Shadow the Hedgehog

"Just a light snack."

"I reckon it'll be back the next day. Or maybe search for an easier meal. About yay high," said Zamy, putting her hand at the same height as Miles' head.

"Yeah, they're lucky it hasn't torn it open like a tin can."

The 2 groups were undisturbed during the night save for something periodically scraping along the hull of the ship.

"It could have been their's for all we know."

"Good question. Neither group knows."

"Agreed. I wonder what's in the vault?"

In the pirates section, their leader chastised the member of his crew who'd tried to blow open the vault.

"Oh I'm sure it will too."

"Good call, that's exactly what they're doing." Zamy continued reading it aloud, explaining how the pirates and the others each set up in different areas of the ship, as they were both still wary of each other.

"Of course there are also rather unpleasant creatures on the surface too. They'll probably be more active at night."

"Some of the biggest ones aren't on the planet, but rather, under it."

Both of the groups scrambled out of the ship to get a look at the planet around them.

"Quite true. Though tensions certainly won't falter."

"Yep. At least they landed rather than flat out crashed."

The pirate's ship began to slow as the engine started to give up.

"I don't think things will be ending well for either of the groups."

The people from the ship ordered the pirates to take them to a nearby planet.

"Certainly does."

The pirates scrabmled back to their ship to find the owners of the ship they ahd just destoryed were armed and waiting for them.   "A counter hijacking. Interesting plan," noted Zamy.

"Physically, yes. But they weren't pleased either"

Miles was cprrect as the ship was blown in two, the pirates angrily yelling at eachother through the comms in their helmets.

Zamy nodded and continued. The pirates were now going to try and blow open the vault.

"I can only imagine. Shall I continue the story?"
