Part 57

“Get out of my way, I have to get to her,” Max shouted as he tried to shove Michael out of his way. Jim and Kyle grabbed him and held him back.

“Max, get a hold of yourself,” Jim said, shoving Max against the wall. “You can’t go rushing out there. Give us a few minutes. Let’s assess the situation, and we’ll figure something out. We’re not going to leave Liz there.”

”Max, Jim is right, we’ll get Liz. We’re not going to leave her behind, but you’ve got to give us a chance to figure everything out. If you go rushing out there, you are going to get yourself killed. What good is that going to do?” said Isabelle.

“But it’s Liz out there, I have to get to her!” Max cried.

“Right, and not too long ago, it was Jesse, and you got him out. We’ll get Liz out to,” Isabelle said to her distraught brother. “Now shut up and let us come up with a plan.”

“Um, I think you should all shut up for a minute and listen to me,” said Maria. “Liz is awake out there. She’s not unconscious.”

“That’s impossible,” Kyle said, hotly. “I haven’t been able to contact her.”

“Look, I don’t know about earlier, but right now, out there, she’s awake.”

“Maria,” Michael said. “How can you be sure?”

“Ok, when we were in junior high, I had an awful time with spelling, I still do as a matter of fact. Anyhow, Liz and I were studying sign language and we learned how to spell things out with our fingers. We used it then so she could help me with my spelling tests.”

“As interesting as this trip down memory lane is Maria,” snapped Max. “What does this have to do with anything?”

“Look at her hands, she’s trying to tell us something.”

Max whipped around and looked back out the glass door and sure enough, Liz was lying on her side, using her body to block her hand from view.

“Well, what is she saying?” he demanded.

“God Max, give me a second, will you. We are talking something we did in junior high, in far less stressful circumstances.” Maria moved closer to the door and concentrates. “A-L-L-I-E-S. Allies? What does she mean by that? Wait, she’s spelling something else. W-E-H-A-V-E-A-L-L-I-E-S.”

“We have allies,” said Jim. “Damn, what does she mean?”

“I don’t know, but we can’t sit here all day trying to figure it out,” said Max. “We have to figure out something, and we have to do it fast.”

“I’m afraid we don’t have time for that Max,” said Maria. “She says we should attack now.”

Without hesitation Michael pushed to the front and opened the door, and charged out, flanked by Max and Kyle. Jim and Isabelle followed them, leaving Maria to bring up the rear.

As they charged forward, the lobby filled with bodies. Kivar called his men to arms, and they lined up in formation against the others. With Kivar’s attention focused elsewhere, Liz took the opportunity to stand up and move beside her husband for their final showdown.

** * ** *

Outside the building, Geoff kept watch over Jesse who had finally woken up. For the longest time, he was incoherent, but as time passed, his speech cleared up, but what he was saying terrified Geoff. Making a decision, he radioed the others to rendezvous with him. In about fifteen minutes the others arrived. Amy noticed right away that her daughter was missing.

”Geoff, where’s Maria?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly in fear of the answer.

“She went back in with Michael. They said Max contacted them via Kyle and he wanted her in there, but I’m not sure if I believe it. I think something happened in there. I think they have Liz.”

Nancy gasps in shock, and Geoff hung his head with his pronouncement and then looked back up at the others. “But that’s not why I called you, it’s this.” He stepped aside and they saw Jesse, tied to a tree.

“Jesse!” Diane gasped as she instinctively moved towards him. Philip grabbed her by the arm to hold her back.

“He’s dangerous honey. You heard what the kids said. They think he’s a traitor.”

“I’m no traitor,” said Jesse. “That’s what I keep trying to tell Mr. Parker. I never sold them out, never. I love Isabelle. I’ve been trying to protect them.”

“What about the papers Isabelle found in your office in Boston?” demanded Philip.

“They were planted by Kivar. I’ll admit he had control over me for a time, but I fought it. I’ve been fighting it for so long, trying to feed him as much misinformation as I possibly can. But he figured it out the other night. I don’t know how, but he took great pleasure in beating me, and torturing me beyond belief.”

“Well, you’re looking pretty healthy now,” said Philip, looking at Jesse’s unmarked body in disbelief.

“Max healed him before they got him out,” Geoff said. “Michael told me, so he’s telling the truth about that anyhow.”

“Look, you need to believe me. Kivar knows they’re here, and he is hell bent on revenge. That entire building is wired to explode. He’s planning a massive battle, and he wanted to ensure a win at all costs. He decided to make sure he’d win no matter what. If it turns out that Max and Isabelle are winning, he is going to blow up the building. We have to get in there and warn them.”

“I don’t know what to believe anymore,” said Geoff shaking his head. “We need to decide this one together.”

“I think we should believe him,” said Diane.

“Me too,” said Amy. “I don’t have anything to base it on other than intuition, but I think he’s telling the truth.”

“Philip, what about you?” asked Geoff.

“I don’t know,” he said, shaking his head. “There are just so many variables to take into consideration.”

“We need a decision Philip,” urged Geoff.

“I say let’s trust him. If he’s telling the truth, then I’m going in there myself to help our kids, and I’m taking him with me. If I find out that he’s lying, I won’t hesitate to use this,” he said, pulling a gun out of the waistband of his pants.”

“Nancy, what about you?”

“We have to trust him, we have no choice. Geoff, we need to get in there and help them,” her voice caught on a sob at the though of her daughter in danger.

“Well then, we agree,” said Geoff, bending down to untie Jesse from the tree. The last rope falls away, and Jesse shoved Geoff out of the way and takes off running towards the building.

“Isabelle!” he screamed.

The others took off after him, running towards the building. Jesse, with his head start got there first and pulled the door open and ran into the lobby.

