[Titanic X 21]

Spray - Doc, Aeris, Finn, Lightning, Streak

"Hold on! Just what is going on here?" Spray asked. "I mean, first those cars attack us, then I find this..." He dumped out the aluminum tip as he said that. "...next thing we know there are two d*** moons in the sky, and some strange rhyme?"

He was now getting antsy, and his ailerons twitched, a subtle clue that he was getting a gut feeling, even if he didn't know what it was. "And how does this tie in to some vintage car that Doc saw?"

"Not to mention said car was observing us," Horah remarked as he came up beside them, his blue eyes locked onto the twin moons. "I picked him up on my radar, but by the time I noticed him, he was gone. Shadow said that he was from the 1920s, at best."

Spray growled in frustration. "Just what are we dealing with here?" he asked, gathering up the aluminum pyramid. He had no idea why he was hanging onto it; it was just some fake, right?

{Super short post for Rush, but I ran out of ideas...}

Streak - Tags: Finn, Spray, Doc, Aeris

"Even if it were in my homeworld it would be bizzare," Streak agreed, constantly flicking his ears here and there in nervousness. He indeed didn't know who this Axlerod figure was, so the name brought no fear or uncertainty. Still... a terrorist was a terrorist. Streak had heard about assasin dragons being sent out from his side in the war, but he knew very little of them. However, he knew one thing: That they never worked together. In his mind he could only imagine this happening in his world... never, ever here. It scared him more than anything else; that what he might have left was coming back.

Otter - Tags: Blade

Otter listened patiently. Often times he felt horrible for being so uncompasionate about Pike's death. The F-18 hadn't actually seen, or even heard, the moment when his fellow soldier and friend had taken his last breath. Otter had heard that Pike had died a few hours after the accident. To him, it was in a way less of a reality that Pike was dead. It stung, especially at first, but it was more like mentally Pike had simply left the squadron rather than actually died.

When he recieved the oil, at first he hardly noticed it. Luka was the one to signal to him that it was even there. "You know, I don't think those feeling ever will go away. I like to think of it as a sharp stone that was tossed into a river. It starts out sharp, but as it goes it smooths down. It's still there, and it's still painful, but it's something that you can live with." He paused, voice dropping low and soft, "It'll never go away, but it's at least somewhat tolerable now, am I correct?"

Rush - Tags: Oskar, Skipper, Shinn

The Corsair nodded, "You don't deserve the way people like myself treat you. You don't have to thank me."

Doc - Finn, Spray, Streak, Lightning, Aeris

Doc nodded. "That's fine." He replied before he felt his fuel line freeze at the name of the car Finn had mentioned. "Hold on! THE Miles Axlerod?!" The Hudson Hornet exclaimed in shock and barely concealed rage. "The one behind the Allinol scam?!" Oh, he knew of that car alright. It was because of him that Lightning and Mater nearly died, twice! "Why are they sending that junk heap here?!" Doc wasn't so sure he would be able to keep his rage in check if he saw the Range Rover.

Taking a deep breath, the Hornet was able to calm himself somewhat. "Okay...But I don't think I will be able to keep myself from harming him. Not after what he did to Lightning..." Doc sighed. But, as far as information was concerned, perhaps Axlerod had some leads that could be of use. "If I attempt to do something crazy to him, stop me."

Shinn - Rush, Skipper, Oskar

Shinn nodded. "Agreed. Even my grandfather, who was a MIG, never saw any thing like that before. I haven't either, and I have been in some strange areas of the world, mainly the Mid-East and the Pacific." The MIG mix added. "This is all beginning to make me uneasy, and MIGs don't scare that easy."

He looked back up at the moons again. "D*** moon...Why in the world is this happening?!"

Shadow had turned to watch the spectacle of the two moons when Dusty had pointed it out, her own eyes widening here, and her mouth dropping open. What was happening????? It was getting more and more odd.... and she didn't like it. She watched others reactions, too worried to approach anyone. This was odd. And terrifying. Sue wanted to approach Finn and the others but..... everyone would have been just as worried she reckoned. She kept to herself until Dusty crept toward her again, resuming a calm collected exterior, in order to make him feel better.

