A light could be seen off in the night sky. Like a shooting star, but somewhat different from the rest. Summer pondered as she sat at the top of a tree. It came closer and closer, and she soon realized that it was one of her home planets ships "Oi!" She said waving her arms. She bent her knee's and jumped into the air, flying high, trying to catch the attention. "I'm over here!" She yelled again.
The ship slowed down, and then hovered in the air. It was massive, and it seemed to be made of completely natural material. A hissing sound was heard, as the top hatch opened, and a cocoon, of vines and flowers elevated into the air, from the ship. It opened to reveal a sixteen year old, with tight yellow shorts, and a short mid drift exposing shirt with a bee embroidered into it. Her hair was long, and loose curl, with a lighter brown hue, almost blond, with darkened brown highlights. Two wings resembling either a wasp or a some kind of species of bee protruded from her back. They began to beat rapidly, and a buzzing sound was heard, as she lifted off the space ship garden elevator. "Summer?" a familiar voice asked.
"B? Is that you!" Summer said smiling, her vibrant wings growing more colorful with her excitement. She flew over to her old friend, and she hugged her with all her strength. She released her grip, and she placed her hands on her shoulders "It is so good to see a fellow citizen from our home planet..." Summer began to cry. "I thought I would never see anyone again..." Summer buried her face into her hands, and continued to sob.
B smiled "don't worry..." she hugged her gently. "We need you home, I am only on leave for six months...." she smiled weakly this time, trying to cover her grief. "It isn't good back home, you know?" She turned, her wings slowing down, and she landed on the top of the ship. "An alien race has threatened to attack home, and destroy every bit of our home. They are greatly advance in technology, we need you home, to pray to the great tree, to grant strength to our soldiers. Not only will it boost their morale. You are the only one who can...." She stopped to see Summers reaction.
Summer stopped sobbing "I don't know, I don't think that I am the coming of the great prophecy, this is all wierd... Living here for so long, and I don't know if my connection to our world is still there, I feel my power being drained everyday." She sobbed "I have to resort to consuming larger, and larger amounts of sugar every day, just to absorb, the sunlight... please tell me you have seeds, or a root from home, just so I can taste our home planet once again..."
B smiled, and pulled a legendary fruit out of her pocket. "This fruit... it is one of the last, but I think you will need it more than I. It is said that you will be connected to the planet once again. There are only a few servings, which means, that you can bring some of your friends with you. I hear that there are immensely powerful beings here, and we could use all the help we get."
Summer smiled "Alright, lets go!" she grabbed B's hand, and they flew into the ship. Once inside, they were then seated, and buckled, and Summer set course to Miko's place. They arrived in a matter of a split second. B, and Summer landed just on the outside of his place, and they went in.
"Oi, Miko, I have a proposition for you!" Summer began explaining all what happened, and how they needed his help. "We will need a few more people, just a few more, they all need to eat a piece of the fruit." Summer pulled out the fruit, and showed it to Miko "It is one of the rare fruits of our planet. Please we must hurry..."

Orange wisps of smoke began to appear all around the gathered triad, giving off the scent of rich insense and the finely cooked meat of a rare animal. The seemingly living wisps began to gather behind the pair of winged girls and circled. An orange whirlwind was created that compounded upon itself, forming a human shape. The orange faded into the color of the figure it had created. Formal black garb, long black hair, and steely green eyes appeared quickly on the figure, giving away who had suddenly arrived. Valon Lorsha, the king of dragons.
"Well well. It seems you two have run into some trouble now, eh? I've been out of the game for some time but I'm sure that this could be a good reopener to my career of being a world protector. Fill me in on what exactly is going on, what we're facing, and when we leave. I could use a good exercise." Valon laughed slightly as he popped his knuckles.
Valon glanced across the room and caught sight of someone he had not seen in quite some time. There was much conflict in the past between Valon and Miko, and there was still a deep tention whenever they came face to face. Not wanting to be a rude Valon bowed slightly and tilted his chin up slightly.
"Miko...Long time no see. Life been treating you well?" Valon asked lightly.
OOC-Sorry for post length, but I'm getting tired and there's nothing much I can do without Lee in here.

