#6 of The Star Lancers


The Star Lancer rested in the docking ring above Europa colony, engines cold and her small crew going about their duties until the lead members return. Aboard the near vacant bridge the remaining Star Lancer, Crystal, the pilot, kept herself busy. Left behind to keep vigil as she preferred to do so, while the others go off on their adventures to almost get themselves killed.

A large holo-screen glowed on one side of the bridge showing one broadcast from across the Jupiter sphere. A group of scantly dressed girls dancing to music in a frenzied exercise dance. Crystal huffed, dressed in a similar manner as she did her best to imitate the program. Being one of those recluse types, confining herself to the ship. Crystal did take efforts to maintain her fitness. Arms out, legs kicking she bounced on the bridge to the rhythms of the music and her instructors. "That's right girls!" The funny little man dancing with them called out. "Lift those legs, work the thighs. Feel the burn!"

Suddenly Crystal caught something out of the corner of her eye mid twist and stopped, peering out the view screen. "What the..." She said to herself as she stepped closer to the view screen like it was the window it pretended to be. She watched a large ship, almost on the other side of the docking ring slowly glide into dock. Her mouth slowly opened recognizing the distinct device of the gold sphinx on the hull of the Ravager. "Oh shit!" The sweaty pilot quickly trotted over to a computer on the side of the bridge and she hit a couple keys in sequence. "Uh captain? This is Crystal, I think we have a problem."

The Star Lancers

Episode 5: Diamond Dash

Down on the surface of the moon the Star Lancers had split up to accomplish different things. On the other side of the colony mining town, after winding through ever deteriorating roads, Rose and doctor Einstat proceeded to look for their objective. Rose held a small device which controlled a hovering dolly that carried a container of supplies the good doctor knew nothing about. She had heard of this Mother Gloria now and again, but what relation she had with the captain and her right hand, she did not know. From what they could tell beyond the almost permanent dusk was that it was the late afternoon and the second mining shift had ended. The streets were full of people, going home or leaving for the third mining shift, but people were kind enough to make way for Rose and her cargo container.

"Hey Rose." A woman in an open bakery they passed called out. "Heading over the Mother Gloria's? You seem a little early this month." Rose smiled at the interaction and waved. "Hey, yeah. We're here on business so we thought to make our drop off now." "Oh that's nice dear." The woman responded beating a lump with her fists. As they continued more people from the neighborhood acknowledged Rose and her container. Doctor Einstat took note of this, people in this area seemed to know the Star Lancers and it made her feel safer, this was her first time to Europa colony.

The girls and their cargo turned a corner and came upon a long and low brick wall with a wide gate in the center. This wall enveloped a cluster of buildings of different sized which in turn were all connected by a large courtyard. A glowing sign above the gate read. 'Mother Gloria's House for Wayward Youngsters.' and. 'Sponsored by the Four Moons Group.' Einstat nodded to herself now seeing the destination. The Four Moons Group, often considered a religious humanitarian order that spreads a message of personal discipline and self sacrifices to help others. The exact details behind their beliefs, Einstat did not know, only that the four moons their name references are the Galilean moons of Jupiter, and this group has no reach beyond the gas giant.

Rose and Einstat waited in the large courtyard, seeing a child here and there scooting about, they were very curious about the new arrivals. "So this is..." Einstat started and walked closer to the violet beauty. "...an orphanage?" Rose nodded, watching the doors to the building. "Orphans from the various conflicts or accidents across the sphere. Pirate raids gone bloody, Corpo merc actions, or just good old fashion shipping and mining accidents." Einstat shook her head. "That's terrible." Rose nodded in agreement. "That's life."

As the girls concluded their little chat, Rose spotted a figure walking toward them. A lioness with a proud gate, as scantly clad as any other woman in the Jupiter sphere. A black outfit that hugged her large breasts, a hole cut at the cleavage, the sides cut high that her naked hips bobbed about as she walked, only thin black strings, belonging to her thong could be seen. A black and white habit atop her head, her violet locks pouring from it framing her beautiful face. Her long beautiful legs covered with thigh high stockings and tipped with black heeled boots. If Einstat were to wager, this woman, this Mother Gloria, looked like a more mature Rose.

"Mommy!" Rose blurted out like a child and ran toward the woman who smiled in return and held out her welcoming arms. "Ah, I suppose that makes sense." Einstat mused to herself, watching the girls collide in an embrace, their breasts squishing together as they hugged. "Rose my dear." Gloria smiled at her with an unmistakable love. "You're early, but I'm not complaining. How is Koshka?" Rose rolled her eyes at the question. "Same as always, playing games with life. Right now she is over at Skeezer's to figure something out." Gloria gave a visible shutter. "That man is always trying to hire me for one of his little movies." Doctor Einstat walked up with a smile on her face. "You must be Mother Gloria." Gloria turned and took the doctor's hand in greeting. "April Einstat, everyone just calls me doc, or Einstat." Gloria smiled at the good doctor. "New to the Star Lancer?" Einstat nodded while Rose explained. "We took her on not long ago, I brought her so she could look at the kids." Gloria turned and pointed to one of the buildings. "The little brats are around, I will organize eve..."

