The roar of the motorcycle engine filled the quiet of the desert air as she started to race away. The Jeep and other cars followed behind, not too far but just enough that it wouldn’t look too suspicious. That might be why they missed the fourth vehicle that joined them. The one, containing a mysterious man, who was trying to get his way in this world. If he was friend or foe, well that is to be determined but he would follow the group of teens and see where they went.

Everything happened for a reason and Liz understood that. The power it had taken to reach out to the Max’s, especially her Max had used everything she had. With a weak smile she looked at Tess before closing her eyes. Rest would be the thing she needed to heal, to be better. Inside her body things were changing, still, even with the help of the granolith. To the world she had been born Elizabeth Claudia Parker, or Liz as she preferred to be called but that was a lie. She was Lyssaria, baby sister to Rath and the one true queen of Antar. Images still swirled into her head about their lives all those centuries ago on a planet long thought dead. True the recent trip to Antar was proof enough that the planet was alive, but it wasn’t the same. Since Khivar’s rule Antar had disappeared from the radar, hiding in the shadows away from the other planets in their system. Unlike when Zan was ruling, there was no peace, no prosperity and no trade between the planets.

Blue eyes held fear in them as Liz’s body crumpled inside the protective barrier she was in. Tess was at a loss on what to do. Even Ava was at a loss for words as Tess finally allowed that side of her to merge. Being awakened was only the first step, it opened up the channel between the body and the granolith and allowed the memories to seep in and the essence of the alien to awaken. However, the next step was to accept that alien part of you. They had to allow it to merge with them, to give up the humanity that they were fond of to become something more than human. Allowing Ava to take control Tess merged with her alien and it worried her that her queen would do so while unconscious. She cared not about how people would react to her, about the type of welcome she would receive from Max and Zan when they found her.

Noises outside their haven brought the petite blonde’s eyes open. It was now time to face the inevitable standing guard outside of Liz’s location Ava watched as Max, Zan and the rest of the group rushed in. Everyone seemed to stop upon seeing her and she could see the hands raise, preparing to attack her. She had promised herself that she would accept whatever punishment they deemed of her, even death. True Liz has promised to tell them that she wasn’t at fault here but with her being unconscious it would be hard to do. Standing tall and proud the true Antarian in her sneered at those that came in, knowing that only two of them were equal to her. There was no doubt in her mind that, while she was staring at Max and Zan, only one of them was the true Zan king of Antar.

~~~

Max had no idea where he was going to end up but he knew how to find his Liz. She was growing weak, but not in the way that her pulse was fading but that her power was slipping. He was trying to reach out to her, to let her know that everything would be ok. So many things had happened in the days since she had been gone, since he had awoken. Everything was spinning out of control and for once he just wished he knew what to do. Something was whispering in his mind, telling him that he needed to get to Liz soon. She was going through a change, one that would allow her to bear the heir to the king, something his queen had never managed to do before they were all murdered. Dark amber eyes scanned the horizon of the desert as they noticed the trail of cars behind him. He could spot the Jetta that Maria was driving, with several people tucked inside. Kyle’s mustang was just behind that. They had left Tess’s van back at their secret hideout, thinking it might be too conspicuous in the desert. Michael had grumbled about not having his bike, especially after seeing Zan’s.

There was a fourth car that seemed to be following them, one that Max had seen around town. He wasn’t sure what to do but right now he needed to get to his Liz before something else happened to them. Whoever it was that was following them would face their wrath soon enough, if he was a threat. Max could feel the pulsing beacon of his queen, and he slammed on the gas before veering right sharply. Stopping the jeep roughly near an outcropping of rocks, he climbed out and scoured the area. He could feel her pulsing around him, and pushed through the illusion of the rocks. Bursting through, he skidded to a stop with everyone on his heels as he saw Tess standing there. He couldn’t fight the need to raise his arm, to use his power to blast her into oblivion. He wasn’t expecting to her words to the contrary.

“Zan don’t please. This isn’t the same Tess that took Liz; she’s Ava now just as you are Zan. The only one of the three that hasn’t finished the process is Liz. If you kill Ava you will destroy the thing that is keeping your queen alive. It was all we could do to stop the wound from seeping after Khivar hurt her, she needs you and only you. Tend to the queen now or watch Antar fall for good.”

The voice wasn’t one that was familiar to any of the group except for Serena and she growled under her breath. Now was not the time for Cal to show up, he had given up his rights as a protector when he abandoned them and now he shows up out of the blue. Serena wanted to hurt him but the older man was right. Max needed to tend to Liz before she got worse.

Tess wasn’t sure what to do. It was taboo not to bow to her king but now was not the time. There was still one final step for him be that powerful. Keeping her head lowered, Tess bowed slightly as she moved out of the way allowing Max to approach the area where Liz was.

Amber eyes saw his love laying there, her breathing even in sleep as he tried to gather his thoughts. He had no trouble passing through the barrier that kept everyone out. Kneeling down next to Liz he tapped into his powers and healed her once again. The wound, as strange as it sounds, was in the same place as the bullet all that time ago. He could feel her change finish with him, she was letting Lyssaria have control and it was for the best. He needed his true queen by his side, the person that balanced him out and kept the darker side of him from coming out.

Opening her eyes, Liz smiled up at the person near her. “Max. My Max it’s good to see you. We have much to discuss. Can we get out of here?” Trying to sit up she sighed when she realized that she couldn’t because Max wasn’t going to let her out of his site.

“If I may, I can get us and our cars back to a safe location quickly. There is much that all of us must discuss.” Cal spoke.

Max/Zan didn’t trust the man but talking here wasn’t the best idea. Nodding his head he turned his attention back to Liz, so glad to have her in his arms once again. They would talk later, about things in her journal and things between the two of them. It was three seconds later that he realized they were back at the house the group had left from. All of their cars were parked outside and the group was sitting on the couches. Liz was yawning in his arms and he knew she had to be tired. They weren’t the official king and queen yet, true he was by blood but they had yet to consummate their relationship which would grant her the status she needed to rule.