Summer nodded "My name is Summer and we are from the planet Aretpodilepelia, a planet run by nature... completley... We have weapons, but we are heading into a full scale war, with a race unknown to our planet." Summer shook with grief and anger "I am the heir to the throne of our home planet, and I am stuck here, but B here, came and now we can head back to my home planet, and hopefully save it from utter destruction!"
Summer placed a finger on the fruit, and she ran it down the side, a small chunk came out of it, and she popped it in her mouth. She began to radiate with extreme energy, very, very powerful, she lifted off the ground slightly, as if the gravity was lessening on her. She looked at Valon, her eyes growing green "This is the power of the fruit" she landed on the ground, and the power began to go back underneath the surface. "Here..." she said to Valon "You must be connected to our planet in order to be at full strength" She said pointing to the peace of fruit in Valon's hands "That fruit will connect you to the planet, and you can achieve great power when you step on just the surface, otherwise if you don't connect our 'Mother Nature' will sap your energy until you are dead...." She sighed "It isn't to visitor friendly...." "But" she said with grief "If given the right technology, you can block the planets sapping processes."
B hopped in "In case you were wondering, the people born on the planet, will actually feed off of the limitless energy given by the planet, we get a reverse reaction then the invaders. Even though..." she said sadly "We cannot fight with hope, they seem to have a mole in our planet, who has discovered the technique of our planet, which means they will develop some kind of machine to feed off of the energy as well." B shook her head "That is why we need people, to help search for the mole, and to help fight in the war, we will be in the front lines, Summer, and I will be leading the front, and the whole army." B looked up at Miko, and Valon "Please, if you are powerful warriors, we will need your help to defeat the enemy."
OOC: Now we just need more people to join, or LEE to post.

Diamond pulled her ship in beside the strange white vessel. "Well I'll be damned, it looks like a bigass cocoon." She said, opening the hatch of her ship and jumping onto the surface of the strange furrey vessel. She gave it a good kick, but it didn't even ring metallically. "Jeez, a nice kind of technolegy, but its more purpose based than aesthetic, doesn't even look nice..." She muttered, walking from front to back and failing to find anything that looked like a bridge, living quarters, or engines. "Argh! I guess I'll just wait for the owner to get back and ask em bout it then."

B looked behind her, and noticed a woman standing on her ship. Her wings began to buzz furiously as she lifted off the ground, and flew out of the house. "Excuse me, what do you think that you are doing to my ship? It took my a very long time to build that, a whole days worth!" She landed, her wings still beating, slightly.

Miko examined the fruit curiously, probing at it with residual jade magics. It seemed to respond favorably to the magic, meaning that he probably could manipulate the vegetation on that world as well as he could on this one, if he simply familiarized himself with it. He did have a few questions, but those could wait. He, as a summoner, had duty to protect anybody who was part of the alliance, even if it meant running into an inopportune situation. He'd have to wait a little while to figure out who would take over the Summoners in his absense, but he had a strong feeling that between Vathale, Cobra, and Haze, there wouldn't be any problems that they couldn't handle.
"Eh, it's been busy, but rather peaceful in the sense that we haven't had to deal with much in the way of violence. The only problems I've had recently come from squabbles between Joseph and Hector, and a few other minor issues with who gets what room and such." Miko said, still distracted by looking into the fruit. He was baffled by the fruit's energy. Would the planet be compatible with his summons? Bagan was especially worrisome. The creature was a well of green manna, essentially, and because of this, it'd either be in its prime on the nature planet, or would be instantly sucked up and destroyed by the planet's effect. He definately needed to figure out the deal with the situation before he could give a clear verdict.