She stopped seeing three of the orphans trying to snag a hot pie cooling on the window sill of the kitchen house. "Excuse me." Gloria nodded to the girls and drew a knife from under her black cloth robe. With frightening precision and professionalism the knife sailed through the air in a twirl and embedded itself, tip first into the window. The orphans shook by the sudden attack yelped. "She saw, cheese it!" As they ran for it, Mother Gloria called after them. "Don't let me catch you spoiling your apatite, that's your only warning, mother doesn't miss twice!" Gloria's voice had the same feminine growl as Rose when she gets agitated or angry. Einstat could only smile, more so out of fear then humor. "I guess we know where you get your temper from Rose." Rose smiled with raised brows as if bragging. "And don't you forget it."

Doctor Einstat spent a good hour doing her part of this trip, checking the orphans for any problems that may require medical attention. Minus her normal special check ups which were customary on the Star Lancer, this was a time of professionalism after all. She was surprised to see young ones ranging from children to older teens, all in apparent good health. She promised them the next time she would visit that she would bring candy for them and concluded her tests. Rose spent that time helping her mother unload the cargo container they brought with them. It contained basic supplies, food stuffs and simple medical items. Educational materials, cloths for both genders of different sizes and even some entertainment items, like video games and holo-books. Items 'acquired' or purchased by the Star Lancer captain and her crew.

Einstat made her way back to the kitchen house and joined Rose and her mother, they sat at a table with a pot of tea between them. "You have done a fantastic job with them." The doctor sat with the other two. "They are fit as fiddles, some even might be getting a little too fat, but nothing a little more exercise wont fix." Gloria smiled and nodded. "Good, good. Please have a cup doctor." Einstat pored herself some tea and leaned on the table. "How beyond Earth did this happen? I mean, a mother and daughter so...so different in profession?" Einstat was of course referring to the two women, one a stellar sell sword aboard a mercenary ship, the other a philanthropist with spiritual convictions. Gloria let loose a giggle and leaned in the doctor's direction.

"It wasn't always so. It may be hard to believe but I was a pirate once. I served under a brilliant and dashing man named Alexander Thorne, the Skipper of Skippers of Fleet Thorne." Rose frowned. "Nobody says Skipper anymore." "Sorry." Gloria leaned back. "I am a little out of the loop." Einstat paused for a second sipping her tea. "Thorne, as in-" Rose nodded. "Koshka's father." Gloria continued. "Rose and Koshka grew up together, I was right arm to my husband and we sailed with the Thornes. We loved Alexander, he truly believed we could accomplish great things around Jupiter that went beyond mere piracy. That man fought for freedom. Not just ours, and he was very selective about our targets. No one need suffer that didn't incur our wrath first." Einstat bridged her brow in a serious manner. "But..." The doctor probed for the story to turn to the last page, and Rose sighed. "Betrayal's a bitch." She shrugged. "Maybe the ideals were too lofty, or maybe people are just self serving assholes in the end." The three girls sat silently for a moment when suddenly.

"Star Lancers!" A powerful feminine voice echoed across the courtyard and through the window of the kitchen house. "We know you're here, show yourselves." Rose and Einstat stood at the strange intrusion. "Who the hell..." Gloria walked over to the window near the table, followed by the other girls. As they peered out, carefully to stay off to the sides in fear of being shot at, a practice accrued from a dangerous life. They saw a score or so armed men, among them was a woman with snow white long braided hair and fiery red eyes, that only Einstat among them recognized. Lyra Starr, right arm of Ramsi, captain of the Ravager had apparently tracked them down.

"Rose, oh my, look." Gloria pointed out that the armed party had with them, some of the kids that had seemed to have wondered into their clutches. One of the Ravager pirates cackled out with a high pitched laugh. "Star Lancers, come out and play!" Gloria shot a look to her daughter. "Who the hell are these people, what have you brought to my home?" Rose looked back with an air of disappointment. "Some assholes who can't take a lose and walk away." Gloria shook her head. "If the kids are hurt-" "Not while I live, that I can promise you." Rose looked back out the window hearing once again. "Star Lancers, come out and plaaaaaaaay!" She thought of her gun hanging to her side, but the odds were a maybe, even without the orphans in the way. The violet beauty took a deep breath and pushed away from the wall. The only way this seemed like it was going to work, is if she stalled for time and hoped Koshka would come.

