"We have to find the kids" Maya told me, holding me tight.

"Where are they?" I asked in alarm.

"With Cassi, they snuck out in the back of her truck. I need to know they're safe" Maya answered.

"Take Cleaver, it'll be quicker" Cyblow spoke slapping me on the arm.

I nodded. "Alright, Jorge, Beta go with the Knights. You guys are heading to the rip right?" I asked Charity.

Charity nodded. "We all go"

"Can you watch Alicia?" Kiera asked Max, Max nodded and Alicia hugged Kiera.

I walked over to Cleaver and climbed onto her back, the Knights started pilling into the Trackers.

I grabbed Maya's hand and pulled her up onto the back of Cleaver, I then looked down at Jayce.

"You stay put!" I ordered. "I don't want you going anywhere"

He nodded. "Of course Ryder" he wrapped a cloth around his leg and sat down.

"Hey Ryder?" Jorge asked walking up to me.

In the distance I glanced over at the trail of smoke in the sky, the Pirates ship went down in flames.

"There could be survivors of the crash, I know it's risky but I need to know if any of them lived" Jorge spoke.

I nodded. "Go" I ordered, Jorge nodded and ran away towards the ship, the ship crashed quite far away from Sandlock, but Jorge hoped in one of Max's extra cars, turned it on and drove away.

"Hey Max!" Cyblow shouted running over to him.

"Did he just-" Max asked pointing in shock at Jorge who drove away in the distance.

"You got that thing I asked for?" Cyblow asked ignoring Max.

Max reached into his pocket and pulled out a caset tape with a pair of headphones.

"The, Cyblow's awesome mix vol 1, hashtag better, then starlord" Max smiled handing it over to Cyblow.

"Sweet" Cyblow smiled like a kid on Christmas.

"Still confused by the title though, who's starlord?" Max asked.

Cyblow shrugged "eh, don't worry about it"

I slapped on the reins of Cleaver, but she whined a bit and looked over to Cyblow.

Cyblow noticed this and walked over to Cleaver, placing his hand on her snout.

"It's alright Cleaver, you just hang out with Ryder for a bit. Defend him and his alright? We'll see each other soon" Cyblow assured.

"Good luck everyone" I spoke waving.

"Let's go find them" Maya told me, adjusting her sniper barrel over her shoulder.

And with that Cleaver opened her wings and took off into the sky.

The Tracker stopped on the desert front, we were on the beach near the south end of the Dimension. We were going around the lake to see what was on the other end of the rip.

However we were stopped by a moving sea of blue. Ahead of us was a endless group of shuffling corpse's all covered in a light blue powder.

In front of the horde was a few soliders, maybe six or seven total, they were raising bow and arrows and taking the zombies out.
