Everflame 2 (FINISHED)

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie blushed, still facing the other way as Reggie embraced her "Hmn... I could do that... Or maybe you'd enjoy walking around the carrier naked?" She looked over her shoulder at him, smirking childishly. The young lynx guard was still standing in the cell, unable to get out of the door due to the impromptu fox-hug.

He coughed lightly, trying to get their attention "Officer Grawn didnt say anything about your clothing, I assume it is still impounded, or incinerated... I can try and get you a spare set of Mechanicus overalls though..." He watched Reggie and Annie, doing his best not to appear embarrassed or awkward with the situation... 





RUST-E whirred slightly closer to David, leaning back to a point where he was almost toppling over to get a look at him. His bright blue eye focused and re-focused, whirring quietly. He gave a content whistle followed by a beep, satisfied with whatever he had been doing. In the ship, there was a bright blue flash of sparks, a smell of burnt fur and a loud "Ow! Do Riti!"

The small droid backed away hurriedly from David, bright halogen light turning back on to illuminate Tess, now sucking her thumb beside a maze of electrics and cabling. RUST-E gave a sheepish whistle as Tess clambered back out of the ship "Well... I think i found the problem..." She wiped her paws with an oily cloth distractedly as she talked "Your central inertia compensator is completely fried.... Probably needs to be completely replaced that does... Your lucky it hasnt blown out during a jump yet buddy..."

Leo woke up groaning from the worse headache of his life. He placed a paw over his right ear feeling the dried blood in his hair. His ear was no longer reading, just blocked. He carefully inserted a finger to dig out the dried blood thats irritateing it and flicked his ear violently before noticeing his glasses are now broken. Takeing off the specs he thought "What a night" as he was putting them away. He looked back down to Leia, who was still asleep against him and wrapped the arm he was useing around her letting out a yawn as he lowered his chin on her shoulder.

There were two knocks on the door of the dragon's cell.
"Alright," said a new voice, darker, harsher than the first. "You're up. Come with us." There was a clunk, then the door eased open, showing a two twin leopards. They stood apart, leaving a gap for Yu-Razul to walk through.





Reggie looked down at Annie, shaking his head.
"Maybe you'd enjoy that, but I wouldn't," he said, with a growing grin. As the guard coughed, Reggie looked back. "Oh you didn't burn my clothes, did you? You bugger! Those cost a lot!" He whacked his own thigh. "Flipping heck." He felt his anger growing again, building on the previous feelings, but he stopped, and bit his tongue. "Fine, get my some overalls. I hope you've got my size."



David gave unsure looks at the little droid, and stepped a bit away, but still keeping in sight of Tess, until the light flashed. He jumped forward and put his head inside to take a look.
"What did you break?" he said. Then as she spoke, a frown sat on his face. He kicked his ship, making a tung of a noise. "Stupid thing." He glances over at the fried vixen. "So how much would a replacement cost?"






Leia whimpered and yelped in her sleep, twitching in her nightmares. She grabbed hold of Leo's hand, and her eyes shot open, feeling him against her. She screamed, and scrambled away against the building, covering her eyes and crying in fear. A wolf police officer charged round the corner.
"What happened? What did you do?" He yelled, pointing a truncheon at Leo.

[tangletail]

Leo held up his hands not wanting to cause any problems and staying seated were he was not knowing how jumpy the officer was. He began to think not knowing exactly how to explain this. "Officer the girl is haveing some hard times and woke up from a nightmare. We both fell unconscious from a very loud sound that did the damage around this area, or at least the sound knocked me out..." he groaned holding onto his head to ease some of the pain before looking back up not sure exactly how believable the explanation was he gave the cop and hoped for Leia to vouch for him.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Yeah we know about the niose," said the officer, as he put the his truncheon away. "We're still not sure what it came from." He glanced over at the girl. "Is she alright. Does she need any help?"

