Outside the shuttle Holly had reached the circuit box. It was a mess of wires and gizmos and lights. Just looking at it gave her a headache. She stared at if for a few moments.

"All right, Foaly, which is it?" she said clearly into her helmet.

"Hmmm. Hold on a sec." More tapping on the computer. "Ok, you need to cut the alarm first, then the service door lock, and then the cargo bay lock."

"You stupid pony how the hell is she suppose to know which is which!"

Oh good, thought Holly, the Commander finally arrived.

"Well if you'd let me finish, Commander..." Foaly retorted.

"If I let you finish, she still probably wouldn't know what you were talking about!"

"GENTLEMEN!" cut in Holly, "We have a job to do. Now Foaly please tell me which three wires they are."

"Ok, Hols. Cut the green wire next to the fiberglass fuel booster." Pause. "THE GREEN LIGHT IN THE GLASS BUBBLE!"

"Ok," said Holly, cutting the green wire next to the green light with her pliers. "One down two to go."

"Ok, cut the red wire that's tangled in that bunch of blue wires. Be sure not to cut any of the blue wires. They could explode the whole ship and this terminal to smithereens."

"Gotcha," said Holly, as she brought her pliers to the group of wires. It was easier said then done. The blue wires seemed to be attached to the red wire. Sweat started to bead on her forehead as she tried to get the red wire by itself. Finally, she did it and cut the red wire. That took ten minutes by its self but luckily there was no sign of a new shot from inside the shuttle. "Whew" she breathed. "Two down, one to go."

"Good. The third wire is that purple one it's the only purple one in the whole bunch. You see it?"

"Yes I see it." Said Holly clipping it in two. "All three down."

Oops. Station, twenty feet from the shuttle.

"Alright now, Holly?" asked the Commander.

"Yes I'm fine, sir."

"Okay then, this is the hard part. Go in through the service hatch. It's going to be a tight fit but your small so I think you'll make it." He was looking at schematics of the shuttle.

Trouble was also at the Oops. Station. He had almost lost it when Holly had almost cut a blue wire instead of the red one. But, as usual she pulled through. She always did. He was so worried though. How could he have let her go? He should have made her not go. H should have gone. He would have, had he not been Captain of Retrieval One, The best Retrieval team in Recon. He watched the screen with terror. That is until the Commander turned to him.

"Captain, get your squad ready. I want them ready to move on my word, Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" said Trouble as professionally as he could at the moment. Then, he left.

Inside the Cargo bay of the Shuttle

Holly looked around. She couldn't see a single thing. I was pitch black inside the cargo bay. She reached up and turned on her helmet light and came face to face with a pile of luggage. She almost fell over backward.

"Are you alright?" asked Foaly.

"Yes," she whispered, "I just got a little scared."

"Don't worry so much." Said Foaly. "I'm on your side."

That was a comforting thought, but then again Foaly doesn't have to climb into this shuttle and take down five goblins armed with softnoses.

Which way to the door, Foaly." She asked.

"About ten feet to your right, then five to your left."

Holly climbed over stacks of luggage for about ten feet then turned left for about five feet. When she go to the door it was blocked by more luggage. She began to dig it out. That alone took about twenty minutes. Finally, she dug it out.

"Foaly, is the coast clear."

"Yes, for some reason two goblins have their backs to the door, two are in the cockpit, and one's down for the count."

"Okay, I'm going in." and she opened the door.

Outside the Shuttle, Retrieval team One get ready

Trouble was giving his squad directions.

"We are going to spread out, start with one on the left going in numerical order to the right down to twelve on that side. I'll place myself between six and seven. Then, when the word is given we are going to stalk toward the door. When it's opened will make a dash for it? Any Questions?"

One Corporal raised his hand.

"Troubs, What exactly are we suppose to do when were inside?" said Grub Kelp.

Trouble went red, almost as red as the Commander.

"Don't call me 'Troubs' it's Trouble, and you will address me as Captain Kelp. Got It?"

"But mummy said..."

"I DON'T CARE WHAT THE HELL MUM SAID! When we're at work I'm Captain Kelp and that's that!"

Grub mumbled something that sounded a lot like "I'm going to tell". Then when Trouble asked him what he said he replied, "Oh, nothing, CAPTAIN KELP."

Trouble glared at him for a second then addressed the troops as a hole again.

"What we are supposed to do once inside is take down any remaining goblins and get the hostages out."

"Isn't that what Captain Short is suppose to do?" asked Corporal Four.

"No," answered Trouble, "She is suppose to take out any goblins in the way of the door and open the door, that's it. Now get ready squad. The word will come any minute now."

Inside the shuttle

Holly looked around. Everyone had his or her backs towards the front of the ship. She set her Neutrino 2000 to four just to be safe, , then plugged two shots into the backs of the too goblin guards. A few women gasped but that was it really. Holly but a finger up to her mouth so they would stay quiet and made her way towards the door. She took one step and almost fell over Private Keith Pronghorn and the other women who was still unconscious. She knelt down and checked their vitals.

"Pronghorn's dead, and the woman's unconscious but alive. She has a big cut in her arm though. Her magic seemed to fix that up a bit."

"Ok, Captain," said Root "We'll get her out immediately out when we get in. Go open the door."

Holly moved towards the door as she past scared faces looked at her, and as she made it to the door she saw the smoky remains of Gouf. She quickly opened the door and said "Captain Kelp your free to move in."

Trouble and his squad moved his forces towards the shuttle, then, suddenly they stop.

"Holly get the hell out of there!" Trouble yelled and he dashed forward.

Holly was about to turn around when she felt a slimy hand grab her and a cold metallic thing press against her next.
