Jax blushed 50 shades of red as she looked at Morthos in response to his question, "Gleeson was my first and last boyfriend, and believe me after his mix up that night I almost broke up with him the next day. It didn't last as long as you think...He ended up joining RAD's guild in their navy division. He was a Sea creature/Merman, and one hell of a swimmer."

Jax gave him a smile before looking at the table, remembering how she and her first love ended things. It's been three years Jax, and you can't even say it can you. You play the role of girlfriend really well but you don't actually mean it. Do you? You just fake caring about me because you don't want to be alone, but you don't actually love me. I don't want to pretend anymore that this is going somewhere when we both know I'm just going to be hurt in the end. You're the first girl I ever loved, and also the first one to break my heart. I hope someone can convince you letting someone love you takes more strength than hiding because I can't anymore.

Jax reached for the wine glass in front of her and took a sip before she heard Roxas' question, she put on the smile and gave him a teasing response,"Well when you smoke Amarythian Witch Hazel, EVERYTHING sounds like a good idea. It was one hell of a crazy night. Also, you know how long it takes to grow an eyebrow back. Longer than you think!"

She was giggling lightly when Ophelia encouraged them to depart. Jax nodded giving her mom and dad a long comforting hug before they left. As horrible as tonight was it needed to happen. She felt slightly refreshed that everything was out in the open and now that Ophelia stood up for herself they could finally get out of this toxic relationship and work towards something better. When they reached the hotel Jax went ahead behind Ophelia desperate to get into her room so she could collect herself for the night. She knew Morthos had questions, and she knew right now she was almost vulnerable/exhausted enough to answer them. Suddenly Ophelia took Roxas' hand turned and pushed Jax back lightly. Jax's eyes widened as she began to speak, "YOU BETTER NO..."

Ophelia gave a teasing, "Have fun!!" and the door was shut on her words. Jax growled walking towards the door and trying the knob it was locked. She banged on the door,"THIS ISN'T FUNNY! LET ME IN THERE! OPHELIA, YOU ARE GONNA BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE LATER! OPHELIA!!!!!"

After a few more minutes of banging and no response, she turned to see Morthos and sighed, "Okay..fine. Let's go to your room. I need a damn shower anyway."

She headed over to the other room with Morthos, slightly wobbly due to the wine and the day itself. She gave him a small smile before quickly heading into the shower, washing off the blood and grime whilst trying to keep her bandages as dry as possible. She paused in front of the mirror, almost happy that most of her face was bandaged. Maybe she would seem too ugly to sleep with. She laughed, who was she kidding. She was hot as balls and the scar only made her more badass. She flashed a smile in the mirror and then calmed herself when she got out pointing to her reflection, and whispering "You are a rock. WE ARE NOT SLEEPING WITH HIM! I KNOW YOUR TRICKS, MISSY. WE ARE NOT PLAYING THIS GAME!" When she was finished, she came out of the bathroom slowly with just a towel on. Her eyes rested on Morthos and paused for a second before she stiffened, "I..need to borrow some clothes...To sleep in."

Jax almost spit out her wine when she heard Morthos' ghost whisper. Yay...can't wait to have that conversation. She spoke up in response to Morthos' comment on the food, "Yeah...Mom has always been a good cook. Hence, why I couldn't stop eating."

Her mother gave a small smile but was still very upset. Ophelia and Morthos came back a few moments later and the mood was sour. Everyone was awkwardly eating apart from Ophelia and Mom who each had their glasses of fresh blood. Jax reached up to rub the bandages on half her face before she spoke up breaking the silence, "Well that was a lot. Perhaps we should go."

Edgar stood up, "No. I don't want you both to leave after a fight and then we don't get to see you again for a while. Right, Lenora?"

Lenora looked at him for a few minutes before giving a composed nod, "Right. It has been too long already."

Jax looked at them then at Ophelia, it was up to her if she wanted to stay or leave. After a slight nod, Jax spoke evenly, "Fine. For the sake of saving this night. I will allow Dad to tell the story of...prom night."

Edgar almost spits out his food, as Lenora shut her eyes placing her hands on her forehead to hide a slight giggle. She looked at Ophelia, knowing that she would understand this sacrifice of character she was giving away.

Edgar tried to speak with a smile, "Are you sure...honey."

Jax picked up the wine bottle and filled her cup, "Yes. I am ready...go ahead."

Edgar nodded with glee, "Alright. So the night began as per usual. Ophelia and Jax looked gorgeous in their dresses. In fact I think we have a picture." He stood up and went to the living room, coming back with a framed photo of Jax in this long pink sparkly dress with braces and Ophelia in a shimmering blue dress that framed her small figure gorgeously. He handed it around before continuing, "Now..Ophelia didn't have a date for the prom but Jax did. Eric Gleeson, head of the chess team."

