A/N Thank you for reviewing! NOW DO IT AGAIN!
Chapter 4
"Scanning." Andromeda said, closing her eyes. Her eyes flew open.
"Andromeda?" Gaheris asked.
"It...I don't know what it is. I can guess though..." Andromeda said slowly.
"Well?" Alexander asked.
"From what I can tell, it is a new Magog ship."
"Another one? We don't need anymore we have the world ship!" Oenone said.
"Nevertheless, it is. It..."
"Andromeda, it's huge!"
"Agreed. It is approximately 3 times the size of the world ship." Andromeda answered.
"Shit!" Oenone exclaimed.
"It is comprised of an unknown material...I believe it is...organic." Andromeda said in disbelief.
"Organic?" Maria asked.
"Well that would make sense, it looks like a giant rotting pumpkin." Oenone stated.
"No, more like a bruised peach." Shalimar said walking in. "What in the name of yellow Persieds is that?"
"That, would be the Magog's new ship." Gaheris muttered.
"What kind or weapons does that thing have?" Shalimar asked.
"Unknown." Andromeda answered.
"Maybe it has none." Maria suggested.
"If it had no weapons, the Magog wouldn't need it." Oenone answered.
"Um...is it just me or have they been 'approaching' us for 5 minutes?" Alex asked.
"Yeah?" Oenone said.
"So, lets get the hell out of here before we have peach juice thrown at us!" Alex yelled.
"We cant leave." Joy said. "We don't have the time or a way to leave then come back and get into the right portal. We have 20 minutes and we have to make sure we get into that portal or it is another 70 minutes before it comes around again."
"How do you know that?" Gaheris asked.
"I just do."
"Well, the Peach is firing!" Alex said suddenly. "Closing fast. "
"Impact in 5...4...3...2...1!" Andromeda said.
A jolt rocked the ship sending everyone to the ground.
"Andromeda return fire!"
"Aye."
Another jolt and anyone who was standing found themselves on the floor again.
"Andromeda?" Gaheris asked.
"Weapons ineffectual." Andromeda said.
"Dammit do something!" Oenone shouted.
"Incoming!"
A final jolt rocked the ship, sending Shalimar flying across command. All firing then ceased.
"They stopped." Maria said slowly.
"Shalimar??!!" Gaheris asked quickly. "SHLIMAR ANSWER ME!"
"Omhgdikllhm." Shalimar moaned.
"Shal, are you alright?" Gaheris asked.
"No. I was just flung across command, I am not alright. I think...I think I fractured a few ribs and AH! Yes, the arm is definitely broken." She mumbled and tried to get up.
Gaheris and Alex crawled over to her.
"Ow!" Said as they came over andGaheris felt her ribs.
"Yeah, they're fractured. We need to get you to med deck."
"Good idea. Before it pokes my lung and I die like my father." With that she faded from consciousness.
