"I'm not ready for this!" gasped Liz and her two best friends turned and glared at her. Alex was coming along as a 'human' protector and Maria was going to be her advisor. She would be classed as Queen since she had birthed the heir. Michael stood next to Maria and he reached down interlocking their fingers together, she gave him a brief smile as Larek pulled away from their little group and led the way up the cliff side towards the hidden ship.
"I... I'll see Max again won't I?" asked Liz when they reached the very top "I'll see him again and we'll be on Antar right?"
"Yes, I'll make sure Max and you are reunited" said Michael with a smile before ducking into the cave like entrance with Maria and Alex following him, Siri carefully climbed inside leaving Liz, Ethan and Larek alone
"I hope I'm doing the right thing... will I ever be able to see my parents again?" she asked and he shook his head
"I have no idea Lizparker" he answered her and she felt tears rise to her face then she smiled and looked down at the young child fast asleep in her arms "It's Liz. My friends call me Liz" she ducked into the cave and went in search of her friends and family that would be coming with her.

***

Kivar stood there fuming with anger, his anger had grown over the past few weeks while his wife had been away, Vilandra stood with him waiting for the return of her fiance who was more like a brother than a lover and the return of the heir to Antar. They could see the ship finally coming into their airspace and landing on the large metal square platform. Several guards moved to stand on either side of the blue carpet lined walkway. Larek appeared first, followed by Siri and the still unborn baby, then Rath and Maria then finally Liz, Ethan and Alex. They walked down the carpet towards the welcome party. Siri watched her husband from a distance, she held herself back from running to be with him once more; but as she reached her husband she saw a malicious glint in his eye. He stood tall then turned to the guards
"Arrest them!" he ordered and Siri's eyes went wide with disbelief! Kivar snatched Ethan out of Liz's arms and guards grabbed her
"Kivar what are you doing!" demanded Vilondra
"Her as well!" he pointed to Vilondra and they grabbed her as well and started to pull them away. Siri struggled the most
"But I'm his wife!" she cried "I'm your wife! I'm carrying your child"
"Means nothing. I have the child I need right here. This child is the heir to all of Antar!" he said coldly as the child in his arms began to cry and Siri whimpered holding her stomach fluid leaked down her leg and Kivar raised a brow
"Take her to the infirmary, once she has had the child imprision her" he ordered then walked off carrying Ethan.

***

She had no idea how long she sat in the long darkness, they came in with food every so often but she didn't touch it. The door opened and two guards came in carrying a very weak Siri who still looked heavily pregnant. Liz felt compelled to go over and help her
"Are you okay?"
"The doctors gave me some pills to hold off the pregnancy. Kivar is trying to choose a new mother for our child... for my child" she explained then stiffened "Oh it hurts" Liz reached out and put her hand over her new friend's stomach. It glowed and the pain ceased "How can you do that? You're human?"
"Something I picked up when I was pregnant with Ethan. Michael helped me hone it to a fine degree before you showed up"
"Lizparker" coughed Siri "You're a true being. You're on an alien planet, your son has been stolen from you and you may never see your family again and yet you're still helping me"
"What else can I do?" she whispered sadly, they heard a clatter and both looked up to see Maria and Michael standing there with Vilondra, Alex and Larek behind them
"How about get out of here?"
"How did you get out?" asked Liz as Larek and Vilondra helped Siri up out of the cell
"They might be advanced as a race and all but they don't stand a chance against Maria Deluca and her lock picking skills!" Maria replied then Michael took the lead, he opened a secret passage that Kivar had no clue about and led them through till they reached a large grate overlooking a forest
"There are still people loyal to me that will help us" he explained "We must make our way to Azla, a village that way north of here. If we get seperated just keep following the river. The river runs right through Azla then flows upwards into the mountains"
"Upwards? Ever here of the laws of Gravity SpaceBoy?" sneered Maria roughly
"It's the only river in the universe that does it, we've tried to figure out why for as long as time but it's said that when the King from distant shores returns that it will run backwards and flood the castle washing away the evil"
"Kivar is not evil, just misguided" Larek pointed out trying to defend the only family he had left
"Whatever" said Liz "Let's just go" she climbed down from the grate and the others followed, none of them noticed that the river was now running into the castle.

