Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Walking around on the main deck a group of special black ops members quietly surveyed the situation quickly trying to make sure it was clean of threat before they ‘let their guard down’ if they knew how to do that. The captain was an older seasoned and hardened soldier that has seen much that nothing really surprises him much anymore. He is probably late forties early fifties and still way too much gumption to retire any time soon. He was particularly fond of his small crew, he hand picked each and everyone of them proud to be serving with and commanding them.

Capt himself wasn’t the nicest guy by far, but he just really didn’t know how to show emotions. He was a military brat fifth generation on both sides. He was raised with strict discipline and ‘little’ compassion. He was shown love and compassion but you knew they cared, you didn’t hear it you…just knew. To hear ‘I’m proud of you’ was a shining moment in his life, he heard it twice from each parent and did he ever fill with pride that he could do right by them. Over the years he saw a lot of bad things, lost a lot of good men and so he really didn’t have much of a friendly outlook but still upheld his honor and compassion that his parents showed him.

Crow he was particularly happy with since he himself didn’t really like heights, Crow would take those and have an insane laugh while he was doing his job. Capt found him on one of his missions down in the sewer looking miserable. The military, in all their wisdom, thought that he would be best suited for water contamination and testing. Capt quickly talked to his superiors and somehow pulled Crow from the belly of s**t to the top of everything tall that he could find for the poor guy. That was his way of being sweet to one of his teammates. He watched Crow blossom into such an amazing soldier, he was no sniper, but put him up high and he could lay a blanket of lead down easily taking his target out...eventually.

Where he had Crow for the upper things, he had Mole for the lower things and all the tekky things. Mole was the best in his field but he wanted more combat hours. Unfortunately for him he was really good at what he did, so they didn’t want to risk his brain for some brawn time. They would deny his transfer papers for this reason or that. Again Capt found a way to get the guy on his team, promising them that he would hold back in whatever transportation they took to do his technological stuff and so he didn’t get hurt. The minute, no, second he walked out of the General’s office he forgot the orders and smiled as he was going to give a guy that played too many war games a gun. He’s betting that Mole is going to be very accurate with his shots. He was right, he was very happy to have a guy that could work on techno crap and shoot a gun.

Not all of his team was a mercy find. Cave Troll, or just Troll has been on his team probably the longest. He still doesn’t know how this huge meat shield makes it through with all the bullets he takes, but he’s not complaining. When they can’t get into something, they usually send in Troll to bully his way through, In fact there were many times that they just follow him in as if he was parting the red sea, with bullets. He’s massive, meaner then a pit bull, tougher then anything Capt has seen and probably the best scout. The man, in all his massiveness, was: silent, cold, calculating, ever thinking. It was now a game to try and listen for Troll walking around. No one has won yet.

Fuse was so aptly named that most people didn’t hang around him other then Troll. He was always working on the perfect bomb, mixing this or that and testing TINY versions of them to see how they would work. Troll usually got entertainment with what got blown up this time, blow up doll, Chihuahua, what they thought was moving dinner, the Captain’s shoes, underwear that was questionable, and many many more things. Fuse joined up two years after Troll and has held onto his position tightly with his sheer knowledge of explosives, he was phenomenal with a gun, but his explosives were second to none. The Capt swore that the explosives respected and had a healthy fear of him like man does of wild animals.

Finally there was Scalpel, their medic, he was absolutely amazing and the newest one of the team. You could need stitches and this medical MacGyver could fix you up with the minimum of supplies that one could think of. He was born to a long line of nurses, alternative medicinal healers, and doctors so he was a bon-a-fied genius of making do with what he had and doing such good with it. He could do or cure anything, hands down no questions asked…but he couldn’t shoot the broad side of a barn. In fact he has to aim at other things to hit the target he’s that bad of a shot. His famous words is “I just mend them, not hurt them.”

