Even worse than being lost at sea

Rachel would, disturbingly, not sense a reply to her words.

A moment later, though, Cal's voice spoke up in the same mechanical tones. "Vessel designated 'vessel 2' matching configuration of the vessel docked with us. Assuming 91.2332 percent probability that they are in league. Taking apropriate countermeasures."

With that, there was a sudden repeated 'thrum' as Cal diverted the power that had been going to the now-useless life support and powered up the weapons, opening fire on one of the ships as it passed in range.

On the other side of the airlock came a metallic scraping noise. Whatever it was, it didn't sound like it was good for their airlock, not that it was any real concern of theirs anymore.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 10:11 pm

"We should get ready to greet that boarding party," Kev said, arming himself as he moved closer to the airlock.

...

Arr.

by **Melody Martens** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 10:15 pm

"God damn alien assholes," Melody growled. "Take some cover, people. I've got a bad feeling they're coming onto this ship shooting,"

She took her own advice,getting out of direct line of fire from the airlock and making several small bombs.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 10:19 pm

Daniel, in the meantime, kept in very clear view, though a bit aside so the cockpit wasn't right behind him, and waited, watching the airlock.

by **Taliyah Malik** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 10:26 pm

Taliyah frowned, "Not exactly in the best shape for a scrape. But if they're looking for a fight...."

An aura of red light blazed around her as she spoke.

bobby hoisted his rifle, clicking off the safety and taking aim.

by **Narrator** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:04 pm

The airlock door seemed to disintegrate in a cloud of burning hot fumes, driving the X-Men back. The voices of the armored Kree were shouting in a language none of them understood, but the gesturing of their guns was unmistakeable.

Outside the ship, there seemed to be a three way space battle going between their ship, a boxy-looking segmented ship, and a gold, bullet-shaped ship.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:15 pm

Rachel opened fire on the Kree.

by **Melody Martens** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:15 pm

Melody yelled as she spun out from cover to shower the doorway with flash-bangs to blind the kree.

"Fire in the hole!!!"

She made the explosions painfully loud and blindingly bright, but tried to avoid giving them too much punch...lest she blow up her own ship.

by **Bobby Bowen** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:26 pm

Bobby laid down bursts of counter fire.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:29 pm

Daniel ripped one of the ship's seats out of the floor and flung it, as hard as he could, through the airlock.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:13 pm

Kevin used a his blades to deflect energy blasts as he rushed the nearest alien, striking at its weapon. All in all it was very Jedi looking.

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:17 pm

ASHLIE very carefully calculates vectors and trajectories to take aim before she fires a salvo at one of the Kree.

by **Narrator** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:41 pm

This was a far cry from the beaten and weary Shi'ar that the Kree had been expecting. The only ones they had a clear shot at were Daniel and Kevin, and both of them were rather unaffected due to their powers. The rest of their shots were disrupted as Melody's bombs sent them ducking back for cover. The X-Men's shots struck home, and most of the Kree were falling back before the heavy ship's chair slammed through their ranks. After that round of Kree-Bowling, the few still on their feet went scurrying back through their ship in a fighting retreat.

"Weapon fire from transport, identified: Accuser class modified freighter, ineffective. Theory: Vessel is unwilling to risk its blasts striking its companion vessel. Registering extra-vehicular occupants from Xandarian transport. Life support inoperative and atmosphere currently venting at a rate of 1.25447 percent per minute. Recommend assaulting pirate vessel at this time," Cal added in a monotone.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 4:29 pm

"Sounds like a plan." Rachel said.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 5:43 pm

"I've always wanted a pirate ship," Kevin smirked, moving ahead.

by **Narrator** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:10 pm

As the X-Men followed the Kree pirates into the ship, an explosion rocked both ships, as they had the unmistakeable impression of the Kree ship suffering repeated impacts. The lights flickered, a wall collapsing across an intersection as they pursued the pirates.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:19 pm

Kevin dove out of the way as the wall collapsed behind him, narrowly avoiding being crushed. He looked back as he got up.

"Okay guys, that was close."

He looked around the corridor.

