A Sci-Fi Roleplay

Zarcon let off a growl as he heard the beams strike his ship "Go and find the problem, stop it" he ordered a few of his Kre'Iax soldiers whom nodded and took off.

Zarcon himself, walked back to the cells deactivated the one that was holding Raiven, grabbing T-5.0 and Valria to push them backwards before grabbing Raiven right by the throat, already tightning his grip "Who else was with you?" he asked with a snarl before slamming him into the wall of the cell "Tell me!"

Valria got back up and glared to Zarcon who was hurting raiven by the looks of it "Let him go Zarcon"

"You care for this Earthling's life?" Zarcon asked with a chuckled back, his grip tightning some more still around Raiven's throat.

Zoe on the other hand, saw Zarcon enter the cell next to them "Firefly!" was all she called out, worrying for Firefly's life, as well as the lives of T-5.0 and Raiven.

Raiven choked for breath, trying to get words out of his mouth. As Zarcon eased his grip slightly, enough for Raiven to speak, he gave a gasp for air.

'You forgot... about my... little friend,' Raiven said, laughing slightly between coughs.

'If you hurt my dad, I swear to god I will kill you!' Whisper shouted from the other cell.

Isodor, meanwhile, hurried for the Athos' hatch. 'I can go out and steal the data from a terminal,' he said inside of his head. 'I need some cover while I make my way over, and then while I'm breaking into the system. It might take a few minutes, since I'm not entirely certain on how these ships systems operate.'

He looked out of the hatch at the destruction that was being brought upon the warship. 'Ouch, that's gotta smart,' Isodor muttered to himself as a Kre'Iax guard was thrown aside by a massive blast.

"Zarcon, we have a problem, the ship that we cpatured is going haywire now" one Kre'Iax spoke over an intercom system.

Zarcon just seemed to snarl as he slammed Raiven against the wall rather hard before letting him go as he looked to Valria next. However, before he could do anything, T-5.0 charged at him and knocked him through the wall into Zoe and Whisper's cell, to which Zoe let off a scream as she moved back.

"I'll hold him for now, you guys escape" T-5.0 told them as she kept the alien warlord pinned down.

Valria nodded back "Okay, for now, just don't kill him, that's my job" she told her as she walked out of the cell.

Zoe got up herself, doing what she could to stand as she begun to limp out through the hole in the wall to where everyone else was, stil wincing a little bit in pain.

'Oh no you don't,' Whisper said as she sided up to Zoe. She immediately grabbed her, and picked her up in her arms. 'Wow, you are incredibly light,' she said as she held Zoe much like a child. All that weightlifting had certainly payed off, though.

Raiven picked himself up and brushed off some dust with a hand, his other clutching his aching back. 'Damn, he has a tight grip,' he said, his voice a little hoarse.

'Dad!' Whisper cried from the other cell.

'Just go, I'm fine,' he said. Shortly after, he turned to Firefly. 'Talk about a miracle, huh Val?'

MrDrake · **Reply #204 on:** February 01, 2010, 09:40:10 PM

Zoe looked up at Whisper who was now holding her in her arms "Um, thanks" was all she had said to her, deciding not to make a fuss over it.

Valria nodded to Raiven "Yes, but I need to get my suit back, come on" she told him as she took off down the hallway, trying to find out where they were keeping her suit.

"Should we follow them?" Zoe asked Whisper, even though it would be Whisper who would be carrying her by the looks of things.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #205 on:** February 01, 2010, 09:51:20 PM

'I... don't know, to be honest,' Whisper replied. 'I don't think we can much help at the moment... and I believe my priority should be to get you somewhere safe. However, at the same time, it would be a bad idea to head for the ship alone, just in case we have a run in with one of those nasty buggers.'

Even so, she still at least wanted to get her hellrifle back, so after a moment of thought... she had made her decision. 'Oh what the heck, let's follow them. We're better off with some friends by our side.

