Revenge isn't sweet enough.

Kanako Febuggure, soon to be Harris, lay on a medibed in the Blue
Dwarf medical bay, under the hands of the most skilled surgeon on the
ship. Unfortunately, this happens to be Keto....
"I'm not sure theres anything i can do... " He said, checking the
scans....
*meanwhile*
Chris lay sprawled out on the sofa in his quarters. Immediately on
returning from the mission, despite the fact his fiance was gravely
injured and he had intended to go and visit her after freshening up,
he had fallen asleep, the toil of the past four days growing on him
every moment, like an untreated fungus. So he lay there, in a restless
sleep.
In Chris' mind, adrenaline forced him into the dream world...
Wandering towards a restaurant, a woman in his arms. He could hear
himself, see her.. but he couldn't do anything but watch it unfold
before him.
"Sophie, its my turn to pay... put that away" he said, putting her
purse back into her bag.
Chris took his credit card and passed it to the waiter who accepted it
happily and disappeared, only to return moments later with a receipt
and the credit card. Chris signed the receipt and passed it back to
the waiter. He took Sophie's hand and together they walked out of the
restauraunt.
As they left, unbeknownst to them, a man in the building opposite,
nothing but a long thin black tube poking out of the wondow could be
seen. Before a loud bang was heard, and Sophie fell to the floor...
Chris dropped to his knees and surveyed his wife, blood pouring out of
her chest. Chris lifted her gently, stroking her hair and telling her
that everything was going to be alright. He began to reach for his
phone to call an ambulance, then it hit him. She didnt reply, she
didn't move a muscle...She was dead.
he couldn't even bring himself to say anything, he hugged her body,
tears flowing down his cheeks. Luckily for him he didn't have to
relive this nightmare much more, as the screen in his room burst to
life, with Melissa at it. "Dad! come quick!" she called, waking Chris
up suddenly.
"What, What is it 'Lissa?" he asked, trying to sit up and falling off
the sofa.
"Quickly! get up here, She's dying!!" she said, although Melissa
didn't know her very well, she was still crying, knowing how much it
would hurt Chris if she died...
"YOU WHAT!?!?!" shouted Chris at the screen.
"Kanako, she's dying" repeated Melissa, "And not that it matters not
but Jay's left the dwarf and joined the Hymenoptera". She would've
continued but she then realised that she was talking to an empty room
as Chris was already half way to the medi-bay, sprinting as fast as he
could.
He appeared at the door, panting heavily, and stumbled up to Kanako's
side, and held her hand. Keto had filled her with enough painkillers
so she wouldn't notice if her leg had been torn off... She looked up
at Chris, a tear forming in her eye. "i love you..." she said softly.
"I love you too" he replied, holding back his tears as her hand lost
it's grip on his, and the quiet noise of her breathing slowly began to
quieten, until the only noise in the room was Chris' sobbing. He clung
on to her as she died, hoping against hope that her death would not
become reality.
Jacks hand appeard on his shoulder, he was crying too... "dude....
revenge was sweet" he said, knowing the ones that killed her had
already been wiped off the face of the universe.
"Not half as sweet as it would've been if Jay had remained, she might
be alive then" he said, the anger growing in his voice.
"Dude, lets go after Jay, make him see sense" Jack said, then turned
and pointed to the door. "you coming?" he asked, turning back to Chris.
"I'm coming alright" he said in a determined voice, his right hand
clutching his GunBlade.
Chris and jack ran down to a hangar to take a starbug, launching with
a quick message to alota to the effect of "be back soon, taking jay down".
Soon, with chris at the helm, they were off into the big black, seeing
Jay's Hymenoptera ship in the distance.
