20 miles outside Roswell, New Mexico
The group gathered in the pod chamber, regrouping from the shocking story they had just heard. Max hugged Liz close to him and he felt her arms encircle his waist. It was unbelievable.
"Look," Katie started. "I know this is a big shock, and you all didn't expect me to come here again. But.... we need your help. Badly." She paused and looked at Max pleadingly. "We can't get through this without your help."
Everyone was silent, until Michael spoke up. "What about the other three?"
"What other three?" Katie replied.
"The other three in the pods." Isabel answered for him, then walked over to stand in front of Katie. "Why can't they make up the other unit?"
Katie sighed and looked to the ground. "Despite all our efforts..... we haven't been able to find them. We don't even know from our past lives who the other people were. Only Nasedo knew."
"How could Nasedo know.... but we don't?" Max asked.
"Nasedo was your protector on Antar, as you know. Well he was also in charge of the secret mission of your cloning. He only told you of the pods iyou/i were going to be in. The only person he told the other set about was his assistant." Katie explained to them.
"Who was his assistant?" Liz asked curiously.
Katie shrugged her shoulders. "We don't know. Adri was the one that supplied us with all this information and she couldn't recall the assistant's name."
"This assistant could lead us to the other three aliens." Michael whispered.
Katie nodded her head. "Yes, it could. But even with the sophisticated technology of 2020 we haven't been able to track that person down. Whoever it is, doesn't want to be found."
"How do you know they're on Earth?" Maria spoke up. "Couldn't they have gone back to Antar?"
Katie shook her head. "The last time we spoke to Adri she told us there was no record of anyone using the Granolith before us, and that's the only way they would have to get home."
A few moments of silence passed by. Katie looked at her watch, then cleared her throat. "So what do you guys say?" She paused and smirked. "Feel like saving the world?"

The Evans Household - Roswell, New Mexico
Max reached over to grab his wife's hand. She had been gone an hour, but it had seemed like an eternity.
"Everything's going to work out." Liz assured him. "She's going to be fine."
Max nodded and squeezed her hand. He knew she was right. They had a connection, all three of them, and he would know the second there was any danger for her. He would be able to sense it. Logically, he had no reason in the world to worry. But somehow Max couldn't think logically when his daughter, his young 17 year old daughter, was traveling through time in order to bring back his past self to beat evil aliens. Max forced his heart rate to slow down and he glanced over at his sister.
Isabel immediately looked into his eyes and smiled. "I can't believe this Max. I'm going to get to see myself at eighteen!"
Here they were, all in their middle thirties, getting ready to meet themselves as teens. They had listened to Katie explain about how she'd learned so much from them, but the thought of seeing ithemselves/i was just...... weird. Of course, when they were teens they thought it was weird that their future daughter came to them, but this time it wasn't a person from the future. It was from the ipast/i. Time travel is a tricky thing.
"Yeah well.... I just can't wait to see Maria in one of her cute little numbers again." Michael said slyly and Maria turned to him and swatted his arm.
"I did not wear 'little numbers'!" She huffed.
"I don't even want to ithink/i about how I'm going to be dressed." Alex said, covering his hands over his face in embarrassment, making everyone at the table laugh.
"I don't think iany/i of us want to remember that, Alex." Liz joked.
The kitchen fell silent again and a loud boom was heard in the distance. It was Liz's turn to squeeze Max's hand now. She turned to look him straight in the eyes. "I hope they're not--"
"The lab is going to be fine." Max reassured her. "They're not going to touch it."
Liz swallowed. "I hope so. I hate to think of all our work being destroyed."
"It won't be." Maria said and cast her best friend a determined look. She then exchanged glances with everyone at the table. "We've been through so much together over the years. We can do anything."
Liz smiled and sniffed her nose, holding back tears. They ihad/i been through alot together. They shared a bond now, that grew with each passing second. They were unstoppable.
The room once again falls silent, and this time the silence is broken by a clamoring outside of the house.
"Geez Maxwell could you have a imore/i lame house?" Michael's voice was heard, making the future Michael jump up.
"Is that--" He looks to the others for confirmation and they all looked shocked. Their past selves..... were here.
"It worked!" Isabel exclaimed as she stood up. "They're here!"
