Michael simply nodded at Zan as he picked Max up off the floor, carrying his brother inside. Depositing the body on the bed, Michael shut the door and headed to the living room. He still did not trust the dupes especially since Zan was supposed to be dead along with Rath.

Gathered in the living room of their newest hideout, Michael, Maria, Isabel, Alex and Kyle were standing around staring at the two newest arrivals with awe and trepidation. Rath and Zan were every bit the same as the group remembered from their last encounter, except that Zan had been missing then. Both sets of teens stared each other down as they contemplated what to say.

"You said that there were things we needed to discuss. Talk."

Zan looked hard at Rath's dupe and smirked slightly. He had heard about the Rossies from the rest of his crew. Being more alien they remembered more about what happened to them while back on Antar than the second group who were more human. Flopping himself down on the couch Zan kicked his feet up on the coffee table as he waved for each of them to take a seat. "It's a rather long story. I suggest you get comfortable"

Isabel glared a moment as she looked over at the room where her brother was laying unconscious. "Is he going to be ok? I can't loose him"

Rath studied Vilondra's dupe, realizing that she was nothing like his Lonnie but so much more like the real Vilondra. "He won't wake up until she is returned. Each of you needs to relax a moment and let Zan explain the situation. The sooner you all understand what is going on the sooner we can get Maxie to wake up."

Michael took a seat on the opposite couch pulling Maria into his lap as he prepared to listen to what they were about to say. The more information that they could uncover the faster they could bring Liz home and the sooner they could get on with their lives. Kyle took a seat to the left of Michael and Isabel and Alex shared the over sized chair to the right.

Zan took a breath a moment as he studied the ragtag mix of humans and aliens that greeted him. Memories flooded his brain of times back on Antar with the ragtag group of friends he had. A small smile tugged at his lips as he realized that even though this group had Max to be their leader he would not abandon them either. He hated having to talk in like some freak from New York so he was just going to talk and allow them to understand what they could.

"Everything started just after the summit. All of us knew that Nicholas would not be to happy if I showed up to the summit. He wanted Max and his Roswell crew to show up where he planned to try to have you all killed. So Rath and I concocted a plan to fake my death. We succeeded and I went into hiding until the business with the summit was over. We all laid low after that trying to figure out Nicholas' plans in hopes that we could take him out. We figured if we took out Nicholas at least we would all be safer until we found out how to get off this rock."

As Zan had been talking Maria's stomach started to rumble. None of them bothered to eat breakfast or had anything to fill their empty stomachs. Placing a small kiss on Maria's head Michael sat her to the side so he could stand up. "Can we continue this in a little while? None of us have eaten yet." As he spoke he headed towards the kitchen and started pulling out items. The whole group followed him and started placing their orders for breakfast. Flashing everyone a smile Michael set about his work as Rath and Zan watched in awe.

"Yous can cook man? I keep trying to get Rath here to learn with me but he won't budge. I tend to burn things."

Michael laughed as he started dishing out bacon, eggs, sausage and toast. Maria was handed her plate first before he handed everyone else their food. When everyone was served he dug into his own plate as he spoke. "I sort of had to learn. Hank wasn't exactly the best father figure and if I didn't cook myself dinner I would have starved." Everyone sat in quiet for a bit as they finished their meals. When the plates were stacked in the sinks Zan ran his hand over the dishes watching them clean before ushering everyone into the living room again.

When everyone was settled again Zan continued with his story. "The last time we were all together Rath and Lonnie told that one set of us was more alien while the other was more human. What we didn't know at the time was that that there was in fact nine of us. After the Summit we tracked Nicholas back here to Roswell. He was working with someone else here who called himself Nesado trying to find the ninth alien."

There were outraged shouts coming from everyone but Michael who's gaze was at the doorway where Max was still out. He was remembering the conversation between the two of them as Zan and Rath. "She has been with us this whole time hasn't she? It's how she knew that the granilith could be dangerous in the wrong hands. It's how she knew she could trust us from the beginning. I always knew there was something special about her. I mean of all the girls in the world why did he fight so hard to keep her in his life even though he was technically married to Tess in a past life."

Silence filled the room as everyone processed what was said before Rath spoke. "I realized it the first time we showed up here in Roshell. Lonnie and I were digging through Max's sock drawer where we discovered Liz's photo. I won't go into the details of that conversation but it led me to the high school. I was hoping to get information from Liz so I sorta just kissed her. It was then that I discovered who she really was even though she had no idea."

Before Rath could finish speaking a fist had connected with his jaw. Standing above him was a raging Michael that Zan and Kyle were trying to hold back. Black eyes gazed down at the man who was currently rubbing his jaw. "Touch my little sister again and I will kill you." The alien side of Michael, the side that made him Rath was beyond pissed off that someone other than the king, other than Zan would dare to touch his sister.

