Re: Continuing "Next Generation"

"I had an nightmare, Uncle Rod. I had a dream where all of the government people came into our home and took us all away," Aliya sniffled as she peered up at Rod.

"Oh, darling; you don't need to worry about that. That's just a fairy story parents tell their children to make them behave," Lee tried to assure her new charge.

[Roddie]

(Seriously, i thought i could make Sasha a good girl and you ruined it )

"Yeah, no government will take you away" Rod smiled as he nuzzled Aliya "Not if I am with you"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

(Don't worry, I'll make her a good guy again. Besides, I DID say she was infiltrating the Super League Of Villains so she is still a good guy)

"Really, Uncle Rod?" Aliya whispered.

[Roddie]

(Are... you sure you don't wanna make a roleplay out of the story? I can roleplay as Machina Stitch since i saw that cartoon )

"Yeah" Rod smiled "Nothing to fear of"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

(Yes I'm sure I don't want to make a role play out of the story. Besides, we've worked very hard on it. And believe me when I say that Sasha will redeem herself in the end. What caused you to decide to make Sasha good again?)

"Okay, Uncle," Aliya smiled. "Were you and Auntie Lee sleeping?"

[Roddie]

(I have no apparent reason, i just got reminded of an old friend of mine having his ex-girlfriend as his friend now :S)

"Nah, we were playing domino" Rod chuckled sarcastically "Of course we were, little one" he laughed

(Can we have sex? Please?)

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

(No; besides, I got to go to bed soon; I have a busy day tomorrow)

"I'm sleepy," Aliya yawned as she rubbed her eyes sleepily.

[Roddie]

"Okay then, sleep on us" Rod smiled as he rocked Aliya to sleep

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

(How did you like my flower gift? I was thinking of combining GIMP and Paintbrush for my future drawings)

"Okay," Aliya whispered as she nuzzled deeply into him. "Good night, Uncle."

"Night, darling," Lee murmured softly as she kissed her softly before she lay down to sleep.

[Roddie]

(It was cute, it wasn't so good as the otehr flowers you've drawn, but intention's what counts)

"Night" Rod whispered as he also kissed Aliya and lay down to sleep

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

(Yeah; I rushed it, I'm afraid)

That evening, a group of soldiers marched towards the village as helicopters hovered in the skies. There were several shouts as many of the soldiers raised up their guns and barged into the premises. One of them pulled the trigger and a fireball shot up into the air before exploding. "Get them!" the general roared as they started blasting their guns and screaming at the top of their lungs.

An alarm then sounded through the air as Chekhov shot up in bed, bewildered. "Something's wrong," he mumbled as Charisma stirred from her sleep.

"Your Majesty! We're under attack!" a servant yelled as he barged through the door.

"All right," Chekhov nodded as he turned to Charisma. "My queen, let's gather up our men," he said as they walked out of the room.

[Roddie]

Rodney was meditating in his room when he suddenly opened his eyes "Bastards"

-

Rod then grumbled as he woke up "What now?" he moaned

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"What is it?" Reyka frowned as she sat up.

-----

"Oh no..." Lee whispered as she felt a bad sense of forebodng in her chest. She then groaned softly while clutching her head and her eyes started to glow brilliantly.

[Roddie]

(You were in a rush? Come on! That's not an excuse!)

"They came" Rodney replied

-

"Lee? What's wrong?" Rod frowned worriedly at his wife

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

(Yeah; I'm going to bed. Good night)

"Who came?" Reyka frowned.

------

"Visions... people... wounded... village... burning... men.... guns..." Lee stammered as she seized violently and she was falling into a hynoptic trance.

[Roddie]

"I wish i knew" Rodney sighed

-

"Lee, clam down" Rod whispered as he hugged Lee tightly to comfort her

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Well, let's go investigate," Reyka urged him.

------

Lee then started to breathe heavily as she lay in Rod's arms while still thrashing violently. Just then, Adrienne, Sivonne, Jeune, Hollisay, Miska and Bertha rushed into the bedroom along with Charisma. "What's happening to my baby?!" Charisma demanded as she sat on the bed and peered at Lee. Lee then grunted incoherently as she continued to undergo violent seizures.

"What's happening to her, Momma?" Sivonne frowned as she examined her sister carefully.

"I... I'm not sure..." Charisma frowned. "It appears that Lee might be undergoing a special state of mind. Perhaps she's making a connection to the spirit world."

"The spirit world?" Hollisay gasped.

"Yes; some of us Atlanteans have the ability to go into meditation in order to gain access to the spiritual realm. Others even possesses the ability to have visions. Perhaps Lee has both abilities as well," Charisma mused.

"Momma, I had visions of bad people coming here!" Aliya cried while waving her hands.

