"Now, we're all sons of Bandits"
Corazon Tea looked at her radar with an annoyed expression, she was almost there, this nightmare that had lasted for decades would finally be over, breaking into a sprint, she climbed rapidly into the air as she zipped from jump pad to jump pad reaching the top of her ship, she and her vessel found themselves eaten whole by the massive ship in front of her.
Her mission was simple even if it meant death, Carol wouldn't have to die for her mistakes.
With a smile and help from a jump pad, it was easy to grab onto one of her many drone ships as the skies around her exploded with the passion of war, she held on tightly as the drone ship rammed into the Purity, Shang Mu really did know how to make them, Cory thought as she walked out of the wreak.
The place was covered in decorations, a red carpet filled the hallway and there sat a couch covered in obviously not gold, a few feet from her, it felt less like, she was invading a military vessel and more like she was in a hotel.
The alarm sounding imminently with a quick back flip her pistol found itself in her hands, the sky pirate bolted down the hallway.
Jumping in the air, She unleashed a frighting double kick that broke the Shang mu fancy door wooden door like glass, hitting the steel ground with a bounce.
The wind hit her fur and the fuses of the robots in front of her.
"He really does like his own face doesn't He?"
Corrupt politician.
As they primed themselves to explode, they gunned towards the buccaneer, who ran and jumped past them even on top of their heads almost as if it was a dance.
Zipping through the air, she found her target thanking her pals that had 'found' the ships schematics, She took aim on the fuel tanks.
Souring through the sky.
She spotted a balcony across the railing with the 'legitimate' parusian government on the other side, she flew up before they could even notice.
The soldiers only response being screams form being knocked over board.
Inside, she found a room full of vases, paintings and golden artifacts, that would pay handsomely on the black market but that was something to think about later "I found her!" Yelled a soldier.
Jumping into the air, she dodged the fire from his comrades that were patrolling with him.
She nailed herself into the ceiling for just a moment before flashing towards the ground right behind them.
"Bunch a grapes" She smirked.
Shooting the on soldier in the head, his hat flew through the air.
*Thud*
Grabbing a painting, she bashed it into the face of the next.
As He collapsed, another more heavier cheetah come towards her with knife.
Fire erupted from her feet as she managed to dodge the attack.
"Too easy!" She yelled in the mist of battle, shots ringing from the soldier next to the cheetah that was far more ranged mined.
Making a quick areal maneuver, she touched the ground before admitting that Carol was far better at this.
Claws popping out of her hands, she charged towards the men.
The cheetah still simply smiled at her.
Little did He expect the pirate to roll into a ball.
Reality deciding that this was funny caused the two soldiers to soar into the nearest wall.
Corazon sighed, She would never get that rhyme out of her head.

"Vessel Power at 50% percent decreasing steadily" Called a robotic voice.
"Well it's over then?" Asked Powers as He looked at a golden necklace, He had 'found'.
"Yes it is, after this is over, we can go back to how things used to be" General Crossia said as She sat on the bridge in silence, sharply dressed, the medal on her cap shined, her victory was well fought for Parusa would be hers.
"Parusa will be mine" Crossia shut her mouth, the old bird was useful for now "Yes, Mr Rufus" It was only a matter of time before he died and his idiot son was far too feeble to be any threat to her just had to wait until he rusted.
"Hi, there Girlfriend, Whiskey Delta, Old Hag" The Buccaneer announced her presence as she kicked open the door.
"Hello, Corazon" Crossia answered back coldly.
"Cory"
"Child"
The bounty hunter extraordinaire could feel paradise on the tips of her fingers, one final push and the world would be safe for her sister, just as she had envisioned.
She twirled her pistol as She looked on.
"Are you ready?" She asked.
Crossia unsheathed her sword "Always wildcat, you two provide interference" She commanded.
The once composed dog smiled madly at Corazon practically flying towards her.
The world grew silent, metal flying through the air.
"Missed me!" Sound coming back just as a thundering kick followed.
Crossia simply moved her head.
"Weak" She held Corazons leg in her hands, the sky pirate not even struggling.
Fire engulfed her face causing her to scream as Crossia struggled, Corazon pulled out a knife only for a brick to get lodged up her sides, sending her into the ground before she could do anything.
Hitting the ground with a huff and intact despite the laws of physics demeaned she be smeared across the floor, she loved life petals for that.
Performing a roll, she escaped the range of the old bird.
A hail of energy bullets trailed behind her as she got up.
