Sacrifice<br>A Sequel to Quietly into the Night<br>Conventional Couples<br>Rating: PG-13<br><br>Chapter Thirty-Eight<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Antar – Royal Palace</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle held up his hand to stop the others from talking. The others stopped dead behind him and began to listen. Motioning to the others to stay where they were, he moved forward to try and find the source of the noise. He rounded a curve in the tunnel, keeping close to the smooth damp walls. Suddenly, an arm reached out and pulled him down to the ground. Before he could shout, a hand was clamped over his mouth, and another set arms pinned his legs down.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Shit!</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> Kyle thought to himself. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>How am I going to get out of this? Buddha, I sure could use some help down here.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>“Kyle? Is that you?” a disembodied voice asked.<br>“Murghmph,” Kyle muttered against the hand still covering his mouth.<br>“What? Oh, sorry,” said the voice and the hand was removed<br>“Yes, it’s me,” he whispered, angrily. “Why did you go and attack me for?”<br>“Well, how were we supposed to know it was you?” the voice said defensively. “Next time try announcing yourself, why don’t you?”<br>“Real funny Liz. I assume that Max and Jereon are the ones holding me down? Where is Isabelle?”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The arms holding Kyle down let go, and he sat up gingerly. A small lamp was illuminated and filled the tunnel with a soft glow. Kyle looked upward and saw Isabelle, standing above him with a blaster of some type aimed at his head.<br>“Damn, you guys don’t mess around, do you?”<br>“Not when it’s this important,” said Max, grimly. “Have you found them yet?”<br>“No, but we do know where they aren’t being held. Look, why don’t we move back down the tunnel to where the others are waiting before Michael decides to go all King-like again.”<br>“I heard that Buddha boy,” said Michael, as he came around the corner.<br>“Great job with the waiting, Michael,” snapped Kyle. “For all you knew, I could have been captured by a platoon of guardsmen.<br>“Nah, I figured it was Max and Liz. Either that, or you had fallen, and you couldn’t get up.”<br>A small chuckle escaped from the Earth contingent as they pictured Kyle lying on the floor saying ‘Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up,’ like the familiar commercial.<br>“Right, and you knew this because?” asked Kyle.<br>“If it had been Kivar’s guardsmen, there would have been a hell of a lot more noise. Either from you killing them, or them trying to shut you up while you tried to warn us,” said Michael, smugly.<br>“I hate it when he’s right,” muttered Kyle.<br><br>“Look, as fun as all this has been,” said Max. “We do have something we need to accomplish.”<br>“Max is right,” said Kyle, reaching into his back pocket. He pulled out a map and proceeded to spread it out on the ground in front of everybody. He pointed out the areas that they had searched, noting that there was no sign of Maria and the kids in the dungeon. Max showed him the areas that they had searched as well.<br>“Do you think this means that Kivar has, well, had them killed?” asked Saranara softly.<br>“No!” said Kyle emphatically. “I’ve connected with Kam a couple of times, very briefly. He would let me know that they were still okay, and in the same place, but he wasn’t sure where that was.”<br>“Kyle, let me see that map,” said Liz, suddenly. She looked closely at the map, and then closed her eyes, as if remembering something.<br>“He’s holding them in there,” she said, pointing to a small room on the map. “It’s the same place that he took me that time, when he was trying to <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>convince</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> me to marry him.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The others gathered around the map and examined it closely. <br>“There are no tunnels leading to that room,” said Isabelle.<br>“Way to state the obvious, Isabelle,” said Michael.<br>Isabelle stiffened, and Jereon started to move past her towards Michael. Isabelle held up a hand to restrain him.<br>“Don’t,” she whispered. “He’s just worried about Maria.”<br>“But how can they speak to you that way? First Liz, and now Michael. These people are supposed to be your friends.”<br>“It’s because we are friends that they can talk to me that way. Believe me when I say, I’ve been pretty nasty to them too, but it doesn’t matter. In the end, we are always there for each other.”<br>Jereon said nothing, and they both turned their attention back to the map. Different ideas were tossed out and discarded when Saranara said, “The ceilings! What are the ceilings made from? Is it something we can break through?”<br>“My guess is yes,” said Naloch. “The ceilings are made out of regular building material. Why, what are you thinking of, daughter?”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Saranara looked at the map again and pointed to a tunnel that led to a room near the chamber where Maria and the children were being held.<br>“If we can get into this room,” she said. “We can go up into the ceiling and travel to the room where they are being held. We can break through the ceiling there, get them out and back through the ceiling again. From there, all we have to do is get into the room where the tunnel is, go back through the tunnel and you can go home!” she finished, triumphantly.<br>Liz reached out and squeezed her arm gently and smiled at the Antarian girl.<br>“Saranara, that is brilliant!” she said. “It’s so simple, and that’s what makes it brilliant.”<br>Saranara smiled shyly, pleased that she was able to contribute to the group. <br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The moved out immediately, unwilling to wait even one more second before rescuing the others. As they walked, Kyle slipped his arm around Saranara’s waist and squeezed gently.