Tucker tried to run at the infected people so that he could break through them but when he struck them the combined strength of a couple of individuals was enough to make the attempt unsuccessful. He tried at several different points in this ring of people but each time the infected people were able to fend him off.

After a few moments he felt something wrap around his waist and when he looked down he could see a long and flexible arm wrapped around him. When he turned his head he could see that the arm belonged to Chloe, she was several metres away from him but she was more than capable of stretching her arm around him. If he hadn't of been immune to the influence of Rammun he too would have become just like these poor people, they had no idea what they were doing. Their bodies had been hijacked by a virus like influence and they had been powerless to resist.

Within moments the dozen of infected people who had encircled Tucker were closing in and now he truly thought that there was no way out for him. He wasn't a religious man and he didn't know if God could hear him on Home but he silently began to prayer for some kind of miracle. It seemed funny to him that only a few short weeks ago he was more than willing to end his life, now he was praying to be saved. He didn't know exactly what was going to happen to him but he guessed that Rammun would probably have him killed since he was immune to his influence. He would never see Jessica's smile again or be able to tell her how he felt about her. These were all things that he was going to miss but in his mind it had been a pleasure to have just known the woman and he couldn't imagine his life now if he hadn't of experienced everything that he had with Jessica. To him she was as beautiful as an angel but in reality she was every sense of the word. She had shone a bright torch into his life when it had been at its darkest.

As Tucker closed his eyes he expected to be attacked at any moment by these infected people and he didn't want to see it coming. He felt like he was about to be executed by a firing squad and was just waiting for the fatal shots to be fired. It was an unnerving feeling but after a minute he still felt nothing but the elongated arm of Chloe wrapped around him. He closed his eyes as he expected the end to come but for a full minute he felt nothing but Chloe's arm around his waist. When he finally opened his eyes again he could see that the people in front of him were floating ten feet in the air. From their body language he could tell that their little flight was not within their control. As he turned his head he could see that the other infected individuals were also floating in the air. Chloe was also floating but she had easily been able to keep her arm wrapped around him. In theory she could stretch herself infinitely so even if Tucker was standing on the opposite side of Home she was still easily be able to keep a hold of him. If he hadn't of been immune to Rammun's influence he would also now be just as mindless as the others.

For a moment he wasn't sure exactly what was going on but as he looked to his left, a short distance behind the infected people he could see Agent Carpenter along with Sue, Jenny and Agent Rogers. She had her finger tips to her head and was concentrating as best as she could given the circumstances. It only took a moment to realise that it was Agent Carpenter was responsible for what was happening. She was a powerful telekinetic along with her telepathic skills but even she couldn't keep this up forever.

"Get out of there Tucker!" shouted Agent Rogers. From where he was standing he couldn't see that Chloe's arm was wrapped around Tucker. If he had of done he would have seen that Tucker couldn't run. "Don't make me have to come over there!" Even though the situation was dire he still seemed to have time to make jokes although it wasn't appreciated by the other agents.

"I can't run you fucking idiot!" replied Tucker at the top of his lungs. He was more than annoyed with everything that he had happened and was happening around him and he was in no mood for jokes.

Only when Agent Rogers was in the right position could he see that Chloe's arm was wrapped around Tucker. He didn't waste a moment teleporting over to Tucker and placing his hand on his shoulder. He concentrated on teleporting back but he made sure that he didn't bring Chloe along with him. It was a tricky manoeuvre but he had practiced it many times before. Instantly he and Tucker disappeared and reappeared within the group. The process left Tucker a little disorientated but that was the least of his problems.

With Tucker safely out of the way Agent Carpenter used her telekinesis to push all of the infected people away. With the connection broken and seemingly all twelve of the infected people incapacitated for the time being Agent Rogers teleported the group away. For Tucker one moment he was seeing twelve people get thrown down, to being in an empty corridor. Once again the sudden teleportation made him feel woozy and he finally threw up on the ground below him. Jenny who was sitting on Sue's shoulder could only look in disgust at him.

"Hello maybe you could give us a bit of warning before you throw up," said Jenny with an annoyed tone of voice.

"Oh I'm sorry," replied Tucker with sarcasm in his voice. "Next time I get teleported after having a having a large lunch and being attacked by a bunch of zombie's I'll warn Tinkerbell over here that I'm about to hurl all over her."

"That's disgusting." She didn't appreciate the sarcasm and although she didn't know who Tinkerbell was she could tell from the way he had said it she knew that it was intended to be an insult.

