Besides, I thought Mithril and Sakki were workin' on that, anyway.

"Thought-speak projector"?  Yarin just did what Miss Martian does in the show "Young Justice". . . .

Oh, and I forgot about your triskaidekaphobia, Dino.  I chose thirteen because . . . because . . . okay, I'll level with you.  I don't know why I picked that number.

CHAPTER FIVE:
Breakout

<You get a slide?!> Sakki yelled, indignantly.  <He locked me up in a padded room!>

<Understandable,> Mithril teased.

<Don't make me hurt you,> Sakki threatened.

Oh, and I forgot about your triskaidekaphobia, Dino.

Hey, that's fine.  I can't really expect you to remember every detail about every RAFian, can I?  I was just sayin', you know, in case you needed my character to freak out over something, well, there you go.  ;)

Noted.

I'll try to post a chapter soon -- if not, I might just wait until tomorrow.  Gotta walk roughly 8.4 miles (round-trip), according to Google Maps.  Should take me more than three or four hours.  But the rain . . . *sigh*

EDIT:
CHAPTER SIX:
An Expected Twist

"Space?" Sakki said aghast.  "We're in space?"

"Well, what else would you call it?" Mithril asked.  Sakki punched his shoulder, to which he replied, "Ow."

<How long were we out?> Noelle said.  <We must have been out for some time, considering the enclosures he had ready for us.>

"Never mind how long were we knocked out," Phoenix said.  "What I want to know how that dingbat managed to captures us all so easily!"

Everyone seemed far too concern with the fact they were in deep space, far from Earth, to notice Dino's conspicuous silence.  They were so concerned with the situation they've found themselves in, they hadn't noticed her triskaidekaphobia.  It's something when you see an ankylotyrannus shake and shiver.

"Dino," Yarin said, having noticed her stress, "are you okay?"

The other twelve turned to her.

"Thirteen . . ." she muttered.

The other twelve blinked, and Mithril looked at Dino with a confused gaze.  Yarin slapped his forehead -- accidentally poking on his six eyes -- and said, "Of course -- sorry that I forgot, Dino.  Dino is triskaidekaphobic, guys."

"Um . . . what?" Hunter said.

"She's afraid of the number thirteen," Aquilai supplied.

"Well, there isn't much we can do about it now," Myitt said, "Sorry Dino, you're just gonna have tough it out . . ."

"We could split up," Phoenix offered.  "Hunter's missing his weapon.  Aquilai's been stripped his sonic screwdriver.  They could go look for that together.  Then the rest of us can go to the bridge of this ship, take control from this -- this "Collector" -- and turn it around.  Head toward Earth, and beam us down or whatever."

"Sounds like a plan to me," Parker said.

"Sounds like a death warrant to me," Demos said, grinning.

***

Hunter and Aquilai stalked through the opposite direction of the other group, searching for a secret room, a hidden alcove, where their items might be recovered.  It was tough, daunting, and arduous work.  And they repeatedly met with little success.

"Well, this is time-consuming," Aquilai said, an attempt at a blythe tone.

Hunter said nothing.  He wanted his gun back, and he wanted it back NOW!  Then he perked up when he thought he smelled a familiar scent -- his own scent.  It was faint, but he did as the toucan demands and followed his nose.

They manage to find the alcove that housed both Hunter's gun and Aquilai's sonic screwdriver.  But something about it, the placement of the items . . . out in the open, no security measures taken . . . it unnerved Aquilai.  Hunter was just too focused on his gun to care.

"Hunter," Aquilai cautioned, "I think we should be careful.  This could be a --"

Hunter reached out and grasped his gun, suddenly two tubes encapsulated the two from ceiling to floor.

"-- Trap," Aquilai finished, as the tubes started to fill with a greenish knockout gas.

***

Meanwhile, the others had managed to locate the bridge of the ship.  The door was, naturally, closed.  The deliberated on the quickest way through, and in the end, Parker just cut through using his energy sword in one fluid movement.

