Spartan watched as Junko ran off to the market, then he looked to Eve with a smile, Eve watched as Junko left then looked to Spartan
"so what's the plan? I don't think sneaking out of here is going to be an option with Magnus..." Eve said as she looked down to Magnus and placed her hand on his head, as she said this Spartan looked up to see some small cargo ships fly overhead before some wired alien creatures flew overhead with strange being using them as transportation
.
"who said anything about sneaking?" Spartan said with a slight grin as he activated his jets and flew up to Magnus's head, grabbing hold of a horn, Eve shuffled and moved back slightly as Spartan pulled himself over Magnus's neck before sitting down in front of Eve, he looked back to her with a smile
"we're going to hide in plain sight" he said with a grin, he then looked down to Magnus
"Magnus, bring us to the dry dock, we're going to give our thanks to the guys who brought us here" Spartan said with a smile, at this Magnus growled in agreement as he got to his feet, his heavy metal footsteps echoing down the alley way as he opened his wings, with one powerful flap he was up in the air. Eve hung onto Spartan while they fly over the roof tops, with a spin Magnus leveled out a few stories over the buildings and began flying towards the dry dock. citizens had taken notice of the large metal beast taking flight but showed no concern since they've seen much weirder things happening on the orbital nation.
.
Kore-Drax watched from the shadows as the four interacted, one left down another alleyway, then the other three took to the air, he had to admit the sight was new to him, but far from the strange creatures he's seen, when all was clear, he hurried into the back of the shop, he quickly got to searching the corpses, as he finished looting the last body he narrowed his eye's as he stood up
"it's not here..." he said as he left the shop
"that was all of the pirates... which mean that one of the captive must have it... but which one in the question..." Kore-Drax asked himself as he looked down the alleyway that led to the market
"whoever took it must know it was for the pirate ship... which means that they'll be heading towards it sooner or later... I might as well head back..." Kore-Drax said as he left through the alleyway, entering the market and making his way towards the dry dock
.
with another powerful flap of his wings, Magnus flew past a few small cargo ships that were a little bigger then he was, within minutes the dry dock was in sight, Magnus looked for the pirate ship that brought them here and sure enough he spotted within seconds
"bring us down" Spartan said with a grin, and without hesitation Magnus let out a roar as he dived towards the ship, at the last second he pulled up and landed with a loud thud that shook the ground, with yellow glowing eye's Magnus scanned the area for pirates, but there were none, well except for the dead one by the ramp for crew members to enter the ship
"well, I guess some of the captives must have beat us here..." Spartan said with a mildly concerned look as he hopped off Magnus's neck and landed with a thud before looking around, he spotted a large door a few meters away from the ramp, it was the door used to transport large creatures to and from the ship, Magnus let out a huff knowing he'd have to go in the cargo bay
.
"don't be grumpy Magnus, I'll be with you this time to keep you company" Eve said with a smile as she shuffled forward to take her spot back before she looked down to the dead pirate below
"so... what if the other captives don't exactly want to share the ship?..." Eve asked Spartan with a slightly worried look
.
"don't worry, I'm sure we'll come to an agreement of some sort" Spartan sad as he began walking up the ramp, he looked back to Eve with a smile
"you two head into the cargo bay and wait there, I'll check up on you when I figure out what our situation is" he said with a reassuring smile, Magnus nodded to Spartan and Eve smiled lightly in agreement, with that Spartan headed up the ramp and into the ship, the first thing he seen was a few dead bodies scattered about, some riddled with holes, others slashed to pieces
"well, whoever got here first got back at the pirates tenfold for what they did..." he said as he instinctively began to head towards the bridge of the ship
.
as Magnus approached the large doors, they began to open up, Magnus growled as he took a few steps back, Eve kept her eye's glued on them as they opened, when the door fully opened, a large ramp extended towards the dock and clamped down
"well, lets go..." Eve said as she stared into the dark cargo bay, Magnus grumbled before he made his way up the ramp, his heavy metal footfalls ringing out with every step as he entered the cargo bay, the doors then slowly began to close, Magnus brought his tail to his side as the doors shut, for a second or two they were shrouded in darkness, besides the glow that emitted from both Eve and Magnus's eye's, then a beam of yellow light shined from Magnus's eye's, acting as flashlights a he looked around
"sure is dark in here..." Eve said as she tightened her grip on Magnus's horns as he further entered the cargo bay, the sound of a large metal cage rattling filled the air, it made a chill run up Eve's Spine as she looked around in the darkness, as Magnus turned his eye's to where the sound came from, Eve's eye's widened in fear, before them was a large cage, large enough to hold a creature that was slightly bigger then Magnus, but the only thing wrong with this cage was that it was empty, and there was a large hole in the side of it, Magnus narrowed his eye's slightly as he backed up
"Magnus... I don't think we're the only things in here..." Eve whispered to him as she held her breath, Magnus slowly backed away from the cage as quietly as possibly why looking around, a silent hissing sound filled the air, followed by a deep beastly growl that sounded like it was some distance away from them
"where's a light switch when you need one?..." Eve whispered to herself as she kept her eye's glued to where Magnus was looking in a attempt to spot what the sound was coming from

