Point of View: Grin
SUNRISE
Be patient. His inner voice told him this and he agreed with it, serenely meditating as the others did whatever to pass the time.
Meditation was not easy to obtain. The one named Willow had a strange aura, and it wasn't clouding his, but it was distracting. He couldn't quite place it. It almost seemed to be like Wraith, but it was good.
A good once-Suarian, perhaps? No.
The moon made way for the sun, and the team moved out as they had no communication from the first team.
The Raptor was strangely empty. No drones, no noise. Wildwing led them through it, and even though no evidence of the enemy was present, they moved forward like there were patrols.
It was halfway through another empty hall that the one named Willow muttered a spell before Wraith appeared.
Silence is more deadly then a physical blow.
BATTLE
They were few but they had the advantage. The spell the Witch had cast was one for protection, and even though a few well aimed spells of Wraith's could get through, the drones' blasts were useless. He was very pleased. Even before the drones' punches had little effect.
The Suarians seemed to be at a lost as why the Ducks and this human could be so invincible.
Willow and Wraith were head-to-head, neither more powerful then the other. Wildwing was up against Chemlion and a batch of drones that were programmed for self-destruction via Duck.
"Stop," a voice rang out, a voice that sounded almost computerized and yet evil. He felt a fear deep inside.
EVIL
Draguanus had always given Grin the impression of evil. Not nessasarily pure, but it was deep. From thousands of generations of hatred. This could be cured if both sides of the hatred river would work together, in a long, painful journey.
This creature was different.
He could sense nothing but evil upon evil. Not only inter-bred but embedded into the very being. It wasn't the person he was looking at, he could sense the evil was just using this body. The body of an innocent.
He wished he could help, but something told him he couldn't help the host.
RESCUE
This was new. Usually the Ducks were simply thrown into a cell and locked in. The Being demanded they be chained to the wall.
She/he stepped in front of Grin.
"You are powerful," she/he stated. "Your mind is well built and well protected." She/he went to an empty place, waiting. She smiled at Wildwing. "In a few seconds your mate will be transported here. The bandages on her wrists have a timer in case I had to leave."
Wildwing swallowed a lump. The creature went to Willow. "A witch. Didn't know I had technology that blocked your powers, did you?"
At that moment Mallory appeared in a flash of white. Willow observed, "Asgard tech. How'd you steal that?" She held her head high. When she spoke it was hesitant but determined. "Doesn't matter. Buffy and Nosedive will get you."
"Buffy and Nosedive," she/he put her hands on her hips. "Do you know where they are right now?"
Willow clamped her mouth shut and refused to speak. She/he didn't like this, raising her hand over Willow's forehead.
"Don't touch her!" Wildwing demanded. She/he glanced at Wing with a glare and then-
"AHHHH!" Willow screamed. Golden light pulsed out of the monster's hand-device, pounding into Willow's mind. She/he stopped.
"Where is the Watchers Council located?"
Willow stuck her tongue out weakly. She/he sighed in irritation then asked, "Why did you come here?"
"I felt your magic." Willow replied. "It was strange; a combined force of magic and...something. I came to stop you...and to tell Buffy I'm sorry..."
Grin heard something to his right, so he strained his ears without moving his head. He made sure his eyes would not give his friends away, if it was them. And then he heard Buffy's voice whisper,
"Tanya, work getting Wildwing and Grin down. Nosedive, take out Osiris -"
"The dudette has a guy's name?"
"Dive, please!"
"Sorry, Buff."
"I'll get Willow down, and then we will get Mallory down as she's pregnant and can't fall - Willow can levitate her down."
"Got it, dudette."
Grin felt like smirking but settled on closing his eyes to meditate. He heard Osiris spat, "Have anything to say before I kill you, Witch?"
Willows response: Behind you snake-head.
Grin opened his eyes in time to see Nosedive shoot Osiris point-blank with a puck-launcher. Osiris screamed, falling to the floor. Nosedive shot again, turning the creature's host's head into pulp. Something wiggled then went still.
He looked to Willow and saw the one named Buffy simply brake the chains of the witch's.
Even the most powerful tree must listen to the smallest leaf.
EXPLAINING
The Suarians had locked the first team up much like the second but they didn't realise an important thing: Buffy was a Slayer. She broke the chains easily, as did Tanya since she had her omni-tool. Only Nosedive was stuck for a few moments before Tanya got him down.
The cells they were in had risen up into a Goa'uld mothership. They had to figure out how to get down, work their way into the labs - only to find out they had moved all computers up into the Goa'uld mothership.
When the river flows you cannot stop it.
