All Hail the Conquering Heroes! [OPEN]

((Takes place several hours after the conclusion of this))

They survived. More than that, it seemed as if they actually won; the Ohm had successfully been driven away from their location. The fight hadn't been easy, which one could easily tell just by looking at the Quarter as it docked in back in Stacy's Hangar.

It had a number of dents, dings, and scorch marks where the Ohm had made their presence felt. Thankfully, there was no obvious serious damage. Still, though every crew member who went out was coming back, one had to wonder about their condition, particularly since they sent ahead a request for medics to be on standby.

But now that the ship was fully docked, and the main hatch opened, it was time to find out.

Hikari smiled, hugging Allenby back. "Not really."

"Heh, good." Allenby looked back at the Quarter for a moment. Not for the first time she wondered about the presence of kids like Hikari on the ship. She could fight and that was good, but the idea of her being in a battle like that--

--Well she hadn't been, which was important. "So do ya know a lot of people that went on this mission, or just me?"

Hikari shook her head. "I... don't really know a lot of people who are part of the space squadrons," she answered. "I'm just glad that it went better than the fight on Zokez II..."

"Zokez II..." Allenby frowned. The name itself didn't sound familiar, but she made a guess. "That the first place you guys met the Ohm? I heard it happened durin' a shore leave."

Hikari nodded. "Yeah. It was... well, it was a lot different than this. There... well, the Ohm managed to get to the planet..."

Allenby winced. The Ohm in space had been bad enough. But if they'd reached the planet, then...

She couldn't help it, she had to ask. "So... did they destroy it?"

...Well, goddamn it.

She wasn't going to ask for any details. It was pretty obvious that the topic wasn't a happy one. No reason to make Hikari upset just for morbid curiosity.

However, it left Allenby with little to say for a time. She looked away awkwardly for a little bit. "...Well, we stopped 'em from doing that today," she said finally.

Hikari forced a smile. "That's really good!"

[identity profile] nobel-berserker.livejournal.com 2011-05-11 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." Allenby rested a hand on Hikari's head for a moment. "We beat 'em once, and we'll beat 'em next time too. I'll make sure of it!"

Hikari couldn't help but giggle at that. "Yeah, we will. We're going to have to. We can't let them get away with something like that again."
