A very old story, Hope you guys enjoy and Happy new Year! Key: M/F, FD, MD, MC, Hypno, Knock out, Darts, Gas, Freezing, Bondage. Description: This is an old story that I wrote many years ago for a girl I was dating at the time. It is a good example of just how far I have coming in both storytelling and grammar. The plot is idiotic, 120 people all playing a costumed version of laser tag with weapons that incapacitate whomever is hit. It’s simply pure fun and not intended to be canon. Enjoy! “It is a dark time for the city of new Chicago, Crime has run rampant, politicians have become... errr... more corrupt than usual. Solar Flares have de-energized the power grid, mutants are roaming the streets, cats and dogs live together, it’s mass hysteria! The world has devolved into a realm of squabble and wars. Small factions fighting against one another to control small plots of barren wasteland. Sides divided by things as simple as race, creed, religion, gender, or food preferences. These small wars are quick but brutal, and in the end only one faction will reign supreme, only one faction shall rise above the ashes to claim victory in this forsaken land, only one faction will be victorious! My name is Xander and I lead the faction known as the Defilers, and this is our...” “What the hell are you doing?” Interrupted Ruby looking at Xander rather annoyed. “I think he’s monologuing?” Commented Liam trying to hide a smile at his boss getting caught red handed.  “Who said you were the leader of our team?” asked Sam holding a rather large laser rifle at Xander with a grin.  “Defilers?” Commented Celest looking at him with a sideways grin more playful than annoyed.  “I have a question?” Asked Shadow standing there in the group of 16 miss-matched individuals. The 15 others looked at her curiously. “what the hell are we doing here?” she said kind of exasperated.  “Were going to play a form of paintball” chimed up Nick looking as his girlfriend rather confused.  “I know what we are supposed to be doing here, but I am more confused with the question of, why are we here... together... all of us, working together, I mean really, He tried to kill most of us the other day!” Pointing to Joshua who slink-ed back behind Chloe to hide. For her part Chloe smiled and patted his butt softly while pretending to defend him.  Shadow continued, “not all of us get along on the same team, these two are supposed to be trapped in the 1400’s” pointing to Josh and Rose, “your not supposed to have a tail” pointing to the full incubus Xander” and why the hell do you have a tan!?” she asked looking at Lucard rather confused and exasperated. “and” she began her final argument “What the bloody hell are we wearing!?”  For the first time the group of 16 individuals looks at each others clothing and their own. Each ‘Team’ had a kind of uniform to follow, the teams were divided between the girls and boys. On the male team, were the following: Xander Was dressed in what looked like a black leopard skin loincloth, He was carrying a classic caveman club that seemed to be trickling with electricity, seeing as how you are the reader you instantly recognize it as a stun baton made to look like a caveman club. How intuitive of you.  Sam was next to him dressed in full viking garb, and not like Thor garb, he was in full animal skin pants and top, with chest shoulder and head armor, he was carrying a rather large ‘worn and weathered’ shield and a small battle ax, the ax itself when ‘thrown’ would turn to energy and stun whomever it hit.  Next was Sandy who in a fit of irony was dressed as a blue skinned merman, his outfit was simply a loin cloth and his hair was longer and black, he has pointed ears and reddish eyes as well as slightly elongated K-9 teeth. On his right arm was a cannon like device that would propel a ball of energy like projectile out of it.  Nick was dressed rather humorously as Rambo, Camouflage pants, no shirt, a red bandanna tied around his forehead and two excessively large machines guns, one in each hand.  Lucard was dressed in a full three piece suit, just like he would normally wear, complete with tie and gold cufflinks, the only thing that tipped off what he was supposed to be was the standard issue PPK pistol in hand, the preferred weapon of every secret agent in history.  Josh looked rather dark and mysterious, he was wearing very baggy dark clothes with a black hood shielding his face, what part of his face you could see showed a very stern, very serious looking chin and mouth. the only clue as to what he was supposed to be was the hilt of a double bladed lightsaber hanging off of his belt.  which would be a pretty damn big hint, but still it sounded better the way I wrote it. Anyways, time will tell if he has more than just that weapon up his sleeve... Joshua was dressed in futuristic combat armor, and was loaded with gadgets along his belt and his forearms. Each appeared to have a completely different purpose and function, and all were laid out for quick and easy access. He was holding his helmet with a single slit for his eyes covered in a black resistant visor.  And finally there was Liam, who was wearing a pair of black bell bottom pants and a vomit yellow shirt with a gold emblem embroidered onto his chest. his hair was slicked back into a pompadour and he held a 1960’s circa phaser pistol and tried to do his best impression of WilLiam shattner.  The boys took a moment to look over themselves, then looked back to Shadow “What's wrong with the way were dressed?” Xander asked rather confused, and feeling a bit of draft. “What are you supposed to be anyways?” Josh asked Liam with a spock-esk eyebrow raise. “I’m James kirk!” he shouted rather surprised that anyone would not get it.  “how does that fit with the theme here?” Nick asked teasing the boy. “Yeah I mean come on” chimed in Joshua “everyone here is a barbarian, a destroyer, someone who conquers everyone and everything he comes in contact with... your a space explorer from the 60’s wearing bell bottoms?” Liam sighed and rolled his eyes that took on an almost teacher-esk look. “Kirk is the worst of all of you! He goes where he isn’t wanted, through time and space, meddles in everything, slept with enough women just on screen to start his own army, not to mention what he was doing off screen, and phrase “We come in peace! Shoot to kill!” was coined solely because of him!” Liams teacherish type attitude faded rather quickly in this description.  All the boys and the girls just kinda blinked at him till Xander finally smirked and spoke up. “your wearing bell bottoms... dork” then laughed.  The rest of the boys laughed while the girls just looked rather confused at each until Shadow snapped her fingers a few times angrily “hey Focus!” she shouted “I don’t care why you are dressed like that, you guys would probably wear that out anyways. I am more curious why WE are dressed like this?” she demanded. For the first time, the boys, who are unobservant, looked at the girls, and for the first time realized just how out of character the girls outfits really were... Celest, was dressed in high heeled female combat boots, skin tight leather black pants and a cut of shirt that was attached to her pants on the left side, but not the right side, and went across her chest at a diagonal angle to wrap around her right shoulder. This left her right half of her stomach exposed as well as her entire left shoulder, she was armed with twin paintball guns that fired a variety of different paintball sized pellets.  Larka was dressed in a very short animal skinned miniskirt, with an equally skimpy animal skin bikini top. she had several pieces of handmade natural jewelry around her wrist, neck, ankles and upper arms, and was carrying a pair of bolas that would release an energy bola at her target when swung.  Ruby was wearing a skin tight red ninja outfit, one that was surprisingly (read as unrealistically) flexible for how tight it was, her face could be covered with a hood that would leave only her eyes exposed and she was armed with several Ruby throwing stars.  