Chat room adventures

Alice and Scipio have been sitting in that small room below the stairs for three hours, "they've probably left by now." Alice says being pemistic.

"They wouldn't leave without you."

"How do you know?"

"I just do."

"Whatever," Alice rolls her eyes and leans against Scipio. "I hate this shit." There was a bang, against what they could only assume was the door and then the turning of the knob followed by light flooding the room as Rick and Roya stepped in.

"Alice!" Roya cries. Alice jumps up and hugs Roya and Rick.

"Rick, you tried to kick the door open didn't you?"

"Yeah," he said looking at his shoes. "Only me would try to kick an unlocked door open right?"

"Thats alright Rick."

"Who's that?" Rick demands.

"This," Alice helps Scipio stand. "This is Scipio, he helpped me excape the things."

"We shouldn't leave her alone should we?" Rick asks him.

"No we shouldn't."

Adam hears Roya in his ear.

"We've got Alice!"

"Great, Everyone return to the shuttle. Heather says theses invisible things are called Opats?"

"Roger." Adam led the way back to the shuttle hopeing they wouldn't run into any more of those things.

Nutty looked around the room. "Wow! Matt! Look at this... I don't know what this is!" Nutty proudly shows him what she is holding.

Matt peered at it. "Nutty, It's a piece of wood that happens to look like a... piece of wood... it's AWESOME!"

Nutty grinned. "I know. It can go with my collection of stuff that looks like itself."

She looked around. "So, apparently we have to go back now. Er, back is... that-a-way, right?"

Adam sees the shuttle at the end of the tunnel.

"No we just need everyone else to show up." Adam looked as his miny computer. He could see the dots of his crew and then a few extra. "uh-oh." He clicked his radio. "Guys, two unknown things are coming up on Alice, Roya, Rick and whoever else is with you guys."

"Umm, I dunno." Mattster replies. "I actually thought it was the opposite way."

"Matt, Nutty's right. It's that way." Ned adds.

"Shut up!" Mattster exclaims; Nutty glares at him. "Aagh! Not you Nutty."

Nutty turns away and walks down the hallway she had been facing.

"Great. Thanks a lot, Flanders."

"My name is not Flanders. Now go on and follow her, your team is ready to leave."

Mattster glares at Ned... well, he can't since Ned has no solid form, so Mattster glares at a hatrack in the corner of the room instead.

"Screw you! I'm going this way!"

Mattster struts in the opposite direction, brushing aside Ned's protests.

"Wait," Scipio says, "do you hear something?"

"No," Alice says.

"They're comin up on us! Run!" Scipio pushes Alice ahead and pulls roya behind.

"What's coming up on us?" Rick asks.

"The girl eating things!" Scipio replies.

"Run!" Rick pushes roya faster.

"We're already running!" she says.

Scipio turns a corner and drags Alice back with him, Rick and Roya follow.

"There's someone else with them?" Heather asks.
"Yeah, hopefully not one of those creatures," Adam replies.
"It must be my brother. Claire says he's looking for me," Heather realises happily.
"Come on, we should go find them," Bella decides.
"But what if we get lost?" Adam protests.
"But we can't just do nothing," Heather insists.
"Look. There's Nutty and Matt. They're almost here," Bella notices.
"But how does that help the others?" ADAM ASKS.
"It doesn't," Bella replies, "But it means we can split up."
"That's right. They don't eat boys so me and Matt should go help the others while you guard the ship. Great idea Bella!" Adam declares
"For once I think you might be right," Heather murmers to herself.

"How far away is the hanger?" Rick asks.

"Um... not very far," Scipio says. "But they are twice as fast as us, there's no way we can out run them."

"I can distract them," Alice says.

"No," Rick and Scipio say. "You'll get eaten."

"Better me than roya."

"Hell no," Roya says, "we'll figure something else out."

"And besides you'll get lost," Rick says.

"Will no-"

"Shh, they're coming."

Sevral minutes later

"Have they passed?"

"Yeah, run." Alice runs next to scipio because he knows where he's going... hopefully.

"Matt," Bella says quietly, pulling her friend aside as soon as he had caught up with the rest of the group. "Who have you been tlaking too lately?"

"Um...no one," he answers, too quickly.

"Matt, hold still," Bella places one of her hands on his forehead and uses her magic to listen into his head. "Ned?" she mutters.

"Yeah...that's Mr. Knight."

"Oh, Mr. Knight!"

"You remember?" matt asks in awe.

"Yeah, totally."

"How?"

"I dunno, I just do."

"Look!" cries Adam, "It's alice and the others!"

The translucent afterimages of the girl eating thingys are right behind them.

"Everyone on the shuttle!" Adam pulls out his pole. Alice, Roya, Rick and the new boy they are traveling with run past. "Eat this you invisible thingys! Psionic Boom!"

The pole Slams into the ground sending a shockwave of psychihc power outward, colliding with the beasts. Adam runs onto the shuttle and takes off.

Alice leans against the wall breathing deeply, Roya on her right and Rick on her left. Scipio was hugging Heather like a big brother would.

"Guys this is my brother, Scipio, thats not his real name of course but he's kinda touchey about his real name."

Alice gets off from against the wall and takes a seat, Scipio sits next to her. "We can't leave you alone at all can we?"

"You can too," she protests.

"No we can't," Rick says leaning over the seat from behind.

"Oh shut it, you're just a jinx rick."

"Then why do you get into most trouble when you're not around me?"

"I don't know," Alice glares at rick. "Anyways what does it really matter?"

"It matters because if we're having to rescue you all the time we won't get anything else done."

"We have a lot of fun though."

Bella walks through the shuttle, trying to find a bathroom. "GAH!!!!!!" she screams in terror when she opens the door and finds the thing.

"What is it?" Adam calls back from his seat.

"A...girl...eating...thingy...not invisible...anymore..." Bella replies, panting because she just ran as fast as she possibly could from the bathroom door to the front of the shuttle.

"How many of them?"

"Only one."

"Ok, girls, get up here so we can keep you safe." Scipio began ordering everyone around, pointing every which way.

Alice stayed hidden in her seat, her sword drawn, if she was able to see the damn things now she could get a swing at him in.

"Alice stay there!" Rick yells as the girl eating thing pumbles through. Alice rolls her eyes and holds her sword defensibly in front of her.
