            The 17^th precinct was still in shambles but with whatever hands Daniel and Baker would get their hands on they would rebuild it to its former self. Ben was in chemical forensics after his encounter with Sheeva that he had to be checked out for any signs of infection or anything out of the ordinary. Warner and Nix were back on their feet helping out the rest of the department’s police units being recalled and given the situation via radio. Wayne cleans up the gun cabinet and wiped off the blood on the floor from the death of his only mentor. Maeda was in the medical forensics room still looking up mitochondria samples from over the bodies of the dead cops to see if any one of them is at risk of becoming an NMC. Out of all the people in the police station…only two were alone to think about what they were going up against: Aya and Xeo. Aya was able to feel her body becoming more alerted to the power she used against Sheeva and had to think about what Xeo said to her. It was her choice to use her power for better or worse and she could already know what to do with it. Aya was set on one goal: Take down Eve and anything made in her image of Neo-Mitochondria Creatures that she spawned. Xeo, on the other hand, was asleep after his body went into deep meditation. He could only think about how he was able to hold himself against the monster hours ago. While in his sleep he was able to have a dream with The Force to guide him through it. Xeo was able to hear the voices of the mitochondria and then he had that moment of Aya’s nuclei speaking to him. Not sure about it, Xeo puts that image behind him as he kept trying to hear more of the voices from the mitochondria was still able to pick up on Aya’s only. They kept making outbursts of energy signals and messages to take over the host but weren’t able to; however, other messages were being heard by the Jedi.
            “Want…feel wanted…wanting…”
            “What was that…” he said while waking up for a moment while sweating. He felt like his mind went through another mental image of what happen to the precinct hours ago. It wasn’t long before he wanted to get up that a sudden riff in The Force was felt in his mind. “Dreazin…ahhhh at last, I founded you…” Xeo got up and started walked down the hallways to find either Daniel or Aya. Passing the wreckage and the cops they stop to look at Xeo and gave him high signs of endearment for saving the captain.
            “Xeo! Our hero…Jedi right?” a cop said to him while Xeo nodded. He could only guess that Daniel told Wayne about who he was just to save himself from being locked up. The Jedi could also come to the conclusion that Aya did tell Baker about himself and that last couple of nights he was doing with Daniel and Aya. If the cops weren’t ganging up on him for what he did to Will…it was sure enough that Baker made him a non-suspect at this point. He could hear the voice of Daniel echoing far down the main hallway as Xeo came down the steps and walked towards the source of his voice. Once entering Baker’s office he was looked at by Aya, Warner, Daniel, and a few new faces in NYPD uniforms.
            “Welcome, Xeo…or shall we all call you…Detective Xeo?” Daniel said to him as Warner and a few other cops clapped for him.
            “Uh…me? Detective?” Xeo said as he didn’t understand why he was being told this information.
            “Aya and Baker explained about how you saved our captain in the line of duty,” Daniel said as he kept going on. “…you saved my son and you have the look of being a detective even if your father was a PI. Beside…sense you are a Jedi and they are like an enforcer of justice we think you should be one of us. Baker even told me after he took off to get any other officers back here.”
            “I guess I should be thankful, Daniel.”
            “Meh…don’t sweat it. We just don’t have a badge for you but until we get people to come back to the city…will…” Daniel said while looking at his weapon. “…your weapon of badass will be your badge, Xeo.” The Jedi looked at his lightsaber and could understand how it could be an icon of order and justice. After all it is the symbol of one who is been admitted to The Jedi Order, if one existed. Xeo nodded and stand aside while Daniel spoke to everyone else in the room. “Ah, ahem…ah, people…after that moment with Xeo…eerr” Daniel kept stalling on his words as he was trying to figure out how he can be in charge of the precinct.
            “C’mon, Daniel,” Aya said while trying to encourage his leadership skills. “You’re in charge now. Daniel brushed his hair while trying to think of something to say that would be leadership quality.
            “Yeah, well…I’m not used to this sorta thing.”
            “You’re doin great, boss!” Warner said. “At least you’re not being a complete asshole…”
            “Thanks…” Daniel said sarcastically towards Warner. “Anyways…why did Eve and Dreazin decide to attack the precinct…?”
            “To get rid of us…?” Aya said while Xeo shook his head.
            “That would be a part of her goal. I don’t think it’s the one thing she wants to do…yet,” Xeo said as he kept thinking of other answers. “Maeda…maybe he knows something.”
            “You’re right, Xeo,” Daniel said while agreeing with him. “Where’d he go, anyway?”
            “He’s not too far…” Aya said.
            “You and Xeo go look for him. I gots me some work to do here,” Daniel said. Aya and Xeo make their way through the precinct to find Maeda. Along the way, Aya was able to see the cops’ reactions to Xeo now that he is part of their team. Every cop was shaking his hand on saving Baker and helping those who were indeed of saving. Aya looked at Xeo as she could see the reactions on their fellow NYPD.
            “You see…your skills made you notice by NYPD. Baker and everyone that you saved are excited to have you on our force now, even if you have a higher authority somewhere else,” Aya said while Xeo look back at Aya.
            “It’s what I am and what I do. Still...detective or not…we still have to find Eve and Dreazin. Now that everyone knows about who I am it’s safer for me to be able to act as a Jedi now,” Xeo spoke to her as they moved up stairs to find Maeda. It didn’t take them long to know he was in the medical forensic lab room. They enter the room while Maeda was researching more on the mitochondria samples. Ignoring them both, Aya had to get his attention.
            “Thought you’d be here.”
            “How did you guess…?” Maeda said while turning around to see Aya and Xeo. “Heh, wow. For a moment I thought Xeo wasn’t a Jedi anymore form his job referral to NYPD. Already a detective…Xeo.”
            “Still a Jedi at heart…” Xeo said while Maeda nodded to agree with his title towards Jedi and not NYPD.
            “Don’t wake up Ben,” Maeda said while point to Daniel’s only son and family member left. “He’s tied from crying over Sheeva…poor kid. I don’t know about you Xeo but…this kind of place makes me think more clearly,” he said while fixing his glasses.
            “It’s something you know like the back of your hand. You know it and you can easily be open minded and be at peace. Full of harmony,” Xeo said to Maeda while Aya turned towards him.
            “I sware, Xeo…” Maeda said. “You speak like you are Japanese at times…it’s weird like a Zen Shaolin samurai warrior with a glow stick of pure energy!”
            “Heh…again with that?” Xeo said as he tried not to laugh to hard. Aya smiled at him to see him be normal for once.
            “Well…it kind of did,” Aya said to Xeo.
            “What is this…I feel like I’m getting ganged up! Help! Help! I’m being repressed!!” Xeo said jokingly to them as they both laugh at the Jedi. By this time Daniel came into the room after dealing with the new cops and giving out his orders to everyone in the office.
            “Hey Maeda,” Daniel said as he got into the room. Once he stopped walking he looked over to see his son still asleep by the traumatic event he had to see. Instead of being a jokester in front of Maeda and with an overloud toned voice he just got to the point with his question. “Why did Eve attacked the precinct?”
            “A distraction?” Maeda said without a good answer to back up.
            “What for, man!?” Daniel said to Maeda. Xeo tried to think about the ripple in The Force that made him felt the presence of Dreazin being able to be spotted from Xeo’s Jedi senses. Maeda pondered about how Eve and Dreazin’s attack was nothing more that for NYPD to waste time.
            “Is there a sperm back or a hospital that conducts artificial insemination nearby?” Maeda asked anyone in the room.
            “A sperm bank?!” Daniel said. Maeda walked over to his research corner and pulled up some paper work with data about the mitochondria samples and Eve’s sample, which he compared to each other for any variations in life cycle. As he looked at the data worksheet he then looked at Daniel to give him his opinion for the attack on the NYPD to be nothing more than a distraction.
            “Well, I don’t think Eve’s body will last much longer. Right now, the mitochondria are just parasites in her body…” Maeda said while Daniel was able to remember what he had mentioned before.
            “What a second…she’s trying to create this Ultimate Being, like she did in Japan?”
            “What is this Ultimate Being you speak of?” Xeo said while Maeda and Daniel threw their heads down and shook in disappointment.
            “A very nasty NMC from what I can tell,” Aya said to Xeo of what the U.B. could turn out to be in a nut shell.
            “Right…and I’m afraid so,” Maeda said to Daniel.
            “If we can get to her before she creates this Ultimate Being. She will die eventually?” Xeo said to Maeda.
            “She will but now Eve will be more desperate than ever. I think at St. Francis Hospital specialized in artificial insemination,” Daniel said while he looked at Aya as she had that look of not taking any chances in her eyes.
            “Let’s go, Maeda! Xeo, you too.”
