                Passing the unlocked chain gate doorway Xeo and Aya make their way back to the surface. From the steps they went up until they could feel the cold air against their face, they both took a moment to look around for any NMCs that might be lurking nearby. Xeo could tell, from his Force Sight, that nothing was around expect cracks in the pavement from where he made his Force Repulse from below.
            “It’s clear,” Xeo said as Aya looked and nodded. She puts away her Beretta into her leather jacket pocket and takes out the radio that Daniel gave to her. Pressing the button on it she speaks into the microphone receiver to call in Daniel as she kept her guard up.
            “Daniel…this is Aya Brea, come in.” No response. “Daniel. This is Detective Aya Brea! Come in!” she said as the static on her end started to have a recognizable voice coming through the speaker.
            “Good to hear your voice, Aya. Sorry about not calling you back sooner but…” Daniel said while pausing in mid-speech.
            “But what?”
            “You might believe this or not…most of our units were taking on a giant crab that Eve left behind. It was at the bottom of this warehouse and it was big. Most of our guys tried to draw it out into the open but it was smart. Son of a bitch didn’t go down without a fight but we gave it to him…and a lot of bullets too,” Daniel said while trying to catch his breath. “…It’s dead now and melting away like everything else you and Xeo might have seen more of. Speaking if which…how you holding up?”
            “We checked out Chinatown. Thanks to Xeo’s…powers, we were able to find that large mass from Central Park…” Aya said while Daniel felt the urge to ask about his wife but held it back. It was easier for him to express his depression of the lost of his wife without Aya or Xeo to look at him. “…We made it clear out of the sewer system but it took off. I don’t know where at the moment but it couldn’t have gone far. We also ran into a big NMC like the one you took down…its dead.”
            “Good going, Aya. Still…we have no clue to the ware about of Eve and Klamp or Dreazin,” Daniel said as Xeo look at Aya when he said Dreazin over the speaker.
            “I know where he is…where they are now. Including the mass of ooze that got away…I can feel it rushing in the less complex sewer pipe lines in Mid-Town,” Xeo said.
            “What!? It’s in Mid-Town! Where, Xeo,” Daniel said over the radio. Xeo closed his eyes and was able to project his mind into the sky. His Force Sight was covering the city of Manhattan while being able to see it in great detail from an eagle’s eye. Stripping away the material world from his point of view, Xeo was able to sense the aura of the slime coursing its way pass Little Italy, 17^th Precinct, Carnegie Hall, and stopped near the only place left Xeo and Aya had yet to check out.
            “The museum. It’s going to the museum…I bet everyone will be there too,” Xeo said while Aya looked and couldn’t tell if he was right but had to trust him.
            “Shit!” Daniel said over the speaker while looking around to see whatever available unit could make it the museum. “I’m going to get what units I can spare to get going. I won’t be able to help out you two for some time. Get going! Daniel out!” he said as static came back over the speaker. Aya put the radio away while looked at Xeo with a questionable expression.
            “Do you see a problem here?” Aya said while Xeo kept looking towards the direction of the museum. He kept feeling the presences of the ooze making its way towards the building while he was able to feel another entity that Xeo knew too well. Soon has his mind was nearing the museum’s building a powerful force drove his senses back as a voice he has heard from echo within.
            “Don’t let me wait for our reunion…of us, brother. Our family…reunion, for all to know!” said the voice of Dreazin. It quickly went away as Xeo snapped out of it by Aya’s voice.
            “Xeo…” Aya said while he looked at her with his full attention.
            “What problem?” he said while Aya looked around and was annoyed by Xeo’s response. After seeing Aya looking around he does so to and couldn’t find an answer until Aya told him.
            “We need to get to the museum…but we aren’t without a car.” Xeo was able to understand this problem while feeling ignorant about what Aya was telling him about.
            “Right…sorry, Aya,” Xeo said while having a look of dumbfound on his face.
            “So what can we do? We can’t call in any other unit nearby that would get to us sooner that we should and…” Aya kept saying as Xeo began to have an idea of his own.
            “Aya…after what I did against the NMC…I think I answer this problem,” Xeo said as he cut Aya off while she was listening.
            “What do you have in mind?” she asked Xeo while he puts away his lightsaber on his belt hook. While he was overlooking the city with his sight, aided by the power of The Force, he was able to know how to get to the museum without delay. Before he could tell Aya he needed to borrow the radio to call in Daniel.
            “Aya, I need that radio for a second. I have to call Daniel in for a favor. Then I’ll tell you.” She gives him the radio to the Jedi and calls in Daniel. “This is…Detective Xeo. Daniel…come in.” Soon his voice was heard over the speaker again.
            “I read you Xeo but I’m having a hard time getting my units to converge on the site and…” he kept saying as Xeo cuts him off to tell him his favor.
            “I just need what belongs to me…” Xeo said while having a low tone with him.
            “Uh…is that what you wanted? Your stuff!?” Daniel said over the radio.
            “Believe me…” Xeo said as another voice comes over the radio speaker.
            “I can’t believe that crab, Daniel…Eve’s powers have no limit to mitochondrial…” the voice of Maeda said as both Aya and Xeo could hear him.
            “Why is he with you?” Xeo said as Daniel tried to shush him down.
            “He insisted to not be alone…after that night at the hospital.”
            “We’ll head over the museum as fast as you two can. We don’t have the luxury of time!” Xeo said as he gives the radio back to Aya.
            “So now what?” Aya said while still wondering what Xeo is going to do about getting them to the museum in time.
            “Daniel is closer to the place but we have the make up for lost time…I have an idea that can work but…” Xeo said as Aya could only think about what the Jedi had in mind.
            “Is it another moment that you need to use your powers?” Aya said while raising an eyebrow to him.
