Aella twisted and turned the surfboard beneath her feet in wide s-turns. (In surfing, s-turns are like enlarged squiggles) Molten lava sloshed and sprayed out dangerously close from behind her as her speed increased. The ocean of magma rolled and built into massive waves and fell with enormous splashes and gushes of the white-hot liquid rock. Many said the sport of lava surfing was treacherous; insane; a cheap, foolhardy source of amusement. In other words, just how Aella and her sisters liked it. Well...a few of her sisters, anyway. Both Feliciana and Jade never enjoyed the idea of nearly being roasted alive by molten magma with barely any protection and both Miki and Malandra were too young and forbidden by their parents to surf in the Wastelands. This left Aella, Cassiah and Jade's brother, Erone to surf the molten rock.
Her surfboard, specially made to withstand the deadly heat of the lava, bounded up to the crest of a large wave before side-slipping downwards, leaving Aella riding the face of the wave and leading her toward the shore of blackened rock.

There was a loud explosion followed by the sound of what was ether a realy joyfull scream or a realy scaired laugh behind Aella. Then, passing her with great speed was a very thin and very tall man that was surfing on a large board shaped peice of rock.
"HHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP HAHAHA!" the man screamed/laughed as he wiggled and wobbled on top of his makeshift board as it slowly got smaller and smaller, being eaten away by the lava. He was forced to stand on one leg as he got closer to the shore, all the while going incredibly fast.
He hit land, sending him tumbling head over heels and finaly slowing to a stop on his face.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow" He painfully muttered.

Aella's sisters, Feliciana and Jade, whom had been watching from the shore, gaped as the lanky, tall man suddenly face-planted onto the dusty rock and ran to his aid as he crashed.
Feliciana gasped. "Oh my goodness! Sir, are you alright?" She kneeled down beside the man and gently tugged on his arm. Jade stood back and stared, fidgeting with her palms, not something unusual for the constantly trembling Merb.
Aella snorted, calmly drifting onto the shore and picking up her surfboard. She walked over to the fallen man and, without warning, roughly kicked him in the ribs. "You mind tellin' us what the hell you were doing out there?" The Lizard snapped.
"Aella!" Feliciana huffed, slapping Aella's leg.

"Impf herp" the man said before he shifted and started to stand up, and up and up. Untill he stood a decent head above Aella and was thinner than her. It was then his full face was revealed, with most of his head bandaged a few locks of blond hair stuck out while his left eye was the eye of a lizard's behind a glass "monocle."
Overall, he looked like an asylum convict.
"This is the reason why I don't specialize in explosives" he commented to himself as he dusted himself off before wrapping his arms around himself like an asylum resident. He then noticed Aella and said "sorry for the intrusion 'he he' but I had to get rid of a few pests that were on my tail. By the way, my name is Fritz."

Aella raised an eyebrow at the strange man. "'Pests?' What, you mean Cyclonians?"
Feliciana whacked Aella's arm lightly. "Aella, don't be so rude!" Said Lizard grunted and turned away from her sister. Feliciana cleared her throat and smiled at the tall man. "Sorry about her, she's...um, not very sociable with humans."

"Well, she is nicer than any of the other lizards that I have encountered" Fritz said before turning to Aella and saying "I wouldn't stand there if I were you." He then bit his lip as he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side before his Turbo Twister crashed dangeriously close to where she was just standing. And to say it crashed wouldn't be technicaly correct, it more or less bounced and then landed upside down.
"Sorry about that, my ride has a tendency to land on people when I am not driving it." Fritz said a tad bit nervious.
He then turned to Feliciana and asked "you seem like a realy nice lady, I was wondering if I can crash here for a hour before shoving off. I need to wait for my ride to cool down."

Aella stared at the strange vehicle that had just very nearly crash-landed on top of her. She harshly pulled her arm out of Fritz's grasp and walked past Feliciana. "Hmph, whatever. I don't care if you stay or not. We don't own the Wastelands..."
Feliciana rolled her eyes at her sister, before turning back to Fritz with a smile. "Of course you can stay, sir. We weren't planning to stay long ourselves."

"Oh goodey" Fritz said "because I don't know if I should stay long ether." He then looked back at his ride and touched it, burning his finger. "Well, I have time, so I take it that your a squadron of some type, seeing that everyone here seems to be one big happy family." Fritz said exadurating the 'big happy family' part.

