n**'s PoV

As they entered atmo, Taran sat down in the copilot seat. "Mind if I drive after all?"

"By all means!" n** said, releasing controls over to Taran.

Hearing a sound coming from the storage bay, n** got up and went to investigate. She had barely gone down the steps to the hall that led to the storage bay when she was confronted by Renstok. Simultaneously using magic to seal the door leading up to the cabin and transforming her clothes into body armor, n** found herself nearly overwhelmed by the Renstok.

Before she could be forced to the ground by Renstok hitting her on the back with their fists and stun sticks, n** threw them off with an explosion of power. Twirling and bending like in a ballet, n** used her katanas to kill her enemies. She had killed ten before she had a moment to catch her breath.

Where are they coming from!? n** thought. She could feel her darker side coming to the surface as her hunger grew, but n** stove to keep it down. The last thing I need is to go bezerk from hunger.

Distracted as she was, n** did not see the Renstok that had crept along the ceiling. Drawing an electrodagger, it dropped on n**'s back and drove the weapon through a c***k in n**'s armor. Screaming as the electricity surged through her, n** dropped to her knees. Yanking the electrodagger out, the Renstok shoved the unconscious n** face down.

Turning, the Renstok took a step towards the cabin when a white light suddenly flashed behind him.

"Heh heh heh. You think a little bit of electricity will stop me?"

Turning, the Renstok saw that n**'s body armor had disappeared but for some reason her hair was hanging about her face--which he couldn't see. Slowly, n** lifted her face and grinned. n** was hungry and she felt it was time to feed. Besides the one Renstok in front of her, n** sensed another four behind her--and someone in the cabin...

Xink's PoV

At the same time as the Dragonfly was attacked, the Renstok broke through Nerissa's defenses and created a portal into Dragon's basement.

"Stay behind me Xink!" Xangord yelled, lashing out with one of her smoke whips. At the last second before it hit any of the Renstok, Xangord changed the composition of it to turn into a blade of ice. Lashing out with the other, Xangord had it blaze with fire as she drove others back.

After making sure that Mokona was safe, Xink slammed his back against his mother's and fought more Renstok that surged through a second portal. Yet something was wrong. Every time Xink scored a direct hit, his hook swords bounced harmlessly off the Renstok. Leaping and twisting in the air, Xink looked about the cramped basement. He saw that he and Xangord were outnumbered. Before he could formulate a plan, a Renstok wielding a trident surged out of the throng that Xangord was keeping back.

"MOM!" Xink yelled, landing and running forward.

As eight Renstok tackled him, Xink saw that his mother had been fatally distracted as the trident pierced her stomach. Roaring in triumph, the Renstok drove Xangord backward until she slammed into a bookshelf.

As the shelf toppled over on Xangord, Xink yelled again as a tranquilizer was injected into his neck.

My PoV
"They WHAT!?" I bellowed.

"They got through," Nissa said calmly. "I am s--"

Squinting as the med deck lights suddenly grew bright, I had to blink several times even though I was wearing sunglasses after the light flashed and disappeared.

"Why am I in a kimono?" Wynn asked.



"I don't think that's the important question Wynn," I said, looking around. "The important question is where are we?"

"And these are robes not kimonos," Shalimar said.
