If I Went Somewhere Else

Blue Gem| The Predator. Part 6

The humans and stray alien had landed in a clearing quite close to where the boy supposedly was. The Predator assisted Sky out of the vehicle.

"Fugi, the painkillers began to take effect. You don't have to help me for now." She said.

He nodded, but stayed close to her as they began walking into the thick forest ahead.

"What painkillers?" Nebraska asked.

"Eh, just for soreness. I'm supposed to take them if the pain gets too intense." She said, which was true.

*    *    *    *

We walked for what seemed like miles, which it probably was because we had to land a few kilometers away to avoid being spotted. Fugi and I were further behind the group as he would not leave my side, despite me not feeling any pain anymore. For some reason, the map that Rory was drawing back in the RV crossed my mind. Like its really important. He says it was just out of boredom, but now...I'm starting to think it's something more.

"Hey Fugi, remember back in the RV where Rory was drawing a map?" I whisper to him.

"I heard him say so, yes. Why do you ask?" He whispered.

"I don't know why, but I feel like he wasn't drawing it out of boredom...I think there's something more to what he was doing." I say.

Fugi suddenly stopped, as if he realized something. I almost ran into him he stopped so fast.

"The ship I stole from the Assassin, it had crashed somewhere. The boy must've figured out the coordinates with the technology that I assume that 'Matt' had stolen from me. They took the child to the crashed ship." Fugi said.

My eyes widen, "What?! You're saying that a 12 year old boy figured out alien technology and found a crashed ship, which you stole from the guy trying to kill you?!"

Fugi nodded as he then began to pick up the pace. He ran past the others and startled them, I ran past them to catch up with the Predator as he ran much faster than a regular human.

"Fugi wait!" I exclaimed.

Fugi did not listen as he continued to run further away, but he eventually screeched to a halt at a cliff covered in bushes. I caught up to him as he kneeled down behind the bushes, I was about to say something when he have the 'Shhh' finger and gestured me to kneel. I kneeled down, a feeling of anxiety washed over me. The alien looked over the bushes, pointing down into an embarrassment of a canyon. I peeked over the bushes, and there it was.

The crashed alien ship. Military vehicles surrounded the vessel and had up electric fences around the vehicles, wow talk about overdone. Who's gonna randomly waltz into a canyon? Oh wait, I secretly smirk. But then I see the small boy along with the black man from the loft, he practically dragged Rory towards the spaceship. I clenched a fist as I saw him being pushed up to the front door.

"Fugi we need to do something." I say.

"Yes, I know. Take this." Fugi offered a small silver ball.

I look in between him and the silver ball.

"Uh...?" I awkwardly took it.

"It's a cloaking device, one of my several." He took out another.

"And how do I use it?" I ask.

"Simple, give a slight amount of pressure and the camouflage will activate. The same for when you want to become visible again." Fugi explained as he cloaked.

I look at the cloaking device in my hand, sighed then slightly squeezed the device. The next thing I knew, I was invisible. WHOAAAAA!!!! Now this will be a GREAT thing to use against the cons! Fugi then stood up and began walking down a slope that was only inches from us, I got up and followed him. Thankfully it wasn't too steep or we would've fallen to our deaths.
