(Chapter-24)

Back at the werehouse Mia was cusing up a storm, "I don't give a damn, I want those bitches sidelined. I want a plan that will take them out of action." Robert sighed, "We can't get near that school without being detected. Their security systems makes those at Area-51 look like something used for a second hand bank." Diana smiled, "I have a plan that will get them out of the way for a few hours giving us a chance to get the Garou's mate and bring it to us."

Mia looked at her sister, "How can you do that without tipping them off that it's a trap?" Diana smiled, "Why little ol' me is gonna be going into the Zone and be rescued." Mia smiled, "And when they go in to get you we can grab the girl named Jules. Once we have her we can get to the Garou and the other girl named Hermione." Mia looked at Francis, "Call that Lycan Oz and have him stand ready, once we have all four in one place we'll elimenate them all."

That evening back at the school, everyone was in the dinning hall, Faith smiled, "So you chose to be joined with Selmak so you can be healed of the cancer you had?" Jacob nodded, "That and I was choosen to be the earth's ambassador." Just then Rachael ran in, "We have an emergency, a young girl wondered into the Zone by accident." Faith nodded, "I'll want Buffy, Shego, Kim and Jules to come with me."

Bonnie looked up, "Can I go?" Faith shook her head, "Not this run, I want you here just in case it's a set up by the Vampires to try and pull you away." Bonnie nodded and walked up to Jules and took her in her arms, "You be careful." Jules kissed Bonnie, "I will." Bonnie looked at Faith, "You will make sure she returns safe won't you?" Faith smiled, "You damn right I will."

Several minutes later the five entered the Zone. Since they never really got a good look at Diana they wouldn't know she was one of the Van Helsing's. Diana seen them in the distance and yelled, "Help Me!" Faith looked around, "Where are you?" Diana smiled, "I'm by an old library." Faith nodded, "I know where you're at, stay there." Faith looked at her watch, "Damn ten minutes before sundown, lets haul ass people." A few moments later they found Diana hiding behind a burnt out car.

Faith smiled, "There you are, how did you get lost?" Diana shivered, "I was taking a dare that I can get through the Zone before sundown, I made a wrong turn and got lost." Buffy looked at the girl with questionable eyes. Buffy wondered how the hell could she get lost when the route through the Zone is well marked. Faith seen it as youthful stupidy, "Ok lets go we need to be out of here in five minutes." Faith looked at Buffy, "Which entrance are we closer to?"

An hour later Faith, Buffy, Shego and Kim were back at the school and walked into the dinning hall. Bonnie looked at Faith, "Where's Jules?" Faith looked at Bonnie, "She isn't here?" Bonnie shook her head, "No, why?" Faith turned looking at the gate, "When we finished rescuing the girl we stopped at Burger King to get something to eat. When we left there we heard a scream. It was only two young lovers playing in a swimming pool. When we turned Jules was gone, so we thought she went on ahead of us."

Buffy closed her eyes, "What a setup." Faith looked at Buffy, "What do you mean?" Buffy sighed, "I only got a very short glance of her, but the girl we rescued needed no rescuing." Shego crossed her arms, "Who was she?" Buffy placed her hands on her hips, "I do believe it was Diana Van Helsing, I should have seen it." Faith raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Just then Racheal called on the intercom. Faith answered it, "What's up Racheal?" Racheal spoke back, "You need to get to the Command Center, Mia's on the line." Once in the Command Center, Shego looked at Rachael, "On Screen." A moment later Mia was on the screen, "Hello Faith, I want you to know we have the girl Jules." Bonnie stiffened, "You better not hurt her." Faith placed her hands on Bonnie's shoulders, "Easy there girl." Faith looked at the screen, "What do you want Mia?"

Mia nodded, "Straight to the point, I like that. There's a few things I want, One-I want that Garou, Two-I want the new girl Hermione Granger. Someone will be very happy to get her back. And Three I want you to cease all slaying activity in this town. We'll do all the work from her on out." Faith crossed her arms, "And if I say no?" Mia sat back, and pressed a button that showed Jules in a room that was heating up.

Mia reappeared, ""She dies, and then I'll lob a couple of special weapons I have at your school turning it into rubble. It's your choice." Mia looked at her watch, "I'll call back in ten minutes for your answer." Mia cut the connection. Bonnie looked at Faith, "Please, don't let Jules die, I can't live without her." Faith smiled, "Don't worry, we're going to get your Jules back. And you're going to help do it."

Hermione turned, "What did she mean by someone will be happy to get me back?' Just then everyone spoke at the same time, "Oz!" Hermione raised an eyebrow, "I don't think so." Bonnie stiffened, "His Lycan ass is mine." Faith smiled, "He's yours and Hermione's going to help you get him." Rachael spoke up, "You better not let her get hurt." Faith smiled, "I promise." Rachael nodded, "It's her again." Faith nodded, "On screen."

Faith looked at Mia, "You said ten minutes." Mia smiled, "I lied, now what's your answer." Faith sighed, "Agreed." Mia smiled, "I knew you would see it my way. Meet me for the exchange at this address in one hour." Mia cut the connection. Faith shook her head, "We'll meet you there, but your not going to like what you find." Faith looked at the others, "Everybody knows what do do?"

Faith smiled, "Good, now Kim I need you to go to this werehouse, it's where they're holding Jules. Kim looked at the address, "Isn't this the old steel foundry?" Faith nodded, "Yea why?" Kim smiled, "When me and Shego first got here we went there to release some energy. I know right where she's being held." Faith smiled, "Lets move people."

