After another hour of praying and screaming for help the shuttle begins to shake a bit and then level out. Instead of the inevitable crash and burn Mai and Ervin land very softly in a dark and very expensive forest!

"Ervin, wake up! We've got some adventuring to do!"

*they leave the shuttle and begin walking through the forest as they walk they notice that one tree at the far end of the path seems a little strange. In fact, it is not a tree at all, but a ship that looks like a tree house in a tree!!!!

Mai and Ervin approach the ship and knock on the door. There is a whirring sound and a mechanical voice comes from a loud speaker "HALT! Who goes there?! You must enter the correct password to enter! You have ONE try!"

At the same time a security camera opens it's eye and glares at the pair standing a bit dumbfounded outside something that looks nearly identical to the TreeShip they inhabit.

"Ummm... password, right....purple ice cream?"

They take a step back in anticpation of an answer from inside.

"Erv, buddy this looks a lot like home, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Something is off here."

**Back at the SereniTREE, Jake7 wanders forlornly around the ship. At each room, she stops to check to see if anyone is there. She's been through 98% of the ship and there are no signs of life.

She is at a loss to explain the disappearance of her shipmates.

She has made her way to the cockpit and sits in the captain's chair. She stares unseeing at the blinking lights of the console.

A crackle of static comes over the comm and it startles her. She waits hopefully for more noise, a voice, but nothing else follows.

She slumps back against the back of the chair and stares out the window at the endless black of space...**

As the communicator crackles with static the low power light comes on along with a mechanical voice "warning this communication device has low batter power. approximately 25 minutes of power left...

After yet another panicked moment Mai pushes the button again desperately hoping someone on the other end can hear her transmission.

"SERENITREE HELP! I'm stranded Godess knows where with a yeti. No offense Erv. HELP PLEASE! IF you can hear me at all please try and get a lock on our location. We just wanna go home! Oh and by the way the ET's are back and I don't mean the cutesy movie ones..."

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul comes to slowly, shivering and...NAKED?!?!? He curses and covers himself, crawling to his feet. Looking around, he finds himself back in his cabin on the SereniTREE. Scrambling, he pulls together an outfit and gets dressed, being sure to strap his dagger to his belt and slinging his bow and arrows across his back. With one last adjustment of the bandolier of arrowheads across his chest, he makes his way to the common room.

Empty.

"Hello?"

No reply.

He shakes his head, trying to brush away the cobwebs that have gathered there. He remembers being on the SerenitTREE, Mai flying away, and then...nothing.

With a grumble he begins to search the ship for any sign of life.

**As jake7 stares sightlessly out of the cockpit window, a sudden beeping comes from the console in front of her, startling her out of her sad reverie.**

What the?

**She realizes it's the motion detector alarm that she activated when she did her last round on the 'TREE. She excitedly stands up and exclaims**

Someone's on the ship!!

**She tears out of the cockpit, running through the halls and as she rounds a corner near the Common Area, she runs smack dab into someone. The two fall to the floor, both nursing their foreheads where their heads were knocked together in the collision. As her vision clears, she sees who it is**

SOUL! You're here!!

**she gives him a fierce, almost bone-cracking hug. Soul struggles to breathe in the onslaught. She begins talking in a rush**

I'm so happy to see you!! I've been alone on the 'TREE for months and months!!! I haven't heard from Mai and I've been so worried. Everyone seems to have disappeared and I don't know how to fly this thing and...

**she trails off, out of steam. After taking a deep breath she continues on**

Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it. Even Sparky is missing!

**a vague memory tugs at her brain**

At one point in the past few months, I thought I heard some static over the comm, but it never repeated. I couldn't find the button that would boost the signal. I'm not even sure there is such a thing. Gray's manual is just too big and complicated to find anything...

**a thought occurs to her**

Do you know much about the 'TREE's communications system? Maybe you can search the database of saved comms to see if you can lock down the location of that last communication...

Soul crinkles his nose in thought.

"Well, I can see what I can pull up..."

He walks onto the Bridge and plops down in a chair in front of the communication console. Pulling a cable out of his pocket, he plugs one end into the console and the other into the small socket behind his left ear.

"Okay, let's fire this baby up!"

