"Space...the final frontier. These are the voyages of...Dex! His continuing mission...to smile...laugh...and make amazing desserts! Oh and to keep Dex's triceratops Betty happy. Yeah, no taco Tuesday for her. Talk about a poop show!"

Rex System: Five Planets in System, 3 Moons. Third Planet from the sun, Rexor. Home to Class III Prison Facility.



The hover car blew through the second set of gates and out for the road with four hover trucks in hot pursuit. Their sirens blazing and lights flashing, the Prison Guard hover trucks aggressively followed after the speeding hover car. You know the car. The one with the big Otter pressing his butt up against the back window.

"Yeah baby! Check that canyon out you suckers!" Shouted Ernie the Otter. He proceeded to rub his furry butt up against the back window in defiance as laser bolts shot past the hover car from several of the guards pursuing them. Dex's blue ears were loose in flapping about with the wind rushing by the open window on the driver's side of the hover car. "Ernie" What you do this time?" Inquired Dex as he took a hard right and nearly sent Ernie in the back seat flying into the closed right window. Ernie blinked and shook his head. "Hm' Oh you know Dex, some people just don't know how to have a good time. I met this girl and she was into cute furry guys like us and so one thing led to another and...well...." Dex's ears perked up. "Oh no Ernie! You didn't?"?" Ernie nodded slowly. "Yup. we shared an ice cream cone. It was chocolate. With a brownie like middle. Needless to say, the Warden of that prison kinda liked this girl so he got all upset and drama like. I hate drama!" Dex nodded with a flip flop of his ears about the driver's side. "Oh yeah, Dex hate drama too!" Taking another hard turn and increasing speed for grassy hill of land ahead as he tore off the road. "So, how's Betty been Dex?" Ernie got all casual in conversation suddenly, even with the laser fire behind them from the prison guards. "Oh she okay. Dex not take her to taco Tuesdays anymore. She get all poopy and stuff. She does like the fresh plants in the forests of Rhydin though. We should head there, but not right now. Cause, you know, have like these pesky guys behind us and all their shooting and stuff." Ernie nodded his head in a kind of dance like motion. "Totally, Dex. They are really bringing down my mood. Are we there yet?"

The hover car climbed the hill and disappeared over the other side suddenly. As the pursuing guards drew in closer toward the hill, a transport ship lifted upwards from behind the hill. Rising into the air as two forward twin heavy laser cannons opened fire at the ground before the incoming hover trucks. The ground leapt up into the air as energy fire tore into it. Hover trucks gave quick turns to avoid the firing cannons and ended up crashing into each other. At the controls of the transport, Ricky the Raccoon was grinning deviously as he watched one of the display screens on the bridge of the ship. "Hehehehehe! Next time I will blow you to bits! Muahhahahahhaaa!" Dex and Ernie had come up the stairs from the lower cargo deck to the second level onboard the transport, Dex giving a hop to the main command chair on the bridge as all four blue hands went to work on the controls.

"The company was iffy, the food was all prison like and the guards not very nice. Dex thinks we should avoid this planet in future." As the Pelican Class Armed Transport lifted high into the sky for orbit, the forward twin heavy laser cannons retracted back into their ports before the covering doors closed over them in hiding.

"Hey Dex!" Dex looked over at Ernie with one blue ear perking from Dex. "Yes'z?" "Can we go see those former slave friends of yours" They are always fun!" Ricky just snickered and grinned. "Hehe...hehe...hehe..." Dex gave a shrug of shoulders and entered in a set of coordinates to jump out of the system once they made free of the planet and into space. "Well, Dex no see why not' I mean, it has been while since Dex say hello to them. Oh! I think Dex just remembered, we have to go pick up Kitty!" Ernie was up in one of the bridge chairs spinning it around as his tongue flapped out of his jaws. "Where is Kitty?" "Oh you know, Dex think Weston capture him to try and lure Dex in for capture." Ricky was in a daze sitting in a chair and then he seemed to come back to life with a blink of his eyes. "Can we blow Kitty out of wherever he is to set him free" Please?"" I have explosives down in the cargo hold. I haven't made anything go boom in weeks. Well, unless you count the time I had eaten at the spacer diner and had the special. Only thing special about that meal, was how fast it burned from my butt to the toilet bowl." Ernie paused in his chair spinning, then started to laugh wildly as he threw his head back and rolled about in the chair.

