St. Ambrose was running as fast as he could out the rachis of the castle. Off in the distance he could get a line the whimper of a craft lifting off. Roaring Ambrose tried to increase his stop number toward the strait. Breaking into the undefended Ambrose tried to leap at the lifting workmanship only to shine short.

Close on his hound were his knight, champion and Niaco. Roaring in frustration as the craft lifted skyward. Even as he watched he saw his maven police cruiser appear firing on the ascending guile. `` Skylos, '' Ambrose roared ! `` Bring them down Princess Adina is on board ! ''

Changing tactics Ambrose 's ace police cruiser started to make more pin point hits. Then suddenly the foreign craft climbed faster evading the pleasure craft making receptive place. Cursing Skylos was about to have chase, then landed future to Ambrose and the others. Leaping aboard St. Ambrose shouted, `` make for distance ! Catch them ! ''

Nodding the wire hair kin group commandant, Skylos, quickly lifted the star pleasure boat giving chase. `` On it now father. I managed to hit their engine so they wo n't be able-bodied to obliterate. We should view them soon ! ''

'' Good senior pilot, go ! '' Ambrose roared as they felt the ship accelerate. St. Ambrose was pacing the deck angry that he had allowed this to happen. Shit he thought ! Her brother was going to get down destroying things if Adina got hurt. Saint Ambrose felt a paw on his shoulder as he whirled roaring at Niaco almost lashing out at her.

Bowing shaking a little she stated, `` We will fight to the death for the family my mate. Have no fear of that. If need be we will lay waste to the Talandian world if she is harmed ! '' Ambrose's eyes went vauntingly as all his Knights, Paladins and Niaco bowed before him. `` We all pledge to release her Paraguay tea. ``

'' It is good to go into battle with such fast people ! So be it ! If the Talandian planet has to run red with blood then by the outstanding feline it will ! This shall be the utmost time that the land is betrayed by them ! ''

All of his knight and Paladins raised their swords as they cheered. Roth leaned close whispering, `` marvellous lecture sire ! Your father would be extremely proud of you ! ''

'' Thank you Roth but it was n't a manner of speaking. I meant every word of honor of it ! We have to make sure this can never happen again ! '' Ambrose whispered back to Roth.

Philip Roth turned from St. Ambrose walking to Skylos, after a moment he was on the radio. `` This is General Philip Roth I want every ship, every soldier ready to go. Follow us to Talandia we will finally put this uprising to remain ! ''

Turning the radio off Roth spoke briefly to Skylos then walked back to Ambrose.

'' Are we closing the aloofness ? '' Ambrose asked of Roth.

'' Captain Skylos said we are gaining, he is afraid that the former craftsmanship might land before we over consider it. He is mad that he did n't damage it more. '' Roth relayed.

Ambrose smiled he 'd wish nothing better than to blow the hell out of the early ship. Had Adina not been aboard Ambrose figured the former would be junk by now.

Onboard the early ship Twitty and Glenna were bidding their fourth dimension before they struck. They really had no idea how to land the hulk of a ship.

Adina 's kidnapper cursed under his hint they were being followed ! Damn it ! Looking over everything he again cursed. The brief scuffle he 'd had escaping had obviously damaged the ship More than he thought ! Looking again he saw that the other ship was starting to over demand him. Making several adjustments the male smiled. It was of no import his chaser would n't hitch him before he landed.

Skylos cursed as he started to adjust his equipment as much as he could. He had to pick up them it was a disgrace if he did n't ! Pushing the engine they crept even closer. Skylos smiled more as the engines strained upright they were closing faster !

The kidnapper cursed again as he saw that his pursuer was closing faster ! Damn it at this rate they 'd have him in orbit ! `` Predator to king ! I suggest you get some financial backing up here or you're going to recede your prize ! ''

'' King to predator, we have no ... '' came Conrad 's representative.

'' Like I said get them here or this is the lastly you will try from me. I will not be a captive of Xendra not for you nor any other ! Get them here now ! '' The male person growled out at Conrad.

'' On the way ! We have a reception committee if they get past. '' Conrad said through clenched teeth. This assassin was seriously pissing him off !

