4.08 - Vlad

The moth flies back to the Lexx 
it lands on the bridge platform. 
790 circling on his board, yells at Stan who enters first, him follows Xev in her still blue outfit from "Xevivor".  
790: "Out of my way! Out of my way! My circuites are shorting! Kai, let me circuit your shorts!"
Stan reaches down to the board and lifts the robot head.
Stan: "790, boy, I didn't miss you."
Stan kisses the chassis/hull, 790 is shocked.
790: "Ah! It is touching me with his lips!"
Stan: "Guess you got lucky, when we went down to the little blue planet."
790: "If you didn't fall off a cliff and break every bone in your body and it wasn't me, so I don't care."
Xev: "Stan met some nice Earth girls. They seamt to like him quite a bit."
Stan mocking 790: "Jeallous, little robo buddy?" 
790: "Tweedle, as soon as I get teeth, I will bite you!" 
Stan fakes being shocked.
790 longingly looking at Kai: "And I know some flesh I will nibble on as well."
Kai looks as he always looks, unimpressed and a little bit bored. 
Xev to 790: "We just came from a place called 'Transylvania', where people bite each other alot."
790: "Did anyone bite my sweet, sweet stud of necromance?" 
Kai: "No. - My protoblood is running down. I must refresh it now or return to my cryo pod."
He leaves. Xev follows eagerly and Stan locks very satisfied. 790 sighs.
790: "I love it when he plays 'hard to get'!"
Stan: "You know, 790 ..."
A howling suddenly stops him dead, like falling in trance, - 790 is surprised of Stan's sudden behavior, HE doesn't hear anything.
A chorus of female voices: "Stan, Stan, Stanley...!"

The three goth girls from the previous episode dance around a campfire at some of the ruins of the castle, holding each others hands. 
All three: "Stanley, Stanley, Stanley Tweedle ... feel the urge! Feel the urge!" 
Davinia: "Feel the urge with us! Be with us. Join with us."
Mandragora: "You are our slave." 
Muffy: "We are yours."

In the air and inside Stan's head: "Feel the urge with us!"
He shackes his head: "I am, I am ... feeling ... an urge."
He lets 790 fall down, careless, turns away. Leaves. Confused.

Trailer 

In the cryo chamber, Xev approaching Kai, who fumbles with the proto blood bottle, 2/3 of it is filled up still. 
Xev: "Kai, I want to freeze you." 
Kai: "Why?"
Xev: "You should be in cryo stasis for a while to save your proto blood."
Kai: "For what?"
Xev: "When we really need you? I mean, we always need you. You know, we like to have you around, - but some day we could need you even more and then you might have used up all your proto blood. - (beat) - Do you think Stan is alright?"
Kai: "No."
Xev: "He has been acting different ever since we left Transylvania. - (beat) - Did you find any fight or what you were looking for down there?"
Kai: "No, but what I was trying to find there might now be looking for me."
Xev: "If it was another divine assassin from the cluster, could it hurt you?"
Kai serious: "It could hurt us all. You are save here on the Lexx, but I recommend that you are awaken me, before returning to the planet."
Kai gets up inside the cryo pod. Xev steps up as well and places a kiss on his lips!
Xev: "Sweat dreams, Kai."
Kai: "You know, the dead do not dream."
Xev: "Maybe this time you will!"
She gets down and closes the pod. One last touch on the glass and Xev leaves the chamber.

The three girls dance around the fire still. An enerved Muffy turns off a tape player!
Muffy: "It is not working!"
Davinia: "Yes, it is!"
Muffy: "No, it isn't!"
Davinia: "I, I think it is!" 
Muffy: "But you are not sure!"
Davinia: "Maybe he is too far away!"
Mandragora: "Maybe he is pure of heart!"
Muffy: "No, he needs to be closer to us! Alot closer."
They take position, arms up, shouting. 
Muffy: "In thunder, lightning and the rain,..."
Mandragora: "In mountain valleys and on the plane..." 
Davinia: "In snowy fog and on the train..."      
The two others stop again, disgusted, loosing their concentration.
Both: "The train?"
Davinia: "Wow, you said plane."
Mandragora: "Not that kind of plane, idiot!" 
Muffy: "Start again!"
She restarts the tape recorder.
Taking off her coat, dancing around the fire again, up their arms ... and a mysterious mist rises from it into the sky toward the moon and the Lexx. Enters it, enters its hallways, searching, finds Xev on her bed, asleep. Finds the cryo pod and Kai inside, finds Stan sleeping in his moth bed, entering his mind.

Three girls dancing and singing a chant: "Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley Tweedle feel the urge. Feel the urge, feel the urge with us." 

Davinia: "Feel the urge with us! Be with us. Join with us."
Mandragora: "You are our slave." 
Muffy: "We are yours."
All: "Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley Tweedle feel the urge. Feel the urge!"
Davinia: "Feel the urge with us! Be with us. Join with us."
Muffy: "You are our slave. We are yours."
Davinia: "... us!"

Stan wakes up! 
He gets up and sees the shape of Muffy moving and disappearing right inside his chamber.

Stan: "Hello?"
Gets his clothes on, walks searching into the hallway.
Stan: "Hello, anybody there?"
Mandragora looks at him from behind at his back, laughing behind a pillar, he turns, she is gone.
Stan: "No, nobody there, - go back to bed."
Muffy appears behind him, makes 'boo', moves away, just when Stan turns. Nobody there.
Mandragora looks at him from behind, laughing, he turns, she is gone, again. Stan is getting confused, zipps up his working-suit.

Around the fire the girls turn into a whirl of mist and then: Mandragora turns into a black version of Xev, Muffy into Kai and Davinia into a 790 robot head with crazy spinning eyes whirlpools.