            “Don’t worry about me, Aya. I’ll stay back and ensure that we don’t fuck up our home base with the rookies,” Daniel said while Aya, Xeo, and Maeda start heading towards the car grudge. It was still over a whole day after the attack happen on the precinct that it was night in the city again. Aya, now behind the wheel of a cop car, made driving less hazardous then what Daniel did most of the time that Maeda and Xeo know too well. Xeo was in the front of the car while Maeda was still in the back of the car. They drove their way to the hospital as Aya wasn’t hearing too much out of Maeda on their way there.
            “What’s wrong? You’re awfully quiet, Maeda.”
            “…It’s just not the same without Daniel yelling and driving at insane speeds,” he said while Xeo nodded.
            “He said he’s gonna get the dirt on Klamp now that he’s in charge,” Aya said to Maeda.
            “Oh that’s good…find out what he is or what he has been up too,” Xeo spoke out loud.
            “Of course, Ben too for that matter,” Maeda also added to what Xeo said. Aya kept driving without saying anything while she asked the Jedi a question.
            “Xeo…”
            “Yes, Aya?” he said to her.
            “Have you ever…felt like the power you have, The Force, is able to control you at times?”
            “Like how you think the mitochondria are trying to do to your body?” Xeo said to Aya as she nodded.
            “It feels at times…your power to do all those moves becomes second nature. Almost…unable to break away from.”
            “A power like this doesn’t simply go away unless you are able to turn away from it. I won’t be able to until Dreazin and Eve are stopped. Once I do…well. It depends…” Xeo said while Maeda jumps into the conversation.
            “If you ever get back that is?”
            “Yes…if I ever get back…” Xeo said to Maeda. The Jedi just looks back into the stars as Aya now ask Maeda a question. He looks up and wonders if his life will ever be the same again if the New Republic doesn’t rescue him.
            “Maeda. That creature that was born in Japan…what happened to it?”
            “It died. Along with the scientist that was its father…” Maeda explained to Aya as she turns towards him for a moment while driving.
            “How did…a monster like that die?”
            “There was a rebellion…” Maeda said while Xeo was thinking about the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire. The Dark Times, as Luke would call it, when the Galactic Empire was vast and almost unstoppable but the splitter group of the Rebel Alliance made it possible to overthrow such an evil army. He kept thinking about the days he might not ever see again and might begin to like it without the trouble of war and conflict in space once he deals with Dreazin. “The mitochondria passed from the father didn’t connect with the ones passed from Eve. It began to deteriorate and the father held into the dissolving flesh and they died.”
            “Even though it’s a monster,” Aya said while Xeo was able to understand a small change in her emotional mind about the term ‘monster’ means. The Jedi was still able to remember the moment his mind had a sudden case of a fiery image of a man saying ‘monster’ in the back of his head. He thought it was Dreazin but wasn’t too sure still at this time. “I guess it’s still your child…” she said while the car kept speeding away throughout the vacant city with only the cold and wind chill to take up resident. Xeo didn’t feel any changes or effects in The Force as he tried to sense his brother before he even woke up; however, his Jedi senses picked up an aura around another building that had the taint of The Dark Side coalescing around it. It became stronger as Aya pulled the car over and applied the parking brake. His mind soon was filled by the ominous presence of The Dark Side that likes he had encounter before by Dreazin. They got out of the car as Aya notice her body started to feel hot again as Xeo felt warmth while his Jedi senses could feel the energy emitting from it. The power wasn’t very strong to dull his other Jedi skills but he had to focus to be able to feel any dangers that could come they’re way. “Xeo? You have that look again…” Aya said while she could tell Xeo had been slient the whole time as soon as he got out of the car and couldn’t look at her or Maeda. The Jedi was fixed on the building until he turned around to tell Aya and Maeda why he was having a trance stare.
            “He is here…” Xeo said
            “You mean?” Maeda spoke while having a sudden change of tone in his voice that sound of fear.
            “…Dreazin, your brother?” Aya answered for Maeda as Xeo nodded.
            “The Dark Side is strong in this place. Not the kind I was feeling before when Eve was around. If…I can feel his presence then…he will know that I am here. That means you too…” Xeo said while looking at both Maeda and Aya.
            “Does The Dark Side feel…hot to you?” Aya said while she couldn’t how The Dark Side of The Force would feel any different from Eve’s power.
            “…It’s a warm…flow of energy that can be felt on your skin and in your mind. What Eve has is something much of the opposite. You feel hot and burning sensations from how she commands the mitochondria in everyone’s body but I could tell it’s only a little trace of The Dark Side for her power to be felt as…”
            “Then how come I can feel hot and you say Dreazin is here?” Aya questioned Xeo while looking at the hospital at first then panning her view to see stringed up Christmas lights on the outside trees to just see if anything looked like an NMC or strange looking.
            “That…can’t be possible…unless they are both here. Hmm…” Xeo said while Maeda walked up to the glass doors and couldn’t go on.
            “She’s right. I do feel hot the more I go near the hospital. Eve’s power is here so I could only guess that either Dreazin is here too or just Eve.”
            “It wouldn’t be possible unless Dreazin founded away to mask his presence on another entity like Eve…” Xeo said while he looked at Aya who now was having a trance look on her face. “Aya…? You’re trying to do some kind of trance of…” he kept saying to related to his Jedi powers but Aya cut him off in mid-speech.
            “This hospital…” Aya said as Xeo looked at the front entrance and had a moment to recall the vision he had with her.
            “You’re right…this place was in your...” Xeo said while being able to make out the structure and coloring. “I knew somehow The Force would guide is on some path…”
            “Let’s get going…we can’t let Eve find that sperm sample,” Aya said to Xeo and then looked at Maeda. “You wait here, Maeda.”
            “Be sure to take cover in the car. I don’t know if Dreazin will care to find you being outside,” Xeo said while Maeda nodded. He then looked at Aya as it was the sign to head into the building. The doors open automatically as they went over the mat that forced the door to act on command. “I thought I did that with my power without even thinking…do you have automatic doors?”
            “We have that technology,” Aya said while checking her aim as soon as she pulled out her Beretta.
            “I see…I thought that only would be possible where I live but…” Xeo kept saying while he wanted to get back on the task at hand and said, “…uh never mind.” As they enter the building the main entrance room was like the vision they both saw. A reception desk and chairs off to the left side of the room with Christmas decorations on the walls of the room, even a full lighten tree was in a corner. They both went down the dark grey matting on the floor to an enclosed corridor. “So…can you feel anything?” Aya said to Xeo while he knew what she wanted. Xeo tried to use The Force to sense anyone…or anything in the building; however, his senses were only limited with the power of The Dark Side ever so dominating his skills.
            “It’s hard to tell…my mind is clouded by the power in this place. I could only feel anything within…30 ft away from us. It might even be less when we get to Eve but that won’t matter if we need to see her in plain sight,” Xeo said while being at Aya’s side with his lightsaber in his right hand, which he wouldn’t accidently use his weapon while being close to her right side. Aya and Xeo got to the end of the corridor that had an elevator on each side of the walls and a double opening glass door at the end of the wall. Xeo looked around and tried to think of a best possible direction to go with only limited information to tell them where to go. Aya was trying to find a directory nearby the elevators when she looked at one of the glass doors. She slowly walked towards it to see a little girl in a hospital gown with red slippers curled up on the ground. It was that same little girl that Aya has been seeing in the past couple of days when she wanted to go after Eve. “Aya…” Xeo said as he turned to look at her kneeling on the ground.
            “Maya?” Aya said in her mind while the little girl faded away while running away from Aya. She got back up and still thought in her head of what she just saw. “…or was it just my reflection from the door?” Xeo came up to Aya and knew something happened that he couldn’t understand.
            “What happen? You suddenly felt ill?” Aya turned towards Xeo.
            “I had a…hallucination of…my sister,” Aya said. Xeo looked at the door and didn’t see anything while he tried to think how she could have seen her.
            “Hallucination…not like a spirit of some kind?” Aya nodded.
            “She was just there…and then ran away…vanishing,” Aya told the Jedi while he couldn’t find an answer.
            “I…I can’t understand why you could…and I don’t see her or even feel her presence,” Xeo explained to Aya. She moved towards an elevator and pressed the up button. While they wait for the doors to open Xeo kept talking to her about the vision she had about the little girl on the table. “What about that vision you had of the little girl on the table. I heard your thoughts being said but did…she looked like that to you just now?”
