The high pitched scream echoed throuout the entire spacecraft. the thumping of feet growing louder as Lena slammed the bathroom door open. "What's wrong?" She called out her hand staitioned on the hilt of her gun.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSV7v3fZmY
Magnolia stood on the top of the toilet seat pointing down at the ground where a fuzzy brown spider skittered about.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiahJuYfPM
Lena gave of a heafty chuckle clearly enjoying the scene before her. "Lil Princess its just a spider."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD86PspMQXM
"Eep!" Magnolia tensed realising that the spider had seemingly dissapeared. The lingering fear of the spider coming out from whatever crevice it crawled into to once again strike the fear of god into Magnolia.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEwIRQR1Z7
Lena was clearly holding back a river of laughter as she gave Magnolia her hand. "Come on, we'll deal with the itsy bitsy spider when we get back, there's been a distress signal. We're to check it out."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIwJhKiBSH
Magnolia really didn't want to go, she wasn't the strongest person, nor the fastest. Really compaired to the others the only thing she was good at was getting scared over trivial things. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxJ4EcHu27
Magnolia shook her head. "I'm not sure I should go, I won't be of any help." She rubbed her arm looking down embarrassed. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl9PlZiOUh
Lena patted Magnolia on the head ruffling up her snow white hair. "Yeah, it wasn't a suggestion lil Princess, don't forget who's in charge here. You're coming weather you like it or not."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTuiwXGIfM
Magnolia walked with Lena feeling smaller and smaller. "There's nothing to worry about, Me and Helt will be with you. Sides its probably nothing, but if it's not we'll keep you safe." 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWxaIlVuE0
Magnolia knew Lena was just trying to make her feel better, but really it made her feel worse. She didn't want to have to be protected.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9vgCdyVVP
Lena lead Magnolia to the debreifing room where the others weere waiting for them. The room was simular to an observatory, it doubled as the poilets pit where the pilot Veronica manned the ship. The glass dome was tinted as small balls of light illuminated the room. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFRgZXxHyy
Veronica, a Altean like Magnolia was crouched under the dash fiddling with some wires while a Amphibian named Kivv stood behind her. "Veronica please just let me fix the ship." He begged234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eDsDo0TAS
Veronica seemed offended. "Never! No one touches my baby but me! I may not know how to fix my boy, but I'll learn."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9x6KO5Hdl
Kivv gave off and exasperated sigh, "We're having trouble with the navigation systems, it WOULD'VE been fixed by now if SOMEONE wasn't so stubborn."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2eWzpjyxr
Lena though for a second, "We'll take the escape pod then. We need to head down there as soon as possible. We have no clue what's happening."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCZ2NJV7eB
A man strolled in pulling his blonde hair away form his freakled purple face. "Sounds good to me, there's only three of us going down anyways. No reason to bring the whole ship, might make the people abourd nervous."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdaYhymh0q
"Good timing Helt, I was about to send Magnolia down to find you." Lena chuckled. "Let's head out and get this overwith."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWt9amSNnK
Magnolia anxiously climbed into the escape pod. She could feel her heart beating in her throat like she was about to throw up.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdFntU3L5
Helt slid into the pod confidently with Lena following. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtQXXpbMQ
"Remember we're just going to make sure everything's alright." Lena glared in Helt's direction. "No fighting," She turned to Magnolia. "And no wondering off. We don't know why they sent the distress signal, it could've been by mistake."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbDN7oNXUR
"Or! We'll get to beat up some baddies." Helt chimed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDiIOoYOhx
Lena sighed. "Yes that may be a possibility." she rubbed her temple.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5GdY8ChID
Magnolia knew from the look of Lena's face that she was stressed. Magnolia noticed that Lena tended to be stressed when she wasn't in control. Best not to wonder off like Lena said. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoRMLqBjOG
When the Escape pod docked on the ship the others got out without hesitation. Inside the lights were dim as if it was in low power mode. The hallways were empty dispite the size of the ship. "Shouldn't this ship be bussling with people? A ship this size would need at least a hundred people to man it. There should be at least one or two people in the area." Magnolia pointed out.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhauD1YO6jH
