The Alien Ship hung silently above the earth, as if waiting for something. Meanwhile, within...

Escape!

Get back to the ship and get out!

After the fight, Rose took the opportunity to start the engines. The thing of it was, she only started her flying lessons yesterday. She ran the preflight checklist in her head just as she saw Anakin do it and prayed she didn't do anything to set off a countdown to detonation or anything.

Tori made it onto the ship, hoping everyone was okay. She wondered how Lana was doing, knowing Conner would keep her safe.

She took a seat on the ship's floor, tired and sore. Her shoulder was still bothering her, but she didn't much care. She just wanted to get back to her room.

Shawn is still on the lookout for people who might be hurt, so when he saw Tori sat on the floor he went over and crouched down next to her.

"You okay?" he asked. A slightly stupid question given that they'd just been fighting aliens, but he asked it anyway.

Re: Escape!

Tori gave Shawn a small smile and shrugged, not a good thing to do when her shoulder's wounded. That sent a bit of pain through her shoulder. "I'm all right, except for my left shoulder. Got hit was an energy blast."

Re: Escape!

Shawn winced in sympathy. "Want me to sort that out for you?"

Re: Escape!

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Oi!" Rose calls after the boy, "Don't go hanging about, leg it up to the ship already!"

Shawn glanced back from his healing of Tori. (http://l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com/17624.html?thread=130520#t130520)

Once he'd healed her, he immediately headed over to Rose. "Sorry, just had to finish up there. We set to go?"

Lana made her way over right behind Shawn. "Tori," she said. "You okay?"

Re: Escape!

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Hey Lana." Tori managed a small smile. "I'm fine. How are you?"

Re: Escape!

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine, too," Lana said, though emotionally she really looked anything but. "Thanks to Shawn. He healed me." She let out a shaky breath. "I just want to get home."

Re: Escape!

Conner made it back to the ship and slumped down inside, after making sure that Lana, Tori, Shawn, and everyone else was accounted for.

"We've got everyone, right?" he asked as he sat down and started cleaning off his sword with . . . well, with his sock.

What? It already had holes in it anyway.

Re: Escape!

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori nodded, glad to see Conner was okay. "Yeah, we do."

She sighed in relief, and was happy that her shoulder had been healed by Shawn. "You okay?"

Re: Escape!

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"I think I'm going to take a three-hour shower," Conner replied, his face wrinkled in distaste. "This was kind of nastier than I thought it was going to be."

Then, realizing he didn't have that much reason to complain, comparatively speaking, he added, "I mean . . . they smelled gross. I got off a lot easier than some people."

With Diasuke poised and ready in front of her, Setsuna carefully assisted Ami out of the room, peering down the hallway before giving her a nod and moving forward. //"Don't worry,"// she said, continuing her soft reassurances. //"We'll get you out--"//

Setsuna started at the sound of engines, her heart leaping and looking around as if that would answer who had started them. Hopefully one of their own. //"It's okay, Ami; it's almost over..."//

Re: Escape!

[fh_extras]

Before they could reach the ship however, one of the Aliens stepped into view, and caught Ami around the throat with a tentacle.

Her body went stiff, her eyes blank, and she began to speak...

"You have not won." the alien spoke through her. "We will destroy your island. This ship is poised to strike."

Re: Escape!

[fh_extras]

After it spoke, it projected this into everyone's heads.

Re: Escape!

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

The images in her head overwhelmed her, Rose grabbed hold off the control panel and tried to breathe.

Re: Escape!

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell no. Hadn't these bastards put Ami thought enough?

Just as the alien had finished its projection, it had a katana slicing through the tentacle holding Ami, and then a nodachi slicing off its head, one action swiftly following the other and Setsuna glaring down at the body with her blades drawn to her sides as she stood over him. //"Your last premonition was wrong,"// she said, glancing over to Ami, gasping and sputtering as she recovered from both the possession and the fall from the tentacle. //"I highly doubt this will be correct, either."//

With a sneer, Setsuna realized that talking to a dead body wasn't helping anything, hurried over to Ami to aid her to her feet, and hurried along toward the ship. She tried not to shudder. She...sure hoped she was right.

Re: Escape!

Tori winced and grabbed her head, as she received the projection from the aliens. She tried to control her breathing, not wanting to freak out as she couldn't stop the images in her head.

Re: Escape!

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn slapped a palm hard against his forehead and screwed up his eyes, as if that would help keep the images at bay.

It didn't.

Liz was struggling to keep her emotions under control but she knew that it was a losing battle. She screamed as flames appeared without warning, she couldn't go through with this again. For several seconds she just stared at her hands, trying to subdue all too recent images that were flashing in her mind.

Re: Escape!

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy saw her hands. "Liz?"

Re: Escape!

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

"I can't stop it!" she screamed in panic.

Re: Escape!

Billy gaped briefly, then turned and dashed for the ship. "We've gotta get out of here now!"