They weren’t happy with the three add-ons on this mission, but couldn’t say anything as it was orders of the General. They couldn’t figure them out, what they were there for and why they even cared for this ship. However, they weren’t complaining too hard with the girl as she was pretty hot and very quiet, if they only knew why. The ribbon around her tiny neck was cute too, made her look innocent. Fuse and the other Asian were immediately bunting heads, and having stare downs with lightning between their eyes. They just thought it was an Asian thing as Fuse was Japanese by blood. Duo and Adara would just calm the Chinese one down while Troll just gave Fuse a small whap to the head and a “focus” from the Captain. Eventually they begrudgingly tolerated each other, in fact they even have help each other do things. Adara would silently laugh at this. They loved how quiet she was and she wasn’t babbling about the latest hot guy in her life.

Wu Fei, Duo, Adara broke off from the team and set up in a private quarters, probably the Captain of the ship’s bedchambers. “How you doing Adara?” she hesitated but kept working “Not so good huh?” Duo walked over and put his arm around her and hugged her tightly, they were side to side as she could turn in or away from him as she needed to. Silently crying she turned in and Wu Fei came over and held Duo, Adara’s back to him, tightly so she was getting love from both sides. “Its okay, Adara, he’ll be fine.” he quietly talked to her, wanting to encourage her, to support her. Duo kissed the top of her head, he didn’t know what he would be like in her situation, what with this being her brother’s vessel and everyone presumed dead. He frowned at Wu Fei like they shouldn’t have came. ‘Too late now’ was mouthed back at him. Nodding the two just comforted her till she wiggled for freedom.

Wiping her eyes, they still found it funny that she has her make-up tattooed on, but could see why now. That and they were happy that it wasn’t all over their clothes. She smiled and gave them the thumbs up but quickly frowned “What is it Dar?” touching her throat they knew that there was possibly something on the ship, or that the engine room was being worked on so there was a surge of energy. She rubbed her neck when she didn’t feel it any more and nodded ‘I think it was just a small surge, its gone’ she got out to them. ‘it was just a brief POW, then was gone faster then it came.’ she nodded. “Oh got it. Okay then, lets get set up and get started…uh, Dar? Wipe your nose, you look 2.” Embarrassed she covered her nose and ran off, that was a bad thing of crying, sometimes her nose would run where she didn’t realize it.

Eventually walking off in different directions the three got to work Wu Fei on his EVP machine, Duo on the heat sensor, and Adara was just being her and walking around. Wu Fei took the lowest levels first, Duo middle and Adara was on the deck. Walking around, the sea air slapping her lightly in the face with her own hair she just sighed silently to herself. ‘How did this happen…’ she quietly thought to herself, it was such a whirlwind of things that she just dizzily wandered after Wu Fei hoping to do good by him. Now, however, now she had time to think back, to remember what happened that she ended up on her brother’s ship.

Tight lipped as usual Adara had an assignment. She was a paranormal investigator...well junior paranormal investigator but one none the less. She never spoke to anyone about her job or anyone for that matter as she had no voice box. She had cancer but beat it with the loss of her box and refused a tracheotomy. She didn't want a computer voice, too much pride, scared of them, hated them whatever it was she refused. She wasn't getting the whole sign language thing at all but she was one hell-ova charades girl. She could be doing charades and telling Lord of the Rings accurately. However, the things she really couldn't do were stationary things like log, rock, or anything of that nature without taking a few sentences to explain it. She has death down pat as she just points to the massive scar going horizontal across the middle of her neck.

Adara had a gift since child, she could see, talk and touch the dead as if they were the living. However, she couldn't vanquish, she was learning it slowly and could do the little good spirits that WANTED to go to the other side. However, anything that had a slight will, hang it up, they kicked her a** with no problem. Smiling at her mentor, Wu Fei, who was a seasoned hunter she rubbed his back, feeling the ribbing of his sweater that she bought him. She loved the knitted shirt on him, he looked rather good she thought, so did Wu Fei’s boyfriend and their camera guy, Duo. The three has been together since Adara was very young and following her brother everywhere.

