The leader curse loudly, he thought that with a jinx of board the ships weaponry might fail or something. Besides, even if the weapons were in perfect working order, he didn't expect that many. Obviously there were things that the Starlight Falcon's crew did not report back to Hyper Quantum. "Give them all you got, don't go own without a fight." But there was really not much of a fight they could put up.
xoxox xox xoxox
Though one might logically think that Yuki was referring to her son, Gojaru felt it wasn't so simple. He felt as if the 'you' could have been meant for him, or most likely for both of them. "Don't worry Yuki-chan, we won't get into anything we can't get out of," maybe that wasn't the best way to word things. "What I mean is, I'll keep the situation is under control," but with his definition of control it might not sound as good as he wanted it to, but he wasn't sure how else to say it.

"Won't matter how much you fight." Chaos mumbled to himself. he continued to put in commands and the crew followed his example and did as he would have liked. While not the captain, Chaos had been there just as long. He knew what he was doing by now.
Chaos seemed to like to give orders and even seemed to get irritated when Gojaru would take his time with things like this.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Yuki's hand raised up in the first fit of irritation that she had had in a long time. "what am I going to do with the two of you?" she inquired to no one in particular.
"If I was there," Minoru commented, "It's be easier to keep me out of 'trouble'."
"Minoru, don't." Yuki started, "And Gojaru, you're encouraging him."

The enemy ships continued to fire as if they didn't care they were severely over powered. At that rate they would turned to space dust, but there was no base to return to and they didn't seem to care.
xoxox xox xoxox
Gojaru was about to say Minoru had a point, because he really did, but decided it was best to keep quiet about that. "Relax Yuki-chan we won't make you worry, right Minoru?"

Nero went back to his position, which wasn't that far away. He was awaiting further orders. Nero noticed that Chaos seemed to like being "top dog" for lack of better words. He was looking at the screen watching the ships levels and making sure no one hit the "fire" button until they were told too.
~*~*~*~ "Well what do we have here?" Seth asked herself. She tilted her head to get a better look, it was a bug. A bug in her den? Not on her watch. Seth grabbed the closest tool availiable and started smacking all over the place to kill the bug. Needless to say the bug ran off and Seth smacked her head on some pipes.
She grabbed her head and staggered, "Who's the genius that put that there?"
"Yuki when you get back, I'm giving you an earful. So watch out...because I think I have a concussion." She informed anyone listening to her.

Eventually shooting would have been pointless, there shouldn't have been anything left but dust. Chaos thought on this and gave a sigh. He was now bored, he should really learn not to over do things and if Aya had not been there he may have been a little nicer. He'd have stormed the ship and taken everything as opposed to destroying it.
He stood, "If by chance there is something left, make it go away." He gave a nod and headed back down the hallways to see Aya.
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Her knees buckled as soon as Minoru nodded and agreed with Gojaru. She should have known something like this would happen and while part of her felt relieved the other part of her was even more worried than before.
"Minoru," she softly said, "You know you cannot be here because sometimes it is really dangerous, and while I could keep you out of trouble from normal things nothing says that it is safe for you to be here."
There were always slim chances they would not come back, there was always the chance someone could die. And she didn't want it to be her son.

Space dust and a few spare pieces of metal floated into the depths of space. "Sir you've lost the signal, the intercept was a failure." A young man is looking at a radar.
"I know," A deep voice replies, only a shadowy figure is seen in the corner of the room. "I did not expect them to succeed, not when they were under the impression that the Starlight Falcon's weaponry would not function for more than a few seconds. They stayed waiting for the fire to die down and they died instead."
"Sir?"
"A few less to get in your way, but we'll eliminate the Startlight Falcon in the future, when they lose their usefulness."
xoxox xox xoxox
"Don't worry Yuki-chan I can keep you safe." Sure Gajaru was trying to be supportive and make Yuki feel safe, but he didn't realize he could be troublesome making it sound as if everything was perfectly safe.

Time seemed to move relatively slowly as Chaos half stumbled back into his room. He stopped at the door turned around and went to the kitchen where he got more milk and headed back to his original destination. He hadn't been gone long but he had been gone long enough and he knew he'd be in deep trouble with Catzuki. So, the milk was a peace offering. Plain, simple, and easy enough to figure out. He set it next to her and set Aya's on the night stand.
He said nothing.
-=-=-=-=-=
"It's not me I am worried about." She replied half-heartedly. But it was too late. Minoru was making plans about moving aboard and always being near his mom and hero.

Catzuki glared at Chaos and made a pouty face which could have looked cute to anyone who didn't know how temperamental she was. She glanced at Aya as if saying 'If you didn't get back before she woke up you would be in bigger trouble.' Catzuki could only picture Chaos in two ways, as an enemy, or as Aya's personal slave, and for Aya's sake she would rather picture him as the latter.
xoxox xox xoxox
"I'll keep Minoru safe too," Gojaru assured Yuki. But it didn't help that he kept saying yes to everything Minoru said. Well, why not? None of the things the boy requested bothered him, so rather than 'why', it was a thing of 'why not?'

