Dawn of a New Era
Chapter12: Not Really Prince Charming
Jasmine's Point of View:
"You have got to be kidding me!" June told me over the webcam I had given her. We were discussing the events of when Gabriella was under the control of Mandy's bug and when she and Rover got together after he was almost killed. "They're together now? I didn't think it would happen so soon!"
"I would have told you sooner, but I see you've been busy yourself." I told her. June had recently been going around the universe after her home world was back to normal, traveling and sight seeing with her mother and father. We had helped them a few months ago when the Skeleton Queen's goons took over the city and forced everyone into hiding. Thankfully everything is fixed now, and everyone is enjoying the sun, being able to see it once again.
"Yeah, sorry about that." She laughed awkward like. "I guess that all of this sight seeing is getting to me, the universe is just so beautiful, it's hard to ignore it."
"I know what you mean; I've been traveling the universe for some time now. Maybe we'll meet up eventually."
"You know, I have this weird feeling that we will." She told me. "Where are you now?"
"We're actually out in a bit of open space right now, heading toward the planet Rugar, only about an hour or so away from us, we're only stopping to refuel and stock up on food again so Olivia, Rose and Rover don't go crazy."
"Really! My parents and I are like only two minutes from there! We get to see each other in person again!" She exclaimed. "And I get to meet your kitty!"
"Trust me, Midnight's been waiting to meet you too June. Since you're almost there, I let you go, but we'll see you soon alright?"
"Totally, see ya Jazz!" She called.
"Bye June." I laughed before I hung up. It was great that we would be able to see each other again. It's been too long since we've seen her. It's been nearly two or three months. I was excited to see her, I better tell the team.
It was actually already mid day by now, everyone was up and out of bed, even my sleepy kitty Midnight, who spent most of her days now either eating or sleeping on my shoulders or in my room. She was awake and hiding behind my hair so that she could surprise June.
Last time I checked everyone should be in the command center, all doing their own thing. I quickly headed down and saw exactly what I knew they all were doing. Annabel was meditating, Gabriella was looking at the computer screen as we flew threw space, Olivia was working on something, again, and Rose and Rover were having another fight. I'm too use to this.
"So who wants the good news or the great news?" I called out to them. They all looked up from what they were doing and Midnight came out from behind my hair.
"Start with the good news and then get better." Rose said.
"Alright, first off I just got off the line with June, and she's extremely happy for two monkeys we all know and love that are now together." Rover and Gabriella blushed madly at my words and turned away. "And the great news is that she's arriving at the next planet we're stopping at, Rugar!" The whole team went bezerk in excitement as they got to see an old ally and friend again. "She's supposed to be landing soon, so I told her that we'd meet up with her once we get there. We can all hang out as we stock up on supplies."
"This sounds promising." Annabel said. "Let's not keep our old friend waiting too long. Rose, increase speed for an estimated time of arrival just below half an hour."
"On it Anna!" Rose said. I looked over at Annabel, since when did she have a nickname? Annabel noticed my confusion and smiled.
"The team felt when we were younger that I needed a nickname as they all had. I saw no reason for one, but the team gave me the nickname of Anna, they don't often use it, but I still respond to it. Its better then the nickname my mother once tried to give me, thankfully for my own sake, it failed miserably."
"What did she want to call you?" I asked.
"Annie Bellsie."

The hour had passed in the blink of eye, and before I knew it we were landing on Rugar. The place resembled that of ancient times of Kings and their castles, but more modern homes and power throughout the palace. From what we could see anyway. We were too far out of the town to see much of the town and castle yet, but for some odd reason, going near the castle, or even jus the thought of it gives me the creeps, like the power primate is telling me don't go there.
"Common you guys!" Olivia shouted. She and Rose took off into town, toward a hotel that June was staying at. And we didn't have a name or a section of town to go by, so basically the two of them ran off in hopes of running into her while they run down the entire town.
"We better follow them and make sure that they don't break anything." I told the rest of my team that didn't run off and were still at my sides. They nodded and we fanned out to search for my two other team mates and June.
Our group split up so that we were on our own, which made me just a bit nervous. We were searching right around the castle that sent my worries into overdrive. The Power Primate was sending me warnings, I heeded them and when it told me to move away, I did. That was until I saw the team and June all together on the other side of a road in front of me. They saw me and waved. I moved threw the people in front of me to get across the road, but stopped short when I almost ran into a carriage that was riding down the street, armed men stood in front and behind the carriage. I fell backward and the carriage man stopped and helped me up.