"... aaand I'm alone."

by **Narrator** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:21 pm

The 'being alone' didn't seem to last for long. Ahead down the hall, Kevin heard a crash, and a challenging roar.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:25 pm

Eep.

"Only way is through..." he said as he took a defensive stance and moved forward.

by **Narrator** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:35 pm

As Kevin advanced, he'd see a horned, green-winged bulky figure emerging from the rubble. Apparently, this was one of the things impacting the pirate ship they were trying to comandeer.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:57 pm

God damn that's ugly.

"Would you believe I'm not with them?" he said, "Or speak English...."

by **Narrator** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 9:19 pm

The lizardlike creature roared, swinging a massive fist at Kevin as it lunged forward, freeing itself from the wreckage.

Meanwhile, the other group would find a hole suddenly punched through the hull, as another monstrous, three-armed alien slammed through their ranks, practically ramming Daniel through the opposite bulkhead.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 9:32 pm

Kevin dodged with a hop backwards.

"I'll take that as a no," he frowned, keeping his blades between them.

"Please don't make me maim you."

by **Narrator** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 9:37 pm

"Hrn! You pirates and your little swords!" She snarled, and with a stomp of her foot sent a shockwave to slam Kevin back down the hall.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 9:52 pm

Kevin attempted to backflip over the shockwave, but ended up tumbling all the same. However, he managed to salvage his awkward landing and roll into a crouch.

"X-Man, not pirate," he said as he rose. "And haven't you heard? Size doesn't matter."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:06 pm

"Ow..."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:19 pm

"What the fuck is that?" Rachel said as alien crashed in front of them.

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 1:33 am

Melody was knocked to the side in the attack, as she'd been standing pretty close to Daniel. She shook her head to clear it of stars and growled at the alien, tossing an egg-sized bomb as she scrambled up from the ground that she hoped would detonate on the alien's head, blinding and deafening it.

by **Narrator** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:34 am

((The narrator would like to take this moment to point out to the two of you that an Alien just plowed into your group))

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 1:26 pm

ASHLIE tries to grab a hold of the alien to yank it off of Daniel. And, if her new Shi'ar-tech servos can manage, slam it into the opposing wall in the process.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 2:38 pm

Daniel shoved himself from the wall, meaning to throw the alien back through the other bulkhead.

by **Narrator** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 2:52 pm

The alien was thrown off of Daniel much easier than either Ashlie or Daniel would expect. As soared across the chamber, he altered his trajectory, one of his three arms making a shooing motion. the air seemed to ripple as Melody's timebombs arced around the disruption, redirected into Daniel. He pointed another hand at Daniel, sending a beam of energy at the smoking Accolyte and keeping him pinned to the ground. His trajectory altered slightly, sending him soaring at Rachel, scooping her up with the two arms on his left side and throwing her at Ashlie.

Meanwhile...

"Ha! Big words, little man! Let's see you back them up!" the dragon-ish woman roared, closing on Kevin to throw him down the hall into the far wall.

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:08 pm

Melody made a flying leap to land on her own bomb instead of Daniel, since she wasn't sure she could stop it in time. It exploded with bright flash and loud bang as it hit her just before she fell to the ground at the end of her dive. The fall hurt a hell of a lot more than the blast from her own power.

"douchebag aliens..." she groaned.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:11 pm

ASHLIE does her best to try and catch Rachel. Not that that's much better than letting her hit her.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:17 pm

"How can I convince you I'm not a pirate?!"

Kevin attempted a twirling sidestep around the charging dragon-lady, delivering shallow slashes at her uniform as he did. He tried to leave an "X" actually, or maybe a "K." Hard to tell really. Could just be random lines.

by **Narrator** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:22 pm

Much as Kevin would have liked to disrobe a bulky dragon-woman, her uniform seemed to repel his sword. She spun in place, not nearly as fast as him, but evidently adept at over coming that, bringing up a fist so that it was right in his path to knock him upside the head. "Ha! Not as easy to bring me down as a little Shi'ar!" she laughed in a deep, rumbling voice.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:37 pm

Kevin's helmet took the brunt of the impact, but sent him reeling all the same.

"Hey no fair!" he said dizzily as he quickly recovered.

"You're here for the Shi'ar shuttle?" he asked, strafing around her.
