THANK YOU ALL! Anyways, I know, barely any action, and no, Jekyll did not make out with Mina! (Though I wish he did. ^^) I will soon have a romantic scene, but I will try to make it as PG-13 as possible. Expect it two chapters from now!

Question: Do you all like the fact I made Edie gay? I wanted to make my OC's different, but I don't know if that's good or bad. Please tell me if I should change her in any way possible. THANK YOU ALL IF YOU DO! I NEED HELP, both mentally and in the book.

Clez: Thanks! "Blushes" I actually didn't think it was all planned-out, but thank you! You're so nice!

Etcetera Kit: @.@ I'll try to fix the modern stuff, sorry about modern inputs. I'm not good at that. Anyways, sorry about the cliffie! I just had to stop there! Don't worry! Romance scene in two chapters!

Steffi-333: Heh, I think most of us who hate Dorian would want to do that! ^^ Just don't throw it at me... Anyways, you're welcome!

********************************************************************

It was quite a chilly night, but the uncanny silence made it worse. Being cautious, the League had decided to bring their fighting weapons, but had not really planned to use them at all.

Madam Donatello and Dr. Jekyll had not transformed, but Edie was prepared with an alpha female Hyena, the most ferocious females, yet gentle mothers among mammals, while Dr. Jekyll took at least two potions. Hyde was still fuming about tearing Morse's neck when they saw him.

Nemo had not taken the risk of bringing his crew, leaving them behind; ready to go in case of any mayhem, though Mr. Gray had said he was overacting. His response was to glare at the immortal coldly, which made him leave with a scoffing look on his face, as the patient captain cursed in Indian.

Speaking of Mr. Gray... He turned around to glance at the other two behind him and Allan, whom he was just recently discussing the bomb with.

Madam Donatello walked swiftly and silently, her head up; her long trousers showed her slender legs, which Mr. Gray was staring at intensely, he noticed. She turned around and glanced back at the immortal, who grinned and winked at her.

She had no reason to be on Morse's side, but that had also been the case for Gray. Captain Nemo, with all his calm, patient energy, couldn't help but feel suspicious of the 30-year-old mutant. She had repeated over and over again she detested humans, and would sometimes, here and there, glare at the three "normal" humans of the League. If normal was even in their vocabulary.

Mr. Gray, well, he had always felt a foreboding presence when he was trusted, though Nemo felt no shadow hanging over him. Perhaps he was telling the truth, perhaps he wasn't.

He turned back to Mr. Quartermain, whose keen, almost hawk-like eyes peered into the gloom. Being at night to avoid any signs that they had been here, it was hard for them all to see in the dark; he had just been lucky to see Gray staring at her legs. Nemo scoffed. The other team had been lucky to have Madam Harker on their side, seeing how she was a vampire and all.

"Alright. We should be there now," Madam Donatello whispered in the darkness, starting to come up next to them, as Mr. Gray followed.

Sure enough, there was just about enough moonlight (it was a half-moon) to show the sign of the general store; only one store hung around it, while the rest was open area, so he hoped nobody, by chance, would come out.

Right next to the store was a small shadowed shape: a bomb. Mr. Gray started towards it, yet Mr. Quartermain's hand flew out to stop him.

"Don't move. There's another presence here," he whispered.

"He's right." It was a lady's voice. Nemo whipped his head to Madam Donatello, who frowned at him with a confused look. It had not been her; it was another lady.

*******************************************************************

"Well, that certainly was easy," Mina commented lightly, as they had reached the bar. The small bomb was hidden cunningly under broken bottles of alcohol. She started towards it, Tom following right behind her.

Jekyll hesitated slightly, before following the two, glancing nervously around his surroundings, as he stroked his vial in his pocket. Skinner was glancing as well, but had not chose to follow the three; he was certain of another presence.

His eyes were keen, not as good as Allan's, but good enough to detect things misplaced; being a thief, he had to have them.

He twirled around to look behind him. A small figure stood right in front of him. He gulped, so glad he had not decided to smear himself in paint.

He guessed the person was about 13 or 14, give or take. He couldn't see the outline well; his eyes were adjusted to darkness, but this person had donned on a black outfit, so it blended into the surroundings well.

Sweat began to pour down his face, as the person started towards him. He didn't know whether to sound an alarm or to stay still. If he yelped, that would give away his position; he didn't want that. But, then the other three wouldn't know.

