Snippet #1249215

As his rescuer kicked the commander down and disappeared behind the house with him. Derian just continued to run, but during that he was ready to shot the first one to attack him or his new comrade. He hurried over the small hill, where the other two soldiers had just pushed him and met the guy, who saved his life.

"Thanks for your help, my friend. Let's go to your ship, we can talk more there!"

He dashed after Ryu, barely being able to keep up. Once they reached the street between the house, he turned towards the direction of the house, he had jumped out and waved his hand. He could see the young woman still standing on the window, watching the scene in amazement. For a moment he stopped to shot at a marine, who would have blocked their way. With a quick motion he aimed at the mans left knee and shot piercing through it and another soldiers feet. Both fell to the ground painfully holding their leg and feet. He jumped on the ship just behind Ryu, this time even on his feet, rather than the last time. As he saw a woman with trying to set sail, while she was obviously wounded somehow, he quickly interfered. Gently he pushed her to the side, carefully not to hit the arm.

"I am sorry, milady, but a beautiful woman like you shouldn't have to do this kind of work... at least not when you are injured. Let me help you with this and rest a bit, my dear."

He continued the work that Kia had done before, carefully taking a few views over his shoulder to evade the incoming projectiles. A few bullets scratched him, but luckily it was nothing serious. After some time the sails were set and the wind would carry them away from the coast a bit. Exhausted, Derian took some time to breath, while sitting against the ship's rail.
