ELEVEN TOTAL REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, I don't get much support from lamia, or my parents, so eleven reviews Is unbelievable. Lamia said this was stupid. (at least.... I THINK she did....)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything......well, I share my first name with someone who worked on the game. Mari Miyamoto, someone in character design I think.. That's the closest I'll ever get to being behind such an awesome video game.. sigh (lamia, don't you dare get technical on me!!!)

O.K. its official; I shall keep it happy. Everyone who responded to my question said happy ending. I cant think of a way to make it happy and tragic, but I shall try. Tell me any suggestions in a review or email.

Chappie 4

When they finally reached their destination, Zidane reluctantly opened his eyes, afraid of what he would see. To his surprise, he was in a council room. It seemed as though the entire council was there, and all the important military leaders. The princess was there as well.

For a second their eyes met, and Zidane saw many hidden emotions surface briefly. Among them: anger, annoyance, irritation, exasperation, pity, worry, understanding, and at the same time, a quizzical look that nearly hid the others. Then, as suddenly as they had appeared, they were gone.

A young man in a tunic that bore the crest of Alexandria, rose and began reading of a scroll. "This man, a prisoner of the court of Alexandria,..." 'Oh!' thought Zidane, 'It's like a court, they want the council's and the princesses opinion.' "Honored council members, commanders, Princess, what do you think would be a righteous punishment for this man?"

Zidane closed his eyes, so he couldn't see who voted for what form of death. The first response, Adelbert Stiener's booming voice, shouted, "Hang him!" A few other voices added to te discussion, saying things like, "Behead him!" to "torture!". The fourth or fifth person to speak was, to Zidane's surprise, Princess Garnet. "This man has indeed committed a treasonous act against myself, and the whole of Alexandria. Yet he is not of Alexandria, so therefore our laws against residents are not applicable. Also, can we question his sanity? He evidently has untreated wounds, from when our cannons knocked the Prima Vista out of the sky. How can we know for sure it wasn't a fever speaking? Not death, I think. For it would be but murder to hang a man who spoke out of turn through delirium."

"The princess speaks the truth, it would be murder!" Most of the people present murmured to the people seated next to them. Angrily Adelbert Stiener shouted, "Princess! This... This man" he layered the words with disgust, "has acted a perfect saboteur, spreading horrible lies about you, and you wish to let him walk away without any punishment?!" Garnet wanted badly to retort, 'What if they were lies?' but she held her tongue, and instead said "Every crew member and actor aboard the Prima Vista is already facing a twenty year term in prison, if not life. Also," Garnet paused and took a deep breath, she wasn't sure how her next sentence would go over, but it was looking like the man's only chance. "Also, if you kill him now, he would never face his sentence for attempting to kidnap me."

"The princess has a logical mind, she will do well." Murmurs once again rose and fell throughout the room. "Council!" The page once again spoke up. "Now that everyone has spoken, it is time for us to depart, to leave you to come to the final verdict. Please take everyone's opinion into account.

The two Knights of Pluto came back, and once again dragged him away. "When will I know the council's ruling?" Zidane wondered aloud. "When they send for you." The guard to his left said. "Haagen!" The guard on his right yelped in shock. "'Never converse with prisoners, code 4:27:3!" "Oh, come on Wiemar, you always in trouble for flirtin'!" "Yeah, well, there's nothing against it in the code." Zidane listened with a grin on his face, which he barely managed to hide when they returned their attention to them. "Haagen, sir?" Haagen glowed under the title. "Sir, when will the council come for me?" "About dusk, or dawn, if you're to be hung." "Haagen! You stupid, block-headed dim-witted fool! I quote the code, and yet you still proceed to disobey it! I'll turn you in for this!" Around this point, they got to the cell Blank and Zidane had been in.

(a/n-which is a real shame, I would've loved to here more of Haagen and Wiemar's conversation, but I couldn't think of anything else to say-) Surprisingly they didn't pass it by. The bolts were unlocked, and the guards opened the door a crack, shoved Zidane inside, and bolted it behind him.

"Zidane??" A cautious voice rose out of the darkness. Zidane you're, you're alive! I thought.. I thought.. Blank was nearly in tears. He ran over and hugged his friend, so happy was he to see Zidane alive and well. "Why? How?" "I'm fine, till dusk at least. They wanted the council's opinion, and Princess Garnet's. The princess, she defended me. She stood up for me. No idea why though." He looked at Blank, as if wondering if Blank knew. "Hey, bro, I'm just a clueless as you are."

Thank you all! This chapter is like three times as long as the last three, but I didn't want to cut it off. Hope you enjoy it!!! Linker27
