The Fish Queen’ s battle was momentarily intervened by Xena. At Pi’ re activation of her special plane locking both Xena and Polly in a separate plane of existence, now only she and Reptile King are left to combat each other. “ So it seems… the odds have been granted to a one on one.”



Fish Queen  jumps– and prepares for a headlong clash..

And in the meantime, Polly is brought to face the maddened UltimasaurMamono. Before she could tear into the Queen, she uses her weapon. A blast of sound erupts and pushes her back before Polly slams repeatedly at her. This of course, was at no reasonable effect.

“ Dear Xena…. I wish not to harm you in the overall. But if push comes to shove, I’ ll have to teach you a thorough lesson!”

She attacks- and Xena does the same.

<p class="MsoNormal">(Sorry Rep! Cire! We can<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t spoil what happens there!)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Elloise grabs for Kenzie<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s hand and places it to the Blaster<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s chest. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ If you push yourself again, you will blow up. And in that recourse, you won<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t tear a hole on your enemies, but on those who care for you. Remember that. Adelle?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">The Hobgoblin Adelle lets Micah state her explanation to Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej. The ruler of Obsidian City listened with open ears. He was attentive. He simply stood and listened. Just as the Large Mouse finished, there was an abrupt burst of laughter from the tall figure staring by the window.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s eyes stalk towards the figure. It was a guy with ivory-white short hair, topped with a golden crown, wearing a fancy swallowtail suit of blue and violet, still staring at the underwater-edNeOz. He was a guy curved to a point he was like a crossdresser. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Lord Vasti. I pray you have something amenable to say regarding that.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Naturally.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">The guy-girl <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">– or girl-guy whoever it was, walked carefully towards Micah and snatched the map with the inhibitor marks before Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ ej could get it. He stares at the paper and tosses it to Le'ejsoon after.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Basically put, the cards weren<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t at your favor because when you made an easy solution, they had an even higher ace prepared against you all. The way I see it, they were simply<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… waiting for you to make your move and see how much of a resistance you can prove to be, against them.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">He explains it in such an irritable, yet truthful approach. It was infuriating.

<p class="MsoNormal">Heiki, now seeing the danger had passed, drops Cur-chan to allow her return to Mamono form. Something about her didn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t seem to add up..

<p class="MsoNormal">(Isaac, sorry, really. I just caught up on the fact she looks like Haia. You handle her. Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej knows only the name, but you take control of who she is and why she<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s there.)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">(Oh, if you<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ re a Titan, Nexus, then I have the perfect plan with you..mewhehehehehe. Damn, I<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ m starting to laugh like my wife.)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The argument posed by Nexus in three-fold manner was<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… effective. He got all the Queens of Oz to listen. They were now in rapt attention to this man that although, had only been met this very time at the battlefield<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">… was already a cherished ally.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel: Well said..Nexus. (Lin and Sebyl grin at the same thought. Ersha pauses and looks at the crestfallen Nunnally, her closest pal who was now sinking in anger at Ozma....)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Well<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… the dark horse speaks.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” The one named Lord Vasti speaks. He encircles Nexus and puts a finger under the man<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ s chin. To this, Nexus<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s head swirled in confusion. Why is it that even though he<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s a guy, there<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s Demonic Energy charming him to the person?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ To join us in these circumstances<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… .. is it really the will of your brother that bought you here? You say that you are merely of help<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… but in all honest sense<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… what bought your brother here to Oz in the first place? Is it because he sees JeielYozama<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ s case as pitiable beyond reasonable doubt?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” She pins her eyes at Silent and Sky. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ ..and I assume that you two, think the same as well? Along with your maddened senior who is not with us, at present?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Now you<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ re just plain insulting Honey. Who do you think you are?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Ersha replies in a sarcastic manner. Vasti stands and makes a profound bow at the Grizzly. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ VastimosaAbbrevant. The Whiz of Oz<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ s Realm Inspector. Your traitor-ette<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s 3rd cousin.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel nearly slips from his chair.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Ozma--- doesn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ t have a third cousin. I thought it was only Langwidere and Ix..<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Well, surprise.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He beams at the blind Jeiel. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I exist, sonny. And must I say, JeielYozama<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">… you are so weak and defenseless right now. I wonder if someone can usurp Oz from your hands at this given moment --<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Lord VASTI.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">At a single word from Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej, Vasti decided not to pursue the argument and walked back to the window where he gazed at Oz.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Repter and Ayu return from the mind-warp. As the Inari prostrates in front of Jeiel, the man merely shakes his head and feels her hands. He pulls her up. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ No, I..don<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t want that. Repter..please. (allows the man to assist Ayu to her feet) Now<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… did you say that the weapons are the ones controlling the inhabitants of Lyonesse Lemur?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Ojo: That probably means, if we manage to destroy the weapons, those Mamonos will be freed of manipulation. Of course! (strikes palm with her curled fist) That<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s why they weren<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t themselves!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej turned, his cloak fluttering as his motion indicated him moving towards Jeiel<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s way. <span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Those weapons<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">… are just the precipice of this entire conspiracy, Inari Ayu.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">” He walks, gilded rings and ornaments shaking from his heavy hands. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ Yes. It is true that you were taken into the fold by the Queen because you are an expert strategist<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… but your village wasn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t wiped out. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ His eyes leer in hallowed reveal of the truth.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“… you were made to believe it that way.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel stands all of the sudden. <span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Wh-what are you saying?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ The individuals joining this war<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… have their minds at the behest of something far beyond your normal reach. It is either they have lost all recognition of themselves, or they are simply, forgetting. They recall things of random thought like they<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ re telling a story. Ozma is no different. (Eyes Jeiel) What did she tell you, then?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Everyone<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s eyes are directed to JeielYozama. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ The<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… Fish Queen is<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">…. her mother<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… ..<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej: Exactly as she say it.

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej is soon in front of Jeiel,eliciting a glare from Sebyl who is holding Jeiel<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s hand firmly. She was pulling herself not to lash at the Jeiel-copy.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ The way I see it, there are three choices. She is lying. She is made to think she is. Or<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…… .. she<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s telling the truth.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel grips hard at the edge of his seat. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ H<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… how are you sure of all of this?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej looks at the shard of a mirror in his hand and casts it aside. The mirror fades into the floor, as if melding with the castle itself. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ The mirrors told me. As if reflects on everyone that exists in Emerald City..<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">He hits the table with a closed fist.
