PAGE ISH MINE!!

*Kicks Kaz's tail until he flees*
Page is mine.

Claw's fight, then Electrik's, then Acid's. Radium's is last Just to finish it off.

Claw was fighting through a haze of red. He barely saw anything; he sensed and reacted instantly.
This is getting a bit old. Can't I come up with something new?
With an effort he regained control of himself, shaking his head to clear his vision. A moment later he wished he hadn't.
He backpedalled as a large wolf, dark blue with silver eyes, materialized in front of him. He cursed fluently in several languages as the wolf advanced slowly. It was twice his size, armed with a whip made of blue and silver electricity. Claw could imagine Electrik's reaction if he saw that. He didn't want to imagine his own reaction if he made contact with that lash, though.
He noticed that the Kiyrenin had been decimated, with less than half of their original number remainin, and that they no longer crowded him. Obviously they had a healthy respect for the blue wolf. Maybe they'd transfer some of it to him when he killed his lupine enemy.
Unfortunately for his enemy, the whip was a powerful but erratic weapon, as well as slow. It was difficult to control, even for a skilled wielder.
Claw, on the other hand, had complete control over his weaponry - ten razor claws. While the wolf had the reach, whips were useless in close quarters, which was where claws worked best. Claw was also quicker, both in reaction and recovery time. He had a definite advantage.
All of this in a few seconds, as the blue wolf advanced. Claw sidestepped neatly as the whip flicked by, mentally cursing the fact that it was electricity. Had it been the usual type he would have let it wrap around his wrist, immobilizing it, and then attacked.
As it was, the lash left a scorch mark on the wall, reinforcing his decision not to touch it.
Once more the flickering blue and silver whip was drawn back in. Claw noted that the wolf wore gloves that, presumeably, protected him from the charge. That could become problematic later.
The wolf took a step forward, and three to the side. Claw's sharp eyes noted the blade in his boot, but he didn't react. Let the wolf think he had the advantage.
He may be right, too. Unfortunately.
He had to get rid of that whip. Without his primary weapon the wolf would be almost defenseless. For Claw, almost was enough. He backed of, drawing the wolf out and surrepititiously glancing around for Electrik. If anyone could disarm this creature, Electrik could. Claw wasn't even going to try.
As if he had read his mind, Acid's brother appeared out of the crowd behind him. Electrik's eyes lit up when he saw the whip.
"Kallein," he said, and the wolf turned. His silver eyes narrowed when he saw Electrik. "Kallein, you know better," Electrik chided as the whip flicked by. He caught it in his bare hand and held it tightly. Kallein growled and tugged, but he might as well have been trying to move a mountain. For all his slender stature, Electrik was immovable. Kallein flicked the lash back and forth sharply, trying to jerk it out of the blue rabbit's grasp, but Electrik simply wrapped the blue and silver electricity around his wrist and grinned.
Claw took his chance. Ducking under the tightly stretched lash, he came up, claws extended, and attacked. Kallein dropped his whip and made a grab for his bootknife. Claw swatted it out of his hand and slashed the wolf's throat coldbloodedly. Kallein threw back his head and howled his agony before vanishing as quickly as he had come.
Claw turned back to the few remaining Kiyrenin, and saw Electrik experimentally twitch the whip towards a nervous rabbit, who jumped out of the way and retreated. Electrik grinned.
"This could be handy," he commented to Claw gleefully.
"Uh oh, Electrik's found a new toy," Acid said dryly, coming up behind his brother. "Who did he get it from?"
"Kallein," Electrik said happily. "He wanted it back but Claw killed him."
"Kallein? Figures. Knew he was kicking round here somewhere. Oh, don't look now, bro, someone else wants to play too."
Electrik glanced over at where Acid was looking. A sleek, small, blue lizard with enormous yellow eyes was staring at him, making her way over. Electrik shook his had.
"I don't share with girls."
"Tell her that," Claw replied, and he and Acid left Electrik then to his own devices.

