Voltron New Generation
Chapter 14
Future glimpse
By Cindra
(Avalon)
Khan, Shaitan, Kari, and Rand all stared in shock at the new arrivals.
"Now what!?" Khan snarled.
"I'd say that Quinn tried to kill the princess and that rescued her!" Shaitan pointed at the galaxy class ship of colossal proportions orbiting Arus.
"Who are they?" Kari frowned.
"We have no information on them or that ship!"
"Who is that with the rest of those goody goodies?" Rand sneered.
"One of your failures, you idiot! Not only did you lose Jenna, but now Jace as well!" Khan glowered at Rand.
"Impossible! He was going after Andromeda!" Rand punched the monitor.
"That is most definitely our twins and he no longer cares about going after Andromeda."
"Someone prevented you from taking Lilly! Who the hell was it?" Rand was beyond furious about this sudden change of events.
"Until this moment I wasn't sure, but now I know that it was Jacen and for that he will pay!" Khan stalked out of the room.
(Castle of Lions)
Keith and Allura sat in the throne room. The most lavish, but rarely used room in the castle, in full royal regalia.
"Okay, people. I want an explanation and I want it now!" He glared down at Eric, Nate, Matt, Jace, Jenna, Christy, Ariel, Andromeda who was hiding behind Eric, and two young men one of whom looked remarkably like him.
Michael Keith stepped forward and glared at his grandfather. "I suggest that you change the tone that you're using. The crowned princess is in no condition for your harsh tone of voice!" He glared at Keith, who didn't believe his own eyes.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Keith snarled.
"The future ruler of Arus, sire. I am next in line after my parents and anyone who threatens those of my family's worst nightmare!" Michael snarled back.
"Easy, MK. He didn't know any better." Hunter hissed at his cousin.
MK's eyes seemed to crackle with fury and energy. "He was scaring my mother." He hissed back.
"That is no way to speak to your grandfather, Michael Keith Edwards Lawson!" Eric snarled at his son. :Behave, young man!:
:He was asking for it, Father!: MK snarled back.
:Michael!: Eric roared.
:Fine!: MK glared at his father.
"That means that he's and you're…" Allura fainted.
"Grandmother!?" Hunter and Michael raced to her side.
"If you're Michael then you must be Hunter." Keith eyed the two teens fanning Allura's face.
"That would be me." Hunter grinned at him.
"Why are you here? Michael won't even be born for at least four more months and you are three!"
"I am here to save my mother." Michael sighed in frustration. :Try less than three. I'm a very special baby, even Uncle Max can tell you that mother's pregnancy isn't on any known schedule.: He sent to Keith and his parents.
Andy worriedly bit down on her lower lip and crushed Eric's hand in her own. 'I don't like this!' She whimpered.
Eric turned around, so they could look into each other's eyes. 'Not to worry, love, everything is going to be fine.' He kissed her on the tip of her nose.
'That's easy for you to say! Not again!' She wheezed, as she bolted for the nearest bathroom.
"We'll be right back!" Eric chased after her.
"And to think that after you did this to her, she went and had two more." Hunter grinned at MK, whose face was bright red with embarrassment.
:Hunter? Would you like a flying lesson?: Michael motioned towards the ceiling with his hand.
:Come on, MK! I was only kidding!: Hunter gulped. He was now hanging from the top of the ceiling with nothing to break his fall.
"Hunter!" Nate and Ariel shouted in fear.
"Put him down, Michael." Keith ordered softly.
"No." MK growled.
"Don't push him, grandfather. You can't imagine what he could do if he really became furious. Aunt Andy and Uncle Eric have traced this back to Great-Grandfather Alfor and to your side of the family. You were lucky that Aunt Andy didn't turn out this powerful. Hell, compared to him Aunt Andy is a mere kitten." Hunter explained while he concentrated on lowering himself down to the ground.
"Well done, Hunter. I knew that you would at least try to save yourself." MK grinned. "I would never have hurt him, Grandfather. I was merely teaching him a lesson."
"Michael Keith! This is no way to act in front of your Grandparents!" Allison Sinclair snarled at MK.
All eyes were now transfixed on the new arrival, a fiery haired vision dressed in an emerald green cyber suit.
"I'm sorry, Allison. I kind of lost my temper." Michael offered an apology.
"Sorry isn't good enough, Michael!" She snapped.
"Allison, I'm having one of those days, so lay off the lectures!"
"Hello, everyone. I'm Allison Monica Sinclair." The young lady smiled warmly at everyone and winked at her parents. "Hi Momma! Hi Daddy! "
Max and Ashley eyed their daughter and then looked at each other.
"How old are you?" Ashley asked softly.
"Me? I'm fourteen." Allison grinned, trying not to giggle when her mother fainted in her father's arms.
"Hello, young lady. Thank you for leashing our grandson." Allura smiled warmly at her.
"Well, someone has to keep him in line." Ally winked at MK. 'Don't they, Tiger?' She purred.
Michael stalked away from his grandparents and stopped in front of her. "Care to repeat that?" He hissed. 'You're gonna pay for that little remark later, my little spitfire.' MK growled back.
Alison glared defiantly up at him. "Anytime and anywhere, flyboy!" She smiled. 'You're so on, Tiger!'
"I am not hearing this!" Mk stalked out of the throne room. 'Later, love.'
Andy raced for the nearest bathroom, only to find herself face-to-face with Khan, Shaitan, and Rand. "This isn't happening!" She wheezed. 'Eric! Help me!'
Shaitan held up two toys a stuffed lion and a stuffed mouse. "Do you recognize these?"