            “All you have to do is hold on, again…and trust me.” Xeo said. Aya walks over to Xeo and tries to get her arms around him and on to his back but Xeo shook his head. “No…I’ll hold you this time.” As Aya took a step back from Xeo he extends his arms out and kneels down at her. Hinting the fact of what Xeo wants Aya to do she moves to his right arm and begins to rest her legs on his arm. Xeo starts to get up from his kneeling position as his left arm was able to hold Aya’s back in place. All that Aya could do now was get her own arms around his neck and look at him as Xeo looked back at her to take a moment for himself. “Hold on then!” he said while the moment had passed and his eyesight looked towards the Central Park area of Manhattan. Aya didn’t know what was going to happen but she could feel a change in ground where Xeo was standing and soon felt a sudden rush of wind on her body. The power of The Force was being surged to his feet as Xeo was able to take his Force Speed and become a streak of his self. From where they were standing before was only a cloud a dust the next second as Xeo’s feet was going well over the speed limit that Daniel had ever sped before down the city roads. Aya looked around in awe as what Xeo was performing and could feel it being as real as it could be. Buildings only showed there one tone of color without the detail of the doors or windows as Xeo ran pass them with ease. Trees were only a smudge of brown bark with only a hint of white from the snow. Even the cars and lights were just lines that didn’t even have a fine showing of detail by the amount of speed Xeo was going on. Aya just held on tied while keeping an eye out of everything that was passing by. They were rushing past locations of Manhattan, which were Soho, Greenwich Village, Kips Bay, Murray Hill, Hell’s Kitchen, and Central Park Zoo. At times Xeo would Force Jump over buildings to make up lost time without dealing with cutting over to street ways. Aya said nothing throughout the whole experience while just looking around at what Xeo could do to get to the museum. “I think I can see Daniel’s car…” Xeo said as he got over his last Force Jump over a building and landed with a loud thud sound to follow by. Letting Aya go from his arms she was only able to fix her hair while take a step back from Xeo. She wanted to say something to him about how he was able to use his powers in which she never seen him do before but wasn’t able to. Xeo was already heading down to the car that had his old outfit. Maeda came out of the driver seat instead of Daniel while they both look at the Japanese scientist.
            “Maeda!” they both said as he just wave to them and fixed his glasses. He walked over to Xeo and Aya while he explained about Daniel missing in action.
            “Before you say anything…Daniel had to go to the hospital to check something out even after the building nearly toppled over. Maybe to do with the HLA list…or another thing that he didn’t tell me about,” Maeda said as Xeo looked at him and told him about the car.
            “So…this is Daniel’s car?” Maeda nodded as Xeo started to open the trunk to see his outfit still there undisturbed.
            “I’m going to drive back to get him as soon as you got what you need Xeo…what is it?” Maeda said while Xeo pulled out his Corellia outfit. He just looked at him with a serious expression and told him.
            “Dreazin isn’t going anywhere…with Eve inside. Klamp might be here too…if that is the case then…he will want me to be as I was before,” Xeo said as Aya could understand what he was saying.
            “He wants you to be back the way he remembers you…as his brother,” Aya said as the words from her mouth echoed a similar feeling that Maya would remind her of. Maeda nodded and starts to head back into the car.
            “I’ll see you two later…” he said while driving away from the museum. Xeo and Aya looked at the building and could tell it had a stale feeling to it now. Nothing alive or colorful that it once was before that past times they were inside. Xeo knew this feeling as The Dark Side of The Force was all around it and powerful that before. Dreazin and Eve were emitting it in which Xeo would never let it alone from his Jedi Senses. Aya got her Beretta out and check it for a bullet to be in the chamber as she begins to cover Xeo. The Jedi, on the other hand just walked up to the museum’s entrance and Force Pull the door open with his mind alone. Once inside, Xeo was able to feel the presence of Eve’s power even greater that before as Dreazin’s was weaved into its power. Xeo started to use his Force Sight to see about finding Dreazin or Eve but The Dark Side was intense enough to negate his power of seeing.
            “Damn…I won’t be able to see them with Dreazin and Eve being in the same building at this point…his powers is much more than I originally dealt with before,” Xeo said as Aya was only able to trust her own deep Aquamarine eyes as she looked around to see anything out of place. Soon her eyes were able to spot a shape of white near the left side of the room near a set of doors. The door was left open but not wide enough for her to get a positive ID of what it was that Aya saw.
            “Who’s there?!” Aya yelled out as the white ominous shape disappeared into the darkness of the other room. She looked at Xeo as he could tell what the white colored thing was as his senses weren’t dulled out.
            “Klamp!” Xeo said while they both ran after him through the door. Xeo kept holding onto his old outfit with one hand as his other hand gripped his lightsaber. He didn’t sense any NMCs in the area nor did Aya’s power either. They race into a room that had a map of the western lands of the Earth lighting up with red lights in certain areas while showcases of fossils were at each corners of the room. They ran straight ahead into another room that had another fossil display of a dinosaur while some glass display was shattered on the floor. As soon as they took a right and head into another room of more showcases of fossils and rare rocks the lab coat and body of Klamp was just seen in a brief moment.
            “Hey!” Aya said while trying to run after him before the door was shut in front of her; however, Xeo was right behind her as soon as he felt another disturbance in The Force.
            “Were not alone…” Xeo said as he drops his Corellia outfit and ignites his lightsaber as Aya took aim at whatever was coming to them. They weren’t sure about what NMCs could be lying in wait for them but it was only soon that a sound was made that felt unheard of...in Aya’s lifetime at least. A cackle cracked in the air and echoed all around as two human side height monsters came out of the darkness from the room and show themselves to Xeo and Aya. Aya was shock at what she was seeing but Xeo didn’t feel moved at all from what life forms he encountered before on other world that had beasts roaming wild. “What’s the matter Aya? Never had large lizards like this on your world?” the Jedi said as Aya couldn’t even arguing or giving Xeo a history lesson about what they were looking at.
            “Those lizards creatures were extinct 65 million years ago! Dinosaurs!” Aya yelled out at Xeo while he just nodded and went with what she said.
            “Too bad…that long time of being dead they have to experience that feeling again!” he said while taking his lightsaber pointing towards the Velociraptors as they were snarling. They had some grey and dark green flesh as the mitochondria was reanimating there nucleic DNA muscle fibers. They began to rush them both as Aya was shooting one of them at the legs to disable its running speed. Xeo Force Pushed the NMC into the wall but it was able to jump off it while flipping in mid-air and back on its feet. “Okay…” he said while it just looked at him. Aya kept running and dodge her dino friend until her last shot in her clip too it down. The NMC fell over head over its feet and bled out as Xeo rushed after his target with Ataru. The raptor jumped high and put out his retractable claw to cut him. As he could see its leg trying to get the claw out to his face Xeo returned the favor and put out his leg. He nudged the raptor’s leg and was able to slice the lower half of the NMC dino as he landed. The dead body of the NMC crashed into a showcase as it twitched. Aya, seeing that the coast is clear, ran over to the door again to see if she could open it but it was locked.
