Recap:

"Powers?" Max asked, momentarily distracted from making their getaway.

Maxwell looked surprised that she had heard and opened his mouth to say something, but he heard someone come up behind him and something click. The next thing he knew, a gun was pointed at Liz's head and someone said, "Don't move."

Liz froze, not moving an inch. Max looked terrified for her sister and Maxwell's eyes grew wide. He wanted to use his powers to blast the man holding a gun to his girlfriend's head back, but he couldn't because the gun could go off.

"Well, well, well," White said. "Looks like my lucky day. 452, 494, and 603 all at the same time."

'He doesn't realize Aqua, Ruby and I are transgenics,' Emerald thought.

'Who is he referring to?' Maxwell asked himself. 'He's just saying a bunch of random numbers.'

White looked at Max. "Well 452, I'm so glad you're here. You're going to be able to watch me blow your sister's brains out."

Liz shut her eyes and breathed in and out slowly. She weighed her options. Overpower the asshole who was holding a gun to her head and fight him which would blow her cover and reveal her as a transgenic to her friends? Or let him blast her to smithereens and not getting her cover blown even thought it wouldn't matter because she would be dead. It wasn't a tough decision, really.

She sucked in a breath then whirled around, snatching the gun from White's hand and pointing it at him. White put his hands up and Liz smirked, happy with the feeling that she was in control. She relished being able to be herself again, and kick ass. Her mind switched to combat mode and she evaluated him.

'Damn,' she thought. 'He's not favoring any sides, and I can't see any apparent weaknesses.'

Isabel's breath caught at seeing her friend pointing a gun. It was just so unlike Liz that it scared her. The whole time she had known Liz, she always felt she was holding back something. It seemed like everything was planned out. She saw how Liz answered questions in class and purposely made mistakes so she wouldn't seem like she knew everything. In gym class, when they were working on gymnastics, Liz made several mistakes even though she had the body of a gymnast and the agility and grace of one. Isabel always wondered why Liz held back, but it seemed maybe now she would find out why.

White didn't move for a second, then he snatched out and hit the gun from Liz's hand. He threw a punch at her which she caught and then she sent one flying back at him. He grabbed her arm but she launched him over her head and sent him soaring through the air. White jumped back to his feet and took a fighting stance, which she did as well. They stood there, just eyeing each other, then they both lashed out at each other at the same time. They both got their own share of kicks and punches in, but it seemed like White was the one worse off. Even though Liz hadn't fought in a long time, almost ten years to be exact, all her movements were fluid as they came back to her.

"What's the matter?" Liz taunted. "You getting too old to fight?"

Maria, Kyle, Jesse, Michael, Isabel and Maxwell were all shocked at this new Liz. Liz had never made fun of anyone in the whole time they had known her. She was a shy, quiet and kind girl.

A muscle in White's jaw twitched at the last comment and he pulled another gun from his jacket and fired, but Liz just laughed and dodged it easily.

"That was pitiful," Liz said, her voice dripping with mock sadness.

White growled. He was starting to hate anyone in 452's family. They all seemed to have the same amount of sarcasm and wit.

Max grinned. 'You go girl.'

White threw himself at her again, but his anger made him sloppy. Liz sighed and stuck her foot out, tripping him. He got back to his feet in time for her foot to smash into his face and then she did 3 back flips in a row and landed once more in her fighting stance.

Max loved watching her sister kick White's ass, but they couldn't waste anymore time because she still needed to get to their other siblings.

"Hey White!" she called.

White turned to face Max and she did a roundhouse kick to his temple then followed it up with a another kick.

Below the belt.

Pain or no pain, White sunk to the ground, his face contorting in weird expressions. Max kneeled down in front of him and punched him square in the face, knocking him out. She stood up.

"Okay, party's over guys. We need to head out. White probably sent his weird cult loonies after the rest of our siblings and we need to get to them before they do. You girls with me?" she asked.

Liz's friends were still stunned by the performance Liz had put on.

"How. Where. What the hell?" Maxwell said. He couldn't seem to be able to get a full sentence out that made sense.

"How did you do that?" Maria asked for him.

