Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Breekan1]

Breekan accepts the towel before things go even further to hell. Seeing the explosions being wrought he smoothly walks over to Shal, scoops her up, and attempts to place her safely underneath the bar. As he does, the towel falls away from his face, revealing an empty crater with red light spilling out of it. He turns his head in the direction of Mike the bobcat, and frowns.

The ship loomed just above the trees. Temrash raced through the flames, and smoke, to practically run up a tree. The heat would have been painful to Jagill, but Temrash clenched his pain receptors and took the brunt of the pain. He leaped onto the back of the ship from the tree, and made his way to the engines.

Inside, the hunter had a machine mend his wounds and inject blood into his veins. He watched the computer screen, and gave verbal orders. "I can't find him on the ground anymore. Where is that slippery worm?"

Temrash managed to slide to the engines, and fired his beams at the thrusters. Without them, the ship wouldn't be going anywhere fast.

"Gafrash! He's on the ship!" The hunter yelled, and gave a command to turn hit high speed. The action caused the engines to malfunction, and blow a fuse. In a rage, the hunter put on a protective back plate, and opened the hatch. He climbed out onto the ship with a beam resistant shield, and a sword-like weapon. "How dare you!? Don't you get it? You'll die here without your precious Kandrona radiation! Why do you still fight!?"

"Because I'm insane." Temrash said.

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shalner looks up at Breekan, and stands back up. She presses her face into his forehead in an attempt to stare into the hole. She attempts to push finger in, yanking at the edges, as if she's trying to make it bigger.

[Shenmue654]

The area around Mar and Ossanlin ripples a bit. Mar glances around nervously. "Something must be going on out there. Our connection still seems stable but we'd better hurry up and get out of here before whatever it is gets to a fever pitch."

Mar then turns just before reaching the light and smiles. This is rather disturbing as it shows his previously somewhat invisible serious teeth, but Ossanlin has probably seen Hork-Bajir smile before. "I'm glad that you are considering me a connection, actually. And no, of course I don't have a hold on your soul. I'm going to attempt to get us out right now."

Mar then wanders into the light and focuses, attempting to get Ossanlin back into conscious reality. My presence here and my actions may be more significant than I realize. I shall have to see if the situation produces further opportunities or hindrances.

Mike didn't see the light first, but he could smell Breekan coming closer and turned his furry head to him. He jumped to Ossanlin's back and stabled himself there, paws on either side of the andalite's spine. At first he looked up at the andalite, curious to see if he was still out of it. But he saw a red light shining towards him and looked towards Breekan with a pit forming in his stomach. He had known something was wrong with him before, and now he could feel as if the shadow were looking at him. He shook a bit in fear and hesitated before speaking softly, <What's wrong with you?> He sounded curious more than anything, but apprehension could be heard in his voice.

[Chad32]

"I'll throw you into the fire, and tear your new comrades apart for what they did to me." The hunter said as he and Temrash circled. Smoke billowed up around them, which obscured their vision and made it difficult to breathe.

"You're tough, but not invincible."

"Ship! Tilt right!"

The ship tilted down, which put the hunter on the higher level, and made Temrash lose his footing. The hull was too slippery for him to get up, and all he could do was raise his blades against the sword. It sliced through one blade, and almost sliced through the other, as Temrash was pushed off. He aimed for the Hunter's face and fired shots as he fell, but they were blocked by the shield. He hit a half burned tree, and managed to get out of the fire.

<Too much...pain. The burns, and the collision with that tree.> Temrash said, as he loosened his grip on the pain receptors. Jagill's body stumbled as the Hork-Bajir began feeling the brunt of the first degree burns over his entire body. He couldn't reach the safety of the trees for the fire, and he hesitated to run back towards the bar. All the hunter's ship could to was hover around, and move slowly, but it would still be fast enough to catch him on the ground. If only he could separate the Hunater from his ship, he might stand a chance.

[Alic]

Alic's eyes went wide with shock at the sight of Breekan's forehead. <What the..> She wrinkled her nose and shuddered, <God, you look.. > Like he had a big hole in his head, really, but Alic was pretty sure he was aware of that and let it go. Things in here just keep getting stranger.

Her attention was pulle back to Mike when he jumped onto her unconscious friend. This Mike was a horrible listener. <Hey, Mike. Staying out of the way is NOT on an easy target's back. Move behind the bar, or something, before I knock you off myself.>
She was pretty sure that when Ossy woke up, he may be a little shocked to have a cat on him.

[Breekan1]

Breekan pulls his head back and puts a hand over his eye. Red light dribbles down Shal's arm like a liquid before evaporating away. He approaches the bobcat. "He got you too, didn't he, kid?"

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal shakes her head, and walks around the bar to Ossanlin. She folds her legs, and sits next to him. She touches the red light dripping down her arm, then wipes it off on Ossy's fur. She presses a hand against his face, staring at him silently.

[Myitt]

"He's still up there," says Corliss distantly, squinting up at the bounty hunter on top of the slowly cruising ship.  "I don't like him being up there."

"Yeah, well, neither do I," Myitt gripes, looking back at the others again.  "How's Ozzy?  Jesus, Breek, is that blood or light?"

