~Chase's POV~

We ran until our eyes finally spotted what makes this thing teleport. Fiona and Sasha groan as they see how high the gland is.

"Guardians!" I shout. Sasha pulls out a gun while we take cover.

"What do we do?" Fiona asked as she looked over at me. I peeked from my cover and watch as the guardians fly around and protect the gland.

"Maybe they're friendly," Sasha said as she shot one. Fiona and I stare at her with raised eyebrows.

"Probably not," she said as she shot another one. After a few moments of thinking, Rhys contacted us.

"We can't do anything to this thing right now! What's taking so long?"

"What do you think we're doing?!" Fiona shouts.

"Sorry, sorry," Rhys said. Fiona ended the call and sighed. That's when an idea pops into my head.

"Sasha, Fiona, keep the guardians off my back. I'll take the charges and reach the gland."

"How are you... oh, that's right. Completely forgot that you can float," Sasha said with a laugh. Fiona handed me the charges and I transformed. My body became transparent and I headed to the gland. The guardians noticed me quickly, but Sasha and Fiona kept them off of me. I placed the charges as the two sisters finished off the rest of the guardian.

"We've set the charges!" Fiona informs Rhys.

"Okay, great! Remember, DO NOT blow the charges until you're nearly out, you do NOT wanna get caught in the blast!"

"I know not to--"

"--And HURRY!"

Fiona ends the call and we run back to the Caravan. Once we got back safely, Fiona hit boost and held the detonator in her hand. Once we were far enough away, she pressed it.

"Uh oh." She repeatedly tried to use the detonators, but nothing happened.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Were out of range," she said. Sasha took the detonator and tried for herself.

"Dammit!" She shouts in frustration.

"Rhys, we've got a problem!" I yelled as I contacted him.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"The detonator's not working. We're out of range," I informed him.

"What?!" He shouts over the comm.

"We need to go back!" Fiona said. That's when an idea came to mind.

"Chase, what are you thinking?" Sasha asked. I took the detonator from her.

"Going back," I said. Luckily, Rhys wasn't able to hear our conversation right now. Fiona had turned off the comm a few seconds before he could hear us.

"Chase," Fiona called my name. Our eyes met and she nodded. I thanked her and opened the Caravan door.

"Make sure to come back safely," Sasha said.

"I'll always come back." I held the detonator close to my chest. With that, I jumped out of the Caravan and headed back.

~3rd Person POV~

"What do we tell Rhys?" Sasha asked her sister.

"I... don't know," Fiona replied. Sasha leaned out the door and saw Chase one last time before she disappeared. She closed the door and leaned against it, sadness consuming her.

The Caravan came out of the Traveler's mouth and crashed into Helios. Sasha and Fiona hop out the window to see Vaughn.

"Isn't Chase with you?" He asked, looking up at the Caravan. The sisters looked down at the ground sadly.

"The moonbeam is ready!" A man shouts.

"Hit the button!" Vaughn yells back, completely forgetting about Chase. The Traveler hit Helios and caused everyone to fall to the ground. Sasha and Fiona looked at the button, but couldn't bring themselves to press it. The man quickly gets up and hits the button. The moonbeam cripples the Traveler, giving Gortys and the others the chance to destroy it.

They watch as the Traveler crumbles into a pile of debris from Helios. Vaughn, Fiona, and Sasha run out of Helios to meet up with the others. Rhys' smile disappeared when he didn't see Chase with them.

"Where's Chase?" He asked. All eyes were now on the sisters.

"She..." Sasha couldn't bring herself to tell him. Rhys fell to his knees and stray tears fell from his eyes. His head snapped up and glared at the two.

"Why didn't you stop her?!" He yells at them.

"Even if we tried to, she still would've done it!" Fiona yells back. Sasha made sure the two of them didn't get into a fight.

"Chase... is dead?" Vaughn asked.

"She went back and detonated the charges," Sasha said.

"Maybe she's okay?" Gortys asked.

"I don't think anyone could survive such an explosion," Athena replied to Gortys.

"We can still look for her!" Rhys shouts.

Rhys ran off and searched for Chase. Everyone saw how desperate he was and helped him search for the girl. While Rhys was searching, he felt someone behind him.

"Fiona, I don't need--"

"Well then, it's a good thing I'm not Fiona," the person replied. Rhys' eyes widened at the sweet voice. He quickly turned around and saw Chase standing there. A huge smile was plastered on her face.

"Chase!" He runs and crushes the girl in a hug. She begins to laugh and hugs him back. After a long, tight hug, Rhys pulls away and cups her face in his hands.

"How did you--"

"Before the explosion went off, I transformed into my cyborg-self. I was launched a good distance away when the moonbeam passed through the Traveler. I'll have to repair some of my parts later."

Rhys couldn't say anything and just kissed her deeply. Their kiss was passionate and sweet. They had to end the kiss so both of them could breathe properly.

"Chase!" Gortys yelled as she approached them. Chase kneeled down and hugged the small robot. Her shout caught everyone's attention. Vaughn immediately hugged the girl and was soon joined by Sasha, Fiona, Loader Bot, Gortys, and Rhys. Zero, Athena, and August just watched the scene with smiles.

"I'm so happy I could scream! But I won't. Cause when I do people's ears start to bleed," Gortys said.

"Thank you for not shouting then," Vaughn said. The hug ended and everyone was glad to see Chase was back with them, safe and sound.

"The Vault!" Vaughn shouts. He ran to the Vault as fast as he could. Athena, Zero, and August did the same. The two sisters laughed as they soon followed them. The only ones who were left behind were Chase, Rhys, and Gortys. The small robot went on a rant on how she was glad she had true friends.

"Thanks for being my friends," she said as Chase and Rhys kneeled in front of her.

"We're glad you're safe. Now you don't have to worry about the Traveler or someone coming after you for the Vault," Chase said.

"Yeah, you can do whatever you want," Rhys added.

"Really?" Gortys asked happily. Rhys and Chase nodded in unison.

"And we'll be there to help," Chase said. Gortys cheered as she circled the two.

"Lets go see what's inside!" She shouts and speeds off. Chase and Rhys laugh as she beats all of them to the Vault.

Rhys took Chase's hand and squeezed it tightly. She stole a kiss from his lips, earning a blush from Rhys in return.

"Should we check out the Vault?" She asked him. Rhys looked between her and Vault. He shook his head and pulled her close.

"I've already got my treasure."

"That was so cheesy," Chase laughed.

"Hey, I thought it was good," Rhys defends.

"But, I like cheesy," she said with a smile.

"I am a cheesy one-liner man," he said.

"And that's just another reason why I love you."
