[Milky Way Galaxy; Outer Colonies, Sharp Tail Clan, Stolen Frigate, The Marauder, (Shock Jumping to Trade Station Orion)Year 3,588 A.D, June 20thth, 6:31 PM]

"Leave only misery in your paths, for today we are relieving VALOR of their possessions!" Var'Setta cackled as she reloaded her illegally modified rifle.

The female raptor-like creature raised her rifle straight into the air as her fellow pirates cheered in bloodlust from behind her in the large airlock. Her clan mates raised their weapons in the air as well; most of them carried the cheap and easily mass produced assault weapons that they had joined her clan with while a few of Var'Setta's more trusted veterans had a modified rifle like her as they could afford it because of their larger shares after a successful raid.

The pirate queen turned back to her clan mates who were itching for their next fortune, they all wore various mismatched armour pieces that all depended on how many security forces that the individual has killed to loot it for themselves or if they had enough currency to buy a full suit. Although most of Var'Setta's pirates had gear that didn't match they all had the Sharp Tail clan symbol crudely carved into their left shoulder guards, some of her more loyal pirates had scarred their foreheads of the symbol by taking a knife to their skin.

"We are coming out of the worm hole now!" Var'Setta's navigator said over the crude speakers.

The badly painted and awfully repaired Frigate exited the unstable worm hole it had created to get across the galaxy so fast. The ship shook immensely when it reached its destination; unstable blue energy crackled around the hull that tore off any loose armour plating on the already bare and bones star ship. In a matter of moments the pirate frigate closed in on their target; a defenceless space station that was an easy target for Var'Setta and her pirate clan.

"We will be within firing distance in thirty seconds." The navigator said after their ship was cleared of the now collapsing worm hole. "Are you sure VALOR troops won't interfere?"

Var'Setta laughed at the question of her navigator who took command in her ship's bridge.

"Not when the government knows that the Crimson Separatist Alliance is truly in control of this region. Which is 'why' I have selected this trade station; VALOR won't come to its defence because of its location in their border worlds." Var'Setta answered slightly annoyed.

"I won't question your judgment again, Var'Setta." The navigator answered shamefully.

In horror of the space station's occupants the pirate vessel latched onto the station's left most side with huge metal clamps that allowed Var'Setta's flag ship to dig deep into its prey that tore through its hull and buckled its armour plating. The trade station's volunteer security team quickly rushed towards the damaged section of the commercial district knowing the marauding pirates would enter through the weakened ramparts. Each member of the culturally diverse police force armed their second hand weaponry that their government had given to them as their patrols were becoming too thin to properly protect the trading outpost.

The ill equipped security force looked around as they heard the groaning of the station's hull as they had no specific direction to look toward where the pirates would burst through first. The buckling of the station's armour ended in a loud explosion when Var'Setta's clan mates dropped through a hole they had created on the ceiling allowing for the pirates to jump down into the station's police force.

The marauding pirates quickly become engaged with the inexperienced defence teams in a savage close combat brawl. The volunteer police force were no matched for the experienced raptor-like buccaneers whose barbaric weaponry and claws that nature had given them easily shredded through the security guards body armour allowing for the invaders to hack through the species diverse police force, painting their already mismatched armour in different colors of blood depending on what species they had just cut down.

Var'Setta casually walked through the carnage, watching her clan mates deal with the sorry excuse that was the station's security force, spent ammunition and stray rounds flickered against her high grade armour as she continued to walk past the slug fest unharmed.

One of the more brave security volunteers saw Var'Setta strolled through the battle field that was the commercial district of the trade stations where the citizens used to conduct business. The poorly equipped security officer charged the pirate queen in a desperate last attempt to stop her onslaught but without pause Var'Setta drew her expensive side arm from her left thigh where she always had kept it and fired a round into the human's throat causing the young volunteer to clutch at his fatal wound and drop to his knees before Var'Setta pushed the human to a ground with a light push on his helmet.

The pirate queen continued to walk leisurely up to a communication panel on a wall that would allow her to send her annoyed voice through the entire space station. She pressed the large red button on the panel with her middle talon on her left claw allowing for loud static to buzz through the trade station that rung in the ears of all the families that cowered in the more "safe" districts.

"I am Var'Setta Sharp Tail and this trade station is now my property. If any escape pods leave this station my flag ship will shoot down any who attempt. I suggest anyone aboard this station report to the commercial district so we can take your valuables in an orderly fashion." Var'Setta ordered into the station's communication system.

One of Var'Setta's veterans walked up to her, the orange stripped raptor creature was adorned in advanced body armour that was also complete with many upgrades and illegal modifications from the criminal underworld their clan normally bartered with for supplies.

"You deny us again the thrill of the hunt? Let your troops experience what it truly means to be a pirate!" The veteran clan mate said defiantly.