<br>“You are wonderful you know,” he told her.<br>“No I’m not, Kyle, but you are sweet to say so,” she answered. “I just want to get those poor children out of that monster’s hands.”<br>“We all do,” said Kyle. “We all do.”<br>Max and Michael walked ahead of the others followed by Isabelle and Jereon. Liz and Naloch walked together and talked softly.<br>“Aren’t you afraid?” asked Liz.<br>“Afraid of what, dying?” he said. “No, I’m old Liz, and I’ve lived my life. My beloved wife, and my dearest friends are all dead. Joining them does not scare me. I am sad to leave my children though. I wonder what is to become of them.”<br>Liz thought for a moment before she answered. “Well, I know for a fact that Kyle loves Saranara deeply, and I’m beginning to suspect that Isabelle and Jereon are falling in love as well. But for them to be together, it means that somebody has to leave the life they’ve always known. Is it selfish of me to want Kyle and Isabelle to come home?”<br>“No Liz. I don’t think it’s selfish at all; in fact, I myself would like that more than anything. I know that you would keep my children safe on Earth.”<br>“Well,” Liz said, laughing softly, thinking of some of their adventures on Earth. “I don’t know if I can promise you safe, but it would never be dull.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Okay everybody,” whispered Max. “This passageway leads to the room we want. Is everybody ready?” he asked, looking around.<br>One by one, everybody nodded. Kyle slipped forward and triggered the mechanism that activated the panel that allowed them to slip into the room. They slipped into the room quietly. Michael, and Max made quick work of breaking a hole in the ceiling. Max climbed up, followed by Michael. Jereon and Kyle helped Isabelle and Saranara climb up. Liz was moving forward to climb up when Naloch stopped her.<br>“If it happens Liz, if I die, tell my children I loved them.”<br>“Of course I will, Naloch, but I’m going to do my best to make sure that I don’t have to deliver that message,” she said hugging him.<br>“Liz, come on!” hissed Kyle. “Move it!”<br>Liz climbed up into the ceiling, followed by Naloch. Kyle and Jereon clambered up behind them and they moved across the ceiling beams. Max halted and used his powers to drill a small hole into the ceiling. He peered down into the room below, and then looked back at the others, and smiled.<br>“We found them,” he said. “And they are alone. Kyle, try and contact Kam and let them know where we are.”<br>Kyle closed his eyes and concentrated, while Max peered through the hole into the room below. He watched as his son stopped what he was doing and looked up at the ceiling, and then motioned to Maria and Lexie to move to a far corner of the room.<br>“All set,” whispered Max. <br><br>Using their powers, Michael and Max changed the molecular structure to a part of the ceiling, causing it to vanish. They dropped down into the room and rushed over to where Maria and the children stood. Max swept both of his children up into his arms and Michael grabbed Maria. Max passed first Kam, then Lexie up to Kyle and Jereon who passed them to Liz and Isabelle. Liz led the children back across the ceiling, while Michael helped his wife climb up out of the room. Max and Michael followed, and rearranged the molecules to close the hole in the ceiling. They dropped one by one back into the room that would allow them access to the tunnel. Kyle opened the panel to the tunnel and stepped through. He turned to help the others when a door in the room opened, and the room filled with guardsmen. Max shoved Kam and Lexie towards Kyle, and pulled Maria’s backpack off his shoulder and tossed it to Kyle. He looked back for Michael and Maria, but they were across the room, separated from them by Kivar’s soldiers.<br>“Do it,” shouted Michael. “Close it now!”<br>“Kyle,” Max said to his friend. “Take them home, keep them safe,” he said as he closed the panel and used his powers to destroy the mechanism that opened it.<br>“Going somewhere Zan?” said a voice. <br>Max turned around to see Kivar standing in the doorway, with an evil smile on his face.<br> <p><I><center>Margo is a Super ORB!</i></center><b><center><center><font color=#FFFFCC>It all started with a boy, a girl and a silver handprint.<font color =#CCCCCC><center><i>Countess Majiklmoon Mistress and keeper of the tunes</i></center></color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... 2a.gif></a> </p><i></i>

Sacrifice<br>A Sequel to Quietly into the Night<br>Conventional Couples<br>Rating: PG-13<br><br>Chapter Thirty-Nine<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Earth – Roswell, New Mexico</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle looked around the room, dazed from his journey across time and space. He looked down to reassure himself that both Kam and Lexie were both firmly secured to his legs. Putting the orbs on a nearby table, he leaned down and untied the bindings he had used to secure them.<br>“We’re home, we’re home!” cried Lexie. “Kam, want to see my room?”<br>“Yes Princess, you are home, but we don’t have time to play in your room. We’re going to get the two of you changed into some clean clothes, get some food, and then we’re going to go find your grandparents. Does that sound like fun to you?”<br>“Okay,” agreed Lexie, amicably. “Come on Kam,” said the little girl, holding out her hand. “I’ll show you where daddy keeps my clothes.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle smiled as he watched the two children go up the stairs. Once they were out of sight, he grabbed the orbs and began to recharge them. Remembering how Lexie had come to Antar, he placed them on top of a very high bookshelf, and put a plant in front of them, blocking them from view. He took the stairs two at a time and located Max’s room. He allowed himself the luxury of a shower, and slipped into some of Max’s clothing, using his powers to modify them so that they would fit. Following the sounds of laughter, he walked down the hall into Lexie’s bedroom. <br>“Barbie,” he said when he saw the preponderance of pink that filled the room. “Max let you have a Barbie bedroom?”