The walk back to the boat was, for all intents and purposes, uneventful. "Who is that? Is that your sister? Do you know her? She looks kind of like you!" Miiko's mouth was running at a mile a minute, wanting to know every detail about this new Essie character. Stella, in the meantime, was beaming, seeming happier than ever as she proudly wore the star tiara, which looked nice in her vibrant red hair. Miiko of course had not listened to a word of what Essie was saying, therefore she inquired everything to Rose, who did not seem too keen on answering Miiko's questions. "Hey, we should have a party when we get back! It's our first mission together with Stella and it'll also be a welcome party to the new spirit." Miiko stowed her goggles in her jacket pocket, it had begun to rain but they could not run due to the injury in Rose's back.
"We should get you to the Doctor first thing, but there'll probably be a wait." Stella had offered Essie her jacket to shield her from the rain and for, um, modesty. Miiko was the last to get on the boat, behind Rose when her shirt was grabbed and she was pulled backwards. "Hey, let me go!" It was a Republic soldier, the barrel of their gun pressed into the side of Miiko's head. "Move and the kid gets it," he began to walk backwards into the jungle. "Try any of your tricks and I'll shoot." With the hand that was not pushing the gun into her temple, he squeezed her throat, closing her airway. "R-Ro-Rose he-help," they disappeared into the foliage, Miiko's rose necklace getting stuck on a branch. "Come on!" He tugged, the necklace breaking, the plastic rose fluttering towards the ground. It wasn't broken, however, the chain to the necklace that Miiko kept it on was.
A situation such as this had to be approached cautiously, one could not just storm in recklessly when there were guns involved. At last Miiko was dropped at the foot of Lise and Pablo, who both watched her curiously. Sam turned bright pink when he saw her and looked away, shuffling off to take care of a sudden imaginary problem. "Well, well, looks like we caught ourselves a tour guide." Pablo winked, lifting Miiko up by the back of her shirt and setting her on her feet. "Stay away from me!" Miiko yelled, running back towards the forest but a line of Republic soldiers stopped her. She imagined the plastic rose, quickly summoning it, but as soon as the rose touched her hand Sam grabbed it and placed it in his pocket. "Just listen for now," he said very quietly. "Rebel scum!" Sam spoke a bit louder, raising a hand, Pablo stopped him. "Now, now, it's just a kid." He said, the gesture gentle.
"Let me go!" Pablo shook his head, "we just want to ask you a few questions." Miiko shook her head, "I won't answer them!" She screamed, clutching her wand. If she could uncap it and stab the closest Republic soldier then perhaps she could get away? But Sam had Rose, Miiko needed Rose back from him. "Give it back!" Miiko yelled, running at him. She pounded her fists against his thigh, but Sam only pushed her back. "Look kid, we just want to ask questions. Then you can go." Not likely, Miiko knew, because she was a light bearer and they had all seen her use her magic.