On the Lexx 790 rolls around the corner, when Stan watches him
Stan: "790. - 790?"
But the head didn't stop and didn't reply! So Stan follows him.
But the robot appears from another side, opposite. Again.
Stan: "How did you get there?"
Stan approaches 790.
Stan: ""What is going on?"
Suddenly appear whirling eyes of 790!
Whirling-790: "In lightning, thunder, on the train..."
The head hurries away. Stan looks confused behind it.

At the campfire again.
Muffy: "You have already done that bit and there is no flipp in 'train'! Is there?"
Davinia: "It's all I can think of."
Mandragora: "My turn."

Stan entering the bridge
Stan: "790, where are you? Come on, quit fooling around!"
Looks and searches the whole bridge, turning, - suddenly behind the control blossom ... Xev emerges, dancing, playing, - all dressed in black now, even her hair.
Black-Xev with Mandragora's voice: "Follow the urge, Stanley Tweedle!"
Stan takes a step backwards, stumbles on a step, Whirling-790 hurries closer from behind.
Whirling-790: "What's the matter? Don't you remember us?"
Black-Xev plays with him, takes him by his chin, gets him up. Almost seducing.
Black-Xev: "Feel me inside you, Stanley, hah?"
She is playing with her tongue, like a snake ...
Stan: "Mandragora?"
From behind, Kai enters the bridge, but starts open loose his hair, unwealding it.
Open-hair-Kai with Muffy's voice: "You can't forget us, Stanley. You are ours, - forever."
Stan: "Muffy, Kai? What...."
Whirling-790: "We are reaching up to you."
Black-Xev, seducing him: "You are our love slave."
Open-hair-Kai embracing Black-Xev, playing with her hair.
Open-hair-Kai: "You are so far away now."
Black-Xev: "Mmh."
Open-hair-Kai: "We have to rebuild the relationship."
Stan: "What are you talking about? How do you do that?"
Open-hair-Kai: "Like this!"
Open-hair-Kai appoaching Stan and places a big kiss on his mouth, Stan is repelled, tries to pull away!
Finially succeeds and runs away, Open-hair-Kai and Black-Xev grin and follow him, playfully. Stan hurries to the moth and enters it. 
Stan: "This is definitely too weird."
On the front door Open-hair-Kai and Black-Xev arrive.
Open-hair-Kai: "Where are you going, Stanley?"
Black-Xev reaching up her hand to him.
Black-Xev: "We need you, Stanley."
Stan: "I feel an urge!"
Open-hair-Kai, leaning on his arm at the moth door.
Open-hair-Kai: "To do what?"
Stan: "To take a ride in this moth - to ah - to clear my head."
Open-hair-Kai and Black-Xev laugh.
Stan: "And when I come back I want to see you all acting as you normally do. Starting now."
Open-hair-Kai: "That is good, Stanley. We are waiting for you."
Stan: "You definitely mixed up people!"
He closes the door and Black-Xev and Open-hair-Kai wave him.
They leave, Stan shackes his head and takes off, leaves the Lexx, that is still circling the moon.

Stan: "Yeah, that's it, that's it, just fly around for a while, this way, that way, ... and everything will be nice and normal. Xev and Kai, they will be nice and normal, when I get back, yeah."
He is heading for the Earth! His right hand is not obeying his will!
Stan: "Hah, hoh, uh no I don't want to go down there!"
He fights with his left hand against his right one over the control of the joystick of the moth!
It works for a few seconds. He is releaved, then again the right pulls over.
Stan: "Come on, Tweedle, get a grip on yourself!" 
Then the left hand slaps him into his face. He screams when approaches the Earth atmosphere...
Stan: "Nono, not down there, not down there. Nono, not there! Nonono!"

He lands at the same clearing in Transylvania as the episode before.
He hurries through a forrest toward the campfire, where the girls are waiting for him. Suspiously he approaches them and Muffy greets him.
Muffy: "You'll help us revive our lady."
She strikes his shoulder and licks his face.
Stan: "I am not your slave, you know?"
Muffy: "Yes, you are."
Stan: "No, I'm not."
Muffy: "Stanley, bark like a dog!"
And he does, though he doesn't want to. Muffy pets him on his head, grins.
Muffy: "Good boy."

The moth flies back to the Lexx, and Stan shows the girls around.
Davinia (very impressed): "This is so cool, you just feel like the scankiest video."
Stan: "Aha, well this is where we eat."
Muffy: "Stanley we are not here to eat."
Stan: "Yeah yeah, of course!"
Muffy: "We are not hungry in that way."
Stan: "Yeah well, big Stan knows that."
Mandragora: "Big Stan."
Stan: "Yeah, yeah, but Little Stan has another idea."
Davinia: "What is that?"
Stan: "Well, Little Stan wants to end the tour of this great big ship and start to take a tour of your lovely white bodies."
Muffy approaches him. Grabs his croach - hard way.
Muffy: "Is this Little Stan?"
Stan groaning: "Yes!"
She also grabs his chin with the other hand, is angry.
Muffy: "Proto blood, Stanley, now!"
Stan nodds: "Aha."

Meanwhile Xev is still sleeping peacefully in her bed.

