Chuck simply observes the whole flurry of activity in the war room that is happening and wonders what is going to happen next.

The main plan is simple. The military force will be divided up in half. One half of the rebellion force will take the injured, the pregnant women, and children off to a remote region of the country that only the Red Queen knows about. According to the mysterious Red Queen, they will be safe there. The other half of the rebellion will invade the palace. This is the group that Chuck is assigned to.

Rupert did not trust Chuck. Even though Rupert has been forced into this plan, he did not placed his faith in the fact that the plan materialized from Chuck's idea. Rupert wanted Chuck along with this plan for one reason and one reason only: If this plan goes wrong, Rupert wanted Chuck to be a human shield that Rupert can used if he is fired upon.

"Ouch." There is that pain in Chuck's head. He did not know why it is there. This time, it felt like a sharp hot pencil being shoved in his brain. Chuck had to look at his hand again to be sure that he was not bleeding. The pain seems to be random now. For the life of him, Chuck did not know how he got this pain.

There is no blood. Chuck rubs the back of his head to try and eases the pain away.

"Just hang in there." Chuck jumps a little when he hears the voice beside him. Chuck look to his side to see Jenny standing there.

"Don't sneak up on a guy like that." said Chuck.

"I am on my way. Just hang in there. Do not die on me." said Jenny with a concern look on her face.

"What are you talking about?" said Chuck. He hears a rumbling behind him. Acting on instinct, he look at the direction of the rumble. He finds it was only soldiers getting ready for the "invasion." They were getting their weapons.

Chuck looks back at Jenny to find that she is not there. He scan the room to look for Jenny. Jenny is beside the Red Queen on the other side of the war room looking at the monitors.

"How did you get over there so quickly?" ask Chuck to no one in particular.

"Sir, satellites are showing a force approaching the base." yells out a woman as she looks at the monitor. Rupert, who was talking to one of his lieutenants look up.

"Do we have visual?" asks Rupert.

"Yes, sir." reply the woman to Rupert.

"Let's take a look." said Rupert. Once the picture is on the screen, everyone in the room gasp.

No one even bother making a remark. Each one of them knows what is coming. There is a platoon of Sontarians approaching the base. They see five warships in the air. On the ground, everyone in the room could see a formation of soldiers marching on the ground.

Everyone knows why there is a force "knocking on the door." It is not a force to conquer. It is not a force protecting a convoy. The force that is approaching their base is an invading force for the sole purpose of not leaving any survivors.

"That is a Sontarian army that is approaching us. How long before they get here?" ask Rupert who had hopes that he had more time before this situation occur.

"According to the figures, they will be here within fifteen minutes." yells out a woman.

"Salvador, what is our progress of getting everyone out of here." said Rupert who could feel all of his nightmares coming true.

"Sir, we need at least 30 minutes more just to get everyone gather." said a young man. Rupert could see how the Red Queen's plan is falling apart.

The Red Queen's plan is very simple. She brought two teleportation booths. One booth is programmed with coordinates out in the mountains. That is for the civilians. The second booth is programmed with coordinates with the location outside of the palace in order to attack the Dictator. Both trips are one way. No one is coming back to the base. Once everyone is off the base, the teleportation booths will be destroy in order to prevent a sneak attack from the enemy.

"Crap. We need 30 minutes to gather ourselves and we need another hour just to get a good distance away from the Sontarians." state Rupert as he put his hands in his hair. "I need more time."

Jenny looks at the screen and takes a deep breath.

"Do not worry about them. I will deal with them." said Jenny as she walks out of the room. Rupert turns and starts to follow her. The Red Queen follows both of them out of the room.

Chuck look around. He decided that he had to follow them out of the room. Curiosity is getting the better of him.

"Are you serious?" ask Rupert. "That is an army of the genetic manufactured clones whose sole purpose is to fight a war. Excuse me. The sole purpose is to win a war. What makes you think that you can deal with them?" ask Rupert

"Because they are not the only ones who were created to win a war." said Jenny as she increases her pace to leave Rupert standing in the hallway wondering what that meant.

