A scream came through the sky as three figures fell to the planets surface.Its was Ianto, followed by Jack, followed by Gwen.
"Jack..." Ian to said, sitting up slowly. "Where'd she send us, where the hell are we?" jack was sniffing the ground, running soil through his fingers. Then he cursed.
"We are on planet j-17,11413, or Vallckree, or, the most hostile environment known to man, animal, machine, or variations there upon. But there is some good news. I know the woman who owns the planet. If this is the right year that is. Although... ehhh..." Jacks face pulled in displeasure. "She hates my guts and has several times said she'll see me rot in pieces... so... I'll be honest, I'm hoping it's not the right year." a horn sounded and they were surrounded by evil looking creatures on a variation of horseback. Jack paused.
"********."
"Whats wrong, Jack... whats wrong?"
"Oh... oh god, no, no.... of crap... I was wrong. this is worse, much much worse then Vallckree..."
"why's that worse, how is this worse?"
"We are on Saltry, where the queen of torture lives, she also hates my guts... can't remember why... Oh yeah, I stole her heart." One of the riders removed their helm and grinned. the horse was unhappy.
"Why hello." She said in a soft voice.
"Hi... Carla, is your mistress still in power." He was holding both Gwen and Ianto in a very protective manner.
"No." she said bluntly. "She isn't."
"Do you hate me?" He asked her. she laughed and leaned forward.
"I don't know. Who's the eye candy??" She asked, looking at Ianto.
"Jack." He whispered.
"Jack?" She laughed. "He doesn't even know your real name?!" She laughed.
"Carla, if you must hurt someone hurt me, not them, please... please." He said, looking at her. "I lost Ianto once, and I know I can't lose him again..." She laughed.
"Well, lets see you tore out my mistresses heart, slit her throat threw her into a mine shaft shot her three time sin the back, and incinerated her lovers in the fires of Hel. Uhm... yeah. Lets see do I bloody hate you?" She paused and started laughing. then she dismounted, pulling out a gun. Jack backed up, holding tighter to Iantos hand.
"If it weren't for you my mistress, my lover, my... everything, would still be queen here. I bloody ******** love you Jack. I ******** hated that two timing son of a whore and horses a**. she took all the credit for all of my inventions. If it weren't for you..." She paused, her face close to his. "I would still have to wear that thing, that damn collar. You don't even realize how much pain I was in every day."
"I can fathom."
"Sure." She smiled. "What language do they speak?"
"who?"
"your friends." She grinned, laughing.
"English."
"good, thats an easy one. Hello." She said waving at them. "sO... what name are you going by now days?"
"Captain. Jack Harkness." she giggled loudly. "What."
"Nothing!" She chuckled.
"Liar what are you laughing at?"
"hehe, Captain." She laughed again, the grin spreading over her face in jubily.
"Madam?"
"Oh, i forgot them, at ease, soldiers." she said and the creatures on horse back lowered their weapons.
"Madam?"
"What? I am Madam Red" She asked, tyucking her gun back silently away with a broad grin. "We've lingered here for too long. Come on." She said nodding for them to follow her. she leaned against her horse.
"You remember how to steer one?' She asked, chucking at him.
"Well yes..." She suddenly took a deep breath through her nose.
"You two, Jack and female friend, on the horse. Eyecandy this way, with me." She said quickly, pulling the mask on, she whistled. A winged animal went to her and landed in-front of her. It looked a lot like an ostrich, but more sleek.
"Uhm... Alright." Ianto said, he hated heights.
"Don;t worry, we wont fly." She said, and Ianto relaxed a little. That was until an arrow whizzed past his face. "Crap!" She exclaimed, yanking Ianto up on the animal with her. They all took off running, quite fast. the bird had too much weight on its back to go full speed so it was falling behind.
"How long have you known Jack?" She asked.
"A few years."
"How long have you been shagging him?"
"Uh-uhm...."
"I'm sorry is that awkward for you?"
"A little, its been a while... how did you know?"
"You smell like him. Well, you smell like you have strong emotions for him. But you also smell like soil. Have you died recently?"
"No, thats probably Jacks smell, he's died a lot this week."
"No... its yours." She answered. "You were poisoned." She said, smelling his again.
"Well I don't remember being poisoned or dyeing, so..."
"I'm sorry, never mind its probably Jack's smell love." She answered. "Whats your name, Eye candy?"
"Ianto Jones." He answered, smiling. "How do you know Jack?"
"oh... well in the 51 century he and his partner Elsie came to this planet. I had just been caught trying to run away for the... well millionth time. Jack had been caught in a lie and he had to get away. My mistress was a homicidal b***h that really hated... everything. Well that was until Jack came into the picture. She had been very very horny, and wished to make him her slave. My mistress was made out of a type of mutaited tissue that was worth a very large fortune, especially the heart. Long story short Jack got close to her and stole her heart."
"So earlier when you said he stole your mistresses heart... you meant literally?"
"Yes, she was pissed and said she'd give me my freedom and take me home, if I went and killed Jack, got back her body parts... and tortured his Partner." She paused. "So I went after him... I found his partner, whom he had left when she had been wounded. I found him on his way to the station on this planet. On the other side. He wouldn't give me that heart, but he did offer me something better."
