Suddenly a camera sprang to life and turned towards me then looked me up and down, the person on the other side of the barrier must be checking me out.  Suddenly the barrier opened, 6 armed men and a plus sized woman with grey streaked through her thick black hair.
"Well well well...It seems someone was mistaken...about your death...The Mistress will be most pleased to see you.." The woman sneered.
"Great...I've been wanting to see her myself.." I stated.  More armed men came and surrounded the truck.  Zazin and Thau Guan were already out of the truck, I could still see them, in spite of them having their cloaking devices on. Yeyinde must still be in the truck, Zazin signaled for him to stay put, which he must have done. One of the men, climbed into the truck and then another, they were going to drive the truck in and park it somewhere, Yeyinde would have to stay with it, since we'll need to know where it is when we need it.
"So? Are you going to lead the way or is this how you people shower?" I asked, hoping to get moving. Suddenly on the armed men that were behind me, hit me with the butt of their gun, causing me to stumble forward.  I could hear Thau Guan growl in anger at this, Zazin must have held him back, I needed to face this woman, it could be my only chance to find out what happen to my uncle and Kujhade, we had to have passed through here the first time around after all.
"Get moving!" The woman barked.
"Take it easy, if you just ask nicely, I'd be happy to go along." I said recovering my footing, only to be roughly pushed forward again.
"What's the matter, you're THAT threaten by a little girl like me?" I sneered
"Watch it kid...I got the gun." He shouted
"Like that means anything." I answered.
After being led through the rain soaked settlement, I found myself standing in front of a large, well cared for house, considering everyone else had trailer or poorly made shacks, this must be the Fat Man's sister's place.  
"Some how I'm disappointed...The Fat man had a much better lay out at this other settlement." I noted. Suddenly I remembered something, after out run in with the fat man, my uncle decided that we would break through this place and pasted the barrier, finally reaching Area 51. At the back of this house, was an opened area, that led to a path down that path was a final barrier the blocked the way to Area 51. The Fat man kept tight control over access to the base. I would have to let Zazin and Thau Guan know that the first chance I get.
"You won't be here much longer..." The woman huffed pushing me up the stairs, knocking me from my newly regained memory. I quickly climbed up the stairs, since the rain had gotten heavier, I didn't see the guys anyone, I could only hope that they weren't far.  I was dragged into the house, but I was ready to face this woman, I needed to know what happened and it had to have happened here. After all we were so close, I actually got to stand in front of Kujhade's ship, so whatever happened the Fat man's sister must be involved.  And considering the welcome I got earlier, it was clear she was or at least her men were.
"Why isn't that little bitch cuffed!? Do you realize what she is capable of!?" A shrill woman shouted.
Meanwhile, the two human guards had taken Xia's truck with Yeyinde still inside, to an empty fenced in spot near this large house.  The guard that was driving, turned off the engine and surveyed the inside of the truck, all the while, Yeyinde stood inside. With his cloaking device on, he remained hidden.
"Damn...That little bitch had a serious lay out here...Shit you could have a pretty sweet life in a sweet little ride like this." The guard said to his friend.
"Yea man...She had everything...Even the fixings for a nice feast!" The other guard said pointing to Diva and Willy.
"Heh...They would make the perfect stew.." The first guard grinned.
"And it IS pretty nasty out...Perfect weather for a nice hot stew..." The other said, as he got up and went over to Willy and Diva. Grinning darkly, as he got morbid pleasure at the idea of what he was about to do. Yeyinde knew he had to do, he could let these men kill Xia's animals, she cared for them to much.
"They are not food." Yeyinde said, suddenly making himself known.
"Holy Shit!!!?" They both said in unison, then pulled their weapons which were simple but large spear like weapons, in their panicked state, these weapons were useless to them. Yeyinde quickly dumped the bodies into nearby a container that happen to be just outside. Yeyinde found himself in. However, through a window, Yeyinde could see Xia, she was handcuffed and a tall, thin woman with a very long pointed nose, who seemed to be interrogating Xia, he couldn't hear the question being asked, but he saw Xia spit into the woman's eye, the woman turned to wipe her face. The woman with her back to Xia picked up a metal object that was wore across the knuckles. Suddenly she turned and hit Xia across the face. The blow caused Xia to stumble, Through Yeyinde tried the glass of the window would not break and the noise of the strom covered his actions. Yeyinde realized that he had to find another way inside, so he could save Xia.
Elsewhere, Zazin and Thau Guan were still outside as well,  not bothering with their cloaking devices since it was raining so heavily,  therefore it was pointless to use it, since  the device would only short out. They had been on top of the house, on the very flat roof, which had been empty, an odd security risk, but due to the storm all the human guards were inside.  The plan was to find the way to Area 51 and then re-group, Zazin saw the path in the back of the house and assumed that this path led to the base.
"I will go to the base, You get Xia and then find Yeyinde." Zazin ordered.
