Max leaves to find Zan
He walked briskly over to his friend. "Michael..." Max said, gently trying to wake him. He was still holding Max's son. "I-I'm here." He says weakly. He touches his wound, and shows Max the growing puddle of blood. "I'm not gonna make it..." He coughs. "You will, just hang on, God, just hang on..." Max pleads. Michael starts to move the baby from him. "I-I can't. T-take him..." Michael motions. Max shakes his head. "I can't. I need you. I have to find Zan and get Tess, before anything happens to them, please Michael, don't do this to me." Max begs. Michael just shakes his head. "Isabel?" He asks, as if he could see her. Max looks around and doesn't see anyone. Michael seems dead sure that she there with them. "You came!" He exclaims. "Michael... Iz, isn't here..." Max reminds. "There, Isabel, over here! Izzy!" Michael calls. Max covers his mouth to stop him. "She isn't here!" Max scorns, this time because Michael is freaking Max out. "Come on, man, pull it together. Let me see..." Max kneels down and places the baby next to him, then grabs Michael's hand and puts his other palm over his wound. "I have to try and close it." Max says. Michael is to weak to try and stop him. He squirms, but it is in vain. "Ah! No, Max stop!" He screams out in pain. "Okay... ok." Max soothes, taking his hand off the wound. He looked at his palm, covered in his brothers blood. It was then he saw it... the shape of the wound. "Michael?" Max asks. "Huh?" he moans. "Where did Iz, hit you?" He asks. "Um..." He points to the wound. Max nods, backing up where Isabel would have been, when she shot him. He raised his hand and realized that Isabel couldn't have done it.
flashes of the moment it happened
Isabel raises her hand and tosses Michael back, to her side and slightly back is Lonnie, raising her hand at the same time as Isabel, he hadn't noticed because of all the commotion. Lonnie is smiling as she knows she has just framed Isabel for Michael's wound.
Flashes end, and Max looks at Michael's wound
"It was Lonnie!" He explains. "Isabel pushed you, but Lonnie hurt you!" Max exclaims with excitement. "S-she what?" Michael coughs. "T-that means..." Max's eyes narrow. "Lonnie has to heal me." Michael says, flatly. "Yes." Max states sadly.
"Well den, lucky for yous, I gots here..." Lonnie calls from behind them. Max stands up, handing the baby to Michael, who grasps it with pain. "Lonnie, heal him!" Max begs. "Why?" Lonnie asks, with a smirk. "He's dying, please. Would you want Rath to die like this?" Max begs. Lonnie looks up, her eyes widen and she become uncomfortable. She walks over, totally not wanting to be there, and places her hand over Michael. Seconds later he is healed. Michael, stands up, free of pain, and very shocked. "Where's Iz?" He asks. Lonnie points, silently, almost defeated in her emotions. Michael looks up and sees Isabel, who can't control herself. She runs over to him and they hug.
Zan finds them
"Well, well... if it ain't da whole gang!" Zan says with hint of sarcasm. "Lookie, all of dem, such a pity." He tilts his head and yanks Tess out by her throat. "Max!" Tess calls. "Tess!" Max yells back. "Here!" Zan lets Tess go. She falls forward a little, but runs to Max, he embraces her and she kisses the baby. "Z-Zan?" Lonnie stutters. "H-how da hell! I killed yous once, an I'll do it again..." Rath threatens. Zan pipes up. "Dar will be no killing! No, threats, no nothin! Not unless I say so! I'm da king, and I rule over all of yous! Dat, is dat!" Zan says, with a threatening tone. They all look to Max, whose face grows angry. "I'm the king! You're nothing but a reject!" Max squawks. "Don't you think dat would be a little too easy, Mmm? Yous forget I was king before you, an I ain't gonna give my throne up!" Zan yells. "Tess, what is he talking about?" Max asks. Tess clears her throat. "Technically, we we're the 2nd set of Pods, so he was king first, but um, he died so now you are king... that's why Lonnie and Rath killed him, cause he wasn't doing what they wanted him to." Tess explains. "Dat's right! An now you ain't doin it right either! I swear yous want somtin done right, yous gotta do it yourself!" Lonnie smirks. Rath begins to grin as they step into the mix.