The girls surround Kai's cryo pod, Mandragora licks the cold glass and Davinia even kisses it - longing.
Muffy: "Turn your tongues back in, girls."
She goes towards the control unit, where the bottle of proto blood is rested. She hugs it.
Muffy: "Is this the proto blood, Stanley?"
Stan: "Yes, - I mean 'no', yes, no, yes ..."
He fights for control.
Muffy: "Who do you serve?"
Stan: "You."
Muffy takes a drop of the bottle and tastes it. Then she goes to Stan.
Muffy: "Stanley Tweedle's been a naughty boy."
Stan: "Hah?"
Muffy: "Say: Stanley Tweedle's been a naughty boy."
Stan toneless: "Stanley Tweedle's been a naughty boy."
Muffy: "Stanley Tweedle's been hankering for a spankering."
Stan more enthusiastic: "Stanley Tweedle's been hankering for a spankering."
She strokes him all over his body.
Muffy: "A hard one."
Stan: "Uh yeah, ... a hard one. Haha."
Muffy: "Here it comes."
Stan: "Oh yeah."
Muffy hits him really hard on both sides of his head. He screams and gets down - unconscious.

790 is sleeping on the bridge, but suddenly wakes up from evil female laughter all over the ship.
790: "Someone is messing with my man Kai!"
He turns on a siren alarm, verbally, and hurries from the bridge.

Muffy grabs the proto blood filled bottle.
Muffy: "Time to fly, ladies."
Muffy and Mandragora walk away, but Davinia has still her lips on the very cold glass of Kais cryo pod. Her lips were frozen and stuck to it! 
Davinia: "I can't move!"
When she finally manages to pull away, - with Mandragora's help, part of her skin stays behind, - very bloody kiss! She howls in pain!
Mandragora: "Now you can."

790 is alarmed racing through the hallways.
790: "Get up, get up!"
Xev gets up within seconds, alarmed as quickly.
Xev: "790, wait!"
The three girls are searching to find their way back to the bridge and the moth there, Muffy leads with the bottle in her arms, sometimes not sure which turn to take.

Xev finds the fallen Stan on the floor of the cryo chamber.
Xev: "Stan!"
He moans. Xev presses the button on the control unit to wake up Kai. The cryo pod lit opens.
Kais first glance falls on the control unit, it is empty.
Kai: "My proto blood has been taken."
790 whailing: "My darling Kai's life juice!"
Kai: "790, is whoever took it still on board?"
790: "That man wrack Tweedle is on the bottom of this, I know it."
Xev looks toward 790 and then Kai.

The three girls just reach the moth and enter it. Xev hurries through the hallways to catch them. Davinia's lips are still bleeding. She tries to stop it with a hankie.
Xev just enters the bridge, - Kai following closely, when the moth takes off.
Xev: "Ah!"
Muffy waves her from the leaving moth.
Xev: "It was the three girls we met at Dracul's castle!"
Kai: "They are the servants of my hunter. They will give my hunter life."
He looks very seriously at Xev. She nodds.

The bridge, Stanley sitting on the control blossom, naked torso of Stan connected to the protein regenerater and 790's diagnosis. Xev and Kai surround him.
Xev slaps him in his face while Kai is handling the device.
Stan: "Hah! Okay okay, I'm awake!"
Xev (not really meaning it): "Sorry."
Stan: "I was having the weirdest dreams."
Kai tries to force a tube into Stan's mouth.
Stan: "You are not trying to kiss me again, are you?"
Kai shows him the tube.
Stan: "Oh, is that really necessary?"
Kai: "Yes."
Stan takes it.
Kai: "790, configure the protein regenerator to determin, how the girls were controling Stanley."
790 starts his diagnosis.
Xev: "Did you find anything unusual?"
790: "Yes, so far I discovered 32 different types of parasites and viral infections. No wonder he smells!"
Kai: "I'm looking for something more specific. A neuro chemical messenger, that would open Stanley to suggestion or control by others."
790: "You mean something like this, my love?"
790 displays something in the air in front of him, that looks like a part of Stan's tongue and magnifies it, - to a parasite bacteria inside of it. Moving, living, ugly bugger.
Kai: "That is it. Para blood."
790: "A small ßßßßß organism - uah -, that is dissolved in a human female's saliva."
Kai: "They give their master's gift with a kiss."
Stan spits out the tube.
Stan: "Well, there were cute girls. How was I suppose to resist?"
790: "I was not feeling sorry for you, Tweedle, I was feeling sorry for them."
Xev: "Kai, what is para blood?"
Kai starts deeply thinking.
Kai: "I must go."
He hurries away, Xev follows.
790: "He is so magnificant, when he is moody, don't you think?"
Stan (confused): "Ah ... what?"

Hurrying through the hallway.
Kai: "Stay here, Xev. It is not save to come with me."
Xev: "Dont argue, I'm coming with you and that's it."
Kai stops.
Xev: "You think that Stan and I are just ordinary human beings, and we can never help you, right?"
Kai walks further.
Xev: "But you are wrong. I'm half cluster lizard, remember? And there is no way I am gonna stay up here in space knowing that you are in trouble on the planet, okay?"
Kai: "I thought I recognized the figure from the images Dr. Longbore showed me."
Kai stops again, facing Xev.
Kai: "The presence of para blood in Stanley confirmes what I had suspected. You must keep away as far as you can from Vlad."
Xev: "Who is Vlad?"
Kai: "I can not feel the fear, but when my memories tell me why that hunter was blooded, I know what fear is."
Xev: "Vlad is a divine assassin like you, right?"
Kai looks away: "His Shadow developed a special breed of killer designed to hunt down and destroy assassins, who failed his purposes."
He looks back at her.
Kai: "There were called Divine Executioners. - Like me divine executioners need proto blood to function."
His memories show: a great hall, very high-tech and almost lost in its middle, - a metal platform - looking like a spider, electric sparks everywhere. And a bandaged head right in the middle of it. All bloody, an eye is missing, - dead, - but it suddenly opens the only eye left, - its iris is glowing red and evil.
Kai: "But their bodies are also embrewed/embuided ßßßß with a special biogen, called para blood. When injected into its human victims, it turned them into the executioner's slaves. And like a virus it replicates itself in the host's body to dispatch its evil."
Xev is shocked.
Kai: "You are strong in many ways, Xev, but you are not strong enough to fight a divine executioner. - (beat) - The Earth is likely doomed. You must never go back there."
He walks on. To the moth. After a few seconds she follows.
Xev: "But I don't understand. Why do you have to fight Vlad at all? Leave with us."
Kai enters the moth.
Kai: "Given the chance she will quickly set fire to the house of man. If a devine assassin is Death Incarnate, then the devine executioner is the Apocalypse made flesh."
With this words he closes the moth door, Xev jumps up at the second seat and flies with him.