"Where did you get those!?" Andy snarled, those toys belonged to her girls. *No!*
"Simple we have the twins, now come along peacefully and they won't be harmed." Khan motioned for her to come with them.
*This can't be! Uncle Darian was keeping them safe!* Andy couldn't believe that this was happening again. "What did you do to Uncle Darian..." She threw up all over Rand.
"That's disgusting!" Rand vanished.
Eric heard her mental cry and ran to her side. 'Andy! Are you okay?' He found that she wasn't alone and had murder on his mind. "Get the hell away from my wife!"
Andy stopped him from attacking. "They have the twins!" She wailed.
Eric felt helpless and furious at the same time. "You win for now!" He snarled, as they all left the castle.
"Mom!" MK shouted, but he was too late they were gone. "Shit! Great- Grandpa didn't say anything about my parents being captured by Khan and his goons!" He wasn't at all pleased about the way this mission was going, not pleased at all.
(Khan's compound)
Darian lay motionless on the floor of his cell, while two sets of worried identical golden eyes stared down at him. "Uncle Darian, wake up." Jessie shook her uncle as hard as she could, but he wasn't waking up. (I'm scared. He no wakes up!)
"Please, Uncle Darian, wake up! We're scared!" Jasmine pleaded to him to wake up. "We hurt badies!" Jazz glared at Kari. (I know, Jess, but we need him, we're too small to hurt them all!)
"Yes, we hurt badies!" Jessie shook her tiny fist at Kari. (We have to do somethin!)
"Now, now, is that any way to treat your new mother?" Kari chided the twins.
"You not be mommy ever!" They screamed at her.
"Not so loud…" Darian groaned, as slowly woke up. "Did anyone get the license number of the truck that slammed into me?" He stood up and stretched his aching muscles.
Kari was really enjoying the view.
"So he finally wakes up." Kari purred at Darian, as she walked up to his cell. "I bet that you could teach a woman a lot about sensuality."
Darian was in no mood to deal with Kari. "That may be true, but my talents are taken." He snarled at her, his fury had caused his fangs to emerge, and his eyes were beginning to glow.
"So it is true…you really are a creature of the night." She was entranced by him.
"Not so close…one wouldn't want one's neck to get bitten now would we." Darian hissed at her. He hadn't noticed that he was scaring the little princesses half to death.
"I was told that you were cured." Kari arched a brow at him.
"Every once and a while I need to act on my cravings." He used his powers to urge her even closer to the cell.
"Yes, I see…" Kari was completely under his spell.
Rand stalked in the room before Darian could command Kari to set him and the twins free. "I told you to stay away from him!" He pulled Kari away from the cell.
"Rats and I was just about to get my afternoon snack."
"Not as long as I have Eric, Andy, and the twins as hostages." Rand smirked. "Let's go, Kari. We have to check on our other guests." He dragged her out of the room.
Darian turned to look at his little charges. "It's okay, angels. I'll think of a way out of this mess." He smiled at the two little girls. "Did I scare you?"
The two little girls nodded.
"I'm sorry, angels. I didn't mean to scare you. You never have to be frightened of me. I will never hurt you. This is just a side effect to my temper." He held open his arms and they flew into them.
"We love you, Uncle Darian." They chimed.
"I love you too." He hugged them back.
"We scared…we wanna go home!" Jazz sniffled.
"I know that, baby. I'm working on that right now, but I need you to be brave for me okay." He smiled down at her.
"We try." They whimpered.
"That's my girls." He cuddled them in his arms.
(Castle of Lions)
Michael stalked back to the throne room.
The force of his fury sent all of them down on their knees.
:Grandfather! You need to fire all of your castle guards!: MK roared.
:Michael Keith, you will calm down at once!: Keith roared back at him.
:How can I calm down when they have my family!: MK was barely in control.
Allison ran over and put her arms around him. 'Talk to me, Tiger…what happened that has you ready to kill someone?' She looked up at him with her gentle emerald eyes and saw so much more than anger mirrored in his lion gold ones. He was on the verge of panicking.
"Who has your family? What happened?" Keith frowned.
"My parents are with Khan, Shaitan, and Rand! Why do you ask? Because they breezed by your pathetic excuse for a security force!" MK snarled. 'This isn't at all like I saw in my Real Dream, Allison! My family is in serious danger and I'm helpless to do anything about it!' MK held her in his arms.
'We've been in worse scrapes and this is nothing compared to that final battle on Avalon…You need to relax and think of one of those brilliant plans of yours.' Allison reached up and brushed his bangs out of his eyes.
"Repeat that again!" Keith shot off of his throne.
"Look, all that I know is that they were taken by Khan and that means that they must have my sisters, as well as my Uncle Fangs!" MK growled. 'I'm trying to relax, tigress, but it's hard to do this when your very future is at stake.'
"You didn't say anything about your family getting kidnapped by Khan and his goons! Hell, you didn't even see that in your Real Dream!" Hunter was not happy. 'Athena, stay in the Narnia. Things just went from bad to worse!' He sent to his ladylove.
'Grandfather, is a real pain in the ass! I wanted to actually get out of the ship! Don't worry about a thing, handsome. I've already got Rora working on the problem… and we have a slight problem…Mikey's little shadow kind of stowed away on the ship. But I have that situation handled, so don't mention it to MK right now.' Athena Raye Hunter sent back to her prince.
'Shit! Sammy should have stayed home! Aunt Andy and Uncle Eric are really gonna kill us now!' Hunter was not pleased with the news. 'Grandpa can use Einstein to locate them from here! I mean it, Thea, you stay put!'