Isabella was in a skin tight black leather dominatrix outfit, with 3 inch heels, black leather boots up to her knees, Black stockings up to a tight black leather corset with peep holes along her stomach, back, and top and sides of her breasts, making her covered but leaving little to the imagination. She was also wearing black leather gloves and carrying a whip that was trickling with electricity.  Shadow was the most covered of all of them but seemed to also be the most annoyed, she was wearing combat quality black rubberized body suit that covered her from the neck down, her hair was tied into a ponytail and she had a highly advanced crossbow pistol as her sidearm. She looked basically like scarlet from the G.I. Joe movie. although that is purely a coincidence. Kila seemed to be the most comfortable in what she was wearing, she was wearing a sparklingly green elegant night dress, that showed off not only her legs but her chest, her arms were bare and her hair had been curled and primed up. her only weapon was a tiny PPK pistol tucked into her garter.  The playful Rose was dressed like a wood nymph, long stockings and a natural leather top complete with a hat, she looked much like an elf but without the pointed ears. her only weapon was a bag full of magical dust.  Finally Chloe, arguably one of the most aggressive of the group was dressed in a very form fitting modified star trek uniform.  The all black catsuit like outfit was only loose along her ankles where her boots would slide up the cuffs. the black outfits only color was a single strip of gold running along the shoulders parallel to the ground. her collar bore the rank of commander (three gold pips), and her left chest bore the standard starfleet combadge. Her only weapon was a phaser on her belt but she also carried a tricorder which may come in handy if the author remembers she has it.  The boys, finally restored to there normal state as horny males, just stared at the girls, each admiring the one they were attached too, while secretly spying a look at the others. It was of course Xander who spoke first with a sheepish grin at Shadow. “what's so odd about this?” he asked.  the girls all showed a different look of shock, anger, annoyance, and just general WTF. Shadow replied rather pointedly. “Although I am sure that in your mind this is how we dress, or should dress all of the time, this is by far, NOT how any of us would ever dress!” Kila raised an eyebrow and looked at Shadow with a grin “really?” she asked.  Shadow sighed rather annoyed and looked at her “Sorry Kila, you look very lovely, but I doubt you would wear that to a battle field.”  Lucard smirked in the background “she doesn’t know her all that well does she.”  The boys laughed until they were cut off by Shadow “Quiet, aren't any of you worried about this? at all, this is totally out of character for all of us, well at least all of the girls. what the heck is going on here!” Xander just sighed and looked at her taking on a more serious look “it’s OK Shadow, were just having some fun, wouldn't it be nice to just have a story some time that is just for fun?  no plot, no story, no seriousness, just good old fashioned kink?” He looked at her as she just blinked back at him. “is this your doing?” she demanded. Xander sighed and bowed his head defeated “no” he commented, “It's not my doing. it’s his” Xander pointed off to the side of the room.  The whole group turned to look at a young man in his early thirties wearing a pair of jeans and a black button up shirt, with a red undershirt on underneath, he had short red hair and was leaning against the wall with one foot crossed over the other and his hands in his pockets “is there a problem with my story Shadow?” he asked with a grin.  Shadow looked at him and narrowed her eyes “You!” she said rather annoyed.  The rest of the girls just watched while Celest got an odd feeling that for some reason she remembered him being on trial for stealing some tarts... but she shook it off and watched as Shadow pointed at the man. “what did you do?” she asked pointedly. The man just grinned “I borrowed you for a while, a quick fun little story won’t hurt anyone, and hey, we’re already at like 4 pages and we haven't even started yet,  go me!” he said with a grin.  Shadow sighed and let her shoulders slump a bit then looked at him “don’t you ever pay attention when have you ever seen any of us dressed like this?  ever?” she asked getting frustrated. The man smirked and shrugged “you look this way all the time in my head.” Shadow rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips rather annoyed “were not from your head!” she explained. The man gave a nice big grin “no, but I'm borrowing you for now, so you are kind of at my mercy.” Shadow growled and politely, for her state of anger, asked “put us back in normal clothes now please.” The man looked up and thought about it for a moment then waves his hand at Shadow “you are in normal clothes Shadow.” Shadows eyes took on a glassy look but the rest of her didn’t move “I am in normal clothes now” she said, then her eyes went back to normal and she smiles “Thank you”  The man grinned then turned to walk away only to stop and look at all the girls, waving a hand at them he said “you will enjoy yourselves and not worry about plot, or seriousness, just have a good, kinky time” Several of the girls were caught off guard and ended up slightly more dazed than the rest, the ones who were prepared for it, Celest, Kila and Ruby stayed still but all of them got a nice glassy eyed look in their eyes and said in unison. “We will enjoy ourselves and not worry about plot, or seriousness, just have a good kinky time.”   With that the man nodded and walked out, the girls blinked and seemed to simply forgot what had happened as they looked at the boys again. this time Ruby was the first to speak. “The defilers?” she asked trying to hold back a grin.  Xander grinned and nodded “yes, we defile all that we come across, and shall rule not only the battlefield but our opponents and our mates later!” At this point most of the boys decided it would be a good idea to take a step away from Xander, The girls on the other hand just looked at him, most of them looking rather... irritated.  Xander blinked at the girls “what?” he said confused.  Celest looked at him with a grin “rule us later huh?” she said with a bit of a smirk. the other girls seemed to gather together in a nice tight little group to glare at him. but Xander was not smart enough to back down, after all if he was it wouldn't be entertaining. “yes, after we dominate you on the battlefield, we shall dominate you in the bedroom!” he said.  Isabella smirked a bit but was quickly poked in the side by Kila “stay in character” she reminded her. Isabella whispered “sorry” and took on her stern look again.  Xander looked at the boys, who were all huddled into the farthest corner from him trying hard to phase through the wall behind them “help me out here guys.”  Xander was greeted with seven heads all shaking “no” at the same time. “seriously?  what are the girls going to do? huh? we have even teams, come on?” Celest just smirked “Hun, your not digging yourself a hole anymore, your blasting one, rather effectively.” she said with a playful grin. Xander looked at her “what, it’s how it will go, we will wipe the floor with you, then take you home and show you why we are men!” he said. somewhere in the fore-plot to this he had a little too much mountain dew I am sure.  Celest who know he was goofing off but also knew he had dug himself far too much of a hole to get out, just shook her head, looked at the girls, then in unison all 8 of them drew their weapons and fired at him.  Xander didn’t really have time to react, all he managed to do was raise his eyebrows before he was hit with all 8 weapons. He was simultaneously immobilized, stunned, tranced, put to sleep, knocked out, electrocuted and frozen. although his body didn’t move at all, his eyes were completely glassy as he stared at the girls.  Celest twirled her pistols around her fingers and put them back into their holsters. “well now that that's taken care of,” she said with a smirk.  Ruby grinned and chuckled at Xander “dominate that!” she said with a smile. the boys just kinda kept cowering in the corner at this point.  