Shoni's PoV

"GET UP NOW!" Vivian yanked me out of my blanket. "WE WERE BETRAYED! THE EMPEROR'S FOUND US! WAKE YOUR FRIENDS, HELP US WITH THE CHILDREN, AND RUN!" That is what I call a wake up call.

I slung on my backpack, then dumped the leftover tea on Hunter and Rosie, another rude wake-up, and relayed the instructions. I yelled the same thing to my vivosaurs.

There were laser shots from over by this one building. And they were getting closer. I had no time to lose.

"EVERYBODY, GET INTO BATTLE MODE!" I yelled to my vivos, "KIDS, GET ON THE VIVOSAURS! LET'S GO, GO, GO!" The kids got onto the vivosaur's backs. All accept two.

Donnie couldn't carry anyone, being two foot five, but Violet insisted on getting me on her back. After a while I got on her back already and helped some of the younger kids, including a baby that had been given to me by it's sibling, a sobbing six-year-old who had lost her mother, the father being the one who had shot her.

When the Vivosaurs were loaded Donnie jumped onto my head and we ran. Everything went smoothly until Violet tripped and sprained her ankle. I grabbed her medal and ran, ushering the kids along as fast as possible.

It still wasn't enough. We weren't fast enough. They were too fast. In a final act of desperation I gave the baby back to the girl and told Donnie to protect them.

I wheeled around and charged at the troops. I took one out. Then it was all black.

3rd Person PoV

Someone knocked on the door.

"Enter." Boomed the voice of the Emperor. Rosetta entered and bowed.

"Emperor, the attack on the Believers' Camp was successful. Not only did we capture most of the rebels, we also found the other Hunter, Me, Raptin, and we also apprehended Shoni. Our intelligence was correct."

"Excellent!" said the Emperor, "Where did you put her?"

"In a cell. We decided solitary until you wish to see her sire."

"Perfect. As soon as she is coherent, bring her to me. Who captured her?"

"Myron was the one who stunned her sire."

"Reward her for me. You are dismissed."

"Yes Emperor." Rosie bowed and left the room.

Shoni: *storms in* BLOODLILY!

BloodLily: *looks up from MineCraft skin creator app* Yeah?

Shoni: I'm sick and tired of you not updating on time! It's driving me up a wall, and don't get me started on Raptin, he won't stop complaining-

BloodLily: Gee, thanks for reminding me Shoni! I updated a few minutes ago! :)

Shoni: And Hunter keeps singing The Song That Never Ends! Wait, come again? Are you telling me you updated on time for once?

BloodLily: I'm insulted by your lack of confidence. T-T Anything else?

Shoni: Why is it I have such bad luck?

BloodLily: Ask Dina how she felt after the Cup finals.

Shoni: SHE LOSES?!

BloodLily: ;) Spoilers.

DunalN2: Guess what? About that time in our evolutionary history we were shrews with reeeealy long tails. Plus, some studies show that age of maturity is proportional to lifespan, so in other words, if that's true, humans would live longer than Dinaurians. The Dinaurians born on Earth aren't at the same technological level as the Dinaurians born on their original planet. (They had that technology before multi-cellular organisms were thought of on Earth!) So, Dinomatrons were Sci-Fi to the Earth-born Dinaurians, leaving, what, 6,000 Dinomatrons, plus Battle Forms, vs. an army with three vivosaurs apiece. Even if it was a brigade, that's (5,000 humans x 3 vivosaurs) 15,000 bogeys for the Dinaurian military to fight off, plus average Joes and Janes that decided to take a stand, plus they'd capture tanks and other weapons. Strength doesn't always matter, not when you can take out half the opposition with strong legs and heavy boots. ;)

BloodLily: Long A/N to compensate for the short chapter! R&R please!