After a quick chat with the others the three girls walked out from the kitchen house and out into the courtyard. Lyra's red eyes pierced into the three of them. "Nice of you to join us. Braxton's prize, hand it over." Rose raised her hands. "We don't have it, our captain does." Lyra's red eyes made a quick scan of the area, looking to the windows and even the roofs of the surrounding buildings. "And she is?" she said wary of an ambush. "How about." Rose lowered her hands. "You take us and let the kids go, my captain will be back sooner or later." Lyra narrowed her eyes then looked over to the couple of kids they happened to catch in the courtyard. A smile crept across her lips as she looked back to Rose. "Fine." She looked to her crew. "Disarm them and lock the kids up together in one of the buildings, move!" As Lyra's orders were being carried out she slowly walked up to Rose with a triumphant look on her face. "People can call me a bitch, but I'm not a fucking bitch. If your captain doesn't show within the next couple of hours however. Well I hope someone else will be by to free those kids, because you will be dead."

After all that was said and done, the Ravager pirates and their three new hostages found themselves back in the kitchen house. The three women were under guard while Lyra leaned against the wall next to the window, keeping a constant vigil over the courtyard. The pirates kept themselves busy during these tense moments of waiting, their imagination getting to them. Every creek, every smell coming from the old building was giving them the idea that there was a trap afoot. After some of them got rowdy Lyra had to turn and chastise them for their stupidity. "If this was trap, you would already be dead." She addressed their concerns. Rose watched this and thought to herself if their was anything she could do. She hated to admit it to herself but if she were Koshka, no doubt she would have already thought of a way to trip these pirates up.

"I'm tired of the waiting, lets just go find the Star Lancer captain." One of the pirates spoke up. "This is boring, lets kill em and be done with it." Lyra snapped a look at him with a fierce piercing gaze. "Then find something to alleviate your boredom or the one that dies is you." The pirate quickly shrank from his leader. Another pirate crept up behind Mother Gloria and suddenly cupped and squeezed her large breasts making her yelp from the grip. "Hehehehe." The pirate chuckled. "Let us have a go on them while we wait boss." Another pirate slowly lifted Einstat's short dress, exposing her ass cheeks, while the doctor slapped his hand. "Yeah boss, you did tell us to occupy ourselves." Rose watched all this feeling helpless, but possibly maybe this was the best way to stall for time. Lyra on her part looked over the three girls, surrounded by proverbial perverted wolves being groped, soft breasts being being squeezed and played with as feminine moans came out. Then she smiled. "Sure boys, whatever keeps you in line. Have fun while we wait."

Mother Gloria watched the hands grasping her large breasts curl their fingers into her cleavage hole and pull on the fabric. The sounds of ripping could be heard as Gloria yelped, watching helplessly her big tits bounced free. Rose watched her top being pulled open as the buttons snapped free, her tits squished together until her top was open and they bounce out. Einstat was bent over at the hips as a hand pulled her panties down her thighs, revealing her pussy. As the girls cried out being man handled by the pirates, their cloths being discarded, the pirates cheered and whistled at their prize.

Mother Gloria, naked for but her habit in heeled boots squat in front of a pirate, her legs wide open as her big tits jiggled. She moved her head back and forth sucking the big cock in her mouth, moaning a muffled moan of pleasure. She used her free hands to stroke two more cock on either side. Rose was in a similar position, naked but her thigh high healed boots. The violet beauty stroked a thick cock while sucking on another. The big cock slipped from her mouth and she replaced it with the other, moaning as she sucked it off. Einstat, naked except her heels was on her back on a table. Her legs spread as a pirate licked her pussy, pushing fingers into her while another thrust his big cock into her mouth making her suck him off.

Lyra watched this with interest, the moans of pleasure filled her ears as the pirates took their turns with the captured girls. Soft tits jiggled and bounced, grasped and squeezed, fingers running across hard nipples. Eager tongues licking soft flesh and clits. Fingers knuckle deep in pussies, thirsty mouths filled with big cocks. Polish wet lips sliding along thick shafts. The pirate leader watched a thick cock slowly push into the moist pussy of Mother Gloria who cried out with pleasure on all fours.

Gloria's big tits bounced under her as she moaned with pleasure, her ass jiggled as the big cock fucked her pussy with powerful thrusts. Rose cried out with pleasure as her tits bounced in front of her. She sat atop of pirate while moving her hips, her jiggling ass moved up and down as her wet pussy slid on the thick cock inside her. Doctor Einstat moaned with pleasure as her tits bounced, she held her legs spread wide as a thick cock firmly fucked her wet pussy on the table she lay on.

Lyra Starr licked her lips watching the hot fucking, then her attention was grabbed by one of the pirates waiting his turn with one of the girls, he watched stroking his hard cock. "You, come here!" The pirate stopped and pointed to himself. "Who me?" Lyra simply pulled on her armored corset and the pirate watched with a smile as her big tits bounced free. The Pirate rushed over, the fastest he had ever followed an order and Lyra ran a hand down his chest as she squatted before him. He couldn't believe what was happening as she seized his cock and pushed it into her mouth. The pirate groaned as Lyra started sucking him off, stroking his shaft. She pushed her white braids behind her ear as she started moving her head. The pirate looked down, aroused and fearful as he watched Lyra Starr suck his thick cock, moaning slightly, her big tits bouncing slightly under her.