"You guys can fight later," snapped Agent Carpenter. With many of the higher ups already infected by Rammun's influence she was the self-appointed leader of this little group. There was really no one who could question this decision, she was the most powerful and experienced out of the group and she had proved herself a capable leader on several occasions. "Right now we need to figure out exactly what is going on, one moment it's just another day at the office and then the next it's absolute chaos. Things are deteriorating rapidly and as far as I know whatever happened to the others is spreading faster than any recorded plague."

"Yeah it's like everyone's gone mad," replied Sue. She had not spoken for the last couple of minutes. For the purpose making it easier for Agent Rogers to teleport her she had not produced any clones of herself. "I was just about to start a training session with Agent Barnes and then he gets touched by one of the scientists and he goes mad. He tried to attack me but I was able to get away in time."

"Well you won't believe but I have all the answers," answered Tucker with a smug look on his face. All of the agents looked at him expecting some kind of wisecrack due to the look on his face. They didn't know exactly how he would know exactly what had happened unless he had something to do with it. "Jessica's been possessed by some bloke who calls himself Rammun and he plans on unleashing chaos all across the galaxy. Everyone who falls under his influence become mindless beasts. He's some sort of ancient evil that was banished from his own world in some kind of cube and dumbed on that planet that was being terraformed earlier today."

"How can you possibly know all that?" asked Agent Rogers with much surprise in his voice. "You didn't even go to the planet and there's no way that Jessica could have been possessed on our mission. She was with me the entire time."

"It wasn't her who was originally possessed but that Agent Daniels. Rammun would have used his body as his main vessel but there guys got a major Napoleon complex." As he looked around he could see that the agents had no idea what a Napoleon complex was.

"What's a Napoleon complex?" asked Jenny.

"Ok let me put this as simple as I can for you." He took a moment so that he could gather his thoughts. "On Earth there was this French guy who conquered most of Europe, but the main reason why he did it was because he wasn't all that tall and he was trying to compensate for his lack of height. Rammun is pretty much the same and although Agent Daniels was just as strong as Jessica he would only be content with having the biggest and most powerful body."

"But you still haven't told us how you know all this?" asked Agent Rogers once again. The other agents were beginning to suspect that Tucker had something to do with what was happening. The agents thought that if Tucker really was really responsible for what was happening they could easily subdue him and bring him to justice if they were able to survive the whole experience.

"Rammun, well Rammun." Tucker took a moment so that he could fully remember the traumatic memories of being possessed by Rammun. It was something that he would probably never forget but also something that would haunt him for the rest of his life. "Rammun possessed my body so that he could get to Jessica. Since he was in my body I have gained his memories. He used me so that he could possess Jessica and it's something that I'm going to live with for the rest of my life. But because he possessed my body I'm immune to his so called influence so I can't become one of those mindless beasts like everyone else." The thoughts of him betraying Jessica began to overwhelm him. He knew that he didn't do it intentionally but it didn't make the guilt feel any less. "He's like a dark wizard or something and he's using black magic to spread chaos all over the galaxy. I can't remember any of the spells that he uses but I know that he only needed to infect a few individuals to spread his influence all across the planet.

Throughout his confession Agent Carpenter had been scanning his mind. She was looking out for any signs of him lying but as he spoke from start to finish she couldn't sense him lying at all. That meant he was telling the truth about everything but it only made her feel more terrified. It meant that Rammun was seemingly unstoppable, not only did he possess Jessica's body but with his minions and dark magic she didn't know exactly how they were going to defeat him.

"Wait if you're immune to his influence then why are you still here?" asked Sue. She had to be careful how she moved since she had a tiny Jenny sitting on her shoulder. It reminded Tucker of when he would sit on Jessica's shoulder but this time the scales had been completely reversed. "I hate to say it but if I was Rammun I wouldn't allow someone like you to run around. Most megalomaniacs don't like to leave loose ends."

Tucker was completely blown back by this statement but he couldn't help but find truth in it. He had been completely helpless and since he was now immune to Rammun's influence then it would have been in the villain's best interest to dispose of him. Instead Tucker was still alive and he couldn't help but wonder why. He had no idea that it was Jessica who had once again saved him. Her willpower was the only thing that had made Rammun leave him unharmed.

"I don't have a clue mate," answered Tucker still thinking about everything that had been said. "I was in Jessica's hand when Rammun took over her and I fell unconscious the next thing I knew I was lying on the floor completely unharmed. All he needed to do was really drop me and that would have been the end of that."

"Wait you say that Agent Snape is possessed?" asked Agent Carpenter. She saw Tucker give her a little nod to basically say yes. "If I enter her mind then I can try and help her purge Rammun out of her system."

"You can do that?" replied Jenny in some disbelief. She knew that Agent Carpenter's abilities made her a versatile agent but she didn't know that she could actually purge a possessed spirit from a body.

"Yes but there's only one problem that I have, Agent Snape is too big for me to enter her mind."

