Aicha, Aton and Sewu were surprised to see an imperial guard entering the restaurant like this without being invited. And the angry look on his face was far from being rassuring.

"Hum, is there something wrong, Mr. Guard?" Aicha asked, trying to look as innocent as possible.

"I'm here by order of the Pharaon! All the residents of the Oasis informed us of a long event you held here, last night."

"So what? Was it forbidden?" Sewu asked with her wings crossed.

"No, it's not. However, the Pharaon know that such an event brings up a lot of money. Therefore, he required you to give us half of what you obtained."

The three friends looked scandalized. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it a second, my friend." Aton interfered. "My friend here present worked really hard to earn this money and needs a lot to kep her restaurant open."

"Silent, citizen! I wasn't asking you! It's an order from the Pharaon!" The guard screamed and swung his spear at the raven who simply ducked underneath it and stabbed his Maqbara sword right through his chest.

"Well, I wasn't asking either: I was just giving you the info." He said and pushed the guard out of the restaurant by the entrance door.

It was only then that he realized that there was many more soldiers outside. Apparently, they really didn't appreciated that he killed their leader. They all started attacking him together and, despite standing on his own pretty well, Aton wasn't going to beat them all alone.

It was then that a jet of petals came knocking one guard around as Suya jumped into the action, followed by Master Viper who wrapped her body around one guard's arms to take control and make him smash his own comrades. Tanchi also arrived and shot jets of ice to temporally freeze the guards before knocking them down.

Unfortunately, more and more guards came to put some challenge four our heroes. It was then that Aicha suddenly jumped in the middle of the fight and started dancing. Soon, all the guards ceased to fight and looked at her as if hypnotized. Suya then gasped as she remembered that move: it was the same dancing technique she saw her counter use to hypnotize her opponents, during the Power Struggle Tournament.

As the guards gazed at her, the cheetah smirked before doing some moves with her paws and make two Arabian swords appear in each one of them. She used her new weapons to cut all the guards down until there wasn't one remaining.

"Thanks for the help, Aicha. I don'T think I could've took them all." He said with hugging his cheetah friend before turning to the other girls. "Thanks to you too for the help."

"What was that technique you just used? you danced and they all ceased to move." Tanchi said in excitation.

"Well, it's a special trick that I created myself and that consists to dance in a special way to attract someone. It works mostly on boys, but it can affects girls too." She admitted with a giggle.

"Can you teach it to us? It could actually be useful." Viper asked.

The cheetah putted a thumb on her chin and though about it. "Well, since we killed guards, we can't stay to the Oasis for very long. Plus, we need to go to the Alexandria Oasis to go recruit our army. Guess I could teach it to you on the way." She said with a smile.

"Let's go get ready to leave." Sewu said as she got back into the restaurant.

Later on, the group had packed up their things and putted them on Rat'jah's (the camel) back. Aicha, Aton and Tanchi hoped on his back too as Suya and Sewu decided to fly to their destination while Viper had no problem slithering across the sand.

As they were alone in the sky, Suya saw an opportunity to learn a bit more about Sewu and decided t0 fly next to her.

"So, Aton is your uncle?" She asked to which the falcon replied with a nod. "How is it possible? I mean, you're a falcon and he's a raven."

"It's because he was really close my family, even before I was born. When my parents left on a boat to go explore other countries and never came back, he decided to take me under his wings. This is why I see him more as a father than a simple uncle."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Suya said.

"It's okay."

Later on, as night fell upon the desert and the unbearable heat was replaced by a good cold, the group used wood to make a fire and installed a camp to spend the night. Aicha took Suya, Viper, and Tanchi away to teach them her technique.

"Alright, just try to follow my moves and memorize them." the cheetah said as she showed the three girls the moves as they did their best to follow...

Well, that's all for this chapter. I hope you're enjoying it so far :)
