Space Pirates and Space Cops

Ace quickly scrammbled up Xiao's head, nearly stepping on her eye, to get on the back of her neck. He plopped down right on the back of her neck. He nearly got spikes in places where no spikes should ever go, but he didn't really care cause...

"I'M RIDING A DRAGONNNNNNNNNNNNN, MA IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW! FUCK YEAAAAAAA, LETS GO DRAGONS!!!!! LET'S GO LETS GO LETS GOOOOOO"

Ace was more then a little excited that he was finally getting to ride a dragon into battle. Those old stories his mom had told him now made even more sense! Fuck yea, good guys riding dragons equals hero no matter what else happens. He turned and looked over his shoulder at Rai, giving him a slightly puzzled frown after the man got on.

"Sparkles you are never keeping score. Bad guys cheat"

Not the whole frying your skin deal, no just the score. Life was simple for Ace most of the time.

He turned back to the ship, nearly bouncing around in his seat (bad idea cause of spikes), rather excited. He clapped his hands together, a wide grin on his face as flames gathered around his hands. He put one hand in front of him while drawing the other back as if to punch something.

"FIRE"

Ace punched forward at the hanger bay doors of the cruiser. The compressed flames he had been tossing down on the ship exploded out in a gigantic..

"FIST!"

The fire took the shape of Ace's fist, leaving a column of flames behind it as it arced up. Ace had put a lot into this punch, having been conserving his energy earlier in the fight. This was his full fledged power focused and honed to a gigantic fist of fire. Not exactly subtle, but he usually never was.

Xiao was protected by Raikou’s barrier and Ace was using a powerful heat attack to weaken the carrier’s bay doors. With such support, Xiao unceremoniously smashed headfirst through the weakened doors, skidding to a halt inside the bay. A large number of damaged Interceptors were stacked all over the place, as tall, slender Space Marines in body fitting armor and armed with alien guns rushed to the bay to repel the boarders.

Most of them took aim at Dragon Xiao, a giant angry dragon having a tendency to draw a lot of attention. Needless to say their pretty beam weapons weren’t doing much to her, as Xiao was now officially venting her anger on the Interceptors and the Space Elves, her wing buffets sending them flying, while her claws, tail and jaws crushed the robotic Interceptors by the pile. A few transformed into walkers, but were simply headbutted aside.

With the entire bay now distracted by Xiao, it was only a matter of heading through the main service corridors to either the bridge, or the engine. The two energy users went fairly unnoticed.

Before departing, Alex brought his hands together in front of him, before quickly rubbing them together. Sparks began to fly from his palms as friction heated up his hands. Instead of heat, however, he was creating a large electrical charge in his hands, causing them to be coated in a bright blue energy like substance. In the blink of an eye, the amorphous energy changed physical shape, become sharp bolts of lightning, crackling and sparking here and there. The lightning became so concentrated that it began to chirp, creating a large whistling noise. Smiling largely, he punched into the metal of the wall, reaching out and grabbing any wires he could find. He already knew he could manipulate the power of these alien space crafts, now was the time to see just how much control he had over them. Sending a surge through the wires, and manipulating their direction and current with his power, he sent the energy towards the lights the opposite way that he and Ace would be heading, knocking out the lights around where Xiao was fighting. Although he doubted the girl would need it, it couldn't hurt to give her an even further advantage. Pulling his hand out, he began to run towards the opposite direction of the men, hoping to 'feel out' any large power source he could, which would reasonably mean he was heading towards the engine.

"Pyro." He called out to his companion as he began to move. "When we get to the engine, you blast the door open with your fire, and I'll burn out the engine with my electricity. If we do this right, we can end up using the ship against the aliens more than likely. Got it?"

Ace slide off of the dragons back and immediatly jumped into a flying kick on a nearby alien. He latched onto the guys neck and swung around, using his momentum to bring the alien down. With two quick fire coated punches, Ace knocked the guy out. He stood over the bloody bastard with a grin on his face and looked up at Rai. He pointed a finger at him

"Okay, blow stuff up got it. Dibs on the ship though."

Ace crouched over the unconscious alien and poked him in the face.

"You hear me? This is now my ship, my rules. I called dibs"

Ace grinned even wider and clapped his hands together once more. Fire flaired out over him.

"Alright, lets go mate"

Ace hurried on after sparkles. This would be a interesting little fight to see. Aliens didn't know what the hell was about to hit them. Neither did Ace, but he was the one doing the hitting so it didn't really matter.