"The sooner we get off of this station bet-" Kori's speech was abruptly cut off when a female hopped over him, the esteemed bounty hunter growled in annoyance. What did she care that they were talking, and who was she to be giving anyone orders? "Excuse...?" He was about to continue his words when Marcus' hand caused him to look over. "Relax brother, we can kill her later..." The black hair twin spoke, a devilish smirk on his face. "R-right..." Kori spoke, regaining himself a bit. The three continued to move on foot, moving through alleys and eventually the open street, his eyes locking onto a vehicle, surely this would allow them to cover more ground and the next. Luckily there were two of them. Kori commandeered the first speeder, racing down the street, the hangar bay wasn't too far away. Marcus had Carlotta hold onto him while he sped off after his brother, eventually racing to the hangar bay. "Looks like someone was already here..."Marcus commented, looking at the strewn bodies all around, Kori hopped off of the speeder bike and began walking into the bay, Marcus and Carlotta following. "So this must be the-what the?" He said in reaction to the the twin key slots, he had one. "Fuck...someone has another key.." Kori and Marcus spoke in unison.

Suddenly Junko appeared behind of both Kori and Marcus," Oh no, I believed you both had the two keys, we'll have to find them an-," out of nowhere Junko stopped in mid sentence and spaced out for a moment," Forget about what I said before, the second key is on it's way at this very moment, we don't need to be troubled by it." Junko tried to reassure the twins.

Out of the blue, another woman arrived on the ship, she looked like an engineer, she walked past the dead bodies of the slavers, curious of who killed them, when she walked into the bridge and approached the trio that were discussing the keys to the ship the woman silently listened to the twins speak in unison and gotten bored by how they acted with one another," Geez, you guys really don't know how to start up a ship without the keys ? Haven't any of you stolen a car or watched a movie about stealing space ships ? " she asked.

She walked past Junko and to the two twins, " If just not having keys is gonna stop you then you guys aren't gonna get off the planet or even far like that." The woman told them both, she sat down on the controls next to the key card holders," By the way, my name's Alex." She told them.

Kore-Drax walked towards the dry-dock, he had arrived just in time to see something entering the pirate ship, he narrowed his eye's as he walked up to the docking ramp, he stopped and looked behind him for a few seconds before going up the ramp to enter the ship, he was going to head for the bridge.
.
Spartan had scanned the pirate ship when he had arrived, he knew where the bridge was, he was originally heading towards it but changed his mind after seeing the dead bodies on the ground, most riddled with bullet holes, others slashed apart by bladed weapons. The pirate's armory was just a few hundred feet away from Spartans current location, he crept along the metal wall of the corridor being sure not to make a sound as his shoes lightly stepped onto the metal floor. As he neared a corner he peeked around it, his eye's narrowing slightly, in the middle of the next hallway was some sort of machine, it was covered in painted on markings that seemed to match the symbols around the pirate ship.
It appeared to be guarding a door, above the door were highlighted symbols that Spartan assumed to be something related to armory, the machine looked little more then a box with two red lights at the front, it was two feet tall and two feet wide, it was a dark steel color, the symbols painted on it were a dark blue. It was just parked in front of the door in the hallway staring forward. Thinking it wasn't that much of a threat Spartan came out from behind the corner before walking down the hall, as he approached the box-like machine turned and looked in Spartans direction which made him stop on point.
The machine made a low static grumbling sound before an electrical humming began to rumble inside it, Spartan took a step back as the box's panels started to open up and transform. Small sharp metal plates started to come from the box and formed into limbs, two digigrade legs and two arms with three claw like fingers on the end of each arm, and then a head with multiple glowing red lights coming from it, it was over at least 10ft tall with a bulky frame, and it was glaring directly at Spartan.

