Faceoff!< You don't seem to be rather surprised to hear a pile of embers speaking to you in your head. >"Well, we are in a spaceship full o' aliens," the woman replied, carefully sneaking through the halls. So far, so good, she hadn't ran into anyone yet.
< Aliens is such a derogatory term, > the ember pile said.
< The creatures here are several kinds of species. However, even the most advance species would consider a talking pile of ash quite alarming. >"I've had people without vocal cords speak ta me in m'head before," the woman said. "By the way, I'm Annamarie O--."
"HALT!" a guard yelled, appearing around a corner in front of her. "PRISONER LOOSE! PRI--"
As soon as the guard had yelled, Annamarie put on a burst of speed. A yard from the man, she leapt feet first at him. Snagging the guard's neck with her legs, Annamarie swung around, using a combination of her weight and momentum to snap the guard's neck. Landing easily on her feet while the dead guard collapsed to the ground, Annamarie checked her bustier to make sure the embers were still in place. "Y'all there?"
Before the embers could reply, there was a sudden slicing sound and the bustier was cut. Looking at her attacker with a deadpan look on her face, Annamarie tied the ends of the collar together. "Do you know how hard it is to find a bustier that keeps the girls in check? Especially when I'm carrying something in them?"
< Careful, > the embers said.
< She's me from another universe. She's damned powerful. >"She's the flufftail that arrested me fer killin' a bunch of
Magistrate," Annamarie said.
"Killing anyone is against the galaxy law," Other Nogard said. "The one you carry within your chest is guilty of this a thousand times over. If not for her current situation, we would have executed her."
< Just so you know, dousing me in water doesn't work too well, > Ember Nogard said.
< You'd think my other self wouldn't need to attempt it. >Picking a sword up from the dead guard, Annamarie relaxed her posture and said, "I don't really know or care what you two are talkin' about, but I'm not going back in that cell. I'll just break out again."
"Then I'll have to break those powerful legs of yours," Other Nogard said, drawing a sword.
Swearing, Ember Nogard said,
< That's one of the Dinos. Girl, you've got to run. > [1]"Why?"
< JUST RUN!!! >