Chuck could not help but wonder what Jenny is going to do against an army. It is something that he could not comprehend. Even with the Intersect in his mind, he did not have the ability to handle a whole army. Even though, he has imagined it, Chuck could not see John Casey handling an army. He had to run into the War Room. He had to see what Jenny is going to do next.

Chuck walks in the War Room and look at the monitor. He waits to see what the female Timelord would do. Finally, he sees Jenny walking out of the base door and into the canyon. She take one hundred steps out of the entrance of the cave and stops. She looks directly at the Sontarian ship. A small smile appears on her face. Chuck looks at her and wonders how she is keeping her calm. Even with all that he had experience, he could not help and let a little fear in.

Jenny shakes her head at the upcoming swarm of soldiers. Using her foot, Jenny start to draw a line on the ground. Everyone in the War Room holds their breath for a moment.

"I don't know where you found that girl, but she is my kind of crazy." said Rupert. Chuck look back at the old soldier.

"I didn't found her. She kind of found me." replied Chuck.

"Don't know, but I don't care. All I know is that she is going to buy us that time." said Rupert. He look around the War Room at the soldiers who had stop what they were doing and watch the video feed. "WE ALL HAVE JOBS TO DO TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF HER! SHE IS GIVING US TIME TO DO THAT! SO DO YOUR JOBS AND MAKE EVERY SECOND THAT SHE GIVES US COUNT!"

Chuck watches the feed as everyone resumes their tasks. He sees one of the ship landing and every Sontarian soldiers stop marching. Staying in perfect formation, they simply wait. He watches as one of the video feed zoom in on the ship that landed.

A soldier appears in front of the ship. He takes off of his helmet. Chuck resist in laughing. Even though the soldier looks like a potato head, Chuck knew that the soldier may have the ability to obliterates this whole base of people.

Chuck watch as the soldier walks straight to Jenny. He approaches her with his helmet off and carrying his gun. He walks right up in front of her and looks directly in her eyes. The Sontarian looks over Jenny. Chuck figures that he was assessing Jenny.

For a minute, there is stillness between the two individuals as they standing in front of each other. Chuck realizes that there is no sound on this video feed. He close his eyes and allow the flash to happen. Chuck open his eyes with the ability to read lips.

"I am General Caal, the leader of the 590th division of the Sontarian army. May I have the pleasure of knowing who I am addressing to?" states the soldier.

"General. My name is Jenny." said Jenny as she extends her hand to the General.

"Jenny. It seems like such a common name." The General simply dismiss the offer to shake Jenny's hand. Jenny looks at him and looks at her hand. She simply shrugs as if she was not offended.

"Is it? I never noticed." said Jenny. "It is not like Caal. But I like it."

"It does not matter. I am assuming that you are here to plead for the lives of your rebel friends."

"Plead?" said a confused Jenny. "I never thought of that. Would it work?"

"No." answers the General with a smile.

"I did not think so. All of you Sontarians are the same." remarks Jenny.

"Excuse me?" Jenny shakes her head as if she did something bad.

"My apologies. I did not mean to generalize the whole species. That is just plain rude."

"Apologies are not necessary. You have encountered the Sontarian race." remarks General Caal.

"It was a long time ago. They were trying to conquer a poor and defenseless race. It was almost a bloodbath if I was not there." remembers Jenny.

"You defeated an Sontarian soldier."

"No. Not a soldier. The whole platoon." corrects Jenny to the General.

General Caal take a step back. Chuck smiles. He did not expect that to come out of her mouth. Chuck imagines that the General didn't expect that.

"Congratulation. You defeated an incompetent leader. It is best to eliminate such a fool from the Sontarian race." said the General.

"Really. I thought having Blood Thirsty as a title would be held in a higher regards." comments Jenny with disappointment.

Chuck could see that General Caal is trying to keep his emotion in check. Chuck could see that there is a small shake in his left arm.

"Let's hear your terms of surrender." General Caal simply said.

"I hate to say this, but I am not here to negotiates any term of surrender. I am not here to plead for my life or any other. I am here to simply allow you and your platoon to leave with your honor intact." said Jenny.