The machine let out a mechanical roar before it sprinted towards Spartan, it's razor sharp claws aiming to slash at him, Spartan grit his teeth as he began to evade the machines attack, as it made a downward slash with it's right hand Spartan jumped to the left as it's claws came down, barely catching his shirt before the claws sunk into the metal floor with a sharp piercing sound.
The machine droned out a growl as it glared at Spartan, while it's hand was stuck Spartan quickly curled his left hand into a fist before he let loose a powerful punch into the machine's right side. The force from the impact wrenched the machine's hand from the floor and sent it into the wall with a loud metal clang before it slid to the ground with a thud. Spartan took a few steps back before looking to his left hand, his knuckles were slightly scratched up from the machine's sharp metal plates when he punched it, the scratches quickly healed in time for Spartan to watch the machine get back to it's feet. It glared at him, Spartan narrowed his eye's as he took a defensive stance when the machine rushed him with a roar, Spartan jumped back evading the machine's attack then lunged forward sending his right knee into the machine's head.
A metal clang rang out as the machine was sent barrelling down the hall from the impact, as the machine came to a stop it righted itself, there was a visible dent in it's head from the blow, but the dented metal plates were swapped out for new ones underneath the first layer. Spartan raised a brow to this before the machine began to charge at him again, Spartan grit his teeth before he closed his right hand into a fist, light blue energy began to envelop his hand and sparked with blue electricity as the machine closed in. Time seemed to slow down as the machine jumped towards Spartan from three meters away to close the gap, faster then the blink of an eye Spartan thrust his right hand forward and fired a cyan beam of energy from it.
The beam impacted the machine then enveloped the machine in a large explosion of energy that shook the ship slightly, the hall was filled with smoke from the blast, Spartan stood still, his right hand held out towards where the machine was, he didn't move until the smoke faded. The machine had it's limbs severed except for it's left arm, the red glow in its head was gone, Spartan grinned slightly as he lowered his arm, he then stepped over the machine and continued to the armory. When he entered the room the door closed behind him, shortly after, the machine's head in the hallway began to glow with red again, slowly it's limbs pulled themselves back together as the sharp metal plates began to shift and interlock with each other, the broken and bent plates were sent to the core in the center of the machines chest which was repairing the damage done to the plates while spare plates were shifted to where the damage was dealt making it seem like no damage was done.
Spartan looked around the armory, there was many weapons in sight, but none were what he was looking for, after digging through containers that were filled with random junk that was stolen from captives, he found what he had come here for, his Slip-Space Container, he happily grabbed it and attached it to his right thigh with it's magnetic clamp after he checked if everything was still inside it. Spartan made to leave the armory and head to the bridge, when he stepped out the door he eye's were drawn to his left when he seen movement, he stood still for a few seconds while staring down the hall, when nothing showed up he stepped into the hallway and turned to his right to head for the bridge. When the door to the armory closed a robotic hiss echoed into the hallway, Spartan turned around to see the machine from before standing at the end of the hall glaring at him, it droned out a roar before it charged towards Spartan again, this time Spartan didn't so much as flinch as it closed in.
With one quick movement Spartan held his hands as it he was holding some kind of large weapon, then a light shined from his slip-space container before Spartan's rocket launcher appeared in his hands ready to fire. The machine appeared to notice the threat but had no time to react as Spartan pulled the trigger with a grin, a fraction of a second had passed before a heat seeking rocket propelled explosive was fired from the launcher at the machine, as the machine came to a stop to try to evade the oncoming danger but it was too late. The rocket hit and detonated, the explosion plumed into a fireball that scorched the surface of the hallway, the blast from the explosion caused Spartan to take a step back, he scanned through the smoke that came from the explosion, and the machine was no more.
On the floor was what looked like a shattered core of some sort surrounded by melted and broken metal plates, with that Spartan let go of his rocket launcher before it was called back to the slip-space container, then made his way to the bridge
.
In the cargo bay Magnus and Eve were frozen still, they listened to every noise and looked for every movement, there was something in the cargo bay with them, something big. Eve clung to Magnus's neck, as the light cast from Magnus's eye's passed over a box Eve locked her eye's to it
"wait, look back there" Eve whispered to Magnus, the yellow beam of light looked back to the box that they had passed, upon closer examination it looked like some kind of flare kit, just on it's side against an empty cage.
"it looks like a flare kit, maybe it can help us find a light switch" Eve whispered as she got up from Magnus's neck
"keep your eye's on it, I'll sneak over to it and get them" with that Eve dropped down from Magnus and landed carefully making barely any sound, she then proceeded to silently move to the box.
Along the way she heard something moving near her, soft foot falls about six to seven meters away from her to her right, she froze as she heard a hissing sound that echoed through the cargo bay. Magnus grit his metal teeth, he didn't want to take his eye's off Eve in case something tried to attack her, he had to be ready at defend her at a moments notice. Eve didn't want to wait any longer then she had to, she nervously made her way to the flare kit and grabbed it, she turned to go back to Magnus but stopped when she heard a low growl the sounded like it was right next to her.
Resisting her urge to scream and run, and fly, she quietly open the flair kit to find six cylinder shaped metal rods about a foot long, she grabbed one and placed the box down in a quiet but rushed manner. She fumbled with the flare in her hands before she managed to turn the top part of it which made the top part glow red which faintly light up the area around her, Eve's eye's widened in fear as her heart sank, she dropped the flare and it landed with a clank. Just to her left stood a bipedal beast with skin as dark as night, with a mouth full of teeth, it looked just as big as Magnus and every bit as intimidating, if not more so.


