At dawn the next morning, the Young Six shot at the guards outside the impound garage and stunned them. Once all of the guards were out cold and the cameras were destroyed, Leon ran up to the door and began cutting around the frame with a plasma torch. After the doors were cut open, The Young Six quickly boarded their ships and took off after removing some pieces that had been placed on the exterior to keep them in lockdown. Leon led the way to an area where they could start mapping. They flew to a high altitude and began charting the topography and architecture. Over the course of six weeks they managed to chart out 2/3 of the planet.

After that, they were spotted by a patrol. Refusing to let themselves be captured again, the Young Six began to raise their shields. As their shields went up, the patrol ships opened fire and hit some of the cannons. These cannons were among the Young Six's main arsenal, but they had plenty of other weapons to use. They fired back and succeeded in taking down the patrol. As they finished mapping out the planet, they got a radar signal that another patrol was coming to take them down.

This patrol was twice the size of the first one, and the Young Six knew they would have a hard time unless Leon and his group helped them. He accepted their request and his group joined them in the sky. They took down most of the ships, but Leon had missed a critical part of the last upgrade that the Draconians had added to their ships. This upgrade allowed the ships to fly lightning fast in tight situations. His ship's engines were hit and he was headed into a steep dive. The Young Six knew that he was flying too fast and the trees were too dense in the area to make an emergency landing.

"GET OUT OF HERE! FINISH YOUR MISSION!", he yelled over the radio.

As the Young Six flew higher until they reached space, they watched Leon's radar signal disappear from their screens. They thought he was dead, but then he radioed back and said he survived.

"I ejected from my ship before I crashed, but I've been arrested for rebellion. Good luck on the rest of your mission.", he said before his radio cut off.

The Young Six performed a spacewalk to fix their cannons and then they flew on to reach Merlin 5.