It was finally sam who manned up a bit and stepped forward “not to say that he was right, or to complain” he said making sure none of the girls were drawing their weapons “but this does leave us one team member short.” The girls laughed a bit and the boys finally relaxed. Ruby shrugged at her boyfriend and commented “there must be plenty of other characters around here you can use just get one of them.” At that point the door behind the girls was kicked open full force and Mike ran in, wearing his normal clothes of just a pair of jeans and a shirt he came in and raised his hands over his head “I heard I was needed!” he shouted as he started firing electrical bolts up into the ceiling while shouting “AHHHAHAHAHAHAAH! all shall bow before me!” this was cut off when a paintball hit him square in the head. The force caused a surge of electricity to come out of the paintball and surround his body making him fall to the floor unconscious. Celest spun her pistol around her finger and back into her holster and looked at the boys “Ok, so your next option?” she with a matter-of-factly look on her face and a flat tone.” The boys just kinda looked at each other and shrugged “were out of male characters?” commented Liam looking a bit confused.  Rose and Isabella smirked knowing there were a few more still but before they could say anything Martin walked in, Dressed like a wood elf with clothing made from leaves and tree bark, and armed with a blow dart gun he walked in and winked at Rose and isabella. “Can I play?” he said with a grin.  The boys looked at each other and shrugged “sure whats one more nut” said Sandy rather confused now as to what the heck was going on.  “Are we ready to finally go?” asked Larka who was getting a little stir crazy. “Just about all we need left is our armies” Joshua commented as the boys nodded and grinned.  “Armies?” ask Chloe a little confused.  The boys turned and pointed to the door behind them and exactly on cue 50 strapping young men all armed with various weapons stormed in, in formation and lined up behind the boys.  “Armies!” Josh commented with a grin. “that’s not exactly fair” commented Kila more joking then serious. “oh don't’ worry” eased Liam “you have your own” he said pointing to the door behind the girls. The girls turned to look and also on cue a small army of 50 females all in combat gear, albeit more skimpy than the boys, and carrying a variety of weapons filed in and took position behind the girls. They did of course ‘march’ right over poor Mike. The girls looked a bit confused as Celest asked ‘what do we need armies for?” Lucard grinned “odds are at least 15 of us are going to end up incapacitated, so unless each side has an army at it’s disposal, you won’t get a chance to show off before you are put under” he said with a rather flirty grin, the entire time he was staring at Kila, who gave a return grin as if to say “don’t bet on it.” The girls just looked at each other and shrugged “Lets go” commented Shadow the new cheerleader for the event and the teams both filed out their individual exits to the course. But as everyone filed out, Celest hung back a bit. When no one was looking, she walked over to the still frozen and glassy eyed Xander and smiled at him. With a soft caress she stroked his cheek and kissed him tenderly “Sorry love” she said with a grin, then gently slid her hand away and exited with her team. As the room grew still the glassy glaze over Xanders eyes started to fade.  For being built on a fantasy stories budget in this economy, the playing field was rather impressive. it was 2 square miles in size, and divided into three areas. The outermost area was very dense with walls and trees and other obstacles and things being put in the way, lots of cover, lots of places to hide and hard to navigate. The middle area was wide open, only a few blocks for cover but for the most part completely and totally empty of all obstacles, no place to hide at all. The inner area was a building, 4 stories high with multiple rooms inside to hide in and sneak around. The entire 2 mile course was indoors so weather would not be a factor. The teams would begin on opposite ends of the course and have to make their way to the other team in order to combat them. The teams assembled their troops along their respective starting points. The girls had fanned out into small groups of between 3 and 6 team mates, where as the boys had created a solid line of team mates all spread out by about 20 feet. The girls strategy was to break up into groups and over power the boys with superior firepower using squad like battle tactics. The boys was to move as individuals at random trajectories to try and catch the girls in a crossfire. The building could provide excellent cover as well as the high ground, while the rough areas could provide cover and a staging point to lay siege to the building.   As the boys all took up their positions, the girls gently eased into theirs. The moment was tense, the adrenaline already flowing yet not quite moving at full speed. The buzzer sounded and the teams moved.  The boys meticulously moved forward, at an even pace, one giant wall of sleep inducing terror. While the girls split up into groups, Several groups moving for the open area and in turn the building. While the others were splitting up along the side borders to intercept the boys. The Girls teams were split evenly. 30 girls heading for the building. while 14 moved along the right, and 14 moved along the left.  The boys line advanced closer and closer to the open area. For their part the boys were moving more slowly then the girls. but their line would provide them with increased cover. The girls would be intercepting the boys far closer to the boys starting point however.  The first few moments were tense. The group on the girls side heading for the main building were lead by Larka, Kila, Shadow and Isabella.  As the groups got to the opening, the team leads looked at each other and nodded. In one quick sprint the girls all took off for the building. Running as fast as they could, it was a good quarter mile stretch from rough ground to building. Larka shouted to Kila “can you grab these?” she asked while keeping up her pace. Kila who was managing to run even in a dress and high heels looked at Larka with a confused look, until Larka transformed into a wolf and started to take off across open field. Leaving her weapons and clothing behind. Kila smiled and teleported to the clothing grabbing them quickly then teleported to the building with a grin, holding the clothing in hand as the wolf arrived and very skillfully transformed back to a human inside the clothing. requiring only a slight modification of her clothing once back to normal form “Thanks” she said with a smile.  “Don’t mention it” Kila nodded. The girls both entered the building and started to move towards the stairs. Shadow and isabella’s groups arrived a few moments later and started to flank the outside of the building, moving around it to protect the other side.  By this time the boys had made their way to the edge of the tree line. The advancing groups of girls were moving along side the building and the rough area rather quickly. The boys were about to be in for a fight. Instead of trying to rush the building, they took up positions and waited. Letting the girls get closer and closer. Shadows group could be seen coming around the right side of the building. while Isabellas appeared a moment later along the left.  The boys at this point changed tactics. A group of about 30 boys led by Liam and Sam would stay near the front of the building and start to lay siege on the building. The siege was designed to be a distraction while the other groups of boys reformed the lines more tightly inside of the edge rough area and move along the edge towards the side, in the hopes of engaging the building in a crossfire.  Liam and Sam set up the boys in a row along the lines, With a howl and a shout the boys opened fire. The girls inside the building were not yet set up and were rushing to try and get to a window to see what was happening. Shadow and Isabella's teams could hide by the walls, but were caught off guard when the boys opened fire.  