A shocked looking at came over Skylos face as he stared at the satellite. Shaking his forefront he looked closely at his instruments. This was n't land ! He 'd recently been there the coordinates were entirely amiss. Entering all the information that he knew about globe Skylos waited for the electronic computer to picture an explanation.

'' I am dark to disagree with you Queen Twitty ! '' Skylos told her. `` We are at the legal injury coordinates for earth. ''

Twitty her centre still wide turned to stare at Skylos. `` I do n't deal ! I spent two quants on that primitive mud ballock ! I know earth when I see it, though now that you mention it, it does appear to be ... improper ! ''

'' incorrectly my Queen ? '' Skylos asked a slight perplexed. `` In what way ? ''

'' I 'm not sure. '' She said as she stared hard at the image. `` It 's like things are missing and a few others are there that I do n't remember being there. ''

Skylos held his tongue as he awaited the readout from the computer. Four spectons later he was staring at the readout his sassing hanging candid. Dropping like a rock'n'roll into the bidding seat he continued to shake his principal.

Twitty shook Skylos when he failed to serve her interrogation. `` Uh ... '' He said an almost vacant tone in his eyes.

'' Damn it Commander ! '' Reaching back she slapped him across his aspect. `` What is legal injury ? ''

'' I ca n't believe it ! It ca n't be possible ! '' Was all that Skylos could say.

Sighing Twitty reared back slapping Skylos again almost knocking him out of the instruction chair. `` Wake the netherworld up Commander before I forget and work stoppage you with my claw ! '' Twitty advised the wire hair kinship group male.

eye blink a few times the commandant reached up rubbing the side of his face. Turning to look at Twitty she could see that the vacant look was all but gone.

'' Acor ... according to this, '' he said indicating the readout. `` This is earth, but ... ''

'' Told you it was earth ! '' Twitty said with a smug grinning.

'' Yes but it is n't the land we know ! '' Skylos spoke up.

'' What ? ! What in the underworld do you mean ? '' Twitty asked.

According to this we are in the past. I ran it twice to confirm. This is the earth but it was in this placement four hundred forty six and a half quants ago. ( One thousand one hundred seventeen years on earth. )

'' WHAT ! ! ! ! ? ? ? ? '' Niaco and Glenna heard Twitty vociferation. `` Have you lost your mind ! ? ''

Niaco leaned over to Glenna speaking to her. Rising Glenna nodded walking into the ship 's control.

Glenna could see that Twitty was getting to a greater extent upset by the moment, poor Skylos was looking lost.

'' What in the gens of the great feline is going on in here ? '' Glenna asked.

'' I ... he ... it is ... ARGH ! '' Twitty roared as she ran from the room a looking at of skepticism on her face.

Skylos was still staring straight ahead shaking his head.

Grasping his brass Glenna looked into his center, `` Explain whatever it was that you did to Queen Twitty, to me. ''

Skylos nodded as he held up the readout. Glenna looked it over as Skylos repeated what he had to Twitty. Glenna could only nod as he went through each office again. Looking at the read-out she was also shaking her head, the datum tended to agree with his assessment.

'' I do n't have it away how we got here. I do n't completely understand it. According to the data it was corresponding clip stopped and we were shoved backwards. The thing is ? I have absolutely no idea how we are to get back. '' A moment later an alarm started on the console.

Glenna looked at it then Skylos as he sprang into action. `` What seems to be the problem ? '' She asked.

'' I was afraid of this. All the repairs we did are only impermanent. We 're going to have got to set down so we can make up far better repairs outside as well as interior. The thing is I 'm not for sure we can land. The power grid is so washy we might crash, if we do n't then we 'll be seriously depleted muscularity Stephen Samuel Wise. '' Skylos told her as he started to commence an approach of the planet.

Running out Glenna advised the others that they had to land, plus they might crash. Twitty upon hearing this ran for the engine way.

Skylos was sweating heater shaking his forefront he had to try, they had to survive. On final attack Skylos said a supplicant to the great feline when the magnate increased ! `` I do n't know what 's going on but we might make it now. '' Skylos told all those onboard.

'' Though I still ca n't believe what you said I am not about to crash either ! Another specton and I might have you a little more. '' Came the part of Twitty.

'' We are at forty five percent. Another ten we might still experience power when we land. '' Skylos told her.

