The lost legends of crystal city(open edited )

[serphina321]

a light formed suddenly as if out of no were.and collided with the aracnian ship.jarring it and nearly knocking it free of the armada .several com messages went out as several more lights flew at them there shields raising and they began firing there won disconnecting from the ship and sealing it .they had what they came for and began opening fire on the incoming craft.Consuela entered a small fighter with several others .as sleek black fighters came from the enemy ships ."all hands get ready war is here!!"Consuela snarled as the others deployed and she joined them on the battle field.she took her time taking out all craft that came there way ships exploding on all sides.she growled as she faced a lone fighter with blue markers it avoided all her attacks .she dodged and rolled to avoids its reaciving a laser to one of her main engines."damn it retreat we have what we want aboard ".."eye captain the battle bought us the time we need."came the reply and she smirked.

***********************************************************​

the lone fighter chased them as the rest of the ships and the main one the lion claw attached to the armada.the lone pilot watched as the enemy retreated.it had been to easy they faded from sight before the y could be pursued though and nothing could be done to stop them.the ship docked in the armadas hanger or what was left of it.a lone figure stepped out of the ship.several crew members were already spread out searching for survivors.the person wore a purple and black tight suit with a helmet .the figure was feminine the suit hugging her soft curves.she walked past several soldiers standing to ether side of the hall and slowly removed her helmet. waves of black curls falling around her shoulders and face.her purple eyes gleaming as she stepped up to a form laying on the ground its features hidden beneath a sheet.she hesitated a long moment looking at the surrounding soldiers none would meet her gaze as she bent over and pulled away the sheet her eyes grew cold and her face flinches"who did this" she whispers her voice cold and deadly she shook her head and covered the still form of Ardra once more,"leave me"she says and the others jump at her tone exiting the room they were no fools.she waited in a long silence until the others were gone her eyes tearing over.''why didn't you wait i was coming i was so close....why"her tone was pained as she looked down at the shrouded figure and wiped away her tears.goodbye my love"she whispers before pulling the helmate back on and securing it .she turns away.her voice filtered threw the helmet was emotionless. i want tapes i want all of it i want them fallowed they die tonight or we die fighting"she snarled and walked back down the hall a coldness gripping her.Buzt .....captain captain ..we have cornered something in the lower levels its believed to be hos....gahck"julia touched her helmet"crip ..crip report "nothign but static met her ears and she growled pulling out her gun"split up we have hostiles on board i want it alive"she snarled and moved threw the hall door leading to one of the telapads still intact.

***************************************************​

It was dark.............so very dark and hot.Zinn shivered her small form only a little over four feet.she was eagle spread something sticking to her hands and feet keeping her off the ground.as times it hurt when she would struggle but it wasn't that bad there was a line of material under her that would help hold her in place after the first few hours.all she could hear was her own breathing but she knew she wasn't alone her body was covered in sweat and every sound made her jump that's when the other made there presence known a hand lightly running over the others nude form causing her to shiver{what....what do you want}her mind asked shakily as the hand moved up to cup her face making her shiver."you know what i seek and you'll give it to me my sweet"came the strong robust voice but there was a feminine tone there.{please just let me go i dont know what your talking about please i heard what you did to the others i felt it }a sigh comes from the other"you will not endure the same torture as them my dear i cannot kill yo or harm you and so i will do what i must and i have seen what i will do''with this she whispered in the others ear her lips brushing it causing the other to freeze and fight against her restraints.the hand trailed down her body so softly and gentle as a pair of lips came down on her stomach and zinn whimpered."did you think i had not noticed that you have been untouched ."she whispers .

Lichen, was in the middle of an experiment when she got buzzed to the cockpit. She set her pad down and walked her almost asexual body towards the cockpit, following her usual route. The walls of all of her races ships were plants, but the external shell they had yet to find a way for their plants survive in the vacuum in space, but when they their ships would be 90% plant instead of the 60% it is now. She was working on the thing at this very moment. She passed members of both sexs on her way their the slight differences were more in their manner in which they carried themselves. The female officers, walked with more of a stride in their step, they more or less walked around like they owned the place, which tended to be true, the race operated with women in power most of the time. She made her way to the bridge and ignored the salute from her crew waving them for the status report, they responded, unlike the Sentients they communicated threw vocal rather then telepathy, they never developed that skill. "Mam," The first mate spoke, he was male, and one of the few people in this world she trusted with her life, "We have sightings from the stealth fighters that an arachnid ship took a vesicle with diplomats over. What should we do?" Though she thought he knew the answer in the tone he said it in; she responded in the manner in which was appropriate. "Hail, those pieces of fertilizer, I want a chat with their captain" she said as the first mate who barked orders about.

