Sandy gave a silent cheer, though nonetheless enthusiastic, as the music stopped.

Jack, watching out of sight, smiled. "Four down, mission accomplished!" All the big four were thoroughly enjoying themselves. No longer chomping at the bit to find him and leave the festival. "Looks like they're ready for my surprise!"

Sandy watched as an older man walked onto the stage with the help of a club shaped walking stick. His red beard pointed out and he wore stock gains and wood sandals on his feet. The hood of a cloak covered his face but Sandy got the feeling a grin was hidden beneath it. When he was before the crowd he raised his walking stick to his mouth, like a microphone and tapped it. A resounding thud, thud echoed. In a German accent he said "Check one, two, test dating testing. Can you hear me?" This got giggles from the crowd. "Good." Shakily wrinkled hand went to his hood. In a florist, he tossed it off to reveal a wise but mischievous face. With pointed horns sticking out of his hair. The cloaks swished to reveal a scaly tail that wrapped around the old man's feet. "Then let's hear it for this year's band." A second round of applause rang out. "Are you all enjoying yourselves?" There was a great cheer in response. The old man leaned forward and cupped a hand behind his pointed ear. "Aye? What was that? My ears aren't what they used to be. I asked are you all enjoying yourselves?!" The air seems to shake with the reply. "Excellent! Them would you like to hear another?" Bunny had to pull his ears down, the noise was so loud. "Then Rubezahl will oblige!"

"Rubezahl! The German legend it mountain man?" North asked shocked.

"I thought he was him Dragon man." Tooth said.

"I think he's both." Bunny concluded his eyes fixed on the tail.

Rubezahl turned and walked half way back to the band. The clearing went absolutely quiet, everyone waiting to see what this Dragon/mountain man legend would do. (1) With speed no one thought possible from his previous performance of a feeble old man, he spun around and shouted: "Wackle mint dem po!" His voice echoed for a few moments in the quiet stillness that's when the band started to play. The music was bouncy and quick, something that sent your feet tapping and made you want to move with it. "You know what to do information point follow me!" Rubezahl told the audience. He held up for fingers then started counting down with the beat. Four, three, two, one. " Winke, winke, winke." He sang waving with each repeat. Then he started to shake his body with the music.

Bunny's cottontail twitched with each shake. North waved so hard he nearly whacked a few brownies off the shoulders of the water nymph beside him.

Then Rubezahl started a new command. "Beug dich nach vorn." he said leaning, almost bent, to this right. "Beug dich nach hinten." After this he leaned, almost bent, to the left. Everyone followed him as he continued his performance. Lean right, lean left, look left, look right. Just as before he held up for fingers and counts them down. Four, three, two, one.

Two seemed embarrassed over the dance, which confused Sandy after her display on the previous songs. Sandy shook himself for all he was worth. In fact he shook so well he sounded like a maraca.

The band played enthusiastically as Rubezahl went freestyle, the main move being to shake his bottom. Everyone joined him in the dance floor went wild. That's when the mountain/Dragon man began turning in a circle.

The big four began to get comfortable and made less of a show in their moves. Now they just moved to the beat and followed the song instructions.

Unknown to the older guardians, Jack was rounding up a few friends.

Rubezahl started to clap and all the audience members joined him and the sound of rhythmic clapping filled the clearing. As Rubezahl counted down on his fingers once more (four, three, two, one) he noticed a small group headed his way and began to wrap up the song. His tail thumped on the ground and the band played as the audience free dance to the end.

Meanwhile Jack, Chesh, Jasper, Tiffa, Commodore B. Bedbug, and King were on their way through the crowd heading to the back of the stage.

Rubezahl is a German Dragon man/Mountain man of legend
