Corso clenched his teeth so hard he might shatter them. He looked at Sonny. He was tense, his fists clenched to the point of going white. If he didn't act soon, Sonny would make mistakes that would cost him dearly. He turned to Bennett "Trace that signal, NOW." He said. Hawk approached them.
"Maybe I can help?" He asked. Corso nodded, managing a small smile.
"Get to it, I'll handle this." He said, and touched Sonny's right arm. Sonny didn't even move, just staring at the screen. Corso gently placed his hands on his shoulders. He needed to get Sonny out of here."Let's talk somewhere more privately." He suggested mildly. Sonny could only nod, still reeling from what just happened. Corso placed an arm around his shoulders and led him away.

As they reached the cabin, Corso took command. They both knew Sonny was in no state to lead right now.
"Sonny… " Corso started as he pulled him close. Sonny didn't respond, completely in shock. He was utterly lost, putting his head in his hands.
"Please tell me this is a nightmare." Sonny muttered. Corso looked at him with compassion.
"I wish I could… I never saw you like this. We have to stop him and get your family back safe." Corso said. Sonny nodded. But as Corso saw he was scared. "I have to go." He said, looking very defeated. Corso wouldn't allow it.
"Let me handle this. I promised you I would help you whatever it takes and I'll do it right now." He said. Sonny let go of him.
"Corso, you don't understand." He tried. Corso stopped him.
"You're not going to do this, it's too dangerous. I'll go." He said. Sonny nodded.
"You're right. I can't do this." He managed. Corso nodded.
"I'll save them. They're my family too, soon." He smiled. Sonny nodded, still struggling to relax. "Lay down, let's ease some of your tension, first." Sonny nodded, and laid down. Corso smiled as he gave Sonny some herbal tea he brewed to help him sleep before he got to work. Corso carefully tucked him in. Sonny needed his rest, and he needed to get to work. With Hawk And Artie's help, he would find this bastard and get their family home safe. As he left the cabin to prepare for the rescue, he hung a note on the door, warning anyone not to disturb Sonny.

The plan for the rescue came together fast. Corso talked with Solaris and Aaraya and Hawk worked with the Pirates to get all the data. Corso would work with Solaris, to free Callie, D'Jok, Mei and Iris. Artie and Bennett would stay behind on Stellar Unix with Sonny, who would work with Aaraya and the Paladins on gathering intel on Jar'Eel. They all tried to avoid detection. Corso managed to put the tracker on his own transmitter. Soon, he had a team of Paladins and Pirates, prepared to go to Genesis. Sonny and Corso discussed the possibility that Sonny and Callie's home was supervised so it probably wasn't safe. The same went for Shiloh Security. There was only one location left; Mei and D'Jok's home. They carefully sent a team. Aaraya could sense Sonny feeling uneasy but his back was against the wall. As Corso and his team got ready, he looked at Sonny.
"I'll let you know as soon they're safe. Work with Aaraya, She can help you with the information. I don't want you anywhere near Jar'Eel." He said, hands on Sonny's shoulders. Sonny nodded.
"Stay safe and bring them all back." He said. Corso nodded with a smile.
"I promise. Everything will be fine." He said. Sonny nodded before the team entered the portal to Genesis. As soon as it closed, Sonny looked at his remaining people. He wasn't sure what to say to them.

Corso's team, together with Coran, Zarind and Solaris carefully exited the portal in D'Jok's room. A picture on the wall caught Corso's eye. Sonny and Maya in deep conversation. There were also pictures of Sonny with Mei, and D'Jok, the day D'Jok proposed to her. Then, there was the picture of Sonny, with baby Iris. He looked so calm and peaceful. Sonny had been robbed of being there with his own son. Corso snapped out of it, as Otis, Kate and Stevens looked at him. Stevens pulled up a tracker. Corso nodded. The signal wasn't in this house. He looked at Coran.
"Where should we look?" Corso asked the paladin. Solaris was levitating, using her powers to track them.
"I connected mentally with Mei. She managed to see things when they were taken. Coran, can you help me? We don't have locator beacons here, so we only have my vision to go on." She said. Coran nodded. Minutes later, the Pirates could see a clear image of an office building they knew too well.
"Technoid's main office building, of course." Corso muttered. Solaris grinned. "I have the data from Sub Level 12. This map will help us with the rest of the floors as well." She said. The next few hours, they went through each level, checking the heat signatures. Corso sighed.
"The building has fifty-four stories, let's get to it." He said. That moment, Hawk checked in with the data he and Artie found. Artie looked over the hologram.
"Wait, I found them and… We've been there once." He said, sounding insecure. Corso realized where Artie meant.
"The reservoirs again?" Corso growled. Artie nodded. "Bubbles again, too?" Artie shook his head.
"No, it's further into the reservoir. A big empty tank with thick steel walls. Your transmitter won't work in there." Artie said. Corso smiled.
"I upgraded it so it won't be a problem." Corso said. Artie grinned.
"Aaraya is informing Sonny on Jar'Eel and The Bleylocks. I hope he wasn't too worried." Artie wondered. Corso nodded.
"If you got any plans for how we can enter the reservoirs undetected, now would be a good time to share." Corso said. Artie smiled as he started the transfer.

Jar'Eel checked the time. No response from The Pirates yet. They were trying to come up with a plan. That wouldn't work. As soon as they reached Sonny's family, they would be gassed. Jar'Eel chuckled as he prepared the next step in his plan. Mole or not. The rat in The Flux Society would also pay a price.

Sonny read through the information Aaraya had presented him. Jar'Eel and D'Jok were just five months apart… This made him uncomfortable. Aaraya looked at him.
"Everything will be fine. I've seen into the future. Kind of like Maya does." She said. Sonny smiled for a second.
"Maya's visions are growing stronger. I learned a lot about D'jok's upbringing from her. I really missed out." He confessed. Aaraya smiled.
"You were there for him when he needed you, that's what matters." She chuckled. Sonny nodded.
"I see myself in him, more than I want to sometimes admit." He said. Aaraya nodded. Then, she had an idea.
"I can show you the vision I had, so you can prepare yourself" She said. Sonny looked at her.
"He's your son. I wish I could tell you he would be alright, but I can't." He said. Aaraya looked at him.
"Just because he is my son should mean I can forgive him for what he's doing. Same for Bleylock being my husband." She said, looking away. Sonny nodded.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know what that was like." He said. Aaraya nodded.
"Now, what was this vision you were talking about?" He asked. Aaraya put her hand on Sonny's forehead. He gasped. He had to do something to stop this. As Aaraya took her hand of his forehead, Sonny was breathing heavily.
"I have to go, I'm taking Bennett and Artie with me." He said. Aaraya nodded.
"I'm coming with too. I may be able to stop my son." She said. Sonny nodded. He was about to head to his ship, when Aaraya stopped him.
"He'll probably try to gas you. I've got something to stop it. It will make you permanently immune to it." She said. Sonny thought it over for a second. Then, slowly, a grin formed on his face.
"Let's do it." He said. Aaraya smiled as she took a syringe from a box.
"There, this should make things easier." She said as she injected the content into him. It was a good feeling. He called Artie, Bennett, Davison and Zoltar to the command center. Sonny and his companions would be the back up team, ready to pick up the fight. Sonny would rather get himself killed then letting anything happen to those he loved.

I hope you're ready for the next explosive chapter. I'm trying my best to keep different stories going, so that you all got something new to read through this crisis.
Thank you Paranoidgirl, for your Beta work.
This story is starting to near its closing. There aren't many chapters left, but there will be a sequel.
Happy reading!