Jax blinked, "Also...the A/V club."

Edgar nodded, "Now we did the whole she-bang, got the limo..invited some of Jax's and Ophelia's friends over for pictures then let them go."

Jax sipped her wine slowly, as her dad continued,"Four hours later we get a call, to come to the school immediately and pick up our children. So we get there and Ophelia and Jax are sitting in front of the principal's office looking insane. Ophelia's blue dress was singed all the way up the side and the front parts of her hair were dyed vibrant green, while Jax had lost her dress completely and was wearing a Football Jersey with half of her hair shaved off...hahaha...including...hahaha...including...an eyebrow...gone."

Jax nodded solemnly as her dad burst into tears of laughter, "Lenora's face...She was mortified! Anyway's we find out later what happened. So apparently as we found out when we got home, that as soon as they got to the prom Mr. Gleeson and a few of his A/V buddies snuck in what they thought was some weed. Jax and Ophelia partook...like FOOLS...and came to realize what they smoked was not weed but a full on Amarythian Witch Hazel.."

Jax sunk into her chair as he continued, knowing full well that she was the one who encouraged Ophelia to try it out with her. Edgar spoke evenly, "So after partaking in this ILLEGAL bad behavior the A/V club and the girls thought it would be a super idea to break into the chemistry and potion's lab to have with the boys. From what I remember Jax and Gleeson had an argument on who could create a Cambodian invisibility potion quicker. Anyways they had such a contest and Jax used three different ingredients that she needed and the damn thing exploded. SHE ALSO USED HER SISTER AS A HUMAN SHIELD hence Ophelia's hair and dress."

Jax gave Ophelia a smile and whispered a silent, "Sorry..."

Edgar continued,"So with Ophelia's dress a mess Jax decided that they needed to get her a new one. So they along with Gleeson, Rav Jones, Reggie Axelton, and Mandy Pinkers stole Principal Alquin's cruiser and drove without a license through the school's football field towards the mall. The prom crew headed inside to a dress store where the boys and the three girls thought it would be fun to have a dare off. A DARE OFF! During which Mandy got a tattoo that said, "AMERICAN BADASS," Ophelia stole three pairs of male underpants from three seperate mannequins, from three seperate stores, and Jax got half of her hair shaved off! Gleeson ended up with nipple piercings, Rav ended up mooning the 'All American Girl's Doll Shop' and Reggie drank 49 litre's of nacho cheese. Now you would think that the night would end there but no..."

He continued barely containing his laughter, "NO...OUR JAX HERE...HAD ONE MORE DARE..."

Jax looked at Morthos pursing her lips, "I...am not proud of this moment.."

"Well, why not Jax??? You seemed very proud of yourself when you ran naked through the school in a football helmet yelling, 'SUCK MY BALLS! PRINCIPAL ALQUIN!'"

Suddenly Lenora burst into fits of laughter as did Edgar. Jax finished the wine, before looking over at Ophelia with a smile, "It was one hell of a night though...sister."

She lifted her glass towards her sister waiting for a clink.

[color=39b54a][/color][color=39b54a][/color][color=00746b][/color]Jax elbowed Morthos, "No. I'm sure you've seen the worst." She gave him a small smile before turning towards the kitchen her thoughts on the half-naked teenage boys that were still probably up in her bedroom and the pictures from after her...experience. She really hoped mom burned those, "MOM! do you have any wine?"

Her mother motioned to the dining room before turning to the others about starting dinner. Jax came back with the bottle pouring herself and then motioning to Morthos and Roxas if they wanted some. When she served whoever wanted one she filled her own glass to the top, keeping the bottle close as she started to eat. It wasn't long before she was back in high school again, moving her food around her plate listening as Mom started to berate and belittle Ophelia with her father remaining awkwardly silent. Jax ate quietly, holding her tongue as her mom just harped and harped on her. Jax looked down at her own clothes as her mother reprimanded Ophelia on her outfit. If anyone was coated in blood she would make the top of the list but of course, Lenora didn't mutter a word to her about it, just Ophelia. Always Ophelia. She reached for her glass sucking back the wine in gulps before Lenora started to talk about Roxas. Jax placed the glass down preparing to defend her sister and Roxas for that matter for the hundredth time when suddenly Ophelia went off. Jax sat back down, watching in amazement as Ophelia for the first time stand up for herself against her mother. Her father, on the other hand, was starting to stand up to say something, but Jax placed her hand on his arm leaning in quietly and whispering, "No. You chose to be silent. Then be silent."

