In another area, Bo is lying in a bed asleep in a burgundy bustle dress that looks like it came out of the 1800's. Her hair is pinned up and she is wearing black gloves and a diamond collared necklace with matching earrings. She wakes up. "Why is it hard to breathe?" She looks down at her stomach. "These are not my clothes." She gets up and looks into a full length mirror. "I must be dreaming," she says, shaking her head. She sees a glimpse of a blonde haired woman pass by the door. "Tamsin?" She exits the room and into a grand hall with many corridors and doors. "I can tell I'm going to have so much fun." She sees the woman again going around a corner and follows.
Tamsin and Dyson are in the middle of dodging fire from the dragon. "My weapons aren't even putting a dent in this thing," says Tamsin, hiding behind rubble.
"Well if there's anyone that can take down a dragon, it's us partner," says Dyson.
"So confidence is our weapon now? I'm about to become a KFC recipe, and he thinks confidence will save us."
"It will."
Tamsin sighs and shakes her head. "Okay. Let's kill the damn thing."
Bo is still following the woman when she stops and leans against the wall, taking a breath. She closes her eyes and when she opens them, she is back lying in the bed. "What the hell?" she says, sitting up.
Back with the dragon. Tamsin uses a weapon as an anchor, sliding down the dragon's chest with it, cutting open its flesh. As it bends from the pain, Dyson jumps up and forces his hand through the opening, penetrating its heart. They both move out of the way as the dragon's colossal body hits the ground with a huge thud.
"I guess confidence does go a long way," says Tamsin.
"I told you so," says Dyson, with a smile. Dyson looks over to the dragon. "So partner, what is this place?" He turns to face Tamsin, but she is no longer there. He frowns. "Tamsin?" He looks around for her and hears someone. Dyson runs over to the direction and sees Kenzi lying on the floor. "Kenzi," he says, helping her up.
"Oh D man, I'm so glad I found you. I was in, oh god I think I'm gonna hurl," she says, running off to the side. She comes back over. "I was in some major vortex Star Trek shit. And is that a fucking dragon? I'm so glad I was in that vortex shit."
"Kenzi, you okay?" he asks. She nods her head. "Have you seen Bo, or Tamsin?"
"Last time I saw Bo she was cray, setting bitches on fire. And Tamsin did a Houdini."
"We have to find them," says Dyson, all growly.
"Okay D man, we gon find them. We just need to find a way out of this room."
Back in the bedroom. Bo is back in bed for a fourth time. "What the hell kind of place is this?" She starts to get up. "Oh oww," she says, sitting back down from pain.
"You are hurt," says someone.
Bo looks up. "Tamsin."
She is dressed in similar garb, but not as fancy as Bo's attire. "You need to heal," she says.
"Well, I didn't think it was that bad. The not being able to breathe must've concealed my pain," says Bo.
"Let me be of assistance to you."
"I don't think now is such a good time. And why are you talking like that?"
"Allow me to alleviate your pain."
"Tamsin, we're kind of trapped. I think we should be looking for a way out of here."
"I want to taste you."
Bo looks surprised. "Oh wow. Um, well I guess, when you put it that way. We are in a bedroom after all."
Dyson and Kenzi are still looking for an exit when they are suddenly transported to an empty coliseum. "What in the gladiator, how the hell did we get here?" asks Kenzi, looking around.
"I don't know," says Dyson.
"I'm already getting bad vibes."
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."
A horn sounds. Then a burly build male with a long blonde beard and hair and blue eyes, wearing a helmet that arcs into a point, comes out. He carries a spear in one hand and a round shield on his other arm. A cape made out of animal skin drapes his back.
"Is that a Viking?" asks Kenzi.
"Ivar the Boneless," says Dyson.
"Didn't he die like a trillion years ago?"
"In 873."
"Like I said a trillion years ago. Dude, he's like older than Jesus." The fighter starts running towards them. "Shit he can run fast for a dead guy," says Kenzi.
"Kenzi, find a safe area. I'll handle him." Dyson growls and transforms into wolf man mode, running towards the fighter.
Bo is very much engaged in another kind of clash, one of two bodies. "We never…you haven't…what are you doing to me…I'm so not complaining…" says Bo, in between moans.
