[i]"Those...goddamn idiots."[/i] Ashlyn thought, mouth somewhat agape as she watched two of the other kids run off past the Spartans. What in the name of hell were they thinking!? Certainly she didn't like waiting around as much as the other girl apparently did, but her own likes and dislikes were irrelevant for now - at least until she got good enough to take on the Cruxi herself. Going off on their own was just asking to have a Cruxi kill you, and it even endangered the rest of them! That was just reckless and foolish given the circumstances. And she was proven right, not moments after the two of them set off on their own. A Spartan was in front of them faster than the two of them could even react, before promptly drawing his own gun. For a second she thought it was over for the both of them before something came bursting through the wall in a mess of debris. Instinctively, she raised the pistol she had been given, aiming for the cloud of dust that had risen. She knew she wasn't likely to do much to injure the Cruxi, but she had to do something instead of just sit there waiting to get slaughtered. Thankfully, though, the Spartan was able to take care of it, though not without a heavy loss to himself. The two kids that ran off seemed to be mostly safe as well, thanks to the Spartans. It seemed they had their route, at last. And that the antics of the two who rushed off, were to blame for the Cruxi attacking them. That, was not something she was too happy about. She gave the other two children a cold glare, as Lorenzo conferred with Matilda. Her eyes then fell on the wounded Spartan - He wasn't much older than they were. This gave her a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. A mixture of sorrow, anger, and hate. She frowned, teeth grinding in frustration. She knew there wasn't anything she could have done to help here, but that was exactly what was making her so upset. She felt so...helpless. Another person had gotten injured right in front of her and she couldn't have done anything, and he was most likely not getting out of here alive...damn it all. [i]Goddamn it.[/i] But no matter how much she didn't like it, there was nothing she could do. She turned away as the group began to move towards their destination. The group moved towards their destination next, Ashlyn had fallen quiet, hand gripping the gun she had been given tightly. It was clear she had been put in a foul mood thanks to what had just happened. She had half a mind to put a bullet in both of the idiots brains for endangering the rest of them like that. But no, that wouldn't help. Being angry with them would only make things worse, for now. They were all still new to this, they were all bound to make mistakes, even her. She just had to hope they learned before someone else got hurt. If not, then she'd deal with them herself, no matter what Lorenzo said. Thankfully, they ran into no problems as they made their way to the ship. The one named the [i]Izanagi[/i]. A framework was loading crates and other things onto the ship. Probably whatever they were needing to get out of here before the Cruxi swooped down upon them and killed them. It was an impressive ship, to be sure. Not that she had seen that many, or were familiar with most of them. It seemed like it would give even a Cruxi ship even a run for its money. Which was good, given the circumstances. [i]“…Well then… Children, board the Izanagi and prepare yourselves for departure. There are Spartans and Omegas on the ship who will protect you, find them and stay with them. Ignore the White Framework as it does its work, and your Father will be coming shortly,”[/i] Right, so they were to get on this ship. Might as well be the first one on then. No sense in staying here. [b]"Alright, lets get going then. Everyone on board."[/b] She spoke aloud to the other kids. [b]"Before any more of you decide to do something incredibly stupid."[/b] The comment was obviously aimed at the two who had run off earlier, whose carelessness had almost gotten all of them killed, and did get one killed whose death could have been avoided. Damn it, she was trying to remain calm here, and not let her emotions get in the way of trying to get along with everyone. Well, no taking it back now at least. She'll just have to go with it. And with that, she boarded the ship, with her usual cold, seemingly arrogant confidence before giving the two a chance to even reply to her.
