Dybbuk Sydney came back to find that Vaughn and Veara were gone.
Dybbuk Sydney approached a guard.
"Where is Veara?!?" she asked.
"Um, she left with the prisoner" replied the guard.
"And you let her go?!?" asked a furious Dybbuk Sydney.
"Um, yeah. She is second in control and you said when you were gone that she was the one incharge and-"
Dybbuk Sydney pulled out a gun and shot the guard 3 times.
"Idiot...." she mumbled.
VAUGHN AND VEARA
"Did you hear those gunshots?!?" asked Vaughn.
"Yes.... Sydney must be back, and pissed. We have to go now!" replied Veara.
Veara led the way out.
"We have to find the last artifact before Sydney gets it" said Veara.
"Where is it?" asked Vaughn.
"It's in Siberia" replied Veara.
"Oh great! Of all places! Where are we going to get the equipment?" asked Vaughn.
"I have a contact in Siberia. He will supply us with everything" replied Veara.
"Great. I get to go freeze my ass off!" said Vaughn.
"Well, atleast it's close. Let's get going" said Veara.
"Wait. What Sydney said about the baby..... is it true?" asked Vaughn.
".....Yes. That was true. I'm afraid she might hurt the baby aswell" replied Veara.
Just then, Vaughn's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" said Vaughn.
"Where the hell are you?!?" asked Kendall.
"I'm headed to Siberia" replied Vaughn.
"Why?!?" asked Kendall.
"The last Rambaldi artifact is there. We have to get it before Bristow does" replied Vaughn.
"Jack is in Moscow looking for you" said Kendall.
"What?!? Well, tell him to meet me in Siberia" replied Vaughn.
"Okay bye" said Kendall.
Vaughn hung up.
"Jack is going to meet us in Siberia" said Vaughn.
"Good. We need him, incase we encounter Sydney" replied Veara.
"What do you mean?" asked Vaughn.
"Maybe us three can get through to Sydney. Jack is her father, I'm her best friend, and you're her lover" replied Veara.
"Well..... let's get going"
JACK, THE VAN
Jack's cell phone rang.
"Yes?" asked Jack.
"Vaughn is headed to Siberia to get the last Rambaldi artifact. He wants you to meet him there" explained Kendall.
"What?!? Why?!?" asked Jack.
"Just do it! There isn't much time!" Kendall shouted into the phone.
Jack hung up.
"Hey! Change of plans. We're headed to Siberia" said Jack.
"Yes sir!" replied the agent driving
VEARA AND VAUGHN, AIRPORT
"Agent Vaughn! We should get going! Sydney has probably caught on by now" shouted Veara.
"Shouldn't we wait for Jack?" asked Vaughn.
".....Yeah....I guess you're right....." replied Veara.
"What's wrong?" asked Vaughn.
"Well.... it's just.... I don't think Jack will want to see me after what I did to Sydney. I mean, it is my fault she was recruited and all, so in a way, I am responsible for Sydney's behavior" explained Veara.
"No you're not! Nobody is responsible! Sydney can't help it, you can't help it, Jack can't help it, and I sure as hell can't help it!" replied Vaughn.
"You're right. I just feel so bad for her...." said Veara.
Just then, Jack Bristow walked through the door.
"Hello Vaughn" said Jack.
"Hey!" replied Vaughn.
Jack looked at Veara like she was the ugliest thing on earth.
".....Veara....." he said.
"Um.... hi?" she replied, and stuck her hand out to shake his.
Jack just stared at her hand.
"We should get going" he said.
Jack walked ahead.
"See. I told you he hates me" said Veara.
".....Let's go....." replied Vaughn.
DYBBUK SYDNEY
Dybbuk Sydney was on her own private jet.
"Veara.... my best friend... I should have seen it coming.... and I did" mumbled
Dybbuk Sydney.
"What do you mean?" asked a man sitting next to her.
"I had a vision a couple days ago. It showed me that Veara would betray me, and I refused to believe it... but I was foolish to doubt my vision...." replied Dybbuk Sydney.
"I can take care of Veara, the traitor. I am you're loyal servant sir" said the man.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of her..." she replied.
"I'll take good care of her"
JACK, VEARA AND VAUGHN, AIRPLANE
The plane ride was quite. Nobody spoke. Jack glared at Veara the whole way, Veara sat with her eyes closed, and Vaughn looked back and forth at them, like he was watching a tennis match.
Then Veara spoke.
"Look Jack, I'm really, really sorry. I don't expect you to ever forgive me, but I never planned it to be like this. I never knew Sydney would go insane, I never knew that-"
"Veara Seminov, you took my daughter away from me, turned her into a power-hungry freak, hurt her in more ways then possible, and now you're telling me that you're sorry?!? You have got to be kidding me!" shouted Jack.
"I didn't know!" replied Veara.
"You knew damn well about Sydney's problem!" shouted Jack.
"I know but-"
"You knew that this would eventually happen! I knew that too!" shouted Jack.
"What problem?!? What did you guys know?!?" asked Vaughn.
Jack and Veara were quiet.
"What is it?!?" asked Vaughn.
"Let's just say, Sydney isn't normal. She's alot different then you think. Alot" said Jack.
"What do you mean? How she's possessed?" asked Vaughn.
"Yes. But there's more" replied Veara.
"Like what?!?" asked Vaughn.
"I can't tell you...." replied Veara.