It let out a hiss with a beast like growl as the red light from the flare lit up it's features, Eve took a step back and tried to run but her body wouldn't move, she was frozen in fear, the beast took a step towards Eve, it's foot landing on the flare, suffocating the cargo bay in darkness again. In a panic Eve activated her jets and flew into the air to get away, the beast let out a monstrous roar and lunged at her with it's teeth, just as they were about to clamp down on Eve's legs the beast was pulled to the floor with a loud thud. The beast raised it's head and looked to it's attacker with a roar, Eve looked down below her to the beast illuminated by two beams of yellow light.
She knew Magnus had just saved her from being bitten, she didn't waste any time as she had noticed something on the wall of the cargo bay when the light from Magnus's eye's passed over it, it looked like a switch, Eve flew down to where it was and began looking, with the help from the faint pink glow from her eye's she found it and flipped it up. The cargo bay became as bright as day when the lights on the ceiling lit up, upon closer inspection the beast had a large tail with a spear like end to it, it had a hard bone like shield on it's head, four bone like spines jutting out from it's back and two powerful legs with sharp claws at the end of it's toes, and two small arms which Eve couldn't help but grin at slightly, but the beast was still terrifying to her. As the beast got to it's feet it turned to Magnus and roared at him, the roar echoed through the ship and sent shivers down Eve's spine.
It sounded like something scratching up against metal mixed with an elephant trumpeting in a deep tone that was slowed down, Magnus let out a droned growl before he reared his head back then thrust it forward letting out his own roar, which sounded like a robotic grizzly bear roaring at the top of it's cybernetic lungs. Eve flew to one of the tall empty cages and landed on it to watch what would happen. Magnus didn't back down, his metal claws digging into the floor with each step as he and the beast circled each other, with a growl the beast charged at Magnus, it's heavy footsteps shaking the cargo bay with each step, as it closed in Magnus narrowed his eye's, then he sent the full force of his powerful metal tail slamming into the beast's head which knocked it into a cage, bending the steal bars with ease from the force. Magnus backed away with a static hiss as he repositioned himself, his metal footfalls echoing in the cargo bay as he did so, the beast growled with a hiss as it wrenched itself free from the dented cage, it looked to Magnus with a growl as it began to circle him.
Magnus narrowed his eye's as he turned to face the beast, on instinct both of them charged toward each other, the cargo bay shook with each step they both took as they closed in on each other. Magnus reeled his head back to lunge at the beast's neck, but as he did so the beast lowered it's head and brought it upwards and bashed Magnus's head with it's bone like shield with a roar. Magnus was knocked back a few steps, slightly stunned from the blow, by the time he got back to the fight the beast had bit down on Magnus's neck and pushed him to the floor with a crash, then it place it's left foot on Magnus's shoulder to hold him still.
Eve watched in fear of her cybernetic dragon as he was pinned down, the beast let out a snarl as it thrashed it's head back and forth to try and snap Magnus's neck, Magnus screeched in protest as his right paw grabbed hold of the beast's left leg. With one swift movement Magnus pushed the beast's leg off him which made the beast lose it's grip on his neck and step back. As Magnus got to his feet he turned around and slammed his metal tail into the beast, knocking it to the floor with a crash, now it was Magnus's turn, Magnus quickly placed his right paw on the beast's head, then his left paw on it's right shoulder, effectively pinning it to the ground while it kicked it's legs to get free.
Magnus reeled his head back as an orange glow filled his chest, the glow went up through his neck, then he opened his maw, Magnus let out a fierce roar as a torrent of white hot plasma erupted from his maw. The plasma blasted over the beast's skin, it shrieked in pain as the plasma burned right through it's neck and onto the floor, when Magnus's plasma breath stopped, he backed away from the beast. It's legs twitched slightly, it's head was completely severed from it's body and where they were separated was cauterized from the plasma so no blood was spilt.
Magnus felt pride well up in him and couldn't resist, he inhaled deeply then raised his head as he let out a roar of victory over the beast, Eve let out a sigh of relief and jumped down from the cage she was on with a smile. Magnus looked down to her with what she could only make out was a grin
"you did it Magnus, your the best!" she said with a cheer as she jump up and hugged his left arm, Magnus let out a low purring sound when Eve hugged him, when she got down she looked to the dead beast
"so.. what are we going to do with it?" she asked Magnus as she looked up to him. Magnus then looked to the cargo bay door then to the body, Eve nodded in understanding and flew to the door, pushing the button to open it. As the cargo bay doors opened up, the first thing to go was the beast's head, then it's body was shoved out, both fell to the docking ramp below with a thud.
With that done, Eve closed the cargo bay doors and the two went too the center of the room, Magnus lied down and Eve sat down and leaned against his side
"I guess we just have to wait for Spartan now... I hope he'll have better luck they we did..." she said as she closed her eye's, Magnus let out a low grumble before resting his head on the metal floor to rest
.
Spartan had heard the roars, and felt the floor trembling from the fight below, he knew it had to be Magnus, he hope both Eve and Magnus were alright, he'd make sure to find them after he secured the bridge. As Spartan approached the door that led to the bridge he heard voices, they sounded familiar, the other captives perhaps, as this passed through Spartans mind he made the decision to see what would happen. As he entered the room, he recognized Junko right away, the other two looked familiar, looking back in his memories he had seen the two back at the slave shop, logic made Spartan think they had come here the same reason had had, to get off this world.
But the fourth person in the bridge was different, he didn't remember seeing her before so he kept his distance
"well, looks like we came to the same place we got on this planet to get off it" Spartan said with a slight smile
"what a coincidence" he finished.
.
"what a coincidence indeed" another voice said as Kore-Drax entered the bridge from where Spartan had entered while holding his D.M.M.G in his upper hands
"what would make it more of a coincidence, would be if one of you happened to have the other key to this ship, and if you were to hand it over to me peacefully, so I don't have to pick it off your dead bodies..." Kore-Drax said venomously as he narrowed his eye's towards everyone in the room as he aimed his D.M.M.G generally in everyone's direction, in his two lower hands he held his D.M.H.C's at the ready.

