Thion 3XQ: Journey [ON HOLD]

“Captain, we’ve got a report saying there’s an unauthorized vehicle coming this way. Reports are saying it’s a Thion 3XQ ship” 

Jihyo had been sitting at her desk reviewing papers when she heard the news. “What?” She quickly stood up. 

“We also have an incoming message. Would you like to hear it?” 

Jihyo nodded. “Play it” It was a simple message stating that Team F9 would be arriving soon. She figured that they wanted to inform them about the ship. “Alright patch then through” 

She then remembered the little SGT the other day who was worried about her friend. She never got around to telling her the first time but this time she would. 

-

Chaeyoung had been running through the courtyard when she got the news. She quickly rushed over to her apartment to shower and change. On the way she phoned Mina to tell her about the good news. 

A crowd had gathered for the arrival of Team F9. They all saw an odd looking ship arriving on the airstrip. Jihyo was there along with a couple of armed SGTs who were ready to shoot if it had turned out to be something else in the ship. They couldn’t take any chance even though it would be silly since the Vesta Base is filled with armed and skilled SGTs. 

When the ship opened the Zanerthean captives started walking out with their hands up so as to signal not to shoot. Jihyo eyed them and told the group of SGTs to stand down. Tzuyu and Sana were one of the last ones to come out of the ship. 

Chaeyoung had to get on her toes to find her best friend and after a few seconds she finally found the tall girl, her shoulder seemed hurt.  Her eyes then caught sight of a girl next to her, an orange haired girl. The girl was looking up at Tzuyu and Chaeyoung thought there was something familiar about her until the girl turned her head. It can’t be.. why is she here? How is she here? Why is she next to Tzuyu?  She then looked back at the duo and swears she saw them holding hands but it could’ve just been her mind playing tricks on her. Tzuyu and Chaeyoung finally made eye contact and Chaeyoung smiled and waved at her, she wanted to run and hug the taller girl but she couldn't. At least not now, they’d have to be decontaminated. Tzuyu gave a weak smile and waved back to her before turning to speak to Captain Park. 

“SGT Chou” Jihyo said and Tzuyu saluted. 

“I see the mission was successful but where are the other members of your team?” 

Tzuyu sighed. “Captain.. I’m-I’m sorry..” she didn’t know how to tell her. However Jihyo seemed to understand. “Oh. Well let’s get you all cleaned up and you and I can talk about it after” 

“Yes Ma’am” Tzuyu nodded. 

“Karl, take all of them to the decontamination station. Eric, start setting up tents so they have places to stay. Kevin, take the injured to the medical room” 

“Yes Captain” they said as they went to do what they were assigned. From behind her, Tzuyu heard Somi clear her throat. “Oh one more thing Captain, one of the captives suffered a brain damage or something and needs a doctor immediately” Tzuyu said as she pointed to where Sunmi was standing. She was standing next to Somi just staring at the floor. 

“Yes well Kevin? Can you take care of that as well?” 

“Yes Captain” 

Somi seemed relieved and Tzuyu’s glad that Sunmi would finally be getting medical treatment. 

Jihyo bid them goodbye and took them all to the decontamination room. They wet and sprayed and gave them all new clean clothes to wear. After that, the injured people went to get treated. Tzuyu got her shoulder stitched up and some pills to help with the pain. After that was done she headed towards her apartment where she knew Chaeyoung would be waiting for her. All the other Zanertheans were kept in tents while members of the Vesta Base were given apartments, or more like dorms for them to stay in. Chaeyoung and Tzuyu shared one apartment. 

She slowly opened the door and was met with Chaeyoung and Mina who yelled “Welcome Home”. They had prepared a mini welcome party for just the three of them. Tzuyu smiled when she saw both of them. Chaeyoung was the first to walk over to Tzuyu and engulf her in a big hug. “I’m so glad you’re safe.. I’ve been worried sick” 

“Chae I’m fine” 

Mina walked over to her when Chaeyoung had let go and gave Tzuyu a hug. “Congrats on your first mission” she smiled. 

