Someone was trying to take me out. I felt it in my gut. I took up the rear in the battle so I knew it couldn't have been friendly fire. No one in the Mob has aim that bad, not even Glycerin. I got hit on the arm from behind. Whoever shot me must have aslo been the one who set those space mines out there. Someone was out to get me but I didn't have a clue who it was.

Re: A Woman Scorned
After the Mob retreated, Capt. Val'Kirin called back the squads. Nodding to the Com officer he faced the screen again. "Thunderian Ship, It was a pleasure to aide you. I look forward to meeting everyone on Bedlama. Captain Val'Kirin out"
He turned towards the ladies behind him. "Your Grace, Miss Heart, Looks like things have settled for now. Shall we continue on at our original speed?"
"By all means Captain. The bridge is yours" Zan said as she stood up and nodded to him. As she and Emily headed for the Lift, the doors opened and there stood Prince Marcus.
"Your Highness" Zan said with a bow.
"I missed the excitement didn't I?" he asked.
"I'm afraid so" She replied.
"Darn it! I always miss the good stuff." He crossed his arms over his chest and sighed.
Both her and Emily laughed.
"Don't worry, We'll tell you all about it Your Highness" Emily said.
"Promise Aunt Em?" He asked looking at her.
"We Promise" Zan said as she lead the way back into the lift.
During the rest of the ThuderCats' trip to Bedlama, I sat down to talk with Queen Lyna.
"So tell me what's happened since you left Thundera, Endora."
[For starters, I'm known as Whisper in this area. I lived on Fense when I first arrived here. For a while I ran an orphanage but we ran out of funds and we had to shut down.]
"Oh, how sad. What happened to all the children?"
[I did all I could for them, but most of them ended up running the streets to survive. After that I got a job as a waitress at a night club called [i]Lady's Choice[/i]. I worked there until I met Eliza.] I paused when I started to feel a pain in my heart. I still hadn't gotten over seeing her with Dragor that night.
"Endroa are you all right?" I tried to think of how to respond to her, but I burst into tears instead.

Re: A Woman Scorned
"Eliza is the friend Dragor hurt, isn't she?" I dried my tears and nodded.
[She was looking for a live-in babysitter for the child he gave her.] I signed. [Miserable bastard manipulated her into thinking he loves her. It's terrible.]
"By Jaga...what does your friend do?"
[Bounty hunter. I've been doing the same thing since Damian grew up.]
"Whoa!" the mutant cried. He was a strange-looking fellow with a few cybernetic implants. "Dragor has a son?!"
[You know sign language?] I asked.
"I grew up knowing it. My mom works with mutant children back home and there were a few who are deaf or mute." He extended his hand out to me. "The name's Weasel. Nice to meet ya." We shook hands. "So...Dragor has a son. Interesting."
[With the exception of looks, Damian is nothing like his father.]
"That's good to hear. How old is he now?"
[About a few years younger than Lady Lyna, I believe.]
"Weasel," Kit started. "You never did fully explain how you know Dragor."
"It's...complicated." he answered.
"Does this have to do with certain friends of yours?" Lyna asked.
"I...I promised Rakuna I wouldn't tell a soul. I'm sorry, but..."
"I understand. I shouldn't have pushed."
"Eh, it's okay."
"We're approaching Bedlama now." Kat announced. I looked out the window to see the planet.
"Won't you join us, Endora?" Lyna asked. "It would be great if you could stay for the treaty."
[There are a few dangers here, Your Highness.] I explained. [I may as well make certain you stay out of trouble. Just like old times.] It was then I noticed something around her neck. It was a loyalty necklace. I looked at her, and at the black panther male sitting next to her.
"Oh, I nearly forgot!" Lyna cried. "Endora, this is Stalker. My Consort-to-be."
"Hello." Stalker greeted. Hmm...a bit to muscular and huge to be a panther. "It's real nice to meet you, Endora."
I turned to Stalker. [Break her heart, and I'll break your hip.]
"Sorry, I don't know sign." Stalker replied. Lyna shook her head and repeated what I had signed. "Okay..."
[I assume he's a hybrid, like you?] I asked.
Lyna nodded. [Sort of.] she signed back. [He's half mutant.]
[I see...]

