You got tree guesses what I don't own, but you're only gunna need one.
"GO GO GO GO GO!" Mal yelled as he ran toward the open bay door of Serenity. The rest of the crew followed, Zoe occasionally turned to shoot at their pursuers. The reavers followed them like a wave of death, their screams and growls growing ever closer. The stench of the rotting flesh permiated the air.
Serenity's crew ran as fast as their legs would carry them until their feat hit the metal of Serenity's cargo hold. Simon dove for the control panel and slammed his fist down on it. The hydrolics wirred into life and the door slowly lifted from the ground. Jayne, Zoe and Mal picked off the reavers that managed to jump onto the door.
"Take off, baby!" Zoey yelled into the radio. Wash's voice crackled over the intercom "Your wish is my command, darling." With that, there was a slight jerk as Serenity lifted off the ground. Fast, soft foosteps came running from above. Inara stood on the pathway that lead from the cargo hold to the living quarters.
"What in the world happened!? Is everyone alright?" She asked in a panic.
"Gorram reavers got the jump on us." Mal cursed.
"Reavers!?" Inara was taken off guard, and her usual composure slipped to reveal her shock and panic.
"What...what happened? Is everyone alright?" She asked.
"No one is fatally wounded, if that's what you're wondering, though I suspect we'll all be spending quite a bit of time in my infirmary." Simon said. Every one of them was wounded in one way or another. Zoey had a deep cut running from her right shoulder, down across her upper arm that, despite the hasty bandage, was still bleeding profusely. Mal was shot several times, but none were very bad. He was hit twice in the shoulder and had one shot glance his left side.
Of all of the crew, Jayne was the worst for ware. One of the reavers had managed to pull him from the rest of the group. He had been beaten over the head, bit, stabbed and shot before Mal had managed to pull him from the reaver's grasp when they ran. He had stumbled to his weights and collapsed on the bench as if he were planning on doing a few reps. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was ragged.
"Doctor, you may want to see to him." Zoe said, nodding toward Jayne. Simon nodded and went to Jayne.
"I want a head count." Mal said into his radio. "Everyone, down here now." His voice echoed on the intercom. Inara moved gracefully down the stairs, and was followed by the Shepard, and River. A few moments later Wash appeared in the cargo hold Simon's medical bag. "Thought you all might want this." He said, holding the bag up. "Is everyone ok?"
Kaylee curled up in a ball, hidden in a gutted turbine she had been looking at when the reavers struck. The blood curdling screams of people being torn limb from limb surrounded her. She suppressed a wimper and hugged her small pistol to her chest. Jayne had lent it to her, and insisted she take it with her if she went off on her own. This was a typically peaceful trade planet, far from reaver space but she had taken it and tucked it into her bag.
Every so often she heard a thump when something would bump up against the metal cylinder she was hiding in. If anything tried to look inside, she would see them before they saw her, but each thump still made her jump out of her skin. She could still hear the growls and snarls of the reavers over the screaming of their victims. She could hear one in particular, that must have taken down the machine shop owner at his stand. The shop owner was a portly man, but he had a kind glint in his eye. Kaylee was always reminded of Christmas when she went to his shop, not just because she got to get new parts for Serenity.
Now that jolly man was probably half dead, and would stay that way for a long while while the reavers tore at his flesh. She didn't want to picture it, but the image flashed before her anyway. Tears started to form in her eyes, and made streaks in the dust and grime on her face. She wondered when Mal and the others would be there to save her.
Author's note: Gotta love Firefly. It did NOT last long enough. This is meant to take place sometime between Firefly and Serenity. Will I continue the story? Probably. Please review and let me know what you think about what's happened so far, and what should happen next.
