Bart the Black couldn't keep the grin off his face, he had finally beaten Biff Gamma. Victory was so completely satisfying. Bella would make a great addition to his lovely crew. What position would she assume, besides the one under him? Bart chuckled out loud at the thought. "Communications, open a chanel to Biff Gamma," Bart barked.
"Yes Master, channel open master."
"This is Bart the Black. You've lost Biff. Turn over Bella and I'll let you go free, otherwise you die! You have five minutes. Bart out."
Bart had no intention of letting Biff go free, but he wanted Bella first, before he killed Biff Gamma. Bart also knew from past experience that once Biff was backed into a corner there was no telling what he would do, yes, it was better to make him believe the corner didn't exist.
Harker heard the message and thinking he had no choice was about to agree to Bart's terms.
Biff knew she had to think quick or end up as Bart's slave.
"Harker wait! Bart has an entire ship of beautifull women. There has to be a way we could trick Bart and then you could have all his women."
Harker stopped, an entire crew of women, beautifull women. Oh the fun he could have! "How many women?"
"At least seven, maybe more."
Biff knew she had to also come up with a plan that would free her and restore her to her original body. She also had to free Bart's slaves. Jake was thinking forget about the other women, but Biff couldn't help but try to be heroic.
**"The battle is over. Look, Queke, no use crying over lost bodies, get that machine working so I can get my body back," Zane sneered.
Rodger jumping to Queke's defence told Zane, "Leave her alone, we've got lots of time."
Queke sighed, "It's OK Rodger it'll keep my mind off things, besides I almost have his system cracked. I should be able to opperate his mental transference device shortly."**
"Time's up Biff Gamma" Bart told Harker over the space radio. "What's your decision?"
"I agree" Harker told Bart.
Bart told his security guard to standby the airlock to retrieve his prize. "Once you have her let me know. Helmsman, once we have Bella move the ship to a safe distance. Weapons prepare to destroy Biff's ship."
His security guard was six feet tall with the most beautifull dark brown complexion. When he first acquired her she didn't have the assests she now possesed but Bart had a very talanted, and of course, lovely doctor on his crew. All it took were breast implants and some subtle work on her nose and some less subtle work on her teeth. He usually preferred to only acquire beautifull women but he needed a security guard and she was the most qualified. She was his most loyal slave, probably loyal enough, but he still had implanted the little explosive in the back of her head, he couldn't be too carefull.
**After about 20 minutes Queke leaned back "I think I've got it. Volunteers?"
Zane immediatley said "I'm in and so are you Rodger, I want my body back."
Queke queried, "Well Rodger, you want to try?"
Rodger replied "Why not?"**
Biff exited the airlock, dressed again and carrying a small bag. The security officer told her to drop the bag. "What's in it?" the amazon barked.
"Just some personal effects."
The security officer bent down and opened the bag. She saw the small device on top and reached in to grab it. The shock threw her back. Biff grabbed the collar from the bag, jumped on top of her, and put the collar on her. Harker came through the airlock. He took out what looked like a small folded cloth from his pocket. When he unfolded the cloth it became a pair of hats with a wire harnass coming from each of them. He put one hat on the security officer and the other on himself. He slipped a collar around his neck, the one he had removed from Max. He was wishing he had brought more than two collars with him. Harker then attached the leads to his device. He pressed a button and his body collapsed and the security officer sat up.
Harker now in the security guards body removed the collar from her neck. Biff and Harker moved Biff Gamma's body back into Biff's ship. Harker regretted leaving that body and the collar, but she had no choice, she was out of collars and couldn't take the chance of what might happen when the body woke up uncontrolled.
Harker and Biff headed for the bridge.
When they entered the bridge Bart was angry. "I told you to let me know the instant she was on board!"
"I'm sorry," Harker told him. "Biff tried to trick us and I had to kill him. He shot out the communications panel in the struggle."
Fortunately Bart didn't notice that his security officer had failed to call him master.
"Helmsman, move away from Biff's ship. We'll destroy it anyways. Weapons, stand by."
"Yes, master" the helmsman and weapons officer both replied.
"Master, the grapling hooks will not disengage."
Bart was starting to get annoyed. He thumbed his communications panel, "Engineer, get those grapples released." His engineer responded, "Yes Master."
"Security, accompany Bella to my quarters." Bart turned back to the bridge and said to no one in particular, "Notify me the instant we're free of that garbage." He turned and followed his newest acquisition to his quarters.
Once in his quarters Bart turned to Biff, "This is going to be fun, security leave us."
Harker said, "I found this device in her bag. It allows a person wearing this hat to controll anothers actions."
Bart smiled, this is going to be fun he thought. "Let's test it first," he told his security guard. "You see if you can controll her."
Harker and Biff put the caps on and Harker ordered, "Bella, remove your clothes." Biff immediately and without hesitation, took all her clothes off. Biff was getting annoyed at being naked all the time.
"Exellent, give me that hat," Bart told his security officer.
"You should test it on me first," interjected Harker, "just to be sure."
Biff was upset, that wasn't part of the plan. All Biff could do was watch.
Bart took the hat off of his security officer and put it on himself while his security officer put the other hat on.
"I know you don't like women, so this should be the ultimate test. Security, kiss Bella."
Nothing happened. "It doesn't work!" Bart screamed.
"You have to press that button when you make the command." Harker told him.
Bart tried again and the room disappeared.
When it reformed he was looking at Bella and someone who looked familiar, someone who looked like him. He looked down and saw his brown limbs and ridiculously sized protuberances from his, no her, chest. She looked back up just as Biff nailed him in the jaw and the lights went out. When Bart came to she found she was unable to move. She had a collar around her neck. All she could do was listen to the conversation.
"Now inform the crew to allow me to return to my ship," Biff told Harker as she was getting dressed.
"I don't think so."
"You have no choice! Do you think this crew will remain loyal to you if they find out you're not Bart? With only one collar left one of us is going to tell them. This crew loves Bart, they wont stand to have someone hurt him, I mean her. You have enough to worry about with getting the command codes for the ship out of her. You better break her quick or you're in big trouble."
Harker thought about it and fell for Biff's bluff. "OK, you win, get going before I change my mind."
"Let me take the mental transference device."
"No."
"I'll tell the crew you're not Bart."
"I'll compromise, there's a larger version of this device back on the Edifice. That's all I'm willing to do."
"Deal." Biff turned and left after Harker informed the crew to let her pass. Biff could hear Harker telling Bart she was really going to enjoy this. Biff had hoped she would end up in Bart's body but at least Harker would be busy for a while with his new toy.
Once Biff was free she went and told Bart's crew that he was incapacitated and now was their chance to escape. They knew they wouldn't get a chance like this again. Once her ship was detached from Bart's they would be out of range of the signalling device used to detonate the explosives in their necks. Biff had the Helsman disable the engines and then they left.
It was a simple matter to detach from Bart's ship. While the Doctor removed the explosive devices from the girls necks, Biff headed back to the Edifice.
