"Hm?" Just as they were about to open fire, they saw a flash of blue light coming from behind them.They immediately turned around with weapons in hand and ready to attack.
But there was no one behind them, just the Novakid"s corpse on the ground.
"What was that?" One of them asked.
"I don"t know..." The others shook their head as they also didn"t know what happened.
"Maybe it was just one of the lights malfunctioning..." The soldier tried to find am explanation, "Let"s get our job done and leave this place. Reinforcements from Nova Rebellion, Intergalactic Police or UEG will be here in less than 5 minutes, we need to be far away when they arrive-"
*Bang*
Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere as the head of the soldiers exploded along with his helmet.
"Wh"
*Bang*
Before they could recover from the sudden attack, the heavily wounded was shot and directly killed.
The surviving two Miniknog soldier finally were able to fire back at the Novakid.
What they saw was the Novakid with his armor filled with holes, but not a single injury, standing right in front of them, and shooting at them with a wide from plastered on his face.
The two sides shot at each other, but it didn"t matter how many bullets were sent towards the Novakid, he just didn"t fall, and the injuries on his bodies were healed as fast as a blue light flashed at the Novakid"s hand and neck.
Against the undying Novakid, the soldiers couldn"t do anything but die after they exchanged bullets.
After he was done with the soldiers, the yellow Novakid, Lenny, swiftly stored everything that he found useful from the bodies and woke up Forge.
Forge"s eyes were blurry for a few seconds before she was fully awaken.
She scanned her surroundings and almost jumped in fright when she saw the bodies all over her, making a small puddle of blood that even reached her and the Hylotl kid, Fujiwara Saito.
She looked at her hands and saw that it was drenched with the sticky red liquid. She hurriedly cleaned her hand using her own lab coat.
"Let"s go." Lenny crouched by her side and threw the kid over his shoulder, "We have to hurry. I don"t know the pods work, you better know how to take us out of here."
"Yes, yes..." Forge answered as she stood up from the ground, "Did the plan work? I didn"t see anything before the world suddenly went black."
"Somewhat worked." Lenny said dismissively.
The plan was for Lenny to kill them while they focused at how to deal with Forge and Saito.
But he never expected his cover to be blown before he could even start killing them.
He had to use his power a few time, but it all worked in the end. He managed to kill all the guards before they could ask for reinforcements and without alerting the other soldiers in the whole station that their target was at this floor.
Just like, Forge lead Lenny to the closest escape pod that looked like a small sphere with small thrusters at every direction to make it easy to change directions, or slow down, while flying in s.p.a.ce.
There was about four pa.s.senger seats and a single pilot seat facing the console of the pod.
At the corner, Lenny could see some s.p.a.ce suits that worked in the outer s.p.a.ce, but as a Novakid there was no big use for it.
Of course, if an accident happen, this suits would be life savers for Forge and Saito as they were an Apex and a Hylotl, respectively, such races can"t survive in the outer s.p.a.ce without protective equipments like Florans, Glitches and Novakids.
Lenny took one of the suits and started to change Saito.
Forge was about to take over the controls when Lenny called her out, "Put the s.p.a.ce suit." He warned, "If they decide to shoot at the pod and penetrate the protection, you won"t die."
"Alright." She followed Lenny"s warning and wore the suit.
As Forge was on the pilot seat, Lenny found himself a comfortable seat, and sat down. After that, he placed the unconscious Saito at the seat beside him and fasten both their seatbelts.
"We are ready." Lenny said as he made a second check on their seatbelts to see if they were safe.
"And... finish." Forge pressed a few keys on the console and son, they started to hear the sound of engine coming from all around them.
Over the sound of engines fastly being turned on, they heard a robotic voice coming from the console in front of Forge, "Escape Pod number...09467, activated."
"Escape Pod, launch."
As soon as the robotic voice dropped, the small shuttle was ejected from the s.p.a.ce station and sent towards the endless and dark s.p.a.ce.
"Destination: Nearest habited planet. Mantis-7."
Lenny heard the name of the planet, but he didn"t know anything about it.
Of course, he didn"t have the hope they could reach the destination, as he knew for sure that the Miniknog would never want any witness to survive.
And just like Lenny thought, as soon as the shuttle was ejected from the ISU"s s.p.a.ce Station, a few Miniknog s.p.a.ceships that were besieging the station turned around and went full speed after their escaped pod.
Forge looked at the images in the holographic screen in front of her and saw the ships that were pursuing them.

"Warning, the Pod is being targeted by homing missiles."
Red lights shone in the small shuttle as it warned that the ship had been locked-on by the pursing s.p.a.ceships.
"Forge, turn on the open channels of them comms!" Lenny shouted.
Forge"s forehead was dripping with seat as she followed Lenny"s order.
Soon enough, they were at the open channel.
Lenny stood up from his seat and took Forge out of the way from the small camera in the console to show the whole escape pod.
"Hey, you bunch of monkeys." Lenny spoke rudely at the microphone that was already integrated with the camera, "Better not shot us down, or else..." Lenny glanced at the kid that was on the seat and made sure that the other side could see it as well, "...He"s going to die." Lenny spoke with a faint and cold grin on his face.