Kori and Marcus turned on their heels as they heard a voice, speaking to them and the others around in a manner prompting violence. "shit..." Marcus spat, realizing he had no weapons to combat this stranger, he could try to fight but he didn't like the idea of the outcome, being gunned down easily was less comforting. "Fine, fine, here....take it..." Marcus sighed, pulling the key from his brother.

Kori glanced at Marcus with glare. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" The assassin snapped at his sibling, noticeably angry with him. He was holding his desire to punch his brother out on the spot in front of these people.

Kore-Drax narrowed his eye's in amusement when one of the two twins snapped at the other, grinning under his helmet he holstered his lower right hands weapon and held his lower right hand out towards them
"good... now... bring it here..." he demanded as he looked to the one with the key, then he looked to the others
"and if anyone tries something I'll gun you all down without hesitation..." he threatened in a dangerous tone, to emphasize his point he slightly raised his D.M.M.G in everyone's general direction while aiming the D.M.H.C at the Key holder
.
Spartan narrowed his eye's at Kore-Drax, he remembered helping him escape from the slave shop, and now he was here, and he was threatening them, Spartan thought he'd be able to handle this if push came to shove, but he wanted to try and deal with this without a fight, so he spoke up
"is this necessary?" he asked, Kore-Drax looked to Spartan with narrowed eye's
.
"hm?" Kore-Drax tilted his head slightly in question to Spartan
.
"we've all been abducted and in chains together, and I'm sure we all just want to get off this rock and go back to our homes, we can work together, no one has to get hurt!" Spartan exclaimed in a serous tone with grit teeth, Kore-Drax simply chuckled at him, Spartan widened his eye's slightly, confused as to why Kore-Drax was laughing
.
"my, that sounds like quite the proposal, but if there's one thing I've learned is that you can't trust anyone, regardless if you've known them for a long time, even if they've helped you before" Kore-Drax said, remembering Spartan help him escape
"for all I know your trying to trick me, and for all you know I could gun you down even if he gives me the key" he said as he looked to Marcus
.
"or I'm being honest with you" Spartan said calmly, Kore-Drax just grinned under his helmet
.
"that is a possibility, but I'd rather not risk it and end up full of holes" he said as he looked to Spartan before looking back to Marcus, Spartan grit his teeth, he didn't know how to get through to the four armed alien, as he tried to think of something else Kore-Drax spoke
"now if you don't mind... the key... now..." Kore-Drax demanded once again

Alex stayed still where she was, she faced the four armed alien holding them all at gun point, she put a hand on her forehead," Well this is the highlight of my day, being held at gun point by a four armed douche from outer space." She sighed and took her hand off her head." Even if you do start shooting us, one or two of us might still stop you from killing the rest of us, I doubt that you'll be able to shoot us all, and I sure as hell know that if you have to reload you won't be able to kill the rest of us." Alex told the alien

" Actually how do we know your not one of those slaver aliens or one of their bosses ? " Alex asked. Suddenly Junko chimed in to confirm that Kore-Drax was imprisoned along with them," He was enslaved along with us, I was with him and Spartan when Spartan helped us escaped. Please just put the weapon down and we all can leave together, there is no reason for us to actually turn on you, and I doubt that any one of us are really armed," Junko spoke to him.

Alex agreed with the woman in the maid uniform." Yeah just put the damned thing down, before you hurt yourself or someone else, you came in here pointing a gun at us, we just want out of here." Alex added, She suddenly pulled out her hand cannon and aimed it at Kore-Drax, she pulled back on the hammer making a click sound," Sorry four arms, but I felt that I needed to bring out my gun to this bullshit stand off with your heavy weapon and small pea shooter." Alex told the alien.

Marcus' eyes narrowed a bit, it seemed his plan was foiled from the start, Drax want the key brought to him, he began to think strategically, finding a way to work with this. If he walked toward Drax to hand him the key, his attention could be grabbed for just a moment, that would be all they had to spare. Someone, anyone needed to capitalize on the split second and he knew for a fact that none of them could do it, they couldn't circle around so easily, not even his brother possessing the skills he did. He was ready to walk forward but stopped once the engineer female drew a weapon, this was not going to make his plan easier. "Are you crazy? Do you think?" He snapped at her, seething a bit.

Kori watched the female carefully, he wasn't enjoying where his safety was, mortality always worked like that, just at this moment he had his life in the wrong person's hands. "Wait brother, I want to see this..." The assassin spoke up, knowing this female's attempt would be a fruitless endeavor, she could be gunned down, he doubted anyone could move that fast. "If you truly wanted the key, you'd have killed us all right here, I know better than to believe your threats. We're all unarmed, if you wanted this key so badly, we'd all be dead.." He spoke confidently, Kori knew in fact, there was something off about the alien.

