So Long, Onyx!

You fly Southeast, where the dot was shown on the radar.

The campsite is only a five minute flight away, and you can see lazers firing when you arrive. It seems you were right about the Shadowans needing some help.

The five of you land in the middle of it all, and realize that most of the lazer fire is coming from non-shapshifting Shadowans armed with lazer rifles they took from defeated Hunters.

*ZING ZING* You and Blackfire open fire on the last few Hunters still fighting, and the victory is finalized.

"Only one last Hunter campsite," Drusy says, "and I'm sure we can handle it ourselves."

"In that case," you say, "we'll just take our ship and go."

Blackfire carries Nuh, Flashfire carries Foxy, and they float up into the air. You prepare to carry Onyx, but she hesitates.

"Onyx," Blackfire calls down. "Aren't you coming?"

"These are my people," she says, "but you are my friends. I don't know which to choose."

"You just said it yourself," you say. "These are your people, your family, and you should stay with them."

"Saffire!" Blackfire protests, and the other girls whine in kind.

"No," you scold them, "Onyx can stay. We can just take a Hunter ship out of here."

You fly up, and lead the reluctant girls back to the main camp.

The five of you arrive, the four girls bummed that Onyx won't be coming with you.

"Girls, cheer up," you tell them. "She'll be fine, she has her family and friends to protect her."

"But we're her friends, too!" Foxy whines.

"Yes, we are," you agree, "and as her friends, we should let her be with her family!"

"Alright alright, enough arguing," Nuh says. "Are we going to take the same ship, or a new one?"

The five of you look at the selection of ships that the Hunters will no longer be able to use.

"Hey, Clamhawk," you call to the caged cretin. "Is that reeeeeeally big one yours?" You point to the giant ship with a picture of a half-bird, half-fish creature on the side. Clamhawk's panic is more than a satisfactory answer.

"We'll take it!" you shout. The girls scamper aboard, and you wave good-bye to everyone as you enter.

*VVOOO* The ship's three giant rockets warm up

*WOOOOM* The ship blasts off into space.