Lasers and all manners of energy projectiles filled the air towards the building, Shadows group Quickly ducked behind the building but Isabella's group was in a slightly worse angle, as she pulled her troops back two were stunned glowing a bright yellow for a split second then the glow quickly faded along with their consciousness as they fell to the ground.  Shadow’s team took up positions along side the wall and would pop out from time to time to return fire across the field, while Isabella's group who was more exposed due to the location of the line of boys hugged the wall more closely and would lean out to fire at random intervals. In the rough area the girls could hear the laser fire and started to get tense. The line of boys had stopped a few feet ahead on the right hand side. The groups led by Celest and Ruby were getting close. The boys each took up their spots and waited, as the girls closed in the boys opened fire. One of Celest girls was hit as were two of Ruby’s, but the teams quickly hid in the rough.  Along the Right hand side, The line of boys led by Josh, Joshua and Martin were laying in wait for the teams led by Rose and Chloe. But unlike their teammates, Rose and Chloe knew the boys were there and were setting a trap for them. Rose had helped her team climb into the trees and was gracefully and quietly moving from branch to branch, and tree to tree above the boys, quietly working behind them.  While Chloe on the other hand was leading her group commando style to the edge of the rough, near the open field. She could see isabella's team crouching behind the wall as the boys fired on them. and see two fallen teammates on the grass sleeping soundly. They would be avenged.  As the boys waited, Rose slowly lowered down next to one of the boys and took out a handful of dust, a gentle blow and the boy blinked... looked up at Rose he fell over sound asleep, a little giggle and she crawled back into the tree. two more boys fell from her teammates before one of them noticed the girl dropping down out of the trees.  He opened fire but missed and was hit with a handful of sleep dust. 4 boys down as the rest of the team opened fire.  Martin was closest to the person that opened fire and he quickly turned, and spotted the girls in the trees.  He moved ever so quietly to one tree and lifted his blow dart gun, a quiet little puff and the girl put her hand on her neck, a moment later she slumped to the branch and fainted.   The girl next to her looked down and shook her, not seeing the dart, a split second later she had her very own dart sticking out of her butt. She managed to pull it out of her bum just in time to look at it as her eyes rolled into her head and she slumped down asleep.  Martin reloaded his blow dart gun and was about to fire again when he looked to the side rather quickly. He looked in time to see Rose descending next to him. He turned and puffed, but the nimble immortal quickly dodged the dart and hid behind a tree. Martin moved in a quick long circle around the tree, but she was gone. He looked up ready to puff but there was nothing.  Rose gently landed on the ground behind him, her hand full of dust and smiled “night night” she said as she blew the dust at the back of his head. As she suspected he turned around rather quickly and inhaled so he could fire his weapon. but he inhaled all the dust.. and quickly wobbled on his feet.  Rose gently took the blow dart gun from his hand and helped him to a tree.  He leaned against it dazed and looked at her. She simply smiled and blew another handful of dust into his face and let him slump down nice and gently to sleep on the forest floor.  with a smile she stood up and looked in the direction of the rest of the boys. “1 down, 7 to go” she said.  The rest of the boys had heard the commotion and started firing. All except for Josh who moved silently into the shadows. The line of 8 boys minus the twins, Josh and Joshua, opened fire in all directions. Joshua, moved behind a tree then fired his jet pack and flew up into the branches. he landed right in front of one of the girls working with Rose. The Girl tried to quickly blow a hand full of sleep dust at him but his helmet made him rather protected from that. he moved out of the way on reflex and raised his right arm, a rope shot out and quickly wrapped around the girls legs, tripping her.  She rolled over to try and undo her ropes when another rope shot out and wrapped around her arms. she looked up just in time to catch a face full of sleep gas from a gauntlet on his left arm.  The girl looked at him through sleepy eyes then gently closed them and lay limp on the branch.  About this time Chloe and her group attacked. Chloe in her starfleet combat uniform charged right in Stunning two of the 8 remaining males (not including the twins) then dove over a fallen tree and rolled to her feet. In front of her was one of the male troops who quickly turned to fire at her. She deft hand blocked the gun out of the way with one hand while stepping in, grabbed the boy around the head and twisted him to the ground. leaning and putting the barrel of her phaser against his chest she winked at him, then fired.  With a smooth precision she plucked a grenade from her belt and tossed it in the direction of the other troops. A quick flash the remaining 5 boys slumped to the forest floor.  Chloe Turned to look at Rose and the rest of their team and smiled. “Fan out there are two more at least,” she said.  The 11 girls all started to spread out just as Joshua flew over head with his jet pack pulling out twin blasters and firing. Rose barely managed to duck behind a tree, the two girls with her were not so lucky. Precision hits on both of them made their bodies jerk just a bit then freeze, completely in place. Unable to move a muscle as they were frozen and blanked. Rose looked up the two frozen girls then over her shoulder and quickly scurried up a tree to get out of the way.  The remaining 7 girls opened fire on Joshua who had to pull back into the rough due to the fire. Then a cloaked figure landed in the center of them. Josh threw his hood back and pulled out a foot and a half long metal pole and ignited the two red blades on each side.  he quickly spun it around, striking the girl in front of him first, then over his head to get the one behind. a quick twist to the left to hit the one there, then a twist to the right to hit the girl next to her, then a twirl over his head and spin to hit the girls behind him.  The blade unlike a real lightsaber was set to stun, as it ‘hit’ the girls it went right through them, causing no injury or pain but instead making their skin glow a quick Bright red then sending them to the ground sound asleep. 6 girls down in one move, even Joshua was impressed.  Josh sensed Chloe behind him and quickly spun the light saber behind him, just in time to deflect a phaser blast up into the tree’s. Chloe moved in a large circle around him alternating between a solid beam and quick short blasts.  For his part, Josh was moving rather elegantly deflecting blasts up into the tree’s and off the side. a few of the deflections managed to be towards Chloe but the agile young woman dodged her own deflected blasts and returned fire.   She continued to make a long circle around Josh trying to get any kind of shot in, when something dawned on her. instead of aiming at him she aimed at the branch above him. Using the phaser to cut a large branch off and sending it crashing down on top of him. The force knocked the lightsaber out of his hand and made it turn off. She raised her weapon at him with a grin ready to end this match. Before she could fire a rope wrapped around her chest and arms, pinning them to her sides. The phaser fired at an odd angle out into the air as she was spun around in a deep kiss from Joshua. (who had removed his helmet). She struggled to get free while fighting to not go deeper into the kiss. Both fights she would lose. While Josh freed himself Joshua took the time to make out with his girlfriend then broke the kiss with a smile “I’ll see you tonight love” he said playfully.  Chloe just smirked “promises promises,” she said.  