Present

"Yo Bo-bo, next time I talk you into taking a case where the a treasure map is involved just slap me. Cuz really ain't my shit to be walking knee deep in bat guano, down some dark tunnel." Kenzi yapped at her friend. "I mean really who puts a treasure down in a cave tunnel that goes on forever. And did I mention the cobwebs this is so not my shit."

"Hey tried to warn you sweetie, but no you insisted on getting rich on pirate booty." the succubus answered. Thinking how she they had taken a case for a light fae elder that involved a recovering an underfae creature that could seriously cause alot of damage to the Fae world if it was seen by humans. He had offered them the treasure map saying that it was really and even gave an oath that if it did not leave anything they could return it for a smaller reward. And thinking pirate booty, the succubus's eager friend quickly took the map hoping to that it lead to something worth the trouble.

"Bo, I think we are coming up on a room or something up ahead. What do you think it is?"

"Well only one way to find out, come on let's see if we are going to be rich or if we got played." Taking the lead into the room just in case there was anything in here. As they both girls came into the room the rustling of movement behind them made them turn around quickly and tall figure came out of the shadows.

"Boo.." Dyson said with a grin on his face, giving a small chuckle when he heard Kenzi give a shriek. And then feeling the multiple hits of said person punching him in the chest and cursing in Russian.

"Not funny, dog-breath, " hissed as her nerves calmed down glaring at Dyson. "You almost made me pee myself, and really that is jus uncool man."

Bo just punched him in the arm hard, "I should so thrall you and make you serve beer in a dress at the Dal for that. You scared the crap out of us." Amusement in her eyes at the look Dyson had in his eyes at that threat. "What the hell are you doing here anyway?"

"Sorry for scaring you like that...it was just so easy." Looking at Bo and then towards Kenzi, "I couldn't help myself, but again I am sorry." Although saying it and meaning it were two very different things, but what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them. "Trick said you guys got suckered into looking for Eldar Rackon's treasure map. You know he has offered countless others this same map and no one has ever found anything with it. Thought I would come out here and tell you in person, since phone service is sorta out under here."

"Oh that jackhole, I knew we were being played." Kenzi stated forgetting that it was her that insisted on taking the treaure map. "Probally sitting at home laughing his scaly ass off at the the thought of us wondering around in this maze getting lost."

Dyson looked at the both, "Yeah it is why I came out here, these tunnels go on for miles with twists and turns. I was able to track you easily enough but even I had to mark my way to you."

Bo looked at the shifter that she had once had feelings for, "thanks for coming to our rescue. Although these tunnels seem pretty easy to navigate I could find my way out of here." Thinking she really had no trouble navigating the tunnels even when they had to double back to take a different tunnel. "Besides I think we are getting close to the end, we saw a room up ahead before you decided to play shadow monster on us."

"Yeah so we might as well see what is in the room, then go back and then flush that elders head down a toilet." Kenzi called out. "I am so not ever doing treasure maps again."

As the three walked into the room, the first thing they saw were the ancient statues that encircled the room. "Well no one has ever gotten to this place, according to all the people that we have had to come find in here. No one has ever mentioned this room." Dyson added, intrigued now room something about it reminded him of something.

"Well see there is something, were the first to make it here...although I don't see any treasure." Bo looked around not seeing that was worth all this trouble.

"Speak for yourself mama-bear." As Kenzi bent over picking up several stones that looked liked uncut diamonds from the floor. A small pile had formed, she quickly gathered them around. "See I knew that treasure map was good, I can retire young now." As Bo came over to see the small stack of about 15 diamonds.

"Well I would say that is a good payoff for this trip." As Bo kept looking around at the statues. Something seemed off about this whole place and it was giving her a nervous feeling. Looking over at Dyson she could tell he was just as nervous, "You feel that? Like something in the air?" Asking the shifter, who seemed just as on edge as she had gotten as he sniffed the air.

"Yeah there is power here and it is strong." As he went on alert, something was not right. "I think we need to get out of here, I am not liking the smell of this place."

"Yeah I agree, Kenzi time to go." Bo shouted to her friend. Turning to make sure the human was ready, movement in the tunnels behind them spewed forth several humanoid creatures with weapons raised. They looked like humans except for the crown of horns encircling their head and the long sharp teeth protruding from their mouths.

