By now her pace had quickened slightly, trying to see if she would be able to reach the others soon. It wasn't before long that she felt something tugging on her flaona. "What the--?"
She didn't know whether to scream or not, wanting to make sure that the glow-plant hadn't just snagged on something. Then again, if she was going forward and if the plant was being tugged in the same direction...well, that just didn't make any sense, did it?
Lunira squinted her eyes a bit, crouching down a little to see what was in front of her. When she noticed two bright whitish green eyes blinking near the plant, she jumped.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Immediantly, she tried to tug the plant back but somewhere in the back of her mind, something was debating on whether or not to fight for the plant or just run blindly into the dark.

Upon her screaming the small alien screamed back in fear, letting go of the plant immediately. Holding his claws near his face and holding back tears, he continued to scream.
Lost in the chaos of the moment Chaosky had no idea what to do. He too was debating whether or not to run far off into the nothingness or stay and fight for his life.
Well, being youthful but not stupid he began to run in her direction, which made him run right into her.
"WAHHHH!"
Jumping back he opened his mouth to freeze whatever it was infront of him but no icy blast of ice came out,... nothing came out.
"W-Who are you!?!" He said pointing a claw out infront of himself, "I-I'm a big scary alien!!"

As the cards were flipped his way, Masurao's expression did not change. Looking balanced as ever, two gloved hands reached out for the cards that were being distributed and -like Tala- began to stack them into a neat pile. Despite not being a frequent card player, the teen's moves were fluid and measured with a smooth preciseness and soon the alien cards were in front of him, his hands laid calmly next to them upon the wooden table, his legs crossed. His vibrant green eyes ran across the other players briefly, checking and double checking if they were prepared as well, his face barely making a natural twitch as he did so.
"Let's go." Etoile called out. Masurao had barely made move towards his stack of cards, when the two Telarians had already flipped them over. He could almost feel the competitiveness ooze from the girl at his side and the sudden swiftness made one of his eyebrows lift. Not that he minded. No, it was almost curious and inquiring. But no matter. Time to see how things would turn out.
In barely a second, one hand had reached out and turned the first card on his pile over, all this while using two fingers only. Having done so, he quickly glanced down at his card (which displayed a moon) to register it in his mind, and then let his piercing eyes snap over to the other pictures on the table, those of the other team prior, trying to see if there was any image that matched his.
Nebulos, meanwhile, had been clenching his fists in enthusiasm when the cards were being dealt. He chuckled in anticipation and flickered his antennae brightly when Etoile signaled the start of the game. "Come on, guys!" he called, lifting a fist into the air. He decided to cheer on both teams, seeing how it wasn't really in his personality to choose sides. He uttered another joyous laugh when the wolfboy on his right had turned his card around as well, but it stuck halfway down his throat when suddenly--
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Nebulos's eyes widened and his antennae illuminated stronger. Masurao, too, had looked up due the sudden scream, which made his mane twitch and look over his shoulder, temporarily distracted from the actiony game. His eye searched for Niji first and found her quickly, but registered that she was not the source of the screaming.
It was Nebulos, however, who jumped into action.
Barely a few seconds after the cry had been emitted from somewhere outside the room, the blue boy had tensed up. A single word escaped his mouth in a whisper. "Lunira."
And then he was off.
With a sudden swiftness, he leapt off Tala's head, immediately decreasing the amount of light upon the table. As fast as his smaller legs could carry him, he bounded over to the exit, which he could vaguely discern in the distance, his entire small frame alighted as a bright beacon in the darkness. Nebulos had recognized the scream right away and hence forth, it had gotten this reaction out of him.
Almost passing the door in his hurry, he skidded to a halt and hastily rounded the corner. "Lunira?!" he cried out, slight panic seeping through his voice. "Lunira, where are you?!"
Running into a random direction, he flashed his antennae repeatedly to make sure he'd be easier to be spotted in this darkness, even though he already was hard to miss. He heard more screams and quickened his pace, rounding another corner.

Lol, Nebby to the rescue.))
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another scream answered her own, which didn't really make her feel any better about her situation. Luckilly, whatever that grabbed her plant in the first place had let go...but was it in fear? The thing that had grabbed her flaona had probably been scared too, but the scream didn't really reassure her any better.
Her eyes still wide, Lunira took a few steps back again, still not sure as to run or not. She glanced briefly at the flaona for a moment before holding it in both of her paws. The green light outlined her oddly-colored hands...her left paw being white while the right was black as her hair. Lunira held up the plant in defense, ready to use it as a weapon when she heard the other person speak.
"W-Who are you!?! I-I'm a big, scary alien!"
Lunira wasn't convinced by the statement, and she lowered her guard a little. The voice sounded as small as her own...well, not like Child-small, but alien-small.
"Are you really--"
"Lunira?! Lunira, where are you?!"
Her head titled upward and her focus went out into the darkness. She recognized that voice... and it sounded worried. "Nebulos?!" The way she reacted to the yell made it look as if she had forgotten all about her encounter with whoever that had scared her, as she now was wondering if it was him.
"Nebulos, I'm over here!" She called out once more, hearing her voice echo down the halls.