"Are you alright miss?" He asked me. I nodded and he pulled me to my feet. It was at that moment that the Power Primate inside me told me to run, but why? And not only that, but this time, it was much stronger push, trying to get me away from the carriage. What ever was inside, the Power Primate knew that something bad was inside there.
"Why did we stop?" A young male voice yelled from inside the carriage. "I know for a fact that we are no where near the castle yet! Driver, hurry before I lose my temper!"
"Please forgive him miss." The driver whispered to me. "But hurry and leave before the prince takes you from all that you love and hold dear, as he did to us." The door to the carriage opened and reveled the prince. He was young, but just under my age. His hair was a light blond and his eyes were an ocean blue. His clothes were much fancier then the towns' people around him. His eyes were filled with a fire like anger, that was until his eyes landed on me. His face then instantly turned soft and he got down from the carriage and took my hand in his, kissing it. I didn't know which moment was strongest that I felt the moment, embarrassment or disgusted. He tried to kiss my hand again, but I pulled it from his reach and stepped back.
The prince though turned from me and his hated look returned when he looked at the driver. "What in the world were you thinking when you stopped the carriage? Mother wished for me to be home before tea time and you stopping the carriage this long will not allow me to be home in time!"
"Forgive me your majesty." The driver said. "This girl here was trying to cross the road and ran into our carriage, and I wanted to make sure that she was alright before heading back to the palace." The prince then looked away from the sad carriage driver back at me. He looked me over like a piece of meat. I had to fight glaring at him, knowing that the poor man at his side would be hurt if I did something wrong.
"Why don't we take you over to the castle?" The prince told me. "To make sure that you're ok."
"No thank you." I told him. "My friends are expecting me and I've kept them waiting long enough. I best be getting back to them."
"But I insist, and I'm sure that your friends will understand." The prince told me, trying to grab my hand. I pulled it form his reach. He scowled at that. "I just want to make sure are perfectly fine." I didn't hold back the glare any longer; I glared at him long and nasty like. He stepped back and blinked rapidly, not expecting that.
"I'm fine." I growled at him, walking around him. I turned to the driver and smiled at him. "Thank you." I told him. "Good day to you." I then walked away from the carriage and crossed the road to find all my friends on the other side. I was embraced by my team when I got there and by the arms of my newest close friend June as well. Well, that was all but Rover, who was glaring at the prince.
"Something wrong Rover?" I asked him.
"Yeah, permission to beat that prince charming up, and feed him to the sharks?" He asked me, such a fiery hatred in his eyes, even worse then the prince when he was glaring at the carriage driver. I snickered and nodded. The team and June gasped.
"You have permission," I said. Rover smiled and began walking over to the prince. "Hold it, I'm not done." I called to him. He growled and turned around and came back.
"I knew it was too good to be true." He muttered.
"You do have permission." I told him once again. "But you can only take him out if he tries to attack me or if he tries to hit on me again."
"That won't be long." Rover said, cracking his knuckles. The team, June and I all sighed. I knew that the team was annoyed with his behavior, but that's not why we're all sighing. The way that prince looked at me, and then when he saw June, it won't be long until he hits on both of us. But honestly, I'm looking forward to that beating for that nasty prince, I want him to be beaten up by Rover so badly, he won't ever get up again.
"Let's get going before Rover and Prince Charming start anything." Rose said. "Besides, I'm hungry." Olivia ran up to her side and starting jumping up and down.
"I'm hungry too!" She yelled. "Jazz come on, let's go!" She jumped over to me and grabbed my hand pulling me away. I laughed at her behavior and ran after her as she dragged me down the street. My team and June following close behind, laughing with us all.
We soon got to the restaurant after that, laughing and telling each other stories as if we had never left each other. We ordered our food and I was surprised when Midnight came out from behind my hair and walked over to June's shoulder and rubbed against her, purring like crazy. For a while there, with all this drama that we had to deal with, I forgot that Midnight was even on my back shoulder.
"She's adorable!" June cried when she saw Midnight.
"Wait till you see when she gets mad." Rover said. "There's a sight to see." We all rolled our eyes at him and started eating our food.
"So June, what made your parents bring you out to see the universe?" I asked. She smiled and placed down her fork.
