"We can't keep this up much longer, Blitz!" Shouted Sakura over the din of the asteroids.

"We can try!" He replied, and continued loading rounds into the massive bastions of cannons mounted on the side of his ship – harder than it looks in zero-gravity.

"She's right." Said Nick, level headed as ever. "We're getting pounded out here. And you're going to run out of rounds soon." He gestured to the quickly depleting stack of projectiles.

"Fine!" Blitz snapped. "We'll find the safest place to land and make some quick repairs. We need to get to Sauria soon..."

Eventually, they found a hollow in the side of a large asteroid, and started to fix what was broken. They didn't have much to do it with. It took quite a long time, but they managed to make enough repairs for the ship to be flyable.

The window in the front of the ship illuminated the galley as the Dinosaur Planet loomed into view.

"You're going back then?" Asked Nick, handing Lorna a cup of coffee.

"I won't." She said defiantly. "Hal's my friend, and I won't let him down."

"So..." He swirled the liquid remaining in his own mug round in small circles. "What's your plan?"

Right then, Blitz walked in.

"You'll see." She whispered.

The tall wolf grumbled as he flopped into a chair. "I hope Ross can fix this thing..."

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and went out. The engine sounds slowed, and ceased altogether.

"Ugh!" He cried. "That bloody generator!"

The planet crawled closer. There was a jerk as the ship was pulled into its gravitational field. The ground rushed towards them, the whole ship heating up. The three of them were thrown against a wall.

The massive ship ploughed through the undergrowth, and started to slow. The hatch popped open. Blitz jumped out to inspect the damage. One of the wings had been completely demolished. Several cannons had been smashed. He let out an exasperated sigh. He clambered back into the ship and called to the others that it was safe to come out.

"Do you have ANY idea where we are, Lorna?"

"Be patient, Nick. I need time." She turned around, examining their surroundings. The ship had created a large clearing in the canopy, through which the stars were visible. "That way." She said, at length. "ThornTail Hollow's that way."

"ThornTail Hollow... You think we could find Ross there?" Asked Blitz.

"Hal's Dad?" She replied, "No, he's at Cape Claw... But that's only a bit of a walk from ThornTail Hollow."

"Should we stop to make camp?" Nick said, kicking at a fallen branch.

Lorna shook her head. "Not here, there are RedEyes and SharpClaws everywhere in these woods, and there's virtually nothing to eat."

"And we have no time." Blitz called from ahead of them. He had already set off in the direction that Lorna had indicated.

"I didn't even know Ross had a son." Sakura told Blitz after catching up with him.

"Me neither," He replied, "He didn't tell me much."

Sakura started to laugh, "He thought you were dead."

He shot her a 'you-think-you-know-but-you-don't' sort of look, "No, he didn't."

Her laughter turned to fury "You mean he knew, but I didn't?"

"I didn't have time to tell you. I didn't even have time to tell myself."

She looked bemused "What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you later." He grinned.