Her brother. That was always a touchy situation, depending on her mood depended on what reaction she would give. She would be proud of him and defend him for 'running off to the military when the family needed him'. She knew he sacrificed himself to the Navy and sent most of his checks home so they didn't starve, or had clothes. She saw the checks, she saw the notes of him trying to encourage the parents. She wasn't stupid she knew that he was doing this all for the family, but still didn't make it right that he had to give up his teen and early twenties for them. Mom and Dad were working two jobs each and it wasn't making ends meet, the economy sucked, they weren't educated, and took what was given to them. Adara 99% of the time was home alone.

The other side to that coin she hated him for going when she needed him the most. She needed his shoulder to cry on, his hugs, his laughter, his smile and warm embrace. She hated him that he never said goodbye, she didn't know that if he would have seen her cry he wouldn't have gone, he never looked back he just did. Signing up for one of the highest paying, Boring but highest paying. Unfortunately he's never really had the time to go home and visit in his 8 years of service. Twenty-five now he was a strapping young man with black hair and red eyes that glowed when the warning red lights went off. She loved his look, even when she was mad at him. Sadly she had a bad fit with the cancer and didn't tell him a word, he still doesn't know the sweet sound of his sister was lost forever, and he LOVED when she sang to him.

Dressed in a chunky turtle neck ribbed sweater herself with tight tight cute trousers on over her combat boots, she kept up with the two taller men with ease. She was a half of a head shorter then them but made up for that in stride. She learned better, They've left her before. She looked at the two men, one in a knit ribbed sweater and black op style pants, the other in a maroonish color rugby style shirt a few too many sizes too little with distressed random numbers on the back and ripped up tight jeans that flared around his boots lightly. She really thought he looked athletic and very hot. If they weren't taken with each other she would definitely flirt with them, gay or not. We don’t need to mention that her eyes glue to the a** end of them every time they walk. Like clock work they stop and she stops also, implanted in the back of them. Duo couldn’t help but snicker as she clicked at them a couple times saying she was sorry, she usually clicked her tongue at them as if it was speech.

“Is everything okay, Mr. Maxwell?” A stern voice chipped at the wilder boy. “I’m not in the military, don’t treat me like I am. I really don’t care about you or your mission other then it has something for us.” Duo took on the Captain who was surprised at the action but let them in to see the General. In briefing Adara’s face dropped and her islander tan went sheet white. The boat that Shu Yin, her brother, was on is now a ghost ship. Everything went black, that’s when the whirl wind happened.

Shaking her head she quickly turned hearing something and saw the biggest man of the group again. She just stood there vulnerable to attacks, passive and a bit scared of him. “Whoa, its okay…” he held his hands up to show she was okay. “Did you hear me?” She slowly nodded “Really? You’re the first. Are you okay?” She nodded “Your kinda quiet aren’t you?” She shrugged which just made him smile and walk up to her, who backed up a bit. “I’m not going to hurt you…” Like in every war situation he was in he pulled his breast pocket open and pulled out a chocolate bar and handed it to her. “Makes everything better, I say.” she smiled and opened it taking half then handed back to him. “sharing?” She nodded “Thanks, that’s nice of you.” there was a com that she couldn’t hear ‘if your done trying to get in her pants you know there is work to do.’ It was Fuse teasing Troll seeing the whole thing and laughed when he got the finger nonchalantly. “So…you come here often?” she stopped chewing and looked at him like ‘da ********?’ slowly shaking her head no she walked off to another part of the boat. ‘Smooth, this is why we don’t call you Romeo.’ Fuse just shook his head at Troll that was chastising himself for the horrible pickup line as he walked off. Adara was laughing about it around the corner as she thought it was rather comical and cute after the fact.