"Yes Elder." Thau Guan answered. With that the pair split up, Zazin jumped down to the awaiting path, while Thau Guan looked for a way into the house.
Inside the house, Xia was having a rough time, with her hands cuffed behind her back and one large man holding her up, so the Fat man's sister could beat her, Xia knew she was in a lot of trouble and had to find a way out of it fast. It turned out that before she had taken over her brother's base, this woman was in charge of the base that held Kujhade, she had been away at the time and when she returned, she came back to a pile of rubble.  After months on intense work, she was able to collect data from the mangled security system and saw my uncle and I rescue Kujhade.  She was angry that Xia was alive and had cost her so much. So, she way punishing Xia for it, now that she had the chance.
"You should have stayed dead...It would have been much easier for you." The tall woman with the big nose sneered.
"And you really should have something done about that nose." I sneered. Spitting into the woman's face.  The bitch put on a pair of brass knuckles and punched me in the face, I spat the resulting blood onto the floor.
"You little bitch... You infested my base with hunters,  You locked me out of my own damn base...Then you had the nerve to NOT die!! For 2 years I tried to break into it, I wasted my best hackers on it...Now tell me what you did!?" She shouted. I had no idea what she was talking about, there was no way I could have done such a thing. I couldn't remember anything, but I wasn't going to tell this woman that.
"What can I say? I do good work."  I grinned, only getting a punch in the stomach as a result. The resulting pain was meaningless to me, I was going to find away out of this. Suddenly, another person came rushing in, this time a small woman with glasses that seemed to twitch in an odd manner, she rushed over to the Fat man's sister and whispered something to her.
"Well, well, well....It seems we found your little friend." She grinned evilly.
Zazin, traveled down the oddly empty path to the what appeared to be a large black door at the other end. The sheer emptiness of the area put Zazin on guard, he knew something was up, Xia had said this place was very important and that much of the human's weaponry was stored here, yet it was left unguarded? Could these humans be so weak that the left their posts due to the storm? No, he refused to believe that, with his mask on, he could detected any heat signatures, which could be hiding humans, but their were none. It would appear that Zazin was all alone out here in the vast empty space that was this fenced path.  Unseen to Zazin, was a red glowing eye, hidden with the fence in front of him. This red eye, belonged to a robot and the robot, quickly began to follow it's programmed protocol. Thus is scanned Zazin, decided based upon it's protocol, how to best deal with Zazin. The robot decided that was a possible, but not lethal threat, thus the proper course of action, was to shoot him with a tranquilzer and send him back to the door step of what it assume to be his place of origin.  Zazin felt a sudden pinch as the dart hit him in the shoulder, he pulled the dart out roughly, a thin trail of his bright green blood soon followed. Then an odd sensation took over, like he was suddenly spinning around very fast, his vision blurred as if he was in a smoke filled room, his body suddenly feel triple it's actual weight and then he finally collapsed to the ground, seeing an odd figure approach him as his vision dimmed.
Yeyinde had found his way into the house rather easily, there was a door, o the side of the house which was left unlocked, a drunken human lay on the floor nearby, Yeyinde merely stepped over him, since he had passed out from his drinking. These humans, were fearful, lazy, pampered and self-centered. Xia was not like these people at all. He was disgusted by their actions. Guards leaving their posts due to weather or this one passed out drunk at his post. Such behavior on his planet would not have even been thought of, much less tolerated. Such actions would have brought harsh punishment, if not worse. These humans were not even worth the energy it took to create his feelings of disgust in his eyes. No, he was sure, they couldn't leave Xia with worthless creatures like these. Yeyinde continued on his path, looking for the room where he saw Xia. As he wondered through the large house's halls, he came upon a dead guard, quickly he  activated the gun mounted to his shoulder, the triangle shaped light guiding his path, leading him to Thau Guan.
"Yeyinde! There you are, I'm suppose to find you and Xia." Thau Guan exclaimed.
A group of men dragged Zazin into the room where the Fat man's sister and I were waiting. I was rather shocked to see Zazin, I mean he seemed to be the strongest one out of them all, how could they have captured him? Then I saw the thin traces on blood on his shoulder, it must be a tranquilizing dart.  I should have known, it was a tactic that the Fat man loved to use, why would his sister be any different.
"Well, well, well Angel...It seems the tables have turned...Still playing with these freaks are you? This one is different from that other one, that one was rather pretty to look at...Maybe I'll continued my project on him since you stole that pretty one away from me." THe fat man's sister sneered. She must have been referring to Kujhade, who while he was deep brown, his chest, torso and face were a pale yellow and he had black stripes that decorated his body. He was indeed more attractive looking then Zazin, who was basically grey. Yet, it enraged me to hear the Fat man's sister refer to Kujhade as the "pretty one". It also enraged me that she dared to think she would even threaten to experiment on Zazin. Struggled to break free of the large man that was holding me, but his gripe was not so easily broken and with the cuffs on there wasn't much I could do. Suddenly the twitching woman returned, this time pushing a small cloth covered cart.
