"Not sure sure. Go on, Alan."
"I lost contact with Taylor after he fled. I couldn't use my powers because he was so far away. Then Banaan told me it was time, so we agreed to go ahead with the plan. I was going to simply tell Natasha, but Heidi stopped me and it went to hell from there."
There was a bit of a silence.
"You should have told us," Natasha said to Alan.
"Honesty is the best policy," Earnest told him. Alan looked at Jordan.
"I should charge you with treason. And I am. You won't be able to excersize any political authority, Alan, and you're going to be sent to prison for five years because of all this, but it's more than you would get if you didn't tell us and begged me. Your sons still have theirs. Now get out my sight and never return to this Palace again." Alan understood and nodded. He turned and left the room.
"We should go to the hospital and see if Heidi has had her surgery yet," Earnest suggested.

Bump

"Yes we should," Sean replied, "I wouldn't be surprised if James hadn't left her side since it happened."

ooc: Sorry about that.

((It's alright.))
"You gusy go, actually. I have things to do here. Give her my blessings," Earnest told them. Jordan led the way out, followed by his couns, his mother, Chong, and then the Theaos. Ishmael joined them apon hearing the news.

"So is the medical facility part of the palace grounds?" Sean asked

"No, it's just outside them in the city, it's within walking distance," Jordan replied. It was true; after five minutes of walking they were in the city and looking at a tall, white building with a red cross on it. They walked in and the receptionist said,
"Three-Oh-Two, Third Floor."

The group headed up the stairs to the designated floor and room.

Heidi and James were watching the news on the television on the Risbanian revolution, as Green Sun reporters were calling it. She heard them enter.
"About time," she said.

James looked up, and when seeing they weren't doctors, relaxed a bit.

((Man this sucks, an hour of my day is knocked off because my mum is in Mass and I have to take the bus...))\
"Hello, James. Seems like we've got a lot going on since you landed here, haven't we? It's going to take years to sort out all these messes," Jordan said.

"What's been going on?" James asked

"Earnest was attacked, Risban's in a state of Chaos, Animarnia has been attacked by fanatics armed by the Green Sun mafia, and we think there's going to be an attack on Shaku. Not to mention the mess at the office today. Someone tells me that something really bad's being planned by Homer. Really bad."

"Man, that's got to bite." James replied, "Why don't you arrest Homer then?"

"No hard evidence, only rumors. Besides, he's the executive of the Republic branch. He's one-third of the Green Sun government, we'll need teh support of the Council of Theocrats, Shaku, and-or the approval of the Supreme Court. Homer also controls the Armed Forces directly. The other two branches can use them in the way Homer does, but Homer has first dibs. There's nothing we can do without direct, hard, clean evidence against him."
"How about a dozen nuclear weapons against Willink?" Yillik said, entering the room. He pulled out a gun and lowered his visor.
"I have a team of the Forge Force from the palace with me. Homer's got connections in Black Sun. Perhaps with Banaan himself. He's ordered the execution of the entire Royal Family and a bombing of the Council of Theocrats. I, being a Duke, had to flee and I was able to get a squad of Forge Force soldiers."
Yillik looks at the television.
"Turn it to Channel 35."
Heidi turned it to Channel 35, where Homer was making a speech in front of the Green House.
"Twelve minutes ago, Emperor Jordan authorized teh firing of a dozen nuclear missiles, disguised as Napalm Archer missiles, at the nation of Willink. Tis action is uncalled0for and will not be tolerated. I have ordered teh removal of the Emperor. We will not allow-"
The crowd of people booed at the President. It was obvious they didn't believe him.
"I gave Ali a bit of a heads-up. UziCorp tolds it media outfits about what Homer did and they've spread it about in newspapers. Homer has no idea."
The crowd was now starting to throw rocks at the President. His bodygaurds covered him and led him back into the Green House.
"Come on, we've got to go."
They could hear gunfire from the floors below.
"Now."

"Alright," James replied, "Can you walk Heidi?" He asked

Meanwhile Sean and Harold were messing with parts of thier clothing.

