth worrying about. He got into bed and slept.
Maria and Mirage continued to steer the ship. Cliff and Fayt sat in the lounge area, discussing that day's surprises. Mirage turned to the boys.
"Hey, it looks like we're going to take a bit longer getting to Earth. There's going to be a meteor wave in the Sol region. We will take the long way around. We may be on here on a couple of days. Rest tight guys," Mirage explained. Fayt and Cliff nodded. Fayt sighed.
"It's really tragic. I mean, Kenni was having a child. To think there could have been a Kenni still here," Fayt said. Cliff just looked at him and sighed.
"Yeah. Bad things happen and there's nothing you can do about it, kid," Cliff said, leaning back on the couch looking relaxed.
"Maybe it was someone like Luther, up in 4-D space. He was a pretty nasty guy," Fayt said. Cliff nodded, agreeing at the possibility.
"But, we'll never know now. We still don't really know how 4-D space works. Four hundred years to us could be four days up there. Well, not quite that, I mean, that does not sound right, as we would have come back to find a good few years have gone by. But you know what I mean," Cliff said. Fayt nodded and sat back, reflecting sadly.
"Is it normal to feel sad for those you don't even know? Who died four centuries ago?" Fayt asked. Cliff nodded.
"Good people are those who feel for other's loss and so on. I mean, death is a sad thing, be it of a loved one or someone you don't know," Cliff said.
Fayt nodded and they carried on discussing the issue. Meanwhile Roger and Peppita were sat in Roger's room, talking about what each had been doing in the time since they had last seen each other. Nel was sat in her room, but she soon got up and joined Cliff and Fayt in the lounge. Sophia lounged around in her room, writing in her diary and other such stuff. This carried on for a few days, as the recent discovery weighed heavily on everyone's minds. Four days after the incident, everyone was feeling tired, for no apparent reason. Cliff and Fayt sat in the lounge, Sophia was in her room. Roger and Peppita played board games in Peppita's room, and Nel and Albel slept in their rooms. Mirage and Maria piloted the ship. One could cut the tension with a knife. Somewhere around noon, though, the tension was cut.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" A female voice screamed.
Author's note: Dun, dun, duuuuuun. What did you think? You finally know the reason I managed to incorporate both games. Please read and review. :3
