Part 4
"Thank the goddess you will help us." Zhaan did a silent prayer to her Gods. "Where is your ship, we are in a hurry," said Zhaan while looking around to see if she could spot the ship that would take them back to Moya. The Moulvaken squinted its eyes, looking at the 3 ship members who began to look tired by the microt. He had woken up on the street with a Delvian, a Hynerian and a brute Luxon looking down at him. Not to sure what happened, he let the Delvian help him up, with some effort, led him to where he could have a seat. He tried to remember, and all he could come up with was some crazy Peacekeeper yelling a language he didn't know and everything went black when the male Peacekeeper had hit him. When his head stopped spinning, the Luxon wanted to know if he had a ship. The Moulvaken agreed into taking them to their ship, since they helped him. Besides a Hynerian always had something of value, or so he hoped the little thing would. He caught the sight of the Hynerian looking at him with curious eyes. "Wuz in it for you?" said Rygel in a very interested tone of voice. The Moulvaken smiled with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. With a sturdy tone he told Rygel, "I will ask, for when the time is right." Rygel just continued to stare at him not too sure what to think. D'Argo jumped into the conversation. "Well if where going to go, I think we should do so." "Fine Luxon," the Moulvaken hissed his words. Finishing his Fellip Nectar the Moulvaken stood up coming to his full height, which was below D'Argo's head. Realizing the Luxon was much bigger and probably just snap his neck he thought about his words more cautiously. "Follow me."
John Crichton came back to reality with a sudden jolt and back into the nightmare he was living. He found himself in one of Moya's cells down in the lower part of her belly. His head was screaming in agony and all he wanted right now was just some water and advil. He feebly got up and tried not to let the nausea overwhelm his senses. John walked over to peer outside his cell to see just one Peacekeeper Guard standing with his back towards John, looking for anything to come near their prisoner. "Hey Buddy want to let me out. Hell we can go get some beers, talk about stupid things we did as kids." The Peacekeeper did nothing, acted as though John wasn't even standing there. Great thought John. John walked back over and just stood in the middle of the room trying to think of something. As John looked around he came up with a crazy enough idea that just might work.
The Peacekeeper hated getting stuck watching a stupid Prisoner but he would never come out and say that. He seemed to be there for arns, when the Human had finally awakened from the knock out gas. He thought the Human would never wake up till he heard movement. He watched with hawk eyes making sure the Human had no idea he was watching, and making sure the Human didn't try anything that would cost him his life. The stupid thing wanted to talk to him; he just stood forward and watched for anything to come his way. The human went back and hadn't made any more noise. The Peacekeeper was getting worried, he thought the Human would have said something by now. But all was quite down in the holding cells.
The Peacekeeper turned around expecting to see the Human to be asleep, but with astonishment he was nowhere in sight. The Peacekeeper reached over for his comm and pressed it. "I need reinforcements down in the holding cells." Peacekeeping training told him to wait; he did not do that. In fear of what Scorpius may do to him if he found about him losing the Human while on his watch, he went and did the sequence to open the cell door. He didn't realize his mortal mistake till it was already to late, for when he took one step into the Human's cell, he felt a tremendous blow to his face.
John thought the foolish Peacekeeper would never come in, but he did and John was ready for him. John let his right hand go wailing though the air only to make contact with the Peacekeeper's jaw. The Peacekeeper stumbled and John took his advantage by hunching like a football player; locking his shoulders he tackled the Peacekeeper to the ground. John heard the footfall on Moya's surface and reached for the pulse rifle that the Peacekeeper was holding onto. John was forced away when a Peacekeeper charged into his stomach, making John smack his head against the cold surface. The reinforcements had come, and did not give John a chance to even try to strive against them. They subdued his struggling by pinning down his squiggling arms and kicking legs. Although the Peacekeeper was holding John down, John continued to challenge them by kicking and screaming. John fought even harder when he caught the glimpse of the long needle coming closer and closer.
