CHAPTER ELEVEN

Planet Rhol

Kalan slammed his hand against the metal wall of the tunnel. “I can’t believe this! We reunite with Valerie for, what, twenty minutes? Now we’re cut off from her again?”

“Metal tunnels,” Wearl noted. “Exactly like home.”

Flynn’s face was pale as he stared down the tunnel they were in. “So I’m with you guys now? Normally I roll with Valerie.”

“Yeah, well, normally we end up with Bob, so I guess we’ll consider you an upgrade.”

Kalan took a deep breath. He needed to get it together. Part of SEDE had just broken off, and they’d crashed to this strange planet. He had to assume most of the prisoners had died in the crash, as well as most of the guards. Only a few dozen in that part of the ship, Captain Tuttle had said, but every lost life was a tragedy. He could hardly imagine how scary and confusing their last few minutes must have been. They had been going about their normal day in their cellblock, when all of a sudden the world started spinning. And a few minutes later, they’d crashed into a planet they hadn’t even known they were falling toward.

He tried to push those thoughts away. Wearl and Flynn needed him. Valerie needed him. And Captain Tuttle needed a punch in the face—one Kalan would be more than happy to provide.

Down the tunnel they heard echoing footsteps, as well as a strange dragging sound.

“I suddenly regret pounding on the wall,” Kalan muttered.

Flynn nodded. “Probably not the best idea, considering we have the captain of a prison ship and an army of invisible guards after us.”

“Not to mention the creepy locals,” Wearl added.

Kalan’s hand went to his weapon. “Let’s just be ready.”

They waited in silence as the footsteps grew closer, preparing for the fight they knew was coming. After a moment, a large shape darkened the entrance to the tunnel.

Kalan couldn’t help but smile as he recognized the being approaching them.

Flynn raised a shaky finger. “Um, big ugly blue guy. Should we be shooting at him?”

“Nah,” Kalan said. “He’s a new friend. Glad to see you’re alive, Nostro. We didn’t know what Captain Tuttle did to you.”

“Threw me in a closet was what he did,” the Pallicon explained. “Said it was for my own protection, so the Shimmers would help him. Let’s just say it was not a comfortable landing.” He looked at Flynn. “I don’t mind being called ugly, but I do mind you not helping me with my buddy here.”

He angled his large body to the left and Kalan saw that he was dragging someone along with him; an injured person.

Kalan and Flynn ran to help as soon as the saw the prisoner, a young, Skulla male. They laid him gently on the ground.

Nostro crouched next to them. “What do you think? Is he going to make it?”

Kalan observed the teen Skulla’s shallow breathing and the massive wound on his head. “I’m no doctor.” That was the most positive thing he could say.

They waited in
