Here is the next chapter. Please read and reveiw. I'm not sure, if this will be the ending chapter. Let's find out. Remember I gave you a hint for this chapter. It was: Aikka has something to do with the race. Only one way to truly figure it out, read.

They took off in search of the gates.

Speeding along the rough terrain, Eva weaved between the trees. She turned on the private connection. It was going to be a three way connection.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The screen in the control room fuzzed, and then, blacked out.

"What's happenning?" ,Don asked quickly.

"The private connection has been turned on, sir." ,Koji said, turning around in his chair.

"Override it, now." ,Don ordered.

"We can't do it from here. It's something Stan hooked up. We would have to override it in the Whizzing Arrow." ,Koji explained, while throwing a dirty look at Stan.

Don sunk down in his chair. His hands were holding his head.

"What are you doing, Eva?" ,he whispered to himself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The connection was loading. Jordan appeared on the screen, looking confused.

"I can't get through to the control room." ,Jordan stated.

"I know. I activated the private connection." ,Eva said, while barrel-rolling away from a tree.

"Just us talking?" ,Jordan asked.

"No, I'm going to get Aikka on the line. It's only three people. Oh yeah, please be nice to him. He's going to help us." ,Eva explained.

"I don't know about this, Eva." ,Jordan agreed reluctantly.

Eva was waiting (impatiantly). The bar that was loading in front of her filled. Aikka popped up next to Jordan. Aikka didn't look at them. He was concentrating on what was in front of him.

"Aikka." ,Eva said to get his attention. (Don't ask me how the connections work. If you want to know, find out where Stan and Koji are and ask them.)

He started and looked in their direction. Eva and Aikka made eye cantact. He looked away and asked a question.

"Why is it that you call me?" ,Aikka asked with a painful note in his voice.

"Are you alright, Aikka?" ,Eva asked in a concerned voice.

"Nothing is wrong. I am fine." ,Aikka replied.

"We need your help. Everyone needs to bring Kross down. You know that." ,Eva stated.

"That turned out to be very wrong with Sul. He is gone now, and we are all at fault." ,Aikka said in an ashamed voice.

"Kross isn't Sul. Sul was innocent anyways. Kross has many reasons to be eliminated." ,Eva shot back.

They stared each other down. Jordan was shifting in his seat.

"If you don't agree with me, then Jordan will shoot you down. I will not help you." ,Eva finally said through gritted teeth.

Jordan smirked.

Finally, I can kick his butt. Jordan thought evily.

"I agree, but on one condition. You will be my Princess." ,Aikka glared at her.

"Whoa! Wait a minute, pretty boy." ,Jordan shot his head up.

"What?" ,Aikka asked angrily.

"Done." ,Eva said quickly.

"Eva, don't listen to him. We can get rid of him and Kross with the help of the others. You don't have to do this." ,Jordan reasoned.

"I have no other choice, Jordan." ,Eva said tears welling in her eyes.

"Yes, you do. Remember, there is always another choice." ,Jordan pleaded.

"I wish that could be true." ,Eva whispered, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"You will come with me after this race. I will help you." ,Aikka signed off of the connection.

Eva turned the private connection off. The control room slowly came back into focus on her communication panel.

"Why did you do that?!" ,Don yelled.

"I hit the wrong button. Sorry." ,Eva sighed.

Don's body melted a little.

"Don't ever do that again." ,he warned.

"I won't." ,Eva crossed her fingers behind her back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aikka stared Kross' ship down. He reached for one of his arrows and strung it in his bow. Mutterring words in his native tongue, Aikka lifted his bow to be positioned to hit Kross, while he wasn't looking. Aikka loosed the arrow. It sped until it hit the metal. Kross' ship had been destroyed.

Smirking, Aikka whispered, "You will not win. I will have my prize, and you will take your troops out of my land."

With that, G'dar flew through the last gate. He had won. The Earth team had gotten second.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eva sobbed as soon as she and Jordan landed safely on the floor of the Earth Module. Jordan opened the hatch that had been unlocked. He looked to see Eva sitting against the wall of her station to the right of her rocket seat. She had her knees pulled up to her chest. Her face was buried in her knees. Closing the space between them, Jordan sat down on her right side. He slung an arm on her shoulders and pulled her into his chest.

