Spike parked the truck in front of the factory. Nightfall had already come plunging the world in darkness.

"Alright lets get them inside." Spike said in a low tone.

In The Lab

Spike and Ulrich set the girls down onto the tables. Ulrich pulled up a chair and sat down next to Yumi, while Spike dialed a number on his cell.

"Ah hey Amanda." Spike greeted into the phone.

"Yeah, yeah we found em."

"Say, ah you think you could smooth things over with the cops so we can bring them into the hospital?" He asked.

"Well, I think they can last a little bit longer but I think Erin's heart may have been damaged and Yumi needs blood."

"Yeah … Yeah … Okay, bye" Spike hung up the phone and turned to Ulrich. "Amanda's on her way… they'll be admitted tomorrow. Think Yumi can last that long?"

Ulrich looked down to Yumi who was sleeping soundly and nodded. "Yeah." He replied.

Warehouse

X.A.N.A. sat in his quarters with a very pissed off look on his face. Tekira stood next to him like a loyal pet would stay by his master's side.

Suddenly the doors burst open to revile Griff being held by Strider and Stalker. Griff's hands had been cuffed behind his back, his wings were now held in place thus preventing him from flying away.

"Griff…" X.A.N.A. growled. "Do you know why you're in this predicament?" He asked knowing full well, Griff knew why he was there. Griff didn't answer he just looked at the ground. X.A.N.A. glared at him. "WELL!" Griff just stood there quietly. X.A.N.A. grit his teeth and clinched his fist. Without a second thought X.A.N.A. flew forward and punched Griff in the face sending him flying out of Stalker's and Strider's grasp. Before Griff could get back up the two follower's grabbed him again. "Lock Him Up!" X.A.N.A. roared. "I'll figure out what to do with him later."

"Yes X.A.N.A." Strider said as he and Stalker drug him out of the room.

"X.A.N.A.?" Tekira asked.

"What?" X.A.N.A. replied still slightly irritated.

"Why is Vamp going unpunished? He did more than Griff to get them out." X.A.N.A. just grinned.

"Because Tekira… Vamp is far too valuable to kill… at least right now."

Else Where In The Factory

Vamp stood leaning up against a seaport beam looking at the moon.

"It looks so different here…." He said in a dream like state.

"What's up with you vampire boy?" Asked a voice from behind him. Vamp turned around to see Nova holding his fail and some type of black suit.

"What…?" Vamp growled Nova was not one of Vamp's most favorite people. In less then five minutes she had figured out more about him than X.A.N.A. had.

"Awe is that how you greet someone who's done you a favor?" Vamp eyed Nova as she approached and handed him his flail. "Your little toy has now been brought into the 21st century as a weapon. It's nearly indestructible now." Vamp took the fail and stared at it for a wile till a slight smirk appeared on his face.

"I suppose you have your uses." He growled and looked at the suit in her hands. "And that is?" Nova smirked.

"Consider it a gift. Since you'll be working with Tekira I figured you'd, need a flame proof suit." She handed him the suit and left.

With Nova

Nova walked down the dark hallway wondering about what was going to happen to Griff. What was X.A.N.A. going to do to him?

The sudden sound of rushing footsteps brought her back to reality. She turned around to see Stalker run towards her. She went to grab her sais but it was to late the shadow grabbed a hold of her and pinned her against a wall forcing her up till her feet could no longer reach the ground.

"Hey there cutie." He said as he turned back into his human form (see chapter 13). Stalker gazed into her fear stricken eyes, she knew what he wanted. He looked around. "Drak's not here this time." He whispered.

Just then a dark figure appeared behind them and tapped on Stalker's shoulder.

"What now…?" Stalker growled as he turned around to see none other then Drak. Drak glared at him. Before Stalker could say anything else Drak grabbed his neck and hoisted him upward till he dropped Nova. The dragoon set Stalker down.

"Get out of here…" Drak said in a very threatening voice. Stalker did nothing. "NOW!" Drak roared. Stalker ran off into the shadows. Drak turned to Nova who was still on the ground. He offered his hand. She looked up at him as though he had offered her gold. "Well…" She took it and stood up. Drak began to walk away, fearing that Stalker would come back Nova ran after him. She soon caught up.

"Thank you." She said.

"You shouldn't be walking around here alone." Drak said flatly. Nova turned her eyes away. He was right, most of the time the female followers were used as rewards for the male followers (man I am a sick person).

"So what's going to happen to Griff?" Nova asked obviously worried about her teammate.

"X.A.N.A.'s going to let him rot in a cell for a week then, Vamp and I are going to make an example out of him so no one ever crosses X.A.N.A. again." Drak replied in a rather emotionless tone. Nova gasped.

"But he's your brother! Doesn't that mean anything to you-mmgph" Drak moved behind Nova and covered her mouth with his hand.

"Quiet!" He whispered sharply. "Do you want everyone to know he's my brother! They won't let me fight him if they know that." Nova's eyes widened, did X.A.N.A. not know that Drak and Griff were brothers? Drak looked around, seeing no one he pulled the now helpless Nova into their room. The room now only had two beds thus signifying Griff's doom. Drak released the girl.

"Look X.A.N.A. knows Griff and I are brothers. …But he thinks Griff was adopted. So therefor he treats us like we are not brothers." Drak said in a rather tense tone. "If X.A.N.A. found out we were blood he would think I had something cooked up. We are not going to speak of again." With that Drak laid down on his bed. Nova stared at him for a wile till she went over to her own bed and laid down.

"Dose Drak have a plan?" She thought before sleep took over.

Okay it's short, but give me a break, 2nd semester at my school just ended and it's been hell.

Oh and I thought I'd let you know that I do this fic not for my own gain but purely for your entertainment. If I did it for myself it wouldn't be on the internet. So if you guys want something to happen. Tell me and I'll try to make it happen. Later…
