The day was strangely quiet as if bracing itself for the battle that was about to take place.  The sky was dull, with a blanket of cloud blocking the sun completely so it's light only weakly lit up the land.  Near Radiant Light the Queen along with Sakura, Lucile, Nikistatia and Hana were helping to get the small army ready for the battle ahead.  Meanwhile a couple of miles away, there were a much larger army of enemy soldiers.



They vastly outnumbered but lacked crucial experience. They were more or less cannon fodder just to bide time. At the rear of the army was a large but temporary compound of makeshift steel and wood with Zannasha supposedly comfortably sat at its centre.

 Guinavere and Tema were sneaking towards the temporary base out of sight but the base had many soldiers surrounding it. Tema sighed "well this is as close as we're going to get without being spotted" said Tema

"your right. It would only take one for all havoc to break loose. Fighting them isn't the problem but her majesty wants to take this foothold with minimum casualties"

"And if the army should attack, the queen will have no choice but to retaliate. Well might as well put on my costume"

"Remember what I told you, as Zodiac you can't show any kindness or remorse as someone is going to catch on." Said Guinavere "we have to remain undetected until at least we find Zannasha"

"alright. I'll put the band on" Tema put on the white band and in an instant turned into a copy of Zodiac



Proceeding from his hiding place he walked over to the base with Guinavere walking next to him. One of the soldiers noticed Tema walking over to them

"our lord has graced us with his presence" all the soldiers spoke amongst one another and it quickly spread. Tema took a deep breath and spoke

"everyone if you have time talking then get to work. NOW" this seemed to do the trick as the soldiers quickly quietened and got back on with their work.

They both walked through the wooden wall surrounding the base. Guinavere leaned to Tema  "where is Kyla anyway?" she whispered

"she's following us" whispered Tema "she's good at keeping hidden. And this is the front door" the door was being guarded by two soldiers

"my lord what brings you here?"

"I am here to make sure Commander Zannasha is up to standard. I won't tolerate any failure at this crucial of times. Now where is he?"

"my lord....h-h-hes in the meeting r-r-oom"

"but we can't let General Guinavere enter"

"I SAID STEP ASIDE" the soldiers seemed terrified as they let him through the door. Tema stepped through a corridor which seemed to head down into the ground.

When they reached the end it went into many different corridors but then Tema took of the band to change back to normal to which Kyla appeared next to him

"whoa...I'll never get used to that" said Tema

 "Master your band only has 3 minutes of magic left." said Kyla

"right now we need to get you a disguise as we need to save the remaining power for when we meet Zannasha" said Guinavere. Tema and Guinavere traversed carefully down the corridors with Tema being extra careful not to be seen.



Luck was on his side as he came to a room with clothing scattered around. Guinavere looked round
