Shalimar's PoV
Hearing the roar of engines as the door unlocked, Shalimar rushed into the hangar.

"Tell Rose we'll return it later!" Taran yelled as he hurried onto the ship.

Taking a couple of steps inside the hangar, Shalimar raised an arm to block the glare of the engine as it took off. "Draco's claw. Mom and Rose won't be happy about this."

Wynn's PoV
Reaching command, Wynn had to stop and stare for a moment as she saw a tiny ball of light bouncing back and forth over weapons control.

Rushing forward, Wynn snatched the thing up in one of her hands--but it was too late. "Masaru's horns..."

The thing had just opened fire on the Dragonfly with a full payload of missiles.

My PoV
"That is Mokona," Nissa said, looking at the display screen. Looking at me, she said, "I've met him once. He's harmless."

"I don't like how he got past your defenses," I said.

"He's not easily trackable," Nerissa's hologram form said. Looking over my shoulder and tilting her head, the hologram said, "Oh hell."

At that moment, two display screens lit up--one with Shalimar and one with Wynn on it. Both looked troubled.

"Xangord, I'll get back to you," I said, looking at her display screen. "Stay on your toes!"

Turning to the display screens with Shalimar and Wynn, I asked, "What's up?"

"n** and Taran took off in Rose's ship without an explanation," Shalimar said, her eyes flicking to Rose.

"And this...thing...opened fire on Rose's ship," Wynn said, holding up a tiny glowing object.

"Hestaby help us," I groaned. To Shalimar and Wynn, I said, "Okay, get back here. Wynn, bring that thing with you" To Nissa, I said, "Fire counteractive missiles!"

As their two screens darkened, I turned on Rose and asked, "Did you recognize the pixie?" [+1]

n**'s PoV
Keeping her council to herself, n** checked the radar. "You drive. The Altsoba just dropped a payload of missiles at us and another payload of counteractive missiles. I don't have enough space ship flight experience to dodge that. Just follow the coordinates I have laid in."

What in the hell is going on up there? n** thought, turning full control over to the copilot's chair.

At that moment, missiles began to explode around them that made the ship shudder and buck.
