Outlaw Star Fan Fiction

i don`t own there right so don`t sew me!

Gene turned the ship while Aisha and Suzuka used the grappler arms. They
locked onto one pirate ship and ripped it in half.
"I am detecting another dozen ships coming out of ether pace behind us
Gene. We also have... correction: had a leak on the left side." Gilliam
said.
Jim looked up and asked, "What do you mean Gilliam?"
"Nita managed to repair it in time."
Gene smiled. "That's my girl." Suddenly the ship was rocked by a missle
blast. "How many missles do we have left?"
"We have less than thirteen percent remaining." Melfina said.
"Gene, if this keeps up we'll have to use the casters." Aisha said.
Before he could respond Gilliam interupted again. "There is another ship
on the sensors. It appears to be the El Dorado."
Suzuka looked up, "What do you think they want?"
Ron's face appeared on the screen. "My my, here we are on our way to a
relaxing vacation and who do we find? Gene Starwind."
Gene smirked. "Hey Ron, how about you help us out here and I promise I
won't kill you for what you did to my father?"
From behind Ron they heard Harry's voice, "Is he still complaining about
that?"
Ron nodded, "Ok, though seeing as you killed my brother..." A huge missle
fired from the El Dorado into the midde of the other ships. It exploded,
vaporizing all of them.

Nita watched her screen in amazement. While it was clear the other ship
wasn't as good as the Outlaw Star, it obviously had some very good weapons.
She hit the intercom button. "Dad, are these those McFoogle guys you told me
about?" She grinned and winked at Gene so he knew she had mispronounced it
on purpose.
Gene laughed and nodded. "Yeah, that's them. What are you two doing out
here anyway?"
Ron frowned. "That's McDougal. Anyway we were on vacation and decided to
head to Sentinal. Is that a problem?"
Aisha growled. "Darn right there's a problem! We're going..." She was cut
off by Jim's hand over her mouth.
Ron grinned at them. "So you're going there to? Maybe we'll see eachother
around." The screen cut off.
Nita shook her head. "Why do I get the feeling that this wasn't an
accident?"
Suzuka sighed. "There are no accidents, especially where thoe two are
conscerned."
"They aren't all bad." Melfina said. "Harry did help Gene rescue me."
Gene leaned back and smiled. "Lert's not worry about it. We can handle
anything they throw at us."
"You've been hanging out around Aisha too long." Jim muttered.
Aisha and Gene yelled, "Hey!" Nita and the others just laughed.

Leaving the ship at the spaceport the group headed out to the beach. Nita
was really enjoying herself because she'd never even been swimming before.
"I'm just glad we aren't in spaceany more."
Aisha grinned at her. "Well don't get to used to it."
"It's alright Nita, you did a terrific job." Gene said.
"And you didn't even pee yourself." Melfina added, getting a dirty look
from Gene. "Oops, sorry Gene."
When they got to the beach they set up some blankets to sit on, then went
to change into their bathing suits. Gene and Jim came out in matching black
trunks. Melfina wore the black swimsuit from the Toonami episodes. Suzuka
was in a yellow bikini while Nita wore a blue one. Aisha came out compleely
naked, catching the eyes of everyone on the beach.
Jim's jaw dropped and he whispered to Gene, "Have I even mebtioned how
glad I am she's not human?"
Gene laughed and rubbed Jim's head roughly. "And what happened to 'Not all
guys have one thing on their mind'?" Jim just swatted his hand away and sat
down grumbling, but still looking at Aisha as she walked back. All he could
think was that her hair color really was natural.
Aisha laughed and used her tail to close his mouth. "Don't drool Jim, it
makes you look like Gene."
"Shut up Aisha." Gene said. He helped Melfina begin unloading the picnic
basket they'd brought while Nita began wandering down the beach. Suzuka had
gone swimming.
Melfina yelled. "Don't go to far Nita!" Nita waved and continued walking.

Nita sat at the edge of a tide pool and twirled her finger in it, scaring
a tiny blue fish. It turned bright red and a small electrical charge filled
the water. "Ow!" Sh pulled her finger back and sucked on it. "Rotten fish."
Laying back on the rock she stared up at the clouds, making shapes in her
mind. She shivered slightly, remembering the terror she'd felt being in
space. "I can handle it." She whispered to herself. "If dad can do it so can
I." Smiling she closed her eyes and let the sun warm her skin.
A shadow passed over her eyes and a nasal voice said, "You really do look
a lot like your parents. A little too much like Gene if you ask me."
Nita opened one eye and saw Harry McDougal standing over her. She knew it
was Harry because of Melfina's description. "Then it's a good thing I didn't
ask." She said and closed her eye again. "Do you mind, you're in my light."
"Now don't be like that. I just wanted to talk." He said, moving back so
the sun hit her again.
"Fine, talk." She said.
Harry grinned and sat down next to her. "You are very beautiful, what's
your name?"
"Sally." She said quickly.
"Well Sally, how would you like to come with me? I'm sure you've felt out
of place..." He stopped when she sat up and stared into his face.
She looked him right in the eyes and said, "Look, I couldn't be happier
where I am. I heard all about you and I'm surprised my mother can even stand
to say your name. Now go away."
Harry's eye twitched and his voice went up a notch. "Why doesn't anyone do
what I tell them to do!" He screamed and took a swing at Nita with his
cybernetic arm. "I'll just take you wth me and we can reprogram, you."
Nita took the hit in the face; her head shooting to the side and a small
cut appeared on her cheek right under her eye. She saw Gene running towards
her over the sand dune holding his gun. Holding up her hand Nita shook her
head and turned back to Harry. Gene was so surprised that he stopped in his
tracks.
She turned back to Harry and smiled. "I was so hoping you'd do that."
Before he could respond Nita drew back and punched him in the face, breaking
his nose.
Harry yelled again and grabbed his face. "Ahhh! My nose! Why won't you
just do what I say?"
Nita grinned. "Because you're a dweeb. I don't know what kind of twisted
life you've had, but if you come near me again I won't stop with just
breaking your jaw."
Harry looked at her, holding his nose with blood dripping between his
fingers. "But you didn't..." He didn't get to finish before Nita stood up
and kicked him across the face. Harry's jaw shattered like glass and he fell
back with more blood gushing out of his mouth. Still smiling she walked
away, leaving him writhing in pain.
Gene smiled and put his arm around her shoulder when she reached him.
"That was very good Nita."
She smiled up at him. "Well I couldn't let you ruin our trip by letting
you kill him. Mom would have gotten upset."
He nodded and looked back to where Ron was helping Harry up. Harry was
screaming and pointing after them, but Ron shhok his head and motioned to
their car. Harry looked at them again, but turned and followed his brother.