Var'Setta took her claw off the communication button and turned her head sharply, a large scowl was on her face. The red color scaled pirate queen growled as she knew the station must have heard her officer's outburst.

"We do not have time for a cat and mouse chase, captain." Var'Setta sharply answered.

"But we need the adrenaline, these...security teams were nothing!" the veteran argued.

Var'Setta turned her body and walked up to the heavily armoured pirate who shifted uncomfortably in his dark green color gear. The pirate queen of the Sharp Tail clan grabbed the veteran's maw and jerked head causing the entire officer to be pulled forward so his face was almost touching his infamous leader.

"Do you suggest having my soldiers scurry like rats in this backwater space station?" Var'Setta asked hypothetically as she bared her fearsome sharp teeth, "We are thieves, not cold blooded murderers. Killing defenceless civilians does not improve or hone our combat skills in any meaningful way, besides if we kill everyone we come across to loot then VALOR would come looking for us that much more and I'm not sure if you are aware, captain, but "The Marauder' cannot go against one of their battle cruisers."

Var'Setta released her tight grip from under the veteran's jaws who backed away from the pirate queen slowly out of fear.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." The officer said as he bowed his head in shame.

"Now make sure the station inhabitants get here, all of them...safely. Fail me captain and I will castrate you personally." Var'Setta threatened as she showed her right claw's sharp talons.

Var'Setta watched her second-in-command scamper off like a scared child and walked back through her boarding team who were all scavenging the dead of both their kin and the trade station's security forces.

[Milky Way Galaxy; Outer Colonies, Sharp Tail Clan, Stolen Frigate, the Marauder, (Docked with Trade Station Orion) Year 3,588 A.D, June 20thth, 8:43 PM]

Var'Setta sat with her head resting on her short arm as her elbow was supported on her captain's chair in her ship's bridge. She gave a tired sigh and out stretched her free hand to accept the report one of her deck hands had just given her about the state of the supplies they had pilfered along with how many of their kin had been lost today. The tired and stressed out pirate queen waved for the scrawny clan mate to go back to his duties on maintaining her ship when she now sat up straight with the digital report in her claw.

She placed her three-talon finger over her forehead when she saw the newest adult male of her clan was listed as deceased but she saw his death was not in vain as the report also listed that they had gained enough food to feed both her warriors and the hungry hatchlings that her ship was centered around protecting for the next few months along with several more fuel cells that would last just as long.

"Unknown enemy ship shock jumping!" one of the ship pilots announced to everyone in Var'Setta's bridge.

Var'Setta shot straight up in her command chair and leaped from her sitting place when her tiredness was completely erased by pure adrenaline as her deepest fear of a VALOR cruiser ambushing her clan's ship and home may be coming true.

"Is it giving a VALOR signal code?!" Var'Setta asked quickly knowing that was the most important of information.

The panicking pilots and bridge staff worked in overtime as their talons went as fast as they could to bring their veteran captain the information she needed.

"WELL!?" Var'Setta demanded as she saw from her bridge the end wormhole that was being created for the star ship to enter through.

"I am not detecting any VALOR transponders!" another one of the pilots yelled as her attention was focused on the computer screen in front of her.

"That's impossible!" One of the pilots spoke out, "No ship that size can be freelance...only VALO-"The pilot yelled back when the ship that was coming to their location appeared.

The worm hole that was created near the space station crackled with energy as the enormous cruiser passed through it. Both the space station and the pirate frigate rocked in vibration shaking both violently when the star cruiser completely dwarfed both of them, its looming shadow darkening the two completely in a black overcast. Both pirate and the space station citizens looked in awe at the massive war ship that slowed to a halt as it finally came to a complete stop.

Var'Setta walked closer to the edge of her bridge to try and get the cruiser in full view of her sights but to no luck, as her bridge window was much to small to see the ship clearly.

"Well, who does it belong too?" Var'Setta asked with a heightened interest as if it had been VALOR she would have a team of power armour-wearing marines knocking her door down this second while barking out how many violations she had broken.

"Well I don't remember VALOR ever painting their cruisers to black and red." One of Var'Setta's pilots answered.

Var'Setta took a careful look at the silent star cruiser and saw the typical blue and white paint job VALOR loved to put on all their products was now replaced by a very clean and neat black and red color scheme that was layered directly on top of its predecessor. Also what caught the raptor's attention was that the word "VALOR" that was normally written across the largest armour plating on the sides of the ship was completely erased leaving the powerful warship nameless.

"Captain...they want to open a communication channel." The head pilot spoke with fear in his voice.

"Let it through." Var'Setta answered while keeping her self solemn.

The pirate queen watched her clan mates take the necessary security precautions before opening a communication channel with an unknown vessel. She slowly went back to her command chair and took her spot as captain of the "Marauder" waiting anxiously too see who owned the large war ship.

