Louis and the cat man in red and black started exchanging blows, not with their weapons but with their bare fists, he was flat on his back his knees had buckled under the pain, as one of the heresy tried to kill him, but the cat man… the stronger cat man that is took him out.

Fern was focusing her energy on the staff, she couldn't get it to work as she pointed the weapon at a heresy lord walking towards her, she was thinking 'ice' as she had thought that the gem turned a silver color and a bolt of ice appeared and it had froze the imposing enemy in his place. Moss walked towards it and he had done a solid roundhouse kick shattering the frozen heresy lord into a million pieces.

Fern soon ran off fear of death was getting to her.

As heresy lords were getting shot, with about ten left, came the Bennedittos'

They were all walking from the back of the black car with some Sub-machine guns in hand.

"Oh crap…" Buck commented as he shot one of the heresy lords. This was truly the first time he had noticed them.

"You are a dead man…" Tony yelled he turned to Sonny, Sal, and Giorgio "Help me take care of the cultists."

The Benneditto's shot the heresy lords dead, they had managed to shatter the beam that one of their enemies had in hand and the shards went into the eyes of the cultist, "Ahh!" he screamed as he was blinded by shards of crystal; the mysterious cat man had glided and slit his throat.

There was one left, the man in black and red glared at them, "Cyrax is mine!"

The Benneditto's took a weakened heresy lord and they quickly drove off to Teal County as they heard sirens.

"Muffy, go I don't want to see you die," Buck instructed, as the monkey girl ran home scared.

With one heresy lords remaining, the mysterious cat man slowed down time, he was moving at normal speed while everyone was slowed down, he had struck the invading mercenaries down as there were four, but Cyrax took notice and broke the spell.

Reno, Rex, and the mysterious cat man were fighting, Cyrax couldn't fight three on one, and Moss joined the fight. Soon after Muffy joined, the odds were too great, but Moss had managed to land a punch while blades were being entangled.

Moss had soon struck some mean blows to Cyrax, throwing lefts and rights, that within moments he had dropped his weapon as he was dazed standing there, "BROKEN HEART ATTACK!" Moss yelled as he arched back his arm for the finisher, he the black and yellow armored man as hard as he could and tore through his chest ripping out his heart, he put it in a paper bag, he had folded up the flaps Cyrax looked in horror as he took the paper bag shaking in fear, "Why…"

"You just got served…" Moss said as Cyrax fell flat on his back dead. He put the paper bag on the dead heresy lord's chest.

Rex and the cat man looked at a dazed Louis, and the mysterious cat man started to talk, "I am you a few months in the future, this is a warning to stay away from the heresy lords, I made it back to this time period to change your future, since the threat is gone, you will not be able to go with them; Rex and I will go to Shadonia to destroy the literature and scriptures of heresy so no one will ever train or learn the ways of them again."

Rex started criticizing, "If Dr. Who heard about this, he probably wouldn't be too happy..."

"Dr. Who won't know, if anything I nearly died of radiation poisoning but Cyrax trained me, I killed him six months later because everyone I knew was dead from the malfunctioning weapon, so I went back in time, prevented my past self from joining them, and I managed to defeat Cyrax..."

They had both walked down the street without saying anything else, never to be seen again, Louis got up, his eyes were glazed, a paramedic looked at him, "He seems fine."

"…No more heresy lords…" was all he said and he had added, "Where is Giorgio…"

The paramedic looked Buck all he said was, "I guess we will take him to the hospital…"

Everyone had went their separate ways, this was probably one of those eventful things that when a person goes through with someone they would never speak with them again. It was happening to Sue Ellen and Fern; they had never really spoken to each other since they returned to Earth.

Even with Max and D.W. they never spoke much after the theft of the moped.

The Benneditto's had kidnapped the last surviving heresy lord, they had cement shoes fitted for him, and Davenport had driven them to the nearest river to drop him in as they threw him off a bridge.

"Poor cultist," Tony stated, "This is the end of the vendetta, your leader is dead, your cult is destroyed…" Moments later the last heresy lord had drowned.

All Sal said was, "Shoot him, and make sure he is truly dead."

Soon Davenport and company started shooting into the water and soon blood appeared.

Davenport turned to Tony, "Why didn't you kidnap her?"

"Because, I want to focus at one task at a time, those cultists are more dangerous, we ended them, we are going to kidnap her in a few days, when she visits Buck then we will get our 60 cars and a million dollars!"

The next day Muffy had biked over to Bucks she had found the place locked, and a note attached to the door.

Dear Muffy: The wife and I have decided to move to Tennessee I am going to launch my singing career.

If you need me I am at my house packing. Will be there for a few more days.

Buck.

