Futuristic Fate of the Stars of Life (EPISODE 2: Space Piracy)

[Meme Machine]

Talia slammed into the wall, not hurt, but having the wind knocked out of her.

"Little late for that." She sat cross legged and warped her arms around one of the poles for support. She smiled widly and laughed at Bowe, who was having the time of her life it looked like.

Eventually, after being bumped around in hyperspace while the FTL drive was active, they eventually made it to their stop... In what appears to be a small, yet habitable planet, right in front of them. "This must be the place," Susan said.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia looked at the planet, her head still spinning from the flying. She looked to the Captain, and Kqidons.

"What do you think is there? It looks habitable, but abandoned, almost....."

 

[BoltBeam]

Hamele seemed a bit dazed, too, but Bowe? Oh, Bowe is fine. Hamele looked to the planet after snapping out of it. "Well, it's a bit small, so we're bound to find 'something'." She said bluntly.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

"I'll make preparations to land on the planet. Hopefully, we'll be able to find Aliema there..." Susan said. "I hope so, too. I'd really love to meet a Freakazoid celebrity." Kqidons stated. Hamele decides to try and calm herself a little by looking out the window to see the stars in space... However, a giant black warship, with a Jolly Roger on the front, suddenly jumps into view, scaring Hamele.

 

[BoltBeam]

Hamele spots it and just freezes up, feeling as if her soul left her body for a second. She just stands there, practically frozen and speechless. Bowe is just sitting around, still clueless and full of energy.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia noticed Hamele's jump, and looked where she was looking.
"You alright Hamele….?" She placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, wondering what spooked her.

 

[BoltBeam]

Hamele pointed to that which she saw. "...That... thing..." She managed to say, still effectively frozen.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia gasped a little, her eyes turning to concern and fear. Her hand dropped from the girls shoulder, and she pursed her lips.

"Cap'n! You might wanna check this out. Hamele spotted something kind of important."

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

"Not now, Talia. I'm-" Susan tried to respond. However, the shuttle then shakes, as if it were attacked by the warship. "Urgh! What happened?!" Susan demanded. "Why don't you take a look on Hamele's window and find out?" Kqidons responded. Susan then looks at the window and, as expected, looked surprised. "Oh no..."

 

[BoltBeam]

"Wh-wh-whaaa..." Hamele is speechless. "W-What 'is' that thing?!" She managed to exclaim, startling Bowe, who then took a look as well. She seemed in awe, but then saw the warship's weapons. "It's that thing! It's shooting us!" She said, alarmed.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

"I'll need to take some evasive maneuvers!" Susan exclaimed. She rushes back to the cockpit and dodges the next attacks sent by the warship. "This is likely a trap set up by that warship. We need to leave immediately!" Susan states. Then, a small swarm of combatants wearing protective gear and jetpacks comes out of the warship and fly towards the crew's shuttle.

 

[BoltBeam]

"Captain - we've got attackers, incoming! They're heading our way!" Hamele said with a sense of urgency. "What do we do?"

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

"We avoid their attacks as best as we can, Hamele," Susan responds. "And leave immediately." Susan then keeps trying to dodge the attacks from both the flying warriors and the warship. Then, out of nowhere, one warrior, who was different from the others by actually be a Freakazoid warrior, comes out of nowhere and, with its armblades ready, fly towards the cockpit and stabs the window, where the window immediately starts to crack and release pressurized air. "EVERYBODY MAKE SURE YOUR OXYGEN MASKS IS ON AND SECURE!!" Susan yells, wide-eyed. Then, the glass gives away, sending the crew that was in the shuttle flying around in dead space.

 

[BoltBeam]

Bowe was shortly finding herself drifting away in space, though seemed absolutely terrified. Hamele followed, still not letting go of her staff. Luckily, yes, their oxygen masks were on and secure. But what about everyone else? And now it's more dangerous, as the ship can shoot 'them'!

