Chapter 12
Take My Life
Minogue and Folken raced through one of the secrete passages to get into the outskirts of the castle. Before they could go and attack, they had to get the rest of their small army. After ten minutes of searching, the two finally found the door.
"Dilandau is sick, you do know that?" she asked, looking up at him.
"I know that very well. And you're not the first woman to say so. I apologize for his behavior. Take this bag. It's full of bracelets that will let your mutant abilities come to their full force. Everyone must put one on, unless they want to fight as a mortal."
"Who's side are you on Folken?" she yelled.
"I'm on no one's side. But I must represent Zaibach for the time being. Minogue, I wish you best of luck for the freedom of your country."
"If they try to kill you…I'm not going to stop them."
"I would rather be dead then having to deal with betrayal and war. Tell your friends, I am more then willing to die at their hands."
"I don't know I'm supposed to think Folken!" Minogue shoved him into the wall."You didn't even try to help me. Dilandau could have raped me back there, but you certainly wouldn't have cared would you? It's your fault in the first place because he knew you would let him have me!"
"Minogue, I-"
"No! I was about to be violated by that sick pervert, and you could care less about it! Some protection you gave me. You said you were trying to help me!"
"I did care about it Minogue. Would you rather have me not come and save you?"
"Save me? You didn't save me!"
"You were begging him to stop for crying out loud!"
Minogue didn't say anything. She was about to walk out of the door when Folken grabbed her arm. He seemed ashamed of himself, Minogue could tell. Before letting Minogue even open her mouth Folken kissed her. She then pushed him away once more.
"You just…you just don't get it do you?" Minogue whispered.
"Minogue, I love you."
She was quite shocked at his sudden confrontation. Her eyes widened, not so sure if she should believe it or not.
"I have nothing more to say to you," she spoke coldly.
Minogue then broke free of his grip and ran towards the camps where all of her friends were taken. Let alone, her parents. When she finally reached the certain 'tent' that they were in, she noticed a lot of them were missing.
"Storm, where did everyone go?"
Storm looked over to see Minogue. Minogue quickly passed everyone a bracelet. They all put them on. Though Minogue was quite afraid the bracelet was a trick. Maybe some sort of a tracking device.
"The good news Minogue, is that not everyone was captured. Your decoy wasn't captured. They went to get more help."
"Ok. Well, this tent isn't heavily guarded, so I just knocked out those two guards. We can go safely now. Come on!"
Twenty mutants followed Minogue towards the castle. Once they reached the secrete doors, they decided to split up completely. However before they went, Minogue ordered them to do something.
"Once we get into the throne room once again…give no mercy."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Storm motioned her hands, containing signals of which group was to go where.

"Dilandau you fool! How could you let her go!" yelled Adelphos.
"Lord Adelphos. The girl was a decoy. She must have been some sort of a mutant that could change into other people. Second of all…Folken helped her escape."
Dilandau, kneeling on the floor infront of Adelphos was quite afraid he would be punished for letting Minogue go. However, Adelphos's facial expression changed when he heard that Folken had something to do with it.
"Folken…" Adelphos turned around to face him."Is this true?"
"Yes. I knew the girl was a decoy, so I freed her from…him."
"You still have mercy Folken. That shows that you are weak."
"No, Adelphos. It shows that I am smart. If he had wasted his time with that decoy, we would be wasting time down here. What if they attacked once again, by say breaking away from their not-so heavily guarded camps? Then, he would be too busy trying to hurt some girl who has absolutly no use to us."
"But Stratagos…I do recall hearing you yell,"If you touch a hair on that girl's head, I will kill you." Yes, yes you did say that," Dilandau was in his sly tone again.
"I have my reasons for saying that."
"Then please, share with us Folken. I'd love to know these reasons," Adelphos spoke up.
"Those reasons do not need to be shared."
"Perhaps he wanted the girl for himself?" Dilandau was now pushing Folken's buttons.
"No, Dilandau. I did not want the girl for myself."
Dilandau smirked and walked over to his soldiers. Everyone seemed to be waiting around for something. Obviously the mutants to attack again. Well, they didn't have to wait for very long. No doors slid open, however the mutants phased through the walls. Folken noticed they were all linked with Minogue.
