"And if we go down, we're taking you with us!"

Everyone applauded as they saw the clip, which had been edited to make it look like it was straight out of a movie trailer.

"We thank you, Lloyd, for this." Yang smiles at the blonde before taking his hand, and lifting their arms up in the air.

As everyone ate, the TVs turned on automatically, revealing Gayle Gossip.

"Morning, everyone. I am here with two guests to talk about a new situation that has occured, vis a vis, the new propaganda that the Rebellion have fired back with. Pixal, Jay, what do you think of the situation?"

The camera flipped to the two people sitting. Jay looked bruised and beaten, and there were several dents and scratches on Pixal.

"What have they done to them?" Kai breathed, staring at the duo in horror.

"Well, I think that it's good, because you know, it shows they're alive and well. But think about it." Pixal starts, "They're clearly asking for it. Them retaliating with this propo clearly implies they want a war. And...we'll give it to them."

Zane shook his head sadly, "I know my girlfriend. This isn't her. This isn't any of them. They're doing and saying what they can to survive."

"Guys, guys, guys!" Skylor ran up to them, out of breath, a happy grin on her face, "People are hearing about this. That last sentence you said: 'If we go down, we're taking you with us'? People are leading with that. There was a riot in Birchwood. They set up bombs, and killed the Anacondrai Warriors. We're winning!"

Lloyd couldn't be more happier; this brought them one step closer to winning.

"Ah, Nya, just who I was looking for!" Nya whipped around to see Nadakhan, "A moment of your time, soldier."

The raven followed him into the briefing room, and Nadakhan shut the door behind him.

"What's going on?"

Nadakhan took a seat beside her, "As you know, Lloyd made a deal with Yang; he did the propos, the hostages are freed and given immunity, right?"

"Yes...?"

"Well, I have planned out an Elite Defence Team, to go in and retrieve them. I want you in it."

"Really? Wait, seriously?!"

"Yes-"

"I'll do it, absolutely!"

"Well...that was easy. Now, look." He stood up and flipped over the whiteboard, revealing the other side to have pictures of others in the Rebel squad, including her brother. Some had red marker over them.

"This was the initial team, and I worked from there. The actual team who will be sneaking into the Capitol are you, Skylor, Flintlocke, Dilara, Ash and Griffin. I've assigned Kai to go live, and convince the remaining villages to join our side, as a distraction to the Capitol. Is there anyone I'm missing?"

Nya's eyes looked at the members Nadakhan had picked, "We should bring a medical team. To check them over. They seemed pretty beat up when we saw them live on TV."

"Okay, we'll send Misako with them."

"I think that's it. When do we strike?"

"When we're given the perfect opportunity. Any news on the other villages?"
