"A Drive Down Memory Lane"by SargeFan
Sarge walks casually out of her room. She scans the lab, no sign of Slayer or Angel. She walks toward Cleo, now standing at the proximity sensers. Dstroyer, maned at the Underground map, and Hel was pacing back and forth. Mauser still offline.
Sarge: Hey, you guys seen Slayer
Hel: Not since she ran after Angel.
Sarge: She ran after Angel?
Cleo: Yeah, about 20 minutes ago. Where were you?
Sarge: Sleeping.
Cleo: Duh.
Destroyer: Hey look! I have a trace!
The teams come running over to the station, where Destroyer now standing agast.
Sarge: Whats wrong?
Destroyer: They aren`t moving, not even a foot.
Hel: Do you think they were captured?
Sarge: I say we find out.
Voice: Hel, check the parimiters to see if any thugs then go to Slayer, I can`t contact them.
Hel: Okay Voice.
Hel walks over to the proximity sensers and checks them. She turns and faces the team.
Hel: Lets go.
The team files out of the lab and into the shaft. Hel looks down, a red sticky liquid is on the ground next to the ledge. She bends down to examine it. She reaches her two forefingers out to touch it. She brought it close to her face and smelt it.
Sarge: What is it?
Hel: Its blood.
Cleo: What?!?
Destroyer: Their in trouble.
Sarge jumps down the shaft, followed by Hel, Cleo, and Destroyer.
Sarge: What was the level?
Hel: 17, I think.
Cleo: Is this it over here?
She points to a level. It is indeed level 17. The team swings onto the level. All with grace except for the "new kid". They scatter around the level, in search of Slayer or Angel. If they found one, they found the other.
Hel: We`ll split up, we can cover more ground.
Sarge: Yeah, decide the teams.
Hel: Cleo you`re with Sarge. Destroyer, you`re with me.
Sarge grabbed Cleo`s arm and started off on the search. Cleo decided to search the other side of the corridor. Sarge let her go, and continued on her own search. Cleo kicked a couple of boxes and Sarge jumps.
Sarge: Anything?
Cleo: Sorry, Sarge.
Slayer is on the ground, Angel right at her side.The taste of blood again returned to Slayers mouth. A tirckle of blood, escapes from Slayers dry lips, it fell to the side. Angel runs her hand over Slayers left cheek, trying to be comforting. Slayer closes her eyes, as to sleep, but she slowly opens them. Angel slowly picks Slayer up from the cold ground.
Angel: Come on, up.
Slayer: I`m not gonna make it.
Angel pulls Slayer into an embrace. She holds on so tight to the long lost friend, that is now dying in her arms. She sences something wrong, Slayer isn`t hugging her back. She pulls Slayer away from her, and lays her back on the ground, smoothing her hair.
An individual rounds the corner, a light flashes brightly in Angel`s eyes and then to the body on the ground. The individual runs up to the body ont the floor, blonde hair swishing behind her. She kneels on the ground.
Sarge: What happend?
Angel: Tarakan assasin, need I say more?
Sarge: No. Cleo!
The young blond rounded the same corner and walked casually to Sarge. When she saw the surprize on the ground she picked up her pace.
Cleo: Is she ....
Angel: On the brink of it.
Sarge: Cleo, go get Hel. We need to take Slayer to the hospital.
Without anymore words, Cleo gets up and runs out the corridor to find Hel and Destroyer. Sarge looks down at Slayer on the ground.
Angel: We have to get her to a hospital.
Hel, Destroyer and Cleo come running throught the vast corridor. The stop at Slayers side.
Hel: Lets move her.
Sarge and Angel get on either side of Slayer and pick her up. Slayer winces in pain. Her torso still bleeds. Sarge and Angel carry her out to the edge of the level. Angel and sarge shoot their weblaunchers and climb a few levels with Slayer. They finally get to the hospital level. Angel kicks open a door and a doctor looks up at the team. Angel and Sarge drag Slayer in.
Doctor: You can`t bring her in here!
