"Don't worry, we will have more respect when we revive Onais," I say to Desu, quietly. Dragons do not like being treated poorly, once we have an oppertunity to get out of this situation I'll make sure they know not to mess with a dragon and its subjects

Desta:
"Look, we're just following orders," one of them says.
Selphie:
You see a few of them shift nervously as you say this to Desta.
Everyone:
"All right, here's the deal," the leader says. "The animals, the ragged general, the Cloak, the loon, and The Professor come with us. The rest of you are free to go home."
Captain Balors looks at the leader.
"Hold up, now," he says. "What gives you the right to make those kinds of demands?"
"You do not need to know that."
"Attack!"
Balors and his men jump at the figures in black. While they are busy, you can escape! Do you leave, or save them?

Acting super smooth, I grab the cane and sneak around behind the melee. I quickly draw the sword from it's disguised sheathe and stab at the nearest of my assailents, in an incredibly smooth fashion.

I take flight, draw my crossbow and load it. "Alright you a** hats, time to show you why you never piss off a dragon!" I roar, and aim for one of the assailents knees.

I immediately leap onto all four paws and pounce upon the first enemy I see while attempting to dig my claws into his chest. "Tell me who you people are and what you want!" I growl viciously in his face, fangs bared.

Jasmine:
You don't hit as well as you could, but you still deal some hefty damage by sticking him in the side. He howls in pain.
Selphie:
You hit his knee, sending him to the ground! He curses you.
Desta:
The figure dodges you and slashes at you, leaving a gash in your side!
"We are the Black Cloaks, and we just want The Professor!" the figure yells.

Black Cloaks? Can't imagine where I heard that name before!"Black Cloaks? Now why would you want all of us if all you want is the Professor? Ever consider that me might be on the same side?" I say, looking around for Senythra.

I hiss as I feel the slash through my side and stumble slightly as I fail to fall where I had planned, but I quickly work to regain my footing and face the Black Cloak once more with great fury on my face. My ears perk slightly when I hear Jasmine's comment and make a gesture toward her with my head as I keep an eye on the cloak. "You should listen to her..." I growl through my teeth.

"You should have said you just wanted the professor in the first place, but now that you acted so unkindly to us you must pay for it. This debt doesn't have to be paid in blood though," I say cheerfully, and load another bolt, and set my action to shoot someone that trys to attack me.

Jasmine:
"Orders are orders!" a Cloak replies.
You see Senythra angrily grappling with one of them.
Desta:
"We can't!" another says.
You feel a hand on your fur.
Selphie:
"What are you—?! Oh..." a Cloak says, looking up at you.
Everyone:
Suddenly, everyone freezes. No one's sure how it happened, but The Professor has a knife in his hand and Al is on the ground, rubbing his head. He is pressing it to Desta's neck, his other arm wrapped around her tightly. He has an angry look on his face. Senythra seems unwilling to let go of the Cloak she started grappling, but also is paying close attention to The Professor's actions.
"I was promised a fair trial!" he roars. "I will NOT be deprived of this! You want me dead?! Fine, but you'll be taking the girl with me!"
"All right, all right," the Cloak leader says. "Put down the knife. We can talk this out."
"The time for talk is OVER! Let us all go, or I will kill her!"
Desta:
Even as he's holding a knife to your throat, he seems afraid to put it too close to you. Like he's become attached to you, and is only using you out of fear. Perhaps you were simply within reach? No matter the reasoning, it feels like he doesn't want to kill you; he's just afraid.

"And this is why you don't jump random strangers. Professor, wouldn't one of them be a better hostage than us? I'm pretty sure a war criminal like you is more important to them than his aftermath. If you kill her, I can assure you that what lies ahead would be a slow and terrible death. you can pretty much drop the knife right now, because regardless of your actions right now, you will end up losing. Just how much you lose based on how much you cooperate" I say, trying to focus on him, in a strange last ditch effort to perhaps muster some form of latent power.

I had flinched when I felt a hand upon me, but quickly froze with a yelp when I felt a blade upon my throat and the Professor's arm tight around me. After that, I stay completely silent and listen to the bickering among the Professor and the Cloaks. I know my face shows how terrified I am and I try to close my eyes and take a breath to calm down, but it doesn't help much. I try to look toward the Cloaks pleadingly. Where the hell are the guys that have crushes on you when you need them?! Although the Professor didn't feel very convincing in his threat, I was more concerned about possible accidents that could occur and cause my death...

"If you kill Chee-des... you have to kill me too. She's the only other friend I have. I won't let her be taken away from me as well." Shi'ita said his voice flickering between reasonable and angry, moving closer to Desta.

"Oh my, you've got some guts old man!" I say. "But really? I don't think you'll kill her, I know you'd kill me, but the hostage you have I know you won't kill." I pause for a momment. "Look you're going to get your trial, but it looks like it might be a trial by fire at this rate."

Jasmine:
"No! I refuse to give in!" The Professor roars.
You feel something strange in your chest...
Desta:
You notice The Professor's arm trembling slightly, the knife still not touching you.
Shi'ita:
"Not now!" The Professor says, clearly scared by your statement. "I will not be interrupted in my negotiations!"
Selphie:
"Trial by fire?! No trial is fair save before a judge and jury!" The Professor cries.
Jasmine:
Suddenly, your body jerks forward, your breasts jutting out rather unusually.
Everyone:
Suddenly, before everyone's eyes, Jasmine's body jerks forwards. Seconds later, she cries out as her shirt is ripped open at the chest. From this hole, a small purplish ball of ghostly fire rockets from her awkwardly jutting breasts, straight at The Professor. Jasmine's body collapses, resulting in Senythra running from her captive and grabbing Jasmine's body from the sand. She is still conscious, but in pain. The ghostly orb bypasses Desta and enters The Professor before he can react. He begins to act strangely.
Jasmine:
You feel strange...broken, even. Senythra is holding you tenderly. But you feel as if there is another mind pressing in on yours, trying to take over!
Everyone:
The Cloaks and Captain Balors' men look around, unsure of what's going on.
"Help...me..." The Professor gasps.
