More Magog fighting.

"Is it dead?" Devon asked Harper as they stood over the dead Magog. "Rhade did get it didn't he?"

"Yeah, he got it for sure," Harper said, as he shot it in the head just to make sure. "Now, it's dead." Another Magog jumped at them, and Harper shot at it, missing it completely. "Damn it."

"Harper," Devon cried out, as she pointed behind her, and he turned to get plowed to the floor. "Sorry."

"It's okay." Harper threw the Magog back off of him and shot it in the head. "One more down." He got to his feet and his face fell as he looked at Devon. "Devon, behind you." She spun around to have a Magog grab her neck and start to choke her. "Devon!"

"Devon!" Trance yelled, as she rushed to her help. "Let her go." Devon's eyes grew white in fear as it tightened its grip on her. Just then Beka and Rhade were there. "Help her."

"On it," Beka said, as Rhade grabbed onto the Magog's arm and broke its grip on Devon. She fell to the floor gasping for air and Harper quickly pulled her back to safety. It only took Beka and Rhade a few shots to take down the Magog. "You guys okay?"

"Other than that horrible creature trying to kill me," Devon answered. "We're good."

"Are there anymore?" Trance asked them, as she looked at the Magog.

"Nope, we got the other ones." Devon twitched her tail as she looked around. "What is it?"

"There's one more," she said, as it jumped out at her and she jumped back. "See." It fell down dead as Harper, Trance, Beka, and Rhade fired at it. "And now it's dead." She then turned to face them. "I need to learn how to fight."

"We'll teach you," Trance answered her, as she came up and slipped her arm around the girl's shoulder.

The Andromeda slipped into Slip Stream and they all looked around. "Brian!" Beka yelled, as they ran for the command deck. "What are you doing? They came to a stop when they saw Brian on the floor with a Magog piloting the ship. "Oh, that explains it."

"He's not supposed to be here," Devon said, as she went up to the Magog. "He's taking us back to that horrible place, where they are more of his horrible kind."

"It seems like that," Rhade said, as she turned to face them with extreme fear in her eyes. "Don't worry, we're going to live through his."

"That's not what I'm worried about." They came back to normal space and there was the World Ship again. "I'm worried about that."

"Okay, buddy, you're done," Harper called out to the Magog as it jumped at him, only have it fall down dead as Rommie and Dylan shot it as they came onto the command deck. "Hey, Rommie, nice timing."

"Beka, get us the hell out of here," Dylan snapped at her, as she took up the controls. "I don't want to have to deal with these guys again in one day."

"Dylan, there are ships coming," Rommie informed him, causing him to look up to see five dozen assault ships heading their way. "I count five dozen."

"Talk about over kill," Harper said, as Devon came over to stand between him and Rhade. "They always go for the over kill."

"Rommie, fire away." Andromeda then fired her anti protein missiles, taking out two dozen. "Beka!"

"I'm on it." She opened a slip stream and they entered it. "Here we go."

"Are they coming after us?" Devon asked Rommie.

"Yeah, they are?"

"Can we loose them?"

"Yes, we can." They exited Slip Stream near Devon's star. "But only if you can help us."

"How can I help you?"

"Make yourself flare."

"Are you nuts? I can't do that."

"Yes, you can," Trance said to her, as she came up to her side. "I will help you. It's the only way."

"Okay, I'll try."
