Sup guys I'm back in the Oban Dimension once again – This is my first story with a 5th chapter (Woo).
Title: Preparations, Alwas Finals, and Oban
Dx: Let's get this show on the road.
RDF1: You said it. Now I believe Eva/Molly wants to talk to you – better get down there.
Dx: Right…
DragonX goes to Oban Dimension.
ON WITH THE FIC!!
(Record skids)
Back up: There's one more thing I HAVE to mention:
Other than my flop of a Davis/Kari fic – I had received about 5 flames or partial flames for my other stories. I shall be using the FLAME part in the rematch against Toros. So, THANKS FOR THE AMMO GUYS!!
Disclaimer: I still don't own Oban: Star Racers in this dimension. Try another one.
(Chapter Begin)
(Recap)
DragonX and Rick returned to DragonX's dimension. Rick went off to his quarters to rest, while DragonX went to Maya's room. He knocked and she told him to come in.
"Maya, I take it you heard about what happened?" asked DragonX.
"I didn't know Don felt like that, but he needs to have Eva's forgiveness," replied Maya, "Before I can forgive him. I still love him though."
"Love doesn't disappear like that. Why do you think I changed history? Canaletto was going to destroy the entire galaxy if I didn't do SOMETHING! I just hope your ready, because Eva is have a rematch with Toros, tomorrow, and I would like for you to see it."
"I would be glad to."
DragonX went to his own quarters that night for some long overdue rest.
(Recap End)
DragonX went to the Oban Dimension early and got there around sunrise. Eva/Molly was waiting for him.
"Can I ask you something?" asked Eva.
"You just did, but what do you want to know?" replied DragonX.
"I was wondering what YOUR family was like. Do you remember them?" asked Eva.
"My family… Now THERE'S something I thought I would never have to talk about again," sighed DragonX.
"It's okay; you don't have to tell us," intervened Molly.
"Calm down Molly. I'll tell you," reassured DragonX.
(Flashback)
"I WANT to do this. IT'S MY DREAM!" shouted DragonX.
"You STILL can't grow up huh?" replied his father.
"I thought you would've realized by now that you can't accomplish something like that!" stated DragonX's brother.
"You can make ANYTHING possible; you just have to BELIEVE you can DO IT!" said DragonX.
"FINE! IF YOU WANT TO THROW AWAY YOUR LIFE WITH KID STUFF AND CARTOONS, THEN GO AHEAD. YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE ANYMORE! GET OUT!" shouted his father.
DragonX left. He KNEW his mother wouldn't understand either; she loved him yes, but wanted him to grow up and forget all about the cartoons and other shows he loved and to get a REAL job if possible. He would just have to prove them wrong. He couldn't go to his friends either – they would say the same things. He ran until he couldn't run anymore – he had run off a cliff.
"!!" shouted DragonX as he fell.
He never hit the ground. He fell through a portal and landed on a BIG cushion – breaking his fall gently.
"Sir?" greeted Miss Porter, "Everyone's waiting. It's time for the meeting."
"What? Meeting?" said DragonX, still trying to get his bearings straight.
"Yes, sir. Meeting. The first meeting of your business is starting soon. Your dream to save other dimensions has become a reality."
DragonX followed Miss Porter. She told DragonX about how everyone here heard of his Dream to save reality and they decided to make it a reality. DragonX got changed into some business clothes and entered the meeting room 5 minutes later.
"Good. Now that Mr. President's here, we can begin," said one of the board members.
"President?" questioned DragonX, "Me?"
"Yes sir. We are your council for the business. This company has the best dimensional travel experts working on a teleport machine to travel to other dimensions to fix problems as you see fit," informed another board member.
"The first 20 employees are waiting for instructions as we speak," said yet a third board member.
"Show me," said DragonX, beginning to realize what was happening. He had fallen through a dimensional portal and was brought here to be the head of a business that was started based on his dream. The Employees were either standing or sitting at a table in the next room. Introductions were made and DragonX found out about each of the employees' skills. He assigned majority of them to Timeline Watching. They were to observe different timelines and inform DragonX about them. DragonX would THEN assign whoever was available or who was best suited for the job.
