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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT0AkVwmdJ
Magnolia stood on the top of the toilet seat pointing down at the ground where a fuzzy brown spider skittered about.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7teujIZnEe
Lena gave of a heafty chuckle clearly enjoying the scene before her. "Lil Princess its just a spider."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxPdHeOLQn
"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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rctvHrWi9
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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOx6arTiX0
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. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd8XWGPUhD
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. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf078oFfsNF
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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5s708mJHg
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." 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tgUG4rUl2
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE2lyznTrS
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. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9blTPrcIl
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 begged228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru83uYW9Qc
Veronica seemed offended. "Never! No one touches my baby but me! I may not know how to fix my boy, but I'll learn."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oiAe8Mfbx
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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6yCDvLCLU
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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz69aFY9vnz
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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn3uB2bb2H
"Good timing Helt, I was about to send Magnolia down to find you." Lena chuckled. "Let's head out and get this overwith."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHPB3rky3x
Magnolia anxiously climbed into the escape pod. She could feel her heart beating in her throat like she was about to throw up.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla6jDnag1F
Helt slid into the pod confidently with Lena following. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJSZB0su6C
"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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTu9JXIqW
"Or! We'll get to beat up some baddies." Helt chimed.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQiS7Bm847
Lena sighed. "Yes that may be a possibility." she rubbed her temple.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfhmzYEd4
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. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYAfxvj1Bk
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJQBcqtCPd
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvgt8AX41i
"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?" 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0lE1TUsn
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. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM25dvqlJm
"Well, The short path would be best." Magnolia chimed. "We will be able to get to those in need faster."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2PZzhimel
Helt chuckled. "See? She's learning, sides we'll go down the longer path eventually."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnbxD5t4QM
Lena patted Magnolia on the head and they set off.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FXL0tGN7B
They walked down the halls the dim lights from before getting brighter and brighter before they came to the door of navigation. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyijXE10Jd
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWmvpdmOTN
Magnolia sighed hearing speaking from inside. She couldn't make out what they were saying but the person inside seemed pretty panicked. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVa8oIzDpf
Magnolia jumped hearing the sound of walking down the hall they came from. 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJu5TQKx5R
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwCcKckOeY
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wgYM2WM0x
"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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Rg7sV6lq
"Woah hold on." Lena grimaced. "You didn't tell us that this ship was powered by nucular energy. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?" 228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBEOKqcR1g
"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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWxEIe43hs
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?"228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCuXHvmX3w
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?228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IPF47CT31
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkL7g0r3Gb
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEn4A0N0nl
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmDRJM7VEV
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!228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGRCOTogNS
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwme1cIgXF
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?228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX9WdjLfST
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 bursts228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgOj1sXQyu
Magnolia's eyes landed on the source of the gunfire, one of the crew shook profusly as it shot at the beast.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR2C4jP1kU
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7SNOS1DTQ
She took her first breath in almost a minute, Magnolia didn't even realize that she had been holding her breath the hole time.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD3ZinFrB8
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ISD7q2iFj
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYcmQdgDwb
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoMBA0tadR
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgK0xOc3q
"I'm in the control room how do i turn on the power?" she asked into the comms.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu3A6IFSFN
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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9w9btHY01
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iDksilMsq
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 webs228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDQi7DH9PD
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhR1PgKIkN
She shivered. The only way out of here was to trn on the power which meant touching those gross webs.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMqh2sgg2T
"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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99XsLIAAfC
Lights flickered in the room and the temperture slowly went back to normal.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVhuDogWaX
Magnolia jumped for joy. She did it, she wasn't a comeplete failure.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdADfLG5gd
Her vivtory was short lived as the hissing of the far too familar beast came from behind.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh30WKVNEh
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PQsARPnhu
Nothing happened for a few seconds Magnolia's heart beating faster at the possiblity of her being wrong.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPblc26Jn1u
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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKmYl3AZki
Magnolia's heart swelled as she hugged the large spider and embraced it's fluffiness.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4goiL0xxZc
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."228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjWmh3pwrI
It seemed that the spider was more scared of her to begin with than she was of it228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmbFsZEXaa
THE END228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud1tQTA6bg
