"Sure why not?"

---------------------------

Major Lockie then carefully manuevered down the runway. He then radioed the control tower for clearance, which he got.

He then started up his massive turboshaft engines, the rumble of which was audible to his passengers inside.

---------------------------

"This is your pilot speaking, we are preparing for take off. Please hold on and stay away from any weapons inside. If you have any weapons, please secure them in the provided holders."

scooby hung onto dixie as the plane shook as they began to move the shaking grew loader as the passengers felt themselves be lifted off the ground.. 'I'm never been on a plane before this is so cool " agumina said cheerfully.. ' I hope none of you get sick, because we don't have barf bags or anything" nicj said..

(OOC - [] will be used for Major Lockie's speech inside his cargo area.)

[Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! NO hurling in my cargo bay!]

-------------------------------

Major Lockie was a rather slow flyer so he just simply circled around a large area as if on an attack run.

-------------------------------

The guns inside the cargo area began to creak as the servos aimed them at the target but they were not actually firing.

Just hold on everyone' dixie said ' Stick together and everything will be fine"
Easy for you to say " nick sttutered.

"Nice to be able to take a break." The Troodon doctor said. "Though things are looking better out there." He said.

"This war may be over soon." Brooklyn said. "The signs seem to point in that direction." He said.

"I would agree, from what I know and have seen." Odysseus said.

Major Lockie was circling around a large area that apparently used to be the park but now it was completely ravaged with several craters everywhere.

He decided to show his passengers the destruction he was capable of.

----------------------------

Inside his hold, a television screen emerged from behind a panel in the front of the hold.

[This ain't no inflight movie but it'll do for now.]

The TV screen showed the passengers the ravaged park he was circling. A few severely dilapidated buildings were present.

[Oh yeah, I'm about to engage in some test firing so be prepared for noise, smoke and general unpleasantness.]

The sound of the servo motors aiming his weapons echoed through the hold.

Suddenly, an ear shattering roar was heard in the hold as his 105 mm cannon fired. The spent casing landed by Nick's feet.

The viewscreen showed the building collapsing after the large shell struck it and detonated.

He then let loose a volley of 40 mm shells that completely leveled another building. The still smoking casings jittered around Dixie and Scooby's feet. This destruction was also shown on the television inside his hold.

[Yeah! Now that's entertainment! Oh guys, I'll need you all to serve as my reloading crew; my automatic reloaders haven't been fully fixed yet since the parts haven't arrived. The ammo is in large crates near the weaponry they serve. Thanks.]

Nick22 · **Reply #8308 on:** May 03, 2011, 03:04:48 PM

Scooby jumped into Dixies arms as the explosions reverborated around the hold. "rot ro roud! " he complained as the spent shells rattled around. " Scooby1 Get off me!' Dixie said driopping him on the floor with a thud..
_
the light the screen was temporarily blinding for nick, butafter adjusting he made his way over to the boxes and began reloading the various ammounition. Scooby and Dixie used Light spells so the rest of them could see..

Major Lockie wheeled around and headed back to the airport where he landed and shut off his turboprop engines. 2nd Lt. Martin and Capt. Fairchild were waiting for him. Interestingly, in an attempt to get the ground crew and refugees used to them, they let themselves be turned into a tourist attraction,

"So what did you do, Biggie?" Lt. Martin asked. A boy was gently scratching her "snout" near her pitot tube and she appeared to be enjoying it.

"Biggie?" Deimos asked with a snicker. Everyone started snickering, much to Major Lockie's chagrin.

"It's not what you think!" Major Lockie blurted out. His codename came from the fact that he mounted a 105 mm cannon - the largest cannon ever mounted on an aircraft. Although his "prowess" in the hangar with his girlfriend was well known among his military friends.

"And I was on a test flight," he added. Thankfully, living planes cannot blush but embarrassment was visible in his eyes. "And never use that term outside of private radio communications!" His nickname of "Spectre" was much preferred over his embarrassing codename.

Of course, Lt. Martin had an equally embarrassing codename: "Pomegranate". Captain Fairchild, on the other hand, had the codename of "Avenger".