Didn't really want to kill Kallein, but it was necessary. Too bad. *sighs*

I claim this page again, to override any pitiful attempt Kaz might make at regaining it. So nya

*snarks the page*

Whee, electro-whip. That was my second choice for a weapon for my human character Falcon, after his wristwatch sabre.

In any case, I love your work. Plz continue.

x.x... my page...

I stood here camping all morning waiting x.x...

w00tness! I like!

Oh, and since no one has claimed the page...
*Claims page*

`N0

Nobody is STILL oblivious to our claims. Sorry N0, it's already mine. ;D

Coppertop snags yet another page.

whee, the electro-whip. Wish I had thought of that. Yes, Electrik does have a passion for electricity.

"I don't share with girls." Whee, that's a new quote! *adds it to his signature*

*chortles* I got 4I's second page on SoT as well, Def.

You did add it too, Acid ... *horrified*
Actually I'm honored in a weird sort of way. Kinda.

Snark. I let you have that page, CT.

Don't go bragging how you just got in at the right time. I had it first, y'know.

Anyway.

ABH#%T)IW0hjw

True, unfortunately.

Ooh, Electrik's turn. I'm shortening them quite a bit (sorry guys) but I think this is taking too long. There's more to this story than fighting, y'know!

Electrik eyed the lizard, who eyed him back. He shook his head.
"Whoa, I'm seeing blue everything. Blue Kallein, blue whip, blue lizard, I'm even blue - this is too much."
The lizard blinked, baggled. Electrik grinned at her.
"Too deep for you, huh? Figures. Forget it."
"Make ssensse, sstupid rabbit," she hissed. He snorted.
"I'm stupid? Who can't understand even a simple statement?"
"I - "
"That's right, you. Go away."
"Sshut up. I - "
"Make me," Electrik taunted. "You're too small, aren't you?"
"I?" The lizard, stung, drew herself up to her full, diminutive height. A pair of curved daggers appeared in her clawed hands.
"Violence is bad," Electrik disapproved. "Put those sharp things away before you hurt somebody."
"I will hurt you," she promised. Electrik snorted again.
"I'd like to see you try," he said. She faltered.
"Jusst give me the whip," she said.
Electrik shook his head, no. "Try to take it."
She was quick, very quick. She moved fluidly towards him, intent on removing the whip from his vincinity.
He sighed. This wouldn't be hard at all, hopefully. He wasn't quite as bloodthirsty as Acid, and eventually he tired of zapping people, even Kiyrenin.
However, this time he would make an exception.
The lizard brought her knife up. He flicked the whip on and snapped it at her; she automatically deflected it with her blade and regretted it immediately. Her eyes widened, and Electrik was sure that her metaphorical hair stood on end. She dropped the smoking blade.
"For that, you die," she promised angrily. He grinned cheerfully.
"Again? Why don't you come up with anything new?"
"Why bother when thiss one workss well enough now?" she countered. He conceded the point.
"Good point. But it's so worn out with overuse. Try again."
"I will draw and quarter you with thesse - thiss - dagger," she hissed. He nodded approvingly.
"That's better. Hey, you know the problem with daggers?"
She ducked under the whip and came up, dagger flashing. "What?"
"You have to get in close. You know what the problem is with close quarters?" He grabbed her thin wrist, pressing the tendon until the dagger fell from her nerveless fingers. She caught at his hand with her free hand, and he zapped her. She went rigid before sliding to the ground, unconscious.
"That's one of them," he agreed, and chucked the whip over his shoulder without turning it off. An agonized cry behind him proved that he'd gotten someone. "Sorry," he called back, hoping it wasn't one of his friends. He turned to find Copper and Acid.


So there you go. Next in line: Acid, Defalcon, and Radium.

WheefunZAP

yay. Yes, anyone who has to get in close quarters to fight Electrik is in serious trouble.

