Hey readers, thank you for your critiques, but I wish to have more reviews and readers. So tell your Kyle XY/Twilight fans. But tell them they have to read the first two stories to understand the third. R and R! Thanks!

Final Stretch Part II

Adam said,

"Do what you can Kyle. You don't have to save us. You might lose your memory."

I nodded.

"Like Kyle and Jessi out of the pod," I added suddenly, "but I'll risk it for you all."
After one of Ryan's men escorted me out of the CIR room, they led me and Adam to our own individual "private" rooms.

He said,

"Ryans wants you to wear this black dress tomorrow."

"Why?"

"I just follow orders. It pays well, so I can pay my rent and bills workin' for him."

As evening came on, I passed out. After I woke up hours later, I spoke to Kyle.

Kyle.

What is wrong? Where are you?

A stronger version of the CIR tomorrow. If I do not do that chair, you will all suffer. Help me stop Brian Taylor's younger brother.

Why must you suffer for all of us?

If he gets me exposed, so be it.

Then, I noticed my Latnok ring. It began to shine brighter than ever. I put it on my neck with a cord.

One of them men the next morning brought me a plain breakfast and said,

"You best eat. Or Ryans will knock you out."

"Where's the convention going to be?" I asked casually.

"The main convention hall at seven p.m."

"Okay, all right, then."

Bella, tell Edward and Carlisle to go in the convention hall. Hide in the crowd.

After many hours locked in the room, I changed into the black dress. I was guessing this occasion was suits and black skirts and dresses.

Finally, it was time.

"It's time for the convention, Kayla XX," the man said.

They held me in. Adam told me,

"I'll just be interviewed, but you'll fight for everyone. And that's nobler."

The night loomed closer.

I thought,

Time to begin.

The program began with an announcer saying,

"Introducing the Madacorp heads...."

"And finally our head man, Ryans Johnson-Taylor."

"I will be talking to you all through this very special Madacorp convention."
How vain can this man be? He was a lot like his brother in many ways. Power-stricken. He has the ability to make people believe everything he is saying. People-speaking. Vengeful. Disrespectful.

"You shall see a special display at the end. Now we are going to talk about pod-children. As you know, two were created at the Zzyzx complex eighteen years ago. A male and a female-XY, 781227 and XX, 781228."
Kyle and Jessi, I thought.

"And the Latnok society-a few months later somehow retrieved the DNA of theirs and created a third. The only one by Latnok-781229. A female-XX."
Me. Kayla. Kayla Trager. Kayla XX. Latnok protector.

"Here's the man that started it all, Adam Baylin."

There was a light applause-scattered.

"You've brought on the concept of pod children. This all started by expanding mental capacity. It was a noble idea to prevent from surrogate mothers to die, so you designed a special pod for the child to develop in."

"Your company and Zzyzx wanted to destroy Kyle or 781227, as you call him. He's my clone and once I left, later on, you tried to kill both of us."
Ryans said,

"I did not order that at the time. I was just on the board and I was not the leader. When Latnok split away from us, they had stole a piece of pod-children."

"Brian Taylor created the second pod-child, Jessi. She learned with Kyle help not to trust you all."

"But what you didn't know, until over a year ago, that Kayla XX was created."
"She is stronger physically and mentally than Kyle or Jessi, Ryans, but she was released by Latnok at five years to escape the FBI." Adam said.

Ryans remarked,

"And destroyed the Cerebral Impulse Relay in Seattle or CIR. A powerful being indeed. But she's a killer. She killed my brother and now I'm going to break her!"

The CIR 2.0 was brought out.

"And now, my fellow colleagues, the CIR 2.0!"

A loud applause. Roaring. Loud.

Jessi, Kyle, where are you?
In the crowd, Kayla. Go along.

Head to the back way Bella. Tell the others, too. We have little time.

Okay. I'll tell them.

"Next is the person or pod child created by Latnok-Kayla XX!" Ryans announced.

The men tried to drag me out, but I pushed them away.

"I can get out there on my own."

I trotted towards Ryans. I knew what I had to do.

"Ryans, you're a liar."

I grabbed him the way I grabbed those men during those long weeks. I looked him straight in the eye.

"I'm not a killer. I killed Brian Taylor because he tried to kill me. He almost destroyed Jessi."

Then, I threw him aside.