Vlad's castle, lightning and thunder. The three girls open the lit of the cryo pod deep inside Dracul's castle guts.

Mandragora carries the bottle, Muffy opens the lit to an old shrinked figure inside.
Vlad: "The blood is the life."
Muffy: "We have all the blood you need, our lady."
Vlad: "Bring it here, child."
Mandragora shoves the tube with the golden liquid into the old woman's mouth.
Vlad: "Goood!"
She is sucking it desperately.
Vlad: "Good."
Suddenly a seizure, flashes playing around the figure, shaking it, changing it into a cold looking middle aged woman with fangs and a horrible skull underneath, - a hidden monster inside, blond hair upturned to a spike, dangerous and evil, with red glowing eyes for an instant, - it rises, it is stengened now. And graps the hole bottle from Mandragora ... sucking and sucking.
Delighted, happy, the resurrection.
The three girls gather around their satisfied master, when her thirsth is finially stilled. Drops of the golden liquid remain still on her lips.
The girls look confused at each other on this surprising change.
Though the clothes of Vlad remained the same: black, web-like, leather-plastic-stuff with a cape of some sort, scattered, worn, old ... But still impressively aristocratic, gloves, very long claw-like fingers, a worn dress.
Vlad: "Is this all of his proto blood?"
Muffy: "Yes!"
Vlad: "Where is he?"
Mandragora: "We left him on the Lexx."
Vlad smiling: "He will come for me."
Muffy takes a step forward.
Muffy: "Our lady, we have served you well. Your gift shranks weaken our thanks/strength..ßßßß." 
Muffy: "You promised that when you have risen, you would bite us again."
Vlad: "Yes, you have served me well, ..."
She strikes Muffies face gently.
Vlad: "But no. I will not keep that promise. However. I have a new gift for you."
All look expectingly up to her.
Vlad releases her fangs, proto blood dripping from her mouth. She licks her teeth. The girls all hurry to her.
Mandragora: "Me first."
Davinia: "No me."
Muffy: "Me first!"
Vlad: "How about: all of you together?"
They smile and say: "Cool!"
Vlad disgusted: "'Cool'. - I worship His Devine Shadow!"
Then she smiles cruelly at the girls. They smile back.
She switches on a snake-blade at the same arm, where Kai's brace is placed. It looks very sharp and deadly.
She readies it. And the girls finally look concerned. Vlad fires.
The girls start screaming!

High above the castle: Xev and Kai in a moth.
Xev: "This is exactly where we were before. And there was no Vlad."
Kai: "We saw no Vlad."
They are circling its roof.
Kai: "There, the moth."
Xev: "And a cluster symbol."
Kai opens the moth door on his side.
Kai: "The old priest we met in the village, Father Borscht, claimed to have fought Vlad's studentsßßßßßß as a young man. I suggest you search his things for any information that might be useful to fight against her."
He takes a long look at Xev.
Kai: "Fare well, Xev."
Then prepares to jumps out of the moth. Climbing out of his seat.
Xev "Kai, stop!"
Kai: "I must enter the fight."
And jumps, right down at the cluster symbol, it opens for him, - he falls along a dark, ßßßßßßschacht and finially lands at the bottom - also with a cluster symbol, - Vlad's cryo chamber. He readies his brace, cautiously looking around. Being watched from the shadows.
Kai: "Vlad?"
Then he walks toward Vlad's cryo pod, resting in one corner of the hall. No Vlad inside.
Vlad from behind, somewhere unseen: "I knew you would come to me."
Kai turns.
Vlad: "Mmmmh, I could taste it."
Kai searches for the source of the voice.
Kai: "Show yourself."
Vlad from behind a pillar: "Soooon, let us play before we dine, before I dine." 
Behind Kai's back, he turns slowly, searching.
Vlad: "You think you can destroy me? - You think you can hunt the hunter?"
Kai: "I know what you will do on every soul of this planet, once you have new proto blood."
Vlad: "I have new proto blood. And you only suspect what I will do to the people of this planet?"
Kai gets closer to her.
Vlad: "What in fact I will do is merely infecting the local villiages with para blood and then I will instruct them to scatter throughout this world ..."
Kai reaches her hiding place, but milisecond before she was gone, and is relaxing still LOCATED in his back.
Vlad: "And each infects a hundred others, who will in turn infect a hundred more. ..."
Kai is faster this time to locate her and steadies his brace. But the next pillar is also empty, when he gets there.
Vlad: "And once every mother, father, son or daughter is my slave I will order the human race, that pollutes this sphere, to visit upon themselves ..."
Far at the end of the hall she lures.
Kai runs towards it. Too late, gone again
Vlad: "... a suicidal horror beyond the darkest dreams."
Almost back at the cryo pod, behind Kai's back again.
Vlad: "And destroying the last of the Brunnen G will be the glorious headstone to the tomb of my satisfaction."
Kai: "You can never be satisfied."
Kai slowly walks backwards, toward her location.
Vlad: "True."
Kai "How did you know to find me here?"
Vlad: "The time prophet told me you would come to this planet, before I killed her."
Kai: "How did you cross over from the light universe to this one?"
Vlad: "I located a bruise in the time-space fabric that separates the light universe from this dark one."
Kai finially gets her right directions and turns slowly.
Kai: "My killing you will not only be an act of vengance ..."
Kai walks backwards slowly at the opposite side of the very same pillar with Vlad on the other side. Cold stone between them, only half a meter away from each other.
Kai: "It will be an act of necessiaty."
Vlad: "You are sounding very motivated for a devive assassin."
Kai is touching the stone between them almost soft and lovingly.
Kai: "As I am dead I do not feel emotions, but having recover my memories I understand the difference between good and evil. And I know that I must destroy you. Call that motivation if you will."
He jumps from behind his side of the pillar toward hers, brace ready. But hers is empty.
She suddenly appears at the other end of the hallway. Kai fires, hits her at her forehead, causing a big black hole. She is not moving one bit, and the hole closes instantly right at the same time when Kai's brace returns to him.
Vlad: "But you cannot destroy me. I was build to destroy you. And you were build to be destroyed by me. That is what is."
She fires her impaler, it stops only centimeters from Kai's forehead right in midair. 
Vlad: "If you can't, do the mouse."
It spins around, looks very deadly even used against Kai. He does not even blink.