Raiven just shrugged his shoulders, and followed Valria. 'Okay, whatever you say, Val. I might as well get my glasses back while we are at it.'

Isodor, meanwhile, had made his move. Whilst the hangar seemed deserted, he made a run for the terminal right at the front of the bay. 'What have I gotten myself into?' He asked himself as he hopped along on his three legs.

MrDrake · **Reply #206 on:** February 01, 2010, 10:00:30 PM

Soon enough, the group had made it to where their equipment was stored, with Valria already starting to put her suit on.

Zarcon however, had managed to knock T-5.0 off as he threw her through another wall before he took off to find Raiven and the others, running in the process.

T-5.0 got to her feet again and started to take off as well in order to try and catch up to Zarcon once again.

Valria was already half dressed in her suit as Zarcon approached, a grin across his face as he charged forwards, knocking Raiven, Whisper and Zoe aside as he grabbed Valria and slammed her right through the wall before jumping through after her.

"Firefly!" was all Zoe could call out as she fell to the ground from being knocked aside by Zarcon.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #207 on:** February 01, 2010, 10:23:54 PM

'To hell with this,' Raiven said, spitting in anger as he rose once more to his feet. 'I'm going to kill that bastard, whether Val likes it or not!'

'Are you crazy, dad?' Whisper said as she lay by Zoe's side. 'He'll kill the both of you!'

'I'm a cop, Whisp. Crazy is my middle name. Now, where is your hellrifle? Aha' The large rifle lay upon what seemed to be a counter, both the gun and the battery. Raiven picked it up, grunting as he did so, and attached the battery.

KACHEW! WRRRRRRRRRRRRR. The battery kicked the rifle into life. 'Groovy,' Raiven said, hoisting the gun on his shoulder. And then he went after Zarcon.

'Good luck, dad,' Whisper said as she helped Zoe up.

Isodor was having some trouble of his own. He had reached the terminal, and had plugged his gear in... and now was stuck trying to figure out how the ships security systems functioned.

It also didn't help that several Kre'Iax were just around the corner.

Valria slid along her feet before jumping back to avoid being struck again by Zarcon, whom just stepped forward a second time to knock her backwards before he turned to Raiven, reaching out to the side and ripping off a metal railling and threw it at him like a javlin.

As Zarcon was pre'ocupied doing that, Valria charged at him to grab him, yet, was thrown off by Zarcon, whom kicked her off the bridge they were standing up, falling a few feet down to the ground bellow before ripping off another piece of metal and jumped down after her to stab her in the chest.

Valria saw this and rolled aisde in time to avoid getting stabbed as Zarcon attempted to stab her once more, to which Valria started to crawl backwards to avoid being stabbed.

"We have to help them" Zoe told Whisper as she got back to her feet, despite her pain "Firefly needs help...." she told her and started to limp off towards where the others had gone to, only to fall back down to her knees again from the pain still in her leg.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #209 on:** February 01, 2010, 10:58:04 PM

Raiven made a rather awkward jump out of the way. The railing turned missile just passed where his head had been moments ago. However, the weight of the battery and weapon caused him to crash into the ground with a metallic thud.

'Damnit,' he groaned. He hauled himself back to his feet as quickly as he could. The hellrifle felt heavy in his arms, and he wondered how Whisper carried it so easily.

He looked in the distance, and saw the two combatants way off in the distance. He grumbled, now he would have to approach them again, though this time with a little more caution.

Whisper ran over to Zoe and put her arms around her, both as a comfort and as an inhibitor. 'Don't try anything, Zoe. You'll only get hurt, there's nothing we can do. The best thing for us would be to get back to the ship before more of those Kre'Iax arrive to this area.'

'Eureka!' Isodor shouted. He had broken through the security system, much easier than he had imagined. It was enough to make him laugh. 'Gee, who makes these systems... Microsoft?'

And then a bullet struck the wall right beside him, and the squib let out a jolted cry. 'Aw, crap!' He said, ducking behind some piping beside him. 'This makes things a little more complicated.'

