Behind the group a roar could be heard as the sound of metal clashing and screams of pain pierced the air. "You're not even worth your metal" a voice called as from the darkness a body was flung cleaved in two from the hip to the shoulder. From the darkness after the body a frightened Cordian military came running stepping just into the light given off by Vera and Jaycee's lights before a blade came flying and slammed into the man's head as his body fell limply to the ground atop the corpse from before.

"Are there any more that wish to bring a fight to this place" a females voice called as a clanking slowly started to grow louder and louder. Finally out of the darkness a woman dressed in armor appeared. She was covered in splotches of blood and in her left hand a shield was gripped tightly. Sauntering over to the corpse of the Cordian she bent down and yanked the blade from the man's head and gave it a swing clearing the blood off it's tip. "Bah, these creatures are not even putting up a decent fight" Leona said looking towards the company she was suddenly in. Looking at each of them she gave them each a sizing up her vision staying on Amaya and Maverick the longest of the group.

"You don't look like these any companions of this rif raf" she commented suddenly as she drew her blade close and sheathed it in the holster behind her shield. "Are you more of the one's trying to get off this hell hole?" the Tartan asked her height alone likely a dead give away to her race tho her fiery orange hair likely throwing off many at first glance.

The darkness came and flashed as fast as the action around her paced. The planet itself seemed like it was shaking, and the building quickly turned into ruin. Debris fell above her, and quickly she bended the air beneath her to push her away whilst grabbing her bag. She threw the bag's strap over her shoulder, and looked over to see the damage. Many of the patrons either were fleeing the scene, or amongst the ruins. Her eyes grimaced at the sight of more death. Yet, if battle taught her anything, you must not mourn once within.

Her eyes transferred to the group members she recalled. Two left the scene for a ship, and one returned. A newcomer came into the scene, and left with the Driorian. She began to leave the ruins of the bar avoiding the debris and bodies laying about. At this time, another seemed to join... a Tartan. Ah, wonderful. A few are trying to kill us. She thought, noting those that the Tartan killed out of self defense.

"Serves them right. Idiots." Jace said, he wasn't one to play favorites, and he wasn't one to ignore transgressions. What these people had done and were doing was wrong. Then more violence came their way with the arrival of a rather unusual Tartan with fiery hair. Possibly of mixed heritage. Jace thought as the woman spoke up. "Why yes we are. I take it you came here to secure transportation as well?" Jace asked calmly, there was no telling how stable this woman was, Tartans were the second thing in the galaxy Jace didn't wish to have an altercation with.  

[Shiningdragon21]

Looking towards Jace, Leona shifted herself somewhat as she tightened the straps on her shield to account for the added weight of her now sheathed blade. "Secure transportation?" Leona echoed turning her head somewhat. "Hmm, I suppose I could be doing that. Since these guys don't seem to put up much of a fight when you get them out of their ships" the Tartan commented giving what she thought to be a small kick to the corpse of the man she had skewered earlier. The kick was much harder then she had thought tho as the body was sent rolling across the dock a bit to her surprise.

Having to jump up to dodge the body that was sent towards his direction Jaycee landed on the other side as he dusted himself off. "Hmmmmm" he seemed to fume somewhat at the Tartan flinging a body his way. Tapping his wrist Jaycee looked behind the group towards the ship that had been acquired by Amaya. In a flash he had darted away and into the ship as systems inside were quickly being booted up by the sounds coming from inside.

"Engines nominal, hull integrity optimal, controls.....passable" Jaycee voice chimed from the cockpit of the ship as his fingers danced around the control console quickly as a map of the area was displayed on the forward view screen. "Not good" he muttered seeing the ping of ships in the open space above where they were currently at. "Radar's not strong enough" he muttered trying to bypass useless systems to get a view on which of the ships would be planning to fire on them so they could get away in time. "Time to go!" Jaycee yelled out to the people outside as he continued to tap away at the console, the pre flight checks and warmup finished.

(Is Jaycee bringing his ship along too? And we'll have two ships?)

Claudia tilted her head to the side, her hands spun out to send a wind wayward. The wind came out and flew past ahead the group before returning after a brief period like a boomerang. The wind carried the scents of what was ahead. Many more ships departing, and fighting. The gunpowder... blood.. very wide range. She sighed, trying to pinpoint where everything was based on the range of strength for each scent. Yet, it was clear that much of the destruction was everywhere.

"Regardless. We shouldn't stay much longer..." She surprisingly called out, not one to speak very loudly. Whatever was out there was coming closer, it wasn't going to be pretty. Her eyes went to the bar one last time, instantly capturing the scene. Then headed towards the ship with her bag.

(Not sure if this is a valid use of air bending or not... it just came to me *rubs head*)

"I'm not one to tell people what to do, but you should probably do that, hell I'd even ask you to come with us, provided the Driorian doesn't have any qualms." Jace stated, looking up to Jaycee's ship, seeking a yes or no answer to the question posed by the Tartan joining them. If not, he was sure the Neocinan wouldn't mind having another strong individual in her midst.

(Will post more when I get back from drill but, Jaycees shipping has left already. The ship he is in currently is the one Amaya claimed. His ship left earlier when they were heading towards the dock as it only could fit 3.)

((Sorry for not posting guys, I've got a lot of s**t going on at home will post soon))  

[Forever_Hikaru]

((Yeah...I've been tired a lot lately to the point where I couldn't think of much..Still can't really, but I thought I'd try throw out something. Sorry for the shortness. ))

Vera turned around to see the vicious massacre of some Cordians. The one who done it was a Tartan...but she looked like she had hair of her own race. It was definitely a strange sight for her. "One more for the ride, why not?" she said, hoping that the Tartan didn't try to kill them too. She hurried inside the ship when the Drionian called that it was time to go.