The moth with Xev on board reaches the village. She lands it in front of the inn and hurries inside.
Xev: "Vlad is risen, you must all get away from here as fast as you can and as far as you can - right now!"
Nobody is listening.
Xev: "Tonight!"
Van Helsing grins and keeps polishing his bottles. Xev approaches him, gets behind the bar.
Xev: "Listen, the three girls bit Stanley Tweedle on the neck, and they got control of him by injecting para blood inside his system and they took down Kai's proto blood and brought it to Vlad, who wants to kill him and anyone else on this planet. And she now can do it!"
Van Helsing doesn't look impressed.
Van Helsing: "That is ah really, really interesting, you know, in a mentally deranged sort of way."
Xev: "Nonono, it's really happening."
Van Helsing: "Nono, what is really happening is your complete disconnection from reality to a degree that succeeds even what I am used to. And I am used to alot."
Xev: "See, if you stay here, she'll destroy you, all of you!"
Van Helsing: "She? So the big evil is a she this time? That's unusual."
Xev: "Hey, I need your help."
Van Helsing: "I am Joseph Van Helsing, last of the Van Helsing line. My family, who was almost as nutty as you, fought vampires and their like their whole lifes. I am not. I am a bartender. I serve drinks. I think you need one. A stiff one."
And he hands her some booze. she takes it, is desperate. 
Xev: "Kai told me to see you."
One big swallow and it is gone.
Xev: "See if Father Borscht left anything behind that might help us."
Van Helsing: "No one has touched his room since he disappeared."
Xev: "Since he was killed."
Van Helsing: "I have written Father Borscht off as good as dead after many a late-night myself. But so far he'd always managed to surprised us and raised from the dead in the morning. Wonder the worst for 22.2-.i.?he were, mind you."
Xev: "I am serious, I need to see his things."

On the bridge, Stan activates the key.
Stan: "Lexx?"
Lexx: "Yes, Stan?"
Stan: "Lexx, Xev and Kai have gone down to that planet Earth. And I am very worried, that there is something very evil on that planet. And it may get loose and it may get up this way. Now you don't want that to happen, do you?"
Lexx:" I do not want anything to happen, that you do not want to happen. You are my captain, Stan."
Stan: "Yeah, yeah, exactly, so Lexx, I am commanding you to keep a very careful eye on that planet ... well, all of your eyes ... on that planet. And I am ordering you to blow that planet up without a hesitation, if you see anything evil heading this way, you understand?"
Lexx:" I will do as you command, Stanley. You are my special one and only captain."
Stan: "Good."
He leans back and seems to relax.
790: "Stanley?"
790 is on his roller board, positioned on the bridge floor at the side of the control blossom.
Stan: "What?
790: "I just want to point out to you, that since the time you were the arche trader Stanley Tweedle, the most revialed ßßßßman in the whole light universe, you have gotten down hill, way down hill."
Stanley sighs.

Van Helsing opens the door to Father Borscht chamber at the inn for Xev. A dark woody room, bare besides few belongings and antique looking books. Wooden tables with candles on them.
Van Helsing lights Xev's way by one of them.
Van Helsing: "This room contains the full accessory kit of a very paranoid and deranged mind. You should feel at home here."
Xev shricks and just continues looking around.
Van Helsing: "I am assuming, that the particular sort of madness, that both Father Borscht and many members of my family suffered from, skips the odd generation."
Xev reaches Father Borscht bed and resting place, the wall next to it is plastered with rough scratches and notes.
Van Helsing: "That's why I don't have any children."
Xev sits down on the bed and graps a rosary left behind.
Van Helsing: "But that doesn't mean ..."
Van Helsing joins her there. 
Van Helsing: "... that I am above a little play and hide, even if you do have little alien bats in you bowery."
Xev examins the scretches and points at one.
Xev: "What does that say?"
Van Helsing: "You ... can't read?"
Xev: "No. - You know, in the wife bank on B3K we were only taught, what was necessary to perform our wively duties."

Vlad slowly walks toward Kai.
Vlad: "I can see it in your eyes, Brunnen-G."
Kai retreats.
Kai: "See what?"
Vlad: "Defeat."
Than he fires his brace straight into her guts. She is not impressed, pulls at the string of his brace and forces Kai to jump-fly in her direction over her head (she ducks), and he lands with a deafening impact on the opposite wall. His strength is no match to hers! Not at all.
He is on the ground and Vlad smiles at her helpless victim.

