In an instant, the attack began. Jaycacia had only just enough time to see the enemies' flash patches - the Black Sage Frond, emblem of Intel's ultra-secret Dark Division - before she was caught up in a fight for her life. Her powers were ineffective against her fellow PPCers - she could only have removed them from the story by also removing herself - but it was not for nothing that she had spent years training against Agents Dafydd, Suicide and Tawaki - simultaneously. Jaycacia's hands blurred...

Thirty seconds later it was over. None of the Intel Agents had gotten anywhere near Jay and the Sunflower Official - and none of them had gotten away. Jaycacia was breathing heavily, but her only wound was a small scratch on her forehead. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go to her lovers - she needed someone to wash the blood off, after all - when SOMETHING snaked out of the bushes and wrapped around her ankle!

Jaycacia fought against the dark tendril as it pulled her towards the forest. Jay and the SO ran towards her, but, "Stay back!" she cried. "There's no reason for you to put yourselves in danger!"

Don't be so confident, a dark voice cackled, and from the bushes rose...

THE SUB ROSA!

You! cried the SO. You were on our side!

That's what you were supposed to think! the Sub Rosa sneered. Acacia told me all about how disgusting your precious Jaycacia is - how weak she is. And this is the so-called best agent in the PPC? Ridiculous! I will kill her - and when the agents see how pitiful she is, why, they will renounce you, and I will rule unchallenged!

"Not while I still draw breath!" Jaycacia snapped, and used the powers given to her by an ancient daffodil to conjure a sword - and sliced through the tendril that held her!

The Sub Rosa let out a mental scream and flinched away. You may have won this time, it said, but when you return to HQ I will be waiting - and I will destroy you! Then it leapt into a red and black portal that looked like a bleeding wound into the heart of the world and was gone.

Jay and the SO rushed to Jaycacia's side. "Oh my dearest darling daughter!" Jay exclaimed. "I was so worried about you! I thought those nasty people were going to hurt you and leave me all alone! Are you all right?"

"For now," Jaycacia said quietly, her voice ominous. "But if the Sub Rosa gets her hands on me again, I won't be. I need to be stronger." She looked hard at the SO, and he sighed.

All right, the SO said sadly. I know what you are thinking of. I will speak to the Board at once.

"Have you noticed," Jay mused from her place on the couch, "how disturbingly good her spelling is?"

"Hmm." Acacia swallowed another date and tilted her head. "An interesting point. May I counter?"

"Oh, by all means," Jay said graciously. "It's a free country, after all - provided you're not a soldier, foreigner, plebian or slave."

"Or a woman," Acacia added. Jay shrugged.

"Well, at least it's a free country for the Emperor. You were saying?"

"I was saying," Acacia resumed, "have
you noticed how disturbingly bad her plots are?"

"Ah." Jay considered the olive between her fingers, and shrugged. "There is that."
