The Onyx Incident - Updates
Jan. 25th, 2010 04:41 pmBen wished there was something stronger than coffee and weaker than Captain Morgans. Standing in front of him was a parade of women, all sheepish and in various states of disarray.
First, there was Shayera Hol, the perpetrator in this little charade. Oh sure she and Ben had a lot of history, but whenever Shayera was involved, your daily intake of violence increased exponentially with your daily supply of pacifism quickly run dry. She seemed to still be half drunk, but grinning widely.
To her left was Matsumoto Rangiku. The busty woman wore a tight shirt and jeans, but they were shredded half off her and Ben tried not to stare at her “twins” that were barely covered by the mangled t-shirt. She sported a few bruises but otherwise in complete control of her facilities.
To her right was the aged if beautiful Fifth Hokage of the Leaf, Tsunade. She was STILL clutching a bottle of sake in her hands and was offering a saucer to the next one in the line up.
Subaru Nakajima, the usually clean-cut young Front Line Attacker was grinning as she nursed a drink. Her arm was sparking but that was the extent of her damaged state. She took the drink offered to her by Tsunade and her eyes were alight with amusement, flushed with adrenaline. Leaning on her arm was the equally messed up and usually clean cut Teana Lanster, the girl sporting her arm in a sling.
To the left of them all was his own cousin, Gwen Tennyson who looked messy but alive with a stain that smelled like old boots down her front, a result of the incident that had lead up to this insanity. She was nursing a bump on her head and leaning onto the other girl in the line up.
Karone of KO-35, a long time friend of the group was the best off, her outfit almost immaculate save for the ragged appearance of her hair and missing a boot. Her other arm was slung around Elena, the tall woman still grinning widely at Ben’s discomfort at the whole situation.
Finally, there was Dinah Lance, Black Canary. She was snoozing already standing up, having passed out before the interrogation had begun but was nudged awake by a prod from Tsunade.
“All right,” said Ben, trying to focus on the situation at hand. “For the sake of the, and I quote, “Formal Complaint of Destruction of Property from the Planet Onyx”, I need to ask three questions: How, When, and most importantly WHY?!”
Everyone looked at Shayera who said, “It was my idea.”
Ben’s expression fell as he started to beat his head on the desk. This was going to be the worst debriefing in the history of mankind as Shayera started in on the tale.

“I still don’t know about this,” said Gwen for the umpteenth time as the green-and-black landed. “Shouldn’t we be more worried that we borrowed Ship for a drink on Onyx, the biggest hive of scum and villainy in the known galaxy?”
“You’d rather we tell Julie that we went without her?” replied Shayera as she unbuckled her seatbelt. “You know how she hates to miss out on these things.”
“True. But the TSAB’s working her overtime lately since she became the official Earth Ambassador, something I staunchly refused to become.” remarked Gwen. “Speaking of which, HOW in the world did you two get roped into this?”
Teana offered a weak grin and Subaru giggled a little. “Shayera can be very persuasive,” remarked the blue-haired girl.
“And she’s scarier than Nanoha if that’s to be believed,” added Teana in a low sotto voice. “Nanoha’s ‘befriendings’ hurt less than the mace.”
“Oh come on Gwen, lighten up,” said Dinah as she stepped towards the open hatch, followed by Tsunade who was already relishing the thought of getting away from the Dreaded Paperwork. “It’s not like we’ve got the boys to worry about.”
“True.” Said Gwen as she was followed by Karone who inhaled sharply the air of Onyx.
“Aaah Onyx, I love this town,” sighed Karone wistfully. “I spent a lot of time here as Astronema.”
“You probably got half your goon squad from here too,” remarked Elena with a snicker and Karone only smirked in reply. “Maybe you should go see if your brother left the cloak here.”
“He did,” replied Karone. “But I lost that cloak in a bar brawl when Trakeena was here.”
“So this is Onyx huh?” remarked the last member of their party, the very busty Matsumoto Rangiku. “I think I’m going to like it here. Seems like a real party house.”