Van Helsing studies an old paper, Xev is browsing in a handwritten leather book.
Xev: "Huch, look at this."
Van Helsing: "I thought, they didn't teach you to read in the ... ahm ... wife bank?"
Xev: "Yeah, but I recognized the picture."
She shows him a scretch of the cluster symbol.
Xev: "It's the symbol of the Divine Order, that ruled the cluster and the 20.000 planets."
He lets his paper down and exams the book.
Van Helsing: "Okay, it's Borscht's diary. - Here, it says here: before he died, he grabed me by the coller and whispered into my ear: 'the beast cannot dim the light of a pure heart'. - So there you go. Nothing to worry about, as long as you have a pure heart. Which I am sure you all do."
Xev worries though: "Kai doesn't have a heart at all, just a pump for his proto blood."
Van Helsing to himself: "I don't know how to go through with this."

But Kai also pulls Vlad on the string towards himself, face to face, with their backs toward the wall.
Vlad: "I hunger for your blood."
Very close they are, only one inch away from each other, an intimate moment. She licks his cheek once, longing. Kai watches, but is motion- and emotionless otherwise.
Vlad: "The moment I first felt proto blood churning through my body, I knew it was all I desired. The way it spills and pulls and tastes."
Kai: "You are a hunter of assassins. You will always seek proto blood and you can never be saitened/ gesättigtßßßß?
Vlad: "Can you imagine the pain? All this thirsth$$$$ unquenshed for thousands and thousands of years?"
Kai: "It is a pain you deserve."
Vlad, mad now, impales him with her blade in his guts, lifts him up a few inches. That hurts. But before she can do more, he fires his brace up and pulls himself up to the roof - away from her on the chime?ßßßßkamin/blitzableiter, einfang.
Of course Vlad follows and first shows us her bat like wings. They face each other on the roof top. It is dark and stormy, thunder, lightnings.
She faces him and licks her blade that is still wet from his proto blood. Then her tongue sticks out, mockingly, impossible enlonging like one of a reptile.
Vlad: "I will swallow every drop of your juice."
She fires, Kai ducks and grabs the iron blitzableiter ßßß to hurry forward with it like swinging a sword. He causes some damage at Vlad's stomach, but the wound closes immediatelly.
Kai retreats a few steps.
Vlad: "That's it, little mouse. Play the game a little harder!
Kai catches the next flash with the metal rod, and sticks the electrified thing deep into Vlad's guts and lets go of it, retreats a few steps, watching the results. It looks like electrocution for a second.
Vlad: "Try/lost/failedßßß again."
And she simply removes the stick and throws it away. Then fires her blade into Kai's torso and pulls him close to her. There is no escape, Kai is not strong enough to get loose of her.
Vlad: "The blood is the life ... and yours is over."
Then she forces him to drop on his knees in front of her, facing her breasts and the cluster symbol right between them. It opens and releases a worm, snake-like, looks like one of the sucking little things from season one - eating pattern. It moves toward Kai's chest, deadly fangs revealing and hungrily snarling.

Van Helsing hurries down the stairs, just behind Xev, who enters the tavern room again.
Van Helsing: "Xev, Xev, maybe on the other hand a good shag might sort out some of the mixed up files in you cabinet."
Xev: "What's a shag?"
Van Helsing: "A shag? That's sex."
Xev: "I like sex. Alot. But we have to help Kai."
Van Helsing: "Do what?"
Xev: "Destroy Vlad."
Van Helsing: "Xev, there is no Vlad!"
Xev: "Yes, there is!"
And she leaves the taverne. Van Helsing follows her out on the dark street.
Van Helsing: "Xev, you must forgive me. I know I may be a little direct on approach, but it is not every day, that a woman like you ..."
He suddenly notices the moth parked right in front of the inn.
Van Helsing: "... goodness, what is that?"
Xev: "A moth."
Van Helsing: "Rather large for a moth."
Xev: "Coming?"
She goes to the moth, climbs up and invites Van Helsing to join her.
Van Helsing: "Where?"
Xev: "To get the other moth that the three girls took, to make sure, that Vlad didn't get it."
Now Van Helsing is nearly speakless and dries his lips with a hankie. Embarrassed, confused.

Kai in Vlad's embrace. Struggeling. Moaning, when the worm starts entering his chest and sucks and sucks him dry.
Vlad: "Calm now."
She strikes his cheek.
Vlad: "Soon you will be empty. Just as the dead should be. Free of thoughts and names."
Still some defence and pride in him left though.
Kai: "My name..."
Vlad: "Sssssht."
Kai: "My name is Kai, Last of the Brunnen G. I killed His Divine Shadow and destroyed the insect enemy of mankind."
Vlad: "His Divine Shadow is dead?"
Kai weak: "Yeees. Your master is gone. There is no longer any purpose in your plan to destroy the human race."
Vlad: "Yes, there is no longer any purpose to it."
Kai moans, he is running out of blood and time, - but he looks down the long, long way from the roof to the forest ground. Is there a way out? As long as Vlad is distracted by the news?
Vlad: "But there still is pleasure in it."
Then a flash hits them both. They stumble down the loong way to the ground, still bond to each other, but Kai takes his change and hits her with his forehead, they seperate. Kai falls down like a stone and Vlad spreads her wings.
She watches a moth arriving and decides to take her chance instead, returns to her chamber through the cluster symbol portal on the roof, while Kai is barely able to move or turn his body upright, after slaming into the forest ground, - next outside the castle's walls.
Vlad hurrily grabs the proto blood bottle and leaves again.

