A/N: Okay, yeah, slow going, but hey, I've gotten further this time than my last attempt, I believe xD

Also, yes, I know the battles are different, and I skipped dialogue. I am trying to keep it somewhat different from the game anyhow, otherwise it's just a retelling -shrugs-


As the Leingod brothers and Sophia arrived at the evacuation routing facility, they found that the halls were clogged with the many other families and employees who were at the hotel as the attack began. At the end of the line, however, they quickly spotted Robert and Ryoko, running up to them calling out to them as they reach them.

"Thank goodness you're all safe," Ryoko said, relief shining in her eyes as she grabbed one arm of each of her children.

"What's going on, dad?" Fayt asked his father, "Who would attack a resort planet?"

"I know that they weren't any kind of Aldian Battleships that I've ever seen in school," Destiny added as he turned thoughtful, however, before he was able to add anything else, a door at the other end of the long hallway blasted out of it's frame, and an unknown group of alien soldiers stormed through.

"So, it's as I thought," Robert said to Ryoko, who nodded with a worried look.

"What do you mean, dad?" Fayt asked, concern evident on his face.

"No, nothing, let's get going," Robert said, shaking his head, "You must all stick together and stay safe."

"Damn, how'd they get in here?" A federation officer muttered, then turned to the civilians, "Hurry, the transporter is up ahead!"

The officer was joined by a handful of others and they began to fire shots at the alien soldiers, only to get shot down by the enemy before they could even manage to take a single soldier down.

"Damn, they're getting away!" The apparent leader of the alien soldiers yelled, then he turned to one of the others, "Send in the Incapacitators."

Another door along the long hallways blasted out of it's frame, and a multitude of four-legged machines sped out towards the group of civilians. Ryoko looked and Robert, worry plain in her eyes, and they both nodded to each other.

"Hurry ahead, boys, and keep Sophia with you," Robert said, as he and Ryoko paused in the hall, "You must keep each other safe, no matter what."

"What are you talking about?" Fayt asked, wondering why his parents were stopping, "We have to keep going."

"Go, we'll distract some of them, go!" Robert yelled, as he grabbed a bit of scrap metal and began luring some of the Incapacitators away, "We'll meet up at the Evacuation Facility, now go!"

"But..." Fayt started, but Destiny and Sophia cut him off by dragging him away.

"You heard your father," Sophia said, pulling at his arm, "We'll meet up later, but we have to get going now."

Destiny hurried and grabbed a few other pieces of metal conduit handing the shorter pieces to the others, keeping a longer one that reminds him of his weapon from the virtual gaming he and his brother play often.

"Come on, Fayt," Destiny says, experimentally spinning the conduit in his hands, getting the feel for it, "We may have to fight our way out of here, but we will get to the Evacuation Facility, and we'll find our parents afterward, I believe it in my heart. We have to leave here, now, however, if we are to do that," he added, as he began to head off in the direction that the federation officer had pointed out earlier.

True to his prediction, as they headed into the next section of the halls leading to the transporter, a group of four Incapacitators burst out of a door behind them and began shooting in their direction, forcing them to dodge to the sides. Without realizing it, Fayt and Destiny, both, fell into the pattern they tended to follow when they battled side-by-side in their battle simulations.

"Fayt, take the ones in the front," Destiny called, slamming his make-shift staff down in front of him, "I'll support you from here."

Blue rings began to circle Destiny as he raised his staff in front of himself once more, his eyes glowing a little brighter with the light reflected from the rings. He flung his staff forward, "Fire Bolt!" he called out, shooting two fireballs out of the tip of the conduit-staff, launching them at the two Incapacitators at the back of the enemy group, hitting them square in their 'heads', causing them to shut down. Directly after those two go down, Fayt managed to smash both of the Incapacitators that he is fighting in their 'heads' in two back-to-back swings.

Before they could even think of celebrating their victory, a new group of Incapacitators came from the same door that the others had burst through.

"More of them?" Sophia asked, groaning, "Why are they trying to get us so badly?"

"We'll worry about that later," Fayt said, getting into a battle stance once again, "After we've defeated these things."

"Right," Sophia nodded, then twirled the rod-like conduit in her hands, channeling a sphere of pure symbological energy, "Take this!" She yelled and released the sphere at the nearest Incapacitator, whose 'head' short-circuited causing it to collapse like all the previous ones.

"Fire Bolt!" Destiny called out once more, blasting another two, giving Fayt room to charge at the final Incapaciator in the group.

Not giving their enemies a chance to catch the unaware again, the group took off in their target direction. They made their way down the hallway a few more yards before they heard the tell-tale clanking of another group if Incapacitators, a group larger than the last, gaining on them. When they turned around to face the enemy group, they were met with an odd sight; one of the circus workers that Sophia and Fayt had met before disabling an Incapacitator with a single stomp.

"We need to get a move on, guys," a girl sitting on the larger circus worker's shoulders called out, "It's a disaster back that way, and they're on their way here already."

"What? Mom and Dad are back that way!" Fayt yelled and began to turn back to where they came from.

"Stop it Fayt," Destiny said, grabbing his brother's arm, "They told us to go on ahead. Look, I'm worried about them too, but we didn't come this far just to turn around and get killed or captured when Mom and Dad told us to keep each other safe."

"Destiny's right," Sophia said, nodding, "Uncle Robert and Aunty Ryoko told us to go, they knew what they were doing, I believe that."

Fayt shook his head, trying to come to terms with what he was being told. Sighing, he stopped struggling against the others, and he set his face into a stern visage.

"Right, we move forward," He said, his voice low and serious, "Later, we will find them again, we just have to believe it."

They, as a group, made it the rest of the way to the transporter without incident and stepped in together. In a flash, they arrived at the evacuation facility and were greeted by a federation soldier.

"Welcome to Iruba Shelter 5," he said, "You three have been assigned room 506," he added looking at the Leingod brothers and Sophia, "And you two are with the rest of your troupe in 509. You all have free range of the facility, but some areas may be restricted for safety reasons, please refer to the nearest console or officer for further details. Transport will arrive shortly, please wait patiently."

"Right, 506," Fayt said tiredly, "Let's go."

Bowing to the others, Destiny and Sophia followed Fayt in leaving the transporter room. A decal on the wall in front of them show them that the room they are looking for would be on the left, thus they headed in that direction, arriving at room 506 shortly afterward.

"Let's rest up for now," Destiny suggested, seeing that the room is empty aside from themselves, "We'll need to be ready when the transport comes."

"Yeah, I'm beat," Sophia said, nearly stumbling to the bed on the middle of the right side of the room. Laying down, she pulled the top sheet up until it almost covers her entire face, "Can you stay here until I fall asleep, Fayt?"

"Sure thing," Fayt said, sitting on the bed near Sophia's, only closer to the door, "Just get some sleep,"

"Thanks," Sophia replied, already half-asleep.

"I'll get some sleep now too," Destiny said, "Don't stay up too long worrying about Mom and Dad, they'll be fine, I just know it."

"Right," Fayt said, and laid back on the bed he was sitting on, "We just have to have faith in them."

"Yep," Destiny ended the conversation by yawning and turning over, falling asleep nearly instantly.
