DISCLAIMER! This story is fiction, and I'm a fan…FANFICTION PPL! In other words—It aint mine!

Thanks for the reviews! They are my inspiration to keep writing! :)

Wow I was surprised at myself that I didn't leave an authors note at the end of the last chapter! Guess I just forgot…I do tend to be forgetful…But Ash still loves me! Okay maybe not… :)

REALLY REALLY REALY SORRY aout how long it took to update! It was just the whole vacation I couldn't write, and thenhen I got back to school the teachers like bomarded us with projects and stuff. Everytime I reviewed someones story asking them to update, I felt guilty cause I was being a hippocrite! Ill try really hard to update sooner next time!

First Mission part 3 summary: Ash, Quinn, Rashel and Keller have been captured by Ash's father, Aduro Redfern, during their mission. Turns out that the Council had found a new prophecy concerning human children, and the Daybreakers need to get this vital information back to Thierry. Can they escape with their lives? Find out…

"Quick, let's go!" Rashel shouted, finishing off the last guard.

They all sprinted towards the door, Ash in the lead.

"Which way?" Quinn shouted desperately as they flew out into the hallway.

"This way!" Ash led them to the left. He had seen his father turn left when he had exited the room.

Quinn realized this. "Ash! We cannot go after your dad right now! We have vital information and this may be our only chance to escape!"

Ash suddenly stopped and turned around, causing Quinn to run into him. "Fine, then you go, and I'll get the son of a bitch myself." He said darkly.

Quinn stared at him for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Wait…you seriously…think…that…I would..leave…you to go after…him …alone?" He got out between fits of laughter. "I'm your best friend idiot! And I'm staying! The girls can bring the info to Thierry."

The twins simultaneously crossed their arms. "And Quinn, what would be the reason that we have to leave and miss out on all the fun? It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that we're girls, would it?" Rashel said sweetly.

Before Quinn could answer, Keller broke in, shaking her head. "Nope, sorry. We're a team, and how do you think that would make us feel if you died 'cause you didn't have us to plan?" She turned to Ash. "If you're staying, we're staying to, you'll need all the help you can get against your dad and his henchmen. Besides, one of us is bound to live anyway; we'll get that prophecy to Thierry."

Ash was startled. They actually care about what happens to me… no one has ever cared… Smiling he said. "well then, what are we waiting for? I bet the bastards already halfway to china by now!"

They all turned and sprinted down the hallway. It was a long gray hall with few and far spaced lights and multiple steel doors, housing rooms similar to the one the Daybreakers had been held in.

"Wait!" Keller suddenly shouted, sprinting into a room with a wooden door that Ash hadn't noticed. "It's a weapon storage room!" Her voice was muffled from inside. Two minutes later she returned, smiling triumphantly. She handed them each their original weapons.

"Yes!" Ash pumped his fist in the air, glad to have his awesome Circle Daybreak signature blade back.

They started down the hall again. Surprisingly, they only met a few guards, who were no match for an angry Rashel. They were almost at the end of the hall, when Ash realized something. "The kids!"

"Shit." Keller cursed. "And we just killed off the last guard! We could have asked him where they are."

"Well, we'll just have to find another one! I bet this place is swarming with them, we just have to look. Oh and this time, Rashel, please refrain from killing immediately." Quinn said sarcastically.

Rashel flipped him off, and they ran down the remainder of the hallway. They emerged into a large round white room with a dome ceiling. There was a narrow walkway(with railings) about halfway up that circled around the entire room, a few doors leading from it. There were five doors on the main level, all on different parts of the room leading in different directions.

"Uh…which way?" Quinn asked

"I geuss we'll just have to try them all." Ash sighed and started walking towards the nearest door.

"Oh, I'm afraid that won't be necessary."

Ash froze in his tracks, slowly turning to where his father's voice had come. Aduro was standing on the walkway above, looking crazed with anger. Coming out of the doorway under him was another 50 or so guards. The Daybreakers all groaned, but knew this fight would be much easier with their weapons.

Quinn, try and get one of them to tell you where the kids are. Ash relayed mentally.

Why don't you? Quinn shot back.

Ill be a bit busy. Ash mentally growled, glaring steadily at his father.

Quinn mentally sighed. Fine… he stretched out the e.

And so the fight began.

Again.

Some really ninja stuff went down (thanks to Rashel) and the fight was quickly coming to an end, in the Daybreaker's favor.

Ash finished off the last goon near him, when he heard his mothers angry voice shout, "Ash Redfern!"

He quickly spun around to see his mother right behind him, clutching a stake in her raised, shaking, hands. She looked almost as crazed as his father, if not more.

Ash stood, staring at her, rooted to the spot. His own mother? He could never… would never…

"this has gone on long enough!" She shouted. "I tried to convince your father, once we found out that you were helping those vermin, that we should dispose of you and your friends."

