NECRO-Driver Dawn EP 7: Matters of Trust

(Meanwhile, aboard the Blitzwing… stop playing the song)

Khan: Sonjo, is everything ready?

Sonjo: Yeah, we just need to choose when and where to start.

Khan: Good. I don't know how much assistance or resistance we'll get, but we have to do this.

Sonjo: Yeah, we have to get Jin back!

*Someone knocks on the door, and then enters*

Alex: Don't mind me guys, I'm just bringing the meals for everybody today. *Hands Sonjo and Khan a tray of food*

Sonjo: Thanks.

Alex: *Looks over at the wall and notices something* What've you got there? (Play Kingdom Hearts 2.5 remix- Organization 13 Theme)

Sonjo: I don't know if we should tell you.

Khan: Yeah, how do we know you're not in cahoots with Baron and them?

Alex: Oh c'mon guys! I thought you would've at least trusted some of us by now.

Khan: Trust is hard to gain, and easily lost.

Sonjo: Baron and them have double crossed us too many times now. You'll have to forgive us if we aren't so willing to trust anybody.

Alex: Fine I get it. Ya know, not everyone on here is heartless like Ja'Skaar and C. I had thought you could've at least given some of us the benefit of the doubt. *Leaves room*

Khan: *Grunts* Hmmmm…

Sonjo: What's wrong Khan?

Khan: This whole thing is a complete waste of time. Why are we even here?

Sonjo: *Trying to lighten the mood a bit* You know why Khan, we have to fight for the sake of the planet.

Khan: *Annoyed* But if the planet is to be full of people, and there are people just like this, is it even worth fighting for at this point?

Sonjo: I- *Exasperated sigh* I get what you're saying. People just love to create misery for other people. It's something that I don't think can ever change or be understood.

Khan: *Exasperated sigh* When we rescue Jin, he'd better be alive. I'll have to get him back for his constant believing in others when he has no reason too.

Sonjo: *Laughs* Well he is rather useless without us. What's that thing he always says, "You can do anything if you believe"?

Khan: Honestly I don't even know if he actually means it. I just know it annoys me when he says it.

Sonjo: Don't worry. When we get him back, you can tell him all about it.

(There's more knocks on the door, and then they are told they can enter. Stop playing the song)

Fadra: Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting.

Khan: Fadra? What are you doing here? *He gasps as he sees Kira, Zach, and Alex entering the room as well.

Kira: Sorry, we hope you don't mind if all of us come in.

Khan: I don't get it, why did all of you come here?

Zach: Fadra told us about your plan to rescue Jin. We came here because we want to help.

Khan: *Annoyingly confused* Fadra?! But how? We haven't even told anyone about it yet!

Sonjo: *Chuckles nervously* Yeah… About that… I kinda accidentally told her not too long ago.

Khan: WHAT?! Sonjo, you know no one was supposed to know about that until we were ready to tell everyone. How the hell did you do that?

Sonjo: Wellll…

(Rewinding back to right after Sonjo and Khan sent Jin away to the Principality. Play Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep -Aqua- Extended [Redux])

Sonjo: Ya know, somehow I can't help but feel like all of this could've been avoided.

Khan: That's because a lot of this could've been avoided. Baron, C, Ja'Skaar, all their selfishness has caused so many problems for us.

Sonjo: I thought that it couldn't get any worse after we lost Skia'. I will never make such an assumption again.

Khan: Well I don't know about you, but I have had it with them. I'm going after him as soon as I can.

Sonjo: *Talks with surprise* Are you crazy? You'd be outnumbered by a ton! Even if I were to join you, do you still think we could get him back by ourselves?

Khan: Honestly, with the way things have been going, I'd say we have a better chance of surviving on our own then we do here. It's nothing personal, I'm just in an extremely bad mood.

Sonjo: You're gonna go even if I don't aren't you?

Khan: *Smirks* Of course!

Sonjo: *Sigh* Well if we're gonna try to rescue him, then we're gonna need a solid plan. Let's at least come up with one first.

Khan: Right. Let's meet back in my room, we can figure it out.

Sonjo: You go ahead, I have something I need to do first.

Khan: Alright, I'll meet you there.

(Khan leaves and heads back to his room. A little while later, Sonjo is heading down the hall to his room, and is visibly concerned)

Sonjo: *Upset groan* Damn, how did it ever come to this? Huh? *He notices Fadra walking down the hall upset as well*

Fadra: Oh, hi Sonjo. Is everything alright?