He turned around to try and tell his friends quietly, but he doubted that would work. Still, knowing if a person's there or not was better than a sneak attack.

A firm clunk came down on his head hard. He groaned, dropping to his feet. He gazed up drowsily, stars in his vision. The person, with a long staff in his hands, was walking towards his friends. Now.

"Mates, be`ind you!" his hazy cry came. Mina turned around just in time to dodge the swift blow coming at her. Skinner could easily see her eyes flare to red, her hair curling wildly.

Tom rolled onto the ground to dodge his blow, snatching out his two small pistols and cocked in his hands in a swift motion. His blonde hair was shaken off, but that was not his main concern.

Jekyll also managed to dodge the blow, though not as swift. He dug out his potion, gripping it tightly, as the voice of Hyde came into his mind to take revenge on the kid.

The kid turned to face them all (all four were on either side of it; Skinner in front, Tom on his left, Mina and Jekyll on his right), and now Skinner could see it clearly.

Seething silvery-violet eyes of hated glared out of a mess of long, brown hair that was tied back into messy bun. A leather black jacket, as long and just the same as Skinner's, was around its shoulders, with a baggy, velvet blue shirt underneath. Baggy black pants covered its legs, as a headband came around her forehead.

It was hard to tell whether the dark kid was female or male. She seemed to have hardened features and wore clothes that you wouldn't naturally see a girl her age. Yet, she was slender and light enough to see the feminine side. Either she developed breasts really slowly, or she had too baggy of clothes to see. (Yes, Skinner would of course be noticing that.)

Jekyll shakily rose to his feet, loosening his vest and shirt (he had decided not to waste another jacket), as Mina, vampire and ready to let hell loose, jumped gracefully to her feet, snarling darkly.

Skinner, as well, was prepared for a sneak attack, as Tom kneeled quietly and calmly, reminding the invisible thief almost of Allan.

The girl narrowed her eyes at her assailants, producing another quarter stick from her back, her hands ready to counter any move of her opponents.

Mina struck first. Whipping out her daggers, she began to twist and turn this way and that, trying to slash at the girl's face. This, she blocked with the staffs; she shoved one into the vampire's stomach, heaving her against the wall of the bar.

She whipped around and tried to take a swipe at Tom. The agent was able to dodge, along with getting at least hit at her; one bullet swished just passed her arm, drawing blood.

Yet, she didn't care. She brushed it off, now focused on the transformed Hyde next to her, whom had changed during the small action. The process must be getting faster or Skinner just didn't notice it anymore.

Here, the David-Goliath effect took place. Hyde swiped at her, roaring as spit flew from his mouth. She jumped nimbly out of the way, whacking his large arms quickly and firmly out of the way. It didn't really hurt him, more like a sharp smack a mother gives to a disobeying child, but it made him angry. He snarled, charging at her. A swift punch into her stomach sent her flying as she did to Mina, though this was easier for Hyde to do, instead of the force the girl had to put in to do that to the vampire.

She jumped up to her feet, her hair even more tangled up than before. The four adults faced the girl. Her voice, soft, almost emotionless, cooed out from the darkness, like that of a pigeon's coo:

"My name is Blaise. I am here to exterminate you from Master Morse's plans."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A woman stepped out from the darkness, causing the men to whip out their weapons; Edie crossed her arms over her breasts, ready to transform any minute now.

The woman was actually quite beautiful for 27, what with her long, golden- red hair that hung at her shoulders. Twin sets of glinting blood-red eyes gleamed bright from the pale hair. A flowing black cape rested on her shoulders, as a vest, the same kind Sawyer would wear, was closed across her chest. A tight, white shirt that only reached her elbows was underneath, with tight, long black pants.

She smiled grimly, cocking a pale eyebrow; why did that seem so familiar to Dorian? He searched his brain for memories of her.

"I'm Eve Reamers. I'm going to assume you're half of the League?"

No response came. Dorian started to unsheathe his sword. She looked so familiar.

"Wondering who I am, Mr. Dorian Gray? I was the same person who brought you back."

He blinked, confused. She was the one?

"You said a friend brought you back," Allan muttered under his breath.

