Thank you. I have some other Alyson pictures if you would be interested in having them sometime. I would change my avatar to them sometime, but I can't seem to figure it out.

BC looks from the Agent to the Prof. The others slowly moving in to stop him from making a wrong move. She sees LL come up from behind with his gun, he jams it onto the Agents back.

"She has to be put back into the chair for this to work." With this move Frun attempts to turn around and aim one of his guns at him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The look on his face changing from calm to stern. "Put them away before you do something you will regret."

Frun looks back to abb and then looks at BC. "You can't do that to her. Remember the pain she suffered. It's not worth it!" Keeping the guns steady at abb he tells LL to back off but the gun remains at his back.

"If we are to survive this ourselves, then she needs to do this. It's the only way. Be reasonable man. It's the only way." abb motions to the Demon Knight. "Get her up there and get the book ready."

The Demon Knight goes to grab for BC but she is too quick. She raises her gun to him. "I will not be going to be put back in that chair." She turns her head slightly and looks towards Frun and LL. "You can put that rifle down or you too will be looking down the barrel of mine. If you cant tell, mine is bigger." A hush went around the room then. scrape approached Frun and placing her hands on his, lowered his weapons.

"You can't stop me with that thing, little girl. Now stop all this right now and hand me the gun." He keeps his approach on her. Each step more menacing than the last. His voice a low growl. "Give me the gun."

Who steps in front of BC and grabs for the weapon. BC pulls the weapon back. "Oh, I dont think so." The two of them glare at each other.

"It's the only way. You heard abb." She grabs for the gun again. "Give it to him and let's get this show on ther road."

BC turns and faces the others. She looks at abb and then back at Who. "Ok, I see how it's going to be." She hands the weapon over to her. Dedfiant now she glares at grinner. "You will get yours if something happens to me." She turns back to the others. Kat walks over to LL and has him lower his gun from the agents back. scrape and Frun start walking towards the Demon Knight. An angered look still present on the agents face.

"Nothing, and I mean nothing better happen to her." scrape pulls him back.

"We all need to stop this if we are to fight what ever we are about to face. We need to be a team. We cant be at each others throats." She walks over to BC. "We need you to do this. You are the only one. You are the 'key' remember?"

"I said I would do it. I need to do something first." With that she turns and heads up the stairs. She can hear the others talking to each other as they followed behind. She stops at the first landing and goes to the right. Down the hall she remembers the room she was once in. Opening the door she expects to be greeted by the sounds of the puppies. Silence awaits her instead. She looks around. Nothing.

Running back down the hall and catching up to the others going up to the next floor, she stops abb. "Where the hell are they?"

[scrape_medic]

excellent post BC Bravo...

[scrape_medic]

"They are not just puppies BC, they are pure energy, and by that I mean pure as in innocent. They were meant for this, born for this,"

"But where are they?" she cried

"Waiting in the scrying room, for their destiny......our destiny, for it depends on them."

Abb held her by the shoulders until she was calmed some. "We must go now BC," he said soothingly, "all our destinies await us."

BC understood this, she knew what she had to do, her part in all this. It did not make it any easier, and she wanted it to be any other way than this, but life was not that kind. She looked at Frun for reassurance, and though he was not at all happy about plan A, or any plan that involved putting BC through the chair again, even he had to admit that though it wasn't much, it was the only plan they had!

He nodded at her, "It'll be alright."

grinner turned and started towards the Scrying room, muttering that enough time had been wasted. Abb led BC carefully down the corridor and the others, one by one began to follow.

As Frun went to pass Scrape, she stopped him. Getting in close, she quietly whispered to his ear, "You ever point a gun at Abb again, I'll shoot you myself"

Frun understood that she would too, "I'd expect you to." he then continued, "Scrapes, remember who you are, don't get too attached to anyone." with a stern look on his face.

"What like, you not wanting to see BC go in the chair........I'll just follow your lead on that one should I?"

He looked at his fellow agent, his face calm and expressionless; then he snorted into a smile, "Yeah! Strange times!"

