Chapter 18
Everyone turned to look at Kyle.
"Look we all know that we are going in to get Zan but we can't give the granolith right?", asked Kyle.
Everyone nodded.
"Why can't we?, I mean we can give them the rocket ship part, I'm assuming, with Brains like
Liz, Serena, and Alex and Ava's mind warping skills I'm sure we can fool them into thinking
that we gave them the precious granolith. I don't even think they know that the granolith is two
parts the top part and the control center on the bottom. We just make them not see the control
center at the bottom. I believe that we can get rid of the Tess problem also, just give them the
supposed Queen, they still thinks she's pregnant so imagine the surprise when they find out she
lied. I'm telling you we can get justice for all she has done to us, without having to touch her",
said Kyle.
Everyone looked at Kyle in amazement. This was the first time that Kyle said that much without
a joke added to it.
"Alright say you are right, how are we going to keep Tess from telling them about the other part
of the granolith", asked Max. "Oh I can help with that, I can mind warp her into not
remembering that part of the conversation and actually stop her from remembering Liz having
your child", said Ava . "Just make her think that you were shooting blanks you know," said
Kyle smirking. They looked at him and laughed. Max's ears turned red at this. Serena began
shouting loudly. "Zan Zan, please stop hurting him, please oh God.", screamed Serena. Tears
were running down her face. Everyone turned back to her and Michael who was still mumbling
soothing words in her ears to calm her down.
Blood started dripping from Serena's mouth and nose. Everyone gasped at this. Isabel grabbed
Serena and made a connection. She sent her limited ability to heal though the connection. She
hoped that if Serena could feel Zan then Zan could feel her too and maybe that would make the
pain less painful. It must have worked because Serena calmed down. Her screamed turned to
soft whimpers. "What did you do Izzy?", asked Michael. Tears were in his eyes yet they were
unshed. "Well I thought that since she could feel Zan that Zan could feel her too so, I sent some
healing energy to him though her.", said Isabel. She was tired she looked it. She sat down. Alex
looked worried and asked, "Izzy are you alright?" "Yeah I mean healing takes a lot of you, man
Max is this how you feel when you heal someone?", asked Isabel. "No not really", said a
concerned Max. "Don't worry about Izzy, she just used a ower that wasn't technically hers so
she has to try harder to understand it mechanics", said a weak Serena.
Liz kneeled down next to her sister and moved her bangs from her eyes. She looked into her
violet eyes and asked, "Sweetheart are you alright, you are scaring us". "Yeah its just it hurts so
much, why would they do that to him, he didn't do anything wrong, Vilondra is supposed to be
his sister, and Rath is supposed to be his friend, why are they hurting him", said Serena crying.
"I don't know why?" said Liz. Tears were coming down her face. She was very emotional
especially with these pregnancy hormones. Isabel also was tearing up. That bitch was hurting
her brother. "Okay everyone what are we going to do?", asked Michael. He was very worried
he didn't know how long Serena was going to last. He looked at his sister and she still looked
pale, which meant that Zan was the same way. "I think we follow Kyle's plan or we sneak Zan
out of there, but they will still be on our cases. It would be better for them to go to Antar and
leave us the hell alone", said Alex.
"I don't know I think from what we learned from both timelines and our past lives, is that this
war is going to happen even though we don't want it, I say I destroy those punks now and deal
with the bigger guns when they get here", said Michael. "No, I don't want you hurt Michael",
said Liz. She went to him and took the hand that was holding Serena and looked at him and
said, "You can't do this alone we go in together as a family, which means we finish giving Maria
Tess's powers, they won't see that coming". Michael looked at Liz and smiled slightly. It was a
good idea. "But what about Zan, the longer we are here in la la land the longer he is in pain, they
are hurting my brother, why would they do that, why would she do that, she is supposed to be
his sister, our sister Max, oh god", said Isabel. She was weeping openly on Alex's shoulder.
Alex just held her close and rocked his fiancé back and forth until she calmed down. "Serena is
there anyway for us to speed up the process of sharing these memories", asked Max. He also
wanted to get Zan out of there. His brother was hurting by the way Serena looked he was just
calm for a little bit. It seemed that Serena was waiting for some sort of attack. "Yes, We hold
hands and open our minds just like before, but the memories will be coming at fast rates, its
going to be overwhelming but I think that should help Maria get her powers", replied Serena in
a low voice. "Alright let's do this, I want to get my brother home and away from those sadist
bastards. We will follow Kyle's plan. Ava can you hold a mind warp that long?", asked max.
"Yeah, plus, I'll have Maria to help to remember", replied Ava. Everyone got in position around
in a circle and opened themselves up to the storm of memories. They saw Isabel, Michael, and
Max coming out of the pods. They saw Serena being born, also Kyle and Alex. Memories were
going at rapid speeds. Serena was right it was overwhelming. They saw Kyle's mother leaving
him and his father and they felt the pain of abandonment that he felt. They also saw Michael
getting whipped by Hank on a regular basis. At this memory tears spilled from everyone's eyes.