Joshua slid a finger down her cheek and as his finger rounded her chin the gauntlet on his arm let out a soft puff of sleep gas into her face. she sighed as she looked at him and her eyes slowly lowered, as she sank into his arms. sound asleep. “are you done yet?” asked Josh with his hands on his hips. “I saved your ass” Joshua reminded him “allow me a moment to enjoy it” he said with a grin, lowering his sleeping girlfriend to the ground. “Rose is around here, lets go,” he said.  The two started to run in the direction they had last seen Rose run, leaving their fallen teammates and adversaries sound asleep on the forest floor.  As they moved out of the area, a solitary figure stepped out of the shadows a visible grin on his face as he looked at all the helpless prey.  Near the edge of the field Rose managed to get to the top of a tree and whistle towards Isabella. The dominatrix clad girl looked over at her and nodded “Cover fire now!” she shouted. her and the rest of her girls moved outside the cover of the building and opened fire on the boys. Rose took the opportunity to run as fast as she could towards the building, across open country. the lasers flew past her as the other girls tried to cover her as best they could.  As Rose neared the building, Josh and Joshua emerged from the edge of the forest. Joshua started to fire and hit two more of Isabella's girls, freezing them as they were about to fire. The return fire was deflected off into the air thanks to Josh and his lightsabers.  “were pinned down!” shouted Isabella as she pulled her girls back. “everybody inside now!” she said as the group pulled back into the building. Josh and Joshua ran towards the building closing the distance rather quickly then stopping to look at each other. “now what do we do?” asked Josh Joshua just shrugged “I didn't think that far ahead.” he said out of breath.  Across the opposite side of the open area, Sandy, Nick and Lucard were engaging Celest and Rubys teams. The three boys had spread their line outs perfectly creating one wall of troops that had managed to take Celest and Ruby’s teams by surprise.  Ruby's team had managed to bunch together in one large group hiding out behind a boulder like outcropping while Celest’s team was spread out behind trees firing at the boys when they could but not making much progress.   The ten remaining males started to advance all at once, creating a moving line of weapons fire closing in on the girls. They didn’t have much time before the boys managed to over take them. Ruby was able to peak her head out and get a glimpse of the line, and she began to formulate a plan.  As the line grew closer, Ruby in her red ninja outfit, climbed up the boulder,  then at the last possible second jumped out from over it and flipped behind the line of the boys. landing a perfect hit into the back of two boys with 1 throwing star each. The boys skin flashed a Ruby color then they solidified into a solid standing Ruby statue.  This created enough of a distraction to have several of the boys including Sandy and Nick take note. A large group of the boys turned and started to fire at Ruby. Nick raised his guns and started firing. But the giant rifles were so large and had such a powerful kick that he nearly fell over as they started to fire wildly.   Celest and her team took the opening and jumped out from behind cover, and opened fire. Unfortunately for them, not all of the boys had turned to face off against Ruby and her distraction. Sandy stood up from behind a tree, with his blue almost fish like skin and raised his arm. He fired what looked like a ball of lighting out at Celest who barely had time to duck, the blast hit a tree and exploded into a burst of lighting. Three of Celest’s girls were covered in electrical arcs and shook softly on their feet. Then after a moment the electricity disappeared and the girls all slumped to the floor. Celest looked up at Sandy as he leveled his weapon down and her and pulled the trigger. Celest braced for the shock but all she head was a metallic ‘Click’. Sandy looked at his weapon in confusion and realized that such a powerful weapon, had quite a recharge time.  He looked up at Celest in surprise just in time to see her fire 5 paintballs at him.  All five managed to strike Sandy at about the same time, and he shook in shock then slumped to the ground. Celest sighed and got to her feet and started firing on the remaining boys.  From behind the boulder the rest of Ruby's group jumped out and tossed several throwing stars, Nick was able to dodge but the rest of the boys with him were hit.  He hit the ground and rolled behind a tree just in time to see Celest take out the boys that were with him, although he had no idea where Lucard was at this time.  Nick jumped out from behind the tree and begin firing. The forest was filled with blue laser blasts flying past, as the girls scrambled to take cover. Two of Ruby's girls were struck in the back and dazed out falling to their knees and just staring ahead blankly. Another of Celest’s pushed her out of the way then took a blast to the shoulder and slumped to her knees, gazing completely tranced at Celest who was hiding behind a tree.  Nick saw a flash out of the corner of his eye and moved to turn just in time to catch one of Ruby’s throwing stars in his chest.  His skin slowly hardened up turning him into a Ruby statue.  The girls breathed a sigh of relief, Celest stepped out from behind the trees and smiled. “Good work Ruby!” she said with a smile.  Ruby nodded “Thanks it was nothing.”  Before the girls could regroup, Lucard teleported in behind Ruby and grabbed her head, tilting it to the side and using his vampiric, hypnotic touch to completely blank the young heroine. The rest of the girls tried to help but Lucard raised his gun and fired.  One of Ruby’s troops and the last of Celest’s was hit with tranquilizer darts.  The girls paused for a second in shock and looked down at the darts. Ruby’s soldier slowly sank to her knees then off to her side while Celest’s simply fall backwards into a soft bush.  Lucard looked around for a moment, before he took the opportunity to sink his teeth into Ruby’s neck. The crimson clad woman gasped then slowly sunk into her captor, becoming more and more limp as he drank her blood until finally her eyes closed and he let her slide to the grass completely asleep.  Celest quickly spun out from behind the tree and fired at Lucard, but the paint balls flew easily through thin air. Lucard was nowhere to be seen. Her and the last of Ruby’s soldiers scanned the trees and searched for the vampire. The forest was completely quiet, not unusual since it was artificial but still unnerving. Celest turned slowly, circling the tree, keeping it to her back as she looked around for the ancient vampire.  “Duck!” shouted Ruby’s soldier and Celest ducked as two throwing stars went over her head and again hit nothing but air. Celest looked up at the soldier questioningly. The soldier kept scanning the horizon “He’s teleporting” she said looking rather serious.  The rather well built, short haired redhead was all business. Which is acceptable for a character that was made simply to be sedated. Celest turned to look behind her and saw lucard in the distance hissing. She fired two shots at him then heard him behind her say “over here!” She turned quickly and fired, sending two paintballs nearly into the side of Ruby’s last soldier.  The girl managed to avoid the shots but looked at Celest with a look of confusion. Celest simply blinked and mouthed “Sorry” to the Girl.  Just then the entire forest seemed to echo with lucards laugh, the vampire was teleporting so fast that he was virtually in 10 places at once.  At this point the girls decided it was time to make a strategic retreat. They ran for the edge of the clearing and right out into the open field. Sam, Liam and the other 30 boys all opened fire on the girls running across the field. Celest was doing a Good job of keeping ahead of their aim but Rubys last soldier caught a tranquilizer bolt in her butt, she managed to continue to keep running all the way to the building, just in time to get to Celest and smile. “That was a good run” she said, before her eyes rolled into her head and she fell to the ground sound asleep.  Celest made her way to the side door and into the building. The rest of the girls had all gathered into the building and were taking up defensive positions at the windows and roof. They knew that the boys were going to make a move on the building soon. But the question was when.  