"We go on foot from here." Ali said to them as she slid out of the driver's seat of the van and quietly closed the door behind her as the others quietly climbed out of the vehicle to join her. Rick, Glen and Daryl looked around the woods surrounding them warily. Almost as if they expected a herd of walkers to come out of nowhere and rend them all limb from limb.

However upon realizing that they weren't going to do so immediately, they slowly relaxed and began to follow after the others as Ali and Jared and Sin slowly started to disappear among the tree line.

They followed the three at a discreet distance, making sure to keep them well within sight so that they wouldn't get separated from them in an unfamiliar area while making sure that their backs were watched just in case they ran into any trouble of the undead variety.

They walked for about five in a half miles before finally coming to a small clearing that tapered off in the direction of a driveway well hidden by a grove of overgrown trees and bushes and followed Ali out of the woods and into the driveway where she then turned north and started walking at a sedate pace until they could see a large three story, colonial style house on a massive spread of land that must have been over fifty acers.

Like the other homestead, this one had several gardens, some with flowers and herbs, fruit, an apple, orange, pear and peach grove- vegetables such as potato's, corn, peas, green beans, pinto beans, tomato's, sweet potato's ect… There was a large lake of near crystalline water absolutely full of fish that they could see some people in several different boats and on the shore. Fishing and collecting some.

Carp, white fish, salmon, trout, bass, tilapia ect. And yet another body of water full of possibly catfish, mussels, clams and other tasty things that Rick, Glen and Daryl would just love to get their hands on and take back with them to share with the rest of their group for dinner sometime.

There were several big pins full of rabbits, deer, cows, wild turkey, pheasant, chickens and off in the distance from those were several smaller homes. At least ten in all that they could see.

And all were big enough to house at least three families of four or more people. So to say that Rick and glen and Daryl were impressed by the place, would be an understatement.

Finally upon reaching a certain point Ali called out, "Hello at the house!" Promptly followed by several tall men with red hair exiting the house and someone called out.

"Aladdin," A tall man with long reddish-pink colored hair a shade or two lighter than Ren's called out with a small slightly worried looking grin on his face as he waved. "How are you my young friend?"

Ali and the others seemed to notice the way that the man seemed concerned by their presence and subtly exchanged a glance with each other and inched closer to the girl. Rick and Daryl picked up on the subtle actions and began scanning the area around them as someone slipped Glen a semi automatic hand gun while he pretended to look around like a tourist.

Ali closed her eyes for a moment and used some of her magoi to sense any immediate threats and found a dozen or so men, all armed to the teeth, with hostages. Mostly women and children.

Which explained why there hadn't been many women and no children whatsoever running about playing like they usually did. "I'm well enough Muu-" She replied as she noted that Lo'lo, Muu's sister was strangely absent. And if she was possibly one of the hostages then Ali would have no choice but to fight as a magi instead of a human. Ren and Sin and Jareth would also have to fight with their own supernatural abilities- if they couldn't avoid it. "How are you, Lo'lo and the others?"

Muu was silent for a moment as a brief flicker of pain made it's way to his expression as one of the others stepped forward and said, "Aladdin….Lo'lo has passed on. It was just three days ago. Some strange men came through and grabbed her hoping that they could use her to get to the homestead. They made sport of her and then fed her to those undead things alive...We went to find her and get her back, but got there in time to see her get ripped apart. She died screaming." The man said in a pained tone.

Ali's expression darkened like a thunder cloud and she finally asked, "Did they get the information that they wanted? Is that why barely any of your women are present? And the children? Where are they?"

Muu hung his head and looked away. He didn't have to voice what was already known.

Aladdin wasn't a magi for just any reason, after all.

She more than likely already knew what Muu had no wish to voice. His beautiful and spirited sister little sister...the one that he had spent more than half of his life protecting, training to be a fighter and a noble, hadn't died until she had been thoroughly broken and the information received.

Aladdin stared at the proud warrior that she had known for years now and felt her heart ache for his loss. She had spent a little time with Lo'lo here and there and knew that while the girl was a warrior herself, and could be quite savage at times like her older brother, she had been a sweet girl.

In her own roundabout way.

And as such...she should be avenged.

Which was why Ali pulled a short curved blade embedded with diamonds, and sapphires and rubies and simply said, "Then we'll just have to save you, won't we," As she conjured a borg to surround Sin, Ren, Glen, Rick, Daryl, Muu and the others before letting her magoi rise again, this time like the tides of a tsunami and called upon the power of nature as her form started to glow white with pale blue as she stepped away from the others and paused for a moment to look over her shoulder at them and say softly, "Prepare yourselves."
