Part 19

Trance's POV

Darkness, all I feel is darkness, and pain, but it was fading fast. I felt fuzzy, where was I? It smells in here. I think, reaching into my mind. Then the events come storming back, the shooting pain, like my body was being torn apart from one little hole, then darkness again.

My eyes shoot open, I take in as much air as I can, and let it out slowly. I can't see, there's something over my eyes, a body. I throw it off and sit up I'm in a dark room with bodies and junk around me. I grab my chest, then I remember. 'He shot me.. The bistered shot me' all fear and confusion I had went out the window at that moment and was quickly replaced by anger, nothing but pure anger. I jump to my feet and look up at the small hole, I could get out of it.

I scan the room, my eyes looking into any nuke and cranny. For any kind of weapon, I see one, a pointed rod, I quickly walk over to it and grab it, and look at it thinking of its uses. I freeze as my hearing picks up movement out side the little hole, someone was coming. Faster than the human eye could follow I spring up to the corner plastering myself to the wall. As if on cue the door slides open and the being pokes his head in. I grab the rod and throw it, it flies right into its neck, in one nice motion, the being makes some frantic jester to grab at its neck but it was hopeless and soon fell limp. I watch it fall to the bottom of the pit, and jump back down and look at it. I notice the spikes on its elbows I slowly reach down and break it off examining it, a small grin appears on my lips, and I put it where one of my twin blades used to be, I reach down and break the other one off as well and put it in the other holder.

I jump up to the wall again and out the hole to the smooth floor I look from side to side. Again I freeze hearing more movement, I move down the hall in the opposite direction of the movement. they would soon find the body I would have to work fast. I quickly find a control panel, but I don't know how to work it, it has too many blocks and I don't have the time to over write them all, I would have to come back later. For now I'd have to do this the hard way, I couldn't feel Beka anywhere, she wasn't dead was she? I feel fear again, 'no' I tell myself 'she can't be, you'd know, have hope and all will be okay'.

I soon find a conduct, and open it, crawling inside. I sit up against the wall and breath. I jump as I hear someone yell in anger and feet running . I stop breathing and listen, the footsteps grow louder and louder, then quieter and quieter. They had missed me, ok that was good. But I couldn't stay here long they would surely think to look here. So I begin to move through the conduct stopping every so often to look into a room to see if I can use it to my advantage. But so far nothing of the sort. I move a little farther, and look down into the room, and see it. The one thing I want to see more than Beka, a wicked smile spreading on my face a stare down at the alien, the one that had shot me.

I kick the panel open and jump into the room, hitting the floor hard. Catching the being off guard, he goes to draw his weapon, but before he could even take aim, I'm in front of him knocking the gun out of his hand and across the room.

He makes a dash at a com, I shoot in front of him again and ask in the same tone I've ask Harper a hundred times "Whatcha doing?"
His nostrils flare, his eyes get larger and if possible I think his face might have went red. My face turns to a evil smile as I look into its eyes, then in a far darker tone I speak "You look mad...you should be" I smile even more "you should be a little scared to... cause you're not making it out of this room."

At that he swung at me, I bend my back, back and reach out grabbing his arm, I look back into his eyes then at his wrist where my hand lay, I move my eyes down his elbow and that spike, a sweet smile appears on my face for a second before I reach out and rip the spick off forcefully and toss it to the side. The thing lets out a primal scream, part pain, part anger.

I look at him with my eye brows raised "Aww dose that hurt, try getting a shot in the chest then we'll talk" he takes another swing at me, I grab that arm as well and squeeze it, harder and harder until I hear a nice little crunch. He lets out another yell. Throwing the useless arm to the his side, that evil smile returns "Lets see if this compares" Faster than he can follow I grab the spike I had acquired earlier and jabbed it into his chest until I hit something.

He lets out a gasped breath and I push him down to the floor, he falls to his back and looks up at me, a state of confusion in his eyes. I squat next to him and smile again "can't move huh." I reach out and turn his neck fast hear that ever so lovely snap. I stand and look down at the body and speak in a Harper mock "Think of it this way, by you death someone gets promoted, so I've done someone a favor" I laugh at the dead body.

I spot the computer on his desk and walk over to it I begin to type frantically. Soon I find out where Beka is.

I pop my head up as I hear someone coming, I turn back to the computer and type in a coded message to the Andromeda , telling them that Beka and I are still alive. With that bit done I jump back on the desk and into the conduct. Heading for Beka.
