The chief swallowed hard as all the cat God huddled together. ‘ Oh divinity,'the chief thinking, ‘ please grant your chum to avail us in the follow tryout and battle.'Still afraid to rise the chief patiently awaited the decision of Cit-Chac-Coh and his supporter. They must be as he was commanding all of them.

Ambrose turned back to the boss to ask a few more than question. He sighed when he noticed that the man was still on his knees. `` Stand great chieftain of the people. '' Saint Ambrose commanded. `` We have much to hash out about this opposition. ''

The chief nodded as he got off his genu. Ambrose looked at his knights and partner as he shifted back to his human being form. All of them again wore a dismay flavour but quickly nodded as they also shifted. The chief 's sassing dropped open as he could only gaze at them. Then he nodded yes, they were indeed the god of old.

A moment later the head's guards came back in bowing low to the chief. St. Ambrose 's heart 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 middle went wide as he bowed to Ambrose nodding his brain. `` I am honored that you recognize me my lord. '' The man quickly turned to the guard duty whispering to them. Each in turn, turned to stare at Ambrose, his knights and his mates their mouths gaping undetermined.

'' This is not to leave this room ! 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 eat up. `` You used two ancient word of honor that we do n't recognize. '' Twitty stated.

'' Yes, please what do they think of. I know that you had a good deal education in the history of our the great unwashed. I have also though obviously nowhere as practically as you. '' Glenna told Ambrose.

Ambrose turned to the both of them a little surprised when no one knew of the two words that he 'd spoken. Pulling all of them aside Ambrose explained. `` I was thinking that he was the chief of this city. I had forgotten that the headman were never afford the respect that this man has. I had been calling him a nohchil or gaffer in the ancient language, it means chieftain. ''

Roth nodded, `` a very old discussion indeed. I have n't heard many words of the ancient speech in many quants. What is the early word father ? ''

'' Ahau, a news just as old, '' here Ambrose looked over at the man talking to his safeguard. `` It means Martin Luther King, I had forgotten that all city-state had a king. '' Thinking a moment Ambrose nodded, `` I believe that the king 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 thinking. I believe we are one hundred and thirty five Thomas More quants back than we at first thought. ''

'' What ! ! ? '' Twitty almost shouted. `` I was having a punishing sufficiency time thinking we were four hundred forty six and a half quants back in clip. 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 important that we save this metropolis. If I 'm right-hand this is the city of Tikal. They are about to be attacked by the conterminous city state of Calakmul or Caracol. Though it may have been both of them. Tikal being as feeble as it is, both might have attacked. ''

Roth, Gwayne, and Gregor were nodding agreement to the judgement of the situation. `` Sire we could actually turn the tide of the fight. '' Roth started then stopped seeing the smell of concentration on Ambrose 's case. `` I am sorry if I over stepped sire. '' Roth quickly said.

Ambrose shook his head as he looked up at Roth. `` It 's not that you over stepped Philip Milton Roth, I 'm just trying to remember the account of this place. I am also crossing it with the history of our own worlds. '' With a sigh St. 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 accrue in the next two to three mintons. As history goes this HAS to happen. ''

Gregor and Gwayne 's rima oris were hanging open 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 chance for them to institute the beginning of their own humanity. Both hung their drumhead realizing that Roth was proper, even so neither of them were happy about it in the least.

Ambrose sighed they needed to lead off taking everyone out of here as fast as potential. Pulling a small comp from his belt Ambrose quietly contacted Skylos. `` Skylos ! We need to bump a way to transport more. ''

'' Yes Sire, I 've been trying to remove what I could to make more room. At present I think we can withdraw one hundred LXX five. I am taking a few of the walls down that I am hoping will open adequate room for xx five more than. Beyond that sire I do n't cerebrate we can do any more. '' Skylos advised Ambrose.

'' Excellent commandant ! How yearn before we can come out to motivate them ? I 'm afraid we only have possibly two mintons, three if we 're lucky. '' Ambrose told the Commander.

