Part 3
"What?" Xia asked not sure if she heard correctly.
"There was never a future Max, it was Nasedo and Tess all along"
"But how?" Xia questioned, she remembered who Nasedo was her father had spent years trying to track him down, he had always told her to be wary of him.
"We didn't find out about what they had done for a long time it wasn't until Tess turned that we found out Nasedo was still alive. You see we thought he was dead that the skins had killed him."
"Wait skins what are skins?" Xia asked cutting in.
"There our enemy I'll explain more about them later" Michael answered. "Anyway" Michael continued anxious to finish his story "Nasedo showed up at Max's one nite and died in his arms saying that the skins had killed him, he than disintegrated in front of all of us. We never new that it was all fake, that Nasedo had done the wounds himself and that Tess had mind warped us into seeing him disintegrate. It turns out that Nasedo and Tess had decided it would be easier to get there plan working and for Tess to get closer to the group, if Nasedo wasn't around so he faked his death and just hid in the background."
"You're kidding" Xia looked at him with a stunned expression, "that is beyond deceitful how could they?" She had heard of some pretty desperate schemes, but this one took the cake.
Michael shook his head "I know exactly what you mean when I found out about all this, lets just say there are some rocks in the desert that will never be seen again. But it gets worse."
"The future Max scam" Xia said, providing the answer.
"Yep that's right, the day before future Max's arrival Tess had found out that Max was planning on serenading Liz, with that knowledge she went to Nasedo and they formed a plan to get Liz out of the picture once and for all. It was Nasedo who transformed into future Max and Tess was watching on mind warping both Liz and Max at exact moments it worked perfectly."
"You mean she couldn't tell at all?"
"Nope not in the slightest, you see Nasedo was incredibly good at his shape shifting ability he had already fooled Liz once before" Michael shuddered remembering the outcome of that. He looked up and saw Xia's confusion "It was Nasedo's first attempt at getting rid of Liz, he didn't guess that Max would come after her," he elaborated. Xia just made an o shape with her mouth. "And Tess was a lot stronger at mind warping than she let us know" Michael finished with a grimace as he remembered the worst mind warp she had done, Alex's death. He ran a hand over his face hand looked at Xia who was sitting silently taking it all in.
When Xia finally looked up after realising Michael was staring at her, she noticed that he was looking slightly pale "Hey are you alright?" Xia asked with concern.
"Yeah" Michael replied "I just think it was a little easier convincing you than I expected, see I'm fading I was told by yourself actually that this would happen when the future began to change".
Xia couldn't help but smile at this knowing that just by planning it she was already changing a desolate future. "So how did you find out what they did?" Xia asked anxious to here the end.
"Like I said it wasn't until Tess turned and joined Kivar, that's when Nasedo came out of the woodwork, we were shocked to say the least. When we found out we hunted him down, we needed answers and he seemed like the likely choice. After we captured him, we tried to get what we could out of him, he was so damned cocky that he voluntarily told us about future Max, proud of his achievement. That bastard, Max almost killed him a few times."
"Why didn't you let him?" Xia was now cracking her knuckles dieing to rip this Alien apart herself.
"We couldn't we still needed more information though he wouldn't tell us much after that. When I left we still had him captive." Michael took a swig of his water he really wasn't feeling to good. Than he remembered the skins, in this timeline they hadn't even found out much about the skins yet. "Xia those things the skins I mentioned earlier." Xia nodded her head "There your enemy, the Roswell group don't know much yet but soon learn, heres the basics the skins live in a place called copper summit, there aliens with human husks that constantly peel and only last 50 years, there a different breed from our species while Antarians can transform there shape, skins can only hide in them but they are just as powerful. There looking for the granolith, the lady Liz works for, I can't remember her name Whittaker or something, she is a skin and causes trouble real soon, also the skins leader is a kid by the name of Nicholas"
"A kid" Xia cut in her eyebrows raised.
"Yeah but don't be fooled he's Kivar's second, he's an adult inside just trapped in a kids body and he's powerful. Oh and lastly there's a girl working in the café named Courtney she is a skin but a good one, she can provide you more information."
"That's all" Xia questioned, it really wasn't a lot of information about there enemy.
"Like I said just the basics, but enough to make you guys aware, when you talk to Courtney she'll be able to explain more.
Xia once again nodded her head in understanding, than a thought occurred to her, "How did I come onto the picture?" Xia asked. As she looked at Michael she noticed he was becoming whiter it was making her anxious they didn't have much time left.
" A few weeks after we captured Nasedo future you shows up, I don't think Nasedo ever banked on you, man you should of seen his face when we let it slip who you were and what we were going to do." Michael started laughing at the memory.
Xia smiled wildly at Michaels laugh. It looked like he needed that Xia mused enjoying her hybrid brothers laugh. "It doesn't surprise me that Nasedo wouldn't know who I am my father never got in contact with him, he never knew of us being sent down." Xia added
"Yeah he had know idea", Michael replied sobering up "anyway when you arrived we decided to stop what goes down and that you would be best, being the most powerful and all." Michael added.
"Why did you come back?" Xia asked
"I was the only real option," Micahel said, a deep frown crossed his face as he thought of the reasons. "If max had come back he would of gone after Nasedo running to high a risk, his emotions would of gotten in the way and somebody couldn't of gotten hurt, and with Isabel gone," Michael got a sad note to his voice as he remembered his fallen sister he coughed to hide his emotions and continued "and Tess being a power hungry witch I was the only option, besides I had to do something it was driving me nuts seeing Maria like that and not being able to help."
Xia took Michaels hand sensing his need for comfort, "What happened to Maria, Michael?" Xia asked tentatively.
Michael took a deep breath and held onto Xia's hand "When Kivar landed on earth he brought with him an incurable disease that effects only humans, a quick way of getting rid of humans I heard him say."
"That's awful we have to stop them, all of this from happening" Xia exclaimed.
Michael looked down at himself well it looks like my part is almost done it will be up to you Xia.
It was than that Xia noticed that Michael's arm had disappeared and more was slowly disappearing.
"Quick" Xia yelled suddenly becoming panicked, "tell me where Zan is and who killed him before you disappear, please", she begged.
Michael saw the desperation in her eyes and hoped she could save him, at least for her sake. She's so lonely in the future Michael remembered. "Zan is in New York he lives with the others in the subway." Michael took a deep breath with what he was going to say next this was not going to go down well, "he was killed by Lonnie and Rath".
"What!" Xia exclaimed for the second time that day "but why how could they, god I spend my life looking for a family whose killing each other"
Michaels legs were disappearing now and things were speeding up "the date Zan dies is on the back of the photo, as well as Liz's address and Xia" Michael looked into her eyes and squeezed her hand, making her focus. Xia looked up and saw all the things she had missed for the past few years in his eyes, compassion, concern, protection and many more, but most importantly she saw love.
"You will always have a family with us."
Xia felt tears come to her eyes as she heard Michael's words and watched him dissapear.
"Take care my sister" Michael whispered
"Always" Xia responded as the last of Michael disappeared.
