Amy hopped down onto the hanger floor, taking one last look at the KNS-Soburin before waving to the deckhand to log her arrival.
"Don't run any maintainance, the crew is going to wait for me here" she smiled, "Just visiting"
The deck hand nodded, disappearing up some stairs. Amy removed her gloves and made her way through the various shelves of guns and thruster-mounts to the elevator.
She keyed in her level and waited for the motion to stop.
Amy worked her way through the crew quarters, a group of crewmen saluting as she passed,
"Captain Michiba, Ma'am!"
She stopped at a particular room, number twenty four. She scanned her keycard, the door greeted her as Captain and clicked open.
Inside were a few rows of bunks, each with chests and lockers at their foot. Only one of the inhabitants was in, taking his break by reading a book on the bottom bed of his bunk. The illumination of his lamp the only thing lighting the room.
Katsumoto lay the book open facing down on the bed as he sat up and smiled at Amy. She closed the door behind her as she walked in.
"Konnichiwa Captain Michiba, is there anything you might require?"
Amy did not speak, she merely smiled back as she approached him silently, her smile now turning to what seemed to be a slight smurk. She pushed his chest knocking him on his back now lying down on the bed. She was but a dark angel amongst the darkness of the room and he could see her with the little illumination the lamp provided.
Katsumoto was confused, very confused, what was going on he did not know and attempted to speak as he lay on his back and she mounted over him.
"Ma'am, Wha..."
She placed her index finger over his lips as she bent forward from the hips and began to make out with him, he was uncertain of the situation but went along with it. There was something odd about the kiss, he felt what seemed to be a small bulge in his mouth and make itself down his throat, it was not merely her tongue. He attempted to push her off of him, but he was powerless, he could not even think straight and he could now clearly see everything in the room, as if it where illuminated by a bright fluorescent light. He attempted to move and wriggled about violently yet powerless and blacked out as voices entered his mind.
*** Stop moving and embrace ***
He lay still, almost dead to the eye and quite pale. She walked out towards the corridor where two guards patrolled her way.
"Men, bring me a stretcher from the medical ward immediately, a crew member has blacked out"
"Shall we carry hi...."
***No questions, follow orders ***
The two men heard the voice and did as it said, they quickly made their way towards the medical ward as Amy waited calmly at the door. Within a space of ten minutes the men arrived with a hovering stretcher.
"Hes inside, bring him out and onto it"
The men enterred grabbing Katsumoto by the underarms and legs and placing him gently on the stretcher, he did not budge and felt rather cold.
"Captain, is he ok? Whats wrong?"
"He blacked out but has already been treated in the medical ward" Amy replied.
"Where are you taking him? He seems unfit to be on your way to the hangar!"
She placed a hand upon each of the mens shoulders.
***Keep walking, forget***
The two soldiers seemed to take on puzzled looks yet continued down the hallway speaking to one another as if no one else was around. Amy continued to push the stretcher towards the elevator, pressed the button, it opened almost immediately and walked inside pulling Katsumoto and the stretcher in with her.
Amy arrived in the cargo area of the station, the whole place was filled with men organising and stacking crates.
They were all wearing Deep Space Engineering uniforms and badges, and were at work organising crates. Each one was neatly stacked and numbered, Gate Lane parts, Basic Alloys etc.
In one corner she saw a small Hogoshan woman, sitting on an unmarked crate, showing a business man some kind of trinket.
"Hey, I do know you! - Hogosha woman got up. - Don't you know..e-e-eh, Emi Ayane?" "Hai, - Amy nodded, - What are you doing here, Emi?" "Waiting for customer..- Emi looked into the window and sighed, - Quite boring here. Where's he? I'm getting bored.. "
Emi had put out some strange artifact, in form of pyramid.. She whispered: "And it's only.. 300 000 credits. Not so much"
Amy smiled.. "Dear, that's not money. Maybe.. 400 000 credits should do that?"
"No, client should be here soon.. Appologies, sister"
"Okay, I can take you more cash from.. Another place. Allright, 2 millions is fine?"
Emi broke her glass: "I-isn't t-that..T-Too much for one artifact?" "We'll use your service later, don't worry.." "Hai, deal then!" - Emi grinned and got up. "Let's go!" "Don't step in glass!"
Amy smiled and grabbed Emi's hand, pulling her down the corridor to the docking bay.
As Emi admired the KNS-Soburin, parked up and looking magnicicant at Dock one. Amy threw aside the Artifact and pinned Emi to the wall.
Before Emi could react or fight back, Amy's lips were locked with hers. Emi relaxed a little, giving in to the passionate kiss.
Soon enough she felt something was wrong though, that something in her mouth, wasn't a tongue. Amy released her embrace and held down her arms, forcing her kiss even harder, Emi tried to scream but the object moving down her throat held the scream down.
*** Relax ***
She felt a sharp pain, then the lights softened, and blurred with her vision. She felt heavy, and let Amy catch her as she fell.
Amy signalled to the gunnery crew of the Soburin to come assist her, and together they carried Emi onboard, placing her next to Katsumoto...
Amy and Oyitomi watched the DSE dock with the Jumpgate infront of them. From the helm of the KNS-Soburin she checked the scanners, them opened comms with her wingman.
"The DSE, kill them" she ordered,
Oyitomi froze, "But... Sensei..why?" he questioned,
*** Do it ***
"No questions" she replied, with her mind and tongue.
"Hai..." he responded, opening fire and tearing up the DSE transports with his Disinfectors.
It panicked, the escorts trying to save it, Amy shot them down as the transport burned up and collided with the edge of the gate, causing the food rations in it's hold to scatter.
"Good, let's move" she smiled, docking with the jumpgate.
