Blaze of Glory

Warning : This is a long post, mainly because it is a joint post from Becca/Tara, Andy/Jay and myself, Chris/Phil....please enjoy...and yes, this is what I've been hiting about for the last few weeks.
Jay banked left, trying to keep the shuttle under control after Phil let off a kinetic mine. One of the many weapons jay had installed on the Ragnarok.. WHAT was he thinking?... he should have given it a spud gun, maybe an elastic band gun and had done with it.
The Phoenix was suddenly rocked with an impact from above, something had.. DOCKED?! at this speed?!
The small escape pod had successfully docked with the Phoenix and Tara walked into the cockpit carrying a rather large bazoikoid
"CHRYSLER CREATURE!" she screamed. Jay looked around puzzled at the sound of a voice saying Chrysler creature that was not Keto's
"Tara?" he asked, shocked, quickly swinging round to pull the Phoenix up before he slammed into the Blue Dwarfs communication tower "what the hell are you doing?"
"STOPPING YOU FROM KILLING MY PHIL!"
"I've got no intention of killing him, just of stopping him from blowing the big blue one outta the sky, and scattering it all over the cosmos!"
"but look" Tara thrust the note at Jay her voice beginning to crack again
"Can u kinda READ IT OUT! I'm sorta. flying a SPACESHIP here... I need to be able to you know SEE!!"
** On board the Ragnarok **
Phil watched as the escape pod docked with the Phoenix. Who was that fool to try such a dangerous manoeuvre at that speed. They must be stupid.... or very desperate....
Phil spied the Phoenix suddenly veer away from the BD. He reached out for the controls, his hand shaking with the effort and punched the comm. systems...
"Chrysler, if your there I need your help....."
"My help?...... him.. OK I'll do whatever it takes to blow up the Blue Dwarf!" jay said sarcastically "come on man, I aint gonna let ya do it... that's where I keep all my stuff"
"PHIL!" she said "Oh Phil you're alive"
Phil saw Tara on the monitor.... "Tara. WTF are YOU doing there......"
"I wont let you do it. I got your letter look" she held her hand up so Phil could see it on the monitor.
Jay slid back into the pilots seat while Tara talked... "Crazy.. she wanna crash.?" he muttered under his breath..
"Jay... I't's me Phil. The guy who spoke at your wedding..... Your best man... Your freind.... I need one last favour from you..... The door to this ship is sealed shut. I can't get out. Pretty soon He's going to have control and that'll be it"
Jay replayed Phil's wedding speech over in his head, he couldn't let this guy down.
Tara sobbed in the background whilst Phil talked about killing himself.
"The sad thing is, you built this ship too well. There nothing on your craft that could even make a dent on this baby. It'll take a bomb powerful enough to blow up a small city to......" Phil paused. A smile lit up on his face......
"Don't go playing with suns, ditn your mother ever tell you?"
Tara looked out of the window and saw the near by sun, suddenly it dawned on Tara what Phil was going to do.
"Phil! You can't! What about Amber and Rufus?" she howled over the comms
Jay now deaf in one ear, manoeuvred towards the Raganrok... tapping some keys on Kelly's controls panel.. "I got an idea..."
Phil plugged himself into the Ragnarok control. Although the thought of doing what he had planned appealed, he couldn't do it here. too many life's
"Ragnarok, get us to a distance of 1 billion kilometres from the BD , maximum burn......" The ship accelerated at speeds approaching that of light....
"Where the hell's he going?" Jay slammed the throttle into full burn, nearly blowing the engines keeping up with the Ragnarok, Jay started to regret being good at building ships...
"JAY! You got to follow him! He's going to a sun! follow him!" Tara reached for the controls but Jay smacked her hand away
"You want us to crash first?"
The Ragnarok spoke to Phil in his mind "Course laid in. Destination Proxima Centurai. " Phil smiled and then shot the autopilot.
"KELLY!" Jay shouted over the sound of the engines whining, "Run holo-disc creator program, target, Phil FeBuggure!"
Tara was too wrapped up with looking out of windows for the Ragnarok to hear Jay
** inside Phil's mind **
The Two Phil's faced each other for the last time. EP spoke first.
"You know, there is a chance we could survive.... .you and me, we could rule the galaxy, hell, the whole universe..."
