In all the dreams that carry themselves from the dream realm makes Angel so acceptable to anything is Rose. Now on a journey to find the rest of the resistance leaders Angel has to face her worst nightmare and that is Quinlan. The bailey, called the Enforcer who Angel meets and known before. The one who can bring her down, and the least one who's the closest to her. Dag, Uriah, or Zane are the only ones she thought she could trust until she was betrayed by one of them. Which of the three will be the one to be the first betrayer?
"SARGE! Wait up! Come on a girl can't run in the shoes all day." Cleo runs as fast as her little legs could take her. Laser shots came breezing past her face. Sarge looks up behind Cleo to see the betrayer coming at them. "CLEO! COME ON!" Sarge returned her cover fire for Cleo to run. Hel came around the corner just tin time with even more fire. "So did you miss me!" Sarge looked over her shoulder then back at the betrayer, "Always!" Hel noticed Cleo wasn't running fast enough, "Cleo come on! Let's go" Cleo finally made it behind Hel and Sarge as she rounds the corner then jumps down the shaft. Hel waits for Sarge to take a jump then she follows her. They see the betrayers shooting from the ledge, turning their gauntlets upwards, and then shooting back in their awkward position. Hel looks over at Sarge looking stressed out, "So where are the surface people?" Sarge grunts as she fires a few rounds back at the incoming lasers that seem to be blasting past her shields. "Don't know I think it was some kind of trap for someone? Only thing is we got there before they did." Hel looked at her friend suspiciously but not because of Sarge, this had to do with Mauser. He knew what was on that disk or did he. Hel didn't care about the disk all he wanted was the reason why Mauser wanted to keep his past away from other what did it have to do with what is happing now. They get back to the lab as Cleo runs in with her cute line of, "Honey I'm home!" Waiting for Mauser to basically kill her sarcasm. Only no answered came out of the eerie coldness of the silent room. Sarge and Hel arrived almost simultaneously after Cleo had. Noticing that something was wrong that Mauser didn't answer Hel went to Mauser station. He wasn't there Sarge looked for him in the back training facilities. She came back into the room with Hel and Cleo then shook her head no to Hel. She looks at Sarge then with a very abrupt look she says, "I need to find Mauser. Sarge, stay here with Cleopatra. It shouldn't take me long."
Sarge didn't like the thoughts of Hel going alone but Hel insisted and Sarge couldn't refuse her wishes. Hel went out the holographic door shooting her launcher to the top-level above them. While Sarge paced the lab for a moment as Cleo played with her new toy, her gauntlet. Sarge noticed her wondering fingers on the small laser that Hel had given her, 'If I don't show her how to shoot that damn thing she will shot her foot off. Oh well since Hel want's the kid to learn and there is noting better to do then wait for her to get back with Mauser. I guess this time is as good as any.' Sarge looked over at her curious little blond, then she gave that smirk of a smile as she say's, "Hey Cleo, be careful with that it's not a toy. Come with me for a sec." Now Cleo was even more curious of what Sarge had in store for her. So she follows her to small testing are for gauntlet firing. As Clue's face lit up with such excitement she turns to Sarge then says, "Am I gonna get that second lesson now?" Sarge gave her that smile as she made sure everything was set for Cleo. "Yeah Hel will be out for awhile, and she will notify us if she need us so until then. Here . . ." She then comes back to Cleo and gently touched her exposed waist pulling her in front of the targets. Cleo couldn't help feel the heat of her hands on her waist, she hadn't been touched in over 500 years. Did it really feel that long, Sarge took her hand away, but Cleo hated the feeling gone from her waist.
"Now which hand is you predominated one?" Cleo looks over her shoulder and say's, "I'm right-handed." Sarge looked at her stance then looked at Cleo, nodding her head. She took Cleo's left hand then says, "Make sure you always brace your right arm with your left. Place your left hand back above the gauntlet, Like this . . ." Sarge takes Cleo's other arm placing the left arm on top of her right. Sarge had both arms around Cleo. She couldn't imagine anything better than at that moment with Sarge. Sarge felt a slight tremble from Cleo's body, she takes back one hand then slowly she moved back some then gave Cleo's other arm a bigger lift, She look down her arms as if it were a gun barrel. A very small target finder pops up quickly lining up her shot in the very instant. The closeness Sarge felt between her and Cleo sent chills down Sarge's spine. She liked Cleo but her heart belonged to Angel, only she was extremely becoming totally aware of Cleo's body and the sweet sent of her skin. He lips barely even grazed Cleo's arm, a shuttering feeling came over Cleo as she could feel the tender stokes of Sarge's hair, face, and lips against her forearm for that second. Sarge moved Back behind Cleo then said, "Make sure you stay in the 90 degree pose, or the quick back will sit you on your ass." Of course Cleo agreed. As she aimed her gauntlet towards the metal object, Sarge felt the most gut wrenching pain tearing through her Chest. She stumbled backwards as Cleo had aimed and hit the target square on. Cleo turned to face her before she could say a word Sarge was holding the wall she was laying against. Cleo ran to her and says, "Sarge, are you ok?" Cleo helped her back into the lab when finally Sarge utter the words she hadn't spoke about in over 3 months now. "ANGEL!" Cleo couldn't understand how in the world could Angel could affect Sarge other than that Cleo reminder her of Angel. But giving Sarge the pains that she is getting, out of nowhere Sarge held Cleo's arm tight as she feel to the floor it was a vision it wasn't her having the vision it was through Angel she was seeing this.
