Chapter 8-Transfer

A cloud of rage flashes over Trances face, it shatters her calm exterior and comes crashing into reality, she charges at the Native, there's a sound like something being shot out of a tube, just before she reaches the man she starts to slow down, she tries to shake it off, stumbles, looks down to her chest, and sees the dart sticking out. Trance groans the full effects of the dart hit her, she slumps to the ground.

The Native frowns seemingly unhappy with his task at hand, he bends down, drags Harpers body over near the wall and ties him to it "for your sake outlander you had better stay tied up, the master will not be so kind the second time around." The native mumbles somewhat to himself and Harper. Then he moves over to Trance's body, picks her up with amazing ease and carries her over his shoulder. He leaves the Maru and heads back to the temple

Trance slowly starts coming too, she tries to move, but her limbs don't seem to respond, there is a slight burning sensation in her stomach 'must be where that dart hit me' she thinks. Trance slowly opens her eyes expecting to be blinded by bright lights, but is a bit surprised that the room she's in is dimly lit. Lifting her head up slightly to asses where she is. She's lying down on what seems to be a stone slab, Trance groans when she sees that her arms and legs are strapped down.

"Just great." Trance sighs as she tugs at the restraints, her movements halting and slow. "Why did they have to drug me again?" Groaning "my body is never going to be the same again."

Trance sees a man enter the room "Aah Goddess Tlona, I see that you're awake now" Pataka gloats "how fortunate for you." He sneers.

Trance growls at him "Don't call me that, that life is over, I am not your goddess anymore."

Pataka Laughs "So be it.Trance." He says her name with venom "that name does not fit you, you may not look the same, but you should still retain all your former powers maybe even more." He smiles the most evil of smiles

Trance flinches away "What.What are you planning to do" She said trying to stay calm

Pataka chuckles "you'll soon find out, the hour draws near." With that he leaves the room.

Meanwhile back at the maru, Harper is just starting to wake up; He groans "why the hell do they always have to knock me out." Looking down at his hands "damnit and tie me up" grumbling and shaking his head, he pulls at the panel he's attached to. The panel comes away from the wall and come crashing to the floor. Harper grins "1 for Harper 0 for Natives, they forget that I know the ship from bolt to thrusters."

"Okay..now where is Trance?" Harper gets up and head over to control panel "damn natives are in for an ass whooping, I'm gonna go Rambo on their asses." He taps at the controls trying to get the radar up and going "good thing I put a homing beacon on her." The screen beeps and shows a green to where Trance is.

"Hooray Harper 2 Natives 0" He grins, making a note in his head of where Trance is, he grabs his pistol, a force lance and heads out.

Trance awakens from another bout of unconsciousness, the drugs have really wreaked havoc on her, she looks around instead of seeing an empty room, it's now full of people preparing the area around her, and she tugs at the restraints yet again. They are still to strong for her to break. She grumbles to herself very frustrated "this is not good."

The natives stopped bustling around, and bent down into praying positions. The smell of incense and other pungent smells assault her senses, her eyes water and she cringes away from it as physically possible.

Pataka enters the room, the natives stop praying and begin to chant, their voices meld together as one and drone on. "The time as come!! Your powers will be mine, nothing shall stop me."

Trance yells at him "What! No! Your mad!" she starts to struggle more "you have no idea what you are messing with."

Pataka comes closer, eyes lusting for power "I have waited decades for this moment, I will not be denied!"

Trance cries out "but you'll destroy me."

Pataka smiles with maddening glee "that is the whole point my dear goddess."

"You will not be able to control the energy that my body possesses, it will consume and destroy you" Trance said

"We shall see, we shall see." Pataka responds 'I have been preparing for a long time, I shall not fail."

"Now enough talk!" Pataka snaps "the ritual shall start now"

The voices start to get louder, the smoke from the incense, swirl around trances body, little circles of light appear in the smoke, they begin to swirl around in the smoke blindingly fast, and then they slam into Trances body with such force she is slammed back hard against the stone slab. Trance screams out in agony as they rip through her insides, burning and tearing.

TBC.
