Fulfilling Destiny chapter 3: Who are They?
A/N: After this chapter and onwards, Roswell Max will be Maxwell, and Dark Angel Max will be Max, just to clear up any confusion.
A/N: In this VERY AU Story, there are many different timelines. The one that Oz and Vi are from is different from the normal Buffy one. In this world, Oz came back shortly before the battle with the first to lend assistance, and shortly afterwards started a relationship with the fiery Vi MacKenzie.
The Universe that the Transgenics are from is more or less the same, but occurs a few years after the show's finale.
In regards to Angel, Angel, Spike, Gunn and Illyria are taken just as they are about to engage the hordes of the senior partners. So not much is different there. Wesley and Lindsey are still dead and Lorne left.
I don't watch a lot of Mutant X, but I love the characters and I'll try to stay as true to the show as I can. Adam, Emma, Brennan, Shalimar and Jesse are teleported away just as the building they're in is about to explode. (See Season 2 Finale.)
Finally in regards to my show, Darkstar, the gang is teleported just after their final battle with Agent Roarke. (I was trying to pay homage to Sin City, the best comic in the world. I did the same thing in the fourth chapter of my other story on this site, Sunnydale's Angels, when Syl refers to her .45 as 'Dwight') Anyways, they will all be in character. Also I accidentally put down Hunter Powell to appear in the story, but He won't be in it. Sorry about that.
I also need to add a couple of characters to the guide, and I'll do it at the end of the chapter.
Little Bit of Roswell Backstory for my universe: Maxwell knows about Future Max. Tess and Max did date for a few weeks, but decided that they would be better off as friends. Tess told Max about Nasedo's deception and soon after she was finally accepted by whole gang, including Maria and Liz. Shortly afterwards, Max saved Alex from a horrific car accident. Halfway through their senior year, Liz's DNA started changing from human, into that of an Antarian, and she began to exhibit powers. Shortly afterwards, Kyle started to change as well. Alex followed suit just a few days before they graduated from High School.
Previously
Max and the others shared a glance as the view screen reverted to it's previous state of being a window. After a few minutes, two Antarian diplomat cruisers approached them, and the view screen came back up. A blond man came into view and addressed Max and the others.
"King Zan, I presume?" The Antarian pilot inquired.
"That is correct, captain….?" Max replied.
"Captain Galen of the Redemption." The captain replied, "I'm here to lead you back into the port, then you will be brought to the palace, your new home."
In this Chapter: Max and the others arrive at the palace. While attempting to teleport the heroes of the Antarian war against Kivar to the palace for a celebration, the Antarian High Mystic, Koerl, makes a mistake of multidimensional proportions..
ON WITH THE STORY….
General Vox led Max and the others into the great hall of the palace. It was beautiful and magnificently ornate with ivory statues and gold and jewels embedded in the pillars holding up the ceiling. Maria, Liz and Tess stared up at the ceiling, which had a artistic touch to it to rival the Sistine Chapel. A group of five Antarians dressed in fancy robes came rushing over to greet the twelve arrivals.
"Welcome back!" The elderly leader of the five said jovially. "I am Koerl, one of your senior advisors, and High Mystic of Antar. I was responsible for duplicating your essences all those years ago." He pauses and indicates to the other four. "These are my students. All of them are mystics, and powerful. We are at your disposal should you need us."
Max looked at him for a moment taking it all in, then nodded in approval. "What news regarding Nicolas?" Max asks, turning to General Vox.
"He's been in hiding somewhere on the outer limits of Allied Space. We will find him, but with Kivar dead, he poses little threat. Now is a time for celebration. Our King has returned at long last!" Vox replies, with a grin on his face. He then motions over to a group of four women, who are standing off to the side. They come over and Vox introduces them to the group of twelve.
