Tash grumbles a bit at the kiss but the Firefly speeds up none-the-less. After a minute, they can see the Admiral Nelson floating in space, so Tash pulls the ship up next to the shuttle.

"Anybody home?" Soul asks.

Tash shakes his head and sprays fluid all over the place. "No one's answering, and it's a bit cold in there. Say, could someone do me a favor? I've got this mean itch behind my right ear."

"Um...maybe in a minute," Soul replies, and then turns to everyone else. "So who's up for a spacewalk?"

I'll go. It's my shuttle after all. Rat's a good guy. And I know a trick or two about calming down Emma.

If you need me, I'll be getting ready.

* Sitting in one of the Sereni-Tree’s bridge stations, TheRealMe fiddles with the controls until a pair of heavy gauntlets made of metal and plastic descend from the ceiling. He holds his arms up to put them on. Numerous indicator lights flash as the Sereni-Tree’s grappler arms come alive. TheRealMe uses the gauntlets to control the outside grappler arms, which follow their every motion. Very carefully, he makes the grappler arms reach out and pick up the newly-built pifflebarn. Beads of sweat form on his brow from intense concentration as he gently places the barn into the dimensionally-expanded cargo bay. More relaxed, he then scoops up lots of the turf from around the dandelion-filled meadow where it sat. *

Whew! Okay, Sparky and the Ebo Golem can turn that dirt and grass into a fine field for frolicking. But we’ll need a sprinkler system to simulate rain, and maybe an artificial sun…

* TheRealMe removes his hands from the gauntlets and touches a few control surfaces on the panel before him. The grappler arms fold into their places on each side of the ship and the huge cargo bay doors close. He reaches over to touch another control. *

Hey, GreyJedi? Needleseye? Jet? I’m seeing lots of green lights up here on the bridge. Are there any other problems that must be handled before we take off? I’d sort of like to get on with this rescue mission if we can.

Say, I wonder if that "hand glyder" ever got built?

Then I'm sure we can find someway to make our way back to them, and pair up with the rescue mission?

Wow! Jake7 is clearly on the Sereni-Tree now, but she departed on the rescue mission of the Destiny’s Shadow. Hmmmm… No doubt Bluefishie’s teleportation box required a mass exchange, so that when Bluefishie teleported from the Sereni-Tree to the Destiny’s Shadow, Jake7 was teleported back the other way!

As a public service announcement, I will now provide a list of where everyone is:

SOMEWHERE IN DEEP SPACE:

Emma and Rat: Unknown; went on a trading mission to some star system in the Admiral Nelson and ran afoul of aliens. When the Sereni-Tree received their call for help, SoulOfSerenity decided to take some folks with him on his Firefly transport, Destiny’s Shadow to rescue that missing pair.

Jayne-clone2 and ThatWeirdGirl: Part of the Destiny’s Shadow rescue mission. Recently boarded the derelict Admiral Nelson, and found something surprising aboard.

CallMeAth and Lissa: Part of the Destiny’s Shadow rescue mission. Took a DS shuttle off to a nearby planet for a date together.

Bluefishie and her blue fishies: In the Destiny’s Shadow’s cargo bay, waiting.

CallMeSerenity and The Head of Succatash: On the bridge of the Destiny’s Shadow, watching an ominous blip approach the DS and the nearby Admiral Nelson.

Bride2, Jazaf, Needy the Boy Whore, and SoulOfSerenity: Part of the Destiny’s Shadow rescue mission. Still on the DS.

IN A DANDELION MEADOW ON EARTH-THAT-STILL-IS:

Piffle101 and PsychicRiver: Not far from the grounded Sereni-Tree, they had been having fun flying their hang-glyder Thingamajig, but they recently crashed in woods near a village full of Reavers!

TheRealMe: On the bridge of the Sereni-Tree, preparing for takeoff.

Jet (Bride4), Needleseye, and TheGreyJedi: Getting the Sereni-Tree ready for takeoff.

Mal-licious: Last seen admonishing Cozen from the comfort of her deluxe vibrating massage chair.

Cozen and MollyTheParrot: Being cared for in the Sereni-Tree’s Infirmary.

Montanagirl and SimonWho: Caring for Molly and Cozen.

Ebonezer, Jake7, Mai, Static, XanderLHarris, the rest of the Brides, the rest of the Clones, and pretty much everyone else: On or near the Sereni-Tree.

"Oh no..."

*PR wakes up, just as a large Reaver hops out of the tree behind them, and lets out a hefty roar.*

*PR and Piffle panic, absolutely feckin terrorised! Then, all of a sudden, the Reaver takes a bullet in the chest, and flaters, before being hit twice more, then falling at the two youngens feet.*

*PR and Piffle sit, and both look down at the Reaver, then up to each other, then behind them, to see a man holding a shot gun.*

*PR and Piffle take a sigh of relief, just as the man is knocked off of his feet and malled by a Reaver.*

Okay...okay...what do we do...We can't run, they'd catch us, and we'd never make it in time.

