Adamantine, even after plummeting through many miles of atmosphere fast
enough to glow as brightly as a miniature sun, can still look really shiny
after it lands.
Mihoshi liked shiny objects.
Mihoshi is a jackdaw? :)
And now Mihoshi found herself stranded on a far off planet, in the middle
of who knew where, confronted with a bright, shiny object of unknown
origin.
Suggest: 'where, and confronted'
Sa'bre Stargrave was not the only one to notice the movement. Flying
directly towards the blip indicated on her own locater, Fera realized that
the distance between her and the target was closing at a slightly slower
pace than before, and she hadn't slowed down.
Suggest: 'than before, even though she hadn't'
Oh yes. And her outfit was beginning to ride up her backside, making her
feel very uncomfortable. That was very bad too. Mihoshi absolutely hated
wedgies.
Hehehe.
With all of the pertinent information in, a plan of action was laid out.
Taking care of the wedgie would have to wait; she needed to get rid of her
extra weight and draw the Katasan away from Tenchi. She hit a button that
detached the anti-grav sled from the rear of her bike. Once that fell free,
there was only one more thing she needed to get rid of.
"I'll be sure to pick you up later, Tenchi."
"What are you talking abWOAW!" Tenchi found himself pushed off the bike,
dropping the ten feet below like a rock and landing on his backside.
Suggest: 'talking ab--WOAH!"'
As he stood up and reoriented himself, he saw Mihoshi increase the speed of
her bike and arc quickly to the left. "What do you think you'rAGH!" Tenchi
And: 'think you'r--ARGH!"' or 'you'r--AHHH!"'
"I don't think you're listening to me!"
Another blast answered her again.
Suggest: 'answered her yet again.'
That Mihoshi had evaded certain destruction was a cause for relief. That in
doing so she ended up pulling into the forest of tall stone spires at an
incredibly dangerous speed was decidedly not a cause for relief. Mihoshi
confirmed this as she, with a great deal of difficulty, managed to balance
out her bike, then became aware of her surroundings just in time to pull to
the right and miss the twelve foot wide pillar of stone that she nearly
crashed into at a speed in excess of two hundred kilometers an hour.
I sense a great influence of Star Wars. :)
It had taken Fera a full minute to catch up to Mihoshi. The course the
blonde was using in order to get through the stone obstacle course was
Hmm. I'd change one of the 'course's in the sentence. Maybe 'path' for the
first.
It wasn't fair. There were still so many things she had wanted to do. Like
become a Galaxy Police officer. No.
Suggest: 'becoming a Galaxy Police officer.'
Wait. She had become one. Well, she
wanted to see the brilliant displays of auroras around Praxian Took during
its winter solstice.
'Praxian Took'? Is that a planetful of hobbits? :)
No. Wait. She had done that last year. There was that
exotic Yourgina delicacy, Phlegm Bistrol,
Eeeew!
Fera gaped in open astonishment as Mihoshi did an unbelievably difficult
maneuver between a rocky outcropping and a huge pillar lying across the
left. When Fera tried the same thing, she came so close to the pillar that
it nicked her ear. It was impossible! How could a mere human learn to fly
with such skill and at such speeds?
Umm, Mihoshi's not human, is she?
And even more impossible was that
Mihoshi's aerial skills had seemed to improve a three fold for no apparent
reason.
But as vexing as it was to Fera, still she felt her blood begin to sing in
response to the race. This was life in its purest form. Two opponents
racing with death right behind them, nipping at their heels as it waited
for someone to miss that crucial turn or go up instead of down and end up
broken across the land. It was what all Katasans were born for, and what
they all ultimately craved.
Yes, it was a good day to die. :)
And once again dropped like a rock into the ground.
Suggest: 'like a rock to the ground.'
"Ouch," Mihoshi moaned as she got up off the bike, rubbing her sore behind.
Cut the power off slowly, she reminded herself. Next time she would
remember for sure. But now she had other more important things to do. She
was in unknown territory, far from any back up, and had been shot at by at
least one individual. Who knew how many others might be right behind her?
The situation was tense. The situation was dangerous. The situation called
for one clear course of action.
Mihoshi picked the wedgie out of her bottom.
ROFL!
Mihoshi half turned away from Fera; the idea that the Katasan might have
been lying never crossing her mind. She tried to consider the full
ramifications of a betrayal in the Galaxy Police. As with all organizations
the size of the Galaxy Police, there was some corruption in the ranks,
though it was thankfully small due to good training and internal security.
If it was just limited to three officers, that wouldn't be so bad. And the
officers that Fera
Suggest: 'that the Katasan' since Mihoshi doesn't know her name and the
sentence seems to be her thoughts of the matter.
Fera's unblinking gaze was the only answer she still held for Mihoshi. This
time the Galaxy Police officer made certain the felinoid was dead, rather
than assuming it as she had before. Unfortunately, as she had feared, this
time it was final. And Mihoshi had made very certain of it. Perhaps waiting
until rigor mortis set in was a bit too cautious, but she didn't want to
take any chances. After all, some alien races, like the Hedghogans, could
play dead for hours if they felt so inclined. Nothing but the most rigorous
of medical scans would show that they were actually alive. Curiously, they
had a high rate of employment at insurance companies, mostly in the claims
departments.
'Hedghogans' deserve applause as a novel concept. :)
Mihoshi considered what to do. "Well, the temperature really doesn't bother
me. Nights on Mensa tend-"
"Mensa?" Tenchi interrupted.
"My homeworld," Mihoshi explained. "Anyway, nights there tend to be a bit
Hehe. 'Mensa' is perfect as the homeworld for Mihoshi's IQ level. So, does this
make her a Mensan? :)
Mihoshi laid down on the ground, next to the bike. "Sure. It's one of the
basics taught to us in survival courses. It's no big deal. I had to do it a
couple of times with Kiyone. Like when we were stranded on one of the moons
around Polgar 9. And another time when we were on a stakeout on Hoth and I
Missed the Polgar ref, but Hoth is cold alright. :)
Sa'bre Stargrave sat, brooding in the darkness of the ruins of his bridge.
Suggest: in the darkened ruins of his'
Nice chapter. This isn't going to be as long as Shampoo 1/2, is it? :)
Awaiting more.
