Day 12

Time: 7:30 AM

Location: Fourth Moon Quarter Detention Building

Miko pushed herself up, looking startled. Darius looked down the hall, nervously waiting for the cops to come running down the hall again, but to his surprise, no one did.

"Miko!" Molly cried, trying to reach out to her, but she was stopped by the bars.

"Your door was unlocked?" Robyn yelled. She grasped her own cell doors and shook them, but unlike Miko's, they stayed stuck fast. "Oh. Just hers."

"Miko!" Darius hissed at her urgently. He didn't want to be mean, but just because the police hadn't shown up yet didn't mean they never would. "You have to go get the keys for our cell doors! We have to get out of here!"

"While's that alarm going off?" Greg was wondering. Ai shook her head.

"I... I have no idea," she answered, sounding worried. Apparently, she had figured out exactly what Darius had.

"Miko!" Darius called, who had, just like him, gotten distracted by Ai and Greg. "The keys."

Miko's head snapped up. "Oh, right!"

Miko turned quickly, and then suddenly paused. Darius' stared at Miko's back as she looked down, kneeled to the ground, and then stood up and turned around while jiggling keys in her hand.

Darius' jaw dropped open. "W-Where did you get those?!"

Miko shrugged, stepped forward to unlock Molly and Robyn's cage. "I don't know! They were just in the floor over there."

"So... the cops just dropped it?" Darius asked, frowning.

"That's lucky," Robyn agreed, also looking rather suspicious.

"Maybe we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth," Molly pointed out, looking nervous. She turned to stare the hall, at, according to Darius, was nothing. "Miko, hurry up with Darius' door, we don't have a lot of time!"

"I am, I am!" Miko told her, sticking the key in the lock with enthusiasm. Still, it took her a couple tries to open up the door. "Man, I hate these types of locks."

As soon as the click, sounded, Darius pushed open the door.

"I have an idea," he said, quickly. He was already moving down the long hall filled with many other cell doors as quickly as he could, and the other's followed him closely. "We'll get off this planet the same way we got on it, with Luca and Sandy's ship!"

"Right," Ai agreed, while Miko, Molly and Robyn looked at each other with the obvious question of 'who's Luca?' on their faces. "But where is he? We can't spend a lot of time looking, or we'll be caught!"

"I..." That was a good question. In truth, Darius realized he had no idea. "I... Where do pilots, or ship captains or... whatever they are, where do they usually go when they come here?"

This was a question directed at Molly, Miko and Robyn. The former two shrugged, unknowing, but Robyn frowned, thinking.

"Usually, they don't go anywhere," she explained haltingly, like she only short of knew. "They stay at the docking station to unload and then they leave again. But I think last night was a different matter, because I saw them going to the barracks. Maybe they stayed there."

"You saw them?" Molly asked, looking surprised. "When? I didn't see anything."

Robyn visibly cringed. "It was when you weren't looking. Er, when you were asleep."

Molly blinked, and then frowned. She didn't look overly suspicious of the strange answer, but Darius could tell that answer troubled her. Still, she shook her head, obviously letting it go.

By now, the group had rounded the corner at the end of the cell doors, and were heading towards the double locked door at the front of the building. With every step towards those doors, and subsequently, freedom, Darius grew more and more nervous. He had a bad feeling about this, but he tried his best to shake it off, ignoring it for the shake of not worrying anyone else. That alarm was still going off, loudly blaring everywhere in both Darius's head and everywhere else, and it was giving him a head. He could feel himself shaking with every step, feeling like the floor was going to collapse underneath his feet.

Still, Darius tried to ignore it. It was only when he got to the door that Darius realised that it wasn't just him shaking, it was everything else, too. The very ground underneath him was shaking.

But by then, it was far too late. While he had been pondering that, Darius had already reached down to take a hold of his trusty rock (that he had accidently forgotten about earlier) and bring it down upon the lock standing in their way like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Then he paused, but Ai, who either hadn't noticed the shaking or ignored it, reached ahead of him to push the double doors open.

What greeted them was chaos.

The first thing Darius noticed was the screaming. He looked around, trying to find the source of it, but he soon realized that the screaming was coming from many, many people, and much of them were more red than they should be. The big buildings Darius and his friends had been herded past before were gone now, either in pieces along the ground like a meteor had hit them or just... gone. For a moment, Darius didn't recognize his surroundings, because, well... he'd only been in the detention center for an hour or so, right?