Zan squeezed Michael's shoulder gently sending a small wave of energy through him. "Rath calm down. It will do you no good to harm someone who can help us get your sister back. There are two people counting on you right now and you need to calm down and keep your head."

The words mixed with the energy had the desired effect as the alien side of Michael retreated and his eyes took on their usual brown shade. Energy and tension charged the air around the teens as they resumed their spots on the couch again. Rath looked over at Michael with a frown knowing he felt the same way about it himself. "I had no idea who she was. I just wanted to see if she was someone that could be trusted. After it happened I felt so horrible when I figured out exactly who she was."

Zan decided that now was the time to finish the story and bring everyone up to speed.

"Needless to say we followed Nicholas and Nasedo here to this place as they worked out their plans for taking out Liz. It seemed that they had figured that with the human out of the way Max would be more willing to give over the location of the granilith. The more they tried to get to her the more their plans were foiled by Tess' own machinations under the instructions of Nasedo. While we were down here we were also able to uncover the truth about what happened to us on Antar." His gaze swept to Isabel for a moment as his eyes softened. "Even being more alien the only one of us that remembers everything is myself. I guess that comes from being the last one murdered.

To get on with the story, neither of Nicholas nor Nesado had any idea who Liz truly was they simply wanted her out of the way. So while all of you were busy dealing with Tess, Rath and I were here trying to keep them from succeeding. If we had known exactly what Tess was planning we might have been able to save Liz from this whole thing. See while we were tracking the skins Ava and Lonnie were back in New York trying to dig up dirt on the granilith.

We found out plenty just before you guys showed up. Three days ago there was a major disturbance in the area around the crash site. We could feel the shift so we abandoned our quest for a day and traveled to the area that housed the crash. It was like a beacon showing us the way. Rath and I were able to sneak inside after Liz and the others where we saw the whole event. We knew that something big was about to happen, Rath had always been able to predict things. He called them gut feelings but really they were more premonitions.

A part of Max, the part of Zan that is buried inside of him is coming awake. We were born more in touch with the part inside of us that gives us our special abilities and because of it we also remember more of who we used to be. Michael, you and Isabel have already gone through the awakening. Isabel yours started when the skins first attacked and you had to save Tess but it wasn't finalized until Alex went into a coma. Michael you were the first awakened, yours happening after the incident with Hank. It takes a event of great emotional toll to bring forth our alien side. "

Zan took a moment to allow each of them to contemplate what he has told them. While it doesn't yet explain why they are really there, it was enough to give them something to think about. Standing up for a moment Zan headed into the kitchen grabbing sodas for everyone and coming back.

"There are some things we need to tell you, to explain to you. After you hear this then what is going to happen to Max will make more sense." Rath spoke softly as he waited for Zan's return.

Zan and Rath spent the next few hours explaining the history of who they were and the significance of Liz in their life. There were many questions but all were answered except for the parts about Ava. None of them seemed to understand why she would betray them. "Lonnie and Aves are going to stay in New York until they can close up the loose ends. We all want to be here when Liz returns." It was easy enough for Zan and Rath to not dislike their Ava she was kinder than they remembered.

~~

As the others are spending hours learning their history Max is trapped deep within his mind reliving all of his past life mistakes. From the first time he met Lyssaria to their deaths he realized that he never stopped loving her even when he was married to Tess.

Sweat poured of his body as it kept its place a foot above the bed. Green sparks of lighting coursed through his veins as he felt the pull to his alien side. He was becoming Zan and less of Max knowing that nothing would stand in his way to getting Liz back. His body was getting in tune with itself and with the part of him that belonged to Lyssaria, to Liz, his soul mate.

Pain ran through his body as he started shaking and screaming out in pain. Everyone that had occupied the living room was currently standing in the bedroom as Zan tried to heal Max somewhat to ease the pain. "His connection with her is stronger than I ever imagined. The reason our Ava is different is because she is part Lyssaria and part Ava but Max here has had to face the two as separate entities."

"Is he going to be ok?" Isabel queried in a soft whisper.

"For now he will be. His alien side is fighting to get out, to go after his wife, his love, his Liz. He wants to hurt everyone that stands in his way but the human side of him is trying to calm it down and simply reach out to her. He will be in pain until she is returned." Rath sighed as he tried to give Zan energy to keep healing Max.

"His body is awaking to not only his alien side but his king side. There are things that he will be driven to do because of a biological urge implanted in all kings. He will not be the same, there will be times when he will choose her over you but keep in mind, he is king. He has a duty to protect not only the queen but his people, he is solely responsible for keeping the royal line going. The weight of both planets will rest on his shoulders and each of you will need to help him. Liz is his rock and there will be times that only she will be able to reach him. This is one of those times. Now come let us all leave him to rest." Zan spoke as he watched Max's body filter back down to the bed though the green lighting was still racing across his skin.