Kore-Drax lowered his head slightly and shook it left and right in a disappointed manner to Alex as he aimed his D.M.M.G in Alex's direction
"this could have been So much simpler..., after you gave me the key, I was planning on letting you live, and I might have even let you stay on this rust bucket, but you-" he said as he raised his head so his eye's were locked on Alex
"-just had to try something, and now... your all going to pay for her insolence..." he said venomously as his lower right hand grabbed his D.M.H.C again and aimed it in everyone's direction before Kori spoke, he then looked to Kori with narrowed eye's as he trained a D.M.H.C on him
"your right, it would take a lot less time to just kill you all and take the key for myself... in fact, the only reason your all still alive right now is because I have an obligation to repay him for freeing me" Kore-Drax said as he motioned to Spartan
"and I don't like being in debt, so I didn't kill you all the second I got here, and I still haven't killed you, and I even decided that I'd let you all live to repay him..." Kore-Drax said as he narrowed his four eye's
"but your female friend went and pushed your luck..." he said as he looked back to Alex

" Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, point that gun at me, these goombas don't deserve a big gun pointed at them, point both of them at me, I'm the one with the gun, not them, if anyone will be hurt it will be me, not them, I'm not letting any of them die for me." Alex sounded noble talking to Kore-Drax," To make this little stare down a little friendly let's share names just in case you do kill me. My name's Alex, what's yours ? " She asked the for armed alien.

Junk put her hands on her head," Ahh why do we have to make this situation much worse ? We don't need more violence ! Haven't We Been through enough today ?! Haven't we ?!" Junko yelled at the two, Alex groaned and twirled the gun around a single finger saying," Shit I've killed more than my share of aliens, demons and angels all in that order, I can give this guy a pass as long as he doesn't try to kill us in our sleep." Alex sighed and holstered her gun in her tool belt.

Once Rachel was done with her little meal she stood and dusted off her clothing, wiping blood from her lips and chin as she started to wonder where they should go from here, where the control room and everything was. Though while she was pondering her keen sense of hearing could pick up yelling and screaming, and violence coming from not to far away, down the hall really and to the left a ways. Tilting her head in curiosity the hybrid picked up her scythe and placing it across her shoulders she started to stroll forwards, towards all the yelling, though she couldn't quite make out what they were yelling about yet.
It only took her about a minute to reach the room with everyone in it, by which time she could make out someone begging for no more violence, and another speaking about killing aliens....and angels...and demons "Well I do hope I'm not walking myself into trouble, Buuut I probably am" she sighed to herself quietly as she reached the door.
What Rachel saw didn't exactly surprise her, seeing the scene of what appeared to be an alien, holding a bunch of other people against their will. Rachel shifted her scythe and placed it back onto it's holster on her back between her odd wings, then tucking up her wings and leaning against the door frame while waiting to speak when everyone had stopped yelling and stuff.Once everyone had stopped for that short moment, the hybrid found her moment to speak up so that they could all hear her.
"Well I do hope I am not interrupting anything...but what exactly is going on here? I'm just rather curious is all, after that little show you all put on"
She asked them though her voices tone was rather bland as she spoke, not leaving her position against the door frame, her demon eyes were flicking between each person within the room, stopping to examine some longer than others, an interesting bunch of people they seemed to be.

Kore-Drax kept his D.M.M.G trained on Alex as she spoke, she was trying to protect the others, how noble, then she offered her name and expected him to return the favor, he would do no such thing at this moment. Kore-Drax narrowed his eye's at Alex before Junko yelled at them, he looked to her, his weapons still aimed in their direction, she was right about one thing, they have been though enough, being kidnapped and attempted to be sold was more than enough for him, frankly he wanted the day to be over, but first he had to secure this ship first. Then Alex spoke up again, he looked to her, his stance never faltering as he did so, he watched as she holstered her weapon, a wise move, he reconsidered her fate, he had killed almost every pirate on the ship, he was tired and he really didn't feel like wasting the ammo on them.

As he thought about it he heard another voice from behind, without hesitation he repositioned his stance, aiming one of the D.M.H.C's at the being leaning on the doorframe, still one D.M.H.C aimed at the group as well as his D.M.M.G. He listened to her as she spoke and looked down slightly in thought trying to think of what he was going to say, he slowly raise he and looked to the girl
"none of you're business..." he said sourly to the girl as he lightly glared at her, making sure to keep the others in his peripheral vision
"I suggest you leave unless you want to end up like the rest of the crew..." he warned her, in a way saying that he had killed all the pirates on bored the ship by himself
.
Spartan grit his teeth, he knew that if he tried something that someone could get hurt, and he couldn't allow that, he'd have to wait for an opportunity to reveal itself before he could act

The alien's threats seemed to do nothing at all, as the Hybrid continued with her bored gaze waiting for the alien to finish acting tough, it was cute really but he could never do anything like that to her. Well that is what she assumed being a little over confident as she was. She did find it cute though that this creature was trying to threaten her, he couldn't fly from what she could see so even if he did come after her, she had speed and flight on her side, plus her few demon\angel powers.
Rachel placed a hand to her mouth pretending to yawn as the alien continued to speak, almost hoping that this would provoke him into attack so that she could show off to him that he could hurt her, not like he did the pirates at least.
"Silly alien, I know it isn't any of my business, but I still want to know" Rachel replied with a smart ass attitude, a grin spreading over her dark lips "And besides, what you did to those weak fools? You could never do to me. Seriously do you think I carry this around for show?" She quested the alien as she pushed off the door frame and turned her body ever so slightly, bringing her large scythe into view for a moment, though his would show her demonic wing as it was her right wing, even though she tried to tuck it up as tightly as she could to her back.