"Tresspassers, you will not awaken her. Kill them! Kill them all!" One of the creatures shouted at the other three underfae. As it leaped for Bo with sword raised. Bo able to dodge the creature and grab its arm as it tried to swing the sword around. Dyson had placed himself in fron to Kenzi to protect her while he fought off two of the creatures. Kenzi had jumped on the rock in the center of the room to avoid being killed.

"Oh sure it seems elderberry jackhole forgot to mention that there were things down here also. Stupid elder fae. " Kenzi swore as she dug in her waist bag for something that Hale had given her to help protect herself with. Pulling out the small stun gun she fumbled around trying to protect herself when the fourth of the underfae launched itself at her with his giant sword.

Hearing Kenzi scream, Bo quickly looked over at her friend in trouble and grabbed the underfae she was dealing with and sucked his chi out of him and then reversed the flow. Now with it under command she gave it orders.

"Protect my friend now." As she pointed to the small Russian trying to aim the tazer gun at the one coming at her. Bo looked over towards Dyson to see that he had already dispatched one of the underfae and was dealing with the second one. Deciding that he fine she ran towards Kenzi, when she saw the small woman fire the tazer sending three small electrorudes into the charging uderfae and keeping the trigger pulled sending all the electricity it had into the body. The sword that he had been carrying fell from its hand hitting the rock in front of Kenzi hard causing a crack to form. The thralled underfae got to the stunned one before Bo could and in one quick move sliced its head clean off, unfortunately when the sword struck the body the electricity flowed up the sword and into the thralled underfae. Bo looked onward as the jolt must have cleared her command over it as it turned back around with a deadly look. Charging the succubus, Bo picked up a the sword that had hit altar and defended herself. Taking advantage of her speed she quickly deflected a blow to her left side and struck the underfae cleanly in the chest. Looking over towards Dyson she saw that he had finished the second one he was fighting but was holding he arm protectively.

"You ok, Kenz?" Bo addressed the small human first worry laced her eyes. Seeing the nod saying she was okay, she turned to Dyson. "How bad is it?" indicating his arm he was holding.

"Just a scratch, I think we need to get the hell out of here before anymore of those things decide to show." He still was getting that feeling that something very powerful was still around here and he did not want to be here if it showed.

"Yeah I agree, lets get the hell out of here. Drinks are on Kenz, since she hit the windfall." Bo looked at her closest friend and winked. "See that treasure map did get you something."

"Let's just go and get away from here, I don't like when orc things come out trying to kill little ol'me.

As they gathered up to head out a small rumbling could be heard from behind them. As they turned to face whatever was about to come at them. They saw a light shoot out from the crack that had formed on the rock altar, the crack grew wider as the light shown more and more.

"Ok we need to get the hell out of here, now." Dyson yelled turning to lead the two women out. Both already turning to run also. The three took off as fast as they could, not bothering to look back as the light filled the room. What seemed like hours but was only a half-hour they three emerged at the cave entrance and quickly ran to the cars that they parked nearby. Dyson was already calling a security detail to make sure the cave was sealed up before anything could come out. This was not going to be good.

"You two head on back and I will meet you later at the Dal. I need to wait for the security team to show up to make sure nothing else comes out of here. Can't have anymore of those underfae loose in the world. Should not be too long." Dyson told the two ladies already hearing the security cars vehicles, one thing about the fae clean up teams they were quick to respond.

"Meet you at the Dal when you can. And I am glad you decided to show up, we probally would not have come out as good as we did otherwise." Bo stated, geniune relief that he had come to find them.

"Anytime Bo, you know that. But do me a favor, and the next time someone offers you a treasure map as reward, say no thanks." Dyson smirked as he said that. "You never know what kind of trouble you are going to find, and you really don't need help to find trouble."

"Ha-ha, you know I was going to buy you a drink, but now you are on your own." as she blew a raspberry at him as she got in her car and pulled out headed for the Dal.

Down in the room, two hands reached either side of the crack that was already there and pulled them apart with ease. A woman emerged as she looked around at the scene, she did not know how long she had slept. She spied something on the ground it looked like a wallet of some kind, picking it up she saw a picture of a woman with her named printed on the card also. "Well Kenzi, it seems I owe you for waking me. She smelled the air and cast a small spell that would help her track down her saviour." She heard footsteps in the distance and knowing that she was not at full strength yet she decided to make a hasty retreat using the hidden tunnel that her servant and daughter had used. First she would find this Kenzi person and thank her for awaking her and then should find her baby girl and no one had better try and stop her.