            “Locked…let me work my magic…” Xeo said as Aya knew what that meant. He starts to unlock it with The Force but soon was able to feel The Dark Side taking over his hand and wasn’t able to open the door. Waving his hand in pain he could tell who was making this possible. “Damn it, Dreazin!” he said as he kept trying to unlock it but the more he tried the more his hands felt a burning sensation form within and then his arms. Xeo stopped trying to open the door without The Force as if it kept hurting him the more he tried. “I can’t do it, Aya. Dreazin…his power…it’s much like Eve’s. He must have found a way to make me unable to use my powers. I think he is protecting Klamp…for Eve’s sake. I won’t be able to unlock it…nor even try out my lightsaber to open it…not without Dreazin’s powers to stop me.”
            “When why doesn’t he just…well…stop you right now?” Aya said as Xeo ponders for a moment.
            “He wouldn’t…he wants me alive. He wants us to go where my brother sees fit,” Xeo said as he started to walk out of the room while Aya followed. Getting his outfit off the floor and backtracking the way they came in they headed back to the main entrance room. Aya went over the security desk to unlock the gate that was blocking the stirs to the higher floors but nothing happened.
            “Damn…it doesn’t work…why?” Aya asked while Xeo tried to use his Force Sight sight to feel the power flow of the locking mechanism throughout the building. He could see the line of power ending up on the other side of the museum and on a higher floor. It was an alarm system that would not let them use any electronic panels or buttons until they disable it first.
            “Bad news…a lock down has been put in place. There is a room that has the nerve center of the whole alarm system that can be lifted…if we can get to it.”
            “Well…you can make it?” Aya said while she knew how powerful Xeo can be to make sure work of any obstacles that can get in his way.
            “I won’t be able to move around like I just did before outside. Dreazin’s hold on The Dark Side is so strong this time around that even the rooms in this place I could walk into would set my body into a world of hurt and…death. But that is only to just test me…he is testing me after all,” Xeo said while he gets behind the desk for a moment. “Aya…could you stand over there for a brief moment.” Aya nodded and walks away while looking at Xeo. Knowing that she already has seen his body before without an upper garment before, Xeo takes off the leather jacket he had on and his black long sleeve. He then grabs his old outfit and puts it back on and felt the same again and yet not. “Now I am ready to meet Dreazin…by the way Aya its okay too…” he said as he turned around to see Aya still looking at him. He stops speaking and could tell that she was watching him while his back was turned again but didn’t care. Leaving the Earth clothing behind and getting his boots to show again like before they start making their way up another hallway to the north of the building. They came across a display of vegetation that was fake by taking a closer look at it. Passing by that they went down at the end of the room and took a left down another corridor with signs of dinosaur and pictures of what they looked like while being alive 65 million years ago. At the end of the corridor Aya made a turn and was in a room of ancient rocks on either side of the walls while looking into the eyes…and tail of an oversized insect. Xeo turns to see the large NMC scorpion as Aya took aim while readying his lightsaber at it. The color of its exoskeleton was fleshy but rotten grey tone of color as its tail’s tip had a red crimson gradient. The NMC monster wouldn’t let them pass as Aya believe it so.
            “…Somebody doesn’t want me to get though this area…” Aya said while not giving it a chance to attack her. She shot it a couple of times to make it heisted to move towards her. It tried to use its tail to attack her by whipping it at her body. As it move in her direction Xeo got in front of it and sliced it off with a 180 degree swing from his lightsaber. The blur of his weapon made the scorpion move back while feeling the pain of lost from its tail. Xeo then using his Force Levitation to hold up the stinger part of the tail as Aya kept shooting it until both of its claws came flying off. In the end of the battle Xeo through the stringer into the head of the NMC and let it pierce into its brain. As it yell out of suffering and anguish Aya just too a few steps forwards and finished it off as it stopped moving. “Eve…and her minions. She just has no ends to this kind of power.”
            “…Now you see what I have to deal with Dreazin…we must end this,” Xeo said while Aya looked at him and nodded. They both moved on into the next room that had a boat of some sort and an idol statue off in the corner. Taking a right to the north end of the room they went came across a hallway with a flight of stairs to their right side and figures of ancient Earth times to their left. While being in the hallway room they were encountered by two more raptors as Xeo started to feel like they were stalling them. “I got them…” Xeo said as he simply Force Saber Throw his lightsaber and lops off both their necks as they were jumping into the air to pounce on them. Aya didn’t even spoke to him as they kept moving on down the hallway to another room. They were surrounded by rock heads from different cultures that were all but grey color tones.
            “I don’t see a door anywhere…” Aya said as soon as looked up onto the next floor above them. She could see a cyan color light exposing a door under it. “But I do see a door we could try by getting up there…” Aya told Xeo as he could see it too. He would be able to Force Jump into the area but wasn’t able to by a sudden rubble of mass followed by the falling of rocks above them. Aya dived out of the way off the rocks as Xeo put his lightsaber away as fast as he could and just watched the rocks come at his body. She gets back up, to her surprise, to see Xeo using Force Telekinesis holding up the massive rock faces from the floor above with power alone. He didn’t use his hands to show that he was using his power as his power of The Force was apparent to Aya; however, it didn’t last long. Above the floor came down three raptors that wanted a piece of Xeo as Aya just stood from where she was and kept taking shots at the NMCs. Two of them started to go after Aya as the last raptor of the pack tried to bite Xeo in the back. The Jedi let one of the rocks fall on the raptor as it made the other two stop in the mad dash towards Aya. They turned to see one of their own had fallen. Because of this there guard was down as Aya took two careful shots and headshot both of them. After Aya reloaded her Beretta and walked over to Xeo he started to set the rocks down away from her and himself. Xeo looks up and could tell that it was a simple task that he could do with Aya on his back.