Muffy sighed sadly; she had always seen Buck with guitar in hand singing, 'Solitary Man' she had taken the note as a memento, and had rode her bike to Buck's

The next day at school Max had brought the box of chocolates, Mrs. Armstrong had smiled as he walked down the hallway towards Prunella, "These are for you."

Prunella was shocked, "For me?"

"I wasn't entirely honest with you; I have a crush on you…"

They had both hugged each other as there really wasn't much else to do, Mrs. Armstrong looked on all she said to herself was, "I am so proud of him."

They had both walked down the hallway chatting happily.

But there was one thing left… That evening when Max got home, he still had some feelings for Mrs. Armstrong, but who could blame him?

He went to his mother, "Mom, can we have Sue Ellen's family over for dinner tomorrow night?"

Mrs. Clarkson was curious, "Why?"

Max lied, "I just want to know more about them..."

Mrs. Clarkson fell for the lie and allowed it.

The next day after school Sue Ellen and her family were over at the Clarkson's, Max was wearing his Sundays best... which was quite dubious, the Clarkson's weren't expecting a world leader or anything, he looked at Mrs. Armstrong, "Can you tell me about yourself?'

"Well, I was born here, Mike was born in Crown City, Sue Ellen was born here, and I had told him that I wanted her to be born here because I wanted to be with our family when I went into labor."

Max was interested in the story, but he of course wasn't from Earth but still took the anthro form, but wasn't 'alien' either, "We were born on a planet called Tigris; it is a lush planet lots of jungles, gets hot at times... My ancestors came to Earth... probably in the Earth year 1880 they were Agnes and Theodore."

"I had an ancestor named Loretta from that time; according to the family tree she did marry someone named Theodore around… 1887. All I know is that he kind of looks…" Mrs. Armstrong was shocked she paused, her grandmother told her about Theodore, how he was a tiger man who always wore blue overalls Loretta had given birth to twins; one was to live with Agnes and the other with Theodore. This is what my Grandmother told me."

"Mom?" Sue Ellen said as she tugged on her mother's shirt.

Mrs. Armstrong looked at Max and his parents; she went face to face with him and said quietly, "You are related to me…"

Mrs. Clarkson was shocked, "Are you sure? I did have an ancestor named Loretta, and she looks almost like you. I been piecing it, because my grandmother told me that Agnes was told by Theodore to protect one of the twins since the in-laws didn't like the fact that he married Loretta; they shielded my ancestor from the truth, her name was Lucia, and her twins name was Amber, Agnes told Lucia when she was 18. But meeting Amber was next to impossible. I have question marks on my family tree under Amber because of it, they reunited but it was the only time they had seen each other, before Amber had kids of her own.

Mrs. Armstrong was thinking, "Amber was my great-great-grandmother, her father Theodore never really told her about Lucia. Then my grandmother, then my mother, then myself… So that means in a sense I am part Tigrisian?"

"You mean I am related to Max?" Sue Ellen asked in some shock not expecting it.

"DNA testing will probably be the best bet." Mr. Armstrong suggested.

The next day they had gone to the doctor's office, Sue Ellen wanted to know more of this, was it true that her ancestors from 1880 were not from Earth? That she was part Tigrisian?

When they got to the office the doctor took some DNA from Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Clarkson, "The test will conclude in three minutes."

Those three minutes were nail biters, within moments the tests were complete, "Ok, it seems that you both are related. You are distant relatives."

"I told them my ancestor twins, but they were both separated at birth."

Sue Ellen was shocked as she looked at Max, Mrs. Armstrong turned to Max, "Is this why you have been really affectionate to me?"

"Lucia returned to Tigris with Agnes," Mrs. Clarkson chimed in, "So I don't know what that makes us…"

"Distant cousins…" Mrs. Armstrong stated, "Don't know how distant, but according to the tests we are related."

Sue Ellen looked at her mother, "Was Buster right all along?"

"Well, yes and no, because Amber lived here with Theodore and Loretta, Lucia lived with Agnes and her husband who went back to Tigris, both kids wed someone from both planets, then those kids wed someone and so on until we get to you and Max."

"So it would mean that you are part Tigrisian? Despite you were born in Elwood City."

"Yea, you are part Tigrisian, as being related by blood, it is hard for you to understand, but remember Mr. Ratburn gave you good marks for your family tree, I know your great-grandmother didn't tell much about Lucia, her parents didn't say a word about them."

Buster's cruel words had stung her, was he right all along? However a small part of her was Tigrisian. It seemed unreal at the time. She just hoped that her mom wouldn't want the class to do a family tree assignment. Or it wouldn't look good.

Max smiled at her, "So I guess that means were cousins."

Sue Ellen rolled her eyes, "Oh brother…"