 

[Dust]

As i am being shoved into cell with no door. i fall down scratching my arm and part of my leg. i look behind me too see the arachnians spinning a web for a door. {Wow! they sure can spin a web fast,}In the cell with me are 2 people that i didn't really know. One was a female raccoon with a bleeding leg and cut eyebrow. The other was a male grey Feline with a black mussel and under belly. he had bark grey paws, and is bleeding on the right arm. "hello and what would your names be." the feline answered "my name is Fexk. i was in the free roamers squad. The raccoon answered "my names is Naoma, and i was in the same squad as him.""well mind if i join you in your huddle its looks quite warm." I walk over and huddle in a corner with them.

 

[serphina321]

Julia was pinned down as another body went flying past her.they hadn't even seen there enemy yet .she moved around the corner careful as a knife barley missed her head.{a knife....were dealing with outdated weapons and its taking out my troops}she thought with disgust .as she managed to round the corner undetected the assailant was standing at the end of the hall and several shards of light pulsed right at Julia.she ducted back around the corner only catching a glimpse of the enemy it had been a woman who was tall she had barely any cloths on."damn it send in reinforcements iv managed to pin down an amazon"she called into her com set.a few moments later a transmission was relayed to her "my lady we have an incoming hail.Julia grumbled setting her gun"alright send them to me if i die in transmission you take over.''she says as she runs into the open charging the woman in front of her catching her off guard she took a few shots in the gut and her shoulder collided withe the amazon her gun pressing into the woman's body.she stiffened and yelped her body shaking as as sparks came from the tip of the gun and she woman slumped to the floor out cold .julia stood gasping for air for a few moments before putting her pain aside and resetting her gun "private send a pickup team she was screaming something i want it translated"withe that she activated her com and lichens picture came on screen in her helmate"can i help you.''she said calmly.

*****************************************************​

a young woman came to the prisoners cell placing several food trays in the entrance.she seemed to ignore them and walked away after bringing the food.

 

[doomgamer]

Lichen was surprised when the hail was responded to by a Lein, "Uh...your not an arachnid....then the-" One of her crewed flagged her down and she looked at him and said. "What!?!" "Um..Mam you need to hear this...The arachnids have left the system leaving the ransacked ship left for dead..." This could be heard on the receiving end of the hail, because their Lichen didn't mute the call. She turned back to the call and cleared her throat, and then started again. "Ok....I would like to offer my crews help...as well as support in getting your crew back...That and I....well..." You could tell she wasn't used to these kind of situations, and she was new to her position of captain. She was shifting positions in her chair, "Ok we are on our way to provide assistance." She left the hail open to response, as the bridge crew started to giggle and chuckle, her first mate was already holding onto his chair and laughing.

 

[Dust]

I get up and go over to the 3 trays on the floor infront of the webbing. "what is this gunk." as i pick all three trays up in disgust. it looks like shit and chewed grass. i hear Naoma moan behind me, and walk back with all threes trays. "here you go Naoma, and here you go Fexk." i sit down and swipe my finger into the brown stuff. "i think it is shit." .I toke a quick lick and it tasted like regurgitated meat and some cheese. "well if this is what we are going to be fed might as well get us to it." i take a swipe at the green stuff and it was some broccoli with peas mashed together. "well i didn't like my green vegies but i have to now if i am going to survive." i look over at Fexk and Naoma and most of their food is gone already. "did yall like it." they responded with a nice calm voice. "well the brown stuff wasnt that bad and the green goo was worse. but i lost most of my taste buds doing a stupid stunt when i was 14. "what about you Naoma." "i hated them both but i had to eat it to survive." i finish my food about the time the guards come to pick up the trays. i lay them near the webbing for the guards to pick them up.