Nick looked through his telescope at the sky. In the middle of the day. But that wasn't the point. Some of his high sensitivity instruments had picked up a non-metallic, non-terran vessel approaching and descending to Earth, and the alchemist was curious. For the time, he contented himself with looking for the object with his telescope. Which, by the way, was one of those observatory sized telescopes proped on the rotating dome on top of his house.
"Ahah!" he exclaimed as he saw the seeminly squishy organic ship. As soon as he did a couple calculations in his head to figure out where it was, he jumped out of his window, landed lightly 5 stories down, then ran down the grassy hill that his house was built on. With his modified legs, he reached the edge of the city in three minutes, where he jumped onto the rooftops and started leaping across them to avoid hitting people.
Exactly 24.091437 minutes later, Nick slowed down a few hundred yards away from Miko's house. He stared at the cacoon-like plant ship, mouth obviously opened in awe. He wanted to touch it, to take samples, etc, but knew that would probably be rude. So he started walking for the house, seeing what could probably the owner of the ship.
As he walked, the alchemist realized just how thirsty his organic body had become from running the distance. Without stopping, Nick grabbed a clump of grass and let his nanites flow into it. Any bacteria or any other lifeforms were safely carried out by several thousand nanites and dropped onto the ground again, the other million or so nanites working on breaking down the soil. In his mind, Nick restructured the atoms that his nanites told him was in there, broke down unneeded ones into protons and neutrons, then resynthesized needed ones from the broken down parts.
To an outsider of his mind, the clump of soil looked like it had been enveloped in a fluid silverish substance, out of which bugs and worms fell out of for the first few seconds, then it slowly reshaped itself into a bottle like object. Several more seconds later, the silverish stuff retreated back into the alchemist's gloved hand, revealing a nalgene bottle filled with water and the various dissolved minerals that made it taste good. Nick took a sip, then waved to the group of people.
Nick had also modified his ears to hear better; thus, he'd picked up part of the conversation while approaching. He didn't hear much, other than going to another planet and invading somethings. That would be great if I could go! The things I'd be able to learn! But what a shame it would be if it were to be destroyed... he thought to himself.
"Hi, I couldn't help but overhear some of your conversation about going to another planet and such. I was wondering perhaps if I could accompany you to your planet for scientific research research, and probably to help your people defend itself." He took another casual sip from his new nalgene bottle.

Summer turned "Yes, of course, here, in order to go you must eat a slice of this fruit." She smiled, as she used the same tactic to slice into the fruit. She handed it to the alchemist "This will enhance all your powers on our planet, and it will also keep you from being eaten by the planet its self. It is risky, unless you eat the fruit, but you could observe our planet. As long as it is nature safe" Summer said hastily.

Miko quickly removed three sections of the fruit, tucking them away. He'd feed his summons them when they got to the planet. That would ensure safety without causing any delays. Until then, he had to organize things. Producing a pencil and paper, he quickly jotted down instructions for the Summoners to use during his leave of absense. Just typical governing matters, his calls on several important issues and laws that were plaguing the Summoners at the time, and other such stuff.
He quickly grabbed a few rings off the table, pocketing them or sliding them onto his fingers. If he was going to war, he'd be nothing if not well-prepared. He gave a quick mental survey of the home's status, and then looked to Summer. "How long will this be?"

"Alright, the fruit I'll eat then... " Nick replied. He pulled out a fork from his pocket and approached Summer and her fruit. Hesitantly, he scooped out a bite sized piece then raised it to his mouth. It was literally in his mouth, his lips about to close around it, when he remembered something and pulled it out again. The scientist poked the fruit with his other hand, letting a few nanites in to examine the structure of the fruit and find out its composition so he had a starting point when he got to the new planet. Surprisingly, it was very similar to Terran fruits. A moment later, he was finished, then ate the fruit. It was sweet, and that was good.

"We will be gone for a while" Summer pondered, "The days are longer there, it is wierd, I should be actually older then I am now, but since your days are wierd, and your gravity, it has kept me younger, and more beautiful...." Summer smiled "Earth, the cos planet!"
Summer finally noticed that B wasn't anywhere in sight. "Now... where is she..." Looking outside the door, she noticed that she was near the ship. "Oi!" She said catching her attention "We will be leaving soon, prepare the ship."
"Yes Ma'am!" B said jumping in, and soon a whooring sound was heard. "We are ready for take off, as soon as everyone hops on board.

OOC: hah! my 1337th post!
BIC: Nick approached the ship, taking in the beauty of its carefully crafted organic structure. He walked once around it, feeling the crawling vines and the few flowers, wondering how it could withstand travel through space. He made a mental note to figure that out after they fended off the invaders, then went inside the ship.