(Flashback end)
"That was about 50 years ago. I participated on some missions on my own," concluded DragonX, "This I volunteered to do because you needed help and I didn't want anyone else to attempt what I am doing. I had a VERY important assignment here. I am not through and I won't be through for a while yet."
"So, when you're through, you'll just leave. Just like that?" asked Eva, fearing that she would never see him after the race.
"No. I still visit the Dimensions I had traveled to and made changes to prevent destruction. I'm not about to up and leave you Eva," said DragonX, "Molly, you may have developed a different personality than Eva, but your still one and the same. Kinda like Twin Sisters. You just happen to share the same body right now."
"What about Don? When will we tell him?" asked Molly, before Eva took over.
"We can't tell him. He wouldn't believe us," said Eva, "He would actually take us out of the race if we told him."
"We'll handle Don when that time comes," said DragonX.
"We actually talked with Don. He actually remembers Eva and wouldn't visit her. He chose not to," stated Molly, bitterly.
"I know how hard it must be to have your father forget about visiting you, but we can't think about that right now. You need to think about your final race tomorrow. I think Stan and Koji are here and they will need all the help they can get."
Dx and Eva/Molly went downstairs into the Hanger to help build the Whizzing Arrow 3.
Toros chuckled. NO ONE will be able to stop him now with the upgrades he made to his ship. He was facing the Earth team again. He would CRUSH them to bits this time. He would make sure of it this time.
'Rick' was able to fool Canaletto into wiping HIS memory and 'Rick' already had the event recorded and sent to DragonX's dimension (his WORK Dimension) before fading out of existence. The REAL Rick showed up at the Hanger just in time to help with the final hour of building. No one noticed DragonX adding an upgrade of his own to Jordan's Turret. Satis showed up as well and handed Don Wei the scroll, which had the Final race opponents and rules for Winning and Losing. He went to his office and DragonX followed.
Don sighed. This didn't look good. They were up against Toros. Aikka and Spirit were having a rematch after THEIR race. Even if they won, if Aikka lost to Spirit, they would still lose.
"Random my foot. That's the same setup as they had in the first round," said DragonX.
"I know, but there's nothing we can do now," said Don, resigned at the lost to come.
"We WIN! That's what we do. Even if Aikka loses and we head back home, we can say we BEAT Colonel Toros in the race but lost due to a technicality. If nothing else, then think of it as a test. Toros is the only one we lost against that REALLY mattered back on Earth. Earth would do ANYTHING to have a victory over the Crogs!"
"I know that, but winning or losing doesn't matter if Spirit wins."
"We'll deal with that when the time comes."
They left to tell the team the news.
The team was waiting for them as they got back to the Hanger. DragonX left the Hanger hearing Don encourage the team to get ready for the final race.
Maya was waiting in the shadows with a cloak and hood covering her Identity. DragonX walked up. He gave her a small device with a button on it.
"This will help you. Wait until Eva sees you, then wink and press to button, under the cloak," said DragonX.
"Thank you. I always wanted to see my daughter race in person," said Maya.
"This will transport you to a different part of the stands," informed DragonX.
Maya walked to the stands. DragonX returned to the Hanger.
DragonX got to the control room just as Eva/Molly got to the starting point.
"DragonX, good of you to join us," said Don.
DragonX got out his comlink.
"Everything OK?" asked Rick.
"This is the most important race of all," said DragonX, with a hard look on his face, "This is a make-it-or-break-it race. Molly, can you here me?"
"Loud and clear, DragonX. Where did you go?" asked DragonX.
"That's not important right now. Just get a good look at everyone coming to support you. You got quite a fan group out there," said DragonX, before speaking to Jordan, "Jordan, do you notice a Red Button on your turret?"
"Yeah, why?" came the response.
