Flight of The Avali: Season One

In The Dome Moments before Einuli ejected the Battleship’s reactor coolant:

The group who had held up in the bridge of the battleship were unceremoniously dumped onto the floor of the armory. At first they were all stunned, quiet even, unsure of what had just happened. Well… except for Oxoloc who had teleported them out. He was looking around for someone.

“Ox, what’s wrong… all of us are here.” Dandy said quietly. “Except Einuli…” He sighed.

“That’s the thing… he was right by the teleporter cor-” Oxoloc was cut off as Starlight teleported down, she looked both distressed and mournful.

“Twilight did you detect Luna’s magic at all?” Starlight asked quickly.

“No… wh- Wait…”

“Damn it! She went after Einuli then! They’re both going to die!” Starlight just collapsed, unable to handle the thought of both of them dying in one sweep.

“Oh gods…” Twilight muttered.

“DAMN IT!” Dandy threw his helmet down, smashing the visor and light. “DAMN IT ALL!”

Just as that happened several alarms began to go off, the glow from the lights wasn’t red however…

“What the hell, how did something happen to the chaos inhibitor?” Oxoloc and Chotl said simultaneously, both getting up at the sight of the glowing green lights.

“Because. I need as much chaotic energy as possible to pull this stupidity out of my ass.”

Meanwhile:

Luna hauled Einuli into the vehicle storage. Inside there were old tanks and APC’s.

“T-tank… B-big cannon…” Was all Einuli could mutter out. He was losing blood fast at this point. At least… she could get his body back for his friends to bury…

She bit back tears, carrying the dying Avali to a tank. The old vehicle was hard to open, especially since she didn’t want to risk setting Einuli down. Her magic wretched the hatch open. She climbed in, setting Einuli down in the seat beside her. Surprisingly the old tank still had a bit of power left after she figured out how to turn it on.

“C… close…” Einuli muttered.

She reached up and closed the hatch, thankfully once it closed the compartment pressurized. She saw something as the lights kicked on, a medical kit!

She opened it up quickly and did what little she could to staunch the bleeding from Einuli’s missing hand and torn up arm.

“H-hope there’s ammo… F-fire… wall…” Einuli mumbled. “P-pressure s-should f-fire us o-out to space…”

Luna nodded, quickly taking up the controls, thankfully she was able to figure out how to fire, blowing a massive hole in the wall.

The pressure did miraculously pull them out, as the ship’s automatic systems slammed the door to the storage shut. But, it didn’t take them very far, very fast. Now Luna channeled as much energy as she had left, trying to teleport them closer to Equus.

She underestimated how far she could get them. Only going far enough away from the ship for it to not matter when it exploded. But she was left utterly drained, “G-gods… no… w-we’re both g-going to die…”

“I-I’m sorry…” Einuli muttered quietly.

“Don’t be…” Luna smiled weakly. “Y-you tried your hardest… we both did now…”

“I c-couldn’t… save you…” Einuli passed out, his head hitting the controls in front of him.

Luna couldn’t hold back tears as she too collapsed. She was giving up now, it was… truly pointless. At least though… they’d know she tried. Know… she wanted to make up for everything.

The reactors exploded, and it was the final thing she saw before blacking out. Equus was rendered safe and protected once again thanks to the little raptor that gave his life for a planet that cared so little for him…

Unbeknownst to them, the laws of physics had been bent quite a bit…
