Falling and Running
Chapter 1
In the Beginning
It had been 4 months since 'M' had been defeated and the League was now, once again gathered. Even Dorian was there. A friend of his had recast the spell on the painting and brought him back to life.
"Do any of you know why we're here?" Dr. Jekyll said. He was seated across from Tom Sawyer. Tom was playing with his gun as usual until it was grabbed from he and started to prance around the room.
"I don't know, but must be important if they included old Dorian here." Skinner was now tossing the gun back and forth between his two hands.
"Skinner!" Tom yelled as he ran to grab his gun from him. No one messed with his guns.
"Well if they need the lot of us then they'll get all of us." Everyone turned to the door. Mina dropped the wine glass that she had been drinking out of.
"How is it possible?" Captain Nemo was also very shocked at what he saw before him.
"Like I told you before. Africa would never let me die, so here I am, and glad to see that all of you survived." Allan Quatermain stood before them looking better then ever.
"Now that most of you are here it's time to let you in on why I have asked you here." A larger man entered the room carrying two folders with him. (They know him. His name is Fredrick Montagonis)
"Let me guess the empire needs our assistance again." Allan took a seat beside Capitan Nemo. Allan smiled at his own inside joke.
"No. The world needs your assistance." This caught everyone's attention. Could they be on the brink of another world war?
"What do you mean the world?" Mina got up from her seat and moved closer to the front of the table. "I mean that with out your help everyone in the world will die." Everyone one was taken back by the statement. World war was one thing but total annihilation was another.
"Who could do such a thing?" Dr. Jekyll said. Fredrick tossed him one of the folders. He opened it and looked at the picture. It was of a man in his late 20's at the most, long black hair and medium build, but what caught his attention the name did.
"It can't be." Jekyll looked to Fredrick for confirmation. Fredrick simply nodded.
"For God's sake what is it?" Allan's voice snapped Jekyll out of his daze.
"It's 'M's' son." All the eyes in the room got a little bigger at that point.
"He plans on making a weapon using some of the plans he stole from a scientist. One of our spies was able to gather enough information on what his plans are." Fredrick seemed to pause a moment before continuing on. "He wants to control the world and then destroy it piece by piece."
"It'd seem like the apple don't fall to far from the tree." Skinner of course had to put in his two sense.
"Yes that would seem to be the case. Anyways as last time you are going to have to retrieve to more members." Allan cut off Fredrick.
"I think that we have all the help we need in this very room don't you?" Everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
"You may think that, but you really have no choice in the matter since their service will be a great necessity for the success in the mission." 'This is all we need more people too worry about.' Allan thought.
"Well then we must hurry if we are to destroy.wait, what is his name?" Mina said. She didn't recall Jekyll giving them a name.
Dr. Jekyll looked back to the folder in his hands. "Nicholas, but it says here that he goes by 'N'."
"Well, now anit that original." Skinner's laughter could be heard. Everyone else was silently laughing at Tom's remark.
"Now who are these two new gentlemen that are going to be joining us?" Dorian spoke finally, since he had a lot of explaining to do since he had gotten there.
"Not 'Men' Mr. Grey. Women." Mina looked at Allan as she spoke. "Well Allan it looks as if you are going to have to deal with two more distractions." Nemo smiled at Mina.
"As sarcastic as that was, I now believe that women can hold their own against the forces of evil." Mina was slightly shocked by his answer.
"I'm glad you have finally accepted that fact. Personally I thought it would take you a lot longer." Mina said the last part under her breath but it didn't go unnoticed by the others. "So where do we find these two?" Captain Nemo was eager to go on another mission with everyone. Not to mention get back to the Nautilus.
"They are at the moment staying in Iceland. Getting there will be the easy part, convincing them to work with you is another." Dr. Jekyll felt Hyde growl inside of him as he remembered how they captured him.
"You are going to need these." Fredrick pulled a sliver chain with a bright blue changing to purple gem, followed by one with a deep red changing into fire orange. They were quite breath taking.
"How are some rocks going to help us?" Tom was still slightly put off about having two new guys, let alone girls join the League but now he was telling them that they needed some dumb rocks to help them.
"These are the only thing that can control their power. When they are close to them their powers are rendered useless." Fredrick tossed the blue one to Tom and the red one to Dorian.
"Are you really goin' to trust them wit' those." Skinner was curious as to why they got them and not him. If they did what he said then he could have some fun with those.
"It was not by choice I assure you." Fredrick sent a dirty look toward the two "Along with the two stones came a prophecy. You two are the only ones that can use them. Why you two I know not."
"Maybe cause one of them is a traitor." Skinner pointed to Dorian. "Like ol' Dorian here, and the other must be really attached to 'er guns." Skinner burst out laughing at his own joke. Which was soon followed by a book being thrown in his general direction.
"Watch it love, that almost hit me." Skinner walked to the table and put on his leather coat. He started to apply his white face cream.
"Well that is for you to find out." With that Fredrick gave the last folder to Dr. Jekyll and then left the room the same way that he had come.
"Well it would seem that we're out on an other adventure once again." Captain Nemo was happy that they were all together again, minus Dorian of course. Since the last mission Tom had returned to the states and then come back and joined Nemo, Skinner, Mina and dr. Jekyll on the Nautilus.
All the members got up and headed to the door. Both Tom and Dorian couldn't stop playing with the stones that they had been given to them. 'Why me?' they both thought.
"Here." Dr. Jekyll handed the folder to Captain Nemo. "There the directions to where we're going." Nemo opened the folder and gave it a once over.
"I suggest that we start out immediately. We don't know how long this is going to take." Allan asked the question that everyone had silently been thinking."Just what is it that makes them so powerful?"
Nemo flipped through the folder of information. He frowned slightly as he read. "It only says that they are very well trained fighters and are very stealthy."
"Is that all they could manage to tell us?" Mina was very excited to have more females on the journey, but she would like to know what they are capable of. "Or maybe that's all they're capable of." Skinner's remark was met by a bunch of blank stares. Everyone knew that that wasn't the case.
"Will have to see now won't we?" Allan lead the way into Nemo's new automobile. The ride to the Nautilus was silent. Each of the members was lost in their own thoughts. Once they reached the Nautilus not much changed.
Nemo headed straight for the Helm to enter the new directions. Dr. Jekyll and Mina went to work on some potions together, (They have been spending more time together then normal) Tom and Allan went to their rooms and Dorian went to the library to do a bit of reading. No one could tell where Skinner had gone. As usual.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* AN: Thanx for reading. R&R. Let me know what you think should happen. The parings are going to be Dr. Jekyll/Mina, Tom/OC and Dorian/OC there will be NO SLASHING in my fic.
