Mulder and Scully Residence,
Remote Log Cabin near the Hilltop Plateau outside of Lusk, Wyoming:
Dec. 19th 2012:
The cabin begun to rumble and Skinner was knocked off his feet. The others clutched something to hold them steady as the earthquake passed. William appeared just as he had when he'd left, in the same clothes like an abductee but absent was the dazed look in his eye; he was fully in control of everything that was happening. He stared at his father in the bed and a tear trailed down his cheek. He walked over to his mother as she sat on the floor, overcome with grief.
"Mom," he said.
Scully's head tilted upward and her eyes struggled to focus on her son. William placed a soft young hand on her shoulder and she began to whimper. "William?", she said, gripping him and moaning into his chest.
She cried out and William could feel her pain and love for his father. He knew then that what his parents had was an eternal love that was unique in the universe, one that could not be duplicated anywhere else in any other worlds. He knew also that his mother was immortal while his father was obviously not. He glanced at his father's corpse and back at his mother and could see Mulder's spirit touching her shoulder. Mulder's spirit locked eyes with William and he nodded. He loosened his grip on his mother.
"It's going to be okay," he said. "You were both right," he said. "They were lying to me. They were tricking me so they could kill off my dad." he said, with clouded red eyes. "I'm sorry," William said, as his mother, smoothed her hand over his face to wipe his tear.
"It's not your fault," Scully said.
"It is my fault," William said. "I should've listened."
Scully chuckled hysterically. "William, you're still just a little boy!"
William walked over to the bed. There was only one remedy to his parents love since death had not separated them before. And death would not separate them this time and William would make sure that death would not separate them ever again. He was sure that with his determined touch, his father's fate would be forever changed eternally and he would never be separated by death from his mother again. William threw his hand back and slammed it down with an enormous force on Mulder's chest. Mulder sat up suddenly and Scully stared at him as if he were a delusion. Mulder's color instantly returned, gone were the black eyes and the blue lips and the sickness and the pale skin. He was back to normal, his green eyes sparkling as he looked at her. "Scully?", he said, drawing her into his arms.
Scully felt the warmth of Mulder and she fainted in his arms. "Scully? Scully?", Mulder said, as he laid her down in what was his own death bed just a few seconds before.
"I'll sit with her," Maggie said. "And I'll change the sheets," Maggie said, already swapping out pillow cases, as she watched her daughter sleep.
"Okay," Mulder said, reluctantly. "I'm not going anywhere though. I want the first thing she sees when she wakes up to be me."
"The war starts now," William said, looking up at his father. "I need your help, dad."
"I'm here!", Mulder said, placing a hand on William's shoulder. "Thank You, son."
"You're my father. I'd do anything for you just as you would me."
Mulder smiled down at his son. "You can read my mind, you already know I would,"
William placed his hand on top of his father's. "Let's win this war!"
Mulder lay in the bed and pulled Scully to him, she opened her eyes and smiled. "I had a bad dream," she said, as he kissed her cheek.
"Oh?", he said, moving down her jawline. "What was it?"
"Never mind," she said, as he began to shower her with kisses. "Mulder?"
"Hmm?", he said, looking into her eyes.
"It was no dream was it?"
"No, Scully, it was no dream."
She sat up in the bed and looked at her clothes and then at Mulder. "You were dead."
"And our son brought us back together."
"Where is he?"
"Asleep," Mulder said. "Spending time with his grandmother before fighting a war," he chuckled. "He's incredible and yet, he came from us. How is that possible, Scully? I mean, really?"
She stared deep into his eyes and into his soul. "I don't ever want to lose you again, Mulder. I can't take it."
"I know," he said, touching her face. "But, we need to put that all aside for right now," he said, growing serious. "We have to think about stopping colonization first and then we can talk about forever for you and me."
Scully stared into his eyes and her heart leapt. "Okay," she said. "As long as you hold me, Mulder. As long as you touch me." she said, with love in her eyes. "As long as I can hear your voice and smell your skin, and know that you love me and you will always be there for me, I can do and will do anything!"