Liz smiled weakly. "It's in the genes." She walked up to them. "Look guys, I'm really sorry that I have to go. Believe me, I don't want to. But you don't understand. My family's in trouble, and I need to help save them. I wish I could stay and explain things, but we just don't have the time. When things settle down, maybe I'll come back to straighten things out. But for now, all my staying here will do is endanger you even more than you already are."

She said the last part while looking at Maxwell, Michael and Michael. The thing is, they were honest to god aliens. The alien's hibernation pods were deactivated by the Pulse and they were freed as children in 2009. Her boyfriend, Maxwell, was actually the king of his planet! They already had people after them, and her staying there would make them even more endangered.

She walked up to her friends and hugged them each in turn. They were too stunned to react and Maria was crying. When she got to Maxwell, she kissed him long and hard. "I'm sorry," she whispered.

Max's own eyes were starting to tear up as well, but she pushed them down. She wanted something like that. She wanted to have someone who loved her unconditionally and she wanted to be able to love them back. Sure, she had Logan, but recently, all he was doing was bug her about Eyes Only missions when she was tired and leading a nation. She was questioning how she felt about him. She loved him, that was for sure, but she didn't know what type of love she had for him. Was it friendly love? Or was it soul mate love? Maybe a year or two back she would have believed it was the latter, but now she wasn't so sure. Her thoughts drifted back to Zack. 'He loved me,' she thought. 'Well, he sure as hell doesn't anymore,' she thought bitterly. 'Not after what I'd done to him.'

Liz turned away from Maxwell, but in a last act of desperation, he grabbed her hand.

"We'll go with you then," he said. "Let us go with you and you can explain things then."

A small bit of hope of not having to leave her friends started within her, but she squashed it.

"It's dangerous where I'm going," she said.

"So? It's dangerous everywhere," Maxwell said. "Just let us come with you," he pleaded.

Liz looked at Max, silently asking her the question. After a moment of consideration, she nodded and a smile spread over Liz's face.

"Alright, you can come."

Maxwell looked at the others and they nodded too.

"You're not leaving us here and having all the fun for yourself," Michael said.

They laughed and ran towards the van. But before Maxwell could get in, Max took his arm.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked him.

He nodded and she motioned to Alec to get everyone settled in.

"Maxwell, right?" she asked uncertainly.

He nodded again and she smiled.

"Well, this is going to be confusing. I'm Max." She held out her hand and he shook it, still wondering why she wanted to talk to him.

She saw that although he was polite, he was wondering why she pulled him aside.

"I'll cut to the chase since we're pressed for time," Max said. "Where we're going, there's going to be a lot of, uh, different people. Some may look a little weird."

He frowned at this, not quite understanding what she meant.

She sighed. "Okay, what I'm going to tell you has to stay between us and Liz's friends. Other than that, no one can know what I'm about to tell you."

He nodded. "Okay."

"I also want you to tell me any secrets that you have, which could put us at risk," she continued.

Maxwell swallowed. That meant that he would have to tell her that they were aliens. Liz took it well and believed it, but would her sister? He nodded anyways.

"Alright." She took a deep breath. "Liz, Emerald, Aqua, Ruby and I are genetically engineered supersoldiers slash killing machines who escaped from a secret government facility called Manticore when we were about 9. We have been hunted but now that we have been exposed to the world, they no longer want to hunt us, they want to kill us. At the top of the list of people who are trying to kill transgenics, there is Ames White, the man you saw just now, who is an NSA agent slash Familiar, who are people who are also enhanced but can feel no pain. He hates transgenics, but he has a personal vendetta against me because I'm supposed to be The One who stops this thing called The Coming, which I have no idea as to what it is. The prophecy says that I'm supposed to save the world or something or other, and White and his freaky cult loonies don't want that. That and the fact that I always kick his ass. Anyways, so yeah. I'm the leader of a freak nation, there are some transgenics who look more like animals than humans, and the world is out to get us. Anything I left out?"

Maxwell was speechless and didn't say anything for a moment. "This Manticore place, what was it?"

