Chapter Six:

"A New Beginning"

The prospect of Khan becoming immortal was a terrifying thought too anyone who knew the tyrant personally, she compared him too such tyrants as Genghis Khan and Napoleon to name but a few. If this whole crazy process worked he would be unstoppable with the power of immortal, she knew she had to stop him before he could complete his process and the only way she knew how to do that was to be in the room with him during the quickening, perhaps she could take his head afterward. However her own sword was left at the headquarters of the resistance, she would have to somehow take Macleod's blade from Khan, but that would be dangerous.

"My love, allow me to be with you at this momentous occasion of your ascension to being a living god"

"Why?"

His reply was dark and terrifying as he looked threw her, almost as if she wasn't in the room with him, for the first time since she had been assigned here she felt alone and afraid.

"It is not everyday I see a GOD being born my lord"

Playing to his ego and vanity had always worked for her, and this was no change. His eyes focused on her as she looked up into his dark soulless eyes and nodded softly.

"When will this momentous occasion happen?"

"Tomorrow morning at sun rise. Wear something nice my dear, for tomorrow as you put it, I will finally be a god as my destiny had foretold"

The look in his eyes once again turned too the look of a mad man as she wrapped her arms around his vast shoulders and buried her worried face into his chest.

The morning came quickly as he stood over her bed watching her sleep, her eyes opened with a start as she saw him standing over her. A cold dread washed over her as he continued to watch her.

"Get dressed my love, as today I am a god!"

Had he already taken the heads? No she could not feel the presence of another immortal. Quickly she jumped out of bed and began to dress as his eyes still focused on her naked form, nervously she dressed in a long white gown that reminded her of the wedding dress she once wore for her late husband over 100 years ago.

Quickly she turned and stood at his side with a forced smile while all the time her eyes kept focusing on the Katana sheathed at his side, taking it from him would be difficult especially as he would have armed guards near by. But she knew that Khan's last breath was fast approaching.

The walk too the large vault happened in slow motion as she could only hear the sound of Khan's boots on the marble floor, she had opted to walk bare foot as the heeled shoes he had chosen for her would make a quick escape difficult. Finally they approached the large doors as the powerful feeling of present immortals washed over her, slowly Khan opened the door and lead her inside, her eyes almost fell out of her head as she looked around at the horror before her.

A large room filled with immortals hanging from the roof in body bags in a large circle with blood letting tubes from veins and arteries all over their lifeless bodies. Around each immortal's neck was a metal cord attached to a large motor with a controller on the table next to the door. Like some gothic ceremony a large well built man handed Khan the controller and bowed slightly as he backed away.

"Do not worry my love, they are all sedated, you'd be surprised at what it took too put these creatures down"

"Creatures? Who are they?"

Taking the sword from it's scabbard Khan walked to a large hairy man two his left and pushed it threw his stomach hard.

"This is the first one we caught. He killed my father before my eyes before running, it's name is Boars it took over ten years but I finally caught up with him in the Amazon rain forest…"

With the purest hate in his eyes he twisted the sword violently before pulling it out and sheathing it. Slowly he stepped back into the centre of the morbid circle.

"Once I have done with these creatures, I will finally be able to fulfil my destiny and father's last wish"

"If anyone deserves it my love it's you. You have fought and laboured so hard for this"

The sound of the words coming from her mouth almost made her vomit as she choked back her words, quickly her eyes ran around the room, at each face. None of them was Macleod. 'so it was him in the other room' she thought.

Slowly Khan raised the controller and smiled darkly as he pushed the button, the sound of the over head motor kicked into action as the cords pulled tight around each immortal's neck and finally pulled off their heads.

"YES! MAKE ME A GOD!"

Khan screamed as the quickening began. A large blue and white cloud filled the room as sparks of energy began to flow, quickly he raised his arms to the roof and laughed as energy began to flow, but not too him.

"WHAT"

Quickly he looked at the woman at his side as like lightening she ripped the sword from his side as the energy of the quickening enveloped her.

"Kalia?"

Smiling she looked deep into his eyes as explosions rippled threw her body and the room she occupied. Her body lifted off the ground and began to hover of the power of the vast quickening flowed threw her with tremendous force. As quickly as it appeared it disappeared as she fell to the floor and looked up at Khan with the deadliest of eyes. Slowly with all the power with in her she stood and faced him and threw gritted teeth she spoke.

"My name is not Kalia… My love. I am Jehanne la Pucelle, Daughter of Jacques D'Arc and Isabelle Romee. And you… My love… are dead!"

The shock in his eyes turned to hate and pure fear as she expertly swung the large sword inches from his neck, leaving just the slightest of scratches. Quickly he backed away as the large man near the door made a run for her, but she was too fast and powerful as she quickly lunged forward and trusted the razor sharp blade deep into his chest and threw too is back. Quickly she pushed him off and looked around, but Khan was gone. Screaming loudly she yelled his name in taunt a she walked threw the doors and around the next corner an open door. With a large dark smile on her face she walk into the room too see Khan holding up the sedated body of Duncan Macleod.

"Come near me and I'll take his head. You immortal bitch!"

"And to think I shared my bed with you… my love"

Slowly she moved around too her left as Khan moved too his right holding Macleod by his neck with a large dagger placed at his throat.

"Well, Khan, you have no idea what you're dealing with. I think I may just take your head for the fun of it"

"You will not get out of this place alive. But then, perhaps I don't have too take this creature's head to be immortal. I may just take yours"

Smiling he threw Macleod down onto the floor and lunged at her, with lightening fast reflexes she shifted too her right and slashed across his stomach and watched as fell to the floor hard. With a smile she held the sword over his head and laughed slightly.

"You've got a lot too learn kid"

She was almost ready to land the deadly blow before the sound of running boots gaining closer caught her attention, quickly she placed the sword at her side and picked up Macleod's sedated form and carried him out of Khan's large home.

After a retrieval squad had recovered them both and taken them too a secured location, Jenna stood over Macleod as he came around. Smiling she looked down at him and spoke softly.

"Welcome back, Mac"

"Jenna? What? Where am I?"

A familiar voice echoed threw the caves forcing him to sit up slowly, as pain echoed threw his head.

"Don't worry, the sedatives will wear off shortly. But you're safe Mac"

"Methos?"

"You where expecting the Easter bunny?"

Laughing slightly he scrambled too his feet and shuffled over too his old friend and hugged him before walking towards the exit of the caves.

"Where am I?"

"Welcome too command…"

"How did I get here?"

"Jenna took down Khan, we where able too pick you both up and bring you here. Which reminds me Jenna. Khan has disappeared, we got reports he destroyed his home and left in the flames we've got every one out looking for him. But we don't expect too see him again"

"No, Methos…"

Jenna Replied.

"He's still out their, plotting his revenge against me"

The name Boars is from a pre-prequel written by a good friend of mine called RJ Bingham