'' I 'm on it ! '' There was a surge for a moment then the power started to mount another nine percent. `` Damn it ! That 's it I ca n't coax anymore. ''

'' It 's salutary, clear sure the rest are secured then yourself. I can hold this for two spectons, then we HAVE to land ! '' Skylos told her.

'' Going now ! '' Twitty shouted then disconnected.

Ambrose felt the deck lurch a bit as he tried to afford his eyes. Crap whatever in the pit that was wore him out ! Groaning Ambrose tried to sit up finding it was taking all he had just to travel ! Suddenly he heard Niaco and Glenna 's part.

'' We have to batten down him and Adina. '' He heard Glenna saying. `` Skylos said we have to bring down to amend the ship. Though I am afraid we might crash. ''

'' Crash ? Are we that damaged ? '' Niaco asked.

'' We appear to be, though I saw Twitty heading for the locomotive room. Let 's hope there 's Sir Thomas More she can do. '' Glenna explained.

Niaco nodded then Roth and the other Knights lifted Ambrose to get him secured. Wrena and the former hero carefully lifted Adina getting her into a more secure situation. Quickly they all secured themselves as Twitty ran for the restraint room.

Skylos looked up as soon as Twitty entered. `` You need to get secured ... '' He started.

growl Twitty told him, `` There is no way you can land alone and you know it ! I may only have fundamental navigation and pilotage, I do know when a pilot burner needs assistance. '' Skylos started to protest Twitty growled again quickly quieting him.

Sighing Skylos nodded then concentrated on the chore at hand. `` Damn it ! The stabiliser are sluggish ! Even with the rise you got this is still going to be rough out. See if you can plot a course to an open up domain, '' Skylos instructed her.

Twitty nodded as she started to scan the topography, suddenly a gasp came from her. `` I know that construction ! '' She said. `` It 's called Acropolis ! It looks almost new ! '' Turning to search at Skylos she nodded. `` I accept now what you said. ''

Skylos nodded barely paying her attention as the planet was quickly approaching. `` I 'm afraid I am going to have to take hold off on the retros until the last minute to save power. ''

'' Alright, I have adjusted aero quint to help pay off when we enter the atmosphere. '' Twitty responded. She just hoped that they did n't derive in too loyal or the tail fin would be gone in mere tintons !

'' I 'll essay to glide in as soon as we hit the Ionosphere. There 's barely enough there for the louver to have an effect. '' Skylos informed Twitty. `` Four hundred maclons to the exosphere, hang on it 's going to be a little bumpy with the stabilizers at half ! ''

Rapidly approaching the major planet they were having to fight the entire meter to maintain dominance. Suddenly with a lunge they hit the first layer. `` Entering the exosphere, make sure the shell are up or we 're cooked ! '' Skylos told her.

'' Speed four maclons a half tinton and starting to decelerate ! '' Twitty informed Skylos.

'' good, keep an eye on it, induce sure we are at that, or crushed ! '' Skylos replied.

Twitty nodded as she started to correct the aero fins more and more. `` I 'm reading the thermosphere rapidly approaching ! '' Twitty advised as the ship shook a bit then settled. `` shell are up but straining. ''

'' Damn it ! We need them almost all the way to the aerofoil ! Compensating now. '' Skylos said as the shaking lessened then the ship was still. `` I think that should aid. ''

Twitty was nodding when the ship lurched again. `` Contact with the ionosphere ! Trying to adjust, the aero fins
are starting to heat up ! '' Twitty 's custody were flying across the attitude controls of the fins. `` Ah ! Better temperature dropping ! ''

'' Keep an eye on then. We 're only halfway, I 'd say we 've got another thirty two hecksons ( about fifty miles ) until the surface. If we can progress to twenty two hecksons we should be ok. '' Skylos told Twitty.

Looking over at him Twitty saw that he was sweating as he had a about dying travelling bag on the controls.

Almost ten spectons later they broke through the swarm. Twitty had a line plotted not too far from the huge pyramid building she 'd seen earlier.

'' Landing site ahead, '' Twitty advised Skylos as she also applied pressure to the controls.

'' Damn it ! The index is almost gone we have to land now ! Or we might not make it ! '' With that Skylos pointed almost straightforward toward the ground then pulled up as he sighed when the retros came on.

'' Coming in a little fast Skylos ! '' Twitty yelled above the straining ship.

