GESB: Operation Time-Cops

[Terenia]

Zorish throws his hands over his head instinctively as he hears Shredders shots, ducking to make himself a smaller target. The movement somewhat throws off his balance and he staggers, skips a step, and nearly falls. One hand clutches at the air, finding the branch of a nearby sapling. He pulls himself back to his feet, cursing his hosts lack of grace, and awkwardly barrels forward, knowing he has lost precious time.

[Alic]

((I didn't know if you were WANTING Zorish to end up being caught or not.. So I'm not sure if I should lose em or what))

[Terenia]

((Nah, he's gonna end up caught again. Feel free to go in for the capture at any time. ))

[Chad32]

(Ok)

Finally Claxter caught up with him. figuring he would be in all kinds of trouble for letting Zorish escape, he decided to vent a bit by aiming to knock Zorish out hard with his tail blade. He chanrged at the Yeerk, ignoring his own signs of getting tired.

(I know no one is actually watching Cody, but he's too mad to want to escape. He wants revenge, but he's unarmed and stupid.)

[Alic]

Alic was close enough to see Zorish stumble and took advantage of it. Using almost the remainder of her energy, she was able to catch up and was right behind him.
There seemed to be voices not too far off and she knew if she didn't take him down now she would lose her chance. Alic leaped over a log, and when she landed she swung her tail forward at lightning speed. At the last second she flipped her tail blade, flat end aiming at Zorish's back.

[Myitt]

Myitt watches the holoscreens anxiously, bouncing on her heels in one of her host's nervous habits.  It was hard to tell exactly who was catching up to whom.  

Something else catches her eye, and she pulls the tech scan back.  There are plenty of well disguised Bug fighters in the area, but three in particular are in the typical intercept formation.  

"No," she whispers, "too far away to tell for sure."  Something nags at her nonetheless, and she sends out another thought speech call.  

<Uh, guys, I really think we should get out of here,> she says, her eyes glued to those three red dots.  To herself she adds, "I have a very bad feeling about this..."

<Hah, this is the first time you've had a feeling that this was, I don't know...crazy?>  Tara laughs.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin closes his eyes for a moment and grits his human teeth.  Claxter had disobeyed a direct order, taking off after Zorish, now he was stuck in a fairly unfamiliar morph that wasn't designed for fighting, and he had to try and apprehend an actual human who might be armed all by himself.  He was beginning to see why Claxter's previous Prince had become...agitated.  He took a couple deep breaths and walked calmly over to where this human voluntary was crawling along the ground, apparently thinking he was forgotten.

"I hope you can walk, I'd prefer not to carry you."  He keeps his shredder level on the uninfested human.  "But if you try anything, I will not hesitate to use as much force as is necessary."

[Terenia]

A sudden blow to Zorish's back knocks the wind out of him. He staggers, stomach dropping as he realizes that he has been caught. Falling to his knees, Zorish coughs violently as he tries to refill his lungs, fingers clutching at the dirt and twigs on the ground. When he finally catches a breath it stings Tamora's lungs so fiercely that he falls to his side, clutching at his chest.

"Argh" he coughs, blinking through his tears to get a view of his attacker.

[Chad32]

(I forgot Oss had said something earlier. Can I just edit and say he stayed with Oss?)

[Terenia]

((It's yours and Ossie's call, Chad, but I think Claxter running off is pretty IC considering some of the other stuff he's done))

[Chad32]

(Yeah it probably would be IC, especially since he's trying to right his wrong, but I did forget Oss told him to do something else. I'm accidentally making him out to be incompetent, but then again maybe I should just go with it. The character is running itsself!)

[Alic]

Alic glared down at the human and pointed her shredder. She really did hate to use the thing, but it was her best bet right now. <That's right. You're done. Nice try though. Get up, we don't have time.> Myitt's request sounded urgent. If Alic had to knock the yeerk unconcious she would, and then morph human and carry him. She was small but strong for her size and would be able to do so for a short distance.
Kicking at the dirt, Alic aimed the shredder at his head. <Get up, and come with me.>

[Terenia]

Zorish tries to respond to the Andalites, but begins coughing again. After a moment or two more of hacking and wheezing he finally manages to utter a few coherent words.

"Like -" Cough. "-hell" Cough. He struggled to pull himself to his feet, but stumbled and fell again, "Damn this dapsen body!" he cries vehemently.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

((Eh, it already played out Chad.  Oss will be having a little...'heart-to-heart'...with Claxter though.))

Ossanlin gestures again with his shredder.  "Come on human, I don't have time to play games with you."

<<I'm stuck out here at the moment  Myitt, glad to hear you're okay.  This human is being uncooperative and I'm hardly able to deal with him while in morph.  I will return as soon as I'm able to get him moving.>> 

[Myitt]

Myitt glances at the heat signal readouts, but her eyes keep darting back to the local tech scans.  

"No, they want us to see them," she murmurs, watching as they zero in...southwestern United States...southern California...into the comm device she yells, <Guys, we have a situation here!  I don't care what that human has seen, get your asses over here, NOW!>  Reluctantly she looks back at the tech scans.  Oh yes, they were locked on to the impeccably hidden Andalite ship.  The only Andalite ship left in southern California.  <We've got Bugs incoming fast!  Move it!>
