"You're free to borrow one of the electric carts or repulsorsleds if you don't feel like walking," a Wolverine mechanic said as he passed by them on a sled carrying scrap metal to be recycled.

Soon enough, Aimee and her team had landed on the giant ship as well, with the small group getting out, Riley in particular though, was not all that pleased right now "There had better be at least, somewhere where I can get some real sleep" she groaned.

"Well, this ship is rather big as it is, so I'm certain there is a place to rest up....now, where the hell is the captain of this ship?" Aimee asked as she glanced around before she started to head off in one direction with her team following her.

Brooklyn relayed the message to Jason.

"I can use the Anti-gravity spiral beam to reduce the pull of gravity on the living planes then a tractor beam to pull them up to where they can dock with the ship themselves." He said, his tardis dematerializing so it can materialize much higher up in the air so it could be ready to do this. Hovering in place till everyone was ready.

Serris · **Reply #323 on:** November 27, 2011, 04:27:04 AM

The four living planes landed and refueled at the airport.

Rainbow then radioed Jason. "Jason, this is Rainbow, set the antigrav beam to a narrow tunnel or something. If we reduce gravity enough, we should be able to reach escape velocity. Over."

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

Ms. Swimmer and Dr. Zanasiu decided to walk. Zachary, Strut, Deimos, Mr. Bigmouth and Rime decided to hop onto some repulsorsleds.

Luckily, they were pretty easy to drive.

most of stripetail's group decided to walk, everyone taking in the new surroundings. the floor clankede withh the sounds of paws and claws and feet walking on it ' so i'm giessing everyone will have thier own rooms ' dul;cy said. ' yes, everyone will need to sign in onvce we reach our lodgoingds.. we will be spending a loing time here.. stripetail saiud. as they passed a sign which send Winterville, One mile"

Kor · **Reply #325 on:** November 28, 2011, 12:02:14 AM

Jason did as requested and sent the coordinates. "I also have a tractor beam as well within that, so those 2 combined should help all of you to get into space." He said. "It looks like the others have boarded so the space area around should be all clear."

Nick22 · **Reply #326 on:** December 01, 2011, 09:35:00 PM

The group made good time in reaching Winterville, which was quite a sight to see. the Pridelanders had never seen such a large town befoire, as there were no cities near the Pridelands. ' this is really cool' Lilo said " a town inside a spaceship. " i could go shopping.. go out for dinner with Lilo Stitch and Angel' nani said..
_ I hope theres a movie theather here " shaggy said " whats a town without a place to go see movies?
_
Where will we be staying? Bart asked as they began walking down the seet and began passing residents of the town. " well From what the captain told me.. we are on the north end of town " stripretail said.

Serris · **Reply #327 on:** December 02, 2011, 04:09:49 AM

Zachary looked up. The town actually had simulated weather systems; right now it was lightly drizzling. "Damn, this must have cost a pretty penny."

Several of the inhabitants waved at the group.

Mr. Bigmouth whistled as he looked at the town. "The four planes would have no problem being able to fly around. Sure, they only fly maybe a thousand or so feet high but still."

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

Thanks to the combination of the tractor beam and antigrav beam, the four living planes easily reached orbit. Unfortunately, because their control surfaces were useless in a vacuum, they had to be passively guided into the landing bay.

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

A few minutes later, all four of the planes landed inside the sleek hangar.

"Well that was interesting," Major Lockie said.

Rainbow smirked. "Well, I can finally shut Blackie up!"

Blackie was a living SR-71 Blackbird and the fastest plane they knew. His top speed was somewhere around mach 3.5 - or even higher.

"Yeah good for you," Captain Fairchild said.

Luckily, they had radioed Captain Carson and she was there to greet them along with several mechanics.

"As you already know, I am Captain Sharon Carson," Captain Carson said.

"Pleased to meet you, I am Captain Aaron Fairchild," Captain Fairchild said.

"Major Martin Lockie."

"2nd Lt. Gen Martin."

"Major Allison Douglas. But I'd prefer it if you used my call sign - Rainbow."

Major Lockie rolled his eyes. Rainbow was brave and friendly but she had a rather large ego and was a touch on the vain side.

"So where do we stay?" Lt. Martin asked.

"You'll have to stay in the vehicle bay; we don't have an airport in the town," Captain Carson said. "Also, are there any unusual things we need to know?"

