And our latest adventure:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22669&m=354180#354180

In which:
The job went off with almost no hitches, exept for a bit of shooting and a truck charging at us, so pretty much normal. But then, wolf came back with a bunch of mercs, tried to kill mal, and almost succeeded if it wern’t for those meddling kids, I mean JR hitting him with a boot.

Who knows wattll happen next, but lets follow the rules shall we?

We're open to all authors and writing styles. This thread is just for fun! However, we do ask that a couple of simple rules be followed:

No killing of other author’s characters or of canon characters. In that vein, try to keep canon characters acting like themselves.

Please try to post with consideration for fellow authors and with some consistency to current story lines.

Sub-plots are great and we welcome them, but please try to make them fit into the current stories as much as possible.

Oh, and please keep things as close to PG as possible. If you have a more adult scene you'd like posted, send it to Ertia and She'll put it up on her site.

So…lets get going.

wolf" wash, i know wat i did was wrong, but help me out here, ok?"

wash" why?"

wolf" coz theres a ton of napalm headed towards this ship and in an hour we're all frizzled."

wash" frizzled?"

wolf" frizzled."

wash" ok."

*they sorted out the controls, when jr ran in and tackled wolf to the floor. wash protested.*

wash" i wouldn't do that."

jr" why not?"

*wolf punched him unconsious and sat him down in the corner.*

wolf" sorry buddy."

*wolf spoke into the enginroom com.*

*Pain swears and says into the com again*

Is anybody pickin' this up or am I makin' myself look like a donkey's pigu and talkin' to myself?

*Pain depressed the button and heard the familiar noise of static. Pain swore again as a familiar voice came on over the com*

Hello Pain is that you?

*Pain replied*

Wash is that you?

*Wash replied*

Uh I believe it is unless you know someone else named Wash.

*Pain smiled and said*

Ha ha Wash. Can you send someone to pick us up? We're kind of havin' problems with the hover mule.

*Wash replied*

I'd like to Pain but Serenity's land locked right now an.....

*The com went all staticky again as Pain turned to the other five and said*

Well it looks like we won't be gettin' help any time soon. Serenity's been land locked again.

Ertia crawled to her knees and promptly vomited over the cargo bay floor as the effects of the multiple concussions struck her. Gasping and wiping her mouth, she looked around, concerned at the mess and the noise.

"I got him." Sybil's voice sounds overhead and Ertia glances up at the catwalk where the beauty stands with a frying pan in her hand. All four of her...

"Landlocked!" Wash's voice echoes from the other direction. "We're completely tied down."

"Port authority?" JR was asking, and Ertia tried to figure out which of the four of him she should be looking at, "Alliance did this?"

"No." Wash answered, "This is a private lock. Illegal."

"Com..thing..get.." Ertia stops, shakes her head, realizes that was the wrong thing to do as the entire bay spins around her. "Got..comp..th.."

"She needs a computer." Sybil interpreted quickly, "Can you do it, Ertia?"

Sybil is helping her to her feet, but she can't answer. Her tongue feels thick and the room is spinning. The throbbing from the back of her head carries all the way to her spine.

"Wolf was trying to get us out of here in a hurry." Wash said, concerned, as JR picked up Ertia and carried her to the bridge.

Settling her in the co-chair, he pulled up the keypad for her.

"Oh. Not good." Wash was looking at the screen in front of him. "We got some kind of heat signature bearing in."

"Shut the cargo bay. Lock up." JR orders Sybil, who runs for the cargo bay."I'll go heat the engines. Ready when you are, Wash."

Ertia stares blankly at the screen. There's too many numbers. They're rolling too fast, scribbling by. They bring the nausea back...what was she..oh...landlock.

Quickly, she logged into Paquin's direct Port Satellite- locks locks locks..why was everything the right combination today? Her fingers trembled as she was forced to type and then retype as her eyes came unfocused and the screen waved in front of her.

tag...

There was a beep, a blue light on the com, and Wash yelled, "NOW! GO!"

Serenity surged skyward, the g-forces shoving Ertia back into the seat, and causing her to vomit again. "Sorry...Sorry...Wash..."

"Hey, NOT on the com panel, E."

There was a devilishly bright light below them, a flare of orange and red as Serenity lifted.

Wash grabbed the com, "JR, Sybil? Would you mind taking the second shuttle and finding our wayward babes? Choo? Is the doc conscious? How's Zoe? Ertia's puking all over the brigde. I think her brain got scrambled."

Ertia just lay there, watching the clouds move out the windscreen, and listened to Wash take charge. Then she remembered.

That bastard Wolf.
He was going to pay for this. Everything. "Wolf?"

Wash smiled wickedly to Ertia as he snapped a clip into his pistol, "I can't fly and shoot at the same time."

He hands her the gun, "He comes near that door, you shoot him."

Ertia looked at the three Wash's and the four guns, and waved her hand dizzily, idly wondering if there were three Wolf's and which one she should shoot first.

Choo tried to steady himself as the ship pitch and yarred all wildly.

"I'm trying my best Mr. Wash. Also can you just carm down, Miss Washburn is fine, and also, were in surgery down here..."

Choo looked across to where simon was trying to stitch Mals deep cut's across the stomach. There seemed to be blood everywhere...

"also, once we've landed the Captains going to need a blood transfusion. Wash is the only compatible person on board." Simon said over his shoulder as he carefully closed the wound. "Can you read me his vitals from the display..."

Meanwhile, over Wolfs sleeping body, River circled him muttering "...bad wolf. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, big bad wolf, big bad wolf..."

*Pain replied as he leaned against the mule, pulling out a cigar, sticking it in his mouth and lighting it*

Dunno but I sure as hell ain't likin' them much myself.

*Jayne replied*

Oh yeah that's gonna be fun. Hey Pain ya got another one of them cigars?

*Pain blew out a cloud of white tobacco smoke and replied*

Yeah but it's the last one I have on me.

*Pain looked at Fly, who looked at him with a disappointed look, and said to her*

Sorry Fly you'll just have to wait til we get back onboard Serenity so's I can offer you one.

*Fly got up from the ground, walked over to Pain, snatched the cigar out of his mouth, smiled and said*

Sorry but I didn't want to wait.

*Jayne chuckled as he saw Fly take the cigar from Pain's mouth he was about to say something when the familiar sound of a shuttle approached. John looked up and said*

About time someone showed up. I was getting tired of reading Jayne's thoughts.

Wash soared Serenity out over the city, and set her down on the plains just north of town as gently as he could. "From here we can see anything coming."

Ertia took in his words, but her eyes felet so heavy. She couldn't take the spinning anymore. "I don't feel so good. I've gotta sleep."

"NO! Oh, no no no. No sleeping!" Wash shook her shoulder gently, "Come on. We'll get you to the Infirmary."

Wash helped her up and made his way down the stair half-carrying her. When he saw River circling Wolf's prone form, he paused. He couldn't help Ertia, give blood, AND tie up Wolf.

"River? Can you take the tape and tie him up?"

"Tape won't hold. His arm is too strong." River said vaguelly, looking at the exposed wires in his bionic arm.

Ertia raised Wash's pistol, braced herself against him, and fired four shots point-blank into the joint of the bionic arm. There was a hiss, and then the lights went out. With a vicious kick, she knocked it free, sending sprawling obscenely across the cargo bay floor.

"That works." Wash said approvingly.


man! I'm tired! I gotta figure out a way to get paid for this!