'I will you just be careful…I love you, handsome.' Thea sighed in defeat.
'I will…I love you, too gorgeous.' Hunter sent back.
:Save it, Hunter! He can't see everything, especially, when we both know the future is never set in stone!: Allison hissed at Hunter. 'Now let's go use E to find your family.' Allison stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
'I love you.' MK kissed her back.
Max felt the urge to rip something in half, as he watched Allison and Michael comfort each other. But Ashley threw herself into his arms and kissed him senseless and all thoughts of hurting MK vanished from his mind.
:Michael, behave…Max doesn't need to see you and Allison kissing! She isn't even born yet and their wedding is three months from now!: Keith walked over and broke up the two lovebirds.
:Look, Grandfather! Allison is the only thing that is keeping me from losing it right now, so back off!: MK picked up Allison and stalked out of the throne room.
:Where the hell do you two think that you are going!: Max and Keith stalked after them.
:I am going to use E to find Mom and Dad! So back off!: MK snarled.
:Not without us you aren't!: Keith and Max chased after them.
:Hey, wait for me!: Hunter chased after them.
(Khan's compound)
Andy eyed her four captors with furious, but wary eyes. "Don't even think about it, you creeps! I happen to be pregnant!" She hissed at them.
Shaitan walked over to the bed in her new quarters and smiled down at her. "You aren't really showing yet, so I wouldn't be endangering anyone now would I?' He sat down next to her and ran his hand up her thigh.
Andromeda controlled her instincts and glared at him. "Get your hands off my thigh, Shaitan!"
The other three men were enjoying the little show that was unfolding in front of their eyes.
"Or you'll do what?" Shaitan nibbled on her ear lobe.
"This!" She slammed the heel of her hand into his nose. Shaitan ignored the blow to his face and retaliated by pulling her to him for a brutal kiss on the mouth.
Andy felt another bout of nausea coming on and pushed him away.
"What's wrong, Andy? You can't fight your feelings for me forever." He tried to kiss her again, only this time she did throw up on him.
"Yuck! I hate it when I get sick!" She gagged, as she pushed herself back up to her feet. "Anyone else want to try something?" She grinned at Shaitan, who had turned three shades of green, and then ran out of the room.
"If we can't torture you then we will just have to torture Eric, Darian, and those adorable little girls of yours." Khan and the others left her room.
"No! You can't!" She raced for the door, but it was no use she was locked inside. She fell to her knees in defeat.
(Lexi! Ari! I need help!) She called to her sisters.
:Daddy! I need you!: She wailed in frustration, as the tears streamed down her cheeks.
Eric tried to free himself without giving himself away. He was sitting in a cell across from Darian and his baby girls. "You are one dead immortal when I get out of here." He growled.
Darian felt actual fear crawling up his spine for the first time in centuries. "It isn't my fault! This all happened so fast! I had no warning!" He snarled back. "See, your angels are perfectly safe and unharmed." He grinned when the girls ran up to the front of the cell.
"Daddy, help us!" They wailed their plea to their father.
"Jessica! Jasmine! You're all right, thank Arus!" Eric sighed in relief.
"Wanna go home now, Daddy!" Jazz wailed.
"Soon, angels," He promised just before he fell to his knees in agony, as did Darian when Andy's mental cry of agony hit them full blast. :Andromeda is in danger!: Eric snarled.
:Then it's no more mister nice Vampire!: Darian let his super strength bend the bars of his cell. *Idiots put me in a cage, instead of an energy cell!*
:Why didn't you do that in the first place!: Eric roared at him.
:I didn't know if it would still work or not.: Darian shrugged his shoulders.
"Mommy needs us, Daddy!" The twins were now terrified for their mother.
"Daddy's trying, angels." Eric concentrated on the lock of his cell.
"Hurry, Daddy! The baddies are coming!" Jessie whimpered.
(Castle of Lions)
Michael fell to his knees, holding his head in agony, as his mother's mental cry for help hit him full force.
Keith, Alley, and Hunter were not as effected as he was.
"Something's wrong! I have to get to my mother!" He used the Sit room table to lever himself up to his feet. "Where is she?!" MK snarled at E.
"I have a visual of her now." E answered calmly and showed them a visual picture of Andy curled up in a ball on the bed of her luxury prison.
"Who else do they have, E?" Keith growled.
"The Captain, Darian, and the twins," He wasn't happy at all and the scowl on his face revealed how he was feeling.
"Locate Uncle Jace, Uncle Matt, Aunt Jenn, and Aunt Christy." MK growled.
"They are currently en route to Khan's new base." E told him.
"And they swear that I get into dangerous situations all the time." MK snarled under his breath. "Activate manual override on the cats and send them back home."
"Even I require a security clearance." E arched a brow at MK.
"Code clearance Lawson Alpha Gamma Delta 1069." MK growled.
"Code accepted…Who the hell are you anyway?" E frowned at the mirror image of the King.
"Prince Michael Keith Edwards Lawson." He grinned at E before he, Alison, and Hunter left the Sit room.
"That would explain his attitude problem." E smirked and Keith and the others all burst out laughing.
(Khan's Base)
Shaitan ran into Morganna on his way back to his prize. "Get out of my way, Morganna!" He snarled at her.
"Hello, love, it's been a longtime." She slinked up against him.
"Not long enough for me! So why don't you try to seduce my brother or one of the guards! It's what you are good at?" He bit out through gritted teeth.
Morganna arched a brow at him. "That was long ago…"
"Leave, Morganna, before I act on my urge to strangle you!"
