Last Time . . .
"Joey! Watch out!" Beryl and Chris said as they both saw the forming attack from behind.
This Time . . .
Joey turned around and braced for impact, Beryl teleported behind the crowd and Chris teleported to Joey's side. As Beryl took care of the surplus of vampires from behind, Joey and Chris took care of the ones in front. Together they made a good team, and killed off every single last one of the vampires who made it inside the house.
"You ok?!" They all asked simultaneously, "Yeah!" they replied, "Let's go!" They said as they ran in the direction of the ballroom.
As Justin was on his way to the back entrance by the den, he decided to cut across the ballroom. He was just about to open the door, when he saw a red light quickly go down the wood frame, till it disappeared behind his body. He quickly jumped to the side and a bullet went clear through the mahogany door. He lay on his side and looked at the hole.
"Jesus woman! Can't you see, that we are doing something a little more productive here, than shooting at each other?" Justin said as he looked around the room for the female assassin.
"Like what?" Her voice said.
Justin quickly jumped up and ran into the ballroom that still had confetti and balloons on the floor, Josh and the rest of the guys ran in right after him.
"All, vampires are no longer in the Manor. Going to level-two security breach. General Everton would like to know if we are still alive."
"Tell him we are all fine CIDS." Lance said as he rubbed his chest.
Justin quickly turned around and waited for the doors to open and sure enough, they did and in walked a woman dressed all in black.
"You're a coward to run away!" She said, as he she took her gun and aimed it at Justin.
"I'm not the one using a gun now, am I?" He said with a cocky smile.
She looked down at the rifle she had in her hands and dropped it to the ground.
"You actually want to kill me don't you?" Justin said holding his cockiness at its peek.
"You are the only one standing in my way." She said as she took a couple of steps forward.
"Um, Justin, I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but why is this woman trying to kill you?" Chris asked, as he got closer to Justin's ear.
Justin looked at Chris and smiled.
"She's an assassin, and so am I. She wants to be the top gun . . . I am, so she wants to kill me so she can be the top assassin."
Chris, Joey, and Lance stood shocked that the comment Justin just made. Lance smacked Josh's arm, stared at him dead in the face and said,
"AND you didn't tell me!"
"I . . . Didn't think it was that important?" Josh said as he looked away.
"Not that important!?" Joey said as he walked up to Justin.
"How could you not tell us?! I mean . . . I knew you had changed, but you didn't tell us the biggest change of your life!" Chris said.
Soon all of them were arguing and yelling at each other.
"I'm not supposed to tell you every little detail about my life thank you very much Joey!" Justin said turning away from him.
"Yeah, he doesn't need to tell you about his life!" Beryl pulled Joey away from Justin.
"Lance I didn't think it was that important. I mean, so he kills people for a living. So what! We work for the government doing almost the same thing." Josh said talking quietly to Lance
"WE KILL PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY DEAD . . .BABE!" Lance yelled.
"Well, personally I think it took a lot of guts for Justin to come out like that!" Chris said. Then he stopped. "Oh my God! I've actually started talking like a teacher!"
"Why couldn't you be a teacher?!" Joey yelled at Justin.
"Oh, I really see that one happening!" Justin said as he rolled his eyes.
"Look, Lance, I would really like to talk about this somewhere else!" Josh said.
"Oh NO! We are standing here and we are going to argue this thing until we can't talk anymore!"
The female assassin was standing there listening to the whole thing and growing annoyed. She picked up her gun, took of the silencer and shot up into the air.
"ENOUGH!" She yelled.
The guys all stopped and looked at her until Chris said.
"Excuse me! We are having a conversation here!"
"And watch out for the glass! It costs a fortune to get those set up like that!" Lance yelled, as he looked up and saw the bullet hole only a couple of inches away from the window.
They all went back to arguing and she stood there for a second shocked. She walked out of the room, and as the door shut, they stopped arguing.
"I can't believe that still works after all these years." Joey said, as he looked at all the guys.
Josh lightly rubbed his arm, looked at Lance and said,
"OUCH!"
"Oh I didn't hit you that hard!" Lance said smiling.
"No, it was just a love tap!" Josh said smiling.
"CIDS, has the woman left the Manor yet?" Justin asked looking out the window.
"Yes, Justin. She is now clearing the front gates. Josh, would you like the damage assessments to the Manner?"
