Krux may be gone, but the Krawl are still around, so Rallen and Jeena are still on patrol in the Kaio system. So after a 'minor' infestation shows up, and Rallen gets hurt, what will happen next? Read and find out ;)
Their cruiser flew pretty fast, hovering over their usual spot before long.
"No" Jeena muttered in frustration. "No! Krawl have overrun our landing zone!"
"Well then, let's park the ship anyway and squish them!" he responded, already preparing to do just that.
"No!" she immediately countered, shaking her head. "What about the ones we don't squish, Rallen? They could attack the ship and leave us stranded!"
He groaned, lightly hitting his fist against the armrest. There had to be SOME way of getting down there!
Wait... didn't they have another method of flight?
"I'm finding us another landing zone" she said, already fast at work doing so.
"No time for that, Jeena!" he said, immediately jumping up and running. The shocked exclaimation "Rallen, where are you going!" followed behind him, and he turned with a grin, opening the side-door. "What I do best" he answered simply, opening the door, a gust of wind blowing inside hard. "See you on the ground!"
"Rallen!" she yelled out, quickly putting the ship on autopilot, then running to the open door where Rallen had jumped. "Rallen, you idiot!" she yelled down at him, the wind whipping viciously at her pink hair.
Even with the vicious wind, she could still hear his exhilarated "Whoo-hoo!" at free-falling. Then about two seconds later, a bright white light shoot out of his Cosmolink, which then turned into Pegatinum; a graceful flying Spectrobe, who left rainbows where it's wings went.
She sighed in annoyance. "I'm gonna kill him later" she muttered half-seriously, stepping back a bit, then jumping out herself.
"Whoo-hoo!" Rallen yelled out with a laugh, finding freefall to be exhilarating. He only let himself enjoy it for a moment though, then he summoned Pegatinum, the winged Spectrobe soon flying almost directly underneath him.
He aligned himself carefully, like he's practiced in a holo-simulator, then he landed on the Spectrobe's back. The landing wasn't quite as gentle as he'd have liked, but at least he avoided one spot in particular...
He chuckled, grinning. "All right, let's kick some Krawl butt!" he called out, but a heavy thump directly behind him startled the both of them.
"Rallen, if we weren't a hundred feet in the air right now, you'd be dead already!" he heard, making him relieved. Jeena had elected to join him in Krawl Hunting, instead of just waiting for him to clear out the landing zone.
"Yeah, what else is new!" he called back cockily, then he steered Pegatinum downward. In doing so, he missed the annoyed sigh Jeena let out... but he did NOT miss the fact that she wrapped her arms around his waist, and tightly.
Normally he'd have ignored it or playfully said she liked him afterward. But now, after the hug she had given him... things were a little different.
Pegatinum continued flying downward, Rallen angling him toward a tree. Getting himself ready to jump, he waited... then at the right moment, jumped off the Spectrobe's back. He and Jeena (who had seen what he was gonna do) landed with a loud rustle in it's branches, not that the Krawl gave it any second glance.
Jeena pushed aside a branch, watching the Krawl below. "Let me guess, you're just gonna charge in without a plan?" she said, noting their numbers and placement.
"No" he said simply, making Jeena stare directly at him. He merely grinned, "I'll jump out and draw their attention, then you nail them from the sidelines... then after that, both of us kick some Krawl butt!"
She continued staring at him, blinking. "Rallen, are you okay?" she asked, touching a hand to his forehead.
He blinked, looking cross-eyed at her hand on his forehead. "Uh, yeah, why?" he said.
She withdrew her hand, still staring at him, but less intensely. "Rallen actually came up with a plan..." she said, more-or-less to herself, then she giggled. "I never thought I'd see the day"
"Well enjoy the moment quickly, because we're wasting time" he said, gesturing at the Krawl below.
She sighed, shaking her head. "My partner" she muttered to herself, glancing at him.
"Okay, times up!" he shouted, getting a running start and jumping out of the tree.
"Iku Ze!" he shouted, his Cosmolink flashing brightly. Out of that flash of light, Rydrake appeared, fanning out his wings widely. Rallen easily landed on his back, in his hands appearing the Ryga Sword and Sabo Shield, respectively.
Rydrake slammed into the ground with a roar, spinning as he did so, Rallen jumping off afterward. He attacked this group of three with his sword, sending them flying and freezing one.
"Go!" he commanded, Rydrake instantly teleporting and slashing his wing at the frozen Krawl, slicing it in half. (The ice, not the Krawl itself... though it did dissolve afterward) Both of them spun around at this group coming up behind them.
Then they dissolved after a barrage of shots.
He glanced up with a smirk, seeing Jeena in the tree, smoke coming out of the front end of her Flame Blaster. She wore a small smirk as well, looking in his direction. "Save some for me, Rallen!" she called out, then she jumped off the tree as well.
Her Cosmolink glowed as well, and out of it came Yagizora, who gave a mystical shrill upon summon. Jeena easily landed on it's back, Yagizora easily landing without a hitch, shaking it's rainbow horns.
"If you can keep up!" he called playfully, laughing as he ran toward the next group of Krawl, Rydrake directly behind him.
She could keep up, as he knew very well. So while he and Rydrake slammed through Krawl left and right, drawing attention, Jeena and Yagizora rammed through the distracted Krawl, she drive-by shooting them all. Very soon, none were left, in their landing zone area at least.
Now all they had left was that clearing by the village... should be fun.
Was interesting writing this part :)
Still, writing more about it may be repeating myself, so next time we'll skip to waking up after injury. And what happens after that ;)
