Foxete's POV:
Stress. It's all I can feel. The Evonian army is not on our trail and Kreko will only be angrier now that we took out his ship. The ship is at a stand-still. Most people are just hiding in their rooms, too afraid to come out. Is this the army I have to take on Freddy? Who am I kidding. I had a panic attack post-battle! It took a lot of convincing to let Illoha allow me to leave my room. She says I need rest, bull crap. What I need to do is fix this ship or we'll all be dead within the next few hours. We'll run out of air by tomorrow. I haven't told anyone other than Dex.
"Hello? Earth to Fox?" Keori materializes into the control room in-front of me.
"Ah, sorry. I'm just in my own thoughts." I joke lightheartedly.
"Well, I fixed the engine. We need to land someone soon though, we're almost out of gas." Keori sighs.
"Davis?" I ask out loud, hoping he'll hear me.
"Yes, Foxete?" He asks bluntly.
I ignore his bluntness, "How far away are we from Macola?"
"About a day away." He responds, "We'll make it... barely."
"Crash landing?" I groan.
"Hold on to something." He chuckles.
"Oh brother." Keori pouts.
"Go make sure the kids are in their rooms Keori, I'm gonna initiate launch as soon as everyone is ready." I command.
I exit the room after her. First, find Illoha. Next, find Dex. Then, make sure Ru and the boys are safe. Finally, announce the launch and initiate it. I go over the list in my head. Illoha, Dex, Ru, Crew.
I knock on my door, "Princess?" I ask. She opens the door. Her hair is tied in a messy bun. She looks cute. Shit. Wait, she can read my mind. Fox don't feed her ego.
"Yes, you dork?" She chuckles.
I forgot what I had to say.
"Are we going somewhere?" She asks.
"Ah! Right, yes. We are flying to Macola on low power and are gonna crash land." I sigh.
"So you want me on standby?" She asks.
"That would be lovely, Princess." I smile.
"Great. Thanks for telling me." She kisses me and closes the door quickly.
What am I doing next?
God she's a distraction. I should've gone to her last.
"Why are you standing outside your room?" Dex asks puzzled from behind me.
Oh how the times are changing.
