With everyone on Altea it was both festive and problematic. The guys chatted amongst themselves and the ladies were cruising the Altean halls while chatting without the children around to bug them, they left children at home, Bandor, Allura, and Romelle were somewhere else in the palace. Sendak tagged along, Dayak and Cressida stayed on Daibazaal with the children.

It was nice for them to laughs and talk together but Elara sensed something ominous. Gnedra being Galran sensed the same thing. The two silenced Melenor and Trigel a listened closely.

"Do you hear that?" Elara asked.

"I do." Gnedra said.

"What's wrong?" Melenor asked.

"I heard somebody wielding a crossbow of some sort." Elara said, looking around.

As if on cue, the ladies were all darted at the same time.

"What the... Hell?" Trigel asked and then collapsed.

"Oh dear..." Melenor gasped and then also collapsed.

The next two being Elara and Gnedra fell unconscious as well. After some minutes an Altean found the four ladies unconscious in the middle of the hall and immediately alerted Alfor. The invaders of the Altean Palace were Lambonite scavengers. Zarkon, Alfor, Gyrgan, and Blaytz already dealt with them. After being told of the ladies being unconscious their significant others immediately ran over to where they were.

"What the hell?" Blaytz gasped, finding a dart I'm Gnedra's shoulder.

"All of them have darts on them." Sendak said.

"Well remove them we don't know what's in them!" Alfor said.

Once the darts were taken out, Altean doctors came to check on them. They said that all of them would be fine It would just need some time to wake up. After about an hour and a half they all woke up at the same time.

"Are you alright?" Zarkon asked Elara was she regained full consciousness. Her response doused dread onto him.

"Who are you?"