“Thanks..” 

“Can’t believe you guys saved all those people. Can’t believe she was part of it as well. That’s crazy right? What are the odds?” Chaeyoung chuckled. Tzuyu could see that Chaeyoung was a little upset. 

“She?” Mina asked. 

“Oh you remember the ex girlfriend I told you about ? Well she was a part of the people that were held captive. Is it bad that I'm lowkey happy about that?” Chaeyoung giggled as she took a sip of her drink. Tzuyu didn’t find it funny at all. In fact she was a little annoyed. She didn’t know what all they went through. 

“Chaeyoung that’s mean” Mina said. 

“Okay okay, but I know it must’ve been awful for you to have to save her. Right Tzuyu?” 

Tzuyu just shrugged her shoulders.

“I hope they leave soon, I don’t want to ever see her again” Chaeyoung took another sip. “Mm but enough about her look” Chaeyoung changed the subject because she saw Tzuyu looking a little uncomfortable. She knew Tzuyu didn’t like the girl and she must’ve not wanted to talk about her.  “Mina even brought cake” Chaeyoung lifted the small red velvet cake on the table. The cake read Welcome Home Captain Chou. Tzuyu eyes the cake and said “But I’m not a Captain” 

“That was just my personal touch. Chaeyoung wanted it just to say Welcome Home” 

Tzuyu chuckled as she stared at the cake. “Thank you guys.. it means a lot” she pulled them both in for a hug. “I really missed both of you” 

“We missed you too” Chaeyoung said. “Hey we should invite Yukhei over to celebrate. It was his first mission too” 

Tzuyu stiffened when she mentioned his name. 

“That sounds nice” Mina said. “Are you okay with that Tzuyu?” 

Tzuyu clenched her jaw and brought her head down. 

“H-Hey what’s wrong?” Chaeyoung asked as she stood in front of Tzuyu. 

“I-It’s.. I have to tell you guys something..” 

“What is it?” 

“It’s better if I tell you along with the Captain. I don’t really want to repeat it. I was supposed to head there right after I got cleaned up but I wanted to see both of you” 

Chaeyoung and Mina were both confused but nodded. “Well we can all go right now?” 

Tzuyu nodded. The trio walked to Jihyo’s office in silence. Chaeyoung and Mina were both afraid to ask anything because Tzuyu had seemed lost in thought. When they reached the door Tzuyu gave a knock. She heard Jihyo say come in. 

“Ahh Chou, I see you’ve gotten all patched up and cleaned up” 

“Yes Captain” 

“So are you ready to tell me what exactly happened?” 

“Y-Yes. But is it alright if my two friends listen along? They were friends with SGT Wong” 

Jihyo thought for a moment, she must’ve been referring to the little SGT. “Well yes I suppose it’s fine” 

“Thank you Captain” Tzuyu said as she waved for both girls to come in. Chaeyoung saluted when she entered and Mina bowed. Jihyo told them all to take a seat. 

“So, what happened?” 

So she told them all what happened. She decided not to mention she was with Sana and Dahyun. When she had finished all of them were staring at her. They were all trying to find the right words to say but that was a lot to take in. One of her best friends and Commander of one of the greatest teams had died along with some of the base’s greatest and most skilled SGTs. A whole elite squadron, gone.. just like that. It didn’t make any sense to Jihyo. Countless times Saerom and her team have gone on more dangerous missions than this one and have come back alive in one piece. One rookie mistake from Wong cost them their life. 

“Captain, I’m sorry. I failed..” Tzuyu’s voice cracked a little, she tried really hard not to cry yet again. She didn’t want the Captain to see her cry. 

Jihyo rubbed her neck and deeply sighed. “Thank you for telling me” she stood up and looked out the window, watching as the other STGs ran around the track. “You know you’re a hero..” 

“I’m really not” 

“You are, Chou. You saved all those people all on your own. You’re a hero” 

“With all due respect Captain, I’m not” Tzuyu was getting a little agitated. She had a hard time controlling her emotions, which is why she’d keep everything bottled up. 