Chaos did not ignore or, he tried not too. He simply chose to be passive when she was involved. For Aya's sake. The phrase repeated in his head multiple times before he went back to shufflign around the room as to keep himself busy.
-----
"See!" Minoru cheered, "When can I join?"
Clearly they were not listening to her, she gave a sigh. "If you get good grades on your report cards; I'll think about it."
This was a losing battle and this might be for the best anyways. Her face became saddened by her thoughts. She would have a lot of explaining to do.

Catzuki kept an eye on Aya, and at he same time watched Chaos from the corner of her golden eyes. The room better stay clean because in Catzuki's mind, a small particle of dust was enough of an excuse to accuse Chaos of not taking good enough care of Aya.
xoxox xox xoxox
"Cheer up Yuki-chan!" Gojaru noticed Yuki's change of expression. "Space travel can be good and..." he paused searching for the right words, "educational, yeah, it can be really educational." Though their job wasn't exactly a school field trip.
xoxox xox xoxox
A song started playing suddently in Aya's room. Catzuki pulled her communicator out of her pocket and nearly dropped it in her rush to make the loud device shut up. She looked at the name on the small screen, it was Mr. Dibu, she didn't want to be any noisier than she had already been so she went to take the call out in the hall.
"Hello?"
"Catzuki are you safe? What with the mercenaries, but don't worry I don't believe a word of it."
"What are you talking about?"
Mr. Dibu let out a breath of relieve, "well, if you don't know then that means they haven't been able to do much yet."
"More trouble makers I take it?" Catzuki asked.
"Yes, they've accused you of all sorts of crimes, I know you did some less than legal mercenary work in the past but these accusations are too much, I know the evidence was fabricated. We're trying to clear your name, in the mean time be very careful and pass on a warning to the captain. Hyper Quantum has declared the Starlight Falcon a traitorous ship, they also have accusations against the crew, everything from pirate work to murder, to terrorism. We'll be trying to clear that up too, but now they have the police investigating me too. Someone for some unknown reason is trying to get rid of the Startlight Falcon crew and both of us, it may have a connection with Hikimo's kidnappers, stay on your guard."
Catzuki's temper was at it's limit, "how dare they," she growled, "I'll get to the bottom of this!" She ended the communication. Pirate work? Yes, Catzuki was pretty sure that the crew of the Starlight Falcon had done some of that, but senseless murder an terrorism didn't seem likely. Someone was hindering her progress to get to Hakimo and she could now allow that.
first Catzuki peeked into Aya's room, wondering if her conversation had been overheard. She didn't want to talk to Gojaru but someone needed to give him the message just in case.

Yuki groaned, "Educational?" She wondered if he was even listneing to himself. But thankfully her mother appeared on screan.
"Oh Yuki, I'm sorry dear. Minoru's been such a handful." She glances at the boy who only shakes his head. "He's missed you so much."
"Its okay, mother." Yuki answers, "I've decided to bring him along..." if only to teach him its not all fun and games.
"Yuki, that is the worst idea you've ever had!" She looks back at Minoru. "And you've had some pretty bad ideas."
"Mother, it will be fine. We're safe." Yuki half argues. "The Captain believes it will educational." Her eyes dart to Gojaru then back to her mother. "I'll not argue with you about this."
-=-=-=-=
Chaos watched Catzuki nearly fumble. It was a curious thing. He pulled out his communicator before she came back and paged Gojaru, "Trouble might be headed your way." was all his message said.

"Yeah," Gojaru nodded. As far as learning how to hack electronic locks, avoid explosions and fire heavy artillery laser canons went, space travel was in fact very educational. Besides, the entire incident with Silvia could be classified as learning about animals and nature.
xoxox xox xoxox
After hovering at the door for a few moments Catzuki headed off to see Gojaru. She still saw him as somewhat incompetent so he needed all the warnings he could get.
xoxox xox xoxox
Gojaru's communicator beeped, he gave the message a quick glance and thought nothing of it at first. Trouble heading his way as something Gojaru was used to. Then it occured to him that this trouble could be something other than random space pirates, bounty hunters or galactic police, it could be a certain demon cat. That would be annoying.

She gave up ending the conversation with, "I'll pick up Minoru as soon as possible." And she hung up. On her mother. She was so filled with pride she stuck her tongue out at the screen to prove her point.
Looking over at Gojaru she noticed his annoyance, "I'm sorry, we're troublesome..."

