A scream, Krisna was the only alarmed one. Shelia was untrained and unused to this sort of thing as Scorch and Hope had seemed adapted to this sort of thing. She jumped. A metal plate clanking to the ground as her heart hammered in her chest.

What were those things? Her blue eyes widened in abject terror as she froze up as the pirate and agent sprang into immediate action.

Now that was what she was talking about, the sweet taste of Krissy's lips had been like honey. “Oh?” If Hope got a blade of light she could only imagine that Krissy had something better in mind, either it was something as sweet as her lover in some unexpected way or something entirely different but what? She gave the matter some thought as they suited up.

Going along they had an easy time of it though upon hearing something in the vents she knew that there was something here, something the agent didn't want to alarm them about perhaps but it would have been best if she had all the information. Scorch continued on wearily and thus when they were intruded upon she was not totally unawares.

Alerted by Krissy's scream she whirled and shot her plasma pistol. Hope dashed forward interrupting her next shot … “Shit! Grab the metal!” She began targeting the ones clear f Hope granting her some support as they retreated. While she would withdraw it was going to be a fighting withdrawal as she used the other crates here, provisions of the ship as cover as she went, trying to minimize her exposure but granting Hope some assistance as well. Perhaps they only had to clear the cargo hold and could lock the creatures in here … it might buy them a little time though if they were moving through the vents …

Shelia though made mo move to grab the metal at her feet, frozen with terror ...

“Get ready to lock the door!”

Xagi streamed forth pointing a tentacle at them as if it were a rifle, blasting green slime at them. Two, Shelia and Krisna at the time would have been easy targets but the Xagi drones focused on the pair that were actually fighting back first.

One remained elusive darting around containers and had been hard to hit and the other seemed experienced enough to dodge them, at least for the time being. Soon they would become harder to dodge as they added numbers to the mix and more of the floor got coated in green slime.

They hovered and floated forth so slime on the floor had not been a hindrance though it was still effective against them. The drones would only give the girls a little “taste” as to what to expect. There had not been an overwhelming number of them and the drones were unguided so to speak so they tended to be straight forward.

Suffice it to say they were vulnerable to heat. While lasers from blasters were only a little more effective against them where one would not notice much of a difference the plasma pistol caused the lead one to burst into flames on contact, virtually disintegrating it as if it were an electrical attack, something else they were vulnerable too though Hope moved into the way of the follow up shot, her blade taking out two others rather quickly, the rubbery bodies offering up no resistance against her new blade though after she dropped the second one she hand to evade a globe of slime coming at her, Scorches shots ensuring that it did not keep the pressure up as it wheeled on the pirate firing at her as another picked up the attack on Hope soaring up out of range of that blade rather than bobbing at shoulder level as most did … were they learning? Was this one more advanced than the others?

The last Xagi, trying to turn the corner of a container to come up behind Scorch saw the two others first and seemed to get distracted as it launched a stream of green slime in their direction ...

Krisna fell back on her butt as the creatures came flooding in. Frozen stiff as well yet unable to help but stare at the critters from her prone possion as they fought agiest her two warrior lovers so fiercly. It was like they acted of one mind dancing thrght the air it was amazing as Krisnacwas baffled by these creatures, she wanted to collect one... but slowly the travler snapped out of hertrance and blinked only to hear the sound of her lovers voice to run as Krisna nodded. "Ok!... " Krisna shouted befor quikly rolling over to all fours and hopping to her feet to quickly rush twords Shelia and grab at a small square of sheet metal, it being light enough to carrie with one of her hand as she grabed Shelia's sholder with the other and shook her lightly. "we have to go!" Krisna shouted at Shelia to get her attetion and run but failed to notice the creature flanking her from behind as a jet of green slime was sprayed forth spashing Krisna 's back covering her in the slimy goop. "AUHH!!" Krisna cried as the slime hit her as she was suprised and te force hard enough to push her forward into Shelia chest afther she dropped the sheet metal at their feet. "Auh! What is this stuff?" Krisna shouted sounding grossed out.

Damn it! This last Xagi seemed to possess some intelligence rather than just swarming forth. Initially she had believed that there were more of them but it seemed that there were only a smaller, more manageable number.

Screams and orders had been called out behind her yet the Nagi instilled a cl concentration on her, a focus. She was different in battle and realized that her best option was to destroy this last foe before turning to lend assistance. Still she acted quickly.

