Bo and Kenzi have been back cool since she left The Morrigan. Plus one can only stay upset with Kenzi but so many hours. Some time has passed since then, and Bo and Kenzi are out in the field. Bo has just finished killing some random creature.
"Damn Bo, you beat the guts out of that thing like literally. I had to stop from puking so many times," says Kenzi.
"Well," says Bo, shaking grossness off of herself. "I find it very therapeutic to take my frustrations out on things like whatever the hell that thing was back there."
"It's only been like two months that she's been missing, and I have been ruling out death as the cause."
"Thanks Kenzi, and yeah she's not dead. I don't know how, but I can just feel it. I know she's alive somewhere."
"I think so too. Well you want to get something to eat?" asks Kenzi. She looks at Bo while Bo looks down at herself with monster remnants on her. They both shake their heads. "Drinks then," says Kenzi.
Meanwhile somewhere very far away, Tamsin is walking down a narrow street that is lined with carts, kiosks, tables, stands, and even sheets on the ground displaying food, or other products to be sold. The street is busy with people haggling, hustling, stealing, and bargaining. She is carrying a paper bag, her head and shoulders draped with a long scarf. A youth stops her, showing her old Valentine's Day kiddie cards, asking in another language if she could spare him anything for one. She hands him a handful of change in that currency. He is in shock that she gave him so much. The boy tries to return it, saying that it is too much. She says in that language that she insist and that she will not take no for an answer. He nods his head. She acts like she's looking through the cards and randomly picks one. He says thank you very much, that his family will be able to eat for many days now, and that she was an angel sent from the sky. She tries to not brush him off, but she really wants to. Finally, he leaves, still bowing his head constantly to her as he walks away. She looks at the card and it simply reads, "Thinking of You," with a teddy bear holding a heart.
Tamsin returns to her hut, lying down on a cot. She takes out a worn picture of Bo from her pocket and stares at it. The formless figure appears. "What do you want?" asks Tamsin, putting the picture away.
"You miss her do you not?" it asks.
"What do you think?" responds Tamsin.
"I miss her too," it says. "When you are not content, I am not as well."
"It's best that I stay away."
"That is not like you Tamsin. You do not give up so easily."
"What would you have me do? I can't go back there. It's too dangerous. I'm dangerous."
"The mission has become in jeopardy now that we have both developed feelings for her. Yet I will remain your eyes for as long as I can."
Tamsin sits up. "You've never said anything like that before."
"Before, I have never felt this way. It makes me feel more alive than I have ever been. It also makes me feel even closer to death. I am very afraid for us."
Tamsin does not respond.
"Tamsin, what if you could save her?"
"What are you talking about? I am saving her by being away from her."
"You must go back Tamsin."
"Why, what's wrong?"
"She is in danger Tamsin. They are coming."
"What? No. They can't," says Tamsin.
"You do not have much time left. I have to go now. He has returned." The figure vanishes.
Bo and Kenzi walk into the police station over to Dyson's desk. "Bo, Kenzi, thanks for coming," he says.
"You sounded urgent," says Bo.
"I need your help," says Dyson.
"Whenever you say that it's something undercover, and most likely has to do with puberty," says Kenzi.
Bo and Kenzi are in a Catholic school investigating the disappearances of several students and faculty members. Bo is posing as a Catholic school nun, which Kenzi made numerous jokes about, and Kenzi, a Catholic school student which Bo made many jokes about. Dyson meets them inside the school. "You two find out anything, possible leads?" he asks.
"Yeah, this outfit really does ride up in the wrong places," says Bo, pulling at herself.
"Sister that ain't the only thing," says Kenzi. "And I got whacked with a ruler, actually hit, for being me, me people. I thought teachers couldn't hit students anymore, clearly I was wrong."
"Ladies. The missing students and faculty?" says Dyson.
"Nothing for me," says Bo, still messing with her outfit.
"Oh yeah, I did hear something about kids sneaking into the basement at night. Maybe that could be a lead."