'' Yes I know ! '' There was a sudden shaking as the ship started to skip, its shell barely keeping the ship off the ground. Cursing under his breath Skylos tapped into the last of the major power. Shaking the ship stopped, half buried not far from the large pyramid.

Getting up Twitty ran to check the others. Looking around the room almost all of them were alright though it appeared that Saint Thomas 's arm was broken. Checking the male they had captured, Twitty looked at Thomas shaking her question. She found the male person 's neck had been snapped when something heavy had collided with him. Again she looked at Thomas and his broken arm.

'' I 've got him my queen, '' Mileen told her a second later. `` He tried to fix the prisoner. He was thrown against the majority head. '' Here Mileen growled low. `` I should snap off the other just to teach him a lesson ! ''

Twitty 's heart went spacious then she whispered to Mileen. `` If you did then you 'd own to take care of him. Are you really prepared for that ? Now ? ''

Mileen thought a moment then shook her psyche no bowing to Twitty.

Skylos came stumbling out of the bidding running back to the engine room. Twitty on his hand. Looking around Skylos nodded then sighed. `` Thank the great felid ! We still have superpower. Though it is going to contract a lot of work to fix everything. First thing we need to witness the metal, then we 'll necessitate liquid taak'in to re-power the engines. ''

Twitty was nodding the whole fourth dimension. `` What is the number one thing we need to do ? ''

'' I 've got barely plenty left to glance over the ship but we 'll possess to get the taak'in soon. I am not wanting to try and restart the engines manually. We have to continue at least one engine online. ''

Sighing Twitty left as Skylos set about scanning the ship. Walking to where the others were Twitty revealed their almost do-or-die situation.

'' Taak'in ? Is n't that a common worthless alloy ? It 's so soft it has hardly any use but for energy. '' Niaco replied.

'' On our world yes, though this is earth although be it C of quants in the past. It was intemperately to get hold in our time when Ambrose and I were here. I just hope the local are n't too war like. Would n't want to end up killing all of them to get what we need to get back. '' Twitty told all of them.
With a groan Ambrose finally managed to get his eyes open. `` No, '' he whispered still weak. `` We will not kill any of them. You still do n't be intimate where we are do you Twitty. '' Ambrose told her.

'' Ambrose ! '' Three female voices shouted as they all tried to sit him up. Then Twitty thought about what St. Ambrose had said.

'' No mate I only know that the construction that we are near is and was called Acropolis. '' Twitty told him.

Ambrose nodded slightly barely able to accommodate his head up. `` It 's called Acropolis in Toniná, Chiapas. ''

Ambrose waited as what he 'd just said sank in. `` You mean to tell me that THIS is THAT Acropolis ! ! ? ? '' Niaco almost shouted. `` The place that our ascendent launched from to descend the 12 domain of the realm ! ''

Ambrose got a grinning on his expression as he watched the warring emotions play across Twitty 's aspect. `` That 's why you went there ! Even with the judgment shield you somehow knew ! '' Twitty said her mouth capable staring at Ambrose with awe.

'' I was n't really indisputable until I found this. '' St. Ambrose said as he pulled a belittled gold medallion from his pocket. `` It 's the same one that I wear now. ''

Twitty stared at the one around St. Ambrose 's neck opening, then the one he held in his grasp. `` The ancient royal insignia, '' Twitty said with a pant. `` How ? I never saw you pick it up. I was with you the whole time ! ''

Ambrose smiled as he nodded. `` I obviously put this where I knew I would depend later. I happened to lean against the wall opening where this was hidden. I think that 's when the buckler started to crack. I kept this as it held a lot of some feeling to me in my psyche though I knew not what. ``

A moment later Skylos came walking through on the way back to bidding. Stopping he bowed to Ambrose. `` well forefather I hope you are feeling better. '' Skylos said.

