| The shuttlepod holo-radio buzzes to life with a little image of a Pilot |
|
|
Shuttlepod 02! You do not have authorisation to launch!
Return to base immediately! |
| Repeat! Return to base immediately, or we will be forced to respond! |
| |
|
| * Glard. One to ten. How fucked are we. |
| I-- we-- we just need to clear the upper atmosphere, and then we can jump into hyperspace! |
| |
|
| * Okay, righto, and how long's that gonna-- |
| As the shuttlepod climbs through the atmosphere, two Avean Fighter Jets approach it from behind |
|
|
| Hunter 05 and 06! Take positions! |
| |
|
...
| It's over |
| Like hell it is |
| → | Can we outrun them? |
|
| I-- maybe!? But, I don't know-- if they fire on us--! |
| |
|
...
| We're probably screwed. |
| Five in six chance we die here. |
| ...Still a one in six chance we live. |
| → | Sunny can handle them. Glard, you just think about getting us out of here. |
|
| |
|
| * Jiro, fucking what am I meant to-- what do I even--? |
| Jiro touches his hand against Sunny to grant her Love Power |
|
|
| He steps away from her, but they share a brief look and an uneasy smile as they do. |
|
|
| |
|
* ...Aheh, righto, yeah.
* You sure you're alright with this? |
| |
|
...
| I'm still not sure |
| The fact that you think to ask makes all the difference |
| → | Give them hell. |
|
| The Avean fighter jets fire off their missiles. |
|
|
| The missiles are intercepted by rays of light! |
|
|
| Sunny is at the back window, firing off her glinting sunbeams through the glass. She's starting to sweat. [Cut this?] |
|
|
| Glard is at the cockpit still, damn near holding his breath. Jiro is right behind him with a hand on his shoulder. |
|
|
| |
|
| * Fucking-- can't do this forever!! |
Oh, Helix!!
Are they gaining on us!?? |
| |
|
...
| Don't lose your nerve now |
| → | Forget about what's behind us, focus on what's ahead. |
| Are we really going to make it...? |
|
Y-- yes sir! Of course!
We're-- we're almost there...! |
| The shuttlepod reaches the glittering emptiness of outer space. |
|
|
| BWEEORP!!! The shuttlepod blitzes away into hyperspace, leaving the Avean homeworld behind!! |
