The next morning, i got up really early, got showered and dressed. Today i decided to wear a pair of black skinny jeans with a silver studded belt., a dark grey hooded jumper with thumb hole, over a black string strap t-shirt, a pair of loosely tied boots, and a black leather jacket. I decided not to put me my Dragon ear cuff in my left ear but still put 10 earrings in my other ear. The old chain on my necklace broke a couple of days ago so i've replaced it for a longer one. After tucking my necklace into my jumper, i put my contacts in and grabbed a hairband. Honestly a few months ago i hated having my hair up but i'm starting to really like it. Also my natural color has started growing through again, so at some point i will need to dye my blood red roots sapphire again. As i walked to meet Thran i tied my hair up with two pieces of hair hanging down either side of my face. I met Thran in one of the study rooms, we went over the plans once more before he gave me an earpiece to stay in touch. I found the nearest vent and then headed up despite Thran trying to convince me not to.

After an hour of going in what felt like circles i said

"Thran how long to the opening I'm starting to get cramp"

"There should be a duct a few metres ahead of you"

"I don't see it" the second i said that i fell through the dect and landed on my shoulder. I then said

"Found it" before Thran responded, i saw a pair of dark grey boots in front of me. I looked up and saw Sonny Blackbones.

"Sonny Blackbones"

"Alex, what did you say"

"You wouldn't believe me if i told you sonny blackbones was stood right in front of me would you?"

"You must have hit your head"

"WHy do i bother" Sonny helped me up and then said

"I'd like to stay and chat, Kid. But i'm in a bit of a situation"

"Alex, is that Sonny Blackbones" i was about to respond when the nearby access hatch opened revealing 2 technoidroids.

"Thran, what's the quickest way out of here"

"Straight down that corridor and take a left and then a right" i turned to sonny and said

"This way" i started to run from the robots and Sonny followed.

When we got outside we didn't stop running until we were cut off by 3 more droids coming from other direction. The droids from behind us but before i could say anything, Sonny wrapped his arm around me and said

"Hold on tight, Kid" he fired a grappling hook across to the other side of the building. We jumped off the ledge and swung across. When we landed we both ran to the elevator. When the lift started moving i said

"Did you tell me that your ship is waiting on the other side of Akillian" he looked at me and said

"Yes it is. Can i ask you something?"

"Sure"

"You don't seemed one bit phased by the fact we're running from technoid. In fact you seem to be enjoying it. Have you done something like this before"

"I got into some trouble a few years back. I was arrested, but nothing could ever beat that rush of adrenaline, you know"

"Nothing beats it" he looked at me for a little longer until i said

"Is there something else?"

"No, sorry. You just look like someone i knew a long time ago" there was then a loud 'clank'. I looked down and saw the droids climbing up the elevator shaft. I then said

"Sounds like your friends from technoid decided not to wait for the elevator" we soon reached the top and started running again. Man, if D'jok knew what i was doing he'd kill me. After everything that happened with Uma i said i'd stop getting into bad situations. Oh well, it's a good thing he's not here then. Anyway when we ran out of the building, i dug through the snow and got our Magnet boards out. I picked one up turned to Sonny and said

"Do you know how to use one of these"

"What other choice is there" i handed him one and we were soon boarding down the mountain.

As we were going down Thran said

"Alex what are you doing"
"Magnet Boarding, Man. the snow is phenomenal today" the droids then caught up and started shooting at us.

"Alex whats that noise"

"Nothing serious Thran, just a couple of Technodroids shooting at us. I then faintly heard D'joks voice

"What the?" when we reached the bottom of the mountain i said

"PLease tell me this is where your ship is supposed to show up and save the day"

"This is it" seconds later a large ship came up out of the snow

"Cool"

The hatch opened and 3 pirates were stood there, i then said

"I suppose that coming along with you would be asking too much" before he responded he was yelled out in pain, he got shot in the back by a droid. I yelled out

"Sonny!" he fell to his knees and said

"I'm hit" i helped him up just as the other pirates started firing back. Someone else ran out of the ship and helped take him into the ship. The guy was wearing a large winter coat, had a cap on and one metal eye, he then said.

"This way quick" seconds after getting on the ship it was moving.

Whilst on the ship Sonny was taken to somewhere to rest, and my shoulder really started hurting. I held my arm close to my chest as i went to see if sonny was okay. The one eyed guy was with him, i walked over saying

"How is he"

"He doesn't look to good but as he likes to say, he'll pull through. Anyway thanks for our help kid you probably saved his life"

"That remains to be seen" i then moved my shoulder and my face must have shown some signs of pain, he then asked

"Have you hurt your shoulder"

"I landed on it funny when i was crawling through the vents. It's nothing i've had worse"

"If it's still hurting when we get to our destination, we could get it looked at"

"Thank. Can i ask where we're headed"

"You've never heard of it. If you want to rest, there's a free bed there"

"Thanks" he then left. When he was gone i sat on the bed and took my jacket off. I then lied back on the bed and enjoyed the trip, i guess.
