"Hailey" Aimee replied back "We had fought side by side in a final battle ordeal, took on the Horseman War himself, we did beat him, killed him, but then Death himself showed up and killed her" she explained as she followed Stripetail towards the hanger.

***

Hailey just sat in the chair as th ship moved, flicking through the pages of the manuel, as if to try and understand how to fly it better. But to her, at least it was moving and that was a start no less.

"Let's see how things are." Jason said, using the controls to use the medium and long range & scanners to get an image of the 2 ships. He also did the controls so the others could see the readout as a hologram easily visible to all in the control room.

"Looks like the other one is moving." Gnash said.

"Could mean dire things indeed inside." Jason said.

"That would fit the facts since they appear to be moving away instead of towards us or remaining in place." Velma said.

"Do a scan and access the gallifrayan records & other sources available to us of any planets in the area they could head to based on their course." Jason said to the tardis.

----

"So what do we do till we head out or whatever?" Sara asked. She looked around. "I guess Jason & the others slipped away to go to his tardis, to use the sensors the tardis has."

(The Spire of Winter)

Mr. bigmouth relayed the data from Jason to Captain Carson.

Less than a minute later, an announcement came over the speaker system in the hangar.

"Attention! All shuttles prepare for deployment! The target has been spotted and is fleeing!

At this, the Pelvanida group boarded the nearest shuttles. Several of the soldiers joined them as well.

The first shuttle containing some soldiers was the first to take off.

Phoenix

Dr. Kerzach was busy frying some catfish he had obtained from the onsite farm.

"This is ridiculous," he muttered as he placed freshly battered fillets into the fryer.

the chase was now on, as the phoenix started pulling away from the Spire of Winter. the gap between the two ships soon grew as stripetail told the others to not board the shuttle. ' These shuttles are not designed to cover lsarge stretches of space. we ar simply going to have to chase chong and the phoenix doiwn.
( the Phoenix.)
Hailey! That ship is getting too close " Fire on anything that tries to come on board " chong radioed from the cafe..

Serris · **Reply #405 on:** January 17, 2012, 12:57:11 AM

The first shuttle to approach was instantly destroyed by the Phoenix's point defense lasers.

The rest of the shuttles tried to make it through but the advanced targeting systems of the starship meant that they would not make it through.

Some of the shuttles retaliated with their 30 mm autocannons but the point defense lasers were hidden in armored pods.

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

(Spire of Winter)

Captain Carson watched as shuttle after shuttle was shot down. She immediately ordered the shuttles to cease launching and increased the ship's speed.

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

The blast doors in the hangar slid shut as the shuttles powered down.

The Pelvanida group disembarked from the shuttles.

"So now what?" Deimos asked.

Nick22 · **Reply #406 on:** January 17, 2012, 02:20:50 AM

we are going to chase down that ship ' stripetail replied..' but that appeares as if it will take siome time, as chong has clearly taken over the ship and will try and outrun us, to what end i don't know..

"So what do we do?" Brooklyn asked watching the readout.

"Best to watch I think, instead of rushing in ourselves." Jason said. "There'll be time to act later."

"Better then us splitting up and some of us being chased around." Velma said.

"Hmm," Jason said looking at the readout of information. "Some of those possible destination worlds are or will be interesting. That brown bluish one in the corner to the right of the blue star, as I recall in a few centuries time will, for about 20 years, will have a cafe that will make the best hot dogs and ice cream in the sector."

"Fire?" Hailey asked herself as she flicked through the ship's manuel some more in trying to find out how the weapons were to activated and soon, had found out just that as she in turn, activated them and started to fire in the direction of where the other ships were coming from, trying to keep the other ship away at the very least.

Nick22 · **Reply #409 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:20:37 PM

those shuttles that were not destroyed were now back onboard the Spire of winter, as the occupants paused to get the survivors back onboard, the phoenix sped away until it was no longer visible..

nick was busy cooking food in the kitchen. inside he was fuming. here he was working for Chong again! only this time, he was likely not going to be paid at all.. it was like something out a concentratiuon camp..

MrDrake · **Reply #410 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:24:42 PM

Hailey looked out and saw the shuttles were retreating instead of trying to chase them down as shespoke up over the intercom "Looks like they've retreated and...." Hailey looked at the control pannel before speaking some more "The closest planet shouldn't be all that far away, if I'm reading it all correctly"

Nick22 · **Reply #411 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:28:47 PM

lets head there, we need to gsather supplies.. chong said in reply.. ' we should also look for. er. volunteers' he smirked.. 'guests we could invite aboard..how far until we reach the planet..?"

MrDrake · **Reply #412 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:32:33 PM

Hailey looked at the control pannel again "Uhh...." she started, scratching the back of her head a little bit "Not....long?" she asked back as a blinking light showed up with a small buzzing noise "What the? Excuse me for a moment, something's blinking on the control pannel and...."