            “Yes. She did…I thought it was Maya just now and even then…that vision almost felt like her,” Aya said as Xeo was able to have a moment of enlighten with the voice that spoke to him back in Klamp’s lab.
            “That…voice then…from your sample…”
            “Huh?” Aya said while looking at Xeo. By then the door chimed as it opened for them to go in. They both head inside while Xeo was trying to explain to her about the encounter he had with The Force when communicating with the mitochondria. Aya pushes for a floor that would seem to be the best place to find the sperm bank. Before Xeo could even say what he heard to Aya the elevator stops suddenly. They both looked at each other thinking something went wrong with the machinery above, but it all became clear in who was forcing the elevator to come to a halt.
            “Going down?” said the twist and force driven voice of Eve. It didn’t take long for Aya to know what could be holding up the elevator’s progress.
            “Oh no…the elevator cables!” she yelled while Xeo couldn’t be ready in time to do anything with his powers. With only a few seconds after Aya’s theory of what Eve could do to the elevator it became true as a large swipe of Eve’s hands cut the cables out clean. The cart caring Xeo and Aya started to fall with increasing speed as they both kneel down to be balanced from the gravity pull. Soon the cart of the elevator finally crashed and came to a stop as the both fell to the ground. Once they got back their footing, Aya forces the doors to be open at the basement level of the hospital. As soon as they both got out and were in a bricked hallway the voice of Eve came back again.
            “Oh dear me, I should of told you ahead of time that visiting hours are over,” she said while another voice spoke that only Xeo would know from his personal life.
            “Heed her warning, brother…as you aren’t ready to know your place in the real world,” spoke Dreazin as Xeo could feel his presence even stronger that before.
            “Dreazin!” Xeo said while Aya kept looking around to see if Eve or Dreazin were visible but only their voices echoed in the distance.
            “Now…for your first lesson, Xeo. The Dark Side is everywhere as much at The Force is…only takes is for one’s own view of darkness to manifest all around them.”
            “What he means is…” Eve said as Dreazin stop speaking for the time being. “Night, night…Don’t let the bed bugs bite. Hehehe!” With that laugher being echoed on the floor Xeo and Aya were on a loud fizzle sound was being heard from a nearby control panel.
            “The power!” Aya said while Xeo tried to open the doors with The Force but soon a tremendous amount of pain was felt within his body. He kneel down as he kept trying to use his Jedi powers but wasn’t able to do anything by the time the power blew out. Only the emergency cyan lights were on.
            “Damn it!” Xeo said as Dreazin’s voice echoed again for both to hear.
            “Now now…brother. I can’t let you make this easy for yourself. You have to learn to accept the darkness all around you. Even for someone close to you to feel its power and fearful sights…as for now I must be off to help Eve. I hope you…two enjoy The Dark Side down there…hahahah!”
            “Xeo!” Aya said while trying to get Xeo to stand up.
            “He…he nullify my powers for the moment. They will come back…just…” Xeo said while look at the destroyed power box. “…If I could only get to it…”
            “I doubt that you could have stopped it,” Aya said while looking at the power box too. “You had to be crazy to stop that kind of power flow.” Xeo just nodded and walked up to the door. He tried to open it but it was locked. Unable to use his Force Powers to unlock the door he tried the second best answer, his lightsaber. He ignites it and slowly runs the blade from top to bottom to melt of the lock. Once he did he kicked the doors open to not let the melting frame of the doors to get on him or Aya. They both walk in and looked at the control power box. “What a mess…” Aya said while they were looking at fuses and wiring completely ripped out, melted, and destroyed.
            “Looks like it was murdered…” Xeo said while he could only think of that at the time. They both look to see what could be done. “Well I could get the wiring fixed but the fuses…I think we need to find some.” Aya nodded as Xeo tried his best to add the right wires to work again while using his lightsaber, as a tool this time, to melt the wires to become whole again. After some trial and error, Xeo could tell that all the work he did was done. “That’s over with…now for those fuses. See any of them around?”
            “Nope…” Aya said while she looked around for anything that was remotely a useable fuse that wasn’t burnt out or destroyed. “Better go look for some.” They got out of the power box room and back into the hallway. “No use trying the other elevator without power unless you could use your Jedi abilities to move it on your own?”
            “Not until I can feel it again. For now…I just have to use my lightsaber,” Xeo said while trying to even use the simple powers against the broken elevator. So far he couldn’t feel The Force at the moment as he had to trust Aya’s power to aid them in the dark and silence corridors of the basement floor. They kept walking down until they could see a couple of doors at the end of the corridor, which they were one on each side of another wall and one door to their far right side.
            “This might take a while,” Aya said while she looked at Xeo. “You think we should split up?” He thought about it but wasn’t too sure if he needs to use The Force and was in a sticky situation.
            “I would say yes but not in my current state…” said the powerless Jedi to Aya. She slowly walked up with her handgun aimed while trying the first nearest right side door. Opening up the door she wasn’t able to see anything inside of the room at first, but her eyes did pick up an object near on top of a wooden shelf. Aya reached for it as Xeo could tell that it was a fuse that they need to use. “Hold on, Aya…I can give you a hand,” Xeo said while seeing how she was having a hard time trying to get the fuse.
            “It’s okay I think I…got it,” Aya said while getting the fuse at last and putting it in her jacket pocket. She then turns towards Xeo to say, “Thank you anyways, Xeo.” He nodded while starting to stand up on his own as he could feel a bit of his powers coming back. To Xeo’s surprise that he was able to have a touch of The Force back in time for Aya to notice the presences of NMCs nearby as she readied her handgun for them. “I hope you have your powers back.”
            “Kind of but I can tell we’re not going after anything humanoid. This feels…much different,” Xeo said as they both look around the other side of room that was divided by a wooden shelf in the middle. As they moved near the other side they were able to see an NMC that looked like an overgrown cell creature. It had a visible nucleus and clear membrane and slithered on the ground. Unable to be at his fullest, Xeo got his lightsaber out and only used one hand as he used the Shii-Cho style for quick slashes. Aya didn’t waste time for the NMCs as three of the overgrown monsters came after her. Not being able to make a headshot count, she was able to tell that the nucleus would count as a brain as she shot a few rounds into one of them. It died and started to melt right away. Xeo moved in as one of the NMC tried to let off a red volatile gel like substance at the Jedi. The lightsaber dissolved it as he thrust his weapon into the creature. Although Xeo did kill one of them the last remaining NMC cell type monster was able to lunch its red substance at him. It landed on his hand but nothing happen because it was covered up by his gloves. He just looked at it and changed his footing to end its life. He got back up while Aya reloads her gun. “I guess it would have been bad if I had exposed flesh,” he said while Aya looked at the door on the other side of the room.
            “Let’s move…” Aya said while she opens up the door and they both came out of the room. Xeo kept trying to get the substance off his glove while Aya look to her left to see a door that wasn’t been opened before; however, to her right…was the little girl again. “Maya wait!” she said to her as Xeo looked at Aya.
            “Aya?...I don’t see…” he said while Aya kept talking out loud.
            “It’s me!!” Aya spoke. “Why are you dressed in those clothes? You must be cold…?” her voice went from energetic to a confused tone as the vision of ‘Maya’ went walking off to the left from Aya’s point of view. Xeo could only think about what just happened but had to ask Aya.
            “She…showed up again? Maya?” the Jedi asked Aya.
            “She was there. I could tell…I could,” Aya pleaded to Xeo but he just nodded. “Uh…Xeo I don’t want you to think that I’m…”
            “No…” Xeo said while he already knew what Aya was about to say. “The Force can also show visions and images of those we know or haven’t seen yet. Those who are alive and those who have passed on and become one with The Force. For you to see Maya and only you eludes me. Strange…” Xeo ponders for a moment while looking back at Aya to answer what she was going to say about herself. “Anyways…no I don’t think your crazy, Aya. This happens from time to time as someone who can feel The Force…come on.” Aya nodded to Xeo as they both head down the hallway that Maya, that only Aya could have be able to see, to the door that she went into while vanishing. Opening up the door was a desk with some paperwork and a model skeleton of in a corner.
            “A dead end?” Aya said while trying to understand why Maya went into this room. Xeo looked around the room and then looked at Aya.