"Don't tell me you are still using that old rust bucket..." the voice from the communications channel said over the bridge speakers

Var'Setta let out a small chuckle knowing the voice was all too familiar to her; she pressed all of her talons down on the button that would allow the pirate queen to answer her old friend.

"And I'm supposed to believe you are captain of the ship that so conveniently arrived just now?" Var'Setta smiled for once in a long time

"_Of course! We have a lot of catching up to do Var..." _

[Milky Way Galaxy; Outer Colonies, Blood Scale Clan, Crimson Separatist Alliance, Destroyer Cruiser, Redemption (Year 3,588 A.D, June 20thth, 8:50 PM]

Var'Setta was escorted through the well lavished hall ways of the powerful warship by two members of the Blood Scale Clan who both wore the very exclusive power armour that was only used by the elite VALOR marines, until now.

The two power armour wearing body guard quickly walked ahead of the pirate queen and pushed the large exquisite door inwards that led to where the captain and his officers would eat their meals. Var'Setta slowly made her way into the large dining hall where huge tapestries hung from the walls depicting the Blood Scale Clan family symbols along with the captain himself who had paintings of his scaled face covering the walls to inflate his already huge ego.

The doors to the large dining halls closed shut with a loud slam that echoed through the tall room leaving Var'Setta to walk along the long dining table to meet the captain himself who sat at the very end with his claws folded together as he rested his elbows on the table, the largest of grins was on his maw.

"A destroyer cruiser, power armours, if I wasn't looking directly at it I wouldn't believe it..." Var'Setta said in awe.

"Well we haven't talked in the past few months, things change." The very well dressed captain said as he got up from his chair and walked over to his old friend.

Var'Setta laughed as she couldn't believe how well he had been doing when her clan was always on the verge of starvation.

"Tan'Gar...what is all this?" the Sharp Tail leader asked.

"Well, this is what I wanted to talk to you about Var." The Blood Scale Clan leader answered.

Tan'Gar walked over to Var'Setta who was just as happy to see him as did he. The raptor like creatures held their respective friend tight in their arms as they felt each other's scales and clothing. Var'Setta closed her eyes softly to enjoy being held by her orange scale friend that helped get rid of her ever day stresses from being the matriarch of her clan. She held Tan'Gar just as firmly and lovingly who gave her the same amount of affection, he brushed the side of his head against that of the Sharp Tail matriarch own scarred face who missed the ways Tan'Gar had held her in the past.

The Blood Scale captain slowly pushed away after he felt the pleasantries had gone on long enough so he could get to the business at hand, Tan'Gar turned around carefully enough not to accidentally slap Var'Setta across the face with his tail.

"Although I hate to admit it, Var, what my clan has here is not just because of my skill as a pirate" Tan'Gar stated.

Var'Setta walked with her well dressed friend who sat back down on his chair that was for the captain of the ship while she took a seat on his right side at the dining table.

"What have you done Tan..." Var'Setta questioned knowing his answer was going to something she did not need to know.

Tan'Gar rubbed his claws nervously as he avoided eye contact with the Sharp Tail queen.

"Do you know about the Crimson Separatist Alliance?" Tan'Gar asked.

Var'Setta shot out of her seat and backed away from the captain who still remained on his lavish chair.

"I should have known!" Var'Setta yelled in anger, "I thought we had an agreement Tan!"

"I know... I know..." Tan'Gar answered back before he took a long sigh, "Look Var'Setta, there was no way my clan could live like we had before; we couldn't reliably take on trading ships now that VALOR has upped security on all of their major trade routes."

Var'Setta refused to listen to Tan'Gar and started to walk at a brisk pace towards the exit where she was quickly stopped by two of Tan'Gar's warriors who were both adorned in stolen VALOR power armour and equipped with just as advance weaponry.

"Var, you and I both know that when VALOR pulled from the outer colonies that we were left too fend for ourselves, we had to turn to piracy in order to live as did many former colonies out here, we were divided and dying." Tan'Gar said as he quickly came behind Var'Setta who turned around.

"Now what?!" Var'Setta yelled as she shoved her middle index finger into Tan

Gar's chest, "Your clan is even worse off, now that VALOR knows that the Blood Scale Clan has aligned themselves with the terrorists! What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking about my people Var! Do you know how hard it is to get rid of hatchlings by shooting them out of an airlock simply because we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone if they were allowed to live? I had to go to sleep with these murders on my soul every night, and that's just the tip of what I had to make my clan go through in order to survive." Tan'Gar argued.

"So you joined the C.S.A?" Var'Setta asked knowing the answer.

"By the gods, yes I did, my whole clan took an oath the second they asked for our help! They gave us what you see now! We grow our own food in the hydroponics bay on deck twelve, technology that has been stolen from VALOR and repurposed to help us!" Tan'Gar said as happy as he could be while taking her claws into his own.