"Hey, it'll be ok. I know your scared, but that's to be expected..." She murmured to him, pulling up next to him, being closer than normal, which for her, made her feel slightly excited, before remembering what was actually going on.

"It must be what they meant by the blue and red.... but it's ok.... it will be fine. We'll get to the bottom of this...." She assured him, her tone confident.

Blade - Tags: Otter

Blade frowned slightly, a look of sadness in his features. "Yea... It's easier... But in a way, that kind of scares me too. Should it be ok? I think it's good that... It doesn't fully leave. I don't want it to. But at the same time... Maybe it's just a case of time heals all wounds. I don't know...." He thought about Nick... How confident he was, and how'd he'd really helped Blade come out of his shell. He decided he needed to talk about something else, so he changed the topic slightly, shoving Nick away.

"So I'm sure you probably told me this already, but that girl who stopped talking to you after Pike died... You liked her?" Blade inquired. "She uh... Someone special to you?"

Finn -Tags: Aero, Aeris, Streak, Doc, Spray

"I would urge you not to harm him!" Finn cut in. "I know he's not the most popular car in the world, I know, but we can't harm him! I'd have to arrest you and treat you the same I'm treating him I'm afraid if you did that. He's got rights, even as a prisoner. He's already been sentenced, so please respect that." Finn cautioned Doc. "Believe me... I'm not happy about him coming here either, but they're telling me they're talking all precautions. I just have to abide by this. I'm not asking anyone to like it, but I AM asking you to respect his rights."

He heard Spray speculating, and spread his front wheels in a sort of shrug. "I wish I knew. And you mentioned a car from the 1920s? That may make it easier or harder, as vintages can be harder to track down. Also since none of you got a look at him.., he could've been using false tires, or a holographic disguise. Thing is, we just don't know... But hold on..." He paused as he got in a new transmission. He was feeding these conversations back to station HQ, and they were sending him relevant updates. "It appears Axlerod has pertinent information relating to this topic." Finn chimed in. "I'm unsure how, but we're going to find out."

Feeling he was neglecting his son, the Aston Martin hybrid turned to face Aeris, noting how uneasy he looked. "You holding up OK? Sorry I haven't had much time... I'm just very busy, but I want to make time for you... Maybe tonight?" He asked. "I could... Buy you dinner? Heck that won't be too long from now."' He commented. "Would you like that?"

Oskar and Skipper - Tags: Shinn, Rush

"No but... All the same, thank you. I really do appreciate your gesture. It meant a lot to me." He nodded at Shinn's words. "Yes well... I am uneasy too." He confessed. "I feel anxious... Like I need to go flying or get a drink or something... Something to get my mind off this stuff!" He insisted. "Herr Skipper, Herr Rush... And I'm sorry I didn't get your name..." He looked at Shinn. "Would you allow me to buy you all a round?" He inquired, trying his best to put a smile on his face.

Skipper said nothing at first, but looked at Rush, as if expecting him to speak first.

Dusty - Tags: Shadow

Dusty felt calmer with her so close to him... And noticed with trepidation that the others had moved on. "Yea..." He murmured in response to her scared comment. "I just... I never experienced anything like this. It's so uncertain! Like no one, including myself, is knowing what's going to happen next. I just... I don't know how to feel." He admitted. "I'm sure you know the UFO nuts are going well... Nuts." Dusty added, rolling his eyes. She said they'd get to the bottom of it, and he nodded. "All right..." He responded softly. "You really think you can?"

Close ups of the new moon were being shown on the TVs now, and Dusty moved his mouth, his lips mashing against each other in a thoughtful manner. "So... Uh... Do you... Do you need to get back to work something?" He realized that might come out the wrong way, so he quickly added "just because I feel like I need to... Get some air or something. Would you want to... Come with?" Probably sounded more hopeful than he intended, and he winced, closing his eyes as he waited for her response.

Shinn - Rush, Skipper, Oskar

Shinn smirked. "Name's Shinn Machwing. Sorry about not introducing myself earlier." He replied before he nodded. "And yeah, that sounds like a good idea." He hoped it would get his mind off of things himself. After all, it wasn't easy to forget that moon up there.