'' I 've been better Captain, '' Ambrose said as he watched the surprise look on Skylos typeface. `` How bad is the price ? ''

Sighing Skylos started in on what he 'd witness. `` The mere fact that we landed with to the highest degree buckler in place kept structural damage to nothing. I am afraid though, that the office grid is seriously depleted. We have to find a orotund quantity of liquidness Taak'in or we might never leave. ''

St. Ambrose was nodding as he was trying to remember something that he 'd read before about this part of earth 's history. `` As I remember in our time Taak'in was n't that readily available on earth. Though on virtually of the twelve planets it 's a vernacular useless sonant metal. ''

'' Yes forefather I know. I just hope we can find sufficiency to get space worthy. We know not what the atmosphere here might have upon us. '' Skylos said a footling hesitantly. Remember the terra firma of our time we had to have special medicine in Holy Order to sustain control. ''

'' I remember captain. '' Looking around at all of them Ambrose sat taller as he told them. `` point of accumulation being outdoors as a good deal as possible, Twitty both you and Skylos try not to be seen. I know we landed not far from Acropolis, watch each former as much as possible. I want all of you to watch as much as possible. I need to step out as soon as possible. ''

Ambrose arose on shaky pegleg as he stepped toward the hatch. `` Sire ? '' Skylos suddenly looked up from an tool with spacious eyes. `` According to this you have Taak'in on you ! It 's in an impure form but I am reading Taak'in ! ''

Ambrose nodded as Skylos stepped up to him with a pocket-sized electronic pad. Skylos started to pass it slowly over Ambrose listening as the device started to beep faster. Finally Skylos stopped at a pocket of St. Ambrose, reaching in Saint Ambrose brought out the ribbon. This of grade made the device go half-baked !

Skylos eyes got bombastic when he looked at the reading on the device. `` father, come me please ? '' Ambrose nodded as everyone went back to the engine room. Opening a venire Skylos, reaching in, withdrew a container with a dark burned looking lumpy metal in it.

'' May I try something sire ? I do n't believe it will harm the medallion. '' Skylos asked.

Ambrose handed the Captain the medallion. Watching Skylos carefully placed the medallion in the center of the inside chamber. Nodding Skylos closed the panel then flipped a few switch then a few more. Suddenly respective machines that had been silent came to life !

Nodding Skylos turned to all of them. We have twenty five percent power for now. Though I ca n't prevent it there that long as it is a self-colored form. It will serve to alleviate repairs faster. We have to find more sire soon ! ''

Nodding St. Ambrose again walked to the hatch he had to get out for a few present moment. They all needed to in gild to keep sane. Looking at the view silver screen Saint Ambrose saw that no one had ventured near yet, good ! Maybe they 'd stay away until they left. St. Ambrose smiled then shake up his question they never had luck that good !

Stepping out Ambrose took a deep lung cleansing breath as did the others. Nodding Ambrose could almost feel the difference that the air in the ship and out here made. Shaking his head he could feel his felid face trying to involve over ! Inferno at this rate they would last Thomas More than a few hours before they might succumb.

Ambrose was turning to sit when he heard a belittled voice. What the hell ? That was in our language ! No one on ground knew the nomenclature the of the Felim raceway ! Did they ? Looking around he heard it again almost like it was muffled.

Walking back towards the aero fins he started to hear it a bit more. `` Help ! Father-God ! Help me delight ! It 's getting heard to pass off ! ''

Roaring Ambrose sprung into natural action as he started to throw John Rock and dirt away from the prat of the aero fin. `` Where are you ! '' Saint Ambrose was roaring.

'' hello ? I can barely hear someone. You are above me ! Please for the mercy of Cit-Chac-Coh. Please save me ! '' The female voice was saying.

Ambrose felt the muscles in his arms start to yen as he dug and pulled faster. `` most there ! '' He yelled as he was already almost two human foot down under the fin.

Beside him three of his horse were also digging as fast as they could. Finally two spectons later St. Ambrose broke through. A immature cleaning lady 's font appeared as she started to project her arms around Ambrose then stopped. a look of great shock on her human face as she could only stare at all four of the beings in front of her.

Falling to her knees St. Ambrose heard her whisper. `` Thank you Cit-Chac-Coh, I am dingy I almost threw my weaponry around you. I thank you and your guards for saving me. How may I serve you ? ''

Saint Ambrose 's mouth dropped surface ! Cit-Chac-Coh ? By the corking felid ! That was the true name they used to call the great feline ! She thought he was the bang-up felid ! ! ? Shaking his top dog, ‘ Great,'he thought, ‘ that was all he needed right now !'

'' Please rise up young cleaning woman. '' Looking at the others Ambrose closed his eyes reverting to his human variant. Opening his eyes he saw all his horse with a horrified face. Looking at the shaking female they nodded then very slowly reverted to their seldom used human form. `` There is that improve ? ''

The young adult female looked up her mouthpiece in a expectant O. `` It is as you wish. '' She said as she could only stare .