When Ophelia was finished Jax stuck her fork in her food and finished her meal before Roxas took Ophelia into the other room. After Lenora remained silent for a few more minutes she started to speak quietly, "I do care...I love you both. You know that. Right, Jax?"

Jax stood up and raised an eyebrow letting out an exhausted sigh, "Yes. I am aware of that fact, but I'm sure Ophelia can't say the same. I just don't understand why you are so hard on her. All the time!"

Lenora crossed her arms looking at Jax impishly, "Because I expect her to do well. I expect her to strive to be as best as she can and to make smart, intelligent choices. She needs to be better than us and to pick better people to be around."

Jax looked down at her hands," Roxas is a good person. I admit that that is hypocritical coming from me. Shut it Morthos, but he is. He has been a perfect gentleman and I along with Ophelia am honored that he is on our team. You talk about him being trash...that is such a joke when the only trash I see is your attitude."

Suddenly Dad stood up, "That's enough Jax. I think your mother has heard enough."

Jax turned around, "Oh yeah she has had enough, but you haven't heard anything yet. YOU JUST SIT THERE AND LET HER GET AWAY WITH TREATING PEOPLE LIKE TRASH AND YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. YOU AND I ARE NO BETTER THAN HER, BECAUSE WE SIT BACK AND LET IT HAPPEN..."

Dad spoke up,"ENOUGH JAX. You think being a parent is easy. You think it's easy watching one of your daughters grow up scared and shy from the world while the other was..."

Jax growled,"WHAT? YOUR OTHER DAUGHTER WAS WHAT?"

Her dad spoke evenly his expression blatant,"Broken."

Jax paused the room going silent, as she pulled back her eyes turning to the wine bottle, "I wasn't broken.."

Her dad spoke evenly,"How else would you describe it, Jax. You wouldn't eat, you wouldn't speak, you completely isolated your sister and you kept cutting yourself and drawing blood on the walls. Your mother and I were so scared we would wake up and you would be dead. Do you think that was easy for us to watch? DO YOU THINK IT WAS EASY FOR US TO SEE THAT WE COULDN'T PROTECT YOU. You won't even tell us what happened."

"ENOUGH...ENOUGH...enough." Jax was obviously not handling this situation well, her body shaking as she shoved her hands in her hair,"NO. THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME. THIS ISN'T ABOUT WHAT I WENT THROUGH. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. Okay...I'm...fine...I...I'm going to go check on Ophelia."

She headed towards the kitchen, pausing in the hallway to breathe her eyes closing as a shiver moved up her spine. Control yourself. Control yourself. It's not a time for you to fall off the wagon. Roxas and Ophelia need me to be here for them. So quit feeling sorry for yourself and go make sure they are okay. That's what you do. Make sure everyone's okay. She opened her eyes and pushed back her hair aand her emotions before walking in on Ophelia and Roxas, an overly-confident fake smile slapped onto her face,"Hey...Are you guys alright? That was intense." She walked over placing her hands on Roxas' shoulders, "Roxas don't listen to her...she's nuts. She doesn't even know you. Remember how I felt when I first met you. Now I think you're semi-okay." She stuck out her tongue before turning to her sister, "And you...I have been waiting years for you to crack. I can't believe you just said that to mom. Holy shit!" She gave her sister a hug before speaking evenly,"Okay. I am going to go save Morthos from the others. You guys take your time before coming back. Promise we don't have to stay long."

She headed back into the dining room, putting a hand up to silence her father, "They are going to be back in a minute. So let's just finish dinner and not get into it." She moved back to her seat, really fucking exhausted now and turned speaking solely to Morthos,"So...uh...how's the food?"

Intergalactic Space Adventurers- [ISA]

Ursa looked down at the mapping table pensively, moving her finger over a few planets before resting on one, "Here. Didn't we have reports that Theonia was attacked? What do you say, Anna?"

An older woman with two dark black eyes and zebra striped skin looked up from her computer, "Yeah, from what I hear the planet has been under attack for months, but casualties are basically ziltch...Plus...they are known for their Ragar Fuel mines. Earth government has been trying to work out a mining deal for years, but the locals won't budge. The plans were put on hold when they started to be attacked though."

Ursa smirked, "So what your saying is it's a planet with free fuel, probably wealthy goods and it's completely abandoned. Well, I suppose we should respect the recently dead and bypass it for Agrathea our regular port."

There was a brief silence around the room before Ursa let out a laugh, "Hah...Just kidding. Fuck the dead. Set a course Takashi, and Mac prepare the shovels for the men if they want a take of what we find, they are digging for it. EVEN YOU METE!"