 

[serphina321]

Julia growled "your damn right im not an arachnian when i get my hands ton those murderous bastards''she snarled clinching her fists.she snorted"i don't need you or your crew this isn't a place for children or laughter for games.'she snarled"what are you laughing at you worthless mutineers don't you morn for the dead.''she beat a fist against the wall an animal like growl escaping her lips she grunted her eyes glazing over with pain that had suddenly hit her.she took a deep breath her eyes looking down at a knife sticking out from her stomach and she muttered to herself"thsi is gonna hurt"she says coughing up a little blood she reaches down and bites her lip taking a few shallow breaths and yanks the knife free turning pale she opens a second link not caring if the other saw it."second ....medical assistance fast .."she said between clinched teeth the bio signals on her suit getting sent to the other as the captain collapsed close the body of the amazon.

*************************************************************​

zinn was led down the hall a robe rapped around her shaking form she looked like a child no older than twelve small breasts barely viable threw the robe as she was gently pushed into a waiting cell along side Dusts and the others a small barrier separating them but leaving them able to see each other.zinn had red markings around her neck were a chain had been and she curled up on herself whimpering tears flowing down her face she didn't look at the others .

 

[doomgamer]

Lichen, was cut from the call, the woman's voice had a anger to it, and that worried her. She said "Guys, shut those damn mouths, and listen. We are going over there, now! And then we are going to help whether she wants it or not." The bridge crew cheered, what she lacked in experience she more than made up for in charisma. Her crew adored her, she was funny, but serious at other times. Her crew respected her decision and made the adjustments and headed the way of the ship. She wasn't going to live this down for the next couple of days in space, oh well the price of being not serious all the time with her crew. She worked on her figures, they probably took prisoners, that means the captain may be gone and this a stand in. Oh well they needed her help whether she admitted it or not. "Gouch, get a med and rescue team ready, ill head it." She said heading for the med room, as her first mate aka Gouch =, started to bark orders again, a happy tone in hos voice from the actions of her crew and himself.

 

[Dust]

As a small figure was lightly pushed into the cell next to them. dust got up and asked her name "well hello the...." but stopped in the middle of the sentence and noticed the tears running down her face. "Why are you crying little one. you dont even look like your older that 13. you shouldn't have even been on the ship." As dust looks back at Fexk and Naoma Fexk has a tear running down his cheek and Naoma is laying down on his shoulder asleep. "whats wrong Fexk." "she looks really sad and Im guessing she must have been abused or tortured, like some of the others on the ship." "she is hurt mentally and or physically. just look at her she is crying." dust just sits there in the corner and waits for a response.....

 

[serphina321]

julia was panting heavily her com had lost power and gone dead her vitals hadn't looked so good"damn "she grunted pressing a hand to her stomach in an attempt to stifle the bleeding.she dragged the helmet off as it made a loud hiss but she ignored it tossing it away.every thing was off and hazy she could here muffled voices in the background as they tried to pry the door open good luck she thought knowing they had been blasted shut debris blocking them.she3 looked up as a movement caught her eyes the amazon grunted and was starting to get up supporting herself on her hands.Julia gripped her weapon doing her best to act dead not as hard as it looked.she watched as the woman stood as if in a drunken her body shaking her movement off.she hugged the wall for support her eyes coming to rest on julia and she screamed in rage julia having to roll to avoid her fists witch collided in the wall."spirack nuloa silo zinn"she snarled incoherently babbling to julia.julia wouldn't last to much longer her breathing shaky a sheen of sweat coating her body a drizzle of blood leaving large crimson drops on the floor.she yelped diving to the ground as a piece of debris was flung at her she shot at the other missing he eyes becoming blurry. she passed out as the other loomed over her.


zinn curled up more into herself not looking at them .she didn't even look up as a tray of fruit was set in the cell for her.{my name is zinn}she thought the tone coming out emotionless{i was an ambassador to speak at the peace core i was on the armada i .....am ..a traitor.}she cut her connection and turned away facing the corner.she touched her throat were the chain had hung a coldness filling her.