[tangletail]

Seeing that the officer no longer accused him of anything, Leo decided to standup before looking over to Leia "Shes... haveing some nightmares, that's been bothering her. But she's looking for someone actualy. Do you by chance no were Kaetri is... the head of security? Or a black dragon on the force?"
Looking over to the officer he then added promptly "And yes, its a bit important"

[Rasu]

YU-Razul walked forwards moving between the leopards. He knew that somewhere within his memories were his answers, and that he must have done something terrible. The question for his now was what was to be his fate. As the leopard grabbed his right arm it burned a bit, he had grabbed a charred piece if scaley flesh. Yu-Razul held back a yelp of pain and readied himself for his judgement.

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie pulled out of Reggie's embrace, walking right up to the young lynx. He took a hasty step back as she smiled, sharp white teeth flashing as she leant close to him "Look kid... You go find my boyfriends clothes, and you'd better find them, or else i'm going to tear out and... eat.... your.... throat..." She laid severe emphasis on the last three words, jabbing a claw into his chest as she spoke.

She tussled his hair, smiling devilishly and nodded her head towards the open cell door "C'mon... Shoo!" The young lynx nodded hurriedly, clutching the straight-jacket he held tightly as she skirted past the two foxes. Annie smirked, looking back to Reggie "I know him... And i would never eat his throat... too stringy..."




Tess gave sucked in a deep breath, like a strange inward whistle. The general sign for all engineer across the entire universe that somthing was going to cost a pretty penny... "Weeell... To find one compatible with this ship... At this time of year...." She turned away from David, waving to someone across the huge carrier and shouted over the crowds of engineers and pilots "OY! Jakers! What price you put on a Inertia compensator for a series two freighter!?"

A wolf looked up from unloading crates off a small ship, shrugging and shouting back equally loudly "Dunno Tess!.... Give or take a coupla thousan' credits?" Tess flicked her tail twice, looking back to David "I reckon' i can get it cheaper n' that for you... I'l see what i can find... But thankfully it looks like that is really the biggest problem with your ship 'ere... It would account for the jump problems and engine cut-outs..." RUST-E gave a little beep, followed by the mechanical nod of his head.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

The wolf officer gave curious glance at Leo. "It would have to be pretty important to talk to them."
"Everflame!" yelled Leia. "Howl and Seeker, it's about them... and that." She crawled on all fours, as though standing up would be too hard. "Tell her, she'll know." The officer tilted his head at her, then nodded and headed off back into the station. A little while later, a car pulled up beside them, a lioness growling in the drivers seat.
"Get inside." The rear door opened towards them.





One of the leopards gave a sidewards glance as Yu-Razul winced, but carried on pulling him along through a door, then along a straight stone corridor, with a low arched ceiling. Orbs of light were place along the middle of that arch. At the end an ornate wooden door with lavish fabrics decorating, opened up to a large circular hall. A long and low table curled in a ring around the room, and at the opposite end, a harpy eagle, lavished in elaborate furs, feathers and beads, sat on a cushion, with plates of food displayed in front of her. She took a chunk of meat into her massive beak, snapping as she ate it down. The leopards let go of the dragon, and called out his name.
"Yu-Razul, accused of vigialantism and mass murder." The eagle looked up, her head twitching and tilting as she examined him from across the room.
"Sit," she said. Her voice was soft, like a gossamer cloth, caressing his cheek.






Reggie cocked and eyebrow at Annie, and spread a bemused smirk across him.
"Well... I'm impressed," he said, before he looked down and decided to cover himself. "Yeah, sorry. I don't normally end up naked with someone on a first date." He gave a little laugh, and his smile grew warmer. "Thanks a lot, you're a life saver."



David groaned, and rubbed his eyes.
"Ugh, that's not good." He thought for a moment, eyes clenched shut. "Well... actually..." He tapped Tess on the shoulder. "Do you know where I could sell a bunch of random stuff. I mean, I've lost two passengers so I could sell their stuff to pay for the part, right?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie returned the laugh, nervously blushing a little "Well... It certainly makes a change of pace to what would normally happen... Around about now i'd be around fifty credits up on a game of Red-Diamond cards, in the mess hall..." She brushed away his thanks, tail swishing lazily "Its no trouble... I'd do the same for any friend..." She sighed, looking from Reggie up to the ceiling. She hoped he would think she just wanted to give him some privacy, while really she was thinking of David and his idea of 'friendship'...



