**Action** Making an Escape route part 2

**Action** "Making an Escape route part 2"
**Flight Deck**
Dean, Phil, Dante, Efof, Amber, Emma, Canazza, Jay, Kara
With the explosives signed for, they were brought down to the flight
deck. Dante started loading them onto the nearest blue midget, Efof
and Canazza who had volunteered helped.
Dean loaded various missiles onto the Raven, nothing they had was
powerful enough to dent the closed spacegate gate on its own, but
combined with explosives attached to the gate would do the trick.
Seymour walked onto the Flight Deck and wobbled as the ship was shot
again by the Aerons outside. He approached the crouched Blue Midget
they were packing with boxes of explosives.
"You cant put all those explosives on one ship!" He said in his
annoying posh drone. "There are hundreds of Aerons outside, one hit
and you'll be an impressive fireworks display!"
"I thought you were taking care of things in the Drive Room?" Jay
asked.
"Well, erm… Alota turned up and she's…taking care of it now…"
"Ahh, you mean she threw you out because she's the Captain and
you're not really supposed to be in charge!"
"Nonsense!" Said Seymour defensively. "I merely stepped aside and
thought I would come and help out the commoners who do the real
work!"
"Riiight."
Just to demonstrate how serious the Aerons were, they opened the
hanger door and started up the tiny Aeron shuttle Kara had stolen to
escape, then set it to fly on autopilot straight outside. Everyone
watched as it flew out and instantly was set upon and blown up by
two eager Aeron fighters.
The fighters then turned on the open hanger door and the corwdo of
people stood there.
"Shut the door quick!!!" shouted Jay. Dean ran in front of his Raven
to selflessly sacrifice himself for it.
The hanger shut just as the Aerons fired. Most of the blast caught
the closing door, but Seymour was hit by a deridgidizer ray.
He flopped to the floor. "Oh bugger not again!" he moaned. Emma
pointed and laughed.
Everyone started unloading the explosive charges back out of the
shuttle.
"What else can we do then?" Asked Efof.
"You'll all have to fly out with individual jetpacks, carrying a
bomb each to the gate."
"Go out on our own?!!" said Efof. "But…but... we might all die."
"Yes that's true sorry." Said Seymour. "I would join you, but being
an important role model and all that…"
"Oh okay, as long as we're clear on that." Efof said and started
putting on a jet pack.
**Outside the Blue Dwarf**
The Hanger doors opened and several figures in jet packs flew out
holding a bag full of magnetic explosive device each.
Dante controlled his jetpack slowly, his thrust had to compensate
for his massive muscular form. He collided with an Aeron fighter
before he figured out the controls properly. He gave the silverfish
spaceship a good punch in the side and it spiralled downwards out of
control.
Kara flew hers around close to the Aerons just to taunt them, then
fly out of range, then circle around them, making them all shoot
each other.
Efof controlled his like an expert, he whizzed around the sky
dodging Aerons ships, they fired missiles and deridgidizer rays at
him but he expertly or insanely loop-da-looped around them like a
pissed wasp.
Canazza set off a few minutes later than the rest, and when he
turned his jet pack on, almost torched the tree, who had folowed him
from the medibay.
Emma gracefully controlled her jet pack towards the spacegate and
others followed. Flying past the Blue Dwarfs front ramscoops, more
Aerons turned their attention away from the Dwarf and towards the
flying humans, Ffionian and…Dante. Realising their potshots were
hopeless, Aeron troops flew up from the ground on their natural
wings towards the jetpackers.
One grabbed Dante from behind and they fought in mid air, tumbling
out of control. Until Dante gave the man a good smack and he flew
backwards, impaling himself on one of the Dwarfs ramscoops.
Emma reached the gate first and strapped her first explosive to the
centre. She ducked as a stray Aeron missile exploded above her. She
was about to plant another charge when an Aeron troop flew up behind
her and hit her with a deridgidizer ray. Before Dante could punch
the mans lights out, Efof flew in from above and accidentally sret
the man on fire from the flames of his jetpack.
"Oops, sorry!" he called back after the man fell.
Emma felt her self going all floppy, the two charges she held in her
hands started to slip out of her numbing fingers. Efof, Kara,
Canazza and Dante began planting their charges.
Emmas floppy hands let go of the charges and they began to slowly
drift down under the influence of gravity. Loosing control of her
rubbery self, she leant on her jetpack control stick and zoomed off
in a completely random direction and crashed through the window of
an office block and hovered around out of control setting fire to
various office furniture.
"Wheres Emma gone?" Said Efof. Then noticed her charges dropping to
the ground. He spun and dived to catch them, saying sorry again to
the man he had set on fire –who was still tumbling down past
buildings.
**Flight Deck**
"Whats taking so long?" Asked Dean, sat in his Raven ready to go.
"They must have planted them by now, just launch." Said Seymour,
flopped over the back of a chair like a wet towel.
"Okay…" Said Dean, he powered up, the Ravens fan engines whirred and
lifted him off the ground. He spun it around and out of the Hanger,
evading the Aerons laying in wait and spiralled upwards for some
height. An Aeron troop landed on his roof, so he tried to shake him
off. The Aeron tumbled into the Ravens left fan engine and… lets
just say made a bit of a mess.
Dean lined up for the bombing run, he started from the back end of
the Dwarf and accelerated along the Dwarfs full 5 mile length body.
He flicked open the missile launch on his joystick and saw the
target ahead, the massive closed SpaceGate. He trusted that all the
charges were placed already and that everyone had cleared out of the
way.
**At the SpaceGate**
Dante had hovered off to find Emma. She had jetted through another
building and knocked over a floating hot-dog stand. He grabbed her
floppy form and thrusted back to the Dwarf's landing bay along with
Kara and Canazza.
Efof floated back up to the gate and planted the other two of Emmas
charges next to his own. He turned around and clapped his hands
together to congratulate himself on a job well done. Then he saw the
Raven coming closer.
**In the Raven**
Another Aeron soldier jumped on the Raven, this time on the
windscreen blocking Deans view. He was getting too close to stop
now. He had to fire. He pressed the button…
**At the SpaceGate**
Efof watched two missiles launch from the Raven. He was too close.
He pushed himself off from the gate with his feet and jetted away.
The missiles hit the gate behind them and exploded, their explosion
quadrupled by the charges they had just layed. The explosion threw
Efof spiralling away at high speed, luckily towards the Dwarf.
"Ahhhh, weeeeee!" He yelled as he flew at breakneck speed towards
the open landing bay.
Then a Aeron flew into his path. Then thought better of it as he saw
the speed Efof was flying at.
The Dwarf moved slowly closer towards the SpaceGate as the clouds of
explosion cleared. Finally the smoke cleared and it could be seen
that the gate had been blown open, the ring around it still
remained, with some tattered pieces of metal from the iris still
attached. Inside, the gate swirled different colours of a
dimensional wormhole, and the Blue Dwarf headed into it.
Back into their own galaxy or dimension, it wasn't clear where the
Aeron planet actually was.
But at least they knew they were going somewhere nearer home.