"Don't press it," warned DragonX, "Whatever you do: DON'T PRESS IT UNLESS I SAY OTHERWISE! Got it?"
"Yes, sir!" said Jordan.
Eva/Molly looked at the stands, noting everyone they had raced had all come to support them. Their eyes wandered up. There they noticed a cloaked figure. They looked closer. They saw the face of Maya Wei, Eva's Mother. Eva gasped. Maya smiled and winked before disappearing in a flash.
"Was that…?" asked Molly, not believing her eyes.
"I think so. Mom is watching us after all. We HAVE to win NOW!" said Eva, getting her game face ready.
"You said it, sister," replied Molly.
"Ya'know, I think I might like having a twin sister," teased Eva.
"Like it or not, I'm here to stay," replied Molly.
"Molly, you alright?" asked Jordan over the comlink.
"Yeah, why?" responded Molly.
"The race is about to begin," informed Jordan.
Indeed, the first marker to begin the race went down. Eva/Molly quickly got their mind(s) onto the race.
Maya watched the race with a few tears in her eyes. She knew that Toros was ruthless and didn't want her daughter to get hurt. She trusted Eva to use her instinct and knowledge of her racing moves to avoid trouble.
Molly and Jordan soon had a good lead over Toros.
"MOLLY! DÉJÀ VU!!" shouted DragonX, over the comlink.
"We need some speed here!" urged Jordan.
Eva noticed Toros coming up fast and at the last second pulled a Rollover and got a little scratch on the top part of the hull. Eva contacted Stan and Koji about the Hyper-Drive.
DragonX was watching as Eva pulled off the Rollover. He was proud that Eva was starting to use Maya's tricks to avoid danger. Eva contacted about the Hyper-Drive. Stan gave her the answer. The Whizzing Arrow 3 was moving faster than ever.
"How can we achieve such speed?
"We mounted the turbines in clusters," replied Koji, "It was my idea."
"The Arrow 3 has some more surprises waiting, Don," said DragonX, smirking at Eva/Molly's progress.
Toros watched as Molly was catching up to him. He activated his one-time Overdrive to pull away.
Stan was refusing to have Molly activate the Booster-Drive.
"This may be our only chance!" said DragonX.
"I assume FULL responsibility," stated Don, who was manager and had final say-so in this.
"I do this under protest," resigned Stan.
"Booster-Drive enabled," stated Koji.
(Scene Change)
Eva was a little hesitant, but Molly convinced her it was the only way. They activated the Booster-Drive together and were astounded by the speed.
She wasn't the only one. Everyone in the stands was astounded as well. Maya included. She now knew Eva was ready to go to Oban.
Eva/Molly pulled ahead of Toros. Toros got angry and began shooting at them. Molly did all she could to avoid the shots. Jordan shot at Toros to try to keep him away. They rounded the final corner. Toros activated his Hyper-Drive, with Eva/Molly activating HER Booster-Drive right behind him.
DragonX prepared to contact Jordan. The others were stunned to see Molly pull off such a risky move like that. Stan tried to warn Molly about the imminent collision. DragonX contacted Jordan.
"Jordan, do you read me?" asked DragonX.
"I do, but I don't think I can help Molly right now," informed Jordan.
"Remember the button I told you about?"
"The one you told me not to press."
Rick also tried to convince Molly to stop as well.
"I am not stopping," declared Eva, before whispering, "I know Maya wouldn't have!"
"Press the button and watch the fireworks," stated DragonX.
Jordan had his doubts, but pressed it anyway. His turret opened up and 5 flames shot out and wrapped around Toros' ship.
"By CRAM!" Toros swore.
Toros slowed down just enough to let Eva/Molly get in front of him by the surprise of the flames. Eva/Molly won the race and avoided the Crog Trident one split-millisecond before it pierced the far wall from the finish line.
Maya watched as Eva pulled off the dangerous, and quite deadly, maneuver. She never felt prouder, but she knew she could never pull off that without escaping harm.
Aikka was walking to his hanger to get G'Dar ready for his rematch against Spirit. He saw DragonX waiting for him.