Slayer raises her head. The doctor apparently noticing the rebel leader, looked in horror.
Doctor: Nurse, move this patient to another room, we have a bigger problem on our hands.
Angel and Sarge help Slayer to the table, getting her on it.
Doctor: What happened?
Angel: Tarakan assasians.
Doctor: Give me room. Go with your team to the waiting room. I`ll need to work on her.
Sarge, Angel, Cleopatra, Destroyer and Hel step out of the operating room and into a green room with chairs.
Cleo: You would have thought, after 500 years, they still always have waiting rooms.
Destroyer: Really.
Inside the hospital, it differed from the hospitals in the year 2000. Instead of streachers they had beds that float in the air, and instead of metal tools. they used the new advanced technology like lasers and infored beams. The patients, however, will never change, they are still complaining about the slow service and crummy nurses.
Inside the emergency room, laid Slayer. She was breathing less now. The doctor and the nurse by her side. A very devistated expression came over his face. Slayer wondered why but didn`t have the guts to ask. Her eyelids felt heavy, and her body wouldn`t move. She was dying, nothing could save her.
Doctor: She`s a goner. She won`t make it.
At that instant Slayer`s eyelids start to collapse, she can`t see and finally she lets out her last breath. She turns solid as a stone, and is never to be heard from.
Doctor: She`s gone.
Nurse: Isn`t there something else we can do?
Doctor: No, she is to be creamated after the last words are spoken to her. You break the news to them, I can`t bear it.
The doctor walks out and down the other corridor,away from the team. The nurse, covers up the cold dead body of Slayer. She walks out the door into the waiting room.At the sight of the nurse, Sarge and Angel stood up at the same time. The grim face of the woman told worlds of words, among them stood death. Death. Both of the girls knew that the end of Slayer had come.
Nurse: I`m sorry to inform you of Slayers passing. We couldn`t save her. She was too far gone. you may say your final words. She will be creamated after that.
The nurse turned and walked down the corridor that the doctor had walked down just before. Sad faces come over the now silent crowd. One by one, each of the team members went in to say their good byes. Hel is the first one in with Destroyer. They walk up to the slab with Slayer on it.
Destroyer: Damn. She was a good fighter.
Hel: She didn`t know her strength.
Destroyer: Now the world will know, the best had been slain.
Destroyer and Hel left, knowing that they will never see Slayer again. Cleo walked in, after Destroyer and Hel left. Cleo laid her hand on Slayers forehead, she remembers all the times that she had together with Slayer.
Cleo: Hey th-e, remember the time when we met those hot guys at your summer house, and they turned out to be your brothers best friend? Behind the feildhouse with Lester Nezwiky, root beer shnopps was a major contributing factor. I remembered when we graduated, Jackie flashed the principal. God that was funny. I`m gonna miss you, Thea. No matter how I try I`m gonna miss you.
Cleo removes her hand from Slayers forehead. She walks out the door. Sarge hurried in, she ran up to the slab which held the dearly departed Slayer.
Sarge: I`ll never forget that night Slayer, we had some good times together. I wish we had more. You`ll stay in my heart. Cleo`s gonna miss you......I love you, Slayer. I know you knew but, I need to say those words. It helps me feel better. Goodbye my love.
Sarge leans foward and their lips meet. Even though Slayer is dead her lips are still full of life. Sarge wanted Slayer so bad. So much that she couldn`t even stand it. It was like they were soul mates, seperated once, but now reunited. Sarge pulls away and stands away. She walks out the door. Angel was nexr, she walked a fast pace, through the door. She walks up to Slayer, and holds her hand. HSe says the words only she could hear.
Angel: I thought I could save you. But, I guess I can`t save the world. You`re everything to me, Slayer. You`re my world. You`re the people, the houses, and the fun. Take all that away and what do you have? A damn dark and dreary place. You`ll never leave me Slayer, no matter where you go. I`ll always be where you are, no matter what happens. I`ll always love you.
Voice: Angel, rehabilitate her. She can`t leave this earth.