"Yeah, my birthday came up just a few days ago. My parents got us a ship and for my birthday and for a while after are taking me around the universe to celebrate and redeem there freedom that was taken from them. Mom and Dad also wanted us to head back to our home planet, where I was born, Qunner 9. My family only moved there for a short time because of my family's jobs. That's how we ended up on Yourux 4. Then the war came and you know what happens from there." She told me.
"Wait, so I missed your birthday?" I asked sadly.
"Yeah, but don't feel down. You gave me the best birthday gift ever when you told me all the stories about your adventures, and getting to see you again today, it's the best present ever. Even if we did have to deal with that horrible prince charming." We both laughed out loud at this and enjoyed our meals and listened to the crowds around us, which was until we heard the door open and the crowds died off. We all turned to see at the door was none other then the prince. He walked in calmly and searched the room with his eyes until his eyes set on me. A sickly grin appeared on his face when he saw me and drew closer. I turned away from him and turned back to my food.
"My, my. So this is where you've been hiding beautiful." He said. I rolled my eyes and ignored him the best I could, my team and June were silent around me, ignoring him as well. "Why don't you come with me and leave all these peasants here, I know a great place where we can eat that is quite more elegant that this old trash heap." I stood up and turned to face his, anger I could feel was written all over my face.
"Is this your way of asking me out on a date?" I asked. He snickered and nodded, reaching for my hand. "Pass." I said calmly and turned back to my chair and sat down to eat again.
"What?" He yelled, completely shocked. "Why would you want to stay here? I know places that are much nicer and cleaner then this!"
I slammed down my fork and stood up again and faced him, my stare just as hard as Rover's was. "Just because you don't like lower class things, doesn't mean that I can't like them. I happened to like this restaurant very much thank you. And if you stopped being an asshole for about two seconds to give it a chance, maybe you would like it too. Now leave me be, I want to enjoy my meal with my friends." I turned away from him again, only to feel his slimy hand grip my arm. I tried to yank my arm free, but he wouldn't budge.
Rover finally had enough and transformed his hands into his giant fists and pointed them over at the prince, who stepped back and let me go out of fear. "My boss said to keep your hands off and get lost bucko. I'll give you ten seconds to get or I got the permission to kick you from here all the way into next year."
The prince was dumbfounded by what had taken place. I guess this was the first time anyone had spoken against him, and a girl denied him, hard. The prince though, had not given up on whatever he wanted. He tried to move closer again, but Rover jumped in front of me and so did Midnight, she grew into her large feline form and growled at the young prince. The prince again backed away in fear, and fled outside of the restaurant.
"If that brat ever comes back near us again, I swear I'll.." Rover never even finished his sentence before he cracked his knuckles and sat back down next to Gabriella, who was stroking his arm, trying her best to calm him down.
"We'd be happy if you did do something about it." A woman behind us said. Our group turned and saw that the whole restaurant was looking at us. "That little monster thinks that because he's the prince, he can get what ever or who ever to do as he wishes. He gets most of the girls to go with him, and then he breaks their hearts and leaves them at the forest's edge, some of them come back, others we haven't seen in years."
"It's the first time that anyone has stood up to him." And older man said. "We are extremely grateful to you for that."
"Wait." I said, looking around at everyone in the room. "Why haven't you done something about it, couldn't you tell his parents? Surely they could end his horrible behavior?"
"That's where your wrong miss." Another said. "The last time anyone spoke out, ended up a slave to the prince by order of the King and Queen. He was the driver who you spoke to. He's been banned from seeing his family for the rest of his life."
"That's awful!" Olivia exclaimed. Everyone nodded.
"That child has his parents wrapped around his finger. It's like there the puppets and he's the master. That is why none of us speak against the prince; we do not want to end up like the driver you met. It's best that you all leave before he weaves you too far into his web of lies." Someone said.
"But we can help you." Rover said. A lot of people looked away and shook their heads.
"No, its best if you leave and don't come back. We don't want you to have to face the problems that we've faced. That man, our friend has told us the same thing. One day that boy will pass on, and we will be free, when that day comes will be the day we will smile and laugh again. We'll be fine child, you and your friends leave before anything happens." The owner of the restaurant told us. I wanted to say more, but knew it was a lost cause. The team and I paid our bill and left the restaurant with June and headed out to the main plaza. It was night now; the skies were twinkling brightly from the stars. I sadly sat down on the edge of the fountain.
