During the five day trip Roxsenne traveled from her crashed space ship to the Central City she came across a wide, open clearing in a forest. Here she decided to rest, but something in the bushes near the edge of clearing caught her attention. She walked over to them and saw beyond them a black jeep parked in the forest with five or six men in black business suits being led around by a woman with a white lab coat and red dress. She had a head set over her ears and was shouting orders.
"All right everyone! Our scanners have picked up that something from outer space crashed here in the mountains now fan out and find whatever it was!"
"Yes ma'am!" the agents saluted as each pulled out a hand gun and ran into the brush. One man came in Roxsenne's direction and she thought, "Not good." As the agent pushed aside the bushes and raised his gun at her she grabbed him by the back of his collar, rolled back so he ended up flipped him over onto his stomach, and then with her left foot kicked him a good twenty feet behind her. He landed with a thump after this and seemed not to get up.
Roxsenne stood and thought to herself as she reached for her sword, "I have to escape."

The agents heard the grunt of their friend and went over to investigate the bushes where he had gone. The four agents searched it very well, but by the time they were beginning their search Roxsenne was moving into the trees and away from that location deeper into the forest to throw them off. The one person who was not fooled was the lady in the group of alien hunters. She wore a headset on her head so that she could pick up the sounds of nearby miniscule movements and when Roxsenne passed overheard she heard her, aimed, and fired. This caused the branch Roxsenne had her foot on to snap and the heavily armored knight crashed to the ground.
"What do we have here?" the lady asked. As she stepped towards Roxsenne she could see her foe had blonde hair and blue eyes and was a real beauty, but why were people like her looking for aliens out here? How did they even know Roxsenne had crashed around here and what were their goals? These were questions that Roxsenne could not figure out for herself at all as the lady and her four remaining guards surrounded her and pointed their hand guns at her.

"Just a regular person, a knight taking a nice walk in the woods," Roxsenne answered.
"I don't think so," the woman stated as she cocked the firing mechanism back on her gun. "I think you're an alien and that's because Earth has not seen knights for a very long time."
Roxsenne grit her teeth and reached for her sword as the other other four agents around her grabbed their weapons. She drew her blade and the instant she did the four guns fired. She managed with her long sword to cut apart four bullets and the ends of four of the guns from their grips, so that the agents were left with only the handles of their guns, but the fifth bullet of an agent next to her right shoulder slammed into her armor and fell to the ground in a crumpled pile of metal. "You people are fools. I am an alien, but there's no way you can take me down. Roxsenne stated as she pushed them all aside and grabbed the front-end pieces of their guns. She was not sure if they could use their guns with only their handles, but by take them she gained two things, assured safety and the possibility of selling them for scrap metal later.
The agents tried to give chase, but Roxsenne was already running through the woods at a great speed. She did not care which direction she went in, but she felt safer just putting some distance between them. When the sounds of footsteps disappeared she found herself at a cabin and knocked on the front door, however, not before retracting her armor into her body. Her breathing was heavy, but an old man came to greet her and asked, "What can I do you for?"
"I need a place to stay. She handed him the gun parts she cut off and said, "I don't have much money, but if you take these and sell them good sir I think you may find me able to cover whatever rent you propose. The man looked at the weapon parts and realizing the ends were made for army troops. He sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on, but I will take these and sell them to cover your night's stay. How about one hundred and fifty zeni."
Roxsenne nodded and said, "Okay, that sounds like a good price. Sell those scrap metal pieces though and see what you can get. I want the extra to go to me."
"Fine, but if I find out you're in some kind of risky trouble I'm kicking you out." And thus that was how Roxsenne safely stayed the night at a stranger's home. The alien hunters did not show up again, but the old man managed to sell the scrap pieces the next day and make a few zeni off her rent. He gave her the rest of this cash though for being such a good guest, despite though being kind of mysterious. Roxsenne realized from this that their were quite a few good people in the universe if you looked hard enough; ones who did not ask questions when it was clear they should do so. And for that reason, Roxsenne though managed to get a good night's sleep and get out of the forest in the morning still worrying about the possible run in with alien hunters again. She was worried she would find them again one day in the future, but thanks to her strong legs and quick reflexes she had managed to run away for now.