"This is Hally, she will be the Handmaiden to Lord Rath's chosen." He says indicating the young blonde Antarian woman, who promptly bowed, then took Maria by the hand, and led her away. Maria allowed herself to be pulled off by the woman, throwing a look over her shoulder, before she turned a corner and disappeared from view. Vox then turned to the second of the four, a Antarian woman with red hair.
"This is Sarin, She will be handmaiden to our Lady Tess and Lady Ava." Sarin nodded to Rox and led Ava and Tess away from the group, heading in the same way that Cally had taken Maria. Rox looked at the brunette next.
"This is Kym, She will be handmaiden to Princess Isabel." Isabel was led off to get ready for the upcoming festivities next. Finally, Vox turned to the girl with jet black hair and big green eyes.
"This is Serena. She will be handmaiden to the King's bride to be." Vox says and Serena gives Liz a bow.
"It is a great honor to be of service to the future Queen." Serena says.
"Your name is Serena? Oh no…." Liz gasps. "It's happening. What future Max said. It's happening."
Serena looks taken aback. She glances at Vox, then at Max and Michael She then looks back at Liz "Milady, If it displeases you that I have been selected to be your handmaiden, I'm sure Vox can get someone else." Serena tells her sadly.
"What, no. It's nothing like that." Liz assures her. About a year and a half ago, I was visited by Future Max, who helped us to avoid a potential apocalypse. Before he left, he told me that I would be friends with someone called Serena. I never thought that he meant we would go to Antar."
"Actually, If Zan and the others hadn't found the Granolith by the their twentieth spring, We were going to send a convoy to collect them. We've been keeping tabs on them for the last ten years." Vox tells them. "Serena would have gone with them."
"Oh." Liz says, letting it sink in as Serena leads her away. Brody looks over at Vox.
"You have a way of getting to Earth?" Brody asks, and Vox nods. "I adore your world, but I think that it is a little much for me. If I could get a ride on the next transport back, I would greatly appreciate it."
Vox looks at Max, who nods. "He has a daughter back on Earth, She'll be missing him."
"Very well, but the next transport isn't until after the celebrations. The Princess Isabel has requested the presense of her Earth parents at the Royal Weddings and the Recorination of our King, as has Lady Tess, and the transport has just left to go collect them. It won't be back for about a week or so. It will be heading out again after the festivities with anyone who wants to return to Earth." Vox tells them. He then turns to Kyle, Alex, Sean, Brody and Courtney, and waves an attendant over. "Take these five and find them some suitable accommodations for the present, I must discuss some things in private with the king and the warlord, and then the three of us need to welcome the war heroes to the capital.." Vox announces and the palace worker leads the five of them away to find them rooms elsewhere in the palace.
Palace Front Courtyard- Simultaniously
"We are in talks with several heads of your planet Earth in an attempt to form an alliance with them.
I believe that we will come to terms within the next fortnight." Vox told Max and Michael as they walked.
"What about the special unit?" Michael warned. "Nasedo planned to kill us, what if he lied about destroying all the evidence?"
"We have made sure that no danger will come to any of us. We have our best telepaths and mindwarpers working on this, quelling any hazardous or threatening situations that arise." Vox assured them and both Max and Michael nodded. The three of them spotted Koerl, and started to make their way over. Koerl notices them when they are a few feet away and grins.
"We're ready to transport the war heroes here, the ceremony will only take a few moments and then you can welcome the soldiers who have been fighting the war for the last fifteen years, and who were immensely helpful in our victorious efforts. Koerl said and turned away from the three. He began to chant an ancient language that neither Max nor Michael nor Vox could even understand. A couple moments later, a vortex appeared about ten feet off of the ground, swirling many different colors. Max and Michael watched in fascination as the vortex began to grow and spark with electrical energy. All of a sudden a large group of people were hurled out of the vortex and landed roughly on the ground below. Koerl looked at the newcomers in stupefied horror.
"Oh no." Koerl gasped
"What?" Vox demanded. "What did you do wrong?"
"Nothing, the spell worked. I've summoned war heroes. Thirty-seven of them, all powerful. It's just that none of them are from Antar. Or this Dimension.