A battered Tamsin is in a dungeon. Her arms are chained to the ceiling, her wrists bleeding from the shackles. A Valkyrie punches her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Another Valkyrie throws water on Tamsin.
"Had enough yet?" asks the chief Valkyrie.
"The only torment I've had all night has been staring at your face," says Tamsin. The chief Valkyrie hits her in the face, breaking skin with her fist. Tamsin spits blood out of her mouth.
"I am just warming up," says the chief Valkyrie. Then a Valkyrie brings over a tray of torturing tools.
Dyson has won the fight, and Kenzi, his biggest fan is cheering him on. She high-fives Dyson. A Valkyrie flies down on a winged horse, collects the fighter and flies away.
"Whoa did you just see that shit?" says Kenzi, next to Dyson. "You think Tamsin has one of those too? Because if she does, I so want to ride one."
The horn sounds again.
"They can't be serious right?" says Kenzi.
Three fighters come out, carrying axes, a long sword, and spiked ball flails.
"Let me guess, more dead Vikings," says Kenzi. "They don't look like they came to play either."
"Ragnar Lodbrok, Halfdan and Bagsecg," says Dyson, looking strange. "These are random pairings."
"Well Godspeed D man," says Kenzi, running off.
Back with still occupied Bo. "This is all good…and all…damn you're aggressive…but don't you think that we should be finding a…oh wow…what are you doing with your tongue?"
Returning to the torture chamber. Tamsin is now bleeding everywhere. "I do not hear you talking so tough now. What happened Tamsin?" asks the chief Valkyrie.
"Do what you want to me. You can never hurt me," says Tamsin.
"I think I can. What is it that you desire the most Tamsin? Is it His Grace's daughter? Are you afraid of losing her? Being abandoned by her? Or are you afraid of not being able to be there for her when she needs you the most?"
Tamsin frowns. "You lie."
"Do I?"
And image surfaces in front of Tamsin showing Bo fatally injured and in agonizing pain.
"No, she's not. She can't be," says Tamsin, shaking her head.
"She is. She came for you. Did you think that she would walk into our realm unharmed?"
"No, he wouldn't do that," says Tamsin.
"You think so? He sent you to retrieve her did he not? You failed. He has become angered by your disobedience and even more so your defilement of his daughter. He punishes. She is no exception."
"I don't believe you. He needs her."
"He may not kill her, but she will wish that she were dead," says the chief Valkyrie. Tamsin fights with her bonds. "So your greatest happiness is also your greatest source of suffering?" she says, leaning her head to the side with a pondering look. "Strange." She looks at Tamsin fighting with her chains. "Your struggle is futile. Nothing can break those restraints."
Tamsin looks like her heart is shattering. She hears Bo call out for her. "Take it away."
"Now why would I do a thing like that?"
Back in the bedroom. The session has concluded. "All healed," says Bo.
"I am glad. Was my performance satisfactory?"
Bo looks at her oddly. "Of course you were great Tamsin. It felt different though. But I still enjoyed it."
She smiles at Bo, putting back on her dress.
"I hate that I have to wear this," says Bo, trying to put the dress back on. "I guess it's better than running around naked." She is struggling with it.
"Allow me to assist you."
"Um okay sure. You seem real comfortable with the dresses," says Bo.
She smiles. "That I am." She finishes. "You are complete."
Bo shakes her head. "Thanks Tamsin. I swear it's like you bumped your head or something. I get the accent. But."
"Does my manner of speaking displease you?"
"No. It's just. I can't put my finger on it, but something's off. Maybe it's this place. Look, the faster we get out of here, the better I'll feel. Can we find a route that won't take me back to this room?" says Bo.
Inside the torture chamber. Tamsin looks very pale and weak. "What are you doing?" asks the chief Valkyrie, to Tamsin. She orders the other Valkyries to leave and walks over to Tamsin, lifting her head. The chief Valkyrie looks sickened. "Have you lost your will?" She removes her hand from Tamsin. "Pathetic." She walks away from her. "You are not worthy of even death."
Back to Bo. They are walking through several corridors. "Are we in a giant maze?" asks Bo.
