Everflame (Finished)

[KittKat chunky~]

Kate lead her marines down the gangway, she slid one paw down the back of her khaki trousers, the reassuring touch of the small pistol brought a feeling of safety to her... even if it was only for a few seconds....

"Sir? Whats going on sir?"

Kate looked back over her shoulder to see Kitt walking behind her, his voice was wavering slightly... she had always known he was a good fighter... but he was too young.... sighing she gave a halfhearted smile before looking back ahead..
"Whatever happens marine... we'l pull through... we marines always pull through... remember that.."
Kitt nodded as a soldier shoved them forwards again...
"Hoorah to that sir..."
Kate growled to herself, looking up at the soldiers and officer.... she had never enjoyed lying...

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Howl grabbed Asia's punch, then went to hit Asia's gut with is free hand.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The soldiers led them onwards to a small entrance to the large metallic hangar. It opened with a squeel, revealing a dead steel corridor, grey and grim, leading downwards. THe prisoners were led through, and as a door passed, one of them was pulled away and dragged inside.



Asia caught Howl's punch, and yanked both hands down, pulling the wolf with it. He used the pull to leap up with a high and powerful nee, rocketing to Howls lowered head.

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Asia's knee was coming right towards Howl, and once again, he couldn't do a single thing about it. His knee hit him right in the nose, and from the impact of it he let go of Asia's hand and fell to the ground. An overwhelming feeling of pain ran through his head, Howl's nose was bleeding by that point, yet he got back up without saying a word and readied for another attack.

Korius chuckled at the spectacle. It was truly enjoyable and he clapped. However, all was cut short as the alarms of Vee went crazy. He quickly ran into the bridge, his hands, again, flying the controls. They then left the jump into sub-space and it was an asteroid field, but according to the charts, there shouldn't be any. Korius ran the scanners over and over again, finally, a visual told everything. They were in a grave of ships. All of them still sparked, meaning they were here in whole pieces only moments prior.

[KittKat chunky~]

The prisoners continued to walk down the corridor, forced to look dead ahead no-one noticed the last in line being dragged off silently.... a soldier shoved the next in line to get him or her walking faster as the prisoners footsteps echoed down the corridor....

Kate walked at the head of the group, followed by Kitt... Behind him walked Annie, a young vixen the same age as Kitt, and behind her the Wolf private who had recently been added to the marine squad...

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

Howl looked to Asia and raised and frowned, "This could only mean something bad." He followed Korius and looked at the Korius, covering his bleeding nose. "What is it?!"

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Asia and Tabby walked along behind the wolves, and stood agape at the sight.
"What the hell," said Tabby. "That's insane. I ain't never seen anythin' like that." She stood beside Korius and stared at the screen. Asia frowned, and looked back to his room, then to Howl, seeing his bleeding nose.
"Are you alright?" he said.




On the GA Demolition, each prisoner was soon pulled off. Tina barely made a noise as she was herded into a unlit room, the door closed behind her. Max soon followed into the next door. The young wolf private after that, then Annie, then finally Kitt. There were only a few soldiers with Kate left in the corridor. They carried on walking, and at the end was thick black door. It groaned as a soldier pulled it open, and the Marine was grabbed from behind, pushing her forward into the darkened room. They pushed her in, making her stumble forward, hitting a table with her thighs. The door closed behind her, and a light in the ceiling slowly began to glow before flicking fully on. It was a harsh light, and showed the small box of a room. The table was small, sharp and unadorned. There were three chairs, all on one side.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kate listened as each marine behind her was pulled off into separate rooms... she didn't turn around until she was pushed roughly into the final room... looking around the small room she straightened up after knocking into the table, keeping her cool she slid her arms behind her back in the typical 'at attention' position....

only a single bead of sweat and the occasional flick of her long feline tail gave away her true nervousness... a nervousness that even the grip weight of a gun wouldn't have removed...

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius ran his hands through the controls, switching the monitor to several different scanners. "It looks like quite a large number of downed cruisers. They were destroyed recently, but they're so many of them and so mangled, I can't tell what class they are. I can't even find any identifying insignias or emblems. Asia! Mind helping me out here!? Tell me what we're seeing because I've never seen anything this big. I do espionage, not war."

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The officer stepped into the room, backed by two of the soldiers, armed to the teeth. The closed behind them and sat on the three chairs.
"So, what got a soldier like you to hide a mass murderer?"




Amidst the wreckage of the cruisers, Asia searched over the readouts.
"There's nothing here... no traces of laser fire, so it could have been a ridiculous collision. It doesn't make sense but you nevvv..." Asia froze, staring ahead, his eyes glazing over, his body quivering, tensing as he gripped the consoles.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kate stood to attention, straight back and with her paws behind her back.... she down at the officer sat behind the table and, with the tiniest of movements, cocked her head to one side slightly, flicking her fringe out of her eyes in the process...
"I am afraid i do not know what you mean... sir.... me and my marines where simply taking transit on-board that ship, after being rescued..."
She looked the officer straight in his steely eyes....

[HowlTheGrayWolf]

"Don't worry, my nose is fine, I've been shot before, anyhow." He looked for something to stop the bleeding, and found some tissues lying around, so he grabbed two and stuffed one in each nostril. Running back up to Korius and Asia, he raised an eyebrow when they both went silent. He turned to Tabby, then back to Asia and Korius. Howl got frustrated, and it was apparent in his voice, "Ok, what the hell is going on?!"

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The officer aboard the Demolition stared up at Kate, then coughed into his hand. "The planet you were stationed on was under quarantine. The effort and skill required to get to the surface to rescue you would far outweigh the needs of a bunch of strangers who may be dead. Either that ship is full of saints, or you were protecting something important, for example that psychopath in your care." He covered his smile with a cough. "Tell me why you are protecting him. Tell me all your contacts. Tell me everything."


Over on Vee, Asia crumpled to the floor.
"No no no," he said. "No no no. This isn't right." Tabby yelped and ran to his side. The rabbit began to crawl, back through the cockpit.
"Asia, what the hell are you doing?" Tabby asked. Asia continued to crawl, moving through to the corridor that ran through the ship, as tears sat upon his fur. He looked up, seeing his room, right at the end.
"I've got to get to it," he said. "I need it, NOW!"

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

"Tabby take him and contain him, now! He's going for the Everflame!" Korius' hands flew through the controls as they got closer into the grave and fired his thruster rockets two at a time to clear a path or at least blast one. He gunned the engines burst through the wreckage. When they were finally clear, he turned Vee around and they floated there, motionless. Korius began to run his scanners of all kinds to try to uncover the mystery of the wreckage. "Howl, please help Tabby hold down that bloody rabbit. he needs to be restrained. Use force if you have to. He's been using that flame on himself. Just make sure you clean up anything you make a mess on."