Alex just sighed seeing the new person come aboard the ship and knew that them leaving would be next to the level of nil," Alright I've had enough of this bull shit ! Yo Four arms, if you want to leave this rock then let's fucking go, if not then get the hell off the ship and stop pointing guns at everyone, I'm tired of just standing around waiting for something outside to come in and kill us because you don't fucking trust us on a ship while your armed with guns." Alex took a breath take feeling worn out cause of the alien.

" Seriously whatever you are, your'e as worst than the slavers if you don't just say screw this nonsense and just start the ship. If you want this ship by yourself, just fucking say it, because I've had it up to here with your bullshit and I've just met your four armed ass." Alex put her hand up above her height before she continued. " I mean Fuck nuts man, even man'o steel over there probably wouldn't be this wound up and I can tell he's more dangerous." Alex said pointing to Spartan.

Kore-Drax narrowed his eye's slightly to the girl at the door as he listened to her, his grip on his weapons tightening in anger in response to her tone, though he made note of her weapon as the girl in the doorframe finished speaking. Kore-Drax was going to reply but didn't have the chance as Alex began to shout, he looked to her, irritation in his eye's as one of them twitched slightly. He began growing tense, resisting the urge to lunge at her as she continued to speak, just as she was about to stop Kore-Drax's patience reached it's limit and his anger got the best of him.

"ENOOOOOOUUUGH!!!!!" he exclaimed in a roar of anger as he pulled the trigger on his D.M.M.G, fire spit from the end of the guns barrel as he sprayed bullets from right to left in a sweeping motion with the gun aimed just over everyone's heads, not intending to hit anyone but to intimidate them into shutting up and listening to him. The bullets sped by everyone narrowly missing them, or so it would seem.
.
Almost on instinct Spartan had activated his armor, it covered his body almost faster than the blink on an eye, with his augmented reaction time the bullets to him appeared to be moving slow enough for him to see them clearly as they sped out the barrel of the gun. He watched their trajectory, his eye's widening as he seen a few bullets line up to hit Alex, and not just her, as the bullets continued to fire out of the barrel the others had bullets a few speeding for them as well, most of them would miss, but the key few were locked on vital area's. Spartan's heart raced as he burst into a blur, his augmented speed allowing him to outrun the bullets just before they got within three feet of Alex.

The projectiles slammed into his shields before falling to the floor harmlessly as he sprinted past her and toward Junko, then Marcus, Kori and Rachel, managing to block multiple bullets from reaching their targets, his shields glowed faintly from the gunfire before they recharged. Spartan was standing near Rachel after Kore-Drax released the trigger, Spartan's armored hands closed into fists as he sent a slight glare to Kore-Drax which wasn't noticed
.
As Kore-Drax released the trigger smoke raised from the barrel of the D.M.M.G, the clip still mostly full, a look of anger in his four glowing blue eye's as he glared at everyone, his eye's locking onto Marcus with the key
"The Key! Now!" he exclaimed as he trained his D.M.M.G on Marcus, his two D.M.H.C's being held at the ready if he needed to use them, not taking notice to the newly armored being standing next to Rachel and the missing boy that was near Alex before

Rachel watched as one of the captive people started try and speak up, though she was rather annoyed with the interruption of the so called demon hunter "Must one be so loud?" She questioned with a heavy sigh as the alien decided to show off his guns. The hybrid didn't even make an attempt to move when he started to fire those weapons, even though they were heading right towards her, she was going to but her demons eyes noticed one of the group making his move, he was fast but she could somewhat follow this strange being that had armor attached to his body.
"Seriously, you didn't need to come and save me, I don't even know who you are" She spoke quietly to the boy as he came to a stop in front of her "I certainly wouldn't have done the same for you" she huffed, her purple eyes gazing towards Spartan for a short amount of time before returning her focus to the alien.
"Yes because yelling and demanding certainly gets people what they always wanted" The hybrid called out to the alien, finding it entertaining to provoke him "It certainly makes you sound more intelligent than you already are" She finished with that smartass attitude from before, folding her arms again and leaning her shoulder back against the door wile observing what was going on.
Apparently those twins had a key, and the big alien wanted it, she couldn't figure out why however as turning on the spaceship wasn't the first thing that came to mind, yet she figured that it was important and that these people all came here the same way she and the voodoo guy did.

Spartan looked slightly towards Rachel through his golden visor the faintest of smiles on his lips as she spoke to him, he then looked to Kore-Drax, his smile fading as he walked towards the four armed being
.
Kore-Drax had decided to ignore the girl by the doorframe as he continued to glare at Marcus in wait for him to hand over the key, which was a fatal error on his behalf, before the sound of armored boots ringing in his ears got his attention a loud but dull sounding THWAK echoed into the room, Kore-Drax's body went rigid as his eye's widened, a few seconds passed before his arms went limp, his weapons dropping to the floor with a thud-like clank before he followed them to the cold metal surface, knocked unconscious
.
Spartan stood beside Kore-Drax's unconscious body, his right hand was closed in a fist in a position that showed that he punched Kore-Drax squarely in the back of his head, he put his arms to his sides before he knelt down to Kore-Drax's body and searched it, less then a second went by before he found the alien key in one of the compartments in Kore-Drax's armor, he stood and looked at the key in his right hand before looking to Marcus
"here" he said, his voice sounding a little deeper because of his helmet as he tossed the key to Marcus, thinking he'd be more than capable of being able to catch it
"I'm not going to fight you for it, we're all victims here, I trust that we can work together for the common goal of our freedom and to return to our homes" he said before he grabbed Kore-Drax and slung him over his shoulder before turning to leave the bridge
"I'm going to make sure our "friend" feels comfortable for the trip, if you need me, I'll be in the cargo bay" Spartan said as he moved to leave the room