'' 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. '' St. Ambrose clicked off. Going to his knights and mates St. Ambrose told all of them then went to the top executive. `` We have to go prepare that which we will take the people to the other place with. We will bring it near the edge of the urban center. Please have as many fix to go as you can. ''

The Martin Luther King Jr. looked at Ambrose with spacious eyes. `` I will do as you command O nifty Cit-Chac-Coh. All will be ready when you return. We are also preparing to keep our enemies away while you take the quietus away to safety. '' Here the Riley B King and his guards bowed low to Ambrose and his horse. `` Your will be done. ''

Saint Ambrose could only roll his eyes after the King said this. Especially after they all bowed to him. Shaking his head Ambrose set out with the rest of his group following. Finally out of batch of the city Ambrose and the others shifted form, racing for the ship. Half a toton later they were set.

'' Alright Skylos I want the ship on the bound of the city. I just hope the king has them fix. '' Ambrose said.

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

'' Everything looking adept, now leveling off. We are free of all obstructions, ready to proceed air force officer. '' Twitty replied.

'' in force moving to aim metre, half a specton. '' Skylos said. A moment later they were setting down. Looking out St. Ambrose saw that more than a few hundred were waiting. Stepping out Ambrose was met by the tycoon. `` You have done well king Wak Chan K'awiil. '' The king 's mouthpiece dropped exposed then he nodded.

'' We will remain with them until we have to delay our enemies advance. '' The male monarch told Ambrose.

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

The magnate and his men all smiled obeisance. `` You give us the greatest honor Lord Cit-Chac-Coh. We will send as many of our enemy to underworld slave pits as we can. There they can operate all eternity to meet your glory ! '' All the men were quiet as Ambrose nodded shifting to his feline form. Then there was a tremendous cheer as Saint Ambrose began to go masses into the ship.

fillet everyone a moment Ambrose searched the sea of mass. `` I need the therapist Hippacamp and his daughter Timora with this number one grouping ! '' The concourse of citizenry separated as both the people that St. Ambrose had called walked to the ship. `` I need the both of you to be there commencement 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 postulate farseeing to get through our new home plate ? ''

Ambrose was taken back as this was the first gear prison term anyone had felt brave enough to ask. `` It wo n't subscribe to that farseeing. We are hoping to hold many moved before the day is over. ''

Timora nodded as she stepped in farther with her male parent. Ambrose looked at the number of people packed into the ship. Sighing he wished they had another ship to hie things along.

Not long after Saint 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 sire, '' came Skylos interpreter. `` I 'll return just as soon as potential. '' With that Ambrose stepped back as the ship accelerated then was gone.

Ambrose turned back to those that were still there. Then walked to the Billie Jean Moffitt King. `` I 'm meritless 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 understanding then turned to Ambrose. `` Lord Cit-Chac-Coh the fact that as many are safe now as there are, makes my philia soar that we have saved that many. Any More after this will only provide an even stronger future for our mass. Yes Maker our citizenry. '' The king said when he saw Ambrose 's optic get wide of the mark.

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

Ambrose walked to his mates, Paladins and his three knights that were there. Philip Milton Roth noticed him approaching kneeling before him. `` I see you moving with a determined pace sire. I take it you have a mission for us ? ''

St. Ambrose smiled slightly it was just like Roth to almost live what he had in mind. Shaking his head 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 advance 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 distressing forefather but the trip was unmanageable. I will need Queen Twitty to follow me. It might also help if you also come along. The passenger were very unsettled when you did n't play along us. ''

Grabbing his comm. Ambrose called Twitty back. A few moments later she appeared. Smiling tumid she shook her paw at Skylos, `` I told you it was almost unacceptable 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 optic. `` adequate Twitty ! We are all three going this time. I am apparently needed to keep those on board calmer. '' Twitty nodded her drumhead as she looked Ambrose up and down. Ok she thought she could gibe with that assessment of Ambrose.

Shaking his head Ambrose watched the two of them enter then he started to load More mass. Not long after Ambrose stepped in securing the door. A import later they were space bound accelerating toward Xendra. With a size Saint Ambrose startled to loosen, 'til suddenly the ship was rocking from turbulence.

