Entry 1 – Boobytrap
Entry Date: January 21 2014
Entry Name: Kenji Takeda
My name is Kenji Takeda. I’ve never been one to talk about my life. However my doctor said talking about the events that has happen to me will help me heal. I guess I should start from the beginning. *Sighs* this won’t be easy. Here we go.
The year was 2009 A.D. This was the year that forever changed my life and the citizens of Macross Island. It was suppose to be a glorious day. The city was full of excitement, because the Super Dimension Fortress or SDF-1 was going to be launched. The SDF-1 landed on earth during the world wars in 1999. This event immediately ended all wars and mankind banded together to repair the ship. It took approximately ten years to repair the ship. In the month of February 2009 the SDF-1 was going to launch. Needless to say I was ecstatic and I wanted to see this historic event. School was closed for the day, so students can go watch the launch. My friends Shiro Sato, Yoshi Mori and my girlfriend Rika Takahashi all decided to see the Aero Acrobatics show. The show started off with a pilot named Roy Fokker explaining something called Robotech Technology. The sun was out. I had Rika on my arm and my two best friends by my side. Nothing could ruin this day. Roy Fokker approaches the stage and began explaining as the pilots flew.
“Today you’ll see how we applied human know how to a complex alien technology. Keep your eyes on planes two and four, flying at speeds at 800 miles per hour. Only fifty feet above the ground they will pass just a few yards of each other. Robotech technology makes such precision possible.” Fokker explained.
I can’t begin to explain my amazement seeing those planes fly so dangerously. It’s something you had to see for yourself. As the planes were flying there was an interruption. A smaller plane flew into the show. Fokker was pissed you can see it on his face.
“RICK! Is that you Rick Hunter? Are you crazy? Get that junk heap out of here! Hunter when I get my hands on you…” Fokker yelled.
The pilot was better than the Robotech pilots. He took his little jet and flew vertical towards the sky pass the other pilots. I know a little about planes, but what he did was a simple booster climb. I know this because my dad is a mechanic and he worked on some of the Robotech planes. Dad will always talk about terms I didn’t understand such as, Veritechs, Guardians and more.
Anyway after the show Rika and I decided to go to a nice Chinese restaurant to get some food. Shiro and Yoshi went home. Rika and I sat down and ordered some Chow Mien. I tell you there is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with Rika. She is everything I could ask for in a girl. Rika has beautiful long black hair, brown eyes, and the cutest face that would give Jan Morris a run for her money. Her smile can make any rainy day sunny. I was really lucky to have her. I’m not bad myself I’m 5’7 around 155 lbs, spiky black hair and brown eyes. Our food arrived and we started talking about our plans.
“Why don’t you want to follow your father’s path as a mechanic? You seem to be a little curious about these planes he works on.” Rika said.
“I don’t have a passion for it Rika. We’ve been through this before. I want to do something that I’ am passionate about. Why spend your entire life doing something you don’t want to do? That’s the main problem with this world Rika. Many people go through life not following they’re dreams.” I replied.
Rika smiled at me and took a bite of her Chow Mien. She placed her hands on mine, and then gave me that smile. It was the smile that made me fall in love. I lean into her and gave her kiss. As we kiss the ground shook and we heard a large boom. The boom was so loud that I fell out of my chair. Gunfire can be heard all over.
“What is that Kenji?” Rika asked.
“Stay here I’m going to check it out.” I said.
I don’t know what I was thinking at the moment. I just knew I had to see what was going on. I ran outside and gazed up into the sky and there I saw it. The most horrible sight a human being can witness. I saw war. We were under attack and the SDF-1 had deployed all of the fighters. I couldn’t move. I was in total shock. Rika came outside and grabbed my hand tightly.
“Kenji we have to get out of here! Kenji please!” Rika pleaded.
I finally snapped out of it. That’s when I heard a large boom. One of the fighters had been shot down. It was heading straight towards us. I grabbed Rika and ran into the nearest building. We took cover under a table and hugged each other.
“Kenji if we don’t make it out of here. I just want to say I love you.” Rika cried.
“Don’t say that Rika. We will make it out of here.” I said.
The fighter crashed right into the roof of the building causing a huge explosion. The building started to shake and all I can hear was Rika screaming as we fell down to the basement floor. Trapped, we were trapped under debris. It was dark and I couldn’t see anything. Lucky I felt something like a flashlight near my right hand. I took it and turn it on. Thankfully the only thing I was trapped under was a table on my foot. I quickly use my free leg and body to get the table off. I was breathing heavy. Where was Rika?
“Rika! Rika! Rika say something if you can hear me.” I screamed.
I search around the area with no sign of Rika. Could she be unconscious? I walked around the basement illuminating the light everywhere. I came across some debris with some of Rika’s clothing. I started quickly removing some debris. What I saw is something I will never forget. Rika’s hand was sticking out of the debris. I grabbed the hand to pull her body out, but there was no body. Only the hand was found.
“Rika! Rika! No! Why? SOMEBODY HELP ME! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? HELP!” I cried but no one can hear me.
Minutes felt like hours as I held Rika’s hand close to my heart, I cried for my love. It seemed that my end will be near. Then another crashed came, the impact open a hole in the basement. Sunlight I could see sunlight. I look back on more time at Rika’s death site. I took the flashlight and followed my way outside. Outside was pure destruction, you can hear cries for help, children looking for their parents and smell death. I look around and a huge giant robot was standing over me. What was my dad working on? What was happening to the world? These questions and revenge is what I wanted now. That fateful February day my life was over.