Doc - Finn, Aeris, Spray, Streak, Lightning, Aero

Doc sighed at Finn's warning. "Okay... I can do that. But if he tries anything funny, I will not hesitate to act. I nearly lost Lightning to him twice, so don't expect me to treat him cordially, understand?" The Hornet growled back. His scar throbbed with pain again, making him hiss at the feeling. "D***, that hurts..." As much as he hated to admit it, he found himself wishing the FBI had been able to replace his Hornet symbol on his rear.

He then looked back at Lightning, nudging the racecar. "Kid? Hey, wake up!" Doc said in a gentle voice. He nudged the red racer with a tire, trying wake him from his faint.

She smiled slightly at his observation of not knowing what was going to happen. It reminded her of her own past, when she didn't know.... but it had turned out well so far. "Oh Dusty... No one really knows how anything will turn out, you can hope, but it's never certain. But what I CAN say, is that i KNOW we will get to the bottom of this.... No matter what" She assured him again, giving him another smile. She stayed next to him, pursing her lips as he asked about her work, to which she glanced toward Finn, who seemed to be more than happy getting on without her. She knew he was a great agent, and he would have plenty more mission partners after her, and thats if he even chose to have one.... not like he needed it. But still, it was still nice to feel.... needed. She shook her hood here.

"To be honest, there's not much more i can do here i dont think. I could ID a few more cars, but that wouldn't tell us a huge amount. But.... I would love to join you, yes" She said here, looking up to him again, and moving onward a little, looking up at the moons again, a chill running through her. "I need to stretch my tires you know..... I haven't burnt rubber in a while, maybe we could have a lil' race? Clear our heads?" SHe said here, winking at him

((Did you forget about Lightning again? Doc's trying to wake him up you know...))

Doc - Lightning

Doc sighed as he moved away from Lightning. The kid was too out of it to be woken up from his faint. Then again, he had just seen him come back into his life after being told he was supposedly dead. Still, the kid should have woken up by now. Doc decided to try again with waking him up. "C'mon kid... Wake up..." He murmured as he nudged the red racer gently.

Aside from his steady breathing, Lightning was still out of it. Doc bit his lower lip. Was the kid going to wake up or not?! He nudged him again. "C'mon rookie, please wake up..." He murmured again, but his nudged seemed to be in vain. The older racecar was beginning to shake now. "Please...don't do this..." Doc pleaded, his voice shaky with worry.

He wanted to know if the kid was alright. He shouldn't be out this long. What if something was wrong with him?! Had his re-emergence into his life caused him to suffer something?! "Please kid, wake up!" Doc pleaded again as he nudged Lightning once more. Would Lightning would wake up at all?!

A very delayed Lightning McQueen Tags: Doc

((TOTALLY didn't forget him... *shifty eyes* ))

Lightning could hear muffled voices, becoming louder and quieter, louder, quieter. He was confused. Where was he? Why was it dark. He tried to call out, but found he couldn't. This caused him to panic. He tried to move his tires, his mouth, open his eyes..... nothing was working. He found his heart rate was increasing... he couldn't... was he dead? It was here, he heard a voice call for him, and found it rather soothing.... Wait... that voice... Oh yes... It was Doc! The voice seemed to re awaken something inside him. He found it relieving, happy.... oh he had missed his mentors voice. lightning listened to the calling, and felt.... nudging? He used this as his anchor, and pushed himself toward the noise, feeling his surroundings get lighter and lighter until....

The racecar let out a groan, feeling his body ache, everything feeling heavy. "Uuuhhhhhhh.... WHat..... happened" He said, opening his eyes slowly, his vision blurry to start, but then started to clear. He spotted his old mentor first, his mouth instantly opened to say something, though nothing came out. He felt his tank lurch. All that pain... grief.... sorrow... and he was here. Alive. Lightning had what appeared to be a scared expression, but it slowly changed, turning into an angry one. "Where... have you BEEN??" He launched here, pushing himself up on his tires more. "You let us beleive you were dead! I MOURNED you!!!"

Aeris McMissile | Tags: Finn, Doc, Streak, Spray, Lightning

The smaller Martin had calmed down slightly, but he still found it hard to breathe due to the mild panic attack he had gone into. Stupid red moon why u gotta be so rude. He was surprised at Finn's request, hesitating before nodding. "Y-yeah...sure."

(ew bout of writers block right there, I got nothing XD)
