TS1 Forces Your Hand

"Men!" Val-Yor orders to the few conscious officers. "Get the others and our ship out of here!"

The officers obey, carrying the injured and immobile to the ship.

"Where do we go?" Blackfire asks.

You look around. There are mountains in the distance, at the beginning of the river.

"Follow me!"

*WHOOSH* You fly off to the left, above the white-leaved trees.

*WHOOSH WOOSH* The others fly behind you.

"So, what's the plan?" Val-Yor asks.

"We need to get as far away from TS1 as we can while staying on this planet. They're only interested in us, so it is best to go somwhere empty in order to keep others from getting harmed."

"Then why didn't we just fly into space?" Flashfire asks.

"Their ship is fast, and its outer shell is tough. We three would be at a much bigger disadvantage," you say, looking at the girls. "And even with Val-Yor's ship fighting along side us, what good would it do? One lucky shot from their ship, and Val-Yor would be gone. Face-to-face is our best shot at winning."

You arrive at the foot of the mountain, and don't even see the TS1 ship.

You land at the foot of the mountain, where a large waterfall pours into the river.

"Where are they?" you wonder out loud. "They should've been only a few seconds behind us."

"They better not be going after MY ship!" Val-Yor growls.

"Wait, I can just see it!" Flashfire exclaims, still in the air. "But, it's not coming closer. It's headed to the Mauvians' camp site!"

"No!" Blackfire yells. "Nuh!"

Blackfire flies up.

"Damn cowards are going to threaten innocent lives," Val-Yor says.

"We need to fight them!" Flashfire says.

"No, fighting them there is exactly opposite of what Saffire wants," Blackfire answers.

"But they aren't giving us much choice by going after your friends," Val-Yor points out.

"Well, then what do we do?" Flashfire asks.
