Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock....

On the deck of her royal barge, Euphemia Li Britannia, the beautiful teenage crown princess of the Britannian Empire, froze when she heard this sound. Her blue eyes widened and twitched along with the sound as she slowly turned to look at the water below the barge. The instant she saw the enormous crocodile emerge and step onto a rock jutting out of the water, Euphemia jumped back and screamed at the top of her lungs.



The crocodile looked up at Euphemia and grinned. He'd gotten a small taste of the princess once off the coast of Kamine Island, and it was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted. From that day on, he'd relentlessly stalked her royal barge in hopes of getting a chance to devour her. Winking at the terrified girl, the crocodile began rubbing his belly and licking his chops with his salivating tongue, making his intentions toward her as clear as possible. The sight of this so frightened Euphemia that her eyes welled up with tears as she shrieked "SUZAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! H-HE'S COME TO GET MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

Knowing how hysterically frightened Euphemia was by the crocodile and the prospect of being eaten by him, Suzaku ran to the deck and began shouting at the beast to go away and leave the princess alone. Frowning dejectedly, the crocodile complied, slinking back into the water and swimming away. Euphemia then collapsed to her knees, any thought of royal dignity forgotten, shaking and sobbing as her knight consoled her.

Euphemia was deeply regretting her rash decision to commandeer a Knightmare unit and help in the battle against the Black Knights. She had been easily tricked into following Kallen Kozuki in her Knightmare, who then did a U-turn and shot the princess down from behind when they were above the ocean. Euphemia's Knightmare crashed onto a narrow cliff ledge, with its pilot toppling out of its open hatch. With a shriek, Euphemia clung to the machine's limp arm with all her might as she precariously hung several dozen feet above the water.

Kallen clicked her tongue in mock disappointment as she spoke through the mic in her Knightmare. "Well, well! Lookie here! It's a pitiful doll princess who can't do anything on her own!"

Tears of anger, frustration and humiliation welled up in Euphemia's eyes and began streaming down her cheeks. How could this get any worse?

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...

A wide, devious grin spread across Kallen's face. "I say, Euphie!" she remarked, "Do you hear something?"

"No!" Euphemia gasped, her eyes widening as her body began to quiver instictively. Glancing down at the water, the princess gave a frightened jerk as she shouted "NO!" Sure enough, it was the crocodile, who looked absolutely delighted to see Euphemia dangling and wriggling above him like a juicy piece of bait. Without hesitation, he jumped upward, jaws open wide and ready to chomp down on her.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Euphemia screamed.

SNAP! The crocodile's jaws bit down on the hem of Euphemia's white royal dress and tore it clean off. Kallen's hands covered her mouth as a wild peal of laughter began spilling out from it, which only increased when she saw the crocodile chew the fancy fabric up, loudly smacking his lips in the process while continuing to gaze up at Euphemia, before swallowing it with a gulp. The crocodile began licking his chops in satisfaction, as the clothing had Euphemia's taste on it, which was just as delicious as he rememberd it being!

Unable to resist, Kallen playfully called out "Oh Mr. Crocodile...do you like doll princesses?"

Hearing this, the crocodile began nodding his head excitedly in response. "You DO?" Kallen said in a giddy tone.

"KALLEN, NO!" Euphemia shrieked, shaking her head frantically.