“Tzuyu, you are. You’re a her-“ Tzuyu slammed her fist on the desk. Which startled all three of them “I-I’m sorry..” 

“Hey” Chaeyoung stood up and hugged her, trying to calm her down. “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. You didn’t know this would happen. You did all you could don’t beat yourself up about it” 

“If only I had done more I-I could have saved them. They’d still be here if I just tried a little hard-“ Tzuyu voice cracked as tears ran down her cheeks. 

It broke Chaeyoung’s heart seeing her best friend blaming herself. Mina was silently crying while Chaeyoung's eyes were filled with tears. Jihyo just watched the interaction, feeling sad as well. She felt sad about her friend and teammates and she felt sad about Tzuyu. It was her first mission and she’s gone through so much. 

Chaeyoung wiped Tzuyu’s tears. “It’s okay, it’s okay.. you did the best you could. Some things just happen for a reason. Okay?” Tzuyu nodded. She had calmed down a little and felt a little embarrassed about crying in front of the Captain. Though she did calm down a little the memories of what happened that day would haunt her til the day she died, another thing to add to my list of failures. 

Mina rubbed circles behind her back trying to calm her down as well. “So what now?” She asked after a moment of silence. 

“I’m sorry but who are you?” Jihyo asked. 

“Oh I’m sorry Captain, but this is my girlfriend Mina. She owns the cafe down the street” Chaeyoung said as Mina stretched her hand out to Jihyo for a shake. 

Jihyo eyed the girl then eyed Chaeyoung and then shook her hand. “Pleasure” she walked back to her seat and sat down. “Well we need to contact the families immediately and tell them the news” 

“Right now? At 5 in the morning?” 

“The sooner the better. We’ll try to get a memorial going by lunch time” 

They all stayed quiet. “Well I suggest you guys go home and get some rest. I’ll inform the families myself-“ 

“No” Tzuyu said. “I’ll do it. I have to. It’s my right. I was there with them in their final moments I should do it” 

“Tzuyu you don’t-“ Chaeyoung said.

“No I need to do this. Captain, please let me do this..” 

Jihyo looked at Tzuyu, she looked a little desperate. Jihyo thought that maybe this would be a good thing for the girl. “Okay.”

Tzuyu sighed. “I’ll get right on it” she stood up and saluted as she walked out of the office. 

“Tzuyu wait!” Chaeyoung shouted. She grabbed Mina’s hand and pulled her out of the room. Then when she realized what she’d done she walked right back into the office and saluted the walked out of the office again. Jihyo just chuckled. When she was alone, she stared out the window for a few seconds and felt a few tears run down her cheek. “Lee Saerom, how could you..” she mumbled to herself. How could you leave your best friend 

Chaeyoung chased Tzuyu down while pulling Mina along. “Tzuyu wait” she said out of breathe “we’ll come with” 

“Thanks guys but you don’t have to.” 

“We want to” Mina said. Tzuyu gave her a sad smile. “Tzuyu I’m sorry I didn’t know you went through so much I’m-“ 

“It’s fine. It’s okay. I just need to tell their families the truth” Tzuyu said as she walked into their apartment and got the keys. Luckily most of their families lived in the city nearby. Jihyo went with them to pay her respect but Tzuyu was the one who told each one of them. 

She told Yiren’s girlfriend, Aisha first. Then, Wonpil’s brother, Jae. Then Taeyong’s boyfriend, Johnny. Jihyo had insisted on telling Saerom’s wife, Hayoung herself and Tzuyu agreed. Then finally, they’d tell Yukhei’s mother. Tzuyu found that one to be the hardest. 

“Ma’am I’m so sorry about your son. He and I were good friends.. he was so kind and funny and I’m really sorry” she said in tears after seeing his mother’s reaction. She was utterly devastated and Tzuyu felt horrible. 