A fat little goblin-looking, creature, poked his head around his small seat/scooter, his voice a harsh squeak,"Fuck you. I'm on Jenny Craig's Goblanax diet. I already lost 3 pounds."

Ursa laughed walking over to the corner of the cockpit where a small ledge by the window was suited with a small green plaid pillow,"Three pounds. Look at you go girl. Work it honey bear, work it!"

She sat down on the ledge and picked up her current book, the paper slightly worn and rare. Paper books were banned eon's ago, but Ursa couldn't get enough of them. She had more kredits then she could handle with her smuggling business but she didn't see much use in paying for luxury when she never really traveled anywhere luxurious. She did, however, spend quite a fine buckeroo on books. Her library was her treasure, taking her to new worlds everytime she opened a page. She read whatever came her way to, whether it be Dalai Maroon's, 'Philosophical Understanding of a Garbage Cruiser' or Morticai Tim's 'History of the Eight Moon's of Glamora.' she would eat it up. Her favorite was fiction though and the one she had sitting on her lap was a fantasy western with a classic cowboy heading off into danger to save the galactic princess Enchantra from the Robots of Gaboon. She was just getting into a juicy romantic part in the novel where Leroy Hawkins was going to kiss Enchantra when suddenly Takashi spoke up, "We are just a few miles off now, Coop."

Ursa sighed, closing the novel with a soft thud as she hopped down and headed towards Anna, "Is the planet fine for oxygen levels or will we need the suits?"

Anna shrugged,"I think we should be fine. Theonia Z17 has a large botanical inventory that sustains high oxygen levels on the planet, even with the attacks there are still many remote areas that haven't been touched. Only cities have been hit."

"Which city are we landing on?" Ursa asked casually, looking through the large window to see the planet growing larger as they came up within range of it.

Anna spoke evenly,"Ozloron? I think. It's hard to tell with our camera's. I haven't been to this planet before but the map coordinates match with the GPS."

Ursa nodded placing her hands on her hips, remaining quiet as the ship descended on the planet. It took some time to find an area that was flat enough to land, but eventually, they came across a spot and headed out onto the planet's surface. Ursa walked out, looking around at what once would have been a beautiful city, but was nothing more than rubble, broken glass and bones. The smell of smoke, burnt wood and blood filled the area, but also a tinge of fresh forest and running water could be identified a few miles off. Ursa took a few steps forward, kicking a few of the stones away to find a small burlap doll, set with one button eye and a leaf. She picked it up, a sigh leaving her body, "Fucking assholes.." Before she could let the real tragedy of this planet get to her she turned to her crew and chucked the doll aside, "Alright. Take a shovel, collect whatever you can sell and if you find some fuel cans you get 300 extra credits. Find a barrel you get 500. We can only stay here for a few hours before the Armada is going to start sending out tracker ships. Now start digging bitches."

She headed back towards the ship when Mac placed his hand on her shoulder,"Where are you going?"

She looked at him, raising her tattooed eyebrow,"To read."

He shook his head,"Nope. Take a shovel and get busy, you don't work for free on this ship."

She gave a half-hearted retort as he handed her a shovel and pushed her towards the rubble,"But...But...I'm the captain. I get the privilege of putting my crew to work. Ow...Hey, this is bullshit.."

Mac shook his head, "You sound like a child. You work for Jerry still Coop. Which means you pull your load you lazy bugger. Now get to it."

Ursa dropped her lower jaw then pulled off her jacket so that her tattooed shoulders were exposed to the elements. She muttered to herself,"You're a child...What's the point of being captain if you can't tell people what to do..might as well just call me Cooper the crewmate who doesn't shut up."

The crew spoke up in unision, "SHUT UP!" They all began laughing as she sighed shaking her head, striking her shovel in the rubble and started digging.

-------------------------------------------------

After a few hours, Ursa was covered in sweat along with most of her crew, and all they found was a few high-end statuettes, paintings, and three tanks of fuel. Takashi walked over to Ursa with some water, "Here. I've given some to the men to. The stream actually has some pretty clean water to drink."

Ursa thanked him before downing the cool water quickly when suddenly a large tan colored crew member with aquamarine eyes and long black hair ran up, "Hey, we think we found something. Dill and some of the other boys that have been to the planet before think they could find where the bank is located. We used some of our larger unearthing tools to take out some rubble and we found a bunker. We figured you'd want to head in first."

Ursa handed her shovel and water to Takashi,"The bank? OH HELL YEAH! Show me where it is Darian!"