Fuse came down and smiled at her “You had fun?” She nodded “Your so weird.” he opened his mouth but shut it and pushed against the thing in his ear to hear better. Touching his arm she was trying to understand. He held up a hand as if to say, hold on, and listened. “They found the crew, only three survivors.” She grabbed and ripped at his sleeve, chocolate being thrown over the side of the boat, poor shark died of chocolate poisoning. Heero put both hands up defensively “alright alright you can go” not realizing she wasn’t making a peep as her lips were flapping hysterically. Turning he walked quickly off with her ‘this is why I’m so gay and don’t like flaming gay guys.’ he thought. Quickly taking her off she ran in to see the survivors were the engine tech, the cook and Shu Yin the navigator. Adara ran to Shu and wrapped her arms around him, he ‘oofed’ as she hit against him. “careful, he just woke up from being out.” Scalpel warned. Leaning back she looked deep in his eyes “No I’m okay…wow…you…have changed….” pushing her back he looked at his fully developed sister. He was wondering now if it was a good thing to be at sea away from her or should he go home to keep the guys off of her.

“Can you fix the boat’s engine?” The Captain asked the engineer “I should be able to” “Take Mole, he should be able to help you.” “Aye Aye.” the two walk off down to start fixing the leaks in the pressure pipes, electrical fuses, and whatever other problems arise. “the rest of you, help bring the bodies down to the cargo hold so Scalpel can figure out what happened to these people. Adara looked down and nearly freaked out as there were bodies everywhere. Shu Yin started to take her off but she stopped him ‘swastika’ she mouthed out as if she was thinking to herself, but her brother shuffled her off before she could be found out.

Piling the dead bodies on Fuses shoulders then his own Troll was still mad at himself. “Relax man, she was laughing about it later.” “Really?” “Yeah, she was amused you used such a horrible line on her, I think. I don’t know she was eating your chocolate till I got word, then some fish is now probably dead.” He was happy she enjoyed the chocolate he gave her. “your sick Trowa” breaking their code names and just talking to his best friend. “How so?” “You have such a weird look in your eye and I know what your thinking.” “I….yeah I’m sick, puppy love sick” “Okay that was worse then the stupid ‘you come here often?’” in a mocking voice then they laughed “Hey Scalpel, your first victims.” Setting down the bodies “They were actually strewed out in a swastika formation.” Fuse quipped. “How fashionable.” Scalpel rolled his eyes “10 bucks says it’s a disgruntled sergeant that wants to be Lieutenant.” “Your on” and the two left.

“Adara what are you…never mind I don’t want to know why you’re here…just don’t touch anything.” She just looked at him as that was the first thing he really said to her and there wasn’t ‘I missed you, how are the folks, or I’m glad to see you.’ she turned and walked away from him touching everything on her way out then as she rounded a corner the bird was flung at him. “Hey!” he went after her but Capt stepped in the way. “I got a question for you.” “Yes sir…” he went and sat down on a bench. Capt stepped in and sat down with a small groan “Not as young as I used to be.” Which got Shu to smile and half chuckle. “So what happened here sailor. Sighing Shu rubbed his face with his hands then raked his fingers through his hair letting out a big breath of air. “We just sat down for some food, we could hear the ‘Ace of Spades’ being tortured in the next room for intel, he wasn’t going to break and when his voice finally cut out because his body couldn’t take it, all hell broke loose.” And all the blood splatters everywhere?” “I just remember that all hell broke loose, people were being slaughtered and nothing.” “Slaughtered by whom?” “I don’t know sir.”

Duo met up with Wu Fei “I haven’t found any signs of activities…” whispering to his lover “Neither have I and its bothering me as I have a feeling that Adara’s quip wasn’t just a surge in the engine, specially since they were talking to the guy about fixing it after we saw her touch her neck.” “I’ll go down below?” “Y…where’s Adara?” they walked off quickly trying to find her but held onto the walls as there was a small jerk forwards from the engine coming on line. “Wow Slap, you made this thing purr like a Ferrari.” “Ferrari? Ha! This is 100% American made my friend…lets go see what Cookie has for dinner.” As they walked “Why are all cooks called Cookie?” “Would you rather we call him ham steak?” “Good point walking off.”