"We are going in the right direction I assure you."
"Right. And what direction might that be because I feel like we've been walking for hours."
"It has only been a few moments. I am taking you to your comrades."
"What?" says Bo, stopping her. "You mean to tell me that Kenzi and Dyson are here too?"
"Do you not want to see them?"
"Of course I do. But, never mind. Just take me to them," says Bo.
"Bo, if you do not wish to walk, we could teleport there."
"You mean to tell me that we could've teleported this whole time?"
"I thought it pleasant to walk with you."
"Okay, well however sweet. Your cuteness won't get you out of this."
"May I have just one kiss?"
Bo looks at her oddly. "Of course you can. You know you don't have to ask." Bo looks like she's just had an epiphany. "Oh, I know what you're doing, and." She is cut off by the kiss, closing her eyes.
Torture chamber. "You would give your very life for her?" asks the chief Valkyrie. Tamsin doesn't respond. "Why would you do such a thing?"
"Because I love her."
"That is the most asinine notion that I have ever heard."
"It would be to someone who hasn't experienced it."
"What about this love? All I see is irrationality and imprudent conduct."
"It is a force more powerful than anything you could ever imagine in any realm. It makes you feel like you can do and be everything all at once. Even defy the one you are obligated to serve for all of your lifetimes."
"Pitiful. You are no Valkyrie. You are a disgrace to the very name and meaning. And to think that I ever held you in high regard. I am better than you in every way."
Tamsin lifts her head up. "I will always be better than you."
"How is that? You are the one in bonds."
"Because I have something that you don't."
"Amuse me."
"I have a heart. Just needed to be reminded."
"Heart or not, it still will not save you."
"I'm getting out of these chains. And I'm going after her."
"I would like to see you try." The Valkyrie laughs.
"Laugh now. But I'm not letting you or these stop me any longer." She starts pulling hard on the restraints. The chief Valkyrie looks on in enjoyment. Tamsin looks at her. Her face enraged. Then her eyes burn gold so brightly that the Valkyrie covers her eyes. She starts backing away. "I sense fear," says Tamsin. The restraints break.
"Impossible."
Tamsin slowly walks over to her. "Well what do you know, love can set you free." She punches the Valkyrie with so much force it cracks her entire armor, sending her through multiple walls.
Bo is teleported to the arena, still kissing. "Wow, now that's what I call a kiss," she says, smiling. She looks over and sees a bruised Dyson fighting off three fighters with Kenzi trying her best to help. Bo gets closer to them and sucks the chi out of all three fighters until they collapse.
"Bo, it's you," says Kenzi, hugging her. "And what do you have on? It's not bad like the last dress. It reminds me of some Elizabethan Victorian eraishness. Ooh are those real diamonds," says Kenzi, touching Bo's jewelry.
"I'm glad to see you're still you Kenzi," says Bo.
"Bo, Tamsin. It's good to see that you two are okay," says Dyson.
"You too," says Bo, touching a scar on his face.
"Okay now that all of us are back together again. Let's get the hell out of here before some even crazier shit goes down," says Kenzi.
"I couldn't agree more," says Dyson.
Suddenly you can hear swords clashing together and things breaking like the ultimate battle is occurring.
"You hear that? That's exactly the type of shit I'm talking about," says Kenzi."
"I have to go. She needs me."
Bo looks over. "Tamsin, what are you talking about? Who needs you?" she asks.
"Partner, what's going on?" asks Dyson.
"My sister. She is in trouble."
Kenzi is looking at her oddly. "Wait you have a sister?"
"I must go. Thank you," she says, to Bo. She rushes off. Bo appears to be in shock.
"Did she just leave like that?" says Kenzi, dumbfounded. "Mead. I have a sudden urge for mead dude. And is it just me, but Tamsin seemed to be a little different. Like too polite different."
"We have to go after her. I'm not leaving without her," says Bo.
"We know, let's go," says Kenzi. "I still can't believe she has a sister. If she's anything like Tamsin, that would be such an injustice to the world. No offense. But it would be."
