They reach the Pod Chamber, and Max gets more violent Flashes

His knees shook, under the stress, and he fell to the ground. Tess was frantic, she hadn't touched him, it wasn't her. "Max, please let me in." Tess wimpered touched Max's forehead. He was no longer awake. Tess begged her love to let her in.

Isabel sobbed on Michael, while he stood tall, dark and brooding. Tess took a deep breath and after much effort Max was able to let he in.

In Max's mind

Tess stood in a place with no walls, no boundaries, everything was white. "Max!" Tess called. Her voice echoed. "He's asleep!" A familar voice answered. It echoes, Tess could feel Max. "Who are you!" Tess cried. The voice laughed. "The thing to which you destroyed everything. Your tool in getting Max. I don't no how or why you wanted to take him from me but you can not succeed!" It shrieked.

Tess shook in disagreement. "I can't take what is already mine! You people! You don't understand, not at all! This bond we share, can't be taken away, not by anything!" Tess cried. Her tears reached no end, and her cries were left unseen.

A dark pressence took form, and began to walk towards Tess, who started to back up. The form to shape into that of a familar one. It was Liz. "Liz?" Tess asked softly. Unshure if it was just an imaginary player in Max's head. "Yes." It said. "How did I get here, what is this place?" She asked. Suddenly it all became clear to Tess, she knew who, how, and why this was all happening. "Liz, your getting powers. You've been sending Max deadly flashes, you have to try and stop!" Tess said, her voice quivered. "Powers, no!" Liz crossed her arms. Tess rolled her eyes. "Look, princess, this isn't time to get all huffy, Max's life is in your hands, now do it!" Tess demanded.

Liz was shocked, and amazed at Tess' sturness in this matter. "How, what did I do to get here?" Liz asked. Tess walked up to Liz and touched the temples on either side of her head. Tess was able to get in, imediatly. "Holy crap!" Tess looked around in awe. Liz's mind was so messed up. One area was just a rerun of everythig that happened when Max healed her. It played over and over. "Liz, what is all of this?" Tess asked, her voice sympathetic. "I guess this is what I think about..." Liz looked around. Tess saw numbers being calculated and theries being thought. "Liz, these numbers, this theory, could it work?" Tess asked. Liz noddd. "Yeah, I guess." Liz shrugged. "But this would mean you had away for us to get home, all this time..." Tess touched Liz and she pulled away. "It only carries one!" Liz snapped. "Oh, you meant it for me, didn't you?" Tess came to a realization.

"I'm sorry for what Max did to you, keeping you from heaven. It was fate, and destiny that got you shot, and I'm sorry he took that away." Tess said sadly. "He din't he made me more alive than I've ever been... and one more thing." Liz smiled evily. Tess looked confused. "I have a really good handle on my powers!" Liz reached up in to the air, and Tess rose off the gound. Liz motioned to throw Tess and Tess flew across the room, landing on her side. "Once you come in, you don't come out!" Liz laughed.

In Liz's bedroom

She tossed and turned. Screamed for it to stop. She was in pain, and not in control. "No! Please, don't, stop!" Liz cried. Her face was wet with sweat and her mucles were tightened and tense.

In her head

Tess fought back, and broke free. Max began to cough and woke up. "Thank God!" Tess hugged him. "We have to help Liz." Max said, gasping for air.

They reached Liz's room

They had sped the whole way. "Okay, quiet i don't want her aprents hearing us." Max warned them. Tess was holding his hand as they tipped toed into her room. She was still fighing. "Whats happeneing to her?" Isabel asked. Max sat down beside her and tounched her hand. "Her human brain can't handle the powers it's resieving. Everythig she thinks is being turned into an action." Max explained. "Tess, can you take them away, or lock her powers up, or something?" Max asked. tess nodded. "I'll try." Tess touched Liz, nd began to bite her lip, trying not to scream in pain. Tess was pushed off, and Max caught her. "It's too cluttered, I can't get in." Tess heaved. Max sighed. "okay, let me try." Max touched Liz's head and connected. Flashes of them together, or her with Kyle when the driufter apart. Maxlet go, and smiled. "There." He said.

Tess looked worried. "Max, what did you see.?" She asked. "It was beautiful." Max explained. "We need to go, for good. We've intrupted the human race enough..." Max said,s erious. Liz bgean to wake before anyone could say anything. "Max!" Liz at up and hugged him. "Thank you Max..." The whispering into his ear. "Max Evans is my soulmate... not Zan" Liz smiled. Max pulled away looking at her shocked. He hugged her, and whispered. "Zan is leaving." Liz began to cry. "I'm sorry." Max said, not trying to make her cry. Michael's eye's widened. "Not you, look!" Michael gasped. Max juped off the bed. Liz began to shake holding her head. "Ah!" She screamed. A bright light appeared, the others looked away. When hey looked back, Liz was lying on the bed, her eys closed... she was dead. Max began to cry. "Get out!" He snapped. tess went to touch him, decoded not to. 'He needs to be alone.' The others left, not knowing what to think.

Max scooped Liz up, and tried to heal her, nothing happemed not even a small little light appeared. "I'm Sorry Liz. Max is leaving too." He cried putting her down, and placing the blankets on her.

Max stepped out, and grabbed Tess' hand. They left.

Later

Tess took Max to a place where she knew he could seee thier home. Looking through the telscope, Tess explained where their home was. "It feels more real now." Tess said. "It still feels like some strange dream to me." Max explained. tess smiled, letting him have a trun on the telescope. "Wow..." Max gapsed at the stars. Letting go and looking over at Tess. He let go and moved to her. Taking both hands into his and sittnger down. Cupping her cheek with his hands. "Max..." tess began. "sh..." he soothed. Tess looked into his eyes, as he bent into her and bgean to kiss her deeply. "I'm ready to wake up." Max said, smiling lightly. Tess kissed him. They began to make love. The passion spilled forth from their bodies melting into each other. Their hearts beat as one, and the skin lit up, a surge of electricty ripped through their bodies. It was the essence of love.
