MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, Klaus had his finished paintings and is now, in the dining room with Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, and Freya.

"So, Nik, how goes your art gallery?" Kol asked.

"It's going well." Klaus replied. "My art book has peeked interest."

"Well, that's a good thing to share your art with others." Rebekah said.

"I owe thanks to Christy." Klaus said, taking a swig of his bourbon laced blood.

"Speaking of Christy, where has she gone to?" Elijah asked.

"She has to handle some business at Mount Orasani. And from what she told me, the Elders are trying to deter another battle." Klaus said.

"Yeah, battles can be difficult." Kol said.

"Yes, it can." Klaus said.

Suddenly, Elijah senses something off in the courtyard.

"Elijah? What is it?" Klaus asked his brother.

"We have some company in the courtyard." Elijah said.

Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol gets up and walks away, walking into the courtyard. They look around.

"Is it supernatural or mythology?" Rebekah asked.

"Mythology." Elijah said.

"We should call Christy." Rebekah suggested.

"We can handle this." Klaus said.

Suddenly, a dart hits Kol in his neck, causing him to grunt. He takes out the dart and looks at it.

"A tranquilizer dart." Kol said and he collapses onto the floor, knocked out.

And then, three more tranquilizer darts hits Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah in their necks and they collapse onto the floor, knocked out.

A two masked Venetian Gladiator slowly walks out of the shadows with a dart blaster.

THE KINGDOM OF CEADIAN

In the throne room, Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol are laying on the floor with their wrists binded with rope in front of them.

Klaus is the last to regain consciousness and looks up at his siblings.

"Niklaus?" Elijah said. "Niklaus? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Klaus replied and slowly sits up straight, looking around at an unfamiliar throne room. "Where the bloody hell are we?"

"It's not Mount Orasani." Kol said.

"No, it is not." said the Ceadian King Vlachellis and slowly walks up to them and gently lifts up his Venetian mask, revealing his face. "I am King Vlachellis."

"We know who you are." Rebekah said.

King Vlachellis grins, maliciously. "Of course you do." And looks at his Venetian Guardsmen. "Get them on their feet."

The four Venetian Guardsmen gets Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol to their feet and restrains them.

King Vlachellis looks at Kol, Rebekah, Elijah and Klaus.

King Vlachellis looks at Klaus's dark blue-green beaded necklace around his neck. He gently takes it in his fingers.

"Is this some kind of gift or charm from your beloved Christiana?" King Vlachellis asked him.

Klaus just looks at him, not saying anything.

"Of course it is." King Vlachellis said with a sly grin.

"Why have you brought us here?" Elijah asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" The Ceadian Queen Anastasia spoke, slowly walks into the throne room and looks at the three of them. "You are here for Legendary Christiana."

"And we're the bait to lure her out here." Klaus said.

Ceadian King Vlachellis looks at Klaus. "So, you can speak."

Klaus small smiles, fakely, at him.

Ceadian Queen Anastasia looks at Klaus and slowly walks up to him. She gently strokes his cheek with her hand. But Klaus pulls away from her.

"Only my wife can touch me." Klaus said with a smart remark.

Queen Anastasia slaps Klaus and he glares, annoyed, at her.

"Pardon my wife's temper." King Vlachellis said. "Christiana will come for you. My wife and I know of it."

"Escort them to the dungeon, but leave this one . . ." Queen Anastasia trailed off, looking at Klaus, gently puts her hand on his chest. "To me."

The four Venetian Guardsmen escorts Elijah, Rebekah and Kol out of the throne room.

Klaus looks at Queen Anastasia, not knowing what she's capable of, but he's not scared of her.

And Queen Anastasia looks at Klaus with a glint of danger in her eyes.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PARLIAMENT BUILDING OFFICE

Later that day, Christy sits in the armchair, behind the desk, on her laptop.

{Christy Outfit}

Christy's phone buzzes on the table. She picks up and looks at it.

Ana

She answers her phone. "Ana?"

"Christy? They're gone. Klaus and the others are gone." Ana told her on the phone.

"What happened?" Christy asked, becoming worried, closing her laptop.

"I don't know. Freya and I arrived here a few minutes ago." Ana told her.

"I'm on my way." Christy said, hangs up her phone.

⚜️⚜️

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

After arriving through her golden dust teleportation, Christy joins Freya and Ana in the courtyard.

"I did a locator spell to find Klaus and the others. They're at a kingdom far away from here." Freya said.

"What's the kingdom name?" Ana asked.

"The Kingdom of Ceadian." Freya said.

And then, Christy, Ana and Freya exchange realizing looks at each other.

"It's a trap. King Vlachellis must've kidnapped them, knowing I'll come for them." Christy said. And takes out her wrist comm and dials Theseus.

Theseus appears on the wrist comm screen. "Christiana?"

"I'm gonna hologram you." Christy said. And she presses the button on her wrist comm.

Theseus appears as a hologram projection.

"Theseus? I need your help. My husband and my family in-laws are in danger. They were kidnapped by Ceadian King Vlachellis." Christy tells the Majordomo Theseus.

"I will send a group." Theseus said.

"Thanks." Christy said, hangs up her wrist comm and looks at Ana and Freya. "Ana? Freya? You ladies want to come along?"

"Sure." Ana said.

"And Nikole is with the kids group, so, I'm coming along as well." Freya said.