<br>“I am <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>NOT</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> sleeping in this room, Unca Kyle,” said Kam. “It’s all girlie.”<br>“Well, we’re not going to worry about that right now Kam,” said Kyle, stifling a grin. “We need to get the two of you cleaned up and into some other clothes.”<br>“I’m not wearing any girl clothes,” Kam said with a scowl on his face. His arms were folded, and he stuck out his chin in a mutinous gesture.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle laughed and went into the bathroom and began to fill the tub up with water. <br>“Come on you two!” he shouted over the running water. “Get undressed so I can throw you in the tub.” He grabbed the giggling twins and stripped them down and tossed them into the tub. By the time they were finished, the children were clean, and Kyle needed to use his powers to dry his sodden clothing. Lexie dressed herself, and Kyle routed around in her closet until he found a pair of jeans that would fit Kam. Using his powers, he changed a Care Bears tee shirt into a miniature West Roswell High tee shirt and got Kam dressed. The three went downstairs and into the kitchen. Kyle grabbed some cookies from the cabinet and gave them to the kids to much on. A brief search of the kitchen, and he found Max’s car keys hanging on a hook. Grabbing the kids by the hand, he walked out to they walked out to Max’s Jeep Grand Cherokee. Lexie climbed right in and began to strap herself into her booster seat.<br>“Damn,” said Kyle. “Kam’s going to need a seat too.”<br>“We gots another one, Unca Kyle,” said Lexie, pointing towards the garage. “Daddy keeps it here in case one of my grammy’s wants to take me somewhere.”<br>“You are a most excellent little doodle bug Lexie Bear,” said Kyle. He quickly installed the seat and lifted Kam into it. <br><br>Once both children were secured, he started the car and backed out slowly. He made his way slowly through the streets of Roswell, and was shocked when a set of flashing lights appeared in his rear view mirror.<br>“Damn, damn and double damn,” he said, banging his hand on the steering wheel.<br>“Keep your hands up where I can see them,” came the voice from behind him.<br>Kyle raised his hands up into the air and remained motionless. He stared straight ahead, trying to come up with a convincing story to explain why he was driving Max’s Jeep, with Max’s children in the car.<br>“Grampy Jim, Grampy Jim!” shouted Lexie from the back. “It’s my Grampy Jim!”<br>“Max!” shouted Jim Valenti as he moved towards the car. I didn’t know you were back. What happened? Did you find…” his voice trailed off as he reached the car window. “Kyle?” he whispered. “Is that you?”<br>“Dad,” said Kyle as he unbuckled his seatbelt and slid out of the car. “Oh God, Dad, it is so good to see you.” The two men hugged and laughed on the street as traffic passed them by. Jim released his son and looked into the car.<br>“Welcome back Lexie, we missed you.” He looked at Kam, and then back at Kyle. “Who is your friend, Lexie?”<br>Lexie giggled and smiled at Jim. <br>“He’s not my friend,” she said. “He’s my brother!”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Dad, I have a lot to tell you, but I need to get the kids to the Parkers. Can you meet me there so I can explain everything at once?”<br>Jim looked back into the car and smiled and then looked back at his son.<br>“Sure thing Kyle. Whatever you need, you know that.”<br>“Great, we’ll meet you at the CrashDown. But do me a favor; don’t tell Liz’s parents I’m on my way. There are some things I have tell them.”<br>Jim hugged his son tightly, afraid to let go for fear of losing him again.<br>“Dad, I have to go,” said Kyle gently. “I’ll see you at the CrashDown.”<br>The two men went to their respective cars and headed towards town. Kyle found a place to park, and smiled to himself as he listened to the children in the backseat chattering away.<br>“Come on kids,” he said, reaching around to unsnap their booster seats. “Let’s go inside. I know some people who will be very happy to see you.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle walked the kids around to the back entrance of the restaurant, wanting to avoid a scene until they had come up with a cover story to explain Kam’s existence.<br>“I’m sorry, you can’t come in this way,” said Geoff Parker, brusquely, barely looking at the longhaired stranger and two children who were standing in the doorway of his kitchen.<br>“Grampy Geoff,” piped up Lexie. “I always come this way.”<br>Geoff whirled around, his complexion gray under his perpetual tan.<br>“Lexie, oh sweetie, you’re back.” He looked at the strange man holding his granddaughter’s hand. “Kyle? Kyle Valenti is that you? And is that…?” he paused looking at Kam.”<br>“Hey, Mr. Parker,” said Kyle with a grin. “I sure could use a Will Smith burger.”<br><br>“Nancy!” Geoff bellowed. “Nancy get back here right away.”<br>Nancy Parker made her way from the counter back to the kitchen, just as Jim and Amy Valenti, followed by Philip and Diane Evans came in the back way. There were shouts of excitement from all the adults. Lexie joined right in and hugged her grandparents and jumped up and down gleefully. Kam, however, crept closer to Kyle and held onto his leg tightly.<br>“Unca Kyle, I don’t like it here, I wanna go home,” he whispered, tugging on Kyle’s pant leg.<br>Kyle bent down and picked up the small boy.<br>“Don’t worry, Kaminator. Everything is fine, and this is home. It will all make sense in a little while, I promise,” said Kyle and he stroked the boy’s hair.