Bo is about to run when she stops herself. "Can one of you take this dress off of me?" Kenzi looks at her funny. "I promise there are garments underneath." Kenzi takes it off of her. Bo in her slip takes the sword from Kenzi and cuts slits on each side of it. "Alright, I'm ready." They run after Tamsin.
Before they can exit the area, the fight is brought to them "Wait isn't that Tamsin? How the hell did she have time to change clothes that fast?" says Kenzi. They see Tamsin and another Valkyrie fighting a crowd of Valkyries. The gang joins in.
Tamsin, who hasn't transformed, is fighting the other Valkyries with two swords. The Valkyrie who is fighting alongside her also fights with two swords, her face shield covering. The two stand back to back, their moves are mirror images of the other. Dyson is cutting through armor with his bare hands. Kenzi is ducking and dodging. Bo is chi sifting and sword fighting. Tamsin sees Bo and is relieved, so relieved that she lets her guard down long enough to be stabbed through the stomach. On the ground, she looks up and sees the chief Valkyrie standing over her.
"Let us see if your love can save you now," says the chief Valkyrie, lifting her sword.
Suddenly swords go through her armor. As the swords raises so does her body, with blood spewing from out of her mouth. "It has," says the person, holding her in the air. The swords swings forward and the chief Valkyrie's body sails across, sliding over the ground. The person extends her hand, and Tamsin takes it. "Are we even now sister?"
"We are more than even," says Tamsin.
The horn sounds.
"Bitch, a Drider Queen better not pop out," says Kenzi.
Tamsin runs over to Bo and embraces her. "I thought you were dying," she says.
Bo looks at her oddly. "Tamsin, what are you talking about, you've been right with me the entire time."
"In spirit," says Tamsin, nodding. "You were with me too."
The group is fighting alongside each other the mob of Valkyries, and now Berserkers are running towards them, carrying two-handed axes.
"Who the fuck are they?" asks Kenzi.
"Huscarls," yells Dyson.
"The who the what?" says Kenzi.
"They were the elite guard of the former Kings Cnut and Harold II. Kenzi, stand behind me. They're Berserkers," says Dyson.
"What the hell is that?" asks Kenzi.
"You'll see when they start fighting us," says Dyson. "Hurry and get behind me." Kenzi runs behind him.
As the Berserkers approach Dyson yells for everyone to hold the line. The Berserkers begin fighting them in a frenzied and infuriated manner. Swinging and hitting wildly like they are high, drunk, and don't care about life at the same time.
"Shit D man, these mothafuckas are crazy," yells Kenzi.
"I have an idea," says Tamsin, to her sister. She looks at the Berserkers. Then her face transforms along with her sister's underneath the shield, taking in a large group of Berserkers. The Berserkers rush in front of the gang and start attacking anyone after the group.
"Nice," says Kenzi.
"This should buy us a little time," says Tamsin. "Let's go."
They reach a safe distance.
"You all must go now. This assault will continue unless you all leave," says the sister.
"What about you?" asks Tamsin.
The gang is looking like they heard a ghost.
"Tamsin, are you on that stuff girl?" asks Kenzi.
"He will return soon. There is only one way out," says the sister.
"Don't even think about it. You know you'll die," says Tamsin.
"I mean I'm not judging, but you do know what they say about people having conversations with themselves right?" asks Kenzi.
"Tamsin, you're freaking me out," says Bo.
Tamsin's sister takes off her helmet and everyone does a double take.
"Tamsin, how come you in two places at the same time?" asks Kenzi.
"Tamsin and I, we are one in the same," says the sister.
"Wait, I didn't know there were two of you," says Bo, looking guilty. "Everything makes so much more sense now."
"I can so tell the difference, one is well mannered, one is not, one is well mannered, the other is not," says Kenzi, nodding her head.
Tamsin walks over to her sister. "I can't let you do this," she says.
"Was it not you who taught me about love? If it were not for you I would have never known what it could be like sister. For that I will forever be grateful. And you," she says, looking at Bo. "You showed me what love feels like."
Tamsin frowns at Bo, who is wearing a look of shame.
"Bo you banged Tamsin's sister," says Kenzi, mouth opened. "Now that's low even for you."