"You KNOW what you have to do," stated DragonX, simply.
"I can't," protested Aikka, "The Crogs wouldn't like it if I won. They want the Earth Team out of the Race."
"What about what Molly wants? What about what YOU want?" countered DragonX, "Is the Crog's threat on you home world worth more than YOUR honor? How about MOLLY'S honor? Think about that during your race and decide who you want to face on Oban – Spirit or Molly?"
DragonX walked to the stands while Aikka got ready for the race. Rush and Super Racer didn't need to race since they had 2 or fewer victories each and winning wouldn't change the standings. DragonX made his way over to Maya and got her back to the Office for the next part of her training to help Eva on Oban.
DragonX joined the others just as Aikka walked G'Dar out to the starting line.
"Aikka's gonna lose on purpose just to let the Crog's have the last laugh," said Jordan.
"Don't go there Jordan," said Eva, before looking down at Aikka on G'Dar.
Eva smiled/smirked at Aikka, but he didn't return it. DragonX looked over at Toros bullying Aikka's trainer. He glared at the sight before returning his focus on Aikka.
Aikka wasn't even trying to beat Spirit, constantly pulling back on G'Dar, despite his protests.
"Calm down, G'Dar. This is not our day for victory," urged Aikka.
G'Dar shrills angrily at Aikka.
Translation: What about what DragonX said? We OWE Molly after the way we treated her. We NEED to win to restore our honor! How could we ever look at DragonX, or even Molly, the same way if we do this?
"I feel the same way," admitted Aikka understanding what G'Dar was saying. He continued in a heartfelt tone, "We are betraying our friends AND OURSELVES! This cannot continue."
He chanted his speed spell on G'Dar, who happily sped along at full speed to catch up with Spirit. Spirit pulled ahead.
"You fight well, Spirit! But today I MUST WIN!" declared Aikka, pulling out one of his arrow.
He chanted his Blind-Attack Spell on Spirit and raced past him for the win.
Toros was NOT pleased. Aikka's victory meant that he failed. He not only lost to the Earth Team, he allowed them to go to Oban. His superiors already knew the race results and Kross decided to go to Oban himself, while killing Toros when he was en-route to the Crog Imperium.
The Earth Team was making their comments about Aikka's victory meaning they were going to Oban. DragonX approached Rick.
"You ready?" asked DragonX.
"The thing that bugs me the most is that Don was telling a lie, even if he didn't know at the time," said Rick.
Eva/Molly and Jordan went back to the hanger to begin packing up. Rick was already done before they saw Aikka's race.
"He just needs time," responded DragonX, "He doesn't realize that Eva and Molly are one and the same, yet."
"I'm ready, but I need to leave by the Transport so they won't be suspicious," said Rick.
DragonX handed him a device.
"Use this to get back to my office dimension. You will be staying there until I come to get you."
"Understood," said Rick.
They went back to the Hanger.
Don watched Eva/Molly watching the Ship with Rick on it disappear. DragonX walked up beside him. Eva/Molly turned around to see their Brother and their biological Father waiting for them. Don spoke first.
"Molly, time to go. We need to get to our transport before it leaves without us," informed Don.
"I'll catch up soon. I need to say goodbye to someone," said DragonX.
Don and Molly walked back to the hanger. Satis approached DragonX.
"I expect to see you on Oban?" asked Satis.
"I wouldn't miss it for any world," responded DragonX.
DragonX got out his hover board and flew to the Earth Team Pit just in time to get on board before they pulled out. He put away his hover board.
"I almost gave up on you, DragonX," smirked Don.
"I would've made it anyway," said DragonX.
"How's that?" asked Jordan.
"Easy, I know Satis," stated DragonX, "As an assistant to the Avatar, he wouldn't let me miss the Oban Finals. The Avatar wouldn't let him let me miss it."
They were slightly confused, but let it slide. They got on the Transport to take them to Oban.
Rick appeared at headquarters. He walked to Maya's room.
