RPG A little help for the plot-impaired?

[Justin]

An announcement blared: "[i]All troops to their stations[/i]"

"Let's get this shuttle moving!" One of the escorts said to an engineer.

"This is so stupid." Lidan said.

Another annoucemnt came over: "[i]Stop where you are.[/i]" It was the voice of Gordon himself.

"Let's see what the windbag has to say now." Sethi remarked.

"[i]From this point forward, this ship and all aboard it are the United Republic of Bismin. To anyone who does not know: After we defeat the Fukows we are returning to take over our home world. We are rothers now more than ever. Fight the good fight, comrades.[/i]" He ended his announcement.

"Go, go, go!" The guard said as he waved for the shuttle to launch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Prepare my mount! I'm going with the first wave to attack the capital!" Gordon barked.

"[i]Yes, Generalissimus.[/i]" The man on the holocom replied.

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Lidan exchanged a glance of long suffering with Sethi and the two sat climbed into the shuttle huffily. One guard reached for Lidan's side and pushed her roughly into a chair...as soon as he did, she leapt up, slingblade flashing free from it's scabbard.[/i]

"Li! NO!"

[i]The blade stopped about half an inch away from the man's face, his rifle half out of it's case. Lidan locked eyes with him, her own blazing a bright honey gold.......then she sheathed her blade swiftly and sat down, arms crossed. The guard looked at her, his face livid, then turned and left.[/i]

"I'm sorry."

"I would've done the same."

"No, you would've killed him, my contro is still better."

"Only in some things."

"True."[/COLOR]

[color=purple]The shuttle had been traveling for an hour in a comfortable silence when Sethi abruptly turned to Lidan, "What are we going to wear..." she pulled at her new outfit, "this?"

"Yes, it's the only thing we have...we'll just have to fit in. I suppose since the two planets are located so close together, Bismin and Plinic that is, that their style of dress may be simliar. I hope I'm not wrong in that judgement."

Sethi frowned, "Me too."

The shuttle was on autopilot, plotting their course toward Plinic. It was a pity it was prgrammed so that they couldn't override the navagation commands.

"...and let's hope that our dear brother can destroy this 'heavily armed security transport' like he says he will."

"If not," Sethi busied herself playing with strands of hair that were starting to get shaggy, "then we'll just have to get rid of them ourselves."

Lidan shrugged, "I suppose. At least we'd get in on some of the action that way."

"Speaking of 'action'..." Sethi turned to Lidan and raised an amused eyebrow, "I think I'm going through a very painful period of withdrawl."

Knowing exactly which type of 'action' Sethi was speaking of, Lidan snorted, "Speak for yourself."

"What? When did YOU last get some?

Lidan smiled, "A good seductress never shares her secrets."

"Shut up, you're such liar." But Sethi laughed at the comment. She hadn't had meaningful sex with anyone since Greyg had died...only casual, seemingly passionless rendevous had resulted ever since.

"Well tell you what, after all of this is finally over, we'll dress up real nice and go out on the town and find some worthwhile men."

The idea made Sethi happy, maybe it was what she needed to cope with the loss of Greyg, "Consider it a date."[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]"Of course. Just don't make me drag our cheerful ray of sunshine along."

[i]Sethi rolled her eyes, then collapsed in her chair, laughing hysterically...a few minutes later, the two recovered their dignity and sat up straight.[/i]

"Would we go to the same place?"

"Why not? Only the best for the best." ;)

".....Pah, I'll bet Gordon doesn't think the same."

"He's a guy. Go figure."

[i]Sethi snorted and pulled her hair down to her shoulders and began brushing it. Lidan followed suit and pulled a comb from her backpack....[/i]

"What else do you have in there?"

"Oh....you don't want to know."

"But I do!"

"No you don't."[/COLOR]

[Justin]

"General?"

"Yes?" Gordon's answer was blunt and gruff as be strapped his battle armor.

"I heard you'll be joining us in the first wave..."

"Your ears did not lie, comrade. I will indeed be joining the first wave." Gordon said.

"It'll be the most dangerous. If you die, the Revolution is over." his attendant said with a saddened face.

"Someone else will just come along. The time of the Seven has come to an end. It is they're fate." Gordon said.

"You believe in fate, sir?"

"So surprising?" Gordon said with a smirk.

"Well, yes, sir. I can't believe that my destiny is out of my hands."

"Heh...then you go and live your life in fear. With fate, fear profits a man nothing. You won't live one second longer hiding in a bunker than fighting on the battlefeild. Let's go, comrade." Gordon wlaked out of the room as he striaghtened his gloves and cloak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There they are." Lidan eyed the scanners.

"The people Gordon is supposed to kill for us?"

"Yep. They'll be boarding us in 15 minutes."

"Can we see Gordon's ship from here." Sethi asked.

"Nope. He's completely hidden it that other ships wake."

"Good."

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Lidan sat back and braided her hair swiftly, her hands moving as they had for the past fifteen years....then she snapped off the end with a sliver of leather, then looked at the console again. Sethi exchanged a glace with her and the two put their hands on their chins and sighed simeotaneously. [I hate spelling that word.][/i]

"This bites Li."

