Hey everybody I'm back. Sooo nothing new to say. This chapter has a lot of dialouge in it. I hope there's not too much though. I'm going to say right now that I'll put a little Supermartian in my story for sure. Not sure yet if I'll use AquaRocket just because I don't like the pairing. The main question I have for all of you is which would you prefer Robtanna or Rob/Babs. I'm going to put up a poll, so please go vote. I'm only going to use the winner.

"Stay sharp, they could show up at any moment." Wally commanded the troops he was leading into the forest. He knew that these Bandits were tricky, but he was fully positive that Queen Aphrodite's best men could finally take down these criminals.
"Jim, Clark. Come with me. The rest of you stay here. Remember the signal. Call us if you're attacked." With that Wally went ahead with Jim and Clark, swords at the ready.
The trio traveled in silence, reacting to every noise. Wally could have chosen more men to come with him, but he wanted to flush the Bandits out and a lot of men would cause too much noise. He had a feeling he could trust these two not to mess up.
Then, they heard a rustle in the trees. They stopped not daring to even breathe. Their swords were ready to strike if they would be attacked. Then the rustling stopped; nothing seemed to move. Wally was about to send Clark to check it out when a bird flew from the trees.
'Whew, it was just a bird. Thank goodness.' Wally thought as they turned to keep on moving. They started walking and as they turned a corner in the path, they saw a basket.
They drew up short. "Uhh, should we...?" Jim asked leaving the question in the middle of the air. Wally gripped his sword tightly, walking carefully towards the closed basket.
He stopped as he neared the basket. He heard nothing coming from it and no sound was coming from the surrounding forest. He carefully placed the tip of his sword underneath the cover of the basket. In the blink of an eye, he thrust his sword up, opening the basket and he quickly took a step back.
When nothing popped out of the basket and nothing oozed over the edge, Wally moved closer and looked inside. At first he didn't see anything, but he looked again and saw a small piece of paper.
He carefully picked it up and examined it. There was nothing on the outside, but Wally noticed that it was folded in half. He carefully opened it and read the carefully written message.
'Wait For It'
"What does it say, your majesty?" Clark asked.
"It says, 'wait for it'. Do you know what that might mean?" Wally asked. He wanted to find these Bandits, he didn't want to play games.
Before either of the older men could reply, they heard the sound of Old McDonald being played on a bugle.
"The signal." Wally said, "But why would...Ohhhhh. I get it."
"Really, cause I don't." Clark said.
Wally and Jim ignored Clark and turned to run, but they were stopped by the sight in front of them. There stood two of the bandits. Wally quickly swallowed. It was the male and female Bandits he made mad the last time he was in the forest.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" the male one said.
"Captain Jim Gordon with his right hand man Clark Kent. And it looks like the brat we took care of a few days ago. Come back for more?" the girl asked.
Wally gulped and slowly backed up, his sword clutched tightly in his hand.
"Ahh, look Falcon. He's scared of us. Maybe we should have come off a little nicer." the boy said.
"Yes that might have been a smart idea, Ninja. Too little, too late though. You boys know, if you surrender now we'll go easy on you." the girl, Falcon, said with an evil chuckle.
Wally decided that he wasn't going to let these foolish Bandits get away with killing the princess. So he gripped his sword tightly, "You don't scare me. You will not get away with what you have done."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa cowboy. Slow down there. We're sorry if we offended you by tying you to a tree. But, if you have any complaints, please, send them to our public liaison." Ninja said in a joking tone.
"You joke after what you have done?" Wally asked furiously.
The two Bandits looked at each other curiously, "Oh No. Ninja, I think they found out, we didn't eat our vegetables in 6th grade." Falcon said faking her fear. The two burst into laughter.
Wally's eyes narrowed, "You have until the count of three to surrender yourselves. Your friends made the mistake of attacking this country's finest soldiers. They are probably already under arrest, and you will soon join them."
Ninja and Falcon stopped laughing and looked at the three men. "Are you serious?" Ninja asked, thinking that the thought of this country's "finest" actually capturing one of the Seven was absolutely preposterous.
"One."
"Ninja, I think he's serious." Falcon said letting out a chuckle.
"Two."
"I wonder what he'll do once he gets to three." Ninja said to his best friend, curiosity lacing his voice.
"Three." Wally swung his sword at the two and charged. Ninja easily deflected the attack with a sword he seemed to pull out of nowhere.
"You know, your balance is really off. Maybe if you weren't so stressed you would fight better." Ninja said which just agitated the red head even more.
While the two fought with Ninja being his usual self, Falcon turned to the older men. Her eyes stayed on Jim for a while. "So... we gonna just stand here?" She asked impatiently.
The two men raised their swords and both charged at Falcon. She rolled out of the way and drew her sword. 'This is going to be fun.'
While Falcon easily blocked the two's advances, Ninja was doing everything he could to bug Wally.
"You know if we keep meeting like this, you're going to have to tell me your name eventually. Ohhh I know, let me try to guess it. Is it George?" Wally didn't say anything but kept on trying to cut his head off. "Uh, guess not. How about Henry? Calvin? Manfred?"
Wally annoyed by his guessing, stood proudly and proclaimed, "I am Wallace Rudolph West, Prince of Gavinlea, and I order you to surrender yourself."
Ninja did a back flip away from the young man and stood there staring at the Prince. "Wow, we've never hijacked royalty before. Sweet! Now I can cross that off my bucket list."
"I said surrender." Wally said in a threatening voice as he brought his sword up, its end pointing at Ninja.
"Ahh, you see my dear Wallace." Ninja tried not to laugh while saying the other young man's name. "You have no authority here. You're just another rich guy who wondered into the forest unprepared. Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think we'll be surrendering today."
"I do have authority here. Queen Aphrodite, herself, sent me out here to avenge the death of her daughter."
This stopped Ninja in his tracks, he cocked his head and looked at the Prince, glee written across his face, "Somebody killed Briana? HA! Took them long enough. I don't see why they had to wait 8 years to do it though." Ninja had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Wally swung his sword again, absolutely furious. "NO! Princess Briana is at home. Protected from the likes of you."
"Wait," Ninja said as he deflected the blow on reflex as his face took on a confused expression. "If Briana wasn't killed than who was? Aphrodite only has one daughter."
"Now she has only one daughter, since you Bandits killed Princess Olivia." Wally said his eyes narrowed in anger. He felt connected to the girl when they had danced at the ball, he was going to avenge her death by taking care of these buffoons.
Ninja's eyes widened considerably. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You think she...? And, and you think we...?" For the first time in his life Ninja was at a loss for words.
"You will pay for the crime you have committed." Wally said. He charged, now fully fueled by anger.
Ninja cocked his head, his mouth set straight. He waited until the last possible moment and then ducked out of the way, sticking his leg out to trip Wally. The young prince went flying, his head hitting a tree. He soon became unconscious.