"Jordan." ,Eva breathed into his chest.

Jordan just pet her hair.

"Why did you agree with him. I could've shot him down for you." ,Jordan asked.

"I didn't know what else there was to do." ,Eva whispered.

A screech was heard from above them. A figure ran into the hanger and flipped onto the hood of the pilot's station. Eva let out a long scream as the glass was punched open. Glass rained down on them. Aikka dropped down into the small space. He grabbed Eva by the wrist and flipped her onto his shoulder before Jordan could react. Aikka pulled himself out of the space and ran up the stairs with Eva flailing her arms and legs. Her left arm hit him in the eye, and her foot hit him in the tush, hard. Aikka yelped in pain, but kept going.

"JORDAN!!!" ,Eva screamed.

"EVA!!!!!" ,Jordan shouted after her.

Aikka heard Jordan's footfalls closing in behind him. He had made it to the opening to the ledge and lept off the edge. G'dar swooped down and caught the couple before they fell too far. With a big 'umph', Aikka laid Eva down on G'dar's saddle. She was still thrashing her limbs around. Aikka forced her to stop moving and tied her arms and legs together with rope on the horn of the saddle. Eva let tears fall in her defeat.

Jordan. I love you. Eva thought for Jordan to hear her.

"You will be mine tonight. If you behave, we will go to my home and live together happily as husband and wife." ,Aikka said to Eva.

Eva spat at him. The saliva hit him straight in the eye. As Aikka wiped away the fluid, Eva spat, "I will not let you touch me. I love Jordan."

Aikka laughed coldly. "That gunner will die, if you don't do as I say."

He pulled out his sword. Eva stared at it in disbelief.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night, Eva was laying in Aikka's bed still tied. She had tried to loosen the ropes that bound her, but only to rub the skin on her wrists away. A figure walked in the room.

"I am sorry, that he has done this to you. He has never been this way." ,Cannan said in sorrow. "I am forced to obey his royal orders."

"He will surprise most people. I have learned that." ,Eva whispered.

Aikka walked in the room a few minutes later. He was naked. Cannan was ordered to stay. When Eva asked why, Cannan replied, "It is a tradition. If the woman, that the man chooses, does not cooperate, the person watching, helps." Cannan's body seemed to shrink, while he said this.

Tears filled Eva's eyes, as Aikka took off her clothes. He untied her arms and legs. Eva pushed Aikka away from her and sat up, while pulling her knees to her chest. She was trying to conceal herself. Aikka forced her back down and tied her arms back together. She closed her legs tightly. Aikka tried to pry them apart. Seeing she wasn't moving, he motioned to Cannan. Cannan obeyed. Looking between her legs, he pried Eva's legs apart. While Cannan was holding her legs open, Aikka positioned himself on top of her. The tears fell from her eyes as he entered her. He adjusted himself and nestled deeper into Eva. He then, pulled out a little and thrust himself in. Eva tried to not let a moan pass her lips, but failed miserably. Each time Aikka thrust himself into her, she moaned loudly. He was ravishing her for all that she was worth. Her point was near. She screamed out. Aikka didn't stop. He ignored Eva's cries, and kept thrusting himself harder and faster with each scream. He was thrusting himself as hard and as fast as he could, but still didn't stop. He kissed her full on the mouth for a minute. She relaxed, as if by magic. She started to thrust back at him. Her face told him that she was trying to resist, but couldn't make her body stop thrusting at him. She sobbed. Aikka's seeds were in her a few times before he tired.

Jordan, I'm so sorry. Eva thought to him. I wanted to do this with you and only you.

Aikka kept up his speed for an hour before he felt tired. He leaned down to her to ear and whispered, "Keep going."

