Well, one things for sure, we all could have been alot thinner.

"Follow me." Said Davie.
"What, to the flight deck? You heard him, that's where all the zombies
are, and they're dismantling all the shuttles!"
"There might be in luck." Said Davie.

"We'd better be quick. We'll hit the planet's surface in 5 minutes, and I
don't want to be onboard when we do!"
<End Snip>

            "Okay, we
have to move, now! Into the elevator!" said Davie, pushing Justin into the elevator. Davie looked back to see
Holly and his Scutter entourage rolling quickly in after Justin. Davie could feel the ship
begin to accelerate towards the planet. Suddenly the room as rock by a heavy
explosion. "What the hell was that?!" Davie
said, looking at the monitors. One readout showed the ram scoops missing. He
glanced the video communicator and saw it fill with the sadistic, overly mad-up
face Captain Castillo.
 
<Snip>
  "Your ship is
crippled and useless. You have no power and your
hydrogen ram scoop is none existent. Surrender or I will destroy you."
She said, her eyes cold and dark.
<End Snip>
 
            "Smegin
hell!" said Davie
turning to the lift and stepping quickly inside.

            "Holly!"
began Davie,
"The ram scoops have been destroyed! Does that mean we don't have to worry
about being splattered on the surface of the planet?"
            "Well that
depends…" he said. "On what?" asked Davie.
"On how much momentum we already have. If we're going fast enough we won't need
and more speed to get close enough to the planet to get sucked into it's
gravitational pull."
            "Great!"
said Justin, "now we're drifting to
oblivion!"

            The lift
doors opened with a ping and group was met by several zombies. Davie and Justin began unloading their
ammunition into every holographic entity in their way. "We've got to hurry!"
said Justin, "It's still a good minuet and a half run to any ships! If any of them are still operable!"

3:44
3:43
 
            "I've got
an idea!" said Davie,
jumping on the back of one of the Scutters. "These guys are faster than us! Hop
on one Justin!"
            "You've got
to be smegging kidding me!!" said Justin as he climbed onto the back of a
Scutter. "GO!!" yelled Davie,
and the group began speeding down the corridor at break neck speed.

3:21
 
            Zombies
flew past them as the blazed down the corridor on the backs the Scutters. A
zombie grabbed onto the body of Davie's
Scutter, holding tight. Davie
leveled his shot gun with it's head. "Bye, bye." he said, pulling the trigger. Davie half turned to
Justin to see him clocking another zombie on the H with the butt of his pistol.
Davie could see
out the window the planet rushing up towards them, flames enveloping the ship
in a blaze.

            The
Scutters screeched to a halt outside the flight deck doors, their rubber tires
smoking. "Come on!" shouted Davie
as opened the doors, blasting a Zombie out the way. They ran forward, their
guns blazing into every zombie in sight as they search for an intact ship. "There!"
shouted Justin, pointing to a black Star Bug with it's landing door open.
"Everyone in!!" yelled Davie
as he cut down another zombie. The Scutters scrambled inside, followed by
Holly. Davie
stood at the bottom of the ramp, firing again, as Justin made his way up.

Davie to head up the ramp when, from
underneath it, the Sim jumped out, punching him in the stomach. Davie doubled over, the
punch denting his exoskeleton. The Sim lifted him slowly to his feet, pulling
off his helmet with one massive hand held him up with the other. From atop the
ramp Justin fired three shots at the killer droid. His bullets bounced
harmlessly off the Sim's hardened body. The Sim raised his arm and hurled Davie helmet at him,
hitting him in shoulder, knocking him in the wall of the Star Bug. Davie raised his shotgun
to the Sim's chest and fired. The Sim stumbled backwards as the weapon fired
it's hard light payload into his body. Davie
swung the shot gun's pistol grip into the Sim's face, knocking him to the
floor.

            Davie scrambled up the
ramp, pulling Justin inside and hitting the close button. "You alright?" he
asked Justin. "Yeah." said Justin, shaking his head clear. Davie scooped up his helmet from the floor.
"Come on, we need to get to the cockpit!" he said, hauling Justin to his feet.

            Justin and Davie sat in the pilot's
seats, Justin revved the engines, and the Star Bug lifted off the ground with a
slight scrapping noise coming from one of the landing struts. "Uhh…Davie?"
"I see it!"
"What now?" asked Justin, looking
at the closed bay doors. "Fly straight at them!" said Davie, standing from his seat and stepping
over the waste disposal unit. Davie
grabbed a fire extinguisher and an oxygen bottle off the wall, loading them in.

"Davie!!" yelled Justin.
"I know!"
Davie pressed the "Dispose" button next to
the unit. The canisters shot out at the doors, the makeshift air bomb exploding
wha-whump!

            The Star
Bug shot out of the falling ship. They were being dragged down by the current
of air surrounding parallel Blue Dwarf.

Davie
and Justin strained to pull up as they were drug downwards.

Justin and Davie
braced for the imminent impact.

The Star Bug pulled clear, the bottom of the ship screeching
along the ground. Blue Dwarf slammed into the ground behind them, the thick
metal hull buckling under it's own weight. They pulled up several miles, and
turned to face the wrecked ship. It's hull bet and buckled against the rock
surface of the planet. Smoke raising from it as the dust settled around it's
pancacked body. "Hang on," said Holly, "there's a couple of things you guys
should know."
            "What now?"
asked Davie and
Justin in unison. "Well," began Holly, "first off, the self destruct warhead on
Blue Dwarf has been armed. There's no telling when it might go off. When it
does though, we'd better be far enough away to survive a 30 megaton nuclear
blast."
            "30
Megaton!!??" screamed Davie,
"That's ridiculous!! Have you any idea what that can do?? Suck the paint of
your house and give your family a permanent orange afro!"
            "And the
second problem?" asked Justin. "The second problem is that we've lost most of
our engine power in the escape, and the engines are damaged. We're going to
have our own crash in about 30 seconds."
            "WHAT!!?"
Justin and Davie
yelled. Justin spun the ship towards the plant, aiming for the opening to one
of the surface landing platforms. The small ragtag crew of scutters, Holly,
Justin, and Davie
held on for dear life as the Star Bug plummeted towards the landing platform.
The engines cut out, and Justine and Davie
looked at each other worriedly. The Platform door open automatically as they
approached. They braced themselves, and the Star Bug crashed into an
underground cavern. They screeched along a metal floor and then screamed to a
stop.
 
 
<Tag Justin! By the way, I think the Sim might be hanging
on the landing struts. Plus I'm fairly sure that there will be zombies out
there.>
