(Jason's POV)

I stared at the giant metal ship as it crashed on the ground. Yes, I said CRASHED-whoever was piloting the thing wasn't doing a very good job. I completely forgot about holding onto Adam. “What the heck?!” I asked, watching it fall. Honestly, the captain must've been new or something, because that was a pretty hardcore crash.

As if on queue, squids in their special land suits charged up to the ship, seemingly out of nowhere, and busted in. In comparison with the ship, their suits which I had thought to be huge were about the size of Dillon compared to me, maybe even smaller.

Ty shoved me aside. I had the feeling that I knew what he was thinking. “That just looks like some sort of escape pod!” he shouted at us. “You expect there to be weapons in that hunk of metal? C'mon, we need to go get whoever is in that thing out!” He started sprinting towards the ship. Quentin and Adam followed, Seto close behind them. I shook my head as I realized that I was the last one and followed, even though I was pretty sure it was more than just an escape pod. Dillon hopped off my shoulder and flew alongside me, apparently sensing that there was going to be action and now was NOT the time to sleep.

With Ty leading, we got there fairly quickly. The squids had already made it inside, and immediately when we had gotten there we all seemed to notice just how big the ship was. “Let's split up,” Seto said, and even though Ty shot him a look for a reason I couldn't figure out, we all did so, each running off through a separate door in the main room. It struck me as a little weird that Seto wasn't surprised or at least a little confused given the fact that he had just discovered squids were evil, even if he hadn't found out what technology they were trying to make. I had the feeling, though, that to him being in a group meant you attacked what the others attacked and made friends with what the others made friends with.

I myself took the corridor right in the center. Dillon flew right at my side, and I slowed my sprint down just a little because I was getting tired. I thought about Adam's amulet. The theory I had about electronic pulses was correct, that much I knew, but it was still a little odd. I shook my head and focused on the task at hand: Finding the squids and, if necessary, rescuing whoever it was they were trying to capture. Ahead, the hall opened up into a small room with doors all around it. I bit my lip for a second and then chose one at random, holding the door open for a fraction of an extra second to let Dillon follow me. As I continued my search, I couldn't help but wonder how the others were doing.