Ya know, I kind of agree. Each chapter nowadays seems to be some new fight. Violence is bad. PEACE!!! *searches for a hippie smiley, fails to find one, and decides to just forget it*

Yay! Good chappie.

Radium's will finish the fight thing.
No hippie smilies?!?


Acid noted that some of the Kiyrenin were taking aim at KRSplat and Crystal. Obviously a distraction was needed. He fired his rocket launcher at the sky without aiming. Every head turned. At the same time, a furious yelp rang out. Acid glanced up and winced.
"Sorry, Kaz," he called. A few crispy red feathers floated down.
"'S all right," Kaz's agonized voice replied. "A few months and my tail should be all grown back."
"Good. I really wasn't aiming for you!"
"You weren't aiming, period. That's the problem!"
Acid hoped that KRSplat and Crystal were taking the time to move and take up different positions. A flicker of blue said that he had guessed right.
"Y'all can go back to fighting now," he told them, and they obliged.
A flash of red and gold caught his eye. He turned just in time to see the owner of the red and gold fur fire two rockets in quick succession at him. He threw himself to the side, rolling to his feet with his own launcher ready as the rockets exploded against the far wall. The red-gold rabbit was crouched at the mouth of the alley, and ducked under cover when he saw Acid come to his feet and aim at him. Acid had one good look before he was gone.
His attacker was slender and long-legged, with red fur broken by distinctive golden markings down his arms and back. He didn't seem to have any other weapon than his launcher, which was a bonus in Acid's favor because Acid had a blaster. But he was quick and agile, with the lean muscular grace of an athlete. Acid wondered idly what his ability was.
My ability is to find cover. Fast.
However, there was no cover nearby. He shrugged and kept his sights trained on the site where the rocket-rabbit was hidden.
The red rabbit dove towards him in the next instant, firing three more rockets. Acid sidestepped and returned fire, causing the rabbit to roll out of the way and send another rocket at him. Acid growled, fired two more rockets and, pulling out his blaster, shot the rabbit. Just before his shot hit, the rabbit shimmered out of existance. Acid hoped he didn't have enough energy to return.

Defalcon found himself facing one of the dark warriors, who had come out of the tunnel directly above him. His twin swords were hard at work keeping his skin intact - he needed both of them against this one warrior's longsword and dagger.
He swept Nightfire down, knocking the dagger away, and Nightwind flashed up to intercept the longsword. He brought Nightwind around and activated it so that the blade glowed with blue flame, and it flicked past his opponent's guard and slashed his shoulder. But Defalcon could see that the wound was barely a scratch, and he was tiring fast.
Then a loud explosion and the screech of metal against metal cut across the sound of blade on blade, and the dark warrior - a squirrel, he noticed dimly - was distracted enough. Defalcon knocked his longsword out of his hand with Nightfire, and slew him with one thrust of Nightwind.
Then he turned to see what the commotion was about.


Yay, got two in at once.

w00tness! Acid and another rabbit play dodgeball with rockets!

