And our Latest Adventure
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22469

In which:

Wolf found a bomb in Pain's bunk, which Pain was none too happy about, Wolf was thrown into a pile of horse poo as the bomb exploded (causing him to become temporarily deaf), Wolf then left Serenity and boarded a mystery ship (which Kaylee was none too happy about), Serenity then got boarded by pirates who's Captain knew Pain, a massive gunfight erupted where Pain shot and killed the Captain of the pirates, Pain told Fly and Ertia about his affair with the female pirate Captain (which caused Fly to become mad and take his rocket launcher as payment for his betrayal of their relationship, and caused Ertia to spend some time to away from Pain think over her relationship with him), Pain learned from John that the woman he killed was the twin sister of the woman he had an affair with and that she (the woman who Pain had an affair with) has a daughter which is Pain's (although Pain doesn't know it yet). *takes a breath* Ertia finds a hopeful client for the Independent gold that was found in the safe from the Three Hills junkyard job on Paquin, JR got some nice marker pen facial art, Pain cooked breakfast, and now the crew's heading for Paquin.

We're open to all authors and writing styles. This thread is just for fun! However, we do ask that a couple of simple rules be followed:

No killing of other authors characters or of canon characters. In that vein, try to keep canon characters acting like themselves.

Please try to post with consideration for fellow authors and with some consistency to current story-lines.

Sub-plots are great and we welcome them, but please try to make them fit into the current stories as much as possible.

Oh, and please keep things as close to PG as possible. If you have a more adult scene you'd like posted, send it to Ertia and She'll put it up on her site.

You're welcome Guy.

*Everybody was up and enjoying the meal Pain cooked up. The spicy egg substitute and protein omelletes were almost gone but that was mostly due to JR. Mal drank some tea, swallowed and said to Ertia*

So you're friend give us a location as were to meet 'em?

*Ertia swallowed and replied*

Yeah he said to meet him in an alley in the business district of New Vegas near an abandoned building.

*Mal shook his head a little and said*

That ain't sittin' to well with me darlin'. There's a whole mess of trouble that'd happen in an alley like that. Did ya give him some alternate places to meet at?

*Ertia drank some tea and replied*

Yes sir but the place he chose is the only place he feels comfrtable meetin' at.

*Mal sighed and said*

Alright but I'm takin' a few people with us. Just to make sure there's no trouble.

*Erita took another bite of her omellete and said*

Well if you do just know that my contact will be doin' the same. He's not a very trustin' person, only has a close knit group of friends.

*Pain butted in*

That's fine with me. I could always take a sniper position across the way if'n I need to.

*Ertia looked at Pain as Mal said*

That'd be mighty fine Pain but I hope we don't have to resort to shootin' folk. Especially if they're Ertia's kind of folk.

*Ertia gave Mal a smile and continued to eat her omellete.*

*Pain finished his second helping, got up, and put his plate in the sink. He started to head out of the galley when Ertia said to him*

Where you goin' Pain?

*Pain looked back at Ertia, he desperately wanted to take her, but he knew she still needed time to think about their relationship. Pain smiled, repressed the hunger he had for Ertia, and said*

I'm goin' to work out for a bit.

*Ertia watched Pain leave, her heart beating a mile a minute. She knew in her heart she wanted to jump his bones but her mind was still trying to decide if she could trust him again. Ertia looked at her plate and decided she wasn't hungry anymore. She got up, put her plate into the sink and headed off to her room.*

Meanwhile in the cargo bay

*Pain sat down on the weight bench and started to do some reps. Lifting weights was only one of the few things he could do to get Ertia off of his mind until she came to a decision. Pain grunted as he lifted the weights slowly up and down, his muscles bulging as he did so. Unbeknownst to him Ertia was watching him work out.*

John decided to chance the infirmary again. When he got there the pain was barely noticible so he sat down on a counter and watched Simon check Sybils vitals giggle giggle . When he looked into Sybils eyes he felt pain but not physical, emotional. Her cousins death had hit her hard.

"Do you have a reason to be in here" Simon said walking toward the counter

"Nope"

"Then why are you in here"

"You know now that Wolf is gone Kaylee is available"

"And"

"I know how you feel about her"

"What"

"Hello Empath and I know shekindo sorta really likes you"

"Get out of my infirmary"

"Oooh fiesty okay I'm gone"

*Ertia watched Pain some more as he started his third rep of lifting weights. She liked watching his muscles flex and his chest move up and down with every breath. Ertia thought of all the things she would be doing with Pain, but the voice in her head was still waging battle with the feelings in her heart. Ertia shook her head and left for her room, too distracted in her thoughts to see John until she bumped into him. Ertia smiled and said to John*

Sorry about that I guess I didn't see you there John.

*John smiled a small smile and replied*

It's fine Ertia. Really, no need to apologize.

*Ertia smiled and said*

No really I should apologize. I uh was distracted by the job on Paquin.

*John replied*

No you weren't, you were distracted by Pain's working out.

*Etria said, tilting her head a little*

How did you....

*John cut her off and said*

I'm an empath remember. All I can say is follow your heart. I know you think you can't trust him again but you can.

*John started to walk up the stairs. He stopped, turned to Ertia and said*

Oh one more thing. The woman Pain killed was not the woman you thought she was.

*Ertia replied with a confused look on her face*

What do you mean John?

*John replied*

The woman Pain killed was not Melanie but her twin sister Serena.

