ORPERATION ASSISTANCE

Okay, right now, I've got a major writers block which has temporarily prevented me from adding my 1st lemon in 'Death Station'. So I've put that on hold.

In the meantime, I have decided to start with this. This came to me in a dream on my Easter holiday in Somerset.

This takes place somewhere during Seed of Love: Part Seven by XT-421

All characters in this belong to, again, my good friend XT-421. Enjoy.

CHAPTER 1:

MISSION BRIEF

The sun hung high in the sky on the planet of Mobius. Amongst this planet, was an airborne base, at least 1km in length. This was the base of Laputa.

In its main room, the residents, all of whom were anthropomorphic animals, gathered into the massive courtyard where several meeting had been held.

As the crowd hushed down a bit, Stephen, a grey coloured hedgehog and the leader of Laputa, using his almighty wings, leapt from a raised platform behind the crowd and swooped over majestically to a small podium where a microphone was automatically raised from beneath the floor.

The crowd awed and cheered as Stephan swooped over them, giving some of them high-fives on the way.

"My good friends." The hedgehog spoke into the mike, his voice amplified by the large speakers beside him. "I'd like to ask how you are this fine day; however, there is an emergency at hand!"

The crowd shuffled in their seats slightly as thoughts of what type of emergencies entered their heads. However, Stephen continued.

"Now..." Stephen tapped a small button on his earpiece. When he did, a projector flickered to life and a graph was projected to the left of Stephen. "We all know that everyone loves luxury, right?" The crowd nodded. "Well, our main luxury source is metal. Steel, iron, aluminium, that sort of stuff."

"And?" A member of the crowd shouted out.

"Well, I'll show you." Stephen said as his rubbery, elastic index finger elongated. "This is our luxury count over the past month..." He said as a blue bar was raised from the base of the graph, his finger following the bar. "This shows that, on average, 87% of you constantly used a luxury item everyday. This..." A second red bar, directly next to the blue one, was raised from the base of the graph and went much higher than the blue bar. "This is the amount of metal that we've had to use to give you these luxuries!"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, shocked to find that so much metal had been wasted on themselves.

"What are we gonna do?" A member of the crowd cried out.

"That is an excellent question!" Stephen said coolly. "And an excellent question like that... deserves an excellent answer. And yet, the answer is so simple. I'm gonna need seven teams of ten to go out and get some more metal for the base! I will be sending those teams to the six best metal mines on Mobius."

The crowd were silent at this offer. It seemed like no-one wanted to take it. Stephen sighed heavily. "I'll be using the teleporters." He said in a sing-song voice. Hands shot up into the air. They had all used the teleporters, and had all loved it.

Stephen counted the hands. There was enough for the whole 7 groups. 'Perfect!' He thought to himself. "Okay, it seems like there are enough for the teams. I'll leave you to discuss matters of who's in charge, what you'll be taking, and what not." With that, Stephen sprouted his wings and took off, flapping them. "Oh! And one more thing..." He stopped to make the announcement. "Sarah..." He turned to a blue hedgehog. "I'd like a word with you for just a moment." With that, he flew through a small opening in the wall, leaving Sarah to catch up with him.

Stephen arrived at his room and saw Sarah leaning back against the wall with her arms crossed, tapping her foot and smiling at him. "So, what's up?" She asked.

Stephen gave her a quick kiss on the lips and entered the room, Sarah close behind. "Have a seat." Stephen told Sarah, who obeyed and sat on a leather chair. Sarah watched Stephen walk over to the window and stare at the sun.

He took a deep breath. "The truth is... there aren't seven metal mines, there are only six." Sarah stood up from where she was sat.

"Then, why'd you say that there were seven mines?"

Stephen turned and gazed into her deep emerald green eyes. He embraced her body, stretching his limbs so that Sarah was completely sealed. "I need you to do a special job for me." He whispered into her ear.

"What?"

"In short, our weapon supplies are decreasing. I need you to go with a team to the nearest weapons facility and retrieve some basic weaponry; I'll do the rest."

Sarah pondered on this thought before nodding slightly. Stephen smiled and kissed her head gently whilst releasing her. Sarah stood back slightly and smiled back. Stephen then offered her his hand, which she took as they walked to the teleporter room.

When they arrived, they saw that the 6th team had just been teleported. As the 7th team was about to step inside, Stephen stopped them. "Hold up. I need to talk to you lot!"

They all walked over to him. "Yeah?" Said a sandy coloured lion.

"Well..." Stephen paused to get his words right. 'Oh God, how do I put this?' "Umm... There... isn't... a seventh... location?" He mumbled to himself, however, the team heard it and started complaining.

"Hey hey hey hey! It's not the end of the world!" Stephen shouted above the noise of the complaining. "Besides, I have something even better for you!"

"Oh yeah? Like what?" A green toad complained.

"I'm sending you, along with Sarah as team leader, to the top weaponry centre." Stephen said enthusiastically.

"G.U.N?" The sandy lion asked.

"Nah! G.U.N are second best; there's a place that makes weapons that are better than ours!" Stephen said again, the enthusiasm never leaving his tone.

One kid stepped forward and stuck his fist out in front of him. "Sure. We can get the weapons, can't we guys?" The others nodded.

Stephen smiled and tapped the kid's fist with his. "Okay!" He said. "Go to a teleporter. I'll be there to send you off." He told the group.

As they all walked off to a teleporter, Sarah turned to Stephen. "Stephen? Are you sure this is safe?" She asked quietly.

Stephen couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "Don't worry. Besides, if anything should happen to go wrong..." Stephen placed a hand inside his skin, which rippled slightly, and pulled out an ice bomb and a light blue Chaos Emerald. "Use these to escape."

Sarah took the Chaos Emerald and the bomb and placed them in the pocket of her emerald jacket. "Love you." She said whilst jumping onto Stephen, who returned the hug.

"Now go on." He whispered. Sarah obeyed and walked over to the teleport pad where the others were waiting.

Stephen strolled over to the main computers and pressed a few buttons, noting the whine could be heard from the machine. He looked up at the group. "Good luck guys." He said. His finger tapped the 'Enter' key.

A green light scanned the pad, teleporting everything within its range. Sarah was the last to be teleported and she said something that only Stephen could make out. "I love you!" Sarah said before vanishing completely.

"I love you too." Stephen mumbled as he exited the empty room to carry on with his duties...

Wow... 1279 words... That's pretty impressive for me.

Incase you forgot, Sarah and Stephen belong to XT-421, who I hope shall be particularly pleased with this.

R&R please
