"AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A RAGNAR PARTY! AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A RAGNAR PARTY!" Ursa woke up with a start the alarm filling her room with a bright neon blue light. She sat up slowly, her book falling to the ground as she rubbed her eyes. She smacked the little green box to get it to shut up before she hopped down to the ground itching her exposed stomach as she pulled down the window shutter a few centimeters before letting it roll up to expose the glow of deep space. She walked over to the stereo inserted in the side of the wall and clicked on her morning tunes. As the music filled her little room she scooted over to her wardrobe and propped it open pulling out a purple velvet bra, a dark blue crop top with the word, 'Brunchin' embroidered in a vibrant yellow. She pulled out some black jeans shaking slightly as she danced to the beat of the song. She turned to look in the mirror leaning forward only to flip her hair back, her hands running down her body to play an air guitar. She let out a small squeal, kicking away some clothes so she could find her brush. When she saw it she fell to her knees and picked it up brushing her hair in tune to the film, before throwing it away and shimmying down so her back was on the ground. She arched back lip syncing part of the song before she picked up some sunglasses, shoving them over her eyes as the beat went dead. 

She sat up and let out a sigh before standing up and turning off the music. She then put on her trademark shoes and leather jacket before heading down the hall towards the cockpit. As she entered she walked over to Mac who handed her a mug with the word, 'Head Bitch' stamped on the side. She sipped the coffee slowly, "[color=00746b]Thanks, sexy. Now, how we doin' are we close?[/color]" 

He smirked at her comment, "[color=fff200]Yeah we are close. Should be there in an hour. The crystals are packed and ready for shipment. We contacted Yondi and he and his crew will meet us at the drop off with his crew. Also, we got a new contract.[/color]"

Ursa groaned, moving over to the large screen set into the table showing the map of the surrounding area. She scooted it over a few meters and spoke evenly, "[color=00746b]Yeah I read it. We have to transport Mr. Flirt for a group within the Capitol. Money's good though so I accepted.[/color]" 

Mac laughed, "[color=fff200]Figured you would. He really isn't that bad of a guy.[/color]" 

Ursa sipped her coffee and turned to give him a pointed stare, "[color=00746b]Grow a set of tit's and see how nice he is then.[/color]" 

Mac laughed before speaking slowly, "[color=fff200]Speaking about an extra set of tits. Takashi was telling me we have a guest?[/color]"

Ursa nodded briefly, "[color=00746b]Shapeshifter. We saved her from the wreckage on Theonia. Posed as Anna before I caught her.[/color]"

Ursa waved over Takashi as he entered and spoke to him aside from Mac, "[color=00746b]Go tell, our stowaway that we arrive in an hour and bring her to the kitchen for some food. When we reach Agrathea make sure she finds her way on a respectable shuttle.[/color]" 

Her eyes drifted back to Mac, "[color=00746b]Give her 500 kredits from my account before she leaves the Ranger, and you know damn well how I feel about stowaways, so don't give me that look. You have the balls to bust into my ship. You have the balls to earn my respect. Now let's motor. Yondi has my money.[/color]" She paused at his look, "[color=00746b]Our money.[/color]"

She moved to the captain's seat and hiked her leg up on the armrest as Takashi and Mac headed to their own stations. She was being rude when it came to Juniper. She should give her a formal goodbye but to be honest she didn't find it necessary to see her again. Poor kid was a pit of misery and Ursa didn't want to see the waterworks if she had to. Plus the farther away the kid was from their business...the better. She looked out the window into deep space the barest dot of red blaring back at her in the distance. Agrathea..one of the large port planets in the business and the main hub for criminal activity. Control was based on the unwritten rule of freedom from the planets. You let us play our games and we keep our game in our own atmosphere. Even legitimate governments played the game over time. Hell Ursa worked for at least half of them. Hypocritical fucks. She shut her eyes and settled in, knowing that they would be arriving soon.

---------------------- Agrathea ---------------------------

Ursa hopped out of the Ranger, with a cigarette in her mouth and her hands in her pockets. Darian and Mac carried each two metal cases full of crystals. The port was full of various styles of ships and carriers. The city was lit up with floating neon signs, layers of housing and shops piled on top of each other, clawing for their small scrap of space. A maze of intricate cultures the city was alive and thriving. At the gritty bottom though was druggies shoving needles into every god damn weak point of their skin, prostitutes giving away the goods with only dumpsters available for privacy. Children were stealing anything they could get their grubby little paws on, and animals moved in packs in order to hunt for scraps. The place was a beehive of depravity and Ursa knew every god damn corner of it. She smiled, pulling away the cigarette to let a puff of air fade into the air. She heard a noise behind her and turned to see Juniper and Takashi at the top of the exit platform. She eyed Juniper for a few minutes and gave a small smile before she spoke to Mac, "[color=00746b]She would make one hell of a smuggler with that skill she's got...you know.[/color]" 