*At that John continued to walk up the stairs, leaving Ertia to ponder over what he said.*

*Pain finished his work out, took off his shirt, and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He noticed Ertia looking up the stairs near the infirmary, deep in thought. Pain placed a hand on her shoulder, making Ertia jump a little. She turned aroun, saw Pain and said*

Oh hey Pain you scared me a little.

*Pain smiled and said*

Sorry babe didn't mean to. Just saw you there gawkin' up the stairs like you saw somethin'.

Ertia sighs, "Pain, do you.. did he tell you that may have been the wrong woman back there?"

The mercenary nods slowly, and Ertia can feel his eyes watching her intently, gauging her reaction. "Yeah."

She can see the pain in his eyes, the set of his expression as he continues, "But I'd like to point out for the record that no matter which sister it was, she was trying to kill me. And you, for that matter."

Ertia nods, slowly, taking it in. It was true. That woman had come here to kill him. A flare of indignation rises in her again and she give Pain a feral grin, "Good thing we don't die so easy, isn't it?"

Before Pain can answer Wash's voice comes over the com, "Ertia, errr...Vivian, can you come to the bridge, we've got a wave coming through for you. It's..."

The pilot hesitates for a moment, "It's just wierd. You gotta see this."

Ertia and Pain head onto the bridge as Mal and Zoe step back to let Ertia through to the screen.

Onscreen is a hand puppet made from a sock. It wears a painted-on tunic with a an old earth-that-was crest, and a mideaval looking helmet made out of a blue-sun tomato sauce can.

"Lady Vivian!" The computer modulated voice expresses it's surprise at discovering the identity of it's mystery contact.

Ertia surpresses a giggle. She loves 3dp's sense of humor, but wishes that she'd been a bit more cautious about tipping her hand before sprinting into full view of the screen. With a deep bow, she gives a flourish of her hand, "At your service, Sir Trystan."

The puppet bows likewise, "I see rumors of your demise have been greatly exaggerated, my lady."

"My Lord Arthur expects you at the rendevoux on time. Yourself, and two others."

"Of course, Trystan." Ertia tugs Mal in front of the screen."My captain, Sir Reynolds." Then she gestures Zoe forward, "The Lady Washburne. they will be accompanying me."

The hand puppet salutes and then bobs it's head, making it's helmet wobble precariously, "Lady Vivian, my true treasure has been discovering that you live."

The computer modulation drops away and 3dp's familiar cockny accent comes across, "Gorram girl, ya watch yer back! Don't die on me again."

Then the screen goes black, and Ertia grins to herself.

Monday, July 31, 2006 10:12 PM

didnt know the stuff for plottwist so i made this.

*the rumours took hold almost instantly, "a pirate with a sword of fire!"
the rumors found the ears of the women in the heart of gold, the rumor found the ears of bester on three hills, the rumor found the ears of atherton wing,the rumors hit the 'verse like a herd of stampedeing buffaloe and eventually, the rumors found the ears of a man in a bar, as these things usually do, he walked up to the bar and a fight erupted on the other side of the room.*

*the man grinned, flexed his metal arm and threw a chair at the fighting crowd, the whole bar started to anger and fight, eventually everyone turned to the man standing in the middle of it all*

man" he's the one who started the whole thing, GET HIM!"

*the man just smiled and pulled out a katana, people laughed, he activated the device and gow of brilliant red light surrounded the blade, he cut the head off of the nearest man with a single swipe, the wounded neck glowing with heated energy, the people charged and the slaughter began...*

twenty minuites later

*the man stepped out of the bar and reholstered his weapon, he walked over to his new ship and took off. he watched out of the main window into the black and spoke.*

"look out mal, here i come."

*the ship left planet side and wolf got closer to the serenity.*

That sends Ertia into gales of laughter, the others just staring at her. "Three Deep is a very private person. I half expect we'll be doing business with three of his men and a video monitor...although..."

She doesn't finish her thought and shakes it off, "Nah. No lint. He likes to deal in cashy money."

"Seemed glad to see you alive," Wash pipes up, "You sure he won't blab your alive-and-wellness to the Alliance?"

Ertia sobers, "No. I'm not. But it's too late to worry about that now."

At one time, she would have said yes, that 3dp was one of the few hackers who stuck to the code, played by the unspoken rules of the digital underworld. But now, she couldn't make any promises.

Wolf, you know you can pm me, right? I would have sent you the plottwist info.

DRPAIN

Tuesday, August 1, 2006 12:42 AM

*Mal replied*

Ah cashy money now there's some words in the verse that I like to hear. Now I know your contact said to only bring two people with you, but with our luck or more like bad luck here, it wouldn't help to have some eyes and ears up high.

*Mal turned to Pain and said*

Pain I want you and Jayne to take sniper duty just in case. Dong ma?

*Pain nodded and said*

Yes sir Captain.

*Mal turned to Ertia and said*

This won't be a problem will it?

Ertia pauses while she thinks about Mal's question. Underneath, she wants to trust Deep, and wants to prove that she, too, can hold to the code, that she's worthy of the hat she wears in the digital world.

But they can't trust anyone, even paranoid hackers.

Finally, she sighs, "Not a problem, sir. I'd rather it weren't a necessity. Deep and I go back a long way."

Mal drops a hand on her shoulder, "I'd rather it weren't, too. We can't be too careful."

"How long until we land on Paquin?" Ertia asks Wash.

He checks his com panel, "'Bout two hours more or less."

Ertia glances up at Pain, "You doing anything right at the moment?"

He shrugs, "Nope, just killing time."

"I gotta work of some nerves," She grins at the hopeful look in his eye, and almost feels bad expressing her next thought, "Wanna get a game of hoop-ball going?"