I got a surprise visit from Dragor one evening. He was looking pissed off and acting kind of edgy.
"What's wrong with you, Dray?"
"Someone's trying to take me out."
"So what else is new."
"No, baby, I'm serious. Someone shot me in the arm when we were attacking the ThuderCat ship."
"Attacking the ThuderCats? Why...?"
"Mon*Star's orders, my idea."
"But..."
"Where's that hairball girlfriend of yours?"
"I haven't seen her since right before dawn. And don't call her that."
"Hmmm...what a coincidence."
"Dray, are you trying to say that Whisper shot you? Why would she want to do that?"
"Cuz she hates my guts."
"Whisper has hated your guts for years. If she wanted to shoot you she would have done it long ago."
"Yeah...I guess your right. But I still don't trust her. Never did. She's too quiet."
"Well she can't help that. She's mute."
"No, that's not it. She's...sneaky."
"She is not! Endora is sweet and thoughtful! She's far from sneaky!"
"She's only that way when you're in the room. Remember that one time I told you she tried to jab me in the eye with one of her claws?"
"That's because you were teasing her."
"I didn't say a damned word to her! Anyway, I want you to keep an eye on the bitch. She's up to something."
"Dray, I'm not..."
"You know Liza, she might know about the two of us."
"What? But that's impossible! No one knows about that except for the two of us and I know I didn't tell her."
"Just watch her, baby. I know I will be."
I thought about what my lover said. Could it have been possible for Whisper to know what we had been doing behind her back? If so, who could have told her? Edited by: Detia1 at: 12/31/02 8:16:40 pm

Re: A Woman Scorned
It had taken months, but I finally did it. I acquired the final ingrident to my potion, and ultimately Dragor's doom. A drop of virgin's blood. I placed the blood in a bowl with one of the bastard's scales, which was found after he attacked Emmy. I used a mortar to ground up the scale, making certain the blood mixed in with the purple dust. Once that had happened, I placed the two ingridents in a cauldron filled with other ingridents, heated by my own flame. If all goes well, that saurian pervert will learn his lesson, big time. I know he'll get the death penalty for some of his past crimes, but it won't be enough for him to die. No...he had to suffer for what he did, and I was going to make sure he does so, no matter what the cost. As soon as everything was mixed, I began to chant.
Fires of vengence burn bright,
Let my pleas for retribution take flight.
He who has defiled my love, beware
For I shall handle your punishment with care.
As her nightmares drive her insane,
So shall you live out her pain.
Each night pass, your attack begins,
But here, you will pay for your sins.
So many victims, so little time,
When I am through, revenge will be mine.
Before your death, I end your blight,
This I swear upon this night!
The potion burns and glows. I'm taking a great risk brewing this, but I could think of no better retaliation. Once I get this into Dragor's system, he'll have a lot of trouble sleeping.
"Leo?" A knock at my door. I hide my potion, my key to revenge. The door opens; it's only Sapphire.
"Leo, what are you doing?" she asks.
"Oh, nothing." I lie. "Just thinking."
"Well, I got good news. There's a ship from New Eden docking, and there's someone I think you'll want to see."

Re: A Woman Scorned
I had sent ahead a short message that I was back in town and Em was with me. I told them I was getting the New Eden delegation to loan me a transport to visit Hawk Haven. I didn't tell anyone anything else. But since I was part of the delegation it meant I had to have an escort and couldn't pilot on my own. Protocols are a pain in the rear.
Thankfully I had convinced Marcus that I would see what I could do to introduce him to the various Hawks later on.
The transport had the Royal crest emblazoned along the side. A Star Cross and Crown. It landed smoothly and a moment later one of the pair of armed escorts was at the hatch and opening it. I glanced at Em and gave her a thumbs up and a soft chuckle. Both of which she returned.
Getting up from the seat I sigh and smooth out my shirt then run a hand though my hair. Thank the gods I didn't have to wear either a crown or a tiara. Though I did have a strand of silver, with a black opal and onyx teardrop hanging from the center of it, braided into my hair so it would cross my forehead.
Moving towards the now open Hatch I nodded to the escort and stepped out of the hatch. When I looked about the other escort was at the foot of the stairs. Then I noticed that just about ever Hawk that could make it down to the hanger was there. Their expressions ranged from stunned to surprised to unreadable. I descended to the bottom and turned to motion to Emily to join me.

