Chapter Thirteen: The Truth:

February 14, 2002 Unknown Location:

It was cold, so cold but a safe place to meet and talk. It was all lies, all of it the colonization was real, but not from the aliens. The syndicate was creating a super human race from DNA from the Roswell crash. The reason? To create an over race to rule over earth and the universe. Fox Mulder now knew the truth and there were precious few years left to go to stop things. Which begged the question, why? Why would the aliens want to help after what had been done? Why would they help after those sent to destroy the purity were killed and their bodies used for horrible things? Mulder had thought he knew the truth but this? This was far worse than anything he ever could have wanted to know, he thought the aliens were the bad guys, but the humans were. He turned to the aliens who were in the chamber with him tears in his eyes.

"I am sorry." Mulder said, "so very sorry, I want to help."

"You are, things will get worse before they get better." One of the aliens said, "your world will get darker before better, now you know many know."

"We cannot leave you this way, we should have been careful." Another said, "if we had been this would not have happened."

"Don't blame yourself, just don't. We betrayed you, your gift was turned to such evil and I believed you the bad guys for years. All my life, and you trusted me to show me the truth."

"We are sorry for the torture done to you and others. It was not right."

"What do you need me to do?" Mulder asked.

"Help us continue to reign in the syndicate." One said, "they are a danger not only here but out in the universe."

"You want me to do what I have been doing?" Mulder asked.

"Yes, you need to go to Mount Weather."

"Okay, I can do that, why? I know what is going on now."

"The syndicate believes there is a real colonization from space, we set things up so they would believe that."

"Why?" Mulder asked, "what good would that do."

"If I may answer that, our dear alien friends here are afraid of you and us." Fred Weasley, his hair now back to red said. "Can't blame them really, after all with our limited technology we did manage to create the Jeremiah Smiths and clones, what else could they do?"

Mulder had never seen Fred before, and most who knew Fred would not believe what he was doing. Fred had done so much in the war and had nearly died, in fact he was crushed and it had been believed he was dead, but a magical field hospital had put him back together and he was now fighting evil wherever it was. What was terrifying was the fact that many death eaters were more loyal to power than to keep two worlds safe. Those that had escaped had managed to find the syndicate and joined with them. But now they were required to help "save" the human race from the aliens. This kept them busy and allowed more time for the aliens to get the vaccine to all humans and to allow the humans on the side of freedom and good the time they needed to finish off the syndicate.

"So the faceless rebels are you?" Mulder asked.

"No, they were working without our permission, that was not suppose to happen, they have been punished for what they did. Those people they murdered were innocents that did not need to die." One of the aliens replied.

"They are not faceless, not really, it would not make since, they are like me." Fred said, "magical, or in science terms able to move things either consciously or subconsciously in the quantum realm though sub-particulate energies. They are also able to shape-shift if you will into other humanoid forms. I can change my hair, eye and skin color but that is it."

"So I am to be a red herring then, I can do that, after what my family did." Mulder said, "why did you allow the bounty hunters to torture me?"

"We were angry at your family." The reply came, "and had to know what you knew."

"Which was not much." Mulder said, "I am not my father or uncle or sister, I wish she had died, to know she is Covarrubias and evil as everyone else, I can see why you did what you did."

"You are willing, you could die from this."

"I know, but at least I will be doing something to atone for the evil my family has done and been part of." Mulder replied.

"Your father tried to change at the end." Fred said, "there is that then."

"Yea, I want to be able to see my son." Mulder said.

"That can be arranged, but not until after, if you survive, we cannot promise you will."

"Fine, then let's start this." Mulder replied.

If everything went well he would be with Scully, she would not be on the run and would be able to quit the FBI. There would be no way to trace her to him and he was grateful for that. His son would be safe and would learn the truth of everything, he would be taught from a young age and he would have the tools needed to stop this great evil. Things were going to get darker for a time, there was nothing for it but the human race would survive even if it took another world war, and it would. But for now they were staving that off as much as possible.

May 2002: Mount Weather Military Base:

This was it, the day that would change everything. To throw the track of the remaining syndicate off the trail of what was really going on Mulder had to do this. Which was why now he had been captured right after he had "killed" Rohrer. He had not enjoyed the interrogation but had confessed after the very angry Marines had roughed him up a bit. He was going to anyway but had to make it look like they broke him. Which they had not. The trial was a farce, he was not in the Marines, was a civilian and was basically being treated like the enemy he was not. Those trying him knew that Rohrer was alive too. Still in the end he escaped and headed to the desert. Here he saw what he thought was cancer man taunting him with the fact the world was doomed.

It was doomed, but not in the way that the smoking man thought. Doomed if humanity did not change their hearts and come away from war and hatred. The war that was being fought was not going to end any time soon. It would go on for years, America would end up in it but in a way that most Americans could deny it was happening. Only at the end would others realize what had happened and hopefully want to turn the tied back to where it needed to be turned. For now he was going to go undercover and continue the fight there, what other choice did he have? At least he could see William and somewhat watch him grow up, Scully too could see him even if she could not be with him.

Scully would be free and clear but no longer an FBI agent, she would take a job as a doctor at the Our Lady of Sorrows, doing reconstructive surgeries on children born with birth defects. She was also helping get the vaccine out to everyone, the last stages had been sent to the third world and there the syndicate hope for world domination would die with them. She would have a very good life, working doing something to help others, using her hands to do God's work in tending to babies who with out the surgeries would have no hope. Mulder would continue to do his work deep undercover and under the blessing of two presidents who disliked syndicate organizations that thought it was fun to take over the world. The tide had turned and things were finally looking up for humanity even though the road to get there was one long hard march forward to get there.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

So not sorry for twisting canon to where I wanted to. Could aliens from outer space really fear us? Possibly? Are they telling the truth? Possibly, what better way to secure their own safety than doing the thing the syndicate is really doing? We think of technologically advanced people as somehow more powerful than us, but this is not true. Time and again less technologically advanced people have got the upper hand for a time, the Zulu, the Chinese did too, Vietnam all good reminders that might does not equal win. So the aliens doing what they are doing is a great way to buy time and figure out just what their next move will be. No they will not blow up the earth, they could but are not that kind of people, leave that to humans to do something like that. J

Anyway review please!