---------------------------

Inside his cargo hold, fans quickly cleared away the smoke from his weapons. The floor shifted slightly to direct the spent shell casings out one of six disposal ports lining the sides of the cargo bay. The television also retracted.

[Okay, everyone out!]

Nick22 · **Reply #8310 on:** May 03, 2011, 07:26:23 PM

thank you for the ride :' agumon said cheerily, while Scooby and dixie were less cherful. Rhanks, Ri ruess..' Thank you for the ride" dixie said.
was the ride > fun Tigeress asked eagerly..

Serris · **Reply #8311 on:** May 04, 2011, 12:49:15 AM

"You're welcome," Major Lockie said.

---------------------

The Pelvanida Group was inside one of the airport terminals. Most of the broken windows had been replaced with boards but a few were still open and crews were busy sweeping up the broken glass and repairing damaged areas.

Even so, there were tables and chairs scavenged and set up to make the place somewhat comfortable. A fair number of people were resting

The food court had been converted into a dining room and kitchen and dinner was apparently being served.

"Well, time to eat," Zachary said, sitting at a table.

Deimos, Dr. Zanasiu, Strut and Rime were using the bathroom.

Nick22 · **Reply #8312 on:** May 04, 2011, 01:59:49 PM

Stripetail a seat at one of the middle tables. many of the chairs were wooden, the rest were plastic. " so whats for dinner? any things you can find ?
- Fun..That ride could be called a number of things Tigress.. fun.. would not be high up on the list of things i'd call it.. for one, there were no seats, no drinks or food and no restrooms. hes not an airliner, hes a warplane, which he proved by blowing up a number of buildings for us. hes a nice chap, but i would not want to fly inside him for a long fight, unless Stripetail ordered me to.
_ so in other words, you wouldn't recommend it" Genki said slowly " No" Dixie said flatly.

Serris · **Reply #8313 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:04:11 PM

The food court's stalls all served the same type of food: variations of dishes containing rice, corn, beans, peanuts and salted or dried fish and vegetables.

Zachary grabbed a scavenged but clean ceramic plate and stood in line. When it was his turn, he got a plate of red beans and rice along with some limp steamed vegetables.

Rime, who was next in line, got two rehydrated salmon filets with a rather oily looking lemon dill sauce.

Zachary sat next to Dr. Zanasiu, who was drowning his meal of black bean and corn salad in Tabasco sauce. The tortilla chips were untouched.

"Is it that bad?" Zachary asked.

Dr. Zanasiu nodded. "The salad tastes like it's been in the fridge since this war started and the chips taste like stale cardboard."

Deimos arrived with his meal - plain catfish filets. He sat next to the two. He poked the rubbery filet with his fork. "Of all the survivors here, not one can cook something that doesn't look or taste like s---?"

vonboy · **Reply #8314 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:17:11 PM

Von was starting to get bored of playing basketball, so he asked about other things he could do. "Hey, Skull. What all is in this hotel? I feel like doing a little bit of exploring."

Nick22 · **Reply #8315 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:25:28 PM

wel the hotel has 10 floors, a library a bar, and lots of different things. it gets creepy at noght tough' Skull replied
_ scooby tried some of the dip and made a face. Dixie tried it, and spat it out ' this is almost as bad as the food the Insane Cafe used to serve.. " Ron't rive re rad rerories' scooby said tossing his plate to the side..
The rest of the team had tried the food and quickly rejected it.
hey stripetail can't you create some pizza? Nani asked..' Yeah, fries, hamburgewrw, things like that' Shaggy agreed. "this stuff horrible! Stripetail sighed. " Bring me the food Deimos. we are not going to force people to eat old and tasteless food. I'm going to turn in into some more edible

Serris · **Reply #8316 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:50:39 PM

The Pelvanida Group bought the plates over to Stripetail.

"Sylvia," Deimos asked, "why is the food so bad?"

Sylvia, who finished her own plate of salmon without complaint spoke. "We're running on diverted supplies from Chong's forces. The last drop was over a month ago and we are running low on supplies. Our next convoy with fresh food and supplies should be arriving soon. Also, we don't have anyone who can cook; Chong executed them all."

