The Bloody Marys - Chapter 4

A flash of light appears. 5 hooded figures appear in a clearing near a lake. The location - a small hamlet in Scotland. It is one of the remote lochs of Scotland where there are hardly any habitants.

'Aiye. Look who be here.' Says a voice with a heavy Scottish accent.

The 5 figures turn around to see a heavyset man with a scruffy beard grinning at them.

'McKinley. Good to see you old friend. Have you done what is needed?' Replies the Librarian.

'Aye me lassie. Where be my favorite Kryptos?' Replies McKinley looking at each of the Kryptos with a little disappointment in his eyes.

'The Healer is with the children. They need constant monitoring. She wished she could have been here too' replies the Librarian. 'Anyway McKinley. You know why we are here. Take us to her.'

McKinley turns and starts marching away towards the eastern part of the loch. The Kryptos follow him. They reach a run down house behind a clump of trees and McKinley stops. He looks around and turns to the Kryptos.

'Something is not right here people. Be on the look out' cautions McKinley.

McKinley knocks on the door and it is opened by a lady in her 30's. She smiles at McKinley and ushers them all in.

McKinley then asks her 'Where is the child?'

The lady leads them into a room where a mother lies on a bed with her baby in her arms. The mother looks up at the visitors. At the moment the Reaper motions everybody to keep quiet. He walks out of the room and crosses the passage way to a door on the other side. Just as he is about to open the door there is a scream from the bedroom. The Reaper opens the door as the Kryptos turn towards the mother and child to see them change form, just as the lady who opens the door does too.

'Shape shifters' scream Lady Mantis as she draws her FX. The same time McKinley draws a strange looking device and trains it onto the shape shifters and let's 2 blasts onto them just as they start to transform again.

'That makes sure they don't transform into anything else' screams McKinley as he pulls out his FX and aims it at one of the shape shifters. He takes out one just as Lady Mantis takes out another. The 3rd shape shifter runs out of the room towards the Reaper just as a shot is fired by the Destructor.

In the mean time the Reaper opens the door to find a woman tied up, bound and unconscious with a baby in her arms. Realizing the situation the Reaper grabs the baby and hands her to the Scientist and they run out of the house to avoid the firefight. As they get out they run into a number of shape shifters outside the house.

'Scientist take the girl and get her to the Healer now.' The Scientist turns around and runs back into the house. Just as the other Kryptos come out. The Librarian joins the Scientist and they head to one of the rooms and the Scientist pulls out his transporter and transports the both of them out of the place.
At the same time the remaining 3 Kryptos and McKinley engage the shape shifters in a fierce battle.

The Reaper suddenly takes out a small circular object and shouts out 'Guys take cover.'

He flings the object into the hordes of shape shifters and dives for cover. As he hits the ground the circular object turns blue and a circular lazer beam shoots out from it killing all the shape shifters around. The remaining shape shifters see the damage done and retreat.

McKinley gets up from behind his cover and turns to the Reaper 'I want one of those babies.'

The Reaper smiles and turns around. The Destructor takes out his transporter and the others gather around. A flash of light appears.