"You did?" Charisma inquired as the little girl nodded.

She then turned to Rod. "Just try to comfort her, Rod. Stay calm around her. Whatever you do, do not break the connection or she will fall into a permanent catatonic state, and we do not want that to happen."

Meanwhile, the soldiers had broken into several homes and kidnapped many of the children from their bedrooms. They were locked up in cages and were now being hauled away in trucks. Many parents emerged out of their houses screaming and wailing as they were despairing at what to do.

Naeten looked on at the scene with pure fear as she watched through the window. Lida was sitting in her rocking chair knitting woolen sweaters.

"Momma, what are we going to do? They are going to take the children from our village and send them away to plantations as slaves! They will suffer the same fate as we did!"

"I know, but there is nothing we can do, honey. We must trust in our god to give us faith and strength in this trying time," Lida said as she kept on knitting.

Naeten growled. "No... where was he when Lee and I and so many other kids were taken away by those soldier? Huh? Where was he?"

Lida did not respond as Naeten walked towards the door to leave. "I'm leaving, and I'm doing everything I can to save those children."

She then walked out of the door and left.

[Roddie]

"I am afraid we must kill them" Rodney sighed

-

"Damn, i wish i could help" Rod sighed as he hugged Lee

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Yeah," Reyka nodded.

-----

"I know," Sivonne nodded.

"Hey, why don't we let Momma stay with Lee? Rod can help us fight," Jeune suggested.

"Sounds like a mighty fine idea," Hollisay nodded.

[Roddie]

(Wanna chat?)

"Reyka, you and Meryl take care of the kids and everyone else, i deal with then" Rodney instructed his wife

-

"No, really, i'll take care of Lee, i'll let my brother take care of them" Rod sighed

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"All right," Reyka nodded.

------

"Okay," Jeune shrugged.

Lee then moaned softly with her eyes halfway open and she was still in a trance.

Simba then rushed into the scene with Zazu on his shoulder. "Rod, I've sent Timbuktu to L.A. to deliver the news to Rhonda."

(No, I'm studying)

[Roddie]

Rodney then left the room, then got into his wrist communicator "Attention, to all the Hyperion troops get out and kick some asses!"

"Got it!" Buckley sad through his communicator

After some minutes, the Hyperion opened it's doors and hundreds of Terran armored soldiers alog with soem Firebats came out of it, they then ran towards the soldiers and began to shoot at them

-

"Good" Rod sighed "God, i wish i could help the people since i am the new king"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

The soldiers then kept on shooting back as some of them threw poison grenades at them.

-------

"Well, you're not king yet, Rod, but you will be," said Charisma.

[Roddie]

"Put on visors" one marine said through the intercome as he put on his helmet's visor

"Yes sir!" the marines repleid as they also put on their visors

After that, the marines and Firebats went through a winning battle with the soldiers as they were killing them with their bullets

-

"I know" Rod nodded

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

The kids then were crying shrilly as more helicopters and airplanes swooped down and continued to bomb the area.

Meanwhile, Naeten was being chased by more soldiers as she raced into the woods. She then hid behind a tree as the soldiers crept slowly towards her.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are," one of the soldiers growled.

Naeten then whimpered as she began to relieve memories of the day she and Lee were taken away from their home.

--------

Lee was still lying unconsciously in Rod's arms as she was experiencing a vision. She soon found herself in a white area as she encountered a beautiful goddess before her.

"Who are you? Where am I?" she asked.

"You are in the spirit world; your people are in a desperate hour and are praying to their gods for aid," the goddess answered.

"But why me? I have never been particularly religious," Lee retorted whimsically.

"But that doesn't mean that the gods don't look upon you with favor," said the goddess.

"Doesn't seem like it to me judging by the way my life turned out," Lee retorted angrily.

"Might seem like that to you, but everyone goes through many trials and tribulations, and you have survived them all. You deserve a lifetime of happiness for proving yourself worthy of Heaven. Behind that tortured soul of yours is a good heart," the goddess replied.

"You really believe that?" Lee scoffed.

"Yes, and I know there is another tortured soul that needs your help. Protect her, Lee. You are her guardian angel now," the goddess replied.

"Does this mean I'm going to die?" Lee gasped in horror.

"No, your time is not upon you yet. You have so many things to accomplish in your life. Your destiny awaits you. And besides, your people need you yet," the goddess said as she reached out her hand and bestowed a mysterious ancient mark on Lee's right wrist. Lee then glanced at it as she turned to see the goddess waving at her. Her vision then flashed white as she was teleported back to Earth and her eyes faded away back to their normal color.

She then slowly opened her eyes to look at Rod. "Rod, I had the most strangest dream," she whispered.