The Boys could see the girls inside the building, The numbers were about even, but they knew the girls had a definite advantage. The boys along the front of the building on the other side of the clearing all ceased fire and began to spread out a bit more. Josh and Joshua were along the right side of the wall while Lucard was nowhere to be seen.  A hush fell over the field as everyone waited, no one made a move. The girls all watched and waited,  while the boys did the same. Sitting calmly.  One of the girls along a front facing windows poked her head up to get a better look. Liam raised his phaser and fired. The girl glowed a bright yellow outline of herself then slumped to the floor.  From the roof of the building Shadow took aim on Liam’s position with her crossbow, the arrow was programed to drop right down on to his head. A slow exhale, she held her breath and squeezed the trigger. The arrow flew straight out and began a steep arc down. Liam looked up and his eyes widened as the arrow grew closer. At the absolute last second before it could hit Liam, Sams Viking ax intercepted the arrow.  Liam sighed and nodded thanking Sam, Sam grinned and stood up holding his ax high over his head and screamed “Charge!”  A loud roar could be heard from the edge of the clearing as all of the boys stood up and began a straight run towards the building. Weapons fire filled the clearing as the boys closed in and the girls opened fire. Weapons of all types flew back and forth among the boys as they returned fire while running towards the building.  On the top of the building Shadow and her crossbow were firing frantically. as quickly as she could, hitting target after target as the boys got closer and closer.  Beneath her firing from the windows, Larka, dressed like a cave girl was launching as many bolas out as she could. As the bolas would fly out they would wrap around the boys tying them up along their entire body, making them fall over, as soon as they were down the rope would emit a gas that would put the boy to sleep. nice and tidy tied up on the ground.  From elsewhere in the building Kila would teleport from window to window firing at the group of boys, while Celest who had managed to get into the building before the charge began, moved to one of the windows to fire back. All of the other girls that had long range weapons were busy firing at the group of about 32 boys that was charging at the building, but that number was dropping rapidly.  The boys however were also managing to dwindle the number of girls. Liam and his phaser had managed to zap at least three girls, sending them into a glowing heap on the floor.  Sam and his ax were a different story.  He had to stop his charge to throw his ax, something that was harder to pull off then just squeezing a trigger, but his results were more accurate.  The moment the Ax left his hand it would turn into a glowing energy ax and fly at remarkably high speeds towards the building. Upon impact it would burst and create an energy wave that would pass through anyone within 5 feet. making them swoon into a lovely faint. He had already managed to take out 7 girls with three shots.  As the boys got closer and closer to the building, all of the girls continued to fire, the most deadly of the shots were coming from the roof, which with it’s raised perspective was able to pick off more of the boys then anywhere else. Shadow and her troops were deadly accurate with their crossbows. Firing the solid projectile objects into the foray. The arrows would energize at the last second and turn into energy projectiles causing the target to flash for a second then hit the ground the energy arrow still sticking out of his body but then slowly fading.  Along the right side of the building the charging boys plight was plainly clear to the twins, Josh and Joshua. “Come on, I Have an idea” Joshua said grabbing Josh. Before the vampire could react Joshua activate his jet pack and launched up into the sky with his brother.  Josh screamed as the two Rose rather quickly up the side of the wall and up over the roof. Shadow and her team turned in surprise and began firing at Joshua. Josh, being dressed as a Sith, was able to use ‘the force’ to deflect several of the arrows but one with a target lock swung around and struck the jetpack causing it to overload and explode. The force of the explosion flung Josh halfway across the building’s roof and sent Joshua right to the ground with a thud.  Josh quickly got to his feet and pulled out his lightsaber.  Turning it on and swinging right through one of Shadows soldiers. Being a non lethal version the only thing happened to the girl was a quick flash of red light in her eyes then she slumped to the floor asleep. Josh moved quickly and ducked an arrow being fired from one of the other girls then slashed her to sleep. and spun around to do a long horizontal slash at a third.  He came out of his spin and looked up to see Shadow and the other three girls all aiming at him. They fired before he could get ready to deflect the arrows so instead he jumped back and flipped behind a maintenance access point. the four arrows collided with the door harmlessly.  Next to Shadow one of the girls froze in place as Joshua got to his feet, and hit her with his freeze ray. He had lost one of his guns but still managed to have a hand on one. The three girls all charge at him figuring they stood a better chance up close.  Joshua fired at the girls but missed before Shadow jumped up and kicked the gun from his hand. She turned to fire her crossbow at him but he grabbed it and fired it off to the side. Another of Shadows girls closed in to try and grab him but Joshua turned and fired a burst of knock out gas in an arch around the left side of him the poor girl ran right into it and fell into a heap at his feet. Shadow moved to the far side to avoid the gas and kicked Joshua in his chest armor sending him into a heap on his back but he quickly flipped back and on to his feet. Josh was about to run from behind the maintenance entry way to help when the maintenance door flew up. He hid behind the door to see Isabella walk out, clad in a rather revealing leather dominatrix outfit and pulling her whip out and letting it dangle next to her. She was completely focused on Joshua and didn’t notice him behind her. The confident dominatrix grinned as she started to walk towards the bounty hunter engaged in hand to hand combat with the two girls. Her heels clicked rather loudly on the concrete roof as she walked heel to toe with a sexy sway towards her target, letting her whip dangle along the ground as she did so.  She was about 15 feet away and still completely unnoticed by Shadow and Joshua when her right hand was grabbed and she was spun around into Josh’s arms. He held her tightly as he kissed her and used his vampiric influences to cloud her mind. The dominatrix was taken completely off guard and it took only a fraction of a second for her to start to relax. a few moments later her eyes were completely glazed by the vampire. “I need your help for a moment please my dear” Josh said with a smile.  Joshua and Shadow were busy exchanging blows, Joshua was hindered in his movements by his armor but the armor was providing a great shield against Shadows rather energetic attacks. The incredibly fit angel was doing jump kicks, spins,  double kicks everything she could. For his part Joshua was blocking what he could and letting the armor absorb what was left, but he was losing his balance. Finally one last kick to the head, and he wobbled back. Shadow ran up jumped straight up and kicked him clean in the chest sending him falling back onto his back.  Joshua wasn’t into a position to get up this time and raised his gauntlet trying to fire a dart. But before he could, Shadow grabbed his wrist and twisted it down into his other arm, letting him fire the dart directly into his own arm.   From under his helmet Joshua groaned then went limp, completely beaten by the angel.  Shadow sighed and grinned nodding to the other girl that was there to help her. The girl nodded and then was struck by Isabella's energy whip.  