“Ace, do not panic. I put an ear piece inside your ear while you
were asleep. Play along. B3 and I will be there in ten minutes. The
knights have a tracking device on them. Until then, wait
patiently.” James said through a microphone so Ace's ear piece
would hear him.
Nova bites her lip as a tear falls from her cheek to the ground.
What am I doing? I don't give up... No. I'm not giving up. I'm
keeping Ace alive so he can live and help... What about Aria? Why
do these knights want us? Nova looks up at the lead knight.
"What does the Prince want with us?"
“Nova. B3 and I will get you soon. Play along. I attached a
removable ear piece to you while you didn't expect it. The knights
have a tracking device on them. Be safe and smart. See you soon.”
James said.
The knight answered stoically. "You, love, and this one are wanted
by the Prince for... reasons." His lips curled into a sick smile.
Aria was crying now, for James, Nova, Ace, and heck, even herself.
She stopped fighting and slumped in the other knights arms, and
they laughed.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
Nova looked over to Aria. "Hey, buck up... We're not dead yet... I
don't know about you, but I know that James, Ace and B3 won't stop
until we're safe... Just you wait..." She looks over to the knight
who replied to her. "My name is Nova. If you want to call me
something, which I would rather you not, call me by my name..." She
scowls.
"You don't understand! These guys, they... they..." Aria started,
but was cut off by herself. She looked away, fear building up in
her blue eyes. She heard the knights chuckle, and she growled.
"Shut up!" She said, and felt a hard hand slap her across the face.
She looked down, wincing from the pain in her cheek.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
Nova pulled hard against the knights to get over to Aria, but they
held her back. "You trzati!!! Leave her alone!! You have a problem
with her you take it up with me!" Her face was almost red with
anger. Aria... Have faith... We must be strong... We can't let
these jerks beat us... Come on, buck up!
"Nova, stop! They'll hurt you!"Aria said softly, looking up at her,
eyes pleading. The knight laughed. "Hurt her? No, the Prince will
kill us." He said, wiping fake tears from his eyes. She growled,
and struggled, but felt a kick in her leg, and when it hit the
ground, she heard a snap.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
"Duck now Ace!" James screamed as the giant boulder flew towards
the clock tower. On top of the flying boulder was James with a
sword made out of scrap iron.
“Smith Gadget Numero Ocho.” James said bringing out a can of silly
string. He sprayed it on a few knights and cement started to freeze
them. In another movement he cut four knights in half. Bringing out
a paint ball gun filled with wet mud, he started to shut it at the
knights faces. One started too flee and James quickly said “Let him
go! It is going as planned.”
Aria gasped as James came. She grabbed Nova's hand and pulled the
two of them behind James. She said a quick "Thank you." and leaned
against the wall, pain burning her leg.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
