Chapter 20
Valenti tried to turn around to look at whom the voice was coming from, but he couldn't get out of the hold of the chair. It didn't matter though, because it was only seconds before the guy walked into his view.
The head boss man was about average height and build, with a receding hair line. He walked straight to Liz and Isabel, completely ignoring Valenti. He looked at the two of his agents, and they came over and lifted Isabel and Liz up by their hair.
Max, Michael, and Kyle watched the boss man. He was saying something to Liz and Isabel, but he was talking so quiet they couldn't hear anything, and they were afraid, if they tried harder they would get noticed.
"You two have put me through hell and back, but I have to admit it has been fun. It was a never boring day trying to find you group of alien rejects, and you actually got me for awhile. I couldn't find you, but then someone got pregnant." He looked at Liz and grinned an evil grin. "How is that sweet, precious baby of yours?"
Liz jerked out of the hands that held her back, and charged for the head agent. She didn't see him pull out a small stun gun from his coat. He must have had it set on a low voltage, because it didn't knock her out.
Liz screamed from the electricity running through her. "MAX!" she yelled, before she fell to her knees.
"That's it, no more. I am not watching anymore." Max said, pushing the door open, Michael and Kyle following him. They were so mad. They could feel the energy of their powers flow through them.
"Stop!" Max yelled, he had his arm raised, and he was pointing it straight at the head agent.
The agent looked up and smiled at him. "I was wondering when you would show up." He smirked at Max and added. "King Max."
Max flinched at the sound of his title. He didn't consider himself a king. He didn't want to be a King, and he never would be a king. "How do you know that?" he demanded.
"You can thank your friends Rath and Lonnie for that special bit of information. To bad that they aren't around for you too though." He snapped his fingers, and a guard came over handing him a gun. He cocked the gun, and grabbed Liz around the neck holding the gun to her head.
"Liz!" Isabel called out, but was silenced with a smack.
"No, let her go!" Max said taking a step closer to Liz and the head agent. He could feel Michael and Kyle on each side of him, he could feel the anger radiating off of them.
"What's the matter Max? Afraid I might shoot your precious wife? As I hear it this would be the second time today, heard that the last one was a doosy." He pulled her close and looked her up and down. "Look though she doesn't have a scratch on her. Looks like you have more power than I thought."
Max felt his heart skip a beat. Liz looked so tired, she was all bloodied up and pale, but she would never have admitted it. She stood there, gritting her teeth against the pain, never making a sound.
"I have a proposition for you," The head agent said with an evil grin. "Seeing that you have something that's important to me, and I have something that is clearly important to you. I will offer you a trade, Your wife's life for yours."
"Max, no!" Liz had started squirming in the head agents arms. "Don't do it, it's a trick Max, don't do it."
"Shut up," the head agent said moving his hand to over her mouth, but never removing the gun.
Max stared at Liz, she was pleading with him with her eyes, and he could swear he saw a tear stream down. He had to save Liz, and if this was what it would take, then this was what he would do. "What about the others?" he demanded.
"I suppose I can spare their lives too." He took his hand away from Liz's mouth and snapped his fingers, as two other guards got their guns out, and pointed them at Valenti and Isabel. "Or I can kill them too. It's all up to you."
Liz heard the guns being cocked, and amount of anger took over her body. She narrowed her eyes, and tried to think of a plan, she couldn't use her powers because her hands were tied. So she did something that any human would do in self defense.
She waited for him to bring his hand back to her face. He held her by her chin this time his palm holding it up. She opened her mouth wide and bit into the area right between his forefinger and thumb. He yelped and let go of her, she had a taste of blood in her mouth, ignoring it she tried to crawl away.
Max watched Liz bite the head agent's hand, and he couldn't help but smile inside. He knew that Liz wouldn't give in. He started over to help her get away, but he wasn't fast enough.
One of the agents saw her getting away and grabbed her, throwing her across the room. She went of the counter of the bar, and hit the wall with a loud thunk, knocking a tray of silverware to the ground.
"Liz!" Max yelled, he pointed his arm towards the agent, and sent him a blast of energy, throwing the agent up against the wall.
Kyle ran and got Isabel's hands untied while Michael and Max fought off the 20 guys with guns. His next attempt would be his dad. The only problem with that was, he was being surrounded by guards.
Kyle saw the ropes, and stayed low to the ground, as not to be noticed. He stretched his hand out and concentrated on the ropes. That was what they kept telling him, that he just needed to concentrate. So he concentrated, and concentrated, and then all of a sudden the ropes broke apart, and his dad rushed out of the chair.
Isabel took cover behind Max's shield. There were more bullets, than aliens, and she was feeling out numbered. She held her arm out, and aimed her power at the jerk face who slapped her earlier. She watched the gun shoot out of this hand, and then went flying.
Michael could feel the energy building up, and with one good blast he sent 5 of the agents flying into the wall. The Crash Down was getting torn up.
Liz opened her eyelids slowly. She had a pounding headache, and she could feel something sticking in her leg. She looked down and saw a knife. She closed her eyes, and winced when she tugged it out.
She got a little woozy from the pain, but it quickly went away, and she noticed she was behind the counter. She heard a lot of loud crashing and screaming. She remembered being thrown behind the counter and figured that must have been when all hell broke loose.
She felt all this power flowing through her body, and she looked down at her hand. There was green current flowing through it, but it didn't hurt like it usually did, it felt like a lot of power. Power that she knew how to use.