"What?"
"A night with him, the bloody collar off, and his partner, freedom." She paused and laughed. "Parts of that I refused."
"Like which parts?"
"Well, all of it."
"Why, if you wanted the collar off so badly?"
"The collar would latch onto whomever had touched my mistress last, which was Jack. the collar would have killed him slowly. It was designed to keep Mistwalkers, me, from phasing out. Our bodies are made more of mist and air then solid materials. It keeps us like I am now, but worse. Its extremely painful, torture. It would have solidified his blood, water in his body, every thing not solid would have become solid. And I rejected the night with him because... well... I had no interest in him. And i suppose I was still loyal to my mistress." She shrugged. "The collar kept me on this planet."
"I see. "
"I returned home to her with the knowledge of how to get the collar off. I tricked her and she ended up getting the collar around her neck. The bloody b***h is still locked in the prison beneath the castle." She laughed, grinning broadly.
"Wow..."
"I kept tabs on him for a while. I wonder if all the rumors are true..." She said, more to her self. She became aware that they were being followed, and they were falling quite a ways behind, so was Jack and Gwen's 'horse'.
"Ianto, remain calm, alright, but we may get captured."
"What?!" He exclaimed.
"Calm, I said!!" She snarled. snapping the reins harshly, making the bird quicken its step. The bird suddenly fell, as did the horse. Red tumbled from its back and landed gracefully on her feet. She drew two of her weapons and took a fighters stance.
"Give up Red. You are completely surrounded."
"Yalteck, you came in person this time." She laughed. "And you will lose again." She laughed again going to Jack, Ianto and Gwen.
"Do not move." she pulled three guns out and handed one to each of them.
"I haven't seen one of these beauties in years!"
"150 or so?" She asked smiling.
"Yeah..." he laughed.
"Good boy. Try not to shoot me and keep your eyes open." Her eyes had turned completely white and the area was filling up with smoke. she soon vanished.
"Turn off your senser equipment, she wont come up." a mans voice said. Soon after that screams were heard and soon the fog vanished and twenty men lay in a pile.
"You made four mistakes." She said, standing in front of a man. "1. You brought stun guns to take down a creature that was born on the mist planet, in the electric galaxy. 2. you came yourself, which I applaud you for. 3. you actually shot me which makes me ******** pissed. and finally- 4. You brought twenty men to bring me down, ******** offensive." She smiled, and the man glared.
"Its not like we are going to surrender to you."
"I want this war to end, Yal. Because I want to go home."
"You've been here for three centuries, why would you want to go back to your empty planet?"
"Its not empty, jsut because all of my family members are dead, the animals are still there, buildings..." She had a sadness in her voice. "The sky." Her bottom lip trembled. Her troops returned to her, four had been wounded or killed.
"Report?" She asked.
"3 dead, 1 wounded, Red." One answered.
"thats not good." She said, hand over her side. A brilliant silver was leaking past her fingers.
"Madam, you've been hurt!" the soldier dismounted.
"I'm fine, see to them." She ordered and the soldier hurried to Ianto Jack and Gwen. Gwen had been hit in the back with an arrow. She walked to them a little unsteadily.
"Jack... are you alright?" She asked coughing.
"Yes... but Gwen..."
"She'll be fine. Savein is a brilliant healer." She answered. "But the arrows are dipped in poison, she;s going to be very non happy when she wakes up, love." she said, before she collapsed against Jack.
"Red?" Jack said, pulled her over to her back. He lifted her hand to look at the wound, it was pretty bad. It was covered in silver blood, with dark rings around it.
"She'll be fine." Savein said, lifting Gwen up onto a horse. She was unconscious. "Red has regenerative abilities."
"This would fatal to any mistwalker."
"Yes well, she's not a normal mist walker, she's wearing a wig." Jack pulled on her hair and sure enough her 'black' hair fell out.
"Oh god... she's the one that..." He covered his mouth. Her hair looked like the universe. She took a sudden breath and sat up.
"You lied to me." He hissed.
"I lie to everyone."
"You aren't Red... your... her. You said last time that your hair turned black out of sorrow."
"I wasn't lying." She stood up slowly.
"Alright then, but you are her, aren't you?" The mistwalker paused at her horse. "Aren't you?" Jack demanded.
"Yes, alright, I'm her." she snapped.
"How could you kill so many... of your own kind?!" Jack yelled, grabbing her arms. She shook him off.
"You have no right to talk." She hissed angrily, mounting and with out another word she road off.
"Mount." Savein said, getting on the horse with Gwen. e road after her and the rest moved out, leaving two horses in their wake.
"Come on, get on the horse Ianto." Jack said, shaking his head. Ianto climbed on the horse and jack to the reins. they road away, Jack steering both horses.
"Who is she Jack?"
"in the 52 century all of the mistwalkers suddenly vanished from their planet. All contact broke, everything. They sent people to go investigate. I was one of them. It was... a scene of goolish slaughter. A creature had been conjured from the depths of Hel, and it had killed everyone on that planet, with out any reasons. 4 walkers escaped. I had always jsut thought Red was one of the lucky ones that had been sold into slavery in the 51st century. But... She was the only creature that could have brought that creature back from the darkness."
