The Beginning of The End
Chapter One
~ I own nothing, but if I did there'd be more Taelon relationships and I would have killed the first writer who even suggested that Da'an be taken off the show. All Hail the Great Leni Parker and all her associates, *genuflects* By the way, I don't know the exact time line, but in this one Da'an and Auger have just betrayed Liam and Liam still has his shaqarava , and I don't care if it is wrong!!!!
Major Liam Kincaid stood in front of his companion, Da'an, completing his report on the recent security upgrade and the high hopes of the designer of it's complete reliability. He was a bit uncomfortable in the Taelon's presence ever since his betrayal. He knew Da'an felt bad about his deception, and even worse about the loss of their former close relationship, but he didn't see how he could trust him now. He desperately wanted to, he missed their talks and he still had feelings for the companion, but he couldn't allow any more of a loss of life on the resistance's part as a result of his and Da'an's closeness.
He had just wrapped up his report and was waiting for the Taelon to dismiss him when a sudden electric crackle sounded behind him, he turned around quickly as Da'an rose from his chair to stare at the phenomenon taking place on the roof of the Taelon embassy. Long tendrils of blue electricity were coming out of what appeared to be a rip in the ceiling, they appeared to be causing the tear to widen and Liam quickly motioned for Da'an to leave the room for his own safety, he had just turned to take Liam's advice when a body fell through the ceiling, landing with a thud on the floor in front of the startled Major. Just as suddenly as it had appeared the opening vanished, leaving a puzzled Hybrid and Taelon, a semi-conscious form on the floor, and a burned spot on the ceiling where an errant bolt of electricity had hit.
Da'an walked back toward his protector as Liam cautiously approached the prone form, it appeared to be a young girl, she looked to be about fifteen and was wearing some sort of white body suit which completely covered every inch of her except her head and attached to a kind of footwear that looked very much like Taelon boots, there was also a loose hood that did not quite conceal her white hair, in fact the only color she was wearing other than white was a small black tear shape on the center of her gloved hands. He was about to reach down and check her pulse when she stirred, causing him to recoil slightly and aim his pulse weapon at her.
She raised herself shakily on her elbows and looked at Liam, electricity flashing in her eyes and spoke a single sentence before collapsing, "Please, help me, she's going to kill me."
Da'an and Liam slowly approached the young woman, Liam had put his weapon away and was kneeling over her, shaking her shoulder gently, and when she did not respond he looked to Da'an.
"Should I take her to the medical facility?" he asked with a curious reluctance, for some reason he didn't want the girl out of his sight.
"One moment, Liam," Da'an said, reaching down and touching the back of the girl's hand, as if to share with her, quite suddenly he arched his back as energy began flowing from him to the girl. Liam reacted instinctively, pulling Da'an away from the drain.
"Are you alright?" he asked the shaken Da'an. Da'an nodded staring at the female who was laying a few feet from him in absolute amazement. "What happened?" Liam was worried that Da'an was weak from the drain of his energy.
"I am fine, Liam." Da'an paused, "It appears this is no ordinary child, she is Re'carusha," Da'an said, the Taelon word rolling off his tongue and yet still sounding strangely slurred.
"And what exactly is a Re'carusha?" Liam asked.
"It has always been a mythical phenomenon, that in time of great need someone will come to right the wrong and prevent a great catastrophe," Da'an explained. "This being will be known by their ability to absorb just about any power and their song." Da'an continued.
"Song?" Liam asked "What do you mean?"
Da'an paused again to collect his thoughts, "Because this has always been believed to be a myth, there has never much speculation on it, however it was always assumed that the song was some sort of disruption in the frequencies of the central nervous system, it allowed them to control or destroy as they chose and they used this power to fulfill their mission."
"So, you believe she is here to correct some cosmic wrong?" Liam asked speculatively.
"I believe that the only being I have encountered that was able to siphon energy merely by our contact is a fellow Taelon, and she is most definitely not a Taelon," Da'an finished.
"But-." Liam stopped as the girl beside him began once more to stir. he reached down and gently helped her sit up. Da'an was very careful not to touch her, but watched every move the girl made with a kind of fearful fascination.
"Are you alright?" Liam asked her as he helped her to stand.
"I am fine, did she come yet, did she hurt you?" She asked breathlessly, while gazing at them worriedly.
"No one has come except you," Liam said with a smile as he helped her to a bench. "Why, is someone coming that we should know about?"
"My sister, I have to leave, she will find me and you won't be safe," the child was obviously worried and her almost cherubic face was streaked with tears, something they had failed to notice after her abrupt appearance.
"Who is your sister?" Da'an asked, "Another Re'carusha?"
The child looked surprised at Da'an's name for her but ignored it to answer his question, "She is, half of me, she is, she is," she paused trying to explain it all. "Maybe I should start at the beginning," she said in a childish confused voice. Her face went completely blank and a strange, rolling voice came from her lips, it began an emotionless incantation that did not pause or stop until it had completed it's strange story. "Some time ago, before the times of conflict began there was a silence in the universe, everything was quiet and peaceful, and then there was a spark of Chaos." "This spark ignited a planet, it was called war, and it was wrong." "This wrongness was a mistake, it was not meant to be, and it was started from a dimension that seethed with the Chaos." "After a time, it was clear that the wrongness was not to be contained in a single planet, but that it spread, like a virus, to others; the universe needed to combat this wrongness, so it created a being." "It was the being's purpose to listen to and follow the wrongness, in an effort to understand and destroy it, but in order to have the power to destroy it, it had to have elements in it from both the silence and the wrongness, and this troubled the being." "Soon the being felt the wrongness multiplying, so it set off on it's journey to defeat it." "After traveling to the planet from which the wrongness had begun it solved the problems and expelled the wrongness." "But the wrongness had already spread across the galaxy, it was necessary to follow it everywhere in hopes of eventually catching up, for though it took time to sow the wrongness, it also took time to remove it." "Eventually, the being caught up to the wrongness as it was devouring another planet and the being attacked, but the wrongness divided to protect it's essence and cast part of it's self at the being." "For the first time the being felt pain, it was split by the wrongness, and it could no longer fulfill it's purpose." "The wrongness was smaller now, and it took longer to sow it's message, this left the being, who was now beings, with hope." "If the beings were to recombine it could defeat the wrongness and end the war, but the beings must move quickly, for the wrongness is growing and the beings are confused." "The only hope is from the planet that the being was there to help, if the planet could heal the beings then they would survive, if not the wrongness would continue."
Da'an an Liam stared at the child who had so glibly recited the myths buried in the Taelon archives amongst their most sensitive data. The child appeared to come out of a kind of trance and smiled at them as if nothing had happened, she appeared to have no idea of what had occurred, but she was certain that they now understood everything.
The small female smiled up at the two colleagues with an innocence and trust that was truly amazing, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you, of course, you are the planet's chosen." She suddenly frowned, "But where are the other two?" She looked around, then up at their puzzled expressions with a slightly frustrated sigh, "You have to find them, there must be four."
~Ok, this is the first chapter, what did everybody think, good, not so good, get back at me for some of those reviews I handed out. Love me? Hate me? Well, give me your opinion!!