Mother Gloria cried out in pleasure, she pressed her big tits against the floor while raising her hips, her ass bounced and jiggled hard. "Oh my god!, so-so fast, n-not so...aaaaahhhh!" The thick cock fucking her wet pussy moved with vigor as the pirate grunted slapping against her ass. Rose cried out with her mother as she pressed her tits against the pirate she was on, now sandwiched between two she moaned with pleasure as two thick cocks filled her wet pussy and ass. "Shit, oh shit, oh-oh fuck!" April Einstat screamed as her whole body bounced from the powerful and fast thrusts. Her legs were spread wide, her knees almost to her head as the big cock vigorously fucked her wet pussy making her tits bounced hard. "No, no, nnaaaahhh mmahaahh aaaahhh!" Heeled shoes bounced in the air over her.

Lyra Starr moaned with pleasure, deep hums of delight as she lay back on one of the tables. Her big tits bouncing, legs spread as the big cock filled her pussy. The stared at the pirate fucking her with her red eyes. "Fuck me faster!" The pirate straightened his back to attention. "Y-yes ma'am!" The pirate started fucking faster causing Lyra to cry out with pleasure, her big tits bounced faster with her as the thick cock filled her wet pussy with more vigor. "You better not-aaaaaahhhh- cum before me!- ooooohhh- you here me!?" The pirate developed beads of sweat as he watched his thick cock fucking the hot pussy of his commander. "Y-yes ma'am!" Suddenly a pirate walked up with a big cock bouncing in Lyra's face. "What are you-" He grabbed her by her head and guided her to take his cock into her mouth. "Hrrmmmm!"

The girls moaned with pleasure, squealed and cried out as the big cocks filled them one and after the other. Thick cocks filling wet pussies before filling them with hot cum that spilled down the thick shafts. Welcoming assholes fucked eager cocks, hot cum squirted from the tight confines. Thirst mouths sucking on the cocks given to them as they throbbed and filled mouths with hot cum. Mother Gloria pushed her big tits together as she opened her mouth, jets of cum squirted onto her big tits and into her mouth as she cried out. Rose cried out, extending her tongue as cum squirted into her mouth and across her face. Einstat raised her ass into the air as streams of cum squirted across her cheeks while the pirates groaned in delight from the release.

"MMMM MMM MMM MMM!" Lyra vigorously bounced between the two pirates that fucked her wet pussy and mouth, hands grabbing her big tits to squeeze with delight. Suddenly the pirate fucking her groaned and Lyra felt her insides filled with his hot cum. Lyra pulled the big cock from her mouth and cried out in pleasure as cum squirted from her pussy, the cock next to her face suddenly throbbed and started shooting across her her face.

The next few minutes were filled with heavy breathing and elated sighs of relief before Lyra shot up and pushed a pirate's face out of the way. "Well, I hope you girls enjoyed your last meal, because don't think the clock is still ticking." She then looked at the pirate of came on her face. "Make sure they're cleaned up and don't miss any spots." The pirate look shocked. "But I don't wanna touch..." Lyra's fire red eyes pierced into his soul making him take a step back. "Right, right, not pushing my luck."

After getting the warning from Crystal, Koshka and Celesti finished their business with Skeezer and ran through the winding streets of the mining town of Europa colony, lock box in hand, in a futile effort to warn the others at Mother Gloria's. Koshka's mind was running faster then her body, thinking of possibilities, problems and solutions. How could they get off moon safely, can they disengage from the docking ring while under fire? If there is a fight, how will she navigate it. Thinking all of these things and more while turning corners, she tried her best to stay focused on the objective, but the worst case scenarios kept creeping into her mind. What beyond Earth were the odds, the Ravager could find them?

As the duo ran from an alleyway onto a wider street, Koshka quickly looked around and found the long low wall that confined Mother Gloria's place. The captain could not see anything immediately wrong, which she knew from experience that that meant little. She looked to the gynoid with a quizzical glance, without words asking the machine woman to use her superior senses to reconnoiter the area. Celesti shook her head. "It's quiet, a detect no problems." Koshka got her breathing under control and shook her head. "It's quiet, that's the problem." The captain knew they should be hearing the kids from beyond the wall. A visit from the Star Lancer was a cause for fun and celebration for them. Koshka grew increasingly concerned for her best friend and crew and lead the way to the main gate that allowed entry to the courtyard. With a gloved hand on the gun hanging from her hip she slowly stepped forward.

Lucky for her, her spiked adrenaline and increased apprehension allowed her the split second chance to spot a tall figure in the doorway of the kitchen house across the courtyard. Out of sheer instinct with not a rational reason, the captain lurched back, pushing the gynoid with her back behind the wall. With that, gun shots rang out as rounds visibly struck the broken road where she was and Koshka reflexively drew her gun pressing her back to the wall. "Shit!" Celesti followed her captain's example, her outer leg opened revealing a weapon compartment, she drew it with her free hand. "They are already here." Suddenly, from beyond the wall.