He turned her back around, "[color=fff200]Get out of the clouds Ursa. We have a job to do.[/color]" 

Ursa nodded, pulling out some sunglasses as she shoved the cigarette back into her mouth, "[color=00746b]You're right. Yondi is waiting.[/color]" 

A cruiser pulled up a few minutes later and the three crew members hopped inside, Ursa taking one more look at Juniper before they headed straight into depravity. 

---------Sometime Later-------------

The warehouse was filled with busted cars and metal boxes of stock that could be filled with either teddy bears or explosives. Ursa and her men walked into the darkly lit warehouse to find a group of tall copper coloured aliens in deep gray charcoal suits. [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/34/30/bf/3430bf219047f9df882dedcb67cda4b4.jpg]Yondi[/url] stood at the front of them. Ursa entered with a soft boom, "[color=00746b]Yondi, sugar. It's been some time. How's the wife?[/color]" 

He responded with an arrogant smirk, "[color=f7941d]Shelia? Dead for all I care. Bitch was screwing the neighbor.[/color]" 

Ursa smiled, taking out her cigarette and crushing it on the floor, "[color=00746b]Ouch. I would judge her but I haven't seen the neighbor yet?[/color]" 

Yondi gave her the finger then motioned towards the cases, "[color=f7941d]Those what I think they are.[/color]" 

Ursa nodded, "[color=00746b]Two hundred Aderthal crystals by noon on Agrathea. Just what you asked for. You got my payment?[/color]"

Yondi turned lifting a hand as a young man walked up opening the case to show a case full of kredits. Ursa felt a shiver of excitement role through her body as she eyed the kredits. She turned to Mac then to Darian and the boys walked forward opening the box to expose the glittering crystals. Ursa spoke evenly, "[color=00746b]Always good business with you Yondi. So we do a straight trade and we both end up back where we..[/color]" 

"[color=f7941d]Not so fast Ursa. Look you and I have been doing business for a long time now. I know how you operate and I know your weaknesses. Usually business is clean but right now I can't afford to lose these kredits. I have employers that are calling in on some debts and I can't afford to pay service charges so...[/color]" 

Suddenly the men held up their guns, rays aimed directly at Mac and the boys. Darian swore in his native language, "[color=a0410d]Kunta Proga.[/color]" 

Mac remained quiet, apart from a raised eyebrow and a violent glare. Ursa shoved her hands on her hips, a shocked expression on her face, "[color=00746b]Well...Fuck Yondi. I'm actually surprised you had the balls to do this..shit. I was not prepared for this today.[/color]" 

She walked forward slightly, "[color=00746b]I mean I can handle the loss. I can pay the men for my personal account..but I went through three months of planning and fuel for this shit. I thought we were friends.[/color]" 

Yondi laughed, "[color=f7941d]Friends. Oh come on Ursa, you know you were always the bitch in our relationship.[/color]" 

Ursa nodded, "[color=00746b]Well apparent fuckingly...okay. Give him the crystals. What? Do not give me that look, Mac. I ain't dying for some rocks. What do think I'm going to go...attack Yondi and his people by myself that's stupid.[/color]" 

Mac and Damian brought the cases forward setting them at Yondi's feet, before backing away slowly. Ursa raised her hands, "[color=00746b]Look lower your fucking pistols. I know when I've been beaten. I can handle the loss anyway Yondi..It's not a big deal. Besides you're big business. Why ruin a relationship over a bad deal.[/color]" 

Yondi laughed, leaning down to pick up a crystal, "[color=f7941d]Oh I wasn't worried about that. You haven't lifted your pistols in the eight years I've known you. I mean that old shit for brains Jerry, maybe I would have been scared of but you? Hah. I figured you weren't an idiot. A good bitch knows who her employers are. Lower em boys.[/color]" 

Yondi stood up slowly, "[color=f7941d]See I knew you would be...[/color]" 

