OOC: Mai, I worry that your obsession is becoming a problem. Do we need an intervention?

(Ok so I'm going to jump right in. don't know how good I'll do but the point is to have fun right?)
In the back of a cargo ship, hidden by some boxes two figures lay asleep, unknowing that their small haven was about to liftoff, unknowing that soon they would be on the adventure of their young lives.

On Boros, outside the hanger:
Monkeytail and Obi-Real Kenobi are taking care of the few Alliance troops who still dare to face them. Suddenly, like Luke near the end of the Hoth Battle, Obi-Real looks up to see a shuttle swoosh off into the sky. A second one follows it moments later.
Obi-Real talks into his com-link while parrying three attacks. “Bride5, the shuttles are away. They are most likely unarmed. You must provide any necessary fire support. Do not be concerned about us!”
“Hey!” Quincey responds. “I’ve been listening to com signals! Things don’t look too good on the Sereni-Tree just now! Looks like they’ve been boarded!”
Obi-Real sighs. “Boarded? Huh! Very well!”
Obi-Real uses his light saber to slice through the wall of ice, then the wall of metal of the hanger. “Monkeytail, stay here, guard this hole, and watch for Jadehand. Remember… he might look like anyone or anything! Test his knowledge before you accept him.” Obi-Real pulls off his nametag, becoming TheRealMe once again. He quickly evaluates the remaining shuttles, and choses one for his purpose. He climbs in and begins preparing it for flight.
“Hmmm… an Eagle, why I haven’t seen one of these, since…”

An explosion of white fire erupts from Narya and Kelly hears the satisfying screams of the Alliance troops as their goggles are filled with blinding white light. Holding the Ring aloft, she shouts to her comrades to keep firing.
*Ath grins at Kelly, squinting through the light surrounding her. He begins picking off the Alliance marines with ease, taking down a half dozen before he has to re-load.
When he's finished, he looks back up towards the airlock to see a new squad arriving. He takes one look at Kelly, and a spike of fear drives into his stomach. Standing there in the middle of the room, lit up as she is, she's a giant target.
Without a moment's consideration, Ath leaves his cover and runs over to Kelly, standing between her and the Alliance.*
"Mana carelyë ná? What are you doing?!", shouts Kelly.
*Rather then answer, Ath shoots a marine who was lining up a shot on the elf. The remaining members of the squad split up, taking cover. They slowly work their way towards Kelly, ducking behind couches, tables and dead marines on the way. Ath manages to shoot three more of them, but wastes most of his ammo on keeping them pinned down. Ath feels along his ammo belt for more shells, but there are none to be found. Calmly, he re-holsters his guns and draws Nardol, the sword she gave him.*
"Á pusta tana! Ma hanyalyen? Stop that! Do you understand me?"
*Ath ignores her. With the light behind him, Ath can see everything quite well, while the soldiers have to readjust to the light everytime they look up. Taking advantage of this, Ath is able to cut down two of the marines as they get near. As he turns to the right to strike down a third, Ath feels a sting in his midsection. He looks down and sees a blossom of blood spreading on the front of his shirt, just above his navel. He turns and looks at Kelly.*
"I'm sorry."
*Ath falls to his knees, as Nardol slips from his fingers.*

McQ the Cyborg regains a measure of consciousness, and looks around. He is still in some kind of hospital operating or examination room, having been lain on a table or bed. As he looks around, he sees a huge humanoid creature covered in white fur standing over another nearby table. Laying there is someone unconscious. She is tall woman with dark skin and… wings!
The white-furred creature turns around when it hears McQ stir, and bares its fangs in a fierce smile. It smacks its chest, sending dust and dander into the air. “Corbin! Corbin is friend! Corbin help! Fight downstairs goes bad.”

"Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"
*KellyofLuthien watches as Ath's white fingers lose their grip on her sword, the blade falling in slow motion to hit the bloody ground. The universe becomes silent for her; the only sound she hears is the quiet grunt from Ath as he falls backwards on the floor.
As if wading through the thick air of a dream, Kelly slowly falls to her knees, her ringed hand coming to Ath's stomach to staunch the hot flow of blood spilling to the floor with every heartbeat. The light of her ball of fire dims to a silvery glow, a light of death, a light of mourning.
Kelly whispers Elven phrases, but the wound is too much for her strength. She grabs Ath's hair with her other hand, turning his face toward hers. His agony is contagious, the pain etched in his eyes clear like ice in the silver glow. His lids flutter once before staying closed, and his body goes limp in her arms.
A slice of pain awakens her from this nightmare, and Kelly looks down to see a bullet graze her right shoulder. A gruff hand pulls her to the floor. Kelly looks up to see Assan the Yeti hovering over her.
"Pilot hurt. Assan take to infirmary, for doctor to heal. Assan take elf lady too, she is hurt."
"No."
"But Elf Lady, your arm--"
"NO!"
*Kelly crawls to her fallen sword and grabs the hilt. She stands up, her ring still glowing silver throughout the room, casting wavering shadows as Alliance troops run amock through the area. Kelly lifts Nardol, touching the blade to her forehead. She turns to Assan.*
"Get him to the infirmary, now."
Assan nods and gently picks up Ath.
Kelly turns and faces the soldiers.
"Rhachon le," she says coldly. "Today you die."
She becomes a blur of motion, her silver dress spinning in circles around her, gathering splatters of dark blood as she slices through countless enemies.*

Obsession? Nope just a nice friendly game to pass the time. Don't die and maybe you can play a hand too?

Corbin the Yeti
Taken a little aback at first by the creature beside him - being the first time he's encountered one - McQ decides to trust Corbin as she's the only one in the room to help him up.
"Okay Corbin. I need help getting up, I don't have enough power."
"Corbin help!" she announced and assisted McQ with not only sitting up, but getting back on his feet.
"I need a power source. A generator, battery - anything," McQ explained. He surveys the room with his infrared eye and finds a drawer stocked with smaller batteries. "Over there," he starts and points to the drawer. "Bring me as many of those as you can." Corbin being glad to help, removes the drawer and brings the whole thing to McQ by the examination table. "This should be more than enough, thanks friend."
He installs the batteries into compartments on his biceps and upper thighs, then has Corbin assist with installing them into the jetpack mounted on his back. "Flip that little switch on my jetpack and it'll enable the energy to flow from the batteries into my mechanical limbs." Corbin does as instructed and McQ feels a sudden surge of energy rushing through him. "Oh yeah, now we're talkin'."
McQ picks up his blaster rifle from a nearby counter, turns to Corbin and says, "Well I'd love to stay and chat, but as you know, we have a fight to finish. Let's go."

SR Ducks back as wave of fire sweep over his position. He then scrambles to the closest stairwell and moves down to the next tier. The illumination from the alliance vessel silhouettes the attacking marines perfectly and SR picks off three more before lobing a smoke grenade into the airlock and shifting position again.