"You used to do more than that." She purred into his ear.
"Not after seeing you in someone else's bed!" He sent her flying into the wall.
"You still burn for what we shared, Shaitan. Admit it." Morgan taunted him.
"I burn for another now, you bitch! So try your charms on Khan!" Shaitan glared murderously at her.
"They don't quench my hunger like you do." She pouted at him.
"Sorry, this well's dry when it comes to you!" Shaitan stalked down the corridor.
"We shall see, lover…we shall see." She would get him back eventually, but now she wanted the Captain for her love slave.
Eric, Darian, and the twins were now free from their cells and searching for an exit to the room.
:Darian, I want you to take the girls to the castle. I'll get Dromi.: Eric growled.
:No! I can't just leave you here to take them all on by yourself!: He snarled.
:Do as I say!: Eric didn't have time to argue. :Get my daughters to the castle!:
Darian picked up the twins and vanished. :I'll be back.:
:Will you just get out of here!: Eric had found the exit, only to find himself face-to-face with Khan, and Rand who had big BFG gun aimed directly at him.
"Where may I ask do you think that you are going?" Kahn snarled.
"To find my wife!" Eric tried to get past them.
"She's fine for the moment, Captain. You, on the other hand, aren't going to be so lucky." Rand slammed the rife into Eric's rib cage.
Eric ignored the pain and let Rand have it with a series of lightning fast attacks sending Rand flying into one of the far walls of the room.
Khan nailed him in his jaw with his fist and then Rand came from behind Eric and gave him a quick chop to the neck with the side of his hand.
Eric crumpled to the hard floor in seconds.
The two men didn't get a chance to do any more damage, because Morganna interrupted them.
"I have the perfect torture for Prince Eric." Morganna smiled evilly at Khan and Rand.
"Do you mind, Morganna? We are trying to kill someone here!" Khan barked at her.
"But that's just it…I don't want him killed just yet." She pulled out a taszer and shot the two men. "Guards, take Prince Eric to my quarters!" She ordered two of her personal guards.
"Mistress, what about Master Khan?" The guard protested.
"Do as I say!" She snarled back at him and he took Eric away as ordered.
Andromeda paced the floor of her room; her mind seemed to be filled with images of what could be happening to her husband. Her unborn son kicked her, as if to tell her to stop thinking about Daddy, and start focusing on the situation at hand.
:Ouch! Careful, kiddo. I'm having a bad enough day as it is.: She rubbed her belly, noticing that he'd had a major growth spurt again. Andy had to bite down on her lower lip to stop from panicking.
Shaitan entered the room with a huge tray of fruit, different foods, and some chocolate treats. He smiled to himself, as he watched her talk to her unborn son. "That outfit looks like its getting a little tight on you, feel free to change into something more comfortable." His voice was calm and soothing as not to spook his prey.
"Into what a harem outfit? Go to hell, Shaitan!" She hissed at him, not happy that he had decided to come and try to hit on her again.
Shaitan chuckled in amusement, as he set the tray down in front of her. That done he walked over to a closet pulled out a familiar red velvet gown and then tossed it at her. "I took the liberty of raiding your closet and brought along some choices for you to wear." He pulled out two more dresses one of filmy gold silk and the other a silver blue silk caftan.
Andy, much to Shaitan's surprise had eaten all the food that he had brought her in less than ten minutes. "What no pickles and ice-cream?" Andy sniffled. "And where are my truffles?"
"No wonder you're getting so huge." Shaitan snickered.
"I happen to be pregnant, you jerk!" She took the silk caftan and tried to find a place where she could change into it.
Shaitan was now lounging on the bed watching her every move. "Is something wrong?" He asked.
Andy whirled around and glared at him. "Where the hell am I supposed to change?"
"Where do you think?" He grinned.
"Oh no! Not in this lifetime! I'll just have to wear this!" She wasn't about to change in front of him.
Shaitan got up from the bed and walked over to her. "Either you change or I will undress you and put that on you myself!" He snarled into her ear.
"I wouldn't try it if I were you!" She hissed.
"You know how I love a challenge." His fingers were deftly unhooking her cyber suit's fastenings one by one until her bare back was showing and he was given a glimpse of her creamy skin and the red lace of her bra.
Andy stiffened at his touch and immediately pulled away before he could undress her any further. "I'll do it myself!" She stalked over to the other side of the room and was out of her cyber suit and into the caftan before he could see anything more than a quick glimpse of skin.
Shaitan roved his eyes over her shapely form and reined his body's reaction to take what he wanted there and now. "Very clever, princess, but if you recall I have seen you in almost nothing before." He growled seductively.
"Only because you forced yourself on me!" She glared murderously at him.
"You would have been mine if I had killed Eric."
"I would have killed you."
"Remember this?" He held up a choker.
"Stay away from me! I will never be used like that again!" She tried to leave, but the door was locked.
"You have no choice. Now be a good girl and accept your fate." He reached out to collar her, but the collar was shot out of his fingers by a razor sharp throwing star.
"Back away from her nice and slow and I won't have to kill you." A voice growled from the shadows of the room.
:Michael!: Andy beamed when she heard her son's voice.
"Are you okay, Princess…my sis…I mean, the twins are safe and sound at the castle." MK growled.
"Just who the hell are you!" Shaitan was not pleased with the interruption.
"Your worst nightmare!" Michael appeared in front of him.
"Keith!?" Shaitan looked at the younger version of the King, totally floored by his presence.
"Close, you bastard, but my identity is on a need to know basis and you don't need to know!" MK knocked him out, using his mind to render him unconscious.