Meanwhile, the three guardian robots were returning to the coordinates of the Athos. Since they had the capacity to fly through space under their own power, their programming enabled them to make use of it on their discretion. Problem was, they chose to leave the ship at a very bad time. Their patron was uneventful, but...

Alpha, Delta, and Omega were very surprised to see that their ship was being held inside of another, in as far as a robot could "feel" surprise.

"This is alpha. Contacting anyone inside the Athos. Repeat, this is Alpha, come in." The other two robots followed suit, hoping to make contact with the crew.

Zarcon slammed the metal pole into the ground again as Valria kicked him in the head, giving her just enough time to stand up properly, but yet, to avoid another swing of the pole from Zarcon.

She was completely defenceless at the moment as she rushed for cover, only for Zarcon to grab said cover and throw it aside before swinging at her again "You are starting to get rather annoying now" he told her.

"Yeah, I...get that....a lot" Valria replied back as she dodged two more swings from the pole as she a piece of metal piping herself and used it to block Zarcon's next attacks, whom in turn, kicked her backwards before throwing his one right at Valria, striking her right in the shoulder, and pinning her against the wall.

Valria could only help but yell out in pain as she was pinned against the wall.

T-5.0 rushed to the scene, well, to where Raiven was at least "Where are they?" she asked him.

Meanwhile, Zoe looked to Whisper "But, I want to help her out...." was all she said as she heard Valria yell out in pain in the distance, as she just gasped, seeming to try and move forward some more.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #212 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:18:20 PM

Raiven was still panting for breath, having made his way to some cover close to where Valria was... when T-5.0 arrived. 'Take a look for yourself,' he said, pointing over to where Zarcon had Valria pinned.

'I have a plan,' he continued between breaths. 'If you can hold him down like you did before, I could get a good shot.'

Whisper was practically forced to pin Zoe down. 'Don't be an idiot, Zoe. You'll get us both killed if you try and rush into there.'

Isodor lay behind his cover as bullets pinged off of it. 'This is so not cool,' he whimpered as he continued to scan around on his hand-held terminal. He was glad the ship was laying down at least some form of covering fire... even if that form was sending laser blasts all over the place.

And then he found what he was after. Lock-down controls. Tractor beam power supply. He typed frantically, sweat forming just above his eyes... antenna twitching. Click.

Tractor beam off-line

'Yes!' He cried. And then as there was a lull in the shooting he made his run for the Athos... jumping straight over a rail towards where the ship was. He had no choice.

...he fell for at least forty feet... and hit the ground hard.

'Ow,' he groaned, picking himself up. Then he hobbled the last few meters towards the ship, his legs hurting like hell. He ignored the pain, and just kept moving before the Kre'Iax could draw a bead on him.

Zarcon twisted the pole around, causing more pain to Valria as he walked over to grab another pole and returned, jaming it into Valria's other shoulder.

T-5.0 looked at Raiven and gave a nod as she stepped backwards slightly before running forward and leaping off the bridge, landing right on top of Zarcon and pulled him backwards before the two of them were locked in hand to hand combat.

Valria struggled a little in an attempt to slide off the poles, but with no luck, only causing more pain to herself as she looked over to T-5.0 and Zarcon now going at it. She wanted to say something, but thought it was best not to for now.

Zoe on the other hand, sniffled a little bit "But if we don't help them, they could die, and I don't want that to happen" she spoke as she planted her face down flat on the ground, almost sounding as if she was crying.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #214 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:35:19 PM

'Listen to me,' Whisper said into Zoe's ear as she cried. 'You must learn to overcome your fears. I know you must find it hard to understand. I am a soldier, and I am trained to think on my feet, and make choices. I won't even claim to understand what it must be like to go through what you have... but right now, I need you to get up and come with me. There are some battles we cannot fight, Zoe. This is Valria's fight, not ours.'

She stuck out a hand. 'Quickly, we must go before more Kre'Iax arrive. Please, Zoe.'