From beside himself, Darius heard a wet cough, and, to his own dismay, he turned towards it.

"Oh god," a person spat with just as much blood as words. They were half buried in pieces of concrete scattered about, and when Darius looked around at it, he could see blood, and other things, scattered around it like the lower half of this person had exploded. When they turned their face up to the sky, Darius noticed with horror that half of it was missing. "Oh god, oh god! Run! Run away! Save me! Get out of here! Please, for the love of god, don't leave me! Get out! Get out! Oh god don't you hear that? GET OUT OF HERE!"

The person's desperate yell finally snapped Darius out of his own horror. He backed up, slowly at first, and then much more quickly when the person fixed their one eye, half hanging out of their head, onto him.

"Run," he said, quickly at first, and then much more loudly when he suddenly heard the sound the person had been warning him about. "Run! Run! Go!!"

His shouting shocked the others out of their horror, too, as well as the hands on their shoulders, shoving them away. "Go, hurry!"

A low moan cut through the air, making Darius' heart beat three times as hard when it had already been going a mile a minute. He feet pounding on the broken ground stumbled as a horrible shudder ripped through him, and Darius' nearly feel face fist onto the ground, only barely managing to save himself in time.

Greg was not so luckily, falling to his knees with a cry, and then further onto his face when another horrible sound ripped through the air.

"Greg!" Darius cried, and without hesitation, ran over to him. He felt a body beside him, and knew instinctively that it was Ai. They both reached out at the same time, grasping Greg's hands and helping him up.

It was as they were doing this that they finally saw the source of the noise. Or, perhaps more accurately, caught the barest glimpse of it.

Above them, high over them, what a starless and cracked sky, and that sight alone made Darius pause, mind stuttering and desperately trying to work out what he was seeing. It was... it was... What was it? What in the world could that possible mean.

Finally part of it clicked. He had seen a dome covering the Fourth Moon Quarter on the way in, right? That just meant that the glass covering them had cracked, somehow. That was... well, certainly not reassuring, but Darius felt himself calming down as he found the answer to the previously unexplained horror.

But that still didn't explain where the stars went.

"Darius!" Someone suddenly cried, and before Darius could poke his head up to try and see who was yelling at him, he was suddenly painfully bodied to the ground. He landed with a painful squawk on top of Greg, who cried out. As they laid, Darius had just enough mind to feel something pause over him.

"What... What the-?" he gasped painfully, feeling his chest spasm as it tried to pull air back into itself.

"Sorry," someone said, getting off of him awkwardly. Darius recognized the voice as Robyn's. She sounded unnerved. "I... there was..."

"Come on!" Molly suddenly shouted, sounding desperate. "Hurry up, there's a- NOO!"

Molly cut herself off with a scream. Darius' head snapped up, and just in time, he saw of flash of darkness and teeth, and he instinctively flattened himself again over Greg, who let out an indignant "HEY!"

Darius shut his eyes tightly, but when he never came, he hesitantly opened them. Beside him, he saw Ai, standing over him with her legs bent and her stance wide, bending low over a piece of a barbed stick she must have just picked up. Darius's eyes followed the long line of metal, but he didn't get far before he saw the monster that had been trying to kill him earlier, pieced through the stomach by Ai's stick.

It looked like a black, goopy worm with a wide, circular mouth lined with more rows of horrible, razor sharp teeth than Darius could count. His eyes widened in horror as he stared at it. Was this... was this supposed to be a space shark?

Darius suddenly felt ill, and a little guilty. He suddenly regretted not taking guard duty more seriously.

Ai released a low, shuddering breath, and then tossed the stick, along with the shark, away. Robyn stood up quickly, looking momentarily embarrassed, but she quickly shook that off.

"Come on," she told them. "There's more on the way. We need to find cover."

"We need to get to the docking system," Darius reminded her. He needed to spit the words out through his own bile and sickness.

"It's too far," Robyn argued. "We'll never make it there alive. We need to go!"

While she had been speaking, Robyn had turned slowly in a circle, surveying the land. When she looked behind them, she suddenly seemed to see something she didn't like, and her eyes widened. Immediately, she had reached down to tug at Darius' arm urgently.