Melfina smiled as Nita and Gene came back. "I managed to save you each a
sandwhich."
Suzuka looked at them through a pair of sunglasses. "Aisha got the rest.
Hey Nita, what happened to your cheek?"
Gene looked between her and Melfine. "Um... she scraped it on a rock."
"Really?" Melfina asked.
"No, but you don't want to know what really happened." Nita said ans wiped
off a tiny bit of blood. Melfina just shook her head and handed them their
food, making a comment about them being more careful. "Where did Jim and
Aisha go?"
Suzuka motioned down the beach. "Aisha challenged a bunch of guys to a
volleyball game and Jim decided to take bets." Nita sat down with her mother
and Gene took his sandwich to go watch the game.

There were eighteen full-grown men laying on the ground next the
volleyball court while the six playing looked extremely tired. Aisha, who
was very naked except for her fur, which was sticking to her in tufts, was
having a great time. She had already won twelve straight games.
Running under the ball she hit it straight up into the air. It went up
four stories, and then as it came back down she flipped into the air and
spiked it into the sand. Someone tried to head butt it, but was thrown back
ten feet into the sand. The others just fell back.
"Game, set, match." Jim said and began collecting the money.
Aisha stretched from side to side and grinned. "Anybody else?" Everyone
watching quickly got up and ran off. "Aw, now what will I do?"
Gene frowned at her. "You could buy lunch for the rest of us."
She smiled and shook her head. "Nah, I'm not hungry right now. I want to
play! Come on Gene, I'll play you best two out of three points."
Jim smiled at Gene. "Oh come on Gene, this should be interesting."
He looked between them, then back at Melfina, Nita, and Suzuka who walked
up behind him.
"I'll do it if you won't Gene." Suzuka said.
Nita grinned. "Me too."
Gene smiled and shook his head. "I have a better idea: Me, and Nita, and
Melfina against you three. Losers have to be the winner's slaves for a week.
Nothing kinky," He said glancing at Melfina who blushed deep red. "Just
things like cooking, laundry, driving places, that sort of thing."
They all nodded and got on either side of the net. Jim served and Gene hit
it back. Suzuka clipped it back and Melfina hit it to Nita. She hit it up
into the air and Gene spiked it. Aisha got it in time, but hit it into the
net.
Next Melfina served. Aisha immediately spiked it into the ground at Gene's
feet. Unfortunately it popped and hit Gene in the face.
"Want to call it a draw?" He asked, glancing at Suzuka. She grinned,
sharing in the private joke, then nodded along with the others.
"Too bad." Aisha said. "I was really hoping to get Gene to wash my socks."
Everyone else shuddered at the thought.

At the end of the day, when most of the people on the beach had left, Gene
and the others sat on their blankets and watched the sun set. Melfina and
Nita both leaned against him. Suzuka smiled, thought how much the sun
reminded her of the neon lights at a casino and thought that she just might
have a gambling problem. Aisha sat with her arms around Jim from behind,
effectively blocking any view of her body. He seemed to be enjoying himself.
When the sun finally sank below the horizon a cold wind blew over them.
Shivering they packed up ther blankets, clothes, and other things, then went
to find a hotel.
As they walked along the beach, Jim pointed up at one of the stars. "Hey
Gene, isn't that Farfalis?"
Everyone looked up at the star and Gene nodded. "Yeah it is." He smiled
and put his arms around his wife and daughter. "You know, last time we saw
that star our whole lives changed."
Melfina smiled and hugged him back. "Yes they did, but only for the
better."
Turning back they headed towards the hotels again. "I'm hungry." Aisha
complained. The others just groaned and kept walking.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Hey it's me, Harry. Well the McDougals are gone for good. Ron says we're
just going to leave Gene and his friends alone from now on. Good thing too,
because in the next part someone at Gene's hotel has decided to take
hostages. Want to find out more? Read the next fic, 'Barganing chips'.