"You leave him alone you son of a bitch! He has nothing to do with anything!" I seethed.
"Ah yes, well you see, you have been so stubborn and as seeing beating you hasn't worked, perhaps running some tests on your friend here will loose those tight lips of yours!" The fat man's sister grinned evilly.  As she slowly walked over to the cart, pulling the cloth off of it, to reveal a host of needles, vials full of stuff, and other medical devices of torture. Zazin began to stir, the drugs were wearing off, all he needed was time and then he could really tear up the place.
"Look here you ugly tart! I said leave him alone!! He isn't in this!" I shouted hoping to get her attention.
"What did you call me!?" The Fat man's sister seethed.
"What!? Did you hear me? Losing your hearing in your OLD AGE? I said leave him alone you UGLY TART!!" I shouted as I grinned broadly at her, a plan finally coming to me.
"Why you foul little...You think you're so much better because you have such a tiny little nose! And that long red her! Well, let's see who's the prettier belle of the ball, after I chop off your hair and lop off your nose!!" The fat man sister raged as she came at me with a knife.
"We have to find Xia, there is a strange looking female Ooman interrogating her." Yeyinde said.
"What!? Come we'll find her, besides Xia can handle herself, she probably already escaped and is looking for us." Thau Guan said.
"...Perhaps...They did have her restrained and were torturing her.." Yeyinde muttered.
"Come on then lets hurry up and find her! Damn this Ooman house!! It's like a maze!!" Thau Guan fumed. As the pair pushed deeper into the house looking for Xia.
It was in the in that instant, that everything came back to me, everything that had happened. She had been the one to take my Uncle and Kujhade away, we knew the Fat man had a sister, he had offered her to my Uncle while he was pleading for his life. Knowing that she would probably be after us, my uncle said the best thing to do was break into Area 51, by break through the massive fence, protecting the area.
"Are you sure this is a good idea Uncle? Maybe we should try further away?" I suggested.
"We can't break in further away, if we do that then we're even further away from Area 51. Trust me, I have been to this settlement before." Uncle answered.
"You have uncle?" I asked
"Yes, before I found you...I had hoped that they would have been willing to share supplies or create trade routes in hopes that they could settle fighting and decrease raider activity...They didn't see things my way.." My uncle said
"Well, it doesn't matter now...We'll trust your plan then." I said
"Bah..We should just go right through the settlement and fight our way through." Kujhade stated.
"We're out numbered and they have better weapons...It's too dangerous to try and fight them head on." My uncle said.
When night had fallen,and  went to the other side of the of the settlement. The fence was bits of chain link fence with sheet metal on top on it, the combined strength of Kujhade and my uncle broke the fence.  We quickly went through the settlement and found the empty fenced in space that led to Area 51.  Kujhade had made sure that I stay close to him,  he was tense, I could tell. This had been a little too easy for his liking. What Kujhade doesn't realize is, these people aren't soldiers these people aren't trained to fight, they are just people who want to survive and see the sun of a new day. These people were not meant to spend their lives fighting, they were meant to have boring lives, in a world I missed out on.  
"Get Angel to the base, she's the best at hacking security, guard her and I'll cover you." My uncle said.
"Uncle, be careful, there could be all kinds of traps just waiting to be sprung." I warned my uncle.
"Don't worry angel I'll be fine." He smiled at me.
Kujhade and I stood in front on the door to the base, it was a massive blacken steel door, matching the massive black wall that jutted from the sides of the door, off to the side was a rather imposing computer with a bright green screen.  I had brought along my little laptop computer and set to work.
"Think you can hack it?" Kujhade asked
"Of course, this computer is really old tech, it be easy to hack through it. " I said. Just as my sentence finished, the door sprang open and the hall within suddenly came on, the brightness of the light blinded me for a moment.  Suddenly, that horrid gurgling roar of an infected filled my ears.
"Damn it! We never considered the infected...They must have came through the broke fence!" I exclaimed.
The Fat man's sister's  screams of both terror and pain knocked me out of the memory, suddenly I found myself free, the chains of the hand cuffs broken. The men and the twitchy woman were dead on the floor.  Zazin was behind me, still under the effects of the drugs, the Fat man's sister were behind another guard, her nose bent to an odd angle, and bleeding profusely. I  must have broken her nose. I looked around the room for a second, I was confused and didn't know what I had just done.
"What the hell did I just do?" I muttered to myself, shocked at what surrounded me after I came out of the daze of starting to remember what happened, then I felt rage boil up inside me again, she had been the more to kill my uncle and Kujhade, I had to kill her.
Here's part 11, finally! Xia regains her memory and we can finally learn the fate of Kujhade and her Uncle Xavier
