All rights go to them but I am not writing this for personal gain. What has come before: a new immortal (Kane) contacts Richie and tells him to tell Macleod about him. He tells Macleod that he started the watchers, then he nearly kills Macleod. flashback 1670 a.d. a man rides into a town on a horse. He is met by a townsman. "What is your business here?"the townsman says. "I come looking for the sorcerer." man says. "I don't know what you are talking about." the townsman says. "Don't play with me, I know you know what I am talking about."the man says. "nope, can't say I do."townsman says. Man picks up townsman and lifts him up "Look, no more fooling around, TELL me or die! " the man says. "o o kkkay, please put me down."the townsman says. Man releases townsman. "Now give me the information I request." the man says. "Nobody, knows much about him, except for he lives like a hermit in a cave just outside of town. What business do you have with him?"the townsman says. "I have come to take his power!"the man exclaims. "Then you are a fool, for many have tried but none have even returned to tell of their attempt."the townsman says. "Well I am not like most men." the man says. "Ok it's your funeral. Oh and by the way what is your name?"the townsman says. "My name is Kane."the man says. 1996 A.D. As the scene opens, we see Macleod doing training exercises. Then Richie walks in. "Hey how's it going?" Richie asks Macleod. "Fairly well, though I am still a bit shook up about my near losing to Kane." Macleod "I understand how you feel, I am sure I would feel the same way if I came that close to dying for good." Richie says. Suddenly both feel a buzz and get on their guard. Then Methos walked in. "Hey, heard about your near fight Duncan. I can't believe that an immortal could go through all that time undetected." Methos says to Macleod "No kidding, the watchers are really shook up that not only were they founded by an immortal but let an immortal's existence go undetected for so long." Macleod says. "Hey it is not their fault if he can really make people forget him." Methos says. "I am training because I know unfortunately, I can't avoid a fight with him forever." Macleod says. Meanwhile at watcher HQ "I still can't believe all that we have learned since we found out about Kane." Man says. "We have to realize that it isn't our fault." Joe says. Suddenly Kane appears down the hall from Joe. "You! What do you want here?" Joe asks. "I've come for the watcher database." Kane says. "I don't know what you are talking about." Joe says. "Oh, come on. Do I look like a fool, I know about the database that was compiled under no authorization, with every immortal and watcher listed." Kane says. "You know that it was destroyed after Kales took it, and it was destroyed with his computer." Joe says. "Oh, but I think maybe you found it too interesting and made a copy of it, in case if the original was destroyed or stolen." Kain says. "What would you possibly want with it?" Joe asked. "I plan to release it to the world!" Kane says. "You're mad!" Joe exclaims. "If you do that, then they will come after you too." "I know that, but I am too powerful to be killed by a mere mortal." Kane says. "But why?" Joe asks. "Wouldn't you want to kill the immortals yourself so you can get their power?" "I already have ultimate power. I just want to get this petty "gathering" over quickly." Kane says. "So, why didn't you just come in here in use your mind clouding to avoid detection?" Joe asks. "I figured I could use a good challenge." Kane says. "Now SHOW ME WHERE THE DATABASE IS OR I WILL DESTROY YOU AND THIS PLACE!" Kane exclaims "He's bluffing, he won't destroy this place or the database will be destroyed with it. Also if he kills us he will never be able to find it." Joe says. Suddenly the man with Joe pulls a gun out and points it at Joe. "What are you doing?" Joe asks. "We must give him the database." the Man says. Joe is forced to lead them to the computer room. "Here it is, I hope you're happy." Joe says to the man. Meanwhile Joe slips his hand down into his pocket and to his phone and secretly presses the number for Macleod's number. Meanwhile, back at the dojo, the phone rings. "Hello." Macleod says over the phone. He hears Kane and Joe's voice over the phone and figures out what is going on. "I have to go. Kane's at watchers HQ and he has the watcher's database." Macleod says to Richie. "Oh no!" Richie exclaims "Please, be careful" "I will." Duncan says. Duncan leaves and heads toward HQ. Meanwhile at HQ. "What the heck did you do to him?" Joe asks Kane. "I can also control minds. Though I've found that I can't control immortals' minds for some reason." Kane says. "Now my puppet make sure he doesn't try to stop me." "Yes." the man says then points the gun at Joe. "I have an appointment with the internet Heh Heh Heh." Kane says with a laugh. But he is met by Macleod outside. "So the weakling returns to continue his lesson. HIS LAST LESSON!" Kane exclaims. "Where is the database?" Macleod asks. Patting his coat pocket. "Right here safe, or at least until I release its data to the world." Kane says. "What do you want from me?" Macleod asks. "Nothing will stop me from releasing this info, not like that weakling Kales who tried to use it against you." Kane said. The fight begins. At first it seems hopeless for Macleod But miraculously Macleod scores a blow on Kane and cuts his hand off. "Arghhh . . . " Kane screams. But suddenly a shot comes from behind Macleod and shoots him down. At the doorway is Kanes puppet with a smoking gun in his hand. "Good work my servant." Kane says. "MAC!!!" Richie says, appearing from the street. "Stay back. You're next!" Kane says. Kane's sword arcs down and cuts Macleod's head off NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be continued. Preview of next part Kane prepares to release the database's info. Macleod struggles with his dark side in a limbo between this world and the afterlife. Macleod's friends desperately search for a way to bring him back to life. Is this the end? SPOILER Don't read if you don't want to know what happens.