            “Care for a lift?” Xeo said as Aya knew what that meant. She got on Xeo’s back as he was able to Force Jump with ease onto the floor above them. Once on that floor they were able to see the scratch marks of the rocks the raptors moved including their own claws digging into the metal floor. Aya got off Xeo’s back as they make their way to the door that Aya pointed out before hand. They open the door and could feel the coldness from the outside while staring into the city again. “Well that was for nothing?” Xeo said sarcastically as Aya tapped his shoulder. He looked at her and was able to spot out a ladder going up the building. After having a moment of feeling lost and confused they both go up the ladder to the door above them. At this time they were on the 3^rd floor as they enter into the new room. The room had pictures and depictions of the human anatomy as they looked around; however, they weren’t the only ones looking at what the raptors could consider there “breakfast”. Three more dino NMCs were in the room with them as Aya begin discharging her shots at one of them as Xeo twirled his lightsaber to confuse the raptors. One of them was dazed by the lightsaber blur as Xeo turned his back and thrust his lightsaber upwards into the dino’s jaw line while the other raptor was moving in for the kill. Aya moved her sight away from her nearly killed NMC and pointed it towards the untouched raptor near Xeo. She was able to blow off its leg as it was still trying to claw and bite at Xeo’s body but the Jedi knew too well at its intentions. By getting his lightsaber back in front of him he flicked his wrist and took off the dino’s head and send its body into the almost dead dino from Aya’s bullets, which he Force Push it. The body slammed into another display case of fossils as the glass finished off the last of the raptors in the room from lacerations in its body. After checking out the room for anything else that wasn’t normal looking they went south of the room into another hallway. The hallway they were in had an exhibit of human evolution that didn’t even bothered Xeo for a moment while he kept moving. Aya thought he would of taken a look about Earth history and how the humans of this world came to be but he knew that time was against them; however, Xeo was just letting his guard down.
            “Behind you!” Aya said as another raptor came from behind one of the human statues and got on his back. It tried to bite him but he kept trying to Force Push the NMC off but was only delaying the creature’s time to have its meal. Aya stood there and took aim at the dinosaur as she let off one round that severed its spinal column, which then Xeo threw off his back and stabbed it in its chest. “You okay?” Aya said while rushing to his side.
            “I’m fine…just…not being able to sense well. It’s my fault…” he said while guilty about not able to protect himself and made Aya worried about him. She walked ahead and took point while Xeo followed her out of the room. They came into another room that had a flight of stairs going down while seeing a DNA model, human cell model, and more pictures of the human genome code mapping. From there they went left into a room that was darken and only lit by the display model of the very thing they were fighting against: the mitochondria. Even the detail showcasing was making Xeo wonder to see it on this model scale but it was only short lived. An echo of a loud window being smashed was heard followed by a high pitch scream of a bird sound. Aya and Xeo turn to look at each other while seeing what could have done that. It thing that made the sound came flying over the bacolny of the floor they were on. Aya knew what it was as Xeo had no idea what kind of a beast this was. It was green and had the wings of a bat but the head was visible with the back of its skull being long and sharp to the tip.
            “Pterodactyls!” Aya yelled out while getting her handgun up towards the flying dino as Xeo just looked at her.
            “Another dead dino…whatever you call it!?” he said while Aya took a shot at the NMC dino. It flies around while feeling the impact of the bullet in its thin membrane wings. It tried to take a bite at Aya but Xeo Force Push it away into the open section of the museum and it started to fly back at them with great speed. “Damn…okay I’ll do this!” Xeo said as he used his Force Levitation on the Pterodactyl itself as it was powerless do to anything. Aya didn’t take a chance for Xeo do to anything and acted on instinct to put one through its head. The flyer dive bombs down into the ground of the 1^st floor as Aya sighs at the close encounter of the dino NMC. After leaving the room they enter another long hallway that was only had one wall to their left while having an open view to their right. Once again the sounds of high pitch Pterodactyls were echoing all around them. Aya started taking her shots at a close by dino until it couldn’t control its damaged wings and crashed into the wall near her. Xeo saw one of them flying into his direction but he just stood still and waited for it to come by. Aya looked at him and thought he didn’t see it coming but he did as he jumped into the air with grace. His body flipped over the bird while he was upside down and over the Pterodactyl’s body. The lightsaber cut into one of its wings as it’s screamed out in pain. He landed back on the ground with ease as the flyer’s body rushed over to Aya’s and she blasted its brains out. One more was still coming after them but Xeo just looked at it and could feel The Force within his free hand. He was able to Force Levitate the NMC and holds it against its will to move but Aya didn’t kill it. Xeo was able to Force Saber Throw with this other hand, which had his lightsaber, and impales the creature in its chest. With a flick of his hand and letting go of the Pterodactyl he was able to slice in two while his lightsaber twirled away from it and back into his hand. They kept moving down the hallway and as they enter another room that had a full skeleton of a Brachiosaurus but had no run-ins with any NMCs. They moved down to the end of the room and enter a hallway that had a flight of stairs to the right and left of them; however, the gate that they couldn’t open was also on their left side. Taking a left and heading pass a pair of doors they enter and it shuts behind them. Aya goes to the door to notice that the door didn’t budge and heard the lock on it being sounded.
            “Hey! Xeo…someone locked us in!” Aya said while Xeo tried his powers and yet again could feel Dreazin’s Dark Side influence over the door.
            “Again…I can’t do anything…he’s trying to move us like we were playthings to him.” Putting his hand down and contenting the pain within it they looked around to see that the glass window was shattered at the bottom.
            “We could get through here…” Aya said as Xeo looked around and gave it some thought. He nodded while looking at Aya.
            “Okay but hold on…” Xeo said as he raised his hand and Force Pushes the broken glass into pieces while it showers down onto the floor. The sound bounced off the walls of the museum to give an eerie effect of how long the drop is as Aya looked over the fame of the window.
            “If we slip…were goners,” Aya said while Xeo got out and looked down.