"Rick, I want to thank you for helping Eva," thanked Maya.
"It was my pleasure, Mrs. Wei. Your daughter will be better than I can ever HOPE to be," replied Rick.
"Well, she has MY abilities and Don's judgment – most of the time. Unfortunately, she got Don's temper as well."
"I could see that."
"We better get some sleep. Eva needs all the help she can get."
"I'm with ya there."
Rick left Maya for his own bed. They both went to sleep wishing Eva luck in the finals.
Molly was waking up in the module. Eva was still knocked out from the trip. She walked over to Jordan to see if he was awake. He fell over. Molly was worried until she heard him snoring.
"You could sleep through anything," said Molly with humor in her voice.
She wandered her way to the edge of the module, contacting Eva on the way.
"Eva, are your there?" Molly called out.
"Ugh, what?" responded Eva, "Molly, I was having such a nice nap."
"Nap's over. We're here. We've made it to Oban," stated Molly.
Eva looked out to see a great deal that she could barely imagine in her wildest dreams. She walked closer to the edge. Don stopped her from going to far. They joined the others and walked along the deadly bridge.
"Nice digs," complimented DragonX, "The Avatar knows how to live in style."
Jordan and Molly stepped in the doorway.
"Stan, Koji – I suggest working on the Lift Drives while Jordan, Molly, and I are at the meeting," suggested DragonX, "I'd say quadrupling their output would work. We'll need it."
He jumped through the doorway just as it came crashing down.
"I think we better listen to him. He knows more about this than we do. Let's get back to the Module," ordered Don.
They left for the module.
Jordan, Molly, and DragonX walked around the Middle Module. They spotted a fellow racer, but Jordan and Molly thought he was an Oban creature. They ran away from him, with him right behind them. DragonX calmly walked after them. Jordan and Molly stumbled upon the other racers, who looked at them strangely. Aikka told them about the nine finalists while DragonX joined him. Aikka pointed out Kross and Sul.
"Sul is the only one here who has never lost a race," confirmed DragonX.
Kross walked over and talked BS about Toros being weak. A voice interrupted them.
"In the name of my Master – The Avatar!" called out Satis, "I welcome all the finalists of the Great Race on Oban."
Kross walked to the edge of the pool. The others followed. Ondai spoke of Satis being on Sang-Grar. Aikka told Molly and Jordan the other Pre-Selection location – Dar-Wrar. DragonX knew the truth, but told this to the racers.
"Satis is one of the Avatar's Servants," spoke out DragonX, "One would think that he had some powers of his own – like being in more than one place at once."
Only Sul knew the REAL reason by this statement. The other racers accepted this as Satis continued. Satis told the racers the rules and standards of the Races. DragonX glared at Kross's Statement about the Life Rule. Crogs will never change that easily. Satis bid them farewell after telling them to get ready for the first race. Jordan dragged Eva/Molly away from Prince Aikka. Aikka smirked.
"Just wait. The course of this race is like nothing you've ever seen before," informed DragonX, "Use the spell I gave you back on Alwas and you'll be fine."
"Thank you DragonX."
They bowed to each other and went off in search of the portal. Kross spoke with Aikka. DragonX caught up to Eva/Molly and Jordan just as Jordan made a fool of himself.
"About time bro," said an impatient Eva.
"You wouldn't leave without me, would you?" teased DragonX.
"Wouldn't dream of it," countered Molly, sarcastically.
"Ha. Ha. Jordan, this way."
Jordan followed after them into the portal, his pride deflated a bit.
Don turned around when he heard Jordan, DragonX, and Molly come through it. He told them the Arrow was ready, with the modifications DragonX asked for. DragonX and Don went to the Control room while Eva/Molly and Jordan went to the Arrow.
The race went off with the usual surprises. While Eva/Molly couldn't prevent a crash altogether, it was subtler. They just weren't ready for what Oban had in store for them, for now. Jordan and Eva/Molly returned to the Module. DragonX was waiting for them.