"I did not order you to shoot you fuck nugget!" A powerful feminine voice cross the courtyard and suddenly with a shift in tone. "Nice of you to join us captain one eye. I hope you're smart enough to stop and make a deal." Koshka slowly peaked around the corner from the gate and saw Lyra, holding doctor Einstat by the arm with a gun to her head. The other Ravager Pirates had filed out of the kitchen house, guarding Rose and Gloria among them. "Oh, I remember you, you're Ramsi's bitch, right?" Lyra's eyes slowly narrowed as she drew breath. "You may be able to get under the excellency's skin, but your games wont work on me. Are you ready to talk, or do I put a bullet in this one's head and move to the next?"

Koshka exhaled, leaning back against the wall again, slightly tapping the back of her head against it in a private chastising for allowing herself to be put in such a predicament. Any other freelance crew knew the risks of joining a merc or pirate ship. This was different, Koshka was different, perhaps she inherited it from her father. The Star Lancers were not simply a crew, but the girls were like a family, and she rewarded their loyalty with her own. "Talk." She called out and Lyra started. "The deal is very simple, their lives for Braxton's objective. Don't fuck around with me, I know you have it with you. You played a very good game, but it's over, the twenty million is ours, we don't have to get deep into this."

Mother Gloria looked to her daughter with a look of surprise from the number yelled across the courtyard. "Twenty Million!" She hissed at Rose who in turn leaned forward, restrained by her guards. "Our captain will never make a deal with the likes of you lot. As we speak she is planing your end. You couldn't contain her on your own ship, what makes you think this would even work you moron!" Lyra snapped around pushing her gun harder against the good doctor's head making her hum in fear. "Perhaps then, I should just get you bitches out of the way then right now, since you're so threatening?" Just then.

"I'm coming out." Koshka's voice echoed across the yard, drawing everyone's attention to the gate. "What?!" Rose blurted out, feeling like a fool for what she said. Lyra watched Koshka and Celesti step into the yard, the gynoid holding the lock box. "Their lives for the box, as you said." The captain looked on the group with determination in her good eye. Lyra smiled and slowly nodded her head. "Put all of them over there!" The Ravager leader commanded and Koshka watched the hostages being taken to a third point of the courtyard, away but half way between the two commanding women. "The box." Lyra said in a curt manner. Koshka nodded to her robotic companion and Celesti dropped the lock box on it's side, using her foot to slide it half way to the Ravagers. Lyra Starr motioned with her gun. "Clear the gate, and we part ways." Koshka and Celesti did what they were told, while Lyra inched to the lock box, each keeping a keen eye on each other. "I don't suppose you're going to try to gun us down now?" Koshka smirked, eagerly tense to draw and fire. Lyra slowly picked up the lock box and gestured with her head to her men toward the gate. "Hrm...I'm a bitch, I'm not a fucking bitch."

Koshka watched the Ravagers beat a hasty retreat through the gate and turned to her crew. "Is everyone alright?" Einstat exhaled and fell to her knees. "Holy shit, that was close." Gloria stepped forward to question Koshka and Rose. "What the hell was that all about? What about this twenty million?" Rose shook her head. "It's a long story, I'll tell you about it later." She then turned to Koshka. "Please tell me you gave them an empty lock box and still have that diamond?" Gloria tilted her head. "What diamond!?" Koshka froze at Rose's question, she flexed her fingers examining her empty hands. Almost pretending to be dumb under the scrutiny of her best friend. "Um...hrm..." Rose's eyes widened as it soon hit her. "You gave them the diamond! What were you thinking you idiot!" Rose let out her feminine growl and Koshka responded with her own. "I was thinking about saving your life! But I guess I'M the asshole!"

While the two 'conversed' over what just happened, Celesti ran up after retrieving Rose and Einstat's gear, handing it to them. Arming up, Rose made for the gate. "We gotta catch them, I'm not letting that bitch get away with our prize." Koshka smiled at Mother Gloria as she turned to leave. "Hi Gloria! Sorry I couldn't stay for your lovely tea, it was nice to see you again." Gloria watched the Star Lancers rally and prepare to give chase and she was left bewildered. "What the hell is going on!? Pirates come in and fuck me, take me hostage over a diamond everyone keeps talking about and locks by kids in the...Oh my god, the kids!" Mother Gloria ran for one of the buildings in the back of the compound.

Lyra lead her team of armed men down the streets of Europa colony, the people eyeing them as they walked, with looks of distrust, even hostility. The pirate leader was not shy to glare back, as if daring anyone to give her the excuse to draw steel and gun on the lot of them. Not far behind them, masked among the people, the Star Lancers ran to catch them. "There they are!" Rose called out. "Get ready to move fast and hard, stay on your toes girls!" Koshka called back. "Get the diamond!" Koshka stopped and drew her gun. The gold eye patch covering her left eye opened revealing a cybernetic lens, her gun tracking her selected target. The captain pulled the trigger and a gunshot rang out drawing everyone's attention.

