Chapter 19
Finding Home
A/N: IT IS COMPLETE!!! Over.... I hope that you liked it. *Sigh* I'll miss working on this story. Love ya'll~ MB
~Max Pov~
Michael and I have been working on a way out of for what seems to be forever. I know that it has only been a few minutes but I can hear what is going just outside this cell. I hear the battle. I have to help them. How could I have just turned them over, now even Liz won't forgive me. O God... we have to get out of here. We have to find a way out. I have to help them. I am their leader... this was my plan and now as it comes to the climax, I am lost. Stuck in a cell, just waiting for the outcome. I look over at Michael, his face is weary. He feels the same as I do. This is our war, our battle, our fight and our end... not theirs. I can hear the sound of carnage out there.
"AUGH!!!"- I bellow....
Michael looks over at me
"Save the anger for when we fight!"- He orders me.
I just look aside... what fight? Were stuck, we can't help them. We can't save them.
~Maria POV~
With all of the weapons I have... I can't hold them back much longer. There is just to many. I look around me and I can't see anyone. Only the enemy. Am I the only one left fighting? I don't know. How can I know. All I know is shoot. Kill these bastards and if I go down, I am taking as many as I can. Before this fight began, I was exhausted, but now I am full of adrenline. Full of energy....hatred...fear. The only thing keeping me sane is Liz. What Liz said. We win... we live. So we can't die. We did everything that Liz told us to. Right? My amunition is running scarley low. What happens when its out?
~Isabel Pov~
How long have we been fighting? Minutes? Hours? How could I know... all my energy is on the enemy.... there is too many. How can we beat this? I am weakening I can feel this, all over I am pull everystrength I have to blasting. If we had to run for a retreat... I would have no energy to do so. I don't think anyone would... that's why no retreat has been called. I look over and I can see Liz in the corner of my eyes. I can't see all of her, there are to many in the way. But she looks so old. So tired. I look at her eyes and know that she lied earlier. This is the end of all of us. But so be it... as long as these bastards die too.. I have no more to live for. And I have lived more them most would hope so. If this is my last day, then it shall be an ever victorious one.
~Kyle POV~
My whole body is shaking, I am convulsing all over. Yet I still use what is left of my powers to kill. I have no more energy in my body, no more energy in my powers, no more energy in my spirit... yet I still go on. How? I don't know.... It's agonizing though. My body shakes from the unseen premontion. But looking around me... who needs a premintion when your expeirencing it. I feel as if my body is shirvling up.... but I will not back down. They'll have to take me down.
~Rene POV~
Fight! That is what I have been trained to do. And that is what I do. But this fight is impossible.. why does Liz not call for a retreat? Why does she push on. We all are past the point of exhaustion. Adrenline alone... keeps us moblized, but bearly. I was trained from the begging for this... but no training can prepare you for this. For every one I kill, six replace it. The battle wages.... in a sereal way. How can it be like this? After all the planning. I look over and see how close yet far I am from Michael's cell. If only I could open it... and then we'd have fresh blood. Fresh power.... that's what we need. But how can I focus my power on them and not the battle? One must sacrifice for the good of all. Is it ment to be me?
~Jake Pov~
Kill.... Kill... KILL!!! That's all I can think. kill, kilL, kiLL,kILL,KILL!!!!! and WIN!!!! Two goals that I must achieve.
~Matt POV~
Survival... the first lesson ever taught to me, and the first I ever taught to others. Your survival and thoose arounds you survival. In this senereo, if I was to protect myself , I would run. To procect the others, I stay. I choose to stay. But I don't know if i'll protect the others. But if I can save one of their lives, then it'd be worth it. I will not desert them now. I'll stay until the end... wether it'd be the end of me or the end of the enemies. I stay.
~Nickolas Pov~
As I work my way into the heart of this battle, I look for Liz. I need her. For it'll be my pleasure to kill her infront of Max and Michael at the end of this. After of course I tell them, that I only just now got her. The plan is so evil, so vicious that I love it. I get this nice and warm feeling all over with just the thought of it. Were is that human bitch. Aw there she is. I blast my way over, killing a few of my men. But who cares, we have many to spare. Liz looks startled at the fact that a pathway has just been blasted open in front of her. Until that is she locks eyes with me. She is pulling all her strength to kill me, but she is to weak. I put a shield up and deflect it. Killing a few more of my men. O well. I send a blast at her and I see her eyes widen, then she collapses. I grab her, and double check that she is still alive. Good... she is. I take her out of the battle, ordering my men to finish up the mess. The battle's end is so near, the war's end. I how I can't wait to gloat! Their blood on my hands!
~Michael POV~
I can hear it going on, I can feel it going on and I might as well as be seeing it go on but I can not participate in it. Just sitting here is killing me more than what it'd be like to fight on it. I can feel Maria weakening, I can feel Isabel weakening. Power and energy draining from them. I need to help them. I need to save my family. I look over at Max, who feels it all to be his fault. He looks like an elderly man, just sitting there with is head in his hands. A broken man.... whose lost everyhitng is never a pretty sight and I never thought I'd see that look in Max. Perfect Max... who I used to be so jelous of. I hear the door open and jump up and so does Max. We see Nickolas with Liz in front of him, using her as a shield. Wimp! As he walks in the door closes
"KILL HIM! The troops will retreat......"Is all Liz got out before Nickolas gagged her.