John knew if they drugged him again, there would be no stopping and no more escapes for he would be helpless and venerable and John did not like the sound of that. He thrashed by moving his body side to side trying to loosen the grip but his efforts were becoming of no use. "Hold him down tighter." As a Peacekeeper Guard yelled this John felt the pressure of the hands on his left leg grow stronger, he did feel the ones on his right loosen to get a better grip. John took the chance by jerking his entire leg and bending it up then kicked with as much force he had left in him. The Peacekeeper was pushed back into another Peacekeeper causing them to collide to the floor. John fought all that he could and when he felt the needle pierce his arm he knew it was over. The Guard let out the liquid into John's body, not even bothering to take out the needle just to make sure the entire drug was indeed injected fully.
The Peacekeepers beginning to release their tight grip on John, realizing John's motions were becoming weaker and slower. John looked up to see Peacekeeper heads turning into double then triple. With the spinning heads, John just gave up, and stopped struggling. His arms became slack with dead weight, the legs feeling like they weren't even attached to his body. Before John began to submerge once more into the darkness of his mind, his mind thought he had heard Aeryn calling out to him. There was weapon firing and yelling but by then John closed his heavy droopy eyes and went limp on the floor of Moya, once more.
"Chiana." Chiana brought her big black eyes up and looked around the small room. Whatever that had knocked her out was now differently messing with her mind, cause now she was hearing things, Great, she thought. Only when the voice called out to her again, she knew there was no voices in her head. A little scared Chiana called out. "Who's there?" "Chiana look up." Slowly but surely Chiana looked up barely seeing the figure in the vents above. "Aeryn?" "Is anyone guarding you?" whispered Aeryn trying not to be so loud. Chiana knew it was Aeryn by then, she got up from where she had been sitting what seemed like arns to her. She walked over to the door, which was keeping her prisoner at the time. She strained to look to see no one in sight. Chiana went back to where Aeryn was hiding, and looked back up. "No. I don't see, or hear anyone." As Aeryn began to unhitch the gate that was separating them, and said. "Good. I'm going to get you out of there. I want you to stand by the door and tell me if anyone comes." Chiana, understanding, walked back and peered out, watching and listening like a hawk.
Aeryn carefully took off the gate, sitting it near her. She got down on her stomach and layed flat so her hands where dangling. She dropped one hand, while the other held onto the side for support. Chiana dashed when she heard the sound of boots on the floor, coming her way. She jumped, and jumped again but to no avail she couldn't reach Aeryn Sun's hand that seemed so close. "Aeryn I can't reach you," said Chiana in a panicky utterance. Aeryn strained to make her hand reach Chiana's hand. With one desperate leap from Chiana, she grasped hold. Aeryn prayed she would be able to bring Chiana in before the guard came, the guard sounding only mere steps away. Aeryn's face showed the tiredness she was getting trying to haul Chiana up, and Aeryn began to feel the slipperiness of their hands sweating from the fear.
Chiana grabbed onto the side of the vent, only to feel the grasp on Aeryn's hand slip. Aeryn reached out to try to grab onto Chiana's flinging hand, but from the swinging of her body, her fingers that were her only leverage; couldn't take the pressure and Chiana dropped back down. Chiana slammed back down in her cell, feeling the entire fall spread though her body. When she looked up she saw the Peacekeeper Guard come into view, looking at her suspiciously. "What the FRELL are you looking at." The Guard not sure how to react to this sort of thing just kept on walking, patrolling the area that he was assigned. Chiana rolled her eyes.
Chiana waited a good time before she proceeded to try and get out the cell that was keeping her a prisoner. She looked up, but there was no Aeryn. "Aeryn?" called Chiana softly for fear the Guard might come back. But Aeryn did not show and Chiana began to believe she had left her. She looked around the room trying to think how could she get out herself. Chiana almost screamed but held it when a long cord dropped in front of her eyes. Chiana looked up quickly to see Aeryn giving her a grin. She looked once at the cell door, and grabbed a hold of the rope, Aeryn pulling her up.
Aeryn's muscles stained but she ignored it, for with one more tug Chiana was safely in the vent with her. Chiana let out her breath, and helped Aeryn put the gate back on the vent. As Aeryn looped the rope together putting it over her shoulder after she was done, she nodded for Chiana to follow.
"So, Aeryn how did you avoid being captured by Scorpius and the Peacekeepers?" Aeryn didn't look back but answered Chiana's question. "Simple really, Pilot had woken up to tell me that they were aboard." Chiana's face gleamed with excitement. "So Pilot...he's fine?" "Yes, and Moya too."