            “I think I could try to sense out anything that is important. Give me a second,” the Jedi said while his powers started to come back. He was able to feel The Force more as time went on after what Dreazin did to make him gimp at the moment. Xeo use his Force Sight to see the room with any indications of anything important. It didn’t take him long to see something within the desk’s storage. “Try that right top drawer.” Aya walked over to open it and saw a key inside saying ‘Autopsy Key’.
            “Well…we got a key. Don’t know how much this can help out?”
            “In time…” Xeo said while walking over to the left side of the room to see a curtain blocking their pathway to a larger room. Bodies with blankets covered in bloodstains were on the right side while morgue storage bins were on the left. The bodies were fresh from lack of skin as Aya could think of what the corpuses would be from.
            “I think those are the Carnegie Hall victims…but why are they still out on the tables?”
            “I could only guess…but I’m not the kind to guess at this point,” Xeo said while they kept going to the long room to hear a sudden sound being made from one of the storage bins for the dead. Aya took up her gun as Xeo was ready for what could be another NMC attack. Sure enough it was another attack; however, the table for one of the dead bodies became a humanoid NMC and jumped at Xeo while the some doors were forced up to show more overgrown cell monsters coming at them. Aya thought Xeo needed the NMC off but it didn’t take him long to flip his body and forced the NMC off into a red gel substance. The humanoid creature started to scream out in pain from the burning sensation it was feeling as Aya put it down from her weapon. After she blew its brains out, Xeo was able to Force Pull one of the cell like monsters into his lightsaber as he had it in a reverse stance style while swing it upwards. He lunged at another nearby NMC still having his lightsaber reveres by driving in into the nucleus of the creature. Aya ran over to get close enough to take down the last one as its membrane oozed all over the floor. Checking each other for anything blood from the NMCs they move on to the other side of the room and out the door. Going out of the door they were back in the hallway which the door they came out of was the farthest door to the right.
            “Let’s try that door down there,” Aya said as she points to the door that was on their left from once they enter this hallways before. They both went down the corridor, passing the intersection that they came out before, and got to the door she pointed to before. Xeo tried to open it before but it was locked. Thought he should us his Jedi powers to open the lock but Aya saw the door was titled ‘Autopsy Room’. “Let me…” Aya said as she tried the key and the door became unlocked. Leaving the key in the door, they both enter the room slowly to see if any NMCs were larking in the shadows. More bodies of burn victims were on tables as they’re insides were opened up from pervious operations. Aya walked slowly and checking every hidden place for an NMC to be hiding while Xeo check the paper work on some of the bodies on a nearby table.
            “More of them…from Carnegie hall. This body was marked for organ donation…that one too,” Xeo said while waking over to the other table. “I highly doubt that they will come back as NMCs if most of the organs are missing.” Aya kept walking over to another door on the other side of the room; however, Xeo was able to feel imminent danger close to Aya. He looked to see where she was as the presence of an NMC was right about her. “Aya…don’t move,” the Jedi said while getting his lightsaber ready to strike down the hard to see cell creature above Aya’s head. Aya froze in here spot as her body was telling her where it was. Without warning she turns to face the NMC on the ceiling and discharges her gun, but the monster was already being to fall on to her. Xeo, risking her life by trying to use whatever amount of Force Power he had in him, turns his lightsaber on and Force Speeds and Force Jumps at the monster. In mid-flight, the Jedi was able to swing his lightsaber and cut it down into two while passing by it. As he went passed the dead NMC he was able to see that it didn’t went into two halves but he knew he made his mark on it. Forcing Pushing the dead creature away from Aya his body went towards the door and destroyed the door by crashing into it. Aya got back up and look to see that all what Xeo did was in an instant as after she shot her gun off that the NMC was dead and Xeo was inside the other room. Aya runs into the cremation chamber room to see Xeo on his back.
            “Xeo?” Aya said while he opened up his eyes and look at her.
            “I really though…that…would of gone better,” he said while Aya extended her arm for Xeo to grab on too. Once he got back up and brushed off the dust on his own leather jacket they both looked around the room for anything that was important. Aya soon found another fuse on top of a medical locker as Xeo could feel something odd about a body that was lying on the ground.
            “Found another!” she said as it went into her pocket with the other fuse.
            “I think one more shall do…” Xeo said while he was checking out the body to find a shiny object under it. “…I think this also will help.” He found a keycard with the color blue on it. They both meet up together and started walking out of the cremation and autopsy rooms.
            “Were I saw Maya…there was a blue light flashing near the other side of the wall…it could work there,” Aya said while they were making their way back to the hallway where Maya was spotted. At the end of the hallway Xeo gave Aya the keycard and inserted it into the card reader. The door opened automatically while Aya discards the keycard away on the floor. Once inside they saw a door on the right side; however, Aya had another moment of saying Maya near another power box. The little girl coughed as Aya couldn’t ignore her being there even after Xeo talked to her about The Force and those who are dead. She didn’t know if she had a power like Xeo but she couldn’t dyne the fact of seeing Maya off in the distance. “Maya wait! Don’t leave me…alone…” Aya yelled out. Xeo just kept looking at her while still unable to see Maya but tried to use his Force Powers to feel Maya’s aura. The vision of the little girl vanished again as Aya feeling upset the more she tried to find her sister. The Jedi wasn’t able to feel anything or able to know any presence in The Force from where Aya was looking at.
            “I don’t get it…you can see her and yet…I’m not able to feel her aura,” Xeo said while Aya turned her head for a moment and then walked down the hallway. Xeo could tell she wasn’t happy at the fact that her sister kept running away as if she was doing something wrong. They both tried the next door on their right. The room had lockers and a sliding door that was left open. Slowly they walked pass the sliding door until it shut suddenly. Xeo turned around as Aya aim around the room to see if NMCs were hiding in with them; however, there was one NMC hiding with them. It came out of the shadows to show itself as a creature that had multiple parts of the human body all rolled into one monster. It had an elongated hand and was a tri-pod like monster. The NMC wasn’t a humanoid but it had the makings of one.
            “Oh…wow. Eve has done far worst then I could imagination,” Aya said as the monster came after them. It tried to use its hand to claw at Aya but she felt the need to use her power to speed up her reflexes. She dodges most of its attacks until Xeo came around the dismembered the arm of the NMC. It screamed out as it tried to trample the Jedi. Aya shot at one of its legs to slow it down but it kept on moving. Xeo Force Push a chair into the monster to knock it over and to be on its back. He came over and took a few swings to kill it but it didn’t die as it kept trying to attack him. Aya then unloads her handgun until the monster finally gives into the blood lost and dies. As it melted away, Aya and Xeo just looked at each other about what they saw.
            “Eve…this is something twisted by a power like The Dark Side,” Xeo said.
            “Whatever it is…it’s no more. I just hope it’s the only time will run into something like that…” Aya said while looked beyond the already dissolving NMC to see a tinkle off in the distance. As she goes over to see what it is Xeo kept trying to open the door with his Force Powers. “I think we found the last one!” Aya said to Xeo as she found the last fuse they needed to get the power starting.
            “That’s great!” Xeo said while still trying to get the door to open. Aya walked over to Xeo when he had used his Force Push onto the glass door and shatters it. “It wasn’t opening…” he said while Aya looked at what he did with his Force Powers. Walked pass the broken glass they got out of the room while heading for the power box that they need to turn back on. Once they were near the power box Aya puts the fuses into the proper place and switch on the power lever. The cyan lights went away as the normal bright white lights came back on. “Good job, Aya,” Xeo said as a complement for what she just fixed.
            “All the credit doesn’t go to me. You did your part,” Aya said back to Xeo as they make their way to the only working elevator in the building. Aya presses the button as they wait for the elevator to come down. At this time Xeo only makes one comment to himself.
            “Light always prevails, Dreazin…” Aya looked at him for a moment while pushing her aside to see him clearer and for her hair to be straight.
            “I guess you failed his lesson?” Aya said while trying to be witty at him.
            “Na…this will just make him think of some other trial he would put me through.” The elevator chimed as the door opened up. They both go inside as Aya presses for the main floor this time without trying to have a repeat of what Xeo and Aya went through. As soon as the cart of the elevator reach the main floor Xeo walks and started heading of the main entrance room again; however, he could not hear Aya’s footsteps. “Aya?” he said while she looked down to the floor followed by her talking to herself.
