Everflame 2 (FINISHED)

[Entaru]

The Nero Ooze finished off what few ships had straggled behind before stopping completely and let out a shriek which echoed through the black of space.  LiarS!!!!...IT Isn'T HerE!...It'S Hasn'T BeeN HerE FoR A WhilE!  The ooze reshaped into his hyena-like form and looked to the beast.  NoW WhaT ArE WE SupposeD TO DO?!

The felines eyes once again opened up some time after. He slowly looked around winceing from a brutal head ache as he got up. The room he was in was almost full leaveing him with a decision to leave for the more sevier cases. Slowly he through the sheats off of him checking his self to be sure nothing was broken only finding bandages around his torso and right leg, but no cast, signaling nothing was broken.

Turning his body so his legs were now off the bed and getting up. He felt a sharp pain in his side winceing as his hand instinctively went to it. Even then he still got out of the bed and slowly made his way out of the room haveing done this before in many lab accidents, he should be used to it by now.

Annie sighed and stroked her own hand down Reggie's arm sadly "I solemnly promise to hurry my furry tail back here as fast as possible..." She returned the smile and walked past Reggie "And if you wait nice and patiently, we may have interesting things to do when I get back." She blew him a kiss, winked, and turned away with an elegant swish of both hips and tail. She smirked as she walked away, muttering under her breath "Still got it..."



Blaze sat with his arms crossed, moodily imagining Tess' mechanical companion being methodically crushed in the compactor. Tess meanwhile was still grinning, holding in a laugh that would surely split her sides if it where let loose. RUST-E stood between the pair, blue eye flickering as he turned from one to the other "Happy now are you?" The little droid looked up at Blaze's question and beeped loudly.
Tess' grin widened, a small laugh escaping between her lips "-snrk- Watching you two is like one of those silly comedies on the visi-net..."

The beast twisted from side to side. Its burning eyes scanning the stars.
"Where are the others, the hybrids, the ambassadors we sent. They might know. I can feel them, but where are they?"






Medical staff rushed around to all the other patients, completely not noticing Leo walk by, except for one. A short, male porcupine rushed to him, and tried to guide the cat back to the mattresses.






Reggie couldn't resist a sigh, as he stared at Annie's tail. He then notice a dingo, with a serval's arms draped over its shoulders.

Dougie and Keiron stood in the doorway, to the ship.
"You're five minutes late," said the dingo, while Keiron poked his head above Dougie's shoulder.
"Was that your mate?" asked the cat, gesturing to Reggie. "He's a nice catch, ow!" Dougie had elbowed him in the ribs. "Well he's hot!"
"Oi!" Dougie looked up at Keiron, who had a big cheeky grin on his feline face.Dougie shook his head and stepped aside for Annie to pass, while he glanced to Reggie, giving a quick salute. Reggie replied in kind.

Vuranin re-appeared next to Nero, her own aura seeming to repel the etheral sludge of Nero's. "I can reach them within an hour or two, but I can't bring them back since my 'carry-bag' can only be used on a single object. Beyond that, it would take several days for the likes of yourselves to reach them, even if Nero decided to get full-size."

Chronin seemed really complacent from where he was sitting, but Seeker saw that he was ready for a fight given an instant's notice. He stood up and bleched into his left sleeve before looking at Tabby. "Well, we should report back to the ship before a plan can be decided on our part. You ready to go back Tabs'?"

[Entaru]

[tangletail]

Leo lightly placed a hand on the porcupines chest moveing him out of the way as he continued walking in a limp. "Im fine" he grunted as he continued makeing his way to the door.

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie raised an eyebrow as she passed Keiron "Yes, he is. And I'l ask you to keep your paws off him-" she grinned "-both of you..." With a wink to the pair, and a last wave goodbye to Reggie, she stepped into the ship.



Blaze glared at the small droid, turning back to Tess "Why dont you just turn him off for a while? He's starting to really bug me..." Tess shook her head, patting RUST-E on the head "No, I couldn't do that... I mean, I havn't even performed a memory wipe since-" She stopped abruptly, looking away.

Blaze turned his glare to her "You what? Tess, all droids have to undergo a system scan and wipe every year... Its policy..." Tess stood up and returned the glare "Why should I wipe him? He'd just be like every other droid!"

With a growl Blaze stood "Yeah, but he's completely erratic. He wont even let me near you!" He stopped suddenly, looking down at the steel floor as Tess stared curiously at him "Blaze, what do you mean?"