***

"Mama!" cried Ethan for the nth time. Kivar scowled deeply, they were getting no where. The child would not listen and it almost seemed ignorant of what he was trying to teach
"Have the boy child tested!" he cried out in frustration "I want to know if this child is actually the heir. He seems far too stupid and very human and simple!" the two lackeys carried the child away to be tested by the Granilith. If the Granilith approved him then he would continue the training he was failing to take in.
Charb set the sobbing infant down in front of the Granilith and began to program it but the Granilith had other ideas. It flashed a beam of light out and Ethan was sucked inside, the two lackeys could only watch in horror as the child began to age rapidly. Charb felt something trickle across his feet and looked down just as the Granilith grew thick and shielded itself, a wall exploded under a heavy deluge of water and within seconds the Granilith chamber was flooded to the roof, the water flowed out fast and before Kivar could react the water flooded the Throne Room and he was killed instantly.
The water levels receded until it was about knee deep and all of the people faithful to Kivar and Kivar himself had been washed away, the Granilith softened till it was back to normal and humming with life, a beam of light shot out and a tall figure stood there where metallic armor, the helmet folded up revealing the young man's head. His hair was shaggy and almost black with golden highlights and his eyes were black as night. Upon his head rested a silver band with a cyrillic crystal, he was the King of Earth, Antar and Felizor and he wanted his mommy...

As he walked past the people just bowed, they had no clue who he was but they felt that they had to show respect. He walked along the streets dressed in his metallic armour with a lord sword sheathed resting against his hip. He could feel the connection with his mommy growing closer and he turned and went into a tavern; the people behind him stood up and began whispering about the new king and word began to spread.
Ethan looked around the large tavern and spotted a small party all huddled together looking around nervously. One of them was staring straight at him not caring that she could be seen.

***

"We have to figure out a way to rescue to my brother!" cried Vilandra, she buried her head in her hands trying not to sob "He's in there with him!"
"Don't worry Vila" said Rath but made no move to comfort her. Alex reached over and put an arm around her and she slid closer to him
"It'll be okay. We'll rescue your brother and Ethan... Michael... Rath-whatever your name is! We need to gather some troups together, that way we can rescue Liz's son" he said and Rath nodded then turned to ask for Liz's opinion but she wasn't paying attention. She was looking across the room at a newcomer who was staring back at her
"Liz!" he snapped grabbing her arm getting her attention she turned to look at him looking a little surprised and Ethan grew enraged by the fact he'd grabbed her so forcefully! He pulled his sword out and the darkened tavern lit up with the glowing light of it, the metal looked like it was burning as red and orange energy surged over it. He marched towards Rath and aimed the sword at his throat
"Unhand her now" he hissed roughly and Michael let her go. Ethan held out his hand and she took it
"Liz!" gasped Maria, Ethan wrapped an army tight around her and backed up out of the tavern. When he was outside he sheathed his sword and hurried his mom down the street. The others hurried out after him but they couldn't keep up with the head start they'd got.

***

Ethan stood before her and his metallic armour retracted revealling a green silk blazer and green trousers that clung to him, and left little to the imagination. He pulled his mom close and hugged her
"Mama" he whispered and she gasped, she suddenly understood why she had been drawn to him
"Ethan! Ethan OMG!" she wrapped her arms around him and held him. He had the biggest smile on his face and he closed his eyes tight feeling content and safe "Ethan what happened to you? You were only a baby when they took you from me!"
"The Granilith saved me. Made me big and strong so I could rescue you from Kivar. Don't worry mama, Kivar won't be bothering us anymore, the castle was flooded and all that evil is gone now"
"My baby" she whispered and stroked his cheek "Oh Ethan! You've never got a chance at a childhood!"
"This isn't permenant mama. The Granilith made me like this and when I've done what I have to do I'll be little again" he explained
"What is it that you have to do?"
"Make sure the people recognise that you and daddy are the true King and Queen of the Whirlwind Galaxy"
"But honey... I'm not. I'm not a Queen" she pointed out
"Yes you are. Coz you're my mama" he replied "You're my mama and you're the Queen of Antar. If you're not the queen then you're not my mama but that's silly coz you are my mama so that makes you Queen" he said fiddling with the bottom of his blazer "I saw it. When I was in the Granilith. You were with daddy and you were wearing this black dress a little like Auntie Isabel's and you were beautiful. We were coming to Earth in the biggest specialest ship Antar had and I was little again" she smiled
"I think we should go back to the others. We need to explain then we need to gather up some troups to go back into the castle and sort things out" she said, Ethan closed his eyes tight then opened them smiling
"It's all back to how it was now mama, just without Kivar. We can go find daddy!" he said and his armour appeared and covered his body once more. Liz paused... Max was alive! She got up and hurried after Ethan who was shouting and overjoyed
"Antar! The King Lives!" he cried as he ran through the streets with Liz following him, they ran past the tavern and Maria spotted her friend and rushed after her. The others began to follow her as they raced towards the castle....

