Everyone there was shocked to hear his words and after the words sunk in, they all busted out laughing. This left the invading group confused, because everyone in the surrounding areas knew about the 'Blue Stream City' and feared them. They knew the Laws of the City, and everyone did as they said.
Scarlet walked up and looked him in the eye with a smile but didn't say anything. As the Male looked at Scarlet's eye and his face paled. When the Others seen how he reacted they looked at Scarlet and then they became Pale as well. They had herd of the 'Great Spirit' that had Magical Powers and would destroy those that didn't bend to her Will.
When she seen that she had their attention Scarlet said "Good. Now that I have your attention. How about you repeat what you just said and this time I want you to really think about the words you use."
The Young Lion Male tried to speak but when he opened his mouth nothing came out. His mouth just opened and closed his mouth like a fish. He turned to look at the other Males and found that they couldn't find any words either. When he turned back to face Scarlet, he seen that she had stood back up and turned to Alex.
Alex tried to look innocent, but it didn't come across well. She quaintly asked him "So Fan Boy just how many have you eaten while I was away?"
With a sheepish smile at the question, he said "I only ate Two."
Scarlet was shocked that he ate Two Fully grown Males and didn't look like he put on any weight. She walked up to him and poked him in the stomach and said, "You really have Two Males in there?"
He laughed and said "Yeah. They were attacking and I was hungry, so I ate them."
She chuckled and brought forth a Toothbrush and some Homemade Toothpaste. Scarlet handed them to Alex and said "Go Brush your teeth and make sure to be thorough. They are Nasty Males and I just hope that you didn't eat anyone that Wet themselves."
Alex was a little upset that he didn't think about how dirty they were before he ate them. He just didn't want to deal with them and figured that it would be an easy fix.
As he was walking to the Water a thought crossed his mind and he wanted to ask her but decided to save the question for a private moment. He really hoped that he was wrong, but when he kneeled at the Water's edge Scarlet came over and kissed him on the cheek and said "Make sure to brush all your teeth really well please. And don't forget to rinse well after."
Turning back to the group she counted Five remaining Males and none of them were over Three Marks. With a curious look on her face, she turned to Doctor Sebastian and asked, "Is this normal for those in Cities?"
Being curious about her question he said "Owning Slaves is normal everywhere you go. Cities have more than any other place you will go, but not everyplace will have them."
Scarlet shook her head and said, "Good to know but I meant the Weak Males." Pointing to the group she continued "They are all only Two and Three Bands."
Her group chucked and Doctor Sebastian said "Oh that. Well, When Males come to Maturity their Bands appear. Usually there is at least One Band, but it will go off of the Individuals own Power. How they prepared themselves for Maturity. When they have their Initial Bands, they can Power Up and become Stronger. The Males in the Cities usually don't have that many Bands and the Stronger Ones are usually picked First by Females. The more a Male trains in his youth the more Bands they haven when they are Mature. Good breeding will make a Stronger Male, but it's not always a guarantee."
Pointing to the Males he Finished "These are the Average Stronger Males that is why they were sent to retrieve the Young Male."
As Travis was lessoning to Scarlet calling the Males weak, he looked at his own Three Bands wishing that he had Four like the others. He was the Weakest Male of the group and He needed to train to get Stronger.
With everything going on in Travis' head he didn't notice that the Morning began to change to Night with the Storm clouds rolling in. Scarlet put up a cover over their group and walked over to Travis.
Wrapping her arms around his neck she Kissed him and said "I Love you Kitty. Bands or no Bands you are the Strongest in the Group. There is nothing wrong with your Power or Abilities."
Travis lessoned to her and said, "I Just want to be the Best for you because you disserve only the Best."
She Kissed him again and said "You are already the Best. My Family is the Strongest, Sweetest, most Skilled Males that any Female could ever hope to find. So don't let anything like that get to you." Ending with a Kiss she hugged him tightly and the clouds started to clear out.
When Scarlet seen this, she knew that he started to feel better and went back to work. Turning to the Males she said "Okay so what you are going to do now is Die. Fireball ready?"
The group started to panic and the One that spoke earlier came around to say "Please don't kill us! We can help you! We are not Weak Males but are in fact very Strong! Whatever you need we can do for you! Please don't kill us."
Scarlet was used to hearing these types of pleas and brushed them off. Nick was about to roast them when the Young Bear Male spoke up.
"Please Stop!"
It shocked Scarlet completely and she said, "Nick hold on a minute."
Nick was more than happy to do whatever she said epically since she said his name. He turned back to her and waited for his next order.
Scarlet looked at the Young Bear Male and asked "What's up? Did you want them for something?"
He kept his head down and said shyly "They sent to hunt me down. bring me back. If they don't return you all trouble. I not let Sweet Female be hurt. I go back. You have time run."