Fuse walked down to see Scalpel holding up a large hanging hook about the size of the guy’s head and about 10 links of chain “Um, aren’t you supposed to be doing good not mutilating the body worse?” “Ha ha, very funny, I pulled this out of his tummy.” “His tummy? How old are you like 2.” Scalpel smiled “Your right, I just got done talking to Adara, she was saying she was sick to her tummy, trying to be cute I think.” “Ah, poor thing you picked it up from her.” “Probably. Anyways it seems to me that this is an opportune killer. Just one of them on top of that I couldn’t find evidence that there were multiples. He kills with whatever is around or in your hand, that’s why when I meet up with him I am holding a very small very soft pillow.” With a smile. Fuse looked over the body then blinked “She talked to you? Troll was hitting on her with his ‘you come here often’” that got the doctor to laugh “and she wouldn’t talk to him, I have got to rub this in his face!” Starting to head out “Wait!” Heero came back a bit worried of what he was going to say “Now that you mention it, no…no she wasn’t talking to me, she was gesturing….” He looked over at Heero. “Well I’m hungry.” Fuse piped up “I’m going for some steak,” “I’m right behind you” Stripping out of his bloody coat and gloves and hurried behind his team member.

Shu Yin finally found Adara, as Duo’s stomach brought the two of them to the galley. “Why the hell did you flip me off!” She just started walking away again. She didn’t want her first time seeing her brother to be a fight, but he grabbed her arm. “Oh no you don’t, I’m talking to you. I am over here working my a** off to send you guys money, your going to talk to me, brat.” She turned around on a dime and smacked him, storming off she went to the galley. She was about to sit and eat when he caught her again “Why won’t you talk to me! Your just making me regret that I even left to help you out.” Turning around with malice in her eyes, her hands flew up behind her neck. In front of the whole crew she ripped off the ribbon and pointed to the dark scar ‘I CAN’T TALK YOU a*****e I HAVE NO VOICEBOX, I HAD CANCER AND LOST IT!’ she mouthed out and walked into the kitchen away from her stunned brother. He had no idea. It all made sense to him now, as he deflatedly sat down not realizing there were a few tears streaming down his right cheek. Captain quietly handed him a napkin “you have dust in your eye…” he immediately got up and went in the kitchen, kicking Cookie out.

Turning Adara around his heart shattered as she was wailing like a Banshee but no sound was coming out. “Oh god Adara, I didn’t know I’m so sorry.” Feeling like s**t he held her so close to him, so tightly. “I’m sorry baby…” he cried with her “and my greeting sucked…I’m sorry, I guess I really didn’t know what to say…” he just held her till she wiggled to be free. Looking at her neck he lightly slid his finger across the scar. “hey, at least it’s a wicked scar.” smiling weakly she nodded and they chattered a bit trying to catch up on a bit of the old times before he led his sister back out. “Sorry guys that you had to see that.” Shu Yin looked like he never cried as Adara was still cleaning up. “Sorry Cookie.” “S’ok” he went back in to finish the tiramisu.

As he hummed to himself he heard a noise. “Hm?” He set the desert down and started walking off “Who’s there?” he picked up a spatula figuring it was someone playing a trick on him so he wanted to smack them, not kill them. It made another noise in the small barracks “Shu Yin is that you?” quietly as he walked in but jumped and turned when he heard the door slam shut. “Wha!” he blinked “oh god…” backing up as he watched the lock shut when no one was there, then someone formed up “You know, I’m claustrophobic so if you could back up I’d appreciate it…” a scream made the team jump up and run out trying to pinpoint it with Shu Yin and the paranormal investigators hot on his heels. They looked everywhere but when the barrack door slightly opened Shu Yin went straight for it. Walking in he stopped as his heart stropped, Cookie was dead, the ‘teasing’ spatula’s handle through the guy’s left eye. When they saw him everyone came, looked then put a hand on his shoulder. Captain reached in and shut the door. “Come on….” gently pushing Shu Yin off for air.