I raise my hand up to fire when Max throw a blast my way, I dodge it... verly tho.
"What the HELL??"- I hollar
"What were you going to do kill LIZ to?"Max demands staring me down.
I turn around and look into Liz's eyes, they are so sad and hopless. I get the feeling she'd rather have died right then.
Nickolas pulling Liz closer to him, he smells her hair and then looks straight up at Max.
"She is beautiful isn't she?"Nickolas taunts Max..
I look over and see fist gripping, holding himself back.
"You see Max, Liz is my secert weapon"- Nickolas states...
Both Max and I are shocked and by the look of the gagged Liz who is trying to say somthing she to is surprised.
"I just caught her Max, all that time before I didn't have her.... she was free. But you weren't Max. You arn't affected as an alien, but as a human you have many weaknesses. Weaknesses such as love and care. You could not bear to think of anything happen to your precious queen. That you didn't stop and evaluate the situtation to find that I did not have her."- Nickolas informs us
I look over at Max, his eyes broken... he'd done this and not even to save Liz. I look at Liz whose eyes are fool of tears. Both to weak to do anything, both to distracted. But I see an opening as to were to hit Nickolas and I take this moment to blast him.
"NOOOOO!!"-Sreams Max.
But Nickolas was to quick.. to alert he dodged it and sent a blast my way. Everything's black
~Liz POV~
O dear God... it is my fault. I could not change what I saw, its all playing out as it did in my vision. I was so wrong. So very wrong. I look at Michael lying on the floor not knowing that he and I are the only one's that will survive this ordeal. I look over to Max, whose mind is running to fast that I can't get anyhting from what he is thinking. I hear Nickolas laughing from behind me. His grip tightens around me, he's holding me so thight I feel if he pulls any tighter he'll crsuh my rib cage. I have to get this gag out. I start messing with it. When I hear Nickolas speak again.
"And now Max, since you did so much to keep her alive, you will watch her die. Watch her join all you other friends.. they surley are all dead by now. They had no strength to fight any longer, especialy when they saw me take Liz."- Nickolas mocks Max's pain with this.
I can feel all his pain bearing into me, mixed with the pain I already have it becomes strangling. But I manage to get the gage at out my mouth.
"HE LIES!!!!"- I yell to Max.... I must give him hope.
"There strogner then he thinks they are!"- I tell him trying to get him out of the place that he is in. He's lost himself.
Nickolas looks at him, then at me..
"Pity, I wanted him to watch you die but I guess you'll have to watch him die"-He says and before I can even process what he says...
Max is hit with a blast... so big a powerful that there would be no way of escaping the death toll of that. I watch as Max hits the floor.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"- I scream as he falls.
As I scream this my emotions are so out of sorts that I release a power so strong and large that I had never even gotten close to tapping into before. As the blast spreads, Nickolas falls dead releasing me from his grip. The door to the cell is blown away. So many fall dead, so many of the enemy who thought they would win this, now lie dead. As I look over and see massive amount of injuryed and dead I collapse. Everything is black.
* * *
"Liz, Liz... can you hear me?"- I look up and see Michael.
"Michael.." I whisper... I have only a little strength left
He help's me up and I look around, it is just him and I.
"The others?"- I ask.. fearing...knowing the answer
"Don't think of them now...you need strength"- he tells me
It is only at this point do I realize that I am not longer at Kivars base. I am back at our camp and I am in in a medical bed. I see Valinte in to cornor with his head down.
"Tell me"- I demand to Micheal
"Iz, Rene and Kyle were dead before we got to them. Matt, Jake and Maria died only a short while after they got here. I at least got to say goodbye..." He drifts off, remembering their tearful goodbye.. but he hasn't said anything about Max.
"Max?"- I ask in a whimper.. i remember the balst that hit him.
Michaels looks at me, his eyes full of tenderness and longing to help ease the pain for me. Longing to hide the truth from me. But I need to know. I reach out and grab his face and make it look at me...
"Max died right after I got to him, I held him in my arms and he told me..."Michael broke off, the emotion is to much for him, I nodd him on.
"He told me... he said 'Tell Liz, I love her and were ever we go after this life, I'll be waiting for her. And I am expecting to see her an old lady by then. Tell her that I will forever haunt her with my love and that my home will be in her heart and her is mine."- Michael finishes, his eyes looking straight into mine.
I cry into his shoulder as he holds me...
"He's right you know in someways"- I start to tell Michael... he pulls back and looks at me
"My home is in his heart... but it is also in everyones heart. Micheal you're all I have left. Were all we have left of eachothers home. And here in Roswell, even through all this rubble this is were it started. It's been a long journey... a long adventure with many lives lost. But Michael.. the road trip is over...the long road that we've been on lead us here. Home...."- I tell him, and he looks at me and we understand eachother...he holds me in a tighter hug, proctecting me as any brother would.