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Look, why don’t we go upstairs and talk,” said Kyle. “All this noise and confusion is frightening Kam. The adults smiled sheepishly at their exuberance and trooped upstairs. Geoff hung back to make sure there was enough coverage in the café before joining them upstairs.<br>“Everybody, I would like to introduce you to Kyle Alexander Michael Parker,” said Kam. “Kam, this is your Grandpa Geoff, and your Grandma Nancy. They are your mommy’s mom and dad. Remember, we talked about them before, remember?” The small boy nodded, some of the fear leaving his face.<br>“And this is your Grandma Diane, and your Grandpa Philip, they are your daddy’s mom and dad.”<br>“Hi Kam,” said Diane gently. “How are you?”<br>“Hi,” whispered Kam through the fingers he had stuck in his mouth.<br>“And this, is Grandpa Jim and Grandpa Amy. They are mine and Auntie Maria’s mom and Dad,” said Kyle with a smile. Amy gave a trembling grin at Kyle’s pronouncement.<br>“Hi Kam,” said Jim. We saw each other when you were in the car, remember? And this is Beth,” he said, pointing towards the infant carrier.<br>“Lizzy Belle!” shouted Lexie gleefully. “We’re her big sister, Kam!”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The adults laughed at the child’s pronouncement. Lexie took Kam by the hand and led him to Liz’s old bedroom, which had been transformed into a child’s playroom.<br>“So tell us everything,” said Jim, once the children were out of the room. “What happened, starting with you and Liz, and don’t leave anything out.”<br>Kyle proceeded to fill them in on Liz’s visions when the first went to Antar, and the surprising news that she was carrying twins. He explained how there was no way she could travel without putting the children in danger, and the terror she felt when she found out what kind of danger Lexie could be in from Kivar.<br>“So she decided to send Lexie back with Max, and stay and give birth to Kam,” said Kyle. “Michael and I both fought her on it, but there was no changing her mind. Michael insisted on staying, he felt it was his job to protect her, but she wouldn’t let him. She insisted he belonged with Maria and no place else.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The parents sat, horrified hearing the agony in Kyle’s voice as he told them of their years of captivity on Antar. He told them how Liz was virtually imprisoned in their suite of rooms, but he, with a lot of help from Liz, managed to convince Kivar and his lackey’s that he wasn’t loyal to Max.<br>“It allowed me some freedom, and I was able to get out of the palace and hook up with Naloch,” said Kyle. “But then, Kivar started pressuring Liz to marry him, so he would appear more legitimate to the people of Antar. He was, he was,” he paused and swallowed deeply. “Kivar was torturing her,” he said finally. “She managed to let me know what was happening, and to get Kam out of the palace. I didn’t want to leave her!” he cried. “It killed me to leave her in the hands of that monster, but she made me promise to get Kam out.”<br>He buried his head in his hands to hide the tears that fell from his eyes.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Kyle,” said Nancy Parker. “Look at me Kyle,” she said. “None of us hold you responsible. Kyle, you helped to keep Liz safe for three years, at the risk of your own life. You rescued our grandson and brought him back to us. We owe you so much. Why don’t you take a rest for now, you can tell us the rest later.”<br>“No,” said Kyle, drawing a deep breath. “I have to tell you all this now, because I have to go back.”<br>“What!” shouted Jim. “You can’t go back, I won’t let you go again Kyle!”<br>“I have to Dad. Let me finish, and you’ll see why. He told them everything, about Lexie’s arriving alone, followed by Isabelle, and their getting captured by Nicholas, and their escape, and how they found Liz who had managed to escape from the palace. While the parents listened, enthralled, he explained how by sheer luck, he found Maria.<br>“And so we were all together again. Naloch took us up to an old cabin he family owned, and we hid there for a while,” explained Kyle.<br>“Then what?” asked Philip Evans.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle took the coffee that Amy handed him and took a deep sip before continuing his tale. <br>“We were getting ready to leave, when Kivar and his men burst into the room where the tunnel entrance was. I had just activated the door, and stepped into the tunnel when it happened. Max shoved the kids in with me, along with Maria’s backpack that contained the orbs. As he shut and sealed the door, Max screamed for me to bring the kids home, so I did. But I left them there to fight Kivar. I got out, and they are still there, so I have to go back,” he concluded in anguish.<br> <p><I><center>Margo is a Super ORB!</i></center><b><center><center><font color=#FFFFCC>It all started with a boy, a girl and a silver handprint.<font color =#CCCCCC><center><i>Countess Majiklmoon Mistress and keeper of the tunes</i></center></color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... 2a.gif></a> </p><i></i>

pt 40 added 11/22/02 Quietly into the Night Sequel

Post by majiklmoon »

