Ch7

"Let me go." Jothee argued. They were discussing the rescue plan. They had decided on a silent ambush beginning with one person. It was John's idea for him, John to go in first, however Jothee insisted that he be the one.

"No I'm going case closed." John said.

Pilot: I can see the benefits of Jothee leading the attack. It would be best for Commander Crichton to stay away from Scorpius. Your thrust for revenge may blind you."

"Jothee wants revenge." John said.

Pilot: He doesn't have as many issues with him as you and with what's happened to Avery, your anger will get the better of you.

"Fine let's go."

*Scorpi's ship*

After knocking out a few bad guys (I am horrible at fight choreography I apologize, please use your imagination.) they split up. Jothee was far ahead. He came to a room, inside was Avery. Bruised, gagged and tied. She heard the pulse fire and the door fly open. One she knew it was Jothee she began shaking her head trying to warn him. Jothee untied Avery's gag.

"JOTHEE IT'S A TRAP!" It was to late. The leather gloved hand, holding a pulse pistil, slipped around Jothee and pointed at Avery. She fainted.

"Drop your weapon please." The smooth snake voice said. Jothee let his gun fall to the floor. D'Argo and John entered the room.

"Back off Scorpi." John pointed Winnona strait at him.

"Ah, John I've been waiting on you, She is lovely isn't she." With his free hand, Scorpius lifted the limp girl's chin. "Thinking of procreating a human colony near by? My that would be fun. I wonder what and sebasion- scarin- human hybrid would look like. I would love to find out." Jothee began growling. "Oh I see our young Luxon would like a taste of Earth."

D'Argo stepped forward, but Scorpi put the pistil to Jothee. "I wouldn't Ka'D'Argo, I could kill you son quite easily."

What we thought to be an un-conscience, tied Avery stood. She hit Scorpius with the chair she had been bound to. He was in the floor, she hit him again, and again and again. Tears streamed down her face as she continued. Util John finally grabbed her.

"Calm down, Avery it's okay."

"He-he-he used someone he loved." She sobbed. "He blackmailed him with someone he loved."

John cradled the hysterical girl in his arms and walked away, Jothee and D'Argo close behind.