Angel: If you insist.
Angel places her hand over the wound, she bent in to kiss Slayer on the lips. Their lips meet. Angel starts kissing Slayer passionatly, but Slayer doesn`t kiss back, she isn`t alive. At that very second Sarge walks into the door. She sees Angel passionatly kissing Slayer. To Sarges surprise, the body on the slab started to cooperate with Angel. Slayer was alive again. She was kissing Angel, right in front of Sarge`s eyes! The kiss goes on a little longer and then quits. Slayer reclines back down. A gasp is heard from across the room. Slayer turns her head to see Sarge, staring at her and Angel. Sarge runs out of the emergency room. Slayer tried to get up, but the imence pain in her chest stopped her.
Slayer: SARGE!
It was too late. Sarge had already ran out of the door and down the corridor.
Slayer: I have to get her!
Slayer stood up with little pain and ran after Sarge. Angel looks down to where Slayer was laying just minutes before, sharing the most passionate kiss with her. She gets up and walks out the wall.
Slayer runs after Sarge. But due to her injury she is much more slower then her usual speed. Sarge flew down a shaft, and then another to make sure she wasn`t followed. Slayer follows no too close behind. Sarge doesn`t know. Sarge goes down the most darkest level there could be. You couldn`t see three feet in front of you. Sarge settled down by the wall, she weeps softly.
Sarge: How can I have been so stupid. She doesn`t love me, she loves Angel. Why was I born into love?
Slayer hiding behind a corner, heard these words and it finally clicked inside her head that Sarge was in love with her. She had always known there was something about Sarge that never met the eye. Something burried deep within her, waiting to be unlocked. Slayer had the key to her heart. She had known it all along, she couldn`t bring herself up to that. Slayer feeling deep for Sarge, had to do something. She made a rock fly across the room. It hit the wall with a "clack". Sarge turns around.
Sarge:(with a teary voice): IDENTIFY YOURSELF!
Slayer stepped out of the corner she was hiding in. Sarge could see the outline of her, but not the person. She still didn`t knwo who it was.
Sarge: Identify yourself or I`ll shoot!
Slayer stopped. Sarge turned on the light on her gauntlet and shone it in Slayers eyes. Sarge dropped her arms and ran to Slayer. She hugged her like never before. She laid her head on Slayers neck.
Slayer: Miss me?
Sarge pulled away from the hug. She remembered why she had ran away from her in the first place. She had betrayed her, she was with Angel now. Sarge pulled a hand back and slapped Slayer across the face. Slayer in a state of shock, recooperated slowly, and turned her head back to Sarge.
Slayer: I take that as a no.
Sarge goes to slap Slayer again, she connects with her face with a great force. Slayers head slams to the side again. She returns to look at Sarge. Rather not looking at Sarge but looking behind her. A shadowy figure was coming in fast. Sarge was talking about how her values were mistrusted, Slayer had to think of a plan to get Sarge to shut up and to get her out of the way. A plan came to mind. Before Sarge could say another word, Slayer pulled her in for a kiss, she slammed Sarge up against the wall and continued kissing her until the gaurd dissapeard. She let go of the kiss and followed the motion of the gaurd. She turned back to Sarge.
Slayer: I think he`s .......
Sarge pulled Slayer in for a deep kiss. To Sarge`s surprize, Slayer didn`t kiss back. She didn`t know if it was her fault or if it was Slayer`s fault. She pulled away. Slayer searched Sarge`s eyes. Not knowing what to find. Slayer looked into Sarge`s deep brown eyes and then a sudden blow to the head, took her by surprie. She fell over onto her back, holding her nose. Sarge, noticing what she had done, looked in horror then went to Slayers side. She reached for Slayer`s head but was only to be smacked away by Slayer.
Sarge: Oh, God, what have I done?
Slayer got up and shook her head. She starts walking into the darkness.
Sarge: Slayer wait!