She headed over moving towards an awkwardly shaped hole that led deep into the rubble, a few of her men crowded the entrance but weren't getting too close. She followed Darian into the hand-made tunnel, a crew member handing her a flashlight as they came to a sealed door. She touched the cool metal, knocking once before placing an ear to it to see if she heard anything. Nothing. She pulled back, "Anyone thinks it was a good idea to go grab some hammers or the lock picking tools?"

Everyone gave her sheepish looks, "I really question your guys' initiative sometimes."

She looked at the door for a few minutes before moving over to chuck a few stones away from the wall beside it. She knocked lightly in a few areas before she took a step back and pulled out her gun, shooting the wall beside the door in an even circle. After the shooting had ceased she turned on her heel and kicked the area she had shot a crack echoing through her little tunnel. She paused before kicking again when suddenly the wall collapsed leaving a dark black hole in its wake. Ursa took a breath before taking out her other gun and pointing it into the room,"Honey, Momma's home! Hope no ones naked in there! Wouldn't want to be surprised."

A deathly silence was her response. She shrugged and headed into the room, her men following in behind her, using their lights to expose the room. No gold. No cash. No fuel. Just a few beds, water, and a BOOKSHELF! Ursa squealed, "We struck gold!!!! Dill, you rock!"

The man who was green all over with little bumps covering his body blushed purple, "Awe! Thanks Ursa."

She ran over to the shelf picking up a few scrolls and books, as the men sighed, irritated that there was no kredits or jewelry to be seen "Take all of these and bring them to my quarters. Gods, they're gorgeous. I have a few already but we can sell these copies on the black market for a few kredits."

Darian and a few of the other crew members grabbed the rest of the books and headed out of the room, with Ursa in tow, cradling the books lovingly back towards the ship. After a few more hours Mac called the search off and everyone headed back in so they could blast off towards the next port. There they could rest up before they went to drop off the crystals to the buyer. Another job completed. Ursa was exhausted and smelled like a water buffalo from the planet Aquaria, so she figured a shower was well due. Once they were up in the air, she decided to turn in for a few hours, the excitement of the day wearing thin. She headed down the hallway towards her room when Anna came forward heading towards the kitchens. Ursa walked a few feet before she stopped turning, "Hey Anna."

Anna stopped and turned to look at her,"Yes?"

Ursa gave a wide smile before walking over,"Thanks for all your help today. It was just our luck that you visited here before!"

Anna took a step back, "No problem. I help where I can."

Ursa looked down towards the ground itching her neck "Of course...Problem is, Anna wasn't the one who traveled here before. Dill did." suddenly she pulled out her gun and aimed it at Anna's head her expression turning serious,"Look asshole. I don't know who you are, or how you got through my radars, but if you don't show me your real face quickly, I am gonna give you a new one."

The officer spoke evenly, "We have apprehended the last few wolves, but we weren't prepared for the clean-up."

Jax breathed out, "Honestly..neither were we. I was expecting a few wolves, not a bloody pack."

The officer laughed, "Well on behalf of the town, we appreciate the help from SPA."

Jax felt a warmth move over her, "Thank you. My sister and I are locals here so we are honored to come back and help where we can. As well as the rest of the team!"

After her final goodbyes with the doctors and the officers, she headed back towards the room to hear her father going on about his war triumphs eagerly, "Then I lifted up the hammer and brought it down to create this crack in the earth. It was like the power of Thor came over me.."

Jax barged in, copying him word for word, "And your mother couldn't resist! I love that story! So we are all good to go to the house if you guys are ready."

-----------------------------------------

After a slightly awkward drive to the house, where Jax fell asleep again on Morthos this time, they headed out towards the woods where they came to a small dilapidated cottage. It wasn't a large home but it was cozy and had an air of an old-world feel. Jax woke up after the car stopped and she sat up stretching slightly, "Oh...sorry. Told you. Travelling tuckers me out. DAD STOP WITH THE LOOK! WE ARE JUST FRIENDS."

She hopped out of the car, rolling her eyes as she looked over at mom, who came up to her slowly, "You really should consider him, Jax. You aren't getting any younger and we don't want to see you go back to the way you were after..you know."

Jax looked back at the group then to the ground, "I know. I will pick someone, eventually...I promise. Someone strong."

Jax's dad came up and slapped her on the shoulder, "Let's not think of that for now. Mom's planned something delicious for dinner."