Tuesday, August 1, 2006 2:38 AM

"Just don't take the septic hatch seal this time." Mal answers, his eyes already straying back to the viewing windows.

Ertia laughs, remembering how very nearly disastrous that was the last time. "No, sir. Kaylee picked up some junker parts Three Hills and I saw a hatch-seal in there."

She gives Pain a pat on the back. "I'm gonna round up Fly and Jayne. You go find JR and Guy. Y'all are gonna go down!"

He slaps her rear as she passes, "No ruttin' way, girl! JR, Guy and I are gonna eat ya alive!"

"Hey now!" Wash calls back from the pilots chair, "E and Fly might actually like that idea!"

With a leap, Ertia clears the last steps to land in the galley and taps Shepherd Book on the shoulder where he sits at the table, "Shepherd, we were talking three on three, but I bet if Sybil wants to play on JR's side, we can make it four on four!"

"Well now, I'd be honored to show you youngsters how the game is played." Shepherd Book stands up and loosens his cravat and Ertia grins at him.

"Great! Meet y'all in the cargo bay!"

She stops at the closet to grab the ball and check it for air before pelting into the cargo bay. "Game on! Who's in?"

*Pain searched the ship for JR and Guy. He found Guy at the autowasher and said to him*

Hey Guy wanna play some hoop ball?

*Guy thought about it and replied*

Yeah I guess. Who's team will I be on?

*Pain grinned and said*

You'll be on mine. The game will be me, you, and JR against Ertia, Jayne and Fly. Hovever if Ertia gets another person and I can get another person, then we can have a game of four on four.

*Guy nodded and said*

Sounds like fun. So where's JR?

*Pain replied*

Probably in the infirmary with Sybil or somewhere. Why don't we go find them?

*Guy nods and the two men go off to find a third and possibly fourth player for their team.*

Ertia hands Jayne the hoop from the scrapbin and lets him toss the web-strapping over the cargo-rail, grinning as he misses the first time, swears loudly and tries again.

This time, it hooks and as he pulls the hoop high, she bounces the ball against the floor and then against a crate.

Fly hops to the bottom of the stairs, her usual combat boots traded off for running shoes. "So, who's the team?"

"Pain went to get Guy and JR, maybe Sibyl. If Sibyl wants to play, Preacher's in." Ertia answers, pointing to where Book is sitting on the weight bench changing his shoes.

"We get Book?" Fly asks hopefully. The minister is lean, but strong, and fairly fast for his age.

Ertia nods happily and bounces the ball through the hoop as a test shot. "Little higher, Jayne!"

Tuesday, August 1, 2006 5:42 PM

*Pain and Guy found JR and Sybil in the galley talking about Mac. They looked over at Pain and Guy as they entered the galley. Pain smiled, nodded at Sybil, turned to JR and said*

So JR are you up for a game of hoop ball?

*Sybil intrigued said to JR*

What is this hoop ball game? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it.

*JR smiled at Sybil and said*

It's a game where you throw a ball through a hoop. It's a team based game were your team tries to score more points than they other.

*Sybil nodded and said to JR*

That sounds quite delightful. Mind if I watch dear?

*JR smiled and replied*

Not at all Sybil. So Pain what are the teams?

*Pain replied*

Well so far Ertia has Jayne, Fly, and Book and right now I have just Guy here. I'm hopin' you could play on my team.

*JR grinned and said*

Well if that's the case consider me on your team. So who's gonna be our fourth?

*Pain thought about it then said*

Don't worry I know who to pick. Why don't you four go down to the cargo bay while I head to the engine room.

*Guy nodded and said*

Sure thing Pain. You know this is the first time I've played hoop ball in three years. I hope I ain't rusty.

*JR got up, along with Sybil and said to Guy*

I'm sure you'll do fine Guy.

*Guy nodded and left for the cargo bay with JR and Sybil. Pain watched them go and headed for the engine room. He heard Kaylee talking to John, knocked on the doorframe and said*

Uh Kaylee are you busy?

*Kaylee looked at Pain, smiled and said*

Not really Pain what can I do for ya?

*Pain grinned and said*

You up for a game of hoop ball? You can be on my team since Ertia has Fly, Jayne, and Book.

*Kaylee's eyes lit up as she said*

Well count me in Mr. Big, tall, mercenary man.

*Pain smiled and said*

Shiny.

*John tilted his head and replied*

I don't think I'm familiar with the game, mind if I watch?

*Kaylee smiled and replied*

Naw John that'd be shiny.

'Nuf talkin' lets play.

Ertia ducks under JR's arm, catching the backwards bounce propelled to her from Shepherd Book.

Leaping as high as she can, she throws one-armed towards the hoop, only to see Pain's hand block it. With a mock glare, she dashes after it.

Jayne yells that he's free and she scoops the ball and sends it towards Jayne just before she finds herself tackled. She's giggling as she wails, "Hey! there's no tackling in hoop-ball!"

"Is now!" Guy lets her up and moves to block Jayne's shot, only to have Fly tackle him from behind.

For a brief moment, everyone is laughing, even the normally proper and prim Sybil.

*JR snatches the ball as it rolls away from Guy. Book does his best to block JR and tries to grab the ball. JR pivots on his right foot, spots Pain and throws the ball over to him. Pain caught the ball and manuevered past Ertia. He jumped and thew the ball through the hoop. The four of them yelled in triumph as Pain made the first basket. Pain turned to Ertia and said*

*Sybil watches from the catwalk as Jayne makes a basket and Ertia, Fly, and Book whoop it up. She turns to Choo who had heard there was a game going on in the cargo bay, and said to him*

This is certainly a very interesting game isn't Mr. Choo?

