"My brother is going to kill you once he finds me."

The feisty black haired girl snapped up at Cray as she curled up in the corner of the dimly lit room. He rolled his eyes and continued working on his hologram computer over the large 'island' in the middle of the room. He had just brought her here, just to keep an eye on her.

Sachi bit her lip and wrapped her arms around her knees, pulling them into her chest hard. She voiced strength, but she was definitely completely frightened by what could happen to her. Cray's reputation preceded him and she knew what he did to women and girls. Black bangs hung over her eyes but she glanced through them at the other girl in the room, standing against the wall near the entrance. That older girl was stoic and had light blue hair forming a curtain around her cold expression. An annoying alien with a mohawk leaned over the counter speaking with Cray about battle plans- not that she cared. A blue haired alien with little intelligence was near Cray, piping in every so often with their conversation. Sachi wanted nothing to do with them.

The girl near the doorway caught her attention though, she wasn't like them. She had no pointed ears, and looked as though she had been beaten up fairly recently. Her cheek was badly bruised, and she had several smaller bruises on her forearms. Something awful must have happened to her, the expression she wore had no life in it. However, All she could wonder, was where her big brother was.

…

A delicate little glass was perched in his stubby hand as he took a sip of the golden liquor in the glass. A heavy set alien was perched on the chair, grey eyes on the glass in his hand. He was waiting for 'news' from Adube.

Flavin shifted when he heard someone enter his glamorous residence. Everything had gold plating and extravagant curtains and fabrics, it matched his boisterous personality. He casually glanced over towards the foyer hall, awaiting the guest that was indeed looking for him. Once the intruder walked out through the threshold of the sitting area, the coldest sudden chill shot up Flavin's spine. It wasn't who he was waiting for.

The slick alien quietly made his way across the room and sat down on the dark violet colored sofa. It was like death had walked in through that door.

Haldir now was face to face with Flavin, staring directly into his eyes making the quietness almost suffocating. Like a massive ship sinking in Flavin's heart, the room temperature dropped upon sight of the serial killer. Flavin settled back in his seat uncomfortably, contemplating the various reasons Haldir would be in his home.

"You weren't expecting me."

Haldir's words were hushed but direct, like his personality. The rust haired alien took a deep breath, masking the inherent fear that accompanied the presence of the alien before him. This silvery haired alien brought freezing hell and death wherever he went. Maybe it was his time. These next few moments very well might be the end of Flavin's life, they were critical. He fought the panic building in his chest and accelerated heartbeat. Flavin finally responded, trying to sound calm,

"No, I was not expecting you. What can I do for you?"

Faded blue eyes kept locked on him, and a calm answer was given.

"I'm looking for Cray. Tell me where I can find him."

Flavin felt his stomach lurch out of either relief of further stress, he couldn't tell. At least Haldir didn't seem to be here for him. He shifted uncomfortably once again on his expensive couch, trying to feign being comfortable with this conversation.

"Well he's not that easy to find."

"Answer my question."

The growing menace in his voice made Flavin think quickly- he had to weasel his way out of this. He sighed and lied through his teeth,

"I can't tell you where he is, unfortunately. But- I can tell you he's got his own ship, and you'll find him if you get a hold of Jetty or Adube. Either one of those two could take you there. I've never been to his ship myself."

It was quiet again. The blue eyed alien stared for a long while at Flavin, analyzing the response. Haldir could kill him right now, immediately, and probably get away with it. However, he wasn't the target. Ivory would surely give him hell over killing Flavin without finding out about Cray's specific whereabouts. Perhaps it would be better to let Flavin live for the time being. He was one hell of a liar, and knew exactly where to find Cray. The lie was to save his own ass.

Haldir knew how to play the game. Better to let Flavin think he believed his lie to get to where his target is.

"All right then. Tell me where I'll find either of them."

…

The heat was so heavy and the air was thick with humidity, immediately the sweltering weather took energy from the girls. Corvus could only teleport the girls so far, and they had to 'meander' a bit to get closer to the actual energy signal. Mike accompanied them in the jungle with a specific tablet looking device to detect the supposed Mew Aqua.

They were just outside a dilapidated poor town in Venezuela, making their way through dirt roads and nearby shacks of poor outlanders. The villagers weren't privy to the girls' transformations and now they were trekking through the dense jungle on a rugged path. Needless to say, there were complaints among the girls.