Think PR...think! *He scans the land around him...looking for something.

*Then Piffle points at something.*

Piffle: Look!

*PR looks at what she's pointing at. Just outside a mud-hut house, lies a land-mule.*

You think you can drive it?

*Piffle worriedly nods.*

*Suddenly a woman burts out of the house, screaming, being pursued by two Reavers.*

*In the center of the village, two tank-like reaver vehicles blow up houses with missiles, and pin down passers by and drag them in.*

Okay...on, three...

*PR and Piffle get ready to make a run for the muel.*

One, Two, Three!

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul came running into the Bridge as Serenity stared at the blip on the screen approaching their location. He grabbed the intercom.

"Weirdess, Jayne-Clone2, we're gonna try to draw them away!"

Soul replaced the handset and turned to where Tash's head floated in his jar.

"So what kind of fancy flyin' do you got for us?" Soul asked the floating head.

Tash shrugged (or did something with his head that counts as shrugging). Then he grinned.

"Let's find out what this baby can do."

Soul opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut off as the ship lurched to the side.

"Woohoo!" Tash yelled as he piloted Destiny's Shadow straight for the oncoming ship.

Then the comm crackled to life.

"We are the Doe Marr. You are no match for the Degassian Empire."

Then it was Soul's turn to grin as he sat down in the chair across from Tash and pressed a few buttons on the console, activating the Firefly's various armaments.

"Let's find out, shall we?"

* On the Bridge of theSereni-Tree, TheRealMe touches a control surface that sounds a ship-wide alarm. Then he speaks into the com unit. *

Attention! Attention! Reavers approaching! The Sereni-Tree will depart in one minute! Mister Static to the Bridge, please! I need volunteers to crew our two quad-laser turrets.

* He touches another control to connect to Engineering. *

Grey! Jet! Needle! We are about to take off unless you can give me a compelling reason to wait!

* He touches other controls to power up the Sereni-Tree’s engines, as well as her dorsal and ventral laser turrets and the twin-linked plasma cannons on either side of the Bridge. *

Huh. Where is that Static? Well, THIS should get him here quicker!

* TheRealMe leaves his control station and climbs up into Static’s cramped cockpit. From that vantage point, he has a marvelous view. In the distance, he can see the mule speeding closer, leaping and bucking as it flies over the terrain, with Piffle and PsychicRiver both hanging on for dear life. Just behind them, he can see…. *

Reavers! It’s a horizon full of Reavers!

* Behind Piffle and PsychicRiver, there are numerous speeding Reaver vehicles of various types. Motrocycles, cars, buggies… TANKS?! And in each one are Reavers dressed in dingy jackets, goggles, leather, and feathers, as if they had come off the set of “Road Warrior”. They all brandish weapons. *

Huh! Too many. Too fast. Looks like Piffle and PsychicRiver aren’t going to beat them here!

* TheRealMe quickly checks external cameras to make sure that everybody has gotten aboard. Then he activates the ship-wide com again. *

Change in plan! We are taking off NOW! Everyone grab hold of something!

* TheRealMe slaps the big red button and the Sereni-Tree’s engines flare to life. *

The Real Me, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree

* From the pilot dome of the Sereni-Tree, TheRealMe causes the ship to hover over their landing site for a moment, then angles it toward the approching mule and mob of Reavers. He activates the com to Engineering. *

Grey! Jet! If Static doesn't get here soon, I'm going to need one of you to take over piloting duties from down there. I want you to stay hovering over the mule with PsychicRiver and Piffle, matching their speed.

* TheRealMe touches another control. *

Whoever is in our turrets, fire on the Reavers at will!

* TheRealMe switches the com link again. *

Piffle! PsychicRiver! This is Me! Keep moving! I have a plan!

Oh, okay...full speed ahead Piffle!

You know, for a second there, I thought you were going without us!

"Two by two, hands of blue."

"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"
"I swallowed a bug."

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

*jake7 hearing TRM's annoucement goes running for a turret. She jumps into place behind the gun and puts on her headset, waiting for the word to fire*

Well, this ought to be interesting...

*she spies the horde of Reavers chasing after PR and Piffle*

Well, I guess I'm not going to have to wait for word to fire..

*she flips a couple of switches and the guns and view screens come to life. She lines up the guns with the line of Reavers and once the alarm goes off to signal the gun is ready, she lets the bullets fly. The suprised Reavers in the front line begin to go down*

Gotcha!

*she giggles with glee and continues to fire at the Reavers...*

JAZAF

'By the way you guys might want to run silent for awhile. Don't want these guys to take pot shots at you.' Soul advises to Thatwierdgirl and the other people on board the shuttle.

Destiny's Shadow barrels towards the Degassian ship.
'Let's play a little Simon says.' Souls mumbles to himself.'Simon says "Follow me"'
As the Firefly passes over the slightly larger ship, Soul fires a few rounds on the top of the ship.