"Okay. We'll check it out. Meet me back here after dark," says Dyson.
"With pleasure. I can't wait to get this off," says Bo.
"Too easy," says Kenzi.
Night time. Bo, Kenzi and Dyson break into the school. They go to the basement, searching around for clues.
"Do you smell something?" asks Kenzi.
Dyson sniffs the air. "Cannabis."
"Kenzi, you brought us to a bake-out?" says Bo.
"How was I supposed to know? And it's still suspicious behavior," responds Kenzi.
"Wait, don't move," says Dyson. "Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" asks Kenzi.
Then a small noise becomes louder like it's traveling towards them.
"That's someone screaming, hurry up let's go," says Dyson. They run in the direction of the noise, but their path is blocked by a wall.
"What the hell?" says Bo. Then the sounds seem like a massacre is occurring.
"Oh my god, am I hearing what I think I'm hearing?" asks Kenzi.
"We have to get in there," says Dyson, he starts hitting his body against the wall, trying to break it open.
Kenzi looks around and sees a sheet on the floor. She walks towards it. "Hey guys, don't you think that it's kind of weird that this sheet is right here. Almost like it doesn't belong." Something reaches up and snatches her down below.
"Kenzi!" yells Bo. She rushes over and jumps down after her. Dyson following.
They are inside of an underground cavern. "Kenzi," yells Bo and Dyson, walking around cautiously.
"This place is big Dyson. What if we can't find her? What if something happens to her? I can't lose Kenzi. If something happens to her, I swear I'm going to…" says Bo, looking like she's about to turn Dark.
Dyson grabs Bo by the shoulders. "Bo calm down. Listen to me. Nothing is going to happen to Kenzi. She is very smart. We need to concentrate on her and any others if possible, okay?"
Bo nods her head. "Yeah."
"I heard something. This way," he says.
The two of them have been walking for about fifteen minutes. "I thought you said that you heard something?" says Bo.
"I do," responds Dyson.
"What and where is it? Because I don't see anything and it's been like an hour, into darkness."
"Don't worry I won't let anything happen to you. I can see in the dark."
"That's great for you but…"
"Shh. You hear that?" he asks.
"I'm starting to think you inhaled much when you sniffed the 4/20," says Bo. Footsteps are nearing them. "Maybe you weren't really tripping out," says Bo, hearing them too.
Dyson turns and sees nothing. He turns back. "I hear several steps, but I don't see anything moving."
"I know. It's creeping me out, especially since I can't see all that good right now. Feels like we're walking into a trap," says Bo.
"Bo get ready, we've got trouble."
Bo pulls out her daggers. "I still don't see anything."
"Bo watch out!" yells Dyson, pushing Bo out of the way, making her land on the ground. He growls fighting the attack of a Drider. Bo hears the drop of a weapon. She gets back on her feet and stabs the Drider in the back multiple times until it dies. Dyson throws it off of him.
"What the hell was that thing anyway? I felt little nasty hairs on my arms. And whatever it was, I need a bigger weapon." She feels on the ground for the weapon she heard dropped.
"It was a Drider," he answers.
"A what?" says Bo, finding the weapon. She feels it to see what kind it is, a sword. "Bingo." Bo picks it up. They start walking again.
"They were Drows that have been outcast due to their inability to pass a certain trial after they have reached a peak in their life," says Dyson.
Bo laughs. "You sound like Trick."
"This is serious Bo. They are very vicious. They drain victims of any kind of their blood."
"So they're midget hairy vampires?"
"No, they're Dark elves that turned into Driders."
"Right because now that you said that it makes total sense," says Bo.
"Don't get bitten by them because it's poisonous."
"Why carry weapons if your mouth is one?" asks Bo.
"They come in different sizes and," says Dyson, being cut off by Bo's laughing.
"I'm sorry. Okay. You're killing me here with the comedy," she says, still laughing. "Okay, I'm done." She looks at something. "Hey that's a light." She starts running towards it.