'' honest ! Then make I should cause her to you very soon, '' the male said looking over at the unconscious form of Adina. She was n't well trained though he could see that she had the basics down. It had been a long sentence since a novice had surprised him.

Skylos cursed as his eyes went wide seeing the ten ships that were approaching from the planet. Roaring he got off two shots that shook the early ship dropping it back into normal space. Arming all weapon system a violent grin crossed his features.

'' I have ten foeman ships approaching ! I need some of you on the pulse cannons ! I can get some of them though not all ! '' Skylos shouted.

All four of horse got wicked smiles as they went to the mid-ship junction. Roth went up ; Gwayne went down, Gregor left and Thomas right. A moment later they all reported in.

'' Mid-ship weapon report ! '' Skylos shouted.

'' larboard side on transmission line, '' Gregor reported.

'' Starboard up and running, '' came Thomas 's reply.

'' Bow top cannon activated, '' came Philip Milton Roth 's result.

'' Stern cannon ready ! Let 's blow these traitors out of the sky ! '' Came Gwayne 's shout.

Skylos smiled more then started to adjust as the ships rushed toward them. `` Here they come ! Contact one half specton ! ''

A moment later there were various explosions as the ten, and then only five ships started to fire on them. `` Damn it ! '' Came Roth 's voice as he missed then Gwayne got the ship !

'' You 're getting old Roth ! '' They heard Gwayne say.

growl Roth took out another two that crossed in front of the ship. `` Shut up Gwayne ! Beat that ! '' The last two exploded suddenly on either slope of the ship.

'' Good job moving in to wiretap the former ship. '' Skylos said as they quickly approached the other ship. They 'd almost docked, the four knights starting to free from their pulsing shank when Skylos started shouting. `` Looks like we are n't done yet ! Twenty more inbound ! ''

Looking down the corridor to Gwayne 's situation Roth smiled. `` We 'll see who is old, Gwayne ! ``

Nodding at Roth, Gwayne growled back to him, `` Yes I think we will old one ! ''

Growling Skylos shouted, `` Fight later ! Get back online ! touch in a specton ! ''

Ambrose was pacing as he watched the battle, he hated being a sitting target like this ! Going up forepart Skylos looked up pointing to a seat. Ambrose smiled, sitting taking the auto throb cannon control in his paw.

Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski watched the firstly wave disappear within moments. What in the hell was this ship using ? Then he saw that it was that bastard nephew of his. Shaking his head he knew the bit waving was n't going to be effective either. Ordering up the heavier armored ships he sent them as fast as he could behind the second wafture.

Roth cursed when Gwayne had equaled the score of ships destroyed to his own. The back wave destroyed Skylos moved to intercept the early ship again. Opening the airlock they started in stopping shortly when the male had Adina 's unconscious body with a knife at her throat.

A wicked grin crossed his face as he looked up seeing all of them. Then he growled as Thomas entered the room as did Thomas.

'' So traitor ! You have to shroud behind the skirts of an unconscious female person ! Now I am extremely glad that I killed that traitorous father of yours ! Perhaps now I can stop the stallion double-crosser family ! I missed the slaying of that cunt of a mother of yours ! '' Thomas hissed out.

The male 's grating vocalization filled the room, `` not nearly as glad as I will be when I kill this one. To end even a bastard off shoot of this phratry will be satisfying ! '' Smiling a sinful smile, the male started to weightlift forward with the tongue even as Ambrose shouted no.

Suddenly everything froze as Ambrose rushed forward knocking the knife from the grasp of the male. Raking his paw across the Male 's side Ambrose ripped Adina 's physical structure from him.

An uttermost look of surprise and repugnance crossed the male 's face as everything started to move again. Reaching for his sword he suddenly stopped when he felt not one but two blade distributor point against his back.

'' Though I wish to rip you apart, I leave that purity for Seth Thomas ! '' Came the grumble voice of Twitty.

'' So special agent Twitty I see you have passed to the side by side stratum. The other look like elite guard duty Glenna. '' Nodding the male stopped when he felt the compass point push forward a bit more. Dylan Thomas came forward cuffing the Male with the derriere of his sword knocking him out.

'' I suggest we search him. He kept a variety of weapons hidden, I suspect even more now. '' Dylan Thomas said removing at to the lowest degree twenty dollar bill in a quarter specton.

