Lucca's eyes went wide as the ship's sensors picked up the larger craft behind. There was no time to evade--so instead she fished through her bag, trying to keep everything from flying out of it and thinking PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE tell me I remembered it this time...AHA!!
The blast from Garrick's ship shrared the little shuttle's wing off, throwing Maniac, Akira, and any of the Unit Two people still aboard the shuttle over to the other ship. Meanwhile the shuttle began to spiral downwards, totally out of control.
With the world seeming to spin around her, Lucca managed to ditch her belt and grab hold of the handle for the emergency hatch in the cockpit's ceiling. Wrenching it open, she was sucked out of the depressurising cockpit, narrowly missing the gout of flames pouring from the severed wing as she cinched a metallic belt with a number of boxes hanging off of it around her waist, pressed the button...and suddenly stopped falling, instead hovering in place about 10,000 feet up. Whew!
Then she saw the ship bearing down on her. At that exact moment, the shields went down for a second, and she was suddenly sucked towards one of the thing's big engines. Managing to snag an outer door handle, she plucked a napalm grenade off her belt, pulled the pin, and let the slipstream suck it into the engine. It exploded a moment later, and the wind died down. It wouldn't be nearly enough to stop this monster ship--but at least the engine couldn't suck her in now. Breathing a sigh of relief, she turned to the little security keypad on the hatch, trying to hack her way in.
