"We're approaching theós---!" Mr. Bigmouth yanked the sled into a steep turn as a rocket flew past his sled and into the swamp. A plume of water shot up upon its detonation.

He then accelerated, taking care to drive in an uneven and unpredictable pattern.

Aphelion bobbed and weaved as rockets flew past it. Ratchet let forth a blast of missile fire from Aphelions turrets and was rewarded with a large explosion as they masde impact on a rocket. ' object detected , 3000 feet ahead, it appeared to be the cruiser that crashed earlier' Aphelion said ' We're almost there ' Agumon said from the back..

Flares and exhaust plumes dotted the sky as the living planes tried their best to throw off the rockets. Luckily, they were mostly unguided but a few homing rockets were mixed in.

"I see the cruiser!" Captain Fairchild exclaimed. Sure enough, the smoking hull of the downed starship was visible. An explosion nearby indicated that Major Lockie had blown up a group of Rocket Macaques with his cannons.

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

Unfortunately, Mr. Bigmouth's repulsorsled was unarmed. As a result, all he could do was weave precariously around the plumes of water kicked up by impacting rockets.

The soldier on the back of the sled fired his rifle at various Rocket Macaque positions, killing a few but mostly scattering them.

Aphelion reached the cddowned cruiser first and landed the top popped open and the five team members jumped out. agumon and Agumina warpdigivolved, while stitch unlocked his second set of arms. both atchet and Angela had their weapons ready. Ratchets noticed some macques headed towards them and began firing. Stitch went over to the cruiser which had a door haklf open but driven deep into the muds. as stitch began to use his strength to try and open the door further, the others were firing at the enemy.

The living planes were the next to arrive. They circled the area, keeping the Crane Archers and Rocket Macaques at bay with a combination of cannon and rocket fire.

Plumes of mud and water shot into the sky as Captain Fairchild and Major Lockie hammered the enemy forces. Even though Captain Fairchild had numerous arrows sticking out of his wings and belly, they did not penetrate deeply enough to reach his fuel tanks or control lines.

-----------

Mr. Bigmouth finally pulled into a clearing where the rocket fire abated somewhat. He coughed at the stench of burnt rocket propellant and gunpowder. He then scowled as he saw the wrecked starship in the distance. Flashes of light against the night sky indicated that there was heavy fighting going on.

"We're almost there!" he exclaimed. He shut off all lights on the sled and activated its stealth mode which activated infrared lights and dialed the engine to its lowest power, hoping to sneak by the enemy forces.

The soldier said nothing as shut off the spotlight and reloaded his rifle.

"I do hope things go well for them." Sara said to Stripetail and the others nearby. "Things may get hard for them." She said as she sipped some tea in a fine china type of material cup.

"Guess we'll find out sooner or later. " She said. She looked out the window, if one is present, as she sipped her tea.

Nick22 · **Reply #2366 on:** August 20, 2014, 01:06:59 AM

Stitch managed to get the door open, using his strength, allowing ratchet and angekla the chance sneak inside. Wargreymon and Wargreywomon were having good sucess driving off the macques, screams reached their ears as they hit target after target. Wargreymon noticed the repulsorsled nearly to the shuttle ' a couple more minutes agumina' he said to his partner.

inside ratchet lit a flare fro his holopak, lighting up the area. boxes were stewn around in front of them. and it was not easy moving about.

The blacked out sled managed to sneak by the enemy forces. Mr. Bigmouth donned a set of infrared goggles and used the IR illuminator on his rifle to look around. Carefully routing around a large crater, he saw Stitch, Angela and Ratchet enter the wrecked ship.

"Ratchet, this is Bigmouth. I am armed and following you inside the starship. Do not shoot me by accident!" he whispered into his headset mic. He aimed his tricorder at the ship's entrance. No pathogens or toxins were detected.

The bright light from Ratchet's flares obviated the need for the IR goggles and illuminator, so the Sauropholus took them off and stashed them in his messenger bag.

He looked around. Crates of various supplies were scattered everywhere. Many of them had been broken open, spilling their contents on the ground.

Nick22 · **Reply #2368 on:** August 20, 2014, 01:33:07 AM

'understood bigmouth will be waiting for you to enter.' came the reply.
the two digimon returned to normal size and scurried inside the ship. once they were all inside stitch closed the door slightly.
-
Angela picked up a cracked box, inside there appeared to be boxes of food ' thios one is full of something called animal crackers ' she said reaching in and holding up a box.. Stitch grabbed the box from her and tore it open and began wolfing down the crackers ' mesa hungry' he said between crunching down..' good thing you left me my fingers ' Angeka said sourly.
- ratchets flares wre soon joined by the magic rom agumon and aguminas rings " Find anything useful Bigmouth?' Agumon asked, as he pushed some broken boxes out of the way.