*Choo grinned and replied*

It certainly is. I have to say this game reminds me of one the young kids on Three Hill use to play.

*Sybil smiled and said to Choo*

Please tell me more Mr. Choo.

Meanwhile

*Kaylee stole the ball from Fly and passed it to Guy. Guy bounced the ball between his legs as he moved across the cargo bay floor. Book grabbed the ball and threw it to Ertia, only to have it intercepted by Pain. Pain was about to make a shot when Ertia tackled him from behind. Pain craddled the ball as he rolled onto his back. He said to Ertia, who was straddling him and trying to take the ball from him*

HEY THAT'S A FOUL!

*Ertia stuck out her tongue, managed to steal the ball from Pain, and said to him*

What're goin' to do about it?

*Ertia got her answer as she tried to shoot the ball. Pain grabbed one of her ankles and pulled her off balance, making her fall to the floor. Pain quickly snatched the ball back, smiled and said*

I've had word from our wayward 13. He'll not be able to post for a while so his subplot is on hold.
Fly? Are you out there? Should we head to Osiris after we unload the coin?

Ertia watches from the floor as Pain shoots, the ball tapping the rim before bouncing away. She grins, trying not to think about how good, how familiar, he'd felt underneath her when she'd tackled him. Springing back to her feet she helps block JR's dive for the ball, giving Jayne time to snag it and pass it to Fly.

The wiry gunwoman springs around Guy's outstretched hand and flings the ball with deadly accuracy though the middle of the hoop. Fly gives war whoop, "TWO to ONE!"

"Oh, you are so gonna pay for that!" JR dives for the ball and spins it behind Ertia's back to Pain.

"You got the credits, I got the time!" Fly catcalls, jumping to block Pain's path to the basket.

Ertia's trying to get the ball back, darting in front of him, trying to snag it on the bounce, but his t-shirt is soaked with sweat, clinging to his muscular frame, and she's close enough to see the outline of his pecs as he darts around her... too busy watching his body, she forgets to watch the ball, and he drops it easily to JR, who makes an easy lay-up through the hoop.

"ERTIA!" The rest of her team groans.

"Yer supposed to be blockin', not fantasticizing!" Jayne bellows, and she blushes, realizing that she'd just stood there and watched as they'd scored.

*Pain shouted*

TWO to TWO! I do believe we're tied! JR shall we beat these four senseless?

*JR grinned and said as he went to block Jayne who had the ball*

Yes Pain we shall.

*Jayne replied as he tried to find someone open*

Y'all jus' jabber away. We'll wipe the floor with ya.

*Jayne spotted Fly and threw it to her. Fly was about to catch it when Guy jumped up, caught the ball, and elbowed Fly in the gut. Guy shouted as he dodged Ertia*

Sorry Fly you left me no choice!

*Guy ran from Ertia, sidestepped Book, ran towards the hoop, jumped and threw the ball through the hoop. Guy shouted out while hanging off the hoop with one hand*

THREE to TWO suckers!

Ertia watches in frustration as Guy scored. "That's it! Y'all ain't seen nothing yet!"

She tugs up her shirt, tucking the bottom edge through the neckline, revealing her slim middriff and a deep well of cleavage. "Bring it on, kids!"

Fly flings the ball in her direction and Ertia bobs between JR's legs to grab it, and flip it over to Book. She darts for the basket and yells, "OPEN!" knowing that Book and Jayne wouldn't fall for it, while the others would.

As Pain and Kaylee move to block her from the ball, Shepherd makes a back-handed pass to Jayne, who immediately passes it to Fly.

Leaping up and propelling herself off a crate with one leg, she leaps high and slams the ball through the hoop!

"SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"TAKE that!" Ertia is laughing, even as sweat runs down her face. She really really really doesn't want an extra month of chores! She'd counted on JR's recent trouble to slow him down some, give them the advantage. Obviously, she'd underestimated!

*Pain wiped the sweat off his forehead with his shirt. Pain said as he took off his shirt, flinging it over near a crate*

Alright no more playin' nice.

*Pain rushes Fly who has the ball. She tries to make another shot when Pain jumps up and slams the ball away from her. Guy picks up the ball, dodges Jayne, and passes it to Kaylee. Kaylee sees Ertia coming at her and throws the ball to JR. JR then weaves between Jayne and Book and makes like he's going to throw the ball to Pain. Jayne takes the bait and swears to himself as JR moves around Books blocking and scores another point for his team.*

*Ertia takes the ball and runs down the cargo bay with it. Guy is distracted by Ertia's cleavage and misses a chance to block her. Ertia passes it to Fly who then passes it back to Ertia as JR is blocking Fly. Ertia is about to make the shot when Pain lifts her up from behind. This suprises Ertia who makes the mistake of passing the ball to Kaylee. Kaylee proceeds to run and tosses the ball to Guy who makes a basket for his team. Ertia says to Pain, who's still holding her*

You can put me down now.

*Pain smiles and says*

Do I have to?

*Ertia smiles and replies*

Yes Pain you do.

*Pain shrugs and says*

Alright suit yourself.

*Pain lets go of Ertia and watches her fall to her knees. She looks at him as he smiles and says*

Ertia takes a quick glance around her. Shepherd Book is tiring, and so is she, if the truth be known. They were down two and their options to pass up the other team were slim.

Twisting around, she grabs Pain around the knees, tripping him to the floor and straddling him. "All right, babe, you win this round. But y'all can expect a rematch!"

