Thru the Moebius Strip Page #3

Were you deaf to Shepway's teachings?

You are the chosen one. Ragis

The king who will lead us back into the light.

I will assume the throne four moons from now on my

18th birthday.

As custom dictates.

You won't live that long!

Shepway's last words to me were,

Seek your father's truth. What "truth"?

Do you know how your father died?

He and Tor were on a journey to the outer lands. He was

gored by a wild Espar.

Did you see your father's body?

No, only Shepway did.

Shepway told us what she saw.

There was one puncture wound through Akis' chest.

That's impossible.

Espar horns have a forked tip.

No! Only one. From Tor's sword!

You accuse King Tor of killing my father?!

His own brother?! I won't hear of it!

Dad?

What?

Alright...

Ahh...

Tell me how you came to Raphicca, alien.

Through a Moebius Field Portal.

You know, the theory of internal transfer loops, you take

a three dimensional cylindrical loop,

give it a 180 degree twist,

transform it into a two dimensional...

you are a spy for Tor.

Who?

Look, I'm trying to find someone.

His name is... Simon Weir.

Simon?

Yeah, you know him?

He is a mentor to Prince Ragis.

This uh... Prince Ragis

he's one of the good guys, right?

Of course.

Great! Just what I wanted to hear.

Simon Weir is my dad.

Cut him loose!

I've heard that the portal could bring me to other worlds...

I need your magic... Shepway must have taught you.

You see, Ragis? She refuses to help us.

Even though she helped those who betrayed us and her

people.

Maybe your little alien friend will convince you to help us.

No! Leave him alone!

This has nothing to do with Simon... Please, don't...

Proceed!

Stop! I will do it!

Give her the crystal.

So it is true.

Imagine the world that will bow before me!

With this portal, I can build an army greater than any in

the Galaxy.

Don't be too arrogant puny alien.

My forces wait my command

to enter your world

and make you our slaves.

How dare you talk to me like that...

Attack my minions.

Take her back to the dungeon.

I will be the greatest King Raffia has ever known!!

Ragis!? Ragis!?

Ragis!? Ragis!?

Did you see your father's body?

No, only Shepway did.

Shepway told us what she saw.

Puncture wounds. There was only one puncture wound

through Akis' chest.

That's impossible. Espar horns have a forked tip.

There would have been two puncture wounds.

No! Only one. From Tor's sword!

Noooo!!!!

This is an irresistible Raphiccan delicacy.

The brains of an Oda.

Oh, en, yeah It looks great, really.

But, uh... I'm allergic. Yeah, that's it, I'm allergic.

To any food product from the neck up, you know,

eyeballs, tongues, ears, and yes, I hate to say it, even

brains.

Too bad.

Look, Bodkus, I really appreciate the feast and

everything.

But what I really need is to find my dad.

Finding him isn't the problem. He resides at Tor's castle.

Great, Ah, let's go.

We were the loyal servants to the former ruler of our

kingdom, King Akis,

until his life was taken by the hand of his own brother...

Tor.

Uh huh, so I take it you and this Tor aren't exactly close.

We will never submit to the murderer Tor! He has defiled

the sacred teachings

Look, Look, I wish you all the best in your fight, I really.

But none of this has anything to do with my dad.

That is where you are wrong, my small friend.

Shepway taught you well.

What do you think you are doing?

Ragis!

Grab hold.

I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

Overcoming doubts will only strengthen you.

It rightfully belongs with you now.

Maybe we should think about getting out of here?

Oh... of course.

We might be able to escape through the rear entrance.

There are fewer guards posted there.

No, I have a plan. We must reach the upper balcony.

Upper balcony?

Trust me.

King tor, Ragis freed Allana and the alien!

Ah..., Sound the alarm!

I thought you had a plan!

Now would be a good time to let us in on it.

Follow me.

Follow you where?

Over the balcony.

What????

Told you I had a plan.

Is Simon all right?

We have to go back for Simon.

Tor has him by now.

Tor's army is almost at full strength.

He will launch an offensive against us at the conclusion

of the Festival of Light.

We must mobilize the rebel troops. I will gather the

warriors.

We cannot launch an attack against the castle.

It is too well fortified.

We must engage Tor right here, in our territory,

where we control the battlefield.

You display the heart of an Espar, just like your father.

It will be my honor to serve you, King Ragis.

Touching. While you're getting fitted for your crown,

maybe you can spare a few guys to help me save my

dad.

Simon taught us humanity's most cherished values...

He helped us to understand that by embracing those

values

we could defy Tor.

But Raphicca is not my home. Ok

or my father's.

He shouldn't have to die to save it.

If there is any way to rescue your father,

Ragis will find it. Nobody loves Simon more than Ragis.

Oh, Really?

I was only talking about Raphiccans, not Simon's human

family.

Who'm I kidding? My dad's been gone so long

I don't even know him anymore. You're more his family

now than I am.

Nothing could be further from the truth, Jac.

Simon missed you and your mother...

Save it! Just leave me alone, will you?

The young human needs a friend

Those were your fathers chambers... in case you were

wondering.

Well, I wasn't.

Jac, I am deeply sorry about your father.

Do you?! What would you know about it?

Too much, I'm sad to say.

I never even met my father. He died when I was quite

young.

From the moment Simon first arrived here,

all he could talk about was how to get back home.

Did my dad... ever talk about me?

Every day. He would say

hat joy would only come to him on the day he was

reunited with you and your mother.

He also believed in his heart that you and I would be fast

friends.

I told Simon that you could be the little brother I never

had.

Please help me save my dad, Ragis.

I promise, Jac.

But there is no way to penetrate the castle's defenses.

No way for a Raphiccan maybe. But Tor never thought

about keeping humans out.

What do you have in mind?

Need some help there, Arthur?

My back springs aren't as young as they used to be.

Ooh..., My energy pack is almost drained.

I'm going to attempt to rescue Simon from the castle.

That's a suicide mission!

That's a suicide mission!

This is something I must do for Simon. Jac has a plan. I

believe it would work.

So when do we leave?

Bodkus, I want you to stay with the troops.

But...

We cannot afford in danger both of our lives. If the need

rises, you would lead all over Raphiccan.

Go with a light, my king.

Ragis, I...

Bodkus would need your magic. I swear I will return.

Ragis!...Be safe.

I will

One hundred years ago,

my forefathers delivered our glorious kingdom back into

the Light,

after the Darkness had enveloped Raphicca for eons.

...All right!

But... Raphiccans! The son of Akis has betrayed you.