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"No way," Tabby said with exaggerated surprise at Chronin. "Why would the people we're stealing from agree to this? I want to do this. It's just like old times," she said with a grin and a glance to Asia, but the rabbit was none too pleased.
"I dont know about this. I wanted to just be peaceful," he said. Tabby made a sound to reply, but was cut short by the decrepit Afgha.
"We must do this," said the aged rabbit. "This is not something small. We've got to help them." He turned to Chronin. "You too, young dragon. You owe it to yourself, and whoever put that feeling around you. You're connected to this other dimension somehow, you have to help." Everyone looked to Chronin, some with a whisper of confusion on their faces at the idea that he had anything to do with another plane of existence.





The beast twisted and turned, slowly shifting and shrinking, growing brighter and denser, like a cluster of stars forming together.
"Take me there, Nero," he said.





The porcupine persevered, coming around Leo again. "Sir, you're not well, where are you going?"





Reggie waved goodbye, and watched as the door closed. It didn't take long before his faced started to turn back to a deep vicious snarl. His muscles tensed, and his fists clenched, so he walked anywhere. Realising he didn't know where anything was, he turned back and forth, like a caged animal, mumbling and growling to himself, baring his teeth.





Keiron hopped away back toward the cockpit, while Dougie stepped aside motioning for Annie to come with them. They all went into the crampt little cockpit, and the dingo leaned against the side, holding onto handles that were molded out of the walls.
"Alrighty then," said Keiron. "Hold onto something." The engines began to build and the ship began to shift, wobbling off the ground. The cat kept it steady, and powered out through the exit, flinging themselves into space. Dougie let go of the handles and folded his arms.
"So," he said. "We've got a good bit of time before we arrive at the place, so any questions about what we're doing?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Annie braced herself against the sudden thrust of the ship, space-faring legs easily compensating for the change in momentum. She looked up at Dougie and shrugged "Going to Mngeya, leave a beacon marked zer-four-five. Ask for Krade when contacted by the operator and say I need her to repay a favour..." Annie grinned "Military mind, never forgets orders. Though I was not told what we do after that, care to elaborate?"




"Look, its just that he... it , gets in the way all the time! Its like it doesnt want me to even know you!" Blaze glared in accusation at RUST-E, even now the little droid sat between him and Tess like a guard dog. Tess flicked her fringe to one side and sighed "Blaze, your acting like a child... He's just protective, he always has been." Blaze interjected with a sardonic laugh "Yeah he sure is protective. I cant get a moments peace alone with you. And I'd like that Tess, I really would..."

With another sigh Tess sat back down onto a dismembered engine. She looked between RUST-E and Blaze and pressed her fingers to her temples "I'd like that too Blaze..." She looked up and nodded back into the hangar "The Big guy your mum was with looks kinda lost. Lets just go help him, and forget this..." Blaze chewed his bottom lip, but nodded as they walked back over to where Reggie paced.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Well," Dougie said. "Apparently you'll get certain instructions. They're never the same instructions twice, and after that, we'll decide on what to do." He gave a little tweak of a smile, while Keiron sat back in his piloting chair and swivelled round.
"We'll get there in, like, a couple of hours," he said. "So, you can eat something if you want, though we probably only got that nasty space ration rubbish." He pulled a face in disgust. "We should stop off somewhere and get some good food."





Reggie stopped and crouched down, while pressing his hands to his face and growling deep. He flicked an eye open and looked over at the approaching youngsters.
"What do you want, kid?" he said to Blaze with a brusque tone and a cold stare.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin could vaguely hear the wooden floor splintering under his feet as he heard the old rabbit talk about the 'other dimension'. However, he was able to calm himself down and keep his 'other side' from lashing out in frustration. "Unless your ship can fit all of us, I'll need to get back to my ship so I can also get the canister I was originally going to bring back to my aunt."

[Entaru]

VerY WelL...VuraniN, I NeeD ThosE CoordinateS...ThE FasteR WE CaN ObtaiN IT, ThE SooneR WE CaN GeT BacK  Nero glared at Vuranin, waiting for her to speak.  He didn't trust her as far as he could spit her out.  Her ties to this realm made her more like Seeker and Howl in his eyes...abominations who, despite everything, seem to manage to live.  Trash...

[tangletail]

Leo growled a bit not wanting to stay in such a room "I dont care were Im going as long as its not here" he said pulling away from the porcupine now exspecting someone to try and jab him with a needle as he continued to the exit.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Well," Asia said. "We never really had a ship to give." He looked to Howl who shrugged apolagetically.
"Would it be okay if we used yours," said the wolf to the dragon.




The porcupine frowned his little face, and his quills flared up.
"Sir, please I'm supposed to keep the injured here. You can't go back to your ship, it's trashed, and we can't have people hobbling around unsupervised." He stood in front of the door, arms out stretched to stop the serval.