Moments Before…
Earth- Dimension 376525- Seattle, Washington
Crash Bar and Billiards
Max Guevara walked up to a table carrying two pitchers of beer. She reached the table, and was greeted by he brother Krit, Syl, her best friend Jondy, and Alec. She set down the beer on the table, and sat down next to Alec, who slung an arm over her shoulder, and she leaned into his embrace. It had been about a month since the five of them had lead the final attack against the Familiars and averted the apocalypse. Max thought of all the people who had given their lives in the war. Zane… Cora… Logan… CeCe…. Biggs…. Sketchy…. Cindy…. Even Normal had come out alright in the end, taking a bullet for Jondy. So deep in thought, and the other four so deep in conversation, they didn't notice the silent portal forming over them, and barely had time to cry out in shock as they were sucked into it.
Earth- Dimension 673623- New Orleans, Louisiana
Mardi Gras Celebration
Daniel Osbourne and Vi Mackenzie stood on the balcony of their second floor apartment, compliments of Rupert Giles and the newly reformed Watchers Council's funds. They had a bucket of plastic pearl necklaces and were tossing handfuls out into the throngs of people in the streets. The noise was so loud that they didn't see the vortex forming behind them. Vi turned around to get some more beads and saw it. She grabbed Oz by the shirt and pointed it out. The two of them went for the door but get sucked back and into it by a sudden burst of strong wind. The portal closes behind them.
Earth- Dimension 927348- New York
DSA Headquarters
A battle worn Cole Perkins led the way into the building, followed by Lynn Kingsley, Kurt Zahn, Derek Riverstone, Tyler Bender, Griff Balsom, Andrea Portman, Brendon Douglass, Jamie Sullivan, Colin Horante, Lauren Davies, and Kaitlyn Frost. They were greeted by the other members of the team who had stayed behind due to the sickness that had ailed them, Erika Cleghorn, embraced Cole, Allison hugged her sister Andrea, and Tyler and Nikki Vaughn shared a kiss, while Breanna Rollins, Josh Bender, Trish Neal, Michelle Drake, Andrew Osbourne, and August Unvey looked on. None of the twenty had any warning as the same black vortex descended on them.
Earth- Dimension 762898- Los Angeles
Alley, north of the Hyperion Hotel
Spike, Angel, and a mortally wounded Charles Gunn stood facing the oncoming hordes of the Senior Partners.
"Any word on Wes?" Gunn asks.
Illyria jumps down from the fence, and lands gracefully next to the three warriors.
"Wesley's dead." Spike, Angel and Gunn look sad, Illyria continues talking. "I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence."
"Well, wishes just seem to be horses today." Spike gibes.
"Among other things." Angel replies darkly. The four of them walk out of the shadows as the hordes come into view.
"Okay, you take the 30,000 on the left…" Gunn starts, Illyria cocks her head at him.
"You're fading, you'll last ten minutes at best." She comments.
"Then let's make em memorable." Gunn says and steps forward.
Spike looks upward at the sound of a roar from a dragon that has just flown into view. The black portal has appeared over them.
"Uh, guys… What the hell is that?" He manages to get out before the four of them are sucked upward in to the void.
Earth- Dimension 182736- Chicago
Old Warehouse/Factory
A huge explosion rocks the building as Emma, Shal, Brennan, Jesse and Adam run like hell for their lives. They are just in reach of the exit when another explosion causes the hallway to collapse in front of them. They can hear the supports above them cracking from the strain.
"We need to go back!" Shalimar yells and leads the way back. The five of them don't get twenty feet when a portal appears infront of them blocking off the rest of the hall. They hung back for a moment but a third explosion just behind them threw them forward into the unknown.
Antar- Palace Courtyard
Max and Michael stared at the group of people who had just literally fallen out of thin air on his doorstep. "Then who are they?" He voiced the question that was on the minds of Michael, Koerl, Vox and himself.