“It’s not your fault” she said to Tzuyu after she had calmed down. She gave her a tight hug, both knowing they needed it right now. A part of Tzuyu knew she wasn’t at fault but she’d blame herself regardless. 

During the ride back, Jihyo remembered she’d gotten a report from Saerom saying that the mission was successful, so if Saerom didn’t send it then who? She asked Tzuyu about it.

“I’m not sure, it could be one of the Thions that got ahold of our ships. One of them could speak Villari really well”

“Hmm..” Jihyo thought.

After they arrived back at the base, all Tzuyu wanted to do was to go into bed and cry. But even that she couldn’t do because there was a memorial that was already set up and so she had to attend that. When she was called on stage up to speak, there wasn’t much she wanted to say. So she just said “they all died a hero and will remain in our hearts forever. Thank you for your service” she said as she looked up to the sky, hoping somewhere they would receive her message. 

Tzuyu didn’t stick around that much after the memorial had finished. She told Chaeyoung she’d go for a walk but she went home instead. She cried and cried for what felt like hours until she finally drifted off to sleep. 

She woke up when she heard a noise outside, in the kitchen. “Chae is that you?” She asked as she got out of the bed and went to the kitchen. She froze when she saw Sana standing there with a plate of food in her hands. 

“Sana? Wh-what are you doing here?” 

Sana was a little embarrassed. “I was trying to look for you after the memorial. I was worried about you” she said in a small voice. “I brought you food”

“Who-how did you know this was my apartment?”

“Elkie kinda showed me the way.. “ 

“Oh” Tzuyu looked towards the door thinking that maybe they should change their passcode. 

“Have you eaten?” 

“No it’s fine. I’m not hungry but thank you, Sana” 

The atmosphere was a little awkward and Sana felt a little stupid for coming here. She’d noticed the bags under her eyes. She was worried about the girl. Not only about her shoulder but about her mental health as well. Though she didn’t want to impose on her so she said “I’m just going to go..” 

It would be the best decision for her to go but Tzuyu didn’t want her to leave, not just yet. She wanted the girl to stay for some reason. “No it’s okay. You don’t have to do that” 

“It looks like I just woke you up from your sleep, I’m sorry” 

“No it’s okay. I can’t really sleep”  

“I’m sorry..” 

“Stop saying sorry..” she smiled. God knows she’s heard and said that too much today. 

“Are you okay?” Sana asked a bit worriedly. 

“Yeah I’m fine” Tzuyu looked at her. They stared at each other for a few seconds until Sana noticed Tzuyu’s bandages were leaking. “Oh do you have any bandages? We need to get it changed?” 

“Huh?” She turned to look at her shoulder, some blood had stained her shirt. “Man.. this  is a new shirt” 

“Where’s your medic box?”

“Uh it’s in the bathroom under the sink” Tzuyu pointed into the direction of the bathroom. The little apartment wasn’t big but Sana noticed that there were two bedrooms. She found the bathroom and the box. She went back to the living room but Tzuyu was gone. 

“Tzuyu?” 

“In here” she heard her say. She followed the voice and entered her room. It was a plain little room. There was a keyboard at the corner. 

“Oh so you play?” 

Tzuyu looked at where she’d been pointing at. “Oh yeah. I’m not that great though” 

“I’d love to hear you play some time” 

“Well when my shoulder heals then maybe I’ll play for you” 

Sana smiled and said “I’d like that”

Tzuyu returned her smile. 

Sana cleared her throat and said “Okay, take off your shirt”

“Uhh what?” Tzuyu said.

“So I can put new bandages on?” Sana said as she held the roll of bandages in her hand. 

“N-No it’s fine you don’t hav-“ 

“Tzuyu c’mon” 

Tzuyu was reluctant to do so but she caved in. Sana watched as she struggled to take off her shirt. “Need some help?” She didn’t give Tzuyu a chance to reply before she started to help the latter take off her shirt. Tzuyu sat still wearing only her sports bra and sweatpants. Sana tried her best not to eye her body too much, she then sat beside her and unwrapped the bandage carefully. She applied some medicine on it which made Tzuyu wince a little and flinch in pain. 