"Amen to that." Shepherd Book sighs, dropping his block. Kaylee takes advantage to throw one more hoop, ignoring his "Hey, you cheated!" look.

Ertia starts to get up, then stops, feeling the warmth of Pain's body underneath her, the intensity of his gaze on her body. "How long 'till we land?"

"'Bout forty-five minutes." Zoe calls down from where she was watching the game.

Turning her gaze back to Pain, Ertia whispers, "That's long enough. Care to play another kind of game?"

Oh alright.

*Pain got up put his pants on, reequipped his holstered pistol, put on his boots, and walked over to his weapons locker. Ertia watched Pain, smiling as she looked at his muscular and fit body. She got up and dressed herself, taking time to tie her hair into a ponytail. Pain opened his weapons locker and pulled out a metal case about two feet long and a foot tall. Pain sat the case on his desk, walked over to his footlocker, opened it, and took out a clean shirt. He put it on as Ertia looked at the case. She said to him as he put on his shirt, mentally taking pictures of his chest and abs*

What's in the case babe?

Sniper rifle.

Ertia climbs from the bunk, hoping that the contents of the case won't be necessary. She knows better than to ask Mal not to bring back-up. There was no way he would back down, and that's confirmed entirely when she enters the cargo bay to see Guy and Jayne comparing scopes on their own rifles.

She looks down at her bare feet and wishes again that she'd had a chance to pick up shoes on Three Hills. Her other sneaker had never turned up after the bomb incident. Ah well, they'd be taking the mule to the location, hopefully after the job she could do some shopping.

"Ready there?" Mal asks as he comes into the cargo bay. Behind him, Zoe and Wash carry the box of old Alliance coin and settle it onto the back of the ground mule.

Ertia checks her handheld one more time for the co-ordinates, making sure that the passwords are in order, while Mal talks to the others.

"Fly, you watch Kaylee's back. No unecessary dwiddle-daddle. Get the groceries, anything else we might need, and get back here. Wash, fuel up, flush the air-systems and be ready to go.

"Guy, Jayne, Pain? You three take the hover mule, drop Fly & Kaylee at the market and then get positions on rooftop. I want clear vantage of the entire scenario, dong ma? Keep your transmitters handy."

Then he turns to Ertia, "You feelin' confident?"

Confident? She'd just darn near had her mind f...oh... "Yes sir! Ready to take on the whole gorram moon."

"Saddle up, folks. Lets ride. Be back here and ready to fly in six hours." Zoe starts the mule and Ertia hops on back next to the strong box.

*At that Mal told Zoe to leave. Pain watched as the three of them left, then turned around to Guy, Jayne, Kaylee, and Fly and said*

Alright lets get this thing in the air. Guy you drive and remember we're to drop Kaylee and Fly off at the market.

The mule rolled through the crowded streets and out into the warehouse district. Finally, they circled a concrete block building and then came to the mouth of a dead-end ally.

"This is the place." Zoe announced, shutting off the engine but keeping the mule pointed out, towards the street.

Mal tapped his com, "Jayne? You there?"

"In position in three minutes." Jayne's voice was labored, it sounded like he was running up stairs. "Pain's headed up to your left. Guy's on the com tower at 7:00."

Mal shrugged, glanced to Zoe and then to Ertia, who stood beside him, eyeing the hard concrete street and thinking about her bare toes. He grabbed the handle of the case, and Zoe took the other side. "Lead the way, Vivi-Annie."

Once finished unfolding the stock, securing the zero glare scope, and screwing in the twenty inch long barrel with integrated silencer, Pain got into position and said to the Captain through the com*

I'm in place sir, tracking you in my scope.

*Mal clicked the transmitter twice, acknowledging Pain's answer. Mal did this with Guy as well as the three of them made their way to where they were to meet Ertia's contact. Pain watched from his hiding spot, the large bilboard casting a shadow over him, hiding him and his gun from view. Pain looked through the scope, using the adjustment knob to zoom in, and saw two men aproach Ertia, Mal, and Zoe.*

"Viviane." Ertia corrects Mal with a smile, "From an ancient Earth That Was story, about a boy who became a king and united his people, but in the end he was betrayed by his wife and son."

"Arthur." Zoe answered, "I always liked that story as a kid."

They reach the middle of the ally as two men, dressed in black and heavily armed, approach them.

At a signal, a warehouse door opens on the end and a black van rolls out.

One of the men turns and and slides open the door panels of the van, revealing a wide panel screen, which lights up, displaying a new sock-puppet.

This one wears a painted tunic of red and gold, with a dragon on it. Upon it's head is a crown made from what appears to be the plastic seal from a Blue-Sun soap bottle. "LADY VIVIAN!"

The computer modulated voice is too loud, and Ertia takes a step back as one of the men leaps forward to adjust the volume.

"Greetings, King Arthur of Camelot." Ertia bowed to the puppet, feeling more than a mite silly. "We've come to make trade."

"Yes, so I see." There's a long moment of silence, and Mal shifts impatiently, his duster falling open to display his gun. "First, you must answer the Three Questions."

Mal grunts, annoyed, but Ertia nods, "I am prepared to face the Quest."

"What is the ultimate weapon?"

Zoe starts to speak, but Ertia gestures to her, "Betrayal. Excalibur may take the lifes blood, but betrayal takes it's heart."

The Arthur puppet nods, "What is the Grail?"

"The cup of Christ!" Mal snarls, his patience running out.

"I ask the Lady."