Sarge runs after Slayer. She hits into an arm. Its Slayers. She was to stop. There was a gaurd there. He was heavly armed. He started walking toward the two women. Slayer rushes Sarge to the closest spot. The wall behind the corner. Slayer rushed Sarge onto the wall, they get as close as they can possibly get. Their bodies touching everytime one of them breathed. The gaurd walks past the two women. Slayers` gaze follows him while he was making his routine check. Sarge wanted to feel loved, she moved her nose up the curve of Slayers neck. Trying to make her love her. She wanted to have Slayer, but she couldn`t, she was forbiddin fruit. The guard left. Slayer turns around to face Sarge. She places two fingers on Sarges lips.
Slayer: Hey, come on. Lets go.
Slayer grabs Sarge`s hand and runs out to the shaft. Slayer stops, she lets go of Sarge`s hand. She looks at her wound, its healing quite nicely. But the pain is still there. Slayer winces in pain as she took a deep breath. Sarge walks in front of Slayer. She pulls open the shirt that Slayer was wearing, to reveal the bad wound on her chest.
Sarge: That looks bad.
Slayer(closing her shirt): Feels bad too.
Slayer shoots her weblauncher to antoher level, Sarge does the same. Landing on a new level, Slayer leads the way. Sarge takes Slayers hand, trailing behind her.
In the lab, Angel is packing heat. A few lasers and a gun.
Hel: What are you going to need that for?
Angel: A special Tarrakian assassin.
Cleo: Your going after him?
Angel: Yeah. I`m gonna nuke his ass.
Angel walks out the holographic wall and flies to the next levels.
Sarge and Slayer reach the lab level and walk in. Angel is no where to be found. Slayer stumbles a little, but gets her grip.
Slayer: Where`s Angel? I need to talk to her.
Cleo: She left.
Hel: Unimportant buisness. She`ll be back soon.
Slayer: Good. I`m gonna have a little talk with Sarge.
Sarge: See you in the next millenium.
Sarge takes Slayers hand and they walk into Sarge room. Sarge sits on the bed and Slayer sits on a chair, elbows on knees.
Slayer: We need to talk.
Sarge: Obviously.
Angel sneaks down a corridor, and holds a gun to a mans back. He is faced to the lab.
Angel: Don`t touch that scope! You`ll be dead in two seconds.
Man: Ah, Angel. The bounty on you is almost as equal.
Angel: Shut up! So, you were the one who shot her huh?
Man: If I say no will you hurt me?
Angel: Yeah. It doesn`t matter, Tarakan assans, trying to kill my friends on me, I don`t think thats right.
She pulls the trigger. A laser shot was heard and the man crumbles to the ground.
Angel: Your favors done, Slayer.
She dissapears into the darkness.
Inside Sarge`s room, Slayer and Sarge were still talking. Slayer holding a straight face, Sarge nearly into tears.
Slayer: So, what has your heart told you to do?
Sarge, gets up off the bed. She walks toward Slayer, kneeling when she finally reached her. She stares into Slayers sea-green eyes.
Sarge: I don`t know wether to let my heart go, or love you.
Sarge wanted to be held, Slayer opened her arms to Sarge. Sarge was engulfed in Slayer`s graceful embrace. She pulls away. Just the touch of her skin, made Sarge all fluttery inside. Too many times, way too many times now, Sarge had thought about just laying underneath the stars, seeing a comet, and having fun at a picnic. But all of these this couldn`t come true, if the bailies would find them, they would be terminated, or worse, be turned into betrayers. Sarge leaned back into her chair, that she ever so slowly pulled up. She wanted to hold Slayer, to give her last goodbyes to her, because of a love that couldn`t be, wouldn`t be. She leans foward in her chair. She extends an hand to Slayers face.
Sarge: Can I just........
