Faust: You'll have to wait just a little longer for thr beard to be gone, and I don't have the DVD, but I did notice that the mason symbol in all over M's office.

( I )

Col Bond frowned slightly; he was in his office in a conference with Nemo, who had just told him all he found out from Jekyll, concerning whose done it, Why, how and the entire Jacques Deir Parp Society plot.

"Are you sure"
"Dr Jekyll is not one to tell elaborate fraudulent tales"
"I know, however you have to admit it is rather hard to swallow, even harder to swallow than tales on Invisible Men and Vampires"
"I agree"
"So, Jekyll has joined the league again"
"For this mission only, at least"
"Do you think he'll stay behind again"
"The situation on the Nautilus is rather tense, the relationship between himself and Sawyer and Ms Murray is very complicated, I don't think after gaining Amnesty that he'll be eager to return."

Bond sighed, "Romantic entanglements are never an advantage in covert government work. Captain, I am meaning to ask you about the Dr Jekyll's health Status"
"He seems to be fine, if a little fatigued"
"I meant psychologically."

"Dr Jekyll has gone to hell and back, and he wasn't stable to begin with, I don't know what to think."

( ii )

Skinner walked into the meeting room, Nemo was at his usual seat at the head of the table, Sawyer sat to his left, blankly staring at the wall, and he looked Bothered, and was scruffy looking, he had even sipped on shaving, and looked rather bizarre.

Jekyll was right behind Skinner, he walked in, wearing a suit much like the ones he wore in his first run with the league, and he approached Sawyer.

"How's your hand?"

Sawyer's hand was bandaged, he abruptly answered, "Dine."

Jekyll sat one seat away from Sawyer, silence rang though the room, tense silence, and Skinner tried to disturb it by saying, "One... Two... Three beards, I don't get it, has facial hair become mandatory?"

Skinner's humor was unappreciated, so he sat down to Nemo's right, finally Mina came in, Sawyer and Jekyll looked at her sideways, pretending she didn't Move something in them, Mina knew it, and tried to avoid making eye contact.

Mina and Skinner barely got along, and she mostly managed to avoid him, and always stationed herself as far from him a possible, however she sat right Next to him and as far from her two amorous admirers, no body said anything, but everyone noticed it, including Memo, who widened his wyes a bit, Skinner couldn't believe it either, as he loudly said, "Jesus! It's worst than I thought!"

"Gentlemen," said Memo, commencing the briefing, "And Lady, Dr Jekyll is supposed to meet with Warren at 11 tonight, to discuss the next Murders on the Agenda, the meeting will be held at an old abandoned warehouse in North Whitchappel, Ms Murray will provide backup, and I have ordered some of my men, to Install some devices that shall allow me to listen as well while I'm here at the Nautilus, Mr. Skinner will infiltrate Warren's Apartment, and look for Evidence, Mr. Sawyer will be in disguise, and stationed outside to provide back up. Any Questions?"

None asked.

"Motion Carried."

( iii )

Warren buttoned up his pea coat, and fixed his tie as he looked at himself in the mirror, he then put on his top hat and walked out the door, and got into his Coach which was outside.

As soon as he was gone, and everything was quiet, the uninvited guest -skiner- went to work and began nosing around, he soon found the study, and speed Read the papers he found, tailoring bills, letters from his father in Kenya, letters in German, finally, he found a locked drawer, Skinner smiled finally, there was a challenge, he found a peace of wire and a small knife, and started picking the lock.

( iv )

Sawyer removed the bandage from his hand, the fabric was chafing him, and his hand had healed considerably, he watched as Warren left the building and got into hic coach, he caressed the two colts in their holsters on his waist, and the Winchester hidden inside his coat, and a few minutes later, a faint Light in his window.

Finally, it was coming to an end, he wasn't fond of London, as he once said, Bad Food, Bad Booze, Psychotic killers, why would anyone want to be There?

( v )

Dr Jekyll stretched his legs as he turned his neck to look at Mina, she had her head turned, to avoid his looks no doubt, his feelings were unwelcomed by her, but that barely changed anything, he was in love, or was he? How could love hurt so much, of what he was told by Shakespeare and Poe, it was supposed to be a state of spiritual euphoria, not the twists in his stomach and racing pulse.