Ouch. Ash thought. His mother had always been the kind one. What happened?

"but no! he was convinced you had information he could use! But Im not waiting ant longer, when you might escape again, and I'm sure your father agrees with me now!"

"But…mother! Im your son! Surley you wouldent…" Ash trailed off, seeing Rose shaking her head back and forth.

"Were my son. Now you are just an ugly stain on the family tree." She spat. She began advancing on him, raising her stake higher.

Ash could not kill his mother. So instead he just stood, waiting for his death by his own mothers hands. She was right n front of him now, and this close he could see that her eyes were blood shot and mad looking. She really had gone crazy. She lifted the steak up, and quickly brought it down, aiming for his heart.

Well, at least she has the decency to make it quick, He thought darkly.

He closed his eyes, waiting…waiting…waiting…

But it never came.

He opened his eyes as he heard his mother scream, but he was too late. She fell towards him, and he caught her, falling to the ground. There was a stake protruding from her chest, surrounded by a pool of crimson. He stared down at her , and she slowly lifted her hand to touch his cheek. "Im…sorry…son…" Her hand fell.
She was gone.

Ash stared down at her for a few seconds more, unbelieving. Then he looked up and saw Rashel standing there, staring in horror and shock at what she had done.

Ash heard Quinn shout, "Rashel! A little help over here?"

She glanced over to him, then turned back to Ash. "Im…Im so sorry…" She turned and ran towards Quinn.

Ash stared down at his moher for another minute, then glanced up at where his father was still standing. He looked as though his vein was about to burst, looking around like a crazed animal.

Ash looked around too. The round room was strewn with the bodies of his fathers minions.(Love that word!) And Rashel, Keller, and Quinn were finishing off the last bunch. Ash looked back up at his father. Aduro seemed to make up his mind, and with one look towards his fallen wife, he turned and hurried out the door behind him.

The coward! Ash thought with menace. He made up his mind as well, and layed his mother gently down. "goodbye, mother" He whispered softly, then turned and sprinted towards the walkway Aduro had been standing on. With all of his strength , he launched himself upwards, reaching…reaching…

"Yes!" He couldent help the shout of triumph as his hands closed around the lower bar of the walkway's handrail. Using his upper body strength (**Drooling at the thought of those amazing muscles**) He managed to pull himself up onto the walkway. Wasting no time, he immediately began sprinting down the same hall his father had. The walls passed in a blur, he didn't register if there were any people in the hall. If there were, then he was going to fast for them to catch up. He kept sprinting until he saw a door ajar at the end of the hallway, leading outside. He didn't think it was possible, but he somehow managed to speed up his pace, and he was outside of the door in less than a minute. Unfortunately, all of his running was for nothing.

The bastard was leaving in a helicopter.

It looked as if it had only just taken off. Ash could see his fathers face in the window, smiling down at him in victory.

"You coward!" Ash yelled over the sound of the helicopter. "Come back and fight like a man!"

But the helicopter was leaving.

Ash dropped to his knees, completely out of breath, and stared as the blinking lights got further and further away, until he could see them no more. But he continued to stare, utterly outraged at the situation, at his father, but mostly, at himself. Ash was unsure of how long he was sitting there, but Quinn's mental voice rang clear in his head, out of nowhere, making Ash jump back up to his feet.

Ash! Where are you? We've got the kids, and James is on his way with his truck.

Where are you? I'll be right there. He began to jog back the way he came as Quinn showed him mental pictures of the path they had taken.

When he arrived, James and Keller were loading the children into the van. There seemed to be about 15 of them, all the same age, and all girls except for Brian, whom he saw clinging to Rachel like a frightened animal. Rachel herself was completely calm, whispering soothing words to her brother.

Ash turned to Quinn and Rashel, who were walking towards him. Rashel would not look at him.

"One helluva first mission, eh?" Quinn said weakly, managing a small smile. Ash ignored him and turned to get into James truck, planning to fall asleep and not to wake up for as long as possible.

Epilogue

It turned out that Ash was right, and that Rachel was an old soul. She also happened to be the child mentioned in the prophecies, and was more than happy to start training to save the world. Her parents and brother had accepted the Night World quiet peacefully, and were now living with Rachel at Circle Daybreak H.Q in Las Vegas. Ash had finally convinced Rashel to talk to him again, with the help of Quinn, and explained how he held nothing of his mothers death against her. The other children they had rescued had had their memories wiped, and were returned to their respective families. Unfortunately for Ash, they could find no signs of where Aduro had gone, so he was, eventually, forced to give up his quest for revenge. As the apocalypse drew ever nearer, Ash began to worry about Mary-Lynette. Would he ever see her again? He sure hoped so….

Yes! Finnaly finished! Well, at least with the first mission part :P I'm planning on doing a chapter on him "slaying his dragon", literally. Like the idea? If not, I could just skip straight to the reunion…

(BTW review!)