"Jordan, that was reckless, but honorable," commented DragonX on Jordan's move of saving Aikka, "I think Aikka might be more willing to forgive you now."
"Yeah, well… I got to thinking: I wasn't really thinking straight when I shot him and getting locked in the Turret didn't help."
"I said I was sorry," said Molly quickly.
"It's okay Molly. I understand why you did it," said Jordan.
"We need to get some sleep. The next race will come tomorrow," said DragonX.
They left for bed. They needed to prepare for the race tomorrow.
DragonX wasn't in bed. He was talking to Satis.
"I know what you mean. Each of the racers will try to go after the Earth team one way or another," stated Satis.
"The next race won't have much of a change, but I'll try and help Eva as much as I can," replied DragonX, "Forter is a sore loser."
"Very unworthy of the Ultimate Prize," stated Satis, "Canaletto is STILL not aware of your presence?"
"He may find out after the 3rd race, but it'll be hard for him to find me and know what I'm doing.
DragonX left Satis for some REAL sleep this time.
DragonX and Don were talking about the race the next morning while Molly and Jordan were out.
"You're telling me that the first race was a test," said Don, surprise shown on his face.
"These are all tests, but the first was to find the Gate's frequency and find the others with the matching wavelength," stated DragonX.
"This is NOT what I expected."
"Things rarely are. Go get them. The next race is about to begin."
Don left to get Molly and Jordan. DragonX went to the control room.
(Time Change)
DragonX was waiting on Eva/Molly to return. Lord Forter was acting stupid and tried to board the Arrow 3, until a sea creature of Oban stopped him. Unfortunately they didn't get any points again. Eva/Molly found DragonX waiting for her.
"I messed up again, didn't I?" asked Eva.
"Calm down. It's not your fault that Forter is a stupid-head that can't accept defeat," replied DragonX.
"Yeah. I'll say," agreed Molly.
"Ya'know... You did a good job today, considering the circumstances."
"But we'll never win if this keeps up," said a depressed Eva.
"Don't worry Eva, things will be fine. You just have to wait for the right moment."
DragonX watched as Eva raced to get 3rd place. Ning and Skun weren't letting up on their attack. When they fired their Heat-Seekers, DragonX went into Action when Don was stunned into silence.
"MOLLY! ACTIVATE THE BOOSTER-DRIVE - IT'S YOUR ONLY CHANCE!!" ordered DragonX with all seriousness.
Maya was in a simulation Star Racer. She had her helmet on and she had wires attached between her and the computer. She was waiting for the signal for when she would help Eva dodge the missiles. She watched her onboard computer for the signal when it flashed.
Message: Time to start the Simulation! DragonX.
Maya quickly got into action. She ran through one of her more advanced moves from nearly 11 years ago. She felt her daughter follow her path as she avoided a direct hit, but got caught in the ensuing explosion. The Arrow wasn't too damaged though. She sighed in relief - she had done her job.
Eva heard DragonX's command and did it in record time. She sped past the gate, which disappeared behind her without her notice, and she pulled off a move that only Maya could have done with a Star Racer. She KNEW that her mother was with her in spirit, helping her whenever she can. She was able to dodge the direct hit, but couldn't escape the blast range. The Arrow 3 was alright, just banged up a little.
DragonX sighed in relief as Stan and Koji rejoiced about getting points at last. Don was happy and relieved as well. But that didn't cover the surprise and shock over seeing Molly pull off Maya's move like that.
"Well, well, well. Looks like Molly's been holding out on us," appraised DragonX.
"I'll be in my room," stated Don quickly, before retiring to his room.
Stan and Koji stared at Don in shock by his reaction.
"Don't worry about Don. He's just hasn't seen that move in years," said DragonX mysteriously.
Stan and Koji knew they wouldn't get anything else out of DragonX for now. DragonX left to go congratulate Eva on a job well done.
Eva returned the Arrow to the Module. Jordan was a bit shook up about moving at that speed, but he would recover. She saw DragonX waiting for them when she parked the Whizzing Arrow 3 in its place.
