Chapter 47

"So guys, what did you discuss about?" John said

All of them were now at the bridge again, only except the girls.

"Where are your mates leader?" Ikit said, didging the issue

"They are busy with preparations for departure, since repairs for the ship is almost complete. Though I would appreciate it if you dont dodge the question." John said

"Haha.. ok then." Ikit said with a bit of laugh. "When we got to the council, the arach and the octoguy wasnt there anymore. Although that may be the case, there is good news and bad news." Ikit said as the alien leaders cant look at john in the eyes

"Hahh.. lay it all to me then." John said, rubbing his temple

"We finally agreed on who may be leading each race, but the condition to being the leader is a contest." Hormus said

"For the avians, its a contest of speed and intelligence." Pixie said

"For the reptilians, its a match on whoever is the better fighter." Ikit said

"For the fishmen, its a contest of which is the better business person." Anut said

"Oh boy, this is gonna be a hard one." John said

"The contest has always been a tradition for the council, as they say." Hormus said

"And? What should us humans do?" Troy said

"Nothing. This is now a matter of our races. Although we would appreciate with any advice that you can give us." Anut said

"How about settling this with the old triathalon way? But we will decide on what the content of the course will be." John said

"A triathalon again? Though it does seem like a good way." Hormus said, thinking

"As expected of the wise sage, what are your thoughts on the contents of the race?" Troy said as john smiles

After that, the alien leaders proposed the idea to the council and got an approval for the contest. After a few more hours, they were all ready for the race.

"Welcome everyone! To the race on who will become the next council leaders! This race came from the wisdom of johnny storm, a human, who is considered a wise sage! And so, we have 3 laps! Which the course is takes us around the planet! The first course is for the avians! Who will race 1 lap around the planet, towards back here, and on a straight line! Which means also evading all obstacles such as mountains and stuff, while carrying an avian egg! And the next 2 laps will be for the reptilians! Where they will have to climb a mountain! Before passing through the last trial, which is to fight against their best fighters in close combat! To get through and to get the egg back to their mother!" A fishman MC said on stage while the whole track was presented at their virtual brain implants.

All the aliens were now at the city center, where there was more space to do the event. Meanwhile, as the MC was introducing the contestants, john and the humans were watching back at the hercules ship.

"Wow john, you mean you hatched this idea on the spot?" Aya said

John, his family, and the girls, were now at the mansion somewhere on the vast ship. Where they were currently watching the race, while all of them were sitting on the couch and some chairs.

"Nope, we all discussed on how to proceed with each part of the race, though I was the one who suggested about the triathalon." John said

"Wow! Thats great bro! Though if we didnt agree on leaving earth, we wouldnt be enjoying all this with you." Jasmin

"Yeah, I agree." Tod said as angel agrees

"Who do you think will win in the end?" Angel said

"It will now depend on their will and abilities. Whats important though is to protect the egg, which represents their responsibilities and duty to their people." Alex said as john and the girls agree

"If only this can be broadcasted also back home." Angel said

"We are currently recording it, so that the file can be sent back to earth, for the others to view." Claire said

"I also just hope nothing goes wrong in this race." Tod said

Back to the race, as they were finished with introductions and stuff, they were now ready to get the race started.

"Get ready!.. 3.. 2.. 1.. go!" The fishman MC said, signaling the start of the race

With that, pixie and the other avian raced around the planet in a straight line, where they avoided every flying vehicles along the way. As the egg was strapped around the chest, which the egg was like a medium sized ostrich egg, which made flying even faster a bit difficult for both avians. Then as they exit the city, they also come across some mountains, where they have to either go over it or go around it. Pixie chooses to go over it, while the other chooses to go around it. Luckily, pixie was a bit faster, as the mountain top wasnt that high. Though as one part of the planet has many mountains, they would have to go through many mountains just to pass through, plus pixie has the disadvantage of not knowing the terrain that well. Then after some time of crossing the mountains, they would now cross over an ocean, where there are also some sea creatures which jumps from the water to catch their prey. Luckily, pixie was also able to dodge them, even though the creatures jump really high. Until they were able to get past the ocean, where it was smooth sailing after that, as they get past more cities on land. Then they got back towards the center of the main city, where ikit and the other reptilian was waiting, both arrived equally.

And like passing the baton, pixie passes the egg carefully to ikit, who has a bag which can be pastened around his body whether it may be front or side. After having the egg fastened, they then rode a tamed creature which is like a small dinasaur, towards the mountains where they will have to climb or walk the mountain trail. As reptilians are specialized in climbing on walls, both chose to climb the mountain and had the egg to their side. Then after a while of climbing the mountain, they both reached the mountain top, where 2 fighters are on separate fields waiting for them. And as they pick their weapon of choice, where the rule states that they must unarm or defeat their opponent as fast as possible, the fight started with a signal from the referee. Then with an intense battle, where the opponent is aiming to destroy the egg, ikit was able to land a close victory against the opponent by defeating him. Where the other reptilian has his egg broken in the end.

"Winner, ikit! And goes without saying, pixie also won the race!" The fishman MC said, where she was also present at the fight

After that, they all went back towards the city center, where all the people was celebrating upon their return.

"Oh!! Thank you so much for protecting my egg!" Said the mother of the egg that ikit protected

"I guess you guys won in this event. As promised, we will hand over our positions to you." The reptilian said as the crowd cheers for them

After that, a banquet was held at the center where it was now the fishmens turn for the contest, on whoever gets the most sales wins. As the other fishman was selling some local food, anut was selling some ramen crepe based delicacy, which was new to them. Where the victor later goes to anut, for the variety of creps they have, which was also a best seller for females.
