Roswell, New Mexico
Katie and the others stood across the street from the Destiny Lab, looking around and making sure no one saw them.
The wind was blowing softly and there was an eerie calm over the city. Gabriel caught another quick glance at Katie. She seemed a little off.. tense. Everything she said was short and to the point. He was beginning to wonder if the story Denise, Ilana, and Dakota had told them bothered her.
Of course it bothered her Gabe, his mind screamed at him. It was practically the story about her father and mother. Something about that story had struck a deep nerve in Katie.
Gabriel jerked when he heard the sound of cars coming towards them. There was a van and a car which he quickly identified as (F)Max and (F)Liz's.
"They're here." Gabe said and the others jerked their heads towards the cars that were now directly in front of them.
"Katie!" (F)Liz exclaimed as she jumped out of the car and ran to her daughter. (F)Max followed behind her, casting Gabriel a "Thank you for taking care of my daughter when I wasn't there" look.
Gabriel smiled back knowingly as the trio was reunited.
Katie let go of her parents and motioned towards the three missing podsters behind her. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Dakota, Ilana, and Denise... they were in the missing 3 pods." She paused, "They're the one's we've been looking for for years."
When (F)Max looked at Dakota in the eyes... it felt like something was tearing away in his mind. Like his memory had been covered up so he couldn't remember something... but the covering was starting to shred.
"Dakotar...." Max whispered. (F)Max looked behind him to his past self. He was remembering, too.
Both pairs of Isabel and Michael started remembering also, and wore expressions of wonder on their faces. After all these years.... they were remembering.
Katie quickly interrupted this, though. Before the discussion about her parents past lives, they needed to take care of the MI-63 rebels... and Ava. "Sorry to break this up, but we've gotta take care of the issue at hand first." She turned to her Aunt Isabel. "I need you to dreamwalk Stan and tell him that help is here, and ask him how many people are in there with him."
(F)Isabel nodded her head and Isabel watched in amazement as her future self dreamwalked a person that was awake, with complete ease.

*Stan.* His mother's voice echoed in his head.
*Mom?!* Stan called out in his mind. His eyes were wide and Magnolia gave him a weird look.
"You ok, bud?" Mags asked.
Stan nodded his head and whispered. "My mom is dreamwalking me."
Mags smiled brilliantly. "Finally! Help is here! What's their plan?"
Stan put a finger over his mouth to silence her. After a few moments, Stan's jaw dropped open.
"The others are here!"
Mags and Adri give him an odd look. Mags slants her head. "Others? What others?"
"Max, Liz, Isabel, Michael... all of 'em!" Stan whispered excitedly.
Mags rolled her eyes. "Well, iduh/i Stan. It's common isense/i that they'd rescue us. I mean, who else would??"
Stan sighed, exasperated. "Not our parents, I mean from the ipast/i!"
"What?!" Mags shouted loudly, then when the guards looked at her, she whispered, "What??!"
"Katie used the Granolith to go get them so that they could help our parents free us. Oh wait a minute--" Stan paused while his mom filled him on the other 3 missing podster's arrival.
"Hey Adri, you know those other three people that where in the pods with Liz.... ya know, the ones that've been missing for years?" Stan whispered to her.
Adri nodded her head. "Of course."
"Well they're not missing anymore. They're here." Stan told her and Adri's eyes widened.
"Whoa!" Mags whispered.
Suddenly, Adri's eyes darkened. "But Stan.... we have to destroy the Granolith. Either that, or we have to move it. If we do that...... how are the past versions going to get home?"
Mags and Stan exchanged glances, then shrugged her shoulders.
Adri sat back against the wall with a sigh. "I guess we'll just have to make sure they get back before we take care of the Granolith." She glanced at the object in the center of the room. "And we definitely need to take care of that thing.
As Stan communicated with his mother to fill her in on the situation inside, Adri took this time to look over the imitation Granolith sitting in front of her.
She remembered Kivar talking about duplicating that fateful day last year when she went back in time to save her mother. But the future Kivar and the past Kivar died that day, and since the past Kivar died, he obviously couldn't duplicate the Granolith in the future. Adri couldn't quite place who, but she knew someone else knew how to duplicate it.
The Granolith now held all the citizens of Roswell and people from the surrounding area. They all looked trapped inside the core. Their eyes were closed and they all just seemed to sort of float around.
She had no idea who long she was sitting there, but the next thing she knew, she heard a loud pounding sound...... then running footsteps.

