*Serenity pulls out the deluxe espresso/cappuccino maker they keep stashed under the bar. There is the grinding of beans and the frothing of milk and within minutes, the aroma fresh coffee fills the air.*

Also, I found some scones stashed under here. Do you think anyone will want some?

**jake7's stomach rumbles**

Yes, but save the scones for us. No men are allowed to have anything that may hamper the absorption of alcohol!

Onboard the Adelai Niska

EvilJazaf opens his eyes slightly, but he doesn't move. His memory is botchy of the past few hours and the ringing in his head isn't helping. He remains on his back until the ringing is a dull buzz and he can hear someone mention scones. He slowly looks towards the source and sees Jake7 head for the bar.

'This is going to be slightly unpleasant.' EJ thinks to himself. In a flash of movement EJ bounces to his feet and races out of the Common room. Finding a secluded spot EJ, hides and waits for the sharp needles in his legs and head to stop. Looking around EJ spots two small lamps. Holding one in each hand EJ begins to focus his inner energies. 'If what that old goat said was true I should be able to use anything.'

The Lamps lengthen, flatten out, and form an edge on one side. EJ opens his eyes to find himself holding two Katanas. An evil grin works it's way over EJ's face. 'Now to stay hidden. When the time is right.' EJ gives his weapons an experimental swing, placing two marks in the wall several inches deep. 'Jazaf will never know what hit'em and I will be the dominant one.'

EJ disappears into the ship.

On the Adelai Niska

DarkStatic groans and pushes himself to his knees, and then to his feet. He watches both Souls squaring off and decides there's no role he can play in that drama. At his feet, the Evil CMS moans softly. He smiles down at her, "Sucks, don't it?" and grabs her by the ankle, dragging her out of the bridge and sealing the door behind them.

He pulls CMS to her feet and gently pats her cheek, drawing her slowly into consciousness. Her head rolls slowly and then her eyes open. DarkStatic looks into her eyes until she becomes aware of her surroundings. She makes eye contact with DarkStatic, and then her eyes snap open in surprise. Before she can speak, DarkStatic smiles and decks her HARD. She slumps to the deck, unconscious once more.

Drawing one of his pistols, DarkStatic begins moving through the ship, confident that noone else knows which side he's on.

Soul takes a running start at his counterpart, swinging his katana low, aiming for Dark Soul's knees. His evil side leaps back, just avoiding the blow, as Soul had hoped. Soul spins around, driving his right foot into DS's back, throwing the shadowed one to the deck.

"This isn't the fight I was hoping for," Soul says, mocking his counterpart.

Dark Soul wipes his cheek with one hand, leaving a bloody stain across his face. "You want a fight? I'll give you one."

Dark Soul roars as he charges towards Soul, reaching to the side as he nears the pilot's seat and pulls a wicked-looking blade out of hidden sheath. He continues across the deck, swinging the sword hard. Soul parries, and the two blades collide, sparks flying.

The next few minutes looks like something out of a movie, the flash of blades too quick for the eye to follow. Dark Soul comes in low, feints to the side, and then brings his sword up, catching Soul on his left leg. Soul yelps and pulls back. It's a minor cut, but a cut none-the less.

"I guess we're even now," Soul states.

"Not by a long shot," Dark Soul replies.

Blades spark again.

*EvilSerenityClone comes to, slowly and painfully. Her head feels like it could burst. And she is really, really angry. She whispers a few colorful phrases, fantasizes briefly about the horrible things she will do to DarkStatic when she catches him, then pulls herself to her feet. Behind her, she can hear the battle waging on the bridge between the two Souls. DarkStatic can wait. She has more important things to do right now.

She smoothes her rumpled wings and heads towards the common room, drawing her katanas as she goes.*

I understand the reasoning behind the kissies and such but Spam? But it is not my place to question the orders of a superior officer.

*Sees TheRealMe and stands at attention.

Thank you, sir, for the training on the Spam-slinger, sir. I believe that I could be a valuable asset to the Sereni-Tree and I offer to you my life. My purpose on this ship is to protect you and the captain from harm. I request the honor of being your personal guard and protector. Plus I make a mean cup of coffee.

*Salutes hoping to help the cause.

It seems so quiet here. I wonder what is going on the other ship?

*As EvilStatic rounds a corner on his way to the common room, Darth Ath knocks the pistol out of ES's hand. Fast as lightning, ES tries to draw his other gun, but Darth Ath pushes him with the Force, smashing him into the wall. ES's pistol spins off to the side.*

"No one knows which side you're on, huh? Fool."

*As ES tries to get back to his feet the hall is bathed in a veridian glow as Darth Ath ignites his lightsaber.*

"I'm afraid I cannot let you interfere with our plans.*

*Darth Ath strides over to EvilStatic and raises his lightsaber for the killing blow. ES manages to roll out of the way, the lightsaber cutting a groove into the deck where ES was moments before.*

"Amusing. But I doubt you can keep this up for long."

*DA raises his lightsaber once more.*

I have a theory that the kissies generate fields of happiness around them, in a manner similar to Care Bears, Smurfs, and other such freakish, sickening creatures. That may be useful to our operation, by weakening or blinding our dark sides.

'So when do we board their ship?' Jazaf asks.
After witnessing Soul bravely phase through to face-off against his evil side, Jazaf is filling up with energy just waiting to get at his own darker twin.