"Good job Molly. I didn't know you had it in you," congratulated DragonX.
"Uh, Molly? Didn't you say you had 1 brother?" said Jordan, still dizzy from the fast rotations Molly did to avoid the plasma blasts.
Molly just giggled at the sight of a dizzy Jordan. DragonX shook his head.
"Jordan, go lay down. You need to get your bearings straight before you do anything else," ordered DragonX.
Jordan complied. He walked a little funny as he made his way up the stairs.
"I think I'm starting to like Jordan like this. He's funny," said Molly, still giggling.
"Hey, leave him alone," said Eva, protecting her racing partner, "He won't do us any good like that in the next race."
"Molly, slow down there," chided DragonX, before teasing Eva, "Eva, I thought you liked Aikka?"
Eva blushed.
"I do. I just don't want Jordan to get any ideas," said Eva.
"Go get some air. It may clear YOUR heads as well," ordered DragonX, jokingly.
Eva/Molly grumbled a little at the joke, but went up the stairs anyway.
"Things will only get worse from here," stated DragonX, knowing the competition will only heat up as the race continues.
DragonX walked outside the Module to see Eva jump on G'Dar behind Aikka. Jordan hopped on as well; he didn't exactly trust Molly alone with him.
"Bring them back soon, Aikka. They'll need their sleep, as will you and G'Dar," informed DragonX, acting like any Guardian would do.
"Don't worry; I'll bring them back after the concert," promised Aikka.
"I would join you, but I gotta keep Don Wei at bay," said DragonX.
He watched as G'Dar took off to see the Oban Creatures perform their Temple Ritual.
(Time Change)
DragonX was waiting for them when they got back.
"I hoped you enjoyed the show. Now get to bed before Don finds out," said DragonX, his arms cross in an impatient way.
Eva/Molly and Jordan raced off quietly to bed.
"Thanks Aikka," said DragonX.
"Jordan isn't so bad. He just needs to learn his place," said Aikka.
"As do you, Aikka," reminded DragonX.
Aikka blushed a little at being caught.
"Good night, DragonX."
"Good night, Prince Aikka."
Aikka flew G'Dar back to his module for some well-deserved rest. DragonX returned to his room for some sleep.
Don Wei was lying in bed thinking about what DragonX said to him earlier.
(Flashback)
"Don, what happened out there?" asked DragonX.
"I don't know," confessed Don, "I just thought I saw a ghost."
"Let me guess - Maya?"
"Yes. I never thought I would ever see that move again."
"Maya was the best in her time and Molly was probably a big fan of hers. She probably tried that move in her spare time."
"Where did she come from? Where did she live before coming to visit you and all this happened?" asked Don, curious now about Molly more so than when he first saw her again after ten years.
"She wasn't really working, just tinkering around over the years. She never had a stable job though, mostly due to her age more than anything else."
Don sighed. He shouldn't be thinking about this now. He would handle this when he was back on Earth. DragonX left him to his thoughts.
(Flashback end)
He went to sleep thinking about the next race.
DragonX was talking with Eva and Molly in the Mental Plane.
(Mental Plane)
"Molly, Eva, I think I might be able to separate you two by the final race - if I hurry," stated DragonX.
"I'm not sure how Don and the others would react to that," said Molly, worried about Don's reaction to seeing double.
"We explain it to them and hope they can understand what's been happening," suggested Eva.
"Eva's right. We'll handle that when it comes. Until then – try to get along. I shall be there for you if and when Don figures it out," said DragonX.
(Mental Plane Exit)
DragonX left Eva/Molly to get some sleep. Jordan was snoring like a log so he didn't notice anything.
(Chapter End)
Well, there you go. I will try to see if I can't change anything else before the final race. The most difficult thing is doing Eva's and Molly's separate personalities and trying to remember where to switch it at the right times. My next update shall probably be my PRDT fic. Read and Review this please and my other fics if you get a chance to. See ya next time.
Later,