"You think that you alone will defeat us." said General Caal as he looks over Jenny again like he is missing some sort of vital information about this situation.

"Yes. I do."

"Well. I will say that we decline this offer and will proceed with our invasion." said General Caal. He turns around and starts to walk back to his platoon.

Chuck could feel his heart stop at this sight. He loosk around and notices that no one is really paying attention to his situation. No one really know what is happening. Chuck place his attention back on the scene.

"That is too bad." said Jenny

The female Time Lord takes out a big red ball. She starts to bounce the ball on the ground. General Caal stop walking. He stands there for a moment. He turns around to see the bouncing red ball in Jenny's hand.

"What are you doing?" ask the General.

"I am figuring out which of your battleship I will destroy." comments Jenny as she look up in the sky at the flying battleships. She start to resume to bounce her ball.

"Are you being serious?"

"General. We are on a battlefield. Now is not the time for humor. I however would not object to a good joke." said Jenny.

General Caal looks at Jenny. Chuck could see his eyes simply assess Jenny.

"You are correct. We are on a battlefield. I must apologize. I am not taking you seriously." said the General as he try to keep his cool.

"But you know better."

"Yes." confirms the General.

"Why?" ask Jenny as she continue to bounce the red ball

"Because defeat can happen at anytime by anyone." said the General. Jenny stop bouncing her ball. Her smile disappears. She looks at the General.

"You are smarter than the other general." complements Jenny to the General.

"I believe that the Sontarian army is the best army in the entire galaxy. However, history shown many battles won in various matters by various individuals. Every species have the capability to be a formidable foe. What I do love is find that foe."

"No, you do not." said Jenny as she corrects the General. "You love defeating that foe."

"Yes."

"You know that defeating a formidable foe only makes you a better soldier."

"Yes." Chuck could feel a chill going up his back as he see a smile forming on the General's face

"You know that one day, you and your army will have to fight the unbeatable foe and you know that deep down that your army…your species is not ready." said Jenny. The General's smile disappear once he heard the words coming out of Jenny's mouth.

"We are not."

"I really do hate to say this… but the day is here." said Jenny.

The General simply stares at Jenny.

"One of two things is going to happen. You leave or you leave with the shame of defeat that you will feel for the rest of your days. Even after everyone forgets about this battle, you and your soldiers will feel it deep in your bones." states Jenny.

"You think that you can stop us?" ask the Sontarian General

"Yes."

"I would like to have the honor in proving you wrong."

"I will give you five minutes for you to change your mind. By then, I will know which ship to throw this ball at." said Jenny as she shows the red ball to the General.

"You will defeat us with that ball?"

"Yes." said Jenny.

"Goodbye Jenny. It will be my pleasure in destroying this rebel base." The General turns around and start to walks away from Jenny.

"Goodbye General. Your defeat will not be my pleasure." said Jenny as she watches the General walk back to his battleship as she bounces her red ball.

"She has grapefruits. That is what she has. Grapefruits." said Chuck in astonishment.

"Hey, Chuck!" yells out Rupert. Chuck snaps out of his absorption of the scene that just unfolded on the video feed.

"Red Queen wants to have some words with you." said Rupert.

Chuck looks back at the video feed. He sees Jenny simply bouncing the red ball. She had confidence in what she is doing. He should do the same. He walks away from the video feed to find the Red Queen.

Chuck watches as individuals walks into the teleportation booth. He watches as the person vanish. Chuck could not help but squeal in delight to himself.

"I am assuming that you have not seen a teleportation." said the Red Queen.

"No. This is something that I have never thought that I would see in my lifetime, but I have always wish for it." said Chuck with a goofy smile. He approaches the booth. He lightly touches it like he is afraid that he may break it. Once he touches it, he nearly squeals again.

"I assume that you would have seen it during your travels with Jenny." remarks the Red Queen as the evacuation of the rebel base continue.

"To be perfectly honest with you, I am only been with her for a few days. Even then, I am here by accident." said Chuck.

"Really?"
"Yeah. If I had my way, I would be..." Chuck stop and had to chuckle. "I would probably still be doing the same thing."