Sacrifice<br>A Sequel to Quietly into the Night<br>Conventional Couples<br>Rating: PG-13<br><br>Chapter Forty<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Antar – Royal Palace</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kivar cleared the room of his guardsmen with a wave of his hand. He looked across the room, his steel gray eyes focusing on his nemesis.<br>“I said are you going somewhere Zan?”<br>“Going somewhere?” asked Max, moving forward so that he was shielding Liz with his body. “The only place I’m going is across this room so that I can kick your ass to Earth and back!”<br>“Brave words from one in such a precarious position, Zan. Or would you prefer I call you Max?”<br>“What we’d all prefer is that you rot in hell,” said Michael, from across the room.<br>“Ah Rath,” how good to see you again,” said Kivar conversationally, turning towards Michael. “I took great pleasure in killing you once, and I look forward to watching you die again.”<br>As Kivar walked across the room in Michael’s direction, Max raised his hand and prepared to hit him with a blast from his hand.<br>“Don’t bother, Zan. It won’t work. Your powers are useless to you in here.”<br>“That’s bull,” said Michael. “You’re just bluffing.”<br>“I am? Really, how amusing of me,” said Kivar. “Well, why don’t you try it and see what happens?<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Michael glared at Kivar and raised his had, but nothing happened. As one, Max and Liz both raised their hands and pointed at Kivar, and again nothing happened.<br>“You bastard,” said Liz. “What did you do to us?”<br>“Ah, Elizabeth, such language,” said Kivar, shaking his head. “What I’ve done doesn’t matter. The only thing that does matter is that soon all of you will be dead.”<br>Kivar turned on one heel and walked across the room towards the door, he rapped once on the panel, and it slid open. He smiled at his prisoners and stepped out of the room. After the door slid shut, his voice filled the small room.<br>“Ah yes, your powers. I suppose you are wondering what has happened to them. As you are aware, Antarian powers come from the brain. We have installed transmitters in this room which emit a frequency that allows us to block the electromagnetic waves your brains use to activate your powers.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Damn, that son of a bitch,” said Max. “There has got to be some way around this. Can any of you do anything? Are any of your powers working?”<br>One by one, they responded negatively.<br>“Okay then, do we have any weapons?”<br>Again the others answered negatively.<br>“It’s obvious our powers aren’t going to get us out of here, Max!” snapped Liz.<br>Maria turned to look at her friend, amazed at the venom she heard in her voice. She slipped her hand out of Michael’s and moved across the room to go stand by Liz.<br>“Calm down Chica,” she whispered to her friend. “This is <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>so</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> not the time for either one of us to freak out. We’ll have a major freak fest <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>after</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> we get out of this royal hell hole.”<br>Liz smiled, the way Maria hoped she would, but her eyes were still worried. She had been Kivar’s captive for too many years, and she wasn’t about to allow it to happen again. She looked around the room, at the others who all stood about helplessly. Suddenly, she spied something around Maria’s waist.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Maria, what’s that?” she asked pointing to her friend’s waist.<br>“Oh, it’s the fanny pack I wear when I jog. I forgot I had it on. Why?”<br>“What’s in it?”<br>“I don’t know, just junk. I grabbed it and slipped it on before I came here.”<br>“Open it,” Liz commanded.<br>Maria slipped the pack off her waist and opened it, and spilled the contents onto the floor. Isabelle moved closer, and she and Liz knelt down and began to shift through the items.<br>“See,” said Maria. “I told you there wasn’t anything very useful in it.<br>“Maria, you are wrong, so very wrong, and I have never been so happy in my life!” shouted Liz.<br>Maria shook her head, puzzled by Liz’s exuberance. “What are you seeing there Liz?”<br>“Will you look at this,” said Liz gleefully. “Pepper spray, a metal nail file, keys, nail polish,” she stopped and looked up at Maria, puzzled. “You jog with all of this?”<br>“Well, not usually the manicure stuff, right before I left, I took Beth for a walk in her carriage and I decided to do my nails in the park while she napped,” explained Maria.<br>“You know Maria,” said Isabelle. “Those metal nail files really aren’t very good for your nails. They can do a lot of damage.”<br>“Jesus!” said Michael. “Would you mind <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>not</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> playing Madge the Manicurist right now, Isabelle? I think we have bigger problems right now than the state of my wife’s cuticles.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Michael’s outburst caused the pod squad to explode into laughter while the Antarian contingent looked on in amused confusion. Finally Naloch turned to his children and said with a smile, “Observe the ruling class of Antar. This is by far, their finest moment.”<br>His statement caused another explosion of laughter, and the room filled with the sounds of mirth. Struggling to contain himself, Max flashed an engaging grin at the others.<br>“Okay, Liz, you seem to have a plan forming. Did you care to enlighten the rest of us, or are we just going to wing it?”<br>“Kivar said that they were using some sort of transmitters to block our powers, right? Well I’m guessing that means that whoever comes in here will have their powers blocked as well. Why can’t we just over power whoever comes in here and go out right through the door? We’ll still have to fight, but at least we’ll have a fighting change.”<br>“It seems risky, Liz,” said Max, doubt tingeing his voice.<br>“Do you have a better plan?” asked Liz.<br>“No,” admitted Max.<br>“Fine, then we go with mine. Now, who is going to be waiting at the door to disable whoever is unfortunate enough to come through the door?”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Liz, if I may make a suggestion?” asked Naloch.<br>“Of course Naloch, you know we value your advice. Without it, I’m sure we wouldn’t be alive right now.”<br>“I’m not so certain about that,” said Naloch. “You are quite a resourceful bunch, but I think I have found a flaw in your plan. I really don’t think any of you should be waiting by the door. The guardsmen will be expecting that.”<br>“Right,” said Michael. “When the door opens, they are going to be looking for us to make sure we aren’t going to try something.”