(Huh? Which ship are they at? I thought they were just outside the door on Keigo’s ship)
(Huh? Which ship are they at? I thought they were just outside the door on Keigo’s ship)
( I thought they We're at amelias )
(Well… so, how do you want to do this then? Do you want to say that they already checked Keigo’s ship and found nothing out of the ordinary?)
(Also, was Amelia meant to stay outside while Keigo went inside? Or were they both inside?)
( ohhh that's quite a few possibilities. Maybe she could be checking outside, when Keigo finds maxim, and Keigo couldn't warn her in time.)
(That could work. What do you mean by ‘couldn’t warn her in time’? Does Maxim capture him or shoot him?)
( eh id leave that up to you since it's your character )
(Okay)
A gun rested against the back of Keigo’s helmet.
“Don’t move or call for help, or I blow your goddamn head to bits. Now, where’s the bitch and where’s my sack of shit brother?”the voice of Maxim growled.
Keigo yelped, his voice coming through the comms, which meant to Amelia and to the ship “ I don't know. Amelias off doing something and your teams not on my ship” he said coldly.
“Liar. I’ll give you one last chance. Where are they?”Maxim hissed.
Amelia jumped at the yelp and looked in the direction of her door. She quickly started moving that way.
Jonathan jumped at the yelp like Amelia had.
“What the fuck? Bull, I think we’ve got trouble,”Jonathan called.
Bull, who was nearby, stood and move to grab his guns.
“ I don't know!” he turned to disarm maxim, though he had tripped over the man's boot, falling on his ass.
Maxim scowled at Keigo.
“Fuck this. You’re useless, but I want Amelia to suffer, so…”
Maxim aimed down and shot Keigo twice in the gut.
Amelia heard the shots as she entered her ship and gasped. She hurried inside and rushed to where she heard the sound.
She saw Maxim standing over Keigo and shrieked, grabbing her own gun and shooting Maxim three times. One bullet hit him in the shoulder, another in the chest, and the last one in his waist.
Maxim yelped and collapsed next to Keigo, gasping for air. He rolled over, attempting to lift his gun to shoot.
“Bull, hurry the fuck up! Boris!”Jonathan called.
Bull grunted at him irritably, suiting up. Boris came out of his room with his medicine bag and started suiting up as well.
Jonathan finally found the comms monitor and tapped on it.
“Keigo? Emma? What the fuck is going on?”
“ shot.. Me and maxim” keigo Was able to get out. He held His gut tightly. “ everything fucking hurts..”
“Max is there?”Jonathan burst.
At his words, Bull and Boris immediately finished suiting up and headed out of the ship.
Jonathan turned to watch them go, his mind whirling. It was likely best that he stayed, but… Maxim was his brother.
“Ah shit!”Jonathan breathed, turning back to the computers and focusing on them in an attempt to calm himself down.
Amelia saw Maxim lifting his gun and she lunged forward, snatching his ankle and pulling him toward her. He grunted, his gun slipping from his shaky hands.
“You son of a bitch!”she screamed, grabbing one of her daggers and slamming it down into his sternum. Maxim grunted, then went limp.
Amelia then turned and rushed to Keigo’s side, noticing his gut with a gasp.
“Fuck. Boris, you better get here goddamn fast, or I will personally kick your fucking ass!”Amelia said into the comms.
“We’re on our way!”Boris replied.
“‘On our way’ isn’t good enough!”Amelia snapped back.
“I’m right here, Keigo, and I’m not going anywhere,”Amelia said, gently holding a hand on his shoulder.
Keigo tried to smile “ I know, I can see you “ he was starting to become incoherent. Keigo watched Amelia like hed just seen a sky full of stars for the first time. “ Melia, I ever tell you that you a real beauty?”
Amelia chuckled.
“Yes. I ever tell you that you’re the sweetest man I’ve ever known?”she asked, trying to keep him talking.
Boris and Bull then came in. Boris quickly shed his spacesuit and kneeled beside Keigo, immediately opening his medicine bag and pulling out everything he would need.
“Help me get him out of his suit as quickly and as gently as possible,”Boris said to Amelia.
She nodded and started with Keigo’s helmet.
Bull stayed out of the way, staring at Maxim’s body in shock. Sure, he had hated the man, but he had never expected this outcome.
“What’s going on, guys? Don’t leave me fucking hanging here,”Jonathan said over the comms.
“Maxim’s dead. Kei’s in bad shape, but Boris has him,”Bull reported.
Time seemed to freeze around Jonathan for a moment as he registered Bull’s words. When the moment passed, Jonathan sat in a nearby chair and didn’t move for a long while.
Keigo had finally gone over, his eyes closed for longer periods. His body was almost limp other than his hand gripping the area where he was shot. Keigo could feel a cuddle cold when the suit was finally taken off of him and he shivered. “ cold…” he said just barely over a whisper
Boris quickly went to work on stopping the bleeding and fixing Keigo up. He was rushing a bit, so nothing was neat, but at least Keigo would live.
Amelia didn’t move from her spot as Boris worked, her hand on Keigo’s shoulder. She periodically spoke words of encouragement to both of them, sometimes aloud, sometimes barely audible.
As Bull watched, he decided to get out of his suit and help clean up a bit while the other two were occupied. He looted Maxim’s body, taking anything useful or valuable, then wrapped his body with a bag. He also wiped up Maxim’s blood. Then, he waited.
Keigo could feel the stitches being placed but it was like he was at a distance, he could just barely hear Amelia. Trying his hardest to do something, just anything, he managed to reach up and grab Amelia’s hand
Amelia immediately wrapped her fingers around his hand, holding it tightly but gently.
“I’m here, love. I haven’t moved. You’re going to be alright,”Amelia said.
Boris looked up a moment later from a pad with Keigo’s stats on it.
“You got a bed in here? I was thinking of moving him in a minute, when everything’s a bit more stable. I got a stretcher folded up in my bag,”Boris said.
“My room’s over there,”Amelia said, pointing with her free hand to a nearby door.
“Well, that’s good. Won’t have to move him too far,”Boris commented.
“I’ll help carry him,”Bull volunteered.
Keigo felt himself be lifted up and he griped onto Amelia. He hated the feeling of drifting. “ down..”
Boris and Bull gently set Keigo down on the stretcher.
“We’re moving you onto this stretcher thing, Kei. I’m sure Boris is willing to wait,”Bull said.
“Yeah, we’re in no rush. But I’m sure even the stretcher is more comfortable and forgiving than fucking metal floor,”Boris replied.
Keigo tilted his head toward bull “ thanks?..” he said just barely coming out of incoherence
Bull chuckled,”Yup.”
“Tell us when you’re ready,”Boris said after a moment, watching the stats.
“ go..” keigo mumbled. His face contorted with discomfort, his heart rate would spike as soon as they lifted him but it was not surprising with his fear of floating.
Boris and Bull gently lifted him and moved to Amelia’s room. They then moved him onto her bed and Bull went to clean up the blood in the hallway.
Amelia sat down in a chair next to Keigo, still holding his hand.
“And now you’ve seen my room. I don’t decorate much,”Amelia said, chuckling as she rubbed her thumb on his fingers.
Her room was mostly bare, except for a picture of a young Amelia with a white haired man and a small note under the picture frame.