<Ew.  No, no, I can't look.  Stop making me look.>

Myitt's gaze flickers relucantly to the bar counter.  "I'm not supposed to look at you, so just tell me quickly if you're going to live.  Corliss?"

"Trying," Corliss murmurs, aiming up at the ship.  Maybe just the right shot would knock the hunter off balance, even if it did nothing else.  He uses his host Michael's weird tunnel vision sort of mental state when it comes to focusing and takes a shot, even though the ship is quite far away. 

[applix]

Mike looked towards Breekan, but he couldn't stare at the furry male for long. His mind went to the woods and Crayak standing over him. His cat-body shuddered and he could barely hear Alic yelling at him. But he could feel Breekan looking at him, his eyes drilling into the bobcat's fur. He leapt towards the counter and then down to a stool next to Jess, still looking at him only a few feet away. <Stop looking at me like that!> He said to him, sounding scared.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

*Ossanlin feels a wrenching sensation as the light around him fades.*

*In the bar, Ossanlin's eyes flicker and finally open.  His eyes widen as his ears take in the sounds of battle and carnage.  He's wet...how did that happen?  Then he noticed Shal sitting in front of him, and quickly became aware that both Shal and Mar had hands on his face, gently, but it was still discomfitting.  Shal looked like she'd been through the wringer.*

<Wha..Where...ohhh.. .my head...>  *He squeezes his eyes shut against the light before opening them again.*  <Myitt, Myitt!  Tara, is Myitt with you?  And Shal, are you alright.  And Alic...>  *he smiled at seeing the other andalite.  Then he noticed the small cat perched on him...some sort of Earth creature...* <What in the homeworld is going on?  Why is there a feline...Who blasted a hole in the wall?  What...what....?!>  *Ossanlin is unable to formulate anymore words as the confusion and pandemonium in the bar increase.  He tries to take it all in and sees the hole that is Breek's face.*  <Breek, what...what happened to you, and your sister?>  *He looks at Shal again and notices the red tint soaking into his fur where she had obviously placed another hand.*  <And where's Myitt?  Alic, what's going on?>  *Ossanlin forgets to use Alic's full name in his utter confusion and bewilderment, before he looks out the gaping hole in the bar wall to see a hork-bajir and another alien doing battle on top of some sort of ship.  He thought he might recognize the other alien...but he can't place his mind on the word for their species...he swore he should know it.*

*If Ossanlin had had a mouth, it would've been hanging open, as it is his wide-open stare entails all of his confusion.  The ringing in his ears lessens but he can hear the sounds of battle issuing from outside.*


*    *    *

Seran:

*the hork-bajir controller comes to at the sounds of battle.  He can hear a pitched fight occurring.  He tests his host's arms and legs...he could hobble away again...this might be the best chance to get back to his ship and use the med-chamber.  Oh he wouldn't leave, not without his prize, but he was in no fighting condition at the moment.*

*Seran crawls to his knees and uses a broom handle braced against the floor to push his host up off the floor.  He leans heavily on the wall for a moment before ticking the door open a crack.  Good, no one was in the hall and everyone must be out front watching the battle, or taking part in it.  he hobbles and limps down the hall to the back exit and makes his way out, limping several yards to the woods.  He begins to circle back around to his fighter which is parked away from the rest of the ships.  That had been a good decision after all it seemed.  He smiles a bit to himself as he limps over branches and roots, ignoring the whiplashes of limbs against his host's scales.  Soon, very soon, Myitt would get what was coming to her.  And Ossanlin too...that annoying a** of an andalite would die a long, painful death, he would make sure of that.  But maybe he'd use the andalite's body up a bit first...no sense wasting such a precious resource.*

[Myitt]

"Ozzy!  Man, it's me.  It's Myitt, it worked," she says, hurrying over to him, beaming.  "Are you alright?  Let's never, ever do that again, okay?"

She glances back at Corliss, making sure he hasn't gotten any return fire yet, Dracon ready.  "We're having quite a lot of fun, if you haven't noticed.  Just relax, don't hurt yourself, you've been through a lot.  Heh, I guess we all have."

[Chad32]

(Thinking about the word brakeep more. One who tends bras. Let him tend your bra.)

Temrash noticed a Hork-Bajir controller stumbling out.

<I'll follow him. It would be better than running into the bar.> Temrash thought to himself. He picked up speed, and reached the other controller. Hopefully he wasn't an Empire Loyalist. He used a dracon beam to slice off his remaining wrist blade where it was barely holding on, so that it wouldn't break off in the worst possible way.

"Hey!" He said as he caught up with him. "Help me out, here. That hunter is about to vaporize us all. That ship is yours, right?"

[Alic]

Alic had been watching the hole in the wall and the bar entrance waiting for an attack of some sort that she didn't notice Ossanlin had woken up until he spoke her name.
<Oss!> She turned. Face him and kept a stalk eye on both entrances now. <Its been crazy. We're glad you're okay..> Then at his confusion, she smiled with her main eyes. <Everyone is a little messed up some way or another, but we will survive.. > She didn't notice the hork bajir limping down the hallway.