            “Maya…and…me?” Aya said while the vision of both her and Maya ran passing through Xeo’s legs and disappearing again. “Xeo…I saw Maya and…” she kept saying but her talking stopped as Xeo turned around fast to see another twisted humanoid NMC on the main floor. Off in the distance Maeda was even able to see the creature and took step back from the building.
            “Oh my! Damn it, Xeo or Aya…Just kill it!” Maeda yelled out at them. Xeo didn’t waste any time if Aya didn’t have a clear shot and just rushed the monster. The creature ran to Xeo but the Jedi slid under the monster while his lightsaber cut off all three legs. At the point he Force Pushes the monster into the air that made it impacted into the ceiling. By then, the Jedi got back on his feet quickly and Force Jumps at the NMC. He upper cuts the monster into its chest with this lightsaber and killed it with only a little use of Ataru style. Falling back down and rolling away from the remains of the NMC he just killed stood back up while Aya was witnessing his will of The Force.
            “That was close…” Aya had to say while seeing Xeo not moved by what he just did.
            “Now…what about you seeing yourself?” Xeo said while turning off his lightsaber.
            “I just did…me and Maya…running down towards you…off to the left.” Xeo looked to Aya’s left to see a double door being open.
            “Somehow…I think Maya is guiding you. That door is open,” Xeo said while they make haste towards the newly opened door. As soon as they step into the door they were seeing an exanimation room with an X-ray displayer and beds for people to rest on; however, they were also seeing another kind of NMC. This time they were being blocked by a kangaroo type creature.
            “…This…is odd,” Aya said while Xeo didn’t have a clue why it would be weird until Aya explained to him. “That can’t be here. It’s from another part of the world…”
            “Unless Central Park has anything to do with it…the zoo?” Xeo said while the kangaroo creature tried to tail whip both Aya and Xeo. It only stood a chance as Aya shot its tail and Xeo sliced of its head off with a diagonal cut.
            “Could be…” Aya said while they kept moving to the other side of the room. There was another section to the exanimation room while two more kangaroo like monster came after them. One jump high at Xeo while he was seeing it in mid-air.
            “I’ll take that bet…” he said while he jump as high and at the NMC while Aya started putting lead into the other kangaroo. But the time she was done with it, Xeo kicked the creature and send it flying into the ground while coming down on top of it, which his lightsaber ran through its neck. After Aya reloads her gun she was able to feel something odd about the room they were in. Xeo watched the NMC melt away and could feel his powers coming back to him in full effect, which even made him think if he was able to do more that he knew at this point. “I can feel The Force really helping me out now. I’m not the kind of person that would use this power for attacks like those but…I’m been able to pull of moves that I think even Skywalker wouldn’t…do…” Xeo said while Aya was looking at two beds in the room. “Aya?” the Jedi ask her while she kept looking.
            “This room…! I’ve seen it before! Xeo…look!” she said while Xeo look on with her and could tell already that this was the place that he saw her vision of the little girl being on the table, which was now a hospital bed.
            “This is where…I could see it. Aya?” Xeo said while she wasn’t able to speak for she was having her body feel heat from within.
            “I’m…getting hot! Xeo!” Aya said while the Jedi came over to her side. Trying to use his Force Heal on Aya he was also beginning to feel the heat from Aya influencing his mind. “I…know I’ve been here before…but why?” she kept saying while Xeo tried his best to fight off the heat from his own body and to help Aya but it wasn’t working. The pain started to get to him as Aya kept getting hot with no signs of cooling off. “What…what was I doing…here?”
            “Just fight it, Aya!” Xeo yelled at her but soon his mind was taken over by the heat as both Aya and Xeo had their eyesight blinded by light. Soon it became apparent that they were living through a flashback from Aya’s life. Xeo was able to see it with her when his Force Powers were being block by Aya’s mitochondrial power. It triggered his mind to be connected to hers temporarily through The Force. They were seeing the beds with no one in them for the moment. Soon a flash came with a pulsating sound echoing in the background as a little was shown on the bed to the left. Then both beds had two little girls with a doctor looking over them. Another flash happened to only see one girl on the right bed being there while the doctor kept looking. The vision then started flashing more of the hospital that they been through too much as it suddenly went black. From Aya’s visions came more of Xeo’s pass life being shown to her in such fast passé. Xeo and Dreazin fighting each other on The Light of Hope, the pass days being on Earth, Eve, NMCs, NYPD, Daniel, and Aya herself with the moments he looked at her when she knew…and didn’t knew. It all came to an end with fire all around to see and a man standing in the middle of the fire. At first the shadowy figure was not able to see but then the face showed as Dreazin’s face; however, it quickly turned away as showed Xeo’s face instead while having a change in his personality and eye coloring being a mix of orange and red. Once the visions ended Aya was able to get back up as Xeo let go of her. They both looked at each other to figure out what just happened.
            “I saw…Maya…and me,” Aya said. “We were on the beds over there…in this very room. But what was that of you?”
            “I have…no idea…it felt…like me but different,” Xeo said while trying to explain to her about Xeo’s vision of him being in fire; however, Aya did say something else about the visions.
            “By the way…what was that vision of me? The time after we saved Ben?” Aya asked Xeo while he tried not to be too informal about what he did.
            “I…I was just noticing how you were able to…have all that power and still be…human? Eh?” he said while Aya could see pass him.
            “You’re Jedi right? So…why lie?” Aya said while Xeo felt caught in the act.
            “Uh…okay, Aya. I didn’t know what I was thinking at the time but I just had a moment to just…look. That’s all,” Xeo said while Aya felt she was being viewed by him in a bad way.
            “You didn’t know and yet…you still did?”
            “I just think that…you have some kind of talent that is…rare in my point of view. If you are the only one to have this power it makes me wonder how powerful you can be. It just…makes me ponder…that’s all,” Xeo said while Aya kept asking him to get to the truth.
            “Really? It isn’t just thinking?”
            “I can’t…tell…I have no idea what’s going on with my mind…just…ARG!” Xeo said while closing his eyes and putting one of his hands on his forehead as he spoke to himself. “There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge…” Xeo recites the Jedi Code as Aya looked around the room for anything else that stood out as important. As Xeo was to himself for the time being, Aya walked over to one of the beds that she was on when she was young. While examining the bed she was able to find a green keycard on a nearby table.
            “Found another keycard. I think we can use this to open that door with the green slider,” Aya said while Xeo stops and nodded as her.
            “Good…let’s see where that takes us.” They both head out of the exanimation rooms and back into the main hallway without any NMCs to run into. Once back at the door with the green key reader, Aya takes the car and inserts it. The reader checks it and unlocks the door as they swing automatically. Discarding the card they both head into a very low lit room with only the moon to show anything in the shadows. They head left from where they were standing at the moment and head down the corridor while seeing the ceiling falling apart and the wall at the end being destroyed. They walk as soon as they saw a door off to the left of them but not before Xeo felt another disturbance in The Force. “Hold on, Aya…I feel…something to do with what we came here for. It’s coming form in that room.” Aya nodded while opening up the door. They were jumped by three kangaroo creatures as one flew into the door by accident. Aya took aim and shoot the only two that were in range of her Beretta. Xeo went into the room and just stood there for a second to know where the last one was. He just turned on his lightsaber as the NMC jump for him but instead ran into his blade and fell into a pile of burning flesh.
            “Ugh…how do you stand the smell?” Aya said while Xeo looked at her and just shrugged his shoulders. “Now what was your powers telling you?”
            “This has something to do with…the sperm bank. Liquid…nitrogen. It keeps it cool without spoiling it. That valve!” Xeo said while point to it. Aya walked towards it but Xeo stopped her by shaking his head and his free hand that didn’t have his lightsaber griped. “I got this…” and with that he use The Force to move the valve to cut off the flow of coolant to the sperm back.
            “That should make our job easier…assuming Eve didn’t get to it first,” Aya said while they got out of the room and back into the darkened hallway. As they were heading out Xeo could begin to feel the flow of the coolant current within the building’s pipes.
