Hello all! Thanks for my great reviews!
Disclaimer: I do not own the LXG or anyone else except for Marian, Jarson,
and the Dargonites. Okay, thank you everyone who reviewed, you may each
have a cookie! Oh what the heck, have as many cookies as ya want! Plenty to
go around! Okay, before we start this chapter, shoutouts!
Sethoz- I am glad that you like the story! Don't worry, I refer to myself in third person all the time, yes freedom does. Lol. Glad you like and look! Here's the next part!
Funyun- I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yes coffee is very good. Yes, it may seem incredible, but the league has had many more exploits from 1899- 1901. That's a span of around three years, considering the entire first one happened in a week! The extent of her powers, what Jarson's kin do in her time, if they see him or not and how psycho he really is will be answered as time goes on, so you have to read to find out! Yes, her timing is impeccable, isn't it?
Okay, now, on with chapter 3! By the way, it said 'call me Maria' before, but I accidentally left off the n a couple of times, so it should be Marian. Just an FYI. NOW! On with chapter 3!
"Oh, well thanks for the update Marian!" Skinner yelled as they all jumped up.
"How do we defend ourselves against these things?" Sawyer yelled. "When Skinner and I got attacked, it just kept coming!"
"You have to aim for a sensitive part of the body! The ears, the underbelly, or the wings are where a Dargonite is most sensitive! The rest of the body is covered by a leather skin so thick, bullets seem to just bounce off!" As soon as Marian said this, a Dargonite crashed through the ceiling of their headquarters. It emitted an unearthly shriek that made Jekyll and Mina clasp their hands to their ears.
"Well, now's the time to put that knowledge to good use!" Skinner cried. Skinner turned and grabbed one of the ornamental swords on the wall and sliced off an ear. The Dargonite shrieked again, turned, and flew out of the hole it created. While it was flying out, Sawyer grabbed his two colt pistols and fired, but the underbelly was turned away from him, and the wings were already out of the hole.
"Damn!" Skinner cried. "Is that it? I cut off it's ears and it leaves? Well, that was easier than I thought."
"No, Skinner! It will be back VERY soon! And it will be even more pissed off because you cut off it's ears!" Marian yelled at him.
"You said the ears are one of the most sensitive parts of the body!" Skinner yelled back.
"I meant the INSIDE of the ear! Where it hears! Not the outside! It doesn't do anything but piss him off if you cut them off! I meant like scream at the stupid thing or something! Why are we yelling at each other?" She yelled back at him.
"I don't know!" Skinner screamed. "I mean, I don't know." He said in a much quieter voice. Marian put a hand to her face in exasperation. When she did this she looked up through the hole. What she say made her drop the hand to her side, her mouth curving into an O of surprise.
"Oh, SHIT!" She screamed the last part out. "Everybody away from the center, to the walls! NOW!" She screamed. No one had time to wonder as she ran to a wall and pressed herself against it. They just immediately followed in her stance. Suddenly, it seemed like the entire ceiling was disintegrated as a flock of Dargonites flew through the ceiling.
There were four of them, the one leading the pack as the Dargonite Skinner cut the ears off of. They flew and went after each consecutive member of the team, one attacking two of them, while Marian ran to her gun in the middle of the floor. The Dargonite attacking Mina saw her and tried to fly past, but as soon as it turned Mina grabbed one of her long silver daggers, took hold of a wing, and stabbed the Dargonite right in the chest. Marian looked up and nodded her appreciation. Mina returned the nod and ran to help another member.
Marian ran to the center of the room where her 'Sensor' as she had called it to Sawyer and Skinner had been thrown from the impact of the Dargonites. She picked it up and shot out the sound, which made Mina and Jekyll clap their hands to their ears as two of the Dargonites fell to the ground. But the one without the ears, the one attacking Skinner, did not hear the Sensor and remained attacking him. Marian dropped the gun as she and the rest of the league ran after the Dargonite.