“Does it hurt?”

“Not all that much. I’m fine” 

Sana then grabbed the bandage roll and started wrapping it around the latter’s shoulder. Tzuyu watched as Sana furrowed her brows in concentration. Sana was so delicate with the way she had been carefully treating her so as to not hurt her. Tzuyu could smell the faint jasmine scent coming from her hair. She studied her face yet again taking all the details in- 

“There. All done” Sana smiled. 

“O-Oh yeah thanks for that” 

Sana started putting the things back in the box. “You should change it more often, you don’t want to get infected and ruin any more shirts” She pointed at the blood stained shirt on the floor. 

“Right” Tzuyu awkwardly chuckled as she scratched the back of her neck.

Sana’s eyes landed on the symbol on Tzuyu’s abdomen. She then remembered about a certain purple haired Thions that she missed dearly. Tzuyu seemed to have noticed what she’d been looking at before she said “I promised Dahyun I’d go back for her and I will. But I’m not sure Captain Park will let me do it” 

“Why is that?” Sana furrowed her brows.

“I need a ship to get there. Just think about it-why would she let me use a ship to go and endanger my life just save a Thions..” she rubbed her forehead. “She won’t let me do it.. and it’s not just Dahyun I want to save. That whole planet is fucked. They’re keeping all those species from different planets enslaving them  in there. It doesn’t sit right with me. We need to do something” 

Sana was looking at her in awe. She felt determined to save them as well, her priority had been on Dahyun solely but now she agreed with Tzuyu, they had to do something. “You’re right. But what can we do?” 

“I guess I can try and talk to the Captain tomorrow” 

“Sounds good. I’ll come with you for back up” Sana smiled.

Tzuyu chuckled. “Sounds good” 

They were so close together and both were staring at each other yet again. Slowly, Tzuyu started leaning in. When their lips met it was gentle, just like the kiss back in the cave. Sana kissed Tzuyu back lightly, it was so soft and sweet. Their lips danced together as Tzuyu put her hand around Sana’s waist. Tzuyu softly bit her lip for entrance, now deepening the kiss. Kissing Sana is so addicting.. Sana felt a feeling building up in her stomach. She wanted more.

Chaeyoung had been at Mina’s apartment. They were cuddling until she decided she should sleep with Tzuyu tonight. She figured she must be having a rough time right. She borrowed Mina’s medicine box because she thought that Tzuyu might need help with her bandages and she was not sure if they had any at home. She kissed Mina goodnight and went back to their apartment. 

She opened the door and figured Tzuyu was in her room since she saw the light on. 

“Hey Tzu are you in-“ She stopped in her tracks as she witnessed Sana and Tzuyu making out. She threw the medic box on the floor. Both Tzuyu and Sana were startled by the noise as they watched Chaeyoung storm off. None of them had heard her come in. Fuck 

“Chae! Wait” Tzuyu groaned as she stood up too quickly and chased after her, leaving Sana behind. 

“Chaeyoung wait” Tzuyu said as she tried to catch up to the girl. “Please can we talk about this” 

Chaeyoung stopped and turned around. “I can’t believe you” she said in a low voice.

“It’s not what you think I-“ 

“Not what I think? What else could it be? Here I was worrying sick about you while you were off fucking my ex-girlfriend” 

Tzuyu cringed when she heard Chaeyoung raise her voice. “W-we didn’t. Please listen-“ 

“You know how much pain she caused me.. you were there. You saw it all and yet you betray me like this?” She angrily pointed towards the room “you fraternize yourself with the enemy?!” 

Tzuyu furrowed her brows. She didn't like Chaeyoung referring to her like she’s evil.   “She’s not some enemy okay she’s not a monster she’s really kin-“ 

“And now you’re defending her” Chaeyoung scoffed. “You know I thought you hated her. I thought you both hated each other but I guess that was a fucking lie. All those years back in high school, all the fighting.. I should’ve known it.. I’m such an idiot” 

“No you’re not. I didn’t like her back then well maybe for like about a week” as the words left her mouth she regretted it.Why the fuck did I just admit that. Fuck Tzuyu why are you so fucking stupid! 

