With the battle over, Xavier finally had the chance to get a deep breath. Inhilation was hard for him which meant that he either had several cracked ribs or seriously bruised muscles around his ribs. Either way, Xavier would need to have medical attention within a few hours before it became annoying. Xavier looked over the heavy squad they had fought and realized that they were worse for wear. A few of them seemed to have taken a beating to the head and some of the others were likely to have broken ribs. Overall, Xavier couldn't argue for Acele not to help the 4th heavy squad. Xavier walked over to the flagship and boarded with a few of the others of his squad. The ship was a beauty indeed but it seemed as if it had seen at least one fight on it. 

Xavier looked once back at the beautiful top of the Alabaster City in awe. Knowing his luck, it might be the last time he ever sees the port of Alabaster City. Xavier wasn't sure if he could trust his team mates to protect his life but he knew he would protect their lives should they bee in danger. He already took a beating to help Cynric and Gods knew what he would be willing to do to protect them once he knows them better. The fact is, Xavier couldn't say he knew them all that well and it unnerved him to think about it. How could he be expect to give his life for them and vice versa if they didn't know each other? The 9th marine squad looked rough around the edges but Xavier was sure they could smooth out the edges in due time. That was the way Xavier prefered to look at life. To him, everything was put in a light of optomism.