~~~

Taking a moment to catch her breath, Liz started to speak.

“What I have to say is going to take some time to explain. I need everyone to have patience and understanding while I try to explain. Save your questions until the end and I will do my best along with Serena to address them all.” Casting her eyes from one member of her small family to the next, Liz knew she had their attention even the dupes and she hadn’t expected them to stick around.

Everyone was going to be vital to the final battle. Each had a role to play and she couldn’t tell them what it was because it might jeopardize their roles more than they like. She understood everyone’s feelings; perhaps that was her new gift now that she was more alien than before. Letting out the breath she had been holding Liz started the talk.

“Everything that we learned came straight from the granolith. We all know already that Max was the king, and he was called Zan. We know that Michael was the second in command named Rath, and the betrothed of the princess Vilandra who is Isabel. We were misinformed however, about the identity of the queen. Tess can attest to this, as she was the one hurt the most in this situation.

See everyone was under the deluded illusion that Khivar placed upon the planet. His power is strong, the only one stronger was Zan. See Khivar created Ava, she was a mix of his DNA and a humans. The idea was that she would be the most aesthetically pleasing to Zan, that she would be the perfect girl and would become the queen. By doing so, he would have an inside person in the castle who could let him in for the assassination. He couldn’t trust Vilandra to truly love him, and honestly I don’t blame her for not. Every single person on the planet was under the impression that Zan was set to marry Ava, and even during the ceremony it was Ava that appeared to the populace even thought it was really Lyssaria who was marrying the king.

Khivar, like Ava, has the power to manipulate the mind and allow people to see what he wants. He used this power to distract everyone so he could get into the castle and murder everyone. The order of death wasn’t important but Ava was murdered first, and Zan was forced to watch as Lyssaria was murdered before he was killed himself. His mother, along with a family friend, Larek, managed to gather enough essence from all of us that they could make three sets of aliens to send to Earth. The first set didn’t make it off of Antar, Khivar discovered it and destroyed them while they were still being incubated. He didn’t expect your mother to try again.”

Taking a moment to wipe away the tears from her eyes Liz looked into the amber eyes of her lover and sighed. Oh how glad she was to see Max again, to know that what she was telling people would change their lives forever.

“The second set; well there was only enough essence of Lyssaria to make one attempt at her. The second set was more alien than human and they were destined for New York City, you guys know the rest of that one, the third set well they ended up in Roswell New Mexico, more human than alien. Each group was supposed to have a protector, someone that was there when they awoke to show them the ways of Antar and to prepare them for going back and fighting Khivar. You see… The essence of Lyssaria was never supposed to end up being reborn, I was never supposed to exist.

I am the baby sister of Rath, the only daughter born into a family of male warriors. Rath’s father put his foot down, demanding that only Rath be reborn and not his daughter. I was an outcast, only loved by my brother and his best friend. Ava was instead reborn in my place and the memories of the true identity of the queen were altered and everyone was supposed to believe it was Ava. It was easier that way, after all.”

Resting her head on Max’s shoulder Liz hiccupped a moment as her tears fell. She couldn’t talk more about it, it was too painful. Looking over at the group each person had their attentions pointed on her.

Serena knew that her queen wasn’t ready to talk more, so she would take over instead. “Allow me to pick up where our queen left off. There was little time for them to make sure that everything went according to plan. The elders had to launch the pods and simply hope that they survived. So they did but one of the guardians was on Khivar’s side. You see only Cal was a true guardian but once he came to earth he realized that he much rather enjoyed being human than having to protect the race to which he belonged. I can’t fault him for that after all everyone assumed that the true king was dead, with the crash and everything.

Lyssaria’s essence was mixed with the DNA of two humans, Claudia Parker and Nancy Parker and she was placed in the human directly. Only myself and a few others knew that the true queen was going to be reborn. Max, Zan, whatever name he goes by on this planet knew who she was from the moment he saw her. They are linked, by a love so pure it’s a part of their essence.

