his knees.
    “ Marry me, Emily,” Exavior
said, and took her hand.
    “ Seriously… Exavior…” Emily
started, but he stood suddenly and pressed his lips to hers. She
pulled away from him as she heard growls and hisses from the
Equites behind her.
    “ Marry me,” Exavior said
again.
    “ Take us back to Sotomar,”
Emily told him, and took Zohn’s hand, pulling close to his side.
Exavior glared at Zohn and led them back to the council
chambers.
    The Valle Council was in a discussion when
they returned. Exavior headed back for Emily, but she pulled closer
to Zohn and heard him growl. Exavior sighed and returned to his
chair.
    Emily stepped forward, “What are we going to
do about this? I warned you…”
    Sotomar stood, “Please, don’t disappear. We
are still under the month long protection.”
    “ Yes, but this isn’t a
stray heku attack. This is bigger,” Emily said.
    “ Sit down!” Sotomar yelled
at Exavior when he stood up to walk down to Emily.
    “ So… this is what I
suggest. You let my Cavalry members go, and I take Zohn with me.
The three of these Equites guards come with me, too,” Emily said,
and crossed her arms.
    “ What!?” Sotomar yelled.
“We can’t give you eleven prisoners.”
    “ Yes you can, or you can
face the wrath of the Encala and the Equites when I disappear,”
Emily said, and smiled sweetly.
    “ Damnit, we want to punish
these three for what they’ve done,” Sotomar said, motioning to the
three Equites guards.
    “ Nope, I take them too,”
Emily said.
    Sotomar growled, and then slammed his fist
on the table, “Take them and go.”
    “ We’ll need a ride,” Emily
said, and glanced at Darren. “A helicopter back to Council City,
please.”
    Sotomar nodded.
    Emily turned to the Thukil Cavalry, “Take
those three into custody.”
    They followed their Commander’s orders
immediately, and took the two Generals and the City Commander,
restraining them.
    “ Emily, why are some of the
top Commanding Officers for Council City under arrest?” Zohn asked,
sounding irritated.
    “ Oh, there’s a good story.
Let’s go and I’ll fill in the Council,” Emily told him, and
followed the Valle guards up to the waiting helicopter.
    They all crawled into the Valle helicopter,
and Emily grabbed the radio as they approached the city, “Base from
Emily.”
    There was a pause, “Emily? This is
base.”
    “ We’re coming in in a Valle
helicopter, can we land?”
    “ One moment,” the voice
said, and the Valle pilot hovered over the city, waiting for
permission to land.
    “ Emily from base,” Kyle
said.
    “ Go ahead Kyle,” Emily
said.
    “ Permission to land, take
it to the roof between Equites 1 and Equites 2.”
    “ Got it.”
    The Valle pilot glanced back at her, “If I
land this thing, am I going to be able to leave?”
    Emily nodded, “You have my word. As soon as
we’re off the helicopter, you can go.”
    He nodded and landed the helicopter between
the two Equites’ Blackhawks. Guards quickly surrounded the enemy
helicopter and crouched low as the pilot cut the engines and the
door opened.
    “ Emily?” Mark asked,
helping her out of the helicopter.
    “ Take them into custody.
The Council will want to see them,” Emily told Mark, and he nodded
and ordered the three Commanding Officers into custody. They were
escorted into the palace by both the Thukil and the Council City
guards.
    Emily nodded to the pilot, and he quickly
started the helicopter and took off. Emily, Darren, and Zohn headed
inside and walked into the council chambers. Zohn moved up to his
seat after he shrugged at the other Elders.
    Emily noticed that Chevalier was more
relaxed and wasn’t glaring at her anymore.
    “ Ok, so, Emily… care to
explain?” Quinn asked, leaning forward.
    “ Sure,” she said, and
stepped forward a bit. “I was out running and overheard the three
stooges here talking about how they’ve been letting the Valle into
the city, and that there is a Valle attack coming in
