Meanwhile, {rince John eventually got his carrage fixxed and had arrived in nottingham. Prince John was forced to wear his old crown since his brother's crown was stolen.
Hiss had in his coils the new wanted poster for Robin hood. he knocked three taps on Maid Marrien's door. " Ah sir hiss, what a pleasure, come in." lady Kluck said as she let him in and then closed the door. "Thank you, I thought Maid marrien would like Robin hoods latest poster. Prince John doubled the reward in hopes that someone brings him in." Hiss said as Lady kluck hung it up in Marrien's wardrobe door. "Too bad everyone knows he'd just take it away in taxes." Kluck said as Hiss snickered. " So true, and by the way, I was going to send word through secret messenger to tell robin you had returned from London." Hiss told Marrian.

Maid Marian smiled joyfully, though attempted to contain her excitement. "Thank you, Sir Hiss. I have missed him for so long," she said wistfully, remembering their youth together.

"Very Well, My apollogies, but my duties calll." He said bowing a good bye to Marian and lady Kluck.
Sir hiss followed the captain to Prince John. " You wished to see me Sire?' The snake asked. " Yes Hiss, I plan a trap for Robin Hood, an archery contest. The winner shall recieve this golden Arrow, as well as a kiss from My Neice Maid Marrian." John said. But wouldn't Robin hood will see through such a ruse?" Hiss asked. "Exactly, I expect he will come in disguise, but his skill and pride will expose him." John said. "Indeed Sire, I shall send word immediantly." Hiss said as he departed.
Meanwhile the sherif of nottingham was just finishing up his tax collecting rounds. Normally it would not fall under his duties, but the tax collectors had all quit in defiance of Johns taxations and he assumed the duties.
He had come to the house of Mother Rabbit, alone to raise her brood with her husband away with richard in the crusade. They were celebrating the oldest boy's skippy's birthday and the boy's present was a single coin.
"Ill take that sonny." He said, swipping the coin from Skippy. :The family that saves together pays together he said.
"You fink you scoundral you theif!" Mrs rabbit shouted as she threw a pot at the sherif. " Assulting an officer of the law? I think not, your under aresst." He said as he whistled. with in moments the town guards were here to back up the Sherif. " Captain, we're taking this rabbit into custody." He said as the guard reluctantly obeyed. "Yes sir." He sighed.
"No no don't take Mama!" The children said as they started attacking the guards. But it was in vain as they were all soon subdued. "It's the dungeon for the lot of you!" The sherif said. However Skippy managed to get loose and took off. "Run skippy, don't look back!" his mother shouted.
That was exactly what skippy did, until he ran smack into into a Blind Begger. "I'm sorry mister, but I gotta run, my mama and siblings were arressted. I gotta find Robin hood so he can save them!" Skippy said franticly, unaware this Begger was who he needed.
Skippy's family were soon carted into the dungeon.
"So you are the family of rebelious rabbits who defeied the sherif?" Prince John said, coming down to greet them along with Maid Marrian who insisted. Mrs. Rabbit looked defiantly. "When King Richard returns, it is you who will be in prison murderer. You killed your mother and framed your sister in law and nephew!" She said spitefully. They then spat on Prince John. " May God cast you down into the enernal Pit of fire!" She said.
"This has sealed your fate, sherif, I want you to carry out their exucuttions, starting with her children." Prince John ordered. " Yes Sire." The Sherrif said as he entered the cell, the rabbits were all chained up, so no one could escape.

Robin, giving no hint of who he truly was just yet, sighed. "Why was your family arrested?" he asked.
Marian hated the very idea of the execution of children. She followed John out. No matter what, Prince John would know her feelings.

"My family saved up for a gold piece as my birthday gift. That mean ol sherif took it and Mama got mad and hit him with her pot, then the sherif called the guards to take Mama away. we tried to stop them, but they captured us now I gotta find Robin hood before something bad happens." Skippy said, his eyes flooding with tears.
"Sherif I want them all ready for public exucutuion, an example shall be made." John said as the sherif led the fearful rabbit family to the guilitine, where there heads would be chopped off.
"my dear neice, I suggest you not watch, it can be quite messy." Prince John said in delight to maid marrian as he followed the sherif out.