Andromeda flew into her son's arms. "Are you alone? Where is your father?" She fired off her questions at him at lightning speed.
Michael used his mind to calm his mother. "No. I'm not alone and don't panic Hunter and Allison are looking for Dad as we speak."
"Michael, strip him to his underwear, then tie him to the bed, that way he won't follow us when he wakes up." She searched Shaitan for any weapons, but found nothing. "Dammit, not a single throwing star!" She muttered under her breath, as she pushed herself up to her feet.
Michael gave his mother a guilty look. "Would it help if I said I'm sorry?"
"No it wouldn't." She winced when her unborn son kicked her, as if to put in his own opinion.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Michael frowned when he saw her wince in pain.
"I'm fine, son. You just kicked me in the ribs with your foot." Andy was standing by the door listening for any sign of anyone out in the corridor.
:Stay here…I'll come get you when it's safe.: He growled.
:Haven't you learned anything? I don't take orders.: She stalked out into the corridor.
Michael swore under his breath as he followed her. :You can't run around here dressed like that!: He hissed.
:Listen to me, Michael Keith! I outgrew my bodysuit, so this outfit is a hell of a lot better than running around here dressed in nothing at all!: She snarled at him. :And if you even try to tell me to calm down I will kill you where you stand! Regardless as to whether you are my son or not! Do you got me!: She went over to a monitor and accessed the main computer.
Michael kept watch as his mother toyed with the computer. :What are you looking for anyway?: MK couldn't mask the hurt in his voice. His mother's words had really hurt.
:Your father, my nephew, and your girlfriend!: Andy hissed. :Not to mention the whereabouts of Khan and his goons.:
:Retract the claws, mother. I was only asking!: MK snarled.
:Oh suck it up, you big baby! Gods, you're just as sensitive as your father!: Andy rolled her eyes at her son. :I'm stressed! I say things that I don't mean when stressed out of my mind and might I add am very pregnant with you!:
:So sorry, Mother, but hearing you say that you'll kill me just for being concerned about you and my unborn self stings like hell! Like it or not you are in a delicate condition and since I'm currently gestating inside you I get to have a goddamned say!: MK glowered down into her startled eyes. "Do we have an understanding, Mother."
The power emanating from him was staggering and his eyes blazed with leashed fury. :Yes, Michael Keith. I love you and I'm sorry that I snapped at you like that…: Andy's lower lip quivered and tears pooled in her amber eyes.
MK swore under his breath and gathered his mother to him for a reassuring hug. :Just be careful, Mom. You're not wearing your cyber armor anymore.:
:I know that. The sooner we get your father, sisters, uncle, cousin, and girlfriend the better I'll feel.: Andy sighed.
Eric awoke as he was being chained to a bed. "Hell no! Not in this lifetime!" He used his free arm to whip the chain around the guard's throats. The result of that action caused the mens heads to be knocked together, instantly rendering them unconscious.
"Impressive." Morganna purred seductively. She was dressed in a transparent silk gown that left nothing to the imagination.
Eric ignored her and freed his other arm. "I love my wife!" He snarled at her.
"Why would you want that fat cow when you can have me instead?" She purred. "I'm a shapely, desirable, and beautiful female."
"Bitch is more like it. My wife happens to be pregnant and I happen to like watching our baby growing inside her, so go to hell!"
"Not for very much longer. I'm afraid that your wife's days are numbered." She told him and Eric reacted to this by punching her in the face.
"You had better be lying!" Eric snarled down at Morganna's lifeless body.
Hunter and Allison blew open the door and came running into the room, each held very strange looking rifles. "Nobody move!" Hunter snarled.
Allison stared at the sight before her eyes. The king dressed in nothing but a pair of boxers and her mouth went completely dry. "Are you okay, your majesty?" She squeaked, blushing crimson from the roots of her hair to the tips of her toes.
"I'm fine, Allison. Hunter, see if you can find me a guard's uniform. That way I won't stick out like a sore thumb." Eric ordered.
Hunter left the room.
Allison continued to stare at Eric. "Um…MK went to rescue the Queen." She managed to say something.
"So you and my son are friends?" Eric started a conversation with her.
"Yes, we're very close friends." She nodded.
Eric arched a brow at her, not sure whether he liked her answer or not. "How close is very close?"
"Um...well…Uh…everyone back home compares us to the friendship that you and Andromeda shared when you were our ages." She answered back.
"I'll bet the two of you fight a lot don't you?" Eric grinned, as he thought of his rocky courtship with Dromi.
"Most of the time I have class and he's off training with Uncle Darian, his grandfather, you, and the others." Allison frowned.
"So who's been training you?" Eric frowned.
"Michael." She sighed dreamily at the thought of her handsome prince.
"That's what I was afraid of…" Eric groaned.
"It's really not like you're thinking..." Allison whimpered.
Hunter chose that moment to come back with the clothes that his uncle had requested him to find. "I went into one of the rooms and found these on the floor." He held up two things Shaitan's clothes and Andy's silver cyber armor. "Shaitan was tied up and out cold in the room."
Eric put on the clothes, picked up Dromi's cyber suit, and held it against him. "Why did you remove your armor? What happened? What are you wearing?" He muttered under his breath.
"MK won't let anything happen to his mom." Hunter growled.
"He's right, your majesty…MK will keep the Queen safe from harm." Allison agreed with Hunter.
"Queen?" Eric's brows rose in surprise, as what she was saying finally dawned on him.
"In our time you and Aunt Andy are the rulers of Arus." They nodded.
Eric said nothing. He just left the room with them on his heels.