"You know what, this brain not big enough for the both of us, hell it's not big enough for a coffee table, let alone TWO Phil's. Oh yes, one more thing..."
Phil rolled back his mental fist and Punched EP in the mental testicles.
"That's for trying to take over my life...."
He spun round and mentally kicked him in the face "That's for attacking my daughter..."
He pulled EP's face up close to him "And this, " he whispered, is for Tara..." He picked up Phil and carried him to the hind brain,
"You want to see what I'm really capable of do ya? Well FIND OUT......."
With That Phil chucked ep into the most darkest part of his mind.... A feeling of peace and calm flowed over him like never before. He must have died already because he could swear he could hear Tara calling him.
** T he Phoenix **
"PHIL!" Tara yelled over the comms, nearing hysterics "Please don't do it! You don't have to play space hero for me!"
"listen to her Phil... space hero's MY JOB!"
Tara whacked Jay around the head "Egotistical bastard" she hissed
The Phoenix shuddered quite violently. "What the hell was that....." asked Jay.
The cannons on the Phoenix started to move on their own. They started to aim at the Ragnarok...
no reply
"KELLY?!"
"KELLY, OVERRIDE WEAPON!"
The cannons fired, missing the ship, but hitting the bomb underneath. Alarms started to go off in the Phoenix.
"JAY STOP YOUR SMEGGING AI NOW!" Tara hammered on the voice unit
"Trouble, Tara, we gotta get outtas here!"
"NO!" I wont leave Phil again!
"If we don't go now the shock wave of that missile's gonna tear us apart!"
"NO!" Tara slumped into the co-pilot seat
Jay took the controls, firing the reverse thrusters into full power.
"sorry Tara... but.. I got a wife to think about..."
"Phil you there?!" she held back tears, trying to be bravura opened the comms for a final time
"You two might want to straps yourself in...."
"Tara almost jumped out her skin. The voice of Phil seemed to come from the AI unit?"
"Kuh........elly?..."
she opened the comms falsely thinking it was from the Ragnarok
"Phil, I know you are still there, but I don't know who's in control. but I'm gonna say it any way. Phil FeBuggure, I love you" she waited for a response but non came
Jay was hitting the console blindly, nothing was responding.
"problem"
Tara waved t aside, nothing had meaning any more.
The comms unit opened once more - "Why thank you sweet heart but I really don't give a damm..."
Tara looked at the face on the monitor, jet black eyes now with a streak of red looked back at her
"Phil. Evil Phil.. you.. you....you..." words failed her
The voice spoke again... "Of for gods sake. If you want something doing....." The seat belts and safety harnesses snapped around Jay and Tara.
The comms systems choose that moment to blow up. "Okay, hold on people, you gonn love this........"
"My Phil.... why, please don't go" she said to her self
Jay looked over at Tara, opened his mouth but chose not to speak, he looked back at the Ragnarok.
"Tara, look" Jay said. Tara looked around at the small speck that was the Ragnarok...
** on the Ragnarok **
EP finally tore himself away from the neural interface. It had taken him a while but Phil had the most evil subconscious to escape from.. The thing about the frogs scared him even now.
He tried to move the controls, they were stuck and almost in that stars coronoa. At least things cound't get much worse , could they?
He could hear a sound counting down..
He listened.
"Bomb will detonate in 5....4.....3...2..."
Oh bugger!
** On the Phoenix **
The ship suddenly slammed into full power, the bulkheads screaming as they were put under pressures they were never designed for. Struggling to look over his shoulder, Jay saw nothing, then a huge light filled the sky. He could see the shock wave approaching at speeds that would have made a bullet go "blimey, that's fast..." But still the Phoenix accelerated faster and faster.. The wave was almost on them.
Tara screamed "Jay. BD.....!"
The wave dissipated mere meters from the Phoenix. The sudden deceleration almost caused Tara's eyes to pop out her head, but they made it. Just.
Tara managed to get the harness off her and ran to the back window. She screamed in anguish at Jay
"Jay..how could you leave him!" Jay kept silent, his head bent low. She turned back to the window "He's gone, and I'm never going to see him again" She was beyond tears. She looked down at her hand and touched the ring on her finger "My Phil...." she couldn't get any more words out, the grief was too much, the vision of the sun exploding played over in her head, again and again "If only I......"