"So you came all this way just to rub your success in my face than?" Var'Setta asked slightly annoyied

"I came all this way so I can offer you a spot in the C.S.A!" Tan'Gar said cheerfully.

"What?" Var'Setta asked shocked.

"Yes! General Grey has tasked me with recruiting the outlying clans in this sector so I went for the best clan in a hundred star miles!" Tan'Gar said as he held Var'Setta's claws tight with affection, "This new ship is still twice as large than what my clan needs..."

"Tan'Gar I'm happy for you, really I am! But we are doing quite fine without what the C.S.A can give us." Var'Setta answered as she pulled from Tan'Gar's grip

"I would hardly count raiding a backwater trade station, fine." Tan'Gar said as he was slightly angered that his friend declined his offer. "How long do you honestly think your clan will survive or the fact that maybe they won't care who is who and will just treat all privateers as members of the C.S.A, all it takes for one, one VALOR cruiser to wipe out your entire clan Var. I'm not asking as a recruitment officer as a friend to join us, I'm asking as a friend who has known you for your entire life."

"What makes you think the C.S.A can defeat the VALOR war machine? I doubt a bunch of pirate clans and some traitor colonies can rebel against something as powerful as VALOR? I will not commit my people to a foolish ideology and a war than cannot be won, my people were once simple farmers...I will not push them even further than who they were once before." Var'Setta argued back

Tan'Gar laughed, "You really believe the C.S.A is made up of only colonists that are angry at their own government that betrayed them? I ask you to look around; do you think simple pirates could get their hands on a VALOR cruiser or power armour? The C.S.A runs a lot deeper than VALOR likes to admit".

Tan'Gar gestured for his security guards to go back to their original posts so he could get closer to the stressed pirate queen of the Sharp Tail Clan.

"I am not leaving without you Var." Tan'Gar said stubbornly, "Think about if our clans were to merge; we could finally settle down and raise a hatchling together...just like how we always talked about if one of us finally made it big. Well Var, I made it and I want you to be my mate."

Var'Setta pushed Tan'Gar away as everything was so sudden and she didn't know what too say. Tan'Gar grew a worried look on his face as he saw his friend's body signs that she wasn't welcome to the idea.

"What's wrong?" He asked puzzled.

"I'm sorry Tan, but allying yourself with the terrorists is not the answer. I will not have my clan go into a war, we were colonists that no other options. I hate how our own government left us out in the cold now especially when the Draconian Kingdom is encroaching into VALOR territory, but not enough to go to war against them." Var'Setta answered.

Tan'Gar lowered his head, saddened by the one thing he didn't want to hear.

"Then at least don't leave without saying a proper goodbye..." Tan'Gar inquired who wasn't subtle about his motives.

Var'Setta opened her arms so her old friend could go back to holding her the way she loved so much.

[Milky Way Galaxy; Outer Colonies, Blood Scale Clan, Crimson Separatist Alliance, Destroyer Cruiser, Redemption, Captain's Quarters (Year 3,588 A.D, June 20thth, 9:15PM]

Var'Setta's eye slits grew as she watched her orange scale covered friend climb over on top of her on his very large and lavish bed. She stroked his smooth backside with her left claw while she admired his physique and his dark red tiger stripes that his clan was known for. Tan'Gar placed his battle scarred claws on his friend's equally as worn shoulders, his mouth just above of Var'Setta's own as her eyes now stared deep into his. Var'Setta kissed her muscular friend who returned with his tongue going into her mouth, the pirate queen let out a small moan before she tackled Tan'Gar in a playful manner so the orange raptor was now on his back.

The red scale female crawled along side Tan'Gar who remained on his back looking at the seductive Sharp Tail who stalked him like her prey. She gave her old friend a wink and lowered her body on the bed so her head was near his out stretched legs, his cock hardened at the thought of what she was going to do to him. Var'Setta began to rub his dick so she could also lick the base of it to help get him to his fullest potential so he could be nice and hard when it came time to fuck her. She moved her free claw towards her already wet pussy where she began caressing it before Tan'Gar's eyes who watched in excitement as he saw all three of her large talons dipped into her tight sex hole. His toes curled as he felt his rock hard cock pulsate while he watched the red scale raptor thrust her talons in and out of her vagina faster and faster with each passing second. He clenched his teeth when Var'Setta licked the pre-cum that spurted from his throbbing cock who moaned in pleasure as she began rubbing her clit as her talons were now covered in her own juices.

Var'Setta took her wet talons from pleasuring the both of them where she crawled to where his feet were and offered for her friend to take the lead as she directed the horny male to where she wanted him.