Jax followed her parents inside looking over to Ophelia who looked like she was going to be sick. She let the boys go ahead of her and hung back giving her sister a look, "It's gonna be fine. All of us have your back she won't say anything while we are here. I promise.
Suddenly she heard laughter and headed into the house, looking around in abject horror, at the pictures staring her in the face. Ophelia's sad yet withdrawn expressions in small pink tutu's, beautiful dresses and recital awards on the mantel. Those were beautiful and right beside them were pictures of Jax with braces, Jax at fat camp, and the trophy Jax won for eating 22 corndogs at the fair. Her favorite picture was both her and her sister one Halloween as a princess and a cowgirl. Ophelia looked like she was on the verge of tears and Jax was laughing so hard that one of her cowhide vests was going to pop off. Jax spoke evenly, "I...I can't believe you still have these...treasured moments up for the world to see."

She looked over at Morthos with three different shades of red colouring her cheeks,"Um...so..welcome to the house!!!"

Intergalactic Space Adventurers- [ISA]

A set of worn black Converse All-stars hit the metal grate hard as a young man walked down through the market of Amradan, in the Maxos Galaxy. He carried a large sack on one of his shoulders, the obnoxious load moving past the crowds of vendors, and patron's from across the galaxy selling items from their homelands. He passed by a few prostitutes from Aquaria, who shouted at him to rustle their gills. He kept moving his yellow eyes focused ahead, barely darting past a few men arguing about which of the small fighting robots would take the win in front of them. A neon sign hovered a few feet ahead of him, he paused his "Tony-Treo's Pizza Hutz" hat tilting up so that he could read, "Rachet's Grotto." He smirked ever so slightly before walking forward, his grip loosening on the sack as he came up to the joint. A large black man with metal dreads and a goatee was walking towards the young man in tow with a young green-haired reptile man from Terrar. They were laughing at an inside joke, just outside the grotto. The young man tried to step around them but the green haired guy stepped back and the young man was knocked to the side, his sack falling to the ground, his voice was gruff and a little off, "HEY MAN! WATCH WHAT YOUR FREAKING DOING! Some of us have some work to do."

The young man picked up the bag as the large black man in dreads spoke up, "Yeah, being the colony's ditch bitch! Carrying Aderthal crystals to the ship are you."

The young man flipped him the bird then proceeded towards the docks where the large resource cruisers were at bay. He wasn't alone either. Many other young men with sacks were crowding the docks moving towards the headship. The young man rushed forward, getting into line so he could dump his load with the rest of the crystals on the Queen Anne's Batalia. When he finished he ran out, wiping his hands as he headed to one of the black-suited soldiers with a clipboard,"How many left?"

The soldier in charge eyed the young man with cold eyes beneath his black helmet,"Number?"

The young man grunted, "Two-Twenty-Eight."

The soldier, used his finger to scroll through the virtual page when another soldier came up, "Just checked the Eastern Port. No sign of smugglers."

The head soldier smirked, "Of course not. You think any smugglers would dare try to steal the Queen's crystals. Not even Cooper would have the balls..to take on our armada."

The young man itched at his neck, "So I can have my kredits then?"

The head soldier turned to the young man and backhanded him across the face. The young boy took a step back as the soldier growled, "Do not interrupt your superiors whilst they are talking. You are done for the day and I will be taking half your kredits you earned today for your insolence."

The young boys yellow eyes turned to the soldier, no rage or anger visible behind them, "I..I...I need those kredits..."

The man took a step forward and the young man stepped back, "Fine...fine..I'll take half. I am sorry for my in..sold ance."

The man shook his head, "Idiot...here..take your money and be on your way." He released the Kredits into the young man's hand and the young man smiled,"It was nice doing business with you."

The young man turned heading into the crowd. As he walked, he removed Tony-Treo's pizza hat, a cascade of teal green hair fell onto his shoulders. He unzipped his jacket, dropping it into one of the rogue garbage bags to expose a white crop top that hugged a pair of firm breasts and a gun holster holding two Beretta 92FS Inox "9mm Sword Cutlass'" which hugged her armpits lightly. She kept walking a young blue child with two antennas running up to hand her a worn black leather jacket with a skull and crossbones etched into the back. She slid it over her shoulders before pulling out a pair of sunglasses which she plugged over her yellow eyes. She rubbed the head of the little kid and gave him the kredits before she moved through the crowd into an alleyway. She found a ladder a few feet away and climbed up a building so she could arrive on the roof. She looked around quietly enjoying the quiet as she eyed the two moons over on the horizon. She took a few moments before she walked over the roof, moving over a few other rooftops before she came to an air grate, that was partly open, the wind sliding through it's partly open doorway. She took a step forward and slid down the air shaft, her shoulders and shoes hitting the edges of the metal as she moved towards the ground.