Nemo got there first, slid under the beast and stabbed at the belly as Mina and Marian attacked the wings. Sawyer and Jekyll ran around to get Skinner out of the things claws. This one, even as Nemo stabbed at its underside and Mina and Marian attacked at its wings, still was trying to tear Skinner apart. Sawyer and Jekyll's attempts to getting Skinner out of the beast's claws was unavailing. Skinner was gasping for breath (they could see this because he was entirely covered in greasepaint) and it seemed as though the creature was trying to squeeze the life out of him. Then, Sawyer whipped out a pistol and shot the claws off, narrowly missing Skinner. The Dargonite then dropped him, and at that moment Nemo punctured the creature's heart. It fell over to the side, taking Mina and Marian with it. They got up and looked in disdain at what was once their headquarters. They heard Skinner moan and rushed over to him.
Skinner looked up and said weakly, "It was about time ya got over here." Marian and Mina smiled, while Sawyer shook his head and laughed. Jekyll and Nemo did not react.
Jekyll said, "We have to get you to my room. I have some medicine you can take to dull the pain while we patch you up."
"I don't need medicine." Skinner said, and tried to get up. "I don't need care, I don't need patching, I don't need..." as soon as he got up, he fell back down, where Jekyll and Sawyer caught and supported him. "Okay, maybe a little help could be useful." The league smiled and helped him up to Jekyll's room.
Jekyll walked out of the room about an hour later to a hall of the rest of the league. "He's going to be fine. It was a little hard there for awhile, considering the man's invisible, but he will be fine. I knocked him with some painkillers, so he's asleep at the moment, but by morning he will be his normal obnoxious self, just with bandages and in some pain."
The league sighed, and then turned to Marian. "Well, what do we do now, future girl?" Mina asked.
"Well, in case you didn't notice, there's a big gaping hole over where the ceiling to your library was, so why don't we take care of that, first?" Marian said.
She walked off in the direction of the library. The league followed her, and stopped when she stopped in the library. She looked up at the damage, then turned to see them all looking at her. "What? Do you expect me to pull a ceiling out of my hat? I don't know what to do with this."
Mina said, "Didn't you say you were telekinetic?" When Marian nodded, she said, "Well, can't you fix it?"
"Being telekinetic doesn't mean I can fix a ceiling! I can move objects with my mind, not put a ceiling up!" She started to laugh.
"Well, what can you do then?" Sawyer asked.
"You want to see my powers?" Marian asked. When they nodded, she sighed and said, "Okay."
She looked over at a turned on it's side chair, narrowed her eyes, and the chair righted itself. Then she looked over at some books that we're on the ground, she narrowed her eyes again, and the books flew up onto the shelves. She turned back to them, raising an eyebrow. "Happy?" she asked.
The league, with amazed expressions on their faces, nodded. She looked back at the ceiling and said, "We should put a tarp over that, in case it rains." She walked outside to the storage house.
"Okay. Well, she proved to be extraordinary, didn't she?" Sawyer said.
"With her powers I'm amazed she can't fix the damn ceiling." Mina said.
"Do you trust her story?" Nemo asked.
"I don't know. She seems to know what she's talking about, and she dresses so oddly, as though she were from another time. But I don't know yet." Mina said.
"Well, I trust her. She saved Skinner and me's lives when we first met her, and if you remember, about an hour ago she saved all yours as well." Sawyer said.
Suddenly there was a shout from up ahead. "Mina! Since you're the only one who can fly, can you bring the tarp up here? It's right where I'm standing!" The entire league suddenly looked confused. "Oh whoops, I forgot!" the voice from up on the ceiling said. Then Marian walked through the door. "What the hell?! Weren't you just on the roof? Wait... how the hell did you get on the roof?" Sawyer asked incredulously.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you I can astral project." Marian said.
"You can astral what now?" Sawyer asked.
"Astral project. Move my body from one place to the next. Well, move my astral body from one place to the next, anyway." They just stared dumbfoundedly at her. She sighed. "Okay, another demonstration, here we go." Suddenly her head dropped forward on her chest. Then, across the room, another Marian materialized. She walked over to them and said, "See? Astral projection." Then she dematerialized and the Marian with her head down lifted it and said, "So how about that tarp?"
There ya go! The third chapter! I hope you enjoyed and I hope that you review! Don't worry, more explanations in the next chapter! Now review begins bribing with a cookie