"I'm fine," she said, attempting to stand. Yillik shook his head.
"No, I've got to get downstairs and get these soldiers to realize that they're doing something really stupid. They haven't heard the truth yet. Jordan, can you haul your sister?"
Jordan nodded.
"Good. James: Be glad you haven't married Heidi just yet, otherwise Theao would be directly involved."
Without another word, Yillik rushed out of the room.
"Come on," Dimitri said, leading them out of the room.

The family followed Dimitri, James helping Jordan with Heidi.

Ishmael had out his revolver and was pushing his wife's wheelchair. He turned to Jordan and said,
"We can't take the Fire Exit like you guys. We're going to take the elevator."
Yillik turned away from the group and called the elevator and they walked in. Dimitri led them to a window in which they had a fire exit and led them out. The only things they heard were something about a Cherry and three shots.

"Let's go then." James commented, "I hope those two are alright." Gesturing toward Ishmael/wife.

The gunfire had stopped. Yillik must have convinced them that Homer was the bad guy in this case, but when they had reached the bottom of the Hospital, a huge, seven-foot-tall, incredibly hairy man stood there, waiting with a shotgun in hand.
"Hello, your Highness."
He raised the shotgun at Jordan.

"Who are you and what do you want?" James asked

"Special Agent "Hairy", Black Cherry's partner. Heidi whispered, "Oh, shit!" and Jordan's face went white.
"Now, Hairy, you relly don't want to do this-"
"Orders from Homer himself-"
"This is just a really big misunderstanding. If I had launched those nukes myself, then Ishmael would have removed me as soon as he found out."
"Oh, we've gotten order to kill the rest of teh Family, as well. And the Theaos," a woman's voice said. A blck woman swaggered onto teh scene holding a pistol with a silencer on it. She looked at Heidi and smiled.
"I still haven't forgiven you for that race in Red Homes."
"You do realize that if the Theaos are killed in Green Sun, taht will cause utter chaos there and here," Yassir told her.
"That's exactly what we're trying to create."
"And why is that? Are you all lackeys of Banaan?" Jordan spat.
"Oh, you short-minded fool, Banaan is a lackey himself in something much bigger. Much bigger."
Yillik appeared behind her with a large group of soldiers.
"Bigger than you two will be when we're done."
The Equanants pulled the Theaos to the side as Cherry fled and Hairy was cut down by the ferocious Green Sun bullets, turning him into a bloody lump of goo.
"Come on, we've got to get you to safety, all of you. Homer's got the palace covered with ignorant soldiers, so I've got to talk to them. We've got a jet ready to take you all to Theao, gaurded by several Nymph fighters. I've taken the liberty of contacting the Theao military. They're awaiting your word, James."
Yillik led them to an armored car.

The family got into the car, "I wonder who Banaan is working for." James said, an expression on his face that was completely unreadable.

"Somehow I doubt he's working for anyone. Knowing him he's got them all where he wants them. I wouldn't be surprised if he's connecting with Zorag's takeover. In the meantime, we've got to organize all of this once we get to Theao. Oh, man, where is Earnest when you need him?" Jordan replied.

"He might have a problem on his end." James commented

"He always has a problem on his end," Yassir told him.

"That probably explains it then." James commented

"Okay, this is bad. Homer has our best assasin and spy after us. Once she finds out we're in Theao, we're as good as dead unless you can offer better, James."

"Depends how good she it, but there are places that are impossible for any assassin to get into, alive at least." Harold commented

"She's going to follow us to Theao," Heidi told Harold, "And she's one of the best in teh region, THE best if I'm not mistaken. She has a personal rivalry against me because I beat her in a very important street race. She's an utter bitch, but she's a very skilled assasin and spy."

"Any prominant hits?" Harold asked

"What race?" James asked

"No, I was hoping Theao had a highly skilled assasin of their own," Jordan replied.

Heidi turned to James and said,
"Remember when I told you I used to race motorcycles underground?"

"We have a few, I was just wondering if I could get a example of a hit to know aprox skill level." Harold replied

"Ya I remember." James replied

"She's killed fourteen Black Sun Generals and Commanders for one, most of which are from the original Black Sun empire. Let's see...There was one time in which she infiltrated a high-security Hamanistani military base and came back with a record of their nuclear weapon capabilities, just to start."