"We're back!" yelled Gambit.
The mutants quickly attacked the soldiers, as for the some of the other mutants killed off some soldiers with their blasters. Gwen was quite pissed off at the actions of her former friends.
"How'd you get back here!" she shouted.
"Quite simple. You see, I, princess of Cesario sent a decoy out, of which was her," Mystique finally showed up,"and when I went to get some more mutants, if gave us a greater army. Also, another thing…my decoy here rescued the mutants from their camps. You really shouldn't have let her go."
Mystique winked at Minogue. Adelphos then grabbed Mystique, thinking it was the princess.
"You haven't one this battle yet! You will sign the treaty, or we'll kill your decoy!"
Dilandau then grabbed Minogue. He held his sword up against her neck. Minogue just smiled and phased through him, causing Dilandau to black out.
"I'm sorry General, but you can't capture me."
"How on Gaea did you get your powers back?"
"That's for us to know…and maybe for you to find out."
Minogue lifted her blaster and aimed for Adelphos. She shot him, though only in the shoulder, causing him to let Mystique go. Once he let go Mystique turned into her true form. Minogue smiled, knowing that once the general was down, they had a very high chance of winning this.
"Minogue…"
Gwen walked up to her, her blaster ready to kill Minogue. Minogue breathed heavily, not sure what was going to happen.
"Are you going to kill me?" Minogue asked.
"Yes. Cesario will be mine. Two down, just one to go."
"You killed my parents didn't you?"
"Yep. Now, it's your turn!"
Gwen was about to fire her blaster at Minogue. Though Minogue kicked it out of the way just in time.
"We'll see about that!"
Gwen and Minogue broke out into a fight. A literal fight, not just some catfight. This was a real fight. Minogue kicked and punch, as did Gwen. Though…Gwen was in the lead. She knocked Minogue over, making her fall flat on her back. Gwen smiled triumphantly.
"Now…where were we?"
Gwen picked up her blaster. Just as she was about to shoot Minogue, someone grabbed Gwen, putting his or her sword around her neck.
"Drop your weapon or I'll kill you," whispered the voice.
Gwen dropped her blaster, though she elbowed whoever it was in the gut. She turned around to see…Van!
"King Van! What are you doing here?!"
"Saving Cesario!"
She looked around to see Allen as well, fighting some of the soldiers with his crusade. However, what caught her attention was that Minogue was gone.
"That little bitch!" She shouted so loud that everyone could hear her.
Before she went to go and search for Minogue, Van put the tip of his sword at her back, meaning that she was going no where.
Minogue stood up on one of the thrones. She whistled, put her hand up and made the number two and then four with her hand. The mutants nodded their heads, grabbed a soldier and either had their abilities ready to fire or, their blasters ready to kill them. Minogue stepped down, picked up one of the blasters and walked up to Folken and aimed it at him.
"Now Stratagos, let's discuss a new treaty!"
Folken sighed. He then nodded his head, and waved his hand motioning that the soldiers were to leave. The mutants let them go, as the soldiers walked out of the room. All but Dilandau, Adelphos and Folken left the room.
"I would ask you to sit…but that's not necessary is it?" Minogue still had her blaster pointing at Folken.
"Take my life Minogue. End it now," said Folken.
"I'll do it."
Shera stepped up, angry as ever. No one was happy with the Stratagos, let alone Zaibach.
"I told you Minogue. If anyone wants to take my life, let them."
Minogue didn't know what to say. All of this was a shock. Was she supposed to let her friend kill Folken? Minogue motioned her hand for Shera to step back. Shera sighed and did so.
"If anyone should be killed…it should be Dilandau…or Adelphos. But I'll tell you one thing. If Gwen is not killed now, she will be hanged for betraying her country," Minogue shot Gwen a dirty look.
"I'd rather be hanged then dying at the mercy of you Minogue!"
"Shut up Gwen!" Shera yelled.
Minogue sighed; she had no idea what to do.
"Take Gwen to the dungeons for now. As for you Folken, like I said before. It's time to discuss a new treaty."
"Very well then."