Sarge began shaking as if having a seizure. Cleo couldn't hold to her, Cleo ran to the control panel trying to figure out how to use it. Searching for the button to call Hel back, "DAMN IT! Come on I can do this." Sarge shook violently with she gave the most horrendous scream out, "CLEO!" Cleo ran to Sarge's side. With a comforting hand, she touched her forehead. "It's ok, Sarge. I'm here. I am going to call Hel back but I need to know how to do it stay with me." Sarge closed her eye's but the vision didn't stop, her body didn't stop shaking, gritting her teeth she barely makes one word come out. "GAUNTLET!" Remembering that there was an interaction between all of their gauntlets Cleo quickly found the button to call Hel back. "Hel, we need you now. Sarge is having some kind of seizure." Hel received the surprising message and had one of two choices save Sarge of find Mauser. Hel knew in her heart that Sarge would always come first no matter the cost. She was not willing to let Sarge go, "Cleo try and get Sarge into the healing tube. I will try to get there as soon as I can." Cleo looks at Sarge as her eye's begin to roll back in her head then she shook her head in a nodding motion of yes. Cleo wasn't sure she could even support her friend. Then she lifted her with all her strength. It wasn't much, but Cleo dragged Sarge's almost lifeless body that gave spasms every few inches. Finally she was able to lay her inside the chamber. Closing it she pressed her gauntlet then say's, "She's in Hel what should I do now?" Cleo made the remark to her gauntlet on left fore arm. Just then Hel came swooping into the through the holographic door. As the word had formed and already left her lips. Hel stops then she runs over to the capsule holding her best friend she had been with for a few years now, Cleo looks up shocked as Sarge begins to worsen with the shuttering visions.
Cleo looked into Hel as Hel began adjusting some controls on the door of the capsules. "Cleo how long has she been like this" Hel said so commanding that scared Cleo shitless!
"I don't.... Know About a few minutes?" Hel looked at her and knew she was scared but she didn't have to play she needed to know. "Cleo HOW LONG?" Cleo looked at Sarge quietly then finally she say's, "For about 15 minutes, she said it was Angel." Hel shook her head then says, "I am getting sick of this shit! I really hate Angel now!" While inside the tube Sarge can hear her voice "Rose! Rose, I need you! NOOOOOOOOOOO! Rose NOOOO!"
The pain in her back through her body twitching uncontrollably! The light hit's her eyes then suddenly she steps out of her body inside the 20th century. She saw Angel hunkered down in a spot behind a very old pile of metal pieces smoke clouds the air and her view. She could see the hurt and pain in her eyes Angel walks past her but felt the overwhelming presence of her. She stops with a whisper that leave her lips a little wet and dry she said, "Rose!" Those words hit Sarge in the stomach she closed her eyes while she gasped trying to reach her hand out to touch Angel's face. But Angel turned quickly away and ran closer to the ground she opened a metal door to a buildings that had crashed together to make one. Angel stopped and touched her left check then looked over her shoulder. She closed her yes Sarge screamed "NO! Angel! WHY?" She closed her eyes again then she ran though the door Angel went through, was she a ghost in the past. Watching Angel run frantically down the case of stairwells down into what seemed oblivion for a moment. Sarge began her task after the young fearless blond. Sarge raced for what seemed like time on end, down the stairwell that took her to the one she loved the most. Trying to find out the reason she had felt so much pain, why her body finally stopped aching when she arrived to find Angel alone on a mission.
Sarge draws a blank as she watched Angel staying in control of her every movement, inside tunneled corridors. Something Sarge has never seen before, but she followed as close as she could. But she felt drawn to go without having to move her feet. The illusions seemed all too real, but it wasn't the way she had feared. The movements were rare like that of a stealth fighter, "What is Angel doing here? Why is she dressed like that?" Sarge couldn't seem to control the fear that still lingered in her soul right down into her bones. She closed her eye's, shook her head to clear the ever so thought of losing Angel for the second time maybe even for good. Then as the illusionary feel became more and more controversial. The pain became less but still the loss was much greater. Sarge ducked behind each corner that Angel seems to fall into before, not realize she didn't need to hide. It was until finally Angel seemed to reach her destination, opening a door to a dark filled chamber. Sarge ran into the unknown seeing Angel trapped inside the kiss odd deception. Her own second in command standing with Zane, Uriah, and Angel hung in the air. Everything seemed to disappear but Angel hung from a steal chain, arms above her head. Water trickled down her lithe body, markings of read covered her through the ripped clothing over her body.
Sarge's eye could bear to see the pain the horror of the look of death on Angel's body. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" With a brut force Sarge jumped, pushes through the healing tube the top shatters while her arms some what gets sliced through the process. She opens her eyes rising out of the tube then jumps down. Hel and Cleo look at one another in such shock, Sarge turns to them then with shattered glass surrounding her feet. Her eye's adjusted to the lighted lab for a minute as she looked up, turning her body to Hel and Cleo. "We are going to the 20th century."
With those passionate words that left her trembling lips she walked away to the holographic doorway, then looked over her shoulder and with her toughest voice she say's, "Are you coming." Sarge steps out on the edge she looked down the she looked up, she knew she might never see the shaft again but something were worth more than just a free-fall or two. "I am not losing you a second time Angel." She releases the web that was secured inside her gauntlet. She lets it go as she flies up the shaft with rocket boots and all. Hel and Cleo ran to the door, without having to look at each other twice they shot their webs and ascended upwards along with Sarge.