An hour later the group was at the appointed address. There they saw Mia and her brothers with a girl in a hood and hands behind her back. Bonnie sniffed, "That's not Jules." Faith smiled, "I know." Mia hollered, "Send them over and we'll release her." Faith nodded, "Showtime." Bonnie walked with Hermione towards Mia and her brothers. As she got closer her eyes started to change colors. Bonnie smiled and looked at Hermione, "Get ready."

As the two got to the halfway point Mia released the hooded girl. When the hood was remove anyone in their right mind could see that they did a piss poor ass job of making Diana look like Jules. Jules nodded to Bonnie who just smiled. "Now! A moment later Hermione pulled out her wand just as Bonnie went Crinos. Hermione pointed her wand at Mia, "Wingardium Leviosa!" Bonnie was on the others like fleas are to a dog. Just then Oz being in Lycan form charged out of nowhere and slamed into Bonnie.

To make sure the ones Bonnie had on the ground didn't go anywhere Hermione cast another spell, "Immobulis." For Bonnie and Oz, it was now a fight to the death that nobody could stop.

At the steel foundry Shego, and Kim slipped in with out being noticed. Francis and Paula were sitting at their computers when Shego and Kim droped right infront of them. Shego smiled, "Hi, remember us?" Paula went flying backwords into the van behind her where as Francis landed in a sludge pool. Kim turned to the oven where Jules was being held, when she seen the temperature had reached one hundred and twenty degrees she raised her hands and blasted the door open.

Kim walked in and lifted the unconcious girl up and carried her out into the cool air. Kim laid Jules on the ground, "Jules, Jules. Come on girl wake up. Come on Jules, Bonnie needs you." Kim looked up at Shego, "She's not waking up, get some water." Shego ran back to the desk and grabbed a bottle of water and gave it to Kim. Kim slowly poured some on Jules's face.

Kim sat the bottle down, "Jules, wake up. Bonnie need you." Kim shook her head, "Julianna Callaghan, wake up right now. Wake up." Kim picked up the water and poured some more water on Jules's face. Jules head turned, "Where's Bonnie, I want Bonnie." Kim and Shego smiled. Shego knelt down, "We'll take you to your Bonnie." Shego walked over to the other two Van Helsings and tied them up and threw them in the van. Kim carried Jules and gentely placed her in the van also. Shego and Kim got in and headed out.

At the excange site Bonnie was in full crinos form locked in a fight to the death with Oz who was in Lycan form. When the fight started Oz had gotten the upper hand, but Bonnie was a little smarter then he was and turned the tables. Bonnie brought up a huge paw and slamed it into Oz's face knocking him sideways to the left, She then extended her claws and brought them down across his chest causing him to howl in pain. Bonnie then grabbed him by the throat and threw him across the compound.

With a giant leap Bonnie landed on top of his chest. Oz seen this and braced himself for such a move. He then use his hind legs and shoved Bonnie off. But she was right back on him slaming her huge paws into his face and chest. Several minutes later Shego and Kim arrived with Jules. Without looking Jules looked at Shego, "Why is Bonnie in Crinos form?" Shego looked at Jules, "She's fighting Oz." Jules nodded, "And it'll be a fight to the death."

A few moments later Shego, Kim and Jules was standing with Faith and the others. Jules looked at Faith, "How's the fight going?" Faith crossed her arms, "It's about over, Bonnie's winning." Just as she said that Bonnie grabbed Oz again by the neck and slamed him into the ground. Bonnie walked up to Oz grabbed his head in her arms and gave it a twist until she heard s sickning snapping sound. When she heard that Oz went limp.

Bonnie stood there howling over Oz's dead body. She looked down and saw him revert to back into a human. She turned again and howled. Jules walked slowly up to Bonnie and gentely touched her huge right paw. Bonnie looked down with her left paw raised ready to strike when she seen it was Jules. Jules raised her hands and touched Bonnies face. This caused Bonnie to calm down and revert back to being a human, "Jules?" Jules took Bonnie into her aems, "Yes it's me."

Bonnie looked down at OZ, "I killed him." Jules looked into Bonnies eyes, "You killed him because he tried to kill you." Faith smiled, "Ok people lets head back to the school and contact the police..." Faith looked around, "Where's the Van Helsings?" Kim looked at the Van, "There's a note." Faith opened it and read it, "Don't think this is over. It's just beginning. it looks like the Van Helsings are here to stay gang." Buffy smiled, "Lets head home."

At the dinning hall Faith smiled, "Janet wants Jules to chill out for a couple of days, she said she's lucky to be alive." Jacob nodded, "It was very intresting to see what you girls do here. But I'm due at the SGC for a very important meeting." Sam amiled, "Will we see you again?" Jacob nodded, "Count on it Slemak want's me to patch things up with your brother." Sam nodded, and hugged him, "Come back soon." Jacob hugged her back, "I will." Jacob then hugged Anne, Lara, Kim and Shego. He then leaned in and gave a small kiss to his great granddaughters and a small kiss his to his grandson.

After Jacob left the others sat at the table having something to drink. Faith sighed, "We had a long day my friends, it's time to get some sleep." Nobody argued with her on that subject. Faith stood, "See ya all in the morning just to see what kind of trouble we can get into," They all laughed and went to their homes to get some sleep.

Back in Washington D.C. Kinsey sat back in his chair and talking to Talbert on the phone, "Just start the operations, I want that school surrounded by morning. If we can't keep people out. then maybe we can keep them in." Kinsey hung up the phone and got up and joind his wife at a dinner they were hosting in their home.