"It was no picnic, believe me." Her face became dark at the thought of it. "You have to understand, we were raised to be soldiers to kill people, so they were harsh. It was no shitty boarding school, it was straight up torture. You can ask Liz about it, but be gentle. Manticore tortured us, really tortured, not some slaps and stuff. Some of our brothers and sisters even died through it."

Maxwell looked traumatized. "They tortured little kids? Liz too?"

"Yup. We weren't little kids to them. We were filth, expendable and soldiers."

"What are transgenics exactly?" Maxwell asked.

"Well, we were created in test tubes," Max said. "Everything about us is enhanced. We were created to have great looks, be faster than speeding bullets, jump 20 feet into the air, be agile and swift for fighting, have an enhanced learning rate, hear, smell and see from a far distance and a lot of other things. We all have animal DNA mixed in with us, for example, I have cat and a dash of shark. The X series look like normal human beings, no tails or anything sticking out, but the others don't. They had too much animal DNA added to them and look part human, part animal."

"Okay," Maxwell said. "Since you were completely honest with me, I'll be honest with you. Michael, Isabel and I are all aliens from outer space."

Max just looked at him blankly.

Maxwell shrugged. "Hey, you're a supersoldier made from a test tube, why can't there be aliens?"

"At least we're sci-fi," she muttered. "Okay. What can you do?"

"Well, we can throw people around using our powers and stuff, we can heal really bad injuries, we can communicate with each other through our heads and some other stuff," Maxwell said.

Max nodded. "Okay, good to know. On another matter, I see you're my sister's boyfriend and you two seem very close. What do you feel for her?"

Maxwell was a little uncomfortable sharing stuff like this but he figured he shouldn't lie considering she was a programmed killing machine. "I love her, I really do."

Max smiled. "You better. 'Cause no offense or anything, but you hurt her, and you'll be very sorry. I'm very protective of my family, but I'm nothing compared to my brothers. If you mess with any of us, my brothers tend to get angry. And if they do, well, it won't be pretty. Catch my drift?"

Maxwell nodded. She didn't want to threaten him but she was very protective of her group. As he was. He could understand her concern.

Max grinned. "I think we'll get along just fine. Before we go to Terminal City which is where all the transgenics are hiding out, we need to make a few stops. My family's in danger because that son of a bitch White found out where they're hiding and probably sent out some of his Familiar friends to get them and kill them. We need to save them."

Maxwell nodded once again. "We'll help you the best we can."

She smiled. "Thanks. Okay, get in the van and explain everything to your friends if you have time."

They got in and Alec looked at Max. "An X5 named Gina said she saw a bunch of black vans heading towards the place where Faith is."

"Let's go."

Dix's radio crackled and Alec's voice filled the room. "Dix, you there?"

He picked up his radio. "Yeah. What do you have?"

"We've got Liz, Emerald, Ruby and Aqua."

"Got it," Dix said. "Only 8 more to go."

"Something's in the air tonight," Faith muttered. She was leaning against the back porch, just enjoying the cool night air on her face. Then suddenly it changed and became a little more violent. Faith often knew when something was going to happen, being transgenic and a slayer made her prone to being on her guard. 'Vampires?' she pondered. 'Or something else? Something that has to do with me.'

She scouted her surroundings, almost expecting someone or something to pop out and try to kill her. There was no one there that she could see, but she still felt like someone was watching her. She pretended not to notice anything, hoping that whoever it was would come out of the shadows, but no such luck. They stayed well hidden.

Buffy, Xander, Spike and Willow had gone out to get something to eat. She hadn't wanted to go, but now she almost wished she had. Then again, Dawn was still in the house and if something was going to happen at least Faith would be there to protect her.

Suddenly she sensed someone coming towards her so she tensed and dropped into a fighting pose.

"Who's there?" she called.

Coco and Crystal emerged from the darkness and Faith relaxed.

"Don't scare me like that," Faith said, irritated at her younger sisters.

"We're sorry big sister, but we couldn't resist," Coco said chuckling.

"Yeah," Crystal said. Her face became serious. "You notice something off tonight? Your slayer powers telling you anything?"

Unbeknownst to Faith, Dawn had been watching her the whole time. She had seen how Faith had somehow knew someone was out there. Her eyes widened when she heard Coco call Faith 'big sister' and even more when Crystal mentioned Faith being a slayer. Faith had told them?