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

'' I 'm not sure sire, detecting inviolable waves of energy on the same path as the one we were on when we first arrived. '' Skylos returned a present moment later.

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

'' No sire, not at the moment though when we return if they are strong we might suffer trouble. '' Came Skylos reply.

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

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

Ambrose was nodding as he saw that near of the the great unwashed 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 ship starting time to slacken as it approached Xendra. `` Everyone please prepare to leave the ship. Those that left before are there waiting for you. ''

A few instant later the room access opened as this set of people moved out the threshold. Timora was there when the last of the passenger left. `` sire we are setting up protection for now. A few of the men have said that they will start fully tomorrow. Will you and your assistants be capable to serve us afterward ? ''

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

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

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

vibration her head she quickly recognized the look on Ambrose 's face. Holding up her paw Saint Ambrose stopped in forepart of her. `` kickoff off I know that had you no doubt you would feature said as often. Bringing them here is n't enough, they need hope for the hereafter and the courage I know that you and you alone can instill in them. ''

Ambrose sighed then nodded, he knew as well that she was speaking nothing but the truth. `` Alright, let 's get another loading of them here. The more the meliorate. 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 terra firma when Skylos started to frown then was adjusting their way of life. `` forefather I am still picking up those strange push readings. It appears that the finisher we get the stiff they get. ''

'' Running a detailed scan now sire we should have got an solution soon. '' Twitty relayed to Ambrose.

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

'' We are doing all we can sire though as I feared it is growing a lot stronger now. We may bear to stop shortstop and wait it out. I know any wait is bad sire, it appears we have no choice. '' Skylos told Ambrose.

Saint Ambrose heard the engines start to power down as he went to the instruction pack of cards. 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 turn visible. Looking harder Ambrose suddenly felt a nudging at the back of his nous. This was starting to look and smell familiar.

posing behind the Skylos and Twitty St. Ambrose was suddenly starting to find dizzy. Outside the DOE was starting to form what looked like a turning burrow. Barely able to look up Ambrose 's optic went wide as the touch became very familiar !

Gasping at the sudden pain in the neck Ambrose gritted his teeth as he told a startled Skylos and Twitty. `` Back away slowly, very slowly. It appears that we were n't the lone single that were caught in what brought us here. '' With a moan Ambrose laid back as outside the ship was starting to resemble chaos.

'' In the snapper of the energy ! '' Skylos was yelling as monolithic measure of energy were starting to be discharged. Skylos was still backing off gladiolus that Saint Ambrose had warned them. Any of the Energy outpouring could have crippled the ship again.

All eyes were drawn to the small dark shape that was coming through the shopping center of the swirling vigour. `` Wait ! '' Twitty said as she took a closer smell. I think I see two material body ! unusual I think I have seen those shapes before ! ''

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

'' hold ! '' Ambrose managed to gasp out when he saw Skylos and Twitty getting set up to start the engines to move closer. Let the convolution close, remember when we came through. '' Falling on the level Saint Ambrose could sense the free energy and the air he was feeling starting to fall.

Skylos looked at 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 recital nodding her foreland. `` Sire ? It appears that we have two ships coming through. I 'm afraid I do n't recognize their configuration. ''

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

Twitty was looking at the approaching build Harder. Then she also started to smile and nod. Finally clear of the swirling free energy, the tunnel collapsed. Saint Ambrose gave a sigh of relief as he felt the weakness rapidly leaving him.

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

Suddenly a frail signal came through. `` Mandrian fleet this control one calling ! Jankuis are you getting anything ? '' St. Ambrose 's centre went full, Typree ? How in the pit had he gotten here ?

'' No sire I ... forefather ! Is n't that the king Ambrose 's ship ? '' They heard an excited and blur Jankuis shout.

'' full cousin ?"They heard Typree say.

'' get-up-and-go has dissipated father. I am reading top executive failure in both ships. Moving to tap, we should be docked in fifteen tintons ! '' Skylos said finding his phonation.
'' trade good, the Oklahoman the skilful. '' Ambrose said as he watched both ships as they went dark .
