Hey guys chapter 11! To be honest I didn't think I'd get this far. Anyway I was asked to add in a few characters so I've tried my best to add them in to the story line so Enjoy!

EVA

Eva shielded her eyes as the wall behind her exploded. As she opened them she saw a sight that made her blood turn cold.

"N-n-no..." She stammered.

"Oh yes," Kross replied a cruel smile appeared on his face as he walked through the remains of the wall,

"It is I Kross, General of the Crog Emporium, rightful winner of the race of Oban." He said as his eye narrowed and he started to walk towards Eva.

"I've waited thirty long years to get my revenge on you, you pathetic life form."

"Get away from me!" Eva shouted at him as she shielded Dekka.

Kross laughed,

"Or what I don't see your little gunner boy here to protect you," Then his eye narrowed,

"Or now that I think of it he'd only delay your fate for a few seconds."

Suddenly he lunged at Eva hitting her with his massive fist sending her flying across the room. The force nearly knocked Eva out but she managed to stay conscious but she wasn't able to keep a hold on Dekka and he flew from her arms away from her, the impact knocked the breath from her lungs, Eva gasped trying to draw oxygen into her lungs. She managed a painful breath before Kross picked her up in his hand.

"This has certainly been worth the wait," He smiled,

"But this isn't your torment finished yet, no I have something special planned for you and the prince..." As he talked he didn't notice Laos getting up behind him, he did however hear him drawing his sword.

Kross turned to look at him,

"So finally the traitor shows his face," He dropped Eva and pressed a button on his armour, two long curved blades appeared from his gauntlets and glowed a yellow colour. "I've meant to get you as well Laos it seems that this is the perfects opportunity to do so."

"You've harassed my family for the last time Kross," Laos spat as he swiped his sword in front of him.

Kross narrowed his eye,

"Bring it old man," He challenged.

"As you wish," Laos replied as he moved faster than Eva could imagine was possible. She heard the clash of metal on metal as their blades clashed. Eva turned away from the fight and focused on looking for Dekka. She saw him and started to painfully stagger towards him. Amazingly the portal was still open and as Eva reached Dekka and picked him up the sounds of fighting stopped and a sound of someone trying to breath took its place. Eva spun round to see Kross holding Laos by the neck.

"Stay where you are girl," Kross spat,

"Or say goodbye to your pathetic father."

Eva looked desperately for a solution for someone anyone to help...but none came,

"E...va...go...don..t...lis...ten...to...him,"

Laos struggled to say as he looked at her.

"Quiet fool," Kross shouted at Laos.

As Eva looked into his eyes she saw something, determination not to give in to Kross, he nodded at her and she knew it ment she was to leave him.

"I'm sorry..." Eva choked on the words,

"I'm sorry...father," She told him as tears formed in her eyes.

"For what?" Kross asked puzzled.

Eva ignored him she looked at Laos and saw him smiling. She turned and ran for the portal. She was about to make it when Kross threw A piece of rubble with his free hand. It hit Eva trapping her right leg.

Kross started laughing again,

"Such pathetic attempts," He laughed,

"Did you honestly think you could get away from me?" He asked as he stopped in front of her, his shadow covering her in black.

"This has be-" Kross started to say but stopped when he saw two figures stepping out the portal.

"Still picking on people smaller than you," Ning said as she smiled showing Kross her razor-sharp teeth.

"Tut tut," Skun teased.

Kross turned to face the two Inna warriors,

"Is this all?" He asked amused.

"What business do you have with the girl?"

"None of your concern," Ning answered as she flexed her hand turning her fingers into long sharp claws.

"We do however want some payback from the last race though," Skun added as she drew a laser pistol.

Kross sighed,

"I don't have time for this," He said annoyed,

"So I'll make this quick," He dropped Laos and his blades appeared again.

He charged at them, Ning met him with her claws deflecting blow after blow as Skun ran over to Eva.

"Nice to see you again," She smiled at Eva.

"Can...we...talk...later," Eva told Skun pointing to the rock on her leg.

"Oh, sorry." Skun apologised as she picked up the rock as if it weighed nothing and threw it away.

"You okay," She asked as she supported Eva.

"Yea," She replied then she remembered Dekka,

"Dekka!" She cried as she spotted him lying on the floor. She tried to run to him but as soon as she put pressure on her right leg she collapsed. It was too painful.

"Take it easy," Skun told her,

"I'll get him." She said as she ran to get him.

"Ev-Eva," came a pained voice.

"Laos?" Eva asked as she saw the injured king crawling towards her.

"You must...get to the...Avatar and help..Aikka," he told her.

"What about you?" She asked.

"Don't worry about me," Laos told her as he smiled.

"Come on time to go!" Skun shouted as she picked up Eva and slung her over her shoulder next to Dekka.

"Ning let's go!" She shouted as she ran to the portal.

"Kay sis," Ning replied. She'd done a good job of keeping Kross busy. The general hasn't met a worthy opponent in years. Ning suddenly lunged out and lashed at Kross' neck drawing blood. Kross cried out as Ning ran to join her sister at the portal.

Eva looked at Laos and saw the symbol on his head glowing blue as they ran through the portal Eva heard a second explosion this one a lot bigger, then it was gone and they appeared on the other side of the portal just before it closed. Eva looked around, she was back...back on Oban. She recognised where they were at.

"It's the the ruins from the last race," She whispered

"More like a battle," Ning muttered.

Skun carefully set Eva and Dekka down on the ground.

"Why did you help us?" Eva asked the sisters.

"Well your friend over there made a deal with us when he realised you were in trouble," Skun told her.

"Spirit?"

"Yea him,"

Eva nodded then she looked up at the Phils towering above her,

"Thanks Spirit,"

He reached down to touch Eva's head,

"You're welcome," His voice said in her head.

Eya turned to look at Dekka he was still unconscious and Lainga was stroking his head as she hugged him.

"They're so cute," Eva thought to herself, "They're so loyal to each other, never away from each other...I hope Dekka makes it I don't think Lainga could cope without him.

She thought about Laos how he had defended her to his last breath, a tear fell from her eye.

"I'm proud to have been his daughter." She thought.

"He was just like my real dad, I miss them both,"

So what do you think of it so far? Ning and Skun have made a deal with Spirit and Laos has sacrificed his life to help Eva. I'm going to explain Ning and Skun's appearance more in chapter 13 but now the real tension starts! Stay tuned for the next chapter with poor Aikka.
