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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquEk7ulx5q
Magnolia stood on the top of the toilet seat pointing down at the ground where a fuzzy brown spider skittered about.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZPIJ4XzIX
Lena gave of a heafty chuckle clearly enjoying the scene before her. "Lil Princess its just a spider."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb9wm6WNxk
"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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE7zXUYE8Y
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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9K5HhOwB4
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. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3uZ26VhcH
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. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsEjIxMxwh
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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNrjUT5Ra6
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." 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu7nVZHstO
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB4meEDDXW
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. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisJXI2Hegy
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 begged231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJF79sBLK
Veronica seemed offended. "Never! No one touches my baby but me! I may not know how to fix my boy, but I'll learn."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrNELW6yIc
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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsoWvVie5n
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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9UgtTiK9
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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDHcnt5vAL
"Good timing Helt, I was about to send Magnolia down to find you." Lena chuckled. "Let's head out and get this overwith."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnl5h8jhDm
Magnolia anxiously climbed into the escape pod. She could feel her heart beating in her throat like she was about to throw up.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88m7cAxNiR
Helt slid into the pod confidently with Lena following. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpRNXnj1IW
"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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn2xbB1TNR
"Or! We'll get to beat up some baddies." Helt chimed.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1wFGIQaf
Lena sighed. "Yes that may be a possibility." she rubbed her temple.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCMYqp7hC2
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. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbql54pGFJX
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWohBtkIC
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOb1SHVvNr
"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?" 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgrvqEMbpt
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. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8k14Pkvtv
"Well, The short path would be best." Magnolia chimed. "We will be able to get to those in need faster."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060Xsv1Lie
Helt chuckled. "See? She's learning, sides we'll go down the longer path eventually."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinV054CCzZ
Lena patted Magnolia on the head and they set off.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yOEoIGKNi
They walked down the halls the dim lights from before getting brighter and brighter before they came to the door of navigation. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqbb0RIyRJ
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3OahwLgqy
Magnolia sighed hearing speaking from inside. She couldn't make out what they were saying but the person inside seemed pretty panicked. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhH5yvHp7F
Magnolia jumped hearing the sound of walking down the hall they came from. 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m69xwASPl
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaxmCLSV1A
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlLBeqyC8A
"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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsYk297ivk
"Woah hold on." Lena grimaced. "You didn't tell us that this ship was powered by nucular energy. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?" 231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrSb7qCZZ8
"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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZHlSZ75Hn
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?"231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEdB2rjjAg
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?231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRwKkauirX
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAcKoJtmNA
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQz2vV5DA2
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYN4RM1T1P
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!231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRguWDZzD3L
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuAf53yj2n
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?231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpewZKymWN
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 bursts231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMTKP1NJbW
Magnolia's eyes landed on the source of the gunfire, one of the crew shook profusly as it shot at the beast.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr1Mo7Y8b8
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSchTGHxa
She took her first breath in almost a minute, Magnolia didn't even realize that she had been holding her breath the hole time.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP0qy2fqbY
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC7qbC5A23
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfw7Mggkei
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3105sDkrDf
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNchSfP3ZmC
"I'm in the control room how do i turn on the power?" she asked into the comms.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQR7iMtUjZ
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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb9Liw3W4A
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3So9FO40op
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 webs231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqf6ktZRRL
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzaXlBpy4C
She shivered. The only way out of here was to trn on the power which meant touching those gross webs.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfIc6ZDY3w
"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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V8ITxdVmk
Lights flickered in the room and the temperture slowly went back to normal.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f9y5DiDs8
Magnolia jumped for joy. She did it, she wasn't a comeplete failure.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlKKKdInzW
Her vivtory was short lived as the hissing of the far too familar beast came from behind.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUz4newoDl
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhr47ZSXqf
Nothing happened for a few seconds Magnolia's heart beating faster at the possiblity of her being wrong.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3i0iJiek7
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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJkXMilIjt
Magnolia's heart swelled as she hugged the large spider and embraced it's fluffiness.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OqCXH8oeo
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."231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGqj5sSJ02
It seemed that the spider was more scared of her to begin with than she was of it231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7an1suOUY
THE END231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREyCRaVr5K