With that, he switched their positions. (twenty minutes later) When he was finally rested, she fell on Aikka, with his penis inside her. Aikka pulled her closer to him. She was too tired and hurt to fight back. He pushed his lower abdomen towards her harder and pulled hers closer on him. Switching their positions, Aikka went back to thrusting himself into her. She moaned louder and louder. She was too hurt to move anymore. She needed to stop. (Nourassions have longer times together for sex, a lot longer than humans.) He was fully rested and went on for another four hours thrusting. The strength that came from his thrusts were stronger than anyone Eva knew about. Her moans and screams were useless, but she kept on screaming and moaning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The module next to Aikka's was the Earth team's. The early grays of dawn peeked over the horizon. From the room that Jordan and Eva shared, Jordan could hear Eva's screams. Tears fell from his eyes. He had tried to get her, but didn't know how to get to the module. His heart was torn. Not able to sleep, Jordan started pacing. Finally, he went up to the ledge. Stan and Koji were there.

Not turning around, Stan said suducively, "Eva is finally getting busy. How long has this gone on, Koji?"

Koji looked at his watch and replied, "Five hours and thirty-two minutes."

"Man, she can really keep going. I think that would be a world record. I wonder how long I could go on with her."

"Could I observe for Science?" ,Koji asked in an official voice.

"Sure." ,Stan said sarcastically.

Jordan turned around and went to the ground. He was passing the Nourassion portal, when the idea hit him. He walked to the portal stone and ouched it. It didn't light up. He pushed himself into it, but it still wouldn't budge. He went to the other side of the room and got ready to sprint at the stone. He pushed off. When he got an inch away from the stone it lit up. Jordan passed through it and fell face down on the floor. Getting up, he followed the moans to the source. He was about to help Eva, even if he had to die. (Jordan is so brave.) He finally reached the room. Peering in, he saw everything. Pulling his head back, he took a deep breath. Walking in slowly, he silently moved forward towards the bed. He saw a stave on the floor and carefully picked it up. Cocking it back, Jordan swung it with all of his might at Cannan. Cannan crumpled to the floor. Aikka stopped and looked at Jordan. Getting up, Aikka got into a fighting stance.

Jordan went to a stance too. They stood that way for the longest time, waiting for the other to strike. Aikka was the one who struck out at Jordan first. Jordan blocked him and countered the attack by shoving the end of the stave into his gut. Aikka doubled over. Jordan went for his head and struck. Aikka, at the last second, grabbed the stave out of Jordan's hands. Aikka got his composure back and swung at Jordan. He ducked, and saw Aikka's short handled sword lying at the foot of the bed. Eva had covered herself in a blanket and watched them battling.

Jordan nodded at her. She looked down at the foot of the bed and saw what he had looked at. She snatched it waiting for Jordan's signal. He jumped over Aikka's leg that had tried to sweep him off his feet. Eva threw it towards him. He snatched it, and before he landed, Jordan swiped at Aikka's right arm. It started to bleed. He looked at it in surprise. Jordan swung again and got the other arm. Aikka cried out in pain. Throwing his arms up, Aikka surrendered. Jordan kept the sword cocked, while Eva dressed. When she was fully dressed, she edged towards Jordan. Backing out of the room, they broke out into a sprint to the portal. Jordan threw the sword away from them, as they jumped into the lit portal.

Landing on the ground, Jordan was thrown out and landed on his tush. Eva was thrown out and landed on top of him in a tangle of arms and legs. They untangled themselves and stood up. Eva was sobbing. She was swaying on her feet, and Jordan realized this. He scooped her into his arms and carried her back to the Earth portal. Jordan landed heavily on his feet. He made it to their room swiftly and quietly. Crossing the room, Jordan laid Eva on her hammock. Hers crimson eyes were glazed. She heaved herself upright and pulled Jordan's face closer towards her own. Pressing her lips against his, she deepened the kiss. She felt his arms encircle her, with him kissing back with the same intensity. They broke away from each other and breathed deeply. Eva leaned into Jordan's chest and whispered, "I love you, Jordan."

"I love you too, Eva." ,Jordan breathed.

Eva fell back into her hammock. Jordan took off her shoes and covered her up. He crossed back over towards his own bed and fell asleep.