 

[Dust]

Dust looked down as she had responded in that emotionless tone. he had nothing to say and just sat there with alot on his mind. {she is a traitor but looks like a kid, but she is also an ambassador one of the people i was to protect. but if she was a traitor y is she still in a cell like Fexk, Naoma, me, and others. she should be have a good time she should be with the captain of this ship sipping whine and eating steak. not treated like one of us. unless she isnt a traitor but is lying and deceiving us.} "If you are a traitor then why are you in a cell. why aren't u sipping whine and eating steak with the captain or your officer." "if you are a traitor why are you crying. HUH! you chould not be crying you should be happy and laughing, about how you was a traitor to us." "SHUT UP FEXK thats a bit mean even if she is a trator she is just a kid. I have one question. did you do it for a reward or did you not do it on purpose. like i did many years ago." Dust sits back down and looks up at her and waits for her to respond. if she does.....

Lichen's ship dock beside the wounded ship, waiting for orders from Lichen, who borrows a mini com, and hails for permission to board, which was granted. They boarded and started on the wounded as one of Julia's crew came to get her attention to come to the sealed door, where the captain was. She followed at a trot bringing some of her people with her. She she gets there she sees that the door is barricaded, she turns towards her crew who motioned the others back and then placed some inflatable devices in crevices, then activated them. The devices inflated and moved the rubble easy and fast. This took maybe 2 or three minutes to get the bigger pieces out of the way. Once they could get to the door, they set some low grade explosives to blow the door off and back away and around a corner and blew the door. Lichen was watching with interest,, she had never been on a rescue team before, and this was a great learning experience.

 

[serphina321]

the woman stood over julia prepared to strike she could barely stand herself .she bent down turning the other onto her back it took a good view of her face to make the other gasp it wasn't one of the spiders as she had thought julias eyes stayed closed and she was breathing shallowly.the other stood quickly at the sound of the doors being opened and looked at the other dropping her knife ran as the doors blew limping into an open room.juilia lay her mind slipping into a deeper state of coma as her body went into shock her wound having ripped some bleeds more heavily.after a moment the woman returns pressing a cloth into the wound an putting pressure on it looking back to the door her body tense.

*********************************************​

zinn stiffened tiny sniffles coming from her.{you dont know anything }she didn't say any more looking up as a woman stepped into her room.the woman moved close to zinn who was backing into the corner whimpering a her body shaking."come on now the queen asks your presence in her chambers''she says taking the girl into her arms as she fought and let out animal like screams as she was pulled form the room.

**************************************************​

Consuela sat in her chair a coldness griping at her stomach as she held a necklace in her hand it spun a teardrop shaped piece of glass on the end a tiny seed in the center,it was silent but she knew better than what it acted liek it had glowed when the girl had refused to show the key it had surrendered itself to protect her.that much she knew .she sighed and stood they were in hyper space and it always upset her.she walked out into the hall moving for her room.

 

[doomgamer]

Once the door was blown in, they rushed in guns up and ready, Lichen included, they saw the woman trying to help, the fallen person she had saw earlier. She rushed to her side and looked at the amazon, and motioned her back as she prepped her hypo, with some pain drugs and an antibiotic. She injected it into the side of her neck, and then applied a gauze pad to the wound in her side. The Amazon moved back some as Lichen continued to work. Lichen then motioned to the helpers she had brought, they picked her up and took her to their med bay, while asking a crew member for directions. Lichen stood up and looked the amazon in the eye, and talked "What, happened here. I need to know to treat her properly." she said calmly asumeing the amazon caused some of the injuries.

 

[serphina321]

the amazon looked saddened and went on to babel in another language before pointing to her throat were a small black dot was it seemed off and she grunted.pulling out a bloody knife she had collected she handed it to lichen and looked away .Julia made a small sound her breathing heavy her tongue lulled out past her canines.several soldiers surrounded the doorway there guns trained on lichen as a young red headed female stepped in carrying a black bag"excuse me miss but this doesn't concern you .''she says calmly pushing lichen aside and looking down at the captain she pulled out a small device witch ran scans over Julia."not good..........hmm...internal bleeding several bruised organs and a few punctures plus a broken rib.."she grumbled to herself in annoyance."shell be out for a good few weeks report to the second''she sighs rubbing the brig of her nose"not to mention the phyicological trauma associated with the loss."with that she looked at lichen her blue eyes wandering over the other,she held out her hand"im sorry for the rude intervention im jewel her caretaker''she says shaking hands with lichen.

