Snow lay sprawled on the ground, while everyone else on hanging edge came from above him; he looked around and saw Gadot appear in front of him. He offered his hand for Snow to take, helping him up.

Thanks, Gadot.

You're welcome; I can't believe that happened.

Me neither, but right now, we're going to find someplace safer than here.

Alright boss, let's get moving!

Snow and Gadot traveled together; they came across Guardian Corps soldiers. Snow counted four, then gave the signal to attack. Gadot went forward and fired three shots, killing three of them and leaving one standing.

You ba-

Shut up!

Let's take him down, Gadot!

Bring it, you inmates!

Gadot and Snow fought the unarmed soldier; they struggled pretty hard, but in the end, they both won. Gadot looked at the downed soldier, while Snow started working on the ship.

They may seem weak without a weapon, but they can certainly fight.

Well, what did you expect? They aren't regular civilians like us.

...Fair point, boss.

Gadot, Ser-

I know, go to her, I'll go to everyone else.

Snow fixed the ship right up, and Gadot got on the other one, which turned out to be a flying motorcycle, and he flew it off while Snow went somewhere else.

Hope was trying to conceal his emotions, but from his perspective, he saw Snow letting his mother (Nora) go and the girl who had dragged him away coming to comfort him.

Are you okay?

No, what made you drag me away?

I didn't want you to die.

...Thank you, but my mom, she's-

Hope felt a tear wanting to fall, but he wiped it instantly before the girl patted him on the shoulder; then she got an idea.

Do you want to go on a trip with me?

A trip?

Yeah, a trip.

Yes, in fact, I do not want to be here anymore.

The girl saw the anger on Hope's face; she nodded in understanding. The screen went to black and then returned to the scene of them revealing their outfits and faces.

Your name is Hope, right?

Yes.

My name is Vanille.

Hope nodded before following her, Vanille looking inside a small ship meant for one person, but since Hope and Vanille were both short enough, they could travel together.

Do you know how to fly it?

There should be a manual for beginners on how to use it.

Okay.

Hope and Vanille got inside the ship; Hope started reading the manual, and the beginner's page wasn't as long as he thought. Vanille saw how to start it and Hope did too, putting away the manual. He then took a deep breath, putting his hands on the wheel.

Ready?

I-I yes.

Alright, here goes.

Hope clicked the button and watched as it started to glow, causing it to hover. Vanille wrapped her arms around Hope, which caused him to blush, but he shook his head to focus. Gadot saw them.

Hey!

Hope saw Gadot running to stop him and Vanille from leaving; Hope lifted the ship up and Vanille held on tight before they flew off. Gadot stopped in his tracks, Lebreau was shocked at how Hope could fly the thing.

Damn it!

Don't-

I have to worry, Lebreau, those kids are...damn it.

Hope and Vanille successfully flew away together, but suddenly Hope lost control and Vanille tried to help him regain it. The ship stopped and fell...Hope and Vanille screamed in terror.

Lightning and Sazh were still traveling by air when the silver-haired woman heard something approaching them from behind and saw another machine. Lightning drew her gunblade while Sazh jumped up, pulling out his handguns as the machine attacked them.

This thing's different from the others; we fought.

Okay.

It can charge, watch out!

Thanks for the warning!

The machine attack first, Lightning and Sazh began to fight back against it too, it was hard but they managed to win and Lightning looked to Sazh as she smiled, before they continued their quest...