Ernie got a hold of his laughter and turned his head over toward Dex. "Hey, isn't Weston that dorky bearded guy that wants to sell you to those scientists?" Dex nodded his head with a flip clap of his ears as clawed fingertips tapped to the console before him and the transport, jumped into hyperspace. "Yeah. Dex think his beard make him look silly. All those scientists want to do is poke Dex with needles and run tests, tests, tests on him. Dex hate tests. But Dex do like desserts. Oh, we need to stop to get items so Dex can make apple pies and stuff for other desserts." Ernie rolled over in his chair and looked back at Dex with his head upside down and hanging from the side of the swivel chair. "I'm not going to say no to that, but we should make a plan on getting Kitty. If he's left alone too long with that nitwit Weston, he might get crazy." Ricky piped in. "You mean crazier." A nodding of the raccoons head.

Doctor Benicio was an odd man to say the least. His outfits were a blaze of red and black with silver highlights here and there about the long coats he wore. Light blonde hair was thick and up as if by magic in the air. Dark was the skin around his eyes and the dark mark going downward over his bottom lip. His gaze seemed to always be that of thinker. Was he debating on what to say' Was he studying you? Or was he thinking of the best way to make you suffer should he feel it needed to be done"

Weston was a decently educated man. Thinking it made him look older then his true age, he had opted for the dark beard and mustache. One to wear a dark uniform with silver buttons, Weston may not of been deadly with a blaster pistol but he was cunning and had the habit of providing in depth strategies that usually worked out.

Both men were walking along one of the many converted decks of Benicio's massive cargo freighter and the unique 'collection' of specimens he had acquired in his travels through the galaxy. Benicio's voice came smooth, oddly calm in textured tone. "So you believe, Weston, that this feline will draw out the alien known as Dex?" Weston smiled brightly as he walked along with the Doctor of unique science and collections, his hands clasped behind his back. "Yes, I do. You see Doctor Benicio, Dex if anything is loyal to his friends. Even the ones that you or I would probably distance ourselves from for various reasons. Dex will come for his feline friend and when he does, I will spring the trap to capture of him." Weston perked a brow as they passed a holding cell, the size of a large cargo container and the unique snow like atmosphere behind the thick windows.

"I will pay you for your troubles, once Dex is onboard my ship and in one of my display cells. Don't stare into the snow, he doesn't like that." Benicio walked onward as Weston peered further into the unique cell of snow. Two eyes looked back at him then and as the eyes lifted into the air with in the cell Weston noted it was a Wampa creature from an ice planet. The tall beast growled and Weston decided it was a good time to catch up with the Doctor again in step.

"Yes, my payment. Of course I won't ask for it prior to delivery, that would not be proper in our deal. I do hold some concern about rumors I've heard about the Ape Brothers and that rude smuggler, Ruby."

Doctor Benicio glanced aside toward Weston and briefly, smiled. "What rumors, would that be, Mr. Weston?" Weston smiled right back at Benicio. Though his smile was strained. "Rumors that someone promised them payment for delivering of the little blue alien known as Dex, to you." Benicio's smile remained a moment later before escaping his lips. "Dex is unique and would make a well addition to my collection. If I've learned one thing from him in the past two years, it is that when you think you know what he will do...you will find yourself mistaken. Dex's mind is not limited to logical thought. He not only sees things outside the box as the saying goes, but he seems to come up answers that you would never have thought of. He is, unique. If I were to find out where more of him could be found, think of the endless possibilities to be had." Weston nodded some toward the taller man. "I suppose I can see your point. You know Doctor Doriff has bounties out on him as well. Seems quite the competition for a little blue alien."

"That little blue alien, as you refer to him' Is worth his weight in the galaxies treasures, Mr. Weston."

There was a bump to the escape pod. Kitty perked his feline head upwards over the opening in the escape pod where the hatch had been. His tail twitched and he lifted up further on his paws of gray and white with dark speckles. "Finally! This dumb thing has drifted into shore! Free at last! Free at last! Lord oh mighty of the cosmos I am free at last from the horrid water!"