Sarge didn`t wait for a responce, she placed her hand on Slayers cheek, carressing it so softly. Running her fingers down Slayers face, sorrowful eyes overwhelm Slayers face. Sarge runs her index, middle and ring finger down Slayers face, causing her to close her eyes. Stopping at Slayers lips, running her fingertips ever so lightly across the contours of her wonderful lips. She moves her hand so that only the thumb can touch her lips, the rest of her hand is cupped around Slayers jaw. Slayer reaches up and holds Sarges hand on her jaw. Slayer carefully slides her lips to kiss the corners of Sarge`s palm. Slowly moving up Sarge`s hand, she kisses the forefingers and works her way up to the base of the hand. She kisses the hand and moves her hand so that her face was suported by Sarge`s knuckles. Sarge`s hand extends to hold Slayers face in her palm, Sarge leaned in for the kiss. Slayer didn`t realize until it was too late, Sarge had already planted a kiss on her lips, she didn`t kiss back.
Slayer(internal thought): Let her finish what she started, it`ll be better for her, she`ll get over me.
Sarge noticing that Slayer wasn`t kissing back for the same reason, pulled away.
Sarge: We shouldn`t be doing this. I `m going to miss you so much, I won`t be able to stand it.
Slayer: You will, just forget me. I was never here, you never loved me at all.
Sarge: Oh, god. I can`t stand it! Thea, I love you! I know you know, but I love you!
Sarge falls into Slayers arms. She cries on Slayers shoulder, until she had no more tears to shed. She was soundly sleeping on Slayers shoulder. Slayer lifts up Sarge and puts her in her bed. She pulls up the covers and walks out of the door and Sarge`s life. She walks out the door and into the lab.
Hel: Sarge? (turning around)
Hel sees Slayer and goes back to her work.
Slayer: Hey Hel. Mornin. Where`s Angel?
Hel: Haven`t seen her. I thought she was with you.
Slayer:(shakes her head): No. I was with Sarge, we had to talk. She didn`t come back?
Hel: No.
Cleo stumbles into the lab, noticing Hel, but not Slayer.
Cleo: Hey Hel, did Angel come back from killin` that assain?
Hel shoots Cleo a look that stopped her from saying anything else.
Slayer: She went after that assasian? Hel. Why didn`t you tell me?
Hel: She said not to tell you, she`d be right back.
Slayer(taking an angry tone): Well, she`s not!
Slayer grabs her gun and walks out of the lab. She gets ready to fire her weblauncher to the next level, a person with short hair, was hanging off the ledge. Slayer reaches down and grabs the hanging individual and pulls her up. To her surprise its Juniper. The same Juniper she had left in the box earlier.
Juniper: God! It took me forever to get back up here!
Slayer: Good, go inside, I`ll be back.
Juniper stands there and Slayer departs. She shoots her weblauncher and goes to a dark level and starts scanning the level. Juniper walks inside and is greeted by Cleo.
Cleo: Did you see her?
Juniper: Who? When?
Cleo: Slayer!
Juniper: Yeah! She was just outside. She said she`ll be right back.
Hel: I wonder what she`s gonna do.
Juniper: Whats up with The? She didn`t look so happy.
Slayer runs down a corridor. Laser fire can be heard in a bar, not far away from where Slayers curent position is. She runs head on into the fight. She pulls her gun and starts firing at the opposite side. They fire back and struck a man, next to Slayer in the chest. The leader on the other side ges up and starts moving.
Slayer(to man): If I can get their leader, would all this stop?
Man: I don`t know, you want to try?
Slayer: Yeah, cover me.
Slayer gets up and crouches into a pounce attack position. Their leader took leave, they started foward. Slayer pouced, nocking the leader down. Slayer rolled over and got up. The individual had on a face mask, covering everything except the eyes, which were a pale blue. The leader got up and turned to face Slayer. When the leader turned, they were hit in the face by Slayer`s right hook. The leader staggers back. Slayer advances and gets ready to throw another punch, but stared at the leaders icy blue eyes instead. Something familiar was in these icy blue eyes, a sense of love. Slayer took off the mask that covered the face. Lo and behold it was Angel. The Angelic Protector was defending her people. They look at each other in awe and then confuzion.
Slayer(out-of-breath):Angel?
