"Daniel!" Lucia ran up to the edge of the dome. "Tony! Deactivate it!" she yelled at him.
"I can't! If I do it won't close again!" Lucia looked around.
"Well, can you open it for like two seconds, not all the way, just so he can slip back in?" He sighed.
"There's not enough time for him to slip in, but enough for someone else to slip out." Tony began to load up a gun, but Lucia stopped him.
"How does that even make sense? What are you doing?" He shoved her hand off.
"I'm going to help Daniel kill those aliens." He said.
"You're crazy! You, against forty aliens!" She grabbed his arm. "Stop. And think." Tony looked at the ground then back at Lucia.
"I'm going." He pressed the side button on the dome activator and the dome began to rise. Tony turned back to her. "I'll tell you when to deactivate it." Pamela, Arken, Beyonce and Lucia watched Tony run out to Daniel.
"Tony? Where did you come from?" Daniel asked, puzzled.
"I activated a Shield, and you couldn't see us." He handed him a gun. "Come on, we're gonna go kill the aliens." Daniel nodded nervously and followed Tony.
Lucia watched as they snuck over to a bush near the aliens camp. Tony whispered something to Daniel and Daniel turned to look at something behind a tree. He had a puzzled expression. Suddenly, an alien grabbed Tony by his neck and lifted him in the air. Lucia had to think fast.
"Tony!" Daniel shot the alien's hand and the alien dropped Tony and turned to Daniel.
"Uh oh." Daniel shot the alien in he face but it was too late, because the first gunshot alerted the other aliens. Lucia watched helplessly as the aliens dragged Daniel and Tony into the spaceship.
"No." Lucia turned to Beyonce. "Turn the shield off. Now."
"Are you crazy? You'll get us all killed!" Beyonce stood in front of the dome activator.
"Beyonce, move. Now." Beyonce didn't move.
"Over my dead body." she said. Lucia sighed.
"If that's what it takes." Lucia pointed the gun at Beyonce. Beyonce jumped out off the way just as Lucia shot, missing Beyonce and hitting the dome activator. The dome whirred and the dome disappeared.
"Good, now let's go-" Lucia froze. The spaceship was gone, and so were two more of their crew.