"What? How, how was I supposed to know that she, she…They're identical Kenzi. And plus I was injured, and needed to heal," says Bo. She looks at Tamsin. "Okay, I really did think she was you. This is so very seriously deserving of a pass."
"It is not Bo's fault. I was not forthright with her, and for that I do apologize. I always wondered what she would be like and it was everything that I could imagine if not more so."
"Oh, why thank you," says Bo, with a smile and flirty eyes. She sees the look on Tamsin's face. "For healing me...in my time of dire need. Thanks."
The sister smiles and nods her head at Bo. "You are quite welcome."
"Damn Bo, multi-dimensional pimping," says Kenzi. "Bet you can't eat just one now can you?"
Bo gives Kenzi a now-isn't-a-good-time-for-jokes look.
"Now that that's over. Heads up. We've got company," says Tamsin.
The Valkyries reached them and fighting resumes. Suddenly a dark mist forms high above them.
"He is here. You all must go now. I am sorry sister. This is the only way." She begins using her life force to create a portal.
"No!" yells Tamsin, fighting off Valkyries. The mist is moving closer to them.
Kenzi is absorbed through the portal first, then Dyson. Bo looks up and sees the mist. "What the hell is that coming towards us?" says Bo.
Tamsin looks up. "Shit! Bo jump in," she yells.
The Valkyries try to stop Tamsin's sister as Bo goes in, her body halfway through the portal. "Tamsin!" yells Bo.
"Hurry sister. I do not know how much longer I will last." Her body no longer tangible.
Tamsin shakes her head and grabs Bo's hands. Now Bo is inside of the portal with half of Tamsin's upper body, the rest of Tamsin is in the other realm being pulled back in by Valkyries.
"Bo let go. I'm not going to make it."
"I'm not going to lose you again," says Bo.
"Please do it while you still can. The portal can close any second. I'll be fine."
"But I won't. I'm not letting you go. And if you love me, you wouldn't give up so easily. You would do anything you can to be with me."
And with those words Tamsin's eyes spark. She closes her eyes and wills the Valkyries off of her. The portal closes and everything goes black.
The gang is laid out inside the Dal. Trick is passed out over the counter. Dyson and Kenzi are lying a few feet away from each other on the floor. Bo, who is back in the clothes that she left in, is lying next to Tamsin, their hands still holding one another. They start waking up slowly one by one. Dyson sits up shaking his head, grunting.
Kenzi sits up holding the side of her head. "I don't remember anyone saying that it would be cloudy with a chance of pounding headache," says Kenzi. "What day is it?"
Bo opens her eyes, slowly sitting up. Tamsin does the same. They look at their hands gripped together and both frown, snatching them away. "Can someone tell me what the hell happened?" asks Bo, still frowning.
"I don't know myself," says Dyson. He helps Kenzi up.
"I hope this wasn't another parasite episode," says Tamsin. She gets up and extends her hand to Bo and at the same time wondering why she is doing so. Bo takes her offer, looking at Tamsin strangely.
Trick walks over to them. "What's the last thing any of you remember?" he asks.
"I remember not having on this outfit," says Kenzi.
"Speaking of clothes, are those my new jeans?" asks Tamsin, looking at Bo. Bo looks down at herself surprised. "Jacket, shirt and boots," says Tamsin, frowning.
"Well they aren't mine. Wait, why do I have these on and how?" says Bo.
"You know what, keep them, there's no telling what they've been through," says Tamsin, looking a bit disgusted.
"Amen to that sister," says Kenzi.
"Hey, I'm standing right here. And I normally wouldn't be caught dead in anything you own. Trick what the hell is going on?" asks Bo.
"Well I was here at the bar as usual," he says.
"I was here with Lauren before she left," says Dyson.
"Lauren. She and I, we broke up, I mean we decided to go on a break with each other for awhile," says Bo. Tamsin looks like she wants to gag. "And I was at home, packing her things into a box, about to get really drunk."
"Then I showed up just in time to see that sad sad little box," says Tamsin, smirking, shaking her head.
