Three to Get Ready

<snip>
Jaxx and Evelina

“Not enjoying yourshelf, shir?” Grunted a gruff, rhino-like, guard at Jaxx. His voice was not dissimilar to Bedge’s.
Jaxx lifted his head. Unable to speak he tilted it, questioningly.
“Yeah, what do you mean?” Asked Evelina on his behalf.
“Well…” the big guard began “… I fought you’d be at leasht takin’ advantage of the slaves and stuff.” He nodded at Evelina. “But… If you don’t wan’ ‘er… Can I ‘ave a…”
Before he could finish the sentence, Evelina had smoothly lifted Jaxx’s helmet, and planted the most pleasant of smackeroonies on his very surprised lips.

“Oh…” Said the guard sadly. “It was worf an arsk, anyway.” Pouting, he wandered off to go and try his luck elsewhere.
Whoa, Eve-babe! This is awesome! Thought Jaxx.
“Well I wasn’t gonna go off with him, was I!?” Teased Evelina, quickly pulling the surf-shark’s helmet back down, before anyone saw his face.

Jaxx blushed as he was feeling warm and cuddly from Evelina's kiss. It was a good thing she closed his visor or someone might have seen his big goofy smile. As Jaxx was in his happy place, Evelina was watching around and trying to find the other crew members. Jaxx was oblivious to the loud entrance of Katrina and Twalex , but Evelina saw it and quickly knelt down by Jaxx to load his holowhips into his back holster and slide her hand in the pillow to hold one of her two pistols. Then Katrina whispered into Jaxx's ear, "Its ShowTime Jaxx." Jaxx snapped out of his trance as he felt his holowhips in his back.

Ra stood, suddenly all chilling wrath, and swept a hand skywards. “WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?”
Hasina and Jamie exchanged a ‘glance’ from their positions.
Two – who hadn’t spotted our Alex yet – shoved Katrina off him and sat achingly up, brushing shards of glass from his clothes with a groan.
“Merciful Sun-God Ra,” he began, snatching hold of Katrina’s wrist as she began to move away from him. “I have brought you a gift. An alternative, and very lively, version of Katrina, to be harvested for your ritual.” He smiled, turning on the charm.
Ra looked as if he was about to explode with rage. Two's smile fell and he swallowed. “Fresh… meat?” He tried.
Ra erupted.
“AND WHY, ALEXANDER, ARE THERE TWO OF YOU!!????” He bellowed, looking 'tween Twalex and Alex.
Two followed his gaze to the alternate he.

“… Ah.”

Nearly everyone at the table burst into frenzied gossip.
Given little other choice than to act quickly, Jamie Hasina, Evelina, Jaxx and Anubis stalked the edges of the hall, preparing to spring into action. But, before they could, a spiteful voice rang out across the hall, silencing the chatter…

Jacky entered the room. He looked at the chaos.

"Look at all this." He said to nobody. "All this mess. I'm never going to understand all this mess. I don't know why I even try."

Jacky dropped his coat and removed his goggles, carefully.

"I was going to be boiled into soup." He continued to speak to no one in particular. "Soup. Boiled into soup. Heh. Heh heh. Soup."

Jacky whipped his goggles as hard as he could in any general direction. They smacked Jaahday very hard in the back of the head.

"Oh. Well." Jacky said.

Anubis took this time to get into position behind Ra and pretend to be defending him while Jaxx and Evelina slowly moved in to the exit by the golden Anubis Statue. Jaxx gave Evelina her earpiece to put on so they could communicate if separated. Evelina whipsered, "Jaxx can you hear me?" Jaxx responded on his headset, "Loud and clear Eve babe. When these dude get all hard core lay some cover fire for the others Eve babe and I will keep them from the exit." Evelina pulled out her holsters and assault rifle from her bag and put them on so she could arm herself better. Jaxx took this time to get his chains from his bag and arm up as well. Jaxx paused as he watched Evelina putting on her holster.

Evelina stopped as she saw Jaxx gawking at her as she said, "What?"
Jaxx muttered, "Sorry Eve babe its that uh........this is a good look for you." Evelina shook her head and smirked as she said, "Down shark boy. You can gawk later." Jaxx nodded as he got ready and the two of them hid in the shadows of the exit till Anubis made his move.
