Max looked around the large room, looking for any means to escape.
Unfortunately Rath and Loni did their homework, and they were currently
tied to chairs, with Rath standing behind Maria with a knife to her throat.
"I never understood humans." Rath mused as he trailed his finger along her cheek. "But maybe I could now."
"If you touch her." Michael began fighting against his restraints. Rath just laughed at his counterpart.
"Why would I want a puny human, when I have the real thing." He smiled with what could only be described as pure lust as he looked across the room at Loni.
"Stop it Rath." Loni called from across the room, rolling her eyes at his stupidity. She was surrounded by morons, her brother, little Ava, Rath, and one can't forget the human loving group from Roswell. She nearly retched as she thought about the goody two shoes. God how she hated this pathetic planet.
Smiling evilly she turned and walked towards them. There was nothing in this stupid town about the crash, but they already knew that. Perhaps little Maxie would know what had happened here. Ah yes, this would be fun.
Max watched as Loni began to stalk towards them, smiling like the cheshire cat. Something wasn't right; something wasn't good about this. She was too happy.
"Keep an eye on the others Rath, I have plans for our 'dear king'." She said mockingly.
"Aight." Rath smiled as she untied Max and dragged him to another section. This was going to be fun to listen to.
"So Michael, what's it like with a human anyway?" he drawled out, running his fingers along Maria's cheek and neck. At least he could have some fun while they were there. He smiled as Michael tried to get out of his chair again. Even the other human looked ready to kill, as did Isabel. Hmmm.
Smiling he walked over to the other girl who was glaring at him. "Of course we have our dear Isabel as well. Michael couldn't handle you I suppose."
Isabel suppressed a shudder as Rath talked. At least he was leaving Maria alone. Maria gave the appearance that she was unaffected by Rath's actions, but Iz knew that the girl was really trembling inside.
She turned her attention back to Rath to find him leering at her and looking at her suggestively. She spit at him, and had a small thrill of satisfaction as he backed away cursing. Served the bastard right, he needed to learn some manners. She glanced at the others and saw Maria and Kyle were grinning broadly at her, and Michael was shaking his head trying not to laugh.
Rath shook in anger as he wiped her spit off his face. "Why you little b..." he began as he raised his hand to hit her.
"I wouldn't Rath."
Rath turned at the sound of the voice, then smiled ferally. "Well look who came back. How ya been Ava?"
"Better than you Rath." She replied walking into the room. "Why not let em go, they ain't a part of this."
"You ain't either. How long did it take you to betray us?" he asked as he walked towards the smaller girl.
"Who betrayed who Rath, you betrayed out king." She replied.
"Zan was an idiot. A fool. He didn't deserve to be number one."
"That wasn't ya decision." She replied with a smile, "You ain't the man, he is."
"Last I checked he was dead, so he ain't the man anymore."
"No, Zan ain't the man. But Max is, and he's got the Queen to prove it."
"Where you been Ava, Tess was on our side, she went to Kivar."
"I wasn't talkin' bout the tramp."
"What, you?"
"No, I ain't the Queen, I never was. He got his true Queen, and believe me, you can't fight her Rath." She replied with a smile.
"Ya fell on ya head the wrong way when ya came out of the pod. There ain't another Queen."
"Really? Then why does she have Loni?" Ava asked with a smile, clearly enjoying this. Michael and the others exchanged a look of confusion when they heard her last statement.
"Ha, ya losing it Ava. No one's got Loni."
"I hate to disagree with you, but someone does."
Everyone turned towards the new voice and stared in shock at Loni who was standing there with another girl, who had her hand by Loni's head. Max was leaning heavily on the girl, as if he could barely stand.
"I know you." Rath began, "Your Max's girl."
"Long time no see Rath." Liz replied with a smile. "Ava, untie everyone please. Rath, get your butt over there, and don't try anything. I've got no qualms killing either of you. I've got a bit of pent up rage that would love to be released, especially on anyone who works with Kivar." She explained with a smile. "The bloody bastard." She mumbled to herself
Rath looked at her for a moment, debating if he should believe her. Then smiled. "You're a human, what can you do to us."
Liz smiled and raised her other hand, sending a blast against the far wall. "Do you still want to argue?"
Rath shook his head and quickly walked over to where she directed.
She rolled her eyes once at the idiocy of Antarians. "Michael, can you get Max for me? He's a bit weak, this lovely hussy was in the process of trying to pull a Nikolas on him."
Michael raised an eyebrow at the anger in Liz's voice, but quickly took Max from her shoulder. Carefully he led their 'leader' and sat him down in a chair.
Loni smiled at Rath as Liz watched Michael. As one they turned and sent a blast at Liz. Maria cried out in alarm as Liz was thrown across the room.
"Why you." Ava began before she joined Liz against the far wall.
"I feel better, don't you?" Rath asked as he joined Loni.
"Don't even try it Michael, you can't get both of us at once, and we'll get your human before you can get the other." Loni continued with a smile.
"He can't, but I can."
Loni and Rath went flying across the room, and looked over at the girl who was rising to her feet in shock.
"How the hell?" Rath asked as he stood up, arm raised.