`N0

Acid won.
Everybody come see where Rad creams the mouse! *evil laughter*

Radium came to his feet easily. He had had barely enough time to shield the attack that would have skewered him, and get out of the way. The resulting explosion warranted his approach to the problem.
He spotted his attacker. She was a mouse, with a tufted tail and large ears. She was dressed in red and white, which tipped him off to her identity.
"Syloph," he growled, and threw up a shield once more as another attack arrowed in. She wasn't really a problem - the worst she could do to him was injure him slightly - but he wanted to get this over with.
A splash of blue-green color on his hastily-erected shield blocked his veiw for a moment, but that didn't faze him. He poured energy into his shield, which shimmered a faint violet around the edges, drawing power from the chaos around him. Unfortunately there wasn't much water on Tubelectric, which was his preferred element. Irritatingly enough, Syloph's was air, and there was plenty of that. Fortunately it wasn't fire, or she could have done damage.
They were both in shape (if you wanted to live to BE a mage, you had to keep fit) so physical attacks wouldn't do much. He had the decided advantage though; there was enough chaos in Tubelectric to serve a platoon of Chaos Mages, let alone one.
Syloph sent a rain of gold and black arrows at him, but they shivered and vanished before they even reached his shield. He realized with a jolt that she didn't even know who he was, and was merely testing him to see his defenses. She followed up with a classic mage's trick, sending a wash of blinding energy at him and summoning a physical creature to attack while the magic disoriented him. At least, that was how it worked with ordinary mages.
Unfortunately for Syloph, he wasn't an ordinary mage.
It just so happened that she had summoned a Shadorian dyzkan, the living shadow. Radium laughed softly, an echo of Claw's previous laughter, and turned his red-glowing gaze on the creature. Unnoticed, his shield absorbed the magical attack.
The dyzkan shuddered to a halt, shivering all over like an animal. It hesitated, leaning first towards the Chaos Mage and then towards the Kiyrenin mage, confused and bewildered. Radium continued to force his will on the half-reluctant dyzkan, and it finally twitched and surged towards Syloph. Startled, she waved at it and attempted to send it back to its place of origin. However, Radium was now controlling the shadow, and her spell didn't work.
She lifted her pale gaze to his burning one, irritation plain. It was clear that she wasn't used to being bested in anything. Radium gave her a superior half-grin, before banishing the dyzkan to Shador once more. Her eyes widened at that; he hadn't used any flashy gestures or spell components. Her confusion only added to the chaos around him.
Good. He wanted to keep her off balance and startled when he got around to testing her own defenses. His were more than adequate; he spared no more than a passing thought for his shield and then turned his mind to the offense.
Shards of glassy splinters flew at Syloph, spinning through her shields with little more than a waver. She had not been expecting an attack, and had lowered her shield power; however, the shield did affect them, turning them into drops of superheated water. She fended them off with a slightly panicked gesture, and they fell to the ground, transforming to fortune cookies half way there. Radium grinned despite himself. Let her figure that one out! Indeed, the look she gave him this time was well and truly puzzled.
At a mental command from him, the moisture in the air condensed into a miniature stormcloud over her head, raining sizzling drops of water. As she was not expecting a physical attack, she was scalded once or twice before she threw up a shield to counter them. Radium shook his head sadly. I overestimated you, Syloph. Outsmarted on every turn!
This was good. He realized he was still holding his Chaos Lance, and grinned again. She obviously thought it was his power focus. He was going to put her off balance again. He banished it with a thought, and faced the mouse unarmed. Her eyes widened again as he began his ChaosSummoning. Hopefully she recognized THAT.
A swarm of flopping fish rained on her. Radium groaned inwardly. Figured. Just his luck.
But if possible, her eyes widened even more as she dodged marine life. Even though his ChaosSummoning was completely random, it was still enough to impress her. He laughed again and wove a visible cage around her with silvery-blue energy, one that would keep her powers inside it. She gasped as she realized what he had done to her. Her eyes were frantic as she chanted something.
Can't have that.
With a lazy wave of his hand, he banished the cage to - well, he didn't quite know where. A Chaos Mage could only keep track of so many things at one time, after all.
Then he turned to face the other Kiyrenin.

Chaos is fun! I Laughed out loud. Not just the little "lol", but a real, honest laugh. Fortune cookies... heheh...

`N0

It's raining fish! *pwackpwackpwackpwackpwackpwack*

Isn't chaos fun?

Trout, Salmon, Bass, Halibut or flounder? =)

Fear the halibut.

None of them. Arctic char.
Chaos is not only fun, it's useful. VERY useful.