**************************************************​

Consuela entered her room a coolness greeting her the room had been adjusted a roof emitting artificial sunlight and misters providing moisture.it took her several minutes to spot her guest who was huddled in a corner thorns having sprouted all over her body.Consuela sighed moving in close to her prize the girl was dressed in fine silken cloths as requested Consuela came to stand in front of her her eyes catching zinns"now now no need for that you are in no danger''she purred her hand cupping the crying girls face so gently.she smiled watching zinn shiver as her mind waded over the girls calming her she was still so young Consuela thought sadly.

**************************************************​

a tall woman walked down the hall her white hair cut short smiler to a males leather covering her body her slim form seeming almost breakable in its porcelain like features.her kin was a pale white red symbols flowing down one of her arm's and over her back.the leather criss crossing to cup her breasts the others showing her back.she stopped outside the prisoners cell two soldiers flanking her.they opened the door and barged in grabbing the female inside and carrying her down the hall one on each end as nuku laughed.

 

[Dust]

Watches as they take Naoma down the hallway. "hey where are you taking her." says dust as he grabs the webbing and watches as the helpless sleeping girl is dragged down the hallway. "ANSWER ME." Naoma stirs in the guards hand's. Fexk gets up and goes to the webbed door next to dust and sits. "they should be coming with the food soon. they wont kill the females they will torture till they give up information. Come on back away from the door, otherwise the guards will tazer you back." He finishes as Fexk backs up to the corner of the cell and waits for the food to be brought. "Well that will be my chance to escape." "kid you have guts but if you get hit with one you will be out cold for 2 to 3 hours." "i dont care it is the only chance we get. with the tazer i can probally knock the guard out and fry the webbing to escape." dust finishes and walks into the corner of the cell and waits for the food to come.

 

[doomgamer]

Shakes her hand, "I am Lichen, and the amazon needs a translator, bad" She says pointing over her shoulder, "Mam, if you don't mind may I help the patient, our races medical system is the most widely used in the galaxy. Also I feel slightly responsible...any ways your crew needs some help, like it or not. The damn spiders..." The word was said with distaste, then she looked away as she breathed deeply, then continued to talk. "Anyways, I'm going to check on my crew..." She says walking out the door before, one of the males pipes up. "Mam, your experiment is um.....how should i say rampaging on the ship...." He says hoping not to die for being the messenger. "Crud! I'll be back..." She is half way out the door.

 

[serphina321]

jewel sighed looking at Julia one more time her small frame seeming taunt and stressed.we except your help"she says knowing there suplies are to few to be of much help at this moment.her head hanging she looks up as a table is brought in ."my lady we were ordered to bring her in as the rest of the crew is being taken to the morgue ."she nods looking away and pulling out a small chart.she uncovers the captain taking in a breath and nearly throwing up she quickly covers the woman."contact her people and prepare t4eh body to be sent to her family.''she says blue eyes dark and deep as she moves away from the body.and rubbing the bridge of her nose her thin fur was standing on end with her upset state of mind her red hair hanging down in her face .

*****************************************​

nuku entered the cell were they were held .her eyes cold and unfeeling .''alright you ''points to dust ''your coming with me"she says with a smirk as several guards flood in grasping dust by the arms and drag him into the hall closing the cell off behind them.

 

[doomgamer]

After, dealing with the experiment, they didn't lose anyone, but she lost her experiment plus notes. She went to the other ship and started to direct her troops, in the relief effort. They were carrying food stuffs over and some of plants from their ship to help with oxygen supply, as she went to go find med bay, when she got their jewel was working on Julia. "Hello Jewel, how is the patient?" She asks still in her lab coat/uniform, her green skin a little paler form the stress of the rescue effort. She had personally help three people escape from the grasp of the Herald of the afterlife.

 

[Dust]

{its either now or never} Dust stands up. "i can walk by myself very much." dust starts to walk behind the female and between the two guards. dust break free of the grasp of the guard and starts to take off in the opposite direction. {well im dead if they find or catch me} dust turns a sharp corner and heads down a hallway {if i can get to a spot the cant see me i will be safe.} Dust Sees another empty hall and dashes down it seeing a space he can squeeze into and cant bee seen. He quickly squeezes into the hole with his wings hidden from site.

