The Hunters' shuttle was nearly hit by the first two splinter cannons, but it managed to completely dodge the burst of plasma rounds as it ducked into the rows of buildings and skyscrapers further down the large street. Julian looked up at the shuttle that had arrived to evacuate them, [i]'Thank Aeritus...'[/i] he thought as he looked back at Arianna one time. "No, pick us up first and then pursue!" he responded to his comms. [i]'Don't die, yulie...'[/i] he thought, having felt a wave of guilt for having to leave her. "Alright, let's get on this thing!" he called out to Chief and Yugeto. The shuttle hovered in air, in plain sight. Zerox eyed it over and began commanding a few of his clones to attack it, but Flash waved him off. "Let them chase it to their demise. We need to focus on this one..." she said, eyeing Arianna once more.

The [url=http://www.thelightworks.com/wip/shuttle/tlw_shuttleb_1.jpg]shuttle[/url] neared the ground, hovering a good five feet above. Julian waited and watched as the doors hissed and opened vertically to reveal a spacious holding area. He jumped up and hoisted himself onto the shuttle's floor, then reached over and held a hand out to Yugeto who took it and ascended onto the vehicle. Chief simply jumped up high enough to enter the shuttle himself, having to duck under the door due to his immense size. As the doors closed and the shuttle began to lift off once again, Julian opened the door to the cockpit and put a hand on Zachary's shoulders. Using his right hand to point to the direction in which the enemy shuttle had escaped, he anxiously instructed Zachary on what to do, "That way, full speed, we HAVE to catch them otherwise we lose EVERYTHING!"