Miko nodded, and gave one final look towards home. He didn't need to worry, but he certainly would be missing everybody in that house. Joseph, Helen, Vathale, Summer, Cobra, Haze... espescially Haze, the woman who had been by his side for years, his loyal wife. She really was his other half, providing her input on all of his choices and decisions. They really ahad grown accustomed to working as a team, and they'd have to be away from each other for a long time. Miko sighed slightly. He'd even miss the disruptive, disrespectful pervert, Hector Cruz.
Miko stepped into the ship, digging his fingers into the luscious vegetation. He felt the flow of its life, the "heartbeat" of the vegetation, so to speak. He read it like a book, learning all he could from it and about it while he waited for takeoff.

B smiled "Everybody seated? If you are then we are ready for take off!" She sat down, and inserted her hands into two octogonal holes. Suddenly the ship spurred to life, lights could be seen under the think layer of webs, and things, to show that it was covered for the plant/machines sake, to protect it from harm.
The ship lifted off the ground, and a force pushed it towards the sky. Oddly no flames began to form around it, because the ultra slick surface, and what appeared to be a shield, caused the friction to decrease to almost nothing. After a few minutes they finally broke earths atmosphere, vegetation lifted at its own will to reveal a glassy structure of the ship, so that people could see the outside. "Everyone hold on, we are going to go into hyper-drive, or atleast what you humans call it" Summer yelled.
Preparing herself, Summer placed a hand, and vines wrapped tightly around each of the people in the ship. "3..." she said pressing her self back in the cushioned vegetation seat. "2..." she said a second later "hold on...." "1!" she screamed and slammed her fist down, and time froze for a second, and it was quiet.
Then suddenly everything seemed to move again, and people could regain the breath they lost. "We are almost there, we are in our own universe, now, you have to wait for us to get to our own planet... it will take several hours, so just sit and talk amongst your self, if you are going to be our planets saviours then you must get to know each other, no?"

OOC: Sorry. Thought it had been abandoned. BIC: Miko was rather impressed with the plant's abilities. It was a grown ship, and yet it still matched most modern ones in capability. He continued reading it like a book.
"Fascinating craft that you have here... To anybody who doesn't know me, well, you should have heard of me. I get negative press on CNN almost all the time. Miko, King of the South Pole Summoners."

Bee looked at Miko puzzled "No, we don't get very much news from earth to our planet, just what Summer gave to us as feedback..."
Summer blushed "I kind of haven't given you guys any at all..." she laughed off her nervousness and looked out to the stars. "Father..." she said sighing "I will be there soon"
Bee looked at summer cautiously and then snapped back to reality "Hungry Anyone?"
OOC: Basically this is a time to chill, and let our char. get a chance to know each other... something that lacks in rp's I think.

"Nick Taruic, alchemist. People call me eccentric, but I don't believe them," Nick laughed, genuinely thinking he was sane in every sense of the word.
"Ah, yes, Miko. I don't get the news coverage you do, but you may occasionally recognize my house on the television when something explodes. But I would love to know how those summoning beads work. Always wanted to know when I saw that giant octopus thing on Wikipedia's article of the day."

As time progressed the crew got to know each other a little better, and then Bee interupted "We are only a few minutes away from home, quickly now, get everything ready before landing, because I don't know how much time we will have before we have to fight."
Summer smiled "I can feel myself getting stronger as we near our homeplanet Bee! I do wish for me to be as strong as my father one day."
Bee smiled "You will be, don't worry."
The planets shape came into focus, it looked very much like earth, except for the much larger vegetation then earth would ever think of. They crept closer and entered Summers planets atomoshphere. The tree's were much higher the ones here, there trunks large and strong. The fruits were larger too, full of luscious nutrients and minerals, mouths would water just seeing them.
The ship landed and the hatch opened. Summer exited the ship, and her people seen her. They rejoiced suddenly and they fell to their knee's.
Her people were and assortment of insectoid/humanoid people. Some were like bee, and some were beatle like, fly like, and it went on from there, but only the butterfly like structure is in the royal family. That is a trait that makes summer so beautiful, is her wings, and her natural caring nature for her people.
The gravity is lighter here and it made it much easier for summer to fly. She jumped and her wings carried her into the sky. "My people, I have returned... let no one invade the great planet of Aretpodilepelia."
The crowd screamed with joy as Summer once again nimbly landed on the ground.
Bee smiled "Lets go and see your family."
"Yes lets" Summer said smiling "Lets go guys... you'll love them."