"Later CIDS, just keep the Manor on lockdown until morning."
"I'm going to take my kid, and go to bed. Night . . . or morning guys. Happy New Year." Chris said after looking around and walking out, soon followed by Beryl and Justin.
"So, Joey, what's up with you?" Lance asked as Josh made his way to their bedroom.
"Nothing. Just thinking. Maybe one of us should keep watch in case they decide to attack again." Joey said as the metal shutters for the windows raised.
"It's only an hour till dawn, I don't think they will risk it. Get some sleep Joey. That's an order." Lance said as he smiled and looked at Joey.
"What makes you think you can order me around like that . . . little one?" Joey said smiling.
Lance leaned close to Joey's ear and said,
"Cause I'm the Chosen One's boyfriend."
"I'm sorry." Joey said with a smile.
Lance punched him in the arm and said.
"Ass. I'm going to bed, and so are you. NOW MOVE!"
Joey looked at Lance and shrugged. He turned into a bird and flew up the staircase. Lance smiled and went up to his and Josh's room. The room was completely black, all except for a small light glowing from the side of the room, which was just enough for Lance to see. He cautiously made his way to the light, and saw that it was a small candle burning on the table next to the window.
"Odd." Lance said as he looked around room and saw nothing.
Under then candle was a letter, which read,
"Meet me in the training room, we need to talk . . . . . Josh."
Lance put the letter down and walked to the training room, which like their bedroom, was dark.
"Josh?" Lance said as he entered the room.
There was no answer and Lance slowly made his way further into room, as the morning sun just starting to break through the small windows that lined the top of the walls. Lance listened carefully and heard the sound of a thumping coming from behind him. When he turned he could see a figure flipping towards him. Just as he was about to move the figure stopped, foot swept him to the ground, and landed on top of him. As Lance looked the figure in the eyes he could clearly see the familiar light blue shimmer that had started to glow in Josh's eyes after they had their powers for about 5 years.
"Josh what are you do . . . ing?" Lance said as he saw that Josh didn't have a shirt on or anything else for that matter.
"It occurred to me, that we haven't been spending anytime together. And . . . Oh to hell with it, I'm horny and I want you!" Josh said, then quickly kissed Lance on the mouth.
They began to roll around on the floor kissing each other like crazy, and soon Lance was on top of him and quickly tore off his shirt, and then started to kiss Josh again. Josh's hands roamed over Lance's body, as if they were searching for something. Soon they found their way down his chest to his pants. Josh quickly undid them and pulled them off along with Lance's underwear. They began to kiss each other and rub each other's bodies.
Josh slowly kissed his way down to Lance's hard cock and teased the tip with his tongue. He quickly began to suck it, taking it all the way into his mouth. Lance let out a deep moan as he held on tightly to the back of Josh's head. Josh lightly rubbed Lance's balls as he sucked his cock. Lance began to twitch uncontrollably as he felt the pleasure of a climax coming on. He shot his hot load into Josh's mouth, and Josh swallowed every bit of it.
"Now it's your turn." Lance said as he threw Josh on his back.
:::Dream:::
"Where are you?" Josh asked as he stood in the middle of a desert.
"We are near by, but we need you to come get us. Please JC, they are coming for us. It's only a matter of time before they find us."
"How many of you?"
"6, Please hurry."
"Just tell me where you are. I will come pick you up personally."
"We are in the town where your house is. We can see it from where we are. Please hurry."
:::End Dream:::
Josh opened his eyes, and looked over at Lance who was sleeping on his chest. He looked and noticed they were still in the training area, and still naked. He kissed Lance on the top of his head, then stood and started to get dressed.
"CIDS?" Josh whispered, "Quietly tell me if any of the other team members are up." CIDS voice came in the room and said,
"Mr. Kirkpatrick in the kitchen eating some toast."
"Tell, him to meet me in the lobby as soon as he is done." Josh said as he pulled on his black pants over his naked body.
"Affirmative."
Chris was sitting at the counter eating a piece of toast and was reading the morning papertron.
"Another exciting event at the Foxglove Manner last night. They are calling it the party of the Century, and everyone was there, and we do mean everyone." The words moved across the screen of the electronic slab that took the place of a regular newspaper back in 2005.
Chris put the tablet down and took a drink of the orange juice he had made when a voice came into the kitchen.
