Enter the pirate

[spacerrogue]

She's shooting across the starts in her ship trying to keep a Green Lantern off her tail. This is a huge misunderstanding but she can' get him to listen. How come she can rob and fight with the best of them but the times she tries to do the right thing things get hard.

"This is Red Wing to anyone listening, I need some back up. Got an angry GL on ,my si--- whoa baby!" She barely dances her ship out of the way of another bolt of green. She can see it explode not too far off. Damn it she needs to talk to them!

Why is it no one ever listens? This time she's trying to be good.

"Come on girl," she coos to her ship. "Just keep this up. You're the best darling. Don't let this stick in the mud GL keep us down.... For once it's more than you and me."

She hits the controls again trying to out maneuver the Green Lantern. This is just crazy. How can one angry man keep up with her like this? The Thangarian grits her teeth. No one is going to beat her. Not today! She still has far too much to do.

When the pursuit of the ship in question spills over into Sector 2814, Avalon and Henry are alerted immediately. Luckily they are in a place there they can suit up and head out.

"You ready for this, Green?" asks Avalon. High speed chases are a guilty pleasure for the Blue Lantern, and he's wearing a big grin as he looks to his partner. Within moments they are in range of the pursuit, thanks to Avalon's warping.

"Any time," Henry replies. As he sees the ship come into view, he slides alongside it.

//Ladies and gentlebeings... care to make this easy and just surrender?//

[spacerrogue]

"Like hell! This asshole didn't even bother asking questions," Sher snapped.

Then slammed her hand down on a button to try and gain some more speed.

"Come on baby," she mutters to the ship. She can see that the heat in the drive core is sliding into the hot one. Not quite the danger zone just yet.

"Just get me through this," she mutters again depending on the Starburner to get her through this.

Moving alongside Henry in formation, the blue point of light known as Avalon simply shakes his head some. "I think that's a no." he says to his partner, before he pulls up a few shields.

"Try and get their attention. We're covered." he says.

[lantern_kid]

A net of green energy appears in front of the starship to catch it. "Think that'll work?" Henry asks with a smirk.

[spacerrogue]

"Oh frak me sideways," she tries to pull up. The ship dances across the net as she tries to go vertically up.

"You assholes are good," she snarks.

[hopeburnsbright]

Scattering the blue light that Avalon was using for shielding, he sends it out into a second net, trying to catch the escaping ship.

"Darn, whoever's piloting that thing might just be as good as you at piloting." Ava says to Henry.

[lantern_kid]

"Hrm," Henry replies. He's not disagreeing... but he also can't bring himself to agree, either.

He fires a blast at the engines, hoping to damage its maneuverability.

[spacerrogue]

That one hit that lands despite some fancy moves has the ship spinning out of control. There's a small explosion and it looks like part of the primary engine has blown the big sign of that? Fire.

Sher tries to regain control then her jaw drops. Every light is lit up. Frak! The core!

She puts on her coms blaring a distress signal.

"May day may day you fraking idiots! My drive core is about to light up like a sun! Can't regain control and eject it at the same time," she snaps as she puts on her big girl panties and starts running towards the engine room. Sjhe's going to need to move fast. She only has a minute to start the ejection process before she's in real danger.

[hopeburnsbright]

All the while, the three are hurtling towards Earth.

"Bloody hell!" Avalon mutters, before he then looks o the ship.

//Pilot, you are heading for a planet. If you can get the core ejected, one of us will help get the core cleared while the other keeps your ship from breaking up during reentry.//

He then looks to Henry, "Which one you want?"

[lantern_kid]

"I'll get the core," Henry offers. "You save the pilot."

[spacerrogue]

"Damn it, okay, I'm opening up my cargo bay. Follow the emergency lighting,"Sher calls as she turns back to start punching in commands. Then she starts trying her best to get control of the ship.

"Come on baby, don't fight me. We got a planet full of people I ain't killing," she growls.

[hopeburnsbright]

Splitting off from Henry, Avalon calls up another netting from his ring and this time spreads it like a great spider web to entangle and slow the speeding spacecraft.

\\ Just try to steer into my net, I'll do my best to keep you together. //

[lantern_kid]

Henry catches the core. "Blue, this thing could take out a star when it goes. I'm getting it away from here!"

He heads out as quickly as he can, drawing the ruptured core with him as he goes.

[spacerrogue]

"GL," she calls over the com. "Just get it out of this solar system. It won't be dangerous!"

She has no idea if he heard her. But she manages to push her ship into the net. She grits her teeth. This is going to be so hard.

If she had a crew she'd tell them to brace for a rough landing. he can see emergency lights going up and punches another button to seal herself in the cockpit for safety as she's picking up a hull breach somewhere on the ship.

Her poor baby is shaking so badly.

[hopeburnsbright]

Gritting his teeth, Avalon growls back "Roger!" to his partner, then braces for the impact just as Sher was.

With a roar, the space ship slams into the Earth's atmosphere and burns into flames. Avalon seems to have to be splitting his power between trying to shield himself, and trying to control the speeding ship's descent. He's making headway, but it's not enough. They slow, but not fast enough for him to keep the ship from impacting into the surface of the planet.

[spacerrogue]

The impact puts out some of the fires. But not all of them. Sher gets ripped from her seat and knocked against the bulk head.

She swears loudly. The coms are still up and projecting on a frequency Avalon should be able to hear.

"Ow! Shit, ass, balls," the Thangarian snarls. Then glances up.

"Gods damn it! I got multiple fires!" She staggers to her feet and starts trying to get the cock pit open. Something's not right and she can feel herself growing angrier by the minute. She had to save the supplies. She came too far to fail now