The girl trickled with energy and wobbled down to her knees, the energy arcs turning into a rather intricate bondage apparatus binding her ankles and knees together. Binding her elbows to her sides and her wrists behind her back with a connection between her wrists and her ankles forcing her to kneel. The last energy wave trickled around her head and made her whisper “My mistress” before a ball gag formed in her mouth and blind fold covered her eyes.  Shadow spun around quickly just in time to see Josh’s lightsaber coming at her head, she ducked and flipped backwards kicking Josh in the head as she flipped. She landed on her feet and spun to face Isabella just in time to feel the strike of the whip. The effects felt weirder than they looked. the electricity trickling around her made her feel very weak, very tired and submissive, she almost had to kneel. the moment her knees hit the ground the cuffs formed around her ankles and knees, she felt her leather outfit tightening around her as the bonds formed. her arms seemed natural behind her back as the cuffs formed and locked into her ankles. her breasts felt tighter as the binds tied around them, and she struggled looking at Isabella “why would you do this...” she started but just then the electrical waves washed over her face and head. she felt her mind go fuzzy, and then things became clear. It didn’t matter why she did it, she could do it,  she was the one who could, the one who should, the one who was to be obeyed.  The world became clear to Shadow and a final gasp came out of her mouth “my mistress” she said softly, then the ball gag formed in her mouth and the world was blocked out by the blind fold. She sat and struggled, fighting the binds that were holding her and giving her so much pleasure. she slumped to her side and struggled, all the while thrilled to be helpless for her mistress. “Nice job” Josh smiled getting up and adjusting his chin. Isabella smiled and struck a rather sexy pose balancing on one leg “it’s what I do” she said with a smile then moved to Josh and kissed him softly “if your lucky, maybe I'll do it to you one day” she said getting into character.  Josh laughed a bit “I think my girlfriend might mind that,  and before this gets out of hand..” he raised his hand and tapped her head, “sleep” he said with a grin. The moment he touched her head her eyes flashed with the hypnotic energy that he infused into her mind with the tap, then she swooned down to the ground sound asleep surrounded by her two newest ‘slaves’.  In the yard the boys had finally managed to reach the building, Sam and his team of barbarians ran head long and right through the windows. swinging their axes and stunning several of the girls guarding the windows, while Liam and his team of red shirt clad star fleet personnel made their way into the building through the side door.   Sams team was making quite a mess of the girls on the first floor, they had managed to stun more than 6 of them in hand to hand combat when they noticed a group coming around the corner led by Rose.  Sam took aim and with a loud yell threw his ax at the group. Rose barely had time to register what was coming before the energy ax slammed into her chest. The burst filled the corridor and covered the girls that were running with her. All of the girls behind Rose hit the ground in a pile while Rose stood in the hallway eyes completely glazed staring ahead. She slowly slumped to her knees then fell forward.  Sam was nice enough to catch her and lower her to the ground so she wouldn’t hurt herself. “There you go miss” he said with a grin.  He stood up and did a count looking around at the other guys. “I figure we have all but 5 or so to go.” he said counting the girls. They had confirmed many ‘kills’ on the way in but it was very costly for them. “come on let's regroup with Liam” Sam said gathering his troops together. “leaving so soon?” said Kila turning the corner in such a way that her leg stuck out from her dress. She had her hand on her hip and her gun hidden behind the wall “I just got here boys” she said with a grin. Sam and his barbarians all threw their axes right at Kila. The vampiress smiled and fired two tranquilizer darts before teleporting to the other end of the room.  Sam and his boys turned around but their axe’s would take a moment to recharge and regenerate. Being barbarians they decided to do what barbarians do best, they charged Kila.  Kila just smiled and fired three more tranquilizer darts. taking down three of the barbarians. Then teleported out just as Sam, and another barbarian were about to tackle her. She appeared behind them both and fired a tranquilizer dart into the last of the barbarians then aimed at Sam.  Sam stood and tossed his ax at Kila, it had finally recharged. The vampiress simply stepped out of the way and let it slam into the wall behind her. The energy wave washed over her and she just grinned at Sam “Nice try” she said, then shot him in the neck with a tranquilizer dart.  Sam grabbed the dart and fell to his knees looking at Kila “Sneaky vampire” he said before falling to the ground.  Kila grinned and shook her head to clear it. The blast may not have stunned her but it definitely made her feel light headed.  A moment later Liam and his team came around the corner. “Crap!” shouted Liam which made Kila turn to face him. Liam knelt down and fired as quickly as he could. Kila went to teleport out but realized that she couldn’t, due to the dazing effects of the energy ax. The phaser blast from Liam hit her in the chest making her feel a slight amount of fatigue... but that was it.  “oh shit” said Liam as he watched Kila NOT pass out.  Kila grinned at the young man and smiled “My turn” she said then raised her weapon and prepared to fire. Liam, surprising everyone including himself fired and hit Kila’s hand perfectly. The blast was enough of a shock that it managed to stun Kila’s hand just enough that she dropped her pistol. She looked at it on the ground then at Liam and drew her fangs with a hiss “The old fashioned way it is then” she said with a grin moving towards Liam and his group.  “Fire! Fire!” Liam shouted as he and his men started firing blast after blast into Kila.  The vampiress grinned as beam after beam hit her, she felt confident and strong but, then suddenly started to feel really woozy.  Parts of her body were starting to glow around the phaser hits. She wobbled on her feet and put her hand to her head. She felt so tired all of a sudden, confused.  “What was I about to do?” she asked herself looking around. “It’s working, solid stream boys, Fire!” Shouted Liam switching his weapon from a burst mode to a solid phaser beam.  All four redshirt’s phaser beams hit Kila as the vampiress looked up at them, eyes glazing. She stumbled a few steps towards them hissing then in a quick second later her entire body flashed a deep yellow color as the phasers effects finally hit her. The instant she glowed yellow her face went slack. The boys ceased fire and watched as the glow faded as Kila sank to the floor and passed out.  “Holy crap” said Liam standing up “I wasn’t sure if she was ever going to go down” he said turning and leading the boys to the second level.  On the third level of the building Larka and her last two wild girls were heading towards the access to the roof. Only to come face to face with Lucard standing in the Shadows. “Hello Larka” he said with a smile. “enjoying yourself?” he asked genuinely before teleporting away. “Great” commented Larka as her and her girls all got into a small circle back to back and began moving through the hallway slowly.  As the girls passed a dark part of the hallway a red lightsaber activated and Josh swung it at the girls. “Duck!” shouted Larka as she and one of the other girls ducked under the light saber as it passed over head. The third girl was not so quick and took the blade to the chest and fell into a slumbering pile on the floor. Larka shifted on her feet and put one hand on the ground balancing herself and sending a kick directly to Josh’s chest, knocking him back. As he hit the wall the other girl behind Larka stood up and swung her bola's at Josh and wrapped around him tightly.  