"Tommy? Just take a look at this for a moment would ya? I got something on the radar. It's probably nothing it's just it's pretty big" said Harry as he leaned back in his chair, his headphones were laying around his neck and he had been playing with his pen all afternoon. Tommy slid over on his computer chair and looked at the radar
"It's too big to be a meteor..." he mumbled then looked down at the co-ordinates before looking back to the large blip on the screen, he turned to Harry looking grim "Call Frank. Now" Harry shot up from his chair and left the room in a hurry, he raced down the hall to a row of phones and picked up the red one and pressed the single button on the pad
"Frank. It's Harry, we have something on the radar. Something big" he said, he heard rustling then the line went dead. Five minutes later, Major Frank Reynolds came marching in still wearing his pyjamas and dressing gown and set himself up in front of the screen. He looked it over then turned to the two desk jockeys working the night shift
"Call the Pentagon. Get everyone up, right away! You! Call the airways and get them to freeze all flights. The rate and speed this thing is going at... it'll be over American air space in about half an hour!"

***

He held out his hand and she smiled and took it, he pulled her close and she couldn't help smiling
"Almost home now Liz" he whispered looking at her hungrily, she nodded and looked down. Back on Antar after Kivar had been killed Siri had started to lean more and more on Larek until one day Liz caught them making out in a corridor; they had been together ever since. Siri and Larek were here on the ship as well as the two pilots that brought Larek to Earth, Michael and Maria had formed a strange bond of shouting at each other then kissing and Alex and Vila had become silent companions.
Max was about to kiss her but the buzzer went off and Ethan began to wail... that was another strange thing; as Max and Liz's relationship deepend Ethan began to get younger and younger. The very first morning on the ship he was two years old again, she was glad that her son... their son had gone back to normal.
"King Zan, Queen Elizabeth... we are approaching Earth now. General Rath is requesting that you stop mawling each other and come to deck" said the announcer Liz chuckled but Max didn't get it
"What's mawling?" he asked confused, Liz leaned over and whispered in his ear and he blushed bright red
"Oh" he said and she bit her lip grinning
"Maybe one day you'll mawl me?" she joked and his eyes went wide in surprise
"Such language you use! And for a Queen no less" he said as he grabbed his blazer and she picked up Ethan out of the bed. She craddled him in her arms and they left their room and went to the control deck.
In the control deck Alex was sat near the screen pressing different symbollic buttons
"Glad you guys could make it. We're only announcing to all the people of Earth that aliens exist. No biggie" joked Alex
"Bite me" Liz shot back sticking her tongue out at him
"Don't tempt me Parker!" he shot back hiding his smirk
"Hey! Don't even think about biting my wife! She's mine to bite and mine alone" Max said thinking Alex was flirting with Liz; he had no idea they were cousins. Everyone on the deck froze and turned to stare at Max and Liz "What?"
"You called me your wife" whispered Liz and he turned to look at her
"I did?" he asked then gasped as it suddenly hit him, he had called her his wife! "I'm sor-" she cut him off and kissed him
"I'd like that" she told him before laying her head on his shoulder
"Okay lovebirds if you're done with the hunky hooey stuff let's get this show on the road. I have tapped into a video feed with the Pentagon and we're going live in... I always wanted to do this! Five... four... three... two" then he pointed at them as the screen changed to several people talking wildly in a conference room.
"Greetings Earth" said Max and Liz snickered... what a cheesy line, she thought as she sat there "You may have detected my ship on your radars by now. I am King Zan from the planet Antar, this is my... wife Queen Elizabeth and we come to make contact in peace. Any sign of violence will be taken as of hostility towards us and there will be no choice but to react in the same manner. May I speak with the person in charge?" he asked looking round the people on the screen. One man stood up, his jacket hanging open and his tie loose
"I am General Howard Byford and I am in charge. We realise that you are going to be entering Earth air space momentarily and we would like to know what you are going to do here on Earth"
"Well General" began Max "We want to make an alliance with Earth, we come to ask you to join the Whirlwind Galaxy Confederation which is a united alliance with several planets in my galaxy and a few in yours"
"You must realise that you will be seen as potentially dangerous when you come to Earth. That every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety of the people of Earth" Max was about to say something, Liz could feel his temper rising and Liz put her hand on his arm calming him down. She handed him Ethan who was fast asleep and she stood up
"General Howard, my name is Elizabeth Claudia Parker and I come from Roswell New Mexico. I graduated from West Roswell High as Valedictorian of my year and I have been accepted into Harvard. Fate dealt me this hand, the hand of King Zan and the alien life and I can say without question that they mean no harm. They're honest good people who I trust... even more so than some of the people on Earth"
"Are you saying that Antarians have had contact with humans before today?" he asked and she nodded
"Yes sir I am. They mean no harm, they're pretty much the same as humans except their brains are more advanced"
"Well your highness" he began making her blush "We're going to have to discuss among ourselves before we make a collected decision about the possible threat you pose"
"Okay. Is it okay if we do the whole Star Trek beam me up Scottie thing? Coz I really miss my parents and I want to meet them again"
"Okay. We'll set up an escort for you in Roswell" he said and she smiled
"Thank you General" she said then the screen went back to normal view screen. She turned round squealing loudly and jumped over to Max "I'm going to see my mom and dad again! I'm going home!" she said excited "You're finally going to meet my parents Max!" she said but he didn't look too excited, in fact he was scared to death!

