They met at the docks an hour later, Leon and Eileen arrived while carrying some of their belongings.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUqidhxFTM
"Of course, Prime Maeral is gone along with his Booster already," Kai said.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN8nnfCshC
"Then we must go brother, we cannot let the remaining civilians of Catarei be enslaved," Leon replied.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3g2MxTTg
"What is our exact plan? Do you have one?" Kai asked seriously.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiwB7OIW4c
"We raid Caecis, it's simple."102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3uC0p7KdQ
"I agree," muttered Eileen. "We cannot allow them to live out their days like that."102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VujQfdN1e
"Alright then, let's get to the Treader," Kai stated with a grin.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2TbP6cEQY
The three of them nodded to each other before running further down the docks to where Kai's boat sat anchored. Once aboard, they pull the anchor up and get the Treader heading back to Caecis.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8SpTuJsJK
"What shall we do with the ones that we save? If we save anyone," Leon questioned.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LlIIhCwmd
With a sigh Kai walked over to the side of the boat, staring across the endless water.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSE5WP1Aw6
"They can live freely in this shit version of the Scarfil Expanse. Or, they can join our Faction and help us to bring a new era," Kai answered.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ4DF5Tlnm
"Our Faction?" Eileen asked.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw8ThlX97O
Leon and Eileen both stared at the back of Kai's head, and Kai remained quiet as if his silence was a good enough answer. 102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqPjspcfId

Three days passed as Kai pushed the Treader like he never had before, and finally, they slowly drifted as they approached the Caecis entrance. Standing around the entrance were a couple of Relnad soldiers. Two massive Boosters were docked close by as well, towering above the small mine entrance.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L1GK7sDiw
The Treader continued drifting until it reached the docks, once there Kai and Leon began to hook the chains from the dock to the boat to hold it in place. The three of them walked slowly down the docks and closer to the entrance. Eileen was wearing a black cloak as she crept alongside the two young men. One one of her arms was a device that wrapped around her wrist and reached to her forearm. Small blades circled her arm, placed into the device like bullets would a chamber. Her weapon was known in the Expanse as a Wing. Eileen hid a small dagger sheathed at her waist as well.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUbIzPpEJz
They were only a matter of feet away from the soldiers, Eileen aimed her Wing at them before pulling the trigger. One blade shot out from beyond the darkness she was absorbed by, taking the soldier out that it was directed towards. The Wings mechanical device could be heard rotating and locking in another blade. The second soldier drew his sword to defend against whatever waited in the shadows. 102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycM4pq28R
With the pull of the trigger, the second soldier went down as well from a blade to the chest. 102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBS8QWItJm
"Hurry to the entrance," Kai said.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PvJuAd6QX
The three of them darted across the platform and to the entrance of Caecis. The entrance consisted of a massively big metal hatch frame that linked the platform to the mine below. Pipes and other mechanisms ran around and out of the giant entrance, vacuuming the mine below so that it could be accessed with no special equipment needed. Leon crouched down and reached to the giant latch that held the entrance shut.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Z0WcwkkG
With a great amount of strength, the latch moved to where it could be opened. Leon then grabbed the handle, pulling it with all of his strength. Wind whistled out of the opening that was revealed. All three of the friends glanced at each other, then back to the stairs at the top of the Caecus entrance. 102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7QFmjeot0
"Now we descend," Kai whispered.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcbQ4kJSBP
With a nod, they all began walking down the stairs one at a time.