"We can self heal to a limited extent and we need to eat scrap metal to heal. Other than that, we're pretty much the same as ordinary non-living planes," Major Lockie said.

"Also, is there a place where we can test our weapons?" Captain Fairchild asked.

"Captain, save the munitions for when we meet Chong!"

"No need. We have onboard factories that manufacture nearly everything we need. As for a test range, there's the Winterville Proving Grounds in the south part of the town. You're free to practice with your weapons," Captain Carson said. "Now I'll just leave you to get comfortable."

"There, they are safely docked and such." Jason said.

"So we can go there ourselves?" Gnash asked.

"Sure, wouldn't you like to get a chance to walk around?" Jason asked looking at Gnash.

"I would. They may have nice food there."Guilmon said, rubbing his stomach briefly.

"Everyone else is there. We may as well go ourselves." Brooklyn said.

STripetail guided his groioup to the Winterville Hotel where a clerk was waiting for the them My name is Fagin and you must be the wizard and his group. We hsave reseved the first and second floors for you " please pick up your welcome pacakages on the table near the front desk.

Serris · **Reply #330 on:** December 03, 2011, 03:00:31 AM

Captain Fairchild decided to radio Stripetail. "Stripetail, this is Captain Fairchild, Rainbow, Lt. Martin, Major Lockie and I have arrived safely. Captain Fairchild out."

MrDrake · **Reply #331 on:** December 03, 2011, 04:11:16 AM

Riley looked at signpost and just scoffed as she read it Winterville "There's a whole town on this spaceship? Heh, never would've guessed that and..." she stopped as she felt it drizzling "Either their sprinkler system is faulty or..."

"Drizzling? Yeah, looks like it" Jackson added in, glancing upwards "Makes me wonder what else they have on here as well, a town, a weather system, next there'll be a beach with surf and all" he laughed as the group headed towards the town.

"I wouldn't put it past them" Riley just grumbled back "As long as they have a hotel we can check in, I'll be just fine"

"Well, only one way to find out really" Aimee added in as they just kept on walking still "I just hope that Stripetail and the others did head into the town as well, otherwise, we'll just end up getting lost and all"

"It seems to be the logical thing to do, I mean, if we're all going to fight Chong, then resting up would be the most logical thing to do" Darwin then added in.

Kor · **Reply #332 on:** December 03, 2011, 12:30:23 PM

"So where are we materializing?" Brooklyn asked.

"I've undecided. Maybe a park. Would be nice to walk in a park for a bit. And who'd notice an extra tree. or maybe a parking lot next to the park." Jason said.

"Or another parking lot in case the park is closed. Assuming the place has a park." Brooklyn said.

"I'll have the tardis scan the whole place, then show us some likely places and we can decide together. How about that?" Jason said smiling as he looked at the others.

"Sounds good to me." Gnash said.

"Yea, near a place with food." Guilmon said.

"I'll wait till I can see what alternatives there are." Velma said.

Nick22 · **Reply #333 on:** December 05, 2011, 08:52:37 PM

Chong and Hailey were closing in on the Phoenix, the ships computer indicates they were less than 3 hours away from the Phoenix's current location..

Scooby and dixie took rooms on the second floor. each room could hold four occupants, but for now Scooby and Dixie would be by themselves..

(Phoenix

Dr. Kerzach had finished cleaning up the ship and repairing the damage.

Several of the soldiers were eating at the cafe.

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

(Spire of Winter

Mr. Bigmouth got his own room. He packed nothing except for some electronics and magical projects that Stripetail wanted him to work on. All of his weapons were stored in the armory of the ship. Weapons (with the exception of pistols, knives and similar sized items) were permitted only in the shooting range near Winterville Proving Grounds.

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

Rime and Deimos got into their rooms and unpacked their personal belongings. Both of them wore a simple vest with pockets for ammunition and other such items. Both of them had their pistols holstered. Of course, Deimos decided to hide his .50 caliber rifle.

"This hotel's really nice," Rime said as he slid his cased rifle under the bed.

Deimos said nothing as he got to work stripping and cleaning his pistol.

---------

Ms. Swimmer knocked on Cynder's door. "Cynder! Spyro! You got any extra room?"

She had her magic staff along with her dual sticks and club in a bag at her feet. Inside that bag was some very nice jewelry that she had previously scavenged during the war.

