Fire and Lightning, Life and Death

Disclaimers: Everyone is their respective selves.

Rating: PG-13 for Jami's potty-mouth

Summary: While watching Van Helsing one night, a strange light engulfs Jenn and Jami. They find themselves in Vaseria, and it's night—not­ the best time to be out. Can they make it through the night, and possibly longer? Or will they be destroyed? More importantly, can the other characters withstand their weirdness and Jami's potty-mouth?

It was a dark, stormy night...which was why Jenn and Jami were thankful to be in Jami's family room with pizza, popcorn, and lots of pop. The previous night, Jami had rented "Van Helsing", a movie that was their favorite. Hey, Hugh Jackman was hot, Richard Roxburgh in Dracula costume was hot, and David Wenham's character was hilarious. What more could anybody want? "All right, one last run through, Jenn. Pizza?"

"Check." There was a giant pizza on the coffee table, fresh from Pizza Hut.

"Popcorn?"

"Check." The popcorn was on the pizza.

"Sour Cream & Onion Pringles?"

"Check." The Pringles were also on the pizza.

"Caffeine?"

"Double check." There was a cooler with 8 cans of Dr. Pepper & Cherry Coke in it.

"All right, it's time for hot guys, something that flies, and Carl. Ready?"

"Let's do it." The button was pressed, the surround sound was turned up, and the insanity level was way above the recommended level.

About halfway through the movie, something strange happened. "Hey, Jami?"

"Yeah?"

"Do your lights usually get brighter at random times?"

"No...this is way different. They usually brighten and then go back to normal, but that's because of the sump pump..." It was then that the lights were too bright for the girls to keep their eyes open. They were soon deaf as well, and then...they fell.

As they landed catlike on the ground, they took in where they were: a dark forest, a cold place, and darkness. "All right, this doesn't happen every day."

"Wonder why it happened to us?"

"Possibly a space-time continuem thingy, having to do with the right time, the right people, and the right coordinates. I dunno, it's got some sort of formula that I understand but can't remember."

"...Stupid smart math people, grumbled the boyish girl.

"Awwww, I love you too." The more feminine of the two looked at her outfit. "At least our bodies and clothes are nice." It was true. They had the bodies of Olympic champions and shiny rubber clothing. "You feel something warm inside of you?"

"No, I feel something...crackly."

" 'Crackly'?"

"Yes, crackly. What, something wrong with that?"

They found out their powers (fire, electricitylightningreally sweet karate moves, and an adamantium/silver power.) within a few minutes, yet were no closer to finding out where they were.

"Sooooooooooooooooo...got any idea where we are, Jami?"

"Yeeeeeaaaaaaanope. No clue."

They both sighed.

"Know the time?"

"Nope. Wanna try walking around to find out where we are?"

"All right. You go that way," Jenn pointed to the darker part, "and I'll go this way." She pointed to the nicer looking part.

"How 'bout let's not and say we did?" The female Kraven raised an eyebrow at the middle Danko, who just laughed at the expression.

"All right, fine, we'll both go and find is there's a town nearby with people who'll help. For all we know, we're stuck in the middle of nowhere."

SNAP! The nose alerted the two, making them turn 180 degrees and power up, one pair of hands covered in red fire and the other pair flashing lightning bolts on and off. But nothing else was heard. They powered down, Jami's eyes narrowing. Was that a 3-D shadow she had just seen, or just a trick of the moonlight?

"Let's get moving. I've got a bad feeling about this place." They walked down the nicer-looking path, power walking. From the shadows of the trees, a muscular figure growled, not wanting to give up its prey.

"Woah. Really quiet, eh?" Jenn whistled. "Nothing going on. Nope, not a thing." As she talked, Jami looked around.

"Does this place seem familiar to you? Because I swear I've—oooo, a well!" She hurried over and crouched on its little wall, one hand on the rim and one on her knee, making her look like she was about to pounce. She was soon joined by Jenn. "Wonder how deep this is..."

"I know a way to find out." As Jenn smiled evily at her, Jami raised an eyebrow.

"What are you—oh, shit." The one standing quickly pushed the one crouching, her laughter mixing with the cry of "MOTHER FUCKING OW!" Nothing more was heard for a while, save Jenn's laughter.

"What's it like down there?" It was a little hard to say that because of all the laughing.

"...Painful, no thanks to you. Find some rope and get me out of here."

"Only because I need someone to talk to." Conveniently, there was some rope by the well. "All right, I'm sending it down!"

"I can see it!" But while Jami could see the rope, Jenn couldn't see Jami smirking evily. "Yes, just a little lower...lower...perfect! Right there!" The rope was now eye-level with her, and she grabbed on. Planting her feet on the wall of the well, she gripped the rope, widened her grin, and pulled. Jenn soon joined her friend in the well, falling on the more masculine of the two.

"Great, now we're both in here. Thanks...a...lot."

"Heeheeheehee, but it was worth it. Revenge is certainly sweet." She continued "heehee"—ing for a minute before Jenn threw a fireball at her. "MOTHER EFF!"

There was a pause.

"You do know we can probably use our metal to cling to the well and climb out, right?"

"Yeah, but we'll let the villagers do it. They probably need the exercise anyways."

"Ah, smart." They soon fell asleep, each having their own wall. From above, something snarled and loped off. Master would want to know about this, it thought.

What woke Jenn up was all the racket that was going on, the her aching muscles. "What the hell...what's going on up there?" The next thing that happened was a metal bottle came flying down the shaft, and—hit Jami on the head. Jenn should've expected what was coming next, but she jumped a little at the volume.

"MOTHER FUCKING HELL, WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND GETTING HURT IN THIS FUCKING PLACE?"

It was eerily silent.

"Dude, did I do that?"

"I think so, Jami."

"...COOL!"

Everyone was now looking at the well. Even the vampires were curious. Marishka was next to Verona right now. "Shall we see what's down there?"

"Of course." Verona dove down into the well and came up again, throwing what she carried by her feet to Marishka, keeping the prey in her hands with her. Marishka sniffed Jenn.

"Her scent's unusual."

"Hey! Can I help it if our house smelled a little weird? It's all the perfume's fault, anyways..."

"This one is abnormal too!"

"Wow she's faster than the others! They found out I was abnormal 3 weeks after they met me!" She looked around. "Hey! I know where we are!" She turned to Jenn, smiling. "We're in Vaseria!"

Jenn sighed. "Took ya that long?"

Jami also had a dawning realization on her. "We're in trouble, aren't we?"

Verona smiled. "Very much so."

"Aw, crap."

"I second that. Double crap." In an instant Verona screamed, as did Marishka, and both girls were down on the ground, while metal claws retracted into their skin, seen by Van Helsing.

Only one question was in his head: "Are they friend? Or foe?'

Hey, was that good or not? I take flames, though constructive criticsm is nice too, along with compliments. I do do requests, though it has to be something from my list. I'll change that soon. Review please!