"I said that so it wouldn't sound so suspicious. I have no idea who the bloody hell she is!" Dorian snapped back, keeping his dark eyes on her, who pouted scornfully.

"You ungrateful immortal. I did all that work, so you could not remember me?"

"How did you get me back?" Dorian shot back.

She grinned shadily. "Before Richard started this whole dispute, he took at least three females and inputted the mutation. I, from Spain, was given the power to take and give life, along with giving sicknesses. Ester Boiavis, a French-African hybrid, received animal abilities, like strength and speed, along with communication. She's been in a fire, two of her arms burned off; the potion was able to revive more powerful arms. And you've already met Willow, or Ursula Jason. You know she received the power to manipulate.

"Since then, we've been his most loyal of soldiers. He asked me to revive you so you all could actually put up a fight."

Allan narrowed his eyes. Apparently ego at Morse's place ran high. Where did they come up with these names? "Well then, you still can't be all THAT powerful, now can you?"

Her grinned was still plastered on her face, as she whipped out two long blades. She cocked an eyebrow.

"You were saying?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No matter how hard they hit, the girl called Blaise would counter their hits easily and quickly. Bringing one staff down hard on Tom, she took the other one and slammed it against Mina. She took down Hyde and Skinner as well.

She glared at them all, as Hyde rose to his feet. Now he really would kill this girl. He roared, running full speed at her.

"I will kill you, bitch!" Jekyll decided it best not to argue with him. The brute slammed a large fist into her face, which sent her flying back. She narrowed her strange eyes at him, for some reason smiling evilly. She held out her right arm to reveal a large, mutated hand. Four claws substituted for fingers, as the index finger, bigger than them all together, gleamed in the moonlight, as she started towards them and slashed at his torso.

She then stood just about 2 feet from the bomb. The small grin was still on her face.

"Master Morse does not really care one way or another if this town is doomed or not. He just wants you all out of the picture for now. When you all are through, THEN he'll really begin the mutation outbreak."

She chuckled. "Just to let you know, the bomb the other half is fighting? That's the one about to explode. You all have 30 minutes before this town goes 'boom'. There was nothing wrong with this town; they just heard the threat and decided staying indoors would be safe. Think you can make it? They're still fighting."

She gave one more giggle, as she took off. The four of them rose to their feet.

"So you mean ta tell me t`is `ere's a fake?!" Skinner cried in anguish. What a waste of time!

Tom brushed away blood from the corner of his lip. "Most likely, it's 28 minutes now. C`mon!" He then, despite being fatigue, started to run to the other bomb. Lucky for them the bar was close to the store, but still, if she said the others were fighting, who knew how long would it be before they disarmed it? Besides, it was a 9-minute run to the store.

The others reluctantly rose to their feet as well. Lucky for them, Hyde still had about 14 more minutes until Jekyll would come back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edie snarled. Having just transformed into a hyena, she was just taking on Eve.

The female Hyena was known for being the Alpha leader of her pack, choosing the best male to birth 14 pups. Despite her strong jaws and ferocious attitude, she was the gentlest mother with her teeth.

She leaped onto the mutant's back, trying desperately to sink her teeth into Eve's neck. She was thrown off, giving Allan a shot, which he took. Nemo and Dorian jumped in with their swords, which she countered with her own two blades. Oh, how she loved her job.

"Come now, surely you all are better than this?" She chided.

For a response, Dorian slashed at her stomach, as Nemo took a swipe at her left arm. Edie slammed into her legs, pushing her back against the wall, giving Allan a clear shot of her.

She screamed, as the bullet hit home at her leg. She glowered at them all, rising to her feet and prepared to give a finishing blow when she knocked back down again from a large force.

He surprised the others as much as he surprised her. Hyde was standing in front of her, pretty much over-taking her. The brute snarled at her, giving another blow.

Allan looked up to see the others follow. "What the bloody hell are you all doing?" he asked.

Tom ran up to him. "The other one's a dud. This one's about to explode. There is no mutation in both the city and the bomb. We have maybe 20 or 19 minutes. Skinner's already on it."

Sure enough, Skinner had leapt to the bomb, trying his best to disarm it. Allan swirled to face Nemo, nodding and pointing to go help Skinner. The Indian nodded, running to the invisible man's aide.

Mina and Edie were now both attacking Eve, who answered attacks with her swords. For such a small battle, it really was intriguing.