            “Not for me…but if you do. I can get you in time…however…” Xeo said while standing at the edge of the window frame with Aya seeing the Jedi looking to the floor above. From his eyesight he was able to see the floor that had the alarm system but wasn’t too sure about Dreazin’s power being able to sever his Force Jump. “Sorry Aya…I thought I could get over but that’s what he would expect of me.”
            “Okay then down we go?” Aya said while pointing to the broken glass below of where the first Pterodactyl came out to attack them. Xeo nodded as they make their way to the corner of the wall while trying not to slip and fall. Soon Aya took a chance to go down on the ledge and held her hands while her gun was in her pocket. Letting go of the ledge and ending up on the 2^nd floor now she got her footing back and tried not to lose her balance as Xeo followed her down. They both moved towards the room they were heading for and got in without a scratch. Once inside they were met with another Pterodactyl that was just beginning to take shape from the mitochondria’s reanimation. Aya was the only one to get a clear shot of it and took aim. It screamed at Xeo while he didn’t notice that an NMC was in the room as Aya started firing at it. Only a few shots and it went down without a fight but its body near collided into her but she was able to use her Haste power to get out of the way. As soon as Xeo was inside he was able to tell that her powers were become stronger as time went on but also felt something within her was yet to be known to her…or him. Xeo kept this in mind as they moved out of that room towards their right and into a poorly dimmed open room with the same flight of stairs with the gate they can’t open but soon Aya could tell where they are. “This is…Klamp’s office…” Aya told Xeo as they walkover but the more Xeo came closer to the door he could feel his body not able to get near it.
            “Aya…now my body feels like its slowing down. Another power done by Dreazin…if that’s unlock then I can’t get near it. Go and check.” Aya looked at Xeo nodded as she turn back to head for Klamp’s door. It didn’t move.
            “Locked…” She said while going back to Xeo. They looked and could only take the route north of the room they were in down another hallway. The hallway they were in this time had more displays of rocks and old tools from the older days of mankind but had a tent off in the distance. They kept moving pass everything into another hallway that was like the one which they fought against the three flying NMC dinosaurs but this time they had raptors on the floor. Aya was able to take one down with ease as Xeo could see four more ahead of their current location. He rushed them while drawing there attention away from Aya as she kept shooting at another raptor while disabling its tail in the possess. The Jedi, using The Force in his feet, was able to run up the wall and barrel rolls off of it as one raptor tries to jump and bite him. He gave it a clean slice on top if its head with his lightsaber as the next raptor felt its weapon going into the back of its neck. As soon as Xeo lands on his feet the last raptor snarled over his head and tried to eat him; however, it only ate lead as Aya shot two rounds into its mouth. Xeo turn towards Aya as he stands up and nodded to her for a good shot. Reloading her gun they move down the hallway and ending up in a section of the museum that Xeo was finally about to tell where they were.
            “The nerve center of the alarm system…there is it!” Xeo said. They both move towards the door that led them into the security room of the whole building. Once they went down the corridor that lead them to the security room only Aya took the time to look around.
            “Let’s see…where’s the alarm system?” she said as they both looked anything that could be the alarm system. Soon Aya was able to find it on her own and flipped the switch on the control panel. The room not only had the alarm system but camera throughout the whole building.
            “Camera…let’s see if we can find anyone that is important to us,” Xeo said while they both look at the monitors. Most of the building was crawling with long dead NMCs of the old times of Earth as other rooms were empty. It didn’t take long for Aya to see something new and yet…familiar.
            “Eve!” she said as Xeo look at the screen that she was seeing. They were both looking at Eve who was not herself anymore but gone through a change in her body. Her hair had change to be longer and curved at its ends. Her face started to show markings that had no relevance to rank or meaning. Her arms had a new pair that was holding the unborn Ultimate Being inside her womb. Her old arms had change to give her more humanlike look to them but still had red talon like claws. She had lost the crimson flower look that Aya and Xeo knew so well and had her legs exposed in their place. The only thing that was not human at all was the two long body tubes at her side and the red veins of muscles beneath her unborn. While they were trying to take in the detail of what they were seeing Xeo was able to get a glimpse of someone just out of frame below Eve.
            “Dreazin…” he said as for some strange coincident he looked into the camera and without exposing his face. The screen turned off as Aya and Xeo just looked at each other. They knew they were running out of time and started head out the room and back towards Klamp’s room. As they were moving to the open section of the room that lead them to the security room they stopped and could hear a sloshing noise echoing throughout the museum’s walls. While Aya was ahead of Xeo, they both walked over to the balcony area to look down at the source of the noise. The small, but not large, mass of the slime they encountered in the sewer system was visible to them. It slithered on the floor towards another showcase display of a dead dinosaur. It started to move around it and began to coat all around its bones and soon it started to move on its own. It made a loud roar that even shook the rest of the glass windows while the orange slime went away and became rotten muscle fibers for the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Aya just looked at it while speaking to Xeo.
            “…I…I can’t believe it! The dinosaurs that were long dead…the mitochondria reanimate them back to life. That’s how she controls those things!” Aya said while Xeo looked at her with his thoughts on the situation.
            “It’s best if we don’t deal with it right now…it might die if we can take out Eve. For now…let’s leave it alone…” Xeo said while Aya agrees with him and start backtracking their way to Klamp’s room. After some long running and trekking through the museum without the T-Rex noticing there movement they were able to get to Klamp’s office without harm done to them. The door, this time, was opened on its own.
            “There’s someone in there?” Aya said while Xeo tried to use his Force Sight but wasn’t able to tell who it was.
            “Could be Klamp…be ready for him.” They both get near the door as Xeo got his hand on the door knob, without the feeling of pain within his body this time, as he pull the door open for Aya to move in. Aya’s Beretta drawn out and rushed in while she takes aim at the only person that was in the room.
            “Professor Klamp! Don’t move!! Put your hands in the air where…I can…” Aya order the man in the room that could be Klamp but she was able to tell from the get up that it wasn’t him. “…Maeda!?” she said as Xeo walks in after her voice tone change to questionable.
            “You?” Xeo said as Maeda kept his hands up still.
            “Hi Aya…Xeo. Could I put my hands down? I was just here to test something…” Maeda said while Aya put her gun at her side as Xeo did the same for his lightsaber.
