The Marauders

Raymond could do nothing at this time except glare at the enemy ships. The Marauders faced many enemies and had many near death experiences. He didn't want this to be their last one. He could feel his heartbeat in his ears, his head throbbed with pain, and his nerves were on edge. The sound of Addy informing him that the coordinates were put made him glance back down at the control console. Tahillie's voice also giving him the okay, Raymond slammed his fist onto the button. The whole ship rumbled, then roared into life. The rims of the windows started to glow white. The entire ship felt as if it was being pulled backwards like a slingshot, and just when the Mole Rat ships launched their gigantic cannons, the Monroe lurched forward, entering Warp Drive.

When in Warp Drive, the view looking out of the ship was an interesting one if you've never seen it. You move so fast through space, that the Doppler Effect kicks in. When you are looking in the direction of where the ship is moving towards, the area around it is the richest blue you would ever see, and if you look close enough you can see the high pitched waves moving incredibly fast, but hypnotic, like watching static on a television but it being void of sound. When looking at where the ship was, the area is a rich, mellow red, its waves slower and more of a steady throb of textures, like watching lavafall. If looking outside from the side of the ship, you see long, white streaks, like billions of strings surrounding the ship. Raymond enjoyed the views of Warp Drive, even after seeing it for so many years. Depending on his mood he would just stare at the view from the front, back or side of the ship, watching the chaos of logic and physics. It was funny how Chaos could be found in even the most orderly and constant things in the universe.

For the first time in three days he didn't feel paranoid. He leaned back in the Captain's chair, a faint smile on his face as he put his hands on his face, but wincing when his fingers touched the nasty bruise on his forehead... But it wasn't time to relax. Not yet. Raymond climbed out of the chair, making his way towards the hallway. "Doctor, what's the current situation on Shasoon?" Raymond asked through the comms system, but his tone wasn't one of authority. He wasn't demanding an answer, there was sincereness in it. A friend asking a friend.

He didn't dare go into the medical bay though while Rae was operating. He would only cause trouble, and he would absolutely have more injuries than just a busted head and almost bit off finger. His destination was the airlock where their new prisoner was. He had a lot of questions for the mysterious stranger. And Raymond Chase was NOT the man to threaten.

Raymond should have remembered a lot of things in life, but more specifically his team rosters. He should have remembered every detail about everyone's recruitment rosters when joining the Maruaders because he would have remembered that Tahillie was a Furtim. Furtims not only have scales and the ability to turn invisible, but also had very sharp teeth. And this certain Furtim had extremely sharp teeth and bit down on Raymond's finger.

Raymond pried his finger out of Tahillie's mouth, yelling very colorful words in numerous alien languages, shaking his hand violently. He was going to yell at the man, but he remembered just why he was waking his crew member up. "Long story short, their chief is dead, they're having a civil war in space, and now they joined forces to shoot the biggest guns at us. I need you to punch in those coordinates! NOW!" Raymond said, helping him up and then gently pushing him towards a console.

He jumped back to the Captain's seat, Tango counting down from fifteen was not the most comforting thing. But he trusted Tahillie in quickly punching the coordinates in. As soon as the man gave him the clear, Raymond would press the shit out of that yellow button! He was NOT going to lose to these uncoordinated aliens after three years of going through things a billion times worse! He wasn't going to kill the ones who actually volunteered to join this ship because they had faith in him. He wanted to see his sister again. There was too much at stake!!

Raymond was having a rather difficult time, although he was sure the rest of his crew mates were having a lot of stressful experiences. Rae and everyone with medical experience was helping heal Shasoon that has been injected with the deadliest poison known. Elyse and Addy were confronting the enemy and debating on whether or not to shoot him out of the airlock (Most of Raymond was tempted to not hear what he had to say and just shoot him back out into space. He has had some very bad experiences with stowaways. All of them thought they were big shit until they all met the same fate). But he couldn't do that, he would have to put faith in his crew members (which wasn't hard) and let them do their jobs. As for Raymond, he had to do his: and keep him and his ship safe!

"Incoming fire." Tango announced to Raymond, who was furiously working on the controls. There were many consoles around the main deck doing many things, but the master console had most functions on it. It was mainly used for the Captain and Tango. It had multiple screens, buttons, switches, and a throttle lever. At the sound of Tango, Raymond pulled back on the throttle, using his other hand to flip a couple switches, and then pressed the button. The ship spun rather quickly, making everyone on the main deck lean sideways due to the velocity, but the crew in the medic bay and near the airlock wouldn't notice.

Raymond would have to be checked for some sort of whiplash later, but he wasn't concerned now. "Firing main turrets." Raymond said, pressing a button, and the sound of distant gunfire aimed towards the enemy ships. One of the ships exploded in a cloud of red and white flames, but no one was cheering. "Captain, we didn't do that." Tango said.

"What? Did they friendly fire?"

"It appears so... I am also receiving radio chatter... It seems they are all accusing each other... The son of their leader is trying to take action, but the second highest in command is defying him. They are having a civil war within space."

"If they fire at each other, they pick themselves off, and we can get out of here with no issues. How much longer until hyperspace?" Ray asked, deactivating the firing commands and adding speed to the ship. "T minus five... four... three... two... We are greenlight for hyperdrive!"

Raymond looked at the base of the console to where a large yellow button was that was covered in glass. he flipped open the case. "Monroe we have a green light for hyper drive. We are jumping now while we have the chance. Brace for slip space!"

Raymond pressed the button, and.....!

Nothing. Nothing?

"Captain, there are no coordinates set for hyper drive." Tango said. "What? Where the hell is Tahillie?" Raymond yelled. "I would also look like to inform you that the Sekvali have launched up their primary weapons and are aiming right at us."

At that comment Raymond leapt out of his seat. "Forty seconds until their weapons fire."

Raymond was now in the search for one of his crew mates that he thought was here, but seemed to be MIA. He scanned the large room, trying to remember where Tahillie was before Ray jumped out into space... And he found him. The Marauder's hacker was sprawled on the floor, holding something. He didn't know how long he had been on the floor, but he wasn't sleeping on the job! They were all exhausted! and their lives depended on the Furtim's coordinates!

Raymond knelt down next to the unconscious male, tapping his scaly face hard, but not in an agressive way. "Junta! Wake up! The coordinates are down!" Raymond said, hearing Tango doing a countdown until the ships would attack.

I'm working on a post now, idk how great it'll be but it'll be something! I've been having some serious writer's block lately

@DeathXtheXTree

My friend really likes that series. I saw the first episode and I thought it was absolutely bonkers, and after I saw the lobster dude in underwear or whatever I felt like I needed to rethink my life. hahaha

But I loved the Dragon Ball series (I know, very cliche but it was really good haha), and I'm currently watching Fairy Tail, which I absolutely adore!

The Marauders

I am so out of my element here haha... There's only two anime series that I've been hooked on. But, you know... Anything Marvel related...... yyyyyeeeaaahhhh...... I'll show myself out.
