Tired, exhausted and feeling less than her normal self. Sadowan wavered, her legs, crumpling beneath her, as to their horror she fell onto her knees?
The sight, of her, now on knees before Nach?!. She decided to ignore Chadren THIS would be televised across the Qiverse. She raised her fist to strike.
“ I wlll teach YOU a lesson for calling me a liar, a cheat! “ She turned to stare at the Globecast unit.
“Where she belongs. On her knees, before the might of the Kalheiron. Now I will mark you so that you NEVER forget that YOU challenged me, a Kalheiron?”
Hoki had moved. Within seconds she was resting on Sadowan’s shoulder? IF Nach had continued to strike at Sadowan it would have had her hitting Hoki?
“MOVE!” She screamed realizing to her fury that she could not hit, a tiny creature like this, whatever it was, would not look good in front of the Globecast broadcast.
Itche moved closer to her. “We need to leave. This is not good for us.” Ignoring her Nach shifted away from
Hoki and Sadowan, the rage in her eyes all too clear. She moved to twist, swing her fist, at Chadren, who, was now, attempting to help Sadowan to her feet?
Vulnerable and totally caught off guard? He was caught between her fist and holding onto Sadowan?
A grin across her lips; Nach struck out. It could be said that there was NO way Chadren, could stop her fist, from hitting him? 
Then it happened. Hoki shifted and, in a blink of an eye, she stood between the fist, now hammering down on him; striking Hoki?
Well it could be said, STRIKING HOKI!
But NO.
The flare of light, intense blinding light, flooding Hoki, bathing her within it, as the shock wave, struck Nach, leaving her shaking, screaming.
The pain was intense. All of the joints in her body felt as though they were on fire.
The ‘burn’ had her now on her knees.
Prostrated before Sadowan and of course Chadren.
Fixed to the spot and, almost paralysed; unable to move. Fear?
For a Kalheiron, that, was almost impossible, to imagine BUT, she was terrified.
HOW could this creature, this tiny, insignificant being, have so much power?
“I will release you. ALL will now bear witness to WHY, you, are accused, of cheating AND, YOUR punishment; will be delivered by those in charge here..”
Nach felt the pain, easing away as she stumbled back into Itche, still shaking. Hoki shifted to rest on Jaho shoulders. In front of them a screen lit up. A large clearly visible to all looking on. Including the Globecast unit?.
The race, played from start to finish AND, Kaila with Aqixi now present, as they, showed HOW, the Kalheiron, had cheated?! Clever, devious, might spring to mind. Cunning and well contrived.
As Sadowan, was seen, approaching the marker buoy? With the Kalheiron taking a dive?
To suddenly appear before her, taking first place? What had been spoken of earlier was clear.
IT was that DIVE from Nach? HOW could she suddenly appear at the buoy, so fast?
A sudden dart forwards, to end up there? Those into the ‘analysis’ were not convinced.
The other Kalheiron, had waved, whilst stood watching on, with others around it. The refusal, by Nach, for Itche, to take her place, re the final swim back; to the finishing line? Nothing was showing anything that could deny Nach the right to her victory?
One in the water, one on the bank. Turning to face the Globecast unit, Kaila AND those looking on.
“Sometimes, what, we are led to believe is a truth, is in fact a lie. Deception.
Like some magical trick, played out and most were momentarily distracted, by the swimmer, who needed rescuing? NOT every one was aware of the trick being played on our senses.
The Kalheiron, are well known, for NOT playing by the rules. Cheating, lying and in this instance, backed up by those. “ He paused to glance at the troublemakers.
“Three of our worst offenders. Ones, who take great delight, in the misfortune of others.
Ah therein, lies another truth. It could be said, that their part, in all of this, led us to realize the TRUTH.
Nach looked at Itche. “We will give you Kalheiron, one last chance, to confess.”
The voice of Aqixi?
One who had been unseen, in the water near the buoy?
Ignored as they screamed.
“We have NOT cheated. The win is OURS.” 
A movement, amongst those present. A gap forming, as a figure was led, through them, to now stand alongside Kaila.
The gasp from, those looking on was loud!
The shock revelation, indeed; revealed all.
“Yes you, entered the race as TWINS, but that was a LIE.
YOU are TRIPLETS! THREE of you!
This one, is the original one, who was at the start of the race, through to the marker buoy.
YOU, Nach, IF that is WHO you are, were already by the buoy watching as this one, dived.
Then appeared, to claim first place. No wonder, you could manage the return trip, ahead of Sadowan with ease. “
The screen now illuminated, the TWO Kalheiron shown.
IN THE water, by the marker buoy, with one of them, diving, to disappear below the water, heading over to a small cavern. Out of sight.
Collars? On all three of them, appeared COLLARS. In control, monitoring and communicating a message loud and clear. They were ordered to attend for judgement AND, punishment.
However much, they might, have wanted to continue their arrogance, the continuing denial by them, they had no choice, but to leave those present. Overhead there was an Opticon and, the transmission from it, controlling those collars?
As they disappeared in the distance, Sadowan was being held by Chadren softly whispering at her.
Delight, a pleasure at seeing the Kalheiron humiliated?
Chadren asked for Anibee, to take the prize back to her domicile. They would collect it later.
Sadowan was tired, VERY tired. Chadren picked her up surprising them at how strong he was.
“I, am taking her, back to her domicile, before resting.”
Those waiting for Ocasa were watching on amused.
“The Sprite, served its purpose well. They are an ancient race. Here before the Akademy ever existed.
Some will seek to question its right to be here. NO ONE from here is permitted to enter their lands
(The far away lands).
Likewise they are NOT allowed here. ITs parentia will not be pleased it chose to ignore the rules.
The Kalheiron trick was witnessed by it. IT saw the Kalheiron slip into the cavern and realized what had happened?
IT would not see the real winners deprived of their prize.”
Ocasa? He, was now, heading back, to the designated rendevous. Accompanied by Torvan and Becci.
Talking about recent events. A lot of satisfaction re the Kalheiorn being humiliated on a GALACTIC level.
They would receive punishment. That was a given.
Expulsion? Probably not. The punishment was worse by keeping them amongst those they looked down on? Daily being taunted and, feeling the rage, the inner fury of having been revealed for who they were.
Liars, cheats. Their Parentia? Would not be punishing them.
The revelation of what they had done was admired, by many of their own. 
If Lixii Zetian and Xixi of the ‘Matsupa’; had questionable morals, they went beyond that AND that? was a hard act as some might
say ‘to follow’.
Act.. ah yes, now there lies a sentiment, re the forthcoming Qiverse ‘Galaxy’ concert.’.
As Ajui settling back to strum some chords?
The newly formed ‘Band’ were coming together ready for the main event.
Their talents were already being recognised as some of the best if not BETTER than the original band or backing group?
The chosen arena was massive. The wall to wall video screens were using new adaptive fusive reactors.
Powering the lighting AND special effects that were jaw dropping. The celestials, forming the ‘backing dancers’ AND singers, were NOT dressed up BUT looked stunning.
The males, over twenty of them with their two special star attractions, had the females here hooked.
IF Suzie was the one who they had wanted to see. above all others’
The entire show would leave none in any doubts as to the spectacular fest that was about to take place.