The three started looking harder now as there was something here, Adara’s small neck problem was accurate as the whole group was there and they figured Cookie wouldn’t off himself. He just didn’t seem the type as he enjoyed his job way too much. Adara went down in the hull, looking around, she had an awful feeling and was trying to find it. However, it didn’t want to be found out. Yet, it was willing to give her his newest toy. Crow, when she got to a certain point a body dropped on her, bloodied from battle, but his head was on backwards. She laid under the body screaming her lungs out but no sound came. She tried to get it off of her but she simply was too weak. Smacking her hand on the grate she was making a lot of noise that was enough for Troll to come running. “Jesus, Adara!” he came over and got Crow off of her with one hand, and picked her up with the other. “Whoa, you okay?” She cried in his chest as he held her close. Touching her hair he retracted his hand and saw blood. Rubbing her head, he made sure none of it was hers, when he was satisfied “Come on, lets get you a shower to clean up…”


Walking her off he found a bathroom and checked it “Clear, your safe now…” She was trying to get undressed but was shaking so badly Troll was sure she was going to stab herself with her own finger. “Come on…” he bent down and undid her boots. Slowly and calmly undressing her he made sure she was okay with what he was doing. He couldn’t complain, he was checking her out big time and was going to have wonderful dreams tonight, but he was more concerned for her psyche. He started the shower and she jumped in, the water ran red for a while till she was out and barely in a towel before she was hugging him again.

Slowly they were being picked off. First was Cookie, then Crow, Slap was killed with a wrench, Scalpel was taken out with a bone saw, and Mole was electrocuted. Captain got pissed and cornered Wu Fei. “WHAT WAS YOUR GUY’S MISSION HERE!” “We were just to come and make sure it wasn’t anything abnormal.” “I think it’s a bit beyond abnormal!” “Yeah well we’re not getting anything!” the Capt had a few more choice words for him but walked off. Duo just looked at Wu Fei who just shook his head. “its okay, he has the right to be upset…he’s loosing his team.”

Trowa took Adara to her brother and explained what happened, “s**t is now beyond hitting the fan. Take her, I’m going to find out what’s going on” Gently shoving Adara into Shu’s arms Trowa walked off but stopped when Shu called out to him “She says be careful” Looking back and giving a small two finger salute he smirked “You just stay cute.” as he turned and walked off. Shu Yin looked down at her “What is he talking about? Where’s your sweater. Adara there is a terrorist or something on here, and your….” She held up her hands and ‘explained’ what Trowa was talking about. “What do you mean I have no right to get defensive, I have every right, I’m your brother and…” quieting down when she was silently snickering “I so walked into that balls first…you’re the type to ruffle feathers. Got it.” He smirked and hugged her tightly “oi I should have known. You had projectile puke when you were a baby, always gunning for me.”

“Captain, in all the years I’ve been working with and under you I’ve never questioned you, I am now questioning you. What the HELL is going on here?” Trowa was very upset, he didn’t even realize that he was in an old war museum. “You know this was a boat that caught up with some of the worst Nazi criminals and brought them to justice?” “What?” “These things washed up on shore.” He brought out a box of artifacts “What does that have to do with anything” “Nothing, its just if you keep rambling like that, which is completely out of your natural characteristics, you will loose your head…” Trowa stopped and thought his Captain was nuts but calmed and looked through the stuff. “Here you want one?” Smirking pulling two German cigarettes, smirking Trowa took it. They smoked up and coughed as it was horrible compared to what they were used to.

“Son of a b***h…” The Capt pulled out a picture. “Who is that?” “Who?” looking a bit shocked at Troll “You mean what.” Continuing when he got an odd look “It is human for the most part. When he was born he was tortured, starved, broken the molded into the perfect machine of war. He was given all the secrets knowing he wasn’t going to talk. Well once he got on” handing the picture over to Troll who was surprised on how tall the guy was. Troll would probably be looking at the guy straight in the eyes if he stood tall and looked straight ahead of himself. However, where Troll was strong and bulky this guy was lean, but Troll could easily out match him as he himself was extremely agile. “the boat the Americans were torturing him and it was said that he actually said ‘you do not want to know what I can do’ and after that it gets fuzzy.” “Fuzzy?” “Some say he died, some said he broke free and killed everyone, some said that during one of the electric shock he somehow directed it to kill someone else. No one really knows what happened for sure.”

