Firefly

War In Space

Prologue

Malcolm Reynolds walked into the bridge. River was piloting, and it was peaceful at the moment. "Anything new?" Mal asked River. River looked up at him. "No." She replied. She then focused on piloting. "Finally a normal response." Mal said turning around. Zoë was in front of him. Mal smiled. Zoë was in a blue dress. "Dresses don't suit you." Mal said. Zoë rolled her eyes, and pushed Mal out of the way. She walked onto the bridge next to River. River saw the dress. "Pretty dress!" She said happily. Mal rolled his eyes, and walked down the stairs.

Jayne finished loading all of his handguns. He put the weapons away, and smiled. He heard someone knock on the door. He turned around, and saw Mal holding a tray of bacon and eggs. Jayne smiled, and took the tray. Mal smiled, and turned around. "Thanks." Jayne said. Mal smiled, and climbed up the ladder. Jayne continued to eat.

Mal walked to Kaylee's door. He smiled. There were a lot of flowers on the door now. She and Simon were also sharing the room. Mal looked up, and saw Inara dressed in a beautiful dress. Mal smiled. "Thank you for this dress Mal. It's beautiful." Inara said. "I think you're too good for it." Mal said with a wider smile. Inara blushed. Mal walked up to her, and kissed her on the lips.

The Reaver ship "Destruction" moved silently through space. They were hunting for the crew of "Serenity", and they were close to finding them. They had been tracking them from the tracking device they had planted on the ship a week ago. The reaver captain, Gnarl, walked into the bridge. He snarled angrily. He was the only reaver that was human enough to speak. "How close are they?" He asked his pilot. The pilot looked at him, and said in the Reaver language, "They're only five minutes away." The pilot said. Gnarl grinned. "Good." He replied. He then took out his handgun. It had his face tied onto it. He looked at it for a few seconds, and then he slammed it back into its holster. He sat down next to his pilot.

The alarm went off. Mal backed away from Inara. "I'll be right back." He said to Inara. She nodded. Mal ran back to the bridge. He jumped up the stairs, and sat down by River. "Reavers." She whispered. Mal looked into space, and saw a huge Reaver ship speeding towards them. Mal's eyes widened. He opened his mouth to speak, but didn't.