Andy had slipped into a guard's uniform and was now standing in Khan's armory. "Finally weapons!" She armed herself with an assortment of weapons, as well as high tech explosives which she went to plant all over the room.
:Mom, this is so not a good idea.: MK frowned.
:Yes it is, son…this is a very important rule that I want you to always remember, never leave a base intact.: She lectured him.
:Yes, but we still need to find Dad and the others!: He snarled in frustration.
:Eric knows how to take care of himself.: She glared at him and her unborn child protested what she had said by kicking her in the ribs again.
:All right, All right, we'll go get your father!: She patted her ripening belly lovingly and then glared at MK.
:Go find your father. I have something else that I have to do!: She placed the detonator for the charges inside her uniform and vanished from the room.
:Mother, you're going to end up killing us all, if you don't chill out!: MK muttered.
:I heard that!: Dromi snarled.
:Good, because I meant every word!: MK went off in search of the others.
Khan shook off the aftereffects of the getting shot by a taszer. "That bitch is going to pay for that!" He snarled, as he entered Andy's room only to find Shaitan in a very humiliating position.
"There were five of them!" He glared at Khan.
"Save it, you fool! Where is she?!"
"How the hell should I know? I can't exactly move!"
"Get out of my sight! If you aren't gone when I return, I will take great pleasure in tearing you limb from limb!" He stalked out of the room and past one of his men or was it one of his men. Kahn shouted for the man to stop. "You there stop!"
Andromeda acted, as if she hadn't heard what he'd shouted at her, which only made Khan even more furious than he already was. "Easy don't let him know that it's you in this guard uniform." She muttered to herself.
"I said stop!" He grabbed hold of her shoulder and instantly knew there was a female under the guard's uniform.
"I'm sorry, sir." Andy tried to muffle her voice so she sounded like one of his men.
:I should have felt your presence, it must have been my temper that prevented me from sensing you.: He turned her around, so she was facing him.
Andy stared wide-eyed at Khan's furious face. :Since when does my escaping bring your temper passed the boiling point?: She gulped when he all but ripped her face mask off her face and then kissed her brutally on the mouth. 'Eric! MK! Help!' She cried out in sheer panic.
"I detest audiences!" Khan tore his mouth away from Dromi's and glared at the beyond furious guards standing a few yards away.
Andy felt her stomach and its contents began to roll and tried to pull away from Khan. :Let me go!: She wheezed.
:No! I'll not have you running away again!: He pulled her up against him.
"Let me go!" She gasped.
:Never again! You will be mine.: He discovered the guard hadn't taken the hint and left the corridor. "Leave and I will overlook the female the two of you have with you." He snarled at his men.
Eric aimed a very futuristic looking weapon at him and growled. "Get your hands off her right now!"
"What! You dare to defy me!" He used his whip on the guard and slashed at his arm.
Eric held out his arm letting the whip coil around it and used his strength to rip it out of Khan's hands. "I said let her go!" He roared at Khan snapping the whip in two.
"Let go of me!" Andy stomped her foot down onto Khan's foot.
"You little bitch!" He backhanded her across her face and Dromi went flying against the wall.
"Big mistake, Khan!" Eric roared, as he watched his wife crumple to the floor.
(The impact of the wall activated the detonator device hidden inside her uniform.)
Eric launched himself at Khan and went to try to take him apart.
Rand and Shaitan had arrived and had easily taken down Hunter and Allison. "I suggest that you stop killing Khan or I will break your wife's neck." He had Andy's limp form up against him and his arm was wrapped around her neck.
Eric threw Khan down the hall. "I'm not alone!"
"Try again." Hunter and Allison were out cold at Shaitan's feet.
"You win, Rand, just don't harm Andy or the other two." Eric growled.
"You're recruiting children now?" Shaitan pulled off Allison's face mask. "She reminds me of Ashley."
"And this one looks like Nathan, but younger." Rand frowned.
"Then that teen that saved Dromi must be with them." Shaitan glared at Eric. "Who are they?"
"Go to hell!" Eric hissed.
Michael watched as the situation unfolded before him. :Shit! This is not happening!: He snarled in frustration, realizing that the detonator must have been activated when his mother was flung at the wall. :This can't be happening? What the hell am I supposed to do? Save them all at once!: His hands were tied.
:Need any help?: Someone placed a hand on his shoulder.
Michael turned around to glare at his cousin Athena Raye Hunter. :Why aren't you in the ship?: He growled.
:The ship is in good hands and Rora is keeping an eye on our little stowaway. She was the one that told me that you were all in danger.: Athena grinned at him.
:Sammy Lynn?: He groaned. *Could this get any worse!*
:Bulls eye!: She winked at him. :Now lets get your shadow, my man, and your parents out of here.:
:She's only three!: He hissed.
:She'll be fine.: Athena growled.
:This is Sammy that we're talking about here! She can't resist anything with buttons! She'll crash the Narnia!: MK growled.
:Rora won't let her. Now lets do this, so we can go back home!: Thea snarled.
:Let's do this! And you are to do exactly what I tell you! You got me!: MK glared at her.
:Whatever!: Thea rolled her eyes at him.
:Thea!: He roared.
:Yes, sir! Captain Lawson, Sir!: She grumbled.
:That's better, now let's go rescue our family!: MK and Thea vanished.
(Castle of Lions War Room/Narnia)
Little Sammy sat in front of the Narnia's console and began pressing various buttons. "This is fun!" She giggled.
Keith stared at the image of the little girl that had appeared on E's main screen; she was a carbon copy of his daughter. "Andy, is that you?" He tried not to panic.
