Chapter 10
Why Not (Part 3)
Escape
Dakota awoke about five minutes after being knocked out he looked around and saw the blown-up part of the ship with a few small fires scattered. Dakota was leaning against the wall, only because the ship was falling. Then Dakota realized that he still had to save Emily and Ben.
"Shit!" Dakota stammered as he got up he tried to run down the hall, falling half way. "I'm coming guys. Don't worry." He whispered as he got up and started to run again.
Meanwhile…
"Great! We're dead!" Ben said throw his hands up in the air feeling hopeless.
"No we're not! There's still hope. Dakota might still be alive." Emily said hopefully.
"Yeah sure." Ben said depressed.
Just as Ben finished his sentence, Dakota came busting threw the door. Both Ben and Emily screamed as Dakota fell forward to the wall that they were chained up to (Because the ship was falling sideways). He got up, grabbed the chain Emily was hooked to, and pulled out his gun.
"Hold still." Dakota told Emily as he shot the chain. He quickly grabbed her and jumped up. They landed on the other side of the door and looked back Ben.
Hey! Aren't you going to save me?" Ben yelled trying to pull himself off the wall.
"Why? You think I'm crazy! You non-believer! You will die here!" Dakota yelled as Emily gasped in shock.
"…Dakota…" Ben said tearfully. "I'm sorry."
"I know you are I was just playing with you." Dakota said laughing. He jumped back down and shot the chain Ben was hooked to, and then pulled him up.
"C'mon!" Dakota yelled as he started to run down the hall.
"Dakota! Do you know where you're going?" Emily asked as they ran on the wall of the hall.
"Nope, but that what makes it fun." Dakota replied back.
Soon, they came to a rectangular shattered window in a large room. They looked out and saw the ground about seventy-five feet below them.
"We can make that." Dakota said looking at Ben and Emily.
"Are you crazy? We won't survive that!" Ben yelled at Dakota.
"It's better than blowing up!" Dakota replied back. As they looked back at the window, the ground was getting closer. Dakota grabbed Ben and Emily by their shirts and were about to jump out but, before they could a droid came in and shot Dakota in the back, making them fall out the window. Dakota and the two others landed hard on the ground in the middle of a plain. As they got up they saw the ship coming towards them.
"Duck!" Dakota yelled as the ship came close. They all ducked and saw the huge ship blow up into little pieces.
"We're free!" Dakota exclaimed as he fell back onto the grass.
"Dakota! You're hurt!" Emily said in horror.
"I'm ok but, we do need to get home" Dakota said getting up. "Travis I have them. I need to get picked up." He said into a watch.
"Got it I'll be there in a second." Travis replied through the watch.
"Dakota…what the hell is going on?" Emily asked.
"You'll see in a few minutes." Dakota replied
