" Our deal was that you return all the spice you stole." " That is a problem," the leader growled. " We only managed to retrieve five of the six containers because the sixth fell into an unreachable area." Signalling for his guards to carry the crates that were there, away. " Where's the last one?" he spoke with no emotion. He eyed the crates, giving them an unimpressed look. They unloaded the spice, laying it before the Pyke leader. When the ramp let down, Omega immediately noticed how nervous each member was, though she wasn't sure why. It only took a few minutes before the humming of the modified Omicron-class attack shuttle came into view and landed. The Pyke kept a firm hand on her shoulder as they waited.
" I know I can count on them," Omega said with a hint of smugness in her voice, seeing that Roland had doubted them for even a second. " I see your friends finally came through," the Devaronian scoffed. Both her and Roland were led out front where the Marauder was scheduled to dock. Omega let out a sigh of relief as one of the guards came and unlocked her cuffs. " I'm not sure," she admitted, not knowing what else to say because she truly feared the possibility. It would be all her fault if anything happened to the girl.
She put the kid in an impossible situation that now, wasn't looking too good. " Do you think that they'll let her go?" his voice laced with worry.Ĭid bit the inside of her lip. From their first encounter, the Pykes were very demanding and knew what they want.and they seemed to always get it, no matter the cost. " Oh no, the kid!" Wrecker started to pace around the ship. " You lost it? Wrecker we needed that! Who knows what the Pykes are going to do when we show up one crate short." he yelled as the ship took off back towards the city. " Where's your crate?" Hunter questioned. Just as his foot left his spice container and he landed on the other, the one he was previously on fell down, until it disappeared into the darkness of the hive.Ī white light spread through the cave, making the irlings go crazy and fall back as the two reached the top. Wrecker nodded, hesitating before taking a large step for Cid. " Hold on!" Cid called, swinging her crate towards him, though it was hard with the swarms of bugs. " Cid, the wire's not gonna hold up much longer!" he frantically yelled, seeing it uncoil more and more. It must have been damaged when it came in contact with the wreckage on the rails. The cable holding his weight along with the large container of spice started to unwind. " Hunter! Hurry up!" Wrecker shouted, busily trying to get the flying bugs away from him all while being suspended in the air. A large crash echoed through the canyon, followed shortly after by thousands of buzzing noises. The crate that he was on caught onto one of the broken down carts, causing it to fall from the rails and into the nest below. A sudden jerk snapped him out of his thoughts. That was the only reason that he would have ever agreed to go down into the hive in the first place, knowing her life was on the line. He had thought that the mission would have taken longer, which he was glad it didn't since Omega was still in the hands of the Pykes. Wrecker rolled his eyes, focusing on the Marauder that was just above them. I could have told you that from the start," Cid snapped. " That wasn't so bad," Wrecker let out a sigh of relief, overjoyed to finally be leaving the hive. Wrecker carefully connected the wire to the last crate, leaping on top, ready to get pulled back up.
