Mrs. Universe tries to send a newswave to the Sereni-Tree.
"Guys? Mrs. U. here. Leopard Flan and I are stranded on Australia! Can you send someone down to get us?"

"Australia?" TheRealMe reaches out and a point of light appears before him. It expands until it becomes a ring of fire surrounding a dark void. He reaches into this hole in reality and pulls Leopardflan and Mrs Universe back aboard Sereni-Tree. The dimensonal portal fades away.

Leopardflan and Mrs Universe find themselves on the bridge just as Quincey makes another jarring course change. They are caught off balance while TheRealMe's tiny form goes flying again.

Meanwhile, Bobby Sue keeps firing (and babbling). "I mean, someone would shout out, 'Hey Will!' and EVERYONE'S head would turn! EVERYONE! It's just not practical!"

Mrs. Universe looks around.
"Guys, what's going on? What do you need me to do? I'm skilled in time-space stuff."

TheRealMe's tiny form climbs back up into the chair of his bridge console. "Greetings, Mrs Universe! Sereni-Tree and the space station Persepolis 8 are under attack by numerous enemy fighters. Our own figher Nandi was launched to do battle, while our gunners defend us and our pilot, Bride5, attempts to dodge their attacks with her fancy flying. Meanwhile, our engineer Bride4 is attempting to generate enough power for a Jump into hyperspace in..."

Jet's voice comes over the intercom: "Jump in four minutes."

"...in four minutes." TheRealMe concludes. "Anything you can do would be appreciated, Mrs Universe." He keys the com. "Jake7? This is Me. Due to their ship configurations and energy signatures, I suspect that we are being attacked by our old enemies, the..."

TheRealMe is once again thrown from his place by Quincey's piloting.

Meanwhile, Bobby Sue continues to blaze away from her turret. "And... and... are the GIRLS named Will, too? That's just WRONG!"

By this time, Nandi has punched through the formation of fighters and has turned 180 degress about, blasting the attackers from behind.

**jake7 growls in frustration at yet another cut off transmission from TRM. More fighters seem to be swarming out of nowhere and her arms are getting tired. She sets off a few more blasts sending several more fighters splintering into Persepolis' atmo. Small comfort, but one she'll take at the moment. She takes a split-second to hit her comm switch**

I don't recognize these fighters, TRM, are you sure they're someone we've dealt with before?

TheRealMe has managed to climb back to his console. "Bride5! Fly us directly at the enemy fighters. Bride4, full power! Gunners! Keep up your volume of fire!"

Sereni-tree swerves again as Quincey adjusts the course (this time TheRealMe manages to hang on). "Directly at them? Well... if you say so!"

From engineering, Jet's voice comes over the intercom: "Copy full power! Hyperspace Jump in three minutes!"

Meanwhile, the fighter Nandi continues to approach the enemy, blazing its lasers at the backs of the enemy fighters. Now, Nandi and Sereni-Tree are coming at them from both sides.

TheRealMe smiles. "We've got them surrounded!"

Above him in the pilot dome, Quincey glances at a readout and smirks. "Just Nandi and us, we have all 128 fighters surrounded?"

"Just so!" agrees TheRealMe. "Oh, Jake7? I believe these attackers to be the dreaded Enemy Invaders or Evil Invaders. We haven't seen them in 40 threads or so, since Serenity flew up and dropped a bomb down their smokestack."

"Coming up on them now," Quincey says. "Hope we win this game of chicken or else we'll be scraping them off our windshield."

TheRealMe's tiny form walks along the console and kicks a few controls. "There! I've enabled the Inertial dampeners in the hanger. Hanger doors opening. Bride5?"

"Mmmm?" Quincey is concentrating on her piloting.

"Bride5, perform a Barn-swallow maneuver on Nandi as we pass by."

"Huh? At this speed? You gotta be..."

"Brilliant?"

"Right, that was the word I had in mind..."

"Regardless, those are my orders."

Quincey shrugs as she lines up the hanger bay door with the projected course of Nandi. "Huh, well, it's your funeral. Mine too."

"Hyperspace Jump in two minutes!"

**OOC. Evil Invaders? Doesn't ring a bell. Was that during the time when I lost track of the thread and couldn't find it to participate?**

Just as they go into Hyperspace Jump, Mrs. Universe punches in a code and hits a button.

As Sereni-Tree speeds toward its enemies, TheRealMe reconfigures his console as a gunnery station and takes over one of the set of laser cannons. He combines his fire with that of Jake7 and Bobby Sue, and soon the three have punched a hole through the thick blanket of enemy fighters.

Jet’s voice comes over the intercom: “Thirty seconds to Jump.”

TheRealMe keeps firing. “Bride5, how is that Barn-swallow maneuver coming?”

From the pilot dome above, Quincey replies, “Nandi signals ready. We’re lined up now if we can hold this course.”

"Twenty seconds, Nineteen, Eighteen, Seventeen…"

TheRealMe stops firing and prepares to close the hanger door.

"Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen, Thirteen, Twelve…"

Sereni-Tree lurches.

Quincey calls down, “Capture on Nandi! She’s aboard!”

"Eight, Seven, Six, Five…"

TheRealMe slams the button and the hanger doors slowly close.

" Four, Three, Two, One…"

The lights dim as Sereni-Tree makes the Jump to Hyperspace.

Mrs Universe does her time warp thing and pushes a button.

TheRealMe sighs. “We’re safe in Hyperspace! Now let’s go see who was in Nandi. Good job everyone! Bride4, Bride5, downgrade operations to Hyperspace mode. Jake7, Bride6, secure and power down ship’s weapons for the week in Hyperspace.”

TheRealMe finds that the shrinking effect has worn off and he is now his normal size. He gets up and walks out of the bridge onto a balcony overhanging the common room. He follows that until he comes to the hanger bay. After entering the pass code, the door opens. He sees that Sparky the Robot has already started to service Nandi.

A pair of Yeti wave as they climb out of the fighter’s cockpit. Ervin, the larger, comes forward with a big toothy grin. “Ervin and Hewitt have good fun! Ervin watch how Seryn fly back when we fight cruiser over Boros. Ervin try, and is good! Hewitt fires gun of Nandi.

Hewitt nods. “Hewitt play many video games!”

OOC: I am going to visit my brother’s family, and might not have internet access. If this is my last post ever to this site, then just know that I love you all!

Mrs. Universe shakes her head.
"You two thought it was a VIDEO GAME? Hijole."

She secretly presses a button to reprogram the Nandi to not allow Yetis to fly it.