Robin took a single step forward. "No need to go and find Robin Hood, young one. He's me," he said, finally revealing himself. He put a sympathetic hand on his young friend's shoulder. "Come, let's go save your family," he said.
Marian had followed her uncle out to the execution yard. "How could you justify this?! It might even cost you your place in heaven. You'll be cast down into hell!" she said.

"An example must be made of these unrulely rebels." He decreed as he nodded to the sherif. Sir hiss couldn't bare to watch or listion as he left. Soon it was underway as mrs rabbit watched helplessly in horror as one by one her children were killed before her. Untill then, only she remained. Skippy watched in horrer as he saw his siblings all dead. "Mama!" He cried out as the guilitine fell, ending her life.
Just then the Sherif saw Robin Hood. "Come on men, get that theif!" He said.
"Stay your sword sherif." Prince John said. "Take a good long look Longstride, this is the fruits of your labors, the rebelion you instigated has brought the death of a family, your move." He said, laughing as he shooed him away.
The people were all stunned as Friar tuck was kept away from saying a final blessing over the bodies. Finally Skippy could stand it no more. He broke free of robin's grip and ran, ran straight to his house.
There was nothing but painful memmories here for him, Skippy yelled as loud as he cul as he started to destroy it, with anything he could lift, he started destroying the chairs, the table, the kitchen, nothing was spared as he leveled the interior before breaking down into tears into tears, pounding his fists into the ground.

Robin's eyes narrowed. "You just condemned yourself to all eternity in hell, Prince John, for both this and for your cruelty to your people. Just remember, in hell, when you cry out for water to cool your tongue, it won't be given," he said.

John scoffed at this. " We shall see." He said, departing the balcony as the Sherif and his men left.
Sir Hiss slithered to find Maid Marrian. "M'lady, I fear it is no longer safe for you to remain here," Hiss said. " We must depart for Shirewood forest immediantly." His said to Marrian. Prince John is in his study and I have bribed the guards, we must hurry, there is no time to pack." He said.

Marian nodded, understanding the urgency of the situation. She looked at the snake. "Lead the way, Sir His," she said.
Meanwhile, Robin had made his way from the castle and followed the tracks until he reached the rabbit home. "Skippy?" he called out to get the young rabbit's attention. He found him. "I am deeply sorry for your loss," he said.

Without so much as looking at Robin, Skippy dried his tears. " There's nothing for me here now." He said, holding a letter. "This letter said my dad died in the crusades, I am truely alone." He said, standing up in the wrecked house as he ran into robin's arms and cried.
Hiss nodded as he lead them to his private chambers. There he pulled a leverand the fireplace moved, revealing a secret passage. " This is one of several passages that were dug into the castle when it was built." He said as two guards loyal to him, Nutsy and Trigger came. " Sir, we're ready." Nutsy said. Hiss nodded as Nutsy took a torch and lead the way.
"This passage will lead us to sherewood forest, it was how my spys coveyed messages between here and Robin hood." Hiss explained.

Trigger smiled, "Yes sir and I'm sure that robin hood won't be able to resist." He said to them.

Robin tried to stifle his own tears as he held the small rabbit close. "There, there. Come. You will stay with me and the others. Maybe we can even find you a new family," he said.
Marian continued to follow, wondering if she would eventually see Robin Hood again.

Sippy nodded in robin's clothes as he turned around. " First I have to do something." He said as he grabbed a log from the still lit fire and threw it to the middle of the room starting a fire. " there it is done." He said as they left the burning home to collapse and burn itself out.
"sadly this is not a friendly visit. I fear we can no longer wait and Pray for king Richard's return, England needs nothing less than a revolution to stop John now. The Massacure of young Skippy's kin has shown Prince John will not hesiitate to spill even the blood of children." Hiss said.