Serris · **Reply #2369 on:** August 23, 2014, 11:43:44 PM

The air smelled very metallic. Mr. Bigmouth looked around. It was then he noticed a pallet of drums. Examining the labels, he found that those drums contained the same liquid metal coolant that the Spire of Winter used.

"Spare coolant to replace what was lost in the crash landing." Mr. Bigmouth gestured to the pallet of drums.

He then looked around the hold. "I thought we were supposed to rescue the crew. The ship's empty." Mr. Bigmouth showed the tricorder to Agumon. The device's screen just displayed thr names of the salvage group (the tricorder had been programmed with the lifesigns of the Spire of Winter's crew).

Nick22 · **Reply #2370 on:** August 24, 2014, 12:13:31 AM

they might have bailed on the ship once it got ' Hit Agumon said.' better look around some more. theres a couple rooms up ahead. he walked forward using his ring to move boxes out of the way. the area was lit up by ratchets red flares ' these flares will last about 10 minutes guys' Ratchet said as he followed Agumon ' 'fiound anything?' stripetail voice come out of Agumon's ring." no sign of the crew.. so far" agumon replied.

"I do hope everyone on the ship is ok." Sara said. She paused in drinking the tea she was drinking as she thought of where the ones in the ship could be. She assumed they had bailed out before the crash. Perhaps their communications or beacon that would normally lead rescuers to them could have been jammed or damaged.

Serris · **Reply #2372 on:** August 26, 2014, 12:25:45 AM

Mr. Bigmouth radioed Stripetail using his headset mic. "I found coolant that we can use in our ship. No sign of the crew though.

He then opened a cabinet and found that the survival kit had been taken. "I don't see any signs of violence and the survival kit's gone. My guess is that the crew might be some where nearby. Bigmouth out."

Nick22 · **Reply #2373 on:** August 26, 2014, 01:28:00 AM

Good. How much did you find of the coolant? In the meantime, search around the area. they may be nearby, as you said. If you find anything else of importance let me know' stripetail said via the radio transmitter "We'll be sending a salvage crew after you get back here stripetail out".

stitch finished wolfing down the crackers and headed into another room full of supplies, which he started grabbing and carrying out into the main chamber ' mesa helping' he grinned flashing his teeth, as he piled up supplies.

Serris · **Reply #2374 on:** September 02, 2014, 09:05:45 AM

Mr. Bigmouth looked at the stack of drums. "I'd say we have enough to refill the ship's coolant with some to spare. As for the crew, I will search for them."

He then turned to Ratchet and his group. "Ratchet, Stripetail has ordered me to search for the ship's crew. I would like some assistance."

Mr. Bigmouth then scowled as he heard the distant sounds of battle. That noise did not bode well for the missing crew.

Nick22 · **Reply #2375 on:** September 02, 2014, 01:52:05 PM

Sure " Ratchet said, and he worked a stuck open witrh his wrench, the door finalkly yielded ans the contents of the room spilled out on top of him. this area was were the weapons were stiored and ratchet squueezed out from ubnder the boxes with Angelas Help ' these look like stuff Gagetron would make Ratchet said opening a box and finding a pistol." i"I think we had better go check out that fighting nearby' Angela said as she took a pistol as well.

Serris · **Reply #2376 on:** September 03, 2014, 09:53:12 PM

"Bigmouth!" Captain Fairchild's voice came through Mr. Bigmouth's radio. "I have a visual on a battle about six kilometers away. I'll be checking it out. Fairchild out."

Mr. Bigmouth cut the radio feed and called for a salvage crew. "A salvage crew should arriving," he said to Ratchet and Angela. "Right now, I'll be checking out the battle site."

(RICMS Spire of Winter)

"Bentley, this is Captain Carson. Please respond with your coordinates. My crew has found your ship and will be heading to your position for assistance."

The captain released the speak button and waited for a reply. She sipped her now cold glass of tea.

tempestwheel · **Reply #2377 on:** September 03, 2014, 11:46:21 PM

"Right away," Bentley replied, delivering the coordinates of their location. "Please hurry!"

Bentley quickly pulled up a plan he had worked out for his team.

"So this is how we'll get to safety huh?" Jing figured

Serris · **Reply #2378 on:** September 04, 2014, 12:02:55 AM

Captain Fairchild was the first to arrive. He raked the attacking troops with his 30 mm autcannon, hoping to get the forces to target him instead of Bentley.

-----------

Mr. Bigmouth recieved the coordinates and input them into the sled's autopilot. His sled was operating in blackout mode with IR lights but the whine of the engine at full throttle was hard to hide.

Nevertheless, he switched his rifle from safe to burst fire and steeled himself for battle.

Kor · **Reply #2379 on:** September 06, 2014, 03:32:47 PM

"what sort of plan do you have?" Gron asked, curious on what sort of plan that Bently would have and wondering what his explanation would be like. But still eager to hear it, and curious as well.