Chaeyoung widened her eyes. “Oh, so all this while you’ve secretly been in love with her and you were just waiting for an opportunity to finally be with her?” She bitterly chuckled. “This is all starting to make sense now” 

“No. That’s not what I meant. You’ve got it all wrong-“ 

“Oh save it” she put a hand up to silence the younger girl. “I trusted you. You’re my best friend, we’re practically sisters.. h-how? How could you do this to me? Why would you.. you can have any other girl in the universe but why her? Why’d you choose her?” 

“I-I-I don’t know I just-it just happe-“ Tzuyu tried walking closer to the girl but chaeyoung shook her head and took a step back. “Don’t.” 

“Chaeyoung please I’m sorry I-“ 

“No. You broke the girl code.. You know what Tzuyu? Fuck you” she said angrily as she stormed off. Tzuyu wanted to chase after her but Chaeyoung was too quick and she figured she should give her some time and space to cool off. 

I really fucked up.. Tzuyu groaned, not only was her shoulder starting to hurt again but now she had a massive headache. She slowly walked back to the room, she figured Chaeyoung would be staying at Mina’s. 

“Hey is everything okay?” Sana had been sitting on Tzuyu’s bed waiting for her to return. 

Tzuyu sighed. “Sana l can’t do this right now” 

“R-Right” Sana noticed Tzuyu looking really exhausted and figured it’d be best to let her get some rest. Hopefully they’d talk about things tomorrow. Hopefully, I can sort things out with Chaeyoung too..

Sana sat up and moved towards the door. “Goodnight Tzuyu” she said while Tzuyu was already under the covers, she waited a few seconds for a reply but received none. She closed the door and went back to her tent. 

Tzuyu barely slept that night. She thought about what all had happened today. She had to personally tell F9’s family that their loved ones were gone, she had a huge fight with Chaeyoung and Sana.. she thought about her feelings for Sana. Surely she wasn’t in love with her but there was something about the girl that Tzuyu found so irresistible. She wanted to be next to Sana at all times, she needed to see Sana around her to make sure she’s safe..

She wanted Sana to be here with her right now but instead she kicked her out. She felt guilty about these feelings for Sana and she didn’t know what to do. 

Elkie woke her up way too early. Elkie has gone to check on her to see how she’s doing. It was already lunch time and she knew how much of an early bird Tzuyu was, so when she didn’t see her around she got worried. She initially asked Sana about her but Sana kinda shrugged her off. She wondered what was going on between them. So she went to Tzuyu's apartment and her room and opened her  curtain and window for her. 

Tzuyu groaned when she felt the blinding light coming from the window. 

“Come on Tzuyu wakey wakey” 

“Elkie what the fuck. Why are you here?” 

“Oh come on I came here to check on you” 

“Well I’m fine. So can you please let me sleep” 

“Nope” she removed the blanket from her “C’mon I made you breakfast” 

Tzuyu groaned but eventually walked out and sat at the table. 

“Here. Your breakfast” Elkie said as she set the bowl down in front of her. 

Tzuyu stared at the bowl of cereal in front of her. “Cereal? You made me cereal?” 

Elkie rolled her eyes. “Don’t blame me it’s all you guys have in the kitchen okay. One stale cereal box and a half empty carton on milk. You know you really should do some grocery shopping” well it made sense there wouldn’t be that many groceries because Chaeyoung spent most of her time at Mina’s so Tzuyu was alone most of the time. 

“Hey that’s a great idea for a date. You and Sana should go grocery shopping” 

Tzuyu almost choked on her stale cereal. “Date?”

“You need to eat more carefully, you’re always choking” Elkie said as she handed her a napkin. “Besides don’t you guys like each other?” 