Destiny Lab
Roswell, New Mexico
Katie and the others charged into the building, bursting through the doors of the main conference room and coming face to face with strange looking aliens.
"Get them!" The guards yelled, and before the aliens had a second to react, each one was gagged by a guard and their wrists were tied. The guards held their hands behind their backs so they couldn't move.
Katie struggled against the guard, but it was no use. He was two times the size of her, and she was already weak and tired.
The door opened again, and Max and (F)Max's worst nightmare strolled in.
Tess. She was older to Max, because this was the future Tess. She was extremely thin, and sick looking. (F)Max mused that this must've been the effect of all those years in Antarian prison.
She strolled past everyone, coming to a halt in front of (F)Max. She smiled sweetly at him. In a low, sultry voice, she whispered, "Long time, huh?"
"Not long enough." (F)Max said flatly, staring straight ahead. Not even aknowledging her.
Tess scowled. "Still not satisfied with me, Max? After all these years I thought you'd get tired of Miss Perfect Parker--"
"Evans." (F)Max corrected her, making Tess clench her fists.
"Oh iforgive/i me. It's Miss Perfect iEvans/i now." Tess seethed.
"It has been for a long time now, Tess." (F)Max told her, then asked angrily. "So when did they let you out of the pound? I thought you were serving 3 million life sentences."
Tess smirked. "A friend let me out early. Besides," She trailed a hand down (F)Max's chest. "I came back for what I wanted.... my mate. My iKing/i."
Max, who was standing behind everyone, rolled his eyes. Tess hadn't changed over the years at iall/i. He couldn't believe she still thought she had a chance with him. He saw Liz glance at him, the same expression on her face. Tess was quite possibly the stupidest person alive.
Tess sauntered over to Max now, her eyes wide and seductive. "My, my, my.... we rolled out the red carpet for this occasion, didn't we? I must say, I've forgotten how.... well endowed you were as a teenager."
"Not that you'd know." Liz commented under her breath, causing Tess's head to jerk her way.
"I heard that, ibitch/i."
"Don't you iever/i call her that again." Both Max and (F)Max said in unison, their voices full of anger.
Tess ignored them and sashayed over to stand in front of (F)Liz now and snickered. "You picked a real winner, Max. A real braniac loser."
(F)Liz narrowed her eyes at the person she despised most in the universe and Tess backed away in mock defense.
"Oh no! Precious Lizzy is mad at me! What ever should I do?" Tess said sarcastically, then frowned. "You wouldn't stand a ichance/i against me."
Tess walked over to finally stand in front of Katie, whose eyes were dark. Tess lifted a hand to Katie's face and studied it.
"Now I must say," Tess said matter-of-factly, "That you ido/i have a ivery/i beautiful daughter."
Katie tried to speak, but the gag choked her.
Tess ran a hand across the girl's cheek. "Such a pretty complection. Too bad I'm going to kill you."
"If you even touch her one more time, I swear to iGod/i you will regret it." Gabriel threatened.
Tess looked over his way, then back to Katie. "Must be the boyfriend." Katie's eyes didn't move from her face. They stayed focused on Tess.
Tess back away a little, heading towards (F)Max again. "Some family you got here Max. But I'm afraid it's time for you to finally fulfill your destiny."
"I already have." (F)Max said and Tess laughed.
"This?" She waved her arm, motioning to the people in the room. "You think ithis/i was your destiny Max?? How little do you think of yourself??"
When he didn't answer, Tess walked up to him and put her arms around his neck, bring her body close to his. (F)Max's body jerked in rejection at the closeness of Tess's body.
"I have a proposition for you. You come with me now and rule over Antar with me. Be my King... and I'll be your Queen." She moved her face close to his, rubbing her cheek against his. "It would be iso/i great Max. And if you come right now, with me.... I'll let everyone here live."
She pulled back, waiting for his answer. (F)Max looked her in the eyes, and then spat right in her face. "There's my answer, Tess."
Tess started trembling in fury and pushed him away from her. She wiped at her face, then put her hands on the sides of her head. "This is the ilast/i time you will defy me, Max Evans! You are history!" Tess screamed at him in such rage, that it echoed off the walls.
(F)Max closed his eyes and got himself ready for the mindwarp he knew she was going to do, but instead one didn't come. He opened his eyes and saw Tess standing there.... motionless. Her arms were hung limp at her sides, and she fell to the ground.
Perplexed, (F)Max and the others looked ahead and saw a sight they thought they'd never see.
Ava put her hand back down to her side. "Dumb blonde."
