On our way to find Saya and Merlin, we came across one Wraith Drone. It shot at us, but Zorro pushed me down, so it missed. Zorro, however, charged at the Drone, attacked it with his sword, somehow managed to disarm the Drone, then stabbed his sword through its mask, killing it. But as soon as this one was down, more arrived. Zorro readied himself to face them, but I knew he wouldn't last very long. I rolled toward the dead Drone's gun, picked it up, and fired at the other Wraith. One shot didn't seem to do much damage, but it did look like whoever I hit felt the shot. So I kept firing until some of them went down. As one fell, Zorro reached for that Drone's gun, and started firing himself. With two of us firing, several more Wraith Drones were falling down, but they were still coming. At least, it looked that way, until I heard one explosion at the back, and one Wraith fell. This distracted all the others, giving Zorro and me a chance to shoot them all down. Only when there weren't any more Wraith in the way, could we see the man who shot the Wraith at the back.
"Corporal Reyes?" Zorro asked.
"Senior Zorro?" he replied, striking a higher pitch than the Reyes I saw before could, "How did you get in here?"
"You are the real Reyes, aren't you?" Zorro needed some confirmation.
"What do you mean?" he looked baffled at the question, "Who else would I be?"
Zorro looked at me, smiling: "It's the real one."
"Who is he?" Reyes asked.
"Never mind him." Zorro said, "Did you see one little girl with a sword, accompanied by a young man?"
"You mean Sarah and Martin?" I cringed when I heard him getting their names wrong, "Yes, they're back here with other soldiers."
"Take us to them."
"Yes, Senior Zorro." he replied, and started running.
We followed him, and found ourselves in another corridor. Here, it was obvious that the Wraith were more interested in what was in front of them, not behind them. So they were easily taken down by the three of us. And even if they eventually realized they were attacked from behind, by focusing on us, they lost sight of the others. It didn't take long before they were defeated by us, and until we were reunited with Saya and Merlin, and a number of people, most of whom looked like soldiers.
"You freed the people." Zorro told them.
"You took care of Kyrano?" Merlin asked.
"He got away." Zorro replied.
"Stop wasting time!" Saya told us, "Run!"
She lead the way before any of us could ask what was going on.
"Don't ask, just go." Merlin said, and we all followed her.
On our way, we ran into a number of Wraith. But with each one that we took down, Saya seemed to grow more impatient. She picked one nobleman among the people we just rescued.
"How much more time?"
The nobleman took a look at his fob watch: "Fifty minutes."
"We need more time than that." Merlin said.
"More time for what?"
"To get out before this building explodes." one of the soldiers explained.
"Then why are we still wasting time here?" the nobleman asked, "Let's run."
"You don't understand." Saya growled at him, "Even if we continue running, we won't make it in time."
"What made those Wraith all attack at once?" Merlin wondered.
Zorro and I looked at each other. This was what the Hood meant earlier. The Wraith had gone out of control, so they started attacking everybody that didn't belong on the ship. If they didn't, we would have had more time to escape.
"There may be another way out." Murphy told us, and shortly after that, we felt a tremor.
"What was that?" the nobleman wondered.
Another tremor came, and Saya knew where it came from: "It's coming from beyond this wall."
"That must be a heavy canon, to cause a building to shake like that." Reyes said.
We felt another tremor, somewhat stronger than before.
"It has to be Murphy." Saya said, "He said the ship's lasers aren't strong enough to blow up a ship, but it has to be powerful enough to shoot holes through the hull.
The next one felt too close for comfort.
"Everyone, step back!" Saya called at us.
"Do as she says!" Merlin shouted at everyone.
I helped them getting everyone to take a few steps back. And sure enough, the wall exploded. Through the hole in the wall, we could see several more holes, all the way to a door to Murphy's ship. I stepped through the first hole, and motioned to everyone to follow.
"Go on, follow him!" Merlin exclaimed to everyone.
As I ran, I could hear others coming after me. They seemed very eager to get out, but once we were inside Murphy's ship, they seemed afraid of taking one more step.
"He's friendly." Zorro told them, "Now make room for others!"
As more and more people hurried into the ship, explosions started to happen in the corridors. I began to fear they wouldn't make it into the ship in time. Reyes was the last one to come aboard. As he ran, fires seemed to surround him. But despite his idiocy, he was a soldier, and therefor had the bravery to jump through the fires. Either that, or he was too stupid to know that fires hurt him. In any case, when he jumped into the ship, Murphy flew off. And from a distance, we could see the entire Wraith-ship blow to smithereens.
