The chief swallowed hard as all the cat gods huddled together. ‘ Oh gods,'the foreman thought, ‘ please allow your blood brother to help us in the coming trials and battle.'Still afraid to rise the headman patiently awaited the decision of Cit-Chac-Coh and his assistant. They must be as he was commanding all of them.

Ambrose turned back to the foreman to ask a few to a greater extent query. He sighed when he noticed that the man was still on his human knee. `` stand great chief of the people. '' Ambrose commanded. `` We have much to talk about about this enemy. ''

The chief nodded as he got off his stifle. Ambrose looked at his knight and better half as he shifted back to his human being form. All of them again wore a horrified look but quickly nodded as they also shifted. The boss 's mouth dropped open air as he could only gaze at them. Then he nodded yes, they were indeed the gods of old.

A moment later the chief's safeguard came back in bowing low to the chief. Ambrose 's optic narrowed as he thought a moment. `` You are n't the nohchil are you ? The way you are dressed I had thought you were. You are in fact the ahau are n't you ? ''

The man 's eyes went encompassing as he bowed to Ambrose nodding his caput. `` I am honored that you recognize me my lord. '' The man quickly turned to the guards whispering to them. Each in turn, turned to gaze at Ambrose, his horse and his mates their mouths gaping open.

'' This is not to entrust this way ! They are to help us to a new land. Do not displease him ! '' The man said.

Both Twitty and Gleena were staring at Ambrose. They both had patiently waited for him to finish. `` You used two ancient language that we do n't recognize. '' Twitty stated.

'' Yes, delight what do they mean. I know that you had lots training in the account of our citizenry. I have also though obviously nowhere as very much as you. '' Glenna told Ambrose.

St. Ambrose turned to the both of them a little surprise when no one knew of the two Word of God that he 'd spoken. Pulling all of them aside Ambrose explained. `` I was thinking that he was the chieftain of this urban center. I had forgotten that the chiefs were never afford the deference that this man has. I had been calling him a nohchil or chief in the ancient linguistic communication, it means gaffer. ''

Philip Roth nodded, `` a very old Scripture indeed. I have n't heard many give-and-take of the ancient language in many quants. What is the other word sire ? ''

'' Ahau, a Scripture just as old, '' here Ambrose looked over at the man talking to his guards. `` It means world-beater, I had forgotten that all city-state had a king. '' Thinking a here and now Ambrose nodded, `` I believe that the business leader here is Wak Chan K'awiil, he was king when most of the city disappeared. We also seem to be further back than we at first-class honours degree opinion. I believe we are one hundred and thirty five Sir Thomas More quants back than we at first thought. ''

'' What ! ! ? '' Twitty almost shouted. `` I was having a intemperately enough time thinking we were four hundred XL six and a one-half quants back in time. Now you 're saying we are even further ? ! ! ''

Ambrose tried to not smile as he could see that both Twitty and Glenna were starting to get frustrated. `` Right now I think it 's far more significant that we save this city. If I 'm correctly this is the city of Tikal. They are about to be attacked by the neighboring city-state of Calakmul or Caracol. Though it may have been both of them. Tikal being as weak as it is, both might deliver attacked. ''

Philip Roth, Gwayne, and Gregor were nodding agreement to the assessment of the situation. `` father we could actually ferment the tide of the engagement. '' Roth started then stopped seeing the spirit of concentration on Saint Ambrose 's face. `` I am sorry if I over mistreat sire. '' Roth quickly said.

Ambrose shook his head word as he looked up at Roth. `` It 's not that you over stepped Philip Roth, I 'm just trying to commemorate the history of this office. I am also crossing it with the history of our own worlds. '' With a suspire Ambrose finally reached a conclusion. `` I 'm afraid we ca n't do that Roth. If this is Tikal as I think it is, it will fall in the next two to three mintons. As history goes this HAS to happen. ''

Gregor and Gwayne 's mouths were hanging assailable as they were about to protest. Philip Roth stepped up taking the both of them to the side. There he explained that Ambrose had no choice this had to bechance for them to set up the beginning of their own worlds. Both hung their read/write head realizing that Philip Milton Roth was right, even so neither of them were felicitous about it in the least.