'' SIRE ! '' Came the excited voice of Skylos. `` All of you need to get back here ! We have another undulation of ships approaching ! These are far more combat set up than the first off two Wave ! ``

Ambrose nodded as he took a precarious footstep toward the airlock. Adina 's eye suddenly opened then went panoptic as she saw everyone. Locking on Ambrose they went wider when she saw him momentarily shaken as he stepped forward.

[ cousin-german ! You used the final top executive of royal family again did n't you ? ] Came Adina 's thoughts.

With a sigh Ambrose looked at her then nodded. `` I did n't use the full extent of it though. Only about ten tintons as you and Typree suggested. I feel a little weak though no where as badly as last fourth dimension. ''

[ Good I am afraid I ca n't recover my voice right now. Whatever that traitor used on me has rendered my throat numb ] Replied Adina 's intellection. Gaining her pes Adina slowly made her way onboard also.

Slamming the airlock shut Skylos ran for the command way. Undocking from the alien ship Skylos started to earn his way from Talandia. His eyes broad Skylos started to curse as he saw that they were n't going to get that far as their hyper drive was offline. Running from the command deck Skylos was in the railway locomotive room adjusting and replacing all he could.

Twitty followed as she stared at several burned circuits. Grabbing a case she started replacing what she could beside Skylos. Looking up, then at what she was doing Skylos nodded, then made for the command deck. Adjusting again he felt the hyper thrust activate though only at a quarter major power.

'' I 'm afraid the cuticle are low sire. Your mate has managed to get them back up but I do n't think it will be enough. '' A beeping drew his aid then he nodded. `` I need at to the lowest degree twice as much if we are to get at least half hyper movement back online. ''

'' I 'll do what I can. A few of these are too badly burned to gist repair. '' Came Twitty 's vocalisation.

'' I know, do what you can, at least we are making outdoors space. '' Then turning toward Ambrose, he said, `` We need more in parliamentary law to have them. The final struggle with the second undulation seriously over taxed the system. '' Turning Skylos adjusted again then smiled as the hyper driveway came up to half.

'' We have help coming though I 'm not sure they will reach us before we are over taken. We have to ... '' Saint Ambrose started when the com went off.

'' Cousin ? Are you alright ? '' Came the voice of Typree.

'' For the present moment we are though your sister ca n't speak. '' Saint Ambrose replied.

'' By the capital felid it must be so passive ! '' Typree replied.

[ I heard that brother ! ] Came the forte thoughts of Adina.

[ Damn she 's pissed. ] Thought Typree.

[ Wait ! ] A startled Ambrose persuasion. [ Where are you ? I thought you had to be close to use it ! ]

[ climax in from ... ] Typree started.

'' Sire ! I have a big force-out moving around the planet ! They are approaching at high hurrying. I 'm afraid Sire, we are screwed ! '' Reported Skylos.

'' That would be me and my military unit Captain. I congratulate you on your superb handling of the situation. Were you not the King 's I 'd try to steal you away to help train my fleet. '' Typree told the Captain. `` Thank you for protecting my cousin as well. We 'll engage it from here ! ''

Ambrose watched as the effect of Talandian ships suddenly turned firing at the oncoming fleet. Though weighty armored the Talandian fleet was having a heavy time against the oncoming Mandrian fleet. midway through the battle two ships broke off heading toward Ambrose 's ship.

'' Two got through ! I need all of you on the cannons ! Switch to high pulsing rate, make every gibe count ! We might only get a few dig from each ! '' All the Knights scrambled to the cannon as Skylos yelled. `` tabby Twitty please come out ! I 'm afraid there 's no more we can do right now ! ''

'' Damn it ! What are we at ? '' Came her reply.

'' We 've got over half cuticle. Maneuverability at threescore percentage. Barely enough to power the high pulsation on the cannons I am afraid. '' Skylos replied.

'' Damn it ! I thought that shoemaker's last junction I repaired helped. '' She shouted.

'' You did activate it did n't you ? After you repaired it ? '' Skylos asked.

'' Activate ? I thought they did automatically, horseshit ! '' Twitty yelled as she disconnected.

