I stood waiting under some arches by the docks with Tucker, Sonja and Wag. Tom stood on top of the arches, hiding from the king. We were waiting for Andor to come meet with us. He had said that he had something important to speak wit nuts and his father about.
" When do you think he'll show up?" Sonja asked. I shrugged in response.
"Friends! Good to see you here!" Andor called out from behind us. He walked in front of us and cleared his throat.
*Ahem* "I have heard that the greatest persuasion is nothing more than telling the truth...."

•Time Skip to after the speech•
"I INVITE YOU." Andor proclaimed as he finished his speech. Helgrind stared in shock at his son. I feared for Andor's life.
"Andor.... HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!? AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU, YOU GO AND DO THIS!?" He screeched. Wag winced at the volume of his voice.
"AL, AREST THIS TRAITOR AT ONCE!" He order Al. Al grabbed his sword out and rushed towards Andor. I opened my mouth to yell at him to stop, but something stops me.
Tom had jumped down from the ledge and was standing in front of Andor. His wings had cuisines his fall, so he didn't break his legs. His sword was raised in a defence stance, and he looked pissed.
"ANDOR! RUN!" Tom shouted as his blade collided with Al's. Andor turned and sprinted off the dock, quickly gliding out of view towards Tom's house. Me, Sonja, Tucker and Wag stand frozen in shock as Tom and AL's blades dance together.
Suddenly, Tom's foot slips out from under him and he comes crashing down. Al presses the tip of his sword into Tom's chest.
"Surrender, Syndicate. You have aided the escape of a criminal, and will be sent to Inertia for your traitorous actions." He spoke calmly although his chest was heaving. Tom's eyes shifted from Al to Helgrind to us, where we still stood in shock. Al noticed where his eyes went and smirked. "Your friends won't help traitorous scum like you." He says smugly "Isn't that right, sky people."
"O-Oh w-what yes. We would never help the likes of someone like you." Tucker quickly says. "After all were all devoted Mianitees, right guys?" We all nod out heads. I wink at Tom when Al turns back around, just to let him know we're lying.
"Screw you." Tom hisses at Al, his face twisted into a scowl. Al laughs and grins evilly.
"I'll be the least of your worries in a bit, Syndicate." Al snarls. He raises the sword up and I feel my heart stop.
Everything seems to go in slow motion. I watch as Tom's face shifts from angry to terrified as the swords plunges down.