Lyra turned at the same time the bullet struck the handle of the lock box she held with such precision it scared her. The handle broke and the box fell, hitting the ground and popped open letting it's contents fly out and hit the road. The other pirates around her ducked, lunged and dodged, thinking that bullet was meant for them. One such pirate ran into a poor girl, a waitress to an open air burger shop. She screamed from the violent shove and both her and the pirate hit a large man sitting at the table who lost his meal. The large man, a miner turned with an angry air about him. "Hey! Watch what you're doing you idiot!" The pirate straightened and flex in the manliest way he thought. "Mind your own business dirt digger!" The minor stood, now clearly a whole foot taller then the pirate, he flexed in return, the seams of his shirt ripping. "Mind my fist, you parasite!" The large miner grabbed the pirate by his head with his large rough mitt and launched his fist right into his face with a loud crack.

This of course could not stand and others joined in to defend the honor of the Ravager and the miners of Europa alike as a brawl broke out in the street. "Stop you morons! Where is that rock? Where did it go?" Lyra cried out over the din trying to look through the shuffling bodies. Her red eyes spotted the glittering object on the ground, it twinkled at her as if to grab her attention. "There you are." She whispered to herself. "Get the diamond! Don't bother with this rabble!" Lyra moved, pushing her way to the diamond and reached for it. Suddenly.

"Coming through!" Koshka ran up and with a swift kick launching the diamond into the air. Lyra's eyes shot open and watched the Star Lancer captain and her minions run through the fighting crowd like a charging football team. "Rose, go for it!" The violet beauty leapt into the air drawing her whip, careful not to turn on the energy and with a snap and a crack, the whip expertly snatched the diamond from the air. Rose gave her weapon a tug to bring the diamond to her. "I got it, I got it!" Lyra Starr growled at her misfortune and grabbed a pair of pirates by their collars. "Stop fucking around and GET THE STAR LANCERS!"

With that angry command, what Ravagers not caught up in the fight with the miners followed their leader in a running fight with the Star Lancers, who got a short lead on their adversities. One daring pirate leapt through the air and managed to wrap his arms around Rose's legs before hitting the ground with a painful grunt. Rose yelped falling forward, her victorious catch short lived as the diamond slipped from her fingers. The good doctor's eyes twinkled at the flying diamond as she ran by and snatched it from the air. "HA HA!" Raising it over her head she looked back with a smile seeing three Ravagers running after her. April let out a high pitched scream and ran like she never ran before.

Koshka and Celesti were among the fighting and running pack of belligerents, her large metal cupped breasts heaved as she moved and she locked eyes with a pirate running beside her. The captain smirked at him and threw an elbow, landing a blow to his nose sending him back. Lyra caught up with her sending a punch, Koshka took the hit with cry. "Bitch!" The captain stumbled and landed against a motorbike, the bi-wheeled vehicle fell over and hit others, causing a chain reaction of falling bikes. "What the hell is going on out here?!" A man in leathers walked out seeing the fighting and running in the street then directed his attention to the collapsed line of bikes and the one eyed woman rubbing her head looking back at him. "What the fuck, our bikes!" The man squealed out. Koshka chuckled innocently at the leather clad man and his party of bikers that joined him.

Back at the head of the race a pirate closed in on doctor Einstat with grasping fingers while the faster gynoid ran past them both. April called out to her. "Take it, take it, take it!" quickly tossing the diamond into the catching grasp of Celesti. The pirate chasing the doctor yelled out and reached for the feminine robot when a sudden crack in the air echoed and he felt something wrap around his neck. Rose pulled on her whip and brought the pirate down "Excuse me!" She called out as she jumped over him to join the others in the lead.

The running fight raised hell in the Europa mining colony, drawing people to their doors and windows to see what beyond Earth was going on in this other wise sleepy and hard working town. A loud ruckus rolling down the town, two factions racing to the space elevators while fighting off the town at the same time. Celesti pulled ahead of the pack, relying on her mechanical perfection when April called out. "Their gaining on us!" Rose shot her gaze ahead to yell at the gynoid. "Celesti, turn right at-" She watched with amazement as Celesti made a hard right, right into and through a plaster wall with a loud boom. "-the next street..."

A man covering his lover raised his head and looked at the large hole in the wall next to their bed, they didn't see what it was that barreled in and disturbed their tender time. "What the hell was that!?" Suddenly a violet beauty leapt through the hole and bounced of their bed as she stopped and looked at them. "Oh, sorry about the interruption." Turning on her heels. "Celesti wait up!" She ran out of the bedroom. "What the fuck is going on!?" A second woman quickly poked her head in seeing them and yelped. "Eeep, sorry!" She looked behind her and screamed running away, soon after a group of angry looking men ran by the hole to give chase.