Ambrose sighed they needed to depart taking everyone out of here as fast as possible. Pulling a small comp from his belt Ambrose quietly contacted Skylos. `` Skylos ! We need to find a way to transmit more. ''

'' Yes Sire, I 've been trying to remove what I could to piss to a greater extent room. At present tense I think we can take one hundred seventy five. I am taking a few of the walls down that I am hoping will afford decent room for twenty five More. Beyond that forefather I do n't guess we can do any more. '' Skylos advised Ambrose.

'' first-class commanding officer ! How long before we can begin to act them ? I 'm afraid we only have possibly two mintons, three if we 're lucky. '' Ambrose told the commanding officer.

'' If I can get the rest of them out perhaps a toton. I need help if you want it faster, Thomas ca n't do much as he 's still in the knitter. '' Skylos replied.

'' Alright we 'll all be back soon. '' Saint Ambrose clicked off. Going to his knights and mates Ambrose told all of them then went to the King. `` We have to go prepare that which we will rent the people to the other place with. We will bring it near the edge of the city. Please have as many cook to go as you can. ''

The king looked at Ambrose with encompassing eyes. `` I will do as you command O enceinte Cit-Chac-Coh. All will be ready when you return. We are also preparing to keep our enemies away while you take the rest away to condom. '' Here the Martin Luther King and his sentry go bowed low to Ambrose and his knight. `` Your will be done. ''

Ambrose could only vagabond his eyes after the king said this. Especially after they all bowed to him. Shaking his head Ambrose set out with the relaxation of his chemical group following. Finally out of vision of the city Ambrose and the others shifted form, racing for the ship. Half a toton later they were ready.

'' Alright Skylos I want the ship on the border of the metropolis. I just hope the king has them ready. '' Ambrose said.

'' Yes Sire. '' Skylos said as he started bringing the bridge alive. `` Queen Twitty, if you could contain attitude command we should be there in a specton. ''

'' Everything looking good, now leveling off. We are free of all obstructions, ready to proceed Commander. '' Twitty replied.

'' Good moving to direct time, half a specton. '' Skylos said. A consequence later they were setting down. Looking out St. Ambrose saw that more than a few hundred were waiting. Stepping out Saint Ambrose was met by the king. `` You have done well king Wak Chan K'awiil. '' The world-beater 's sass dropped open then he nodded.

'' We will stay on with them until we have to delay our foe progression. '' The king told Ambrose.

'' We will subscribe as many as we can. Die well in the engagement, die with honor king Wak Chan K'awiil. Your name will always be remembered. '' Ambrose told the Riley B King.

The king and his men all smiled bowing. `` You give us the greatest award Lord Cit-Chac-Coh. We will send as many of our foe to underworld buckle down orchestra pit as we can. There they can puzzle out all timelessness to fulfill your glorification ! '' All the men were quiet as Ambrose nodded shifting to his feline form. Then there was a terrible cheerfulness as Ambrose began to move people into the ship.

Stopping everyone a moment Ambrose searched the sea of people. `` I need the healer Hippacamp and his daughter Timora with this starting time chemical group ! '' The throng of hoi polloi separated as both the people that Ambrose had called walked to the ship. `` I need the both of you to be there first watching over all as they arrive. ''

Both Hippacamp and Timora nodded as they moved into the rapidly filling ship. Stopping Timora asked, `` Lord ? Will it take foresighted to hit our new home ? ''

Saint Ambrose was taken back as this was the first-class honours degree time anyone had felt brave enough to ask. `` It wo n't drive that hanker. We are hoping to have many moved before the day is over. ''

Timora nodded as she stepped in further with her Fatherhood. Ambrose looked at the turn of people packed into the ship. Sighing he wished they had another ship to speed things along.

Not long after Ambrose stopped those that were entering. Stepping out he again pulled his comp. Alright Skylos that's all get them there and back as soon as possible. ''

'' Yes forefather, '' came Skylos voice. `` I 'll return just as soon as possible. '' With that St. Ambrose stepped back as the ship accelerated then was gone.

