Chapter 138 The Pursuit 6 (2/2)
”What!?” John exclaimed, ”It was you!? But, how!?”
*BOOM!!!*
Another missile exploded as soon as the red trail met with it.
”I'm simply shooting them down, that's all.” John's lips twitched as soon as he heard that.
Shooting such small objects flying at incredible high speeds with unpredictable patterns of movement, and Lenny still had the face to say he was just shooting them down.
”How about it? Am I good or am I good?” At this moment John really wished he had the chance to punch Lenny just like Peri did, but he rather do it straight on his face, and not in the chest.
John sighed and calmed himself. This wasn't the moment to quibble and chitchat, ”Where are you?'
”I'm at the spaceship's roof, I think. I'm beside the long-range communication antenna.”
”How the hell you got there?”
*BOOM!!”
As he destroyed another missile, Lenny answered, ”I went out through the side hatch, the same from where I got in.”
John stopped to think about it and realized he had some recollection about hearing some warnings from SAIL about a hatch being opened and then closed.
While John was focused in piloting the spaceship and trying to think of a solution, Lenny had already opened the side hatch, where he entered together with Forge and Saito, and climbed his way to the top of the ship.
”Alright, Lenny. I'll have to turn off the Forcefield so that I can activate some kind of turbo by overclocking the engine. You need to be careful with the bullets and energy beams they will send our way as soon as they realize the shield is down.”
”What!? Are you serious!? Do you wish to get me killed!?”

”No!! We need to do it, or else they will get even closer and it will be impossible to dodge the beams at a closer distance. You saw how easily one of those energy beams went penetrated the ship's shield.”
”...” There was some moments of silence followed with another explosion that shook the spaceship just a little, signifying another missile being destroyed. John heard Lenny sighing and his voice came through, ”Alright, do it.”
”... Don't die, Lenny. If you do, we're all probably going to die with you.”
”That's reassuring to hear.”
”SAIL, deactivate the Defensive Energy Forcefield System.” John gave the orders, ”Overclock the engine and push it beyond it's limit, I don't care about overheating and the damages done. Only get us out of the jamming device's range.”
”Yes, Protector. Deactivating requested system and initiating turbo mode.”
John glanced at his side and saw that Peri was also staring at him.
She had a expressionless face as he nodded at him.
John turned back to his Navigation Console, [Let's see if we can get out of this alive.]
Soon enough, rumbling noises could be heard echoing throughout the spaceship.
The spaceship started to faintly vibrate as the engine started to work more than it was built for.
Along with the engine, the Power Generator also heated up as the engine consumed more and more energy.
