Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Gundam R ❯ Escape to Danger ( Chapter 3 )

Ordinarily the situation would have been simple to remedy. Simply get Sean's parents, or one of the others' parents, to sign for him. Except Sean's father was somewhere near Mercury, his mother hadn't been seen for years, and the others didn't have any useful parents. Niban's mother hated the girl, and her father had been killed by her older brother… Who had died when the father shot back. Lynna's dad could be convinced to sign it once drunk enough, but his signature never matched his standard one when he was that out. Eri's parents had thrown him into the job market when he was 16, and told him not to come back looking for favors, so they were out too. And Mayonaka was from an orphanage, and had no guardian.

Not that any of that mattered with the other minor detail that the one signing was required to be the legal guardian of Sean.

Thus, their plan was simple. Crash into the back of the jail-nicely located on Europa as apposed to a colony, and thus not the same amount of risk-and then get him out before anyone noticed. No one get hurt, except maybe Sean from falling debris, and no one would be able to track him down, since, as the monitor Niban had seen revealed, they still thought his name was Shawn Johnson, the fake name he used every time he got arrested.

Another wards, the name that had all his criminal record on it. Meaning this whole thing could have been avoided if he'd just admitted to being Sean Zeus. This would have involved problems with his parents though…

Currently they only had two problems. One was that they had to put the plan into operation before they did get Sean's real identity. It was upon this moment that the others had found out that, while he couldn't install new parts that well, Eri was quite probably better than Ly at fixing things in a fix. The second was who was going to fly it to put the plan into operation.

Automatically Eri had been unvoluntarily volunteered… he was the best pilot this side of the asteroid belt, everyone knew that, but there was the matter of the confusing controls in the century old cockpit.

"If nothing else, I'm at least not piloting it because Sean would kill me for touching his RS without his permission," he added when Niban had brought up the previous point.

"See? Its hazardous to his health, too! I think that Mayo-kun should do it!!" she paused for a moment and had an intrigued yet disgusted look on her face, an expression the others had learned to fear, before the standard response came from the wall behind her.

"DON'T call me -kun," he stated calmly, stepping forward to meet the others. "And I couldn't care one way or the other. I understand the controls, I've studied the blueprints enough… I could fly it myself, or teach one of you just as easily." He went back to his standard silence to ponder his statement. "But I doubt any of you are strong enough to use those controls. So I'll do it, but seeing as how this is your friend not mine, it'd better get me some kind of discount while you're building DarkFox."

"DarkFox?! What the blazes it that?" Ly complained, mostly to break the monotone he tended to create.

"Its what I plan to call my Gundam. Is that a problem?" he responded calmly, but the gaze that fell on Lynna should have burned through her like a laser.

"No," she winced in response. She whimpered lightly as he walked back away and sat in the corner.

"Back to work…?" Eri suggested, again to break the monotone.

"And… to Ginger Snaps!!" Niban grinned before running off to continue where she'd been working earlier. Another whimper came from the other two who actually cared.
