Cocoon Civil War (003BF)

"Because you, Kenji, and Alex are the only ones who don't look at me differently. You don't look at me a see a monster that needs to be killed" Gabrielle said as tears formed in her eyes.

"and you think lying will make it any different? we where bond to find out"

Alex eventually reached the Training room as he walked into an empty room covered in panels that looked almost like glass.

"I know, I thought if could somehow make you guys like me then I wouldn't have to run from my past anymore" Gabrielle said.

Gabrielle undid a metal armband on her left arm revealing a shiny red scar burned into her fore arm.

"This symbol means monster, abomination, trash. I've never hurt anyone in my two hundred and fifty years and I'm the last of my kind. If I go back they'll kill me on the spot. I just wanted to get away from all that. Start fresh but no matter what I do I always get pushed away. Is it so wrong to want a better life?" Gabrielle cried.

"its not wrong but why would you want to start a life built up on lies they get you now where in life"

Kenji was standing outside Lightning's door listening to the whole thing. He was going to knock but for some strange reason decided to let Lightning handle this. Kenji had no idea that what was going on with Gabrielle made her want to feel so wanted and accepted by others.

"What kind of twisted world are you from?" Kenji asked himself.

Alex pushed a button on the door and sealed the chamber, he spawned a single holographic target to practice on really quick. "Okay let's see how THIS GOES!" He swung at the target and annihilated it in one lightning quick, devastating swing that destroyed the target. "Nice much more powerful than it used to be."

"I don't know, any life even one built on lies is better than what my previous life was. Hunted everyday, wondering when and how I've decided to be killed. I may be a witch but I'm still a person. I just wanted to get away from that" Gabrielle cried.

Gabrielle wiped the tears from her eyes and then fastened the metal armband back on hiding her scar.

"If you hate me for that then I'll leave and I won't bother you guys again and youll never see me again" Gabrielle said. Her voice sore from crying.

Kenji couldn't take it and knocked on Lightning's door.

"Lightning it's me, Kenji" Kenji said.

Alex spawned about fifty more soldiers that were above average strength. "Heh let's see how they handle me now." Alex charged at the mob of soldiers and sung at them as he anhiliated each one with his quick, devastating attacks. Each one fell in one bone shattering attack that sliced through their body and killed each one with ease. As he sliced through a few some other soldiers opened fire on him, he took his gunblade and blocked the bullets then charged at the group then swung at them too.

Lightning opened the door "WHAT NOW!?"

"Don't yell at me! I'm not one of your ignorant ass soldiers" Kenji snapped back.

He then calmed down after snapping on Lightning.

"You're energy waves aren't exactly on mute and then I came to see what was wrong but I guess since you're in a crappy mood.Never mind!" Kenji said and then walked off.

'Who the hell does she think she is?' Kenji thought.

(LOL!)

Alex killed the soldiers in about 6.14 seconds. He had no trouble and did it with such speed. "Maybe spawn some more soldiers at a higher difficulty..."

"ugh.." Light ignored him and went back into the room "well at least you told me stick around if you like i dont really care" she said returning to the conversation with Gabrielle

(Even Kenji has his limits when it comes to Lightning unlike Kyle who just backs down and waits until she's cools off...LOL)

"You hate me now don't you?" Gabrielle asked as she looked down at her hands.

Gabrielle then wiped her tears away again.

"Maybe I should just go back and let them win" Gabrielle sniffed.

(lol yeah they are different, at least Lightning is nicer when Kyle met her. But she still can get mad... lol)

Storm spawned about 150 solders and started to attack them, they were tougher this time, but he still killed them off in record time. "Man... this is just too easy..."

"I dont hate you hate is a strong word. Dont give dont ever give you'll lose everything if i gave up when my mother died you think i would have made it any where?"

Kenji walked into the room and slammed his door so hard that it fell of its hinges and shook the entire ship.

"Just perfect!" Kenji said.

Kenji then just went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Alex came back out with his gunblade in his holdster on his side, he had his hand cupped around the tip of the hilt as he looked to either side. "Hmm... maybe I should go see how the crew is doing..."

Gabrielle just sat there quiet not knowing what else to say.

"I just want things to be different, I'm tires of running. I want all the things a normal person has, friends, cherished memories, things that make life worth living and it seems that I can't even have that without being labeled as a freak or a monster" Gabrielle said.

Lightning folded her arms "Stop making excused just do it dont think about it unless its a life or death situation just do live your life no matter what people say"

Kenji drank his water and out of frustration and anger smashed the glass in his hand. Resulting in his hand getting cut up and bleeding.

"Calm down Kenji, don't let her boil your blood" Kenji said to himself.

Alex kept on walking through the halls as he sighed, "We'll have to do some briefing in a bit... still have a few hours though... It's nice having down time." He thought to himself.

Gabrielle summoned her sword which soon reverted to its true form. Gabrielle muttered a strange word and in an instant the spell over Lightning shattered in a bright flash of golden light.

"I've been done with making excuses, I'm not running anymore. I attend to make a home in this world. I wouldn't mind a second chance at having a friendship with you guys if a second chance is possible" Gabrielle said finally done crying.
