Helix'We're approaching the co-ordinates' Shalimar called back to the other team members. With that, she nose-dived the aircraft, only pulling up when they were almost upon the roof she had chosen to land on.
'See your flying skills are still the same' Lexa commented as the three of them started to make their way out of the aircraft. Shalimar only smiled a 'too-sweet-to-be-true' smile at Lexa.
Running to the edge of the building, the mutants saw the courtyard was cleared of all the civilians leaving behind only the police and military personal that were trying to hold off the aliens.
Seeing their attention was fully on the Reetza, Shalimar jumped off the 10-storey building, landing skilfully on her feet. Brennan followed using his electricity to slow himself down.
Shaking her head, Lexa started down the fire escape. Upon reaching the ground, Lexa saw Shalimar and Brennan had backed up against a wall waiting for her. The military personal had now retreated quite a way, leaving the hideous beings in the centre of the crossroads to keep firing their single weapon while inspecting the bodies that littered the area with a morbid curiosity.
Nodding to her companions, they moved in.
Brennan and Lexa fired off heat and electricity at the aliens, causing the final straw for the soldiers who fled.
They then moved in. Going invisible, Lexa chose her target and began firing more energy at it while doing her best to break its neck with not much success. The bulky alien caught her; surprised, she turned visible once more. Now seeing his assailant, he flung her across the road into a nearby building knocking her unconscious.
Brennan and Shalimar meanwhile were having a better time with their alien. Brennan's electricity was slowing the alien a little while Shalimar's punches were inflicting a small amount of damage.
Upon seeing Lexa go down, Brennan changed opponents and moved onto Lexa's alien, having about the same amount of success as he did on the other alien.
Suddenly, a familiar sound was heard by the mutants, seconds later the aliens let out an ear splitting shrill as they fell to the ground.
'Harper? Rommie? Shalimar called out. The sound could only have come from one of their future weapons.
'You know where they are?' a female voice came from a nearby hiding place down some steps into an underground house.
The two conscious people looked over to where the voice came from. As they watched, a lady and a man emerged.
The woman had short wavy blonde hair surrounding a heart shaped face. Her black top and trousers accentuated her tall slim frame. On one leg a holster like Rommie's carried a force lance, also identical to the androids. In her hand she held a much smaller gun, which she was pointing in the direction of the mutants.
The man beside her was also quite tall and slim, only he was dressed in a black and maroon jacket and black trousers. His face was ruggedly handsome partially covered by a mop of bleached brown hair. He too carried a force lance.
'Depends, what's it to you?' Brennan asked, sneaking a look back to the fallen mutant, who had begun to stir.
'They're friends now where are they?' Dylan answered after a moments pause and glance to the woman; without lowering his weapon.
As he finished speaking, his weapon suddenly went flying, hovering in the air along with the two the woman held. The two of them stared as they went towards the mutants. When they reached there, a bright light in the shape of a woman glowed then dissipated as Lexa was revealed.
'I don't like being threatened, now who are you?' Shalimar asked, her eyes going yellow as Brennan pulled out a fist full of electricity. Lexa glared at them as she held the weapons she had taken.
'What the hell are you?' the woman asked, stunned.
'New Mutants, now answer the question.' Shalimar told them, getting ready to pounce if they gave the wrong answer.
'I'm Captain Dylan Hunt of the Andromeda Ascendant and this is Captain Beka Valentine of the Ulrika Maru.' The man answered.
Recognising the names, Shalimar and Brennan relaxed slightly, nodding to Lexa to do the same.
'We'll take you to our ship to make sure you are who you say you are, if you are, we'll take you to sanctuary, if not…' Brennan left the sentence hanging, not needing to continue.
As the 5 of them started back to the Helix, Lexa turned and sent back two fistfuls of energy, causing the bodies to slowly start to burn. As the temperature of the fire rose it slowly began to eat through protective armour the Reetza were wearing until all that was left was a pile of ashes.
Sanctuary
'Once Rommie gets zapped, she'll be as good as new' Harper told Jesse as he replaced the front panel on the Android.
'So you really built her!' Jesse asked from where he was sat.
'Yeah. It wasn't that difficult, just used things from around Andromeda.' Harper replied joining the molecular.
'Cool!' Before Jesse could ask anything else though, Adams voice rang through the intercom requesting they come to the main view screen in the hall.
Rushing down there, they were greeted with the view of Shalimar on the holographic screen with Emma, Trance and Adam waiting patiently around it.
'Go ahead Shal, we're all here.' Adam told her.
'We managed to defeat the Reetza…with some help. They claim to be your friends Trance and Harper.' Shalimar moved to the side revealing the man and woman.
'Beka! Dylan!' Trance exclaimed.
'Hello Trance. Is Harper with you?' Dylan asked.
'Yeah I'm here.' Harper answered before Trance could.
'Good now…' What Dylan was about to say was cut off by a gun blast behind them.
'What the…?' Lexa cried out from somewhere off screen.
'Shalimar, What's happening?' Jesse cried out.
'More things attacking. Need help. Too Many' Brennan quickly told them as his head filled the screen.
'Damn Magog!' Was all the people at sanctuary heard Dylan say before the screen went black.
'Go!' Adam told them. 'Emma and I will go and find the source of our problems.'
Rushing back to Rommie, the two men picked her up and ran to the cars. Putting her in the back, Harper, Trance and Jesse raced off to their friends aid.