<br>“Well, I can do it,” offered Maria.<br>“Yes you could, and you would probably be successful, but we need someone with powers at the door. That way, they can step outside, and hopefully out of range of the transmitters, and their powers will work.”<br>“Well, you can’t do it Naloch, they’ll probably be watching you as close as they are watching us,” said Max.<br>“Jereon and I will do it,” said Saranara, suddenly. “Maria, you will show me how to work this pepper spray. I will disarm whoever comes through the door, and Jereon can then overpower him and get into the hall.”<br>“Saranara, are you sure?” asked Isabelle, slowly. “It’s going to be dangerous, and to be honest, you never really signed up for any of this.”<br>“I don’t know what you mean, signed on, but I will do this for Kyle. He is brave, unafraid to do whatever needs to be done. I too will do whatever I need to, so that we can free ourselves.”<br>“Saranara is right,” said Jereon. “You keep saying you are stronger together, well I think that includes us as well. It will take all of us to get out of here.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Isabelle didn’t say anything, but the look she gave Jereon spoke volumes. He smiled back at her and crossed the room to stand beside her.<br>“I will not let anything happen to you Isabelle,” he said softly, taking her hand. “I will die before I let Kivar get near you.”<br>She squeezed his hand and smiled back at him.<br>“That’s sweet, but entirely unnecessary,” she said, flippantly.<br>“And why is that Princess?”<br>“Because I’m going to kill the bastard myself, and don’t call me that,” said Isabelle sweetly.<br>“Great, we’ve got the door covered,” said Michael. “But what are we going to do? No offense, but I’m not too accustomed to letting everyone else but me save my ass.”<br>“Good,” said Liz, crisply, grabbing a few items off of the floor. “While Maria is showing Saranara how to use the pepper spray, you and Max can use the nail file and nail clippers to see if you can get the door to the tunnel opened again.”<br>“And what will you be doing while all this is going on?” asked Max with a grin, enjoying the sight of his wife in take charge mode.<br>“Simple, she said, grabbing a bottle of nail polish, and winking at her husband. “I’m going to be doing my nails.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp It didn’t take long for Maria to instruct Saranara on the uses of pepper spray, and then she and Jereon quickly took their positions on either side of the door. Michael and Max used their simple tools to try and free the passageway to the tunnel, while Maria, Liz, Isabelle and Naloch blocked them from view. A noise on the other side of the door alerted Saranara and Jereon, and they called softly to the others, who quickly moved to their pre-assigned positions, and waited while the door slid open. Two guardsmen walked in, carrying trays of food. Their feet slipped in the puddles of nail polish that Liz had dropped just inside the door. Saranara quickly sprayed the pepper spray into their eyes, while Jereon shoved the two of them deeper into the room to a waiting Max and Michael. While they disabled the guardsmen, Jereon and Saranara rushed out into the hall, followed by Naloch, Liz, Maria and Isabelle. Max and Michael quickly joined them, and they ran down a hallway, trying to find the quickest way out of the palace. <br>“Well, our powers work anyhow,” said Michael, as he blew a portrait off of the wall as he ran past.<br>“That’s good,” Jereon called back to him. “Because we’ve got trouble.”<br><br><br><br> <p><I><center>Margo is a Super ORB!</i></center><b><center><center><font color=#FFFFCC>It all started with a boy, a girl and a silver handprint.<font color =#CCCCCC><center><i>Countess Majiklmoon Mistress and keeper of the tunes</i></center></color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... 2a.gif></a> </p><i></i>

Sacrifice pt 41 added 11/23/02 Quietly into the Night Sequel

Sacrifice<br>A Sequel to Quietly into the Night<br>Conventional Couples<br>Rating: PG-13<br><br>Chapter Forty-One<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Earth – Roswell, New Mexico</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle knelt down in front of Kam and Lexie and took their hands in his.<br>“You understand why I have to go back, don’t you?” he asked.<br>Kam nodded bravely, but was unable to hide the fear that shown in his eyes, while Lexie put two fingers into her mouth and looked at him with Liz’s expressive brown eyes.<br>“Lexie, don’t you want me to go back and help your mommy and daddy?”<br>Lexie removed her fingers from her mouth and glared at Kyle.<br>“No!” she shouted vehemently. “It’s a bad place, grownups don’t come back from there!”<br>“But sweetie, I came back, didn’t I?” asked Kyle. “And I’m going to go help your mommy and daddy come back too.”<br>“No! You’re lying!” Lexie yelled. “You’re going to go away and leave us. Mommy went there and stayed away, and then daddy did. If you go back, you’re gonna stay too!”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle hugged the small girl, while the other adults looked on helplessly. He released Lexie and stood her away from him.<br>“You listen to me. You are Princess Alexandra Claudia Parker Evans, and your brother is Prince Kyle Alexander Michael Parker Evans. You are members of the Royal House of Antar,” he told her firmly. “And as members of the Royal Family, it is your duty to protect your world. You know about Kivar, right?”<br>“The bad man,” said Lexie.<br>“Right, the bad man. Well, he wants to take over your world. You and Kam are too little to fight him sweetie, so the grownups have to do it for you. My job is to go back to Antar and work with your mommy and daddy to stop Kivar, and then to bring them back home to you.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Lexie processed what Kyle had said for a few minutes before she said, “Well, if I’m a Princess, can’t I just tell you to stay here?”