Over the next few minutes, the computer plays through every transmission ever made to or from the SereniTREE. Soul tries to narrow down the search parameters but gives up after a few minutes and leans back. Then:

"It's been months and you've only caught the one doppleganger?!!! You have 48 hours to capture the rest of them and bring them back here or it's you who will be wallowing in one of these filthy cells!"

"What a nightmare I must have... " she breaks off as she takes in the surroundings. "Holy turnips it's all real! What am I going to do?!"

One lone guard sits in a rickety chair staring intently at a small handheld computer screen.

*Mai rattles the bars and shouts, "Hey Mister Guard what's a girl gotta do to bribe her way out of a cell?"

The guard looks up with a smirk on his face.
"Oh there is nothing you can do to escape your doom little girl."

"Escape my doom? Really that's the best you've got? Why dont' you come over here and say that to my face?!"

*The guard saunters over to the cell door and and leans against the door peering in at her. "I said "There is no..."

His sentence ends abruptly as Mai grabs his collar and pulls him halfway between the bars for a slightly exaggerated kiss. As he collapses onto the floor she reaches for his belt and snags the dungeon keys. She places the small tube of lipstick back in her pocket.

"Huh. I knew that would come in handy some day."

Eyes closed, Soul hangs onto the controls, every fiber of his being screaming in pain.

"This...was not...a good...idea..."

He couldn't figure out how to access anything in relation to the hyperdrive. So he decided on plan B. When beating the console didn't work, he moved on to plan C. The way he figured it, he had phased with people before. He had phased with several people before. Just maybe he could phase with the SereniTREE.

"Hang on!" He shouts. "This could get interesting! And don't ask me to define that!!!"

With a roar, he focuses as hard as he can, and phases---

-----and the SereniTREE, with a squeal of metal, as well as a few crewpeople, vanishes from hyperspace and reappears many light years away, coming to a violent stop in orbit above the planet Mai's signal originated from.

"Ow..."

A point of light appears. It expands to become a ring of fire surrounding a dark void.

From the circle of darkness steps a tall blond woman with a katana held in her bionic right hand. She steps to the left.

Next follows a shorter red-headed woman with a katana in each hand. She steps to the right.

Finally, a third figure steps out of the darkness. He is covered in a cloak of black ribbons which float and weave around him. He is holding a large weapon, a spam-gun, in both hands across his chest. "So? Do we have a plan?"

The red-head spots Jazaf and moves her right-handed katana in a salute that he taught her. "Sensei! Nice to see you again!"

Soul stumbles down the stairs into the common room. Seeing all of the familiar faces gathered, he prepares his most heartfelt greeting.

"Mama noobie junk junk nerf herder."

With that, he collapses into a chair at the bar, his right arm flopping onto the bar top just in time to catch a mug of coffee slid down the bar by Trey.

"Dinka dinka," Soul states sincerely just before passing out.

Soul (after a long pause): "Yeah. Because I have one."

**OOC: Soul, your entry made me laugh so hard, I just about choked on my egg salad!**

**jake7 watches Soul babble incoherently then collapse**

What the...? He was fine, if quiet, just after we stopped!

**She walks over to Soul and shakes him gently**

Soul?

**He remains unresponsive. She looks to the rest of the crew present and looks askance at them**

Any ideas?

**** Meanwhile back at the Bat Cave...
(ooh wait wrong story).....

Meanwhile back in the dark corridor Mai runs back in the direction of the cells. She darts quickly past them finding a small storage closet just in time. She grabs for the door handle and scuttles inside quickly. Holding her breath, she listens as the soldiers stop just outside the cells. The voices fade after a few minutes. Too afraid to open the door for being caught the fatigue and sadness catch up with her.

"What am I going to do? Being lost was good for awhile, but this isn't fun anymore. It's been days... and getting close to the holidays too. I wonder if any of the crew have psychic abilities? Well, it's a long shot....

*She sits down, closes her eyes, and begins concentrating on her friends one at a time.

"HELP IF YOU CAN HEAR OR SEE OR FEEL ME PLEASE HELP!!!!! I'm all on my own and I need you guys in the worst way."

*After nearly an hour of repeating this mantra in her head she falls asleep dreaming of the Tree and all the Christmas parties of the past...

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes
