Everyone was so happy, except for the people of the government. This stupid little rebellion has blown their cover and riled up the townsfolk. Something had to be done about those eight pesky little troublemakers, but what? There was no way that they could dispose of them without causing a riot, or worse, a war.
Ninety percent of the townsfolk was in favor of the rebellion. And about sixty percent of the Lavaterian rebels have already broke their pendants. This was getting way out of hand; They had to fix this, and fast. They had talked and talked for days but they couldnt think of any way to get rid of the eight of them without creating a bigger problem than they already had. The only thing that they could think of doing was to capture the eight of them and publicly execute them one by one, and make an announcement afterwards, that if anyone else tries to rebel, they would suffer the same fate. Nothing was final though; they were going to talk about it for a couple more days first.
Two days later, theyve decided to use that as their Plan A. Plan B was to burn their houses to the ground with them inside. Either way, it resulted in them dying in a very brutal way. They were happy with their decisions; but they decided to give all eight of them a chance to back out of the rebellion first. Choose to back down, you go free; refuse to back down, you die. It was as simple as that. They were going through with this plan first thing in the morning. After this was done, they would hand out new pendants to everyone that was left. There would be sensors in the new pendants, and no one would know this. If someones pendant broke, the government would be notified instantly and would immediately send out an assassin to take care of them. All of this would be taken care of.
With the rebels
The eight of them were so happy, they were talking about what they were planning on doing with their soulmate. Athos and Blanca wanted to remain in Lavatera, Leviathan and Aki wanted to go to Elesia, and Dante, Samara, Rivin, and Catriona wanted to go back to Oaken land. They had it all planned out.
Later that night, the seven of them were staying at Catrionas house; and had all decided to have a night of fun before they parted ways the following morning. First, they were going to play Beer Pong, then strip poker, then they were going to go hang out in a karaoke bar the rest of the night. This was going to be fun. After about two hours of Beer Pong, they found out that Catriona, Blanca, and Rivin were very lightweight drinkers. All three of them were drunk as skunks within thirty minutes. Blanca was one of those drunks where all she wanted to do was sleep. Catriona and Rivin on the other hand were silly drunks. Catriona managed to climb on top of a table and started singing old sea shanties in an unbelievably bad Irish accent; but was so dizzy that she fell off the table with a thump.
Rivin on the other hand, went into another room for a minute and then staggered back through the house wearing nothing but his spider man boxers and one of Akis bras. Everyone else was laughing so hard that they were either crying or rolling around on the floor clutching their sides.
Dante, Samara, Aki, Leviathan, and Athos were the only ones that werent drunk, yet. They decided to go ahead and play strip poker, without the other three. As it turns out, Athos and Samara were horrible at poker. After only about thirty-five minutes, Athos had only his boxers left, and all Samara had was a bra and panties. Both were so embarrassed that they couldnt concentrate on the game.
Leviathan, Aki, and Dante took pity on them and told them to put their clothes back on, they were going to the karaoke bar instead. Once they were there, Leviathan ordered Jell-O shots for the five of them. A couple of hours later, all five of them were completely hammered; but none of them seem to notice.
Leviathan stood up and said that he would be right back, then walked away. A couple seconds later, he came back. He had something in his hands. He took Akis hand and said to follow him; she did. He led her up to the stage, then handed her a mic. She grinned at him and asked what song he requested. He answered with Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch. She then nodded at the person controlling the music. The song started and she began singing.
She blew everyone away and brought tears to some peoples eyes. When she finished, she took a bow, dropped the mic, and walked off the stage. Then she went and requested a song, then told Leviathan to get his butt on that stage. She had requested Lost Within by Fivefold. His voice was amazing as well; who knew?
The next morning, everyone had a hangover; but it was worth it. They all had fun last night, and they knew it would be a while before they got another chance to hang out like that again. They were sitting in the living room laughing about the things that happened, Aki was in the bathroom and Dante was in the kitchen.
When, suddenly, there was a loud crash and about thirty armed men burst into the room. They grabbed everyone and took them away. They didnt realize that there were only six people there. They were gone by the time that Aki and Dante came running out. They had heard a loud crash, screams, then nothing. They knew what happened too. the government had sent troops to arrest them; they also fairly sure that they were going to be executed in the town square. After Aki and Dante finished freaking out, they sat down and started coming up with a plan to get them back.
I cant believe that they arrested them Aki whimpered.
I know but you have to admit, this IS Lavatera.
True. You really never know what to expect with this place.
OK what are we gonna do?
Dante, if I knew, dont you think I wouldve already shared that with you?
I guess youre right. Sorry.
We need to stop, and actually think of a good plan. We only get one shot at this, if we mess this up, they die.
Dont talk like that, Aki! We wont mess this up; we will get them back and no one will get hurt.
Well except for the bottom-feeding scum that took them.
You cant forget about the people that gave the order, because you know that the guards wouldnt dare do anything like this on their own.
True.
OH! I GOT IT!
huh?
AKI, I KNOW HOW WE CAN GET THEM BACK WITHOUT GETTING US OR THEM HURT!
Well, tell me then, Dante!
Ok ok OK! Calm down
STOP! Only talk if your gonna tell me your plan.
OK, GEEZ! Alright heres what were gonna do