            “I can tell that the pipes that lead up to the sperm bank is…on a floor…I can tell it’s the 13^th floor,” he said. They both went back to the elevator section of the hospital and called up the elevator to get to the higher floors. Once inside the elevator cart Aya pushes for the 13^th floor as Xeo was able to feel a change in The Dark Side current throughout the building. “Oh no…I think…” Xeo said while trying hard to feel the energy flow of The Force around the hospital. The Dark Side powerful presence started to fade away as they got to the 13^th floor. Unable to shake of his feeling through The Force, Xeo could only think of one possible explanation. “Dreazin…he left. Damn! I thought I was close to getting to him but…well…at least Eve is around here.”
            “Yes, Xeo…somewhere around here…” Aya said while the door chimed and opened for them. Once out of the elevator it was a narrow hallway with sets of doors on each side. “Which door?” she said to Xeo as he used his Jedi Sight to see any hint of a possible pathway. He was able to see some footprints, within The Force, left behind another human being in this building; although, it wasn’t a fresh trail but he could know who’s it belong to.
            “Dreazin’s trail…it goes to that door,” Xeo said as he goes left and then to the farthest right door in the hallway while passing by another dead body on the opposite side of the hallway. Aya walked behind him as he was the only one to know where to go. When entering the room they were encounter by another humanoid twisted monster. Xeo was able to surprise it by Force Pushing it into a wall as Aya step aside and shot off a few rounds into the creature; however, it didn’t put up a fight as it fell dead over from Aya’s shots.
            “Well…that was easy,” Aya said while Xeo kept looking with his Force Sight to see his pathway lead to a door that was locked.
            “Hmm…locked and no keycard…I wonder,” he said while Aya looked around the room for a sign of something that could help them.
            “What does the door say?” she asked Xeo.
            “Kennel holding area. Why?” Xeo said while Aya walked over to the other side of the room while the NMC started to melt away. On the other side of the room was a big red arrow which had a label saying “Kennel holding area”.
            “I think I found the unlocking mechanism!” Aya said while trying to move a medical cart out of the way. When she did that a button was visible to be seen and she pushed it.
            “That did it,” Xeo said as he moved his hand to feel the door not being hold back by anything. They both go into the room together while another set of kangaroo NMCs inhabited it. Full of cages and a pool of water in the middle that made Xeo have an idea. “You got right…I’ll go left.” With that said the NMCs were alerted to their presence as Xeo ran up to one and cut it down with ease. Aya move to right side of the room and shot one down in the head. The Jedi Force Push another of one of the creatures into a nearby NMC while Aya took down another by the time she was on the other side of the room. Xeo than Force Jumps into the air has high as he could and Force Saber Throws his lightsaber into the last two NMCs in the room before they could get up. The both kept walking down to another section of the room that ended up being a hallway. They came across a door that said “sperm bank” on it.
            “Finally!” Aya said as she enters the room for see if Eve was inside, but to her reaction of seeing Eve was only met with disappointment and another NMC in the room. Another twisted humanoid type monster was in the room as she took aim and used up her whole clip. It was dying as she reloaded her gun while Xeo came into the room to just get his lightsaber through its brainstem. After that battle they had Aya looks around to see that the sperm samples that she needed to get to was already raided and tubes of the samples were on the floor as some were still left inside the containers. “Damn! We’re too late…” she said while having a feeling of frustration and doubt within her mind as anything they do was only one step behind Eve.
            “I knew Dreazin had a hand in this…looks like he bought enough time to do what Eve needed. Now I know for a fact they are working together…but…that’s not how a Dark Jedi thinks,” Xeo said while Aya kept looking through the tubes of already spoiled semen.
            “Xeo…we tried. It’s just going to be harder on us to stop Eve unless she gets away at this point,” Aya said while giving up in her search any chances of finding tubes of sperm that isn’t empty, but it led her to some tossed up papers on the floor. She looked at the turn over file cadent with documents and started going through it for any reason why Eve or Dreazin had it lying on the ground. As she kept looking through she found some document that caught her Aquamarine eyes. “What is this…?” She pulled out a paper file of a HLA listing. “The HLA list. Ben’s and Lorraine’s names are on here too. It’s the same list that was on Dr.Klamp’s computer…” she said as she looked at Xeo. “The list that you accidently found!”
            “Really?” Xeo said while he ponders. “Why would that list be in there in this mess…and…if we were following Dreazin’s footsteps leading us here…then…why would he be interested in that kind list?”
            “You ask me? He’s your brother…” Aya said while trying to look more on the list. “What’s he trying to do, Klamp that is…” Xeo got down to over look at Aya’s shoulder while she kept digging around the record files in the cabinet. “These are…the patient records. Hmm…I wonder if they have anything…” she kept saying while a name came up that she couldn’t turn away from. “Mariko Brea…my mother’s record. December 23, 1977- taken in with Maya Brea after an accident. Pronounced dead after cardiac arrest,” she kept looking for more information but wasn’t able to come up with anything. “Damn it, Xeo…the next page is missing. It’s somewhere else…”
            “I think I know where…” Xeo said while using The Force to pick up another section of the document and handing it to Aya.
            “Melissa Pearce…!” Aya said while she read the paper report as Xeo looked over. “December 23, 1977- emergency hospitalization. Operation successful. After 6 months of hospitalization, released. Needs medication from hospital.” Aya then looked at Xeo. “Melissa and Maya were brought in to the hospital on the same day…and operated on,” she said while starting to have mix feelings about Maya and Eve while Xeo thought of a disturbing correlation.
            “On the same day. Maya isn’t alive yet Melissa was…now she’s Eve with the medication and the information we know of her life and how she was fighting to be the actress she wanted to be. What I don’t get is how Maya could have anything to do with…” Xeo said while Aya let out an outburst.
            “No…it can’t be! Xeo it can’t!” Aya said at Xeo.
            “Aya. I don’t know either…it sounds too…well,” he tries to say to make Aya not think about what her dead sister might have been but she couldn’t get the idea out of her head.
            “No…Xeo…” she said while trying to not think about it. “Let just get after Eve…I’ll…I’ll be fine.” After getting on her feet as Xeo did the same they both left the room. Xeo was able to feel the lesser Dark Side energy being strong near the elevator doors.
            “I think we are close to her…down that way. That elevator is locked but not if I can help it,” Xeo said as they both got neat the door to the elevator. With a wave of his hand the lock was released and the door opened up. A pone entering the elevator Xeo was able to spot something that was a sure sign of things to come. “Look, Aya…” he pointed to an empty tube of sperm. It was safe to assume that Eve, with the help of Dreazin, got what they needed.
            “…Eve is going to have her creature…but not before I put her down myself!” Aya said while checking her gun’s clip.
            “I understand what you must be feeling but please, Aya…you can’t let your personal feelings get in the way of such things right now…Eve is close and you can’t let yourself be blinded by your emotions and…” Xeo kept telling her while the door chimed and was opening up. Out of nowhere two red crimson colored claws came at both Aya and Xeo. Aya missed the incoming claws but Xeo was hooked on one by his leather jacket. “And by The Force! Did I just make myself eat my own words!” the Jedi was being held by a massive NMC that looked like a spider with eight legged crimson claws to count and a body that had the texture of a human brain. The head was small but look insect in nature as its mouth had webbing coming out. Although Xeo was a trained Jedi he didn’t count on the fact that his lightsaber was not with him as it was on the ground. “Aya! My lightsaber!” he said while she looked for his weapon. Meanwhile, Xeo kept trying to get his jacket unhooked by the monster as it used him as a rag doll. He Force Pushes the NMC’s claw to loosen the jacket but it only made it more determent to kill Xeo. Aya kept looking on the ground as was able to pick up Xeo’s lightsaber. Rushing over she tried to get the NMC’s attention away from Xeo by shooting at its legs. It turned towards Aya and let out a web shot at her as she tries to get out of the way; however, she didn’t get out in time as her feet were immobilized by it. It slowly came over as Aya kept trying to shoot anywhere that would stun the monster but nothing phased it. Xeo could only tell that it was going to make Aya her next meal if he couldn’t do anything to get loose from the jacket while the zipper didn’t work. “Oh come on! How can a zipper be…” he said to himself while the NMC was right over Aya and was leading his head at her face. Aya looked at Xeo while showing doubt in her eyes and expression as he couldn’t do anything. “Aya…his eyes!” Xeo screamed at Aya while she nodded and took aim; however, it wasn’t so sudden for her to shoot the NMC as Xeo could feel Aya’s body beginning to summon her powers again. “Uh…Aya?” Xeo said while acting cautious to know what Aya was planning to do but he knew already what was going to happen. One of the monster’s legs started to lift up to make the final strike at Aya. “Aya!!!” Xeo yelled out while Aya responded back.

