Chapter 12: The war!
Liz was bouncing Zan on her knees while Max wrapped an arm around her shoulder, playing with a rock that he had picked up.
"So we are going to die." Michael asked.
"In eleven days." Liz replied.
"Who?" Michael asked.
"You, Isabel, Max, I and Zan." Liz whispered; everyone looked at her stunned at this revelation. They could understand the four of them but not Zan.
"How the hell do they know about Zan?" Max demanded and Liz shook her head.
"I don't know, but the point is that they know about Zan and they killed him." Liz explained.
"Why now? Why after all this time?" Isabel asked.
"They must have found your mother's tape." Michael stated and Isabel looked at him.
"And what, now it's my fault?" Isabel asked.
"I'm just saying they put it together pretty quick." Michael explained and Alex sighed.
"Look, it's not going to help to point fingers, okay." Alex stated, defending Isabel.
"He's right. We need to come up with a plan as a team." Jim stated, Diane and Phillip just stayed quiet, stunned at how they all seemed to be used to this,
"A team? Look at us. It's ridiculous." Michael snapped.
"Michael, you're not helping..." Maria exclaimed.
"She's right." Max agreed, looking up at Michael and he sighed.
"Okay, fine, then, help. What's the plan?" Michael demanded and everyone looked at Max.
"I won't make this decision for everyone. I'm giving up the throne." Max stated as he rose up and addressed the group. "I'm not a king. Liz isn't my queen and Zan isn't our heir, he's our son. And you're not my second in command. And you're not a princess. We're just fighting for our lives." Max explained.
"Maybe its time we start fighting back?" Isabel asked, Michael opened his mouth to object and Liz stood up while sighing.
"We can't leave Roswell." Liz stated; looking at Michael, knowing what he was about to say and Michael looked at her stunned. "Max and I have son, we can't bring him up while we are on the run from the F.B.I. I have lost too much of my life for them to take anymore and I'll be damned if I let them take Zan's life away from him." Liz explained and turned to Max. "We need to fight back Max, Zan needs a stable place and I'm not leaving Roswell just because they are convinced we are dangerous." Liz explained and Max nodded.
"If you want to leave Roswell, then you can but I'm with Liz, we have Zan and we'll fight them if that what it takes to protect our son." Max stated.
"I'm staying, there's no way I'm letting the force drive me out of my home town." Maria spoke up as she stood up; Alex nodded in agreement, as Tess stood next to Liz, showing her approval while Tommy wrapped an arm around Tess's waist.
"There's no way I'm leaving my family behind." Isabel stated and Kyle and Jim nodded.
"We're behind you guys all the way." Jim stated; they all turned to Michael, Diane and Phillip.
"Hey, I'm not leaving if you are not leaving." Michael stated.
"I told you that I'm going to help you, it still stands." Phillip stated and Diane sighed.
"Fine, I'll help too." Diane agreed and everyone nodded.
"From now on, we are going to be fighting back, they push us, we push them harder and we'll show just how dangerous we can be when threatened." Liz stated with a hard glare.
"Okay, what do we do about Zan?" Max asked.
"I'll take him to River Dog, he will be able to look after Zan for us till we find a way to solve the F.B.I." Liz stated and everyone nodded, Max handed her the keys to the car so she could get a head start on it while everyone went back to the Crashdown.
The gang stepped into the Crashdown only to be knocked out when they felt something prick their necks; they all fell to the ground before they even knew what happened.
Liz was driving along the road when all of a sudden a black car pulled out in front of her, causing her to gasp in surprise and jerk the car around, she ran off the road only to crash into the tree, she hit her forehead off the steering wheel while Zan cried as the doors opened.
Everyone looked up from where they were sitting and saw them shove in an unconscious Liz, Max got up and caught Liz before she collapsed to the ground.
"Liz!" Max exclaimed, as the door slammed shut once more. Max healed the back of Liz's head and waited for her to wake up.
"How come you can't get us out of here?" Diane asked.
"They gave us something that prevented us from using our powers, we can only do minor things." Michael explained as Max rocked Liz.
Soon Liz opened her eyes and saw Max looking down at her; Relief replaced the fear that was showing in Max's eyes.
"God Liz." Max whispered.
"Where am I?" Liz asked.
"In the white room." Max explained and Liz sat up, she looked around the room and saw it was the same room that her mother was raped and killed in.
"NO!" Liz gasped out as she moved away from the walls; she walked backward toward the door, fear showing wildly in her eyes.
"Liz?" Max asked, Liz turned to the door and slammed on it, trying to get out much to the confusion of everyone else. "Liz?" Max asked.
"I've got to get out of here!" Liz exclaimed, panting with panic as tears ran down her face. Max hurried over to her and grabbed her arms; he spun her around; still holding onto her arms so he could look at her in her eyes.
"What is it?" Max demanded.