You know the stories of the rest, about how Tess grew up. When Tess fulfilled her promise to her father, her guardian and Khivar’s brother and brought Liz to Antar, she was actually allowing herself to break the control that had been over her for a long time. It was on Antar that Liz met myself, and a friend who would show her and Tess the true way of things. If Liz was not truly Lyssaria then the granolith would have killed her and she would not have managed to temporarily defeat Khivar and his schemes. Do not punish Tess for her actions, they were ingrained in her by something she couldn’t control.”

As Serena spoke she used her powers to show everyone the events that had happened on Antar, to let the others know that they needed to be awakened and to merge with their alien sides or they would never survive Khivar’s plans. “Antar needs you”

~~~

It was strange for everyone to sit there and listen to the story but to be shown the truth of both their pasts and their present was even more strange. There was more to the story, as they were told. While Zan and Lyssaria would forever be linked as husband and wife, as king and queen the others were free to choose their own mates. Only the King of Antar was forced to submit to the actual betrothal. Everyone sat there in stunned silence as they wondered just what to do. It was Liz’s yawn that forced Max into action.

“How about we all call it a night and we discuss our plans in the morning.”

With nods of agreement everyone got up slowly and headed off to their designated bedrooms. Well everyone but Serena and Tess. Neither woman knew where they were supposed to sleep, especially Tess, she couldn’t understand why they hadn’t killed her yet.

When a hand ended up in front of Tess she looked up shocked. It was Kyle, she had expected him to never speak to her again. “What.. Kyle?”

“There are things that happened to each of us that are out of our control, we cannot hold you responsible for actions that were programmed into you. Come on, let’s get some sleep.”

Unable to argue with Kyle, Tess simply took his hand and allowed her to be lead to the room. She would work things out with Kyle later; right now she was worried about her queen.

With everyone in their assigned rooms, Max and Liz wondered what was going to happen now. Both had been through their awakenings, had allowed part of the alien inside of them control but they knew that something else was driving them.

~~~

Looking into each other’s eyes, Liz and Max knew what was about to happen and it was going to change everyone’s lives forever. Neither one was going to pretend that their friends were oblivious, it was obvious how much they loved each other.

“God Liz I thought I was going to die when you were taken but somehow I was able to connect with you. It was so strange, the feelings I went through, the dreams we shared while we waited for you to return.” Max was at a loss for words and he refused to allow Liz to leave his arms.

“Max I love you, I always have, always will. We are the only ones who can defeat Khivar and to do that we have to take the next steps. Do you know how many of those dreams that I had during our awakening I was afraid would never have in reality.”

Her words were cut off by Max’s lips crashing down on hers. Neither was in the mood for slowness that could be done later when they weren’t pressed for time. Tearing at clothes, both were stripped down quicker than they were expecting. Max wanted Liz’s love knew that once they took this step there would be no going back. The whole world would know that she belonged to him and not just because she would bear the tattoo of their galaxy.

Hands moved up and down bodies, lips kissed patches of skin that was barred to them as they could. Looking into Liz’s eyes, Max needed to know that she was ok with this. “Liz.. I have to take you now. We have to do this but.. I love you too much to hurt you.”

“My Max your too kind, relax. I love you and nothing will ever change that. Make the world know that I belong to you.” Liz spoke on a sigh as his lips found a spot that was most sensitive just behind her ear.

No more talking was done, both simply giving themselves over to the feeling of being in each other’s arms. Positioning himself at just the right spot, Max swiftly entered Liz gasping almost immediately at the sensation of being inside of his one true love. Pain ripped through Liz but only for a moment as she felt the warm tingling of Max’s healing powers rush through her, something he was doing almost unconsciously.

As they moved against each other power shot out all around them. It started with their bodies glowing gold and expanded outwards. Their power encompassed everyone in the tiny house, letting them feel the love of their king and queen. It was obvious what was happening, the need to be accepted and loved thick in the air. No one was going to interrupt them, but they knew that tomorrow things would change.

For two hours Max and Liz moved with each other, allowed their love to pour into each other as much as they gave. At the height of their passion they could feel themselves merge into the other, feel their bond sealing. Being able to read each other’s minds was the result as they broke apart and reformed.

Laying there, in each other’s arms, Max and Liz simply basked in the pleasure of each other. Liz rested her head on Max’s chest and let herself fall asleep. Max would stay awake a bit longer making sure that nothing was going to hurt them as they rested. He had seen the flashes of what happened to Liz during her time on Antar and it bothered him. They needed to take care of Khivar, to show their people that they weren’t gone for good. As long as Liz was by his side Max knew that he be anywhere and happy.

~~~

The morning came too quickly for everyone and the smell of pancakes and waffles drifted to the nose of the still sleeping occupants. As each person awoke slowly, they dressed and headed into the kitchen were Rath and Michael was making breakfast. Both had come to an agreement and they knew that things were only going to get more interesting.

Each member of the group sat there eating wondering just what was going to happen. They weren’t ready to face Khivar, not yet at least. That battle is for another time and another story instead they were still trying to understand everything that had been told to them. The granolith was calling each of the aliens in a way, wanting them to bring the humans along for the ride.

Everyone one knows the truth behind the lies but the future was still up in the air.