“Get clear if I hit it!” Aya said as the powers from her mitochondria came into a single focal point at her gun and, once again, fired a high yield energy blast. The face of the creature was burnt but not melted at the shot made some of its legs disable. Xeo was nearly in the blast area as it started yelling in pain but quickly got over it. By then Xeo was able to see Aya was dazed out as her powers had a toll on her mind. The Jedi then was able to see her handgun in plain sight. He reached out with The Force to take it away from Aya. Once in his hands, Xeo took aim at the spider looking monster’s head and use all of the ammo in the gun. It was blinded and kept swaying around in hope to take both of them down.

“Out…” Xeo said while he looked at Aya and tried again to use The Force. This time he was able to get his lightsaber into his other hand. As soon as he felt it in his other free hand he ignites his weapon and cuts off the claw that he was stuck on. He was free form the NMC as he rushed over to Aya to free her from the webbing. Carefully using his lightsaber to melt of the webbing goo, Aya was coming around and could feel the will to get back up. “Here…” he said while giving her empty handgun back to Aya. The monster came around while trying to hear their voices. She reloaded her gun while Xeo pointed his weapon towards the NMC waiting for the next attack. From the mouth of the creature the webbing started too retracted as spark of fire started to be visible. “That’s not good…” Xeo said while the NMC’s mouth started to engulf in flames. Aya already knew that it was going to make its attack as she could feel her body suddenly being able to move faster. She ran to one side while Xeo Force Jump away as the monster’s mouth spits out a fireball that was bigger than either of them. They missed it as it made a hole in the roof from the intense heat it discharged. Xeo got on top of the creature’s head as he makes a couple of strikes with his weapon. Aya shot off round after round as another leg from the monster came off and it was unbalance. “Time to end this…” he said as he was thrown off by the NMC uncontrolled walking. Aya shot her last round into the back of the creature as more blood kept spewing out as Xeo was far away from the creature.