In between watching the card game, to entertain herself, she pulled out the latest issue of Galactic-Girl magazine, intending on using her colorful rainbow orb as a light source for reading. She had plenty of girl magazines at her disposal, but this particular one, had everything from personality quizzes, to the latest news of every girl's favorite boy-band The G-boyz, and most importantly, she loved the articles about fashion and the latest trends and styles. Masurao frowned upon her choice in reading materials, but it was a girl thing, the colorful girl didn't expect him to understand...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
At the sound of the loud streak Niji's tore her eyes away from the glossy pages, and looked around to find the cause and the owner of the scream. "That sounded an awful lot like..." She ended her train of thought when she saw Nebulos drop the cards he was holding in a panicked fashion and sprint out the door, concerned for both Lunira and Nebulos, she dropped the magazine and flew after the blue boy, following his illuminating antenna. As she flew behind him she shined her rainbow light into every corner, making sure they'd did not pass her, it was dark after all.
"Lunira?! Lunira, where are you?!" She heard Nebulos cry out worriedly, she hoped that Lunira would respond soon,
She did. "Nebulos, I'm over here!" She called out. Niji blew a sigh of relief,
"Nebulos, I think she's around the corner!" She pointed down the corridor, "Hurry, let's go see if she's all right!"

Chaosky was confused as to what was going as the alien in front of him spoke and another voice trailed down the hallway.
"Are you really--"
The cut off of the words confused him even more as he tried to grasp where he was and what was going on.
/Nebulous?/ He thought trying to gain control over himself.
"Are you another... Operative?" He asked Lunira before looking in the direction of the other voice.
The pitch darkness of the hallway seemed terrifying for such a small guy but he felt instantly safe for some reason as he heard the other's voices. Perhaps he was safe now.... or maybe it was all just a false reality and he was in the middle of something terrible.
Nervously he braced himself for the worse, even if the worse would not come.

"Hey!"
A hoarse voice echoed from the door Niji and Nebulos had exited, the mere second after the princess had disappeared through it. "Hold it there! You can't go wandering around in the dark by yourself!"
The bodyguard's words sounded through the darkness in vain, or at any rate pretty much ignored by both Niji and Nebulos , the latter especially, as the command wasn't directed at him in the first place.
Instead, the glowing boy dashed down the corridor, his anxious face snapping from left to right to make sure they didn't pass the panda-like girl by accident.
"Nebulos, I'm over here!"
Flickering his antennae, Nebulos picked up his pace and almost hurled himself across the hallway. "Nebulos, I think she's around the corner! Hurry, let's go see if she's all right!" he heard Niji call out to him, her words almost lost due the wind gushing in his ears. He was near said corner almost a second after she had pointed it out to him and he rounded it, the glossy floors almost making him soar right past it. His eyes wide and alert, they immediately found the green light that glowed faintly in the distance, several feet away. Nebulos recognized it as an item Lunira had once shown him, explaining how her own species used it to lighten their path when it's dark. "Luni!" he cried out again to announce his presence, though it was hardly needful since the light from his antennae illuminated an an area of a good five square feet around him. "Luni, are you alright??" The glowing alien bolted over the green light down the hallway, glad to see that it was moving. "I'm coming!" he reassured, nervously glancing from left to right to make sure there weren't any threats on either side that might've caused her screaming.
Sighing audibly in relief, the blue teen skidded to a halt when his light alighted the black and white frame of his hatfortave. "What's going on? Are you okay? What happened??" he inquired apprehensively in between pants, not immediately registering the presence of another creature in the hall.

Chaosky blinked and opened his mouth to say something. This something would either scare the blue teen or make him feel fearful for his special friend. "Hey!!" Chaosky started, looking at the glowing one, "Who are you!!?"
Holding out a claw, Chaosky prepared to fight whoever was endangering him and his.... hallmate.

Another yell answered her, and this time it wasn't her hatvortave.
"Nebulos, I think she's around the corner!" The voice sounded a lot like Niji's. "Hurry, let's go and see if she's all right!"
Lunira smiled a little, glad that the others heard her. It seemed like the sounds traveled faster in the dark than they did when the power was on. The person in front of her caught her attention again with a question of his own.
"Are you another...Operative?"
"Yes," she nodded a little. "Are you one, too?" Again, she crouched down to see if she could get a better look at the other person she came across. Just when she was about to place the Flaona near the person's face, another light caught her eye.
From her position, she could see Nebulos's white coming towards her, getting brighter and nearer with each second. Her smile widened a little as he approached, glad that he'd found her. Although, funny as it was, as soon as Nebulos was right in front of her, the flaona she held began to dim and fade out.
"Well...now it's a snack." She giggled to herself and put it away in her back pocket. She looked towards the glowing boy, who was now panting. He must've been running for all this time. She thought to herself.
He was panting, but that didn't stop him from asking. "What's going on? Are you okay? What happened?"
"Well, I was walking around trying to find my way in the dark when someone pulled on my plant--" That was when she remembered her acquaintence, whom she hoped hadn't left yet.
He hadn't, as she had noticed once she had looked over towards the side. "Um...hi there. Were you the one I'd bumped in to?"

