Re: Continuing "Next Generation"

"Kinda" Rod shrugged "I sometimes remember it, and sometimes not"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Oh, I see," Lee shrugged. "You don't have to tell me. I'm fine with that."

[Roddie]

"Okay" Rod sighed

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"I love you, Rod," Lee smiled as she kissed him lightly on the nose before she hugged him close to her.

[Roddie]

"I love you too, Lee" Rod purred as he nuzzled her

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Good night, my little prince," Lee whispered as she laid her head next to his and closed her eyes to sleep.

[Roddie]

"Night, my pretty boochiboo" Rod whispered as he closed his eyes to go to sleep

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

Lee then drifted off sleep as her mind descended into darkness. A moment later, she found herself in a open, dark vacuum of space as she was standing by herself. "Hey, where am I?" she demanded as a flash of light beamed from the ground and a small opening appeared near her. Lee then sauntered over to it and entered the pathway as she sank deeper into the ground.

She then climbed down several flights of stairs as she smelled the musky odor of death and greenish-black smokes of flames lingering in the air. Lee noticed a large pool of lava as a wide, large canoe sat next to the deck with a mysterious, cloaked figure. She then got off the steps and strolled quickly to the deck before she approached him. "Hello? Is this boat taken?" she asked as the dark man shook his head and guided her into the canoe. She then lowered down gently into her spot as she gazed directly at him and placed her hands on her lap nervously.

The boat swiftly drifted away as it skidded smoothly in the red-hot lava and several blobs of magma erupted like crashing tidal waves. The elderly Salemite woman could feel her face burn brightly from the heat and she mustered all her courage to face her tour guide. "Where are we?"

"We are in the Underworld, madam, a place where those who neither belong in heaven or hell stay here to await judgement from their creator," the dark figure explained as his expressionless face peered into his and he let out a dark chuckle. "I know you. You are Natasha Dumonde's daughter. A fiery one, eh?"

"Yes, I am, but I have been awfully good since I joined Team Legacy," Lee nodded urgently as the man stiffened and said nothing. "Let your maker decide on that."

[Roddie]

(Are you trying to emulate the Protoss Underworld, right?)

RAzeroth 630 then aprpeared into the boat "You are gonna die!" he snickered

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

(I guess :S)

"ACK! What in God's name are you doing here?" Lee snarled as she took a couple of steps back in fear and glared at him harshly.

[Roddie]

"This is the Underworld, and i am dead, deduce it, old bitch" A 630 rolled his eyes

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Why are you following me?" Lee sneered with narrowed eyes. "Are you looking to settle a score with me because I hope you will eventually rot in hell."

[Roddie]

"I am gonna make you stay here, forever!" A 630 snickered as he drew out his sword and slashed the ground, making a rupture on it, he then reappeared behind Lee and kicked her on her back

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"No!" Lee screamed as she tumbled into the hole and fell down into the perpetual darkness. Moments later, she crashed onto the ground as she landed on her face and slowly got up. She was surprised to see an elderly Russian woman standing before her, wearing dark black clothes. "Mama?"

"Lee! It's good to see you," Natasha chimed warmly as she walked over to her daughter and hugged her. After exchanging kisses, the older woman pulled back and studied her. "Well! You've gained a lot of weight, babushka. I hope you're taking care of yourself or else you'll end up here very soon."

"I know, Mama," Lee growled with an eye roll as she placed a hand on her shoulder and escorted her into a private room. "Come on, now. I want you to meet with some departed loved ones."

They soon arrived in a stony, ragged cavern where there was a small table, a couple of benches, a red and black rug and a small fireplace. Lee was surprised to see several people standing in the room, with Tatiana, Great Aunt Cecilia, Lola and Harok among them.

"Papa! Aunt Tatiana! Great Aunt Cecilia! Lola! You're all here!" Lee gasped as a slender, thin and petite young woman with dark raven hair also materialized and her back shuddered in astonishment in recognition. "Suzanne?"

"Lee," Suzanne smiled as she went over to greet her adoptive sister-in-law and they exchanged hugs. "How have you been?"

"Good. I never expected to find you here," Lee replied as she drew back to look at her quizzically. "I thought you would be in heaven right now."

"Yeah, but it appears I have some unfinished business to do. I may get out of here soon," Suzanne answered with a shrug as Lee's face faltered in sadness at the memory of Cliff. "Cliff still misses you every day. He has never gotten over your death completely. It's like a constant aching in his heart."

"I know, but hopefully he'll move past that eventually. I don't want him to mourn me forever you know, because life goes on," Suzanne sighed.

[Roddie]

"BLARGH!" A 630 growled as he appeared into teh scene "Still wasn't fini-"

Just then, a man dressed in an Reanissance Assasin costume and wearing Rod's mask appeared into the scene and kicked 630 to the ground, then sliced his throat with a knife that protured from his bracelet, killing him, the man then stood up to smile at the Dumonde family

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Who are you?" Suzanne gasped in shock as the rest of the gang was mystified at what had just occurred.

"What is all this screaming and hollering down here?" a gravelly, raspy voice barked as an elderly woman shuffled into the room along with a light auburn-haired woman that seemed to somewhat resemble Marlena.

Lee then whipped her head and nearly started at the sight of the two women. "No... it can't be... Alice Horton?"

"So it's you, Lee; what are you doing down here?" Alice remarked as she approached her. "I was going to ask you the same," Lee sniffed.

"I keep an eye on the poor souls that manage to get trapped in the Underworld every now and then. I guide them through their thoughts and feelings towards their transition to the other side and I help them eventually cross over," Alice explained as she gestured to her younger companion. "And I don't know if you're familiar with her but this is Samantha Evans."

"Marlena's twin sister," Lee muttered as she held out her hand politely to shake and Samantha accepted it. "It's good to finally meet you after all these years, Lee. You have quite a reputation."

"That she does," Harok nodded in agreement as Tatiana smiled widely before pulling Lee into a hug. "But she's still my most favorite niece in the whole world!"

[Roddie]

"I am Gabilondo Damiani" the man presented himself "And i see you are my descendant's wife right now" he smiled

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"I'm Lee Dumonde, former Queen Consort Of Team Legacy," Lee smiled as she shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I came here to see my family."

[Roddie]

"Is Rod with you?" Gabilondo smiled

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"No, he is not, I'm afraid," Lee sighed sadly.

[Roddie]

"Bummer" Gabilondo muttered "I wanted to meet my great-great-great grandson"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"By the way, how did you know about me anyway?" Lee demanded with pursued lips.

[Roddie]

"My wife, who happens to be Rod's great-great-great grandmother, obviously, is a fortuneteller, and she can create a link between the Underwolrd and the living world and see all the events on it" Gabilondo smiled "We know everything"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"How interesting; I once had a female lover who was a fortuneteller too," Lee commented with a wry smirk as Harok looked at him with intrigue. "So that makes us family," he remarked.

[Roddie]

"That bitch of the Hinamoto clan?" Gabilondo laughed
