The door to the cave once again opened. Max yanked at the chains that bound him once again. These chains weren't made of medal from earth. They were stronger and Max's powers had no effect what so ever on them. He searched the doorway waiting for Kaviar to enter again. But it was just a dark opening.

"Come on, Kaviar. Come on and face me like a man." He shouted into the darkness. His eyes grew dim as he saw Tess enter. "Tess?"

"Shh…" She looked cautiously around the rock form room. "I'm here to help you." She hurried over to Max trying to free his hands.

"Our powers won't work on these." He told her.

Tess looked around for something to bash against the rock to free Max.

"There is a tire wrench in the back of my jeep." Max said. "Hurry."

She nodded and hurried out the door. Max leaned his head back against the rock. His mind wandering if Maria was alright. If she was awake and frightened. He would kill Kaviar if anything happened to her.

Tess entered once again with the wrench. She pried and pried until the chains came apart from the rock. Max stood to his feet and grabbed Tess by the arm. He pushed her against the wall away from the door. He didn't want Kaviar to walk past and see her.

"Do you know where they have Maria?" He whispered.

"In the pod chamber. I know heard him tell Keria that they would be leaving soon. There taking the space ship back to our planet. And there they will kill Maria for all the towns' people to see."

Max's brain went into over drive. He had to find away to keep them on earth. Away to stop that ship from taking the only thing that he loved. He swallowed hard at the lump in his throat as a tear swelled in his eyes.

Sorry so short. I will try to finish this story over the weekend. I am at work now and the patients keep coming in not leaving me much time to write. Thanks for all the reviews. Please keep them coming.