"Come on!" she shouted in his ear, but Darius didn't need much encouragement. Without turning, he reached down to haul up Greg beside him, and then they were running again, but in two groups this time.

One was Ai, who had ran up to the other group while Robyn was speaking, Molly and Miko, and the other was Darius, Greg and Robyn. The first group was leading all of them, seemingly towards two walls leaning against each other to make an enclosed space. It definitely couldn't be safe, but what choice did they have? Darius ran even harder.

But as he glanced back, he knew they weren't going to make it. The second group, at least. There was an approaching pack of there's terrible monsters behind them, and even though the group was close to the enclosed hole, they weren't close enough. In the split second Darius had seen them, they had already gained about twenty meters on them.

So Darius made a split decision. Clutching Greg's hand tighter, he suddenly through his weight against Robyn, sending all three of them to the side. Another rumbled throughout the planet, made them all stumble, but that was fine. When they all feel flat against the ground, Darius kept moving, tugging Greg along and keeping his eyes right on the small space he had seen earlier.

"Hurry!" he called to Robyn. Who was staring at him with her mouth fallen open. "Over here!"

Luckily, Robyn did not argue, and she shook out whatever she was thinking and followed him. Darius crawled faster, right into the little space where the street had been cracked, making a small hole where he, Robyn and Greg could crawl into the sewer.

They got there just in time, with Darius and Greg sliding in first, and then quickly pulling themselves out of the way as Robyn threw herself in next. As she fell in beside them inside the sewer hole, Darius saw that horrible creature's mouth close in around her feet, and the, thankfully, miss.

Without missing a beat, the creature turned and quickly flew off, not bothering to waste it's time on prey that was already out of reach. Behind it, about a dozen or so other ones followed suit. Unfortunately, they didn't go far, as soon they seemed to find yet another victim, descending somewhere around a building corner, and disappearing almost out of suit. That poor person... Darius shuddered as he heard screams.

He, Greg and Robyn were all breathing heavily, horrified by what just happened, but still scared stiff. Darius could see it in their postures. None of them had relaxed yet.

"D-Darius," Robyn rasped. "Is... are the rest of them...?"

It didn't take long for Darius to guess what she was trying to say.

"Hold on," he replied, and then pushed himself up, poking himself up just enough to catch a glimpse pf the other place they had been attempting to hide in previously. There, he saw Ai doing to exact same thing.

They gave each other a quick, curt nod before quickly descending back into their respective holes.

"They made it," he told Robyn, who sighed in relief, leaning against the wall.

Beside her, Greg hugged himself, periodically glancing at the small little window they came in through, and then away. "W-What are those things? Are they leeches?"

"I think they're the sharks," Darius responded. "The space sharks. The ones that... we called from outer space-."

"Sharks?" Robyn interrupted, looking confused. "Oh, no, those aren't sharks. Space sharks look like what normal sharks look like, or so I'm told. No, Greg's right. Those are leeches."

Greg made a face at that. "Ew."

"I... what?" Darius' face crinkled up in confusion, and he glanced out through the opening again, trying to see the creatures in a new light. They still looked horrible, but at least now the guilt was lessening. Somewhat. "Leeches? Well then... where are the sharks?"

Robyn could only shrug. "I don't know. But this might be good, actually! Giant leeches are actually native to this world, and they're usually what me and Molly usually deal with. If they were sharks, we'd be in trouble, but they aren't, and with all our practice, I think we can take them down. Though they're not usually this big..."

Robyn's confident looked suddenly melted off her face, and suddenly, she looked nervous. Darius frowned at her, worried.

"Can... Can you do it?" he asked, hesitantly. Once again, they felt the Earth rumble beneath their feet, but by now they had gotten used to it, and no one, except Greg, bothered looking down.

Robyn set her nervous frown into a determined straight line. "Yes. And we can do it while running, so you all just have to focus getting to the Docking Station, alright?"

"Got it," Darius told her, nodding determinedly.

"On my signal!" Robyn announced, and she looked like she was going to say something else, but Greg cut her off before she could.

"Wait!" he suddenly cried, and both Robyn and Darius jumped, turning towards him quickly. Greg looked up at them both with wide eyes. "What about Frog?!"

Robyn's brows furrowed as she stood there, momentarily confused, but Darius' eyes widened in horror.