Ertia closes her eyes, long ago conversations late into the night, with fingers flying across keys, creating entire worlds to their commands. "The Grail is that which dwells in us all. It is not a cup, nor the blood within it. It is the spirit of Christ that can only be found by searching."

The puppet nods approvingly. "One last question, Lady."

"I am ready."

"Who is the ultimate betrayer?"

She glances to Zoe; the answer on the tip of both of their tongues- for it is Guinevere who failed the love of the King, and lead to his death at the hands of Mordred.... but that's too easy. And they both know it.

The King Puppet nods slowly.

"The Ultimate Betrayer..." Ertia pauses, then knows what he wants, "Was it me, Deep? Is that what you believe?"

There is silence, followed by a quiet sigh. "Not any more."

"Then you thought it was? You believed it?"

"Kids," Mal's voice is moving past irritable to testy, "I hate to break up this little reunion, but we have business to do!"

The computer modulated voice rings out, "Trey, check the box. Mir, hand the Lady the coin."

The puppet bobs for a moment, and Ertia takes the bag, glances in and then hands it to Mal. Trey checks the box, and nods to the camera.

"Ask yourself, Lady Viviane, if it was not I who betrayed, nor was it you, then who was the betrayer?"

"What aren't you saying? Deep? Answer me!" She starts towards the screen, wishing she could take the stupid puppet and shake it. "There were only four of us! FOUR! You. Me. Diggs. Coop. They're dead! Who's left?"

"Our business is concluded." The screen goes black and Trey slams the van door shut.

Mal and Zoe are already backing down the alley-way, the pay in Mal's left hand while his right rests on his gun.

"DEEP? I know you can still hear me!" Ertia's frustration is palpable. "Tell me what you think!"

The van rolls back into it's garage, the doors closing and Ertia makes a move to follow it, to stop it, only to have one of the men step in front of her, gun pointed directly at her head.

Ertia was frightened, Mal and Zoe had drawn their weapons only to have the second man draw his and point it at them. The man named Trey who had the gun trained on Ertia, cocked his pistol and said*

Back off or I'll be ordered to shoot you.

*Ertia took a step back, her hands up, as she said in a shaking voice*

P...p..please d..d...don't shoot.

*Trey grinned a not too friendly grin, the gun was still aimed at Ertia's head. Trey was about to fire when his gun flew out of his hand. Trey had a suprised look on his face as he looked at his right hand. There was a bloody stump where his trigger finger should've been. Pain grinned as his bullet found his target. Ertia backed away just as Pain fired a bullet into Trey's head. Mir watched as Trey's body fell to the ground and was about to fire on the three when Guy fired a round into his chest. Mal clicked on the com and said*

*The driver of the van had watched the two men go down from the hidden exterior surveilence cameras. The man floored the gas and sent the van crashing through the garage door, swerving to the van to the right and pointing it towards the three people running. Mal heard the crash from behind them, looked back and saw the van crash through the garage door and slide to a stop. The van was pointed at the three of them, revving its motor. Mal sighed and said*

The windshield was riddled with bullet holes, some of the bullets had found their mark and the driver jerked the controls to the right, causing the van to turn sharply, scrape the left wall and flip onto its side. Mal, Zoe, and Ertia continued to run as the van slid towards them, turning on its side, its rear end coming towards them. The van came to a halt just as the three reached the mule.

Ertia swears as Pain's bullet rips through the man's gun hand. She hadn't stop to think how the whole scene would look from above.

The next seconds fly by fast, too fast. She can't even think as Zoe shoves her towards the mule, hears the van bearing down on them, and then the blistering of safety-glass as their marksmen find their targets.

She turns back to see Mal fling open the door van and press his transmitter, "Confirmed dead."

But even as he says it, his eyes are scanning the surroundings. He runs for the mule, giving a clear order. "Let's get out of here."

They pile onto the mule and Zoe pulls out, the soft rubber tires squealing against the concrete. Ertia, sitting behind Mal, leans her forehead between his shoulder blades, drawing from his strength, the adrenalin laden battle fury he's carrying.

She's tired again, tired with a soul-felt exhaustion. If 3DP had not thought her a betrayer before, he surely thought her one now.

Pain closed the case, got up, and headed down the stairwell to the street below. He was pretty sure someone heard the van crash an would send an emergency wave immediately if not within the next half hour.

good to see ya back crazy monkey boy.

five minuites earlier

*wolf walked up to serenity and drew his sword, the traps were set, the snipers were everywhere just in case, everyone would be out of the way and mal would be dead, wolf used the light of his blade to see the door control, he opened it up, and walked inside, he shut off his weapon, stood up on the catwalk stairs to the side of the cargo doors and leaned on the rail, he waited.*

Thursday, August 3, 2006 9:57 PM

*the bugs soon ate all the meat and scuttered off to theyre hideyholes*

*he heard the door close and decided to see what was going on. luckily, he found out to use the control panels and let himself in, it was dark inside, but a musky smell hung in the air.. someone was in here, but the smell was odd..*

must be this planet thought 62 thinking nothing of it and scurried off to tell the rest of the crew what he learnt about wolf

*wolf watched as 62 ran in jabbering, they hadent noticed him yet.*

62" wolfs nearby, hes on the planet."

*river walked in from the door under the catwalk.*

river" the canine is looking, hunting daddy, the red blade is thirsty, the men are waiting, the wolf has cornered the daddy."

mal" what you talkin about girl."

wolf" i can explain that."