((Sorry, Had a bridal shower at the house this weekend I had to help with. Very tired.))

Once everyone showed up and the Priorian commented on Amaya's torture of the Cordian soldier, she looked up at the Priorian tiredly. "Try having your race's weakness exploited three times in one day and come back to me on how happy that makes you." She said. Once Jaycee said it was time to go, Amaya threw the Cordian soldier over the side of the ship to let him die a slow death from the poison in his body.

Ripping a piece of cloth from one of the other dead Cordians, Amaya tied it off around the wound in her leg before slowly walking over to Jaycee. "We've got to get moving, that sun is not looking good." Amaya noted, watching the burned out sun with her goggles over her eyes.  

[Shiningdragon21]

"To little time to talk" Jaycee called out as he slammed a few buttons the ship suddenly lurching backwards as it seemed to swallow the remainder of the group that hadn't gotten in yet before slamming shut. A suddenly acceleration was followed as the ship suddenly rocked from a explosion on the dock they were just at as it was decimated in just a moment. "Sun not only problem" Jaycee said as his fingers danced over the control panel as a vision of the area they were heading towards appeared infront of them. "Cordian ships have blockaded space. Will lose my ship but able to open a hole. Not for long tho."

Looking back at Amaya Jaycee reached down to his wrist as the two orbs from before popped out suddenly floating at a much slower pace then they had before. It was evident of how little of his focus was put on the orbs as he again turned back to look forwards. "Take longer. Stay still" Jaycee said tapping his wrist as a loud static emanated from him for a moment before it faded. "Boot up operations, flight pattern Theta 752, initiate shadow pattern plan Alpha 7" Jaycee said returning his focus back to controlling the ship. The two orbs from before were floating around Amaya much slower then before doing there best to heal the injured Neocinian tho her wounds were closing much slower then in the bar.

As they flew thru space Jaycee's ship that had gotten to a hidden area of space booted up and went thru it's start up procedures. The signal had been sent loud and it hadn't taken long for the Cordian's to pick up where the ship was hiding. Fortunately Dorian's ships were much more agile then the Cordian's and it was succeeding in dodging the fleets fire as it zipped thru space before taking a lead position a ways infront of the ship the group was currently flying thru. "Ride not going to be pleasant" Jaycee called as a hail of fire started to erupt from the view screen as he worked his best to dodge around the fires as the ship ahead attracted the brunt of it. Their ride was infract an uncomfortable one as gravitation stability of the inside of the ship had been forgoed to increase engine power so occupants were being tossed about.

"There" Jaycee yelled as the life support was suddenly cut for a few moments as an explosion of power pushed thru the engines as the lead ship was overtaken before darting off and starting to slam itself into any of the Cordian ships that tried to give chase before committing suicide into the lead ship that was giving chase effectively deterring the rest of the ships from giving chase. After a few moments when the air was starting to get heavy in the ship the life support was reinitialized as the power that had been rerouted to the engines was returned to the normal area. "Tired" Jaycee muttered slumping back in the captains chair as he closed his eyes. It had taken alot of concentration to keep systems continually fluctuating and shifting to keep the ship moving how it needed to as to keep it's occupants alive.  

[omgIisonfiyah]

Jace had little time to do anything else when he was suddenly scooped into the transport and then blasted into space with the others. Moments later the dock exploded in a firestorm which soon became trivial in light of the Cordian blockade. Damn it! The rumors really are true. Jace thought inwardly, keeping quiet as they attempted to breach, the Driorian using his own ship to cover their escape. When the life support came back on, Jace made sure to stand up, stretching his arms above his head to get his breathing back. Great, now what? He thought, groaning as he plopped to the deck, his fatigue catching up with him.  

[Shiningdragon21]

Being suddenly tossed into the back of a ship Leona barely was able to spout out a word edgewise as the hull doors shut and she was again thrown this time slamming hard against the rear docking doors. "Damnable Driorian" She called as a bit of the cargo was pushed against her to which she tossed off easily. Struggling to get up as the ship rocked from the explosion behind them Leona finally made it to her feet only to be again knocked off them as the stabilizing gravity was removed and a burst of engine boost threw her again to the ground. Her face said it all as she was finally able to return to her feet as she reached out grabbing a bar to gain her footing again as it was crushed by her grip. "Im going to crush him" Leona said aloud as she started looking around the cargo hold for the shield and sword that had been knocked off her arm after the shake up from earlier.  

[Maya Freana]

As Jaycee lurched the ship forward in a violent burst of energy, Amaya let a few curses fly from her mouth as she hit the wall of ship behind her. Between the gravity shutting off for a moment along with the life support shutting off was painful to say the least. The wound had at least closed from a through and through hole to just a large gouge in her leg. For the Neocinian, that was enough, though she cringed as she pushed herself up, holding her ribs.

"For ******** sake." Amaya muttered, slinging Jaycee's arm around her shoulder so she could lift him out of the seat and move him over to sit against the wall to rest.
At least he got us out of there. The Neocinian thought before going back over to the controls. She didn't know how to fly well, but Amaya had learned enough learning how to be a spy to fix a ship's control system.

"Kill the Drionian later, Tartan, he just saved all of our asses. I'm more worried about getting us out of this sector of the system, so either help me fix the ship's system, start flying this piece of s**t out of range of the sun that's about to go super nova and engulf what's left of Cardiff, or get the others over here and have them do one of the former." Amaya said before getting down on her knees and prying off the plate to the controls.

Once the plate was off she started messing with the wiring, plugging what she could where should could to give the ship more power and the life support system more of a leg to stand on. Jaycee had gotten them out of there, but he'd done some damage to the ship using his powers to do so.

"Getting us to the Beta 9 space port should be the first worry." She muttered.