"Fuck me Tan! Fuck me as hard as you can!" She cried out

He stood over Var'Setta who presented herself allowing for the orange raptor to mount his old friend from behind. Tan'Gar rubbed the sides of the pirate queen's warm thighs before giving her a small kiss of affection on the back of her head who had her tongue out as she panted, waiting to feel his dick go inside her. Tan'Gar moved his claws so he could spread her legs better before he got completely on top of her and rammed his dripping cock straight into her. He closed his eyes shut as he pulled in out of her wet pussy as he continued to fuck her with primal lust, the raptor knew he wasn't going to last much longer as his talons dug deep into the pirate's thigh so he could get a better grip to continue pounding her as hard and as fast as he could.

"Yes...yes! Don't stop Tan, make me yours!" Var'Setta shouted who continued to brace herself on the bed so her friend could keep sliding his hard dick into her even further

Tan'Gar let out a scream of ecstasy as he slammed into her that matched her already loud moans, "I'm....I'm going to cum Var!" he shouted

Tan'Gar felt his friend's body convulse as did she, he shook and his body locked up before he gave one last thrust so his rock hard cock could be as deep in her as possible. The raptor released his powerful orgasm straight into her; he let out a victorious roar as his hot cum pumped inside of her that covered the insides of her pussy. Var'Setta moved her left hand so she could meet the claw than was dug into her left thigh and held it tight as she felt his cock erupt in her once tight vagina.

Tan'Gar let out a small laugh as he fell down on top of Var'Setta's back who collapsed on the bed with him, his soggy wet cock hanging freely as both their juices stained the bed sheets.

"What is so funny?" Var'Setta asked as she regained her normal breathing patterns while her tail intertwined with his so they could hug without having to move.

"What do you and my ship have in common?" Tan'Gar smirked

Var'Setta sighed knowing the answer was going to be something stupid but she asked anyway, "What?"

"I know where to go once I'm inside." Tan'Gar laughed while his friend just sighed at his stupid joke.

Var'Setta rolled out from under the orange raptor so she could reach her armour that was in a pile along with the clothes of her Blood Scale friend, Tan'Gar smiled as he watched her put her crudely painted battle armour over her naked body seeing all of the lights and attachments light up when part of her armour was active.

"I don't suppose you have given my offer a second thought?" Tan'Gar asked hopefully as he still laid nude on top of his bed

Var'Setta shook her head, "I'm sorry Tan but as I said before I just cannot commit my clan to something this big."

Tan'Gar sighed as he stood up on the stained bed sheets checking to see if his manhood was back in his protective sheath before he joined her side so he could reach his clothing.

"When General Grey had asked me to recruit any pirate clans I came across out here, he didn't want me to take 'no' for an answer." Tan'Gar said sternly

Var'Setta turned around so she could look directly into his eyes but when she saw her friend she only found a handgun pointing directly at her. Tan'Gar was breathing incredibly heavy as he aimed the sidearm he had retrieved from one of the hidden caches throughout his quarters like the good pirate he was.

"So what you decided to have sex with me before forcing me to join?" Var'Setta growled as her eyes narrowed

"General Grey does not want any neutral factions in this conflict; we need everyone if we are too overthrow our malignant government! I need you Var, help us!" Tan'Gar pleaded.

"I told you already Tan! The Sharp Tails will-" Var'Setta argued before she grabbed him by the arm and disarmed him of his pistol where she took the orange raptor in an arm lock and pushed the barrel of the handgun into the side of his head.

"G-Guards!" Tan'Gar grasped as he tried to let air into his lungs.

One of Tan'Gar's warriors entered the room; the raptor-esque creature was equipped with the very advance power armour that VALOR marines normally wore. Var'Setta quickly moved her aim and squeezed off several shots into the C.S.A marine's chest, the red armoured marine fell to the ground as the wall behind him was smeared with his crimson blood.

As Var'Setta tried to take her new hostage with her a small orb bounced through the door where the marine had entered and before she could do anything the grenade exploded causing her vision to be blinded long enough for an entire squad of C.S.A marines to take her down.

[Milky Way Galaxy; Outer Colonies, Blood Scale Clan, Crimson Separatist Alliance, Destroyer Cruiser, Redemption, Holding Cells (Year 3,588 A.D, June 20thth, 9:31PM]

Var'Setta sat in the prison cell alongside her clan mates that must have also refused the offer the Crimson Separatist Alliance had given them. She smiled at the thin silver lining knowing that at least a few of her clan mates held true to what she stood for.

Suddenly the doors to where the prison cells were located opened and several C.S.A marines walked in, all of them wearing their modified power armour. Following behind them was Tan'Gar who now wore a fresh cleaned suit while she sat in her dusty and blood stained armour.

"Maybe once you see what the C.S.A is fighting for you will see why my clan is in the right in all this!" Tan'Gar stated as he walked up to Var'Setta's cell.