Josh struggled against the binds until he slumped against the wall, then was hit with the gas as the ropes emitted their payload of sleep gas. The vampire struggled and slid down the wall slowly, into a heap.  Larka turned to the girl and smiled “Thanks, I owe you one” she said with a grin “whats your name?” she asked, figuring since she was the last girl that she knew of still standing that she could at least be polite. The young redhead smiled and nodded “Ryder, my name is Ryder, it’s a pleasure to meet you”  “Likewise” said lucard as he teleported in behind Ryder and grabbed her shoulder.  The young nymph didn’t have time to react as her body froze at the hypnotic touch, her mind a complete blank. Larka went to attack Lucard but he stared into her eyes “pause” he said using his vampire powers on the lovely young werewolf. Larka who believed that she was protected from vampiric influences never thought about him trying to hypnotize her. As she moved to attack him the world suddenly stopped. Everything frozen, she couldn't figure out why nothing was moving.  nothing was.... nothing....  Lucard smiled at the now completely paused Larka and whispered “I’ll deal with you in a moment, my dear” he then turned his head and sank his teeth into Ryders neck.  The nymph sighed and gently sank down slowly as she slipped into a drained unconsciousness.  Lucard then turned his attention to Larka and smiled “it’s been a while since I tasted you my dear”  He leaned in to bite her when he felt a pop on his back.  He turned to See Celest standing there with both guns drawn “Not today Dracula” she said with a grin as she opened fire.  Lucard tried to teleport out but the hit on his back prevented him from doing so. He moved to cover himself but the hits were coming too fast.  Pop, after Pop against his skin as the various paint balls slammed into his body.  He slumped against the wall and looked at Celest and hissed.  In her cruelest move yet Celest stuck a paint ball right between his teeth and impacting his throat. That final shot was enough to make him slump down into a nice deep sleep. The blue paint from the paintball dripping out of his fanged grin like blood after feeding.  Celest walked over to the still paused Larka and waved a hand before her eyes. “Larka?” she asked. After no reply she put her hand on Larka’s shoulder and shook her a bit. The Wild child werewolf blinked and looked at Celest confused. “Celest?” she asked “what happened where did Lucard.. oh!” she said noticing him on the ground with the paint coming out of his mouth.  “Good shot!” she added with a smile. “Thank you” Grinned Celest. “come on by my count we only have Liam left he came in on the ground level and there is only one way up from the second floor to this one lets go!” The girls ran down the hallway towards the stairwell. They knew if they got their soon enough they would be able to set up a cross fire. Catching the boys as they came up. But that was not to be.  The girls turned the corner to the stairs and came face to face with Liam and this three red shirts “Fire!” Ordered Liam as he and the boys all opened fire.  Larka gave Celest a good hard push out of the way and jump backwards tossing a bola at one of the boys and catching him perfectly.  The red shirted soldier was quickly tied and gassed while the other three continued firing.  Celest who was now in mid air after getting quite a push from the werewolf, she drew her guns and in classic ‘tomb raider’ style managed to hit the ground in a solid roll and fire several paint balls off as she rolled behind the wall.  Liam pulled behind a wall and was about to give his two men an order when he noticed them fall to the floor completely asleep. “ah crap” he said and turned down a hallway and started to jog to a better position.  Celest and Larka slowly began to move towards Liam's position. Very slowly creeping along the floor to his last known location. It was down to the three of them, if they got him before he got them, they won.  Not that they knew what they would win, they would just win, and that was good enough.  Celest turned the corner to where LIam should have been, and fired, but all she hit was wall. suddenly the hair on the back of her head stood up and she dove behind the wall, a phaser blast hit the wall above her. She slid on her back and turned to fire but her gun hit the wall and bounced out of her hand.  She crawled on the ground to try and get the gun when Liam popped up and pointed his phaser at her. “Sorry Celest” Liam said “But it’s in the job description”  He raised his gun and pulled the trigger, just as Larka’s bolas wrapped around him. The phaser blast fired harmlessly into the ground next to Celest and Liam struggled with the bolas until the gas was released and he slumped into the ground sound asleep.  Celest gave a sigh of relief and looked up at Larka “Nice shot!’ she said with a grin. “Thanks” Larka replied with nice big smile offering a hand down to help Celest up.  Celest took the hand and moved to her feet and looked around. “well it looks like we won?” Larka gave a little chuckle “Yep, we won! was there ever a question about that?” she said with a cocky smile. Celest shook her head then noticed a caveman club gently glide down and tap Larka on the back of the head. Larka jerked for a moment in shock as an electrical pulse swirled around her head. her eyes showed a look of shock and surprise as her body teetered back and fell into Xanders waiting arms. Her head slumped down and her body went limp as the incubus lowered her to the ground then stood to look at Celest “you know” he began “it really wasn’t nice hitting me with everything at once” he said with a bit of a grin.  Celest just shrugged and smiled, she realized that both of her pistols were out, and figured in a moment she would be too “eh, you had it coming you know” she said defiantly. Xander smiled “your right, I did” he said lifting his club and laying it on his shoulder while just looking at Celest. Celest took a deep breath and turned to Xander with her arms folded across her chest “well looks like you win anyways. so, let's get this over with so you can claim your prize.” she said with a look of annoyance. Xander grinned and raised his club, lowering it just above her head, then raising it, then lowering it again to get the arc right, then raised it way up behind his head... and dropped it, moving into Celest and grabbing her and kissing her. Dipping her over his knee and holding her in the kiss.  Celest was surprised by the kiss but figured there were worse ways to be put to sleep. She let the kiss linger for as long as she could enjoy it. Then the kiss broke and Xander moved her to her feet and smiled. “what are you doing?” Celest asked? Xander laughed a bit “I am not a player babe... I got disqualified remember?  besides winning wasn’t the point.” he said as he turned and created an orb over the sleeping werewolf and drained her energy into it. “grabbing the energy from 120 players... was the point” he said as his wings and tail popped out with a sly grin.  Celest looked at him a bit confused “wait a minute” she started in a confused tone “this whole thing.. this whole story was written just so you could drain 120 different people?” Xander smiled at her “yep, absolutely” he said proudly Celest just stared at him still not grasping it all “and... your not going to knock me out?” she asked for clarification. Xander laughed “yes I am... but not until after a romantic dinner, and a long, long evening of romance, seduction, and love” he said moving in and kissing her softly. Celest returned the kiss and smiled “I see, did you have that planned from the beginning?” Xander licked her lips “yep, 120 people down, me overly energized, and nothing but peace and quiet for the next 12 hours or so. The perfect time to treat my girlfriend to a special night.” he said proudly. Celest blushed a bit and kissed him gently “that's very sweet of you love,  even if you are a caveman” she teased. Xander smiled and grunted, then in one quick motion picked up Celest and ran straight towards the window. Jumping head first with her out the window and spreading his wings.  Gliding around the building and out one of the larger arena sky lights towards their penthouse, smiling all the way, and enjoying Celest’s constant, unending, scream.