Celesti ran through the small home determined to make it back to the Star Lancer with the prize. She threw her weight into her shoulder to smash through the front door. As the door came down and hit the street on the other side her arms were grabbed, for only a split second she saw the fiery eyes of Lyra Starr. The white braid haired woman using the gynoid's momentum against her and flipped her with an impressive display of martial arts. Seizing the diamond and sending Celesti sailing through the air and landing on her perfectly polished backside with a thud. "I have it! I have the diamond, Ravagers to me!" She called out as she started running for the orbital elevators.

As Lyra ran the intrusive sound of a struggling engine filled her ears, she looked back hoping to avoid what possibly could be coming down the road. Suddenly a gloved hand snatched the diamond from her grasp as Koshka on a chugging little motor bike zoomed passed her. The one eyed captain shot her a toothy smile and a pointed tongue in a childish taunt as she drove away. "Why that bi-" She looked back seeing more bikers, each one looking angrier then the last, seemingly chasing the wayward Koshka. Each brandishing a weapon of their choosing, metal pipes, hooked bars and twirling chains.

The bikers swerved and yelled at the white braided and angry looking pirate in the middle of the street, kicking up dust from the loud machines. Rose soon burst out onto the street and quickly grasped the situation, she spotted one of the slower bikes and quickly jumped onto the bitch seat behind the rider who looked back in astonishment. "What the fuck! Get off you crazy-" He suddenly felt a firm grip on his crotch. "Keep driving, if you knock me off, I'm taking them with me." She yelled in his ear as the angry biker gang continued on, taking her with them. Lyra quickly found a straggler of her own and with a powerful right hook sent the bewildered lad to the road. The pirate cursed and raged as she hopped onto the bike to continue the pursuit. Celesti jumped up and took off after everyone yelling. "Wait for me!"

Doctor Einstat turned a sharp corner and huffed hard with sweat on her brow as she pressed her back to the wall of a building. A couple of angry pirates ran passed the smaller road she ducked into. "Aaaww, how did I get myself into this? I had to be more adventurous. Let me join the away teams I said." She pushed off from the wall and looked around. "I gotta get to the port." She stepped back out onto the street looking down one direction when she suddenly bumped, face first, into the chest of a large man. Looking up she said a large miner with black eye. "Hey, you're with the pirates, aren't ya!?" Einstat quickly pointed beyond his shoulder. "Oh my god, what is that!" The miner and his friends quickly looked, thinking they were going to be jumped. "Yeeeeee!" April squeaked out as she ran for it.

Ahead of the chaos, at the large round central plaza of town, that surrounded the orbital elevator port, people stopped and looked to the distance. A fuss arose with confusion as a great deal of people heard a ruckus heading toward them. Loud booms and the occasional rising burst of debris seemed to indicated something destructive was heading their way. Some gazing down the intersecting roads could see Koshka Thorne, buzzing toward them with a larger body of bikers behind her. Koshka's little motor bike wobbled to and fro indicating the rider's lack of experience with such a vehicle.

A man pulling a dolly filled with vegetables yelled seeing the out of control bike heading right for him. He tried to pull his business out of the way only for Koshka to wobble right into him sending veggies into the air. Koshka flew off the bike as it crashed and landed on the ground on the other side among rolling lettuce and cabbage. The other bikers were soon to follow, swerving, screeching and revving into the central plaza with people diving into shops for cover, confused and panicked at what could possibly disturb their peaceful town.

"No, no, no, where is..." Koshka felt around her body realizing that the diamond was gone, she must have lost it in the crash. Her one good eye quickly spotted a twinkle on the ground next to an apple and she gasped as her heart skipped a beat. As the fight between the Ravagers, the Star Lancers and the local tuffs of Europa colony spilled into the plaza, Koshka crawled on hands and knees to the diamond to secure the prize. Just as she reached for the diamond a firm foot on the back of her hand stopped her from grabbing it. Koshka looked up seeing the angry red eyes of Lyra Starr, the Star Lancer captain reflexively smiled and chuckled at the woman on her stolen bike.

Rose and her biker zipped by as the violet beauty unleashed her whip with her other hand firmly still grasping the driver's crotch, firmly under her control. Lyra watched the whip seize the ankle of the foot pinning Koshka's hand and as the biker drove on it yanked her from her own vehicle and dragged her away much to Koshka's bemusement. Lyra cried out. "You'll pay for this bitch!" Being dragged across the plaza, even tripping pirates and Europans alike.

Celesti finally caught up with her captain and owner with gun drawn. "Good to see you're still in one piece my robotic chum." Koshka picked up the diamond. "We need to get back to the Star Lancer, signal to the others if you see them." Celesti followed Koshka running for the elevators. "Yes captain."