Lena sighed pulling open a pannel next to where the Escape pod landed. She plugged her wristband into the outlet and downloaded the floorplan. Truning back to the others she pulled up the floorplan as a hologram. "We should make our way to navigation theres sure to be one person there to tell us what happened. Its usually the most secure place in a ship, if something happened, the crew would be gathered there." Lena looked to Magnolia.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPNEJlF7qs
"Theres two routes, the longer one would be better for checking the entire ship. But the shorter route will get us to navigation faster. What do you think?" 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8LQmSKCM2
Magnolia was surprised, was Lena really asking her opinion on this? There was a glimmer in her eye. This was her chance to prove herself. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFi0ehoaup
"Well, The short path would be best." Magnolia chimed. "We will be able to get to those in need faster."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mdtfKrujX
Helt chuckled. "See? She's learning, sides we'll go down the longer path eventually."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U0aj7xumB
Lena patted Magnolia on the head and they set off.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0edgGyGD
They walked down the halls the dim lights from before getting brighter and brighter before they came to the door of navigation. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL1W33FiE9
Lena made her way inside with Helt following close behind. "Magnolia, watch the door, alert me if you see anything." Lena called before turning to a young man cowering under a table inside.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUEAYfjSM1
Magnolia sighed hearing speaking from inside. She couldn't make out what they were saying but the person inside seemed pretty panicked. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ2XD8RsAX
Magnolia jumped hearing the sound of walking down the hall they came from. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qFI9zr7ae
She should tell Lena about what she heard, but she maybe she could prove herself to the others that she could be of use by checking it out on her own. She didn't want to be labled a scardycat her whole life.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0USRs4u4J
Magnolia starts walking down the call, just when she was about to poke her head around the corner the lights suddenly darken leaving Magnolia alone in darkness. She darts back to the door to find it closed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KVdI6fFoL
"No no no no no!" The boy called out. "The powers out! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE." the boy started hyperventalating. "If the powers out that means we can't open any of the doors. And if the powers out that mean the reactors going to blow."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseUamERXHv
"Woah hold on." Lena grimaced. "You didn't tell us that this ship was powered by nucular energy. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?" 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ez7qPr7r0
"We're gonna be dead in a couple hours if the powers not turned on. Please tell me there at least one person out side."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYOXy1GU8N
Lena rubbed her temple and called out from behind the door. "You're still out there right Magnolia. Sorry, but it seems you'll have to turn on the power. I'm sending you the blueprint of the ship. I wish I was out there to helo you but SOMEONE neglected to tell us the full story. Keep your coms open alright?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4a87BRWB7
Magnolia's heart began to race rapidly. "Uhhhhhhhhhh s-sure thats fine it'll be fine." what about the sounds she heard before? What should she do?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOROqYXu4VU
Magnolia shook her head and pulled up the blueprints. She needed to clear her mind. She was alone on the ship, all she needed to do was turn on the power.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZrs2IfjFP
Magnolia darted down the halls, she could do this. She navigated along the path accationally glancing back at the blueprints to get a sense of where she was.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYeZeCDlqo
The tempature began to drop. It was a cold heat simular to dry ice. The cold felt like burning, she was close. Magnolia got to the reactor door and tugged at it. "Please present your I.D" Of course you would need an ID to get into a room with an illigal source of power.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE3W9LjIhl
She felt the hair on the back of her neck start to rise. She wasn't alone. Magnolia wanted to tuck tail and run, she wanted to hide away from the unknown danger. She was scared and too pridful to admit it alloud. But she had to do something, anything please just MOVE!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg74gUtfAf
Fear flooded Magnolia's body holding her in a death grip afraid to move mustle. There was heavy breathing behind her the hot breath of the being that scoured these halls traveled down her neck. The two stood there for what felt like an eterity. The creature was clearly deciding if it should kill her. This struck fear into Magnolia's hear that she had never felt before.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUHQXt0VYY
She had no clue what this thing looked like, but it's shadow loomed over her and casted down upon the door at least giving Magnolia an idea on how large this thing was. What did it look like? Why was it here? Why isn't it attacking yet?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzMBaIBoJq
She was too scared to turn around but maybe that was the best option. The creature began to move away before BLAM! BLAM! the sounds of a blaster started going off causing Magnolia to whip around. The creature was only illuminated in the sparce seconds when the gun fired showing it's dark brown fur in small bursts234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGao04y1D5
Magnolia's eyes landed on the source of the gunfire, one of the crew shook profusly as it shot at the beast.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6otSKT11a
Magnolia could't move the beast seemed scared. The monster in the short glimpses Magnolia recived as it ripped through the crew member screeching in fear and anger. It skittered away running on what sounded like hundreds of legs clattering on the cold hard floor echoing down the halls.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy6HdMEXni
She took her first breath in almost a minute, Magnolia didn't even realize that she had been holding her breath the hole time.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn8Assgm9u
Tears began to flood Magnolia's vision, once again fear had held her back, fear had made it so others suffered. She failed to save this person and it was all her fault for freezing. She should have done something, anything.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNmsz379Wv
Magnolia couldn't make that mistake again. She crouched down next to the body and searched it gathering the Crew Member's ID card. "John Smith." She hesitantly spoke choking up on the verge of crying again. The guy probably had a family, someone who will miss him.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Knlf8PwUq
She rubbed her eyes with her sleeve and walked to the door scanning the ID card. "Identification complete, welcome JOHN SMITH." The door clicked allowing Magnolia to open it.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61P4GtPkfx
A wave of blazing heat hit Magnolia. The burning cold was replaced with a burning heat. She could feel her skin burning but she pushed through.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m87cwk00O
"I'm in the control room how do i turn on the power?" she asked into the comms.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1iHzdxuP2
Lena spoke, "The guy in here says that no errors have occured. someone must have manually turned it off. There should be a switch in there."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgln5DBUgCy
Magnolia breathed in and out. She searched oround and found a lever labled 'Power switch DO NOT TURN OFF' in all caps. Yeah no shiz, this is what happens when you turn off the power.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCOtHBy3gT
Magnolia pulled the lever but it pulled back in the opposite directedion. She leaned in close and found that the ever was covered in webs. "AHH! spider web." Magnolia pulled bakc quickly looking around the room to see if there were any other webs234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p7sAxF7Yv
Magnolia looked up and jumped as she saw the largest web she had ever seen in her life. the evtire roof was covered wall to wall with wevs striking fear in magnolia's heart. Up in the rafters were multiple people tied up in those large webs. It seemed they were still alive as they were wriggling about trying to escape.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASW9hot4xf
She shivered. The only way out of here was to trn on the power which meant touching those gross webs.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXczXOCZby
"Screw this!" Magnolia was fed up with these stupid webs. She pulled out her gun and shot off the webs and quickly pulling the lever.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOvn45RXFh
Lights flickered in the room and the temperture slowly went back to normal.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEIS8bBr0R
Magnolia jumped for joy. She did it, she wasn't a comeplete failure.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1WB3v63An
Her vivtory was short lived as the hissing of the far too familar beast came from behind.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTPZrxZp4
Magnolia held out her hand her eyes shut tight. The only time the creature had attacked so far was when it was startled. Event the people in the rafters were still alive (Though could be for food later.) She hoped she was right.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcoXYwbsZD
Nothing happened for a few seconds Magnolia's heart beating faster at the possiblity of her being wrong.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk4FZXDCTo
But then something soft pressed against her hand nuzzling into it. Magnolia's eyes slowly opened to see a large spider. She wasn't scared like she usually would, in fact it was cute in a weird sort of way. Those large beady eyes giving her puppy dog vibes.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsCwo94i3h
Magnolia's heart swelled as she hugged the large spider and embraced it's fluffiness.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncUfhjGzn8
After a few minutes Lena burst in with a worried look on her face only to see Magnolia happily petting the large spider. "Don't worry it's friendly."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ozLz3lr63
It seemed that the spider was more scared of her to begin with than she was of it234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumnc9e0gg7
THE END234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0HDmUuo5m