"Sounds good." Harold commented, "Pretty sure we have someone who could deal with her."

"Good. Who knows when she'll show up. I just hope the Air Force ahs gotten news of Homer's betrayal."

"Hopefully." Harold commented

"So you beat her in one of the underground races, and she's held a grudge?" James asked Heidi.

"It can be incredibly competitive," Heidi told him.

"Even still, it seems overly silly reason for a grudge." James commented

((You might want to reword that.

Also, do you know how to create NSWiki pages? I can't get this thing to work.))
"That was my last race so she never had the chance to get me back for being defeated."

"Ah." James replied

ooc: No, don't

They arrived at the Airport where a plane was waiting for them. They quickly boarded and Jordan showed James the phone in which he could call Theao's military.

James, after getting in contact with who he wanted, began talking 'gibberish'.

Chong was listening to a song that his three uncles were singing for him while Heidi consulted with the onboard doctor about her wound. It wasn't serious at all, it went clean through her, so she would recover. Jordan and Andromeda were caressing the twins while Taylor began to cope with the fact he had just lost his twin sister.

James had finished with his call, and was sitting beside Heidi.
His father/grandfather were talking in low voices.
Both Saras were with talking, while Margret listened to the three uncles and Veronica read a book.

"I really hope this is all over soon. Green Sun can go back to the way it was meant to be run after Homer is killed," Heidi said.

"It would be better if all worked out." James replied as he took her hand.

Jordan looked out the window. It was dawn. What a day. He gave out a big yawn.
"Well, it's morning. Bedtime."
Jordan pressed a butoon on his seat and it leaned back and he began to sleep.

A few others followed Jordan's example and fell asleep.

They were awoken by the sounds of the Theao and Green Sun national anthems being played over the intercom system. Jordan looked out the window and saw that they had landed. He shook James awake.
"We're here."

"Alright." James replied as he woke the others.

"It's a beautiful day here in Green Sun, where General Homer's head is being displayed in front of the rubble that was the Green House, where General Homer was killed by his Vice President, Admiral Jones because he had launched twelve nucklear weapons at Willink. The whereabouts of the Green Sun and Theao Royal Families are still unknown, but we're sure they're safe. The Green Sun military is on full alert while tehy search why Homer's actions and the attacks on Animarnia.
"Also, last night after Homer's death was announced, four candidates has arisen for the upcoming elections. Everyone is anxious to finally be able to vote after a decade and a half of abolished elections.
"In other news, the culprit of the exploding ice cream trucks of twenty years ago has been discovered when he turned himself into the police two days ago and he explained how he sabotaged the Ice Cream mixers on the trucks."
-------
Heidi and James were walking down a beach shore wen Heidi nudged her boyfriend.
"So after what's happened, you still want to make this relationship last? After what's happened, I wouldn't blame you a bit for settling for good relations with Green Sun."

James had been looking for an oppertunity, and both the question she asked, and the location were both perfect. "Of course I still want to make this relationship last." He replied, as he stuck a hand into a pocket. Getting down on one he knee, he pulled the ring box out, flipping the cover, and asked, "Heidi Equanant, would you marry me?"

Heidi smiled kissed him on the forehead and said,
"Of course."

His face lit up as he slid the ring on her finger. Standing up, he kissed her.

Suddenly a band started to play as they kissed. The Three Uncles, as they were now calling themselves, began to sing Heidi's favorite song.
"This crazy thing called Love."

As they jointly broke the kiss, there was a loving smile on his face.

"I always thought that I would be proposed to in a palace, a race track, or in a very dire situation. This is much better than any of them."

He smiled, "I wonder if anyone, other than your uncles and the staff know about our engagement yet?"

Heidi pulled off a small black fly from her shirt and smiled.
"I was planning to pop the question today and they would start singing after you said yes," she told him, laughing.

"I guess I beat you to it." He said with a cheeky grin on his face.

"Of course you did, dear," she said, laughing and she kissed him one more time as they danced to the now slower music into the night.

Jordan turned to Andromeda and said,
"You know, with my mum and dad dead, it's going to be really hard organizing this wedding!"