Sammy frowned at him, shaking her mane of jet-black curls. "Momma no be here! I'm Sammy! I'm stowaway!" She told him in her best big girl tone of voice. "You look like my grandpa…are you my grandpa?"
Keith passed out cold onto the tile floor, as this latest surprise was sprung on him. 'I can't handle this.' He muttered.
"Grandpa!" She whimpered.
Allura walked in to the room in search of her husband. 'Keith? What happened?' She knelt down beside him.
"Grandma!" Sammy chimed happily.
"What?!" Ally stood up to stare at the little girl on the screen. "Andromeda?!" She too was about to panic.
"Momma no be here! I'm Sammy!" She didn't know why her grandparents didn't know her.
"Hello, Sammy. Are you…I mean, did you follow your big brother into his ship?" Allura smiled at the little angel on the screen.
"Uh-huh!" Sammy chirped happily.
"Are you alone?" Allura asked.
"No…Rora's with me." She giggled.
"Rora?" Alley frowned.
"She's Momma's artificial iform." Sammy tried to think of the right words to say.
"Samantha Lynn Lawson! That is not a toy!" Rora scolded her. She was clad in a silver bodysuit from her head to her feet and had a humanoid face.
"I'm talkin' to Grandma and Grandpa!" She glared at Rora.
"You are?" She frowned. "I am so sorry, your majesty. She will not disturb you again." She ended the call.
"No! Wait! She wasn't bothering me!" Allura cried in protest. "E, get them back!"
"Who was that database?" E sighed.
Allura rolled her eyes at E and glared down at Keith. "Well?" She pouted.
"Well what?"
"Let's go up and visit her in the ship." She helped him back up to his feet.
"No way, Allura! That poor baby is confused enough and we don't want to confuse her anymore than she already is."
"But, Keith! She's so cute! I honestly thought that I was staring at Andy." Allura pouted.
"So did I, love, but she isn't Dromi, she's Sammy." Keith chuckled.
"How long have you been awake?" She frowned.
"Oh long enough to see our daughter's latest creation, a walking talking living artificial life form." He grinned.
"I think that E is in love." She giggled. "Please, Keith…she was so adorable." Alley pleaded.
"No! Besides that ship probably has a major security system."
(Khan's Base)
Michael used his wrist-com to contact the Narnia. "Rora, I need you to get a fix on all of us?" He growled.
"Anything you say, handsome…" She purred back to him.
"What?! Did you just call me!?"
"I mean yes, Captain! I am entering your locations into the ships transporters." She answered back.
"What the hell is going on up there?" He hissed.
"Nothing, Captain…Why would there be anything going on up here? If all of you happen to be down there?" Rora lied.
"Don't lie to me!" He snarled.
"I had a little problem, but I've taken care of it." She assured him.
Thea looked at the timer counting down on MK's wrist-com and frowned. :What is that?:
:We have less than one minute to live.: He acted as if that were no big deal. "Rora, get us all out of here now!" He ordered.
"Everyone? Even the felons?" She inquired.
"Yes! Just stun them when they reach the ship!"
They had less than 40 seconds before the charges would start to go off.
"Very well…and Captain?" She sighed.
"What!?"
"You didn't have to yell at me, I have feelings too you know." She pouted. "Transporting now."
Everyone in the base was transported to the ship seconds before it blew sky-high.
(The Narnia)
Rora transported the badies to the castle brig and MK and the others to the ship's Tactical Situation Room. Sammy was tied to a chair while Rora was staring dreamily at the images on the main monitor.
(Hearts, Flowers, and fireworks appeared on the screen)
"What in the name of Arus is going on here?" MK was not pleased.
:Rora's in love with E.: Sammy saw her big brother and instantly freed herself, so she could run over and jump into his arms.
MK easily caught her and cuddled her in his arms. :Is that right?: He tweaked her on the nose. "You, little shadow, are in big trouble." He frowned down at her.
She looked up at him with her big amber brown eyes and pouted. "I's angel…I no did nothin wrong."
Michael responded to that by gently grabbing both of her little feet with one hand and hanging her upside down. "Samantha?" He growled and tickled her with his free hand.
"Stop it, Mikey!" She squealed.
"Not until you admit that you've done something wrong." He kept tickling her.
"Ok! Ok! I was wrong!" She squealed. :I want up now!: She demanded when she caught sight of their parents. "Why's momma fat?" She frowned.
MK let her up and then cuddled her in his arms. "Later, okay?"
"No! Not ok! I want down now!"
"No."
"Now!" She wailed.
"Samantha Lynn Lawson, behave!"
"No!" She sunk her teeth into her brother's hand and he instantly let her go.
:You bit me!: He winced in pain, as he eyed the teeth marks on his injured hand.
:You mean!: She snarled back at him and made a run for their parents.
Eric stared at the bundle of energy racing right towards him. 'Tell me that I'm seeing things.' He whispered hoarsely.
Andy blinked at the little carbon copy of her and sighed. 'Nope, she's a carbon copy of me.' She rubbed her belly and her son kicked her in response.
Sammy stared wide-eyed at her parents. "You fat."
Andy giggled at the little girl's confused expression. "It's more than that, sweetie." She pulled her onto her lap.
"I only hurt Mikey to see you." She sniffled.
"Come here, young lady." Eric picked her up and set her on his lap. "You are in big trouble and should have stayed home. You didn't need to hurt your brother. He was only trying to help you. Now, I want you to go tell him that you are sorry and then go sit quietly over in that chair." He told her in a stern parental tone of voice and then placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Yes, Daddy." She crawled out of his lap and did as she was told. "I'm sorry, Mikey. I love you."