Faith shrugged. "Not only that. Guess our little sixth sense thing is too."

'Sixth sense?' Dawn thought. 'What does she mean?' She heard a door open quietly and Buffy and the others came to where Dawn was and eavesdropped with her without making a sound.

"Something big is going to go down," Crystal said. "I know it."

"Hey, you know what's cool?" Coco said excitedly. "I saw Maxie on TV!"

"What!" Faith exclaimed. "What do you mean?"

"Seems like she's the leader of a nation. A transgenic nation. The whole world wants her dead but little sister appears to stay strong," Coco said proudly.

"No kidding!" Faith said. "Hmm. Think we should stop by, help her out? I haven't seen her in about ten years."

"She's gorgeous," Crystal said. "Reminds me of Krit."

'Little sister? Maxie? Transgenic nation? World wants her dead? Krit? What the hell is going on? Why are Coco and Crystal here?' These thoughts were running through everybody's heads.

Alec entered Sunnydale and drove to the house where Gina said White's Familiar friends had stopped. They drove up quietly, and talked with the other Xs already there.

"There were about five Familiars," Gina told them. "Some girls were talking about how they saw Max on TV leading a nation. I guess one of them is Faith, but I don't know about the others."

Max snuck a peek and smiled. "Coco and Crystal. We're getting through the list fast."

Max decided that she and Liz would go in to fight the Familiars and the rest would be on backup.

"I can't believe Maxie's leading a na-" Faith stopped abruptly.

"Show yourself," she called.

All of a sudden five men rushed out at them.

Buffy and the others ran out to where Faith, Coco and Crystal were but stopped when two other girls ran in and all five started fighting the men easily.

"What the hell is going on?" Buffy said. "How is Faith fighting like that? And how can Coco and Crystal fight? Plus, who are those two random girls?"

Faith punched the first Familiar who ran at them and slugged him in the gut. She did a cartwheel then a roundhouse kick at him.

Coco did a triple backflip and karate chopped the Familiar who rushed at her. He had a choke hold on her, but she stopped struggling on purpose for a moment to pretend she had weakened. He stupidly loosened his grip so she elbowed him and used his hold on her to flip over him.

With cat-like grace, Crystal slinked up behind a third Familiar and blurred around him when he whipped around. He turned back to be met with a fist in his face.

Max and Liz rushed on scene to take care of the other two Familiars who were walking towards Faith and Crystal.

"Hey, losers, don't you think you should go back to the loony bin you came from?" Max yelled.

They turned and rushed at Liz and Max just as they hoped.

They threw punches back and forth, doing flips and maneuvers no ordinary person would be able to do, but the Familiars didn't seem to be tiring. It was then that Max recognized one of them as the one who fell off a 15 story building.

She sighed. "Don't you guys EVER die!"

He didn't respond and they went back to fighting.

Buffy and the others seemed frozen on the spot. They didn't know what to do.

One Familiar pulled a gun on Crystal but she was too quick for that. She kicked the gun from his hand and it went soaring in the air, landing easily in her hand. She fired off a few shots at him, hitting his kneecap and shattering it, another bullet lodging itself in his shoulder. When she found it was empty, she threw it against the porch and it smashed to pieces.

"Hey!" he yelled. "That costs a pretty penny!"

'He speaks!' she thought. "Yeah well, the penny was obviously not pretty enough 'cause that gun wasn't indestructible."

They kept fighting the Familiars, Coco finally knocking hers unconscious by slamming him against a tree.

"None of your maneuvers will surprise me!" Max's Familiar said.

"Funny," Max said. "That's sort of what that creepy little Familiar boy said last time." She lifted her shirt and flashed him.

Xander's and Spike's eyes widened at that.

The Familiar was stunned for a moment so she took advantage of it and kicked him in the head, knocking him out as well.

She grinned then adjusted her shirt. "Works like a charm every time."

Crystal and Liz finally knocked their Familiar out and Faith killed hers with his own gun.

They all stood up, not even sweating or breathing hard.

Buffy just looked at them. "Holy shit. That looked like a piece of cake for you guys!"