Re: A Woman Scorned
Emily nervously wiped her hands on her pants. She could see from here that all the Hawks were there, and all were suprised to see Zan. She took a deep breath, and nodding tthe escort, she stepped out onto the ramp.
Was he... yes, there he was, with the rest of the Hawks, his eyes glued to her. She smiled, a genuine smile, and sent an empathic pulse of love to him as she joined Zan at the foot of the ramp.

Re: A Woman Scorned Emmy. I thought to her. I could feel her love envelop me. Oh, Goddess, she's healed so much. I'm so glad you're back.
It's good to be back, Lyore. she replies. I taught her how to communicate with others telepathically and she's one of the few people (outside my family, that is) who calls me by my Mykari name. I slowly approached her.
"Hey, Steel Lady, it's good to see you." I said.
"Same here, Magic Man." she replies. We just stared at each other, as if it were only the two of us. Well, it would be except for the loud bawling we started to hear.
"What is it with you and romantic moments?!" Seska yells to Chatterbox, who was all tears at the moment.
"Sorry, quedra." he said. "I'm just a hopeless romantic!" Then he continues sobbing.
"I see some things haven't changed." 'Heart remarked. She then proceeded to greet the other 'Hawks. I just hoped she didn't detect what rage I had left against Dragor; she might figure out my plans for revenge and stop me.
The conference was to begin that afternoon. Leo and I were going to be at the entrance of Bedlama City Hall to represent the Intergalactic Rainbow Coalition. We were told that Princess REgent Lyna was of mixed heritage so we figured she might want to know about the organization. We had just acquired a new member but he couldn't make it because sunlight is deadly to him. He did say that he would like to meet Lady Lyna someday if possible so I told him I would deliver his message. When Seymore arrived Leo and I got into the cab.
"Morning Lady Detia, Hotwing." We both greeted the cabbie. "Did you hear about this big conference they're supposed to be having on Bedlama?"
"Yeah. We're going to be there. Not as part of the conference, but for the IRC," Leo replied. I heard that this meeting should be pretty interesting. I hoped the MATI wouldn't interfere.
Edited by: Detia1 at: 12/31/02 8:20:07 pm
The day of the conference had come. I was very honored to be a part of Lady Lyna's enterage. It felt good to be surrounded by fellow ThunderCats. I hadn't actually seen one since I was captured with the others. It was devestating to watch them die before my eyes. Especially my mate, Panthro. I still have nightmares about what Gen-Ta did to me in front of him before he died.
All of us escorts entered Bedlama City armed and ready. After the Mob attacked the ThunderCats weren't taking any chances. We were to protect her Highness at all costs.

Re: A Woman Scorned
I sat at an outdoor table at one of my favorite coffee shops on Bedlama. Captain Val'Kirin and Prince Marcus was across from me, enjoying a small lunch and some tea. Our escorts were un-obtrusively keeping an eye on us as well as the people around us. I reflected back on events of the past day or so.
While I watched Emily & Leo were staring at each other, I glanced over the gathered SilverHawks. One caught my eye, though he seemed unaware of the fact. A bare hint of a smile touched my lips. I might have actual made a move to greet him, but Chatterbox's little show distracted everyone and I pulled back from making any move. Before that little event with Dragor I might have done something, the gods knows Emily had been subtly encouraging me. Afterwards, it just reminded me how scared I truly was.
One of the escorts leaned over to speak softly to me. "Your Grace, is that bird always like that?"
I chuckled softly and nodded. "Yes, this is just a mild display compared to some of the stuff he's done."
"I see…"
Before we could speak anymore, one of the pilots came down the ramp. "Your Grace, His Highness request your presence."
I turned to the pilot and nodded. "alright, Let the ship know I'm on my way back." Turning back to the gathering I moved towards Emily. I hoped the SilverHawks didn't hear how I was addressed. I got close enough to her that I could speak softly in her ear. "I have to head back, stay here and enjoy the reunion. Don't worry about having to be back, you can sit out on having to attend with me & Marcus." I patted her on the shoulder and headed back to the transport. My cape flaring behind me causing the Wolf of my Ducal seal to move and shift, as if it was alive.
My escorts followed behind, sealing the hatch after them. As I sat in my seat I looked out the window and watched as we left. I knew I was a coward for not saying anything, but I just can't take the chance of reopening old wounds.
"…do you think?" Marcus said.
"Huh?" I blinked refocusing to the here and now.
"Off daydreaming again Aunt Zan?" He said with an impish grin.
"Hush you." I quipped with a smile. "Now what were you saying?"
"I was talking about this conference. Is there a chance we'll be able to meet the Thundarian delegation?" Marcus said.
"There is a good chance your Highness" Capt. Val'Kirin said as he sipped his tea.
I just nodded in agreement. A commotion caught everyone's attention and all heads turned. It seems the ones we were speaking of was making their entrance. As I looked over the group, I arched an eyebrow. Excusing myself from the pair I stood and headed forward so that I was able to see the group better, one of the escorts following me as I did.
When I was within sight for the ThunderCats, I stopped and just stood there. I pitched my voice so that it would carry without shouting. "Whisper?"

