Chapter 98: Muskos Part 1

Perio's furious eyes dart about.

Tucker, Jace, Werzo and Booker are already positioned the same as Reid, their eyes just above water level and their Enidds barely breaking the surface. With Kendal unmoving on the ground, Lolin leaps from his stone seat, grabbing for the dagger. He runs over to Pratt, attempting to complete the action but Jace pulls his trigger, sending Lolin flying.

The miyons suddenly scramble, pulling daggers free as they race toward our side of the cave. The boys let go, firing as the Muskos leap from stone slab to stone slab, dropping them by a ten foot radius. Even Perio has joined the raging fleet, abandoning the stage to come annihilate us.

At his change in goal, I inch farther down the right, away from the Rogues. None of the miyons see me as I swim to the very edge of the rocky stage down by Pratt. Climbing up quietly, I rush towards her, my heart racing at the sight.

We can't be too late. We can't be.
