Maes saw it a second later. Well, that was convenient. Unfortunately, Maes had two problems with this plan. One, he was still dealing with a spider the size of a tank and two, Xion was the rear guard and that didn't sit well with him. Especially since there were several, several bugs, lizards, and other animals between Xion and the truck.
Thankfully, the Shade had failed to consider that he had unleashed a veritable food chain here. A frog suddenly loomed behind Maes and ate the spider as Maes jumped back and stumbled against a large atlas beetle that was rolling a Hot Wheels car.
Well, perhaps he had found his solution after all to his second problem. Maes grit his teeth, this probably wasn't going to be easy. A country boy at heart, he'd had some experience with horses in the past. He pulled himself up onto the back of the beetle, grabbing it's horn as he hoisted himself up. Unfortunately the beetle was nothing like a horse...at all. Still, it didn't seem to be as concerned with eating him like the other bugs. Hughes kept his grip on the horn and directed it towards Xion, "Ya!"
As the cityscape burned around him (jeeze, Harry, what did you do) Hughes urged the beetle towards Xion's location. He wasn't going to leave her behind or Aqua for that matter. The beetle moved with incredible speed and plowed through several bugs, clearing a path for Xion. Hughes called to the girls, "Come on! I'll get us to that truck."