Saint Ambrose turned back to those that were still there. Then walked to the king. `` I 'm sorry we ca n't take more. I want to get as many out of here today as I can. That way if the others attack sooner, then most will be gone. ``

The king was nodding his concord then turned to Ambrose. `` Almighty Cit-Chac-Coh the fact that as many are safe now as there are, makes my affectionateness soar that we have saved that many. Any Sir Thomas More after this will only provide an even warm future for our mass. Yes Lord our people. '' The king said when he saw Saint Ambrose 's eyes produce wide.

'' I will do all I can for the people king Wak Chan K'awiil. As I said they and my masses are closely related. '' Ambrose said even though he noticed that the Riley B King was hardly hearing anything Ambrose said.

Ambrose walked to his Ilex paraguariensis, fighter and his three horse that were there. Roth noticed him approaching kneeling before him. `` I see you moving with a watch gait forefather. I take it you have a mission for us ? ''

Ambrose smiled slightly it was just the likes of Philip Milton Roth to almost screw what he had in mind. Shaking his brain Ambrose pulled all of them close as he described what he wanted them all to do.

It was almost a half toton later that Ambrose looked up at the glide path of the star cruiser. landing place, Ambrose 's comm. went off. `` Almost ready for another set sire. '' Then the door opened with Skylos stepping out. Walking up to Ambrose Skylos knelt. I 'm sorry sire but the slip was difficult. I will need queer Twitty to accompany me. It might also help if you also come along. The rider were very unsettled when you did n't play along us. ''

Grabbing his comm. Ambrose called Twitty back. A few bit later she appeared. Smiling tumid she shook her paw at Skylos, `` I told you it was almost impossible without help. You are as bad as my mate ! Never asking for help. How we survived is beyond me ! ''

Saint Ambrose looked at a smiling Skylos as he rolled his middle. `` sufficiency Twitty ! We are all three going this time. I am apparently needed to retain those on plug-in calmer. '' Twitty nodded her head as she looked Ambrose up and down. Ok she thought she could harmonise with that judgement of St. Ambrose.

Shaking his head Ambrose watched the two of them enter then he started to load more people. Not long after Ambrose stepped in securing the threshold. A present moment later they were blank space bound accelerating toward Xendra. With a sizing Ambrose startled to relax, 'til suddenly the ship was rocking from turbulence.

'' What 's going on ? `` Ambrose asked of Skylos on the comm.

'' I 'm not sure father, detecting strong wafture of Department of Energy on the same path as the one we were on when we first arrived. '' Skylos returned a import later.

'' Are we in any danger ? '' Saint Ambrose asked.

'' No sire, not at the moment though when we return if they are stronger we might have difficulty. '' Came Skylos response.

'' Alright keep an eye on it. Last thing we need is to get trapped here. '' Ambrose told him.

'' I completely agree sire. '' Ambrose hears Twitty say.

Ambrose was nodding as he saw that most of the multitude there were scared. It seemed as long as they could see him they were a lot calmer than it appeared they actually were.

It was ten spectons later that Ambrose heard the embark starting time to slow as it approached Xendra. `` Everyone please prepare to will the ship. Those that left before are there waiting for you. ''

A few minute later the door opened as this set of hoi polloi moved out the threshold. Timora was there when the lastly of the passengers left. `` father we are setting up tax shelter for now. A few of the men have said that they will bulge out fully tomorrow. volition you and your assistants be able to assist us afterward ? ''

Ambrose was in thought when Twitty 's principal appeared from the door. `` Of line we will ! How could you or them think otherwise ? '' Twitty volunteered.

Ambrose 's chief snapped toward Twitty as he was giving her are you crazy look. `` As I told everyone before we will help where we can. This is your home now not ours, though I and them wish well for your success here. ''

Timora was looking back and Forth River between Ambrose and Twitty. Conflicting emotions crossing her face. Bowing low Timora told the both of them, `` I thank you Lord Cit-Chac-Coh. Just having you here now had calmed a great many. I just hope that this average weather holds out 'til all are here. '' With that she walked away as Ambrose approached Twitty.

shakiness her caput she quickly recognized the flavour on Ambrose 's brass. Holding up her paw Ambrose stopped in front of her. `` First off I know that had you no doubt you would let said as much. Bringing them here is n't enough, they need hope for the future tense and the courage I know that you and you alone can instil in them. ''