THE KINGDOM OF CEADIAN

Later that afternoon, in the middle of the room, Klaus is restrained to an upright stretcher with bruises on his face. Queen Anastasia has been torturing him to figure out who is he.

"Torturing me isn't gonna get me to cooperate with you." Klaus said.

"You're a hard man to investigate, Mr. Klaus." Queen Anastasia said and slowly walks up to him with a knife and sticks it in his mouth. "Unless, you're expecting your beloved wife, Christiana, to come to your aid."

"I know my wife well enough to know that she never gives up, even when, the odds are against her." Klaus said.

"You have much faith and believe in your beloved." Queen Anastasia said. "I admire your loyalty to her. But strong loyalty can be broken."

Klaus chuckles to himself, in which, Queen Anastasia looks at him, wondering why he's chuckling.

"Why are you chuckling?" Queen Anastasia asked.

"Because you think you can break my loyalty to my wife. Well, you cannot. I know my wife and I know what she's capable of. She's not to be underestimated." Klaus said.

Suddenly, a noise is from outside, drawing attention from Queen Anastasia. She walks over to the window and looks at Theseus, Christy, Ana and Freya with a group of Orasanian imperial battalion.

"Christiana." Queen Anastasia said and walks back over to Klaus. "Don't go anywhere."

"How can I when ik restrained?" Klaus said sarcastically.

And Ceadian Queen Anastasia walks away with her sword.

⚜️⚜️

In the hallway, Freya used her magic to release Elijah Rebekah and Kol from the dungeon.

{Christy Outfit}

"Elijah? You guys?" Christy said.

"We're alright." Rebekah said.

"Where's Klaus?" Christy asked.

"Anastasia took him to the restraint room to torture him." Kol said.

"Okay." Christy said.

"Go rescue Klaus, we'll meet you at the cargo plane." Freya said.

And Christy takes off running, heading to Klaus.

⚜️⚜️

THE RESTRAINT ROOM

Klaus is still restrained to the upright stretcher. The door opens, and Christy walks into the room.

She and Klaus exchange looks at each other.

Klaus looks at Queen Anastasia behind her. "Christy? Behind you."

Christy ducks down just as Ceadian Queen Anastasia swings her sword.

Christy sweeps Queen Anastasia's feet from her, making her fall on the floor.

Christy gets back up to her feet and looks at the Ceadian Queen Anastasia.

Ceadian Queen Anastasia gets back up to her feet. Christy unstealth her bronze sword.

Ceadian Queen Anastasia and Christy engages in a sword duel with Klaus watches.

Queen Anastasia and Christy sword fights each other. Queen Anastasia gets an upper hand and cuts Christy's stomach, causing Christy to yelp out in a slight pain.

Klaus clenches his jaw, not being able to help Christy, but knowing she can handle herself.

Queen Anastasia chuckles, menacingly. "I have brought the Legendary Christiana to her feet."

And Christy gets up to her feet and punches Queen Anastasia in her face, knocking out The Ceadian Queen on the floor.

"And I just knocked out The Ceadian Queen." Christy said.

Christy walks up to Klaus and cuts the restraint straps from his body with her bronze sword.

"Where's Elijah and the others?" Klaus asked.

"They're with Theseus, meeting us at the cargo plane." Christy said.

And Klaus and Christy runs away.

⚜️⚜️

ON THE CARGO PLANE . . .

Later that late afternoon, Klaus, Christy, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, Ana, Freya are with Theseus and the small group of Orasanian imperial men battalion.

{Christy Outfit}

"Theseus? Contact the Elders and let them know that we're on our way back." Christy said.

"Yes, Milady." Theseus said and slowly walks away, contacting the Elders with his wrist comm.

Klaus slowly walks up to Christy. "Thank you for coming for us."

"You can thank me later." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

An alarm sounds from the cockpit.

"Dementrio?" Christy said.

"The Venetians are after us?!" Dementrio exclaimed.

"Hang onto something." Theseus said.

Everyone hangs onto the handlebars and the Venetians fires rockets at the cargo plane from their own cargo plane.

"Do you guys have any weapons on this thing?" Kol asked Theseus.

"We do." Theseus said. "Dementrio? Fire back at them."

And Dementrio fires back at the Venetians with missiles of his own.

"Dementrio?" Theseus said.

"We're almost out of missiles, Theseus." Dementrio said.

"We're gonna need some more help." Christy said to Theseus.

"Dementrio? Use the rockets." Theseus said.

"Yes, sir." Dementrio said and uses the rockets.

But a rocket hits the back of the cargo plane, causing Christy and two Orasanian imperial battalion to fall out of the cargo plane and she yelps out as she falls.

"Christy?!" Klaus exclaimed to his wife.

Christy and the two Orasanian imperial battalion members falls into a sea.

"Turn the cargo plane around?!" Klaus exclaimed.

"Sire Klaus? We are already away from the sea." Theseus tells him.

"I don't care." Klaus said.

"Sire Klaus. I understand your concern for your beloved. What do you think Christiana would do in your place?" Theseus asked.

Klaus becomes worried. "She would be conflicted about leaving, but she would have to keep going."

Theseus nodded in understanding and puts a reassuring hand on Klaus's shoulder.

"Christiana will find her way back to us. I know of it." Theseus said.

Klaus nodded in understanding.

And Theseus slowly walks away, slowly walks back up to the cockpit where Dementrio is.