Walking off Capt found Wu Fei and sat him down. “I’m a reasonable man normally” sitting down in front of him “But not when my team is being picked off and we are a damn fine team. So tell me what is going on or I’m going to shoot Duo in the head.” Pulling an unconscious Duo out from under the bunk. Wu Fei’s eyes went wide but he didn’t move as there was a gun, cocked and trained on his boyfriend. “Fine just take that off of him” Clicking it was empty but changed the clip before Wu Fei’s eyes so he knew that that was the only warning shot he was getting.



Sighing Wu Fei adjusted on the bed and nodded “I suppose you know who was transported on this ship at one time.” “Aye.” “And I suppose you know who he really was and used for.” “Aye.” “Well there was more to him….much much more…

“I can’t believe he is following our orders so well and not causing trouble.” A skipper looked at the Admiral of the ship “Why would he? He knows he’s captured and thinks he’s going to be treated well since we’re Americans.” “He’s not?” “Hardly, they are going to find out what he knows one way or another.” The guy walked by the control room where the two stood. “Sir he’s so big, is he part of the breeding program?” “No he was right before it, however, I suspect that if he hadn’t shown this talent then I’m sure he would have sired many many children for that program as Hitler would be proud of his appearance.”

When taken down below he was shocked when he was put in a chair that looked like a dental chair and strapped in. Groaning pissed he was about to say something when he was electrocuted to exhaustion then a doctor walked up “That was a warm welcomed for you. I am a sick man that loves torture. So. Either tell me what I want to know or I will get my sick pleasures fulfilled on your disgusting body.”

…for weeks his tortured went on till one day he had enough, even the Germans didn’t treat him this bad. Looking in the doctor’s eyes they were lock till the doctor turned and started killing everyone. They shot and killed him thinking it would stop the doctor’s madness. However it made it worse as they tortured and murdered him. So he was trapped on the ship. They were going to destroy the ship but nothing happened, on of the generals in all their wisdoms decided to keep it since they are so expensive to make. He didn’t want to make the tax payer’s suffer more. However, when the ship went silent this last time, was the day that marked the 100th year celebration of the end of the war. He’s back with how he’s killing he’s pissed and wants revenge against military.”

The Captain just sat there and looked at him as if he had said something weird. Which, by the way, he had. “Your telling me my live men are trying to fight a ghost?” “Yes” He died laughing “Great! This should be a snap, let’s call in the Ghostbusters!” Shaking his head he groaned pissed not knowing what to do. “That’s why we brought Adara.” “Toothpicks with coconuts and so much junk in the trunk that she could possibly fill Troll’s hands? What is she a lot tougher then she looks?” “No.” “Oh good, I think Shu Yin is going to enjoy hearing you say that.” “But given the right situation she will be.” “What do you mean.” “I’ve been with her for the last several years and she is so much stronger then she knows. There is a binding on her keeping her powers at bay and I think it had to do with the cancer and the loss of her voice.” “Well we can’t get it back.” “Nope but if someone she very much loves is in trouble, what will happen?” “Your telling me to use Shu Yin as bait?” “Him or Troll as she cares for him too.” “Wonderful, don’t say anything to Troll he’ll go out there nude trying to provoke it for her. He has a very soft spot for her.” “I know, I heard about his pick up line.” “Yeah…” “So are you going to talk to Shu Yin or should I, Captain?” “I’ll go.”

The Captain had a quiet talk with Shu Yin, who naturally had concerns but he was hopping she still loved him enough to wake. He didn’t care if he got killed in the process as long as she was safe and okay. Nodding he went off and got ready for the final battle but went down as the boat shook. Troll had just used the ‘If you were yogurt, would you be premixed or fruit at the bottom?’ line on Adara getting another ‘da ********?’ look from her but the explosion he knew too well. “FUSE?!” He ran off not realizing the small girl had grabbed his jacket and mounted his back like a steed and riding him down to the problem.

