A Forgotten Time
Chapter 9

"I'm not going to until you either tell me where he is or he comes."
"Tony, what are we waiting for? We need to take him out."
"Calm yourself, ninja." Tony laid a slightly restraining hand on her arm. "We wait for Gibbs."
"But Tony…."
"No. We wait."
"Who has the girl?"
"Leon Vance." A voice grumbled behind them. They whipped around and found 2 knights in full black armor.
"Why, hello there." Tony smiled.
"All towns people should be in the town center." The first guard said.
"Why aren't you in there?" The 2nd glared at them.
"Um, we aren't from here." Tony offered meekly.
"Where are you from?"
"Erm…"
"Why does this woman not speak?" The 1st asked.
"Um…" Tony attempted to think of a good reason. If the guards heard Ziva's accent the game would be up.
"Speak. Where are you from?" The 1st demanded, this was aimed at Ziva. " You do not look like you are from here."
"She's… um… my cousin?" Tony guessed. "We're from… uh…Kenny."
"Ha! You lie." The 2nd said victoriously. Then both crumpled.
"Yeah, they lie." Gibbs stood behind the two guards. "And DiNozzo, for future reference, there isn't a town called Kenny."
"Now can we get him?" Ziva asked.
"Yeah. Just get the girl and get out of there." Gibbs nodded to them both. "Get out of there alive."
Tony and Ziva crept along the sides of the town square while Gibbs walked out into the open. "Vance."
There was a sound of bows rising, but Vance signaled them to stand down. "The coward returns."
Ziva crawled up a building on one side and Tony stood in between the houses. Ziva drew back her bow and took careful aim at a guard. Her arrow zinged through the air and hit it's mark. The guard flew back and was pinned against a house.
A cry rang through the town square as Tony ran in his sword raised. Ziva continued to pin down the next few guards.
Then she jumped down and drew her hunting knifes. A guard ran at her, sword swinging. Ziva easily dodged it and spun gracefully. But another knight was behind her. Her knifes swung out at the 2nd guard and gonged him on the head. She turned to the other knifes raised.
But Tony was already there and had disarmed him. So Ziva swung her leg up and nailed him in the head. He fell like a stone.
Gibbs could tell what was about to happen. More guards were appearing and beginning to circle Tony and Ziva. Then he glanced to the girl. The guard was getting antsy.
Tim McGee crept up behind the guard holding his sister. All he had in his hands was a thick journal, so he brought it down hard on his head. "Tim!" Sarah whispered.
"Sarah, are you okay?"
"Yes."
They were distracted by a scream. They ran over and found two of the outlaws in a circle of guards.
Vance was standing in front of them. "So this is Gibbs's band?" He turned to his men. "A scrawny man and a small woman? This is the best he's got?" He scoffed. The knights laughed.
"That is extremely pathetic." Alvis attempted mock was met with a heavy silence.
"Shut up, Alvis."
"Shut up, Al…. Oh!" Tony struggled to hold back a chuckle, but failed.
"Tony, be quiet." Ziva hissed.
"Both of you shut up." A guard barked.
"Bring them to the castle." Vance drawled grinning evilly.
"Well, we're screwed." Tony muttered darkly.
A/N: Sorry about the delay.