Raiven lifted the hellrifle, and set his sights down the barrel of the gun. He just needed that one, small opportunity... that one moment when Zarcon opened himself up for the shot. And then... he would take it.

Isodor practically threw himself back onto the ship, his legs giving way. 'Heron!' He shouted, almost forgetting that he had to use his head. 'Heron! I have the ship data. Tractor beam... off line... she's all yours.'

Then he heard Alpha's voice coming in from the communicator on the controls. He pulled himself towards the cockpit, and threw himself into the seat.

'This is Isodor...' he said, gasping for breath. 'Need support, ASAP.'

MrDrake · **Reply #215 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:42:33 PM

Zoe sniffled a little bit as she didn't say anything back at first as she just grabbed onto Whisper's hand "Yeah, I guess so...."

T-5.0 continued to assult Zarcon, actually managing to land in a fair amount of attacks onto him, knocking him back ever so slightly, which would be the chance that Raiven would get.

Once he had shot Zarcon, the alien warlord fell to his knees before T-5.0 kicked him fight in the face to snap his neck in the process.

T-5.0 then headed over to Valria and pulled out one pole from her, then the other, freeing her from the wall before helping her to her feet "Come, we must get going"

Valria nodded back as she was bleeding rather badly whilst T-5.0 took her back over to where Raiven was "She's hurt rather badly, i don't know how long she'll last"

JitteryDragon · **Reply #216 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:50:07 PM

'Then get her back to the Athos,' Raiven replied. 'There's a medical bay inside, just past the main hallway when you enter the ship. Go, quickly... I'll be with the rest in a moment.'

With that, he headed over to where Zarcon lay, motionless. 'Not so high and mighty now are we, hm?'

He put another laser bolt in his back, just to be sure.

MrDrake · **Reply #217 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:55:36 PM

Just as Raiven was about to shoot him in the back, a shot came out of nowhere and knocked the gun right out of his hand as who approached but none other than Blackbeard himself as she then shot Raiven in the hip next.

"Now, step back landlubber, otherwise the next shot will be going straight through your head" Blackbeard told Raiven rather coldly.

T-5.0 took Valria back to the ship along with Zoe and Whisper, to which Valria spoke "This....still could've....gone better...." she splurted out as she coughed up some blood.

"Firefly...I'm....sorry..." Zoe told her sadly.

"Sorry? You have....nothing to be sorry for" Valria replied back.

"You shouldn't talk at the moment" T-5.0 told Valria as they made their way back to the ship still.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #218 on:** February 02, 2010, 12:05:24 AM

'Ah, typical,' Raiven Grunted, clutching his hip. 'Thanks for finally showing up to the party, shame you missed most of it.'

He fell onto his back, letting his legs rest. 'Son of a bitch,' he muttered.

Whisper hurried onto the ship with Zoe as T-5.0 passed her by with Valria in her arms. 'What the hell is going on with this damn thing?' She shouted, watching as the ship continued to defend itself.

'The computer is playing a game of shoot the Kre'Iax,' Isodor said, hobbling over the where Whisper now stood.

Whisper's eyes widened. 'Oh great, not you too,' she said worryingly.

'Meh... just a few minor fractures... I think. Glad I have three legs, though,' he said with a grin.

Whisper sighed. 'When dad finds out you broke all your legs-'

'Fractured,' Isodor corrected. 'Biiiig difference.'

MrDrake · **Reply #219 on:** February 02, 2010, 12:11:24 AM

Blackbeard just let off a chuckle as he walked forward, right over to Raiven "Now, be a good little fleshling and stay still" he spoke as he shot Raiven right in the foot before turning his attention to Zarcon whom seemed to be dead.

T-5.0 placed Valria down onto one of the beds "Stay here, I'll go and get Raiven" she told them "He had stayed back for some reason....but he should not be gone this long" she added in before nodding to them and taking off once again.

Zoe looked to Valria and limped over to her, kneeling down beside the bed, placing her head down onto the bed, sniffling some more again.