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux dropped his pad and pen in the vacuum. He uses his small toolbox in his cloak that he has and makes a makeshift thruster from the chemicals in the drink spill from earlier to make a gas and push him forward. He slowly collects the members that he can find, grouping them up behind the ship for cover.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia scrambled to press her oxygen mask, and succeeded, before being thrown into space. She tried screaming, but couldn’t be heard. All that went through her mind was the panic of being thrown away from everyone again. She felt herself flip through space. She saw Lux as she spun, trying to gather the others, and tried to regulate her breathing.

Once she had calmed down a little, she used her boosters to fly towards the others, still breathing heavily but calmer than she was.

“What the quiznack just happened!” She cursed into her coms, completely freaking out. “Is everyone ok?”

 

[BoltBeam]

"Bowe feel dizzy..." Bowe responded, sounding it, too. Hamele, on the other hand, sounded even worse, practically mute for the time being, but one could hear her terrified mumbling.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia shook her own head, trying to get a grip.

“Everyone stay on your coms! If you speak without them we won’t be able to hear you. That’s just how space works.”

She looked back at the ship, the war vessel still firing. She growled lowly, and turned her head back to the others. Suddenly she stopped.

“Who all is here?”

 

[BoltBeam]

"Bowe, check! Nurse is broken, bu- wait, nurse?" Bowe seemed confused. Hamele was just... floating there brainlessly as the cannons were taking aim at her. "NURSE, LOOK OUT!" Bowe shouted - getting Hamele's attention and snapping her out of it. However, Hamele was blasted not too long after and let out a painful scream of - well, pain.

Bowe immediately darted to Hamele, from cover, and then took her to the cover. Hamele looked pretty banged up, but she'll survive. Bowe quickly grabbed Hamele's staff, turned it on and began healing her with it - seeming like she could figure it out. Hamele was quickly recovering, no longer brain dead.

 

[Meme Machine]

When Talia saw Hamele, she yelled out for her.

"Hamele!" She went to get her, but paused when Bowe beat her to it. The girl seemed distressed, and Hamele looked beat up. Talia could feel her chest tightening, and realized she was going into shock. she tried breathing through her nose and out her mouth.

"Is she ok?" Talia floated over to Hamele, resting a arm on her shoulder.

 

[BoltBeam]

"Nurse should make it. Whatever her staff is, it's got a crazy healing mode. She should be OK!" Bowe said thankfully. Hamele seemed to be - indeed - recovering at an impressive rate with the staff's healing beam on her, but on the bright side, yep, she's awake. "D-Don't worry about me - I should be giving my life to keep you all alive as it is! If anything, I'm glad that's not one of you!" She said boldly and confidently, no less sharp.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux says nothing, keeping the others down in the debris to protect from the warship. He looks at Hamele, and they can see that he isn't wearing an oxygen mask. He quickly modified the oxygen mask to go into the breathing hole on his mask, and was heard in the comms taking a deep breath.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia's breath caught in her throught when she saw Lux without a mask. If he had passed out, she didn't know if anyone would have been able to get to him in time. She tried taking deep breaths, seeing that he had his mask on. She squeezed her eyes shut, and like her brother had taught her, let the panic take over. she counted for five full seconds, wrapping herself into a ball. Five seconds, and then back into action. Once she counted to five, she snapped her eyes open, looking to everyone in anticipation.

"We need to either get out of their line of fire, or surrender. I'm not one for making decisions, but I am one for not dying, so we might wanna get a plan." She held her hand up to her face as another blast shook the ship they were hiding behind. "Like, now."

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"I'll...distract" goes over the comms. He used his voice. It's quite a young, but a wounded-sounding voice. It isn't used often, only when he absolutely has to use his voice. He grabs 2 knives out of an unknown number from his cloak and peeks over their cover. He looks back at Talia, his eyes showed that he had no fear about basically a suicide mission.
