*Flashback*
Hanael, Aleene and I made our way throughout the whole prison facility and finally found him, Vyall San, the traitor who got us captured.
Hanael blasted the guards protecting him with some kind of rays from his hands. And turned to me, " Hurry up and finish him. We gotta catch your flight of this cult planet."
As I took a step forward with a plasma cutter drawn, which I took from one of the knocked out guards, Aleene held my free hand. I turned to look at her and she shook her head.
My armed hand trembled with rage as I turned to look at Vyall cowering on the ground not even begging for mercy but smiling crookedly, "You'll never get off this planet, Muad. I can assure you that." He stood up with a gun in hand. "I hope to meet you all in Reila, star demons." Those were his last words as he shot himself through his head.
"Nice reunion but I don't think he's wrong about your demise if you waste any more time." Hanael loudly stated as he began flying towards the exit.
I dragged Aleene along by her hand as we ran through the hallways.
We made it to the spaceship ports unscathed. Hanael directed us to a vacant highly mobile ship. We got in the air really quick after I took control.
It wasn't long before enemy ships were also in hot pursuit and losing them wasn't an option. It was either we went down or they did.
And I have never lost in aerial battle.

Toni introduces us to the four remaining members of the Maru Eaters.
They consist of three other females and a male.
The first female we get introduced to was a tall Fjan almost as tall as me with dark blue skin and white eyes and hair called Dian.
The male who we are introduced to is very muscular and speaks very little. His turquoise eyes with a slight tint of white make him more intimidating. He introduces himself as Vulcan buh Toni insists on us referring to him by his real name Floinis.
The next Fjan, a much younger Fjan with a cloak covering most of her body. Her slightly blue dilated wide eyes were in tune with the colour of the skin on her face. She politely with a very gentle voice introduces herself as Flavia.
The last one, a gloomy looking female Fjan with an air of pure bloodlust, whose almost red eyes accentuated her deadly look. She is introduced to us as Soula.
"You, Squad Leader Muad will be in the same room as Flionis. You, Junior Onii Elina, you'll be with me." She points at her chest. "Come and lemme show you where you'll sleep for the night . And you Muad, Flionis will make you feel at home."
Flionis smiles at me and gets up from where he sits to shake my hand. "Nice to meet you, Squad Leader." He starts walking towards the door. "Let's go show you where your head shall lay tonight." His thick voice scratches through my sonary receptor.
He leads me out of the room with the others and into a much smaller room with two bed on either side and a window with a desk in front of it. He turns on the lamp on the desk whose green light illuminates the room softly.
"Tomorrow we make our way to Rimura to receive final instructions for our missions." He lies on the bed with his face up. "From there, you'll be leading us." He puts his hands behind his head and then turns to me. "Make sure you don't get us killed and we'll do the same for you, Squad Leader."
"I won't. Don't worry about me dying either. There's too much at stake." I sit on my bed which creaks noisily.
"I will do my best and nothing less."
"Now get some sleep because tomorrow is gonna be tough." Flionis mumbles as he visibly begins fade out.
I look up at the hard cracked ceiling as I just slowly let my mind wonder.
Tomorrow is gonna be way tougher than it was today.
But right now, I feel like I'm ready for anything.
I let my eyes close with my lips curled in a smile.
