Protectors of War

The two brothers saw Karana's stunt. Jaden thought she was crazy, while Irik thought the stunt was awesome. The older brother gave her a thumbs up and shouted, "Way to go!" before whipping another firecracker at the soldiers.

Kasey looked on ahead and noticed they were almost out of the town. The exit was literally just around the corner. She gave Anna a reassuring squeeze and said, "We're almost out."

But, as soon as they turned the corner they came to a screeching halt, as the exit was blocked by one of the two imperial mechs. The giant robot was aiming its gun at them, but didn't fire.

"Hey, what's the hold up!?" Irik shouted, then saw the mech for himself.

The soldiers that had been chasing them caught up. They formed a circle around the wagons and horses, aiming their weapons at everyone.

A man wearing the uniform of an army captain came to the front of his soldiers and addressed everyone. "Citizens of Jirachai. We have reason to believe that Resistance spies are hiding in this town. You are all to be detained for questioning until further notice." He turned to the soldier beside him and said, "Get them into the trucks."

*OK I dunno if someone has anything planned but if you do just say and if this didn't fit in with your plans then just say and this wont have happened! *

Kenji

"Get them into the trucks!" I could hear the all to familiar voice coming from the platoons leader.
"Wait!" I shouted, "It's me you want!"
"What are you doing?" The woman behind me hissed.
"Saving your life," I muttered underneath the layers of my scarf, "When you see an opportunity, escape."
"What about you?" she asked as I was untying my legs from the saddle, I ignored her as I jumped off the horse and walked as calmly as possible to the commander.
The guards gripped their weapons (do they have guns?) and glared at me. I stared into the eyes so similar to my own and their owner conveyed surprise as he recognised me. "Kenji?" he asked.
I just stood in front of him. "I knew that you got away that last time! What was it two, three years ago?"
He stepped forwards to embrace me. I ducked down to avoid him. At this time the robots arived, our ony chance of escape had slipped through our fingers.

(Yeah, I have something planned. I need everyone to be taken to a nearby prison camp to make the story move forward. And besides, there's a whole squad of soldiers surrounding the caravan, plus a giant robot aiming its weapons at them. I don't think anyone in their right minds would try to do anything stupid, not even Irik. )

OK well then I will just get rid of the last sentence and then the escape plan will fail!!!!!!!!!!
That should clear it up...

(Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The soldiers have guns and swords.)

Why have people stopped posting?

***That is a very good question. I'm in better spirits than I was yesterday, but I won't be on long. I'm heading off to a graduation party. ***




Karana sighed, staring loathingly at the officer who had given the commands. She watched, helpless, as others took Kenji by the arms, restraining him, as their comrads moved to the horses and wagons.

"And that one," she heard the commander begin, saw his finger gesture toward her, "get her off that horse. We don't need a repeat of earlier."

She bit her lip to keep from saying something smart in his direction; she wasn't that stupid. She began to move before the soldiers reached her side; she took her foot out of the stirrups and slid to the ground, dropping the reins.

Im on holls, so make my character do cool stuff please.

(We'll try.

I was camping with my folks this weekend, so I wasn't able to go on at all. It's going to be like that most weekends during the summer. So, if I ever stop posting for a few days, if it's during the weekend you'll know why.

I'll post later, my sister is finally letting me try out her new game, My Sims.)

(Just so you guys know, all our characters are going to be in the same truck.)

Everyone was led one-by-one to army trucks parked just outside the town. They were soon being driven away. The truck they were in was enclosed, made for transporting hostages or prisoners from one place to another without them getting away. Through the rear window they could see Jirachai shrinking into the distance. Soon the bright orange lights of raging fires was all they could discern from the spec on the horizon.

(All I can think of at the moment.)

(Can someone post please?)

I have already posted a lot and need to so some serious french revision (because I WILL FAIL if i don't)

(I understand, school comes first. Good luck on your assignment.)

Karana sat with her arms wrapped around her knees. This was not happening...like hell it was happening...

But it was. That was the point.

She looked over her shoulder; Jirachai had vanished against the horizon, nothing more than a faint glow of flames. Her home was there, and all her memories...now they were gone. All of it.

She sighed as she turned back around, her gaze instantly traveling to Kenji. "Kenji, right?"

He merely glanced at her.

"Sorry if I seemed...rude and outrageous earlier," she whispered, just hoping to befriend him. He obviously needed someone to go to. "I'm just passionate about protecting things and people I care about..."

Irik was tapping his foot impatiently as he stared across the truck. He wasn't looking at anyone directly, but those sitting near where his gaze settled suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Jaden noticed this and said, "Try to relax, brother. There's nothing else we can do." Irik lifted his arm and popped Jaden on the top of the head with his fist. "Oww! What was that for!?"

"Have I taught you nothing?" Irik asked as he got to his feet. "A real man never gives up, no matter how much the odds are stacked against him!" He turned to everyone else in the truck and said, "That goes for the rest of you, too! Seeing all your dreary faces makes me sick. Everyone better buck up, or I'm not taking you with me when I break us all out of here!"