Her gaze looked up outside and saw a planet ahead of them, starting to get bigger and bigger with each passing second. She looked at the speed that they were going at "Uh oh...."

Nick22 · **Reply #413 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:38:00 PM

alarms began to dsound on the phoenix ' begin crash prepartions1 a voice screeched over the loudspeakers..

Spire of Winter
ratchet Clank and Angela took advantage of the return to Winterville to spend some time walking around the park. ' so where do you and Clank live when you guys aren't on Veldin? angela asked " Metropolis and planet Igliak " Clank said. ' its actually got great views.. ' well i hope i won't be intruding.. angela shrugged ' Nah, you'll be fine.. i mean the only two Lombaxes living together, what could go wroing?' Ratchet smirked..

MrDrake · **Reply #414 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:44:47 PM

Hailey spoke over the intercom to Chong again "Um yeah, about that blinking light, I think it was a warning that we're about to crash land" she spoke with a nervous sounding chuckle as she prepared for the crash landing. The ship did indeed, start crashing through trees until it finally crashed onto the ground, near a castle of sorts.

She rubbed her forehead as she stepped away from the cockpit of the ship and headed over to where Chong was "Well, at least we....landed....heh heh..."

(The Spire of Winter)

Captain Carson saw the Phoenix, spiraling towards the unnamed planet. She checked her star charts and swore; they were in an uncharted area. The The Spire of Winter powerful laser cannon had managed to destroy the Phoenix's main engines.

"Attention! We have spotted the Phoenix, prepare for orbital insertion!" she said into the intercom.

She then strapped herself in and carefully maneuvered the ship so it could enter the atmosphere at a controlled pace. As the ship was the size of a small town, the last thing she wanted was an uncontrolled freefall which would kill everyone aboard and severely damage the planet's ecosystem.

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

Mr. Bigmouth looked at the PDA and noticed that the gunners had destroyed the Phoenix's engine. "Oh, Nick's not going to like that."

"No s---!" Deimos replied.

"All right, let's find a place where we can strap in for landing," Zachary said.

The ground crew got to work securing the four living planes.

Kor · **Reply #416 on:** January 18, 2012, 01:48:41 AM

"Looks like both ships are going in for a landing. Or at least this one we are in is. The other does appear to be crashing maybe. " Jason said.

"Or making a very hasty landing." Brooklyn said.

"Maybe they are in a hurry or something." Gnash said.

'Will the tardis be ok while they land?" Velma asked.

"No rough landing?" Guilmon asked.

"Nah, we'll just dematerialize and nip forward a few seconds or minutes to once they've landed. From the sensors it looks like this ship here is doing a controlled landing. You know I don't think I've gotten the name. I should one of these days, but no hurry." Jason said as the console column started to rise briefly.

Serris · **Reply #417 on:** January 20, 2012, 04:09:39 PM

Captain Carson carefully maneuvered the ship and set it down in a large plain next to a forest. The ship landed so gently that only a slight jolt could be felt.

She congratulated herself; she had landed a ship the size of a small town without damaging it or the planet.

She unfastened her safety restraints and alerted everyone.

Attention! We have landed. We need volunteers to scan the planet. she said into the intercom.

MrDrake · **Reply #418 on:** January 20, 2012, 05:57:15 PM

Aimee approached Captain Carson "I'll be going, that ship that was shot down, if who I think it is, is on it, then I need to find her and have a little chat with her" she told her before turning to her teammates "You guys stay here, just incase they need some help around here"

Jackson nodded back to Aimee "Don't worry, we'll be sure to be on standby, just incase as you said"

Aimee nodded back to them again before she turned and headed off towards the hanger, ready to step out onto the planet.

Kor · **Reply #419 on:** January 21, 2012, 01:57:31 AM

Jason & his tardis, with his friends inside, materialized.

"There, they should have landed by now. Let's do a scan to add to the information the time lord data base has, and send out a scout." Jason said. The tardis started to scan the area, adding to the information it had as Jason went to a wall, opening a concealed compartment. He reached in and brought out what looked like a tiny insect. This was a robot scout type with various scanners and such. He went to door, the tardis unlocking the door automatically. He put a hand to the door & the robot scout flew off.

"There, we'll soon have more information. " Jason said. "just be sure to upload some information to the ship the others are on." Jason said.

"The background radiation, gravity, and air seem very similar to earth." Brooklyn said, looking at a small screen on the console, having been taught how to read some of the readouts and such.

"Good. Let's get a basic visual view of some scenes." Jason said. 1 of the walls seemed to vanish and part of the floor near the wall and bits of the 2 nearby walls so it could display some views of the area around where the tardis was.

"Looks like a pretty nice area, so far." Velma said.