Everyone looks over to Kenzi. "Don't look at me. I didn't cast any spells or call on anyone this time. Plus, I can't even remember where and what the hell I was doing. But no funny stuff. I just know that I didn't have this on," says Kenzi. "I do remember that Tikbalang shit." She looks at her phone for the date. "Yep Tikbalang take out day."
"This doesn't make any sense," says Dyson. "We all remember the same night but we're all in different clothes. And it feels like so much time has passed, but it hasn't. What can do this?"
"Something or someone very powerful," says Tamsin. Bo is looking at her with burning blue eyes. At first Tamsin grimaces, then she relaxes, she grimaces, then relaxing again.
"I agree," says Trick. "It could have been a temporal shift in our dimension which could explain the feeling of passing time but in reality it could have been just a matter of hours."
"English Trick," says Kenzi.
"A shift in time and space. Think of Back to the Future Kenzi," says Trick.
"Ah yes. Me understands now," says Kenzi. "But how come I don't remember anything?"
"Something didn't want us to," says Tamsin. She feels her neck, grabbing a necklace, looking at it. Tamsin looks at Bo and sees that she has on the same one. She hurriedly snatches it off and puts it in her pocket.
"This is mind blowing. Am I gonna meet my earlier self, I want to give her some tips? Me guess not. So, does that mean that we're going to have the same outcome later?" asks Kenzi.
"By the very fact that we've been sent back with wiped out memories means that that future is no longer a possibility. However, whatever it was does not mean that there cannot be a variation of it," answers Trick.
"Can whatever that did this keep doing this to us?" asks Bo.
"Yea because I kind of don't want déjà vu for the rest of my life," says Kenzi.
"In all likelihood no. It takes a lot of power to do something like this. Only few beings and fewer objects are capable of it. All of which have rules and limits in and of themselves," says Trick.
"Well whatever happened to us, something definitely came back with me," says Bo.
"What is it Bo?" asks Dyson, concerned.
"I don't know exactly. Something's just not right, at all," says Bo, trying her best to stop looking at Tamsin, who notices. Bo's eyes are constantly shifting from brown to blue. "Very very wrong."
"Bo what the hell?" says Kenzi, eyebrows raised.
"What?" Bo asks, constantly blinking.
"Your eyes are flaring up," says Kenzi. "You had better not be going cray," she says, pointing her finger at Bo in a disciplining manner. "Maybe we should call the Doc to make sure everything is okay with all of us. I don't want any species shit happening to me."
"Good idea, I'll get her on the phone," says Trick, walking away.
Dyson and Kenzi are talking with each other about the whole situation. Bo is still fighting her stare.
Tamsin folds her arms. "Are you hungry for something?" she asks, with her signature smirk.
Bo's eyes glow a steady blue and she stops blinking. "Oh you have no idea," she says, seductively.
Tamsin raises an eyebrow in a sexy manner. "Is that right?" She frowns and shakes her head as if she's trying to wake from a dream.
"Um Trick," says Bo, snapping out of it, eyes returning to brown. She looks over to him. "Hurry."
Kenzi walks over to Bo. "This is by far the craziest shits we've ever been through," she says.
"Who're you telling," says Bo.
"Well, can't say that this has been fun since lost memory and all. So, I'm out of here," says Tamsin.
"You're not going to wait on Lauren?" asks Dyson.
"How about no," says Tamsin, to Dyson. "Besides," she says, looking at Bo, "This shit is getting weirder by the minute the longer I stay here." She looks back to Dyson. "So I'm gonna go."
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then partner," he says.
"Maybe. Maybe not." Tamsin looks at Bo, shakes her head and walks away. Bo goes over to the bar to fetch a drink. Before exiting, Tamsin stops herself like she's forgotten something.
"Everything okay partner?" Dyson asks.
"Yeah," says Tamsin, nodding. She opens the door and looks like she's in pain. "See you later…Babe."
Everyone except Bo is looking around in shock to see who she is referring to. "Okay Baby," says Bo, like nothing happened. Tamsin leaves freaked out. Everyone is looking at Bo, who is about to take her drink when her eyes open wide after realizing what she just said. She swallows the shot, pouring another.
"Holy fucking mouth shit!" says Kenzi. "Trick, my homie, we need to find a way to get my memory back dude."
