"Wish we could," you say, "but we've been fighting almost since we got here. The girls need rest."
"I understand. Fighting for such a noble cause is more than deserving of a good nap." He pats your shoulder, and they move on.
You remeber that dot second closest to the center of the radar.
"Onyx, do you remember how far that one is from here?"
"Yes," she answers.
"Then perhaps you can lead them there."
Onyx tears up, and she hugs you.
"Thank you," she says.
Onyx takes point, and leads her fellow Shadowans towards the Hunter's next base.
The Northern Shadowans use a brilliant formation. They have shapeshifters line the outside of the group, arms morphed into tentacles and hammers. This way, they will protect the others inside from physical attacks. Phaser Shadowans make up a second layer, so that lazer attacks will be redirected through their bodies, away from non-phasers and non-shapeshifters.
"Once we've fully rested," you shout to Onyx and Drusy, "we'll meet up with you at one of the points!"
"Alright," Onyx shouts back, "but chances are, we'll have already finished the job!"
Everyone laughs and smiles, confident in this outcome.
The rest of you pair up, Blackfire carrying Nuh and Flashfire carrying Foxy.
"We'll head back to the mountain," you say, "We can watch the moon set and the lights brighten from up there."
*WHOOSH* The five of you fly back to the ship as the moon touches the horizon.
You make it back to the campsite as the moon lowers a quarter of the way below the horizon.
The five of you land, and your body is sore. Using Blue Explosioin as much as you did against Clamhawk puts strain on your muscles and joints.
You lie down on the fluffy leaf bed and let out a sigh of relief. The moon is almost halfway below the horizon when Blackfire sits next to you.
"Are you hungry?" she asks. She has two yellow Limenous fruits, and has already bitten into one.
"No, just tired," you reply.
"Do you want me to give you a massage?" she asks, taking another bite of yellow Limenous.