Corbha froze in his tracks when Syloph started her attack. Oh, no, he thought, watching her struggle to win. The Chaos Mage was incredible, better than anyone he'd ever seen before. No wonder the master wanted him as a Kiyrenin. Once procured, he would be a tremendous asset.
He watched, shocked and gaping, as Syloph was outsmarted at every turn. He couldn't believe how good the Chaos Mage was. He worked silently, with no gestures and no focus. He easily took control of her fearsome shadow-creature, banished it without a thought, hammered through her shields with an ease that left Corbha breathless. Syloph was visibly tiring by the end of the short-lived match, but the Chaos Mage was still going strong, battering away anything she raised. Corbha had a dreadful feeling about the end of this.
When Syloph vanished, imprisoned in her cage of power, Corbha thought it was the end. The Chaos Mage turned to face them, his burning red eyes looking through them, stripping away any mental defenses. Corbha realized he was succumbing to the Mage's will, and tried to force his mind away. But that gaze captivated him, nailed him to the ground.
Finally, in a frantic effort, he tore his eyes away and vanished, leaving those he had come to fetch untouched.


Is only short because I'm working on a longer piece. One with Shinyso in it.

Oui oui!

Short but sweet. Nice job, CT.

The next chapter of E:JF will be up within the next hour...

Keep it up! My only complaint is it is to short. Keep working on the big peice.

`N0

sweet.

Yes, chaos is useful. Especially because even if you make a mistake and shower your opponent with marine life, it only adds to your power, because your power IS the chaos

Chaos is a vicious circle. Causing chaos causes chaos.

[/nonsense]

Wickednessness!

Yeah.
Chaos can't be cancelled out, chaos with chaos only makes bigger chaos. Chaos is more powerful than Order as well. Cool huh?

Here goes the big thing with Shinyso.

Shinyso watched, fury written all over his body, as the small hologram of General Syleran spoke. He couldn't believe the botch these Kiyrenin had made of a simple mission. Syleran himself was genuinely distressed, which didn't help matters any.
"My lords," he was saying, "I need new tactics, and fast. They're untouchable, but none of my Kiyrenin return with their powers intact, if they return at all."
"What of Corbha?" the master inquired. Shinyso couldn't understand how he could be so calm, in the face of such failure.
"Corbha is unusual," Syleran admitted. "He has incredible strength of will. This Chaos Mage disables any Kiyrenin he meets. The raven on Shador, Tremol, Syloph, a score of my more talented men, even Captain Tiger could not resist him. Now Corbha returns with the proof of his tale written all over his mind, and the rest of the survivors have had their powers removed, like poor Tremol. We can't find Syloph. Corbha's story is of incredible power reserves, awesomely strong will, and fearsome skill on the part of the Chaos Mage, not to mention the mind control."
"We knew that the Chaos Mage had mind control," Shinyso irritably reminded Syleran. The general nodded reluctantly.
"Yes, but we had no idea that he could mass-control. This is getting out of my hands. I can't counter them or their tactics - they're here, and then they're somewhere else, and then they're not and never were. They're impossible to track, and completely unpredictable." The last was aimed at Shinyso, who scowled.
"I only said that I could predict the two mercenaries, not the others. Obviously Coppertop has relinquished command to another."
"Then I suggest we leave them be for a short time, or forever. They're too dangerous, my lord."
"No!" Shinyso snapped, thoroughly aroused now. "We cannot! We cannot afford to ignore this definite threat, which is what she has become, thanks to you, Syleran, and your bumbling attempts to capture her. My lord," and he attempted to control himself, "my lord, you must understand that she will never let go now. Even if we completely forget her, one day we will find her carving up the ranks of the Kiyrenin like they were not there. The only way now to be rid of her is to kill or capture her."
"I know that," the master's faintly amused reply was. "You forget that I, too, once knew her, Shinyso. You are right. But you are wrong about Syleran. It is not his fault. Syleran, you have done well. It is only that you have never faced an opponent like this. I do not suggest that you withdraw the Kiyrenin, but I must advise that you cease actively searching for her. It is obvious that she played on our desire to capture her and her talented companions to lure your people into a trap, General. We must not give her another chance."
"Of course, my lord," Syleran said, clearly relieved. "I will give the order immediately."
"And I shall relay your concerns to the master," was the reply. "He shall continue to advise you, but you may make your own decisions now."
"The master's wisdom is unsurpassed," Syleran said fervently. "May he continue to have such great insight until the end of the age."
"And beyond," the master said, continuing the farewell that was used between Kiyrenin. "May he always guide you."
"And you," Syleran finished, and his image vanished. Shinyso shook his head.
"Why do you continue with this masquerade?" he inquired. One did not demand with the master.
"A subtle reason," the master said calmly. "Who can say what a Kiyrenin, loyal though he may be, will let slip? I do not wish to be identified by an enemy."
"Wise," Shinyso admitted. "Then why do you reveal yourself to me?"
"I may be the master, my friend, but I do not profess to be all-knowing. I am not a warrior. You are, and you see things through a warrior's eyes. You are the most skilled telepath I have ever seen, including myself. You can destroy minds, if need be."
"I'm not exactly the equal of Radium," Shinyso pointed out. The master sighed.
"Ah yes, the Chaos Mage. Who can say what powers he possesses?"
"You," Shinyso said.
"Well, maybe. From what Corbha said I gather he has an unidentified source of power. His preferred element appears to be either water or earth, I cannot tell which. He obviously has immense skill and a powerful will, and I know he can control minds, summon, teleport, and block a gift off forever. Who is to say what else he can do? Not I."
"We'll see. What else did you call me for? I assume it wasn't simply to hear that fool of a General.
"No. I want you to go with Commander Shasah, on the Vertigo, when she heads for Sardiff."
"You're sure," Shinyso said, surprised.
"Quite sure. When you return I want an evaluation on Shasah. I need another general, Cayden was slain in that ambush on Tubelectric."
"Of course."
"Pity Tiger didn't survive. He was much better than Shasah ... "