Aeryn once again unraveled the rope, tieing it to something hard she hosted herself down with Chiana coming right behind her. "You see the Peacekeepers came up with another weapon of some sort, able to knock out a Leviathan and it's Pilot before it can cry danger to the crew. I hid before they came into Pilot's den looking for me."
Aeryn once again walked away from Chiana, leaving her to follow. Aeryn walked into one of the storage rooms on Moya, a place they never used and a good hiding spot. "Oh Frell where did he go?" Aeryn had gotten to where she had left the heavy sedated John on the floor. But the place was vacant, with no John. Chiana looked at Aeryn with confusion.
"Looking for someone?" Aeryn turned around with her pulse rifle ready to shoot. John was standing there hands up in defense. "You wouldn't shoot a man without a weapon, now would you." John walked over, with Aeryn pointed the gun downward. "I would though." Aeryn and John brought their weapons out only to put them back down. "D'Argo." yelled Chiana.
D'Argo was standing in the doorway with his Qulta Blade pointing up. Zhaan and Rygel were peeking around D'Argo's huge form, who was blocking them if there would have been a chance it wasn't just there crew waiting for them. "Thank the Goddess you are all right." Zhaan walked over like a worried mother; she began to check everyone. John walked up to D'Argo hitting him lightly on the shoulder with his fist. "So how did you manage to get here, Big Guy?" "We had some help." D'Argo's enormous form went to the side; reveling the "help" that had helped them reunite.
The Moulvaken that John had attacked on the planet was now once more standing in front him, and did not look real pleased. The Moulvaken remembering their last little encounter let out a growl and went to charge towards John, in a not so friendly manner. D'Argo let out one of his deep growls, and bringing the Moulvaken to a halt making him remember he was dealing with a Luxon.
"Now that we are all here, let's get ourselves a plan and get the Peacekeeper's off of Moya and get the FRELL out of here." Everybody nodded to John's comment.
"You're not going now were John, only with me." The heads snapped around when the new voice that had joined their conversation. The barrels of Peacekeeper's pulse rifles were aimed at them, keeping them at bay. Scorpius walked between the Peacekeepers, baring his rotten teeth. John threw his hands to his side as though he would hug Scorpius. "LEATHER-FACE!" Scorpius didn't come any closer with John's little out burst. "Here I thought you were too scared to come and face me you big old coward." said John. He had a smile on his face and dangerously began to walk closer to Scorpius who was still standing in front of his Peacekeepers. "Man was I dumb, all the time I thought you just would set in your big old Command Carrier sending your stupid little lap dogs after me." John began to chuckle
"Are you done John?" "Now why would you think that Leather-Face?" Scorpius fought to keep the temper down that was beginning to rise faster and faster with John's little quirky comments. "John, I have a deal that might work for you all." John studied him (taking a step back to be safe distance from the demon that made his life a living hell the minute he had meet him.) Aeryn and D'Argo slowly brought their weapons to train them on the Peacekeepers, and carefully began to make their way towards John. "What are you trying to get at Scorpy?"
Scorpius watched the movement between John and his friends. Scorpius stepped closer. "The deal is, come with me." John laughed. "Come with me if you want to live." John couldn't help but think of the Terminator. Scorpius let out another growl under his breath. "If you come with me, we can accomplish things like no other race could ever possibly be able to do. I can make sure your friends well be respected by the Peacekeepers, no longer in any danger. We can find your homes, including yours John. What do you say, will you join the Peacekeepers, John?" Scorpius tilted his head as though he was going to try and judge John's reaction and thoughts in what he may say next.
John also tilted his head but in the other direction, blinked slowly testing Scorpius patience. "What if I say....nooo?" John threw in a shy smile. Scorpius was feeling his coolant rod burn with his own fury that was ready to explode. "John, that is not an option." John laughed. "Well you know what, I am going to make it an option." Scorpius eyes burned into the very being of John, well that is what Scorpius was thinking inside his mind. He breathed in deeply. "John if you don't come peacefully then we will do this forcefully."
Scorpius pulled the Pulse Rifle that had been hidden within his outfit. Scorpius aim was not on Crichton cause he did not want any harm coming to him. His aim was on Aeryn who to had her pulse rifle trained at Scorpius. John with adrenaline kicking in, pulled out his own pulse rifle with quick motion and now had his pointed at Scorpius. With furious eyes John spoke every word slowly , to make sure he understood. "You are forgetting one simple thing." He moved his finger so it would charge. "You are on my ship so that means you are playing my game." John shot the weapon. "In my game I always win."