"Oh no," he said breathlessly. "That's still in the tower, isn't it?"

Greg nodded fearfully, and Darius winced.

"I... sorry, Robyn, we've got to go get it," Darius told her, feeling sick and a little guilty he'd forgotten in the first place.

Luckily, it only took one glance at Darius and Greg's faces before she agreed.

"I'll come with you-," Robyn tried to offer, but Darius shook his head.

"No, we don't want the others coming after us if they don't know what we're doing," he responded. He grasped Robyn's shoulder, and she stood up straighter. "Robyn, just get Luca and get to the docking station, okay? We'll meet you there, I promise."

Robyn was still not completely convinced. "But the leeches... they'll go after you-!"

"Provide a good enough distraction and I doubt that'll happen," Darius pointed out, halfway to joking before his face turned serious again. "Robyn, we aren't leaving Frog behind, and we can't have the others follow us, okay? We'll be fine, I promise. Just go, and trust us. On your signal, right?"

Robyn took in a deep breath, but finally, awkwardly, nodded. "Be safe," was all she told him before she turned around, forcing herself out through the tiny opening. Once she was out, she stood up quickly, and blew out a long, sharp whistle. Almost immediately, Darius could hear incoherent yells from the other three, and Robyn yelling back. It didn't take long for Robyn to star moving her feet, her boots pounding on the cracked and broken pavement as she hurried away, even while she was still running. Darius knew the others had followed because their shouts and their footsteps got gradually quieter and quieter as they moved away.

Darius let out a breath through his nose. All was going according to plan, so far.

He didn't bother waiting until their footsteps had completely disappeared, instead, he started crawling out himself, and then quickly turning around to help Greg out as well with a quiet 'Come on'.

And then they were off, flying down the broken city hand in hand, their feet skittering over the peddles and debris of the pavement as they run on that thing line between maintaining their balance and going as quickly as possible. Both of them nearly fell multiple times, and each time, Darius' heart jumped to his throat. Every time, he thought he could feel breath on his neck of a leave, and he'd always cringe, waiting for a brief flash of pain, and then darkness.

It never came, and so Darius did his best to shove those thoughts out of his mind and focus on where his feet were taking him. In his mind, he was desperately trying to remember what path the police, and trying to follow those as best he could. As all the landmarks had been totaled, and there wasn't any deference between sidewalk, street and building anymore, Darius felt hopeless. Was he really on the right track?

Suddenly, Greg let out a sharp cry, and Darius nearly jumped out of his own skin. In the moment of distraction, Darius' foot hit something hard, and he cried out in pain, releasing Greg's hand as he toppled forward, just barely missing a piece of rebar sticking out from the concrete next to him.

Darius stared at it with wide, terrified eyes, and then slowly moved away, breathing a sigh of relief. Well. Hadn't that been a close call.

"Darius!" Greg called, and Darius looked to the side to see the kid holding up that same, grotesque figure. Of course, Darius would choose to do anything different, but he suddenly found himself wondering exactly why he had chosen to save that thing. It was worse than even the leeches!

But, whatever. What's done was done, and Darius pushed himself up off the ground.

"Good, let's go then," Darius told him, and Greg nodded, holding Frog even tighter. Darius noticed that one of Frog's legs was twisted painfully, and it was whimpering, as if in pain, but he decided not to anything.

Greg looked ready to go, but Darius couldn't quite help himself as he looked past the kid and to the pile of debris, trash and junk that had, apparently, once been the tower where Darius and his friends had slept for three nights. It made him shiver, looking at how a place he had been mostly comfortable with had crumbled in less than four hours.

It made him more than a little nervous.

Still, he shook his head, holding out his hand towards Greg. "We should hurry, we-."

A low moan cut him off. Greg's eyes widened, and Darius felt himself straighten up in fear, the hairs on the back of his neck pricking up. Slowly, his eyes turned towards the destroyed guard tower yet again. There were plenty of hiding holes there... plenty of places where terrible things, worse than leeches and worse than Frog, could hide.

Suddenly, something came into view, and Darius' subconscious recognized it even before he did. Before he knew it, Darius had let go of Greg's hand and hurried over to where he saw that small flash of brown, catching the small, wooden figurine in his hands before Luya could smash it over the pavement.

