Chapter 135 The Pursuit 3 (2/2)

”*Tzzzt...”

”Hm?” Lenny shook his head that had been hot by a flying metal shards and as soon as he recovered from dizziness he heard some static noise coming from his the Pod's communication system.

”*Tzzzt... Lenny!?...”

The moment Lenny heard that voice, right in front of their shuttle, a spaceship suddenly appeared seemly out of nowhere.

Without delay, Lenny cut his seatbelt, grabbed the Hylotl kid and the dizzy Forge that was bleeding from gnash wound on her forehead, and launched off from the Pod towards the familiar Sparrow-class spaceship in front of him.

...

”Lenny!?” John shouted at his comm as soon as the Warp Jump finished.

What appeared in front of ship was an incoming damaged spherical white shuttle, and a small fleet of Sparrow-class ships completely weaponized, chasing the spherical shuttle.

John was flabbergasted as the sight of a spaceship filled with weapons, because even the Protectorate ships didn't have that many of them.

And, as said before, it was forbidden to put weapons in spaceships by the Terrene Protectorate, so, John never saw any ship different from those coming from the Protectorate having those types of advanced weaponry.

He wasn't given any time to recover before he caught sight of Lenny through the magnified image on his screen.

Lenny together with two other person launched himself out of the pod towards John's ship.

[That insane bastard!] John thought to himself as he saw Lenny flying off from the pod at a high speed he carried on with the momentum given by the shuttle's speed.

”Peri, grab them!” John shouted as he pressed a key on his console to open the side door.

Peri nodded and flew over narrow corridors towards the door in which John opened.

John took control over his ship and turned it around so that Lenny didn't need to find a way to change direction in the middle of the space's vacuum.

Lenny saw the ship turning and opening the door. He became overjoyed that John had reacted this quickly and took a jetpack from his PIPS.

As the ship turned, Lenny also a opening appearing on the faint and transparent Forcefield around John's spaceship.

But some people wasn't that happy.

The small fleet of ships immediately accelerated and started charging their energy weapons as they simply couldn't risk send missiles, or use their machines, and end up killing their target.

So, they could only resort at their strategy of destroying the engines of the spaceship that was in front of them.

While carrying Forge and Saito, Lenny used the jetpack to slow down his speed before he could get to John's ship, or else he would be completely flattened together with Forge and Saito.

Lenny looked at his arm and saw that both Forge and Saito were unconscious now.

The kid had been pass out since there beginning, as for Forge, Lenny could see the blood leaking from a cut in her head. She probably had a concussion with some object that flew after the explosion and hit her in the head.

As he approached the ship Lenny saw someone appearing in the open door.

It was the green female Floran that he knew well, Peri.

His expression instantly changed.

Although he didn't hate Peri or anything like that, he disliked being around her because of the faint burning pain he feel on his hand whenever he's close to her.

It isn't that much painful, but every time it activated, he's forced to remember the terrible things he did inside the Ancient Challenge's dimension.

Memories that he rather forget, but every time he's around a ”survivor”, the memories come back with full swing.

As soon as his expression worsened, he brought it back to normal.

Just like that, Lenny flew towards Peri, and she easily grabbed the three people.