"This is the room where my mother was…" Liz choked out, not being able to finish it but Max caught on straight away; he pulled Liz into a hug as he shot looks of horror and disbelief over her head toward the gang. They couldn't believe that the F.B.I would put Liz in the same place where her mother had suffered more ways than one.
Liz brought her head up and looked around.
"Where's Zan?" Liz demanded and everyone looked at her.
"We thought you took him to River Dog." Max admitted and Liz shook her head, fear showing in her eyes once more.
"They cut me off before I got there." Liz whispered and Max felt a cold dread crawl up his spine.
Liz turned around once more and banged on the door, it opened and Agent stepped into the room with a smirk.
"Yes?" he drawled.
"Let him go." Liz stated softly but the anger was evident in her voice.
"It's the white room for him." The Agent Jackson smirked, Liz gasped as her eyes closed and her hands, she clenched them into fists.
"Liz." Max warned, he could sense her anger building as everyone watched.
"Let him go and you'll live." Liz warned once more, ignoring Max's warning.
"No way, we finally get our little toy." Agent Jackson stated and smirked, as he looked her up and down. "And maybe, I'll get to finish Agent Pierce work with you."
Liz's eyes snapped opened and her hands came up. Everyone could see that her eyes were pitch black and Max swore.
"Your loss." Liz smirked.
"Get down!" Max screamed at everyone, he or she all threw himself or herself on the floor as a bright light formed in the room and shot out of the room, enveloping the entire building.
The gang could hear the screaming of pain and anguish from the F.B.I agents as they all felt Liz's attack. Soon the bright light faded away and everyone looked up to see Liz panting yet her eyes were still pitch black.
"Oh my…" Diane whispered. Max stood up and began to move toward Liz but she lifted her hand once more and the door blew off from its hinges. Liz stormed out of the room, into the hallway and followed her link toward Zan, nothing else comprehended in her mind, only that she had to get to Zan to keep him safe.
Everyone followed Liz but were stunned at the sight she made, the walls were literally bursting into flames as she stormed her way through the hallway, there were dead bodies all over the ground thanks to Liz's attack on them.
"Liz." Max called out but she took no notice of him.
"What is going on with her?" Diane demanded.
"She is in a killing mode, her mother was killed by the F.B.I in the white room, Liz and I were thrown in there nearly two years ago now they have put our son in there. Liz told me that she swore on her mother's grave that the next person to put someone she cared about in the white room, she will forget about any mercy at all and kill them." Max explained to his mother.
"She's a cold blooded killer!" Diane hissed out, Liz stopped suddenly as she spun around and grabbed Diane's throat in her hand.
"Actually, I'm being a mother and I will do whatever it takes to protect him from human being who are closed minded as you. Your children are aliens, get over it!" She hissed out before dropping Diane and making her way once more.
"Plus she gets pissed off when someone says something she doesn't like." Michael added in helpfully, just a minute too late, causing the gang to roll their eyes in annoyance.
Soon Liz stopped in front of a door, she lifted her hand and the door was blasted off its hinges. Everyone saw four men in white coats, leaning over Zan with sharp instruments in their hands, all Liz could see was knifes being brought down to her son and Zan crying.
The men turned when they heard the door being blasted off it hinges and their eyes widen with fear at the sight of Liz looking murderous.
Liz cocked her head to the side before losing it, her hands came up, causing the men to go flying backward, breaking their spines as their back met the wall. Everyone could see blood pouring out of the men's mouth and clothes from where Liz had attacked their insides.
"Oh My God." Isabel whispered as everyone stared at her in a stunned horror, they hadn't believed her when she said she would do whatever it takes to protect her son, including killing.
Liz walked over to Zan and picked him up, holding him close to her chest.
"It's over, mommy here and never letting you go again." She whispered as she kissed Zan's forehead, thanking whoever were looking from above that the men hadn't had the chance to harm Zan.
She walked over to the gang and looked up at Max. "Let's go home." She whispered and Max nodded, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder before kissing her forehead and stroking Zan's cheek. They left the building to get on with their lives.
Liz sighed as she looked into the mirror; she was wearing her red graduation gown and holding her hat. It was two days after she had killed the F.B.I, after they had left the building; she had turned around and blew the building up, ensuring that no one would come after them again. This time there will be no more enemies, human or aliens. They are free to live their lives the way they want to.
Max came up behind her, dressed in his gown; he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his body.
"Are you ready?" Max asked and Liz smiled at him through the mirror.
"Yeah." She stated and they both left to face their future.
"Congratulation Class of 2002!" The principle shouted and everyone cheered, Diane, Phillip and Isabel were standing in the crowd, Isabel was holding Zan as Zan waved and clapped his hands.
Max, Michael, Alex, Maria, Tess, Kyle and Liz met up in the middle and cheered as they threw themselves into a group hug.
"I can't believe we made it!" Maria exclaimed.
"Today is the day we look forward to a great bright future filled with normal trouble and laughers." Alex stated and they all threw their hats into the sky, signalling a brighter future for all of them.
The end.
