Chapter 100: Muskos Part 3

After ascending her cratered back - with Pratt suited and secured beneath Sampson - Mimi lowers into the water, soaring back into the black depths and leaving the Musko lair behind. Riding toward the glowing city in the distance, we finally arrive at the Docking Station in minutes. As we dismount, Reid makes his way to Sampson and the two exchange words.

"We're in a very dangerous situation," Sampson explains as the rest of us approach, removing our headgear. When I take mine off, a small trail of blood runs from my hairline down my cheek from where my head hit my helmet during Kendal's blow. I wipe the moisture away quickly as Jace assumes my side with Pratt in his arms. Sampson glances between all of us. "The Vermix attacked earlier and now, so have we."

"Only after they started it!" Werzo says.