Luya's eyes widened, seemingly not comprehending what had been done at first, but when they looked up at their eyes met Darius', understanding flashed through them.

Their mouth curled up in a sneer. "Give that back. Now. Or shatter it, so we can both reap the benefits."

Darius blinked, but perhaps those words would be better to unpack a better time. He slipped the figurine into his satchel, and then studied the former boss of the Fourth Moon Quarter.

They were in a bad state, caught under a huge piece of rubble that covered most of their legs. The only thing Darius could see of their lower body was the blood, leaking out from the edges of the rubble. The piece they were trapped under was very nearly pressed flat to the ground, and Darius knew he didn't want to see what was underneath it.

As Darius stared in horror, Luya eventually grew tried of waiting, and uses their untrapped arms (with one looking significantly more mangled then the other), they pushed themselves up and off their stomach, groaning in misery as a shark of glass embedded into the ground and impaled into their stomach was revealed. Darius' eyes widened, but Luya didn't dwell on it as they pushed themselves forward, grabbing onto the lapels of Darius' coat, nearly tipping him over.

"Listen up, idiot," Luya hissed. "Do you want to die? I certainly don't. So I'll let you in on a secret: if you smash that figurine, we'll both be better off for it. Just do what I tell you to, moron!"

Darius blinked, and then shook his head quickly. "W-What? Why?"

"Just do it!"

"No!"

At Darius' answer, Luya's eyes widened, and they froze, their hands suddenly stiff on Darius' coat. They seemed to wait for a second, looking just a little bit hopeful, before sneering, grabbing off of Darius and back onto the ground, just barely avoiding the shard of glass that was inside them earlier.

As they laid on the ground, panting heavily, they glared up at Darius with a scorn that took Darius aback. What exactly was that look for? Didn't they WANT him to help? Giving him that look wasn't doing Luya any favours... unless Luya expected him not to help in the first place. Luya had tried to exchange something for their own life, as if Darius wouldn't think about doing it unless he was getting something back on it.

Well. That was stupid. Darius didn't really want to help, but also, he really wanted to prove Luya's stupid philosohophy and worldview wrong. Also, they were a person, and life is sacred, blah, blah, blah...

Darius glared right back at Luya, and then knelt down, trying to force up the huge slab of rock. He ignored Luya's confused stuttering and questions.

"Darius!" a yell of Greg cut through the air, and Darius panicked, the debris nearly slipping through his hands.

"Stay over there, Greg!" he yelled back in warning. And then, after a second of thought: "And run away if there's danger coming!"

"There's not danger!" Greg yelled back. "There's Miko!"

This time, the piece of concrete really did slip through Darius' fingers. Luya, however, did not react at all expect for gritting their teeth. Apparently they couldn't feel anything down there, which was probably not a good sign, but thankfully convenient.

Darius peeked over the rubble, and easily spotted that shock of bright purple and pink hair. His eyes widened as Miko bounded towards him, waving her hands.

"Miko!" he shouted. "Grab that piece of rubarb!"

Miko slid to a stop, tilting her head first in confusion, before she finally shouted the thing Darius was gesturing for and grabbed it, easily pulling it out from the ground. It was the same rubarb Daruis had nearly impaled himself on earlier.

Miko hurried around quickly, easily understand the urgency of the situation, but as soon as she saw Luya, she paused.

"You... you're helping them?" Miko asked hesitantly, gripping the piece of metal tightly. "Aren't they the worst?"

"I'm not leaving them to die," Darius told her firmly, and Miko's eyes widened before she quickly nodded. Without any further questions, she ran forward, hooking one end of the metal stick underneath the piece of debris just as Darius had intended, and then, with Darius' help, pushed the side up in the air down, like a lever. It took some extersion, but eventually, they got the slab of concrete vertical onto the ground, and then easily tipped it over on it's other side, freeing Luya. The underside of the concrete looked like someone had gone absolutely ballistic with red paint, with a few bits of white and... well, Darius stopped looking.

Luya's legs weren't much better, they were completely crushed, but Darius didn't look at those either. He help Luya stand up and lean on him, but he didn't look at them at all, instead focusing on Miko.

"Miko?" he asked, somewhat breathlessly. "What are... I thought...?"