Suddenly the metal disappeared and she hit the dirt ground with a soft thud. She stood up, looking around at the real market of the city. The underground tunnels were well lit and covered in bright lanterns. Vendors with forbidden gold, weaponry and, even alien parts screamed and bartered right below the high streets of Amaran. Prostitutes of a lower status were half-naked and dancing around drunkards who weren't even hiding the fact they were jerking off. The girl walked forward, a smirk lifting one of her lips as she headed towards the port o thieves. She licked her lips, her smile widening as the S.S. Ranger stood in front of her, a black devil among the other cheap and overpriced cruisers hidden within the underground port/cave a few meters over and under the real docks. The black man with the dreads from earlier turned giving her a cheeky smirk, "Hey ditch bitch, we are almost loaded up."

The small little green guy came over and spoke evenly, "Fucking morons didn't even double check the zip cards on the boys. Our boys completed the switch without even a fucking problem."

The girl laughed and came to fist bump the man with the dreads, "That's because when you have your nose shoved so high up your own ass you can't smell when snakes enter the garden. Did the men get their rewards, Mac."

Mac, the black man, nodded, "Of course. Also the bonus you added."

The girl nodded, "Takashi, get the engine running and let's burn outta here."

Mac frowned, "Cooper...you didn't do it did you. What did Jerry say about smuggling! The less they know about the smuggler the better."

The girl walked up the grate into the ship, as Takashi, the little reptile dude, ran ahead of her down a hallway towards the cockpit. She turned giving a cocky grin, "Yeah but what's the point of fucking over the man when you don't get to shove it down their throat."

She stuck out her tongue before she turned back around into the depths of her ship.

A few seconds later the Ranger was up and leaving port, cloaks and shields hiding it as they came up behind a large freight ship carrying Amradan garbage towards open space. Just as they breached the planets airlock, the head soldier on the dock was called towards the beautiful cruiser with a shout. He ran forward as one of the soldiers lifted up one of the bags, "Sir, one of the men noticed a hole in one of the bags and opened it to find this."

He handed over a pamphlet for Tony-Treo's Pizza Hut, a note etched in green ink on the back,

"Here's a Free Pizza for the Aderthal crystals. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Ursa Cooper."

The general commanded the men to cut open the sacks, as granite like blue rocks fell to the steel floor, he let out one long angry scream of pure rage at the realization of his mistake, "GOD DAMN SMUGGLIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGG BITTTTTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Intergalactic Space Adventurers- [ISA]

LET'S DOOOOOO ITTTTTTTT!!!!!

Intergalactic Space Adventurers- [ISA]

Name: Ursa Cooper
Age: 24

Picture:

Hider

Homeworld: Mars

Homegalaxy:Milky Way

Skills: Ursa is smart, well read, inventive and street savvy. She isn't a strong talker, but when she works out a plan or strategy it usually is foolproof. Aside from her personal traits, she has incredibly proficient aim when it comes to shooting. Whether it be a bow and arrow or a gun, she is a great shot. She also is an impeccable pilot who is very familiar with hyperspace lanes, hidden spaceports, and mapping out deep space.

Bio: Ursa was born on Mars in the small town of Clint under Maria and Edgar Cooper. Edgar was a Mecha-engineer for an intergalactic space agency called 'Brixton Weaponry.' Maria was a local nurse and med-tec. For a time they lived a usual life until Ursa turned seven and came home to find her parents gone, their clothes and close belongings missing as well. After a week of being alone, a neighbor came over and Ursa was put into the foster care system, moving to different planets until she was 14 where she ran away from her foster parents and snuck aboard a ship, hoping to get dropped off on a spaceport. She was caught though, by an old smuggler by the name of Jerry Wilkins. For the next couple years, she was taken on as a young apprentice/crewmate and learned how to smuggle, shoot and steal. Four years later Jerry gave one of his ships and a crew to Ursa and with that she took off becoming one of the largest smugglers in the underworld, smuggling millions of dollars, food, resources and people through the different planets all while escaping the authorities who have set a bounty for 10,000,000 kredits.

Personality: Awkward. Ursa talks way too often, usually as a means to get herself out of a jam. Whilst on her ship you wouldn't peg her as the captain but rather a deck hand or crew mate because she usually has her head stuck in a book. Most people undermine or underestimate her due to her look and quirky personality but she understands people very well and has a habit of saying what is exactly on her mind whether it be rude or ignorant. She also has her own life code. She doesn't like killing people or fighting, but she will if necessary, she also doesn't see anything wrong with smuggling and feels no regret for who she works for or what she does.