The Degassians turn and follow the Firefly. It opens fire but, thanks to Tash's great flying skills, only cause minimal damage. However, minimal damage has a way of adding up, as the crew see various lights go from green to red.

'I think it's time we quit stringin' them along Captain!'
'I agree. Give us a Crazy Ivan, Tash! I have a plan.'
Tash complies and spins the Firefly around, flying it directly into the fire from the opposing ship.
'Tash! On my command, barrel roll on the starboard side then turn hard to port.'

Yet again, the two ships barrel towards one another. The Degassian ship firing round after round, luckily the armor for Destiny's Shadow holds.

'This is lookin' really dicey....' Jazaf says.
'Soul knows what he's doing. Right Soul?' Serenity asks hopefully.

Soul nods to Serenity, she gives an audible sigh of relief.
'Now Tash!'

Any later and the two ships would have collided. In a beautiful maneuver, Destiny's Shadow dodged to the right, spun hard to the left and found themselves facing the exposed rear of the opposing ship.

Soul only smiled as he fired on the ships Main Thrusters.

From the surface of the nearest planet one could swear they saw fireworks in the sky.

'Alright Tash. Let's check back with TWG.'

SAFEAT2ND

Out of the trees on the the opposite side of the Sereni-Tree, bursts another Hover-Mule piloted by two grim faced men. It streaks under the rising Sereni-Tree, headed straight for the other fleeing mule.

One of the men stands, a rocket launcher on his shoulder. At the precise moment the guns on the Sereni-Tree bark to life, the man fires.

The missle impacts on one of the lead vehicle throwing bodies everywhere, but the horde just plows them under.

"This is going to be close Jack....too close.."

The man called Jack Grunts and tosses aside the spent launcher, and un-clasps a bandolier of grenades. "Just give me the word, Safe."

SAFEAT2ND

Enter Jack and Safe:

"Now" the man called Safe hollers as the distance between the two mule closes to mere feet.

The man called Jack quickly pulls the pins on all the grenades and drops the grenades to the floor of the mule. Both men then leap off.....landing heavily and awkwardly in the fleeing mule.

Their, now pilotless mule, slams into the advancing horde with an eardrum splitting explosion.

"S'alright Jack?"
"Ya, you?"
"Coupla busted ribs. And a blackness closin' in. It work...?" The man called Safe slumps into unconciousness.

"Bought us some time, not a lot...."

"Sorry to intrude, name's Jack. My unconcious friend here's Safe."

THEGREYJEDI

*as though of their own accord, the twin quad laser turrets erupt into life, spraying ship-sized blaster fire into the mere mortal reavers. In dark corner of Engineering, a set of computer banks kick on with a click and low hum as cooling fans whirr. A series of monitors and light click on in sequence leading to the very corner. A red overhead light clicks on in the corner illuminating the body of TGJ, suspended in a capsule of some liquid, interface wires linked to his temples, back, and hands extend into the walls of his corner. The light turns white as his eyes shoot open. The liquid drains from the capsule, the interface wires snapping off of his bare skin. He floats down to one knee. Dripping, he stands up again, his senses getting readjusted to the physical plane.*

Cold. Wet.

*closes his eyes*

Damnit. He's not finsihed yet.

*runs down the corridors in only a pair of wet black trunks to the hell access hatch for the roof. He pops the hatch and begins to walk to the side with the highest concentration of reavers. Laser fire flies all around him. He gets a running start and leaps from the side of the ship.*

Magnadeus!

*the earth erupts in a clod of dust and sod and rock, a large shadowed figure emerges upward. As the dust settles, a large metal white hand supports TGJ in the air, TGJ leaning on the thumb. The massive mecha is built in the semblance of a knight, only very broad. It screams "Tank." The base color is brilliant white. Intricate gold inlays decorate the large panels on the chest, lower legs, forearms, shoulders and "helm" of this massive robot. A large lens in the middle of the chest of the machine is red, as are the "eyes". A deep red cloak flows out behind. At the very top is a massive hilt, even for the giant mecha. The hand reaching skyward lowers to the large red dome on the chest, which slides upward to accept its pilot.*

Almost..ALMOST.. *remembers to keep her calm just like Wash*

PR- Will me make the landing?
Piffle101- Only if it's made of fluffy pillows...

(Couldn't resist!!!)

*controlling the steering wheel with all her strength Piffle guides it roughly into the Serenity-TREE*

Steady the TREE TRM! I need steadiness!!

*quickly the TREE is steadied and the mule makes its way into the ship.*

*TRM goes to the lever to shut the door*
But-
A huge ton of Reaver Spam is flung directly into the TREE landing smack dab on a few of the crew member's and Ms. Kitty

One the ship was securely closed, Ms. Kitty dug her way to the top of the SPAM and began to clean herself off of the human SPAM...

PR,TRM, Piffle- EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Because Dancers are tough,mean...Chicas!! -Summer Glau
