When Good Girls Go Bad
"Okay, the storm is slowly letting up, and we're going to need renforcements if we want to stop Maggur's son and get the Royals, Alanna, etc. back. I'm going to go get those renforcements and some gear. We depart as soon as the weather clears up. Questions?"
"Do we have to rescue Alanna?"
"Numair, don't be an idiot, you're too good at it."
With that Dragonfly pulled her Parca on and departed with a backpack on her back and her cell phone out.

"Hello, Eva? Yeah its D. Uh huh. Yeah, I know, I'm in the middle of a snowstorm. Listen, are you and Liset busy? No? Good. Your parents are in Italy till June right? Good. Meet me at my house, bring Liset, warm clothes, and the Hummer."
Dragonfly hung up her phone and put it in her backpack. She grabbed the Subtle Knife and opened an extremely large portal into her Driveway. She threw two stones in and shed her gear and Parca under a tree. She then walked through the portal herself. Two exact coppies of Eva and Liset, her two best friends, walked back toward their respective houses. It was the middle of the day, so her parents wouldn't be home until three. Just then Liset and Eva drove up in a Black HumV. Not the H2 mind you, the real, military kind. Only this one had been specially moddifed for Eva. Her dad was a multimillionaire, and he had the full armor on it for protection.
"Care to explain the snowstorm raging in back of you?" Liset asked as she and Eva dropped down from the cab. While technichally they shouldn't be driving, they did it anyway.
"You remember me telling you about my little trip back a few months ago? To Tortall?"
Eva and Liset nodded, they had realized Dragonfly was acting funny and asked her when she got back where she had been.
"Well, the king and queen have been captured and its up to us to get them back, you interested?"
"Sounds like fun. I assume those simulcra things have already been set loose?" Eva confirmed.
"Yup. Did you bring extra gas?" "Duh! Course I did!"
"Okay then, I made the portal big enough to fit the Hummer and all the gear we'll need plus the horse trailer, I already hooked it up while you were parking. Just drive it through."
"Okay, Lets get this party started!" Eva yelled as Dragonfly threw her gear in back of the Hummer and she and Liset jumped in. When they drove through, Dragonfly magicly closed the portal and began to explain what was going on and what they needed to do.

Numair and Daine were warming up some left over gumbo for lunch, when they litteraly felt the earth shake. They looked outside to see the Hummer drive up and skid to a stop, slinging snow into the mouth of the cave. The other occupants looked out curiously at the large, metal box that was towing the horse trailer. All three girls jumped out and grinned.
"Numair, Daine, everyone, meet my two best friends in the whole world, Liset and Eva, who have kindly agreed to help with our cause."
"What, dare I ask, is that?" Numair said in disbelief.
"This is a HumV. Our milliary uses them for transportation. Eva's dad moddified this one for her when she can legally drive. The thing on the back is a horse trailer. So Spots, Cloud, and Tigress can ride in pure, equine, comfort. This thing can go at 70 miles an hour for as long as you want it to. And its totally bullet and arrow proof. Daine, please demonstrait by shooting it with the bow of your choice."
Daine complied. The arrow hit a window and glanced off, not even scuffing it. "It will fit all of us, except for Wingstar and Diamondflame. Do you two mind flying?"
"Not at all, we prefer it. We will meet you at the castle." Wingstar replied as he and Diamondflame took flight.
"Okay, pack up! We head out in an hour!" Eva yelled. There was a flurry of motion for the next several minutes as everyone cleared the campsite and packed up the equipment.
"Thankyou for riding with us today, we request that you keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times and do not remove your seatbelt. If you should feel the need to hurl, please press the button with the up arrow on it, stick your head out the window and hurl then please return the window to its original position." Dragonfly yelled over her shoulder. She and the other girls were sitting up front. Daine, Numair and Kitten were in the middle with Zek and Seville, and Tkaa was in the back.
"Okay, hit it Eva!"
With that, the Hummer lurched forward and began to trundle over the dirt road toward a crossible point on the Scarran Border that Numair had located beforehand.
"Are you sure this is safe?" Numair asked uncertainly.
"Safe? Of course its safe!" The road shooting by was making him nervous.
Meanwhile, Cloud and Spots were basket cases as the trailer rocked and bumped on the dirt road. Tigress was hardly batting an eye, she had ridden in trailers before and it didn't bother her in the least.

An hour later, Dragonfly opened the sun roof. "Well the storms stopped." She said as she stuck her head out. She then began hacking. "Mosquitoes are out." She managed to choke.
"We're getting close, there's the river. By the way, how are we going to get this thing across the river--?" he asked as the HumV turned sharply and went right through the river onto the other bank.
"Anymore questions? Oh, Eva, you did remember the pistols and the machine gun?"
"Yup. I told you my dad kept this thing totally armed."
"Oh good. Then we still have the rocket laucher?"
"Uh Huh."
"And the flame thrower?"
"Yup."
"Oh this is going to be fun!"
"Okay, the storm is slowly letting up, and we're going to need renforcements if we want to stop Maggur's son and get the Royals, Alanna, etc. back. I'm going to go get those renforcements and some gear. We depart as soon as the weather clears up. Questions?"