It was Powers.
Crashing right into him, they both struggled to shoot each other with the energy rifle between them.
"So do you really think, you have the heart to hurt me?" He asked.
"Yes" She answered bluntly.
Powers just laughed.
Looking down the bounty hunter found out why.
A black cloud covered the room, hitting the ceiling.
Tea's don't waste time and the feline positioned herself on the ceiling.
Life petals started to wilt and fall off of her body if this fight went on any longer, she could get hurt.
She was not an idiot, she had planned ahead just how to win this.
The glass of the bridge broke open in an animistic scream, Corazon arcing past it.
With a thud, her claws engaged in combat with the aerodynamic forces of the Purity as Corazon tried to stay on the top of the mighty vessel.
Turning around, she found a pit of endless darkness, a siege cannon, The wildcat would of been a small round in it.
Letting go.
She whistled through the air.
The response, the sound of jet engines.
She hit the surface of her drone ship with the chaos caused by her inside gaining air supremacy was a basic matter.
An army of drones roared around her.
What could be described as metal enduring a fast and painful death occurred, a hole the size of a truck was it's child.
"You won't escape us!" Yelled General Crossia over the skies.
"Won't you just shutup!" Corazon yelled.
"I hate all of you!"
"And I for the life of me wish I never left!"
Carols life would of been just fine if Corazon had never went after her, she should of just stayed put, their mother would of been alive and Corazon would of been able to actually see her sister without creating a alter ego or staging her death.
But that was in the past, this would all be over in just one word.
"DIE!"
Noise rivaling a rock concert sung by the lasers and unguided missiles of Corazons many drone ships covered the ship with a black smoke that would been seen for miles.
It was over.
She did it, Corazon could finally rest knowing, she had done something right that didn't mean the world was any less evil.
"High-ya!" Yelled what should be a dead bird.
Grabbing the wildcat, the old bird slammed Corazon by the elbow.
And back into the abyss.
Fear shot across her face that hurt more then it was supposed to.
She found a boot to the left of her face.
"Do you believe, I'm that dumb? Corazon" Asked the General.
"Even before you started your attack, I made sure, I had these" Her smile one of a predator that just caught it's prey.
A red fairy appeared next to her along with that of her comrades.
"It's the most important rule of tactics to make sure all paths lead to victory, not that a low life like you would know that"
"Wait shouldn't we keep her alive to show her, her sister's corpse later?" Asked Powers.
"Say that again and I'll have your tongue"
Rufus had already started choking her to death.
She should of brought a grenades would of saved them all the trouble.
Everything was starting to fail.
For Corazon, a disconnect started to settle in for even in space there are things.
The wildcat started to feel nothing.
Then a great wave seemed to wash over her.
It was as if, she had already lived a long life like the world made sense.
She remembered the last time, she felt that way.

"Me and your father won't be here for ever Corazon"
"And when we're gone, you need to care for your sister in out steed and the farm"
"Yes, Mother"
It was morning.
Time to go to the market.
"Carol, stay close to me and don't go running off anywhere, ok?"
"Ok" Answered back a small wildcat wearing a white shirt and washed out green shorts.
The marketplace, what she needed to do was simple go to her usual customers and sell all their tea, leave at dawn and make sure Carol didn't get in her plethora of usual trouble.
"Aw, Cory nice to meet you again" Chirped a tiger.
"Nice to see you too, Mr Pawn"
He must really love that red scarve, I've never seen him without it.
"How's your mother?" Asked the keeper in a caring tone.
"She's... fine, about that medicine"
"Here you go"
Corazon gave the man some bags of tea in return.
Crystals to buy meat and other things, they needed and medicine in tow.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Asked Corazon.
"Sure, I'd do anything for a nice girl like you"
"Can you take care of Carol for me while I'm out on the town?"
"WHAT?!" Yelled Carol.
"You can't do that!"
Cory could only muster a smile at her sister.
"I can besides, their aren't many little kittens like you for you to play with here and Mr Pawn doesn't bite"
"You know that's not the reason!"
Pawn decided to weigh in on the situation.
"Carol, you should listen to your sister"
"Ughhhh" She groaned
"This is going to be so boring-"
Closing the door, the humble tea farmer looked to her cart.
No more worrying about her then.
Leaving, even as she noticed a strange group of people enter the shop but no worries, Pawn would protect her sister, she was sure of it.

"You will hand over the sky pirate to me" Declared a voice that summoned Corazon back from the peaceful realm of her memories.