Suddenly the crystals exploded in front of him shooting up into the air. Mac and Damian rolled to the sides pulling out two pistols to shoot at the crew behind Yondi. Ursa hit the deck as soon as the crystals exploded, rolling forward and then onto her feet as screams began to fill the air. She twisted to the side kicking up one of the metal cases to block the oncoming barrage of gun fire. She smirked, pulling out her guns as she kicked the case forward towards one of the men, knocking him to the ground. She jumped up shooting the man who was trying to get up and rolling him up and over her body as shots came her way. She grunted lifting the corpse to use him as a shield as she went running towards Yondi who was picking up crystal shards and shoving them into the other case. She threw the corpse to the left sliding down to turn on her back kicking backward up into Yondi's chin. He fell to the dirt in a crash, bullets grazing Ursa as she darted towards him rolling to the side just in time to miss them. She twisted, leaning up to aim a shot at his hand. The bullet hit with the precision she was known for, blowing the gun right out of her way. She hit the ground on her shoulder, crystals stabbing into her stomach and legs, moving back onto her knee's as Yondi screamed out in pain. She darted behind a storage box, a bullet grazing her arm as she slid behind it, "[color=00746b]YOU KNOW YONDI...I COULD HAVE FORGIVEN YOU FOR FUCKING ME OVER. HELL, I SEE THE REASON BEHIND IT. I HAVE CONSIDERED DOING THE SAME THING TO YOU MULTIPLE TIMES..[/color]" 

She moved to the sides letting a few shots go off, her aim excellent as one of Yondi's men poked his head up behind a box to aim at her, about to take the shot when she performed a perfect headshot. She spoke above the barrage of bullets, "[color=00746b]I COULD EVEN FORGIVE YOU FOR MENTIONING JERRY IN A DEROGATORY MANNER.[/color]" 

She stood up randomly shooting two more of Jerry's men before Mac put another one down to the left that took the chance to aim at her. She waited for another to shoot but it was only the young man left and he was huddled in the corner, tears streaming down his cheeks as he gripped the case of money. Ursa walked out from behind the box, her shoes crunching the crystal and bullets beneath them as she walked over to Yondi who was gripping his bleeding hand, his eyes shooting daggers up at her. She lifted her gun, her yellow eyes baring down onto him with an angry expression, as she spoke evenly, "[color=00746b]But I'm nobody's bitch.[/color]" 

She let out a final beautiful shot into his skull before she walked over to Damian and Mac who were standing in front of the young man. As she approached the young man lifted up the case and Ursa reached down taking it slowly, "[color=00746b]Thank you. You just earned 200 Anderthal crystals for your troubles.[/color]" She handed the case to Mac and then headed for the exit stretching lightly, "[color=00746b]Pleasure doing business with you. Let's do it again some time.[/color]" 

Damian and Mac followed her outside, Mac speaking slowly, "[color=fff200]We have to get out of here. Even if we are on Agrathea, Yondi had a lot of friends. They find out we killed him it could go bad. They need time to cool off.[/color]" 

Ursa nodded, "[color=00746b]That fucking punk thought I was just going to sit back and take it from behind. I didn't think he would do it you know? For a split second, I thought he would actually back down once we were face to face. Bullshit. I could kill that mother fucker again, if I didn't have to waste the bullet. God damn waste of a relationship, that is.[/color]" 

She shoved her gun into it's holster harshly as they headed into the cruiser darting through the streets back towards the Ranger. When they arrived she hoped out noting Takashi was waiting for her by the entry door, "[color=39b54a]How did it go?[/color]"

She growled, "[color=00746b]Yondi is no longer a valued customer of Cooper incorporated.[/color]" 

He smirked, "[color=39b54a]Told you the intel was good.[/color]" 

Ursa walked past him into the ship, as he followed behind her, blood running down her left hand from her cut shoulder, "[color=00746b]That fucker. I hate. HATE using my damn guns. Makes the job so damn messy. Now I'm gonna have families cursing my name and whoever Yondi was in touch with is going to be on my ass. PLUS...HE THINKS I WAS HIS BITCH. FOR EIGHT YEARS...HE THOUGHT I WAS WORKING FOR HIM...THAT MOTHER...What the hell is she doing on my ship?[/color]" 

She eyed Juniper with a confused expression as Takashi spoke up, "[color=39b54a]Well about that...[/color]" 

Suddenly a blast came from outside of the ship. Ursa swore moving to the window to see a few cruisers heading towards the port. She turned to Anna, yelling out angrily, "[color=00746b]GET US OFF THE GROUND NOW![/color]" 

Another blast went off as the ship slowly lifted off the ground the engines running at full burn. Takashi turned to his station helping with taking off as Ursa walked over to the Tabletop setting in coordinates for their next port, where they would be off to handle their next contract. Mr. Flirt or rather Emmett Draykon. When the coordinates were imputed into the system, she turned to look back at Juniper with slightly angry yellow eyes, "[color=39b54a]Now...let me ask again. What are you still doing on my ship?[/color]"