w00tness! We hear from the master! Keep it up! I wish I could write so convincing dialog!

`N0

Master? Where?

Wow, I just realized that I have 9 pages. Awesome.
Just cuz you replied first the next part has you in it. And I know that Rad was on, but how come HE didn't reply?

Actually, I haven't been on for about four hours. I just read the chapter a few minutes ago. Great chapter.

Great chapter. Radium is a powerhouse.

Too powerful, ;p, but that's often a foreshadow for something ^^.

CT... Chaos and order are two difference forces yes, but they're both on the same coin. So one has to equal to another, you can't have all chaos all the time >.>, there's has to be an equal amount of chaos to order. Order * Order = Chaos. Chaos * Chaos = Order in a sense.

Ehh, I don't think so. Chaos is a constant state. Order isn't. Therefore Chaos is stronger than Order.

Tiger was, at that moment, following N0 along the river. The odd creature was quite friendly, although strange. Tiger wasn't used to someone so unself-conscious, who didn't care what others thought about him. N0 was, however, not very talkative, which suited Tiger just fine.
When they stopped to take a break (Tiger's injury, while almost healed, did twinge at times) N0 turned to the striped rabbit.
"If you don't mind my asking, what the heck are you doing out here?"
"I told you there was an ambush."
"Uh huh."
"And I told you the survivors left."
"Right. But you're a survivor, and you're still here," N0 pointed out.
"I know. They left me for dead in the middle of the river. Guess they didn't want to get their feet wet."
"But they took the rest of the dead."
"Yeah. Infuriating, huh? But it's a good thing they did. I'm free now ... "
"Really," N0 said distantly. Tiger cursed mentally. He hadn't meant to say that.
"Yeah. Too bad for them."
"Indeed," N0 agreed, not prying any further. Then, "hey, got a way off this rock?"
"Maybe. If my homer still works."
"Homer?"
"For my ship," Tiger elaborated. "The Timelost."
"Sounds good. Got room for me?"
"Barely. I'll take you wherever you want to go, though."
"Awesome. Man, you're too good for those Kiyrenin."
"What?" Tiger said, startled. N0 grinned enigmatically.
"You didn't think I didn't know. Some mage guy told me before he disappeared."
"Interesting," Tiger mused, thinking Radium.
"Yeah. So I headed this way."
"Lucky me," the ex-Kiyrenin said dryly. N0 chortled gleefully.
"Yep. Lucky you. Hey, are we going to sit around all day, or are we going to get a move on? Cause I'd hate to be caught outside after dark."
"Uh, sure. Come on, we've got to find a glade."
"For your ship."
"Uh huh. It can't land in water."
"I knew that ... "

Tha's for Nobody cuz I promised.

