Mikaru activated the ship's engines as he saw the Talos and Talera spin around
"Holy shit!" was the only thought in Mikaru's mind as he activated the ship's full thrusters, barely escaping the autoturret fire.
I've never even heard of a ship manuvering like that while docked Thought Mikaru as he escaped being blown to pieces.
Mikaru resorted to hit-and-run tactics as he tried to stay away from the Talos and continued to attack the Talera
These are some capable pilots Thought Mikaru as he carefully pressed his attack

Dulkor snarled, having braced himself in the bridge's doorframe.
"That bastard is shooting MY ship... grrrrr...." he pulled out some basic restraints once the ship stabalized, and locked the arms of the man and woman he'd found on the bridge behind their respective backs before getting a status report from the still active ship sub-systems.
"Good, good... no critical damage so far, looks like he's doing just a bit of minor damage to the hull. Heh, poor fool probably doesn't even know what this ship's made of," he pressed a few more keys and nodded to himself, before sending a message to Jenn, "Tell Argus to stop screwing around and shoot that gnat down. The sooner it goes down, the less we have to repair before we can head out."

Jenn grinned while she continued to point her guns at the two men she had found. "Affirmative," she said into her comm.
Argus seemed to have been listening in on the conversation, since in the next volley it fired half a dozen cluster rounds, blowing off the Hammer of Light fighter's left wing...

"Crap, screw it!"
Mikaru pulled out from the battle and went on it's way to Antilla colony

Geez, this just ISN'T my week... PK thinks to himself, staring down the Ingrams. He glances back at Aaron for a moment. Hm...I can't fight her at this range, especially with those guns pointed at us. And Aegis isn't here yet... (Why I think he IS coming is beyond me.) Maybe I can try talking out of this...or at least get her to lower her guard...
Paul raises his hands, trying to appear non-threatening.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's just relax there, m'kay? I'm sure you don't really want to shoot anybody right now, and I'm not exactly in the mood for a fight," he says, smiling confidently, "My name's Paul, Paul Matrix, and this is my kid brother, Aaron. You don't have to even BOTHER pointing a gun at him, he fights about as well as a six year old."
"HEY! I'm not THAT bad!"
"Anyways..." PK continues, "Your name is...?"

With the restraints firmly in place and the fighter breaking off its attack, Dulkor quickly input a code into the still active part of the ship's computer, setting it to voice commands only and securing it to only listen to him.
He walked outside of the bridge, closing the door and saying, "Lock," to secure it.
"Alright Jenn, I've got what's left of the system under my control. I'm gonna swing through the crew quarters and sickbay. I'll meet you in the hangar."

Jenn smiled as she darted forward and shoved an Ingram into the man's mouth, then pushing him backwards into the wall and pinning him against it with both the gun and her own body. She pointed the other gun firmly at the man's brother and smiled sweetly at the helpless Paul Matrix. She leaned forward into the man, feeling herself press into his chest, and placed her lips very close to his face.
"You know, you'd be wrong. I don't have any problems with shooting you both. Don't bother trying to trick me or anything, I'm not some giggly, vapid slut with a gun. I'm Jennifer Kestrel, the Pirate Queen, and you're not going to move or your brains are going to get very intimately acquainted with the wall behind you. Understand?"

Speaking of Aegis...
*thwack!*
*thwip!*
"Some other time, ma'am," a voice snarled.
Suddenly, Jenn found herself unarmed as a 'whip-like weapon' knocked the pistols off her hands, sending them away from the pirate.
Appearing from one of the halls, Aegis charged the woman, and shoved her out of the way, sending the pirate queen sliding along the ground.
"Paul! Aaron! Grab those guns and get to the bridge!" Aegis hollered, pulling out a pistol of his own, though no sign of that 'whip'. "I'll hold her off!"

"Damn, that blast blew out half the controls for the left wing" yelled Mikaru as he did a flight controls check. He was well away from those two ships now, and it would take him about 2 or 3 hours to get to Antilla colony.
Let's just hope another oppurtunity presents it self

Jenn laughed as she slid to a stop. "I like a man with fight," she taunted. "Let's see how much you actually have!" With a tiny flick of the wrist, a small object shot toward Aegis.
The object began to emit a high-pitched whine as it left Jenn's hand and the screeching got louder as it stabbed into the barrel of Aegis' pistol. Being slightly larger than the diameter of the bore, it didn't go straight down the barrel, but instead cut through the gun, accompanied by the shriek of tortured metal. Aegis pulled away and dropped the gun just before the object ripped out the back of his pistol and chewed through the wall behind him. Aegis looked down at the gun, the entire barrel and action cut neatly in half down the middle and only held together by their shared connection to the handgrip.
Jenn raised herself up into a crouch and raised her left hand, showing small black throwing knives between her fingers. "Vibroshuriken. I wouldn't pick those guns up if I were you, boys. Just kick them over here, if you please."

"A girl and her toys," Aegis muttered. "Somehow, though, I expect that from the likes of you... Jenn."
Eyeing the woman, and then mentally counting down the seconds, he raised his hands in the air and slowly took a step back with his leg. A slight snicker crossed his face.
"Luckily, I can hold my own," he said, and, with his right hand, punched a panel to the side.
"RUN!"
Before Jenn could react, a cloud of mist suddenly covered the whole corridor, causing everyone to lose their sight. Within moments, the mist dissippated, and the Matrix brothers have disappeared with the guns.
This leaves Jenn... and what appears to be a massive draconic-like man before her, complete with dark scales, black talons for claws, massive wings, and whip-like tail. The creature before Jenn glared at the woman, his small, slender snout flaring, as the creature eyed Jenn cautiously.
I have no intention of winning this... heck, I expect to lose, especially against you, Aegis thought, going into a fighting pose, baring his sharp, pointed teeth. But if you think I will let you get your hands on Kara... think again!

Jenn glared at the creature. "I really liked those, you know. I expect to get them back after this."
Her expression changed to a smile. "But no matter. Tell me your name..." she said, as she bent her arm and moved her hand behind her head, "so I know what to write on your grave!" Her arm whipped forward, slinging four vibroshuriken at the creature.
Even as she completed her throw, Jenn was already grabbing a dagger from her belt with one hand and another one from her forearm with the other. Blades in hand, she catapulted herself forward...

Expecting Jenn to throw the vibroshurikens, Aegis immediately backflipped to avoid the screaming blades, and thereby just managed to avoid Jenn's lunge. Crouching low on the ground, wings folded, Aegis growled at the pirate queen, veins popping from his massive arms.
"Call me Aegis," he replied.

Jenn grinned at Aegis. "So. A hybrid, are you? This ought to be fun." She lunged forward again, swinging at Aegis's chest and midsection with a left horizontal slash and a vicious right roundhouse kick.

Aegis simply stepped back with the grace of a snake, and spun around to deliver a hit with his tail.