            “How…did you get up here without a scratch?” Xeo said to Maeda.
            “I was hearing all the fighting nearby on the other side of the museam that I thought you two would be able to draw them away from me for my…tests,” he said while fixing his glasses.
            “Guess you needed this lab equipment more than ever for you to go to this place with all these NMCs running around for a midnight snack?” Xeo said while Aya looks at him and then back at Maeda as he kept talking.
            “Well…I thought it would be plausible to take a chance. As you two always have been so far.”
            “Did you come back alone?” Aya said while noticing that Daniel wasn’t around him or yelling at him.
            “He is…but double checking his info with Warner and Nix back at the prescient and told me to go…and scream if I needed help!” he said while Xeo and Aya just looked at each other as they could tell Daniel was messing with him.
            “Is he in the car that you drove?” Aya ask him. He nodded to agree with her.
            “Anyways. There haven’t been any combustions recently or the feeling of being hot. So I…well took the chance.”
            “Good way to get yourself killed,” Aya said to Maeda as he brushed the back of his hair for being selfless and not careful of his own wellbeing. He then remembered why he came here not to just test theories out but to also give Aya something.
            “That reminds me, Aya. I asked Wayne to make this back at the station. Take it,” Maeda said while pulling out a custom made Beretta that had different mechanical parts in place.
            “A new kind of gun from him?” Aya said as she checked out the modifications to the gun. It looked like her sidearm from the outside but the inside felt different but she couldn’t be sure unless she took it apart.
            “I believe this will have some effect against Eve and the creatures she controls…but…for some reason it doesn’t work with standard bullets you have. It was made for a purpose that he told me later on why with…my help.”
            “What kind of help?” Xeo said to Maeda as he looks at the Jedi.
            “He didn’t say...just a look of making stuff up from the guns and ammo around the police station that he thought it would be helpful.”
            “Guess I’ll have to wait for this thing to come in handy,” Aya said as she puts the gun behind her back and into her jeans. “So what were you trying to test out?”
            “Oh yes…” Maeda said to Aya while being the scientist that he is. “I came across some findings…yes. First of all, there was a blood serum with Maya’s name labeled on it in the freezer.” Maeda points to the freezer in the room as Aya could tell.
            “…My sister’s name…and?” Aya said while waiting for him to continue talking. Xeo walks over to the side of the room away from the lab equipment and puts his back against he walls while crossing his legs and arms.
            “Well…the research code for it was called EVE…” Maeda said while Aya’s mind started to race with emotions and answers to questions that didn’t wanted to be answer but to be denied; however the truth was heard.
            “EVE!? The code name…then Eve really is…” Aya said as Maeda kept talking.
            “It appears to have been made up of liver cells. He was culturing them in the past…Klamp was for a long time…I don’t know what for because there isn’t any data left,” Maeda said as Aya keeps on listening. “Recently it appears he was conducting research on artificial sperm…for Eve, of course. He wanted to exclude the mitochondria from the sperm and create new sperm. Sperm with no parasite and only the nucleus…he was able to do this…take the sperm he made and move it to the hospital. There, he would artificially inseminate those who would volunteer for the experiment.”
            “But still…” Aya said while could feel like her only sister was to be blamed for all of this and felt like she was a part of her was to blame too.
            “Aya…I hate to be the one to even think of what Maeda is saying but…it is the truth,” Xeo spoke as he walked over to Aya’s side.
            “No…Xeo you couldn’t think that…” Aya said trying not to believe the truth but at this point she only had to listen and take in all the info that she could bare.
            “I didn’t understand it at first either…but when I was looking at your sample under the microscope on that day. I could hear her voice. She talked about protecting but it didn’t make sense after we met up with Eve on the roof of the hospital. I felt Maya’s…presences being within her body and it became clear to me how Melissa is now Eve. Maya’s mitochondria within her body were just as strong as Eve’s at that point but wasn’t awakened yet. After her death…it musts of laid dormant until Melissa’s body was able to become what she is now even after the medication failed. She is the one that was making this all possible…her evolution brought a whole city to a standstill in the body of someone else. Even after death her powers are being used to bring back a race that was alive long before humans were on this planet,” Xeo spoke to Aya as she could begin to believe the fact that her sister, Maya is the reason why Eve is able to do what she can do through her evolutionary changes. Aya didn’t know what to think of how this had anything to do with her and her own powers unless they were both gifted by a change in evolution. Xeo knew it wouldn’t be possible for Maya’s voice was heard within Aya’s sample and out not make sense. Aya could only look at Maeda for a moment and then looked at Xeo while trying not to break down in front of him.
            “Then what am I?” Aya said. Maeda could only scratch his head but then stopped as his eyes widen to the door of the room. Xeo took his eyes off Aya as Maeda felt surprised about who just came into the room. Aya and Xeo turned around to see a man in a white lab coat look at all three of them with his expression of hubris among him.
            “An organism that will surly die!” Klamp said as he walked into the room without a reason to gloat.
            “Klamp!?” Aya said while drawing her weapon at his head.
            “You ordinary beings will never, NEVER comprehend MY level of research…well…maybe Xeo but,” he said while Xeo have a look of curiosity on his face.
            “Professor, I’m placing you under arrest as the ring leader of this operation,” Aya yelled at him while feeling an emotion of realization and sense of duty backing her dissection to arrest Klamp. “What you did! This isn’t something you can get away with, do you understand!?”
            “It’s over professor…” Xeo said as he looks at everyone in the room and laughed hysterically for the moment as he spoke to them all.
            “You are pathetic, Brea!” Klamp said as he made quick movements with his arms to further show his power and class to them. “Why put yourself in the human domain by reciting meaningless laws. They’re meaningless, do you understand!?” Klamp walks closer to Aya as she took a step back while her gun was drawn. Maeda was not able to move from what could be a terrible standoff as Xeo didn’t feel the tendency to use his powers on him for any information he might be able to give to him. He kept laugh while he assumes the direst of secrets to be exposed to Maeda and Xeo about Aya, which Xeo knew at least. “I guess you haven’t told your little friends, yet. Your…mitochondria…has special power, doesn’t it Aya?” Maeda wasn’t too bright on the conversation but was able to figure why Aya wasn’t being different and being distance towards everyone that night they were in the slums of the apartment building. Xeo already knew about her power so he was only looking for sudden changes within Klamp’s mind. Aya didn’t resist the words coming out of Klamp’s mouth as she lowers her gun to hear more from him. Klamp kept laughing at her current state that she hasn’t been able to become something like Eve…or more. “But sadly…you still have the form of a human being, don’t you?”