A collective gasp fell over the crowd.

"She's smart."

"She's strong."

"She's amazing."

"Oh, shut up all of you. My brother thought he had what it takes to handle a pod child."

"You don't, either."

"We'll see about that Kayla XX. Men, prepare her."

I thought,

For Kyle. For Jessi. For Adam. Latnok.

Now Kyle, Jessi. Quickly backstage. Go! Go! Quick!

They sat me down in the CIR 2.0. Next came the "relaxation" shot. I took a deep breath, but still did not relax.

Ryans told me,

"You're trapped, Kayla XX. Do you have anything to say before you lose everything? For I have exposed you for what you are."

"I'm not going to lose everything. I will live through this...."

"You won't. It'll take a miracle to survive. How does it feel to be Latnok's failure?"

"I'm not."

"You will be. You are not who you say you are. Not normal when that's all I needed to see. And now to prove it, I shall show you the icing on the cake as a pod child."

He pulled up my shirt and showed my bare stomach.

I thought,

I never liked that. I have to tell Kyle and Bella to meet up with each other.

"So, it's true," a few people said.

I heard several "oh my gods" in the building.

Kyle, there are a few people I have met. They know about us. A man-an adult and two teens-seventeen and eighteen years of age. The teenagers are named Bella and Edward. You will see them.

Normal POV

Kyle said,

"We're looking for someone. Kayla thought it to me."

Kyle began to search.

"Wait here, Jessi."

"Okay. Fine."

Kyle searched quietly around backstage and then he saw someone walking up the stairs.

Two teens.

Kyle asked,

"Are you Bella and Edward?"

"How do you know that?"

"I'm Kyle-the male pod child and Kayla's 'brother.' That's Jessi, her 'sister,' the first female. But Kayla has informed me you know-even without Ryans Taylor's stupid speech."

Jessi remarked,

"Who does Ryans Taylor think she is?"

Bella told her,

"It's okay. I understand. Kayla can speak to me in thought, too."

"How?"

"I don't know how."

Just then, Carlisle joined the.

"This is my foster 'father', Carlisle or Dr. Carlisle Cullen."

"Edward, thank you."
"Has she told you all what we are?"

"No, however they know what we are and you know what that is," Jessi said.

"How is she saying that?" Kyle asked.

"Bella said,

"She's very much right about us. She's is different and so are we.....we are....vampires...And we'll tell you more. As time goes on."

"Okay. We understand."

-

"Now the moment of truth! The CIR 2.0's first test. I shall start it."

He pushed the button and it started. AT first, I tried to control it with my mental control.

Mind, body, soul

Concentration, endurance, speed, strength, trust.

Adam yelled out onstage,

"Kayla, you have what you need. Fight it!"

I suddenly felt mental strain. As ten minutes went on, I felt the machine get stronger and stronger.

Now, Kyle, Jessi.

Join in spirit. Go!

Bella. Edward.

Go!

Five minutes passed.

I felt like I was in a bus falling over, flipping. Hungover. Beaten to the ground. I was feeling the side effects of the machine.

Kayla, you can do it. Know what you are. You may be a pod-child, but you have it. You have to capacity to do anything.

Who was that?

That voice....Sarah....Adam.....Kyle...Jessi.....Nicole....Bella....Edward....?
Who?

Free your spirit. Let it go.

One of Ryan's men said,

"She's going into a stroke. If you don't shut it off, she'll die."

"I don't care," he said, "Make it stronger."

Adam told Carlisle as he was sent backstage,

"Kyle went into cardiac arrest when he was in the first CIR. He wasn't ready for it, but Kyle and Jessi connected to each other and won."

"Strokes lead to comas," He replied.

"She's not going to make it," Adam replied sadly.

Kayla POV

I fought every second and then my ring started to glow-a beam of light came out. This could help me....that was it.....I moved it in....and it became stronger.

Mental capacity.

I heard Kyle's voice.
"We'll help you."

When I brought the ring closer the main system, I felt myself grow weaker.

Run....everyone...it's going to explode....I might die.

Then, I moved out of the chair, and I felt some freedom, but I could not move. The machine had sucked much of energy and strength.

The CIR 2.0 gave its warning.

"System will explode in ten seconds."

I began crawling on my knees.

I yelled,

Go!

"Five, four, three, two, one....!"

And then.....The EXPLOSION.