<br>“No Lexie, you can’t. I have to go back and help your mommy and daddy.”<br>“Unca Kyle,” said Kam. “Promise her you’ll come back.” The boy turned to his twin sister. “Unca Kyle always keeps his promises. If he says he’ll come back, he will. It will be okay Lexie. Unca Kyle, just promise her,” the boy begged, his own fear coming to the surface.<br>“I can’t make that promise Kam, you know that. A smart person never makes a promise unless they are positive they can keep it.”<br>“Then you can’t go, you can’t, you can’t you can’t,” cried Lexie as she flung her body into his arms and began to beat him with her small fists. Nancy Parker reached down and pulled the screaming child from Kyle’s arms, while Jim Valenti scooped Kam up into his arms and held on to him tightly.<br><br>“Kyle, I’ll help you get ready,” said Philip Evans, as he steered Kyle from the room. “What do you want to bring back with you?”<br>“God, I don’t know,” he said as he looked back at the other room, listening to the anguished cries of Lexie. “A couple of knives, I guess, and maybe a gun.”<br>“Is there anything else you can think of?” asked Philip. “Rope, tools, anything?”<br>“I don’t think so,” said Kyle, running his hand through his hair, brushing it off of his face.<br>“Why don’t you get something to eat, and I’ll take care of getting everything together.”<br>“Thanks Mr. Evans,” said Kyle, as he walked towards the kitchen. He made himself a sandwich and sat down to eat, armed with a pad of paper and a pen. He quickly scribbled a note to Kam and Lexie, explaining again why he had to go back, ending with a promise to do his best to come back with their parents. By the time he was ready to leave, Kam and Lexie had dropped off to sleep. He stood for a moment watching their faces; Lexie, a perfect match for Liz as a child, and Kam, a replica of Zan as a child in the pictures Naloch had showed them. He looked at Beth, slumbering in her crib and sighed.<br>“I promise Kam, I promise Lexie, I promise Beth, I will do everything in my power to bring your parents home to you.”<br>He bade the other adults a quick farewell, unable to bear a protracted goodbye, slung the pack over his shoulder, grabbed the fully charged orbs, fitted them together and vanished from Roswell in a flash of light.<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Antar – Capitol City</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Dawn was beginning to break on the Capitol City when Kyle materialized on the site where Naloch’s shop once stood. He stuffed the orbs into the pack, and slipped across the street unnoticed to Tragenta’s house. Letting himself inside, he called out softly for Tragenta.<br>“Who’s there?” he heard her call out.<br>“It’s me,” he said softly. He heard a soft curse and footsteps and a few seconds later, the elderly Antarian woman appeared.<br>“It’s about time,” she groused. “What happened to you?”<br>“That’s not important right now. I have to get to the Palace. Liz and the others were captured.”<br>“Where are the wee ones?”<br>“Safe, for now, but they’ll never be truly safe until Kivar is destroyed.”<br>“Well don’t waste time talking to an old lady,” she chided. “Tell me what you need.”<br>“I need an army,” he admitted.<br>“We can do that,” she said, turning and walking into a dark room. Kyle heard a thump, followed by the sound of something being dragged across the floor. A few seconds later, Tragenta returned, carrying something in her hands. She pressed the bundle in to Kyle’s hands.<br>“I think you know what to do with this,” she said.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle looked down at the bundle of material and smiled. He leaned over and pressed a kiss on the old woman’s cheek.<br>“Tragenta, I think I love you. I know exactly what to do with this.”<br>“You’d better hurry, the marketplace will be opening shortly. Stay safe Kyle, I’ve grown quite fond of you.”<br>“Tragenta, I know this means nothing to you, but ‘I’ll be back,’” he concluded in his best Terminator voice. He turned and ran out of the house and made his way to the marketplace.<br>“To arms Antarians, to arms!” he shouted to the already bustling marketplace. People turned to see who was shouting and were amazed to see a man running through the marketplace, holding the flag of the Royal Family aloft. <br>“To arms loyal citizens of King Zan. To the palace! No longer shall you suffer under the terrorist reign of Kivar. King Zan is being held in the palace!”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Kyle’s cries filled the air and filled the citizens of Antar with excitement. The King was in the palace. Once by one, citizens took up Kyle’s battle cry and ran towards the palace. The news spread like wildfire throughout the city. The rebels that Max and the others had freed came out from hiding to join the throng moving towards the palace. Their voices joined the others, and the story of their rescue spread throughout the growing crowd. Kyle climbed up on a low roof and addressed the milling crowd once more.<br>“Antarians! Your King is being held in the palace. He risked his life to save many of the people here from Kivar. No is your chance to save him. We must storm the palace and rescue the King and the Royal Family. Are you with me?”<br>A stiff breeze caused the flag to unfurl, it’s shimmering gold material sparkling in the sun. The Royal coat of arms was emblazoned upon the flag in a glimmering blue, and the sight of it whipped the crowd to a frenzy, and the crowd surged forward, and began to storm the palace.<br> <p><I><center>Margo is a Super ORB!</i></center><b><center><center><font color=#FFFFCC>It all started with a boy, a girl and a silver handprint.<font color =#CCCCCC><center><i>Countess Majiklmoon Mistress and keeper of the tunes</i></center></color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... 2a.gif></a> </p><i></i>

Post by majiklmoon »

