An Unexpected Dinner Guest
In the main hall the rest of the earth team and ambassadors were waiting for Eva to show up. Canaan was near the curtain waiting for the time to announce the ambassadors. Don turned to the earth team and with the same tone he spoke to them before the beginning of the great race he said this.
"Alright everyone, this is the first step in hopes of peace compared to the great race this is a lot tougher so watch you step."
"Yeah seeing as I'm the ambassador and all eyes will be on me and the others." said Eva walking up to the crowd.
Eva was looking stunning in a formal Japanese style robe, A deep wine color with light yellow flowers and pale green leaves on the branches near the bottom.
"Eva, you look wonderful." said her father
"Thanks, all of you look just great."
"If everyone would follow me I shall announce you." said Canaan
The Curtains opened as the ambassadors stepped forward as they were about to be called.
Down the stairs the king stood to greet the guest of the ball room with the queen at his side.
"My people, the heavens smile upon our kingdom. They have blessed us with the friendship of 5 new worlds and hopefully many more."
The King Nodded to Canaan to announce the ambassadors.
"Sir Rush ambassador of planet Byrus."
"Sir Van Flyheight, Lady Fiona Alicia Lynnette Flyheight and Sir Zeke ambassadors of the Planet Z Republic."
"Sirs Carl Liken Czubaults and Thomas Richard Czubaults ambassadors of the planet Z Empire."
"Princesses Aieka and Sasami of Planet Jurai."
"Princess Amberite of the Airesan Nation on Planet Zodiac."
"Lady Arielas, ambassador of the Western Geminian Nomad Temple on Planet Zodiac."
"Lady Luna, ambassador of the Southern Piscean Tribe on Planet Zodiac."
"Princess Alexendra, of the Northern Piscean Tribe on Planet Zodiac."
"Lady Obsedia, ambassador of the Taurasian Kingdom on Planet Zodiac."
Finally it was time for the earth team to be presented .
"Lady Eva I suggest you be last, it adds more of a dramatic effect." Joked Rick
"Yeah sure, 'Sir' Rick"
"Sir Donald Wei of Earth."
"Sir Rick Thunderbolt of Earth."
Sir Stanley Ramirez of Earth."
"Sir Koji Chen of Earth."
"And Finally, Lady Eva Ambassador of Earth and Grand Champion of the great race on Oban."
Eva stepped through the curtain and gracefully walked down the stairs to meet her father and the others.
'Don't trip, Don't trip, Don't trip…" she repeated in her head.
When she made it to the others without tripping, she led the others to the King, Queen and Prince Aikka and bowed.
The King stood and thanked everyone for coming. "And now to start the celebration My son Prince Aikka will lead the first dance with our distinguished ambassador from Earth."
Aikka stepped down from his throne walked up to Eva and bowed.
"Milady, may have this dance?"
"Yes you may kind sir." Eva said blushing as she bowed and gave him her hand. (Episode 18 alert) "I'm a racer not a dancer, I never actually waltzed before." Eva Whispered
"Just follow me Princess." Aikka Whispered back
Aikka took Eva's hand and guided her to the dance floor. He nodded to Arielas to start the music(Brooke Allison's Put it Together (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo from Cinderella 2)
As the song started they both bowed to each other and started the waltz when the crescendo led into the chorus, Eva kicked off her shoes and started to free style the waltz with some old and new world moves ( A Knights Tale reference) bringing the others into the dance including the King and the Queen. After the Dance and everyone working up an appetite one of the servants announced that dinner was served. Everyone walked out to the outdoor dining hall with white silk sheets thin enough to see the stars and the 2 bright blue moons tenting the table, the moon's light only enhanced the garden and the ponds beauty with candles decorating the area and table to add more light. The Royal family joined their guests outside and the king gestured everyone to sit of course Eva sat nearest the King next to Queen along with the other ambassadors.
"Eat, Drink and be Merry may we all find Peace and Prosperity on our worlds." said the King
"To Peace and Prosperity." everyone chorused
As the night drew on everyone was felling 'a little' tipsy but in a good way. Everyone was making small talk when a unexpected guest decided to make it's move… by landing on Eva's right shoulder while she was talking to Aikka. Rick noticed the frog and whispered in her ear.
