Sorry for the long wait, I was sick. But I did brainstorm. This is what came out of it. Enjoy... btw this is...:'( The end.

Shaiden growled ferociously at Noah and tried to stand but her ankle would not permit her.

"How pathetic. Really it's like you try to be as idiotic looking as possible." Orion sneered at the group but aiming it mostly at the ninja. At this point Noah had backed into the shadows. Smart. He knew a battle was about to go down. Thorne, Ballista, Skabb, and Croc looked at each other. Battle plans were being passed between them silently. Thorne whispered a countdown. 3,2,1...

Skabb ran back to the castle for backup, Ballista and Crocness took on Ruby, and Thorne challenged Orion.

"What does that leave me to do?" Gildar asked while looking in the mirror.

"Watch Shaiden and keep her safe. I'm counting on you." Thorne was currently fighting and talking at the same time. He was doing so well against Orion...until, he found out that he had telepathy. He picked the alchemist up of his feet. and knocked him unconscious on a wall. He "disposed" of Thorne in a soundproof dungeon that overlooked the battle. He awoke and groaned. He had seen what was happening and didn't like it. It started well, Orion stayed away from Gildar and Shaiden to watch his new prodigy , Ruby. Ballista hit her high with Croc hit her low. Ballista threw an uppercut to the red streaked girl which caused her to lower her head and allow Croc to swipe her feet out from underneath her. The girls had defeated her fair and square. But remember, that's not how Orion plays. He picked them up with his mind and flung them hard into distant trees. This caused them to scream. This caused Gildar to look up. He was worried about the two. They were tough but they haven't emerged yet, making them vulnerable. Forgetting about another person's vulnerability, he attacked Orion. He had forgotten all about the little ninja. Thorn was fuming. He was also worried about the girls, but he would never leave someone that was hurt completely unattended. He thought of one person he had not seen in the battle and was worried about his sister and where he may be. His fears came true. Out of the shadows a kick flew to the side of his sisters face. Almost. She grabbed it in midair and twisted.

"I am still a ninja you know." She answered to the boy who was now on her level.

"Yeah I know. But you're still hurt you know." With that he did the same move to her ankle that she did to his. She screamed out in pain causing the viking to turn around...Crap. He forgot about her. He was so focused on helping her that he was caught by the hilt of a sword, pinned to the ground, and had the sword pointed down at him.

"Any last words viking?" Orion asked with a cocky smile on his face. Gildar smiled the same smile back.

"Yeah don't turn around." This caused the cruel man to turn around. He came face to face with a fistfull of Croc.

"Ah ex wives. You're always gonna be terrified of them."Gildar stated with his award winning smile while Croc pulled him up. She glared at him then heard fighting going on from behind them. She saw Shaiden looking quite queasy from pain. Her face had turned palish green. She then saw the guy, Noah, fighting a brave soul. Kook. She had forgotten he was flying above them. She turned to speak to Gildar to find out that he wasn't there. He soon came walking back with Thorne.

"Oh and where were you Thorne?" She asked angrily.

"I was capture by the stupid Orion. Did you know he had telepathy?" He asked rubbing the back of his head where he was slammed against the wall.

"Ha of course not. How could you allow yourself to be picked up and thrown though?" She asked.

"Yeah, I saw you and Ballista go flying to. Speaking of which, Gildar! Why on earth did you leave Shaiden." He answered then remembered his sister. He turned just as Kook finished off the teen. He then saw him pick up his sister and return her to the castle. He didn't even look back at the others. Later on after they found Ballista, they returned to the castle. All Thorne and Gildar had were a few scrapes and bumps, Ballista had "tree burn", it's like carpet burn but it comes from trees, and Croc sprained her wrist. Thorne passed Kook in the hallway. He only had a few cuts himself.

"KOOK!" Thorne made himself seem angry.

"Look Thorne, I'm tired and I don't even want to deal with you right now." Kook muttered quietly.

"What! Who do think you are?" Thorne made himself seem even more mad. "Don't even bother answering, because I'll tell you who you are. You're the one that saved my sister. Thank you." Thorne allowed himself and a small smile at the birds relieved face.

"You might want to go see her mate. She's going a little stir crazy not being able to defend for a while and could use the company." The bird then trotted to his room where he fell asleep and dreamed about Robins, Canaries, and Blue Jays.

Thorne did go see his sister. It was awkward. When he walked in she looked at him with deep brown eyes and turned onto her other side so that she didn't have to face him.

Thorne let out a sigh. "Shaiden I'm sorry. This is all my fault. You're on f the smartest, strongest, and toughest girls I know. I'm glad you followed me here from England. If you hadn't I might be in jail for the murdering of a certain bird. I don't think of you as a tagalong. You aren't annoying. You're my little sister. Please forgive me."

"Well in that case... no." Shaiden wa still turned towards the wall.

"What? Why?"

"I can't accept an apology from someone who did nothing wrong." She turned towards him with a wince as she had to turn her ankle but then smiled. "I'm smart enough to know a phony British accent when I hear one. I know it wasn't you. Nice touch with the apology though. I left my splatana here on purpose. I knew you'd follow me." She looked at his astonished face.

"You little twit! You had us on a wild goose chase for nothing." He was only joking and she laughed.

"Not for nothing, I got a pretty good ego boost out of this."

A few weeks later Shaiden was back on her feet and defending the moat with Ballista and he brother. An attacker named Noah came though and Shaiden nailed him. They Ballista abolished another attacker named Ruby. And finally, Thorne took good care of an attacker named Orion and placed him in the dungeon.
