"Easy goes it." Cage slowly said pushing the barrel of the gun up against the back of the pilots seat. He slowly raised his hands up and so did the secondary pilot. Cage reached over them and tapped a few buttons putting the chopper into auto pilot. Moments later Emille came into the cockpit.

"The helitank is ours, what do we do with these guys?" Emille asked looking to the two pilots. Both of them were short. One was a young male maybe even younger then Emille. The other didn't seem to much older.

"The same thing we did to the other guys." Cage raised his gun. Emille watched as cage prepared to kill the soldiers but something in him said no.

"Wait!" Emille interrupted and the officers jumped a little bit. Cage eased on the trigger.

"What is it?" Cage said shaking his head in disappointment. The pilots took a breath as their lives could end anytime soon.

"There young, we shouldn't kill them." Emille pushed the gun down. Cage rolled his eyes like this was some sort of joke.

"Fine." He agreed. He flipped the gun the other way and slammed the end of the gun into the forehead of the first guard then turned it back the other way knocking out the second. "How's that?" Cage asked looking down at the crumpled pilots on the ground. Emille sighed. As long as they don't die he thought to himself. Cage rested the gun on the floor and slid into the pilots seat. He looked over the buttons carefully examining them.

Emille sat in the second seat. He watched cage switch flips and tap buttons. He didn't think cage was changing anything. He looked up.

"Cage!" Emille dove across cages lap thrusting the small wheel. Cage looked up in fear. The helitank did a shaper turn and Emille heard the soud of metal scratching and scraping the canyon wall. There was a bang and a crack. Cage shoved Emille off of him taking the wheel back.

"I hadn't it under control kid." He sneered not even looking at Emille. He didn't reply and just sat back in his seat. The helitank came up through the fog and seemed like it was moving slower.

"Why are we slowing down?" Emille asked looking out the window at the canyons.

"You broke are fuel tank when you turned it, were running on half a tank." Cage said letting go of the wheel and flipping a few more switches which caused the helitank to make various beeps and boops. The helitank flew over the gross swamps. Emille hated it. It looked gross and smelt worse. If anyone lived in there they were crazy well never mind anyone if anything could live in there that's nuts. Emille heard a moan and turned his seat around. One of the pilots was waking up. Cage watched as the city came into view in the horizon.

"Where getting your girlfriend right?" Cage asked. Emille spun the seat back ignoring the pilots for a moment.

"She's not my girlfriend." Emille said a little frustrated.

"Then why are we getting her?" Cage asked again flipping a switch and pulling a lever too.

"Cuz she's um." Emille stumbled not knowing what to say. "We just do." He said. Cage didn't have a reply.

"When we save her you follow me and do exactly what I say to the letter." Cage said in a serious tone. Emille swallowed down his urge to say no.

"Fine." Emille replied.

"There's a lot you still don't know." Cage mumbled. The helitank made its way over the city.

"Were heading to the military prison base." Cage told Emille.

"Um how are we going to "sneak" in with a giant vehicle like this?" Emille replied. Cage took no time to answer.

"They don't know we're piloting it though." Cage said smartly as the helitank turned to the left. Immediately Emille saw the military prison. The only building with a wall. The city was big too. The buildings were quite large and the streets were filled with speeders and busy people. Neon lights were hanging or sticking off buildings attracting the sights of customers.

"I kind of miss the old earth." Emille admitted.

"Wasn't it like this?" Cage asked.

"Yes, but there's just something about the old one that's I don't know..... special to me?" He didn't sound sure of his reply. Suddenly a voice patched on the intercom.

"Helitank 204 do you have the prisoners?" A deep voice asked. Cage and Emille looked at each other in fear and panic. Then it hit Emille.

"We can use the pilots as bait." Emille said with a grin.