"Looks like the prince has some competition."
"What ?"
She looks down at her shoulder and yelps as she knocks the frog off her shoulder.
Aikka and the others looked over at her as Rick chuckles.
"You don't like Frogs 'Little Mouse'."
"Not since a boy at my boarding school stuffed a bunch in my locker and half of them were dead when I opened it, no."
"Well that must have been a long time ago." said Don
The frog leaped towards her and she screamed and jumped up causing the others to jump up to try and catch the frog. Eva Scurried around trying to avoid the frog as one of the guest cornered the frog but ending up smacking the frog onto Aieka head. She screams and knocks the frog on to the table. Thankfully Luna froze the frog using the water from one of the goblets.
"That was interesting." said Carl
"Yeah a little exercise after dinner." said Van
"It's alright Eva we got the frog." Said Don "Eva?"
Everyone looked around but she was nowhere to be found. The Queen got up and said " I think we should call it a night, I'm sure all of you are tired and would like to sleep off the food and ale."
The King looked at the Queen a little confused but ushered his son and guest inside.
When they all left the queen walked though the garden until she found sniffling. She turned the corner and found Eva sitting on the marble bench crying.
"You should be embarrassed, everyone is afraid of something."
"I faced 2 giant Crogs and a Psychotic former Avatar and yet I'm scared a of a tiny frog."
"Being brave does not mean not being afraid but knowing that something is more important that fear remember that."
"Thanks, you know that would be something my mother would of said."
"I'm sure she is very proud of you, come I will show you to your room."
And with that the Queen and Eva headed inside.
(Inside the palace)
"The others have went to sleep."
"Good now is the time to attack, stand by for further orders."
"Yes master."
Just as the Queen and Eva were upstairs heading to her room a huge explosion ripped through the hall knocking Eva and the Queen to the ground. The others came out of their rooms to help as the knights and the King rushed down the hallway.
"My Love are you alright?"
"yes I'm fine, what happened?"
"It's the Crogs Milady they are attacking the palace."
"What do they want?"
"Oh no, Aikka!" said the king
"Looking for him?" a voice said
Everyone turned around to see Thomas wearing a human-sized version of a Crog uniform holding a blade to Aikka's neck.
"Thomas what in the Hell are you doing?" said Van
"Following orders like a certain prince should of during the great race."
Carl looked at his brother and noticed he had a glazed look in his eyes.
"That not Thomas, someone is controlling him."
"But who?"
"I am" said an oh so familiar voice
"No" said the King
"Oh yes" said Cross as he stepped through the hole in the wall
"That's impossible, how did you survive that explosion during the last race." said Eva
As the smoke was cleared everyone saw that most of Cross's body was Bionic including the his one yellow eye which was now red.
"As you can see I'm very much alive and have a quite obedient servant."
"Release my son and the Ambassador, Cross."
"Oh No I can't do that as a matter of fact I'll give you the Ambassador if you surrender the one who defeated me."
"Don't do it father, he will not release him."
"Quiet Brat, Your father and my lord are talking."
"No I will not hand over the child, but I will surrender myself."
Cross Chuckled at this proposal. "Very well, I was hoping you would."
Thomas took the blade form Aikka's neck and shoved him towards Cross and walked over towards the others. Once the King was next to Cross the Crog looked at Thomas. "Good work Human you served me well however your usefulness has ended." Cross presses a button which shocks Thomas and he falls into Carl's arms and with Aikka and The King in their possession Cross leaves the group listening to his cackles as they echo through the hall.
"Thomas, Thomas open your eyes." said Carl
"We must bring him to the healing wing." said the Queen
As Carl picked him up Zeke noticed something on the ground and sniffed at it.
"What cha got there Zeke?
Van Picked up what Zeke was looking at and caught up to the others.
Okie Dokie that was ch. 6 pretty cool huh, didn't expect that one of the ambassador would be a baddie did ya? But what's gonna happen to the Prince and the King?