*wolf grinned as twenty highly trained men with 2 desert eagles each walked into the cargo bay doors and pointed their guns at the crew, to keep them in check.*

*Pain and Jayne finally saw Guy come running over to them and the hover mule. Jayne looked at Guy and said*

'Bout time ya showed up. We was beginin' to think ya ran away.

*Guy stowed his rifle in the hover mule's cargo hold and replied*

Sorry got a little holed up in the foot traffic. I heard someone say there was a parade goin' on somewhere down the road leadin' to the marketplace.

*Pain sighed and said*

Great looks like we'll be needin' to find another way to get to Fly and Kaylee. Alright lets get in, Guy you fly.

*Guy nodded, hopped into the pilot's seat and began the start up sequence. Jayne took the passenger seat as Pain sat in the left rear seat. The three of them felt the hover mule lift up off the ground and then felt it launch forward as Guy made his way to the marketplace to pick up Fly and Kaylee. Guy yelled back over to Pain*

How're we supposed to fit Fly and Kaylee in this thing if they've bought supplies?

*Pain shouted back*

We'll find a way.

*As they made their way through a side street the three men felt the hover mule shudder and start to shake. Jayne shouted out*

Is this piece of luh suh supposed to be doin' that?

*Smoke started to pour out of the thrusters as the smell of fried electronics wafted past the cockpit. Pain swore and said*

Guy you better land this thing now. Looks like we've got a problem.

*Guy cursed at the hover mule and said*

Well looks like we'll be in for a bumpy landin', seein' as the controls ain't workin'.

*Pain muttered something in Chinese and thought to himself*

Why can't things just go smooth for once.

Somewhere in the dark shadows of an alley

*The henchman laughed to himself. He had tracked the hover mule for most of it journey and all that tracking paid off. He held the EMP blaster in one hand, opened his com in the other, pressed the send button and said to Wolf*

The three in the hover mule have been taken care of sir.

Thursday, August 3, 2006 11:32 PM

On ship:
River, Simon, Wash, Mal, Zoe, Sybil, Mac (wounded in Infirmary), JR, Ertia. And the ShipsCat, of course.

"Wolf? What the hell are you doing?" Ertia steps forward, but Zoe's calm arm reaches out to hold her back, the gunwoman's eyes trained on the men holding the guns, guaging their chances.

Their chances weren't good.

BIGWOLF18

Thursday, August 3, 2006 11:40 PM

wheres mal? coz he's the only one wolfs really after, the mercs and snipers and traps are just to keep the rest of you out of the way, so he can get a clear and fair fight.

wolf" im sorry ertia, you im just doing my job, niska wants mal dead, so i have to kill mal. where is mal anyway?"

SAMEERTIA

Thursday, August 3, 2006 11:44 PM

Uh standing right next to me talking to River, right where you write him being?
Which is how I know that Zoe and I returned to the ship, because we were on the mule with Mal.

Ertia stares at Wolf in disbelief. "If you think we're just gonna let you kill the Captain, you can go houtze du pi gu, chen zue d..."

Zoe's hand clamps over her mouth, silencing her tirade.

DRPAIN

Thursday, August 3, 2006 11:45 PM

What Ertia said.

*The hover mule bucked and skipped as it skidded across the pavement. The three men held on until the lifeless mule came to a stop at a vacant cul-de-sac. Guy fiddled with the switches and contols as Pain and Jayne got out. Jayne fiddled with his transmitter, swore and said*

Gorram transmitter ain't workin'.

*Pain scanned the scenery and replied*

Probably got shorted out. I guess that means we have to hoof it on foot to the marketplace and tell Fly and Kaylee. I sure hope Fly has a com with her.

*Jayne snorted, hawked a loogey and said*

Yeah she better. Don't wanna be left on this crapball of a planet.

*Pain sighed and said to Guy*

Guy you stay with the hover mule, me and Jayne will go get help.

*Guy replied as the two mercs started to walk away*

Um ok I guess.

*Guy sighed and said to himself*

Great now I'm alone.

Zoe steps deliberately forward, shielding both Ertia and Mal with her body. "Since when have you been Niska's lapdog, Wolf?"

"Not important." Wolf shifts uncomfortably, "All I want is Malcolm. The rest of you are free to go."

"Like E says," Zoe speaks quietly, and those who know her well know it's a presage to someone dying, "What makes you think we're going to let you do that?"

At a signal from Wolf, a single gunshot echoes and there's the rolling repeat as the bullet ricochet's inside the ship. "Becuase if you don't, we have to kill you all."

"Fine." Mal's voice is tense, cold, "You want me, you got me. They ain't a part of this."

"I beg to differ, sir." Zoe contradicts Mal.

"Stand down, Zoe." Mal faces her as the Wolf watches in bewilderment.

Ertia backs away from the confrontation, startled when her back hits cold metal. The cold metal of the weapons locker.

"SIR! I did not risk everything to get you out the last time just to hand that bastard your heart on a platter!" Zoe argues angrily.

"I'm ordering you to stand down!" Mal barks.

"Can we maybe discuss this whole not giving up thing?" Wash asks tentatively, "Because from where I'm standing, the odds are pretty much against us."

"Against us all. Like wind. Like hands. Pushing." River's voice is pitched, close to one of her fits.

Behind her, Ertia's hand fumbles at the digital lock of the weapons locker, a plan forming in the back of her mind.

I dunno about y'all, but I got no intention of letting anybody take my Captain. If Wolf wanted me trapped, he shoulda done it himself.

Eep sorry John! I edited my post to include you.

