Tocsax was about to nod, but a nearby Moggle glared at him. Deciding that he had infringed on their privileges enough, the Nobody allowed said Moogle to guide Joshua and Amaya to one of the spare rooms, which, though not on par with an Imperial Palace's chambers, did have all modern amneties, including a bathroom, a wardrobe with a set of generic-looking clothes, a TV, and other stuff, including books on the 'Original Earth'.

One of the Moogles has also stated that he was going to give the Royal Family of Japan - Napoleonic Glory's Japan - a message as to the whereabouts of their daugther, and reassure them that they are well and that they will return as soon as it was guaranteed that they were safe from further 'security threats'. This statement was entirely the truth, but only technically.

To Mach, the boy said, once they had the time:

"I don't think he cares. But at the same time, he's one of the few that can match the Seekers of Darkness in skill; I saw that in him during the fight. So we'll need him." Tocsax then sighed, then turned to Ninty.

"Anyway, Ninty, sorry that you had to see all this. First having to fight, then having to see the members of the group being angry with each other, and, well, for getting a stressful day in general." Not hearing anything from Henry, the Nobody would say:

"All right, there will be no raid on Richmond today. We have to rest."

[b][i]The Next Day[/i][/b]

The Princess of Heart's name, as they would later learn, was Valerie. Valerie was born a slave in the plantation that the Heartless, and later, the group, had just devastated, and thus did not have much in the way of education and prospects. As she had grown older and more beautiful, several of her masters, or even her fellow slaves, had tried to subject her to 'indignities', but, like Marina from Shakesphere's Pericles, Prince of Tyre, had managed to convince those who wanted to prey on her to reform their ways; this would be recognized as the Princesses' Heart of Pure Light subconciously influencing people, or outright giving them a personality transplant. Thus, her time at the slave plantation was filled with hardship, but less so than others.

Either way, the Union and Mexico, whom, as mentioned, the Confederates had invaded and stolen land from, were now invading the CSA with the help of Emperor Michael XIII Sideros' fleet - of course, the Senate had forbade him, his party, and Tocsax from participating as they were children. However, the Gummi Cruiser's inhabitants, the party, had no such restrictions, meaning that they can finally do as Henry wanted - pop a cap into Jefferson Davis.

That, or they could just leave and let the [i]Basileus[/i] do the blasting, but what fun would that be? Either way, it seemed that the choice would be decided for them...as a second Gummi Cruiser, colored black and white and sporting Swatsikas, would be heading for the group, using its sensors to find where the party's craft was located. But sensors were not the only thing it had - it also had several large guns attached to its deck, its sides, and even its bottom, along with missile launchers.

[German: "Ve know you are here, you humanoid insects! Surrender to the might of the Master Race, and your lives vill be spared!"] a voice shouted from the intercoms; in response, a Moogle's voice sounded out:

"Never, you nasty asses! As Captain of this ship, I, Admiral Mog, will defy you to the very end!" And with that, the Gummi Cruiser fired its own guns and missles, along with several Magitech Firaga launchers.

"Now," echoed the Captain's voice to the party over the speakers, "sorry for starting the battle, although as Captain of the ship, I can do what I like, technically. Anyway, you guys have a choice, either not fight at all - in which case the nasties will take the ship - or help repel the attack."

Suddenly, Mach would notice some interference with his armor - someone on the Enemy Cruiser was trying to hack it! Right now, however, the enemy was not trying to jam it or anything, but rather trying to steal schematics and such!
