Max kneeled before Liz. He was struggling to control his actions. "L-Liz, this body, it isn't me. You have to kill it." He said. Liz cried, shaking her head. "No, Max." She whimpered. "Liz!" Max snapped. "Kill him before he kills you!" Max ordered. Liz nodded. "I love you Max." Liz said, tearfully. She picked up a golf club, brining it above her head.
Max through wet tears looked up at her, mouthing I love you. Liz wailed as she went to strike him over the back of the head. But before she could, he lunged at her. "Max!" Liz screamed. But it was no longer Max, it was the person Max was trapped inside.
The man strangled Liz, choking the air out of her. He pushed her, but the green alien energy surging at her fingertips caused a feedback onto the man's face. He flew back. Liz wrapped her arms around him. Tossing both him and herself out of the window.
Then as the man and Liz fell. Liz got flashes of Zan, a time that she was supposed to know nothing about. Max got flashes of Liz, then something strange happened to her face in his mind. It formed itself into Tess. Tess disappeared, her essence had gone into Liz. Max shook his head. 'This can't be!' he thought. 'Had Tess been a dream?' He questioned. 'Had his queen's energy been transferred into this poor human girl?'. Then all of life's questions had answers. He realized that Tess wasn't his queen, and Liz wasn't either. That Ava's essence had been taken from Tess and put into Liz, that Liz herself had died that day in the CD.
Realizing his queen would die if he didn't do something, Max screamed. "Ava!" He put his hand out, creating a shield under Liz's body. She landed safely into the shield, and watched in horror as Max hit the ground with a thud. His shield dissipated, and she too fell the last few feet.
Slowly, and painfully she rose to her feet. "Max..." She groaned, in pain. She looked to him. He was laying on his stomach, seemingly dead. "No." She gasped, turning his body over. His eyes still open, she closed them with her palm. She shut her eyes tightly. Tears falling off her chin. "I love you, Zan." She muttered. "My King." She said, as she laid a kiss upon his lips.
Hoping some miracle would bring him back. Nothing happened. Not even her love could bring him back from the dead. She sobbed, realizing he was truly gone this time. Maria came running out. "Liz! Oh God Liz!" Maria hugged her, then saw Max. "No..." She wailed. Liz hugged her friend. "It's okay..." She soothed. "I'm so sorry Liz." Maria said, hugging her. Liz took her friends hand. "I'm not Liz." She explained. Maria looked horrified. "What?" She asked, stunned. "My name is Ava. I have been trapped in this girls body for years. Never able to break free. Liz Parker died that day, in the CD." She explained. "Ava, but I thought Tess was-" Maria stopped. "No." She exclaimed as the truth dawned on her. "That's why you felt the connection, isn't it? The powers, all of it because some how Liz became Ava?" Maria questioned.
Liz nodded. "I'm sorry you lost your friend." She said, sweetly. "Then how was Tess alive?" Maria asked, not yet willing to believe that her friend has been dead for years. "Ava and Tess are different people. Just like Max and Zan are. We are connected through the body, not the spirit. Max, the human was destined to be in love with Liz. Zan whom Max hid inside was meant to be with me. When Max healed Liz, Zan's desire to have me, forced by energy into Liz because his mind and body had not been separated. Because Zan was never separated from Max, Zan died when the body died, understand?" Liz explained.
"Liz is dead?' Maria gagged. "I'm sorry." Liz said. "I can't believe I've been talking to a walking dead corpse of my fried for the past 3 years I just can't!" Maria protested. "I have all the memories of Liz, and until that moment where we were falling, Liz's essence had been in control. I need my body, Tess' body back. Liz's essence should remain here, alive." Ava assured. "I have to call Michael." She said, not knowing what else to do.
In Roswell
Isabel laid in bed, resting. She was sleeping Michael's bed, still looking sick from her ordeal. The phone rang.
"Hello?" Michael asked, picking up the phone. "Michael, Liz- I, Ava, Tess isn't, but Liz was and then-" Maria began. Michael rolled his eyes, taking the phone a good two inches from his ear. "Maria!" Michael said, yelling at her. "Yeah?" Maria sniffled. "Slow down, is Liz there?" He asked. "I don't know." She exclaimed. "Just put Liz on." Michael said. "Here." Michael heard Maria say to someone.