Just then a body came smashing through a glass window and went rolling. The owner of said body stood up, and yelled, “Your momma!” and immediately scampered away from a small stampede of alien thugs.
“Yep, real classy,” remarked Gwen as Shayera brushed by her, intent on getting a drink from said broken window building.
The bartender looked up, cocking an eyebrow at the women that stepped in, and paled slightly when he saw the blonde in the line up dressed in leathers. “Oh sajnt no,” he groaned as he saw Karone. “You left my bar in disarray last time you were here!”
“Nice to see you again Phobos,” replied Karone with a smirk. The heavyset reptile-alien sighed. “What, surprised to see me out and about?”
“I thought you went with those Erenagr,” replied Phobos, rubbing his head. “Haven’t heard from you and galactic society since.”
“Erenagr?” inquired Teana lowly to Gwen.
“Rangers. It’s sort of a derogatory word for them, but it means the same thing. Used by a lot of intergalactic thugs.” Replied Gwen. “I heard it once in a while when on deep space plumber missions.”
“I’ve been keeping busy, but I wouldn’t let the entire populace know we’re here for anything more than a drink,” replied Karone with a smirk, brushing her cloak aside and showing off the Quasar Saber that hung at her belt.
“Right. What can I get for you all?”
“Strongest you can muster,” said Shayera and Phobos paled even further. “What?”
“Djvat, I know you! You’re one of the Justice League! Shayera Hol. Your name rings in every bar from here to Phazon Seven.” Exclaimed Phobos. “What the hell…?” Looking at Karone who simply smirked, he sighed. “Right. Several Tamarian Exploders coming up.”
“Sounds classy,” remarked Dinah as she sidled up to the bar and started to look through the paltry menu of other items on the bar’s menu. She noticed several of the bar patrons look away immediately and she smirked. “Ten to one we’ll get into a bar fight?”
“It’s tradition,” replied Elena as she took her drink, drank it down and coughed. “Wow…”
“Wait for it,” said Gwen and Elena looked at her curiously – a moment before she let out a rip-roaring belch. “Lots of power packed into a Exploder.”
Elena coughed. “No kidding. Feels good though.”
Subaru whistled as she took a sip of her drink followed by another one. A low rumble bubbled in the woman’s chest and she let out a belch. “WHOOF!”
“And they say guys are crude,” smirked Tsunade as she drank the whole thing down. The belch she let out shook the glass and she wiped her lips daintily.
“If you ladies destroy my glassware, there’ll be a tab to pick up,” warned Phobos.
“You shouldn’t have given us Exploders,” stated Teana, taking a drink of her own.
“Point taken,” replied Phobos with a lazy shrug. “Belkan Rum then.”
“Year?” inquired Subaru, suddenly interested.
“A.C. 202,” replied Phobos and Subaru let out a whistle. “Yep, pretty old. Seriously old to be honest, and it’s probably the most expensive thing I have here.”
“Can we even afford that?” inquired Teana, thinking of the delicious rum that sat before them.
“I’ve got it covered,” said Gwen, putting down a Talent. “Negi owed me a favour.”
Phobos whistled at the gold-covered bar. “A talent? You girls certainly are packing some serious money. I don’t even have enough change to cover that.”
“Keep it,” replied Gwen. “Our little combat wombat in the TSAB attends the yearly tournaments on Magica Mundus.”
“And wins, no thanks to us,” smirked Tsunade. “Speaking of the half-pint, how’s his relationship going?”
Elena snickered. “Better, now that he and Nanoha finally told their respective Fate’s.”
“I still can’t believe a powerful yay les was broken up into a foursome,” remarked Shayera thoughtfully. “Fate and Nanoha have it bad for each other, it’s shocking that they let Uncle Negi and Uncle Fate join in.”
“Now all we need to do is fix Yuuno up with someone and we’ll be set,” stated Dinah, eyeing Subaru and Teana.
Teana flushed. “H-hey! I’ve only got eyes for Subaru anyhow!”
“And the physics of this world says that OT3 or more works better than straight yay les,” stated Rangiku, smirking widely. The pair of TSAB members blushed crimson.
