"He's not my brother!" Luda screamed and the scientist was knocked flat as the room erupted again.

The others all fell over as the corridor shook before regaining themselves and running again. They burst through a set of open, electronic doors and right into what appeared to be a large hanger.

"Look!" Denum pointed at a grounded hovercraft. "I can get us out!"

"Do you know how to fly that thing!?" Aireio snapped.

"He doesn't need to," The boy in Red's arms said so suddenly that they all paused to look at him.

"Whatever... just get us over there!" Aireio snapped, making for the air craft.

"Stay with him!" LiSen cried. "He can only cover within ten feet of himself, Aireio!"

"Don't be such a pain!" Denum snapped at LiSen's sister before he slipped into the hovercraft. "Okay, everyone strap in, this think is big and the ride's gonna be rough!"

Red set down and buckled in the tall boy quickly. Across the way, the hangar doors opened and more guards began piling in.

Denum jumped away from the controls in alarm as they suddenly sprang to life without him having to touch anything.

"Hey, careful!" Aireio cried as she stumbled into her seat.

The craft lifted off - again without Denum touching anything - and Red found himself being pushed down into a seat, his belt buckling itself.

"Whoa, what the hell!" Red blinked.

The hovercraft turned wide as the guards started shooting at it and then rushed forward towards the large doors in the back. They looked like they were going to crash into it when all the weapons set off and blew a path right through.

"I didn't know you could fly this well!" LiSen breathed at Denum in shock.

Denum looked at his hands- frowning.

"...Neither did I..." He murmured.

One of the turrets on the wall turned and began laying down the fire with the anit-aircraft rounds. A few crashed hard into the side of the hovercraft and sent it spiraling into the thicket of lush greenery outside the boundaries of the facility. They crashed through the trees- branches and leaves and vines passing them on all sides as the metal bumped, ground and cracked. Then they hit and everything went black.

"What was that?" Kayen breathed as a loud series of noises came from the north. He turned, peering off in that direction. "A ship went down..."

"We should leave it alone." Domino murmured.

"Guards use ships Kayen." Chess snickered. "Silvers don't have to."

"I'm wondering if it was someone we know trying to escape," Kayen mumbled. "Or worse... Adam..."

"That wouldn't happen to be Commander Adamanti, would it?" Chess smirked at Domino- who remained blank as he watched Kayen.

"Duh!" Kayen snapped, his cheeks a bit pink. "What if he was coming after me and got shot down!?"

"If he was coming after you, it was to take you back in chains." Domino murmured- picking at his unlit collar.

"Adam isn't like that!" Kayen snapped. "Come on, we're going to go see what it was!"

He stormed off through the thick planets on the forest floor, navigating the uneven ground like he'd lived there his entire life.

"Some of flora is actually carnivorous." Chess pointed out as he followed with Domino behind him.

"I hope it eats you!" Kayen snapped in reply.