"We know. Nothing to do but sit back on our åsses and look pretty."

"I was always good at that."

"Tch, yeah right. I have more experience."

"Yep, champion seductress."

"Total prostitute."

"No I wasn't!"

"Yes you were!"

"No I wasn't!"[/COLOR]

[BabyGirl]

[color=purple]"Heh, whatever. I was engaged, remember?" Sethi smiled, "He was my one and only."

"Why do I seem to doubt that?"

Mildly offended, Sethi shrugged, "He honestly was." Then she picked up on her sister's joke, "And before him there was just a bunch of passion-less sex, and after him there was just a bunch of passion-less sex."

Lidan laughed a good, hearty laugh, "Then maybe I don't have to feel so bad afterall..."

She was cut off when a blast rocked their shuttle.

"****!" Lidan scrambled to her feet and checked the sensors, "What the hell was that?"

Sethi, who had also been knocked to the floor, joined her sister, "The Fukow transport..."

"Dammit, Gordon."

Bismini fighters swarmed out like angry insects invading the space around them.

Lidan tapped a console, "Sheild damage."

"Let's just hope they can take care of that thing before it can take care of us."[/color]

[Justin]

All the fighters cleared away from the Fukow transport.

"What the hell are they doing?" Lidan exclaimed.

"I--" Sethi was cut off when a rumbling blue light came from Gordon's ship and incinerated the Fukow transport.

"[i]They just needed a moment to charge her up, girls.[/i]" Gordon said from one of the fighters.

"Gordon!?" Sethi called into the communicator.

"[i]That's me. I'm going down with the first wave.[/i]"

"Big hero..." Lidan said sarcastically.

"[i]I love you too...Fitch out[/i]" Gordon cut off the line.

"Isn't that annoying?" Lidan said.

"Heh...yeah..." Sethi replied.

-Justin

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]"Sethi, shoot me now."

"Why?"

"I just realized something very important."

"What's that?"

".....I'm on my rag."

"Oo. You have a sympathizer."

[i]A guard nearby shuddered and looked at Lidan with a look of disgust. She looked at him....her eyes glazing coldly.[/i]

"Problem mister?"

"LOL, he's probably never encountered a girl who'll talk about their bodily functions so bluntly."

"Shurrup."[/COLOR]

[Justin]

"[i]Two Fukow fighter divisions approaching from the north, sir.[/i]" another pilot said.

"Damn...I though for sure we'd make it to Xi Xi before we had any trouble." Gordon said.

"[i]There'll be an armed division waiting outside Xi Xi for our landing.[/i]" Yet another fighter pilot spoke up.

"[i]You state the obvious, friend.[/i]" Another pilot interjected.

"Oh well...We'll just have to fight. Make sure no one get's to the shuttles carrying the main group of men. We're going on com-silence until we encounter the fighters. Fitch out." Gordon switched off his com system. "[i]Geeze...this may be harder than I thought. I just hope those two don't get stupid up there.[/i]" He thought. "[i]If there is a god, I hope he's got his eyes on this side of the universe right now...[/i]" Then he kissed a medalion around his neck and spoke aloud, "At Victorialis..."

"[i]Four fighters just came within visual range, sir.[/i]"

"I see them..."

-Justin

[BabyGirl]

[color=purple]Sethi glanced at the man, "Periods are a *****."

He turned a slight shade of crimson at the comment, coughed, and turned away.

"So now we sit in here and watch all of that action out there." Lidan sighed, "I think I'm going to start shaking violently if I don't get in on all this action."

Sethi smiled, "Nah, I think the shaking would just come from [i]being on your rag[/i]." She threw a smirk over her shoulder as the guard scooted farther away.

Lidan gave her sister a "you're dumber than I thought" look and twirled the blade of her dagger around on the control board of the shuttle.[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]"I need to get a hobby."

[i]Lidan moaned and stretched out, her chin resting on the console.....hands drooping by her sides.[/i]

"I'll say."[/COLOR]

[Justin]

"Alright, fighters, form up!" Gordon barked.

"[i]Yes, sir![/i]" They all beamed in unison.

"Prepare to fire torpedos. I'll fire the first one. After that, fire at will." Gordon said. The enemy fighters began drawing closer. Gordon pulled down a targeting computer from over his seat. "White One--scud 5!" Gordon said as he released his torpedo. All at once transmission from all the various fighter began coming in of the torpedos they were firing. Enemy fighters were dropping like flies. "Dog fight! Dog fight!" Gordon commanded as the enemy got too close to fire torpedos safely.

"[i]Dirty bastards![/i]" one pilot said as he pounded an enemy with fire.

"[i]I'm hit![/i]" Another said as he went down.

"Everyone, go up! Deploy the cluster missiles!" Gordon commanded.

"[i]Yessir![/i]" All the fighter did as they were commanded. And all the enemy ships were obliterated.

"We can't do that much more. But I didn't want to risk it becoming something major. We'll need ALL our men when we get to Xi Xi. Fitch out."