----------

The four living planes had their weaponry removed and set aside as was protocol for the vehicles in the bay. They had also been refueled and fitted with transponders that allowed them to open the blast doors that led to either the runway into space or the runway to Winterville.

While Rainbow, Lt. Martin and Major Lockie were chatting with the ground crew. Captain Fairchild was getting loaded for his practice run. He carried a set of 30 mm training rounds. While these rounds flew like his regular API rounds, they lacked incendiary compounds, explosives or depleted uranium. He also wore two rocket pods on his wings. These were standard high explosive rockets.

He slowly rolled onto the runway and waited for the all clear. Once that was done, he lit his engines and sped down the runway leading to the proving grounds.

Spyro opened the door. Sure ms Swimmer , please come in. we're right next to Scooby and Dixie. we were given rooms according to our rank, and we are all next to each other..'
Cynder had settled on the bed and was trying to settle into sleep.
_ tiger and Tigeress were settled into thier room " This isn't bad Genki said too bad theres no TV.. ' genki we're going though space, you don't need to play any video games Tigeress said.."Once everyone has settled in thier room
we will be meeting in the lobby' Stripetail radioed from his room.. This looks like a nice place, Better get used to these rooms we're gong to be staying here for awhile..
_ Kopa and kiara were deciding what bed which pair of royals woulkd get.. " So I guess we're all in this room right? Kovu asked gazed at the large bed in front of them.. " well yeah " vitani shrugged. " i'm not picky about who gets what..

"Found a place." Jason said. Soon the tardis materialized. "Best take some umbrellas, never know if it may rain." He said checking the readings of the exterior before he unlocked the door.

"Looks like a pleasant park, like anywhere on earth." Velma said. "Or certain other places." She said.

"Very pretty." Guilmon said, looking at the holographic view screen.

"Very good idea to have a park in space for a variety of reasons. Provides better smelling air then machines, psychological, and other reasons." Jason said.

"The same reasons there's a garden in the tardis?" Brooklyn asked.

"yes. I think only a machine race would not want a garden. And some of them, like the autobots, maximals and certain others enjoy them as well." Jason said.

"Especially Beachcomber." Gnash said.

"though instead of a technological umbrella I'd rather use a magic ring that does the same. Less to carry." Velma said.

"Good idea. Pick out your umbrella rings then lets go out for a stroll outside." Jason said, opening the small storage area in the wall near the exit door with numerous rings and picking out one before he walked outside.

Serris · **Reply #337 on:** December 11, 2011, 02:53:55 AM

Ms. Swimmer placed her clubs, twin sticks and a small case containing various enchanted jewelry in a corner of the room. She had her staff with her.

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

Mr. Bigmouth was the first to arrive in the lobby.

"So, Stripetail, I understand that you wanted to see us?"

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

Captain Fairchild was at the proving grounds. He let fly with a volley of high explosive rockets at a target they had carved on the grass. A thunderous series of explosions rippled through the air as the rockets struck their mark.

He heard Stripetail's voice. "This is Captain Fairchild."

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

Major Lockie, Lt. Martin and Rainbow were huddled around a telescreen in the hangar.

Lt. Martin activated the screen with her manipulator claws. Soon, Stripetail's image appeared on it.

"Stripetail, you called?" she asked.

Nick22 · **Reply #338 on:** December 11, 2011, 01:59:18 PM

Yes Mr Big mouth have a seat I'll wait for everyone to arrive before beginning our meeting " stripetail said.. trying to catch cvhong will not be easy, as space is enormous and we have no idea where he is.. or who is helping him.. our group this time will be much smaller than when we fought the war against Chong and Dragonstorm..all included we've got about 50 in my group, at the most..

Serris · **Reply #339 on:** December 11, 2011, 08:02:28 PM

Mr. Bigmouth returned with a glass of orange juice. "If I recall, the Spire of Winter has a few thousand troops. If we can get Captain Carson to authorize use of them, then we should be fine."

"If I may, Commander," Rainbow's voice cut in from the telescreen on the meeting table. "There are several armored vehicles inside the hangar."

Dr. Zanasiu, Rime, Strut, Zachary, Deimos and Ms. Swimmer arrived at the table with their breakfast.

"So what are we planning right now?" Deimos asked.

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

Captain Fairchild was flying alongside a member of the Spire of Winter's air force.

He flashed his wingtip lights in an aviation version of a thumbs up.

The pilot saluted and broke off to continue his own exercises.