"Hello?" Another voice said. "Liz. What in hell is Maria telling me, cause she's making absolutely no sense!" He said frustrated. "It's okay. She's just a little, sacred. Michael, this isn't Liz." She began. "What?" Michael said. "It's Ava." She explained. "Ava? The dupe?" Michael questioned. "No. Queen Ava." She clarified. "How is that possible?" Michael questioned. "It just is. Listen to me, very carefully..." She began to tell him everything.
Isabel suddenly sat up. Breathing hard. "No!" She screamed. Michael dropped the phone, running into her. "What? What is it?" He asked, touching her face gently, handing her a glass of water. "N-nothing. Max, I felt him... he, I'm not sure, I think he's, dead." Isabel sobbed.
Then her head snapped forward, her eyes shut. The glass dropped to the floor. "Isabel?" But Michael's voice was drowned out by the sound of screaming. It was Liz as she and Max were falling out of the window. She witnessed what Liz saw. The visions of how she and Ava had been transfered together.
Isabel snapped back into reality. "Michael... Tess, I mean... Ava, she's in Liz." Isabel breathed. Michael sighed, touching her short brown stands of hair. Brushing them gently from her face. "I know. Here's what happened..." Michael began.
In Vermont
Maria was pacing. Freaking out. Liz was watching, with a strange smirk of her face. She followed her friend with her eyes. "Maria, Maria, Maria..." Liz sighed. "Liz, Ava, who ever! Don't start with me!" Maria snapped. Liz pointed her finger at Maria's face. "Tut-tut-tut." Liz smirked. "Whoa..." But before she could finish Liz was in front of her, facing her. So close she could feel Liz's hot breath, hitting her face. Maria whined, looking away, shutting her eyes tight. "You dumb little child. You actually believe that little fairy tale?" Liz smiled.
Maria opened her eyes. She turned questioningly at Liz, her eys in wonder. "You're not..." She asked. "Ava? No. But I'm not really Liz anymore. Liz died when that bullet passed through her. Something happened when Mac healed me. I-I lost something of me, that I never knew I had." She expressed. "What are you saying?" Maria asked. Liz just laughed. Hugging Maria. Maria relaxed, sighing on Liz's shoulder.
Liz smiled, smirking evilly over Maria's shoulder. "Shh." Liz said, touching the back of her neck. "Bye." Liz said. Maria stopped sobbing, and looked up at her. "Li-" But before she could finish. Liz had grabbed her neck, it made a cracking sound as Maria fell to the ground.
Back in Roswell
Isabel and Michael were still talking. "No." Isabel shook her head. "What do you mean, she told me herself." Michael protested slightly. "No. What I saw. It wasn't Liz, and Ava... it was more like. Liz had I don't know, had taken something from Tess. Like a copy, or something. She took it to... to?" Isabel stopped. "To make Max love her?" Michael finished, questioning himself. "Maybe, I'm not sure, but I also know that Max isn't dead. That's why Liz made him see the flashes. So he'd save her. Max thought he was saving Ava, not Liz." Isabel said. They had finally put it together.
They sat starring at each other, amazed that the puzzle piece's they had put together. "She took the copy of Ava, to get her memories and stuff?" Michael said, not wanting to believe it.

Maria lay lifelessly on the ground. "Max!" Liz cried over him. "Hmmm?" he moaned and groaned. "I thought I was dead." He said, painfully getting up. "I thought I'd lost you!" Liz had yet to put her stolen memories into action. Max looked up at her, excited. Remembering what he had seen just before the fall. "Ava!" Max hugged her. Liz sighed. "Yeah." She half heatedly laughed. "Oh God! I knew there was a reason that I saved her! Before she was just some crush! But god when I saved her, I thought I had lost my mind! I mean come on! Save a human, please! I would never have saved her, I mean it was Liz, the quiet girl, the one that you could look at but never touch, ya know?" Max had rambled on, making Liz's fragile mental state swirl into a deeper darkness.
