| - Previous: Graveyard of a Madman Part 51 Usagi: Where are you headed so early in the morning? Chio: Where do you think? I told you I would do it. Usagi: Ooohh Kajikajikajikaji you say a lot of things, that doesn't always mean something. Chio: [Smiled back toward her.] Well, I suppose this is the proof you want. [Got up from the bed and picked up his shirt from the ground, pulling it over his head as he slid it on.] I'll be back. Usagi: Good luck [Yawned and turned back over to catch a few more Z's before anyone else interrupted her sleep.] Alice: Oh, Chio! Good morning! Would you like some toast and eggs? I was just about to make breakfast. Chio: Oh, uh, no thanks, Alice. Do you know where Rinji is? Alice: Ummm I haven't seen him today. Check the medical tent. Chio: Right! Thanks! [Ran past her with a paper bag in his hand.] Chris: You know, out of all of them, he had to be my favorite. I really like his hair. Ellis: [Looked up at him with an odd expression.] He's got no hair. Chris: Well, yeah, that's what I mean, I like the way his head shines with no hair at all. Ellis: I suppose. You feelin' better today? You were pretty wiped out yesterday. Chris: Oh yes! Much better, thank you. The buzzing in my head is completely gone. Ellis: ...Buzzin' in your head... Chris: Yeah, I felt tired, and woozy after my head got hit really hard, and I threw up, and my head kept on buzzing. I feel better now though. Ellis: [Face palm.] Well, I'm glad you slept well... And woke up without being in a coma, because what you just described was a concussion. Chris: Concussion? Noooo, no, not a concussion. Ellis: ....Really... Chris: Noooo, there's no way, I've had a concussion before. It was this drum thing that sounded like a repeating gun, and drum sticks. It was a really-- Ellis: Percussion. Chris: Pardon? Ellis: That's percussion. A percussion instrument is a drum or a cymbal. A concussion is when you have had a violent head trauma, and your brain starts to swell in order to fix itself. Falling asleep could cause a coma, or even make it to where you never wake up again. Chris: ....Oh.... Well, your hair sure is looking nice! Ellis: Tanks. Chio: Ellis! Hey. [Looked at Chris and waved at him as he walked up to the two of them.] Hey, have either of you seen Rinji around? Ellis: Nope, ain't seen the cat since last night. Chris: Ummmm, I think I saw him over by the beach. Chio: Today? Is he awake or... [Eyes darted over to the man on the bed as he noticed that he was wearing dress uniform of the marines.] What the... Vice Admiral Polatsu laid down on the bed, his body was ravaged from the battle. Wounds were all up and down his torso, and his face looked like someone was dancing on it. The burns were the worst part, his skin was scorched on his chest, and both of his arms. His fists were wounded to the point where it looked like his knuckles were caved in. All of these wounds were bandaged, and a special balm was put over his burns to keep them from killing anymore of his skin. Chio: Dear lord! Polatsu? Ellis: Yeah, he's had a tough time of it. He did some good fightin' out there, even saved the Captain's life. Figured he could use some help. Chris: Ooohh, he's awake! Polatsu! [Held up three fingers.] How many fingers am I holding up? Polatsu: Errrmmm... Where am I? Ellis: You're in a building that was once a dorm for college students. Now it's a hospital for us. Don't try to move, and keep the talkin' to a minimum. Polatsu: Oh, I thank you, young lady. I feel ashamed to trouble you, seems how I brought all of this chaos down on all of your crews. Ellis: Eh, [Shrugged.] yous just doin' yer job. Glad I got you stable and bandaged when I did. Polatsu: Kola? What of him? Chio: He's dead. Chris: I think his head landed somewhere near that building you passed out under. Polatsu: He was beheaded? Ellis: Oh, yeah. Thanks to you, Rinji got'em good. Ya done good, Admiral. Ellis: Ey, just rest, Sam. I'll turn off the light, and we'll leave you alone. Alright? --- Rinji: Now... I'm sure you all know why I called you here. [Fixed his sun shades, lying there in his red swim trunks. Bathing in the sun so that his fur would have a good amount of vitamin D, and he could have a nice, private licking session later.] Creeper: To give us food? Rinji: Maybe here in a bit... Thoosa: To tell us you're doing a surprise song and dance number? Rinji: Eh, I could do that. Timber: To challenge us to a kid's card game? Rinji: If you have some. Sakura: To tell us who the murderer is? Rinji: Ummm... I guess that'd be me. Rinji: No... I called you all here... to... ummmmm... hell, I don't know, I really didn't have a reason. Chio: Captain! I've got something to tell you! And it's important! Rinji: Chio, unless you are here to tell me how mellow and laid back you are, it can wait til later. Chio: Well... ummm... [Opened up the paper bag.] I brought beer. Rinji: Oooo, well that's a good start. [Took one of the beers that Nova gave Chio, and popped it open.] Chio: It's a little warm. Rinji: Aahh. [Waved it off and took a nice big sip.] Chio: Alright, so I know our ship was destroyed, so after you get out of your vacation mode, you'll want to worry about that. Rinji: Uh huh? Chio: And, so, me and Usagi were talking. Decaden: Usagi and I... Chio: What? Decaden: The correct phrasing is 'Usagi and I.' Chio: ... Anyway, Usagi and I were talking, and we were wondering-- Creeper: Hey! Look! Out in the water! Glory: Who is that guy? [Squinted and shaded her eyes as the man on the boat came closer.] That was, however, until he let out a powerful yet hearty laugh, and waved at the lot of them. Giant: Greetings! Friends! Giant: Threat not little ones! For I am only here in search of my captain! Nova Bade! Have any of you seen him? Glory: Oh my Goddess... Mountain Mike?! Mike: Indeed! I am hunting my Captain after his sudden disappearance! I'm sure you could tell me where he is. Sakura: Where is Scarlett? Last we met you two were always together. Mike: Buahahaha! Drake was right! you're a sharp one! Yes Scarlett is searching with Ice in another location! We split up to tread more ground. And I drew the straw of going solo! Rinji: Yeah.... yeah, he's here. Mike: Excellent! Could any of you be kind enough to guide my way? [That was when he looked off into the distance, able to look over all of the buildings to see the enormous conflict that had taken place only the day before.] I see the news of the battle was not at all exaggerated. Such a battle would have been a sight to see, indeed! If we had recieved word or known sooner about the incident! The Skylines could have come to aid! Would have saved more time than hunting our Captain down Buahahahaha!! Rinji: Yeah! I'll take you to him now. [Turned to run toward the city, but was stopped as Chio put a hand on his shoulder.] Chio: Wait! Captain, remember? I needed to talk to you about importance? Sakura: It's okay, Rinji, I will show him the way. Mike: Buahahahaha! You've been fighting and partying from the looks of things young one! Lead the way on my shoulder! [Allowing her to step on his hand, he lifted her onto his shoulder whilst she sheathed her sword, being careful not to step on anything or anyone as he followed where she pointed] Usagi: Whoa... [Walking up to the beach, and gazing at the giant as he walked into the city, avoiding bumping into any buildings. Then she looked over at Chio and Rinji.] Hey! Chio! Did you ask him?! Chio: Well, I-- Rinji: Ask me what? Chio: Captain... Usagi and I would like for you to marry us together.