well, this part certainly took a long time to write...RLS has been very demanding of late, and i apologize. Anyhow, here you go!<br><br>Sacrifice<br>A Sequel to Quietly into the Night<br>Conventional Couples<br>Rating: PG-13<br><br>Chapter Forty-Two<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Antar – Capitol City</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We are in a world of hurt,” said Michael as he listened to the sound of pounding feet approaching them. “Let’s get moving before they catch up with us.”<br>“No wait,” said Naloch, holding up a hand. “Listen to them. Do you hear what they are saying? They are shouting support to King Zan. Max, they’re our people. They must have stormed the castle!” <br>“But nobody knew we were here, there is no way they could have figured it out,” said Max.<br>“Kyle!” shouted Liz and Isabelle simultaneously. “Kyle knew!”<br>“It could be a trap,” said Max, hesitating. “Kivar could have his troops trying to smoke us out.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Liz moved closer to the noise, and listened carefully. “I don’t think so Max.”<br>“Why are you so certain it’s Kyle?”<br>“Simple, Antarian guardsmen very seldom scream ‘Go West Roswell Comets’ while in the middle of a battle,” she said smugly.<br>Max paused to listen, and he could faintly make out Kyle’s voice above the din. He signaled to the others and the all made their way toward the sounds. <br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Turning a corner they entered what appeared to be the main reception hall for the palace, but instead of seeing stately dignitaries, their senses were assaulted with the sights and sounds of battle. They surveyed the scene and located their friend and swiftly made their way across the room to fight at his side.<br>“How are we doing?” Michael asked Kyle.<br>“Same as always,” he deadpanned, paraphrasing the Luke/Han Solo exchange in <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Return of the Jedi</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.” Kyle reached into his waistband and removed a blaster and tossed it to Maria.<br>“Here, you may need this,” he shouted. “By the way, your daughter is beautiful!”<br>Michael dropped back to Maria’s side and gave her a quick lesson in operating the weapon. <br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The battle waged around them, the air filled with smoke and the stench of burning flesh. Saranara made her way over to Kyle determined to fight, and live or die by his side. Michael and Maria moved up and flanked Kyle and Saranara on the left, while Isabelle and Jereon were on the right of Kyle and Saranara. Max and Liz moved to the front, taking down as many guardsmen as they moved forward. One of the guardsmen moved stealthily up on Max’s left, unobserved. He raised his hand to send an energy blast at Max when Liz spun around on the balls of her feet and brought the guardsman down with a burst of green energy from her hand. He screamed in pain as he collapsed, and the sound seemed to echo in Liz’s ears forever.<br><br>From a balcony above them, overlooking the great hall, Kivar appeared, commanding his troops.<br>“Coward!” shouted Max, above the sounds of the battle. “Come down here Kivar, and face me like a man. There is no place for you to hide this time, and no women for you to hide behind!”<br>Kivar’s face contorted in fury, and he leaped over the balcony and landed upright on the floor below. Max battled his way over to Kivar, intent upon killing him. He was almost within striking range when he felt something hard come crashing down on his back. He collapsed to the floor. Groaning in pain, he tried to pull himself up. He looked up and saw Kivar glance briefly at him before taking aim at Liz.<br>“Liz!” he tried called out, but he was still winded from his fall and couldn’t manage more than a gasp.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp A bolt of energy emanated from Kivar’s hand, heading straight for Liz. Naloch grabbed her by the arm, and spun her out of the way, and was struck by the bolt in her stead. He collapsed to the floor, the light slowly fading from his eyes. Liz crawled over to him and took his hand in hers.<br>“You saved me,” she cried, tears falling from her eyes. “It happened, because you saved me.”<br>“Make sure they know,” he gasped. Jereon and Saranara. Tell them I love them.”<br>“I will, Naloch, I will,” she said, pressing his hand to her cheek. “Max! God Max, where are you!”<br>“No Liz, not this time,” whispered Naloch. “It is time for me to make this journey, to be with my wife, and my friends.” He looked up to look at Max who had dragged himself over to his side.<br>“You are a great King, Max. I have faith that you will do what is best for Antar.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The battle waged on, as Naloch lay dying. He squeezed Liz’s hand one more time, as if to remind her of her promise, and drew his last breath. Liz watched as the life left they eyes of her friend. She wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up. With a yell, she charged Kivar and began to attack him. She pummeled him with her small fists, and scratched at his face with her fingernails. Maria, hearing the anguished cries of her friend made her way through the battle to get as close to Liz as possible. <br>“Jesus!” she shouted, attempting to distract Kivar. “I killed you once, don’t you know how to stay dead Kivar?”<br>Kivar turned towards the strange voice that called out to him. As he did, Liz stood back and blasted him with a bolt of energy from her hand. At the same time, Isabelle hit him with another beam of energy, and he fell to the floor, his body consumed by flames.<br> <br> <p><I><center>Margo is a Super ORB!</i></center><b><center><center><font color=#FFFFCC>It all started with a boy, a girl and a silver handprint.<font color =#CCCCCC><center><i>Countess Majiklmoon Mistress and keeper of the tunes</i></center></color~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... 2a.gif></a> </p><i></i>
