"Ker? What are you doing here?" Liz's voice broke over the sudden quite of the room at the surprise demonstration of affection between Kyle and Maria.

It was no secret that they didn't get along, and that the only reason they were even friends were because of a mixture of the Czech's and Liz.

But Isabel watching from the sidelines, turned suddenly to Liz as she spoke, her astonishment and shock growing with each second.

Just who the hell were all these people?

Her mind refused to function for once, and it was only as Kyle, or at least she thought it was him, since he hadn't answered her when she had yelled his name, swung the dark haired girl around suddenly did she see a resemblance to Kyle.

And watching closely the look of joyous abandonment on the girls face did she realise that the beautiful Amazon that had been present all along, and that perversely she had thought was trying to hit on her boyfriend, was actually Maria.

Who was now a babe, would wonders never cease she had thought, until the forcefully autocratic voice had broken in on her thoughts, and she had realised there was yet another women in the room.

A very strange woman, with long white hair, pale skin, and what looked like Tattoo's going around the edge of her forehead.

Who, watching as the others suddenly turned to her and rushed to explain what was going on, bore a slight, very slight resemblance, Isabel mused, to Liz.Apart from the whole sluttish look, enhancements and pasty unnatural coloured skin, and not to forget the weird tribal tattoos that strangely didn't dominate the small face, though.

Isabel slightly maliciously, it wasn't every day that a human came along and ruined the normality they had worked so hard to attain their whole lives and ruin it in the few minutes it had taken her brother to heal her.

Even so, watching as they all crowded around her, Isabel had to admit, this woman had a certain aura that just commanded respect and for some reason a peaceful feeling invaded her, as if just being in her presence was being in the presence of something great and your soul knew that it was receiving a great honour, and was tying to tell you this.

The woman was speaking to Kyle as if he was her servant, speaking to Maria like a sister, talking to Alex, hugging him a bit too much for her likening.

It was she cleared her breath trying get their attention, or at least Alex's since he was the only one she was sure she knew, although she felt like she did know the others, no matter that she had never seen them before in this life, that she noticed, their voices had become much more Melodic, the new guys, Ker, she thought his name was much deeper, suiting his appearance much more.

But it was too late to take back her attention-grabbing cough as the four of them turned towards her, as if only now noticing her for the first time.

Isabel felt her heart begin to race, as she faced the four, their eyes blinking on and off to an almost luminious green, before settling back to their normal colours, but for Isabel it was enough, she had sent those eyes before, they haunted her.

With her heart pounding in her ears, she took a frightened step backwards, feeling the blackness creep into her line of vision, blanking out every blessed thing, until she slipped into unconsciousness without a sound, almost falling to the ground before someone reached her too whisk her to the couch.

Pushing a stray blonde hair from her face, Mica starred down at the woman, fighting the tender feelings that this strange creature was arousing in him.

Now was not the time, indeed he thought sardonically, it had never been the time for

them, and now, looking behind him, it looked like it never would be.

Turning to the other three in the room, he turned away from the blonde, waving a hand behind him, know one in the room he slightest bit shocked when the woman that they vaguely recognised from the human others memories, disappeared.

His voice low and deep, Mica turned to each person in the room, stopping to check that every one was there, sounding to anyone listening as if he was doing a roll call.

"Vi-Sai?"

"Yes, brother." Maria's body answered. Maria's spirit watched, detached from what was going on with her own body, but knowing somehow that it would all work out. Looking around her suspiciously she wasn't surprised to find Alex, Maria and Kyle in the same position. Their own confused emotions expressed on their faces. Something told her she wasn't the only one that felt as if they were watching the proceedings on the T.v, having no connection to their own bodies.

"Vi-Sara," smiling as she frowned at him, "Sister dearest?"

"Yes, you absent minded Maci!" Liz's body answered back readily. An old Syrian insult on her lips.

Turning to Kyle, he smiled joyously. "You never could leave her side for long could you Ker?"

Ker nodded his head in agreement, a friendly smile on his lips, memories of a childhood spent chasing Vi-Sara through out the palace, prevalent in his mind. "No, but then she always needed a guard, she spends all her time in trouble after all." He added mockingly, waiting for her to explode, it wasn't long coming as well, considering she had spent most of her youth making sure he wasn't late for arms training and avoiding the cooks from various households he had borrowed cakes from, without asking.

"You two headed Rhizo, just who the hell nearly got whipped for missing his own coronation because he was with some common princess from one of the lesser planets that had come to see the signing of the treaty?" her voice rose with each word till she was nearly yelling at him, stopping in satisfaction as she noticed the red colour creep up his neck in remembrance.

Vi-Sai was the first to notice though that they weren't at home, and was the first to voice her questions, "Just where the hell are we, I know were not at home!" looking around in disapproval at the small overly cluttered living area they were in.

Vi-sara, ever the adventurous one, stood up suddenly, and walked towards the wall, sliding through it with ease, waiting for the others to follow from the other side.

Starring up at the stars when they finally joined her, she squinted up at them as if that would change their placement, grimacing as she realised she had never seen half of this constellations before in her long life.

Shaking her head sorrowfully, she grimaced at her family "I have no idea were the hell we are?"

Suddenly their was a noise from their right, bringing up her hand, Vi-Sai shook her hand, and smiled in satisfaction as a long gold staff, with five crystals atop it, in a star sign surrounded by a jade circle, suddenly appeared.

Dropping it to the ground, she spun it, and smiled as the crystals started to glow, and a large dome, a force field if you will, surrounded everyone.

By now, Ker had ripped of his shirt, and out of nowhere had produced to large machete like knives, their weight not even straining his muscles, while Mica stood legs spread to balance himself, to large cats tail whips in his hands, flowing a bright orange, as if on fire.

Vi- Sara stood in the middle, a simple silver staff resting beside her, a calm expression on her face, as if she knew that whatever was out there was no match for them.

As the person emerge from the darkness, the fighting stance was gradually let go and the force field was dropped, as Ker realised who it was, calling out a welcome in a voice he hardly recognised as his own.

"Kaviar Vandal!"


Okay I know I haven't put out anything for ages, but I've just finished my job and then I have to get ready for going back to college and its only know that I've finally had a chance to sit down and write what was in my head, but I say it's an interesting twist.

But like you'll need to review and tell me…. I've actually started working on a Micheal Maria story… got the first three chaps written but I need to finish one story before I put it up… its kind of sickening that I haven't anything finished yet….

Anyway thanks to those who have reviewed, and Kar-chan totally understand… I was in that position to many times to count…
