Somthing snapped inside Owen at the point.He had been trying to supress those thoughts but he could not help himself.He was filled with a sudden rage that he didn't know he had.

He spun the woman around and shoved her,hard, into the hull of the ship.He brought his sword around and gut a gash in her arm.He then brought the sword up to her neck again.

"Whoever you are, you are not Jaina"

And then suddenly, Owen heared a mocking voice.

"You are correct.....brother"

Liquid paused inside the hull of the ship before coming out.

"You are correct.....brother"

He steped out and into the sunlight.

"Happy to see me eh <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Owen<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->?"

Aiden glared at him for a moment and then brought his sword as if to cut Liquid's throat.A sword suddenly appared in Liquid's hand and he deflected the blow.

"You are getting a little slow Owen."

The two brothers stood there, swords in hand, preparing to fight to the death.

Jade groans but remains knocked out.

A moment later, her body is gone, having disappeared without a sound or a trace.

Cairo, Ben, and Blaith all had bad feelings at the same time...they ran through the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Big Boss<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> amd met each other halfway...

"Is the engine fixed, Ben."
He nodded a yes.
"Good...you boys hold on back there. I'm flying out to that ship. Something's gone wrong. I can feel it."

They parted ways as each ran to their post. Cairo slid into the pilot's seat and cranked up the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Big Boss<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->...she lifted up and then took off towards were Owen said they were going...

Jaya had slid down into a sitting position once Owen let her go. She looked on her arm where the fool had cut her...blood trickled steadily from the gash. She winced at the pain of moveing it, it hurt too badly. Was it just the pain from the wound? If it was, why did her head hurt so badly? It was like a bad hangover..what was going on?

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> I have to get up. He'll kill Liquid. I can't let the blaggard do that! Must get up! Have to get up..<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Then the sight of her own blood started to get to her...a familiar dizziness came over her....everyone's voices mingled into one loud noise....a blackness swirled around her.

...<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Thud!...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->and then Jai was out cold.

Jade suddenly reappears kneeling next to Jaina. She reaches out and brushes a lock of hair from her sisters eyes, then remembers this is not her sister. She uses the Force to heal the cut in her palm for right now. She then uses more Force on Jais memory, then stops.

"It didnt work last time, why should it now?" she mutters softly to herself.

Unholstering her blaster, she sets it to stun and stands up, keeping watch over Jai, or Jaya rather.

The two Snake's were locked in an epic battle.It was like Jedi versus Sith, but without lightsabers.Their swords clanged and clashed.It would only be won if one of them made a mistake.

Liquid Snake's voice rang out.

"You are getting rusty Owen, may I call you Owen?"

Owen screamed in rage and executed Striking Sarlacc.

"Why, thank you dear brother.Do you want to know what my name is.I do have a name"

"NO!"

Owen hit again with Striking Sarlacc but this time Liquid countered with Jumping Vornskyr.He jumped over Owen and landed behind him.Owen's reflexes were lightning fast, he bent backwards untill he was almost to the ground.He parried Liquid's strike that would have been deadly.After parrying he rolled backwards and hit Liquid solidly with his foot.Liquid also rolled backwards and came up on his feet, ready for more.

"My name is Ethan Aiden.I am pleased to meet you,Owen"

Owen charged, it was time to end this.

Liquid, or Ethan, responded by using Slashing Wampa.He slashed in a horizontal cut.Owen ducked quickly under this and executed his own Slashing Wampa.His sword caught Ethan in the stomach squarely.His brother doubled over and Owen,his momentum still carrying him forward,reversed his sword and stabbed Ethan through the back.His brother fell facedown in the sand,unmoving.

Owen managed to walk over to where EJ and Jaya were.His eyes were hazy and his moved his hand to reveal a deep cut in his side.He was loosing a lot of blood and he needed medical facilities.He fell to his knees and then facedown in the sand.Now EJ had two unconcious people next to her.

And at that moment, the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Big Boss<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> flew over a sand dune and landed a few meters away.

Cairo came out running toward the hurt and sleeping Owen and the brainwashed Jaina.

Cairo and EJ got Owen and Jaina aboard the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Big Boss<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. EJ watched over Jai...who was mumbleing incoherent nothings in her sleep. Cairo watched over Owen...who had been nursed and stitched up just fine.

Owen laid on the bunk in his personal quarters.He opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Cairo.

"I love you"

Cairo smiled down at him and brushed a lock of hair off his forehead, "I love you too, Owen."

Later on, once the crew was assembled, Jai, who was back to her crazy, brash, Solo self called a de-briefing...this was the conclusion:
1. Jai was fine. Back to herself, Liquid's meds had worn off.
2. Liquid/Ethan was dead...d-e-a-d.
3. Owen and Cairo were a couple, which Jai was shocked to find out.

Jai took over and boarded everyone back on the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Big Boss<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. The wild adventure was over, everything was well, it was time to go home to Delph...