"Jasmine we should get back to the robot now, it's gotten dark." Annabel told me. I looked up at the starry sky and watched them from below.
"I'm going to stay here for a while." I told the team and June. "Head back to the robot, take Midnight along with you. I'll be along shortly." The team looked at me sadly and saw how much pain I felt from the people in this town.
"We will see you soon then Jasmine." Annabel said softly to me. She and the team, along with June and Midnight headed off toward the robot. I was then left to my own mind. What could I do to help these people?
June's Point of View:
"Thank you for having you parents restock the robot for us while we were gone for the day." Annabel told me on our way back to the robot. I had told my parents that the team was going out for the day to restock and they instantly told me to tell them not too. They said that in return for saving the planet, they were going to restock the robot for us and let us spend the day together.
"It fine Annabel." I told her. "My parents were happy to do it, and if they didn't send me off to have with you guys, I would have helped do it too, not that I wouldn't want to hang out with you guys."
"I'm glad you are so eager. It reminds me so much of when we first met Jasmine, so willing to do anything, she still is." Annabel said to me.
"What is bothering Jasmine so much anyway?" I asked the team. "She seamed so sad, like someone had passed away."
"Jazz is the kind of person who feels other people's pain and it's in her nature to help those who need help, even if she hates them." Rover said. "It hurts her to see those people hurting, it's like she takes on the pain of the others around her. Their pain becomes her own, if that makes any sense." He said.
"I guess it does, but why did she want to stay behind?"
"We have no answer for the question, unless she plans on trying to talk to the King and Queen." Gabriella said.
"It wouldn't surprise me if she did, it's totally like her." Rose said. "I mean, she's doing the right thing, but what is there to be done? The people don't want help, so who are we to stick our tails into other people's business?"
"I guess your right Rose, but I can't help but feel guilty, I feel like I should be helping her."
"We all do June." Annabel told me, floating in the air. "But we have to do as we are told for now; Jasmine said she would be along shortly. We'll get up to the robot and-" it was then that Annabel suddenly stopped talking and the team dragged me into the bushes. When we looked up ahead we saw men in uniform all standing around the robot, like they would stand guard around a castle.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Rover said.
"And with good reason." Gabriella whispered. "It looks like they want us off their planet, without Jasmine."
"What are we going to do?" I asked. Annabel looked deep in thought before she turned around to the team.
"With Jasmine not here, I'm assuming command of the team." Annabel said. "We know that these people are working for the prince and we have to stop whatever he is planning. Rover, you, June and Midnight will remain here with the small ship that we have in the back of Foot Crusher Cruiser 6. Fly off with it, as silently as possibly and look for Jasmine, when you find her, return at once to base." The team and I smiled and we hurried off to work. I followed Rover even further into the thick brush and we hurried to the back of Cruiser 6. Midnight hid herself behind my hair as we got there. Once we made it there, Rover helped me slip into the back of the Cruiser, where the three of us waited while we watched the scene outside unfold.
The others walked up the path that we could see on our screen. I saw one of the guards watch them as they came up the path and walk up to them. "By order of the prince, you are ordered to leave the planet at once."
"Jeeze, didn't know we worn out our welcome that badly." Rose said sarcastically. "We'll just get our friend in town and be on our way." She turned to head back to town, but more of the guards stopped her.
"You are not allowed back into town, not are you allowed to be on this planet once you get off, which the prince is ordering you to get off the planet." The guard said.
"Just let us get our friend!" Olivia shouted at him. He shook his head.
"You have to leave now, no exceptions, you have to get off the planet now, or face the firing squad." To prove his point we head clicking sounds around us, the sounds of guns being loaded.
"Alright, we're going." Gabriella said. The team got into the robot and got to the command center. Annabel brought us up on camera after we had gotten into the ship.
"Good luck you three, and bring her back." We all nodded to her order and started up our engines at the same time as the robot, when the guards weren't looking; Rover flew the ship out of the Cruiser and threw the forest as our cover, toward the edge of town. He landed the ship a few yards form being seen. He opened the door and I ran out, surprise not to see him follow.
"What are you waiting for Rover?" I whispered/yelled at him. He shook his head.
