Goodbye Crysteen

FAREWELL CRYSTEEN

By

Crysteen

2363

Somewhere in deep space of the  League of Non-Aligned Worlds.

The star cruiser Australiana was doing routine patrols in a sector known for pirate attacks, and the crew was more than ready. With sixty fighters, 250 marines, the captain was more than confidant that they were able to deal with any situation. But that usually doesn't end well, because pirates don't play fair or by any regulations. They are sneaky and malicious.

So when the ship was crippled by stealthed space mines, the crew was caught unawares. Engine power overloading, decompression in a large majority of sections, including the bridge and med-bay, chaos ensues. Disorganisation and panic gripped the humans and furs on-board.

One such fur was working in the teleportation room when the klaxon sounded. Fortunate for hir, the doors too the room sealed shut, preventing hir from being suck out into space from the breached hull. Shi immediately tried the com channel to get in touch with the bridge, but no response.

The young vixen was named Crysteen Icewolf. Shi kept trying, but to no prevail. Then shi noticed the flashing console that showed the status of the ship, and cursed with dread.

The coolant for the primary heat exchanges where going to go critical soon, then no-more ship, and no more Crysteen. Shi panicked for a short time, but realised where shi was. The transporter room.

Checking the console, shi saw that it was still operational. So checking the ships schematics, shi once again cursed hir bad luck. All the escape pods were either used or unaccessable due too the rooms in breached conditions.

The computer warning sounded, filling hir once more with dread.

“WARNING! THIS SHIP WILL REACH CRITICAL MASS IN 5 MINUTES. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. I SAY AGAIN, THIS SHIP WILL DETONATE IN 5 MINUTES”

Rushing over too the transporter control, Crysteen checked for any planets within range of the beam. Three were in range, but supported little or no oxygen. Then shi noticed one in the system that was perfect, but it was just barely within range.

Quickly, Crysteen lifted the control panel and started doing an increase of power to the transporters antennae array.

“WARNING! THIS SHIP WILL REACH CRITICAL MASS IN 4 MINUTES. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. I SAY AGAIN, THIS SHIP WILL DETONATE IN 4 MINUTES” reply the computer, adding more stress to the young vixen.

Finally sure of hir work, shi set the co-ordinates and activated the transporter and stepped on the platform. The machine hummed and lit up, the field came down around hir.

“WARNING! THIS SHIP WILL REACH CRITICAL MASS IN 2 MINUTES. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. I SAY AGAIN, THIS SHIP WILL DETONATE IN 2 MINUTES”

Breathing heavy and hoping for the best, Crysteen crossed hir fingers and prepared hirself for beam down. Suddenly the ship shuddered, followed by distant explosions, then sparks and smoke exploded from the transporter console, and then the lights, transporter field and sound ceased.

Sobbing with despair and anger, Crysteen, mother to Frostpaw, life mate to Nordic and mother to be to a new unborn kit, collapsed to the floor and closed hir eyes, waiting for hir inevitable demise.

Then, just like the cruel punchline to a horrendous joke, the computer continued its count down to the end of hir existence.

“WARNING! THIS SHIP WILL REACH CRITICAL MASS IN 55 SECONDS.”

“54”

Crysteen hugged hirself, sobbing and rocking on hir rump.

“53”

Shi remembered the life shi lead, meeting Nordic.

“52”

Seducing him, conceiving Frostpaw.

“51”

Giving birth, teaching hir everything that shi needed to know about life.

“48”

Inventing that awesome cycle, graduating from Engineer and Mechanic Tech.

“39”

Crysteen shivered, tears streaming down hir cheeks as shi remembered hir crazy family. Solarblaze, the lovable chakat. Illumanati the foxtaur herm, who had invited hir mom and hir into hir home with Stephan, hir human mate. Stephillum, the daughter of Stephan and Illumanti..

“25”

Crysteen rubbed hir belly, just slightly swollen with new life, and howled with anguish at the unfairness of the galaxy. Shi had just found out by the ships doctor that shi was 2 months pregnant. Shi was going to wait until shi got back to tell Nordic and Frostpaw, by which time shi would be 8 months pregnant. But now it looks like it wasn't going to happen.

“18”

The young vixen started to hum a tune, and just hearing hirself starting to sing hir mothers lullaby made hir cry more.

If you feel the chill, I shall keep you warm.

If you feel alone, I shall hold you close.

If you feel the pain, I shall share it with you.

If you feel lost, I shall take you home.

 “16”

For no-one is cold when 2 hearts are one.

For no-one is alone when 2 bodies are one.

For no-one is in pain when 2 souls are one.

For no-one is lost when 2 homes are one.

 “14”

So, take my hand and walk with me.

Join with my soul for the life you need.

I shall be yours and you will be mine.

So feel my love, my joy and sorrow.

As I feel yours now and tomorrow.

 “12”

If I feel the chill, will you keep me warm?

If I feel alone, will you hold me close?

If I feel the pain, will you share with me?

If I feel lost, will you take me home with you?

 “10”

For when 2 hearts are one, we aren't cold.

For when 2 bodies are one, we aren't alone.

For when 2 souls are one, we aren't in pain.

For when 2 homes are one, we aren't lost.

 “8”

Will you take my hand and walk with me?

Will you join our souls together for life?

You shall be mine, for all of time.

Let's share our love, our joy and our sorrow.

As we face the future and the new tomorrow.

Crysteen cried and shivered, hir face a mattered mess. Hir hands rubbing the abdomen with love and care. Then waited as the inhuman voice finished the counted.

“6”

Through hir eyelids, Crysteen could see a light shining through.

“5”

But what was strange was, the light wasn't yellow, orange or red, which signified an explosion or fire. In fact, there's no deafening roar or explosion.

“4”

Also, the light had a warm electrical feel to it.

“3”

The light that tried to shine through hir lips were purple.

“2”

Although Crysteen should be frightened, shi felt a calm and peace within hir body and soul.

“1”

Chancing a glimpse at the light, shi had to close them quickly from the brilliance.

“0”

With a sudden flash of orange, red and yellow, the star Cruiser Australiana and Crysteen suddenly ceased to exist in the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, vanished forever in a fireball of brilliance.

Spike, slightly nervous: “So what shall we do Twilight?”

Twilight: “We must inform the Princess right away.”

Door burst open as more voices fill the room.

“TWILIGHT! ARE YOU..... WHAT IN TARNATION!” replied a southern accent voice.

“I saw the bright lights and heard the explosion, Twilight, what is doing on....  EEEEK!” screeched a timid voice.

“OH MY STARS DARLING, WHAT EVER HAVE YOU SUMMONED.” replied a posh accented voice.

“Twilight, who is this gorgeous mare, er colt, er... pony... and where can I get wings like that, they're SOOO AWESOME!!”

I slowly open my eyes and looked around the room and then at the owners of the voices, then I look down at my body and gasp in shock at the hooves and tail. I Crysteen Icewolf scream then fainted....
