Archivist's Disclaimer: This story is not meant to imply anything about Britney Spears' sexual preference. This is merely fantasy, nothing more. All hell broke lose as Lara opened fire. During the chaos Vera snatched up Tessa's dirk and plunged it into the heart of the stunned Grisham. Marta went for Grisham's fallen pistol, but was yanked away by Buffy who saved her life as three soldiers had shot at her and would have killed her. Cleopatra hustled Vera behind a a large rock joined seconds later by Buffy and Marta. A soldier charged at Buffy, Buffy chopped the man across the neck killing him instantly. Hel and Sarge were sporting new and far superior wrist blasters as they joined Beka, Rommie, and Lara in wiping out Montoya's thug army. But as for Montoya himself? Tessa caught up with him as Col. Montoya thought he had gotten away clean. Tessa had retrieved her whip and sword. A vision of Tessa's father appeared before her. "Now my angel, you have my killer. Finish it," the ghost of Don Alvarado said. "No, father," Tessa whispered. "If I kill him I become no better than he is." Montoya saw Tessa just standing there. "This isn't over yet, bitch," Montoya spit. "I will rebuild my army and then I will kill and crush everyone. I think I'll start by killing all the children." "No! You bastard!" Tessa shouted, knowing now that Montoya had to die, even beyond her revenge. "Too bad, slut, you can't stop me if you're dead," Montoya sneered, drawing his pistol. Tessa's whip snaked out knocking the gun from Montoya's hand. Montoya lost the last bit of sanity he had as he drew his sword and charged like a madman. The fight was brief. Tessa ran him through after blocking 2 of his strikes. The image of her father appeared before her again. "You did the right thing my little angel. You killed him for reasons beyond my vengeance," the ghost of Don Alvarado said, smiling. "I am free now, but you, you must go with the women from the stars. You will not return here." "Papa..." Tessa whispered, tears forming in her eyes. "Your destiny is elsewhere now," Don Alvarado's ghost said with a sad smile. "Take Marta and Vera with you. You will all be needed more there. Farewell my angel, I go now to be with your mother. Be not sad." And with that the image of her father was gone leaving Tessa feeling more alone than ever. Tessa sank down to her knees and softly cried until she felt the reassuring hands of Marta on her shoulders. "The cards are always right, my child. Death was indeed here today," Marta said stroking her hair. "Our old life is dead as are our enemies. I see a new life for us with these women from the stars." "I am ready, Marta," Tessa said, holding her friend's hand. "Everything has changed for us yet again. Without you I would lose my sanity." "When your father was murdered it was just the 2 of you," Vera softly said as she joined them. "I am here with you now as well, my dearest ones. Whatever the future holds, I will be there for you always." The 3 women embraced. Beka motioned the others back in order to give them some time to themselves. An hour later Tessa, Marta and Vera came down the hill and joined the mysterious women who had saved them. Beka stepped forward. "Hello, I am Captain Beka Valentine, acting commander of the Andomeda Ascendant," Beka smiled, extending her hand. "This is Rommie, Helen, Sarge, Lara Croft, Buffy Summers, and Cleopatra." "Thank you for saving us," Tessa said, taking Beka's hand. "I have reason to believe that we are now to accompany you." "Billions of lives are depending on us," Rommie said. "I'm sorry, you may wish to gather whatever personal effects you can find. The one you called Col. Montoya burned your home before we arrived. I fear there is little left, but if you wish...." "No, if that is the case then we shall go with you now," Tessa sighed. "It is best if we look to the future." "I love your clothes," Vera said to the scantily clad Sarge. "Maybe we can get you something similar," Sarge smiled. "I would like that," Vera smiled at Sarge. ****** Tessa, Vera, and Marta were a little amazed when they first saw Trance. But like Britney they soon liked the alien woman. What they liked even more was the fact that all the other girls had started going around the ship nude. Vera especially hated clothes, but Tessa and Marta soon joined in. Suppressed lust was everywhere. All of the women needed release from the sexual tension that was rapidly filling the starship. Andromeda's hologram informed the women that there was only 1 time period, albeit in 2 separate realities, left. Six more women, a total of 18 to stop the trillions of Magog whose only goal was conquest. The End - Chapter 7 Author's Note: I went a little long in chapter 6, I'm going a bit short in chapter 7. Setting up chapter 8, with Xena, Gabrielle, and a reformed Livia. Livia, not Eve. I've figured out a way to reform her without reducing her to the wimpy whiny Eve.
