A.N.Ok the cliff hanger was so bad I couldn't wait to write again :s
lol. So I can only imagine what you guys must have felt. Well I was going
to make this happen later but I have plans for the later so I think I'll
put it in now! Enjoy
Woozy... Dizzy... where were they? Some place shiny... The after life, that must be it... That meant they were dead. Ha, death, what a concept. Lights became more visible as the eyes became less blurry. Probably adjusting to the purity of the after life. Though the more their eyes became still on the object around, the more peculiar it appeared. Statues? What did they have to do with the afterlife? Then again how would they know what the after life was supposed to look like? Straining the tiered muscles they sat up and realized they were sitting in a room over viewing something. Hands reached all over them self to check that they were in fact there. Arms, legs, hair, clothing, yes it was all there. With one more push they raised to their legs and walked over to the railing to see what it was that this room looked over. It wasn't that far down, perhaps a story and a half. The room itself was round and temple looking with priests doing some sort of weird ritual. On the other side there was a struggling female bound to golden pillars. They were speaking something to her and they couldn't hear over all the commotion. Eyes focused on the girl a little more, and when they mapped out all her aspects they realized who it was. Blonde hair, lizard skin outfit, stunning blue eyes... It was Xev! Xev could not be dead... Could she? No, surely they would not have her tied to posts if she was. They would not stand for this; Xev would not be harmed when they had the ability to do something about it.
The elder being walked over to her and lifted her chin so she could look him straight in the eyes. "You are different from the others!" He said with a devilish smirk, though found it peculiar how she back.
"What are you talking about?" She asked giving him a fiery glare and wanted so much to shove her heeled boot through that smirk of his. If it weren't for this confounded bindings she would, though that was obviously the purpose, to make her do their biding with out a fuss.
"All the others of your kind were very grateful to receive our implanting! Non have fought back like you. Though I could tell from the start you were different." He said letting go of her face and walking back towards the priest who were chanting something peculiar in a foreign language.
She didn't know what he was talking about, but she sure as hell did not wanting any 'implanting'. She watched curiously as the elder put on an ancient amulet and closed his eyes lifting his hand and walking forwards into the gala of men that had collected. Obviously he was picking one, though this seemed kind of a random way to choose somebody. His hand stopped on the forehead of a tall muscular being with spiky blue hair and green tinted skin. These people just had all sorts of colours. The first boy she met was among the priests who were all gold and silver in some way. Her thoughts were abruptly disturbed when she saw the blue and green man who was now wearing the amulet walking up to her. She struggled harder on the bands, trying to find a weak point in them. There was non, she was stuck and his hands were now scanning the whole of her body. Normal the petting would have set off her hormones, but all she could think about was Kai. Tears began to drip from her eyes, "Stanley!" She yelled in hopes that the commander of the Lexx would wake up, though how Stan would be able to get out from behind bars and fend off a temple full of men was beyond her. More tears dripped as the man attacked her neck with his lips and began lifting her legs by her inner thighs. She closed her eyes and let the tears fall down her cheeks. Maybe it would kill her and she could once again be with Kai...
It was then, she had been expecting something, but suddenly she felt the hand stop where they were and the lips removed them self from her neck. She opened her eyes and saw the boy staring at her with wide shocked eyes, then suddenly he dropped, dead to the floor. Her own eyes went wide, no... It... It couldn't be... It wasn't possible... She was dead... this was all a dream... There, right were the elder had once been stood a tall Brunnen G she thought to be dead for so long. His arm was out stretched and his brace had just recoiled back into its normal position on his right arm. It wasn't long before many of the others started swarming him in anger at the loss of their friend. He fought a lot more swiftly then he had before his actual death, and seemed immensely quicker then she remembered. He shot three more and knocked out five before they realized they were no match for him and would have to go for help. One of the bigger priests grabbed the elder as they evacuated the temple. He watched as they left then swiftly turned around and undid all the bands keeping Xev trapped to the pillars. The minute he did so was the minute he received a swift smack to the face. He was stunned and stared down at his teary eyed friend. "What was that for?" He asked in the voice that he had used when he declared his love before his departure. A no longer monotone, I hate the universe type voice, but actually meaningful.
"I just wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming..." She said her pouting lips turning into somewhat of a smile. It was too much like a dream, but after having felt his flesh touched her hand she knew it was real. All to real... She was interrupted was again by a stirring coming from Stanley's direction. Good they wouldn't have to drag him out!
He clutched his head as he sat up, looking around and trying to make sense of everything that was shining in his face. With a groan he flopped down into a sitting position and blinked until object became clearer. What he saw, though, was a dark figure peering at him next to a lighter figure. He focused in on the dark figure and jumped when his vision became clear. 'No! It couldn't be! But he just saw...' "Oh god I'm dead." His fingers grabbed a bit of his skin and pinched. "Ouch!" He peered a little closer at the dark figure, "Kai?" he asked inching forwards in the cell.
"No Stan your not dead..." Kai said in a plain voice, yet not as monotone as he would normally have issued.
"I'm not? Then that means... That means..." 'Crips! Prince kept his word for once, and it wasn't a last minute thing.' "Wow..." was all he could say as he used the bars the help him stand.
Kai used his armband to knock the lock off the cell and pulled the door open to help Stanley out. It felt good to be alive; he had only tasted it for a short time before he died again. The blood actually flowed...
Xev disrupted his thoughts when she ran over telling them they had to go; she had heard more coming through the doors.
