Thump.

Thump.

The footsteps grew closer.

I stopped and readied my duel disk.

I wouldn't give up without a fight.

"Stop right there!"

Two fusion soldiers stepped in front of me.

"Surrender the children or else." They demanded.

"Never!" I screamed.

"So he's a feisty one, eh?" one of them said.

"Doesn't matter, let's finish him and wrap up this job." The other replied.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of me.

"Huh, Kurt?" I asked confused.

"Oh, so it was you. Well, you better get along now. Oh, and take care of the kids for me, will ya?" Kurt absentmindedly stated, "I'll take care of them, you better hurry up and make it to the ship!"

"B But…" I stuttered

"No Buts. Go!" Kurt responded.

Sigh… There was no arguing with him when he set his mind to something. So, I quickly herded up the children and ran off to the ship.