"I gotta be here so the ship isn't found and so I can drive you guys back when you find Jazz. Plus, the whole planet is probably going to notice if a yellow monkey walks down the street when it was just banned with four others just a few minutes ago. I'll stay here and cloak the ship and wait here for you, when you find Jazz, just come back here and we'll take off." I nodded to him and ran off into town, hopping to find my best friend.
Jasmine's Point of View:
Just thinking about the people here, it brought tears to my eyes. How could their own prince treat them like such, when he's supposed to be watching over them, just as I do the universe?
It was then that I was disturbed from my thoughts when that nasty prince came up and tried to grab my face with his hands. I backed away from him and hit away his hands. "Don't be like that beautiful." He said. "Why don't you come back to palace with me?"
"Not in this life time, or any other for that matter." I snapped at him. "Why can't you guys leave me alone? I have to get back to my family anyway."
"What family?" He asked. "Or is it that family that's blasting off in that giant robot of yours?" I didn't want to hear a word he said, but I could hear the engines off in the distance. I turned and looked behind me only to see that my home and family was leaving. But my guess was not by their own free will.
"You did this." I stated to him. "My team would never leave me behind of their own will; they need me as much as I need them."
"Well one way or another, your friends aren't coming back and your stuck here, so why not stay at the castle before we settle you in as the new princess?"
"What!"
He snickered. "I've decided to make you my queen when I become king and its best to get you acquainted with the family and start you in on your lessons now while it's still easy to learn them. Mother and Father will not like the attitude you have and we'll have to mold you a bit. Then you'll be the perfect queen."
Before my mind could even process the words to yell at him, my hand raced before me and slapped him across the face, hard. He fell back onto the ground and looked up at me, an angry look in his eyes. "You have no right to take my life away from me! I decide what I want to do. And there is no way in hell that I would marry you!"
"Guards!" The prince yelled. "Get her and bring her back to the palace! And I don't care what it takes, just do it!" The guards tried to surround me, but I jumped over them all and ran into the forest. When I did I heard ever solider stop in his tracks and the prince looked shocked and fearful of the forest. I snickered.
"Later Princey!" I yelled at him, running deeper into the woods. I was out of sight of the town now, but as soon as I turned back to see where I was running to, something ran into me. I rubbed my arm as it throbbed in pain. I looked back up to see what I ran into when I heard a soft 'meow' next to me. I turned and looked at the ground, I saw my beautiful Midnight. "Midnight! But how?"
"You didn't believe that we would leave behind right?" I heard a very familiar voice say. I looked up and saw a dark figure walk out from under the tree where they landed. They slowly walked into the moon light and reviled a face that I was so happy to see at that moment.
"June!" I gasped, jumping up from the ground, running into each others arms. I couldn't believe how happy I felt at that moment. "Is it really you, or is the prince just trying to make my life even more miserable?"
She laughed. "No it's me, but why did he force the team off the planet?"
"He wanted to make me his queen so he could control me, but I slapped him and ran off into the woods. For some odd reason he didn't follow me out here, I wonder why?"
"I bet it's just because he's got no back bone, plus, if you haven't noticed he hates going anywhere that's not high class." She said, rolling her eyes. "That boy has no back bone, it sickens me to see a man that hidden behind others. It's just not right. I guess that's how I get along with Rover so well, because he stands out there and is not afraid of the girls on the team. He should be, but he's not. That's what makes him stand out." We both laughed at that and I felt Midnight climb up my shirt to get to her favorite spot, spread out on the back of my next and shoulders behind my hair.
"What happened away back at the robot? Where are the others now?" I asked June.
"The girls are all up in the robot in space because the guards were going to shoot them if they didn't, Rover, Midnight and I all stayed behind in a ship that was in the back of the robot. Rover's back at the ship, cloaked it and is waiting for us. We had better get going before anyone finds him out here."
"But what about the town's people?" I asked her. "I can't just leave them like this."
"Jazz, you know that the people don't want help." I shook my head.
"Its not that they don't want help, its that they don't want other to be hurt as they have."
"Whatever the case Jazz, I was ordered by Annabel and Rover to bring you back to the ship. Now its best that we get going." I sighed; I guess there was nothing else we could do.
"Fine, but I'm not happy about it. I wish I could knock that prince into next year."
"Don't we all." That was not June's voice. We quickly turned and saw a young girl of about the same age as me standing to our side. "We could really use some help getting him back after all the stuff he's done to the village. We've been looking at you for a while now; do you think that you could help us bring him down to where he belongs?"