            “You can say all you want, but I’m just here to arrest you, Klamp…” Aya said while not caring about the vital truth about her mitochondria and powers.
            “…I’m not let you or that…Jedi to interfere with Eve, you hear!?” he screams at Aya and Xeo as the Jedi himself wanted to let Klamp know his place in this conversation but he couldn’t do anything that would hurt him.
            “Aya! Look out!” said a loud and thick voice from the distance and Klamp was moving on to Aya with a weapon in his hands. Soon Klamp fell to the ground after a punch by Daniel that knocked him out cold for the time being. Everyone turn to see Daniel standing there with a bit of a smile on his face.
            “Daniel…thanks…I…I didn’t even see the scalpel,” Aya said while Maeda just looks at Klamp and sticks his tongue out at him for going down like a punk.
            “Just in time,” Daniel said to Aya as Xeo look at him and nodded for the good punch he threw at him. “Why didn’t you shoot!? You could’ve been killed!”
            “I know…” Aya said to Daniel as she turns to face Xeo to; however, Klamp started to make sounds after the punch from Daniel. He started to get back up while no one did anything to him but Xeo pushed him into the chair.
            “…Dollis to the rescue, eh…?” Klamp said while still feeling the urge to gloat back at him even after what he took from Daniel’s punch. “Why didn’t you shoot me?”
            “What?” Daniel said as Xeo could feel the emotion of anger and hate coming back into him again.
            “I know you hate me…” Klamp said while smiling back at him. “Why don’t you give in…just let it go, Daniel. After all…you are more human that Aya and Xeo could ever be.”
            “Of course I hate you!” Daniel yelled at Klamp’s face while Xeo knew right away that Klamp’s mind wasn’t his own. He could feel it being influencing by an outside source and could only tell that it was The Dark Side tainting his mind. Klamp wouldn’t of care to even speak to anyone like that unless he wants that person, like Daniel, to give into his anger. He knew only than it would make him less of a man that he already was. “Because of you, Lorraine’s…”
            “Lorraine…? So I see that your boy managed to escape…” Klamp said while trying to force Daniel into letting go of his rage.
            “You!!! I should’ve killed you way back!” Daniel screamed out while Xeo had no choice but to intervene.
            “Daniel! Stop this! Don’t let him get to you about your wife! It doesn’t have to end like this!” Xeo said to him as Klamp laughed.
            “I…I won’t become someone of his caliber…it’s just not in my blood,” Daniel said while trying to remember Xeo’s speech about his wife and The Dark Side. Klamp just looked at Xeo and slimed with an evil grin.
            “Oh…you poor Jedi. Trying to save this man’s life from the power that he won’t be able to feel nor be influence with a mind as weak as yours! I can tell…” Xeo just looked at him without even snapping back at him about what he was talking about. It almost felt, to Xeo, that he knows about how a Jedi lives and their ways of being selfless. Aya then turns toward Klamp and asked him a question.
            “What are you planning to do, Professor?”
            “All of you underestimate the power of the Ultimate Being, which I help being brought into this world when it is too late. I’m waiting here for its birth. As you can believe, Maeda…” he said while looking at him for a moment and turning back to everyone in the room. “The mitochondria is passed on from the mother, but you see traces from the father can also be found in minute quantities. According to Eve and data that I got from Japan, her sister was unable to attain her ultimate goal because the father’s side of the mitochondria cause a rebellion. For Eve to succeed this time, I created sperm without the male mitochondria DNA. The creation was a success and as of now Eve is now pregnant with the help of Melissa’s womb and body,” Klamp spoke.
            “How can that be possible?” Maeda said off in the corner as Xeo looked at him.
            “Aya and I saw her in through a monitor.”
            “Damn!” Daniel said while looking at Aya as she turns towards him. “Aya, we gotta kill Eve!” Klamp laugh after their bold plan to stop Eve at this moment.
            “You humans are so weak…so stupid. You may have been able to barge in here and do thing your way until now. Things are going to change, I won’t let you interfere with Eve anymore,” he said as he got up from his chair and look at Aya…and then at Xeo. “Oh wait…I can’t simply say all humans are weak in this room. Not you Xeo. I know what you are and what you don’t know for yourself…you Jedi.”
            “Its time Klamp…I need to know why you call me Jedi. How did you know about making Daniel’s anger and turn it against him?” Xeo said while Daniel nodded at the Jedi.
            “Well…Xeo. You and Aya are not…that much different by my research…and what I know now of mitochondria and…midi-chlorains,” Maeda and Aya were stunned to know about what Xeo has within his body that made him not so human to everyone else on Earth but as they kept thinking of how much Klamp knows he kept talking. “Oh yes…Jedi. I know about your midi-chlorains and how they are just like mitochondria. It eludes me how someone from…another world, star system, or even…an another galaxy was able to live like this.”
            “What are you saying? Who the hell are you!?” Xeo said while everyone took a step back as they knew well of Xeo’s powers.
            “I am from Earth like everyone else but you…and another like your kind before. He promised me absolute power after the birth of the Ultimate Being. He was even going to make me his next of disciples to the new order he will start…tonight! Your…brother…” Klamp smiled as Xeo was unaware about The Dark Side’s taint being so strong in Klamp that Dreazin already corrupted him.
            “You…met Dreazin?” Xeo said
            “Yes…he told me everything about you and…The Force and midi-chlorians. I was envy at the powers of what he had to show. Mitochondria have its limits in power but for midi-chlorains…is unlimited power! The war between The Light Side…and The Dark Side. I do applaud your chances of being on The Light but he and Eve already told me about how you are now…he can tell that you’re not the Jedi that you are anymore.”
