Summary: If you haven't read What the Future Holds, you'll be totally lost. This takes place about a year after What the Future Holds ends. When 2020 Roswell is taken captive by an unexpected enemy, the offspring of the pod squad must now ask for help..... from the past.
Category: Max/Liz
Author's Note: Okay, since there are now TWO sets of the podsters (the teens and then their future selves). So to make it easier, if it's one of the FUTURE people talking, they'll have an (F) in front of their name. If it's the teens from the past, it'll just be their name. Got it? :)

The Evans' Household - Roswell, New Mexico
(F)Liz sighed and sat down in the desk chair inside the office room. Ever since they had gotten back the house had been bustling with people wanting to know what was happening, what was going to happen, and where the strange aliens were.
The annoying thing was they didn't ihave/i any answers. They had brought their past selves here in order to be able to defeat these evil aliens.... and now they couldn't even find where the strange people were holding the hostages.
(F)Liz turned the power switch on the computer and tapped her nails on the desk as the computer booted up. The least she could do was try and access the Destiny Lab main-frame computer. That might help her reach people that were still inside the lab, and she would be able to warn them about the strange people in town. She didn't quite know what she was going to tell her co-workers if they asked who had taken the town hostage, but she had a feeling telling them that aliens from the planet MI-63 had.... would only cause hysteria.
Suddenly the screen flashed a brilliant light blue color and her desktop appeared. She went through the routine of double-clicks and finally the Destiny Lab Identification window popped up. She carefully typed in her username and password, then hit the connect button. She was the only one that had access to get into the Destiny main-frame from home, so she was comforted by the fact that no one would be able to retrieve any of her files without her knowing it. She wondered idly if she should copy her private files from the main-frame onto her computer, while she was connected to it.
Figuring it was a good idea, as soon as the Destiny Lab welcome screen showed up, she immediately went to her directory. As the familiar file directory loaded, some very unfamiliar files showed up.
"What?" (F)Liz whispered softly as she scrolled down the list of very odd looking files. Her files seemed to be altered. Instead of her regular file names, they were a series of odd symbols like òóõøìíÇÉÍÅÃÀ£.
"Max?" (F)Liz yelled out as she stared at the screen. She heard the door open and felt (F)Max stand behind her.
"What is --" (F)Max stopped mid-sentence when he saw the computer screen.

Unknown Facility - Roswell, New Mexico
Magnolia Guerin struggled relentlessly against the rope that was around her wrists. For the millionth time that day she wondered how the hell she got into this mess.
She was sleeping, so it must have been about 4 in the morning when they kidnapped her. They were strong. iWay/i stronger than her. And they were rude. Putting a gag over her and tying her wrists and ankles up so tight it almost cut her circulation. Luckily when they took her to the building she was in, they had at least taken the gag off of her. That was the instant in which she had told off the evil aliens and spat in the face of one of them. For some reason it didn't really bother the alien, because he just led her to this room and sat her down. Apparently he didn't know much about Earth customs.
Mags was suprised to find herself sitting next to Stan and Adri. As soon as she saw Adri though, she knew this situation was bad. Very bad. Adri had filled her in on what was going on so Mags figured she'd just sit back, relax, and wait for her dad to come beat the shit out of these MI-63 dudes.
She saw Adri looking at her, and Mags gave her a questioning look. "What is it?"
Adri sighed and leaned her head back against the wall. "I haven't told you everything."
This got Mags iand/i Stan's immediate attention. They both looked at her and said in unison, "Huh?"
Adri looked around the room, then back to them. "The reason they're here is.... they want the Granolith."
Stan sighed and leaned back against the wall, and Mags just rolled her eyes. "Who in this universe idoesn't/i want that thing?!"
"How do they even iknow/i about the Granolith." Stan asked.
Adri shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure. Perhaps they remember when the Royal Family of Antar used it, or they've heard about it from someone that lived on Antar from its monarchy days. There's no way to tell."
"The real question is," Mags stated. "How do they know the Granolith is ihere/i."
Adri nodded her head. "That's what I was thinking. A few weeks ago I was informed by one of my advisors that there was a leak in our system. Someone had been giving information to the leader of MI-63. I'm thinking our leak must have been giving them information about the Granolith, and the where-abouts of the hybrids."
"Did you find out who the leak was?" Stan asked her.
Adri shook her head. "We were supposed to have a meeting today with one of our top spies. He had discovered who the leak was. Unfortunately the leak must have been so deep that they notified MI-63 of our progress and they decided to move ahead with their plans."
"Their plans being kidnap you, bring you here, and force you to tell them where the Granolith is?" Stan finished for her and Adri nodded.
"Bastards." Mags declared and crossed her arms.
"What exactly would they do with the Granolith once they got it?" Stan asked. "Why is it so important?"
Adri sighed. "The Granolith restores power once it is lost. It would make MI-63 very powerful and unstoppable in a war. Plus, if they should ever find out that time travel were possible with the Granolith.... it could have disasterous results."
"Oh..." Stan's voice trailed off.
"I never knew the Granolith was so important." Mags said.
"Neither did I." Adri replied, then cleared her throat. "Which is why we must destroy it."
"De-- iDestroy/i it?!" Mags asked incredulously. "What do you mean destroy it?"
"We have to destroy the Granolith. It's the only way that we can stop anyone from coming here to Earth again. The Granolith was created to give strength," Adri said and closed her eyes briefly, then reopened them, "And the only thing it has caused is pain."

"What is this?" (F)Max asked his wife. He knew what it was isupposed/i to be, he just didn't know what the heck these weird symbols were doing there though.
"I don't know what happened." (F)Liz told him. "I got online and linked up to the Destiny Lab main-frame computer, and when I tried to access my private folder all these weird symbols showed up. What do you think it means?"
(F)Max was silent for a moment, contemplating this situation. It could mean either two things. One: The computer was messing up and this was all a mistake. Or Two: Somehow the evil aliens were involved. "Try the other folders. Check and see if yours is the only one like this."
(F)Liz nodded her head and did so, finding all the other folders were like hers. All files where in weird symbols she didn't recognize.
(F)Max took a deep breath and let it out, folding his arms across his chest. "We didn't check the lab, did we?"
(F)Liz stood up and faced him, shaking her head. "No, it was the only place we didn't look."
(F)Michael walked into the room, followed by (F)Isabel.
"What's going on?" (F)Isabel asked them, looking from (F)Liz to (F)Max. "Did you find out something?"
(F)Max exchanged glances with his wife, then looked to his sister and his best friend. "They're in the Destiny Lab."