"Mr. Kirkpatrick?" CIDS said.
Chris looked up at the ceiling and then wondered what he should do.
"Yes . . .CIDS?" He said not sure if he was doing it right.
"Josh has asked that you meet him in the lobby when you are done with your toast."
"Okay . . . Thank you." Chris said frowning.
"You're welcome Mr. Kirkpatrick. Have a nice day."
Chris shook his head, took the rest of his toast into his mouth and started to walk for the lobby. As he was walking he saw Josh heading to the kitchen.
"Sorry, I need some food." Josh said as he walked by him.
Chris smiled and took another bite of his toast and said,
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Two men having sex can really drain a person." Then turning and following Josh back to the kitchen. "So, why did you need to meet me?" Chris asked as he sat on the stool and Josh pulled out an apple and started to munch on it.
"We need to go pick up some kids. You know, The Dream Masters."
"So why me?"
"You're the only one up, and on top of that, you relate to kids better than any of us."
"How do you figure?" Chris said as he teleported an apple into his hand.
"Okay, let's see." Josh said as he walked over to a bag that was on the counter, which belonged to Chris.
"Music for children 5 to 12, Piano lessons for all ages." Josh continued to list the names of the books in the bag until Chris stopped him.
"Okay! I get the point. You know, those could be for my son?"
"Yeah, I know, like I said you're better with kids than any of us." Josh said as he smiled, "Oh yeah, by the way! I'm driving!" Then he took off running for the garage.
"OH no your not!" Chris said chasing after him, as they ran through the house in a full sprint.
Finally they got to the garage and Chris stopped and looked in awe.
"Okay, can we say . . . show off?" Chris said as he looked at Josh.
The whole garage was lined with cars, both old and new.
"What? I actually got into buying cars. It's a healthy habit." Josh said with an innocent look on his face.
"Yeah right! You just like to show off your money!" Chris said with a laugh. "So which one are we taking?"
"The van." Josh said with a smile.
"Oh, then you can drive." Chris said as he climbed in the passenger seat. "I wouldn't be caught dead driving a van."
Josh laughed and drove the van down the long driveway to the small town about 15 miles away from their house.
"Ok, so where exactly are we going?" Chris asked as they entered into the next town.
"You see that building that's being remodeled over there?" Josh asked.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"That's where they are. They've been hiding out from something. I'm guessing some bad asses who are trying to get them."
"So, you don't even know why they're here?"
"Nope. All I know is that they're in trouble and we need to help them."
"Like old times then huh?"
"Yeah . . . like old times." JC said as he parked the van.
"Well, let's go!"
"Wait . . . Chris?"
"Yeah?"
"Um . . . I just wanted to say something." JC said looking at Chris in the eyes, "Um . . . I know that . . . I mean, I was . . ."
"Josh, you don't have to apologize."
"Yeah I do. I acted like a really big prick, and the result was me losing another one of my best friends. I'm sooo sorry!" He said starting to tear up, "Just promise me that no matter what happens after this that we never go back to how it was. I want to be apart of your life again, and you apart of mine!"
"I promise!" Chris said giving Josh a slight hug before saying, "Alright, enough of this mushy shit, we got us a world to save!"
JC laughed a bit and they both got out of the car.
"Is that him?" Sean asked.
"Yeah, that's him!" Vanessa said.
"Are you sure? I mean, after the last few days, I'm not too sure about who's friend and who's foe." Dominic said after they had turned away from the window of the abandoned building.
"Yes, I'm sure. That is him, I'd recognize him anywhere." She reassured.
"Ok, so should we go to him or make them come to us?" Sean asked.
"Let's get everybody together first, then we'll see what happens then." Dominic stated.
Sean went off ahead of the two and Vanessa said,
"Dom . . ."
"Yeah?"
"Before we go, I just wanted to say . . ."
"Yeah?"
"It wasn't your fault about your dad. We all know we tried our hardest to save him. You know he sacrificed himself for our sake."
"Yeah, I . . . I know." He said reflecting about the events within the passed few days.
The day before.
"Danger, danger, security breach." A female computerized voice said.
"DARLA, locate the position of all enemies within the area." Dr. Wilkes, the former leader and father figure to the 6 dream masters said upon their mansion being attacked.
"Dad? What's going on?" Dominic said running into the master control room.