"A- A Dragon!" Yelled a caught off guard Powers.
Cory glared over at the beast.
That's not possible.
They- They had never seen or heard a dragon before or at least not a full Dragon, only disgusting half breeds and that unbelievable story of a water dragon(A dead species) saving the world none the less a child, three years ago.
"Yes and I hold no ill intentions, Miss Corazon will pay for her crimes on my judgment"
Every word uttered from the dragon sent shock waves of confusion and wonder, it was as if they were being attacked by Aliens again.
Waking up from the scene in front of her with a small
"no"
Crossia stopped holding her head and screamed.
"KILL HER!" To the incompetence that surrounded her.
In the next second, a new malestorm of wind entered the ship, the skies outside filled with more then just air.
"I didn't want to do that" The sun feel upon the white dragon as She walked toward Corazon, who was currently in shock.
"Here let me help you" Said what was the equivalent to Christ to the wildcat.
The feline snapped away the Dragons hand.
Being a The Ace of Flying Aces, Corazon knew everything has a price and layed herself out on the ground like a simple housecat.
The Dragon blushed slightly from the sight.
"This ship is slowly falling out of the sky"
Corazon laughed.
"And what?! I not getting tied down again, My missions over, I can finally rest"
The Dragon simply stared at her.
"You think, just because your a Dragon, I'm going to do whatever you say?"
...
"What about Carol?" Asked the Dragon getting a hold on the situation.
Corazon quickly got up and raised her pistol, something that didn't much matter to the Dragon.
"What do you know about my Sis!"
"That She's in danger, I didn't know the situation, I was involved in was so personal, I apologize for trying to negotiate with such savages" The Dragon completed the apology with a bow.
What is She playing at, Blackmail?
In her quest to figure out, what in the kingdom stones name was going on, Cory scanned the supposedly dead race's body finding that, she was wearing a sky blue dress something that went well with her eyes, a white obi sash, the complete opposite of her and nevermind her boots.
She had two tails sitting back there, a thing that earth dragons don't have nor water d...
"What are you!? And why are you being so nice?"
"You really are so noble"
Noble? The Pirate quickly found herself at a loss for words.
"My Lord needs someone like that"
Corazon's life was getting worse by the second, that frilly girl that besides from being a Dragon had with a single move destroyed the people, she had been fighting her whole life and now, she had a master which meant, their was someone far more powerful then her that knew about her sisters existence and was willing to exploit it.
"In return, we pledge to protect Carol"
"And if, I refuse?"
"Regardless of what you believe, they are not dead and even if they were, it would be dumb not to tell someone about your sister just incase and even if they didn't their replacements will still go looking for you if not Shang Mu for destroying their ship"
"And if they find out what do you think will happen? that's why-"
The Dragon bit her lip.
"You don't want anything bad to happen to your sister do you?"
Inside, despite that power, she's naive isn't she.
"Sure!" She chirped, feeling like she could read the dragon in front of her like a book, Corazon reached out a hand.
Still, She right and her boss isn't someone to get on the bad side of.
"Glad to have you" Smiled the Dragon far more happier then Corazon.
"Since, we're now co-workers it only natural that you know my name, Alassia"
I hate it!
"Nice"

Everything is coming on, how it seems it's supposed to in this world that I used to see through my computer, now I live there it's so beautiful and horrifying, I'm horrifying though people may not think so though, I may not look like it, I feel like an abomination, everyone else is too and yet, I'm the only one, who see's it.
My eyes feel like giant weights.
I can feel my tails dig into me.
And I'm a girl.
I feel like, I've been stabbed 'there'.
No longer human and if I was it would still be a nightmare.
I want to hide myself away.
This dress hurts me down to my soul, it's being cured.
Syringes are only painful for a while...
Why am I complaining?
I'm on Avalice, just as I wished.
I'm being selfish and need to stop.
I'm fine.
I've been granted a gift, I'm not going to complain.
I'm a Dragon, a powerful one at that, Merga said, I was made to serve her but that kid and her could never alone make me so powerful there must be something else at play, I did wake up in a test tube, she was there when I woke up, she said that, I was inert before I fell asleep, she was happy about that.
Whatever that means.
I can't be weak if she wants to keep me around so it must mean something else.
I guess, I should call myself an Inert Dragon if that was a species.
Ever since, I got here, I've never felt so complete and when, I make the final sacrifice.
I will repay this world a favor.
MISSION COMPLETE!
