Chapter Two: Outlaws
-
Andaluza walked back a little but continued insisting he ought to do something that makes him feel alive. “But your business is boring! All you do is draw command fleets on paper! I want to be IN those command fleets! Can I have a cruiser for my 20th birthday?”
-
Faye frowns and looks at Jack, her mind wondering if she could cause some internal strife in the remaining Keepers in the process of this… “He’s been captured for a long time, as you know…he’s been dead for…maybe an hour give or take…” She sighs, “He was brainwashed to try and kill us all.” She says, referring to Odysseus, “But Geralt saved us…he shot him down…”
She goes over to Apollo, keeping her form as Faye, “I’m sorry Apollo…I know you knew him well…” She cautiously extends her arms, in case he wanted a shoulder to cry on, or a person to tackle…
-
“Shut up, boy!” Midzog shouted, slamming his fist on the metal table, denting it.
“Begone, or I will kill you like I should have killed you when you were given to me as an infant!”
-
(Funny that you do the O thing, because that was what we did in the former RP for a while too.) <i>Ozymandias turns to Apollo, his red eyes fading, and Odysseus sees Apollo and smiles. </i>”Hello, old friend. When did you get here? No matter… Jack is dying. Well, dead. But we are going to bring him back… We flying to one of my secret facilities to aid in that effort. Now, Geralt needs some company.” Odysseus attaches a pin to Apollo and suddenly Apollo is teleported between ships, standing besides Geralt. “We will arrive there in three hours.” Odysseus returns to Jack’s body, tending to it.
-
Andaluza slowly went back to the table, a little upset. “But…you’re my dad…”
-
Apollo’s grief soon turned to anger.
“Who killed Jack? Who is behind this?!”
-
“You are my tool to spy on the Keepers. It’s adorable that you think Apollo is your rival when he is better than you in every way. You’re only twenty, a little welp. Go off and get into a skirmish with him again, so he can beat you and you can come back and disappoint me once more. But the reason why I am disappointed is because I have you for a son and not him.”
-
Odysseus opens a communication to Geralt’s ship, which Apollo is now on, and speaks to Apollo. “Would you like the technical or the right answer to that question?”
-
Andaluza, on the verge of tears, decided it was time to show his dad how competent he was.
“I-I know he beats me every time” Andaluza exclaimed, his voice quivering. “But I-I will get him…and he will die.”
He stormed off angrily to his gunship, his first birthday present he was given at the age of 10. To do a dangerous mission.
-
Apollo yelled through the communications device. “Both answers are desired at this point but the right one is preferrable!!”
-
Midzog breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the irritation of his was gone. He never wanted Andaluza. He was given to him, already an infant. Like a splinter driven into his finger, it was an annoyance that he had to focus on before anything else. If his creation twenty years ago taught him anything, it was to never succumb to human needs, which is why he made himself completely robotic so he never had to anymore. He refused to talk to him until he was ten, and immediately sent him on a mission, hoping he would be killed and his irritation would be relieved. But no. He came back, badly wounded. Midzog was about to let him bleed out on the floor right there, but he had an epiphany. He could make him a tool to hunt the Keepers, so he experimented on him surgically, giving him his powers. The only thing that remained is his ridiculous puppy-dog affection for his father. It was the most annoying thing Midzog has ever had to be put through.
-
“Technically, Geralt shot Jack in the head… But Midzog was the one who brainwashed Jack and removed his immortality before he sent him to kill us. So Midzog is to blame. But don’t worry. We are getting Jack back.”
-
Apollo looked at Geralt angrily, but decided to be even more upset at Midzog. “How did Midzog get Jack?”
-
As Andaluza walked to the gunship, he realized he shouldn’t be mad at Midzog, but to be mad at Apollo for being better than him. Andaluza knew Midzog as his dad all his life and blindly followed his motives just to make him happy and to desire him but all Midzog did was seem busy all his life. He wished that Midzog would spend time with him like a regular parent.
-
“Honestly? Jack was a reckless idiot who tried to invade Midzog’s base with a person whom he could barely and shouldn’t trust.” Odysseus looks up at Faye and mouths ‘No offense’. “He got captured, and experimented on.”
