First Get

[not-genki-desu.livejournal.com]

[After dropping Benkei off in the hospital on the Tower, Kei is... fuming.  All those people dead and her own hesitation damn near killed her father.  But she couldn't honestly be expected to kill those guys... right?]

All of that...

Why'd they have to die... Why was Getter Robo there in the first place?

...I'm sorry but it was something that we needed to do.

[not-genki-desu.livejournal.com]

[She sighed wearily.]

Yeah. But just...

Something like that can take you by surprise. And the guy in the black Getter, he was so ruthless...

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

I know but if he didn't arrive we could have lost both the Getter and everyone inside.

[She huffed angrily.]

I could have... pops was in danger. I could have gotten my act together! It just shocked me is all.

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

If you say so. I'm in no position to question what you would have done...

Ichitaka by the way.

[not-genki-desu.livejournal.com]

Kei. Kei Kuruma. It's nice to meet you, Ichitaka.

And... hopefully I won't choke like that again. If I want to use the Getter again, I won't get another chance.

Don't worry I believe you, if a regular civvy like me could adjust I'm sure you out of all people can.

You weren't doing those people a favor.


[Sugar-coating? Tact? Bringing up the issue gradually? Meh.]

[not-genki-desu.livejournal.com]

[Surprise surprise! The guy who killed all those people is saying it bluntly.]

Yeah. I know that now.

But what do you expect ofme... that's the first time I've seen something like that! I can't just up and kill them when they're shouting for help...

... It... still was the right thing to do, wasn't it?

If it was your first fight, then fine. But if you wanna survive fighting Invaders, you have a lot to learn, fast.

[not-genki-desu.livejournal.com]

... Fine.

This is the kind of stuff pops had to handle before, right? If he could do it, then I can. I'm sure of it.

[getter-guts.livejournal.com]

Heh, I like you. You sound like you have what it takes.

[not-genki-desu.livejournal.com]

[Kei can't help but smile a little.]

You should have seen me out there before. I was taking down Invaders with a handheld rocket launcher.

[getter-guts.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's a few more points. Taking them on with normal weapons and still being alive.

[Had not been on the mission, but like always he had attentively reviewed the AARs.]

Its the reality of the world. Not everyone can be saved, and everyone has to die some time.

From what little information there is on the Invaders those people may as well have already been dead, even if they did not sound like it.