"Where do we start?" I asked her, happy to finally get back at the prince. I could see June scowl at me from behind after all the effort it took her to find me and get me back to the ship.
"We're finalizing a plan as we speak to get into the castle. We have a girl who's in the castle now, and going to lower the draw bridge to help us get into the castle. Once inside, we need to get to the king and queen, once we have them under our control we can fix everything." The girl said.
"Now hold on, we don't need to be as violent as you put it." I told her. "We just need to keep ourselves from getting caught by the guards. So we need to knock them out, but we're not going to make the king and queen your slaves either."
"What are you planning?" The girl and June asked me at the same time.
"I'm planning a revolt and something that will fix everything. And hit that bratty prince, hard." I grinned. "June, head back to the ship real quick and fill Rover and the team in on what's going on. I'm heading over with the girl to gather the people and start a revolt in town. Tell Rover that if he wants to join, he can. We send a girl over to where the ship is so you can be led back to where ever this is going to take place, like in town. Also tell the others to land and if they want to join us, if not they can stay out in space until it's over."
"But Jazz.." She tried to say before I cut her off.
"I know June that the others ordered you to find me, but as the highest command, I out rank them. I'm helping these people, and if they don't want to help these people, that's fine, because I'll do this on my own with the help of the town's people."
"Are you saying you don't need the team… or me?" She asked. I shook my head.
"No June, I know I need the team, just like I need the air to breathe. I'd be a fool to say otherwise. But if they don't want to fight, as there friend and leader, I won't make them."
"What about me?" She said quietly.
"I did say that I needed the team, didn't I" I asked her. She looked away, falling apart. "You are part of the team, aren't you?" Her head instantly shot up and her eyes looked with mine, surprise in her face. "It may not be official yet, but you have to be apart of the team to be taking orders from Annabel and Rover. We'll make it official when we get back to the robot, when this whole ordeal is over." The next thing I knew, I was tackled by June in a death hug."
"Oh my god Jazz, thank you so much!" She yelled. I returned her hug.
"You don't really think we pass up on you being apart of the team this time, with you and your awesome weapon skills do you? Plus, I don't think any of us can handle another good bye." She squealed. "Now as your leader, I'm placing you with the mission I've told you of, can you handle it?"
"Yes ma'am!" June shouted. She turned and ran off into the forest, a girl that had been summand by the girl talking with us ran after June, following her deep into the wood.
"Now what are we to do?" The girl asked me. I grinned at her, and even in the dark, she could see it, and I saw her involuntarily flinch in fear.
"We rile up the town. Bring all the villagers out into the center of town. We have to do it still while the night is young, gather everyone, the girls in the woods too. I'll handle the rest."
"You sure are a brave soul." She told me as we headed toward the town.
"You have to be, when you're in my position." I whispered.
June's Point of View:
I was so happy as I ran threw the forest back toward the ship. I'm part of the team that I look up to; I'm working along side the close friends I had. I never even saw the girl that was running behind me that must have been a friend of the girl we we're talking to.
When I got back to the ship, or where it should have been, I tried to call out to Rover. "Rover where are you? I need to talk to you!" It was then that I saw the area in front of me blur and then I saw the small ship that was Rover's. The door opened and Rover rushed out the ship and to my side.
"What's up J? Where's the kid?" He asked me. Then he looked around me and noticed the girl behind me, frowning at the sight. "And who's the tag along?"
"We need to make contact with the rest of the team. Jasmine's planning on putting the prince in his place." Rover looked at me surprised and ran back into the ship. I ran after him, the girl with us ran up to the door and waited there for us. Rover brought up the team on the screen and they instantly ran in front of the screen.
"June, were you successful in finding Jasmine?" Annabel asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah, I was. But we have a bit of a situation now." I told them. "Jazz told me that she's helping the town put the prince in his place, right now she's going to rile up the village. She also wanted me to tell you guys that if you were going to join in, land the robot."
"We told you to bring her back J." Rover said.
"I understand that, and I did find her, but she, as the higher command, told me to come back here and get you guys if you wanted to join what's going on down here."
"What is going on down there?" Gabriella asked.
"Jazz is being the helpful person she is." I told them.
Jasmine's Point of View:
I was now standing in the middle of the village. The villagers had been gathered so that they were all in the middle of town and even the girls that had been hiding out in the woods had come out to join us. The girls had all the villagers bring along there weapons, and most villagers were hesitant when they were told this, but went along with it, just to see the girls who had been lost of such a long time again.