The young lynx jogged down a long steel corridor, dodging between guards engineers and pilots in a mad rush. In his paws he held a bundle of clothes, and behind him emanated the loud shouts of a very disgruntled officer. He ducked underneath a pane of glass, carried carefully by two engineers. The pair of wolves shouted as he did so, but his short bob-tail had already zipped round the corner out of sight. His training sergeant would have been impressed, after during recruitment he had been the slowest over the obstacle course, and only eighth in full sprint...




Tess looked up, bright eyed at the question "Ooh, clear-out... what you got for sale?" Her tail swished behind her energetically, as she looked past David to the entrance of his ship "Uh, i mean.... Theres a general trader who would buy most stuff off you... Just odds and ends... Other stuff like weaponry and electronics can be sold to the different Mechanicus departments, or directly to the engineers..."
 She waggled her eyebrows at the last part, winking happily...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Reggie's expression gave a little twitch at the word 'friend'.
"Heh... I assumed we weren't just 'friends'," he said with a shrug. Through the door, yells and echoing footsteps charged towards them, and the lynx burst through, with heaving breaths, carrying the clothes. Reggie's eyes lit up and moved one hand away from himself to grab the clothes. "Aw mate, you're a star, thanks." He turned away so he could use both hands, searching through the clothes and pulling them as fast as he could manage.




David gave a little smirk and snapped his fingers.
"Good, okay. Since you helped me out, you can have first pick of the stuff, and since you know this place, you can be my liaison with the others. Once I have my engine part, you can have a cut of the profits. How does that sound to you?"

[tangletail]

Leo blinked at the sudden car driveing up "Er... right...". He helped leia back to her feet and helping her in before getting in himself and closeing the door. He was a bit nervous about the "friendly" Lioness in the front seat.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin and Yuranin ate their breakfast, then Chronin was finally able to get up without falling to the floor. They both give a farewell hug, but Vuranin holds on longer than Chronin would consider okay as she starts to reminice holding her husband, but was a bit ashamed of herself that she actually felt safer and better in her son's arms rather than her husband's. She forced herself to let go and sat down before she shooed him away with a hand, trying to hold back tears. Chronin left the flat confused, but knew where to go in order to arrive at the port before Tabby.




Yuranin roared into a shriek before breaking down into tears as part of her mind was truly jealous of Tabby for beng one of his top interests. There was also the fact that Chronin would probably reject her on the basis of incest, or the idea that it was his own mother that loved him so.

It just made the ache that much more unbearable...

[Entaru]

Nero's withered husk of a body laid perfectly still inside the cage...its owner far away from it.  Meanwhile, Nero sat comfortably in the cracks and crevices of Leia's mind.  AT LasT...NoW WE ArE FinallY GettinG SomewherE...I WoulD PunisH YoU FoR TakinG SO LonG BuT I OfteN ForgeT HoW FragilE YoU WormS ArE...AnD SeeinG AS YouR TardinesS IS MY FaulT I WilL SparE YoU This OncE...

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie looked up at Reggie, frowning slightly at his comment... Her frown was replaced with a smile however, as the young lynx rushed in with his clothes, and a definite smell of ozone and burnt fur... As Reggie turned and started to get dressed, Annie walked over to the lynx, flicking his singed ear "Yeah... I should've warned you that officer Karla has a nasty temper when interrupted, and keeps a blaster pistol in her desk draw at all times..." The lynx winced, rubbing his ear and the now blackened fur... "Thanks for the warning Yantova..."




Tess nodded enthusiastically, tail flicking "Sounds like a sweet deal, I'm in for it..." With that she spat into her oil-stained palm, offering for David to do the same and shake.