The little one nodded and looked back and forth from them. He didn't have time to think of an answer to the question about being an operative, this he stood, looking back and forth from the others, "Hi..." He said confused, "I am!!"
Looking at Nebulous he grinned seeing the other was too the same height as them both..... yet he had never formally met these aliens are started to ponder that they have been shrunken by some science fiction monster, "Oh... well..." He relaxed and smiled more, "My name is Chaosky!! They call me Numbuh 3N7!!" Chaosky looked from them both again and quietly asked, "What is going on?"

Breathing a sigh of relief at the little operative before her, she floated down to the floor and sitting on her knees so that she could scoop Lunira up in a relieved hug
"Luni, thank goodness you're okay. You had Nebby and I worried for a second." She said putting the Panda-like girl gently back down on the shiny floor,
"My name is Chaosky!! They call me Numbuh 3N7!!" She heard another voice introduce himself, she looked to her left and saw a little green boy speaking to Nebulos.
"Well hello there!" She said polietly, "I don't think I've seen you around here before Chaosky." She said tilting her head, "But then again this base IS huge so..." She chuckled lightly, "I'm Niji, by the way." She introduced herself with a smile.

Before she could reply, two gray hands had picked her up in one swift motion. "Luni, thank goodness you're okay. You had Nebby and I worried for a second." As the princess gave her a hug, Lunira could only hug back.
"Thanks, Niji. I'm glad to see you too.."
When she was set on the ground, she turned to the boy and tilted her head. "Chaosky, huh? Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Lunira, Numbuh L-90." Putting her hands behind her back, she looked up towards the ceiling..or at least, where it would be.
"This power-surge is really something. It's really dark around here." Looking back towards the ground, she looked back towards Nebulos. "Are you all right? You're panting very hard."

Chaosky looked upwards as well, unaware she was doing the same thing but the light from the glowing flower gave some indication that it was so. "Lu...ni...ra?" He said it slowly trying to grasp the name in his mind, "It is a pleasure to meet you."
Now, seeing as Chaosky was quite small and surrounded by new faces who were quite small, he felt he had became normal sized and started to shiver. It was a new experience... being normal sized and he stood and enjoyed it as the lights from the glowing aliens and plants flickered in the darkness.

*pokes thread*
-----------
Niji looked down at the smaller aliens. They seemed to be getting along fine.
"Well, if you guys will excuse me, I'm going to check down in the basement for some sort of generator or fuse box. This lack of light is beginning to get on my nerves." The teen Orgamian Princess turned on her heel to float down the hall, but turned back as if she remembered something. "Oooh! Could you guys do me a favor and Tell Masurao where I'm going? I don't want him to think I've been kidnapped or anything...He tends to come to that conclusion a lot..."

*pokes as well* Maybe we should do a time-skip or something?...or at least turn the power back on. XD;
-----------
"That sounds like a good idea. All right, Niji, I'll tell him." Lunira nodded to the colorful girl, watching as she floated away to wherever the fuse box was located. The Flaona dimmed more and more with each second, which had almost went unnoticed by the Ursa, if it weren't for the fact that as she lowered her head back to normal level, she noticed the other boy was still looking at it.
She was about to ask Chaosky what he was doing walking around in the dark, but then her attention turned towards Nebulos, who hadn't said anything yet. "Oh, Nebbie, this is Chaosky. Chaosky, Nebulos. "
Placing her hands behind her back again, she looked from the glowing boy over to the other one, a small smile on her face. "We kinda bumped into each other," she added to explain how she knew Chaosky. Then, her eyes widened in realization as to how her hatvortave was pretty frantic on arriving, which made her lower her head a bit in embarassment. "Sorry for making you worried."
~~~~~~~
Amidst the dark halls, there wasn't much to be seen except for, well, black. However, in a few seconds, there was the faint glow of two light lavendar orbs flickering. When seen up close, it was easy to tell that they were concealed by a barrier, or at least a fringe of yellow.
".....Huh, they came in use again this time."
Zoelin's eyes scanned the area as she walked ahead, being a little better off than some of the operatives without a light. It may have seemed a bit odd, but on her homeplanet, it wasn't. It was a trait all whiskites shared. She had heard some of the others were meeting up in the game room for something, but Zoelin figured she might go and see if she could try to turn the lights back on.
"Hmm. Now where's that fuse-box."