“Xeo what are you going!?” Aya said while looking at him from afar.

“Taking him down!” he said while he was lowering his upper body and bending his knees with his lightsaber at his side. Feeling The Force in his feet he was beginning to have the sudden burst of Force Speed. Thinking of how he would take the creature down, he charged the NMC in such a fashion that he was a blur to Aya’s eyesight. The Jedi went to the monster’s left side as Xeo went with the Ataru form as the blade took off its set of legs while it felt to the ground. He then move in a fast motion and cut off the back end of the creature’s body and a few legs from an upper cut strike. Running over to the air conditioning units on top of the roof he runs up, what was only a little surface to run on flips back high enough to get over the front side of the monster. His lightsaber makes a clean cut and put it out of its misery while landing in a pose for a moment until the beast was dead for sure. Aya runs over to Xeo while he gets up and holds his lightsaber above his head with the blade pointing to his left side and then swinging it to his left side while still having it on.

“All I can say is…wow,” Aya said as she can’t believe the powers that Xeo can do or hold back.

“It was becoming too much for me and I felt that it had to end like that. The sear power of that NMC was not something to trifle with,” Xeo said.

“Well…it made short work of that thing, too. Think that I was able to put a dent in it with my powers…” Aya said while another voice spoke just as soon as she finished her sentence.

“As do I agree with you!” said Eve. They both turned to see the crimson flower shape looking being floating at them with a smile on her face. Aya points here gun at her while Xeo just had his lightsaber gripped tightly for anything to happen. “So, you’ve found this place. How nice…”

“You’re going to use the sperm to give birth to the Ultimate Being! Right?” Aya said as Eve laugh at her.

“You’re a bright one!” Eve said. “But so much you can’t understand. Even you…Xeo. To think that you were going to meet up with your brother. He doesn’t have the heart to meet with you…yet,” she said while having a moment of her eyes to widen at them both.

“Dreazin can’t get far…even he help you get the sperm sample,” Xeo said while Eve laughed even more at his comment.

“Oh my…are you so wrong! Your brother was not just only here for that but for certain documents that were important…”

“What?” Aya said as Xeo just kept looking at Eve.

“Oh I can’t explain it all…he said, “In time Xeo…you will learn the true nature of your existence, The Force, and his grand ideal way of life.” and it will happen,” Eve said while Xeo couldn’t do anything.

“You can take me to him…” Xeo said while Eve just gave him a cold stare

“All in due time…he isn’t ready for our…homecoming with you. Like what I am trying to do with the Ultimate Being. The first rebellion took place some years ago on a far off eastern island. There, my sister committed a fatal error. I’m higher in the evolution chain than my sister. I will never commit the same mistake,” Eve said.

“You’re not my…” Aya spoke to Eve while trying not to agree with the documentation that she found on the floor.

“Finally caught on, huh…?”

“NO!” Aya yelled out at Eve. Xeo wasn’t too sure about the facts that Aya knew but he had no choice but to listen in.

“You feeble organism depend on machines to do all the work! Even you Xeo…your so called “elegant weapon” that your brother tells me about is nothing more than a tool like the tool that you are! A slave to the Light Side…not able to become natural in life. You won’t be able to live the way you are for much longer. Dreazin will…he has accepted his life to being like any other life from on this world…and the other Dark Jedi. Sadly I won’t be able to see them all in my grand view to bring the mitochondria to its full potential!” Eve said as Xeo walked in front of Aya.

“I know why you trust Dreazin but don’t…! Even if you are going to bring this world down with your kind Dreazin isn’t the type to just let this happen. You’re being used! Can you see that…” Xeo explained while Eve kept on laughing.

“No no…my misguided midi-chlorian fool. He needs me…and…” Eve said while able to hear the mitochondria in Aya’s body spilling out every bit of detail that they know including the fact of why Dreazin said about his fate being sealed. “…oh…so that’s why he said you’re fate was sealed…”

“What about it Eve? What did Dreazin say about my fate!?” Xeo yelled at her.

“I was wrong then…about you. You have changed…he was right. The mitochondria that I can hear from her body told me about what you have been through with Xeo. Now you are being human after. You're own physiological body is undergoing the same 'change' as she is. You're unlocking the potential of Dreazin's power without even noticing." Xeo stood silently for a moment to ponder. Aya kept looking right at Eve as she kept talking to both Xeo and Aya. "You're midi-chlorains are reacting much like your brother's but at a slower rate...a rate that you won’t be able to live much longer!” Eve said while Xeo kept walking closer to her as she turned away and looked up into the sky. The Jedi then stop to feel the presences of something fast coming towards them. Xeo was able to make out three machine type flying units head close by. Aya then was able to see them from a far distance as an F-15 and two Harriers jet crafts were coming by. While Aya was unable to understand at the moment why jet crafts were even flying below ‘the deck’, Eve was taking hold of her powers and using them to influence the pilots in the jet crafts. They flew over as Xeo was being shown the air superiority of Earth’s technology as it wasn’t a match to what the Jedi knows back in New Republic space.

“Stop!” Aya said as she too could feel the sudden change in her body while Xeo could feel the pilot’s lives be twisted away to Eve’s power. The pilot’s mitochondria started to come out of every orifice and then melt the bodies away. One of the Harriers collided into another as only one of them exploited in the air. Eve turned back to Aya and Xeo while speaking to them.

“You have just witness the limitations of humanity!”

“Please! Just stop!” Aya yelled at Eve while she kept smiling.

“What if I don’t want to? Really…it’s a shame we couldn’t understand each other…like you and Xeo could. Hahaha!” Eve laugh as she started to fly away from the hospital roof.

“The jet!!!” Aya said at Xeo. “It’s going to crash into the roof. We need to get out of here! NOW!”

“I could stop it…” Xeo said while Aya shook her head.

“Even if you could...it would explode. Were in the middle of the city and…” Aya kept talking while Xeo looked around and believed her.
            “Okay! Were out of here!” he said while they make it for the elevator but Xeo stops Aya in her tracks. “No…not enough protection even if we could make all the way down we still have more floors to go down and those NMCs will slow us.”
            “Then what!?” Aya said desperately trying to think of another way. They both looked around fast before Aya spotted a window washer crate. “Over there!” she yelled out as they both ran for the crate. Xeo thought it was not going to hold but could hear the jet coming in even closer.
            “I’m not so sure about this but what the hell!” Xeo said while they both jump into the crate. Soon as they got back up from the steep jump the already doomed Harrier crashes onto the roof of the hospital and exploded. The blast from it was powerful enough to melt the crate’s wires as it dropped them into a free fall. “Shit…” he said while Aya looked around and could only think of the uncertain feeling of death creeping up her spine.
            “Please tell me…you have something in mind to save us!?” Aya yelled while the crate started grinding on the hospital’s wall. Xeo looked at the ground coming closer to them and could only think of one way to save their lives.
            “Aya…grab hold of me!” Xeo said while she puts her Beretta in her jacket’s pocket. Aya got one arm around his underside of one of his own arms while her other arm was around his back, which they were held by her hands.
            “Okay…?” Aya said as the speed was becoming too much for the crate to be stable. Xeo, taking one of his hands, use his Force Push to angle the crate in 45 degrees. From there he held on to the crate’s frame work and waited for the time to be just right to jump away from the crate. “What are you going to…” she said while Xeo spoke to her.
            “Trust me…I’ve done his before!” the Jedi said while he sprang his feet away from the crate towards the wall of the hospital. Soon as his feet touched the wall he sent his body to head first towards the ground. With his other hand he uses his lightsaber’s blade to go into the wall and start to slow them down. It began to work as the crate was able to be seen going faster as they were free falling. Aya was holding on for dear life as couldn’t believe what Xeo was trying to do. “This might get rough!” Xeo warned Aya as they were about 30 feet away from the pavement. At this point Xeo turned off this lightsaber and flipped around to get his body to be upright. Using his Force Powers, the Jedi was summoning all that he could muster in the time they had before landing on the ground. Using his Force Push skill about 5 feet away from the ground he let it flow out of his hand and used it to decelerate them. From the use of his power it did nothing to harm Aya or Xeo, but the sidewalk they were going to land made a huge crater. Xeo then touched down on the ground without breaking any bones and then let Aya off his back.
            “It worked…overkill but it worked.” Aya said while being in the crater of Xeo’s Force Push ability.