"Not at all," Gojaru assured Yuki. "It's just that I got a message saying-"
"Captain Idiot!"
"That was coming," Gojaru finished.
Catzuki stood at the door, arms crossed, glare icy, "ever been in the murder and terrorism business?"
Gojaru expected more insults and complaints but not that questions, "have you?"
"If you have been then you didn't clean up well because Hyper Quantum is out to get you." and without waiting for a reply Catzuki left.
Though it would be convenient to know more about what Catzuki was talking about, Gojaru didn't feel like dealing with her, even though he had a feeling that her anger wasn't because of him at all, but rather because of the situation and he just happened to be there for her to take things out on him.
"I just thought of something, now that demon cat is tolerating Chaos for Aya's sake, she'll probably take all her complaints to me, grand," but then again he was the captain so in a way it was his duty to handle her complaints. "I don't think this entire terrorism and murder deal is about random property damage, a few explosion and bounty hunters no one really cares about." Because otherwise it would have been brought up sooner. "Sounds like there may be some false evidence involved," which was ironic because if they gathered evidence of illegal weapon and goods trading alone, to mention a random example, that would be enough. Gojaru found it odd that they would have to fabricate evidence, it told him that who ever wanted them out was in a hurry. Maybe they knew more than they realized, or the one behind the scenes thought they did. Hyper Quantum knew about most their record, their real record, though not all of it and it didn't make sense that they waited this long to do anything. "Anyway I'm sure it's nothing to worry about," despite giving the situation some thought, Gojaru was still Gojaru, the same cocky Gojaru.

It was a new scene but surely not a last that they would see it. Yuki stood unable to speak before Gojaru managed his normal response. "Do you ever worry about anything?" comes an inquiry she hadn't quite meant to ask. She changes the subject quickly, "Maybe Chaos will know something about the murder and terrorism?"

"I wouldn't be me if I did," Gojaru gave Yuki a thumbs up and smiled confidently. "Relax, whatever it is, I'm sure we can handle it. I'll ask Chaos about this. Starlight, you should also run a search for information and find the latest records about us."
"One step ahead of you, love. It seems that random crimes that had no suspects have been assigned to you, that's as far as I can track them. Without proof that you're innocent, since you're already guilty of so many other things, then they'll assume you're guilty too." The ship replied.
"That's just mean," Gojaru was taking it a little too lightly. "Space pirates and terrorists are two very different jobs." Though maybe the word job wasn't appropriate.

"In some cases," Yuki agreed, "They can be different. But in some instances, the pirates are spreading terror and creating disharmony." A slightly different perspective, "I'm not sure what's going on, but, Captain - I know everything will be alright. Let's just keep moving forward. I think our first goal is to save Mr. Dibu, we can worry about the terrorism as it comes."
She didn't wish he'd take this more seriously. If Gojaru worried then she would worry too. If he was calm then she could stay calm as well.
-=-=-=-= Aya shifted in her sleep with a content sigh. Her breathing seemed normal for the first time in a long time.
Chaos was happy(though it was hard to tell) about it. He brushed her hair from her face and got her another blanket to make sure she was warm enough. But he did not speak in fear of waking her up.

"Relax Yuki-chan, it's not like we were bothering anyone... too much. We just wanted to get rich quick, that's all." Gojaru decided to give it that interpretation and just let it go. "Right, we should still be on the right track."
"Go-love, we have an incoming message!" Starlight Falcon announced. "It's from Hyper Quantum Headquarters, want to her it?"
"Sure, let's see what they have to say."
Starlight played the message "Surrender!"
"That's it?" Gojaru blinked.
"Sorry honey, that's all I got," Startlight replied.
Gojaru paused in deep thought, it almost looked as if he was going to share a well thought out theory about the situation... almost. "They're after our price! I get it now, the bounty hunter,s the mercenaries, the space pirates and even other ships that work for Hyper Quantum are all after Dibu and the reward!"
xoxox xox xoxox
Catzuki looked in Aya's room and saw she was sleeping. She returned to her own room to make some calls without waking Aya.

Yuki let out heavy sigh. It seemed someone was always trying to kill them for whatever reason. But she knew they were doing no such thing as surrendering.
βI suppose I should head back to the Infirmary.β She paused thoughtfully, βIn case of battle.β Yuki gave a nod to reaffirm her decision even though he wanted to speak to her captain more.

"I guess so," but if Yuki went off to the infirmary that would leave Gojaru with nothing to do except his job. He was on one of his lazy moods and didn't quite feel like working, any excuse was good to procrastinate for a little longer. "I should go see how Silvia is doing," and he tagged along.
xoxox xox xoxox
Catsuki glared at her communicator as if blaming it for the lack of response to her calls. It's as if the crew of the Starlight Falcon had become public enemy number one. The computer beeped and Catzuki glanced at Cotton who curiosuly approched the keyboard. "Cotton, don't press the..." it was too late, the little mouse hopped on the keyboard causing a page to open up, a news page.
"I don't like the media," Catsuki moved Cotton away from the keyboard and petted him gently. "They're such liars..." but some of the links to articles caught her attention. "Catsuki, was she kidnapped or are the Dibus trying to get rid of the jinx... What's this? Starlight Falcon abandons it's allies, but the accomplices are still being chased by the Galaxy Police. Hakimo Dibu, did his heroes arrange the kidnapping?"
They were rumors, stupid rumors, but maybe among the lies there could be a clue. Catsuki had a feeling that thought she was one of the people in the center of the story, she might not know what it was all about after all.