"Arghh...Sensei...what happened?" he questioned again,
"Next time I give you an order, don't question it" she scolded, "Now follow me"
Heaven's Gate, Tohoku System
They both glided on through the dust cloud of Tokoku, emerging on the otherside to see the Arch, Heavens Gate in all it's glory.
"Land up, dock one is cleared for you" Amy ordered, docking herself.
He obeyed, docking and powering down his Chimaera.
"This is the Arch?" he questioned, admiring the grand interior of the structure...
"This is the Arch then Sensei? I thought....it was abandoned?" - Oyitomi asked in wonder as well as in fear of the mighty and legendary structure.
"Hai Oyitomi!" - Amy replied and a smile could be heard in her words, a giggle, "Fear not, they mean you no harm." - She said almost as if she knew fear was darkening Oyitomi's head.
"But....Sensei...who are they?"
"Come, come Oyitomi, land and you will see." - Again a loud yet silent chuckle could be heard over the communication system.
"Hai Sensei! As you wish!"
As Oyitomi was flying into the Arch's landing bays, just behind the KNS-Soburin, almost as he was scared and hiding behind Amy's vessel. The fear of the unknown, but yet he felt as he was home somehow.
But soon his eyes and attention were seized by the amazing and breathtaking interior of the Heaven's Gate. There were stories about its beauty, but seeing it filled Oyitomi's heart with warmth, and pride. The landing bay entrance closed behind them as they entered the structure completely. And a purple light filled the landing bay, as the KNS-Soburin began its landing sequence.
Following Amy's steps, Oyitomi began landing his Chimaera on one of the pads, all was prepared for their arrival it seemed. He sat in his cockpit for a while, still admiring the interior of the Arch, watching people...
"Come Oyitomi." - A voice was heard, Amy's voice, a calm and sweet voice, always filled with laughter and playfulness.
"Hai Sensei, I am on my way." - He responded and rushed toward the back of his ship, and opened the blast doors of his Chimaera.
As the doors were opening, he continued to look, and admire the Arch.
"Even more beautiful then the stories say!"
The door opened, and Amy was standing in front of him. With a gentle, but provocative smile at the same time. Her eyes sparkled with fire, and passion. Oyitomi would follow here anywhere.
"Come Oyitomi! You have much to see!" - Amy said to him and ran toward him, grabbing his hand and pulling him. At first they walked, but then Amy started to run, with small, girly steps. She moved so innocently, and yet determinately.
As they run off the landing pads, Oyitomi was greeting the people there with happiness.
"Konnichiwa!", "Konnichiwa!" - But no response came.
The two ran into some corridor, turned left and entered a room, a beautifully decorated room, but with nothing in it. The walls were painted in an old traditional Kusari paintings. And the same purple light was shining, the same as in the landing bay.
Amy stopped as they reached the center of the room, and bowed to catch her breath.
"Sensei, are you all right?" - Oyitomi asked Amy as he was helping her to catch her breath. He embraced her with his hands and lifted her up.
She looked him in his eyes, a deep and passionate look.
"Please, its Amy." - She said that to him, without blinking, and continued to look him deeply.
"Hai Sen... Amy." - He responded, with a dose of blemish in his voice, and eyes.
He tried to move his sight elsewhere, but couldn't. Amy was looking him without blinking, a romantic expression on her face, and the same smile that she always had. Oyitomi smiled as well, realizing that they are connected somehow. Suddenly Amy closed her eyes, and leaned toward him, spreading her lips slowly, the beautiful red lips. Oyitomi closed his eyes, and waited for the kiss to happen. A warm feeling filled Oyitomi's heart, as he felt love, passion, and connection to Amy. They kissed, and Amy threw herself into his arms. The kiss lasted for a few seconds. Amy pulled him closer, her grip was strong, quite strong for such an innocent and gentle girl. Suddenly she opened her eyes, a smile could be seen in them. Oyitomi looked her back, and although their lips were merged, she spoke to him. Relax, she said. He relaxed his body, with his own will, but also a part of him was unable to resist it. Her grip tightened even more, and Amy's eyes began glowing with a blue light, the smile that could be seen in them always, was gone.
***Relax Oyitomi, this is what was meant to happen***
He could hear her voice in his head, and he couldn't, and didn't want to resist. He again closed his eyes.
The kiss became more vigorous, their lips were sealed together, and Amy's tongue went deeper and deeper into his mouth. Something was changing.
His entire body relaxed as he slowly lost conciousness, Amy caught him as he fell, laying him on the floor. Without her having to speak, a troupe of men arrived and picked him up, carrying him off.
Amy smiled curiously, and moved back to the corridor, stepping into another room, this one housing Rin Masaki.
The Chrysanthemum, sitting in a chair at a table, smiling nervously and twiddling her thumbs. Amy closed the door behind her...
"Konichiwa Sister, were they able to catch you too? They wont get any informations out of me, but..." Rins smile vanished, and she became thoughtful "You are one of them, you have to be, otherwise you wouldnt be able to walk around here."
Amy took place on the chair opposite to Rin, "Oh look Rin we dont want to harm you, we dont want your informations."
***What we want, is you***
"These voices again, make them stop!" "We will, dont move now, or it may hurt..."
While she said this, Amy bend over the table and looked into Rins eyes, which showed some fear.
Amy leaned across and took Rin's hands, comforting her with a sweet smile. A sparkle in her eyes as she drew closer, he lips inches from Rin's own.
Their lips touched, gently so. Rin felt warm and complete, not resisting the kiss in the slightest. Amy's hand brushing Rin's hair, caressing her neck.
Amy tightened her grip, and pushed forward, Rin's eyes widened as she felt something in her throat. She tried to resist then relaxed as her body felt heavy.
The lights in the room flared then dimmed, blurring together. Rin's body was numb as Amy caught her, laying her down on the floor for collection.
