There was a big surprise back at the
Black Mesa. Sally Nile returned, and she was bigger than ever. She was very pregnant. Pregnant with
Fafnir's child. She came back and told CHESS that
Dr. Nadir had planned to capture the Umphalos of the World. Somewhere on the earth is the center or Omphalos of the world. This is the point where all magic seeps into our plane of existence.
Needing time to do research, she is confined to bed rest while a battery of tests is given to her to determine her, and her child’s health. It is revealed that she is carrying a tremendous egg. It would have to be removed surgically. She says she is not ready for such a procedure as she needs to figure out the location of the Omphalos.
The Spartan and Oni are selected to be her body guards as they have the closest connection to magic, Spartan being created by Dr. Nadir, and Oni from drinking of the
Black Grail.
After three days of research, Sally figures out that the Omphalos is near Easter Island. They depart immediate as they know Nadir has the jump on them. Calling in Tide, as their location in the South Pacific would require someone with water based abilities, she meets them in San Diego. They all go by boat to Easter Island.
Minutes after arriving, they are a attacked by Queen Bitch and Wire Mother. Queen Bitch is woman with a Doberman’s head. She claims to be the direct descendant of Anubis. She fights with expert hand to hand skills, and she seems to be a master of savate. Wire Mother can lash out with razor sharp wires that coil over her entire body. They both are vicious in their attacks.
Queen Bitch is put down rather quickly, and Wire Mother turned out to be rather deadly. She seemed to be knocked out after Spartan crushed her under a giant disc that he created from his Bronze Energy.
As Tide, Spartan and Oni tried to catch their breath, a new enemy popped out of nowhere. Melvin Sharples, a 13 year old boy in a Rush T shirt came out and hit on Tide. Spartan, seeming to be able to tell how powerful the teenage was, attacked the boy with his sword. Tide blasted Spartan with a full blast of her water abilities, pushing him back 30 feet. She was horrified to see the Spartan attack the frail looking boy so savagely.
Melvin then clocked Tide, knocking her out with one punch. Oni tried to take out the boy with his force field blasts, only to have the kid’s unresisting flesh reflect the attack back at him.
After a few rounds of the kid flailing about like a fish, Wire Mother came out of playing possum and speared Spartan through the eyes, killing him. Dr Nadir appeared whisking Melvin away, saying that they are wasting valuable time.
Sally Nile called in Powerhouse to transport Spartan’s body to the Black Mesa. She goes into labor from the stress and is also airlifted by Powerhouse.
At the Black Mesa, Oni fills the Black Cauldron he recovered from his battle with Hildebrandt with blood from the medicinal faulity. Sally Nile then talks to the being it is linked with and makes a deal. She offers her son, the first hybrid Human Dragon on earth to this being in exchange for Spartan’s life. Spartan comes back to life. Sally Nile then finally lets the surgeons remove the egg.
Spartan vows to protect Sally’s child, as she has no intentions of going through with the deal.
Powerhouse joins the team, and they go back to Easter Island. Sally is left in the hospital to recover.
