Chapter 15 - Chapter 14: Unlawful Arrest

They all stand outside the Chapel with the door still open.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Heidi asks

"I'm Jhaan Justus, the royal magistrate of this Kingdom. Does the damsel have any more questions before I arrest ye?" The man says enraged.

"Yeah I have another question. Why are you arresting us?" Heidi says in anger as Jeffers holds her back.

"Such insolence from such a tiny young human. Thou will not last one cycle inside the dungeon walls." Jhaan says

"Calm down." Jeffers calmly tells Heidi

Heidi calmly says back

"Come on Anton, I can take this guy."

"Listen to the man, woman. Come peacefully and we'll consider showing quarter to you and your ilk." Jhaan then says

"Alright that's it." Heidi says

She punches Jhaan right in the throat, and he falls to the ground gagging. As Jeffers and Victoria look in horror.

"I guess Heidi has a fear of prison?" Victoria asks

"You don't know half of it." Jeffers comments.

One of the guards then punches Heidi, knocking her out and the others dog pile onto Jeffers and Victoria.

They then pick them up and place them all in shackles. 

"Hey, under the Magna Carta you can't." Victoria is interrupted when the guards say "Don't care." They take them to this horse drawn carriage that has a prisoner section. They then toss Victoria in first.

"Wait we can explain." Jeffers pleads right before they throw him in there.

"Can I just-" Heidi asks before they finally throw her into the back and shut the door.

Inside is dark and cramped with a little light coming through the three windows with bars in them.

"You ok?" Victoria asks Heidi

"Yeah, he caught me off guard that's all." Heidi replies

"Ok" Victoria says

"Maybe trying to tell them we're from a different TV show will help us." Jeffers suggests

"They didn't seem like they wanted to listen." Victoria says

Just then they hear the sound of some angry lady around their age run up screaming Jhaan's name.

"Jhaan! Jhaan!" The woman screams

One of the guards stops her and tells her

"Princess, forgive my insolence, but thy lord is busy at the moment."

"Your princess doesn't care about what he may be busy with. That bastard walks out on our date!" The woman screams

"Syndra, my dear, my soulmate, one of my loyal soldiers told me of a new group of spies from that jerk Savr. I have to act swiftly." Jhaan says.

Syndra soberly says

"Jhaan, this obsession with Savr has to end." Syndra says

"It won't end not as long as he and his warmongering father threaten this kingdom's sovereignty." Jhaan announces

"Unbelievable." Syndra says as she walks off.

Then one of the guards hits the back of the carriage and the horses then run along taking them to the dungeon.

At the dungeon Heidi, Jeffers and Victoria marched along a narrow dark walk away with only a light from the torches to show them where they're headed. The others in the dungeon cells scream out some in crazy rants. But most seem to be human who speak out and say

"Please, I'm not a spy, let me out!" Others scream

"You'll pay for this!" One guy even shouts

"Can't wait until Savr burns this criminal empire to the ground!"

They eventually stop at this cell at the end of the hall and open this dark cell. Two others a man and a woman inhabit this cell already but the guard says

"We're overloaded so you'll just have to share." As he pushes them into the cell and slams the door behind them.

"Wow you can barely see anything in here." Heidi says

"Did you hear the screams of those people? This Jhaan guy is a monster." Jeffers comments

"Or a mad man. Did you hear his girlfriend? She says he's obsessed with this Savr guy" Heidi says

"Savr be having nothing to do with us." The woman who was already in the cell says.

"The name is Susan, this is my brother Rodney. We have been here for nearly a month worth of cycles." She says

"Savr says he would protect humans who come to this land to trade. Unfortunately he'd rather sit on his arse and let his whores feed him grapes all day." Rodney says

"Sounds like being a medieval general is better than being a Starship Captain." Victoria comments

"Yeah, seriously I'd love to have hot babes feed me grapes as I sit in the Captain's chair." Jeffers says "Of course not either of you." He clarifies.

"Who is this Savr guy?" Heidi asks

"He's the emperor's son and general of his army and if memory serves correctly he's also the guy who rides in to save the day in the final book." Victoria says

"Save the day from what?" Jeffers asks

"The Dark Lord D'vron" says Rodney

"D'vron is an ancient God of darkness and king of the Trolls, he will kill us all." Susan says

"Who stops him?" Heidi asks

"The five man band of heroes. Conall the Leader, Aego the brute, Jhaan the lancer, Syndra the heart and Horith the smart one." Susan replies

"Great so that jerk who arrested us is one of the heroes." Heidi comments

"And so is his girlfriend." Jeffers adds

Just then Jeffers radio comes to life and on the other end is Beta.

"Captain, we have a problem" he says

"What is it Beta?" Jeffers answers in a concerned voice.

"The entire elven army has surrounded the Dibits and they demand entry." Beta says

"Whatever you do, don't let them in!" Jeffers commands

"Don't worry, I've activated the force field and they can't break through. It." Beta says

"Good, just hold out for as long as you can" Jeffers says

"Don't worry, the field won't exhaust for another 12 hours. We can outlast these guys." Beta says