I do. Order usually doesn't flux to will as it's a constant order, Chaos on the other hand will bend to anybody's will, but not exactly to their wantings. In a philosophical way, they're both forces in the universe, and the coin can't be 1 sqr inch on one side and 5 sqr feet on the other. They are even. A black tiger with white stripes is no more powerful or weak than a white tiger with black stripes.

blah blah blah... awaiting the next chapter ^^. Afterall, one can only wonder why you made Radium so powerful XD.

Chaos and order are roughly equal. While chaos is physically more powerful, order is more reliable. For example, an attack with order magic will generally result in some flying ball of energy. An attack with chaos could result in anything from a nuclear explosion to raining fish. In a battle of Order vs Chaos, the victor depends alone on the Chaos Mage's luck. Someone with knowledge of both chaos and order magic, provided they don't blow themselves up, is practically unstoppable.

Wait, does that mean I am ex-Kiyrenin? I know that Tiger is, but I seem to put up with Tiger well enough, even knowing that he is ex-Kiyrenin. ...That would be cool!

Rad: THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY.
Just clearing that up.

Nobody: If you want to. I didn't really say.

They reached an appropriate clearing by midday, which suited Tiger just fine. It would take some time for the Timelost to reach them anyway, situated as it was on Shilarloh.
About twenty minutes later, the Timelost arrived, sleek and mirror-reflective silver. With a whine of well-conditioned engines and a thump it settled on the Firenzev grass. Tiger had never been so happy to see anything in his life.
N0 was pretty impressed. Of course the Timelost was in good condition, Tiger wouldn't have it any other way, but this was better than good.
Small and intended to be a one-man fighter, N0 recognized the Timelost as a Prehnite VII, a type of starfighter that was uncommon in the galaxy. This was mostly because the Prehnites were so efficient at warfare that most eventually were destroyed. Tiger had not only kept his intact, but in pristine condition.
"Nice ship," he commented, and Tiger grinned.
"Yeah. You won't believe the trouble I go to to keep her mine."
"I'll bet. You've done a good job."
"Thanks. It's handy to have a good ship now and then."
"I'll say. This happens to be one of those times, huh?"
"Yeah. Where do you want to go? I got no particular destination in mind."
"Neither did I, so I don't really care."
"Well that's great. Where do we go? Can't stay here."
"Now that I agree with. Somewhere convenient, hopefully."
Inside, the Timelost was a bit cramped. N0 was lucky that Tiger was not a big rabbit, and that he himself didn't possess a huge frame. There was enough room however, and they would most likely make it if they didn't turn homocidal in the middle of the trip. That wasn't likely, however.
In the end, they decided to head for Sarida, which happened to be in the same system as Sardiff. Since N0 already knew that Tiger had been a Kiyrenin, Tiger saw no reason to keep much from him. The more people who knew about the Kiyrenin plans the better. When N0 heard that Shasah was headed for Sardiff, he agreed that somebody needed to keep an eye on the Kiyrenin. Just so long as it was Nobody.

Couldn't resist the jab Sorry.

Hey Rad, I did a science project on an element, and GUESS which element I got? 3 guesses.
BTW, how come you always get off just when I get on? You miss the story that way.

Hi, Eval.

Hi, CT

I just re-installed Windows 2000 and read all the new chappies. Awesome work!

I have to go now because I'm going to write a learning check of French words tomorrow... I hate these stupid word lists

And CT: This page shall be yours
