Funyun: Thanx for your review. I don't think this story would be right without Dorian. I hope you understand this better than the trailer.

Ancestors: Chapter 2- Time Travel

The League stood on the cold, wet dock in the east side of London. They watched as the Nautilus slid back under water. A freezing, northerly wind tore through their clothes even though it was the middle of July. To an onlooker they must have looked ominous and foreboding.

'Shall we go?' asked Mina. Dorian gave her his arm.
'Yes. Let's.' replied Quatermain.
'Shall we take the Nemobile?' asked Nemo.
'We won't all fit in. Will we?' said Skinner.
'Ah. When Mr. Sawyer destroyed the original I redesigned it to fit
eight people.'
'Cool.' Replied Sawyer.
'Yes, indeed.' Came the cool reply of Dorian.

They all clambered into the new Nemobile and it sped off into the cold
night. The journey took a little under half an hour. They slowed to a
halt outside the marble headquarters. Quatermain led them up the many
steps leading to the large wooden doors. They walked through the dark
marble corridors Mrs. Harker's boots wrapping along the floor in time
with Dorian's cane. As they reached the conference room they saw a
young medium built man standing guard.

'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?' He asked.
'Yes.' Replied Quatermain.
'Then right this way.' He opened a large set of doors and gestured
them in.

A large mahogany table resided in the centre of the long room. They
could see the back of a middle-age man watching the weather outside.
He turned as he heard Sawyer clear his throat.

'Ah yes. Sorry I didn't here you come in. I was a bit preoccupied with
the weather outside. Dreadful it is. Anyway, thank you for getting
here so fast. If you would please sit at the table you will find
folders containing all the information you will need.'

They all sat and Jekyll passed out the folders. The first page
contained pictures of a pale man with black hair greased back. He had
a swarthy conniving look.

'This is George Moriaty. He had a spy who worked here and gave him
information about a time machine built.'

'Time machine?' asked Quatermain.
'What idiot gets a time machine built?' Said Skinner.
'Me,' answered the man, 'yes I, Arthur Dashwood commissioned it. It
was experimental work. Anyway. The machine is located on the second
floor. I will take you there. Then you will go through the machine you
will end up in the Irish head-quarters in 2004. They will have a car
and a map that will lead you to D'Arcy Manor.'

'Why D'Arcy manor?' Asked Sawyer.

'Because your descendant's last name is D'Arcy. You will have to
convince her to come and we will expect you back the day after you
leave. Are you ready?'

The League nodded. 'Follow me.' He stood and lead them out of the room
and up a long flight of stairs. The wind howled and threw itself at
the window ratteling the panes. They reached the romm in which the
machine resided. He signalled to a man who pressed several buttons on
a key-pad.

'Ready, sir.'
'Thank you Williams.'
'Right,' Dashwood turned to the League 'you will go stand in the
machine and I will press a button which will send you into the
future.' He stepped back. 'After you.'
'I'm not sure about this.' Said Quatermain.
'I'll go first.' Said Sawyer. He stepped forward into the machine.
DAShwood pressed a large red button. A large white flash of light and
Sawyer was no more.
'Now I'll go.' Said Skinner and he disappeared in the same way as
Sawyer. Nemo and Quatermain followed suit. Mina turned to Dorian and
kissed him on the cheek.
'See you on the other side.' And she too went into the future. Dorian
and Jekyll soon followed. Dashwood bowed his head as the last League
member dissapered.
'Good luck, LXG.'

Jekyll was the last Leaguer to appear in the Irish HQ. They were met
by a young sandy haired boy.
'Good day. Your car is waiting out front. Will you be needing a
chauffeur?'
'No. I'll drive.' Said Sawyer.

They all piled into the waiting white car. Nemo sat upfront with
Sawyer and pulled out the map.

'We take a right after the next crossroads.'

Hope you enjoy this. Chapter three should be up in a couple of days. Please review.