Alex rolled her eyes and knew him being knocked out or killed was gonna happen," Well thanks, it saves me from wasting some energy and probably getting shot," Alex looked around for some duct tape but probably knew that none was gonna be around," Shit only if we had some duct tape or rope or some shiz we'd be able to tie his ass up and space him out the air lock." Alex said to Spartan," But let's not fret on what just happened, let's get this mofo up and moving." Alex said clapping her hands together.

Before Spartan stepped out the door he stopped to hear Alex, he grinned slightly behind his helmet before turning his head to her
"we may not have duct tape, but there are still some animal cages left in the cargo bay, they should do" he said as he left the bridge with Kore-Drax over his left shoulder as he made way for the cargo bay
.
Eve hummed a little tune as she rested on her back on Magnus's neck, her right leg hanging down over his neck as she idly swung it back and fourth while Magnus was resting on his stomach, his yellow glowing eye's wide open as he kept watch on the door entering the cargo hold in case any possibly threats tried to enter, shortly he heard the sound of armored footsteps, it caught Eve's ear as well, she got to her hands and knees as she looked at the door, to her relief Spartan entered the room, and that alien from the shop they escaped
"umm..."
.
"hey Eve, Magnus, how you two holding up?" he asked through his helmet with a smile as he walked towards one of the smaller cages
.
"just fine" Eve answered with a look of slight concern
"but why are you carrying him?" she asked as she pointed to the alien slung over Spartan's shoulder, he stopped and looked to her then to Kore-Drax
.
"oh, right... well there was a bit of a... commotion in the bridge and he was the cause of it... so I hope to prevent further commotion by keeping him down here until we get home, then I'll release him..." he said as he turned to the cage he approached, he looked at the locking mechanism for a few seconds, deciding to take the fast option to getting it open, with a quick slash of his laser blade the cage door swung open as the lock fell to the floor, he then entered the cage and placed Kore-Drax inside the center on it, when Spartan left the cage he closed the door then placed the cut lock where it was before, his L.A.R was summoned into his right hand and he aimed at the lock, with a few timed quick shots from the laser weapon the metal lock was super heated and melted slightly, welding the cage door shut, Spartan lightly smiled at his work as he let go of his weapon, before it hit the floor it disintegrated into light as it was recalled to his Slip-Space Container, he turned to face Eve and Magnus before his armored deactivated
"so anything happen with you two before I got here?" he asked as he walked up to them
.
"well, there was this large lizard alien thing that attacked us, but Magnus took care of it" she said with a smile as she looked to Magnus's head, he let out a low rumble as he rested on his stomach again
.
"well, sounds like you had more fun than I did" he said with a grin as Eve jumped down from Magnus
.
"so... now what?..." Eve asked with a slight frown
.
"now we wait, I gave someone the second key needed to fly the ship, hopefully we can trust them" he said placed his hands behind his head
.
"... and if we can't trust them?" she asked as she lightly held her hands together in front of herself, Spartan grinned when he went to respond
.
"well then well just get Magnus to deal with them" he said as he ruffled Eve's hair, she closed her eye's with a smile as he did so, slightly ducking her head
"and if Magnus can't do anything then I will" he said on a more serous note as he began walking towards the door that exited the cargo bay
"I'm heading back up to the bridge to see how everything's going, do you want to come with me or are you fine here?" he asked with a pleasant smile
.
Eve wanted to follow Spartan but she also didn't want to leave Magnus alone, she thought he had been alone long enough when they were abducted
"I think I'll stay here to keep Magnus company, maybe I'll join you later" she said with a smile, Spartan nodded then turned and left to head back to the bridge, Eve then returned to Magnus, she jumped up and landed gently on his back before resting on him and closing her eye's, Magnus moved his head slightly to see her, he let out a slight rumble before resting his head on the floor and closing his yellow glowing eye's as well

When the alien as taken down and dragged away, Rachel lifted herself off her resting place against the door frame, her arms still crossed as she turned her gaze away from bored and uninterested in everyone else. She watched for a while longer as the Robot guy carried off the alien, and how the demon hunter spoke to him before he went off, Her eyes followed until he was out of site.
"Well this is no longer interesting, time for me to head off" The hybrid spoke to no one in general as she turned and started to head off, not planning to leave the ship as it was her only ticket home, but just be be alone and to find her 'friend' that helped her get free. She didn't exactly expect anyone to care that she was even there, or if they even noticed that she had come in, so she decided that there was no point in hanging around.