“Isabelle, run, it’s a trap,” he shouted, throwing himself into the air between Isabelle and Kivar.

Kivar stood poised, his arm upraised, ready to take fire at Isabelle. He let loose with a bolt of energy, which was blocked by Jesse’s body passing between the two. Jesse crashed to the ground as bolts of energy begin to fly from both sides. The parents rushed through the door and into the battle, with guns drawn. They immediately deployed to the perimeter of the room and began to fire at the Antarians. Several bullets managed to find their mark before the Antarians realized what was happening.

”Naloch, where are you?” roared Kivar. “Take care of these useless humans.” Kivar spared a second from the battle, trying to locate Naloch, but was unable to see him anywhere. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the balcony of the upper level.

“True Antarians, take heed, the true King is among us. All hail King Zan!”

At his words, the lobby fills with more Antarians. They rushed to side with their king and began to fight against Kivar’s soldiers. Naloch leapt down from the balcony to stand by his King.

“Your Majesty,” he shouted over the sounds of the battle. “Kivar’s men can’t be killed by energy blasts, they are able to absorb the energy and send it back to you. You must touch them to kill destroy them!”

At Naloch’s words, Max threw up a protective shield to block the energy bolts from Kivar’s men.

“We have to touch them,” he shouted to the others. We’ll move up as one, and as soon as we are close enough, I’ll lower the shield and grab them!”

Max raised his hand and puts up a shield, and the others form an offensive line and moved forward. As soon as they were in range, Max lowered the shield and they rushed forward and began to grab Kivar’s men. With the help of the loyal Antarians, they managed to destroy most of Kivar’s followers. Soon, all that was left was Kivar himself, and several of his men who are crying for Krecha.

Max shot Naloch a questioning look and he explained that Krecha is the Antarian word for surrender. Before Max could say anything, Kivar reached into his pocket and pulls out a compact device.

“I still win Zan,” he said with a sneer. “Welcome to your final resting place. He moved his hand to depress a button located at the center of the device.

Jim, acting instinctively, drew his gun and was poised to shoot Kivar when Jesse pulled himself up and launched himself at Kivar shouting, “It’s a bomb, run Isabelle run. Get out!”

Kivar blasted him again, and Jesse crumpled to the ground. Isabelle bent over his body, crying, when suddenly, Kivar fell forward. Looking up, the others see Maria; standing behind him with the lead pipe Michael had given her raised over her head prepared to hit him again if necessary. Naloch rushed forward, and puts his hand on Kivar’s chest and Kivar’s body dissolves into dust.

This story just gets better and better. so please continue and let us know what happens with Jesse and what Max and the others are going to do. <br>The question that I have is how did Liz know that they had allies in there? Like I said this is good but you still have alot of questions that need to be answered.

Part 58

“Jesse,” Max shouted, running over to the body of his brother-in-law. He placed his hand on Jesse’s chest, and tried to heal him, but it was too late. He looked up at his sister and shook his head, tears glistening in his eyes.

“I’m sorry Isabelle, there wasn’t anything I could do.” Isabelle knelt down before the body of her husband and placed a kiss on his lips.

“I know that Max,” she said as the tears streaked silently down her face. “He died saving me, saving us. He wasn’t a traitor at all.”

“Indeed he was not,” said Naloch, stepping forward. “Jesse fought the power of Kivar’s mind warp for a very long time, and he was quite successful. He consistently fed Kivar misinformation that made capturing you all the more difficult. He also misled Kivar regarding the strength of your powers. He is a true hero, and his name will long be remembered in the annuls of Antarian history.”

“Does somebody mind explaining what in the hell just happened here?” shouted Max. “Who are you people and what is going on?”

“Your Majesty,” said Naloch, bowing to Max. If I may explain?”

“Uh yeah, please do,” said Max sarcastically. “And make it the long version please.”

“We are a band of freedom fighters from Antar,” began Naloch. “From the time Kivar’s dictatorship began, there have been those who have worked tirelessly to depose him and restore the true ruler to the throne. As you are by now aware, you were created by mixing your essence with human DNA. We’ve been watching you as closely as possible since you emerged from your pods. Our scientists have been working day and night to develop the technology to allow us to travel to Earth to protect you from Kivar and his forces. However, we had no sooner mastered the technology than Kivar’s people stole the information from us. Fortunately, we have always had a large network of spies who had infiltrated Kivar’s army. When we found out he wanted to use the technology to come to Earth to destroy you, we knew we had no choice but to act.”

“Well, why didn’t you just tell us what was going on?” asked Liz.

“Would you have trusted us?” Naloch responded, dryly.

“Probably not,” she admitted.

“And that is why we didn’t contact you. In fact, you made it remarkably hard to trace you. All of you were very skillful in eluding Kivar’s men.”

“Look, all we want to know, is are our children safe?” Philip asked.

“Yes, they are safe from Kivar’s men.”

“What about the FBI special unit?” asked Amy, stepping forward from where she had been comforting her daughter.

“There never was a special unit of the FBI, or rather, there hasn’t been for a number of years. Those people who captured Max were Kivar’s men. They had been sent here many years ago to track down the royal four and eliminate them. However, they didn’t count on all of you being quite so resourceful.”

“So we’re safe. We can have our lives back?” asked Max. “We can come home to Roswell and just be ourselves again?”

“Well, we had rather assumed that you would want to come back to Antar and take your place as the rightful King,” answered Naloch.

“What!” shouted Philip. “They can’t leave, they belong here with us. We’re their family.”

“Be that as it may,” said Naloch. “King Zan has a destiny to follow, and a world to rule.”

“Not that I’m saying I’m going, but how would I even be able to get there? Do you have a ship nearby?” Max asked.
