Disclaimer: I don’t own Vandread I just own my character. And I thank Mage-of-souls forthe help onthe other character.

Duero says, “Well at least she is alive.”

The Captain says, “She was going insanely fast, just keep an eye on her condition.”

The vid window closes and Duero turns to her and says, “Well I see that you are awake.”

Her eyes snap open and she asks, “Where is Kagen I heard that he needed my help.”

Paiway suddenly shouts to Duero, “Duero he is bleeding and I can’t stop it!”

Duero says as he goes over to where Paiway is, “This isn’t good at all. Now he needs that blood transfusion and we still don’t have a donor.”

The girl says, “He needs blood? Can’t I give him some of mine? Here is my ID card.” She tosses Duero the card as he returns to his computer.

“Damn it I can’t get it to work. Parfait could you hack this card for me?” The peksis glows in the back ground and the file suddenly opens.

“Never mind, it opened for me. Yes, this will work out nicely. Ok paiway you draw the blood from… What’s your name by the way?”

The girl responds, “It is Camina Vivan.” Duero says, “Hmm, ok well Paiway you draw the blood from Mina here and I’ll stop his bleeding.”

Camina says, “It is not Mina it is Camina!”

After the transfusion

Camina wakes up and looks at Kagen. “He really isn’t a kid anymore.” She starts to cry.

Kagen sits up breaking the restraints, hugs her and says, “It is ok, I’m here now. Cry away.” She sits there and cries herself to sleep in his arms. Meanwhile Kagen goes through a flashback dream.

“Oh, he is so cute!” Camina says to someone. Kagen’s eyes open and he sees Camina, then he turns and sees his parents.

They say, “So you will keep an eye on him?”

Camina says, “I’ll protect him with my life. On my honor as a Dread pilot.”

Kagen then wakes up and sees Camina in his arms he tries to move but finds that he can’t for the pain. Duero wakes up because he hears Kagen’s heart monitor go crazy. So he gets up to check on Kagen and finds him holding Camina.

He raises an eyebrow and says, “Is there something between you two?”

Kagen says, “How should I know? I woke up like this and I can’t move without intense pain.”

Duero says, “Well at least you are awake. I can take care of the pain now that you are conscious. It looks like this excessive heart pumping is benefiting your body by producing more blood from your bone marrow. Maybe I should leave you like that.”

Kagen says, “No please I don’t want to be this close when she wakes up hungry.” Duero laughs and says, “I’ve been living with women for at least a year now and I haven’t been eaten yet. And I think that she cares for you a lot considering I heard that when she woke up from cryosleep she immediately asked for you.”

Now Kagen is confused and says, “She asked for me? I wonder why? She does look familiar. Who is she?”

Duero says, “Well she did say her name is Camina.”

Kagen says, “Hmm, I’ve heard this name before. Ow! Could you please take care of the pain?” Duero immediately gives Kagen the pain killer.

Kagen says, “Thanks.” Then he falls asleep with his head on her shoulder. (He didn’t have time to move)

Duero says, “I guess the pain was all that was keeping him awake. I had better check in with the Captain.”

Duero opens a comm. window to the Captain and says, “Well both patients are stable and Kagen woke up today. Duero out.”

He closes the comm. window and Parfait walks in and drags Duero over to her room. Duero is so tired that he can’t resist her.

Hibiki is asleep in the cafeteria with Dita across from him. The only people that are awake are the few people that run the night crew. Suddenly the Nirvana is hit by some beam and it can’t move and the Dread bay is sealed shut by some crystalline structure. The whole ship goes on red alert as the Captain asks Gascoigne, “Can we use the old Dreads in the hidden bay on the Nirvana?”

Gascoigne says, “I think so but it will take a while for the pilots to relearn the dread systems.”

The Captain asks, “What else can launch?”

Gascoigne says, “The two Vanguards and the Dreads that are in that bay.”

The Captain says, “Well, launch all that we can!”

Gascoigne says, “Yes Ma’am.” She opens a ship wide comm. and says, “Launching all Dreads and Vanguards. Pilots please report to your vehicles. All Reg crew report to the secondary launching bay. All regular Dread pilots report to the Dread bay in the men’s side.” Kagen and Camina hear this and immediately run to their respective vehicles despite Duero’s protests about neither being fit enough to fly.

Kagen says, “Kagen launching.”

Camina says, “Camina launching. I would like Set C with no extras.

Gascoigne says, “You know what that is? It is homing missiles and bombs plus a penetration package.”

Camina says, “I knew that. So just put it on and launch me already.”

Gascoigne says, “Ok, launching Camina!” By the time Camina gets out there Kagen and Hibiki have quite decimated the cubes (despite the cubes being smarter and faster) and now Camina is shooting straight at Kagen and can’t stop.

Camina says, “Ahh! I can’t control it! It is acting on its own!” There is a big flash and now there is a Vandread that sorta looks like Vandread Dita but is Green and is faster plus it has a sword. Camina after she realizes that she is sitting in Kagen’s lap and holding his hand says, “Wow this is awkward.” Then she blushes profusely.

Kagen says, “What just happened? Why are you on my lap? And why are you taking time to blush in battle? We have to figure the controls out and fast!” Then all of a sudden they know how to pilot it and they use the cannons to eliminate the rest of the enemies.

Kagen says, “Ok now for the flagship.” Hibiki and Dita combine in to Vandread Dita and pull alongside.

Hibiki and Dita both say, “We’ll help.”

Kagen says, “There!” and shoots his cannons which disable the cloaking device on the flagship. “Gotcha. Hibiki lets finish it together, one blast from each of us should destroy it.”

Hibiki says, “Ok lets do it.” Both Vandreads charge up their cannons and fire on the non moving ship blowing a huge hole thru the ship’s reactor. Gascoigne says, “I’ll get the enemy ship’s database. You guys get back to the ship Duero is very concerned.”

Why is no one reviewing? Why! I need opinions! The funny stuff is coming I promise. The romance is just beginning.