"I love you too, brat." He reached down and ruffled her hair. "Now go over there and be good."
Sammy did as she was told.
Allison was now awake and launched herself into his arms. "You okay, Tiger?" She looked up into his eyes. 'I love you.'
"I'm fine, Red. Are you ok?" MK asked worriedly. 'I'm sorry that I didn't get there in time.'
"Other than a headache, I'm fine." She sighed. 'Kiss me. You got us out of there and that's all that matters.'
MK kissed her. 'I love you too.'
Hunter had Thea in his arms. "Miss me?" He smiled down at her.
"Terribly, now kiss me." She purred.
"I think that I can manage that."
Just then the monitor activated and a face appeared on the main screen. "I want an answer and it had better be good, young man!" The face on the screen was an older version of Andy's.
"Mother! I can explain!" MK jumped at the sound of his mother's furious voice. 'I am so dead!' He groaned.
"Momma?" Sammy was now very confused.
"Sammy!?" Her mother sighed in relief. "You are in big trouble, young lady."
Sammy's mouth began to quiver and tears filled her eyes. "I don't understand! Two Momma's?" She burst into tears.
"Michael Keith, who is in that ship with you?" His mother became even more furious with him.
"I can explain that too! Khan ruined everything!"
'This is unreal! That's you!' Eric walked over to the monitor and stared at the image on the screen. "He does have a point…Khan did take the twins and then the two of us." He reminded her.
"If he had waited to hear the rest of the details, instead of taking off on his own, he would have known about all of that!" Queen Andromeda growled at Eric.
"I had to save you, Mom! I had no time for further meditations!" MK glared at his mother.
"Wrong! You had all the time in the universe! This happened in the past, but as usual you went into the situation without even getting all the details!" Queen Andromeda glowered regally at her son.
"Just like his mother." Eric chuckled and got two identical responses.
"What!?" The two Andy's snarled.
"I mean, just like his incredibly beautiful, intelligent, and captivating mother." Eric hastily came up with something to save his hide.
"Nice recovery." An older bearded version of Eric appeared next to his wife.
Andy walked up to the screen. "I'm in love." She sighed dreamily. 'Eric, please grow a beard.'
"Hi, gorgeous," The older Eric winked at her.
"Gorgeous?" The older Andromeda glared at her husband.
"Relax, love. After all, that is you." He grinned mischievously at her.
"How far along are we?" The older Andy asked her younger self.
"Almost five months." Andy smiled and patted her belly.
Eric finally noticed how much their son had decided to grow. "No way!" Eric placed a hand on her rounding belly.
"Yes, darling, our son decided to grow some more." She winced when the baby kicked her in response to Eric touching her belly.
"Did he hurt you?" He frowned when he felt the baby kick her again.
"No, it's just different from the girls. It's a little stronger, so it tends to pinch me every once and a while." She sighed.
"That and major morning sickness." The older Andy frowned in remembrance and glared at her son.
"I'm innocent!" MK pouted.
"Stay out of it, son, and you'll survive." The older Eric lectured his son.
"Hello, Daddy." Sammy put her face up against the screen.
"Hello, angel face. Are you okay?" King Eric was now instantly mad at his son.
"I help Mikey!" She chimed.
"Oh really?!" His eyes narrowed, as he looked at his oldest son.
MK blanched at the look that his father was giving him. "I had no idea that she came with me! You have got to believe me!"
"I'm sure that you'll try your best to convince me when you get home." He growled. "Now say good-bye to everyone and return home!"
"Wait! I have something that I need to do before we leave!" Allison shouted and all eyes turned in her direction.
"Allison Monica, explain." Queen Andromeda frowned at her.
"I just have to do something."
"Why can't it wait until you get home?" King Eric growled.
"I can't say, but it will only take me a few hours to do what I have to do." Allison stated.
'Allison, what are you doing?' MK smiled at both sets of his parents. "Don't look at me. I don't have a clue what she's up to." He shrugged.
'Getting my parents married, so that I'll be born on schedule!' She hissed back.
MK's eyebrows shot up in response to her answer. "You have my word that after this is done no one will be any the wiser." He told his parents.
"You have four hours and then Rora is taking all of you back home." King Eric growled.
"You, young lady, will march yourself through that portal and come home right this instant!" Queen Andy glared at her daughter.
"Yes, Momma." Sammy did as she was told.
"Four hours and that's it!" King Eric ended the transmission.
Allison found her parents, right where she knew she was going to find them, in the lab of the medical wing of the castle. "I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you. But, I just wanted to say good-bye before I left to go back home." She entered their lab.
Max looked up at Allison and smiled. "You aren't disturbing us."
"I know the two of you are career minded and all. But you really should start seriously thinking of upping the date for your wedding..." Allison sighed in frustration.
"Don't worry, angel. We decided to marry as soon as possible right after we saw you." Max chuckled.
"You really gave the two of us a wake up call and I'm glad that you did. Now come over here so we can at least give our daughter a hug good-bye." Ashley smiled at her.
Allison ran over and flung herself into her parents arms. "I love you both so much…I have to go now." She kissed both of them on the cheek and than ran out of the lab and into MK's arms. 'Let's go home.' She smiled up at him and they were transported to the Narnia.
'Is everything okay now?' MK hugged her to him.
'Everything is fine, Tiger…I have the best parents in the entire universe.' She sighed.
"Take us home, Rora." MK smiled.
"As you wish, captain." Rora piloted the ship out of Arus's orbit and opened the time gate that would lead them back home.
