She opened her eyes, but saw nothing. And where I am is also incomprehensible. It painfully began to remember the latest events. The ships of the Admiral began shooting at Hecate and Phaeton. Several times managed to evade their volleys. But they seemed to feel in which direction my ship was maneuvering. At the same time at least five ships were fired at Hecate.

The fire was very dense. Twice I was saved by the use of the main engines. And the ships fired at exactly the place where my ship was supposed to be when using shunting engines. Strange, very strange. The impression is that they repeatedly trained to destroy this type of ship.

Chuyka did not let me down, I started the shuttle with Hecate in time before it exploded. We had to fly very virtuously. They couldn’t see my shuttle with activated stealth. But they were surprisingly accurate. If it were not for the slowing down of time, I would have been destroyed in the very first second after departure. Yes, and Lesha was worried if I was alive. Hecate is destroyed, and Phaeton is still alive. But I have no time to follow Phaethon. Trying to dodge shots, I rush to the planet at maximum speed.

But strangely, the impression is as if shooting not from the heavy armament of the ships, but from the lighter guns of the shuttles. While shooting at least fifty units. But why not shoot the ships?

During one of the tricks, when she dodged the next shot, she saw the Admiral's ship. He shot, but it was not clear where he shot, but he rotated like a whirlpool. Automatic weapons could not conduct aimed fire at such a speed of rotation. But why did he start spinning? Did Lesha not listen to me and hit the ship, cutting off the maneuvering engines on one side of the ship? But this will not cause the ship to rotate at such a speed. These thoughts did distract me. The immense force of the explosion (probably the fuel tanks exploded) and the darkness, the failure of memory. But now I'm definitely not on the ship. I am on earth (on the surface of the planet). But why is it so dark?

- Lighting! - mental order cocoon.
Bright light flooded everything around. Above me the uneven ceiling, like in a cave. And next is Lesch.
- Leshenka! - I rushed to him, but he did not react. Though he is in a spacesuit, but without a helmet. Put her fingers to his neck. My heart almost did not beat. For fifteen seconds, 1-2 times and then just barely. His cocoon was completely discharged. I tried to recharge from her, but nothing happened. When you connect your cocoon as a recharge, the voltage sets, as in a short circuit. It means that even emergency power supply is used until it is completely discharged. He is completely exhausted and out of it. Adrenaline shot from your cocoon. No reaction.

Once when learning, I heard that in ancient times, glucose helped maintain the body’s vital functions. And although in our time it was not used, I constantly dragged a dozen bottles in my cocoon. I tried to pour Lyoshe glucose directly into his mouth. But he did not swallow. One bottle “flew away”. Injected into the vein. Must help. But also no reaction. I'm desperate. I realized that it was he who squandered all his strength on me.He laid out so that the body could no longer maintain it in a normal state, and he fell exhausted into a deep syncope comparable to a coma. Made another glucose shot. She remembered how they usually revived. A few slaps. No reaction.

And suddenly there was a feeling of great danger. Turned off the cocoon lighting. She closed herself and Lyosha protective field. The sense of danger has not disappeared. Then the force field was turned off, and she set up an anti-sound curtain of maximum strength, not only from sounds, but also thoughts. The sense of danger did not disappear, but it became very weak. Strange. On this basis, such a danger can only come from sentient beings, and not beasts. In this case, the danger is possible only from the Admiral. These are his “sharks” looking for us. And really soon heard heavy footsteps. Only those who walk on the ground in spacesuits stamp like that.

Pancake! But me and Lyosha are without shlam! The atmosphere is breathable! Damn "sharks"! Judging by the steps they were very much. And they moved the chain. Accurately sweep the terrain. The anti-sound curtain probably helped. They went on. What should I do with Lesha? How to get it out of coma? Once again put her fingers to the neck. Although the pulse was rare, it was several times faster than before. So glucose begins to act gradually. This is more like a deep sleep. And she, too, was forgotten in a restless, disturbing dream. I woke up and immediately Lesha's pulse. Rare. Injection of glucose. Waiting for glucose to disperse throughout his body, I decided to check where we are.

I did not feel the danger, so I removed the anti-sound curtain. How much time are we already on this planet? The clock showed that almost a day and a half had passed since the beginning of the battle. Investigated the room in which we were. It was a rather extensive cave. Probably once washed with water. At the top of the rock there was a winding and narrow passage. Spit to the "ceiling", I realized that I could not get through the top. Crush the breed with the sword Arihonov can not. You can get a landslide. Yes, and the rumble will not, God forbid. And if the pursuers are still here, then this crash will surely attract their attention. Yes, and had to cut through more than a dozen meters. I can't do that.

In one place there was something similar to the exit, but it is closed with a “cobblestone” of several tens of tons. Move it is impossible. It is incomprehensible to me how we ended up in this cave if it has neither an entrance nor an exit. I decided to save battery power in a cocoon, went out of it and turned it off. I took off all the weapons and armor. Suit suit well saved from the cold. I just wanted to drink incredibly. A more thorough study of the cave showed that there is no hint of any moisture. Three days have passed, and Lyosha never came to his senses. Although the pulse rose to 18-20 per minute. A couple more bottles of glucose and I will have nothing to support Lesha. Yes, and most wanted to eat to the impossibility. And drink even more. Lyosha moved. But thoughts are zero. He just seemed to be whispering something, but soundlessly. Analyzing the movement of his lips, I understood: he asked to drink. WATER! Where is it to take? I leaned over him. I held my hand over his face and scribbled a chakram over his hand. With an effort of will, I tried to slow down the healing process as much as possible. The blood hit his face, but part of it hit his lips. He greedily licked them and suddenly opened his eyes.

“Blood,” he whispered, barely audible, “where did the blood come from?”
Gradually, his eyes became meaningful.
- Sunny, what are you doing? Why cut your hand? - quietly, with difficulty, said, with surprise and incomprehension, he fixed his eyes on the lingering wound.
- Lesha, need water. And there is no water in the cave.
- So go outside. It is full of water.
- I can not. No exit. And if it was, it was closed with a huge stone.
- Lilechka, is not fate to be postponed? - he hardly turned his head in the direction of the boulder, closing the entrance and holding out his hand in that direction, made a rotating movement with his fingers. This multi-ton stone moved away.

- Lesha, lie down, do not move.I am now, - rushed to the exit, not even paying attention to such an unusual movement of a multi-ton stone.
- Stay. And what will you gain? - somehow did not think about it. Is in the palms to bring, - Lil, take my send.
She grabbed a send and a bullet flew out of the cave. But there was no water. I had to arrange with the help of levitation "flights." Finally found the source. I could not dial ....