"Bo slow down, you don't know what you might be running into." Dyson next to her.
"Hopefully light. You still didn't tell me what they look like," she says as they enter the lit area of the cavern. She looks down, Driders everywhere. "Maybe if you would have told me that they were elves with spider legs, I would have run in the opposite direction. And there is so many of them."
"I tried to warn you," says Dyson.
"Yeah yeah. This is making my skin crawl. I swear if it weren't for Kenzi being down here."
"Do you see that?" says Dyson, pointing.
"And what do you know, webs. Wait, are those people in them? Can they do that? Is that a giant ass spider? So now we're dealing with giant spiders and Driders. That sounded just as ridiculous as this situation."
"Look there's Kenzi," says Dyson.
They watch Kenzi being led to another area of the cavern by a Drider. Bo is about to yell for Kenzi when Dyson covers her mouth.
"Don't, you'd alert them to us," he says, letting go. "It's too many to fight head on, so we need a different plan of action."
"I don't have time for this Dyson. They could be taking Kenzi there to kill her."
"We don't have adequate weapons. They have weapons and outnumber us. Be smart about this Bo. We can't save Kenzi if we're not alive."
"But Kenzi, she would go after me no matter what. But she wouldn't jump into a mosh pit of monsters. She would sneak in undetected."
"Now it's starting to sound like a plan," says Dyson.
"I guess what we need is a distraction," says Bo. Dyson starts taking off his clothes. "When I said distraction, I was referring to a different kind."
"This is the only way. I'll transform into my wolf. I'll be a lot faster. They won't be able to catch me. And when they give chase, that's when you go after Kenzi."
"But what if that doesn't work and something happens to you. I don't want to take that risk."
"It's my own to bear."
"Wait," says Bo. She kisses Dyson on the lips. "For good luck." Dyson pushes her against the wall, kissing her on the lips with such passion that she allows it, kissing back in return. Then she stops. "What was that?" she asks.
"For good luck," he says. He changes into a wolf, looking at Bo one more time before he runs out, jumping down a ledge.
Just as Dyson said, they chased after him. Bo carefully makes her way across the ledge, jumping down. A Drider sees her and charges, and she rams the sword into its chest, snatching it out. She quickly finds the area where she last saw Kenzi enter. Bo slowly walks in and sees that it is heavily guarded. She walks over to a Drider, touching its shoulder. It relaxes and she sucks chi from it until it passes out, laying it down quietly. She does this until she reaches the area where Kenzi is held.
Kenzi sees Bo. "Bo!" she yells, which alerted the remaining Driders. "Oh my bad, if you make it out of this you can so get me back."
There's a handful left of them and Bo is fighting them off like her life depended on it. Slicing one, charming another making them vulnerable to attack, dodging, hitting with her free hand, and when there's only one left standing, it sprints to her and she decapitates it. Kenzi and about 15 teens and adults run over to her.
"I told you she would come," says Kenzi, to the others. She and Bo hug. "That was bad ass. I mean you actually looked like you knew what you were doing."
"It's because I do Kenzi."
"Sorry I busted your stealth chops," says Kenzi.
"It's okay. I needed the exercise anyway."
"So what are we gonna do now? There's like a gazillion of those things and spiders out there Bo. And where's Dyson, he's not?"
"No he's alive. He's out there being a distraction. And I really don't know. But I hope we can get back the same way we came. Okay listen up everyone. I know that you all are scared, but if we stick together, we can make it out of this alive," says Bo.
"What can we do?" says one adult. "Did you see those things out there?"
"Yeah, not all of us can fight like you," says another.
"We're just as good as dead," says someone else.
"Aren't you my substitute teacher?" asks a boy.
"Hey hey, ungrateful much" says Kenzi. "My girl just risked her life to save all of you, show a little respect."
"Why should we listen to either of you?" says someone.
"Because I'm the one carrying the weapon," says Bo. "And if you want to stay here and get killed be my guest, but I'm leaving with or without you," she says, walking away.