"But she shrinks when she's asleep or unconscious," answered Agent Rogers feeling like he was contributing to this little plan.

"Yes if we're able to knock her out then she'll shrink and then I can enter her mind and purge Rammun out of her." She paused for a moment as she continued to think. "But it's risky, there's a reason why Rammun chose Agent Snape and even if I am able to enter her mind there is no guarantee that I can actually purge Rammun, he might be too powerful for even I to handle."

"But so far it's our best shot," answered Sue. She looked at Tucker for a moment who had been silent while all this planning had been undertaken. "Tucker what will happen to the others if we're able to destroy Rammun?"

"The others will revert back to normal," replied Tucker. He had seen this in Rammun's memories. If Rammun was destroyed then everything that he had created through his dark arts would also be destroyed. This included the influence like plague that was spreading like wildfire.

"Good." She looked at Agent Carpenter once again. "And what would happen if you were able to purge Rammun out of Jessica's system?"

"His consciousness will dissipate into nothingness. He will more or less die unless he is able to possess another body."

"Which he can only do through touch," added Tucker. It was a little something that he had forgotten to mention but it was important nonetheless. "He needs to be in contact with a host before he can possess them. He can't just jump from one body to another unless there's some kind of physical contact."

"Good and you say that you're immune to his influence because you were possessed by him and that Agent Daniels had also been possessed." Once again Tucker nodded to her to signal that it was a yes. "So that means that Agent Daniels should also be immune to Rammun and with his strength I think we might just pull it off."

"Pull what off?" asked Agent Carpenter. Although technically she was in charge of this little group she wasn't above hearing the ideas of her fellow teammates.

"If we can render Jessica unconscious you can enter her mind and try and purge Rammun out of her system. We all know that Jessica is powerful but she's no match against our combined might and if we have Agent Daniels fighting for us it might just tip the scales in our favour."

"That could work," answered Agent Rogers. I know that blockhead Jack is practically as strong as Jessica and with his immunity he wouldn't be worried about being influenced by Rammun." Although the idea was being thought through well there was still one thing that troubled him. He thought that Tucker would be able to tell him the answer and he looked towards him. "Tucker can Rammun re-possess a body?"

"I don't know," replied Tucker with uncertainty. "From what I've seen he's never attempted to re-possess a body."

"Then we can take that risk," said Agent Carpenter stepping into the leadership role. "Our first priority is the find and recruit Agent Daniels, I doubt that he has too many fond memories of being possessed. Second we locate and engage with Agent Snape and take her down anyway we can." She paused for a moment as she knew what she was about to say next wasn't going to be popular. "If there is no other option we will have to terminate Agent Snape." She paused for another moment as the others gasped and she heard a couple say something that she was expecting to hear. Not one of them wanted to see Jessica dead but if there were no other options it would be the only way. "Hopefully Rammun will die with her if the worst comes to the worst. But if everything goes to plan then Agent Snape will be unconscious and I'll enter her mind and try to purge Rammun out. Without a body he should cease to exist."

"What happens if we fail?" asked Jenny who had been quiet for the last couple of minutes. She was nervous and she couldn't see exactly how she could help in a combat situation at all. In comparison Jessica was the size of a mountain to her and it would only take a fraction of her strength to crush the tiny woman.

"Then we are doomed."

The situation was very black and white for everyone to see. It was either succeed and save countless lives, or fail and doom the entire galaxy. The agents had faced drastic odds before but this time seemed to be different, this time the enemy was one of their own who was an innocent part of everything that was happening. They were reluctant to actually engage Jessica in combat not only because she was their friend but also because there was a good chance that not all of them would survive. When Jessica had been in control of her own body there was no danger of her crushing anyone or causing any serious harm. With Rammun in control there was no telling what would happen. With everything that was happening Tucker only just remembered a very important piece of information that would be the difference between success and failure.

"There is one other thing I forgot the mention," said Tucker as the other agents looked at him. "Rammun was able to transfer Agent Daniels's healing powers into Jessica. So basically whatever damage you guys do she should be able to heal over it in a matter of minutes, even seconds."

This last statement caught the group by surprise. They had never expected Rammun to actually transfer Agent Daniels's healing abilities into Jessica and it only made the situation that much more difficult. Without the additional healing abilities the battle was going to be extremely difficult but with them it was going to be close to impossible. It would seem that no matter what they do that Jessica would just heal over and it looked like it was going to be impossible to render the mighty giantess unconscious. But there was one secret weapon that they did have that the group did have on their side.

