"No," Sam stated firmly. "I will not. He lives and he stays here. You will take Sergeant Beckinsale to safety. Do I make myself clear?" Sam had fought with more than her share of men and women bent on killing her or worse. She would not back down to Alexandra. Nero needed to live to take a message back to his superiors. He needed to be the messenger, not a guard or another prisoner. Nero. And Sam would make sure he lived to do just that. She pulled out her knife, her eyes deadly serious. "I would not recommend you challenge me on this, Commander."

[NEW]


"Please stop." Amarylis whimpered.

Alexandra laughed. "So you plan to kill me in his place? Didn't you mommy ever tell you not to pull a weapon on someone unless you plan to kill them? Because that is what you are going to have to do to stop me." she said taking a stance preparing for a strike from Samantha.

She had no wish to hurt Alexandra, and if it came right down to it, wasn't sure if she would even try. "Commander Vance, I order you to stand down," Sam said, her tone cold. "You've read my record. I don't back down. Are you really going to kill your commanding officer, the one you swore to protect, for vengeance?"

"And you would kill me so you can satisfy yours? I've read you record and I'm sorry to say you don't stand a chance. I will not kill you, I am no traitor. Harm you to protect you from yourself? Absolutely ma'am and you can stand me in front of any court, I will tell them how that yes Commodore Samantha York was protecting a man from certain death at my hands, but not out of compassion, but to settle some personal vendetta. The difference between you and I is I've been here before. If you let him go Samantha, ever and I mean EVERY bit of harm that is caused by him will be on your hands and I will be there every time to remind you of this moment. Can you live with that Samantha? Honestly?" Vance replied ominously.

"This is the second time people I care about have been hurt or killed because of the man behind this operation," Sam said. "If we kill Nero, his boss will come after us again and again. If Nero lives to deliver my message, not only will his boss know that I won't give him a third try, but I doubt Nero will live. I'm letting him go to SAVE lives. You're the one with the need for revenge. I'll be the one to testify that you killed in cold blood."

She put her knife away. "And I'll be the one to testify that your rage was so fierce you attacked your unarmed commander to enact your revenge. Now, STAND DOWN."

Alexandra noticed Nero was making a move towards Sam and took a throwing knife from her belt and threw it at Nero's knee. He immediately dropped to one knee cowering in pain. "Bow to your master, slave." Alexandra growled looking back to Samantha.

"So much to learn little one." she said picking up Amarylis slowly, Amarylis whimpered as she was picked up. "Come now dear, it's ok." she said soothingly walking towards the exit of the cell.

Sam had felt Nero's intent as he began to move. Alexandra was a hair faster than she was. She nodded to Alex and turned to face Nero. "Tell your boss to leave us alone. Twice he tried and twice he failed. Each time we caused more damage. Next time, we'll bring the Federation in on this. Tell him an intel officer was one of your prisoners. By now, he knows everything about your operation. This is his only warning." She leaned closer to Nero. "Trust me, you won't be able to lie your way out of this one."

Nero lunged at her, hoping to take her down with him, but Sam kicked him in the face, knocking him back onto the ground. "This is your only warning as well," she said before walking out of the cell."


[Rooms near Nero Habitation]

The Guard turned to see a Slave Girl heading his way, in all the panic he really did not care so long as she was not trying to escape. She seemed a bit startled and running for her life; she had a large bruse over her eye so she had been a bad girl. He chuckled as there were two of the human girls; each in a diffrent room, waiting someone to come for their reward. The Guard did not think too much until the Slave Girl slaiced his gun hand and moved behind and put a blade to his throat.

"The Keys." She demanded.

"I-I don't..." The world went black after a Vulcan maneuver dropped him.

The Slave Girl grabbed his weapon. "Disgusting..." She said as she pointed and shot the lock, not the neatest of shots but at close range few could miss it. "Come on Girl we need to get the hell out of here." The Slave Girl urged before shooting the other lock and urging the second girl in the same manner.

The Three were quickly in the corridor.

"You security?" The Slave Girl asked the human in a tattered uniform, the lady nod. "Here you can use this better than me." The Slave Girl nod and held the Gladius at the ready. "Watch our backs." Then she started towards the Arena; the best place for a mass transport.

Roberta followed Lukk through the maze of rooms, growing angrier with those responsible as she looked in the rooms. She turned to Lukk. "My God..how could someone act like this?"

Korok paused for a long moment and as he did he replied. "I do not know what possesses a person to do things like this to another. It is what has fueled me to survive while here. I guess that I thought if I lived I might be able to make a difference to those who were kept like this, eventually and now, I may. Just saving one of these people helps."

Andrews's eyes had a look of cold fury in them. "Well Lukk, le'ts help those we're here to help. And send to their 'Maker' those that did this to them."

Korok wanted to laugh at the fire this woman held within. He found it both admirable and disconcerting at times. Such as was his own dual nature within himself and his mixed heritage. "I would say that is acceptable, but I do not know where Nero is nor have we ran across any of his guards."

"This is not the place for a lovers' reunion," Bosley interrupted. "Both of you, back down the tunnel and outside.

Kara and Cam entered the arena with their team of Marines. "Bosley!" Kara said. "Good to see you."

Just then, the ground began to tremble violently, knocking everyone to the ground as the power went out.