Dropping the sword behind a container so that it would not be covered in green goop she wrenched the rifle off her back and dashed towards cover.

Not the best shot she was good enough and the Xagi had no cover too so she sent half a dozen shots towards it banking on one connecting, hopefully she would have time t get to the others ...

Hope had one, she had one and one dipped out of sight. Scorch was firing at her's but the creature was dipping behind containers as it weaved closer so it proved to be difficult to target. Then a scream, she whirled as she heard Krissy though as she did she was grazed with a stream of green slime that caused her to loose her hold on the plasma pistol, it skittering forth out of her grasp as it slid forth. Fortunately the slime had nothing to anchor itself too so she had not been stuck anywhere just yet.

She was barely able to get up and dash behind cover as another stream of slime came in. Unfortunately her back pressed up against the container, the slime adhering her shoulder to the container.

“Shit!” She snarled and struggled.

The Xagi in the air had no cover and while it managed to weave out of the way of a few of Hope's first shots the more she put up the closer to the target she got until the last three hit it, the drones not too hardy it dropped from the sky but matters were growing worse.

Fortunately they were smaller in number though these were acting differently in a sense as if they were guided by an intelligence, albeit a minimal one. Either it was learned or it was direct, who could say.

Scorch was stuck in place, her Xagi boldly coming forth now that she could not shoot though it kept an eye out for the other combatant. The other drifted towards Krisna after spraying her back with more of the green slime. With Shelia beneath her Krisna was stuck to the floor with Shelia beneath her. It was time to replica, to replace those looses as Krisna felt a tentacle smack against the face plate of her helmet a few times trying to figure out how to access her lips, unaware that this was some sort of protective shell at least for the moment. Another tentacle attempted to access Shelia's lips as if it would have greater success but met with similar results Another tentacle reached out towards Shelia but got stuck in the green slime, the creature simply aimed the last tentacle at it and blasted the area with a blue slime which dissolved the green slime and allowed it to move again not thinking that this would free the girls as well as it the thing would spring into action once it had freed itself, though as luck would have it the tentacle that was stuck emitted the green slime and would take a second or two to get into position again as it was trying to trap both of them with a single blast again ...

Krisna fell into Shelia, both now chest to chest as the travler quick tried to scramble to her feet befor the Xagi creature sprayed a torrent of green slime over her back gluing her to Shelia find the was unable to move. Feeling the gross slimy sensation spread over her suit as she shreeked."Owhh! Groosss!" befor her cries of discust were only ended by a sudden sound of flesh hitting harden glass as Krisna was suprised by a tenticle slapping agiest her face plate asshe struggled veinly.

It was befor Krisna felt a diffrent sensaion was over her as the creature sprayed her down and its own tenticle with a blue bout of blue slime in an attempts to free its self from its own sticky grossness. Krisna took little time to exploit the creatures apparent troubles as it unstuck its self andwith thegreen slime disolved Krisna was able to roll over off of Shelia and onto her back as she reached for her omni tool unholstering it off her belt and took aim. Quickly pulling the tools trigger firing blindly at the Xagi that was attacking her and Shelia with the omnis tri lazer beams.

Two. Just two. She rushed to her sword as she tossed the strap of the rifle around her back again far more comfortable with the blade in her hands. She then rushed to the nearest of the Xagi seeing that each had been lower now.

Closest to her had been Scorch who had advance with her. She could make out the Xagi as it rounded the corner of one of the containers hoping to take care of it fast enough to get to the other.

Scorch was pinned there. Her weapon disarmed and the suit containing her own flames she could do nothing but squirm and struggle against the restrictive slime as the Xagi neared.

Just a little closer you bastard ... When the alien creature was close enough she would draw out a hidden knife using the blade to hurl at the creature.

Scorch waited, there was little more she could do as the creature hovered closer. The flash of a blade that tumbled end over end at the creature that used a tentacle to block it from striking the main body as a human might black their hands up in front of their face to protect it. The knife sank in to the tentacle a few inches though it was unimpeded it seemed.

It made it a little further before Hope rounded a corner and managed a quick slash down the back of the creature felling it.

