Guilt washes over Luna. She feels as if this was all her fault. If only she hadn't given in to the corruption, if only she didn't have such a weak mind, maybe, just maybe, this disaster wouldn't have happened. She bends down and places a comforting hand on Eli's shoulder.

"Eli... I am so sorry..." Luna mutters, fighting against the tears which were threatening to fall out.

"Eli, Luna, save your grieving for later. We have to get somewhere safe," the Asian Slinger states. His voice cracks a little. You can tell he was just as hurt as the rest of the gang was.

"I agree with Junjie, bro" Kord speaks up, his voice cracking as well. "Blakk isn't too far. It isn't safe for us here"

Pronto and Trixie nods. Pronto was crying a little but other than that he kept his tough molenoid face.

Luna stands up offering a hand to Eli to help him up. He accepts it and pulls himself up, wiping his few tears which had fallen down with his other hand.

The Gang hops onto their Mechs and ride off to Quiet Lawn Cavern.

The paws of the Mechas stomp on the ground, the air beats against the Gang, drying up any tears that may have streamed down the eyes of the group.

A few hours later, they've reached the Cavern.

"What are we doing here?" Luna asked looking around.

"We already prepared a second hide out just incase something happened" Eli replies getting down from his Mecha. The rest of the group gets down from their Mechas as well. They walk to a building familiar to the Shane Gang.

"Red Hook!" Eli greets happily as he opens the door.

"What do you and your group want now?" the grumpy old guy responds.

"Aw c'mon pal, can't we visit you once in a while?" Kord says stepping beside Eli who was in front of the counter.

Luna enters the building with the rest of the group admiring the interior and tools arranged all around the small building.

She reaches out to take one tool to admire it closer but in a blink of an eye it was gone. Red Hook snatched it from her quickly right under her nose.

"Don't touch that!" he ordered.

She nods and buries her hands in her pants pocket. Junjie on the other hand, seems to be keeping his hands to himself although he stills admire the tools from a distance.

"And who might this girl be?" Red Hook asks keeping a suspicious eye on Luna.

Luna waves awkwardly as Eli explains. "She's just someone we stumbled into. Anyways," Eli drags the 'anyways' "We're here 'cause the hideout was destroyed by Blakk"

Red Hook sighs and reaches for something behind the counter. After a few seconds a click sound was heard followed by a quiet rumble. The group looks over the counter and witness a part of the ground behind the counter open and reveal a staircase.

"Cool" Luna says taking one of her hands out of her pockets and jumping over the counter.

Red Hook was annoyed but didn't say anything. He just let out a quiet grumble.

"Thanks Red Hook" Eli says before heading behind the counter with the Gang.