A few years prior a serum had been developed that would nullify the effects of the Jones serum for several hours. It had mainly been developed for the agents who had difficulties performing normal activities much like Jessica. But there was one major drawback about this serum, not only was the serum's effects only temporary but after a subject received two doses of the serum their body would develop an immunity to it and it would no longer work after that. For this reason each agent was given a single vial of this serum but the company would keep the other so that it could be used for emergencies. Each of the agents knew that Jessica had not used her vial yet either. They didn't know that she had been specifically saving it for a special time and she didn't want to use it just like that. The agents in this group had already used their vials for several different reasons so they could not use their own on Jessica. Instead they would have to crack into the company's storage unit that contained the serum but that was not going to be easy. It was located in one of the most secure areas of the facility that only a select few personnel had access to. It would be easy for certain agents to break through the defences and obtain a vial but that was a gross misconduct in accordance with the company guidelines. But at this moment in time that seemed to be of little consequence to the group. This was an extreme situation and they thought that the company would be able to overlook it since it was a matter of life and death.

For the next couple of minutes the group discussed exactly what they were going to do. It was decided that the team would split into two groups. One would locate and recruit Agent Daniels to the team and the other would go down to the storage area and retrieve the serum that would make Jessica revert back to the state when she originally received the Jones serum close to two centuries before. No longer would she be the beautiful, towering giantess that everyone on Home had gotten used to. She would become the plain and short girl with an acne problem like she was before she became an agent. One thing that the Jessica would not have to worry about is her age suddenly catching up with her. There were a few other agents who also had slow aging abilities and a few of them were close to Jessica's age. When they ingested the serum they had not instantly aged, they had remained the age that they were, it just meant for the time that the serum was in effect they aged at a normal rate. If this had not been the case Jessica would have aged two centuries in a matter of seconds and would very likely not survive the transformation.

Jenny and Agent Rogers were assigned to retrieve the serum since their abilities would make the task much easier in comparison to the others. Agent Rogers would be able to teleport past most of the defences and Jenny's lack of size would get her through the last line of defence before reaching the serum itself. At her present size she was actually too big for the moment but she could shrink herself even smaller, it was just that three inches was as tall as she could get. Before receiving the Jones serum short was probably the last thing you would call Jenny who had been a couple of inches above six feet. She had even been known as Too Tall Jen but after receiving the Jones serum she soon lost that nickname. Her shrinking abilities allowed her to shrink to microscopic size and sometimes rather than train in the training room she would just shrink herself until she was small enough to tackle bacteria. She could shrink small enough until a single cell organism seemed to be a giant monster in comparison to her but she could not shrink down to sub-atomic size.

Agent Carpenter and Sue would try and locate Agent Daniels, last they had heard he was still in the medi-lab where he had been taken after he collapsed. Agent Carpenter could use her telepathy to pinpoint his exact location while Sue could clone herself as many times that it needed to fend off any of the infected people. She didn't know if her clones would be immune to Rammun's influence but she knew if she herself was infected then the rest of the clones would be infected. That was one drawback to her powers, an enemy could kill as many of her clones as they wished since she could make an unlimited amount of clones. But if she was ever taken down or killed her clones would instantly disappear. Her powers also made her a very versatile since she was literally a one woman army and she had limitless manpower behind her.

The only person who didn't seem to have any role was Tucker himself. Since he didn't have any superhuman abilities like the others he would stand little chance against Rammun and his seeming minions. His immunity to his influence was the only thing that would make Tucker useful but for the first leg of their plan he would only get in the way so they thought it was best for him to remain behind while the others did their parts. He hated feeling so useless but he had to admit for the moment there wouldn't be much he could do to help. Instead for the moment he would stay where he was and wait for the others to return. But with every second that went by brought Rammun that little bit closer to victory. Already almost every man and woman within the facility had been infected and it was only a matter of minutes before people outside the facility would be infected as well. There were only a handful of people including themselves that were yet to fall under Rammun's influence.

Tucker dreaded to think exactly what Rammun would do in Jessica's body. He knew that she was a kind soul and most likely would be horrified by the actions that she would be undertaking. He could see Rammun using Jessica's body to travel from one planet to another spreading his influence from one race to another until every race in the galaxy would be mindless brutes just like the people within the facility. Rammun would rule over them like god and if they didn't stop him here and now there wouldn't be a force in the universe that would be able to stop him.

He couldn't imagine that Rammun was only a few minutes away from travelling to another planet and infected a handful of people before he returned. He would only need to infect a few people on a planet to have his influence spread across the entire planet. He dreaded to think what would happen when Rammun reached Earth. He could imagine the streets of his home being overrun by the infected and all law and order would break down. Thousands of years of human history and development would be wiped away in a single stroke. He thought about his distant family who would also be infected, they would become just as mindless and brutish as everyone else and it was not a fate that he wished on anyone. Well maybe besides a football player who scored a vital goal against England.