"Robyn told me to come help you out," she told him brightly, also noticeably not looking at Luya's legs. "Because I knew where the tower had been. I used to work at one of these, you know!"

Darius blinked. He didn't mean to sound ungrateful, but... "Why didn't Ai come?"

"She was helping out some people who had gotten trapped in the barracks, including that guy we need," Miko told him. She looked like she was about to say more, but Luya, who seemed to be half asleep, finally snapped at them.

"I realize this is the most important conversation in the whole world, but could you two maybe hold off on it until our very lives are NOT at risk?!" they huffed, their head lolled. Darius rolled his eyes, but perhaps they were right.

"Come on," he said. "Lead us to the Docking Station?"

Miko nodded, and without another word, hurried off down the street. Darius was just about to follow her, when he spotted Greg at the edge of his vision. Greg seemed to be the only one staring at Luya, and his eyes were wide and terrified, nearly strangling Frog as he held him tightly to his chest.

"Greg," Darius called softly, and that seemed to break Greg out of it as he startled. Darius motioned towards Miko. "Let's go."

They were at the docking station in a matter of minutes, but as soon as they were there, Miko turned towards them.

"You all should go ahead," she told them, and she looked uncharacteristically nervous. Darius blanked.

"What? Why?" he asked quickly. "Shouldn't we-?"

"It'll only take a few minutes," Miko assured him. She looked anxious, and was constantly glancing at the sky. After one particularly bad rumble, the lights had started flickering, and it gave Miko an even more unnerved look.

"Miko-..."

"I have to go check on everyone in the pit," Miko told him desperately. "They don't... I don't think... Darius, this isn't a shark attack. I need to make sure they're safe, too."

Darius frowned, nervous, but he couldn't argue with that, so instead, he only nodded, tight lipped.

"We'll wait," he forced out, and meaning it. Miko looked relieved, and without waiting for anything else, dashed through the street and out of sight. Darius and Greg watched her go, until Luya once again lost their temper, and they were forced inside.

Ai, Molly and Luca were in the sixth escape pod they checked, and Darius was so relieved that he dropped Luya and rushed over to them, crying out what was probably gibberish. However, it barely even mattered, because Luca, Ai and Molly responded in kind, running up to him and Greg until they finally met together in one big group hug.

"Darius, Greg, you're alright!" Ai cried, her voice sounding wet with tears.

"And you too!" Darius responded, feeling his own eyes well up. But as he drew back, his joy suddenly plummeted. "But... where's Robyn?"

Ai winced, and stepped away.

"We... got separated," Molly told him, and Darius could tell from her voice that she wasn't just choked up because of the reunion. Suddenly her eyes widened. "Where's-?"

"Miko's coming," Darius assured her. "She just needed to check on some people. We just need to wait-."

Suddenly, the floor shifted under their feet, and the whole group toppled over. Darius felt his feet slip out from under him, and the groaned as his head collided with the floor painfully. He could hear the rest of them talking through the ringing in his ears.

"Wha-What's happening?" Molly asked, her voice high and panicked.

"The ship... it's taking off!" Luca shouted, and he got up in a hurry, running towards the front of the ship. Darius tilted his head awkwardly, and his stomach dropped as he saw Luya awkwardly bending over the controls.

"What are you doing?!" Ai cried, hysterical. "We can't go yet, they told us to wait!"

"We can't," Luya spat. "It's too late for them; it was the moment they didn't arrive. That girl was right, this is no shark attack, it's a whale attack! We have to leave!"

"No, no!" Molly was shouting, trying to force Luya off the controls. Luca stared at them in horror.

"It's... it's too late now," he whispered.

Darius forced himself up, towards the window at the back. The destroyed Fourth Moon Quarter was getting smaller and smaller... soon it was just a pinprick, on the moon.

Then, suddenly, the stars came back, and Darius instantly saw why they had disappeared in the first place.

He saw a hundred, miles long, needle like teeth, and about a thousand white eyes above them. He saw the jaws of the maw of the whale slowly closely over the Fourth Moon Quarter. He saw them close. He saw... that they had just barely escaped.

"We waited for YOU!" Molly snapped venomously towards Luya. Luya barely seemed to care.

"I know," they replied, now gasping for air in hippucs and groans. "I know you did. And now I've saved up.

Darius turned around just in time to see Luya take their last breath.