Scrape looked away, they were indeed strange times, troubling times and Frun was right about not getting attachments at a time like this. Maybe it was too late for her, but she had tried to bury that emotion. Looking back at Frun she wanted to say something like, "If we don't survive this......." and some nonsense about the end of the world, but the words just seemed pointless, and the look on Fruns face showed he understood it anyway.

"You could do worse," he said with the most genuine of smiles scrape had ever seen on that scarred and hardened face.

"Yeah." she knew it too.

"So, lets get in there scrapes!" he started happily, "before all the fun starts without us, we've got some demons to slaughter!" and with a visible bounce in his stride he left her to follow the others. Scrape took a moment longer to steel herself, turned then followed him.

In the scrying room, BC was already near the chair, looking at it with apprehension and remembering the last time she was in it. Three of the old gentlemen of the mansion had also entered the room, one carrying the box with the book inside, the others waitng to help BC into the chair.

grinner and Who stood near the entrance to the portal whilst LL had his gun, cocked and aimed at the entrance ready for the first wave. Kathleen was next to BC comforting her and making sure that this really was her choice.

"Okay!" boomed Frun, "lets get this started."

BC climbed into the chair and was strapped down by the old men. Frun tensed himself ready for all the screaming to start, whilst Kathleen stayed close to the chair, where she could keep a good eye on her friend, ready at any point to cut her free should she need to.

Abb flashed a look at Scrape and then at Who, whose back was turned towards them both as she waited with grinner for the word to jump. Scrape moved up close to the assasin, tapped her on the shoulder and beckoned her to one side. "You're gonna do the right thing in there aren't ya?" thinking quickly of a way to distract the woman for a few moments, "I'm not sure that I can trust you yet, we've dance around after each other for a while now, back at the island and all........I know that you can fight and have the wherewithall to pull this off.........I just need to know what your intentions are."

Who looked at her a litte offended, had she not already made it clear to them all that she was here to fight with them. "You have no choice but to trust me, you couldn't change anything now either way."

Scrape appreciated the honest answer, knowing that anything else would not have convinced her so easily. She held out her hand to shake with Who, but Who for some reason did not reciprocate the gesture, instead looked at Scrapes hand with puzzlement. "We shake hands, its for good luck," Scrape informed, "its a human thing."

With comprehension now, Who took scrapes hand and shook it vigourously, making Scrape laugh. "With a bit of work we could make a human out of you yet." Who did not fully understand the humour, but smiled anyway.

Whilst this exchange had been going on, Abb had approached grinner. "There's just one more thing before you go."

"What now?" replied grinner with his usual irritation.

"Something we need to do for you......to you........"

grinner looked at the professor with confusion, "What?"

"Change you.......blend you......with they."

With disbelief grinner screamed at the professor, "you want to make me one of them?!"

Behind Abb the orb began to glow, BC, in the chair now floating above the pyramid, began to murmer.

"Not make you one of them, absorb a part of them.....to give you an advantage. Their DNA produces a protein that allows the mitocondria to produce energy more efficiently than what would be normal in your race, we can blend your DNA with the codon from theirs that would enable this. We know we need to do this but we never figured out quite why.....strange that"

Scrape flashed him the look that said 'short version prof!'

"It will give you extra strength, not much, just a few percent, but............you may need it" explained Abb.

"Whose plan was this? I don't remember seeing it in the files the Doctor left?" grinner snarled.

"Its always been in the plan, you were never to know it, not til this last attempt." Abb steadfastly looked at the disbelieving Demon Knight.

The room was now filling with noises, a mixture of whooshes and creeks and BC murmers turning to screams and cries for help. Scrape still holding onto Who's hand used it to pull her further away from grinner and the entrance to the portal. The book had been taken out of the box and was being held up to the orb by one of the old men. He opened it to a marked page and began to speak words, words that he had learnt by heart, not needing to read them from the page before him.

"More genetic engineering," grinner exasperated, it would seem his whole existance has been as a laboratory rat, and this was the last final insult to him, "And what if I refuse."

