"Maybe, we'll see about that," Twilight said as she munched on a apple picked from one of the trees lining the boulevard she was trotting along.

"Hmm. That does sound trustworthy," Ms. Swimmer said as she took a bite of her tempeh burger.

Mr. Bigmouth took a drink of water. "Nevertheless, I suggest we meet them armed."

"Our initial meeting was scheduled to be a ship-to-ship hail," said Shakila. "And you know that top-quality mercenaries are never unarmed and will not take kindly to being mistrusted; they've put a lot of work into reaching this level of respectability. If you won't trust them after what amounts to a Presidential Seal of Approval from multiple countries, we should cancel contract and go it alone because nobody more trustworthy is coming our way."

"Shakila," Mr. Bigmouth began. "I suggest weó"

"Attention all crew. We have arrived at our destination. Will Shakila report to the radio room." Captain Carson's announcement broke off the argument.

we will hail them, as planned ' stripetail said firmly he looked at Mr Bigmouth. ' we are paying them good money, they would have a lot to lose, both in money and reputation, if they played us false. there is no real need for face to face contact, mercenaries usually do business through ship-to-ship hailing. we should reach the agreed spot within the hour.'

"Yea, just think. You may be more popular then some other book writers. Maybe this should be comic books, or both a book and a comic." Spike said, getting a bit excited.

Shakila left the room before she had to talk to the irate dinosaur again.

"Do we have any desert?" Asked Aimee, oblivious to any hostilities.

Nick22 · **Reply #1506 on:** September 26, 2013, 07:33:11 PM

We have ice cream, pie, and smores' Stripetail said looking at the choices.
- Tiger ordered a pie for dessert, while tigereess and spyro looked at the menu. scooby sighed happily, his gut buldging. dixie was picking up the bill for the five of them..

Belmont2500 · **Reply #1507 on:** September 26, 2013, 08:02:31 PM

Renamon smiled. "I suppose a few smores won't hurt." She chided. But unknown to the others, a portal had opened up in the ship's cargo hold and two beings emerged from it....

Nick22 · **Reply #1508 on:** September 26, 2013, 08:08:30 PM

kopa got an order of dessert for both of the lions rooms. ' just send me the bill you guys' he called out to kovu in the next room.
-
thanks bro" kovu smiled. " i could go for a pie.. what about you honey.' He asked Kiara.

"Ice cream," Kiara grinned.

"Give me something sweet," Vitani added with a smirk.

Fox was handing out more Khan flyers, she and Rabbit had found a tiny level of success by this point.

"MMM, smores." Guilmon said, remembering the times he had eaten some smores before. The memory of eating those clear on his face. Before he went back to eating his food.

"I saw someone use Bunsen burners to make some smores once." Velma said.

"Hmm, I think the 3rd doctor may have done that, during his time in UNIT's British headquarters. Or maybe it was Jo Grant." Jason said.

Shakila arrived at the radio room. "Captain?" She stood at attention, and saluted.

Belmont2500 · **Reply #1512 on:** September 29, 2013, 09:35:55 PM

A four armed amazon and a ninja from the Nether realm emerge in the cargo hold. One was a female Shokan by the name of Sheeva. And the ninja went by the name of Scorpion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Interesting. It reminds me of the day Ruki and the others made bread in the shape of a Guilemon like yourself." Renamon replied.

tempestwheel · **Reply #1513 on:** October 01, 2013, 12:02:48 AM

"What kind of pie do you want dear?" Kiara asked Kovu

Serris · **Reply #1514 on:** October 04, 2013, 12:08:48 AM

Captain Carson turned to Shakila and returned the salute.

"All right, you hail the ship and then when it comes to the terms, I'll start discussing them," she said. "In addition, fetch Stripetail. He must know about this."

Nick22 · **Reply #1515 on:** October 04, 2013, 01:26:28 AM

Blueberry pie' Kovu said after looking through the menu. ' What are you getting dear?" he asked Kiara
- spyro finished his meal, then loooked for the dessert menu, he was still hungry..

"Mr. Stripetail, the captain has requested you in the radio room," Shakila said over comms. Then she opened hailing frequencies. "Mercenary, this is the Spire of Winter."

"But of course," the reply came, with a distinct French accent. "Firstly, I must speak with your captain. If he doesn't know what he's getting into, this trip will be the second worst thing that happens to him today."

"Pardon, but what would the worst thing be?" asked Shakila.

"The trip's ending," came the simple reply.

Serris · **Reply #1517 on:** October 04, 2013, 09:43:46 PM

Captain Carson took command of the radio. "This is Captain Sharon Carson of the RICMS Spire of Winter. I read you loud and clear. I wish to discuss the terms of the deal."

Nick22 · **Reply #1518 on:** October 05, 2013, 02:11:44 AM

Stripetail pushed in his seat, and laid some money on the table. ' dinners on me' everyone, he said to the others nearby " so order as you please. i must go talk with the mercenaries who will be guiding us to Skylands... he turned as headed out of the restaurant.. as he walked down the hallway he suddenly felt a powerful, familar , evil presence.. ' you ARE slipping , old friend. In the old days Chong would have been dead by now, and we would be much further along in our little game.. very well, if you wont make the first move.. I will.. try and keep up.. or there wont be much left of the Skylands.. that fool Kaos is so weak he has his mother fight his battles? how utterly pathetic.. almost as pathetic as that little group of yours..they have you fight all their battles for them..you'd better have them ready for the tests ahead, or this fight of ours will become a laugher.. for me.. don't worry... we'll meet face to face.. soon enough..' Mertavius' voice faded and stripetail was alone with his thoughts. inwardly, he fumed. mertavius was taunting him..

"Ze terms are clear," the French voice replied. "You have already agreed to the ten million, half now and half at the end. What I must ensure you understand is the gravity of this trip."

In the background, an Australian voice was heard. "Doe, we've got those asteroids on port, like we thought."

"All right gentlemen," a voice growled. "Man the turrets! Last one alive, lock the door! Pa-POW!"

"...Merde..." The French voice sighed. "As I was saying, there will be pirates, black holes, dangers you've never even heard of. Invisible spacebound bodiless creatures who could swallow both of our ships in a blink. Tyrants with fleets of navy bloodfighters harboring dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty. You may lose all of your men. You may lose your own life. There are no guarantees where we are going. If you have any reason to back out, take it now and never look back. Many of our clients should have heeded this warning."
