Ok this is going to be the final part of the series which started in 'On the List' and continued in 'The Notes' though you don't need to have read those it might be helpful to know what changes the characters have gone through in particular Henry Jekyll.
My League is slightly different to the one in the film as I have added John Roxton (pre Lost World) and Ned Land (20,000 leagues) they haven't been in for long but they may be here to stay.
Those of you who wanted to read a Skinner origin story will have to wait till this is finnished as I want to get this series finnished before I carry on.
This takes place a few hours after the end of 'The Notes' as usual none of the characters belong to me apart from the now deceased Zu Jekyll.
Enjoy and please review.

The Nautilus ...
It had been a subdued party who had returnned to the Nautilus, Captain Nemo, Mina Harker and Rodney Skinner had remained behind to search the base of the late Colonel Moran to see if they could find any hint as to where Professor Aronnax had been taken. This had left the others return to the Nautilus Henry Jekyll and Tom Sawyer had been silent all the way back leaving what little converstaion took place to John Roxton and Ned Land. As soon as they were back on the Nautilus Tom and Henry went back to their rooms to be alone. Ned and John exchanged looks before retiring to the library for a few drinks.

Henry automatically changed out of the torn clothes into another suit, he didn't know why he bothered but it seemed to have just become a habit from when he used to turn into Edward Hyde. Edward Hyde had been gone for months now thanks to Zu, Henry hurridly changed his thoughts he didn't want to think about Zu. She had been his wife and he'd let her down like he let everybody down and she was dead. Henry fell face first on the bed in an attempt to muffle his sobs from anyone who passed by his room. His memories of Zu flooded his mind, there had been a time when Jennifer Daniels had attacked the Nautilus for reasons which were still unclear as part of this she had taken him prisoner. That had been the first time that he'd seen Zu displaying the fact that she was female as at all other times before that she's dressed and acted like a man. He had almost died that day protecting Zu with the body of Edward Hyde, it must have been before then that he'd fallen in love with her, he had never asked when she'd realised that she'd cared for him but it may have been when he finally got rid of the monster within himself with the help of Zu and the rest of the League. He had never repaid her for that, she had loved him and left the Nautilus so she could be with him. They'd been married six months later, he imediaetly stopped all thughts of the wedding night in that room before he could make himself even more miserable if that was possible. Why had she died instead of him? She had been so young and full of life it just wasn't fair. Why ?

Tom had done nothing he gone to his cabin and closed the door and then locked it before sinking down to the floor, tears leaked out from between his fingers as he held his head in his hands. He had always thought he was useless and now Moran had confirmed it, he was a liability and one that the League didn't need any more. Pulling himself together he gathered up what he needed from his cabin and put in a travel sack. He then quietly left his room and the Nautilus to try and find a new life. His modified guns and pistols he left on the bed. The man who had once been an American secret agent went to find a new life.

Roxton and Ned had come to a mutual agreement that as they would be of no use to anyone at that particular moment and after the stressful day that they had been through they would get drunk. The collection of drinks that Nemo kept on his boat had grown over the years especially as Skinner was prone to having a few drinks every night, as a result of this there was plenty for the two me to chose from. By choice they started on the first bottle of whisky. It was three hours later that Mina and the others returnned, the three members of the League could hear loud out of tune singing coming from the library and with a sigh went to see what the problem was.
Mina wrinkled her nose in disgust at the sight before her, Ned Land and John Roxton were sitting on tje floor a bottle in each hand and singing lustily away not caring whether they were in tune or not. By the amount of bottles scattered around the pair of them she presumed that they had been drinking for sometime now. She heard a soft chuckle from Skinner but decided not to comment on his own habits. Nemo just sighed and left them to it.

I'm trying to improve this story over the previous two by taking on board comments people have made about the other fics I have been posted.
I assure you that the story will start eventually.
If Clez reads this then sorry but I am going to take a leaf out of your book and get ole Tom into trouble. I don't like the character particularly thats why my stories are centered on Jekyll and Skinner as opposed to the others.
Anyone who is confused and can't be bothered to read the other fics can e-mail me and I can send you brief details of what happned in the earlier stories.
As with all my stories now no feedback no more story.