Lucy swatted an enormous mosquito away from her face with her left wing, giving a frustrated huff to whomever was paying attention to her. She was fuming angry with the heat and brushed her wild hair out of her face.

Amira pulled at the neck area of her head scarf and noticed Lucy swatting at every little bug that flew by as she walked ahead of her,

"Mike are we close?"

The heavier set man nodded and tugged at his dress shirt collar, even with the sleeves rolled up it was far too hot to be in business clothes.

"Yeah, looks like the signal-"

A sudden glint of light had caught Mike's attention, the girls stared and were quiet, allowing the distant roar of rainforest insects to overwhelm them. A metal sounding clang made a few of them jump, and Mike waved his left arm, putting the tablet in his jacket. He signaled for the girls to spread out, they did so as best they could around the vegetation. As they all spread out, all eyes were ahead on the dome looking structure. It looked like a hazy mirror, and seemed to have panels.

The sound of wood cracking to their left made the girls flinch, Addison summoned her boomerang and turned to the left. The other girls around her began summoning their weapons as well. Another loud crack was heard and a huge tree lurched over and crashed into the ground with a boom, revealing a rhinoceros looking chimera. It had what looked like spikes down it's spine and two jutting forward off of its shoulders. It's horn was longer and jagged looking, and it's eyes were blacker than night.

A low grumble escaped it's throat and it charged forward, Mike hi-tailed it out of it's path. The girls all dodged in their own way, none of them were struck as the beast burst through more trees and underbrush. Lucy launched her own attack first,

"Ribbon Cream Blast!"

The beam attack left what looked like a singe on the thick hide of the right haunch of the rhino. Mike scampered up to the top of a nearby slope near an enormous tree, now able to get a wider view of the developing fight.

Addison grit her teeth as Skye ran passed her to out flank the chimera that was knocking through several smaller sized trees in front of the mysterious metallic dome. Felicia shouted over for them to attack it to distract the monster, Skye and Addison acknowledged and began launching their ranged attacks at the beast. Lucy assisted them from the air, flying just under the canopy of the forest.

Felicia and Jyoti approached the dome and began kicking and trying to attack the hazy glass looking dome material.

"I don't know what this thing is made of! But it wont friggin' break!"

Jyoti snapped, hopping up on top and trying to look into the dome from the 'roof'. The inside clearly had some type of machinery, and a low hum could be heard from inside it despite the sound of battle nearby. Felicia heard Amira approaching her to help them with the dome, but slid to a stop when Felicia looked back at her. Amira's face looked like she had seen a ghost, and the red haired mew became confused.

As the youngest mew stomped around the top of the dome, she froze when an enormous figure appear from the side of the dome. An alien she had never seen before loomed over an unsuspecting Felicia. Jyoti opened her mouth to scream at her but the giant clubbed Felicia with a silvery object in his hand and she was throttled aside like a dead leaf. Amira didn't hesitate to draw her sword and charge the tall alien, swinging her sword defiantly horizontally to slice him in half. A sickening clash of metal made Amira's feet dig into the soft earth as she struggled to maintain a standing position, the alien had grabbed her sword bare handed. No…they weren't his hands, not really.

The alien had robotic hands, and Amira got tunnel vision staring at them- it was nothing she had ever seen. His body was scarred horrifically and he had only one eye when she finally was able to look up at his face.

Binx had a remorseful expression, staring down at the girl who had done him no harm. This human was just trying to protect her planet, and his gut ached thinking of what Cray demanded he do to her. With a quick palm thrust, he struck Amira in the chest before she could react- and sent her flying back into the underbrush. Binx was caught off guard when a heavy handed strike from a very solid object made his head bounce side to side and he stumbled aside to his left. A deep laceration was now present on his right cheekbone, and he slowly turned to see an angry orange haired mew glaring down at him.

Before Binx could react, the whole group of them jumped to catch their balance as a bright flash of green sent the rhinoceros chimera rolling through a nearby tree. Binx teleported away upon noticing the other girls were distracted by the scuffle with the Chimera- he appeared above the canopy, barely able to see the girls through the dense foliage.

A light haired being appeared beside him, and ferociously snatched the edge of his shirt and pulled him down to eye level. The shorter alien seethed,

"You could have cut all three of them in half, I know it! You'd better stop fuckin' holding back unless you want your sister to die!"