Xev and Van Helsing inside the moth.
Xev: "There."
Van Helsing can't see, what Xev means.
Xev: "Take the moth, I hold out for Kai."
Van Helsing: "Oh, I ... I never flow anything in my whole life."
Xev: "Oh, it's easy. The moth is alive and will fly itself. All you've got to do, is use this thing to make it go, where you want."
She points at the filthy and disgusting looking joystick.
Van Helsing: "Shouldn't I just wait here for you?"
Xev: "Well, you can wait for me or you can fly away, wherever you would like to go. The moth is yours to keep, as long as you take it away from here now!"
She direct her moth to land beside the other one on the castle roof. She takes off again almost immediatelly, while Van Helsing climbs carefully inside the second one and inspects the displays and control stick.
When he touches the joystick, his moth also takes off and follows close behind Xev's.
Van Helsing is clearly enjoying himself, while singing to himself a little song.

Xev in the meantime lands her moth close outside the castle walls at a clearing and starts searching for Kai.
Not long and she finds him, helplessly sprawled on the ground. She kneels beside him.
Xev: "Kai."
Kai: "I am very weak. She almost drained me off my proto blood."
Xev: "I'll take you back to the Lexx."
Kai: "She is likely to be near. Go, Xev."
She tries to help him get up, but he protests.
Xev: "Kai. KAI!"
He is almost not even conscious anymore. Xev watches Van Helsing's moth flying above them.

But suddenly Van Helsing gets a new passager on the seat next to him, when he is looking into the other direction, still happily singing to himself.
Van Helsing: "How did you get up here?"
Vlad: "I have wings. I can fly."
Van Helsing: "You wouldn't happen to be ... ah ... Vlad?"
Vlad: "I am Vlad."
Van Helsing: "Ah..."
She smiles malige and then he starts screaming, not enjoying the splendish sight anymore, when falling down through the clouds back to his little lit village in the Carpartian mountains.
Xev has managed to transport Kai on her back. Some wolves are howling, and she replies with a cluster growl, then hurries as fast as she can with such a heavy decarbonized burden back to the moth.

When slammed into the moth seat, Kai wakes up again.
Kai: "Where is the other moth?"
Xev: "I gave it to Van Helsing, so that Vlad couldn't get it."
She picks one leaf out of Kai's hair.
Xev lifts off and flies away from the castle, leaving the Earth. Xev tries to contact the Lexx and Stan.
Xev: "Stan? Talk to me, Stan. Are you yourself, Stan?"
Stan: "Yeah, yeah, I'm myself. I am fine. How are you?"
Xev: "I am fine, but Kai is in trouble. I'm bringing him back to the Lexx right now. As soon as we get there, we have to destroy the planet. That's the only way to destroy Vlad."
Stan: "Okay, good, I am glad you called, because I told the Lexx to destroy anything that approaches, you know, in case it wasn't you, so I tell the Lexx not to do that now."
Xev: "We'll be there soon, Stan."
She switches off the transmitter. Kai is limp and very still beside her on his seat.

Stan: "Lexx, whatever you do, don't destroy any approaching moths! Okay?"
Lexx: "Okay, Stan."
Stan enters the bridge, circling it, is very nervous.
Lexx: "Should I blow up the planet now, Captain Stanley?"
Stan: "No, Lexx, nonono, not yet. - But soon, soon, very, very soon."
Suddenly the sound of a metal blade and wings from above Stan's head. He looks arround, very nervous.
Stan: "Is that you, Xev?"
Vlad: "No."
Stan: "Who is it then?"
Vlad: "Vlad."
She suddenly appears at his back and is so fast that he can't run. She bites him. Stan screams. After that he stumbles backwards and catches his senses. Vlad grins.
790 rolls on: "You look evil, are you any threat to my beloved dead man in black?"
Vlad: "Yes, I have come here to destroy him."
790 starts screaming and attacks her with his roller board.
790: "DON'T DO THAT!"
She just kicks him away. He almost rolls off the bridge, lays face own. Stan watches this all very unimpressed and motionless. Vlad approaches him and licks his cheek, as she did with Kai's.
Vlad: "You will not tire for me!"
Stan: "Could you bite me again, please?"
She grins satisfied.
Vlad: "No."
And she leaves him at the bridge. Stan glances after her. Longing.

Xev's moth enters the Lexx through the airlock, flies straight through the long tail to the bridge.
Kai moves only cautionally, he seems to be almost gone.
Xev: "Hang on, Kai. We are almost home."
She lands on the bridge platform. Stan stands motionless, looking up to the roof, not reacting.
Xev: "Stan! Quick!"
Xev carries Kai's almost unconscious and very heavy body towards Stan.
Xev: "Let's freeze Kai straight away. Help me get him to the cryo chamber. You didn't see anyone else, when we got from the planet, didn't you? Stan?"
They reach Stan but he keeps staring upwards. Now even Kai gets suspicious.
Xev: "Stan?
They all hear the sound ofl wings. Xev turns around. Behind them both: Vlad flies down.
Xev: "Oh no."
Vlad retrieves Kai from Xev's firm embrace.
Vlad: "Your time is up, Last of the Brunnen G."
Kai is not able to free himself, let alone stand on his own feet. He just looks up and sideway at Vlad holding him at his shoulders.
Xev smashes Vlad with all her cluster lizard strength and a such cry in her face. Enough, so that Vlad lets Kai fall down to the floor. Vlad grins at Xev though.
Vlad: "You are a strong one. You will make a most excellent slave."
Xev is ready to face her to defend Kai, ready to fight.
But Kai on the floor fumbles on his brace arm and groans a weak advice.
Kai: "Run!"
Xev thinks about it for a second, but does then. She runs away.
Vlad smiles: "I exist for the hunt."
Xev knows all the hallways well, chooses tricky turns and tries all to distract Vlad, which is not seen yet. Then suddenly appears right in front of one hallway straight ahead. Xev turns into the opposite direction.