"What? Just some girl?" Liz muttered under her breath. Max had still continued. "... and you know what? I always felt you near, every time I was with Liz, I felt you..." He bent in and kissed her. They kissed gently, Max was being so loving. Suddenly he pulled away. Looking horrified at Liz. "You lied to me. W-why would you do that to me?" Max asked, like a lost little boy. "I'm sorry." Liz used her crackling powers to push Max away. Giving her time enough to run away. He lost her. He looked to his side, seeing Maria. "Oh, God!" Max said, flipping her over. "What did she do to you...?" He moved her to his lap, and placed his hand under her head. A white light appeared under his skin, healing Maria. Her eyes fluttered open. "Max... Liz, she..." But she slipped back into a deep sleep.
Max saw her cell phone sticking out of her pocket. He used it to call Michael.
In Roswell
Michael and Isabel were packing a few things in a bag. They were getting ready to go after Liz. The phone rang. "I'll get it." Isabel said, tossing Michael the bag. "Hello." She answered. "Isabel." Michael said. "Liz has gone nuts. She tried to kill Maria. I'm coming, don't go anywhere." Max said. Isabel nodded, and answered, stunned. "Okay, ok. Max, I. Thank god your okay." She sighed. "And Iz?" Max began again. "Yeah?" She questioned. "Liz knows more about us than anyone we have ver fought. She knows our weakness', our plans. She knows everything. Don't go, anywhere."" Max warned again. Isabel nodded. "All right, be careful" She said hanging up.
In Roswell
Isabel sat on the couch, Michael at her side. "I-I'm so nervous." She muttered. "It'll be okay, Iz. It has to be." He soothed. Isabel nods.
The door flings open. Max his holding Maria in his arms, she's not awake yet. "H-help." Max grunts. Michael jumps up, clearing the sofa. "What happened?" Michael asked, worried like. Isabel gave him a quick look, hurt but understanding.
Max looked, breathless. "Liz happened. She killed her, but I healed her. I don't know if it helped though, I think I may have been too late." Max admitted. "No." Michael gasped touching Maria face. "I can't believe Liz of all people..." Isabel shook her head. "I know." Max sighed. "I told ya..." Michael snorted. "What? You did not!" Max protested. "Uh huh!" Michael nodded. Even Isabel didn't remember this. "When?" She asked, trying hard not to laugh.
"Back when Max first told Liz. I said she might go crazy and turn us in, or turn on us, and lookie what happened!" Michael crossed his arms, childish. "Oh Please." Isabel rolled her eyes.
"Hey now, that's not fair!" Michael snapped. "You said that the FBO would catch us, and dissect us, and they did to Max, so we were both right, so ha!" Michael nodded fiercely. "Yeah. Well..."
Suddenly Maria began to shake. She had been dead for about four minutes when Max healed her. Her brain had been dead, and all her organs. When he brought her back, it overloaded her system. She was going into shock. "Help her!" Michael snapped. "I-I can't! She die! She has to fight herself!" Max explain.
Her shaking got worse. It stopped briefly, while she opened her eyes, pulling Max to her face. "L-Liz- not Ava." She collapsed, dead. "No. No, no no no no no!" Michael blew up the table. Then the windows blew out. "I'm gonna kill Liz!" Michael was shaking with anger. Max grabbed him. "I know! But there is a time, and a place, lets get her home." Max sighed. Looking at Maria.
Even to her last breath, Maria had been on their side. Even when it meant going against her best friend, she had warned him. Even when she knew it would probably be in vain. "She was a hero." Max whispered, to Michael. Isabel hugged him, kissing his neck gently.
In Vermont
Liz was packing her bags, when her room-mate came in. "Hey, Lizzie, what ya doing?" She asked. "What the fuck does it look like?" Liz snapped. "Okay, whoa, go anger much? Jeez. Just thought you should know, i found this-" Liz snatched the piece of apper from her hands.
It Read:
Elizabeth Parker
I was sent to earth to find and destroy the royal four. I know what you are, and what you did. If I have to use that against you, I will. You will help me, and you will do it know.
-Nicolas
Liz crumpled the paper. "Did you see who gave this to me?" Liz asked, flatly. "Yeah, some short kid-" That was all Liz needed. She raced in front of her room-mate and grabbed her neck, snapping it like a twig.
Liz brushed off her hands and continued to pack. As she muttered to herself. "This is just beginning... wait until you see..."
