It was late and everybody in town had already left. Most of the crew had already headed back to moya, with the exception of John and Aeryn. They were both soaked to the bone, still staring at KJ's grave site. John slowly nuzzled Aeryn in the neck and asked,
"You okay?"
"I Fine."
"No, you're not."
"Then why did you ask." She pulled away.
"Aeryn."
"No, I'm tired John. I'm tired of talking, and I'm tired of trying."
John slowly walked towards her.
"I failed him John. I failed him when he needed me most..."
"But you didn't. You were always there for KJ when he needed you. So stop beating yourself up about that. KJ wouldn't want you too."John said cutting Aeryn off. Trapping her face between his hands slowly wiping the tears and rain from her cheeks.
"It still hurts. Everyone I love is dying and there is nothing I can do about it."
"I know it seems that way, but you know what?"
"What?"
"As long as I have air in my lungs, I will always be there for you." He started to pull her into a tight hug, but stopped by the look of pain across her face.
"You okay."
"Fine, just a sharp pain."
"Yeah, right. Let's get you out of this rain, so you can get some rest."
"No rest for the weary John."
John chuckled as he led them both back to the warmth of the pod.

The crew were in command waiting for John and Aeryn to return. Dargo was interigating Jocan thinking he had some part in KJ's death.
"Jocan, I thought he was after Aeryn."He said accusingly
"He is. I suspect the Torturous one thinks Aeryn is a liability to him alive so he ordered her killed."
"Then why did they shoot KJ?"
"I don't think they ment too. KJ was just in the line of fire."
Noranti came towards Jocan slowly with a growing fear.
"Is he on the planet?" Jocan looked at her to answer when John came staggering into the room.
"John, what happened?" Dargo said steadying John on his feet.
"We were entering the Docking Bay when Aeryn went nuts. Things started shaking and flying across the room. When I went over to calm her down, she looked at me, and sent me flying across the room."
Jocan immediatly went for the door, but was intervened by Dargo.
"Where are you going."
"She knows!"
"She knows what?"
"She knows his base is on the planet. She must have read my thoughts while she was docking the ship. I have to stop her before it's to late."
"Why? I think she deserves the right to kill the Frellnik. I mean after what he did to KJ."Chiana piped in.
"She is using to much power. If I don't stop her, she'll keep gaining and gaining more power until she goes into a coma and die."
"How the hell are we going to stop her?"John asked.
"I don't know. I'm hoping her love for you will bring her back from the Darkness she's in."
"Okay, but I hope you know what you're doing. Because it's like what they say, Hell hath no Fury, like a woman scorned."

Aeryn could feel the fury inside her, feeding itself by whispering all the things she could do to the scientist that made her life so miserable, *Kranick Nife*(better known as the torturous one). She could feel her self being drawn further away by it. It enveloped her like a cloud of darkness, all coherent thoughts started to slip away. Fury was here, and it was planning on staying.
Landing in a clearing Aeryn stepped out of the pod. The wind around her picked up speed. It flowed like a devil wind enclosing her in the middle. She stared in a trance looking at the place where the nightmare began. It was a one story building that was heavily guarded.
She stood as the last of what use to be Aeryn Sun slowly disappeared into a faded memory. Leaving nothing but mindblowing rage. Her pupils that were once a steel grey, was replace with a red hue that glowed as she made her way towards the buildings entrance.

"Dr. Nife."
"This better be important Commander Verc."
"We have a situation down here sir, it's regarding Aeryn Sun."
"What of Aeryn Sun."
"She heading this way sir, what shall we do?"
"Frell!! You were suppose to exterminate her Commander." Running towards the entrance he shouted one last thing into his coms. "Sound all alarms."
As the alarms sounded as guards scramble around the entrance of the building, they took aim as Kranick stepped forward.
"Stop where you are Aeryn Sun, or I'll order my men to fire. I'm surprised that you are alive." Kranik said glaring at one of his assasins."I'll make sure that they take care of the job this time."
Aeryn stopped to look at Kranik, and what he saw terrified him. It was the look of death. His death. Tears started to run down her cheeks as she began laughing, a deep throaty sound that intensified as the laugh grew harder. Some of the guards backed up nervously. All of a sudden the laugher stopped just as it began. Silence fell over the place.
"Are you ready to die?," Aeryn asked.
