As Sofia, Tilo, and Akashu rode across the horizon their sensors picked up a large clump of objects in the the shape of a town. "Rest, finally!" said Akashu. They had been riding non-stop for two days now. "Maybe not," replied Tilo. "I'm picking up some readings on some pretty heavy power output. They must have powerful defenses." "Well... we might as well go see what it is. It's our only chance."

"Sir! We are picking up two small transports about 15 miles out due east." said a Patadecian soldier. "Ready the cannons," replied Raiku. "Lets see who they are first though. Order all soldiers to take refuge in the ruins." A few minutes later the vehicles on the scanner were now within firing range of the make-shift walls. "Sir, we are picking up the frequency of one of our own." "Sofia" whispered Raiku. "We're in the green. Get all men back to their work. And welcome our guests to the north landing area." "Aye, Sir!" Five minutes later Raiku was parking his hovercycle at the north landing zone, the parking lot of his old school. "Thank goodness your safe." said Raiku as he ran to hug Sofia.
"Where's May?" asked Raiku. May!? We had completely forgot about her. "We don't know, her and Boa weren't at the crash site. But ther were large chunks of metal missing from the hull..." "We have to find them." said Raiku in a stern and steady voice. "Captain!" "Sir!" replied a gruff, weathered soldier, "Get a search team out in sectors Zeta82 through Xylis9 on the double!" "Aye, Sir!" said the man as he started giving out the orders to a battalion of men.

May abruptly woke up as if she was in a nightmare. She looked around to see scraps of metal around her. To her right there was something buried under one of the larger pieces. As she limped over to it she could see Boa's body laying underneath it wasn't moving. She tried as hard as she could to make the twisted hull scrap budge, but it wouldn't. "Come on! Don't be dead. Please don't be dead." She cried as she continued to shove her body against the metal. Just then a clear tube rolled in front of her and dispersed a greyish purple haze into the air. She was out cold.
