Part 19: Escape from Titan
Lizzie and Vincent are running towards the front gates of the base. As they run, they are dodging laser from the assassination squad firing at them from outside the base. The duck under a table and use it as a shield.
"We gotta get outta here!" Lizzie yells.
"No shit! Any ideas on how?!" Vincent asks.
As the lasers fire overhead, Lizzie notices that one of them is standing by a fuel cell. Lizzie points towards its direction, which Vincent notices.
"You sure it's safe?" Vincent asks.
"For them? No. This will give us a gap to work with. It'll get us outta here before the base collapses on us." Lizzie explains.
"On my count. 3... 2... 1... NOW!" Lizzie shouts.
The pair of them stand up and fire their weapons at the fuel cell. As the fuel cell gets red hot, several of the assassins begin to run away from it. Vincent fires one last shot, and the cell ruptures, creating a massive fireball. At least half of the attackers are now immobilized from the explosion. Lizzie and Vincent duck back behind the table to avoid the explosion. When they lift their heads up and notice a gap for them to make their way outside.
"You're a genius, and that's what I love about you." Vincent states.
"There'll be time for lovin' later. Let's get the hell outta here." Lizzie quips.
The pair jump out the window and manage to duck and cover when the remaining attackers continue to fire back at them. As they fire back at them, several of the attackers begin to enter the almost destroyed base in an attempt to flank them, which Vincent is able to notice.
"Think we got enough fire power to bring down the house?" Vincent asks. Lizzie then checks her ammo and the building structural integrity.
"Bet your ass we do." Lizzie smirks, aiming her weapons towards the roof.
Vincent follows suit and the two begin to unload until the roof collapses and crushes everyone inside the base. Lizzie and Vincent survey the area, noting that there only one remaining, a sniper standing by Lizzie's and Vincent's ship, both of which are near total destruction.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Vincent asks.
"You wanna sneak up on him?" Lizzie asks.
"Oh hell, no. He's a sniper, we can't sneak up on him. I'm thinking fuck our ships, they're toast. Let's just unload, blow the ships up and escape in one of their ships and head to the Mothership to help out the Squad in taking down the rest of Galactic." Vincent corrects.
"Yeah that works good for me." Lizzie quips.
"Just making sure we're in agreement." Vincent quips back.
The two proceed with their decision. They unload on their ships, knowing they can't use them for an escape anyway. The ships both explode, taking care of the sniper. Lizzie then takes a pair of binoculars and surveys the area, seeing no threats around that they need to take care of.
"Alright, now let's get in that ship. We gotta help the Squad. If they found us, I wouldn't surprised if they found them." Lizzie states.
"Well let's get going." Vincent and Lizzie both start gather materials they might need and begin to walk towards the ship.
When they get into the ship, Vincent begins putting their supplies away as Lizzie fires up the ship.
Unfortunately, a hidden assassin sneaks out of a compartment and begins to lunge at Vincent with a knife.
"VINCENT LOOK OUT!" Lizzie shouts, giving Vincent a heads up. Instead of being stabbed in the back, Vincent manages to get one of his sage arms severed. The assail then kicks him down and prepares to finish him off. Lizzie then runs up and tackles the would be assassin.
"You're fools for thinking you could stop..." Before the assassin can finish what he has to say, Lizzie wraps one of her tentacles around the aliens neck and snaps it. She then turns her attention to Vincent, who is wounded but still willing to stand.
"Sweetheart, are you okay?" A concerned Lizzie asks.
"I'm good. This'll heal back. I'm just glad you warned me. This isn't what's important. We gotta get outta here." Vincent says, calming Lizzie down.
"If you say so."
Lizzie then straps into the pilot's chair, and Vincent straps into the co-pilots chair. The ship takes off and heads to the Mothership.