The Alien Carrier’s circuitry reacted violently to Raikou’s attack, as the light strips on the ceiling exploded. Now, the room was only lit up by their blaster rifles, and filled with the roar of a rampaging dragon. These space elves seemed brave though, and hardly screamed in terror at all. Xiao herself was really more messing things up than killing anyone, though any space elf foolish enough to get close was sent flying into the walls. She had too, as the numerous Robotic Interceptors were beginning to transform into their walker forms.

Raikou’s energy senses would allow him to discern two large energy sources, one for each of the blast doors on the opposite sides of the carrier's Labyrinthine Interceptor Bay, half a mile apart. Since the trio smashed roughly in the middle of the ship, the doors were a quarter of a mile away in either direction. Elf Marines hunker down at both doors, ready to defend to the last.

Down below, the lobster scientist and hamster engineer looked on in worry at the battle above and below them. Judge Severus showed no fatigue, no weariness even as he battles two master ice mages. He strikes through yet another ice wall, sending Long Fang reeling. Kitiara covers her father-figure with a shield, hoping the earthlings would finish in time.

"So...two doors eh? I always hated guessing games as a kid."

Alex stood in front of the two energy sources with his pyro 'friend' tapping his toes, his arms crossed across his chest in annoyance. He knew if he didn't do something quick, the flamboyent wonder would run in head first and probably get both of them killed. Right now they needed a plan, and it seemd like Raikou was the only one capable of coming up with one at this moment. Sighing, he quickly ran through options in his head, quickly mulling over what very few of those they had, before deciding on what to do.

"That Fire Fist attack of yours you seem quite fond of, so let's give you another chance to use it, eh? I'm gonna blow down the doors, you blast whatever is behind both of them with your full might. Don't let me down here Pyro."

Giving Ace a few moments to prepare himself, Alex punched out at both doors with his full power, which should have easily been more than enough to knock down the doors and send them flying inward, hopefully helping ace damage whatever was inside. As Ace is launching his attack, Alex will gather energy in his palm as he slams it to the ground, sending out a devastating shockwave to help kill and/or maim whatever the flamers attacks did not get.

Ace paused and looked at Rai for a second before shaking his head no

"I can't keep using this energy up. Those attacks are suppose to be my final moves and I've used it wffectivly twice with that last attack alone. I need to pace my self more otherwise ill burn out. I'm not a walking battery right you, only so much gas in the tank... That being said"

Ace lifted his hands up as flames gathered around his hands once more

"This time it's precision control not raw fire power."

Jeisen snapped his fingers as soon as those blast doors would come down, sending off small, but dense, spears of fire. These were all molten hot bullet shots the size of your average javelin. He would aim for the weak spots of knees and other joints to help cripple the aliens but not kill.

Life was life and ace wouldn't kill if he could help it. Even if they were weird alien people. Besides he needed someone to show him how to fly the ship.

Once everything and everything in the bay had been beaten to a pulp by Xiao and her two companions, the large dragon looked at the comparatively tiny doors and growled. She’d probably be wasting her time trying to rip the ship apart personally, and decided to leave it to these two energy beings. She roared and gestured crudely, unable to speak as a dragon, trying to communicate nonetheless. She then left them on the ship to deal with it, going back down to aid the two imperilled ice users.

Once the door had been torn open by the energy blasts, it seemed no more resistance faced the heroes. The Space Elves in the bay had been thoroughly beaten, trying to evacuate their wounded- much to their surprise facing such monsters without losing a life.

The Engine room was filled with non-combatants who surrendered, hoping to be spared, but the door to the bridge and the other energy signature was empty. The brightly lit hallway seemed almost an invitation, with colored floor lights guiding them inside. It seemed someone was issuing a challenge.

Clicking his tongue annoyed, Raikou stepped through the door onto the colored tiles. It was a trap, so very clearly, and the Pyro would be needing his help here. Walking through, he kept energy gathered in his hands, ready to fire off a full powered blast if he needed to. The non-combatants who ran around him weren't even worth the time it would take to fire off a blat at them, and he ignored them.

"C'mon Pyro, work together here. Anyone who is stupid enough to draw us into a trap must be powerful."

Did someone say powerful? Oh thank god. Bout time he could get a fight with someone powerful without getting interrupted by flying ships or something.... Besides Ace beating the most powerful person on the ship would equal him as the new captain. It was common space pirate law. Everyone knew that.

"Alright... but remember I got dibs on the ship and the captain alright?! They are both mine."

Ace grinned as he cracked his knuckles, causing his fire to flair out wildly. Things were about to get seriously interesting now. Not that fighting space aliens had been boring per say, just that Ace wanted something he could get his hands on.

Trashed.

Killed by Nekro.

Only Jeisen and Entei may get the XP.