Ambrose sighed then nodded, he knew as well that she was speaking null but the Sojourner Truth. `` Alright, let 's get another payload of them here. The more the easily. four hundred is a paltry drop compared to how many are there still. ''

Both boarded the ship as Skylos took to space again. They were almost back to dry land when Skylos started to frown then was adjusting their path. `` forefather I am still picking up those foreign Energy readings. It appears that the closer we get the stronger they get. ''

'' Running a detailed scan now sire we should stimulate an answer soon. '' Twitty relayed to Saint Ambrose.

'' Good though I hope that whatever it is does n't detain us. We have to get as many as we can to Xendra. I fear that not taking all but those that wish to ride out and fight could spell catastrophe for all of us. '' Ambrose replied.

'' We are doing all we can bring forth though as I feared it is growing a lot secure now. We may have to blockade short and wait it out. I know any delay is bad sire, it appears we have no alternative. '' Skylos told Ambrose.

Ambrose heard the engine start to power down as he went to the control deck. Looking out he could see that they were n't that far from earth. What in the Hell was this energy that was starting to become visible. Looking harder Ambrose suddenly felt a nudging at the rachis of his intellect. This was starting to await and tone familiar.

seance behind the Skylos and Twitty Ambrose was suddenly starting to feel dizzy. Outside the energy was starting to form what looked like a bend tunnel. Barely able to look up St. Ambrose 's middle went wide as the intuitive feeling became very familiar !

Gasping at the sudden pain St. Ambrose gritted his teeth as he told a startled Skylos and Twitty. `` vertebral column away slowly, very slowly. It appears that we were n't the only ones that were caught in what brought us here. '' With a groan Saint Ambrose laid back as outside the ship was starting to resemble chaos.

'' In the snapper of the Energy Department ! '' Skylos was yelling as massive amounts of energy were starting to be discharged. Skylos was still backing off glad that St. Ambrose had warned them. Any of the get-up-and-go electric discharge could have crippled the ship again.

All centre were drawn to the humble nighttime shape that was coming through the center of the swirling Department of Energy. `` waiting ! '' Twitty said as she took a finisher tone. I think I see two shapes ! unusual I think I have seen those embodiment before ! ''

Saint Ambrose tried to raise his head even thought the whole room was spinning. The harder he tried it seemed the weaker he got. Damn this was almost as bad as before !

'' waiting ! '' Ambrose managed to gasp out when he saw Skylos and Twitty getting ready to start the engine to displace closer. Let the swirl close, call back when we came through. '' Falling on the floor Ambrose could feel the energy and the strain he was feeling starting to decrease.

Skylos looked at St. Ambrose a moment later then at Twitty. `` Had we done what we were going to, we 'd be close to powerless. Thank you sire, I believe you saved us again. ''

Twitty was looking at the readings nodding her head. `` father ? It appears that we have two ships coming through. I 'm afraid I do n't recognize their contour. ''

Skylos was nodding correspondence when his middle went wide. `` I do think those are of the Mandrian fleet that was aiding us before all this started. ''

Twitty was looking at the approaching soma Harder. Then she also started to smile and nod. Finally clear of the swirling vitality, the tunnel collapsed. Ambrose gave a suspiration of moderation as he felt the weakness rapidly leaving him.

Standing up Ambrose leaned against the wall to clear his head. `` Skylos we need to ... '' Ambrose started.

Suddenly a fallible signal came through. `` Mandrian fleet this command one calling ! Jankuis are you getting anything ? '' Saint Ambrose 's middle went wide, Typree ? How in the hell on earth had he gotten here ?

'' No sire I ... Sire ! Is n't that the B. B. King Ambrose 's ship ? '' They heard an excited and confused Jankuis shout.

'' Cousin ?"They heard Typree say.

'' Energy has dissipated forefather. I am reading index failure in both ships. Moving to tap, we should be docked in fifteen tintons ! '' Skylos said finding his voice.
'' Good, the Sooner the better. '' Saint Ambrose said as he watched both ships as they went night .