They saw Alex feeling a bond with Maria and Liz in fifth grade. They also felt his profound love
for Isabel from the first time meeting her on the playground. They all felt his heart pounding hard
and the sight of her. They saw large parts of Serena's life. They felt Serena's love for her
parents and feeling neglects. She knew her mother loved her but being a singe parent was hard
to be. Her father Kal Langley barely aid attention to her. He sent her checks in the mail and
birthday cards but didn't ever come to visit her expect for two years the two years she figured
who she was and met the two most important people in her life at that time, Ava and Zan. She
loved them both soo much. The memories with Zan were so intense that everyone felt their heart
clench.
"Zan, I can't be with you, you know that you have a destiny I can't get in the way of
that", said Serena. "Do you love me, I can feel it Serena please don't lie to me", said
Zan. "Oh god, don't ask me questions like that, please Zan don't", said a crying Serena.
"Please tell me", said an equally tearful Zan. "Yes I love you so much, it hurts Zan, I
want ot be with you but we can't you know that, and I know that, we can't be selfish",
said Serena. Zan looked at her and pulled her towards him and kissed her with all the
passion he could muster. "Tell me you didn't feel anything, I know people find their
soulmates at 12 years old because I found mine, Serena I'm sooo in love with you. I hurts
to breath when I'm not with you, please don't do this, please, please", said Zan holding
her hands and kissing her face over and over again. "No I can't I'm sorry, please don't
do this, I love you but your soul mate is Ava, I can't be selfish.", said Serena even though
it hurt her physical to do so. "No I love you, I want to be selfish, I need you don't you see
that, I'm nothing with out you, please, please, oh god don't leave me," cried Zan. Serena
kissed him softly on the lips and softly said, "I love you, but I can't, I love you more then
words can describe, maybe we will be together in another lifetime, maybe my next. God I
love you" said Serena. Zan looked up at her and let go of her hands and watch the love
of his life walk out of his life maybe forever. Zan dropped and wept loudly. Zan didn't
know that Serena watched him. Her heart broke at the scene in front of her and that day
she died.
The next couple of memories were memories everyone recognized, Michael going to Maria
when things were bad at home. They saw Alex giving blood and feeling betrayed by Liz when
she didn't tell him the truth after finding out about Topolsky. They felt Isabel immense pain after
Alex's death. They felt the continued pain she holds in her heart that she won't be able to
protect the ones she loves. Recent memories began surfacing. Such as when future Serena
healed Alex and told him about everything that was going on. They saw his genuine love and
care for Ava. He felt his surprise and excitement when finding out that Liz, Michael, Ava, and
Serena were his brothers and sisters. They also felt his excitement about finally being with
Isabel. They saw him take out his grandmother's ring and put it in his pocket and making the
wish u to who ever is up the there to let Isabel accept his proposal. They felt Serena's love for
Max, Michael, Kyle, and everyone else in the room. They felt her fear of Nicholas something
that she was scared to admit to herself. They felt Michael's regret about not staying with Maria
after finding about his destiny. They also saw Michael and Maria making love after he poetically
stated that he wanted her to see the real him. They all got the flashes of how he saw Maria.. The
memories were going faster, they saw all of Max's life, his love for Liz and Isabel. They saw
how he felt when Liz walked away from him after learning about his supposed destiny. They
saw the scene in the upside van where He proclaimed to Liz the first time his love for her. They
saw all the pain he felt with seeing Kyle in bed with Liz. They felt the absolute happiness that
came along with the fact that Liz was pregnant. They also saw that night how Tess and Nicholas
held Max down and raped his mind. He fought and blocked the location of the granolith from
them. They took the memory of how Liz and Himself cemented there relationship. They saw
Isabel growing up feeling that she had to protect her brother. They saw he crying every night
because they didn't know where Michael was when the Evan's picked them up. They saw the
relief that Isabel had when they met up with Michael in school. They felt how Isabel just anted
to be normal and that's why she hung out with those brainless girls in school. They felt Isabel's
longing to be in Liz's group with Maria and Alex. They felt her love for Alex but also felt her
despair about not being normal enough for him. All these memories ended and everyone feel to
the ground behind them. It took them all about 10 minutes to get their boundaries. When they
woke up they saw Maria smiling at them and she said, "Well its about time, I had to stare at you
people drolling", said Maria. Michael walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her and
said, "Are you alright?". "Yeah I'm fine, full powers are in me, I also heard everything that was
going on so, let's get out of here and save Max and Isabel's brother and get Serena her man",
said a determined Maria.
