Chapter 7 - Shauna; Just one of Joey's Creeps
#7 of Dusk to Dawn
Chapter 7 - Shawna, Just one of Joey's many Creeps
You guys know the drill don't read if your younger than 18... though I cant really control who accesses this. This story contains sex between two males, and all that jazz... (All characters are copyright to me, please ask to use them, I would love to see some art made from these stories, I can picture it just not draw it quite the right way :P ) Hope you enjoy it.

"Then bring it," Skye shouted across the com, a bright smirk across his face as he closed the channel. "Becka, as soon as they lock on to us with weapons, transfer a self copying version of you over to their ship, overload their processors, and cripple them.
"Aye, sending copy now," Becka appeared on the holo-pad looking at Skye with the same smirk. "Hacking into their systems... and... got it." She crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for Skye to do his part.
"Alex, Spencer, suit up we're going for a space walk," Skye commanded, "Becka, get the transport beam ready, vent the atmosphere of their ship when..." Skye was cut off by a loud thud and was of static electricity as a plasma beam lanced at the shields.
"They've got us in a weapons lock, and are attempting to fire again," Alex warned.
"Open a com channel to the Prospect," Skye ordered.
"Channel open Skye go for it," Alex replied a second later.
"Prospect, this is Skye requesting you transport some basic crew over to the Shroud, were going on another space walk."
"This is Blake, I'm sending over some crew their already briefed on your situation, and are ready to step in." Blake closed the com channel.
A second later the Bridge was filled with a cool green light as the supply crew dissolved into existence and sat at their respective positions.
"Skye, you're good to go," a tall blond man stepped up to him.
"Alex, Spencer let's go," Skye turned to Becka's console; "send us over, overwrite their blocking mech."
"Aye, prepare for transport," Becka displayed a countdown on a holo-pad in front of them.
A few seconds later the same bright green light surrounded them and then suddenly the main corridor of the Draconian ship.
"There still isn't an atmosphere here," Alex stated, "So it appears that Blake's biological techs did the right things, we're still alive."
"Let's go," Alex took the lead, Spencer taking the point as they walked towards the bridge.
"Wow, you know I've never seen the effects of venting the atmosphere of a ship, this is the first time." Spencer frowned. "It's not all that pretty."
"Yeah, well I guess we should keep moving," Alex replied, though it was evident that it bothered him as well. The three of them knew that had this occurred to their ship within the last few days they could've all died, and become a decorative body lying on the floor of a ship.
"The bridge is just beyond this door," Skye read off his tablet.
"I'll hack our way in, just as usual." Alex grinned, but his thoughts were still elsewhere.
The doors to the bridge slide seamlessly into the walls as they stepped foot into the cold room.
"I thought you guys would be here a lot faster than this, I'm very disappointed," A girl's voice rang throughout the bridge.
"Why aren't you taking a nap like the rest of your crew?" Skye sneered.
"What you guys honestly thought that I was that much of a push over, I am the captain after all!" The girl spat.
"Look Shawna, just come out and let's get this over with," Skye spat.
"Wow aren't we testy," Shawna walked out from behind the main control console. "I don't think that you're ready for fighting me Skye, even with your boyfriend here."
"Shut up!" Alex shouted.
"Oooooohhh and such a cutie he is too, too bad your gay Alex, cause you really are a looker," she mocked.
"Look they're not gay, they like girls too," Spencer cut in.
"Relax Spencer, this is how her morphs powers work, she feeds off of anger and rage, using them to give her strength and she uses it to literally increase her attacks powers." Skye explained. "She was one of Joey's followers that forced us to go into space after him, she revealed his plans to the general public; he basically had volunteers lining up to be transformed."
"Wow, people actually volunteered to go through the pain and suffering that we went through?" Spencer asked.
"Well they kind of dressed it up a little bit, and sure enough ten years later they gave me my own ship and we took off after Joey, to stop his culling of other planets." Skye continued.
"Yet despite their best actions, the idiots on Earth still managed to screw up enough to allow us to cull a few planets, and build up enough of an army to really fuck your fleet up good." Shawna said grinning.
