Hello again! I do not own the LXG or anything else besides Marian,
Dargonites, and Jarson. Sorry that took so long! I have got to learn to be
punctual! Also, I kept running back through the story and getting myself
confused! I hope that you won't be! Okay, chapter 2, thanks to all who
reviewed, thank ya, thank ya. Now, on with our story! But first, shout
outs!
Krisian You might not want a Dargonite after you get it. They are very hard to maintain and very spoiled. And tend to reek havoc, but if you want one. Thanks for the great review and I am very glad that you enjoyed it! Yes, Marian does have a cool job. Don't worry, you can have her job. All you have to do is join the CIA, wait till they invent time travel and voila! Okay, maybe not so easy. Here, have a cookie.
Clez I didn't doubt you! Thanks for the review and see! I updated! I am very happy that you are intrigued. Here, take a cookie.
Funyun Yes, I know, Mina should not have made him take off his guns. Not that they would have helped much. More on that later. Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you enjoyed. Have a cookie.
Okay! Now, I am not fooling you, really, on with the story!
Mina sat a cup of coffee in front of their strange new visitor inside their headquarters in London. "Mmm, thank you, Mina." Mina nodded and sat down next to Jekyll. Just ten minutes ago, Sawyer and Skinner had brought in this strange new arrival, where they explained in a hurried rush what had happened. Mina had made the coffee while they had explained. Now it was ready and this future woman was about to speak. She set the coffee cup down on the table (coaster provided) and began her story.
"My name is Agent Marian Bethany Andrews. I am from the year 2039. I have come to save you all from ultimate annihilation. Just today, twenty or so minutes ago, two of your own members would have died had I not come at the exact moment I needed to."
"Very convient of you, Miss Andrews." Nemo replied skeptically.
"Please, call me Maria. And yes, it was convient, because I knew the exact second of their deaths."
"And we appreciate your knowledge very much." Sawyer said.
She smiled and said, "As you have already probably realized, I am American, born and raised in New York City, New York. But this is not about my past. It is about your future, which must continue to exist if my own past, present, and future can ever be cleansed."
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, she said, "In my present, 2039, the world is in chaos. Wars between humans and Dargonites rage through what is left of our streets every day. Your present day London smells so different to me, because I have grown up smelling burnt flesh and rubble, smoke and artillery. Your wildest visions of complete and utter destruction can not come close to how I live. What the world is like. And it is all because of a man named Theodore Jarson."
Maria paused for a sip of coffee. Talking so much hurt her throat. She sat for a second, remembering the sights, the smells, how horrid things are or will be since she was currently in 1901 and 2039 was not here yet. She remembered living on her stomach, having to always lie or crawl by day and night, since those damn Dargonites could see through the dark. Settled, she began again.
"Theodore Jarson was an extremely smart and crazy man. He created these monsters, the Dargonites. He was a scientist until the thought of power ruined the sane half of his brain. He has started creating and controlling his minion monsters, one of which he sent to you two, Agent Sawyer and Mr. Skinner, to kill you."
"So wait," Sawyer interrupted, "this guy is here, in London? This mad man who wants us dead? Perfect. Just perfect. And how the heck did you..."
"Wait, Agent Sawyer. Please let me finish. Before I explain anything else, let me tell you that some things might be rather odd to your ears, but please remember that I am from a different millennium and some technology I have grown up with may seem very different to you, so please bear with me. First, I'm going ahead and clearing up one misconception that you seem to be getting confused with. Jarson lives in your time, now, not mine. His grandchildren and the Dargonites rule my time. He created the Dargonites and he passed the formula down to his children and so on and so forth. That is the reason I had to come back here and stop him killing you, the only people strong enough to take him and the Dargonites down, which he had ended up doing when you weren't prepared or when you even knew what you were up against. Also, to see if I could manage to destroy him and the formula, so that my time could function the way it is supposed to. I had to come back. I had to save you. Your future annihilation of Jarson has to happen, or a peaceful world can never exist for me or anyone else for that matter."
"Okay, luv, ya told us a little bit of his history. But why the heck are you here? Especially considering who YOU are?" Skinner asked.
"Do you mean that I am American or that I am a woman?"
"Sorta both."
"Alright, well, I will tell you. Female segregation is not exactly common in the year 2039. Women can have any job and they have every right given to men. We have worked hard for it and we have earned it. Women are now regarded just as highly as men. And besides, the agency searched high and low for someone able to fill the certain requirements. Which are skilled in weaponry and fighting and all your other random agent preliminary stuff, but there was one more requirement a little harder to fill. That was that the person themselves would have an extraordinary power all their own."
The league looked surprised at that comment. They watched incredulously at her as she took a sip of coffee and began again. "I was the only agent with a special power all my own. I was telekinetic. I know you know what that means. Intelligence had some reservations about sending me, but I managed to convince them."
"Why did you want to go? I mean, time travel is probably dangerous, especially if they just figured out how to do it. Why did you sign up for the suicide mission?" Tom asked.
She smiled at him. "It was the chance of a lifetime. The chance to meet the legends. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure, there were plenty of risks. I trained in secret for three years. But I didn't care. I had grown up hearing your stories. I researched every thing about you. When I heard about this, I wanted to go so much that no danger from a machine was going to stop me. You don't realize how excited I am to meet you."
"Ah! So we're famous in this time, eh?" Skinner asked.
"Not quite. Hardly anyone really realizes what you did, and most people aren't that interested anyway. But I was. All five of you had been my heroes and heroines growing up. I was just so amazed at all you did. That's why when they told me about the mission, I immediately said yes. Because I have wanted to know you for so long."
Nemo then said, "I understand these things you speak of, except for one part. You said future annihilation. How did you know that we would kill him?"
Marian smiled at him and said, "Because I have faith in you. Because I have researched you and have read about all your adventures and exploits. I know you as though I had lived with each of you my entire life, and I have lived in the ruined time that I speak of. I know how your actions can change the world. I know you and I know this is a lot to grasp at the moment, but the fate of the entire world now rests in our hands. It may not seem like a good world, especially some of the things that I know of that happen in the future, but we need it, and I don't want to see my family, my friends to have to live in the corrupt, segregated, exploited, and slave world I speak of. Please help me, even if you do not understand. I myself do not understand entirely. But please help, for this world's sake and for your sakes as well. Please help."
Finished, Marian looked at them with her deep, pleading eyes. Nemo looked at the rest of them, while they seemed to talk with their own eyes. Then he looked back at her and said, "We'll do it. We may not understand, but we will do it." Marian smiled and got up.
Mina said, "You said there was an attack after the one on Sawyer and Skinner on the rest of us. When is the next one for our own forewarning?"
Suddenly they heard a crash and felt the room shake. They heard the shriek of something animal like above them and outside. Marian looked at them all and said, "Right now, actually. That a problem?"
Okay! There ya go, second chapter! And so sorry again that that took so long! I hope you are not confused! If you are, tell me and I will try to explain a little more next chapter! And PLEASE review! Hope you and enjoyed and thanks to my reviewees! Cookies for everyone!