Var'Setta stood up and grabbed the cell bars with her claws, "You're a mad fool Tan, no one can stop VALOR!"

Tan'Gar shook his head and got ready to follow up on Var'Setta's statement when the entire ship shook, something had entered the system through a shock jump.

"What the hells was that?!" Tan'Gar yelled to his troops.

"Alert, you have broken clause twelve through twenty nine, cut off your engines as you will be boarded, all illegal possessions will be confiscated." The mono-tone voice of a VALOR marine's filter over the ship's communication system announced.

Tan'Gar immediately headed for the bridge with his guards following in behind. Var'Setta laughed as she heard her friend bicker for someone to turn off the communications and get their ship to shock jump immediately.

Var'Setta was thrown to the ground when the ship groaned as the VALOR capital ship got within weapon's range of the C.S.A cruiser and proceeded to target its engines as the stolen ship refused to stay put. She helped her clan mates back onto their feet as some of the younger members of her clan stayed huddled in a ball as both ships traded firepower as the VALOR flag ship began to pick up speed.

"Die VALOR dog!" one of the C.S.A guards yelled just outside of the prison cell room.

Var'Setta winced as she heard a plethora of shots go off before the door opened once more and in walked a VALOR marine. The alien did not wear the standard blue and white gear his comrades did but instead he had yellow plates over the black mesh underlay that protected all his most vital areas, orange war stripes had been painted over his armour and on his right shoulder was a black star painted on top as well.

The alien creature was an orinthor, a race of creatures most known for their duck like bills and flat short tails. The VALOR marine walked over to her cell as he ignored all the other ones, he took the cell bars into his webbed hands and ripped the door off its hinges before tossing it away without a second thought.

" Sir, I have her." The orange stripped marine reported to his wrist communicator

"Excellent work Mr. Flat Tail, proceed to the extraction point." The marine's superior answered

The VALOR marine grabbed Var'Setta by the arm but she shrugged the platypus like creature's grip away as she shook her head.

"I am not leaving without my clan." Var'Setta stated as she looked the marine straight into his visor.

The marine looked around the prison to see if his Heads Up Display could pick up any nearby hostiles and when he registered none in the area he raised his wrist back to his helmet and began to speak into it about the latest update.

"Alright, have your clan mates head to this area." The marine said through his voice filtering helmet as he pressed a button on his wrist showing the blue prints of the ship and a large red dot of where they needed to go.

Var'Setta looked at her clan mates who were unsure on what to do as they knew if they went with VALOR they would be arrested and imprisoned for all the wrong things they had done as pirates.

"Go! All of you!" Var'Setta ordered to her clan that started to get up, "I'm not sure about the C.S.A but VALOR does not kill its prisoners now go all of you!"

Her clan hesitantly got up and proceeded to walk out of their cells when the marine had pulled the doors off but as the ship continued to rock in violence they all picked up speed knowing going with VALOR was the safer of the two options they had.

"We have to get going, now." The marine ordered as he gestured with his head into the direction her clan was running off too.

"I still have business I need to take care of" Var'Setta answered stubborn like a mule.

"My orders are to get you to safety." The marine responded.

"To the hells with your orders, I have unfinished matters with the captain." She growled back.

The marine sighed, even his voice filter could not mask his annoyed reaction, he raised his wrist back to his helmet while keeping an eye on Var'Setta who seemed to be watching his movements to see the perfect opportunity to take his weapon.

"Sir, permission to go after a high target in the C.S.A"

The marine waited with his arm near his upper body as he pointed his rifle with one hand at the Sharp Tail matriarch.

"Permission granted." The marine on the other end responded.

Var'Setta watched the VALOR marine walk over to where the dead C.S.A guard he had just killed to enter the room and pulled his side arm from his thigh, he casually tossed the weapon to the pirate queen and pointed with his own weapon to where the captain was last seen.

[Milky Way Galaxy; Outer Colonies, Blood Scale Clan, Crimson Separatist Alliance, Destroyer Cruiser, Redemption (Year 3,588 A.D, June 20thth, 9:55PM]

"Die government pigs!" A C.S.A marine boldly stated as he fired his assault rifle with one hand while standing out of cover.

Var'Setta quickly looked out from behind the wall she hid behind as energy projectiles flashed down the hallway towards her and the platypus like marine. She gripped the illegally modified gun by its grip with both of her claws and pulled down on the trigger to allow several shots to be snapped off into the head of the rebel marine who had just mocked them.

Her marine ally took the moment of opportunity as the suppressive fire began to quiet down as the red armoured rebels saw one of their allies fall over backwards with a puncture in his helmet. The alien quickly moved through the hallway taking several pot shots at the C.S.A marines who also returned with a barrage of high grade ammunition.

Var'Setta watched the alien orinthor take cover that was closer to the entrance of the bridge where the enemy rebels were firing from. She took eye at the smooth metal surface of the wall and the position of the rebel marines who focused their firepower on her ally's location.

