A/N another chapter Enjoy.
Boony had Michelle sit in a chair and look in the torture chamber, he didn't want to stay in there, but he knew if she could with stand whatever happens then she can help them defend HappyTreeTown from Emperor Flippy's army.
Boony slowly closed the door and sat outside, Michelle just looked through the one way glass and saw a few of His Majesty's executioners do their work on the several army members serving Flippy.
She just sat and stared at everything they were doing, she was shocked on a few of the techniques they did, but she took slightly to learning them, just in case she gets mugged or tried to be led into an ambush.
After thirty minutes the executioners nodded and once one left the room, they covered the glass and proceeded to doing techniques that was not to be shown to the public. Michelle got up out of the chair and walked over to the door, and just gave a blank stare.
"Okay that was the most disturbing thing I have seen in my life, but compared to the horrors I seen under Flippy they are almost nothing." Boony looked at her a bit shocked, but nodded respectfully. "Well then, you are one tough lil lady that is for sure. Maybe you can be, assigned to the elite army that is the final defense for this town."
Michelle looked around "I don't know, I have seen the border of the town, its high in defense in some areas, but it is lacking in where I came in, I was almost able to walk in completely unnoticed until I stepped into Lammy's home."
Boony looked around, "Well we been having to cut back some of the army and patrol because His Majesty thinks that Flippy will not be stupid enough to attack a town that is heavily defended in the center."
Michelle sighed "Well there is something I been meaning to say, but I didn't know if he was any better then Flippy, but they are planning an attack, I don't know when, or how, but they are going to attack." Michelle then looked around, "And Flippy thinks that I know the spy that's working in here for you."
Michelle looks down a little disappointed, "Well the sad part is I don't, he thinks I know everything, but I don't… I just know the simple things." Michelle then looked out the window and saw a group of citizens, she wasn't too suspicious at first, but then she noticed the last one was Luna.
"Hey there's Luna with I think six others." Michelle said a little surprised, Boony ran over to the window and saw the group, "Get the patrolmen ready, there are some, and umm, let's just consider them rebels until known otherwise. Bring them to me." The soldier that responded to Boony saluted and ran down to get a few patrolmen to investigate the group.
"I think I saw a light blue Raccoon, I really hope that's not who I think it is, they are one of the most dangerous rebels to either side, if it is him, and I'm pretty sure His Majesty would not like to know he is here." Boony grabbed Michelle and he started to drag her down the stairs and out into the street. He then gave her a weapon, "If any of them try anything, shoot a warning shot, they continue then go for non deadly shots unless you have to kill them." Michelle nodded.
Michelle and Boony start to slide their way into a dark alley way and tried to get close as they can to the group, Boony stopped and stopped Michelle from continuing when he started to hear voices.
"So what are we going to do Belize? If we help that rabbit, and dragon into the city they may make a claim we are with that jerk Flippy." Another voice responded "Yeah man, if you continue with this I'm pretty sure its going to get us all killed." It sounded a bit shaky. Boony looked outside of the alley way and saw a black leopard with white spots and a green fox with a gold earring in her ear, but he didn't see the light blue raccoon, they have mentioned.
"Yeah I think, we got this… We need to find Belize and quickly tell him before we get too far into town." The leopard said, but the fox started to scratch under its chin, "Actually I have a better idea, we can get caught by a patrol, and tell them that we know who a spy is, and we have two of the most trusted members of Flippy's army in possession."
Boony dropped the gun and it landed with a fairly loud clank, the leopard though he was hearing things, but the fox heard it loud and clearly she pulled up one of Flippy's soldiers antique weapons they used to use, and started to point it in the direction she heard the noise. Boony quickly scooped up the gun and he jumped into hiding in a dumpster. Michelle looked around and figured maybe she could talk to them and they could help each other.
Michelle walks out of the alley way and into view of the Leopard and Fox. "Who are you, what are you doing here?" the Fox yelled, the leopard pulled out his weapon and slowly started to circle around to the other side to make sure that they weren't either being followed, or had back up in the area.
"Well I'm hear because I think we can help each other out." the fox looked a little shocked, but then kept her eye on Michelle and started to eye her for any items to show who she was with, or if she was trustworthy, she couldn't find anything. "Well then, start off how we can help each other; I don't like what I hear I shoot you." Michelle looked around a little nervously.
"Okay I am Michelle, might as well start with at least a light introduction… I'm a sort of refugee from Flippy, and I came here to try and help once I learn if they are better then Flippy, or if they need to be destroyed." Michelle stopped and saw the Leopard was getting close to spotting the weapon she was holding.
