B.C.E.

[I know it's spelled "chao" He asked how you pronounce it.]

"That!" she exclaimed once she heard the scream.

Sunny growled. "It's time to take care of this..."

[kk]

Echo braced himself.

Tikal ran away.

Shadow got up, but was still too weak form the two chaos controls.

Star put an arm around his waist, worried. "Oh, gosh..."

"Screw it," he muttered. "Anton, now!" He leaped up and tackled Shadow while Anton held Echo with his arms behind his back.

Star cried out, stumbling back. "No! Leave him alone!"

Shadow cursed as he was knocked to the ground.

Echo kicked Anton in the balls, freeing himself.

Something began to bubble under the Master emerald.

Sunny darted over, hitting Kale as hard as she could with a metallic bat shed formed from the dirt in the ground. Star's tail snaked out, wrapped around Shadow, and drug him to her.

Shadow put an arm around her.

"No good. I'm sorry. I did the best I could." He whimpered to Star.

"IT'S NOT OVER YET!" Echo said as he got away from anton who was injured.

"It's okay," the hedgecat soothed, stroking his back.

"I say it's over," the dog muttered.

[I thought we were gonna time skip and make them older? lol]

[After this story with the assasins is over. bbl]

Echo Threw a spear at the attackers.

Shadow remained with Star.

Anton coughed and fell over. Kale recovered quickly after feigning unconsciousness for a few seconds, jumped over the spears, and grabbed Sunny in one fell swoop.

Sunny swiveled her bat threateningly, glaring at them. "Just leave us alone, okay?!"

He stopped and put her down, holding his head. "A-Alright. Just... Can you listen to me? Honestly, I'm doing this against my will." He sighed. "Anton, jig's up. Come on up, we gotta explain ourselves."
The large cat groaned and stood up gingerly.

Star blinked, holding Shadow protectively. "What do you mean?"

He sighed again and sat down on the steps of the shrine. "We're... Okay, look, this might be a little hard for you to understand, being kids and all - But we're prisoners of war. We're Trojans and we were captured, we and our wives, by the King of Sparta. He held our wives hostage and threatened to kill them if we didn't hunt after you. But at this rate, it's too late... We already took his messenger bird hostage, but the king will get suspicious. I'm sorry. I didn't want to fight you. But we had no choice."

[LOL LOL When the brid said they were trojans he meant that would be the cover story but this works too! I g2g soon]

Echo nodded. "So what now?"

$

Shadow put an arm around star, standing up fully now.

"I have an idea. You guys go to the graveyard and find some fresh corpses. Cut off a few heads and give them to the king."

Kale smirked. "How delightfully morbid. That's actually a good idea."

Echo's spears faded.

"Yeah...and if they're echidna bodies they'll look like generals." He smirked.

Star frowned. It sounded really gross to her... But Sunny's grin was wide. "Can I help?"

He laughed. "I think I like you. Alright, you twisted little girl, let's get diggin'."

"Well, we gotta find some graves first."

Shadow noticed star's reluctance to help.

"We'll stay here." he volunteered.

Echo pointed east.

"That's where the 'important people' boneyard is."

He sniffed the air. "Eugh... Yeah, I think I smell something that way. Definitely fresh bodies around... Let's go, Anton. Puppy."

"Okay," the hedgecat whispered, pressing closer to him.

Sunny smirked and started off. "Well, then, let's get out of here. And don't call me puppy."

Echo followed them.

"Better to make firends than enemies."

[Shall we see them off or timeskip here?]
