In The Realms of the Unreal

Chapter 20

"How did you find us in this dense place?" Emma asked.

Fah Lo Suee took a few steps closer and smirked

"Never underestimate the power of my father's organisation!" She then looked them over and tut-tutted

"Dear oh dear. It must be so devastating. To think you'd finally won, only to have it snatched away from you at the last moment"

"Fuck you!" Mcclane spat "If you're gonna kill us, just fucking do it already!"

Fah Lo Suee was taken aback. Very few people in the world dared to speak to her that way. So she did the only thing she could think of. Leaning in close to Mcclane, she hissed

"Do you realise who you're dealing with? I am the daughter of-"

"Yeah yeah save it" Mcclane threw up his hands "I've heard this sorta big talk over a hundred times. It don't intimidate me one bit"

At this, Fah Lo Suee leaned back and laughed slightly "So this is the way it's going to be is it?. No matter! In case you haven't noticed, I've got the full advantage over you!" She then snapped her fingers causing several of her minions to raise their rifles.

"Now then. You have a choice. Either you hand over the rune here and now, or I have you riddled with bullets!"

For a few seconds, nobody spoke. Then the Doctor decided to say something

"You don't understand do you? If we hand over that rune, we're condemning millions of people to death"

Fah Lo Suee scoffed at the thought "You think that we got where we are by caring about the insignificant? So a few hundred minor people will die? My organisation cares only for the greater good!"

"It's not just that!" The Doctor fired back "There is an evil about to awaken and when it does, nobody in the entire universe will be safe!"

Fah Lo Suee hesitated for a second. Then she shook her head "You're bluffing! A simple trick like that will not save your souls!"

"We're not bluffing!" Scully fired back "If this evil reawakens, there'll be nothing left of you, your organisation or even this planet! You've got to understand!"

Fah Lo Suee simply chuckled

"A valiant and noble attempt, but it will not work." She then turned to her minions "Aim!" "Please you've got to understand!" Mulder tried to make her see reason, but Fah Lo Suee simply wouldn't accept it

"Aim!"

"You're dooming the entire earth to annihilation!" Emma screamed

Before Fah Lo Suee could give the order to blow the group's brains all over the floor, the ground beneath them exploded, sending everybody flying. As the group pulled themselves up from the ground, they quickly realised what had caused the blast

Looming over them was the same statue that had pursued them back in the tomb of Sinuhe.

"Christ!" Mcclane swore "You just don't give up do ya buddy!"

"Run for it!" the Doctor yelled "If we can get to the TARDIS, we'll be ok!"

As the group fled into the trees with the statue in hot pursuit, Fah Lo Suee pulled herself up from the ground.

Although she'd just witnessed a colossal stone statue emerge from the ground, her only real priority was getting the rune "Don't just stand there!" she yelled "After them!"

As the group continued to flee through the jungle, the Doctor turned to Jones

"How far are we from the TARDIS?" he gasped.