When they came in she slipped off and saw Fuse laying face down “Heero?! What happened? Heero?” he was completely upset as that was his best friends. Flipping over “I almost had him…” coughing and slowly getting up “He moved after he realized that I wasn’t going to play his game.” the others joined, even a groggy ‘wha happened?’ Duo. “Its alright, he was trying his tricks against the wrong person.” The captain looked at Wu Fei “No it won’t work he’s on a different plane.” They took Heero and Duo off to the medical wing where they were only allowed to have a cotton ball if that.




Meanwhile on the deck Shu Yin said his quiet good byes to his sister without a word to her, this was the second time that he was possibly leaving her without saying anything. He hated it but he’s always done everything for her, he wanted to as their parents couldn’t take care of her, obviously, so he had to. Adara came out with Troll when she saw her brother call to the ghost, who appeared and started walking to him. Adara tried to rush to his aid, but Troll was easily holding her back. She struggled fiercely against Troll till she saw a thinner wire go through her brother, who luckily moved enough so he wasn’t going to die from the wound. An immense wave of energy left her as she was waking her powers.

Shu Yin wasn’t fairing so well as a thicker pole was coming towards him however when he covered his face with his arms instinctively, the blow never came. Opening his eyes “Don’t let our deaths be in vain.” The Captain smiled down at him “Tell Troll he has the team.” then was jerked back and the pole was ripped out of the back of him. Picking him up the specter was getting much much stronger with the rage within him. Turning time almost stopped as they saw him throw the Capt into a hole then vanished. Troll, Fuse, and Shu Yin ran up to see his body had landed on a drill and slowly twirled as it went down the sharp object. “Maybe…we shouldn’t be so close to the hole?” “Prolly” but it was too late Fuse went in with Troll on his stomach holding his best friend’s hand as if his life depended on it, since it did.

Shu Yin was looking out for it but got knocked down by him, this time Duo and Wu Fei came to the rescue and were doing their best to survive and buy Adara enough time to get herself together. Finally Adara came out running hard, no one could see where her eyes were as they were solid white. Jumping she grabbed the German and rolled with him eventually the body flopped down motionless. “Dar?” Shu Yin looked at her body “Dar?!” his voice broke and ran to her picking her up. She was dead. Holding her close he cried as Troll pulled up Fuse and was crushed. However when Duo and Wu Fei stood up “She’s not dead…fully.” The three gave them ‘da ********’ look and came over to see two ghosts fighting to the eternal death on the different cameras that were provided. Troll all but got on a tiny skirt and pom poms to cheer on Adara. Fuse was so embarrassed about him but understood, Shu Yin was on his knees praying to Lord Hades not to take his baby sister when he just got her back.

It was a grueling battle but Adara had too much to protect. They were now her brood that she had to protect. She was the tiniest but mightiest little lioness that the four boys ever saw, Shu Yin was too busy doing something he never does. Whether it was his praying or their cheering the four watched as the big guy got torn to pieces then she ‘bathed’ in the blood and let out a cry that they could actually kinda hear. It sounded like the boat was groaning but it was a noise. Slowly turning she saw her body and stopped over it, she debated. She wanted to live but knew she wasn’t quite the same. Eventually she went in and the chest rose as she woke. However when she stood she was clawed up and bloody as hell. What happened to her poor soul transferred to the body.

Few months later Adara was sitting around with Shu Yin, Duo, Wu Fei, and Heero having drinks and laughing. Her face looked like a dragon slashed her once, but she was happy. Still no sound from her but she did successfully to communicate with the guys. Trowa came and sat down “We are all officially honorably discharged.” they cheered and drank to that. “So Adara, you come here often?” She laughed silently and pushed him ‘I will now’. They talked more and with the talent and strength of the bond, the team talked about future adventures they could have in paranormal hunting.