The Dupes rule all
Lonnie knows this is her chance to take back power. She looks at the pitiful scene with the royal four, then looks to Rath. She gives him a look, and he nods. She smiles evilly and walks up to Zan. "Hmmm." She begins, running her hand over his chest. "Where's Ava?" Zan asks. Lonnie's eyes open. "We told her to stay at da crib, no worries." Lonnie assures. "Really? And the Queen takes orders from the Princess now?" Zan says, putting Lonnie in her place. Lonnie snorts a few choice words under her breath. then pipes up. "Yous know? I tried to be nice, to get back on your side, but the thing of it all is dat, we liked you better when yous was dead!" Lonnie shoves Zan. He was unprepared for it and falls back, sliding to the doorway. Rath kicks him out onto the sidewalk. Max, Tess, Isabel and Michael run up behind them, watching in horror as Lonnie and Rath mercilessly attack one of their own. Zan is bleeding, battered and beaten. "no!" Tess cries, she looks away, burying her face in Max's sleeve. She buries the baby's face in her own chest.
Lonnie kicked Zan on last time. "You know what's wrong with this world?" She asked, while creating a spinning energy ball in her hand. "The fact is, it is filled with bumbling morons, like you!" Lonnie shoots the bolt at Zan, but it misses, as he rolls away. Rath smirks. As Zan gets up, Rath charges him, and shoves him into the middle of the street. An un-comming truck, reveals this to be what had happened before. Everyone knows this, and yet they still can't turn away. "Bye, brother dear..." Lonnie smirks as she watches without emotion, as Rath forces the truck to crush their king. Seconds later his body turns to ashes. "No!" Tess screams. Lonnie whips around and knocks Tess back. She lands on her back, protecting the baby. Max runs to her aid. Isabel gets very angry. "How dare you!" She yells. "I dunno?" Lonnie smiles and smirks. "I guess it's cause i had a bad childhood?" She shrugs, sarcasm filling her voice. Then from the ashes of Zan's body rise blue lights. They swirl around to create a blue streak of power. It rushes into Lonnie's body. Lonnie sparks with power. Her Palms shoot sparks of blue electric energy. Everyone except Rath back up.
'How badly do yous want to live?" Lonnie laughs. Max stand tall against her, but he is the only one. Michael walks to Max's back, but isn't making any first moves. "No?" Lonnie answers for them. "Good…" She comments. Just as she was about to fire on them, from behind came a strike, which hit Lonnie, and sent her crashing to the ground. They all ducked. As the dust cleared, they saw it was Ava. She was breathing heavily, and standing in the pile of ashes that was Zan.
"Ava?" Lonnie and Rath are shocked. "No." She says violently. "I won't let it happen again. Not with out a fight!" She yells. "I'm your Queen, you will bow before me!" She screams. This was it. The moment that they both had lived towards. If Lonnie beat Ava, she would become ruler. If not, than Ava would remain Queen. Lonnie got up, looking up at her threw evil eyes. They turn a blood-red color. Ava stiffens, ready for the attack. Lonnie snorts, like an animal, and charges Ava, tackling her to the ground. Ava escapes the scuffle and flees to the sidewalk. Just as she reaches the sidewalk, Lonnie begins to charge her from behind. Ava turns as, knowing that she was there, and sidekicks her in the chest. Lonnie flies back. This time as Lonnie sits in the road, on top of Zan's ashes, a taxi comes at her, crushing her. Rath screams and runs out like the fool he is, and is crushed along side her. The other remain silent, staring at everything has happened. Ava turns to them, glowing with powers. Hers isn't scary as much as it is beautiful. They stare at her in awe. None can comprehend what has happened. "I know you came here to get away from the FBI, the roadblocks… I know all about it." Ava says. "You do?" Max questions, shocked. "Yes." Her accent is gone, and she seems much more like a familiar older, essence. "Can you help us?" Max asks, worried. Ava shakes her head. "The world knows of us, there is only two things left you can do. You can either leave, go home and fight a battle that you will loose, or you can stay and loose what you are… it is your decision." Ava explains. They look sat each other, then to Max. He looks to Tess, who looks to Ava, as if looking at an older self-image. "You mean give up being hybrids? Can that even happen?" Tess asks. Ava nods. "I won't." She explains. Max nods. "None of us can, it's who we are." They agree.
Ava nods. "Than you must go, go home." She reminds. "But how? Everything is gone. We're stuck." Isabel moaned. "Maybe, but perhaps the home you must go to, isn't that far away…" They look at each other, when they turn back, Ava is gone, only a pile of ashes, remain. "Where-?" Michael asks, seeing that she is gone, then seeing the pile, knowing she is gone. "Let's go back to Roswell… we'll figure something out." Max explains. They all nod, agreeing. They walk off, down the street, hands held tight. As their backs are turns to the piles of ashes, four white lights appear behind them. One enters each of the Royal foru, with out them knowing.
