The nine aliens stood looking at the outside of the compound. All of them
looked towards Michael, Max was close to unconscious. Michael nodded, 'You
all understand what we have to do?'
They all murmured assent. Suddenly Max pulled himself to his feet. 'Thanks Michael, but I'm gonna take charge.' his eyes were clouded with surpressed pain. Michael didn't even try to argue.
'If you need anything I'll be at your back.'
Max smiled. 'Let's go.'

Max, Michael, Will, Adam and Alex all stood facing the girls in black suits. At any other time Maria would have laughed her head off. 'Be careful,' she pleaded to Michael. 'And you too.' she said turning to Adam with a slight smile.
He smiled back and walked over and hugged her. 'I will, ' He whispered in her ear.

The girls stood and watched as the boys entered the compound. 'Are you ready?' asked Sandy.
They all nodded. 'Maria, are you sure you're OK with trying this?' asked Isabel.
'Yeah! It's my best friend in there, I'm not gonna let anything happen to her.'
'Ok.'
They all joined hands and closed their eyes. Maria took one last looked at her surroundings before she cleared her mind and focused her powers.

'Michael, you go down there, Alex and Adam go down that corridor. They won't know we're here, the girls will keep us invisible, the suits are just in case... As soon as you find her call and the rest of us will come.'
'What about you Max?' asked Michael looking at his best friend.
'I'm going down here. Lets go!' he said silencing any protests.
Max ran down the corridor, the immense pain was pushed to the back of his mind. His head was full of concerns for Liz' safety. He could feel her close by, that was why he had chosen this corridor.
'We're coming Liz! he thought desperately.
They all murmured assent. Suddenly Max pulled himself to his feet. 'Thanks Michael, but I'm gonna take charge.' his eyes were clouded with surpressed pain. Michael didn't even try to argue.
'If you need anything I'll be at your back.'