"That was actually easier than I thought it would be," Parker said, suspiciously.

"Too easy," Phoenix muttered in agreement.

They filed in, flanking Collector who looked unsurprised at their intrusion.

"You're outnumbered, Collector!" Sakki shouted.

"Hand over this ship to us," Myitt said, well aware her human body was unarmed.

"Or you might as well be hurt," Parker threatened.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Collector said, still irritatingly calm and infuriatingly condescending.  "Poor little beings.  Do you honestly think that you would have escaped your enclosures . . . if I had not allowed it?  I deliberately left that sword in the SPARTAN's possession to see if he was intelligent enough to USE it."

Collector snapped his fingers and, as a white-and-yellow energy bubble shielded him, green knockout gas leaked up from the floor and down from the ceiling.  One by one, the RAFians dropped, with Sakki being the last to fall.  Collector never even left his chair.

Well, I can tell you that I didn't base it off that . . . because I have no idea who those two are.  In my mindset, it was mostly based off Aggregor and the five Andromeda Galaxy aliens in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.

Thanks, Parker.  I was gonna post a new chapter . . . but this weather . . . you'd be surprised how much rain can take out of you -- especially when you have to WALK in pouring rain . . . ugh . . .

And if I get the job I just applied for, I may be posting chapters less frequently -- though I will continue to strive to post a minimum of one every day.

What? Crazy kid, rain rejuvenates! Especially walking in it! You just need the proper attire to appreciate it. Though I can understand walking 8 hours would suck no matter the weather. ;D

Not here -- no sidewalks.  Mud.  Crazy drivers (some which scream out their windows because apparently giving a walker a heart attack is funny ::)).

Anyway, I hadn't anything really to eat before I left.  I just had a bit of food, so now I'm reenergized.  And need to post that eight-hundredth (seriously, 800 parodies) in the "RAFize Songs" thread.

CHAPTER SEVEN:
Putting Two and Two Together

"Where could whoever did this taken them?" SuperNate asked.

They were still in the auditorium, and now the RAFians were postulating and guessing about what had taken place.

"I've already notified Estelore," Richard said, "and she'll keep an eye out.  But space is a vast place -- they could be anywhere."

This was a fairly large assumption on the RAFians part, but their instinct told them that they would be taken into space.  It seemed the logical choice.  Cloak mulled this over, but said nothing to anyone.

"There must be some connection," Terenia, the RAFteacher, said.

"They're all single species," Jess said, pondering.  "That is to say, each of the kidnapped's species is different.  No two were the same. . . ."

"I dunno . . ." said Underseen, "that makes it seem like . . . like . . . like whoever's doing this is . . . collecting them?"

Cloak's eyes widened.

"Underseen.  Say that again."

"Say what again, Cloak?"

"Say what you JUST said again."

"'That makes it seem like whoever's doing this is collecting them'?"

Cloak's face had grown ashen.

"Cloak -- something you want to clue us in on?" Richard said.

"Not yet, Richard." Cloak said, his tone was that of a it's-so-obvious-how-could-I-not-see-it quality.  "I have to be sure. . . ."

With that, Cloak swirled his cloak and was gone.

"Well, that was abrupt." Faerie commented in the way only Faerie could.

***

Cloak had entered the Nexus.  Collector had to still be in the Gate Prison.  He had to.  There was no way he could have . . .

Escaped.

He saw a rather dazed-looking, red dragon-form Realm Walker.  The guard to the Gate Prison.  This did not bode well.

"What happened here?" Cloak said.

"Wha?" the guard replied.

"What happened here?" Cloak said, patience thinning horribly.

"Dunno," the guard said.

Cloak gave up and stormed away.  This could only mean one thing -- Malice and Abomination somehow busted Collector out.  Cloak looked to his right at the large luminous building -- all buildings in the Nexus was luminous, as well as the earth, people and plants.  Cloak continued to glare at the Council building.

"Maybe they know something about it," Cloak said.
