Ty watched as the spider crawled around before eventually burrowing into the ground. Both Gisorn and Kern were loaded onto stretchers, the mechanical arms of the drone ship lifting them with precision. The vehicle hovered just above the ground, then with a quiet hum, it began to rise.
A moment later, it vanished into thin air, disappearing after ascending no more than ten feet.
"Wh- how did it just vanish like that?" Ty asked, his breath coming in labored gasps.
John, still catching his own breath, nodded toward the sky. "Teleportation technology, most likely. It's best we move now," he added, clapping his hands together. A shimmering portal formed in front of him, swirling with faint light. "I've created a few waypoint portals. We should get away from here before backup arrives."
"Backup?" Ty raised an eyebrow, eyes narrowing.