Re: A Woman Scorned
What was Whisper doing with a group as important as the ThunderCats? I'll have to ask her when I get the chance. Other than Whisper, the group was pretty small. There were two elder Thunderians, I think they were twins. One of them looked like a caracal and was next to a weasel-like male with some robotic parts on his body. There was also this huge black panther man and he was walking right next to another female. She was dressed in a blue formal suit, wearing a necklace with a heart charm in the center. Her bright red hair was in a ponytail over the shoulder, which was secured by a replica of an exotic flower. Then my eyes fell to the waist of the woman, which had a crystal-like sword with a cat's eye at the hilt. I assumed that was the legendary Sword of Omens, and that woman was Queen Lyna. I guess the rumors were true; she does bear a striking resemblence to her late father Lord Lion-O. They started heading towards City Hall.
Re: A Woman Scorned
As we headed into City Hall I heard someone call my name. I turned and saw...Phantom? Yes, it was her, but she was dressed differently than what I was used to. You looked a bit surprised to see me too. I was wearing my ThunderCat outfit and had my insignia on my waist. I nodded to her to acknowledge that I had seen her and moved on with the others. I noticed a SilverHawk and another person were standing at the entrance. Turns out they were there to present Queen Lyna with some information about a speical organization called the Intergalactic Rainbow Coalition.
"If you'd like any more information, Your Highness, just contact me or Lady Detia. We'll be happy to answer any of your questions. Or you could visit the web site listed on the card." Queen Lyna thanked the SIlverHawk for the information. She had told me she was interested in the organization. I think I heard something about it from Damian.
When we entered Bedlama City Hall we were gretted by Governor Xander's secretary. There were also a few armed guards but they were told that we were coming. Soon we were all seated with Governor Xander and several other reprsentatives. Even Zan was there. After all formal intorductions were made, the proceedings began.

Re: A Woman Scorned
When we entered, I smiled at Lady Detia and told her I'd answer any questions she had later. It was fun watching both her and HotWings eyebrows reach their hairline when Capt. Val'Kirin requested permission to enter the conferance.
I sat back in my chair, my legs crossed and my hands steepeled under my chin. To my right sat Prince Marcus and on the other side of him sat Captain Val'Kirin. Behind each of our chairs stood an escort. I had managed to get them in with us.
After everything is over I want to speak with Whisper. It seems we both have a lot of catching up to do. I was surprised when I saw her with the 'Cats. Seems we were both hiding in plain site.
Glancing around I looked for Emily. I wasn't sure if she would be here today. She didn't have to be.
Re: A Woman Scorned
I explained to Zan that I used to be a ThunderCat before I came to Limbo. I didn't tell her all the horrors I went through to get here, but I did tell her that it was a long story that I didn't have time to tell. We also discussed other things.
[Remember when I told you I thought Eliza was seeing the Creep? Well, I saw her at The Basement like you said I would.] When I told Phantom what I was and heard she just shook her head. I didn't tell her I planned on getting revenge.