Cray's venomous words didn't fall on deaf ears, but the black haired alien had a practiced unamused expression, he didn't respond. Binx's lack of a response caused Cray to about explode with anger, he pulled tighter on the shirt and got close to Binx's face,

"I'll kill her and hang her body parts around my ship if you don't go down there and show them what you're capable of."

The android felt his chest deflate with the threat towards the only person he loved. He could just kill Cray right here with one hand, not even put in an effort- but one of Cray's goons would surely kill Sachi before he could get back to her. He felt discouraged, and didn't want to fight these women defending their planet. He still didn't say a word, and simply nodded, pretending he'd put forth an effort in trying to 'kill' the mews.

Down below them, the chimera thrashed it's head around in the small clearing that had formed around them as a result of their fight. Broken down trees were down all around them with wooden splintered bits of wood littering the forest floor. A shrill yell from the bright yellow mew echoed out as she took a huge leap into the air in front of the angry monster,

"Ribbon Pineapple Hula Hoop!"

As she flew up into the air and the animal barged forward at the small human, the glowing disc appeared above her head. She was just able to bring the disk down as a barrier in front of her as the long grey horns of the snarling creature almost struck her. The horns clashed with the disc and held the two of them there, giving Addison and Lucy the chance to launch their own attacks simultaneously. Mike felt a slight rush of relief that the girls were doing what their training pushed them to.

The beast let out a horrific roar as the two attacks pierced it's body on both right and left sides. Cray's head whipped down at the now disintegrating Chimera rhinoceros. He seethed, and yanked away from Binx. The larger alien noticed how the girls demolished the creature, and it infuriated Cray. The cream haired alien scoffed,

"Forget it, come on. We are going to have to send more than one animal and all of us need to attack at once. They're getting stronger."

Binx's uninterested gaze shifted down to the metallic dome, a heat fusion reactor Cray and Adube had placed here. It was gathering energy for a hidden weapon, and these girls would surely destroy it upon them leaving. Black hair tickled his cheek in the hot breeze of the rainforest, he brushed it away with a steel hand as he gazed down at the girls. Perhaps they could save him and his sister as well as their planet- they seemed more than capable.

…

"Good guys two! Bad guys-" Addison whipped back around with a smirk, "Zero."

Skye chuckled and smiled at her, trotting after her down the hall towards their rooms. The rest of the girls all meandered towards their respective rooms as well. Everyone was filthy and covered in leaves and dirt. Each of them began their own self grooming 'rituals'.

Amira rubbed her damp hair and changed into a a black long sleeved shirt and light purple yoga pants. The black haired girl left her hair down since they were in the privacy of their own residence on the rig. As she made her way into the living room, the deep rumble of thunder boomed in the distance. She mumbled to herself as she entered the kitchen about how frequent the storms were. A familiar alien was standing with his back to her, staring out through the doorway of the nook at the ocean view. It was growing dark as the storm billowed in, and the sea was roiling around their stifled residence.

The arabian mew knew that Corvus heard her come in, he didn't miss much with his almost six inch ears. She casually made herself some hot chocolate and offered him some- of course he accepted. The giant had a sweet tooth he really couldn't hide well. As she began stirring the hot mugs of cocoa, the alien made his way into the nook and awaited her to join him, which she did. The two sat in silence for a few moments, staring out at the ocean and listening to the wind whip at the balconies outside the glass.

Amira found herself shifting her gaze from the glass to parts of the alien to her left in the cushy booth. He was so tranquil, like he would start levitating if he got any more calm. He was truly a spectacle in her opinion, but not only because he was an alien. Out of all the girls, she found herself closest with Corvus. Lucy couldn't stand him and it was very obvious. Amira found him easy to trust for some reason, though he was so different.

He was truly enormous, and his quirky body language intrigued her. She turned and looked at the side of his gaunt face, admiring the heavy masculine nose and jaw area he possessed. The alien noticed her gawking and looked down at her, the smallest hint of a smile on his lips. Amira found herself blushing and she smiled up at him with a chuckle,

"Sorry, I didn't mean to stare."

Corvus made a giggle sound in his throat and smiled from ear to ear,

"I'll take it as a compliment."

Amira felt her stomach flutter at his words; he was so slick. She knew she developed crushes easily, but finding someone to have a tangible, real, relationship with, was truly difficult. Especially being a super hero. She put both hands on her cocoa mug and forced herself to look away from him,

"You should."