Weaponry:

Her Betty's

Ursa carries two beautiful Beretta's Specifically Beretta 92FS Inox "9mm Sword Cutlass". She mostly uses them for intimidation but if necessary she has introduced her girl's to a few unlucky people who dared to cross her or get in her way.

Other: She has a few homes on various space outposts and her number one ship is the S.S. Ranger named after the ship of her favorite pirate. Charles Vane.

Jax shook her head as Morthos reached over and shook her mother's hand after he chatted with her father,"I cannot believe this is happening."

She was just about to interrupt when Ophelia moved the curtain aside and came into the room. Jax braced herself watching patiently as Ophelia and her mother had their retort. She could immediately tell she would have to put on her big sister boots on tonight. Jax looked over at her dad who was staring daggers towards Roxas, before suggesting that they sign out of the doctor's office and go for dinner. She breathed out lightly, "I will go see what I can do with the doctors and give an official statement to the police, but if you guys start pulling shit with Ophelia or any member of my team, we will head back to the hotel understand!"

She ended her statement looking at her mom, but it was her dad who spoke, "Don't speak to us like that Jax. We are your parents and we deserve respect. That being said..we will try to behave if that young man can keep his hands to himself, right sweetie?"

He leaned over kissing his wife on the cheek, watching Ophelia's curtain angrily. Jax rolled her eyes before turning to Morthos, and pulling him aside, "Look I have to go deal with the cops and the doctors, if you keep my dad and mom busy so they don't kill Roxas and piss off Ophelia enough to run out of here screaming, I will owe you big."

She looked back at her parents before whispering in his ear, "Anything you want."

She gave him a small kiss on the cheek before heading out the door. Jax's dad walked over giving Morthos a big smile, "So how is my future son in law? Morthos is it? Some very interesting colouring you got there? I haven't come face to face with someone like you since 83. Met a guy named Griswald who was part demon part goat. He married a centaur named Angela. Do you remember Angela sweets?"

He saw her disdainful look and shrugged, "Angela came over with dirty hooves and the missus here hasn't forgiven her for it since." He paused looking Morthos over and clapping him on the back, "So...are we gonna get any grandkids soon! I really miss having little ones around."

Jax sat quietly in the waiting room with a cup of hot coffee cupped in her hand. Part of her face, including her left eye was bandaged, stitching holding up the scar beneath it. Cosmetically she would never look the same, but luckily the eye was saved. She stared into the dark liquid thinking back to the last bit of the fight. Morthos protecting her from a wolf and declaring she was 'his.' Ophelia tearing the rest of the wolves a new one. She let out a sigh and sat up looking over at Morthos softly, not knowing what to say. She grimaced, taking a sip of the coffee before she placed it on the table before her, not liking what she had to do. She stood up and stretched slightly before turning back about to say something. She paused, shutting her eyes/eye and then spoke evenly, a slight bit of fear leaking into her words,"Look I appreciate you saving me Morthos and I care for you very very deeply okay... but...I don't belong to anyone. I'm not your girlfriend, you aren't mine and I am not yours. Got it."

She opened her eyes and changed her tone, "Look I don't want to fight with you or let our relationship overshadow what we did. I still like you. I want to have fun with you, but 'mine' is a little too close to the love boundary that I absolutely will not cross."

She walked back to pick up her coffee and downed the remains, a slight burn moving down her throat before she moved over to lean down in front of him, "However as said...Thank you for saving me, it was incredibly brave and very very sexy."

She leaned up and gave him a small kiss on the cheek before she stood up and crossed her arms looking up at the clock, "He should be up any time now I am thinking."

Suddenly a booming voice comes up behind Jax, "JAX? IS THAT YOU UNDER ALL THAT BLOOD!"

Jax turned to see her dad walking into the room with mom in tow. She walked over smiling, "Dad? Is that you under all that hair?"

He gave her a wide smile and tousled her hair before giving her a light hug. She then turned to mom and gave her a warm, but confident smile, "Mom. Looking absolutely gorgeous as usual."

Mom looked over her with a neutral expression, before giving a light smile, "Did you expect anything less?"

Jax rolled her eyes, but laughed, "Of course not. It's nice seeing you guys. Oh this is Morthos!"

She turned waving over to him, "He's my.."

Dad interrupted holding out his hand, "Your boyfriend! Oh, thank god we were really worried you would continue with that 'I will be single until I find the strongest man alive' charade you put up. Welcome to the FAMILY, SON!"

Jax blushed three tones of red, "DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is not my boyfriend. We are friends."

Dad blinked, whilst mom looked at Morthos evenly, "Oh okay Jax..whatever you say." He shook Morthos' hand, "Take care of my daughter."

Jax slapped her legs in frustration.