Feliciana smiled and nodded. "Yes, we are a squadron actually. We're the Inferno Surfers. Although four of our other members are on our airship above the Wastelands."
Aella packed her surfboard onto the back of her Air Skimmer, securely fastening it to the back emergency engines but out of the way of the wheels, rockets or Crystal afterburner. Jade stood by on Feliciana's Heliscooter, still fidgeting.

"The Inferno Surfers" Fritz said as he looked around to find the airship "so that's who you are. I just heard some of the cyclonians talk about you. But I didn't hear much after they found me running away with a few of there files." Fritz then held up a few files and said "you know the locks that they use for the cabbnets are just cheap, I mean I am able to kick them off easly."

Feliciana snickered. "Oh, the Cyclonians. I'm not surprised they talk about us, we've have had a couple of run-ins with them lately." She then sat back on her Helicscooter beside Jade.
Aella turned her head in Fritz's direction. "So, what're those files about, anyway?" She huffed when Feliciana suddenly glared at her, obviously irked by her manners.

"Well, the files are about me" Fritz said as he pulled them out "I am trying to erase any physical exsistance of me even encountering them. Well, without being killed." Fritz hopped on the Turbo Twister and cringed as it was still very very hot, but workable. "I hope you don't mind if I tag along in you airship for an hour so I can get a decent distance from here, they are probebly looking for me at this moment."

"Huh. Doesn't matter to me. If those Cyclonians come lookin', we'll just blow 'em out of the sky." 'Strange though. He is only one man. How those files, which supposedly hold information about him, are from the Cyclonians and yet he barely looks to be a threat to them...well, besides that hellish vehicle he has. Damn thing could've crushed my skull in...' Reving up her Air Skimmer's engine, Aella drove down the dusky shoreline, tearing up a hillside and flying off the edge. Automatically engaging her Skimmer's wings and locking in her wheels, she flew into the misty clouds above in the direction of their airship.
Feliciana sighed, pulling herself and Jade onto her Heliscooter and enabled it's propellers. Starting up the engine, Feliciana turned back to Fritz and grinned. "No, we don't mind your company at all. Just follow us, our airship should be easy enough to spot when we're out of the clouds." Jade continued to fidget and tremble in her seat.

Fritz started his ride up with a loud roar and followed them. It looked slightly comical as the small heli scooter was being chased by this large wheeled mostrosity that could only be described as the monster truck of all bikes. But then agen, there could be somthing bigger out there.
Fritz gained some speed as he launched the Turbo Twister over the side and activated the flight mode. Spinning the wheel/props over to the side and spinning them while the front stablizer popped out of the front. Fritz flew over becide Feliciana and yelled "thank you, your very very kind, I will pay you back whenever I can!" His ride figetid a little as it spun around before wobbling back into place.

"Hehe, it's no problem, sir. We only wish to help!" Feliciana smiled. Her heli-scooter zoomed through the misty clouds, trailing behind Aella's Air Skimmer. The clouds dissipated to reveal a giant airship, built to look like an old Carrack-style ship. Enormous jet engines sat on the lower stern of the ship while whisps of crystal energy shone across the entire bottom-side of the airship, helping the structure stay afloat. Suddenly, a small section of the ship broke apart from the bow, displaying the entrance to the flight deck. Aella increased her speed, leaving Feliciana and Fritz still in the clouds, driving her Skimmer into the doorway and landing, then folded in her vehicle's bi-wings and turned off the engines. ----- OOC: The Carrack-style ship can be seen here -> www.thepirateking.com/ships/ship_types.htm

"Wow, that looks almost as good as the Clipper" Fritz said as he landed with a bounce or two. The Turbo Twister leaned sidways a little as it stood on a measly little kick stand and basicly dwarfed the others in size, even though it was mostly wheel. Gettning off, Fritz asked "so, is all the rooms this tall, because if they are I might get very used to this place."