"We're under attack. Take the team and bring them to the basement and initiate cloaking devices."
"Why? What's happening?"
"I don't know son. Just do as I say."
"Ok, come on then, let's go."
"No, I have to stay here. Dominic, listen to me." Dr. Wilkes said grabbing his son by the shoulders and looking him in the eyes, "There are some very evil people that are trying to come after you. If they get a hold of you, all is lost. You have to listen to me. If I get caught, I'm as good as dead. Even if you see me afterwards, I'm not going to be the same person."
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
"I don't have time to explain. All I can say is that the time has come for you to stop them. You must find the Chosen Ones they can protect you. Vanessa will know how to find them. Now go!"
"But dad . . ."
"GO!"
"Yes sir."
"Dom . . ."
"Yeah dad?"
"Always remember, I love you!"
"I love you too dad."
After assembling the team, bringing them down to the basement and initiating the cloaking program, they waited. They remained as quiet as they possible could, all having the same questions but no answers. They were watching the monitor screens in the basement and they saw some strange men roaming around the complex.
"Who are they?" Sonia, the youngest member of the group of six, said.
"I have no clue." Dominic said.
"What do they want?" Sean asked.
"I don't know!"
"Calm down Dom." Vanessa said. "They're just asking questions. Look, let's just try and get through this and see where it takes us."
"Vanessa, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Look, my dad said that we have to find 'the Chosen Ones' whoever they are. He said that you would know how to find them."
"The Ch . . . Chosen Ones?"
"You know them don't you?"
"Sort of . . ."
"What do you mean sort of?"
"Well, under the Doc's orders, I've already been in contact with the leader of the Chosen Ones. He said that we were being hunted after by . . . By vampires."
"What?"
"Yeah . . . they're real. And for some reason, they're after us."
"Well, what have you been saying to this Chosen One? And why didn't I know about it?"
"I don't know why he didn't tell you, but it must have been for a reason. As far as how long I've been in contact with the leader, that's only been for a few days." She said as they turned back to the group, "Look, we gotta get out of here and fast!"
"Where will we go?" Sonia asked.
"Virginia."
"Why there?" Dominic asked.
"That's where the Chosen Ones are."
"Who are the Chosen Ones?" Sean asked.
"Some people who are going to help us. Look, I'll fill you all in on the way. We just gotta get out of here, before they find us! We can't stay in the basement forever. Come on, we gotta get to the underground emergency escape docs. Let's go."
"DOM!" Leo said looking at the monitor.
"What?" Dominic said running over to Leo.
"They've got the Doc!"
"Oh my god!" He said looking at the screen with horror, "NO!!"
He watched as his father was bitten and drained of his life and goodness. Once he fell limp, the vamp who had bitten him, threw him over his shoulder and carried him away.
"No!"
"Come on Dom, we gotta get out of here or they're gonna get us too!" Vanessa said taking control.
"I gotta save him!"
"We gotta get out of here!"
"NO!"
"We don't have time for this!" Sean said.
"So much for a Happy New Year!" Leo said walking over to Dominic and knocking him out. "Sorry about that buddy, but we gotta get the hell out of here!" He picked him up and threw him over his shoulder and they proceeded to escape.
Present.
"So what do we do now Dom?" Buffy asked, "Dom? Suga, you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm . . . f . . fine. Um . . . I think we should let them come to us." Dominic said coming back to reality.
"So, what do we do now?" Chris asked.
"We go in and get em I guess." Josh said as they made their way towards the building.
"Here they come.... What do we do?" Sean asked.
"Vanessa, go and meet them in the lobby, but be careful. Buff, go with her just in case." Dominic said.
"You heard the man, let's go suga." Buffy said as she and Vanessa made their way to the main entrance.
As both couples made their way to the entrance, they were both careful for the simple fact that they didn't know who they were dealing with.
"Is it him?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah, it's him. I don't know who the other guy is, but I know that THAT is the one I've been contacting with." Vanessa replied.
"Well, I do declare that they're both two fine specimens of man!"
"Stay focused!"
"I am, I'm focusing on that fine gentleman's nice ass!"
"Shut up!" Vanessa said, forced to laugh at the last comment.
"Shh . . . Listen. You hear that?" Josh said.
"Yeah, sounded like a laugh." Chris replied.
"It came from over there."
