This one took me longer to write because I was pre-occupied with things, but I tried my best while my mind was elsewhere. Tell me what ya think thus far.
Rog laughed and rubbed her paws together, feeling the tension about the room, but choosing to ignore it. Dalamar had actually called them the most powerful. Dalamar! The big kahuna. The one they said had no emotions at all, and who thought everyone weak and pathetic. HE had called THEM the most powerful. It was better than chewing catnip in the sun. She could work with Dak, if it got her more praise, because cats love praise.
Falcon went over and scratched her behind her ears. She purred in pleasure, rubbed her cheek against his shoulder. Though named after a bird, he was one of the best friends she could ever have.
"My sweet little kitty, I cannot even imagine the reward we'll get for destroying Glenn's troops." Falcon said.
Rog smiled, revealing her fangs. "Yeah. I can just see Dalamar flippin' out his check book."
"Check book?" DaKD inquired. "Isn't that ages old?"
Rog rolled her eyes. "It's not literal." She turned and smiled at Falcon, then, in one try, jumped onto his shoulders. She raised her arm in the air, and let out a cry. "Let's go fight!"
Falcon smiled and carried her out of the room of the ruined hotel that they called base, leaving DaKD alone. He couldn't understand why those two connected so well, especially since they had originally started out worst enemies. In fact, Dak and Falcon had been the friends, before Rog joined. She did something to change Falcon, and he became less...Falcon, and more Rog.
"DUCKY!" Rog called. "ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?"
DaKD shuddered. She was so annoying. What was going through his scaley mind when he decided to work with her? Nevermind. It was the flattery that Dalamar gave them. It had blinded him for a minute, so that he'd say yes to Dalamar, and once somebody said "yes" to Dal, you couldn say "no" without losing their necks. It was seduction.
"DUCKY!?!" Rog screamed.
Dak couldn't stand her voice anymore. "I am coming, dammit! I'll be down in two shakes of a cats tail!"
"VERY FUNNNYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!"
He couldn't fathom how loud her voice was to Falcon's ears; the ears that she was sitting beside. He kicked the bed again, and ran out the door, being careful not to close it on his tail.
Scooter walked behind Ryoko, to keep him separated from Baku and Bakabone, and he was pummeled with rocks. The two Ba's were getting on Scooter's nerves, and he felt very close to strangling them, but kept his cool. He learned not to lose it when dealing with people like them, no matter how hard it was.
Bob stopped, and checked his clip. "Guys, a city."
Ryoko and Scooter dashed to be by their captain's side, and to stare down at the sorry looking city. It wasn't more than five feet down, but due to lack of high towers, it was all visible, like if it were at the end of a mountain. Glenn was examining it, and shook his head sadly, while NeLo sniffed of the air. He turned around and snatched the cigarette from Vee, shooting her a dirty glance as he flicked it into the dirt.
"I can smell someone else around here, but I can't figure out where they are." NeLo said. Vee whispered something to Jessica, and she giggled. "No, the smoke is messing up my nose. I can also HEAR them."
They both rolled their eyes.
"That place looks crummy to me." Vee said. "Who'd wanna be in there?"
"Well, we do." Bob said. "We need to find out if this is Earth or not, and if there's somebody here, we can ask."
Glenn shook his head. "If this isn't Earth, they'd lie to us, and if it is, they'd be wondering what kind of cigar you're smoking. I think we should split up, and sneak around whoever it is. They might be hostile."
"They might be in need of our help." Ryoko commented.
Vee, always the optimist, said dryly, "They might be waiting for us. Like an ambush or something."
Bob shot them a silencing glare. "We get the picture, you can stop telling us what they might be..."
"Yeah, but, doesn't it make sense? I mean, Earth is magically a few hundred miles from where it once was, and there's somebody here hiding from us..."
"What makes you think they're hiding?"
"They would have heard the ship. When you and NeLo were talking when we first landed, I heard you from the ship because of the echo."
Ryoko grinned. "Yeah. The ship is very loud, and we know how this place echoes. I think we should count it as a possiblity."
"Fine. Maybe." Bob said, stubbornly. "But we're not splitting up; there's safety in numbers."
"What if they use a plasma nuke?" Glenn asked. "I've done some research on Dalamar and Gasaraki, and I've learned that they love doing things like that." Bob shook his head. "We need to split up! Though STRENGTH lies in numbers, we need to cover more ground."
"Which group will the medic go with?" NeLo asked.
"I know something of medical science, and my knowledge of poisons and remedies might be useful in this place." Ryoko said,
Glenn smiled. "Okay, Baku, Scooter, Domino, Vee, and me will cover the left side, while NeLo, Jessica, Bakabone, Bob, and Ryoko will cover the right."
Jessica looked down sadly. "I guess it is better to split up the pilots, in case both teams need them, but, doesn't Ryoko know piloting?"
"I know basic pilotting, but you're good at getting the big ships to go, and I'm not." Ryoko said.
Vee smiled and slipped a pack of cigarettes into Jessica's hands. "Relax, I won't die."
Jessica smiled and dropped them into her pocket. "Thanks. Well, don't you dare die. You promised me, and best friends never break promises!"
Glenn and Bob stared at each other for a moment, before NeLo broke the silence. "If we're going to do this, then let's not waste any time."
Glenn and Bob shook hands, and the two teams split up--Scooter watching Ryoko go with one of the two bullies, and feeling helpless. At least he had a chance to speak to Vee without Jessica.
BAHH! I couldn't come up with a better ending for this page