Scorpius fell to the ground holding onto his leg. Then all hell broke loose from both sides. The first fire started off the other weapons causing people to seek shelter.
John dove to the side the second he had fired at Scorpius. Aeryn and D'Argo began to immediately take out the Peacekeepers who were being dumb enough to stand in a straight line. Rygel went into Moya's vents hiding from the rain of blasts coming from each side. John staying back only to come up to shoot and drop back down when the next wave of shots came blasting. He grabbed the nearest Peacekeeper that had fallen dead when the first shots had rung out in the small chamber. Taking his pulse rifle he shot with two weapons continuously until he saw Chiana and Zhaan behind some containers defenseless. He yelled across the noise. "PIP!" He chucked the pulse rifle her way. It slid across the floor into the waiting hands of Chiana.
Aeryn carefully had made her way towards John. The only reason the Peacekeeper was there was because of Crichton, and death by her she was going to protect him. "Hiya there Sunshine. Having any fun yet." She blasted Peacekeeper coming up from behind Crichton. "Oh marvelously, and you?" He rested his head on the crate that was shielding them. "Time of my life."
John peeked around the corner to see Scorpius gone. He was being dragged away by his lap dogs. John looked at the other door where it was clear. "Go on, get him." John brought his head about to see the Scorpy clone, Harvey sitting on a crate watching the fight between them. "You know you want to John. Kill Him." John didn't think about it, he just jumped up from his place shooting his weapon at anything that moved his way and looked Peacekeeper. He took off down one of the corridors trying to cut Scorpius before he made it to his ship. John didn't even hear his friends beckoning him back. "D'Argo cover me, I'm going after Crichton."
D'Argo had also tried to make his way towards John and Aeryn when John, out of nowhere took off in another direction away from the fight. Although John was shooting his way out, and he didn't really pay attention to what was truly going around him; D'Argo had covered him all the way. He came back up to cover Aeryn while she went after the delirious John.
Aeryn never really liked running, she would fly any day, but unless the occasion called for it she would run it. She knew it called for it, with tremendous effort from her part she gained on the departing John. He had stopped now and was in a crouching position. She noticed they were at the cross section, they were making a break away to their ships. She let out her breath. "What are you going to do John?" John didn't even turn around to look at her, he just simply said. "I want to make sure Scorpius doesn't leave this ship alive." John then turned around, not getting up but just looked up. "Are you with me on this?" he asked Aeryn.
Aeryn looked back to where the fight had first broke out then took a quick look down the corridor where Scorpius was heading their way. She bit her lip. "Scorpius will not survive this attack." She charged her pulse rifle and gave him her famous Aeryn Sun smile. "Let's kick some ass and take names, honey." He stood up, with her following him in pursuit, they came out shooting. Aeryn did not hesitate one microt. They went fast and they didn't give them a chance.
Scorpius fell down without his support. He closed his eyes, hoping he would fake them into thinking he had blacked out. No Peacekeepers stood and John walked over to where Scorpius laid and pointed the gun at his head. "See you in hell Scorpy." He pulled the trigger.
"Thank the goddess you will help us." Zhaan did a silent prayer to her Gods. "Where is your ship, we are in a hurry," said Zhaan while looking around to see if she could spot the ship that would take them back to Moya. The Moulvaken squinted its eyes, looking at the 3 ship members who began to look tired by the microt. He had woken up on the street with a Delvian, a Hynerian and a brute Luxon looking down at him. Not to sure what happened, he let the Delvian help him up, with some effort, led him to where he could have a seat. He tried to remember, and all he could come up with was some crazy Peacekeeper yelling a language he didn't know and everything went black when the male Peacekeeper had hit him.

"Wuz in it for you?" said Rygel in a very interested tone of voice. The Moulvaken smiled with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. With a sturdy tone he told Rygel, "I will ask, for when the time is right." Rygel just continued to stare at him not too sure what to think. D'Argo jumped into the conversation. "Well if where going to go, I think we should do so." "Fine Luxon," the Moulvaken hissed his words. Finishing his Fellip Nectar the Moulvaken stood up coming to his full height, which was below D'Argo's head. Realizing the Luxon was much bigger and probably just snap his neck he thought about his words more cautiously. "Follow me."