Kai helpless on the bridge floor tries to get up or gain any kind of control. He is let behind with Stan, who is still motionless.
Kai: "Stan, listen to me. - Vlad will have my proto blood. - Find it, and bring it to me!" 
But Stan doesn't react at all.
Kai crawls toward Stan, not much success on his way though.
Kai: "Bring me to the cryo chamber. Vlad wants you to bring me ..."
His proto blood fails him for a second. He drops his head, raises it again.
Kai: "... to the cryo chamber."
Finially Stan moves. Toward Kai. And places his big foot on Kai's back, dropping him even more.
Stan: "No, she does not."
Kai moans.
Kai: "I'll keep myself to her. - I can do nothing, if I am frozen."
Stan consides this for a second and hen really does get Kai's arm, dagging him rudely across the floor toward one of the hallways.

Xev still runs, but at each corner Vlad is already waiting - blocking her escape. Xev screams frustrated..
At one promissing turn Xev suddenly hears Vlad's wings from somewhere, cautiously she looks around.
From behind she gets grapped, can't move, can't escape and gets bitten. Her expression changes from a painful and desperate one to a dull one. Blood dripping from the bite on her neck.
Vlad: "You are mine - forever."
Xev: "I'm yours. Forever."

Kai is rudely pulled by Stan towards the cryo pods. In front of one of them they pause for a second. Stan kneels beside him, striking the Brunnen G's cold forehead.
Stan: "Your time is almost up, Kai. Our lady is coming for you."
Kai: "Fight it, Stan. You have a will of your own."
Stan: "No, I do not."
Kai: "Yes, you do."
Kai starts to fumble on his brace arm/weapon once again, not able to use it to his defence though.
Kai: "Try to resist."
Stan: "Yes, I do have a will of my own. My will is to serve my master."
Just at this second Vlad arrives, Xev on her tail. Smiling happily. One cold glance from Vlad down to Kai on the floor.
Vlad: "There is no light in this dark universe, Kai. - Only ... me."
(She referes to Kai's saying at season one, at the end of 'I worship his shadow': "In the light universe I was darkness, maybe in this one I will be light ...")
She signals Stan to pull Kai up, who still tries to get his brace back to function properly. But Stan holds Kai up to face Vlad, who enjoys and smiles all the way toward Kai, inches away from him now.
Vlad: "I find this moment extremly satisfying."
Kai: "You will not have me, Vlad."
Vlad: "I will have you, - now. - Tell me, you love me."
Stan: "I love you."
Vlad to Kai: "Tell me, you love me!"
But Kai cannot even hold up his head anymore. Then the cluster symbol on her chest opens again to reveal the hungry worm inside. Kai tries to retreat, falls backwards, at the edge of the cryo pod next to him and manages to grab it, at least holding himself there for a few seconds, until Vlad leans over him.
Vlad: "Mine, mine, mine."
The worm enters Kai's chest again, sucking what little liquid is left inside him. He can't move, can't escape, but his eyes are all hateress and resistance still - though weakening by the seconds.
Xev and Stan watch motionless. Until...
Xev suddenly turns into her lizard rolling style, hits Vlad, forces her inside the pod, that Kai clunshes himself at, - and shouts.
Xev: "Stan!"
He finially reacts, with one of his hands fighting the other one. His left one manages to press the control button. The cryo pod's lit closes. Xev holds Vlad in place as long as possible, then barely escapes the closing lit, while Stan's right hand tries to press the button again, that will open the pod.
Xev: "I am not your slave. I have not the same type of blood as a human being and you cannot control me."
She cries and says this to the struggling Vlad inside the pod. Vlad is still not frozen, and Stan fights the urge. Xev catches his right arm just in time.
Xev: "Father Borscht said: 'the beast cannot dim the light of a pure heart'. You have a pure heart, Stan."
He looks to Vlad. She looks angrily at Stan, red glowing eyes ORDER him, to open the lit.
Stan: "No, I don't."
Xev: "Yes, you do."
And she knocks him out.
Xev: "Sorry."
Then while Vlad finially freezes, Xev kneels at Kai's side.
Kai: "We must cleanse Stanley of Vlad's para blood."
Xev: "You can at least say: thank you."
Kai grins weakly: "Ah ... thank you."
Xev: "Welcome."
Kai passes out.

Xev gets the bottle of proto blood from inside the moth, which Vlad stole from Van Helsing. Only one quarter remained of the precious fluid. Vlad was very, very thirsthy.

While Kai fills up his proto blood on the bridge, Stan got undressed and bond to the control blossom and connected to the protein regenerator. 
Xev: "Alright, Stan, we are going to clean your blood."
790: "I say, we are going to kill the security guard. That is the only way to be 100% certain, he will never double-cross us again."
Kai finishes refilling his proto blood level, while Stan is struggling with his bonds.
Xev sits beside Kai and watches the cleansing process, while Kai removes the tube from his chest.
Xev: "Get it, we are not going to kill Stan. He is pure of heart, aren't you, Stan?"
Stan howls out: "Vlad is my master! Vlad is my master! Vlad is my master! Vlad ... Vlad ... Vlad .... wow, that's a scary thought. Wow. Yeah, I feel better. I feel ... I feel much, much better. Oh, hey, ho-o."
Xev: "Is his blood clean now?"
790: "No, it's a foul afluid, but it is free of the para blood now."
Xev laughs relieved! She hurries to loose his bonds, while Kai shuts down the protein regenerator.
Stan: "Oh, yeah yeah."
He gets up and starts to put on his grey shirt.
Xev: "Well, you are not perfect, Stanley H. Tweedle, but I always knew, you got a good heart."
Xev kisses his cheek. Kai watches her.
790: "He is definitely not perfect. Far far from it."