Aella shrugged as she parked her Air Skimmer in a vehicle stand near the metallic walls. "Eh, the top and lower decks are enormous while the middle is mainly just normal-sized rooms, labs, kitchen, etcetera..." Feliciana parked her Heli-scooter against the opposite wall. "Even though the top and bottom deck are just mostly giant spaces, not really rooms perse."
Jade crawled off of the Scooter, fidgeting and shaking as usual. "W-Well, least we have b-b-big open rooms r-rather than small, c-constricting sp-paces. D-Doesn't irrit-tate my claustrophobia b-b-but with my agoraphobia, m-my..."
"We get it, Jade, you hypochondriac." Aella muttered, obviously in a bad mood. Jade yelped and dove behind Aella's legs as the doors on the other side of the deck suddenly opened, revealing Cassiah, a young human girl wearing her normal Beret hat, Malandra, a 12 year old human with a broken, mechanical tail and Miki, a small Terradon toddler. "Well, someone all surfed out, are they?" Cassiah teased with a grin.

"MWAha" Fritz laughed with a surprize "what a big crew you have.... mostly girls.... boy do I feel more singled out than usual."
Fritz had to crouch down to get a good look at them all, making him look like an odd looking frog. His eye twitched around as he introduced himself. "My name is Fritz, Fritz Napoleon Sane, it's nice to meet the rest of this very fine crew."
Somthing then gave a loud pop on the Turbo Twister causing Fritz to spin around and yell "QUIET YOU BLASTED CONTRAPTION!" He then turned around and apologised "realy, I am sorry, it's always like that when it's not the center of attention."

"Eh heh, well, we do have one male on our squadron, Erone, but he's a Merb. But a great crew member nonetheless." Feliciana smiled, rubbing the back of her neck. Turning to her family, she began their introductions, "And this is Cassiah, Malandra, Miki and Jade. I'm Feliciana and this big, ol' Lizard here is Aella." She wrapped a playful arm around Aella, rolling her eyes when said lizard snorted and gave a half-hearted wave to Fritz. Everyone jumped (Jade shrieked and pounced on Aella's shoulders) when Fritz's vehicle suddenly popped and when said man shouted. Cassiah blinked, scratching her head beneath her beret. "You..talk as though that thing has a mind of its own. Like it's alive or something."
There was a loud creak from the ceiling, before a small door opened and a sudden blur of blue and black fell onto the flight deck floor with a loud -and painful- crash. "GAH! I heard something down here! Where's the fire!?" The body, which could be recognized as a Merb, sprung up and stood on his feet a bit unsteadily. Aella huffed, stepping closer and swiftly whacked the Merb on the head. "Shut up, Erone. Shouldn't you be piloting the ship?"
The tall Merb grinned, despite just being hit on the head, and tugged on one of Aella's horns. "Auto-pilot, Aella!"

Fritz chuckled at the comment as he said amused "Of course it isn't alive, it has a mind of it's own sometimes but it certanly isn't alive." Fritz then looked at the merb that just dropped in and twitched a tad before commenting "well, I hope it has an auto pilot, I have crashed way to many times for it to be healthy." Fritz then stretched a moment adding "is there any place to rest around here, I havent had a break in weeks."

Aella huffed, pulling Erone off of her horns. "We all know how to fly the ship, so yes, we're positive that there's an auto-pilot..."
Feliciana sighed, shaking her head but smiling. "But we do have a couple of extra rooms on the middle deck, or the top deck. Whichever is fine for you." Miki, the small Terradon toddler, sniffed at Fritz for a moment before squealing happily, using her small mechanical wings to float up and land on top of Fritz's head with a grin. Cassiah snickered. "I think Miki likes you."

Fritz smiled as he said "and I can say the same for Miki, as long as the little fella dosn't mess around with the bandages."
Later, Fritz was in the top deck playing a strange instrament that sounded like many stringed instraments in one. The sound was slighlty electric but in a organic kind of way.
((I was wondering if I could have the Cyclonians attack, do I have the power?))

"Ha! Nah, the most that lil' monster will do is just refuse to move. Other than that, you should be fine." Cassiah snickered.
-------
Malandra sat beside Fritz, listening and staring at the strange instrument curiously while Miki continued to sit atop Fritz's head, dozing off. Aella sat on the ships railing, staring out into the clouds.

The clouds floated jentaly untill a large red beam pearced through the white fluff and hit the hull of the airship. Bursting out of the clouds came a Cyclonian Destroyer and what looked like a fleet of Switchblades.
The entire ship shook abruptly, causing Fritz to fall in Malandra's lap and then roll of onto the floor. "I thought they couldn't send renforcements" Fritz said startled "I even destroyed the raideos."