"I thought I told you to shut up!" Skye spat again.
"All right then lover boy let's go!" Shawna spread her legs into a fighting stance and made her own traditional hang gesture.
The two lunged at one another, leaping into the air, as a ball of white flames engulfed Skye, a shower of crimson sparks exploded off of Shawna. The two morphed ripped through their shrouds, Skye's white dragon form looking as majestic as ever, and Shawna had become a huge scorpion, whipping its pincers and barbed tail around in the air. Shawna made her move first, she lunged at Skye, reaching out with her pincers and swinging wildly him. Skye barely had enough time to move as he ducked under the claw; leaving Shawna open to a blow.
Skye took his opportunity and shot a blast of white flames under the pincer and onto her delicate skin underneath, eliciting a scream from her.
"That's it Skye, you're as good as dead now!" Shawna growled; whipping her tail out from behind her and slapping Skye to the ground.
Skye managed to avoid the tip of her poisoned appendage but became pinned underneath it as she wrapped one of her pincers around his neck, hoisting him up into the air.
Skye managed to shoot a stream of fire into Shawna's face, just before she clamped down around his wind pipe, which made a high pitched whistling sound as his massive lungs tried to pull the precious oxygen into it lungs.
However, a second later Skye realized something, he didn't need the oxygen, in fact the area they were fighting in was completely O2 free, and they were still fighting.
Skye managed to squirm free of her claws and pull himself to a far enough distance that he could whip his own tail at her, throwing her to the ground.
"How does that feel huh?" He gasped for breath.
"Why do I feel so tired suddenly?" Skye thought, "I feel like I'm going to pass out."
"Skye!" Alex shouted, but by the time that he snapped back into it Shawna had slapped him to the ground once more with her massive tail.
"Feeling tired yet Skye, has the truth finally dawned on you?" Shawna began to pant herself.
"Yeah, I think I've got it," Skye replied between gasps, "You don't need to breathe because the technology slows down the rate at which your body metabolizes Oxygen. So your cells slowly use the reserve that's in your body to sustain its self."
"To think, I actually mistook you for an idiot!" She cackled, "Besides, the more movement and actions you make will actually drain that reserve a lot more frequently then just floating around space, let alone morphing."
"This is bad," Skye thought to Alex and Spencer, "I don't know how much longer I can sustain my morph."
Skye lunged at Shawna, shooting a solid stream of flames at her the entire time, before flying out of her grasps and repeating the same technique.
Between her odd scream and winces at the pain she was experiencing, Shawna managed to warn Skye, "You're going to waste all of your energy, and when that happens, you will die!" She jumped into the air and grabbed a hold of Skye, pulling him to the ground.
There was a faint blast of flames as Skye reverted to his human form; Shawna still in her scorpion body.
"This will be easy Skye, you're a lot easier to kill when you're in a human form," she laughed as she squeezed Skye's throat with her claws. She was about the clamp her pincer closed when she was hit by a massive black ball of fire.
When she turned around Shawna was staring down the face of Alex who had morphed into his black dragon form.
"Still think you can take us, Bitch!" Alex spat, as he shot another stream of black flames at her.
As the massive scorpion turned to fight back, Spencer slammed his tail into her chest as hard as possible. Shawna didn't have time to react; she was slammed into the wall hard enough to dent the titanium metal plating. Then Skye suddenly saw his moment, she was engulfed in a crimson flash as she re-emerged in her human form panting.
Skye was fast, too fast; even though Shawna had been trained to react as quickly as physically possible she couldn't catch Skye's hand as he plunged his plasma sword into her chest, piercing her heart. There was a loud shriek, as it she began to bleed out. Her warm red blood ran down Skye's arm to the cuff of his t-shirt, as Shawna collapsed, her body went cold, she was dead.
"Becka, re-pressurize the bridge!" Skye gasped for breath, Alex and Spencer's human forms fell from the air as they lost their morph forms mid-flight.
"Aye," Becka's voice became distant as the hissing of the ventilation system kicked in.
The three boys managed to crawl towards each other as they passed out completely, leaving Becka to take care of the ship.
