Dead in Space

Pyro guessed the man's look. "We got shot down by Pirates. I blew it up, and got blown up with it. And I'm guessing that they're not too happy with us either, considering our cargo."

"Permission granted Pyro" Zor' said as he walked over to Sorick, "Will you help us?"

Pyro didn't wait for tactics. He simply plunged into the forest and disappeared.

Zoroark watched as Pyro ran into the forest, "Good thing we've got tracking devises"

"I'll help you if you help me," Sorick said as he headed after Pyro. "C'mon, let's go get those pirates!"

Marvin looked at Zor' and said, "I'm goin'!" So he followed Sorick and Pyro and led them towards the place.

After walking a while, Sorick caught up with Pyro. A hew hundred yards off, Sorick saw three escape pods - empty. "Uh oh, we really need to find these guys."

Pyro put up a hand for silence, "DUCK!" He pulled Sorick to the ground only seconds before a blaster bolt whizzed over their heads. Pyro took a knife and blindly threw it. "AW MY SHOULDER! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!" Dozens of bolts flew past them, then all fell silent.

Marvin had just ducked before a bullet whizzed right over his head. When all was silent, he stood up and looked around. Nobody. Nothing. "Pyro, you OK?"

"What the-" A Pirate suddenly yelled and was thrown over Marvin's head and into a tree. Pyro walked toward them and said, "One down, two to go."

Zor' ran up to them, what was that?

"A now dead Pirate." Pyro said simply, gripping his side. Blood stained his hand.

Marvin shook his head and looked at Pyro. "You really need something for your shoulder," he said. But he didn't have much with him.

"Here" Zor' said as he threw a small cloth. "Lets not waist any time".

Pyro simply took something from his sash. When he held it to the light, it began to spark like it a battery. He popped it into his mouth and waited a couple seconds, then took his hand away. The bleeding had stopped and the wound healed.
"There, now I can go after the other tw-" He stared at the pods, the doors were open so he could see inside them. In the three other pods, there were four seats, all four looked to have been used. He looked inside the others, and they looked the same. "Awe shoot," he looked back toward his friends, "There's more than two."

Marvin pushed forward--not rudely, but anxiously--to see if it was true. Sure enough, it was. So he thought it over and said, "Wouldn't it be best if we went back and waited for an attack?"

"Wai- Waited?! That's like asking to be gutted! No way, we have to get everybody off the beach and somewhere more defendable. Besides, its not us they're after, its something we have. Our Cargo," he nodded toward the "new guy", "His technology maybe."

Zor' looked at Sorick.

"What are you're orders Captain?" Pyro felt antsy, he could take on a Pirate, but they were impossible to beat as a pack.

Zor' thought for a moment, "If we can separate them, then they'll be easier to kill, We split up. Marvin, you go through those trees over there, Pyro, you move through the bushes to the left, Sorick...you come with me"

"Captain, what about the crew on the beach? Aren't you going to even try to help them?" Pyro was confused at his Captain, surely he remembered his own crew.

"Sorry, but they're on they're own, and so are we".

"I shoulda known you would be a coward..." Pyro mumbled.

Marvin felt like saying the same thing, so he said, "We can't leave them."

Zor' growled, "Fine, we go get them"