Kitty leapt from the opening in the escape pod and landed on the grass by the shore line. Stretching in classic feline manner and breathing a sigh of relief as he strolled on all four legs further up toward the tree line.

It was then that two upright walking apes of dark fur emerged from the tree line. Apparently they had made their way through the woods after seeing the escape pods crash about. Kitty gave pause as his tail twitched again. "Oh great, not free of idiots!"

The Ape Brothers, Apples and Oranges as they went by, shifted their mouths as they worked their teeth behind their lips. One of them lifted the dark shotgun looking weapon in hands toward the feline cat. "Kitty....not exactly what we were looking to salvage from the escape pods our ship picked up. Where's that friend of yours" Where is Dex" We still have a score to settle with that blue freak."

Kitty shook his tail back and forth behind him. "Dex ain't no freak! If anything it's you two bone heads that are freaks! I mean look at you two, it's like dumb and dumber with a side of moron fries. Now if you two will excuse me, I have to evade a serious idiot with a beard."

"Not so fast Kitty! You aren't going anywhere!" Shouted Apples as his ape brother Oranges, turned toward a cracking of leaves upon the forest floor. Several men were coming their way. "Hey! That cat is ours! Get away from him you monkey brains!"

"Monkey brains"!"!" Why you evolved turkey..." Apples turned and fired off a shotgun round at the men, while moving to take cover by a fallen tree. Blaster fire returned his direction and his brother's as they fired back with Apples shotgun and Oranges M-16 Rifle.

As the two groups became busy with a game of who can kill who, Kitty quietly snuck low to the ground and moved far to the left to avoid the weapons fire. Keeping even his tail low as he tried to put as much distance between him and the two groups of misfits. "How could this day get any worse"!"!" Muttered Kitty.

A loud impact to the ground sent two of the guards flying up into the air and back down to hit hard upon tree trunks and branches. The shooting stopped between the two groups as they looked upwards to find a Yacht 3000 starship of some fifty meters in length, hovering above them. The laser cannon at the bottom of the ship fired off several warning shots about the Ape Brothers and the Guards alike. As the two groups took to hide behind trees and duck down, the ship lowered off toward where the grass dropped off toward the sea. A side hatch opened up and ramp extended outwards.

Kitty made a quick choice. Get on that ship or end up being possibly a prisoner again by the human guards or the ape bone heads. Ship" Sounds a good idea!

Kitty darted off on all four legs and leapt for the ramp a couple feet off the ground. Scampering upwards into the ship before the ramp retracted and the hatch swung closed. The ship arched in turn and shot off for orbit while the laser cannon retracted back into the belly of the ship.

Weston was nearing the shore line with another seven guards from his ship when he gave pause to look upwards at the vessel speeding for the stars. "That cat better not be onboard that ship. Geezus! How many lives does this feline have"!!"!?"

As Weston grumbled and turned to motion the guards to head back for his ship, the Ape Brothers watched the ship departing with the cat. "I hate Dex." Muttered Apples. "I hate Dex more." Said Oranges. "No you don't! I hate him more! He super glued my hands together!" "Yeah well he put super glue in my shampoo!" The two brothers dropped their guns and went into one of their typical fights of punches and smacks with their big fists.

Meanwhile, Kitty wandered toward what he thought was the way for the bridge of the spaceship. Upon arriving to the bridge he perked his head about and looked upwards with a lift of ears and his tail as he spotted the long haired brunette smiling down at him from the pilot's chair. "Hello, Kitty!" Kitty blinked and then jumped upwards to land on the woman's lap. "Carrie Ann! Oh my gosh! You won't believe the day I've had! Space guys want to kidnap me! Ape Brothers want to kidnap me! I was stuck in an escape pod going up and down in the waves surrounded by water! Water!" Carrie Ann smirked some and drew her hand along Kitty's head and back to calm him some. Course, Kitty gave pause in his circling upon her lap and settled to lay down. His tail flickered back and forth as he pushed his back into that petting. "Let me guess, Weston wants to get Dex again?" Kitty just kinda nodded his head, getting lost in the petting. It was relaxing to the feline!