Mulder pressed her warm body against him trying to meld her body against his. "And your love is all I will ever need for eternity, Scully."
There he was in front of her healthy and alive. She wiped a salty tear from under his eyelid and then kissed the spot where it had been. Her eyes darkened and she licked her lips as she stared into the forest depths of his eyes, "Then Show me."
Dec. 20th 2012:
Skinner and Doggett had managed over the past months through their connections to arrange for a few handheld rocket launchers and machine guns, enough equipment that would have alerted the attention of the FBI who would've labeled their compound as 'separatist' on some list by someone just like them. But they were convinced they'd already been surveyed by the FBI ever since they'd all started living off the grid having moving out to Wyoming, all a bunch of former FBI agents, living together on a remote compound. They'd concluded that they must've been considered as non-threats from the lack of cars following them around town or 'stranger's' watching them. When the excitement and the surveillance had disappeared, they'd gotten their machine guns and other weapons delivered by a few 'underground connections. And so everyone including Maggie Scully, grabbed a gun as the skies were littered ship to ship with UFO's observing their every move. The Super Soldiers were all standing and staring at their compound, waiting for the war to the began. It was now time to fight for heaven and earth.
William stood next to his parents. His small hand fitting into theirs. Mulder looked into Scully's eyes and winked. She smiled back, ready to fight. They're were strong, united and ready to battle.
"You ready?", Mulder asked, as he looked around at Doggett, Reyes, Skinner and Maggie who were all stationws against the wall ready to fire.
"READY!", they screamed.
"Let's begin!", Mulder said.
William nodded as his parents, grabbed their machine guns and ran together into position behind their fort-like wall for defense. William turned his attention up to the skies above him. He looked up and thought about the ways the Aliens had tried to trick him into using him to help them kill off his father and all human beings. He pointed to a UFO and plasma shot from his hands and it exploded knocking him and everyone else to the ground. They quickly recovered but as soon as William got to his feet UFO's began to fire upon him and he threw up a shield to protect himself while the other UFO shots landed around him creating craters in the rock quarry of their compound.
"Be careful son!" Mulder screamed, as he shot at the Super Soldiers who were climbing the walls and numbered the tens of thousands to their meager but determined six.
They fired off, round after round, only blowing them back but never stopping them. That was all they could do.
"UGH, they won't die!" Maggie screamed, frustrated.
"Everything has a weakness," Scully yelled back. "We just have to find theirs."
But then the Super Soldiers were over the wall and Skinner was being choked and William was shooting a plasma beam at a UFO in the sky and shooting a beam of light straight through the chest of the Super Soldier that was choking Skinner and it dropped to the ground, dead and he was already tired. There were too many of them and he knew THAT was what the Aliens were counting on. He gathered his strength again and continued to fire off blasts, fighting them in the air on all sides as they targeted him. Out in the normal world, people were waiting for the end of the world while they were trying to save it.
Mulder spotted Billy Miles and he was torn but he knew he had to shoot him. He shot Billy in the head and he fell back but got back up. Frustrated, Mulder cracked opened one of the bullets. "What are you doing?" Scully asked.
"I'm trying to see if this works," Mulder said.
Mulder searched for it, Magnetite, which turned the Old Super Soldiers to Metal and caused them to crash into the stone. He searched until he found a piece and chipped if off and stuffed it into the bullet and placed it into the shotgun. He looked at Scully and she looked back at him. "Say a prayer, Scully, that this works."
She touched her cross, and then made the sign of the cross and Mulder shot the bullet into Billy Mile's head. The new Billy Miles fell back and looked dazed but was still unfazed. He stood back up and Mulder sighed, "Damn."
"Don't give up, Mulder," Scully said, as she fired off rounds.
Mulder smiled. He'd said that to her once. "You're right, Scully. Come on, they have a weakness. We just need to find it."