Var'Setta closed one eye shut as she fired off a round from her modified handgun, the round bounced off the wall just at the correct angle so it could hit her target straight into left most C.S.A marine. The human rebel fell on his side as his helmet began to fill with his own blood.

The yellow armoured VALOR marine took a grenade from his belt and "cooked" it for a good few seconds before tossing the live explosive straight into where the defenders were. The pirate queen grinned as she quickly shot down any of the rebel C.S.A marines that retreated from their position using a single round to take down each of the marines with her efficient accuracy.

The grenade went off sending numerous of the red armoured rebels in the air as the blast propelled their bodies into the air. Var'Setta moved from her safe cover spot and ran forward while she watched the VALOR marine do the same who continuingly fired his assault rifle to keep the remaining rebel's heads down.

"The outer colonies will never be yours VALOR sc-"One of the rebels shouted before Var'Setta fired a round straight into the raptor's forehead silencing his zealot nature.

"Nice shot." The marine said to Var'Setta as she quickly ran up to where he was taking cover

"These Blood Scales are nothing without their stolen power armour; they lack skill in their shots." Var'Setta commented

The platypus like alien winced as an energy projectile grazed his left shoulder guard, "Yeah, but it sure as hell doesn't make them any weaker"

Var'Setta looked into the marine's visor to see the reflection of a C.S.A marine looking out of cover from behind a wall, the pirate queen without looking away pointed the weapon behind her and fired off a round where it hit the rebel straight through his own visor.

The last remaining defenders of Tan'Gar's bridge rushed the two's position in a final attempt to cut their hated enemies down. The VALOR marine was knocked to the ground as a Blood Scale warrior and a human both tackled him at once, the two C.S.A marines beating the senses out of the orinthor. Var'Setta moved to help but a rebel hand suddenly shoved the butt of his rifle into her back sending her down to the floor as well, she looked to face her attacker and saw it was the member of the same species her marine ally was.

As the rebel orinthor got his rifle ready to shoot her directly in the face Var'Setta swiped with her tail to trip the C.S.A marine to the ground. The pirate queen got to her feet and unloaded the rest of her clip into the rebel's head where she started to hear a clicking sound as the weapon had run dry. She tossed the expended weapon onto the corpse that was the dead orinthor and moved to her struggling ally where he had already been wounded several times by the rebel's crude knives.

Var'Setta pulled the Blood Scale marine off who whipped around violently as he was denied his kill. The pirate queen's grip failed and the C.S.A marine broke free from her hold allowing him to strike at her with his large rigged knife that was not standard issue. She struggled to keep the power armour wearing rebel from plunging his dagger straight into her neck but as the blade started to graze her unprotected neck she slammed her head straight into the rebel's helmet that was enough to disorient him, she kept her mind focused as the blow had also did more damage to herself but the break in his defence was enough for the pirate queen to force his own weapon straight into the raptor's visor killing the rebel in a single blow.

She felt incredibly woozy as her head butt had taken more out of her than she realized, she moved her left claw to her forehead and winced as she felt her blood on her head and claw. Var'Setta groggily walked over to where the VALOR marine wrestled with the C.S.A rebel; she took the blade from the dead Blood Scale and stuck it straight into the human's backside severing the rebel's spine.

The VALOR marine got up onto his feet seeing the pirate queen had a nasty head concussion as she already a huge bump on her forehead that still bled. Var'Setta sat down trying to get her bearing as she could see the room was spinning before her eyes, the marine limped towards her as his attackers got a mighty good wound on his right leg that his armour was trying to heal.

"You alright?" The marine asked.

"Yeah...yeah..." Var'Setta said as she waved the marine away seeing as she did not need the VALOR marine to help her up.

The pirate queen slowly got back onto her feet and walked towards the entrance as she picked up a sidearm from a fallen rebel marine to the bridge when the VALOR marine began to follow her. Var'Setta turned around too see the orinthor right behind her.

"I have to deal with the good captain, alone." She stated sternly.

"You are not going anywhere without me." The marine responded in his filtered voice.

Var'Setta knew the VALOR marine wasn't going to let her go any time so she quickly aimed at his good leg and find a shot straight into his thigh dropping the duck billed alien to the ground. The pirate queen turned back around and walked towards the bridge of Tan'Gar's ship while the VALOR marine laid on the ground waiting for his armour to heal his injuries.

Tan'Gar turned around as his ship rocked from another salvo of plasma torpedoes that destroyed the last remaining engine on his flag ship. The male Blood Scale saw Var'Setta enter his bridge where he had been waiting for her.

"I knew you would come get me." Tan'Gar said as he walked up to her unarmed.

Var'Setta aimed her handgun directly at her old friend's skull but her arms shook causing her aim to fail her as Tan'Gar now was up against her weapon.