            “What does he know? What has he explained to you about us and our pass…well?” Xeo said as Klamp sat back down while Aya and Daniel were looking out for anything that was up his sleeve.
            “If you must know…fine. What Dreazin intends to make on this night is the rebirth of his Empire in an image what would make The New Republic have a force they could never beat. You see what Eve can do to just mere hundreds of wasteful host of the mitochondria. Dreazin on the other hand can learn from Eve’s power and bring that power to an entire planet in the current state he is in. His cells and his knowledge of The Dark Side would bring an end to all his enemies that are weak and pitiful…like everyone in this room.” Daniel felt the urge to punch him again but Xeo threw up his hand to make him stop. “Just think, Xeo…all the lives that could have been saved by a power greater than any Jedi has ever could learn and control. That Jedi would end wars…and start new ones just to clean out all that is weak until only the strong live. Of course that is me speaking on Dreazin’s behave of being a Dark Jedi. Like Aya over there…you have something within your body that is of an evolutionary step towards a new breed of midi-chlorain beings. If I could say…a Neo-Jedi for you Xeo and Dreazin…the first of your kind! I know this well…from Dreazin of course…and somewhere else.”
            “Who?” Xeo said while feeling a sudden change within his mind about Klamp’s quest for power being just much as a Dark Jedi would be.
            “Not who, Jedi…what. Can you guess what it is?” Xeo gave him a blank stare as Klamp smiled back at him and laughed. Aya was looking at Xeo’s reactions and started to feel like the situation with herself was being repeated but with Xeo’s emotions being played with. She could tell that he wanted to know the truth as much as Aya wanted to before about herself and her powers. When that happen Aya nearly made it into an obsession to know the truth and Xeo was calm about it; however, it felt like the tables were turned on her as Xeo became unsure about himself…let alone which side he was on.
            “What?” Xeo said
            “It’s a document your brother has been keeping for himself for the longest of times. He never goes without it but this time he lone it to me for it will not matter anymore. Dreazin wants you to have it…and will make this the mark of your true fall as a Jedi and arise as what you should have been to him as Eve kept saying about. Although I won’t be able to enjoy this as much as he wants to right now but this is just a taste of what are things to come. Once the Ultimate Being is born…nothing will be able to stop it and Dreazin will rule this galaxy before turning his eye towards the doomed New Republic,” Klamp said as he points to the document on his desk in an attempt to get Xeo to read it.
            “If you know how much I have fallen…then tell me, Klamp!” Xeo said forcefully as Aya could tell he wasn’t being able to control his emotions.
            “Oh…oh I could but that would ruin the moment. Dreazin wishes this as everything will become clear. He already knows that you will turn or have and you don’t know it. Believe me…Daniel or even Aya can’t stop you at this rate if you turned against them; however, its only a few less pawns to deal with as he just wants…you,” he said as he looks at Aya then looks back at Xeo’s face. “Although I am not liberty to say much but if you do turn…don’t take Aya’s life away…not yet.”
            “Why!? Klamp!? What is it that you’re keeping from me!?” Xeo said while he tries to hold back any kind of emotion that would make him look guilty in front of everyone but Klamp already made him exposed his frustration towards him.
            “Dreazin…go ask him after you read this. Now I will join up in the ranks of Eve and become an evolutionary change myself! As this planet will be mine to rule in the image of a Neo-Mitochondria being!” Klamp said as he got up from his chair and raise his hands to the ceiling. Aya and Daniel just got their guns ready at Klamp for anything as Xeo didn’t move a muscle. “Eve, can you hear me? You don’t have to wait any more…I’m ready!”
            “What the hell are you talkin’ about?” Daniel said while his revolver was his Klamp’s temple. Soon Aya felt a sudden rush of heat from her body as Xeo could feel The Force being influenced by The Dark Side. He took a step back as Aya yelled out loud.
            “Daniel, Maeda!! Run!!” In that moment the room started to flare up as a powerful energy explode from Klamp’s body. Not taking any chances, Xeo Force Pushes both Daniel and Maeda out of Klamp’s window for safety as the power of Eve started to invade the room. It only infected Klamp as his body started to combust into flames. Soon his body fell to the ground only able to watch in horror at the results of his longing for power ultimately destroying is very body. Aya and Xeo kneeled down to her the professor’s dying words as he looked at them both.
            “…So I see…Your mitochondrial power doesn’t allow you to burn…as your midi-chlorains negate her power from an evolutionary stand point,” said Klamp as his body started to disintegrate slowly. “Why…Why stay here and try to save me…I know what is at the end. There is no reason for me to fight it or come out with a sign of redemption…it’s what he wants.”
            “Dreazin wants you to die…because he promessed you something more than what Eve could of given you; even thought, you were tricked from the start,” Xeo said as Klamp laugh at him.
            “Such is the will of all humans…to believe in hope or to be guided to their doomed fate.”
            “Klamp,” Aya said while trying to look on as she couldn’t do much to save him as Xeo wanted to but knew he was having his last moments in anguish. “First of all. I’m a cop and it’s my job. After all, I am human…it’s my duty to save those in my line of work.” Only a puse from Klamp as he spit up his own blood that even burned his face and neck.
            “Like I said, humans…are…pathetic. Xeo…” he said while the Jedi listens in. “…you will do well to know about your true self…such…as…your brother wants…you to be…you are…the first of…you’re kind…like…her. It’s a shame…for you two…hehe…the reunion of…you’re downfall…” Klamp said while his voice spoke less until he wasn’t able to make coherent sentences. Finally the pain settled in as his body started to give away and became another burnt corpse. They both got up and looked at each other as Aya knew the temptation of what Xeo needs to know could be seen in his eyes. Aya only took a few steps towards him as Xeo put his hands up.
            “No, Aya,” Xeo said as to which he added, “I don’t want you to know about this. It might…make you.” He kept saying as Aya cuts him off in mid-speech.
            “Xeo. You’re becoming unstable about this whole thing about your Dreazin and what you are to him. You want to save him but you aren’t sure about yourself…as I was before. You were calm and I was like you right now, jumping the gun too fast and wanting to know without knowing about the consequences,” Aya walks over to him and looks into his eyes to tell him what she has been going through. “I…I know now of what I am and what Eve is.