Re: A Woman Scorned
I learned from Phantom that Emily was doing very well since that beast attacked her. I told her to let Emily know that I'm glad to hear she's doing better.
Later on that evening I decided to introduce the ThunderCats to Damian. He didn't live to far from the hotel where we were staying. He had given me a high frequency device to use to summon him. It was on the same wavelength as his inner sonar. Like lesser bats, he uses echo location to find his way around in the dark. I stood on the baclony and activated the device. Moments later I could see him flying in the distance.
Re: A Woman Scorned
When Damian landed on the balcony he look concerned.
"Mama Kitty! Is this where you've been all along? Mum's been calling me all ngiht to see if I knew where you were! She's very worried."
[Tell her I'm fine, Damian. I'm just spending time with some friends from out of town. Would you like to meet them?]
"I'd love to!" I introduced Damian to all of the others. At first they seemd a bit wary of him, but I reassured them that Damian could be trusted. I noticed that he started to blush when I introduced him to Wily Kit. We sepnt some time talking about my life before coming to Limbo. I had plenty of stories to tell about my time taking care of Queen Lyna when she was young. I also told them what it was like to raise Damian. Everyone seemed to be warming up to Damian. Things did get kind of awkward when Weasel started asking him questions about his father, though. Damian didn't seem to mind answering them. When it was getting close to dawn, Damian headed back to his cave. Everyone else retired for the night but I stayed awake for a while. I had been trying to figure out how to carry out my revenge. I knew how to get Dragor but I still didn't know the location of his aerie. Who knew somone who I'd normally consider an enemy would help me with that one obstacle?

Re: A Woman Scorned
The operation was a complete success, and no one had dared to interfere. I waited paticently at Pterra's bedside for her to wake up. As she started to stir, my heart skipped a beat. I had loved Pterra since we hit puberty, but I never got the chance to tell her. As soon as she was up and about, she looked around, all confused. I would too if I had spent the last four years in cryogenic suspension.
"Where-where am I?" she asked. She then noticed her body. "My implants..."
"Gone." I explained. "They were removed and your body was repaired via genetic reconstruction." Pterra looked at me, all bedazzled.
"Rakuna, what happened? The last thing I recall is Thundera, and the explosion. Ursor..."
"Left you behind. He was a coward, Pterra. I tried to go back to you, but you were knocked into a coma."
"For how long?"
"Four years today."
"The battle..."
"We lost. Gen-Ta's disappeared, Mammoth's dead, Ursor's in jail (thank the gods) and the ThunderCats regained their world."
"You and Weasel survived."
"Yes, but at a price." I then explained to her the operation she just had. She seemed angry that I had her body tampered with without her consent. "It was the only way." I continued. "Your organics were deterorating at an alarming rate and you weren't showing any signs of waking up. I didn't want to lose you."
"Where are we now?"
"The only place this operation even exists; Limbo Galaxy, planet Bedlama."
"Are we settling here, Rakuna? We can't go back to Plunn-Dar."
"We'll settle someplace else. There's danger in this part of the universe."
"What kind of danger?" Just then, the doctor in charge of her came in.
"And how are we feeling today?" he asked.
"Much better, doctor." Pterra replied. "Thank you." Her wings then proceeded to grow out of her back. That was a normal trait for winged Saurians; their wings are stuck in their back and they practically grow out when needed. Pterra noticed the doctor looked a little uneasy. "What?" she asked. "Ever seen a Saurian stretch her wings before? Ooh, it feels good to have my real wings back rather than those metal ones I used to have."
"Yea, your wings are very healthy. It's just the way you grew them was just like Dragor." Oh, @#%$! I didn't want to tell her! Pterra turned white as a ghost the moment that bastard's name was mentioned.
"D-d-d-d-d-Dra....gor?" she stuttured. "He's...here? Oh, gods...."
"Pterra, calm down." I said. "I promised you he wouldn't touch you again, and I meant it."
"You...knew?"
"I swear, I had no idea until after we came. If I knew, I wouldn't have brought you. But don't worry, as soon as you're well, we'll leave before he even knows--" No luck. Pterra had completely lost it. It wasn't long before she bolted out of the hospital room. After giving that doctor a good piece of my mind, I started after her.
Re: A Woman Scorned
I normally sleep all day in my cave on Bedlama, but I woke up in the middle of the day for some reason. It wasn't long before I realized what had awakened me. I had an intruder in my home. I got up out of bed to go investigate. I certainly didn't expect to find a female Saurian in hospital clothes standing in my living room.
"Excuse me, but who are you and what are you doing here?"
When she turned and saw me she started to scream.
"Stay away from me!" I didn't have a clue who she was or why she was so afraid of me.
"Look, I'm not going to hurt you. If you're lost maybe I can help you find your way."
"I don't want your help, you sick pervert!" Sick pervert? It took me a moment to realize that this was a case of mistaken identity. I figured she must think I'm my father. This has happened before.
"Look, I'm not Dragor, if that's what you're thinking."
