NOTE: I never liked the way they ended the series, although I did love the episode, so I decided to continue it on. Sam is still leaping, he's still married to Donna, Al is still the Observer and was married to Beth. That's all I'm going to tell you. *grin*

Quanta-Dimensional Leap
Prologue


The blue white light of the Leap started to shimmer around Sam announcing that he was about to arrive into his next Host. He started to brace himself for the Transition when something went wrong.

Horribly wrong.

The tingling sensation that usually accompanied a Leap turned to agony and it felt as if his body was being ripped apart from every direction. His mind felt like it was exploded in a shower of sparks as the Quantum state in which he traveled twisted and seemed to almost turn him inside out. Bright white light burst around him leaving a sea of azure sparkling around him. A force seemed to reach and yank him out of the azure field. His body convulsed as wave after wave of pain wracked his body. The azure became an awful blackness as he was drawn ever faster downwards.

Suddenly a Light blossomed into being above him, grabbing hold of him and halting his downward progress. Slowly it started to draw him upwards and away from the darkness. The darkness seemed to growl as Sam was drawn away from it and reached out once again to reclaim its prize. It grabbed Sam by what he perceived to be his arm and tore him away from the light. It quickly surrounded him like the tentacles of a giant squid. Sam's whole body felt as if it were on fire. More waves of hot agony shot through him.

~SAM!~

The darkness drew him further downward into its lair.

~ Dammit Sam, fight! ~

Hearing his name being called by a familiar voice Sam, started to struggle against the darkness that held him. The darkness responded by tightening its hold around him, almost suffocating him.

~ Come on kid! You can do it! ~

He struggled harder, but knew he was losing the battle as he continued to fall into the unending darkness.

~ Good-bye Al ~

~NO!! SAAAAMMMMM!!!!~

The darkness drew him downwards and he began to hear other noises as the sound of his friend died away. Soft chitterings, slitherings, raspings. Sam was filled with panic and thrashed wildly in his captor's grip. He sent out a silent plea to God, Time, Fate whatever. To get him the hell out of this!!

The Light once again flared into being above him. The darkness around him hissed and growled as it reached down and surrounded him. As the Light swept over him, Sam felt the darkness shrink away, and then the Light swiftly pulled him away.

--.

He found himself kneeling on a floor. His head was pounding like a timpani drum, gasping as he desperately tried to draw in more air, and his stomach was heaving from the overwhelming sense of nausea that gripped him. Someone was kneeling beside him, murmuring comforting words while trying to keep him from falling completely over. He looked up and caught a reflection in a mirror almost directly in front of him.

It was his own.

"Oh boy" he gasped just before he fell into unconsciousness.