"You aren't going to shoot me." Tan'Gar said smugly.

"N-No." Var'Setta sighed as she hated herself when her friend took the gun away from her with one hand and dropped it to the ground.

"It's still not too late Var." Tan'Gar smiled, "VALOR is nothing to the C.S.A, join us and we can finally be a family together!"

Var'Setta shook her head even though the offer was very tempting, "Tan'Gar, just turn yourself into the authorities. I know what it feels like how to hate VALOR, how they pulled from the outer colonies and left us to rot while the Draconian Kingdom took over where VALOR had retreated from but starting a rebellion won't solve anything!"

"You just don't get it." Tan'Gar argued condescendingly before he placed his claws on her armoured shoulders.

Var'Setta placed both of her own armoured gauntlets on his left claw as she looked deeply into the slits on his eyes that stared back at her.

"I love you Tan." She stated.

Tan'Gar closed his eyes as he kissed the pirate queen directly on her mouth that swung her arm around his head and pulled the orange skinned raptor closer to her body. Var'Setta closed her eyes as well when she pulled away from his mouth and rubbed her head against his own while taking his body into her arms.

"I know." Tan'Gar whispered softly.

Var'Setta watched as Tan'Gar pulled away from her so he could get to his escape pod that was waiting for him. The Blood Scale captain walked towards his exit and gripped the opened pod door with one hand before he turned his head around.

"I really hope you know what you are doing Var." Tan'Gar sighed.

"As do you." She replied just as worried.

Tan'Gar shook his head and entered the escape pod where he closed the entrance shut allowing for the C.S.A captain to safely escape his wrecked star ship.

Var'Setta sat on chair that was far more comfortable than what she was normally accustomed too. Directly across from her was a black armoured VALOR marine who wore an equally as dark trench coat over his power armour and an officer's cap on his helmet. The marine that had helped her stood at the only doorway that led into the square shaped room, both of his legs wounds had healed as the orinthor stood with his arms crossed not amused in anyway.

"As you know miss Sharp Tail, your little pirate clan has done many things..." the VALOR officer said through his filter.

He placed a folder in front of Var'Setta who went through it herself and saw VALOR had been keeping a track record of every ship, station and colony that her clan raided for supplies in the past. She quickly skimmed through the incriminating evidence to see all of her illegal deeds were there in writing which she slid back the folder to the human officer.

"I'm not stupid; if VALOR wanted to arrest me they would not have sent for a Titan cruiser or for that matters bring me to this...room, so what do you want?" Var'Setta said sharply.

"You are correct, which is why I wanted to offer you a position in our government that has graciously allowed for both you and your clan to be pardon of all you past crimes against VALOR." The human answered as he leaned forward in his chair.

"What's the catch?" Var'Setta asked as the proposition had seized her interest.

The black armoured officer leaned closer as did Var'Setta when the human answered.

"Being a pirate I'm sure you are very well aware of the state of the outer colonies, VALOR had to reallocate resources after the devastating war twenty years ago, this of course led many worlds to fall to the Draconian Kingdom who are taking advantage of our weakened state to expand their borders by ten fold." The officer stated while Var'Setta nodded and gestured with her right claw to get to the point.

"And where does a pirate queen of a small clan come in all this?" she asked.

"When we saw your clan coming up in our reports the most notable parts was always how marine teams stated how their leader had more accuracy then they did even though the marines were using power armour or that with your guidance you disable not one but six VALOR cruiser with your rickety frigate simply because you had a better sense on where to target." The black armoured officer complimented.

"Your point being...?" Var'Setta asked slightly annoyed and tired.

"The president himself has requested me to put together a squad of elite individuals that would undergo high priority missions that would keep VALOR and innocents everywhere safe from the Draconian Kingdom and the growing terrorist threat." He answered.

Var'Setta looked at the orinthor that stood guard in the room; the platypus like alien had his rifle in both of his hands as he stood stoically.

"I suppose I will be working with him?" She asked

The human nodded, "Draco was the first I recruited, and counting you I have four more individuals that are paramount to the success of the team."

"So if I agree to help you, you will let my clan settle down?" Var'Setta said hopefully.

The officer nodded again, "Your clan will have a clean record and free too pursue a field of work inside VALOR, and they will never have to be pirates again."

"If it means by brothers and sisters never have to throw their lives in their line just to feed their young ones on a daily basis then yes... I'll help you, I'll join your 'team'" Var'Setta answered as she got up.

The human took his officer's cap off of his helmet and placed it on the table that was between the two chairs. Var'Setta out stretched her right arm where the black armoured human shook her three-talon claw with his gloved hand.

"So, what is your name?" Var'Setta asked as she took away her claw when the hand shake was finished.

"Call me Charles, Charles Wareman." The human answered.
