[QUOTE="Capellan, post: 1820763, member: 6294"] [b]"Space Tomb" - Part 13[/b] The sounds of shouting dimly penetrate Captain Fury's semi-conscious brain. With a soft moan, the hero of Space Force pushes himself up from the floor, one hand gently probing the side of his aching skull. "Archie!" he exclaims, seeing the robot's gleaming metal back, "You [I]hit[/I] me!" "We have bigger concerns, Captain Fury." Without turning around, Archie steps to one side, revealing the smirking Xinthon and his prisoner, Doctor Gustav. "Zis alien fiend has done zomething to my leibchen!" Gustav does his best to pound his fist on the arm of his chair, "You must stop him!" Fury looks perplexed. "Not to worry, Doc. I just saw her, and she seemed fine." S'Ondra bursts into the room. The lithe Princess lands in an animalistic crouch between Archie and the Captain. Facing Fury with a feral snarl curling her lips, she clutches her heat lance in one white-knuckled hand. Sweat beads her heaving bosom, and gives her long, sculpted limbs a sheen under the fluorescent lights. Eyes fixed on the Captain, she gives a low growl. "Okay, that is a little odd." Fury admits. All hell breaks loose. S'ondra leaps. Fury shouts. Archie fires. Xinthon laughs. The Princess grabs the collar of Fury's shirt with one hand, lifting him bodily into the air. The shirt tears a little from the rough treatment, but the fabric mostly holds. "You monster!" Fury accuses Xinthon. Hands still free, the Captain snatches out his atomic pistol and fires. The blast strikes the D'Bari in the shoulder, burning a neat hole in Xinthon's tunic. But the flesh underneath is unmarked. "Eliminating waste." Archie unleashes both massive gouts of super-heated plasma, engulfing Xinthon's upper body. Over the crackle and roar of flames, the alien's laughter rings out. He strides out of the blast, his shirt completely immolated, his skin coated in soot, but otherwise unhurt. Raising a hand, the D'Bari points at Fury. Lightning arcs across the room, slamming into the unfortunate Captain. His body convulses as electricity blasts through him. The lightning wreathes both Fury and S'Ondra, crawling up and down their bodies with a hiss and crackle much like static: but unlike the Captain, the Princess seems completely unaffected by the experience. John Fury's been in some nasty spots before, but nothing quite compares to this. He fights to hold onto consciousness, stiff upper lip at its firmest. Then S'Ondra throws him into the wall. Fury's shirt tears as the Princess releases him. He slams into the wall with an audible [I]thud[/I], then tumbles to the ground, the last strands of fabric falling away. He lands on his back with his eyes closed; his body still but for the shallow rise and fall of his chest from breathing. Securely bound, Gustav jerks his whole body to the side, inching his chair toward the nearest computer console. At last, his straining fingers reach the keyboard, and he begins typing as best he can, "Zomething. Zere must be zomething ..." he mutters to himself as he works. Seeing Fury's collapse, Xinthon laughs again. He turns and hurls another bolt of lightning, this time striking the broad expanse of Archie's metal torso. The robot staggers, panels blowing of his body and smoke streaming out of the newly-made holes. With a chitter of alarm, the builder-bot on his shoulder scuttles down his back and clings there, out of the line of fire. "Ja!" Gustav exlaims. He slaps a button on the keyboard in front of him and the engineering room's giant mechanical arm grinds to life, swinging across the room. "You can't escape ze long arm of Doctor Alois Gustav, alien!" Xinthon sees the arm at the last moment. He tries to twist aside, but the heavy metal limb slams into his chest with considerable force. There is an audible [I]crunch[/I], and the D'Bari staggers. "You will [I]pay[/I] for that, old man." Xinthon snarls. He straightens his body and raises both hands. Balls of lightning form around them, sparks arcing back and forth. As the maniacal alien prepares to annihilate her father, Princess S'Ondra crawls over Fury's body, her thighs straddling his hips. She reaches down and twists his head to expose his throat. Then she gives a wordless snarl, lips curling back to expose fang-like incisors, and leans down to feed. [/QUOTE]