Strut scratched his head. "Why don't we have Major Lockie grab some supplies for us?" he suggested.

"Good idea, I'll go ask him," Deimos said. He looked down the aisle and saw that Major Lockie had poked his snout through a broken window and was conversing with the curious guests. Not surprisingly, he blocked out the whole window.

------------------------

Captain Fairchild and Lt. Martin were getting their systems checked over by some mechanics.

"So Pomegranate, how have you been?" Capt. Fairchild asked. A panel at his rear was opened, allowing a Whippet mechanic to check that the fuel and hydraulic lines were sound. Another mechanic was near his snout, cleaning his pitot tube. A third mechanic was lubricating his manipulator claws.

Lt. Martin frowned. "Who told you my codename!?"

Several of the mechanics laughed at the revalation that this advanced fighter jet bore a literally fruity codename.

Nick22 · **Reply #8317 on:** May 04, 2011, 11:50:43 PM

until we can get fresh foods i'll create food for us magically " stripetail said. he gestured and turned the old food, into different sides: fries, fresh salmon, mashed potatoes, chicken strips , hamburgers anbd hotdogs. there was also three kinds of pizza, cheese with stuffed crust, pepperoni with normal crust or sasuage with garlic bread crust, with the crust being detachable. for dessert there was chocolate cream pie, blueberry pie with whipped topping, and apple pie with ice cream. all this food was magical so it didn't run out until everyone had eaten thier fill..

That finished, Jason and his friends decided to walk around outside the tardis to see how things were going. None of them were surprised by the sight of living planes. After traveling with a time lord for a while you get use to all sorts of unusual looking beings. Especially when you travel to other universes as well as times & places.

-------------------------

"Something smells good." Exile said sniffing as he walked towards where the food smelled like it was coming from. Shag agreed with him, speaking his own Shag language.

----

"Those planes look alive." Pete said as he and Goodzooky were on their way to where they found out some food was being served.

---

Her snack finished Sara decided to see what sorts of things were going on in the area.

Serris · **Reply #8319 on:** May 05, 2011, 03:34:08 PM

(Cobia Bay Airport/Refugee Camp)

Captain Fairchild spotted Pete, Jason and Goodzooky out on the tarmac.

"Hey! Get out of here!" he shouted.

"Mmm, what's the problem?" Lt. Martin asked. Her pitot tube was being cleaned out by the ground crew.

"Some people are on the tarmac!'

"Ah, the guards'll take care of them. Besides, we can't do anything without blowing up a good part of the airport."

---------------------------

A rapid response team of armed soldiers intercepted Pete, Jason and Goodzooky.

"Halt!" the team leader demanded. "What is your business!?"

---------------------------

Dr. Zanasiu and Rime grabbed the salmon and started eating.

"This tastes like it was straight from the Inglorious Hotel's kitchen!" Rime exclaimed.

Zachary and Strut were eating garlic mashed potatoes.

"Hey, think we can import a few cooks over here?" Strut asked between bites of mashed potato?

"Why not? We've got plenty of them," Zachary replied.

He then radioed Yaltsin. "Hey Yaltsin, can you recruit some cooks for us at the hotel? Zachary out."

---------------------------

Deimos pulled up a chair and sat next to Major Lockie. "So, Major, my commander wants us to ship some food from Surf Point. Think you can handle it?"

Major Lockie smirked. "Like that'll be a problem. All right, I'm heading out."

He then rolled away from the broken window, leaving it open to the elements and a long drop. Thankfully, a low railing still remained to keep people away from the edge.

Deimos then returned to the food court and grabbed his plate of salmon.

"Major Lockie's heading out to get us food from Surf Point."

---------------------------

(Ft. Inglorious)

Yaltsin and his crew were setting up the studio in preparation for the 10 o'clock news. Mr. Bigmouth was busy checking the footage that Yaltsin and his men had shot.

"Commander Briggins," Yaltsin said, poking his head out of the studio, "we've got a ghost who's not letting us shoot! We're already cutting it close as it is for the 10 o'clock news!"

The sound of some men yelling and something being knocked over echoed from within the studio.