The last Xagi seemed undaunted by the loss of it's companions possessed in only getting at the two women. Krisna rolled over, Shelia shrieked with the discharge so close as she nearly sat up and if she did she would have been the one being blasted instead of the Xagi that listed back. It fired a stream of green slime at the two and though it was an easy shot the blast threw off it's aim, green slime splattering over the ground though as it tried to correct itself Krisna blasted it and the last of the Xagi fell. They were now in the clear ...

Krisna omni toollazer ripped throught the monster with ease and them some as the beam of blue energy cut throught it like butter and metal the plating of the cargo holds far wall directly behind the Xagi she shot.

Seeing that the action was over Krisna relaxed, collapsing on the ground as she panted softly, the tent of her helmet slowly fogging befor she reach up to unclip her helm and remove it befor sitting up right and look around the room at her companions and smile. "Is every body ok?"Krisna would asked befor she carfully got to her feet and offered to help Shelia up and examine the bugg she killed befor gently nugging it with her foot. "What is it?" Krisna wondered befor she pulled out her omni tool to scan the creatures ultimatly cataloging it.

“It's a Xagi. An inter-dimensional creature, a mindless drone or I had believed but some of these expressed a mild intelligence. They usually come forth in mindless drones. These were the things coming through the bride I had closed ...” Hope mentions.

“They can self replicate through budding though I'm not sure how and they're really vulnerable to electricity though fire or heat seems t react against them just as well.” She recovers Scorch's plasma pistol giving it over to her then inspecting the slime that has attached Scorch to the wall.

“Two options here, well three … Kris mind lending a hand you're still covered in blue slime and can get rid of this … the blue slime counters the green slime. There's a g;and in each tentacle too that will let us use a small portion of the slime once too.”

Scorch was pinned to the wall until freed by her lover. “So do you think we got them all? We need to get that breech welded but might be wise taking a few glands in case f emergency. Even if their limited use having a get out of jail free card is handy to have. In that fight I became utterly useless at the end.”

She recovers her knife after wiping it off n the creature finding it covered in clear slime. “OK, we know what the green and blue slimes do, what are the others? One looks like a clear slime what's it do?”

Helped up, Shelia recovers the piece of metal but quietly stands off to the side analyzing matters as the one called Kris begins inspecting one of these disgusting things.

"Xag....Xagi?" Krisna repeated, testing the word as it almost rolled off her touge while she recorded this new data fiddling with her omni tool afther fliping up its digital display. Hopes descripion was perfect as the travler took note of every detail the agent made on these intreasting creatures as the omni recorded her lovers beutiful voice as a audio file and catalog under odd species befor Krisnas attention was take by Hope as she asked her to come over.

It was intreastig to say the least. Krisna coult not help bug giggle seeing her blond firery lover Destiny stuck, glued to the wall by the sticky green slime unable to move as Krisna looked down at her and holstered her omni tool. "Looks like your in a sticky situation!." Krisna giggled playfully befor flicking her eyes to Hope who pointed out that the blue slime she just so happen to be covered in disolves the green kind as Krisna quickly looked her self over afther noticing the blue goo covering her head to toe befor giving Hope a smile then to Destiny too. " ok I cant help..." Krisna nodded.

Agreeing to help Krisna smiled to her stuck lover and playfully looked at her with a sly look, tapping her chin carfully thinking of a fourth option.. "hmmm?..You sure? she can just lose the suit?"Krisna would joke befor approching Destiny slowly, kneeling down to her lovers level since she was pinned to the crate and carefly staddled the pirate's lap. Two hands on her lovers hips Krisna would slowly rubb her lover's body teasingly skimmy "areas" with the blue goo she collected into the palms of her hands disolving the stickyness while taking her sweet time taking advantage of Destiny's vulrable possion.

Afther shes done Krisna will stand up and offer Destiny her hand to her to her feet watching her lover do her thing, mentioning a clear slime as Krisna wondered too. "Clear?"

Hope smiled beneath the helmet of her suit glancing back to the entrapped Scorch. “Taking the suit off would be tough but manageable I guess though she wouldn't be able to weld that breach if that was the case.”

As far as slimes went she knew what three of the four did. “The clear one I haven't figured out yet though the gold is an aphrodisiac that only works when you ingest it though it does have a pleasant aroma and taste even. It doesn't work on me though other than a mild tingling.

“Luna thinks it was their slime I was born addicted too and such exposure to it made me build up an immunity,” she explained, covering the area with the rifle as she waits for Scorch to be removed.