"Do you really want to keep this up?" Liz asked shaking her head slightly. "Believe me Rath, I can outlast you."
"Ya right." Loni replied as she raised her hand as well.
Liz rolled her eyes and raised her right hand, then turned her wrist.
Loni started to laugh over her absurd motion, when she and Rath rose in the air and turned upside down.
Liz leaned down and woke up Ava, then turned and began to walk to the two floating New Yorker aliens. She stopped underneath them and looked up at them with a smile. "I am really debating what I should do with you." She began with a smile.
"Right now I'd like nothing more than to kick some Antarian butt, especially any that works with Kivar." she trailed off her eyes taking a far off look and what almost looked like an evil smile touching her lips.
Loni and Rath stared at her in growing horror, this little human wasn't so innocent, in fact she looked as if she would gladly rip them apart with her bare hands.
"But," she began, coming out of her daydream; "I promised Ava that she could have you." She replied with a smile, so sugary sweet it gave Loni cavities just looking at it.
Liz turned and walked towards Ava who was slowly starting to grin, an evil grin as well.
"What did those two do, take evil lessons together?" Loni whispered to Rath, who didn't respond, just looked at them in fear.
"Have fun Ava, contact me when your done, and I'll let you know where I'm at."
"Kay girlie, see ya in a few days." Ava replied staring up at her two childhood companions, already starting the mindwarp.
Liz smiled as Loni began to whimper in fear and Rath stared in shock at the empty doorway.
"Zan?" he whispered in fear. "How are you here, your dead." He continued, then his face lost any color that was left.
Liz placed a hand on Ava's shoulder and saw what the smaller girl was showing them, and nearly laughed outloud. Who would have thought they'd be so scared of a man they killed. She turned and walked over to the others who were watching Ava warily.
"It's ok, she won't kill them." She said drawing their attention.
"Why do you sound like you are loving every moment of whatever it is she is doing?" Kyle asked raising an eyebrow.
"Probably because I am." She replied with a shrug. "She's just letting Zan deal with them."
"But I thought Zan was dead." Maria began slightly confused.
"He is, but right now they don't know that."
Isabel smiled as she realized what the other girl was doing. "Serves them right." She replied, earning a smile from Liz.
"That it does. So why don't we get out of here and I'll explain what's been going on as I'm sure you are all wondering."
"Ummm, Liz. One question?" Michael asked as he and Kyle each took one of Max's arms to help him out.
"Yeah?" she asked as she opened the door.
"How did you do all that?"
Liz smiled, leave it to Michael to bring up her powers. "I've had some help with them since I left." She replied, leaving it at that. "Come on, I don't know about you, but I can use some food, I haven't eaten since I found Ava two days ago. My treat."
"Sounds good to me." Kyle said perking up at the words 'my treat'.
The girls smiled as the boys began to drool at the thought of food.
"All right, how does seafood sound?" Liz asked with a smile, the paused as they heard a distinctive female scream. Liz smirked as they continued on. Ava was certainly having fun, but Loni wasn't.
~*~*~*~*~
Liz smiled as she sensed Ava's presence in her mind. She turned around and looked across the room to see Ava standing in the doorway.
"Come on in girl, been wondering how long you'd keep that up."
Ava walked in looking around the room. "Girlie, I can't believe ya have a room done in Antarian design. What woulda peeps say?"
"In all honesty, I don't care love. When they've gone through what I went through, then they can say something about it. Till then, I don't give a damn."
"That's my girl. So how much ya gonna tell them?" Ava continued as she sat down on the pale blue couch.
"I'm going to tell them just what they need to know."
"So you ain't gonna tell em about."
"No. I love my husband, and my friends. But right now they don't need to know that."
"They gonna freak when they learn eveything."
"I don't care Ava. When they learn everything, it will be too late. Besides, if they knew everything, they wouldn't let me do what I have to."
Ava shook her head, "Times I have ta say, you the best one for this. Me and Tess, we ain't the Queens, nevah suppose ta be. But you, you're the Queen, you can do what we couldn't. No matter what, you got me with ya, to the end."
"Thanks Ava, that means a lot. In the end it might just be the two of us." She replied slowly as her eyes took a far away look.
Ava remained quiet for a few minutes while Liz was in the vision, wondering what it was she saw this time.
"Kivar's pissed." Liz said as she came back to the room.
"Woulda thought that be obvious." Ava replied with a smile.
"Yeah, he just found out we escaped. He's throwing Nikolas around pretty good."
"Serves the 'general' right. He ain't nothing but a wimp. So where ya at? We can continue this con in person dontcha think?"
Liz smiled, "We're at a hotel outside of town, you'll know it. Room 6A."
"Kay, see ya soon girlie."
"See you soon Av." Liz replied before Ava walked out of the room. Standing up she knew it was time to talk to the others. They'd be awake by now, she couldn't sense their dream bubbles anymore.
It was going to be an interesting day.
"I never understood humans." Rath mused as he trailed his finger along her cheek. "But maybe I could now."
"If you touch her." Michael began fighting against his restraints. Rath just laughed at his counterpart.