"Sounds like you live an exciting life."

"Sometimes too much."

"So, you are here by accident." comment the Red Queen. "I can understand that."

"Really?"
"Yes. I found myself with her father simply by accident."

"Her father!? You knew her father?"
"Yes. I used to travel with her father."

"When you say traveled, you mean traveled to Reno or traveled to a black hole."

"I mean traveled to a place where I ran for my life because I was being chased by a Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"Wow. The apple doesn't fall that far from the tree." said Chuck.
"No. I had no doubts that it did." said the Red Queen. "It is nice to know that she is out there doing the same thing that her father does."

Both individuals continue to watch as the evacuation continues until finally there was only four people left in the building: Chuck, the Red Queen, and her guards.

"Do it now." command the Red Queen.

"Yes, mum." said the guards. Both guards walk back to her ship.

"Do you know why I have you here, Chuck?" asks the Red Queen.

"No. I was wondering about that."

"I have you here because I did not want you to watch the video feed of Jenny dealing with the Sontarians."

"Why?"
"I am sure that you have an ideal version in your mind on what Jenny is. I rather that you did not lost that." answers the Red Queen.

Chuck looks at the Red Queen.

"I saw my future wife killed an unarmed man. He was a bad guy, but he was still unarmed. I saw a man, a man that I admired before he turn into a bad guy, killed my dad. I really don't hold people on a pedestal anymore." said Chuck.

"You are an odd duck." remarks the Red Queen. "Something like that change an individual."
"Sarah explained everything and I trust her. I also was able to captured my dad's killer. That helps. It is also true what they say: It helps to have good friends that can help you through the dark times."

The Red Queen looks at Chuck.

"I can see why she likes you."

Chuck watch as the guards carry two boxes into Jenny's ship.

"What are they doing?"
"They are putting gifts into Jenny's ship."
"Why?"

"Today is the last day that I will see Jenny."

"What?"

You know that everything is deteriorating. If we do not find out what the Dictator did in the past to change everything, everything will end today. If Jenny finds out what has happened and fix it, everything will go back to normal. I unfortunately will have no memory of this happening and Jenny will never be able see me again."
"Why not?"

"I have condition. Let us leave it like that." answers the Red Queen.

"OK."

"I want to give Jenny something for her travels. Things that I am positive that would assist her in her travels. There are a lot of bad things out in the universe and I am certain that she will encounter them head on. I just want to make sure that she is prepared."

"Oh."

"Charles. It is time for you to go."

"What about you?"

"Someone has to stay here and make sure that the booths are deactivated to the point that the enemy cannot use it against us." explains the Red Queen. "These guards are here to help me to that. They are also here to protect me if necessary.

"You do realize that there is an invading army out there."

"Yes. If things go the way they are supposed to, we will not have to worry about the army. It's the protocols that we will have to worry."

"What protocols?"

"There are protocols set up for every situation that the Dictator has set up. What is going to happen today will set off those chains of protocols. In order to have any success against these protocols, we need this command center."

"Whoa. Hold on. I think I am coming a little late to this party. Why do we need a command center?"

"Sorry. I am just used to people simply follow my orders without any question."

"Oh."

"This base will be my command center as I coordinate the various battles that will erupt. In order for the invasion onto the palace to occur, I have to ignite battles at various points on the planet."

"Oh."

"The Dictator's protocol states that if needed, part of his army at the palace can be send out to assist. That is what is going to happen. Thus reducing the number of soldiers against our invading force. In order to make sure that it works, I must coordinate everything here. That is another reason why I am staying."

"OK. What about Jenny?" ask Chuck.

"She will join you later. But she will have to take care of one problem in order for this plan to work."

"I can stay."

"No. You will be needed. Something tells me that the invading force onto the palace will need you."

"Alright. Just know that I offered to stay and help."

"Noted. Now get in there and help Rupert." commands the Red Queen.

Chuck nod as he walks into the booth. He stands very still as the Red Queen activates the booth.

"Good bye, Charles. I am so glad to have met you." said the Red Queen.

Chuck disappears, leaving the Red Queen alone in the abandoned base with her guards.