LL and Frun stepped as far back into the room as they could, both with weapons drawn and ready to fire, aiming in the general direction of the portal mouth, but ready to change target aquisition at a moments notice.

"You cant old boy, its too late" and with that Abb stepped quickly away from grinner.

And with a piercing sound, a bolt of lightening emited from the orb heading straight towards the open mouth of the portal, passing straight through the chest of grinner as it did.

He screamed in agony, Who tried to break free of scrapes grip to go to his aid, but being held firm looked at the SAS agent who only shook her head.

His screams drowned out the ones emiting from BC, and those with free hands used them to cover their own ears. grinner writhed in pain, his body wracked into spasms as the energy continued to pass through him, drawing from the portal the essence of they and blending it into the DNA of the Demon Knight. Scrape unable to cover her ears thought that he was trying to utter something, but would not make out what it was. Who pulled against her, but Scrape held on as hard as she could.

Then, without warning, the light stopped, grinner slumped to the floor with a loud thump. Scrape released Who's hand and the assasin ran to grinner's body. "What have you done to him?" she seethed as she turned him over. Scrape and Abb approached more cautiously, Scrape kneeled down next to him and checked for signs of life. Then using her knuckles she rubbed grinner in the area where the collar bones met vigourously. "Get up grinner, you're not dead yet"

He jumped up so quickly that it caught Scrapes off guard and with one hand he grabbed her round the neck and held her up against the nearest wall. She pulled at his hands but could not pry them loose. She could see Frun and LL closing the distance, weapons trained on grinners head, and Abb's face was a picture right now, as she looked at him imploringly for help.

"grinner, put her down," said Abb calmly. 'Oh yeah like that's gonna help!' she thought, wondering if she could reach her teaspoon from here.

"Now!" yelled Frun.

'Hmm, more like it', nope she couldn't get the teaspoon, she could try kicking him somewere a little more vulnerable she mused. She could see the trigger finger tighten on LL's rifle, and just hoped that the bullet would not richochet around grinner head so much as to exit in her direction.

Again she looked at Abb, 'hell' she thought, 'dying at the hand of a demon was one way she invisioned her demise, but dying at the hand of a Demon knight was a whole different story 'and like this!' She held Abb's eyes in her sight as he pushed Who forward toward grinner.

"grinner" Who uttered calmly, placing a hand cautiously on his outstretched arm.

Scrape could feel the grip on her throat ease and air begin to flow down her throat again. grinners face went from ravaged anger, to an slightly disturbing smile as he slid the SAS agent down the wall,leaving her to drop to the floor. He turned to to Abb "You were right not to warn me professor," and then easing his body down a little, "but I can sense the strength now, better than before," and with out looking round he offered his hand down to Scrape and pulled her up. LL, the nearest to her, moved in and supported her as she moved away to recover.

Who then turned to grinner, "They are closer than we think, we must go now."

BC screams of pain had eased a little following the lightning bolt, now began to increased in volume again once more as the portal entrance began to glow brighter.

Kathleen carefully picked up the box with the puppies in and with a few last soothing sounds handed them to Who, only dropping her hold on the box as Who turned to face the portal.

Abb took hold of Scrape releasing LL to set himself ready for whatever would come through the portal when grinner and Who had made the jump, moving her away from the portal till she had fully recovered. Crouching on the floor she drew the sword that she had picked up at the armoury. Frun with both Berettas drawn out in front stood poised facing the centre of the hole, wating for the first clear view of something to shoot at. Kathleen returned to her position near BC and pulled up the gun she had rebuilt, and behind her the three old men began to chant from the book.

The noise in the room reaching a crescendo, grinner became a man wracked in concentration, focusing his thoughts on the destination he was heading for. Then suddenly the light from the portal extended outwards and enveloped both Who and himself. When it receeded, they were gone.

BC's yells became quieter once more, but before any one could release her from the chair, a noise from the portal drew everyones attention. For a few moments, not a breath was taken by anyone in the room, eyes widened as they looked in the direction of the noise. Then the first one came through.