"My people! Please hear me out!" The girl I had met in the woods said to the villagers in the crowd. "Its time that we made our king and queen hear us! Its time they knew of their son's actions that have affected us all!"
"But how will we do this?" Someone shouted in the crowd.
"We have an ally that will help us with this problem. Our friend that the prince had taken a large interest into. A girl by the name of Jasmine." I stepped out and some of the people in the crowd gasped. "She is an outside who is willing to help us be heard."
"My dear people," I said. "I know for a fact that this prince has pushed you and you're loved ones around too many times to count. I want to help you all, but I need your help as well."
"What must we do?" Another in the crowd asked.
"Invade the castle, take out the guards, and surround the king, queen, and prince. Gather them in one room, and there we will make sure that truth is brought forward."
"So no one will die?" Someone else asked.
I looked at them all with a serious face. "As much as you all hate the prince and want revenge, I know that you all aren't killers, I don't want anyone to die today. But we still need to show them all that you want to be heard, which is why we're breaking into the palace. As we speak, a girl is lowering the bridge to the castle, now is the time. Are you with me?" The people cheered, raising the weapons they brought with them into the air. "Then let's go!" The people shouted again and ran off toward the castle. When we got there, we all saw that the draw bridge was down and the villagers ran in, taking out any guard in there way, and the guards, they fled back at their own villagers attacking them.
We hurried into the castle and knocked out most of the guards and from there; we just had to deal with the royal family.
"Fan out and search for them!" I yelled. Many of the young girls ran upstairs to find the royal family as the adults and boys held off the few guards that were left. It was within a few minutes of that that the girls brought down the king and queen, with the prince being dragged on the ground behind them. I smirked at him as he was dragged into the thrown room.
"What do you want from us?" The king asked sacredly. "Please let us go, you can have kingdom, just let us go."
"We are not here to shed blood, nor take your kingdom from you." I told him.
"Then what are you here for?" The queen asked.
"It has been a long time since you have listened to your people, so now you are forced to listen to the truth of your son, whether you like it or not." I told them.
"What truth of our son?" The queen asked.
"A couple years ago, a man came to you, complaining of your son, and you made him your son's slave out of anger and outrage. We are here so that you can hear all the villagers speak on behalf of the misery that they feel when your son is near." It was then that the villagers started to shout at the king and queen about there son and how he acted toward them.
"Hold it a minute!" The king shouted. The crowds went silent. "Do you have proof of my son's actions?" The room stayed quiet. "If you have no proof of my son's actions, then it is most likely that he did nothing of the sort."
"I have proof." I spoke up. The crowd whispered around me. "I have a tape recorder of our latest encounter and how he treated me." I heard the prince swore under his breath. I smiled at that and brought it forward to the king. He pressed the play button and listened to the conversation I had with the prince before I ran off into the forest, when he forced my family off the planet and tried to make me his queen. I saw the shocked expression on both the king and queen's faces and watched them turn toward their son.
"Son," The king said quietly. "How could you do this to this girl, to all of these girls, to the entire village?"
I saw the prince's sour side come forward and he glared at me. "You should be beneath me, serving me on hand and foot. You should do as I say. You should have become my bride as I wished of you. You can't defy me, no one can." I scowled at him and walked in front of him, bending down on my knees so that I was inches from his face.
"I did, and I would do it a million times over. You don't control our lives, and you most certainly don't control me you power hungry asshole." He growled at me. I growled right back.
The king and queen had been released from there places, grabbed their son by his neck and looked at him sternly. "You young man will fix the problems you have created. You will live at a peasant home in the village and work as a peasant does, until you know what its like to work and treat others as you wish to be treated, because anyone in town that is hurt by you, can hurt you right back."
"Mother, Father, you can't be serious!" The prince shouted.
"We are." The queen said. She then turned back to her people. "And I hope you all can forgive us. We were fools to believe that our son was an angel when you are what should matter just as much as he."
"What about the man that was made a slave?" I asked. "What will you do with him?"
"He will be released and we hope that one day he can forgive us." The king said. "We need to listen more to our people then we have our son."
"Well said." I told the king. "It time now I best be getting back to my family, there probably worried sick."
