Tess: (walks over to Isabel and holds the gun against her head) Zan, opps sorry. Max, you came. That's far enough. Where's Liz?

Liz: Right here. Tess or should I say Ava? I remember you now. You ruined my life with Max once before and I'll be damned if you are going to do it again. You've failed. Do you really think that Kivar will let you live once he finds out that my son was conceived? Ha that's a laugh. The mere idea that Max could ever love you is a laugh. Max and I share a love that you could never understand. We've had this connection since the third grade. So if you think that Max will just run into your arms after I am gone then you have another thing coming. You will fail Tess. I don't plan on dying young.

Tess: So confident that you are not going to die. Do you think that I am scared of you? I killed you once and I will do it again. Yeah, that's right, I killed you. How else was I going to take your face at the wedding? Max tried to divorce me after he found your body and learned the truth. He tried to heal you but you had already been dead for days. Ready to die again Liz?

(Michael and Maria walk in)

Michael: Well Tess, there are four of us and only one of you. Think you can kill us all? Because if you try and kill Liz you will have to kill us first.

Tess: Oh believe me I have no problem with that, Rath, or is it Michael now? I see that Zeta has come into her powers. How nice of the two of you to join us. Too bad Zeta, sorry, Maria won't be able to use them for very long.

Maria: Yeah too bad you wont be able to see me use my powers.

(As Tess continues to make comments, Liz closes her eyes and concentrate on Tess. As Tess continues on, still holding the gun on Isabel, she all of a sudden screams in agony)

Tess: No, please. Please. I didn't fail you. I promise I will kill them. No, (Tess starts pleading and then trips as she backs away from something, everyone does not see and starts crawling on her hands away from whatever she is seeing) Please, Please don't kill me. Please Kivar don't kill me, I promise I won't fail you again. No, (starts crying) no, no please. (Tess let out another agonizing scream and falls back on the floor lifeless. Max slowly walks over and feels for a pulse. There is none.)

Max: She's dead.

Maria: What the hell just happened?

Isabel: Hey someone come untie us please.

Michael: Sorry Issy.

Maria: What happened to her?

Liz: I told you that I was powerful, that I could mind warp people like she could except when I mind warp people, I can cause other things to happen as well. In Tess' mind she saw Kivar, and begged him not to kill her, because he was very real to her. If you are killed in a mind warp you are killed in real life. Remember, how people would say if you died in your dream you died in real life? That is what it was. Except you don't die in dreams, the only way to die in a mind warp is if someone else kills you in that mind warp.

Maria: If you ask me it all sounds a little confusing.

Isabel: Yeah I would have to agree.

Maria: So I guess you are pretty powerful. Note to self never get on Liz's bad side.

(Everyone laughs at that)

Liz: Yeah, I think Alex is starting to wake up.

Alex: Where am I? (Rubbing the back of his head) Where's Isabel?

Isabel: You are in the pod chamber, and I am right here. How's your head?

Alex: Fine, but what are we doing here? The last thing I remember was getting into the car to head to Vegas.

Isabel: Tess kidnapped us to get to Liz.

Alex: Why did she want to get to Liz?

(Michael and Maria start to explain everything to Isabel and Alex and Max and Liz sit against the wall cradled in each other's arms. As they sit there, Liz gets a vision from Lucilla)

Lucilla: You have done well. But the threat is not over. Others will come. Never underestimate our enemies. They are more powerful than you think. Trust no one who does not already know your true identities. Tell no one anymore than what they need to know. My son, you must protect your bride until death. The life she carries is essential to the survival of our planet and others. When the threat on earth is gone you will be able to return home and I will once again be able to hold you in my arms.

Liz: Lucilla, Tess, told me that she killed me. Is that true?

Lucilla: Sadly yes. You were so beautiful. Even more beautiful then you are now. And oh how you loved my son. As I told you before the two of you were inseparable. On the day of your wedding we had to practically tie Max to a chair to keep him from seeing you for even a moment. Before the wedding you were resting and putting the finishing touches on your hair and makeup and Tess came in and she strangled you. Max was so devastated when he found your body still in your wedding dress. I was so scared that I would loose him to grief, but then the rebellion broke out. Max and Michael fought for days. They killed any skin that they came in contact with. But in the end they were both killed. Because he was still so distraught over your death, and very weak from battling, Tess had no trouble in killing him. He didn't even see her coming. And Kivar killed Michael. Because Michael would not reveal where we had sent your clones, Kivar tortured him to death. You must bury the pod chamber. It must never be found. You must protect each other. Learn from each other. Never let your guard down. And always remember that I love you all.

Max: We love you too Mother. Be safe and we'll be coming home soon.

Lucilla: I know. Peace be with you my children.

(Liz and Max look up to see everyone standing around them confused)

Isabel: Are you guys okay? We've been calling your names for like the past five minutes.

Liz: Sorry, your mother was talking to us. (Looks at Maria) Did you explain everything?

Isabel: That you, Alex and Maria are hybrids like us. That you and Maria are sisters? That you are pregnant with my nephew? Yeah she did. How do you know all this Liz?

Liz: Your mother contacted me through Jason.

Alex: Jason?

Max: My son.

Liz: OUR son. Anyway she told me everything. But we can explain everything more deeply later. We have to leave Roswell. We have to be careful. Others will come.

Maria: What do you mean others will come?

Liz: This isn't over. It won't be over until all the skins and all our enemies are gone from earth. Then we can go home. But we wont be going home anytime soon.

*God this is so hard for them. Max, Issy and Michael have all had years to adjust to being aliens. Maria has had only two days and Alex has had 15 minutes. What's going to happen now? *

(As if hearing Liz's thoughts Maria pipes up)

Maria: Max, what's going to happen now?

Max: I don't know.

Liz: We just have to be ready. We have to be careful who we befriend and who we trust. No matter what the cost we cannot use our powers in public. We just have to trust each other and each other's judgment. We have to learn from each other.

Michael: Where do we go from here?

Max: Vegas. And then we will see from there.

Liz: Vegas. We still have to get married. But we have to be careful. This isn't over.

(As we pan out of the cave, we see Liz wrapped tightly in Max's arms, Isabel holding Alex's hand and Michael pulling Maria close. As the six hold each other a shadow moves out of the door of the cave and out into the desert.)

Stranger: That's right Ophelia, this isn't over.

(As the stranger starts to walk away from the cave we pan upward towards the stars and see the V shining brightly in the sky.)
