Adam and Alanna were left by Vath once they had all their preparations. Vath left them with bold words.

"Your father advised that you two 'stay ahead of those chases you' but not to leave the star system as he had a plan to save us all."

Vath noticed their visible confusion and left them with it.

As Vath turned to go, Adam grabbed his arm and asked for a weapon.

"You only become a pilot on this planet, Terran" Vath turns and grabs Adams arm back so that they are interlinked"when you source your own weapon."

They hold eye contact and Adam nods.

As they release one another, Alanna starts speaking as Vath leaves them on Crater Island.

"My jumpship can take us to Anthorann in the next hour or so" Alanna is cut off.

"Before we leave the planet," Adam fixes his belt and jetpack "I need to source a weapon."

Alanna takes a breath.

"Sure," she puts her hands on her hips "where did you have in mind?"

As they are flying to one of the many ruined cities on Rann, Tarrazon; Adam shares a bit with Alanna. The jumpship going at a speed Adam has never experienced.

"You know our first conversation reminded me of something back on earth." Alanna's silence is her listening "There's this hero called Batman, once on live television he had a conversation with this villain called Harley Quinn."

"Was she also more intelligent than this Man-Bat?"

"Batman, those are two different guys. And I can't speak for Batman's education but Harley was a qualified psychiatrist before she became crazy."

Alanna raises the skin where the eyebrow should be.

"Oh yeah, she's crazy so it was actually like you were Batman and I was Harley in the conversation we had."

Alanna seems angry and starts taking a nosedive towards the water.

In between screams from Adam and the jumpship giving Alanna warning signals, Adam questions what happened.

"We're being shot at, can't you tell?"

Adam sees a bigger ship following and shooting at them, with distinct markings on it. Alanna informs him that these are the Gray Agents: a secret assassination squad working directly for Prince Ragnar.

Alanna struggles to shake the ship. Adam has an idea.

Adam puts on the jetpack and jumps out of the ship to go and attack the bigger ship directly.

Adam has to dodge heat-seeking missiles and is almost caught by the last three in succession but uses that last to blow a hole in the bigger ship for him to enter.

As Adam boards the ship, one of the guards is swept out by the vacuum and Adam disarms the second guard.

As Adam makes his way to the cockpit, he is stopped by a giant man.

"Two-Pounder, guess who's on the ship," the giant says as he approaches Adam "Alanna's little defender. Should I fold him in two or three?"

"I don't particularly care," Two-Pounder says still flying the ship "I just want to shoot this wench down and go home, Dakwa."

Dakwa approaches Adam and the two engage in fisticuffs. Adam is getting nowhere with his swings, they are technically wrong but the strength difference is the problem. Finally Dakwa grabs Adam by the throat but before Adam blacks out, Adam kicks one of Dakwa's knees in and he caves like a house of cards.

"New word," Adam says as he walks over the crippled giant "leg day."

Adam picks up one of the guns laying around and puts it on the base of Two-Pounder's skull.

"Still want to go home?" Adam asks.

"What I said was" Two-Pounder is interrupted by Adam pulling the trigger.

Alanna and Adam both land on the outskirts of Tarrazon in their respective ships. Alanna asks if he had a problem killing the Gray Agents.

"I'll protect you no matter what I have to do."