Kai threw his arm up and grabbed Stan by the back of the shirt, waiting for Xev to grab on before shooting into the ceiling and lifting them to one of the balconies. When they landed Stan looked over to see many fuchsia- coloured men holding weirdly shaped weapons. One looked up and spotted Stanley golden 4, standing out against his light burgundy suit. They were spotted. "Run!" he yelled and ducked just before a shimmering arrow hit the wall behind him.
Kai lifted him up again and pushed him forwards into a run waiting for both of them to get ahead.
Xev gave him a look of stubbornness as he tried to make her get ahead, though only received an 'I'll be ok'. Her boots clinked against the marble floors as she chased after Stan; he needed more help then anyone. Out side the temple was darker then inside, as the light on this planet was purely from a moon. The silver light shimmered of the two as they ran down stairs to find the path that lead to the moth. They were stopped short when a group of the fuchsia warriors pointed weapons at them from the bottom of the stairs. Many began ascending towards them. It seemed like a dead end until Stan grabbed Xev and then jumped down to slide onto the street from the awning.
Both of them rolled when they hit the coloured surface. She flipped her hair back out of her face to see the fuchsia men surrounded them. She went to get up to defend Stan when she saw Stan get up and stand in front of her. With a wall on one side and the men in a semi circle it seemed hopeless, yet Stan held his fists out and told Xev to stay back.
"Give us the angel..." One hissed stepping forward on the nervous Stan with a malicious grin. "...And I might let you keep certain body parts."
"Xev is not yours! I will not let you touch her!" He stated way to boldly for Stanley Tweedle.
"Your call!" The man responded and took a few steps forwards before connecting with an out swung fist.
Xev was the only one of the bunch that was shocked the men were merely aggravated. She stood and bared her own fist, knowing this would definitely cause another battle to occur. She didn't have time to hit another of the strangely coloured men though, as she was swooped up by too strong arms and watched as things went flashing by. Some one had grabbed her and was running like crazy, Stanley was chasing after with many men behind him. These hands either belonged to a very fast alien or she had once again been pulled from harms way by her savior. The question was concluded when they rounded a corner to disappear from the path, with Stanley close behind.
"This way..." Stanley panted catching his breath and adjusting his hat as he led them through the bumps. "I think we go this way to the moth."
Now she knew it had to be Kai, "I can walk you know!" She said as he was not putting her down though made no struggle to get out of the safe arms that held her over his shoulder.
"Not on these grounds, they are coloured for a reason..." Kai responded shifting her a bit as he followed Stan at close distance.
"Why?" She was curious to know why she couldn't walk and they could, what was this planet anyway?
"They can feel you in the ground Xev that's how they found you in the first place..." Kai stated after a short pause between her question. "They live their lives breeding with other beings and use the colours and shields around their planet to lure ships in. Women especially... They believe beautiful women should belong to them and that any women with blonde hair and blue eyes is an angel sent to them from the moon."
"...Oh..." Was all she could say in response, leaving the conversation to become quite as they tried to find the moth.
They came into view of the little bug pod just in time, for as soon as they started loading in Xev's foot hit the ground and you could hear shouts in the distance. Stanley fired up the moth and they were up with in seconds, to watch the fuchsia men cluster below, shooting arrows and cursing Kai and Stan. Some of them were almost to close; though not close enough. They were safe now.
It wasn't till they were on board the Lexx and heading for space could the three really relax. Xev, however, could not relax as she was still in awe of having Kai back. As they walked down the main hall she spotted something on the upper part of his right cheek. She grabbed his arm forcing him to stop, her finger reaching up to touch the mark left by one of the weird men. When she examined her fingers she couldn't believe the site, it was not yellow like the proto-blood, but red, crimson, ruby, all the normal colours it should be. She looked back up at him softly to receive a light smile she had not seen from him before. "You really are alive!"
He nodded but was unsure what to do; he denied having feelings for so long that it felt awkward to suddenly feel warmth and liveliness inside. He wanted to reach up and touch her face and give her what she had been begging so long for. But Stan yelling at the two from the bridge interrupted his hand.
"Hey love birds! Come look at this!" He stated staring at the screen. He didn't want to disturb them but though it was only fair that they should see what he did.
He let his arm drop back down to his side and gave her a half smile. When he received one back he knew she could wait and turned to walk onto the bridge. Followed closely by the scandalously dressed blonde. What they saw on the view screen was quite remarkable. All the swirling pretty colours had gone from many to one viciously swirling mass of fuchsia in a short amount of time, ever so often a splash of red would streak across the planet, along with the occasional blue.
"They are mad... and morning over their loss." Kai said folding his arms. He had once again taken away lives, which means families would be, one person shorter and mothers, wives, and children would cry out in loss. Only this time it hurt to think about it.
Xev squeezed his shoulder lightly knowing he was not happy thinking about it. "Don't let it bother you, it would have been them or you. You know you can't change that!" She said reassuringly.
Stan nodded and agreement and regretted showing them the planet that slowly disappeared off the screen. "Well I'm going to take a shower, see you two at dinner!" He said now turning and leaving to give them some space.
Kai stared at the screen for a moment, thinking about everything that just happened, wondering how it was that he came to live again and why he turned up just in time to save Xev and Stan. He was almost expecting himself to disappear till they needed him again, though Xev's smack to the face and examination of normal coloured blood assured him that he was in fact alive.
She took his hand in hers to pull him out of the thoughtful trance and she received a look of attention she led him off the bridge and away from 790's cursed rambling. The robot head did even know where he was half the time. So for him to know Kai was here was unlikely. In her room they could have some privacy and catch up time...
A.N. wow longest chappie yet! Hope you liked it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Though I would put out the next one until I get at least 1 constructive review, even if it says yes or no to the lemon!!! One review, next chapter.