Faith grinned. "Was." She turned to her younger sisters. "Maxie." They hugged tightly then she hugged Liz. The same was repeated with Coco and Crystal.

Faith walked up to Buffy who just stared at her incredulously. "I'm sorry for not telling you but it would have put all of you in more danger than you already are in. You see, not only am I a slayer but I'm also a transgenic which means I'm genetically perfect, a killing machine, and everything about me is enhanced."

"Slayer?" Max asked.

"I kill vampires," Faith explained.

"Vampires?" Max looked like she was going to faint. "So we go from transgenics to aliens to slayers and vampires? My god, what is the world coming to?"

Faith frowned. "Aliens? What are you talking about?"

"Just come," Max said wearily.

Faith turned to Buffy and the others. "You wanna come? I'll explain everything."

Buffy looked at the others and nodded. "You better have one hell of an explanation," she said.

All of them walked to the two vans and Faith saw Alec leaning against one of them.

'Well, look what we got here,' Faith thought. She eyed him. 'Nice body, and he's sure hot.'

Alec saw Faith eyeing him. "See anything you like?" he asked, grinning.

"Yup. A lot," she responded, not shy or embarrassed in the slightest.

Alec chuckled. Most girls weren't as forward as this one, but it interested him.

"Ben?" Coco asked.

Faith stopped her inspection.

"No. I'm his twin. My name's Alec," he said.

'Alec, huh?' Faith thought. "Oh, okay." She continued looking him over.

Alec raised his eyebrows and Max shook her head in disgust. "Oh, please don't, not in front of me."

She split everyone up and then ushered everyone in the two vans where a lot of explaining was about to take place.

They all walked into Terminal City, everyone filled in on everything else. They were all a little threw off by what they heard, but everything was working out.

Max walked into HQ and said hi to Dix.

"We've got Faith, Coco and Crystal."

"Jondy and Zane are on their way here. Nothing happened. Tawny and some X5s were almost caught by White's Familiars but they got away. They're on their way now. No word from Syl or Krit or the X6s who went to get them."

Max furrowed her brow. "Dammit. Something could've happened to them."

"Or maybe the radio was just smashed and we couldn't call in," Krit said as he and Syl walked into HQ. Max ran to hug her siblings.

"God baby sister, we thought you were dead!" Krit said.

"I was but Zack saved me," she said. 'Zack. He needs to be here too. With his family. I'll go over there and bring him back. Maybe I can talk to him and convince him that Logan isn't a threat.'

"We know where Zack is Maxie and it's okay," Syl said. "We miss him but he did try to kill Logan. Although I do think you could've tried harder to make him understand."

"No, you're wrong Syl. I shouldn't have sent him away. I'm sorry guys, but I need to go. We need to bring him back to be with his family," Max said.

Krit smiled. "Great. But what about Logan?" He didn't like the guy very much but he didn't want to see him dead.

Max only had to think about it for a second. "I'll try to convince Zack that Logan isn't a threat. And if it doesn't work then… we'll figure something out."

She rushed out the door.

Syl and Krit looked at each other. When their baby sister set herself out to do something, she would do it at all costs. They were just worried for the people who would stand in her way.

A/N: Hey guys! I already have the next chapter written up so if you review then I'll post it right away.

Angel Of Darkness231 – Thanks for reviewing! If you could, please tell me some things about slayer powers and if you know anything about them, the Roswell aliens' powers.

Doza – Thanks for reviewing!

Alexandra Bruderlin – Psst. I'll tell you a secret. I've never watched a minute of Roswell in my whole life, let alone an episode. As for Buffy, I've watched it a little but don't really know anything about it. LOL I just incorporated the other shows into this fic 'cause I have a wicked idea for later on. I've also read other fics where people make Liz Jondy. That bugs me too because I like it when they are their own person. For the updating fast part, how do I manage it? Simple, by not doing my homework. LOL

kiwifruit03 – Thanks for reviewing!

Almond8 – Thanks for your review! I'm a relatively new fan fiction writer so I didn't know about betas. Personally, I think my spelling is fine but you're right, I do have some grammatical issues. Thank you for pointing that out, I appreciate your constructive criticism.