Sonjo: I could ask you the same thing, you look upset about something.

Fadra: A little yeah… *Holds arm* Listen Sonjo, I wanna apologize for not doing a better job for Jin. I can't help but shake the feeling that I'm partially to blame for not helping him out more.

Sonjo: *Slowly shifts from being upset to daydreaming about Fadra. He gets lost staring at her beautiful eyes and her naturally flowing hair*

Fadra: All of this is my fault. If I had been a better medic, then maybe he wouldn't have been taken away.

Sonjo: *Begins to get full of guilt listening to the sincere apology* Don't worry about it-

Fadra: No but I AM worried. You guys lost your best friend, and I feel like it's my fault. I… I want to help make things right.

Sonjo: *Explodes with guilt and blurts out something he shouldn't have* KHAN AND I ARE MAKING A PLAN TO SAVE JIN! *He covers his mouth but it's TOO late*

Fadra: *Gasp with confusion* You what?

Sonjo: *Realizes he screwed up* Look Fadra, I'd really appreciate it if you kept this secret. Khan and I don't want anyone knowing until we're ready.

Fadra: But Sonjo, you know that we wouldn't do anything to hurt you or anyone on board. Some of us even felt betrayed by the actions of Ja'Skaar and C. Why wouldn't you want us to know about it when we could help you?

Sonjo: *More serious look* Because we don't know if we can really trust any of you. Jin is our friend, and we can't allow any questions of trust to stop us from doing What's needed. It's our responsibility to save him, we have no choice.

Fadra: *Concerned look* But Sonjo, surely you know that not everyone would do such things to someone, especially not on this ship. We're all partly to blame for his capture, let us help you.

Sonjo: Sorry, but this is our responsibility. We've already lost one friend, I'll be damned if we lose another and don't have a say in it. *Walks off towards Khan's room.*

Fadra: *Concerned look* But if they go by themselves they'll die. This is all my fault… I have to help them right this wrong, and I'll get everyone else to help too.

(Back to the present time… Stop playing the song)

Sonjo: Yeah uhh not exactly my best moment. *Nervous chuckle*

Khan: *Exasperated sigh* You really can be an idiot sometimes.

Sonjo: HEY! You weren't the one charmed by good looks and racked with guilt.

Khan: That is a sorry excuse. I've seen her multiple times, and not once have I been charmed by looks.

Fadra: *Annoyed look* I'm right here…

Khan: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. So that explains why you're here, but how did you get everyone else to join?

Kira: Well, she asked me and Zach to join.

Alex: I overheard their conversation, and decided that you guys could probably use the help.

Khan: So then, who else knows about our plan?

Fadra: Everyone else, I'm afraid.

Khan: *Gaps with shock and anger* FADRA!

Sonjo: *Disappointed look* How could you? I asked you not to tell anyone!

Fadra: Well Sonjo; if we want to be honest, you wouldn't have had to worry about that had you not told anyone.

Alex: Gotta admit, she has a point there.

Khan: So Baron, Ja'Skaar, and C know huh? *Grunts silently and angrily*

Kira: Don't worry, we have a plan to keep them from ruining things for you.

Sonjo: How'd you manage that?

Zach: Well, we originally went up to them for help, but then we realized that was a terrible idea.

Alex: So we told Ja'Skaar that if she helped we'd give her all the cookies in the world. And if she didn't want to help, she should just stay out of it. We'd give her cookies to stay out, and she seemed to be in a good mood afterwards.

Kira: Baron seemed a bit more eager to help, I guess he just goes wherever he thinks there will be drama.

Fadra: I tried to convince C to help, but he still seems concerned and shaken up by something. He refused to lend any help whatsoever.

Kira: Capt. Maeko on the other hand was more than willing to help.

Khan: Is that so? Well then, I'll go over the plan with everyone.

(There are knocks on the door and everyone wonders who it could be. They welcome Capt. Maeko in, but are very much surprised to see that Baron and Roux is right behind him as well)

Fadra: *Shocked* Roux?

Khan: What are you doing here?

Roux: I repay my debts.

Sonjo: *Smirks* Mmmmmm! So you owe him? And I wonder just what it is he's owed.

Roux: *Angrily pulls out a knife*

Sonjo: *Sees the knife and then backs off immediately*

Khan: *Chuckles* Well then if everyone is here, let's go over the plan.

*They go over the plan and Khan and Sonjo explain all the intricacies of the plan.*