"Chiana." Chiana brought her big black eyes up and looked around the small room. Whatever that had knocked her out was now differently messing with her mind, cause now she was hearing things, Great, she thought. Only when the voice called out to her again, she knew there was no voices in her head. A little scared Chiana called out. "Who's there?" "Chiana look up."

Scorpius eyes burned into the very being of John, well that is what Scorpius was thinking inside his mind. He breathed in deeply. "John if you don't come peacefully then we will do this forcefully."
Scorpius pulled the Pulse Rifle that had been hidden within his outfit. Scorpius aim was not on Crichton cause he did not want any harm coming to him. His aim was on Aeryn who to had her pulse rifle trained at Scorpius. John with adrenaline kicking in, pulled out his own pulse rifle with quick motion and now had his pointed at Scorpius. With furious eyes John spoke every word slowly , to make sure he understood. "You are forgetting one simple thing." He moved his finger so it would charge. "You are on my ship so that means you are playing my game." John shot the weapon. "In my game I always win."
Scorpius fell to the ground holding onto his leg. Then all hell broke loose from both sides. The first fire started off the other weapons causing people to seek shelter.
John dove to the side the second he had fired at Scorpius. Aeryn and D'Argo began to immediately take out the Peacekeepers who were being dumb enough to stand in a straight line. Rygel went into Moya's vents hiding from the rain of blasts coming from each side. John staying back only to come up to shoot and drop back down when the next wave of shots came blasting. He grabbed the nearest Peacekeeper that had fallen dead when the first shots had rung out in the small chamber. Taking his pulse rifle he shot with two weapons continuously until he saw Chiana and Zhaan behind some containers defenseless. He yelled across the noise. "PIP!" He chucked the pulse rifle her way. It slid across the floor into the waiting hands of Chiana.
Aeryn carefully had made her way towards John. The only reason the Peacekeeper was there was because of Crichton, and death by her she was going to protect him. "Hiya there Sunshine. Having any fun yet." She blasted Peacekeeper coming up from behind Crichton. "Oh marvelously, and you?" He rested his head on the crate that was shielding them. "Time of my life."
John peeked around the corner to see Scorpius gone. He was being dragged away by his lap dogs. John looked at the other door where it was clear. "Go on, get him." John brought his head about to see the Scorpy clone, Harvey sitting on a crate watching the fight between them. "You know you want to John. Kill Him." John didn't think about it, he just jumped up from his place shooting his weapon at anything that moved his way and looked Peacekeeper. He took off down one of the corridors trying to cut Scorpius before he made it to his ship. John didn't even hear his friends beckoning him back. "D'Argo cover me, I'm going after Crichton."
D'Argo had also tried to make his way towards John and Aeryn when John, out of nowhere took off in another direction away from the fight. Although John was shooting his way out, and he didn't really pay attention to what was truly going around him; D'Argo had covered him all the way. He came back up to cover Aeryn while she went after the delirious John.
Aeryn never really liked running, she would fly any day, but unless the occasion called for it she would run it. She knew it called for it, with tremendous effort from her part she gained on the departing John. He had stopped now and was in a crouching position. She noticed they were at the cross section, they were making a break away to their ships. She let out her breath. "What are you going to do John?" John didn't even turn around to look at her, he just simply said. "I want to make sure Scorpius doesn't leave this ship alive." John then turned around, not getting up but just looked up. "Are you with me on this?" he asked Aeryn.
Aeryn looked back to where the fight had first broke out then took a quick look down the corridor where Scorpius was heading their way. She bit her lip. "Scorpius will not survive this attack." She charged her pulse rifle and gave him her famous Aeryn Sun smile. "Let's kick some ass and take names, honey." He stood up, with her following him in pursuit, they came out shooting. Aeryn did not hesitate one microt. They went fast and they didn't give them a chance.
Scorpius fell down without his support. He closed his eyes, hoping he would fake them into thinking he had blacked out. No Peacekeepers stood and John walked over to where Scorpius laid and pointed the gun at his head. "See you in hell Scorpy." He pulled the trigger.