“No” 

Elkie gave her a look. 

“Okay I don’t know okay? But I can’t be with her” 

“Well why not?” 

Tzuyu sighed. She’s Chaeyoung’s ex girlfriend” 

“Oh.. yikes” Elkie found it a little amusing. 

“You're not helping. Anyways I don’t want to talk about it. I have some stuff I need to do” Tzuyu said as she got up. 

“Oh where to? I’ll come with” 

“No you won’t. I need to Chaeyoung because she’s mad at me and then I gotta talk to Sana and then the Captain” 

“Wait why’s Chaeyoung mad at you?” 

“Well she kinda caught Sana and I…” 

Elkie gasped “Fucking?” 

Tzuyu shook her head. “No! We were just making out” 

“Ohhh big yikes” 

“You’re seriously not helping” she said as she walked towards the shower. She thought about what she’d say to Chaeyoung when they meet then she thought about what she’d say to Sana and then to the Captain. After the shower she got dressed and basically forced Elkie out of her apartment and to not follow her. 

The first place she thought Chaeyoung would be was at the cafe. She knew Chaeyoung was already finished with practice and she’d spend her time at the cafe whenever she could. As she entered she saw Mina wiping cups. 

“Mina! Mina where’s Chaeyoung I really need to talk to her” 

“Tzuyu I really don’t think you should be in here right now” 

“Why? Mina please I just need to talk to her. Where is she?” 

“I’m sorry Tzuyu, but now’s not a good time. She really doesn’t want to talk to you and frankly I understand why” 

“Are you mad at me too?” Tzuyu asked. 

“I don’t know but what you did really hurt her you know..” Mina lowered her eyes. “Just give her some space to cool off. Okay?” 

Tzuyu sighed. “Okay. But can you just please tell her I’m sorry. Please?” 

Mina could not resist Tzuyu’s pleading so she just nodded and said “I’ll tell her” 

Tzuyu gave her a half smile and walked out of the cafe. Well that was a failure

Now she had to talk to Sana. Which she’d been dreading to do. She went back to the base and went to the tent that she and Momo had been assigned to but it was empty. She walked around the base and there was no sign of her so she decided to check the cafeteria. Her eyes scanned the room until it fell on a certain orange haired girl. She felt her heart started beating rapidly. What is this nervousness? Come on Tzuyu you can do this

She felt someone elbow her and saw Elkie looking at her. “Careful, Lisa might snatch away your girlfriend..” she sneered. 

“She’s not my girlfriend and what are you talking about?” Tzuyu hasn’t noticed that Sana was talking with someone, and by that someone it was Lisa. Lisa was known as a player and she’d flirt with any girl she laid eyes on and Tzuyu knows she must be throwing her cheesy lines at Sana right now. She couldn’t stand Lisa at all, she was a bit rude and obnoxious and she’d pester Tzuyu around whenever she saw her.

“Ah someone’s a little jealous” Elkie smirked.

“I’m not jealous” 

“Sure” Ellie giggles. “You better make your move before she really snatches her away” Elkie teased as she walked away to sit with Momo. 

Tzuyu scoffed. I’m not jealous. She watched as Sana laughed at whatever corny joke Lisa was saying. I’m not jealous at all. She watched as Lisa scooted closer to the orange haired girl. Nope, not jealous at all. She watched as Lisa put her hand on Sana’s shoulder. Okay that’s it. 

Tzuyu walked towards the two. Elkie smirked as she watched Tzuyu approach the two. 

-

“S-Sir please… please” Gork was on his knees begging for mercy. 

“You let them get away. You and your men let all the humans escape” Chido scoffed. “Outsmarted my puny humans. Not to mention only two Cirgaxes survived. So much damage.. Klanta will not be please” 

“Th-then you don’t have to tell him please. I’ll take the punishment but don’t tell him please” 

“You fool. Not only is it going to cost you but me as well. Klanta already knows for he sees all” he said as he pushed the button. All that was heard were sounds of electricity and Gork’s screams of agony.
