We trudged on. The gamma signals were getting stronger. Jane said that the HSP were heading right at us.

We entered another clearing. I looked up. The dust cloud wasn't a dust cloud at all! It was smoke.

"Wow, they suck at camo," Ben said.

The cloud of smoke was no more than fifty blocks away, just on the other side of the clearing. Suddenly, the smoke vanished. I could now clearly see several low floating vehicles no bigger than three blocks wide. Two men were stationed in each. They seem to be led by a single tank, about the size of the ones we used.

A loud voice boomed, "WHO GOES THERE?"

"The HH," Ben yelled back, but his voice was no match for the loudspeaker.

"First wave," the voice said, softer this time.

The first row of men took out bows.

Lora and Grace did so as well.

I searches the ranks of men for my father.

Ben drew his sword.

Jane drew her sword.
