The two creatures looked at each other.
It's like looking in a mirror. Rainbow thought.
Rainbow lifted her right hoof, and Hazel mimicked that exact movement with her left hoof. Razer and Aya watched contently. It was interesting to watch them study and acknowledge the other's newly discovered presence.
The animals circled around, stretching their necks and shifting their wings. An ear would flick, and nose would twitch, but their eyes were locked in a gaze. They stood perfectly up-still, mirroring the others movement. Their breaths, posture and movements continued in perfect unison. The animals looked dead in the eye at each other.
"You look a lot like me!" They said in unison.
"I do?"
They both looked at their hooves, their tails, and their wings in unison.
"Huh, I guess I do." Their united speech pattern continued.
"They are making progress in establishing a healthy, friend-related relation ship." Aya said.
"Agreed."
That night…
Sleeping in a cage was uncomfortable. Hazel wanted open space, freedom to stretch and breath, not be confounded by closed in walls, having a crampy, captive feeling.
She tore at the walls. And the cage finally busted, setting her to cuddle in the very center of the ship.
Rainbow whined, and Hazel took pity her. She rammed the cage with some construct horns. They faded and Rainbow knocked over the beaten metal cage door. They cuddled closely. The snug pair awoke from a click! Rather loud.
They fell from above scattering the animals. Aya formed herself and Razer joined her. Not 3 minutes later came Hal and Kilowog. The crossed their arms, all except Aya, who looked with a twinge of annoyance and just a hint of aggravation. The little animals still sleepy yawned. Rainbow was cut off mid yawn and smacked so hard, she flew into a wall.
I've had it!
At that, Rainbow shot a beam of ice water at the Sergeant and turned invisible, climbing into the walls of the ship.
Hazel searched for her, swooping around, flapping lazily, as she was still weary from her early sudden awakening.
She weakly landed and toppled over. Kilowog stomped roughly near Hazel, and she bolted up and darted between Aya's legs for safety.
"These little runts have no sense of bravery." He said mockingly.
A beam of fire shot passed him, smoldering the wall passed him. She sank her claws into the walls, melted, and slipped into the walls of the Interceptor.
In the walls of the Interceptor…
Complex chains of extremely complicated wiring plugged into chambers where purified green energy swirled ceaselessly, swimming into tubes and collecting in large bodies of the liquefied energy, vaporizing in streams of gastric green energy. It cooled back to liquid power and collected in the larges sphere of purest lantern energy, glowing radiantly, brightly, and shining as bright as a green sun.
"Whoooooooaaaaaaaa…" The animals said.
They drifted through the wiring.
Clusters of differently shaded green wires tangled and and intertwined laid sprawled out in different places. Cleared spaces were small and difficult to find. They dodged numerous sensor clusters, microchips and atom detectors were the wall panels here. Multiple screens displayed various cameras and sensors the ship had scattered and swirled around in no particular order. Scales and tracking devices, locators, meters, and asset weapon controls were laid out every where. Codes flowed through thick, thin, and medium sized tubes. Amazing lines of information, schematics, formulas, parameters, and setting flowed through tubes.
The core of the very ship was amazing. Then they traveled to the helm. The very keys, assets and amazing lines of code and controls that commanded the every movement of the Interceptor, the ship that would forever protect the emotions of the universe, or at least until the Red Lanterns were stopped.
They decided to let the others get a little taste of payback.
"Attention, this is your captain speaking, please report to the main deck, over and out!"
Rainbow's voice came over the intercom.
When everyone was assembled in the helm of the ship, Kilowog blurted angrily,
"Just where are you little rats hiding?"
So a green construct hand smacked Kilowog, smashing him into a wall. He groaned, and at his misery, Rainbow laughed and laughed, making irony her favorite priority at the moment. She roared with laughter, pointing at Kilowog, clawing her stomach, and rolling in pleasure and joy at his suffering. Hazel found no pleasure, yet grinned evily. She sparked to disconnected wires, and frying pan and rolling pins beat Kilowog repeatedly, making Hazel cackle with laughter, merrily bounding around jeering at Kilowog's sour cries of pain and dread. Aya blew the constructs to bits. Hazel was still laughing, but tripped over a wire, snapping it into, its divided links sparked. She gasped, and suddenly, everything froze. The floor was cold, there was no humming from the engine. The lights went dark, the only light being dim stars afar. Green energy stopped flowing and died. The levitating chairs drifted out of place. They all started floating, the internal gravity, down. The consoles and panels stopped flashing, and everything went downhill. The doors needed to be opened manually. Locks weren't working, and Aya;s color started to fade. She became more dependant on Razer.
1 Week Later…
They were moderately disliked by Hal, but H.A.T.E.D. By Kilowog.
The Interceptor was back up and running.
The dogs were chained to poles, paws handcuffed, rope-tied, and muzzled. Razer hated to see the animals like this. They even had cones on their paws and necks. They were disliked.
So when no one could see, they sailed out, never to return.
Kilowog came out, a plate of fresh hot food in his hand.
"Listen I'm sorry we got out off on the wrong foot let's just-"
He froze mid sentence and picked up a note and read it:
Crew of the Interceptor,
We ran out on you cause obviously, we are disliked from moment uno. So we have escaped and planned to plant on another ship, in which we will eat nests, burrow, and cocoon ourselves in for a long period of time before evolving into our next form, and again we will do it to reach our Epic Form. We bid you all farewell,
AND if you wonder why we left, ask Sir Throw-a-wog!\
In space…
The small sentients wandered away and found Shard. They hooked in the rock and ate dens in which they were about to curl in silk cocoons until the 3 bothersome Red Lanterns came in and discovered them!
AN: Yeah, I don't like doing this. But cliffhangers are my only way knowing that you're reading.
The Green Lanterns: Why, cause you think the characters will come, and you can meet that SOMEONE
You like?
Me: No… Maybe… Whats it to ya?\
The Green Lanterns: Because I know you, IN REAL LIFE!
Me: When I get back to Florida, for my B-Day party, YOU ARE SO DEAD!
