Emil shook Kale back to consciousness. They both lay on the roof of the shuttle in the overturned craft. Above them and down the compartment Tiet hung a few feet away in his flight chair. Juli moaned something about her mother as Kale made his way to release her from her harness. He smelled the wreckage burning.
Kale tried to support Juli's small frame and then released the latch for her flight harness allowing her to fall onto his shoulders gently. Emil emerged from the cockpit as Kale let Juli down to her feet. The look on his face told Kale that her parents had not survived the crash.
Emil came to support the girl as Kale made his way to his father. Using the same maneuver, he released Tiet's harness and took his weight upon his own shoulders.
They heard screams out in the street as the group made their way to the boarding ramp door. The ramp itself was on the roof to them and Emil forced the door open with his mind. Beyond, thousands of people ran through the streets.
The Agonotti rampaged against the inhabitants of the city. Kale and the others walked out of the ship. This had to get to the transgate recall portal. Warriors materialized around them as the cloud hung heavy in the street.
"Leaving so soon?" a voice said from behind them.
They looked back to see more warriors on top of the mangled hull of the shuttle. Emil lit a kemstick with one hand while supporting a slightly injured and dazed Juli with the other. If they had to fight now, the wounded might hinder their efforts.
Suddenly the warrior that had spoken to them exploded in a blue spherical burst. A spicor!
Kale and Emil turned to find Grod running at them firing the plasma glove at the Agonotti as the shadow of Wynn Gareth passed over them. He landed on the shuttle's hull and quickly dispatched several Agonotti before any of the humanoids could react. Without hesitation, Grod ran into the midst and pulled Tiet off of Kale's shoulders, bearing the king's weight. Then he took off running back the way they had come.
"Come on, the gate is this way!" he shouted.
Wynn brought up the rear of the party, engaging the masses of Agonotti that came out of the cloud to pursue them. He thrust many Agonotti away with his mind and cut down any within striking distance. Still they pursued.
It was a short run to the gate. They had crashed just around the corner from its location. Grod blasted away at any Agonotti in his path. He reached the gate and ran through with Tiet. Kale and Emil tried their best to avoid the creatures as they got Juli through the gate with Wynn close behind them.
Chaos reigned in Sector city. Then the scene snapped out of existence as Wynn closed the gate before anything else could come through.
Mirah fell on her son's neck kissing him before he could even find a chair to set Juli in. But motherly smothering and affection quickly took second chair to her need to treat her patients. She saw that the young girl was more dazed than anything. She might have a concussion, but Tiet looked far worse.
Mirah went to him and helped Grod get him into the ships medical lab. Tiet faded in and out of consciousness.
"Wynn, bring the kids to the med lab. I want to get bio scans on everyone," Mirah instructed as she followed Grod through the doors.
Wynn looked at Kale. "Well, young man, it looks like you've had quite an adventure over the past few days-you get a vacation and turn a whole city upside down."
"There's more going on there than you know."
"Boy, that's the truth," Emil said.
"Well, let's get you guys checked out and see how your father is doing. You can tell me all about it tonight."