Kenzi next to her. "Dude that was so Tamsin," she says.
"Guess her cruelness is rubbing off on me," says Bo.
"They so deserved it, you should have added bitches at the end though," says Kenzi.
Bo turns back around and sees that everyone is following her. "Okay then."
Kenzi whispers to her. "What are the odds of making it out of here alive?"
"With this group? I would say that we should keep hope alive," Bo answers.
"So the question I should be asking is how much of a chance do you think you and I would have if we ditched them?" says Kenzi.
Suddenly Dyson runs into the area, fully clothed. "Bo, Kenzi, I'm glad you're safe," he says.
"I'm glad you are too. Hey, you got your clothes back on," says Bo. Kenzi looks at Bo oddly. "What's going on?" Bo asks, Dyson.
"Well, I lost them, but they'll find us," he says.
"What should we do?" asks Kenzi. "It's us and them," she looks at the group, who looks terrified. "I know there's a chance we might not make it, but look at them, we're going to get slaughtered."
Dyson looks around. "This area is enclosed. If they find us, we won't be able to escape." Dyson walks over to the group. "Everyone find a weapon. You're going to need it to defend yourselves."
"But I don't know how to fight," says someone.
"Today my friend, you will learn," says Dyson. Everyone picks up a weapon.
"This is too heavy for me," says a girl.
"Mine is too," says another.
"Bo, we are so going to die. Like I was keeping hope alive but," says Kenzi.
Bo hands them each one of her daggers. "Listen up," says Bo. "Today you might have to do something that you've never done before because once we leave this room there's no turning back."
The group looks more petrified than before, some of their weapons trembling in their hands.
"I can see it now, we go out there, they scatter and we die trying to save them," says Kenzi.
"I'd have to agree with Kenzi," says Dyson.
"Well, we can't just leave them here," says Bo.
"That's not what you said earlier," says Kenzi.
"I don't know what we're going to do. Speeches don't work. I feel like I should bind them to me they're so terrified," laughs Bo.
"Shit dude, that's exactly what you should do," says Kenzi.
"What? No? I was only joking," says Bo.
"It might not be such a bad idea," says Dyson.
"What so now you're on Kenzi's side? What if things get out of hand and I can't handle it?" asks Bo.
"I'll get to you before that happens Bo," says Dyson.
"Plus I still remember the words to unbind everyone," says Kenzi.
"I guess we don't really have any other choice. But how am I going to get my blood inside of them?" asks Bo.
"Hows about the old fashion way, intimidation," says Kenzi. "Your attention. I'm going to need everyone to hold out their hands."
"What for?" asks someone.
"Because I said so. And if you have any more questions, I'm sure D man over here would be more than happy to answer them. D man," she says, looking over to Dyson. His eyes change colors and his face turns into part wolf. They all jump back in fear, some with screams, others sighing as if they lost their breaths. "Questions?"
They make unnoticeable cuts on everyone and Bo places drops of her blood into them, Dyson and Kenzi as well.
"I feel good," says someone. They all agree with each other.
"I love you!" yells a boy, to Bo.
"Okay, guess it's working then. Alright everyone listen up. I want you all to stay in a group, and if anything tries to attack you, stab it or hit it first. Try to aim for the heart, if you don't know where that is located it's here," she says, pointing. "Or the head with all your might, if possible. If not, fight them off of you the best way you can, but don't move too far away from the group. If you see anyone needing your help, help them but stay in the group. Are there any questions?" asks Bo.
Everyone raises their hands, including Dyson and Kenzi. "You two put your hands down. Okay you back there?"
"Yeah, I was wondering if you were married?" asks a teenage boy.
"No, I'm not," replies Bo, frowning.
"Want to be?" he asks.
"No more questions from you. Anyone else?" asks Bo. They all raise their hands. "Yes, to the young lady on the left, yes you."
"Would you consider marrying a girl by any chance?" she asks.
"Okay no more questions period," says Bo.