"Why not?!?" asked Vaughn.
"Because Sydney said that she really loves you, and that if you found out, you might not love her anymore" explained Veara.
"Oh" Vaughn said in a very quiet voice.
He was happy, sad and mad.
He was happy that Sydney actually did love him.
He was sad that if he didn't do something fast, he would lose her forever.
He was mad that some spirit of a dead person or whatever was taking over her body. Why couldn't this spirit leave her anlone? Why did it have to be Sydney?
"We have to hurry" said Vaughn.
VEARA, JACK AND VAUGHN, SIBERIA
"So the artifact is hidden somewhere on this mountain?" asked Vaughn.
"Yes. That's what Sydney told me" replied Veara.
"Of all places. Why couldn't it be in Mexico or something, instead of on a blizzard mountain?!?" asked Vaughn.
"We have to move quickly" replied Jack.
DYBBUK SYDNEY
"Um, sir? We're landing in 5 minutes" said the man.
"I know. Make it faster" replied Dybbuk Sydney.
"What?!?" asked the man.
"Make it faster" replied Dybbuk Sydney.
"Sir, I know you want to get there as fast as you can but we're not aloud to go any faster" said the man.
"Veara, My father and Vaughn are already there! We will go faster!" shouted Dybbuk Sydney.
"Um, right away sir" replied the man.
VEARA, JACK AND VAUGHN, SIBERIA
Vaughn, Jack and Veara were making there way up the mountain when they heard a noise.
"What is that?" asked Vaughn.
"It sounds like.... a jet?" replied Jack.
"Oh no! Sydney knows we're here! We have to move faster!" shouted Veara.
"The artifact is a t the top of the mountain" she added.
They started to run.
The jet landed at the base of the mountain.
"It will take her an hour to get up here" said Vaughn.
"I don't know. Sydney has her ways" replied Veara.
They continued running up the mountain.
Dybbuk Sydney stepped out of the jet, and looked right at them.
"How can she see us?!? We are 3/4 of the way up!" shouted Vaughn.
"Remember how we said Sydney wasn't normal? She has a super sense of hearing, smelling, and sight" replied Veara.
"So, she can see us perfectly?" asked Vaughn.
"Yep" replied Veara.
"We have to hurry!" shouted Jack.
They started to run faster, but it was hard running against the freezing cold wind.
"A storm is coming!" shouted Veara.
"Oh great! Just what we need!" replied Vaughn.
Dybbuk Sydney started to run up the mountain behind them.
She was running at an incredible speed.
"Holy felgercarb! She's fast!" shouted Vaughn.
"She also has super speed and strength" replied Veara.
"At this rate, she'll catch us in about 5 minutes" she added.
They started to run there fastest and finally made in to the top.
There was a dark cave.
They walked into it.
"Let's move that boulder so Sydney can't get in!" shouted Vaughn.
"That's a good idea, but she can move it on her own. It might by us some time though" replied Veara.
They moved the boulder, blocking the entrance.
It was pitch black.
Veara pulled out a lighter.
"Follow me. I've been here before" said Veara.
"What?!?" asked Vaughn.
"When we were children, Sydney and I used to train up here. We say a special box with strange markings on it further ahead. We thought nothing of it. It wasn't till about a week ago that we learned that there was a Rambaldi arftifact inside" replied Veara.
All of a sudden they heard a noise, like a giant rock moving.
"The boulder!" shouted Vaughn.
"She's here! We have to move fast!" replied Veara.
"Veara! I will rip you apart you rat! Do you here me?!?" shouted a furious Dybbuk Sydney.
They kept running until Veara stopped.
They saw a gold box on a stone table with symbols on it. The symbols looked like this: <0>
"Rambaldi" said Veara.
They heard footsteps approaching first they were fast, the slower, then they started to walk.
"She's here!" shouted Veara.
She ran up and grabbed the box. She didn't even open it.
"We have to leave! We can open the box somewhere safe!" shouted Veara.
"Veara you fool! There is no place safe! Wherever you go, I can and will find you!" shouted Dybbuk Sydney.
Veara jumped high in the air, right over Dybbuk Sydney.
"Let's go!'' shouted Veara.
Vaughn and Jack followed.
Dybbuk Sydney was right behind them.
"You can't get away!" shouted Dybbuk Sydney.
"Oh yes we can!" replied Veara.
Then, Veara stopped.
Dybbuk Sydney laughed.
"No really, you can't get away. I put that nice big boulder right back where it was after I was finished with it" she said.
There was no way out.
"Hand over the box, and I won't make you're death painful" said Dybbuk Sydney.
"No! I will never give this boxed to you, you fake!" shouted Veara.
"Give me my box!" replied Dybbuk Sydney.
"Huh?" asked Veara.
Vaughn shot Dybbuk Sydney with a tranq dart.
Dybbuk Sydney still stood firm.
Then, he fired another, and another and another.
She was still fine.
Then, he fired his last dart.
Dybbuk Sydney started to wobble. Her eyes started to close. She couldn't fight it.
She fell to the ground into a deep sleep.
"That should keep her down for atlest 24 hours" said Vaughn.
"Good. We will go back to Moscow, steal her other artifacts and destroy them" replied Jack.
"I'm confused" said Veara.
"What is it?" asked Vaughn.
"She said give me my box. What does she mean "my box?" asked Veara.
"Huh?" asked Vaughn.
"Nevermind...."