 

[serphina321]

jewel sighs and wipes some sweat from her forehead"iv done what i can but well have to load her on our ship and we have so many in med bay ill have a busy night."she says tiredly her small claws scraping blood off her cloths before, she walks over to the covered corpse.she lifted it away only a moment pulling something of the woman's cloths.she covers her again bowing her head as she slips a pin into her pocket to give to julia when she wakes.she sighs and calmly returns to julia pulling a cover over her body witch was shaking."wee need help i can t keep up.she whimpers collapsing into a chair tears streaming down her small face as she held it in her hands.

***************************************************​

nuku laughs historically as dust escapes and calmly walks after him.the lights she passes up blinking out behind her. her footsteps can be heard threw out the halls.

 

[doomgamer]

As she watched her do all this, she was curious as to what she did over at the dead body when she lifted the sheets but said nothing until she was addressed and then she saw her shake and crumple. Lichen runs over to the crying crumpled mess called jewel, and places her arms around her, "Its ok, i can help. who needs what and i will personally help..." She has sisters, and this is what they did to her to calm her down when she entered this state so she figured, that this will help. She was hugging around her neck, as guard walked in the room they saw this and turned around, like they were completely oblivious to the situation.

 

[serphina321]

jewels body stiffened she shivered .forcing her away "at away from me"she hisses tears streaming down her face .it was taking all she had to not break down agains as she felt the warm embrace not wanting to break away but the crew needed her .she forced her away getting to her feet her fur on end.she looked back as one of the main armors came in "my lady ..we have found another survivor and i have been sent to see who we shall be taking orders from.jewel spoke up"me "she said simply walking out eh door "you will show me the survivor and the aliens will tens to the wounded"she says stepping out into the hall and looking up as a large tank was rolled into view as a suited figure walked out into the open it wore a suit with a slim suit its body slim with the proper curves the helmet had a metal frame with a glass front toe reveal the face witch was beautiful and feminine.she bowed respectfully and saluted speaking in odd tones they came out mechanical from the suit"seniter aurora reporting"it said.

 

[Dust]

Hears foot steps echo around his ears ringing with each and every step. {where is she, it sounds like she is down the hall but she cant be. i ran like down 8 different halls no way in hell could she be down the hall after that short of time. DAMN IT! i got to get to the armory get weapons and armor and then get Fexk and Naoma and get off this ship.} Steps out of his hiding place and sees a big spider passing down the hallway to his left. {ok i got to get to a map of some kind and find the weapon stash and armor room} Walks across the hall as the steps echo louder in dust"s ear. {DAM BITCH she is getting closer.} Dashes down the hall and looks both way seeing nothing to the left or right. {good, Hey look just my luck a map} walks to the map and sees the armory and weapon depot {Nice, Lets see here if i am here} Dust hears some guards talking down the left hall {DAM!} Dashes in between some pipes to hide and waits as the guards pass him unnoticed {good they didn't notice me} The echo of the foot steps get louder {found it, It's down the hall to the right and to the left then down 2 more halls. MMMM the weapon stash is on the left and the armor is on the right. Bingo} As dust dashes down the hall to the left of him the gaurds turn the corner looking the other direction. {dam i am getting luck today.} Dust starts to weave in and out of the holes in the pipes trying his hardest not to get spotted.

 

[doomgamer]

Lichen, felt the need to comfort the young one, but currently she was the highest ranking officer, and it would be unfitting for her and Jewel to look intimate in-front of either of their crews. Though her crew knew she tried to comfort anyone regardless of age, species, or gender, if anyone new to her crew was to see this, she may get reported and kicked out of her position of power on the ship. She had her interest peaked when she heard a mechanical voice pop up. She walked outside the door, and looked at the....well it looked like a fish but it had some humanoid features, two legs, so it was obviously bipedal, but there were fins on the back of the back of the legs to allow faster swimming than bipedals. The body of this one was definitely female, the toes and fingers both webbed, and the gills on her body were not as distinct as the-never mind, her purple hair was an oddity, she also had a fin on her back, probably to help control the water when moving though it. She did not want to speak unless spoken to for now she wished to see to creature/person more. Her race had never met any like this, and so she was in an observation state.