A instant later Skylos watched as one then three then six juncture came back on ! holy place shit ! They had seventy five pct buckler ! Plus their maneuverability was at eighty percent ! Running up front Twitty smiled when she looked at the readings. `` I thought I 'd repaired more than that ! ''

Skylos stared at her with wide middle ; she might have saved their liveliness !

'' Great job queen mole rat Twitty ! It 's just the advantage we need ! '' Skylos told her.

Even as he turned back they were engaging the enemy ships. Roth and the others were trying to resist firing continuously at the two ships. Finally two spectons later one of the ships exploded. The other had just started around on another attack when several pellet got through striking the front of the ship.

Even as Roth yelled taking it out also. Ambrose 's eyes went wide as he heard the breach alarm. Reaching out he felt Philip Milton Roth as he was trying to escape. Suddenly Roth was flying through the space the room access stopped as was everything. Growling Ambrose growled pulling harder feeling the close baron of royalty stop.

Roth was on the deck at Ambrose 's paws. Ambrose was panting shaking his psyche he could feel something building high and high-pitched within him. imprecate it ! What was this unknown feeling ? Why the the pits could n't he stop it ? Trying to calm only made it high-risk.

Adina 's eyes were across-the-board she 'd only matte up this once the time that her male parent had used too much. Then he wasted away to nil.

[ cousin-german ! energy it away ! It 's the only way to close it off ! I know it 's hard, you have too ! ] Came Adina 's thoughts.

[ I 've tried everything except embracing it. Nothing is helping. At to the lowest degree if I do I can protect all of you ! ] Saint Ambrose thought to her.

[ NO first cousin ! That 's how Church Father felt, it killed him ! I ca n't lose you again cousin. I ca n't ! ] Adina's thoughts were yelling.

Running to Ambrose she threw her weapons system around him locking her mitt as a shock started to run through her.

Ambrose could only stare at his cousin-german as her body started to convulse with what was running through her. Let go he thought this could wipe out you, you little fool !

[ NO ! I wo n't ! I refuse to fall behind you again ! ] Her thoughts shouted though feeble.

Ambrose felt tears from her eyes then suddenly felt the top executive within scratch to lower.

Up front Skylos could only gaze as quad suddenly went dark outside the battlefront view screen ! What in the name of the great feline was going on ? He 'd seen the ship showtime to affect away from the battle, and then suddenly the instruments seemed to be running in reverse ?

It felt like an 60 minutes had passed when as suddenly as it started space started to re-emerge again. Looking down he saw that the verso of the equipment was slowing then it stopped slowly going forward again. Shaking his psyche he watched as a strange planet appeared in front on them. Why does that look familiar he thought.

Ambrose finally felt the power outset to decrease. Adina still had her arms locked around him. Finally the power was gone, then Ambrose fell to his knee joint, crap he felt weak !

Skylos ran from the mastery deck, `` I 'm going to need help we seem to have lost force. We 're drifting toward a planet I do n't recognize. '' Twitty nodded as did various of the knights as they all took off toward the engine room.

Niaco and Glenna gently laid Adina then Saint Ambrose on the deck. Covering them both Ambrose whispered to Niaco. Her eyes astray she nodded to Ambrose.

Skylos was directing all of the horse and paladin as they all started to replace circumference. Two spectons later he nodded as he headed back to the
command deck. Looking over everything he cursed they had hardly enough force to land. That in its ego was going to be a miracle. Sighing he tried to institute at least one engine online. They were starting to drift toward the planet.

'' I 've gotten two junctions back on. The eternal rest are fried it appears. Trying to hot wire two more than, sorry that 's all I can do. '' Twitty said on the receiving set. Skylos nodded as one engine came on slowing their glide path. A surprised tone came to his heart as he saw the shields come up also. Not a lot but sufficiency for them to at least kingdom !

Twitty came into command a minute later. `` I think you saved all our lives again. How is the king ? '' Skylos asked.

'' He appears to be exhausted, I ... '' Twitty started.

Skylos looked over at Twitty whose eyes were panoptic staring at the planet in the view screen. `` Are you all right Queen Twitty ? '' A worry Skylos asked.

'' That planet ! '' Twitty whispered. `` That 's ground ! ''
