Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. I enjoy reading them. Another fun chapter.

"Now I'm scared," Devon said out loud, as she grabbed onto Harper's arm. "We have to get out of here."

"You're right," Harper answered her, as he pulled her into an alley way away from the running crowd. "Let's just do it in a safe way."

"Safe way?"

"By getting to the Maru before getting trampled by the people running from the Magog or attacked by the Magog."

"Oh, that sounds like a rather smart idea."

"Right. This way." He then began to lead her away from the Magog.

"How do you know that this is the way to the Maru?"

"Because I just do."

"Okay." Harper turned a corner and a man slammed into Devon causing her to loose her grip on Harper. "Harper?" The man ushered her in front of him, as he ran from the Magog. "Harper!"

"Devon?" Harper called out as he turned around to find her gone. "Ah, no. Rhade, I lost Devon."

"Good going Harper," Rhade answered. "Find her. Or we're going to have to answer to Trance for losing her."

The darkness had gone from the sun, showing the Magog among the inhabitants of the planet. When they first saw them, they panicked and took off running. Devon finally was able to get away from the man who had taken her from Harper. She then found a nice dark place to hide, waiting for Harper to find her.

A strong hand touched her on her shoulder, causing her to jump and she quickly turned around to face Rhade. "Rhade?" she called out, as she threw herself at him. "You found me."

"Rhade!' Harper called out to him, as he came up behind them. "Oh, god, you found Devon. Boy am I glad to see you, Devon."

"I didn't mean to get lost. That man just grabbed me and forced me to run. I couldn't get away."

"It's okay," Harper said, as he looked around. "Can we get out of here now? I really don't want to come face to face with a Magog."

"Like that one," Devon said as she pointed behind them, causing Harper turn to see a Magog heading in their direction.

"Yeah, like that one." Harper and Rhade pulled out their weapons and fired on the Magog, killing it. "Now, my dear, let's go. Stay close this time and try not to get lost."

"I promise that I will not try to get lost." Devon stayed close to Rhade as they headed off in the direction of the Maru. "Why are the Magog here?"

"I don't know. I don't really feel like going up to them and asking them."

"But if we asked them, then we would know."

"It doesn't work that way." They turned a corner to see a Magog harvesting on a young woman. "That's why?" Harper shot the Magog. "They don't really listen to those who they think are going to be their next meal."

"I do not want to be one of their next meals."

"Then we should hurry," Rhade said, as he ushered them into motion again. "There will be more Magog."

"This can't get any worse," Harper said, as he took another corner only to slam into a body. "Or I could get worse." He looked up to see a group of very angry people. "What can we do for you guys?"

"You brought them here," the leader yelled at them, as the group of angry people starting to surround them. "They are after that one." He pointed at Devon, causing her to back away and step closer to Rhade. "Hand her over and we'll let you live."

"I don't think so," Rhade said, as he moved in front of Devon. "She's coming with us."

"Then we have no other choice but to kill you both and take the girl. Get her." The group then started to attack them, only to pause when a new body joined in the fight. Devon soon found Rommie next to her. The leader turned to see Dylan standing behind him. "This is not your fight."

"But it is," Dylan said, as he came up to the leader. "You see, those three are members of my crew. You mess with them, you mess with me."

"Fine, kill them too." The fight started again, and the leader took a swing at Dylan, only to have him hit him.

Devon was grabbed by one of the men, and she started to kick at him, trying to free herself. "I've got her boss," he yelled at the leader, only to be knocked down by Rhade and Rommie.

"No, you don't," Rommie said to him, as Rhade helped Devon up off the ground. It only took about another five minutes to either beat the remaining men or scare them off.

"Hey, Boss," Harper said to Dylan, as he came up to him. "You didn't trust that I could get the parts on my own?"

"No, Harper, we didn't know if you could handle the Magog on your own," Dylan said, as they looked around. "We need to get back to the Andromeda."

"Sounds like a great plan." They then headed off in the direction of the Maru to see the slip fighter Dylan and Rommie had used to come down in. "Let's get out of here." They entered the Maru and soon were back aboard the Andromeda. "That was an interesting trip." Rhade rolled his eyes at Harper's remark.