"Okay and how are you going to help us?" Michelle smiled, "Well for one, I'm sure your leader is Belize and he hates Flippy, and I know you have Flippy's trusted friends and a spy for Flippy. You hand them over to me and we won't out you to Splendid, for being rebels in the city, but I suggest whatever you are going to do here, you do it fast, there's going to be a fight here soon."
Michelle started to sweat a little hoping the leopard doesn't spot the weapon she had and make her look like a threat to the group, but Michelle didn't want to be completely defenseless. The fox looked around, and thought for a moment, "You may have a decent point there, Silva… do you think it's a decent offer?" the leopard looked at the fox, "Yeah I think it will work, but there's something about this squirrel I found familiar."
Silva then looked closer at the squirrel, "Oh I know what it is…" Michelle started to sweat a bit and was getting ready to pull out the weapon and shoot these two if they decided to take her hostage for a payment.
"She's the maid of that lavender Lamb." Michelle sighed and slowly started to relax. "Yeah, she went on vacation and disappeared, but we found her." Silva then looked around. "Well she's clean, let's get Belize and see what he thinks about our plan." The fox puts down her weapon and re-holsters it. "Okay bring Michelle; I'm sure Belize would love to meet her." Michelle shook her head, "No I am not going to go meet the entire group." Silva looked at Michelle a bit suspiciously "Oh and why is that?"
Michelle sighed, "I'm not going to meet with the rabbit, or the dragon, because I think I know which two you are talking about, and I really don't want them to know I'm here just yet. They are wanted dead here and I'm wanted dead there." Michelle then pulled out the weapon she had concealed and pointed it at the fox and leopard together.
"Now we are going to do the trade, I don't want to hurt anyone so just give me the rabbit, dragon, and the spy you are talking about, and I will be sure that you wont be harmed in the war, at least from Flippy's or Splendid's army, I don't know for sure about all the other rebel leaders." Michelle smiled as she slowly moved closer to the two.
"So do we have a deal?" Michelle held out her hand that didn't have the gun and once the fox shook it Michelle smiled. "Good, I am going to go back into hiding in the sub-urb… Get your leader Belize to meet with me around an oak tree near Lammy's home, get him to come alone, and I will talk him into an offer. Just so you two wont have to, if you are to scared too." The fox and leopard looked at each other and nodded Michelle smiled.
"Good." Michelle put the gun down and turned around and started walking back to the alleyway with her back to two rebels who were close to killing her if she didn't make a convincing offer to live. She knew they were going to ponder over it more then think about hunting her down, so she knew she didn't have to worry about them.
Michelle knocked on the dumpster that Boony was in, and he lifted his head out, "Its done, we don't need the patrolmen looking around, we got a deal with these rebels, and I'm sure you will agree to their offer." Boony smiled until she said about dealing with rebels. "You should know you should never deal with rebels, they have their own agenda to what they do, and if you are not careful it will come back and bite you in the…" Michelle sighed, "I know, I know, but hear out this, I know what they want, and they have a few things we need."
Boony looked a little intrigued to hear the information, Michelle smiled "Here's the trade off, they get to wonder around here without fear of the patrolmen, unless they do a crime. For Flippy's trusted members and the spy that we have learned about." Boony looked around, "I can see so many holes that those rebels can duck into if we are not careful."
Michelle nodded "Yeah I know, but I have a meeting with the leader, I will make sure he has everything to lose if he backs out of handing us these little tools of persuasion. To get Flippy to back off from attacking HappyTreeTown." Boony looked around pondering her logic, he then agreed "Fine, but if this plan doesn't work we are going to kill them all, and you for making the deal that failed." Michelle smiled "You have my word that they will give up the rabbit, dragon, and the spy."
A/N Well chapter down, the next is the last chapter, The meeting, the twists and turns I will throw in that I'm sure many of you will not have expected, or maybe some have little expected, but I'm pretty sure most will be shocked.
Also I am not getting any response on The Competition no PM, or reviews, or even a vote in the poll I'm almost tempted to delete the 14th chapter and rewrite it so its not multiple groups and it wont be as interesting. Well each poll lasts 5 days and I decided to extend the one I have now, so hurry and vote. This new poll posted will last 2 days if there's nothing there then Sorry I'm replacing chapter 14 and not going to continue with my interactive little segments of the story. (Meaning the little aftermath side story were people can talk to or send in guest stars to do/say something to them, will be erased, and this story will be like all my others just a reading story, so please do send in PM or review and do the polls.