On a roof top over looking the plaza, Mother Gloria and a couple orphans managed to catch up to this grand mess race. A grinning child with missing teeth and an army helmet aimed a missile launcher, the heavy end of the launcher was balanced on the back of a small girl on all fours. "Attack my orphanage will you!" Mother Gloria cried out as the missile let loose across the sky with the children cheering, the missile struck the ground with a bursting explosion sending bikers sailing off of their bikes. "Get off our colony!" Gloria barked out hoisting her own missile launcher onto her shoulder and launching a round into a group of pirates sending them sailing through the air.

Rose and her ride skid to a stop, sliding to one side letting the trailing Lyra slide into a bar, under it's main table and into shelves, shattering alcohol bottles. "Wow, this has gotten out of hand, wouldn't you say?" She leaned against her biker companion who nodded in agreement. "You're telling me." Bursts and explosions popped off in the plaza among the fighting. Just then she saw doctor Einstat ran by, huffing and sweaty, flustered and panicked, throwing her arms in a nonathletic manner. "Fuck this, * wheeze* fuck this, *wheeze* fuck this!" Rose smiled and kissed the biker on the cheek. "It's been fun, but I gotta go. Thanks for the ride!" The violet beauty leapt from the back of the bike and ran for the orbital elevators while the biker looked back feeling the relief of a released crotch. "At least tell me your name!" He shouted after her.

Lyra slowly rose from behind the bar, wet with alcohol and an agitated twitch in her eye. "Star Lancers." She growled to herself. She looked over seeing her targets running into the orbital elevator port. Before she could call to her men however. "I hope you're going to be paying for all of this!" The owner of the establishment she had flown into walked up to her with an accusing glare in his eyes. Lyra's only response was to grab a bottle off the bar table and smash him in the head with it without looking before leaping back over the bar to continue her mission.

Koshka, Rose, Celesti and Einstat finally rejoined with each other and ran for the orbital elevators. "Captain *Gasp* I don't wanna *Gasp* be on anymore *Gasp * away parties." The good doctor huffed out as they ran. Koshka looked back with a smile. "You've been doing great doctor, just a little cardio to work on, spaceship life can make people soft." As the girls ran under and beyond the great skeleton that decorated the entrance to the port a loud and angry voice echoed into their ears prompting them to turn on their heels.

"STAR LANCERS!" A ragged group of pirates with their wet leader stood before them. Glaring and huffing with cuts, scuffs and bruises. "Hand over the diamond now one eye, and I promise I will try not to kill anyone." A smile crept across Koshka's lips as her good eye examined her surroundings. The captain tossed the diamond over her shoulder causing Rose to yelp and catch it from the air. "My my." Koshka started. "Your generosity knows no bounds, does it?" She then eyed Celesti. "Aim up for the wires." She said in low tones.

Only the two Star Lancers could make such a shot, Koshka with her cybernetic eye and Celesti with her robotic reflexes and engineered precision. Both girls raised their guns and fired several rounds, hitting the wire restraints keeping the massive skeleton up on display. The Ravagers drew their guns but stopped to see what their adversities were shooting at. As the brackets bent and the steel wires frayed the massive skeleton lurched forward. A couple more well placed shots snapped but two of the wires throwing the whole thing off balance. Lyra watched in horror as the former ancient beast started to swing down, for the first time in her life since a child she felt helpless and fearful. She felt like she was nothing more then a tiny fish, looking into the great maw of the ultimate predatory animal. The Ravagers screamed and scattered as the head of the great skeleton struck the ground with a powerful boom, it's mouth slack and open.

The dust filled the air and it took a moment for Lyra to register that she was in fact still alive. Her eyes were squeezed shut her body shivering with fear and she was holding something tightly. "I-I think we're still alive." She heard the voice right next to her ear. Her eyes shot open and she looked, seeing that she was on the ground, in the lap, grasping one of her pirates, who had wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. With a quick look around she saw that her and this pirate were inside the great mouth of the skeleton, it had nose dived into the ground with it's tooth filled mouth wide open.

Lyra looked up at the pirate who smiled at her. "It's OK boss, you're safe with me." "Unhand me you..."The pirate leader quickly removed herself from his embrace and fell backward onto her back with a yelp. Stumbling from the pried maw of the great skeleton she looked to see her men scattered, she shot a glance over to one of the elevators seeing the Star Lancers boarding to go up. Koshka looked back and shot her a smile, shouting across the port. "Don't forget to tell your captain you fucked up again!" Koshka gave a two finger salute as the elevator doors closed.

Lyra Starr's face went from bewilderment to anger, then anger to sadness. The fearsome woman dropped to her knees, her large breasts giving a jiggle as her lip quivered, her red eyes wet with fury. "Star Lancer-r-r-r-r-ssss" She slumped her shoulders in defeat choking out the words. One of her pirates knelled down beside her and shook his head. "Wow, that captain sure is infuriating, kinda gets under your skin." Lyra slapped him with tear filled eyes. "You shut up! Just,...shut up!"
