SCENE 8

The two kings soon came upon a large castle in the middle of the field. They walked around it but couldn't find a way inside. Getting bored Zoisite looked up and saw a figure staring down at them. "Hey, you!" He shouted.

The man cocked his head. "Allo! Who is zis?"

"I am King Kunzite, and this is my companion, Zoisite. Who's castle is this?"

"This is the castle of my master, Guido Wommer!"

"Go and tell your master that we have been charged by our great Empress Metallia with a sacred quest. As a result he is required to give us food and shelter for the night in order to aide us in our quest for the Holy Cape." Zoisite shouted up.

"Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen... Uh, he's already got one, you see?"

Kunzite blinked. "What?"

"He says they've already got one!" Zoisite whispered to him.

"Are you sure he's got one?" Kunzite shouted up to the man.

"Oh, yes, it's very nice" The man assure. He leaned over and whispered something that sounded like (I told him we already got one) to a hidden man. Various snickers floated down to the two waiting kings.

"Well, um, can we come up and have a look?" Kunzite asked.

"Of course not! You are Dark Kingdom types!"

"Well, what are you then?" Zoisite snapped.

"I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king!"

"What are you doing in the Dark Kingdom?" Zoisite countered.

"Mind your own business!"

"If you will not show us the Cape, we shall take your castle by force!" Kunzite threatened.

"You don't frighten us, Dark Kingdom pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Kunzite-king, you and all your silly Dark Kingdom kaniggets. Thppppt!

"What a strange person." Zoisite muttered.

"Now look here. . ." Kunzite demanded.

"I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction! You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

"Are you sure you don't want to rethink that?" Zoisite snarled as he formed a large icicle.

"No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time-a!"

"Now, this is your last chance. I've been more than reasonable." Kunzite yelled, his demeanor turning cold.

From above they could hear the man speaking to someone.

"Fetch-e la vache."

"wha?"

"Fetch-e la vache!"

"moo!"

"If you do not agree to my commands, then I shall-- " Kunzite started. There came a loud TWONG sound and a cow came flying towards them. The two kings easily dodged the flying animal. "That's it! Attack!" He shouted.

More animals came flying over the wall and the two kings began their attack.

"Ah, this one is for your mother!" The man shouted as a pig nearly clipped Zoisite.

"Kunzy-dear. I really think this would be a good time to retreat!"

"I'm afraid I must agree!"

The two run for a nearby hill where, to their surprise they are met by Bedevere and a few other youma.

"Where did you come from?" Kunzite asked as he stared at the creatures,

"Oh, I have a most excellent theory about that. . ."

"Never mind." Zoisite said hurriedly.

"May I inquire as to what you are doing?" The youma asked.

"We need to get into that castle. They may have something we need." Kunzite replied off handedly.

"Sir! I have a plan, sir!" Bedevere cried out and ran off into the forest with the other youma before either king could stop him.

"Well this aught to be good." Zoisite said sarcastically as he played with his dress hem.

A few hours later the youma reappear pushing a huge wooden bunny rabbit. They shove it up to the castle doors and run back to the hill to hide. From their hiding place the group watched as the guards of the castle opened the door and peered out at the bunny.

"ce labon a bunny do wha?"

"un codoo?"

"a present!"

"oh, un codoo."

"oui oui hurry!"

"wha-?"

"let's go!"

The guards push the wooden contraption into the castle and look the doors behind them.

"So what happens now?" Zoisite asked.

"Well, now, uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I, wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the French by surprise -- not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!" Bedevere said excitedly pointing to his fellow youma.

"Who leaps out?" Kunzite asked, almost fearing the answer.

"Uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I. Uh, leap out of the rabbit, uh and uh...."

Zoisite shook his head.

"Oh.... Um, l-look, if we built this large wooden badger--"

A TWONG interrupted his thought and all looked up in horror as the huge wooden bunny came flying their way.

"Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away!" The youma screamed as they all dove for the forest.

In the center of a bush Zoisite glared down at his lover. "You know, Kunzito-sama, I don't think they have the Cape. And if they did, would it really be worth all this trouble?"

"You're right. Come on, let's go before these miserable creatures regroup."