Max grabbed Liz's and led the others into the living room. They watched as Katie walked through the front door and faced her parents and relatives.
"I'm baaaaaack." Katie smiled, and everyone looked at the door. She smiled again. "C'mon in guys. Don't be shy."
The couples held hands tightly as the screen door creaked open. Young Alex and Isabel were the first to walk into the house, their hands gripped together tightly. Their eyes locked with the future counterparts and for a moment, they almost couldn't believe this was really happening. They were followed abruptly by a loud Michael and Maria.
"You know, you could be more sensitive Michael. I'm sure you're future self is just idying/i to see you too." Maria huffed as she walked into the living room. "And another thing, how could you--" She stopped talking as soon as she saw herself, standing directly in front of her. She felt Michael standing beside her and had the situation not been so.... intense, she would have laughed at his speechlessness.
Finally, the door creaked open once more and Max and Liz stepped through, immediately looking around the room. When their eyes fell upon their future selves, it was like this was all a daydream. It was unbelievable. Liz walked, with Max's hand in hers, towards her future self, who was looking back at her with a small smile on her face. It was like looking into a mirror that had the capability of making yourself look aged or something.
Max's eyes locked with his own. He looked almost exactly the same except..... older.
"Oh my god......" Both Liz's whispered at the same time, causing both of them to smile.
The room was silent a few moments, until future Michael cleared his throat and rolled his eyes. "Alright enough of this shi--" He felt his wife nudge his ribs with her elbow. "Show of emotion. Let's get down to business."
"Finally, someone's talkin some sense." Michael agreed, making Maria elbow him in the ribs.
Katie smiled as her parents told everyone the latest news. They were on their way to solving this problem. They had a plan, a good plan, and it was going to work. Katie's nickname was "Katie Gotta-Have-A-Plan Evans". When she had told her mom that, Liz had just started laughing..... and didn't stop. Katie never knew why her mom thought that was so funny though.
As she was standing in the hallway, listening to everyone going over the details, she faintly heard her phone ring in her bedroom. Katie raised her eyebrows. Who on Earth would be calling her at a time like this?
"It better not be a stupid telemarketer." She muttered as she walked into her room, not bothering to close her door.
As soon as she picked up her silver cordless phone, a raspy voice said. "Katie, it's me."
"Gabriel?!" She squeaked. Her heart started to pound. He sounded out of breath.
"Yeah, it's me." He replied.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Look, I was supposed to go to Carlsbad this morning to meet my dad, but the car broke down. I had to walk 5 miles to get to a pay phone. You think you could pick me up?"
Katie blinked. "Ummm.... sure Gabe."
They were silent a few moments, until Gabriel asked. "Kate? You okay? You sounded really worried when you answered the phone."
"You have no idea what's going on.... do you?" Katie asked and when he replied with a "no...." she let out a deep breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "Look, tell me where you are and I'll pick you up. Then, I'll fill you in on what's going on in town."
Gabriel told her the highway he was on, which Katie figured, was about 30 minutes outside Roswell, practically in the middle of nowhere.
"What's going on Katie?" Gabriel asked. He knew something was happening, he could hear it in the tone of her voice. "Did something bad happen?"
Katie sighed. "I'll be there as soon as I can. I love you."
Gabriel paused, knowing that if she didn't tell him over the phone, it had to be bad. Real bad. "Love you too. Be careful."
"I will." She promised. "Bye." She held the phone over her heart and let out a relieved sigh. He was okay.
"Honey?" She heard her mom say behind her and Katie spun around to see her parents standing in the doorway. "Who was that?"
Katie tossed her phone onto her bed and grabbed her backpack off the back of her chair. "It was Gabriel. He's okay, he's fine. His car broke down this morning outside Roswell and he needs me to go get him."
"He must have gotten out of the city before it was taken over." Max mused, relieved that Gabriel was seemingly alright. He was aware of the closeness between his daughter and the Valenti kid, and it reminded him of his relationship with Liz when they were that age.
"Be careful sweetie." Max told her and gave her a quick hug.
"I will dad." Katie promised. "Besides, I won't even be going near Roswell."
"Which highway is he on?" Liz asked curiously.
"285 South, just outiside Greenfield." Katie told them. "I'll be back in about an hour."