"Yeah....big dummy head. Those scientists probably want Dex still for their experiments." Kitty shifted his head so he could get Carrie Ann's hand to rub between his ears. He was a cat after all. Carrie Ann smiled as her ship made the jump into hyper-space. "Well, we will have to find Dex first. I will have to send out a communication for Zoie and the Mon Calamari Captain Gial. I better send a transmission to Jessica as well. Can't have her getting upset with me because I didn't ask if she's seen Dex."

Kitty's ears perked upwards some and his tail twitched. "You mean that ship of former slaves, that Jessica?" Carrie Ann nodded downward at Kitty curled up in the lap of her white gown. "Um, you could drop me off if we run into them and I could maybe spend sometime with those lonely ladies." Carrie Ann smirked and shook her head at Kitty.

"Yeah, you are definitely one of Dex's friends. Now behave somewhat while I send out some coded transmissions."

"So we are going to stop off here and should find information on where Kitty is." Dex nodded his head with a shake of his long ears. The planet below them was Draxis III. The planet was a remake of Draxis II which had been destroyed by four different factions wishing to control the gambling and betting on sports that took place upon the large spaceport city of Summer's Gold. Draxis III however had that of more water and offered nearly a hundred beach front resorts for guests coming to enjoy the planet's beautiful weather.

Coming up fast from the planet was a Modified YV-666 Freighter. Ernie the Otter tapped at the screen before him on his control console. "Hey Dex" Are we expecting any freighters today?" Dex shook his head as he looked over toward Ernie. "Um, no. Dex no think so. Why Ernie?" "Oh no reason. I was just wondering why this ship from the planet is headed straight for us. Oh, you might want to move the ship to the left a little. They just fired at us." Said Ernie calmly, as if it was no big deal.

"Ack!" Shouted Dex as his fingers moved over his console and his transport ship darted off as thrusters engaged. The ship rocked slightly with the impact of weapons fire. "Oh squat doodle!" Grumbled Dex. "Dex just have ship detailed last Tuesday."

A voice came over the communications system. "This is the Bounty Hunter Zephon. You will proceed to the planet below and promptly land at docking bay sixty with my lead. Failure to do so, will result in your destruction, Dex. I know you're on board you little koala."

Dex's ears shifted downward. "Dex not a koala!!!! He want to be smart tough Bounty Hunter...Dex show him he not so easy to capture! Ricky! You have permission to fire on that doodie head!" Ricky the Raccoon smiled brightly from his chair on the bridge of Dex's ship and spun his chair around once before little paws moved over the fire controls. "With pleasure!"

Two aft doors retracted and a pair of laser cannons emerged to fire back at the Bounty Hunter's ship. Not fully expecting Dex's transport ship to be armed and then with high quality armament, Zephon's ship took a direct hit on the bow section and his shields dropped nearly twenty-two percent. "Why you little ball of fur! I will take you alive despite your..." His words were cut off as his ship was hit from behind by a modified and quite similar vessel as his own. Zephon was able to make a positive I.D. of the ship and gritted his teeth. "Duebin."

Duebin moved his ship to try and continue firing at Zephon's as well as take a few shots at Dex's ship. 

"Dex!" Shouted Ernie from his chair. "This place is full of doodie heads!" Dex nodded with a flip flop of his long ears. "Dex agree with Ernie. Let the Hunters fight among themselves we are out of here!" With a run of his hands to the controls before him, the modified Pelican Transport dropped low and darted for the planet below while firing back at both ships. "Dex gonna loose them with a quick landing on far side of planet. Should be a few resorts there with enclosed docking bays to hide. Hopefully they don't finish fighting among themselves too soon."

Zephon tried to follow Dex's ship, but Duebin was intent on taking Dex in for the bounty himself. As weapons fire impacted Zephon's ship he finally gave up and brought his ship about to engage Duebin's vessel with an exchange of quad laser cannon fire. 

As the two Bounty Hunters exchanged damage to either's ship, a quarter way around the planet two vessels slipped out of hyperspace. The modified YT-2400 light freighter and the Hammerhead Corvette proceeded downward to locate docking bays for a secure landing.

"No mishaps. I'm paying you two aid with muscle, not mind. So you leave the thinking up to me and just be ready when I say so." The short dark haired woman narrowed her eyes some as she looked at a communication screen on board her freighter. The Ape Brothers nodded from the bridge of their ship. "We know. Long as you paying, we will be ready to help with plan."