Mina felt Jekyll's eyes on the back of her neck, and tried not to look at him, how was it she never felt an interest on his part? How could she be so thick headed? She felt the looks piercing, the tiny hairs on the back of her neck erected, and she felt a sweat coming over, what words were being said without being spoken, she could almost hear him screaming endless verses of his lust for her, he probably would have said it if Memo wasn't listening in via the equipment installed earlier in the day, they were hidden inside a large crate in the corner, it was powerful enough to pick up any sound inside the Warehouse and transmit it to the Nautilus.

Suddenly she heard the sounds of footsteps coming from the outside, she instantly broke into bats and flew to the ceiling, where she crouched on top of the Rafters.

Before Jekyll could understand, the door opened and in came Warren.

"Good Evening, Dr Jekyll"
"Good Evening, Dr Warren"
"We've been looking for you the past two days, where have you been"
"Hiding"
"I see."

At the Nautilus Memo was listening to the conversation, the receiver was connected to a gramophone, some of the words were muffled.

He was alone in the meeting room, his crew was tending to their tasks, and he stood tight, waiting for any useful information to come through.

( vi )

Skinner heard a click, indicating that the lock was picked; he smiled, and carefully opened the drawer...

"Bloody Hell!" screamed Skinner as a cloud of greenish powder exploded into his face, before he managed to figure out what it was, one of the doors Opened and in came three hulking men, dressed in suits, looking at his direction, Skinner looked down at himself and realized the frightening truth, he no Longer lost the advantage of the unseen intruder, he was a medium build, visible naked man, going against three strong men.

"Bloody Hell!"

( vii )

"So, who are the remaining three?" asked Jekyll.
"I'll tell you shortly, I just have to ask you something"
"What is it"
"Did you really think we wouldn't find out you were back with hr league?"

Mina, Jekyll and Nemo's eyes widened in shock, as Warren went on, "We'll make well on our promise, and they will all die, as a matter of fact, the submarine is Being attacked right about..."

Memo heard the sound of gunshots outside, with the sound of screams and collision sounds, he bolted up from his chair, "...Now." came form the Gramophone, Memo drew his sword as sounds of running feet rang in the corridor outside.

( viii )

Warren reached into his coat, and pulled out a small double barreled rifle, Mina sprang from the rafters, soaring in her usual form, wanting to rescue Henry, suddenly, the idea of his death seemed unbearable, but just as she was a few feet away from Warren, Warren arm bended and his neck turned so that his Face and gun barrels were facing her, he pulled a trigger, she saw the projectile being fired, and before she knew it she laying in the ground with a silver stake lodged in her chest, it all looked to move in slow motion, Warren's look of utter glee and satisfaction, Jekyll's pale face filled with shock, and the Entire existence going dark, and quiet, and distant.

Jekyll rushed to her, he held her in his arms and shook her, insanely calling her name, begging her to wake up, but she didn't answer.

"Well, well," said Warren, "Dr. D'Onston1 was right; silver does put a vampire out of play."

Jekyll charged Warren barking, "You son of a whore! You killed her! You'll pay!"

"I beg to differ." said Warren as he smacked the gun into Jekyll's face and caused him to fall, Jekyll lay on the ground for a few seconds, and Jekyll was Shedding his pea coat, hat, jacket, vest and tie, and then rolled up his sleeves, "I have no men whatsoever outside," he said, "What say you we finish this Once and for all, like men, no guns, no knives, no friends, no nasty alter-egos, what say you?"

Jekyll took of his trench coat as he stood up, and said, "Granted."

With that, the two men charged each other, with the intention of murder.

( ix )

A fight ensued, the three men fighting with their obligation to their job, and Skinner fighting for his survival, the first of the men took a swing at Skinner and Knocked him over the desk and he fell to the other side, he soon found the other's hand chocking at his throat, Skinner felt the lights dimming, and the Sounds around him quitting, this was his death, he would die naked and invisible and brutally.

The survivor in Skinner woke up with a loud roar, as Skinner's leg kicked aimlessly and connected with his chokers groin, the man screamed in pain as he Crumbled to the ground.