*Pain and Jayne made their way through the crowds watching the parade. Pain could feel the eyes of the pickpockets, thiefs, scam artists, and the other lowlifes, looking at him and Jayne as they walked past the various alleyways to the marketplace. Pain knew Paquin was known for its sunsets, its carnivals, it bright and pretty lights of its casinos. He also knew about its dark criminal side too. Pain said to Jayne as he briefly looked at one of the floats pass by*

We should be at the marketplace in about five minutes if'n we push are way through this crowd.

*Jayne grinned and said*

I like pushin' folk 'specially if'n they get in my way.

*The two burly mercs made their way through the crowds, various people yelling insults at them, as they pushed and shoved people out of their way. They finally made it to the marketplace and started to scan the crowds for Fly, Kaylee, and John.*

Ertia's fingers pause on the buttons. What was the combination again? Did the numbers on the lock-pad run right to left or up and down.

Oh, of course, 050511. Serenity Valley. Taking a guess, she presses the numbers in sequence as if the pad is layed left to right.

"SIR! I don't think this is the time to try to die!" Zoe was arguing strenuously, and Mal was toe to to with her.

"This ain't a gorram democracy, ZOE! I gave you an order! NOW stand down!"

The lock drops open and Ertia slowly, silently pries the locker open a fraction of an inch, her fingers searching the lower shelf. Finally, she finds what she seeks... Now, she just has to make sure she doesn't screw this up.

Her eyes flare across the room, to Wolf, who's watching in amazement as Zoe and Mal fight, to the half dozen heavily armed men with their guns trained on them, to Simon, who's trying to edge closer to River to shield her, to Sybil and JR, unarmed and silent by the infirmary door.

Closing her eyes, she presses the button on the concussion grenade and flips it towards the door of the cargo bay, hoping that the bodies of the six gunmen will shield the rest of them adequately from the blast...

Friday, August 4, 2006 6:19 AM

*Kaylee was the first to notice Pain. It wasn't that hard really, since Pain stood 6' 8" it was easy to pick him out of the crowd. Kaylee jumped up and down, waving her arms around as she yelled*

Pain! Over here Pain!

*Pain looked in the direction from which Kaylee's voice came from and elbowed Jayne to look as well. Pain waved at Kaylee as him and Jayne made their way over to the mechanic. Kaylee, Fly, and John were standing underneath a tree that was surrounded by benches. Fly looked at the two men and said*

Where's the hover mule and where's Guy?

*Jayne spoke up*

Well we kinda had a problem with the hover mule. Guy's watchin' over it though.

*Kaylee replied in a worried tone*

What kinda trouble?

*Pain replied*

The electrical kind. We were headin' down here to pick you folks up when the electronics got fried. Even are transmitters got fried. We wound up skiddin' to a stop about a half mile from here.

*Fly looked at the crates John was standing by and sighed. She looked at Pain and Jayne and said*

Well it looks like we're goin' to be walkin'. Jayne would you be a dear and help carry some of this stuff. You know you guys are lucky I brought a com unit with me.

*Jayne grunted and said as Fly handed Pain the portable com unit*

Yeah sure why not. Ain't like I got nothin' else to do.

*Jayne picked up two of the boxes as John picked up one and Fly picked up the last one. Pain made sure they got everything and led the way back to the hover mule and Guy. Pain clicked the com button, selected Serenity's frequency and said into it*

Uh Captain we've had some slight problems with the hover mule. We'll be a tad late arrivin' to Serenity.

sorry about the tight squeeze ertia

SAMEERTIA

Friday, August 4, 2006 3:20 PM

:) NO problem. I'm in the weapons locker...

Ertia twists in the tight space, grabbing the spare ballistics vest and wedging it between her and the vented outer wall.

Unable to bend down, she dug with her bare toes, praying that Jayne hadn't used them all or taken them with him.
A Grizwald...that tiny concealable grenade, just big enough for one. This is the mini-griz, designed to disable a single soldier, or even a single body part. Mal hadn't wanted them onboard when Jayne bought them. He'd said they weren't in the business of leaving maimed and wounded in a bloody trail behind them.

Since that day, Jayne had used them numerous times to open strongboxes, break doors, and on one occassion, cause havoc at a cocktail party. That had been a fun day! She smirks at the memory.

Praying no one is on that side of the locker, she wedges it into the vent, as close to the doorjam as she can manage.

If she's wrong... if she miscalculated... It doesn't bear thinking about. So what?! If she miscalculated, it will all be over very very quickly! No time to worry!

She shoves all of the spare ammo to the back, tossing a flak blanket over it, and then grabs the AK off the rack, slamming a full clip home. As an afterthought, she pulls on the orange ear-guards, then she curles herself as far into the ballistics jacket as possible, the rifle protected between her knees.

Reaching back, she presses the set-button on the mini-griz, curls her entire body into the jacket and ducks her head...

Everyone on deck is thrown backwards as the weapons locker door comes flying open, hitting wolf in the back and sending him crashing to the floor.

"This is between you and me. Leave my crew out of this..."

"Oh how cliche" said Wolf

"I know" said Mal, raising a flare gun from behind his back. Mal pulled the trigger and Wolf's chest exploded in a mass of hot fiery red. Pushing his smoldering body to the floor...

Pulling out what seemed to be a small silver tube with a blue light on the end Choo raised it over Wolfs forehead and pressed a button. A blue glow and a small veering noise made Wolfs eyes to stop flickering and enter a deep sleep.

"JR, you better wake the doc, Captain Reynolds doesn't look so good."

"understament...of the year..." muttered Mal

"I've seen worse." said Choo. "Much worse. Now hold still until we can get you to the Infirmary."