"Go to them, my dear girl." The queen said. "I hope one day my family can love each other as I can feel your family does." I smiled at the queen and made my way out of the castle. When I arrived outside, I saw my team running up the castle out of breath.
"Hey kid," Rover gasped as he tried to catch his breath. "How much did we miss?"
"You missed a lot actually." I told them. "I was just coming to find you guys. Princey is going to be in a lot of pain for a long time, thanks to mommy and daddy."
"Aw man!" June yelled. "I wanted to see that! But no, Annabel just had to make us wait for her and the others." June scowled and looked away from us.
"The reason I did that Jasmine," Annabel said, stepping around the scowling June. "Was because I felt you threw the power primate, I felt your feelings, they were too strong not to feel. You wanted to protect these people because of what you believe in, and you wanted to do it on your own, you might not think you felt it, but it was there. And I have to say, you accomplished this mission better then any one of us would have. You think outside of the box, creative ways of doing things that none of us can think of. You're surprising me even more everyday."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" I asked.
"It's a good thing," was her answer.

Once we arrived back at the robot, we met up with June's parents, Jade and Michael. They smiled as we approached. "It's good to see you again Hyper Force." Michael said.
"It's good to see you as well Michael, Jade." I told him. "Forgive us though, we have to leave soon, we've been here too long and it's to high a risk to stay much longer or else my father might find us." I said to them. "Hyper Force lets move out." I saw that my team followed behind me, all but June, who must have forgotten our earlier conversation. I stopped and my team looked up at me. I turned back to June who stood there, frozen and heart broken. "Did you not hear me?" I asked her. "I said 'Hyper Force lets move out'." She gasped and her hand instantly raced to cover her mouth. I nodded to her, smirking. The team smiled as they watched their newest member race back to her parents to say her good-byes.
"We already got your stuff on the ship and into the robot." Jade told her daughter, who cried in her arms. "We had a feeling that you were going with them. We love you sweet heart. Call us when you can or send a post card so we know that you're alright." June nodded as she hugged her parents tight, and then raced to the team and I, throwing her arms around me.
"Thank you so much Jazz." She cried.
"No problem J. As I told you before, we aren't passing this chance up again. You're a great friend and powerful ally, besides, lets face it, the two of us are both the worst when it comes to good-byes." I returned her hug and the team and I hurried onto the robot, waving to June's parents as we closed the hatch and Rose started up the robot and we flew out of there.
"I'll help you unpack June." I told her after we blasted off. "But first, the team and I need to give you something." She looked over at me with a confused look as I took the communicator out of Olivia's hands and handed it to June. "This is your communicator; it's to be used in situations and in emergencies only. Its how you can talk to all of us when anything happens."
"And another thing if I may." Annabel said. "June, do you know of the power primate?"
"It's that cool power that all of you guys have right?" She asked. Annabel nodded. "Then yeah I know about it. Why?"
"Because I feel the power primate flowing threw you as blood flows in your veins. I would like to teach you in the ways of the power primate, if you would let me." Annabel offered.
"Really, learn how to use that really cool power you guys all have? Hell yeah, I'll do it!" She said. Annabel frowned slightly at her use of a swear, but wasn't noticed and quickly dropped it, I bet thinking of all the times the rest of the team and I have swear.
"Alright, nobody's working on anything tonight." I told the team. "I want all of you to get plenty of sleep so you can plan your lessons for tomorrow. June and I will stay up a little longer and put away some of her stuff and then we'll head to bed. Understood?"
"Yes ma'am!" They all said. The all ran off to bed and I felt Midnight move off the back of my shoulders. She jumped to the ground and walked off toward my room.
"Is that all she does is sleep?" June asked me.
"Sorta, but even so, she's great company, plus she a great way to keep the back of my shoulders and neck warm." We both laughed and headed down to one of the guest rooms we had and started unpacking her stuff that Jade and Mike had placed down there for us. We started to unpack a few things before we both got really tired and just plopped on her bed. "Hey June?"
"Yeah Jazz?"
"You think I can stay here for the night, I have no effort what so ever to get up." I heard her laugh softly.
"Sure, I don't think I can move either." She said. "You do a great job as the leader of this team Jazz, I'm proud to be apart of it."
"We're glad to have you apart of this team too June." I giggled. "As for being a great leader, I'm just being me, because that all I can be."
"Its all any of us can be." June whispered before I heard her yawn, we then kept silent and let the sleep word of our minds over take us.