Skinner gasped for air as the others came charging, he threw an ink bottle into the one's face and punched the other in the jaw, they both fell, as the other Twirled blindly.

Skinner grabbed a paper weight on the table and smashed it onto the fallen man's face repeatedly till blood leaked from his forehead, and suddenly felt a pair of Strong arms grab him and lift him from behind, he stomped his attacker foot and retreated, and as he saw the man hoping on one foot, he charged him with A scream and speared him out the window.

Sawyer spun to see a man fall from the third floor window of the building, and looked at the broken window till he saw a man with ink on his face miming Choking movements out the window, it took him a while to distinguish a greenish shadowy figure leaning from the window, it was Skinner.

Sawyer took out his rifle which was already loaded and aimed at the window, a pull on the trigger and Skinner's worries were lessened.

Sawyer ran to the building, up the stairs, into the apartment, into the study to find three men, two seemed to have just arrived, they were beating on Skinner, who was considerably visible, Sawyer's hands reached to his waist and took out his pistols, three shots and there were three dead men, the fourth Turned to look at him.

"Step away from him."

The man did as he was told; Sawyer went next to Skinner and helped him up.

"Sit down."

The man sat down."

"What's your name"
"Ampelforth." he answered with a menacing voice.
"Well, Ampelforth, what brings you here?"

Ampelforth was silent.

"Who found out about us? Or does warren keeps green bombs in his desk al the time?"

Ampelfoth was silent.

"Talk, Dam it"
"You may have dodged the bullet, but the rest are going to die tonight"
"What's going to happen? What do you mean?"

Ampelfoth was just silent, and smirked devilishly; Skinner then snatched one of Sawyer's guns, shot Ampelforth below the knee.

Sawyer was surprised, and shocked, he never imagined Skinner to be so ruthless, but it was necessary, Ampelforth screamed in agony.

"Listen, you fat crap," said Skinner sharply, "You have two choices, we shoot higher, or you tell us."

Ampelforyh made up his mind quickly.

"The submarine is being under attack, the Doctor and the Vampire will be taken care of by Warren"
"When"
"It already began."

Skinner and Sawyer rushed out, as they were on the threshold, Sawyer said, "I'll go to the ship, you go tot he warehouse"
"Okay."

They ran in different directions, Skinner found a cab parked to carry off a well dressed gentleman and his wife, after they got in, Skinner hoped next to the Driver and clocked him out of the coach and took over, neglecting the gentleman's wishes and heading for Whitechappel.

Nemo dodged a close range shot, and as he was leaning, he sliced forward with his sword and struck the attacker's stomach, and the man fell lifeless.

It was chaotic at the Nautilus, the society goons had managed to sneak in and wage an attack on his men, and he caught the sounds from the gramaphone faintly, in the last few minutes, their cover was blown, Mina was injured, and Jekyll and Warren were engaged in a fight, now all that could be heard were sounds of impact, pounding and grunts with the occasional curses.

It did not look good for them, one member down, the League's army being massacred, and two members at the estate of the enemy of who knew about their plans. It was not looking good.

Nemo felt a numbness in his ankle and a sudden dampness, he looked down and saw it was bleeding, he was shot, suddenly he felt a piercing pain as he fell tot he ground.

It didn't look good.

( xi )

Warren aimed a kick at Jekyll, who ducked it, Warren foot was caught in a wall seizing the opportunity, Jekyll hit an elbow against Warren's knee and Listened to the sound of bones braking, and watched as Warren fell.

Jekyll stepped back, panting, his heart was racing, the pleasure of man handling Warren took his mind off Mina's demise for a fragment of a second, he watched as Warren sat himself with his back to the punctured wall, panting as well.

"Well, well," Warren said, "You beat me in a fair fight, that's good."

He looked to his let, to where his jacket was, he reached into it and took out a small vile, with a transparent liquid inside, Jekyll's eyes widened as he realized what it was, he faintly uttered, "Please, don't!"

Warren uncorked the vile with one hand and downed the liquid, his face contorted at the horrible taste, "Surprise!"

Warren's loud laughs echoed through the empty warehouse, empty save for Jekyll, Mina's corpse, and the soon to be mutated Warren, in one instance the laughs turned to screams, as Warren started to change.