The limo travelled through town surrounded by police men on motorcycles. The flags on the limo had been fixed to the Antarian flag and were whipping wildly in the wing, people wondered who on Earth had caused so much attention to get a ride like that. The limo pulled up near the CrashDown cafe and several men dressed in suits wearing ear pieces got out and lined the path to the door. Liz got out holding Ethan, she shook her head she didn't need this much attention. She was finally home! She brushed off her long black dress and fixed the band like crown on her head and turned to see Max cowering in the limo
"Max come on" she said holding out her hand "I want you to meet my parents. It's okay" she said soothingly. By now several people had come to see what all the fuss was about and when Max stepped out of the limo several people gasped. His skin had a slightly grey tone to it and his eyes were all black with flecks of brown amber in them, she took his hand and smiled. A agent opened the door for her and she walked into the cafe craddling Ethan in one arm and hold Max's hand with the other. Jeff was working the counter when he saw her
"LIZ!" he shouted, he didn't bother coming round the counter instead he jumped clean over it and pulled her into a big hug "Where the hell have you been! OMG! Look at you! What are you wearing?"
"I've been on Antar dad. It's a long story but um... I'm not Queen Elizabeth of Antar... are you mad?"
"Mad? Are you insane? My daughter is Queen of an entire planet! This is way better than Harvard! I'm so proud of you!" he took Ethan from her then Liz turned to look at Max. Jeff noticed that he was wearing similar strange clothes to Liz
"Is that him? Is he the father?" he asked and Liz nodded timidly unsure of how this would go "Then he is no longer welcome in my restuarant. I have to respect the safety of my family and the customers who come and eat here and I feel that you're a threat to everything. You practically raped my daughter!"
"What? Dad! No!" Liz cried and Max backed up
"If you ever come near her or my grand son you'll end up six feet under you freaky alien rapist!"
"Dad! Stop it! I'm alien too and so is Ethan! If Max goes then I go too, he... he's my husband!"
"You're seventten Liz! You're not old enough to get married without parental consent" her had her there. She scowled then looked up at him, her resolve strong as ever
"On Earth. On Earth" she repeated "Antar if it's love then we can. Max is my husband and he's the father of my child, if he's a freaky alien then I am too and so is my son. God! I thought you'd welcome my family with open arms, how wrong I was! Thanks dad, thank's for showing me that my home isn't here anymore. It's back on Antar by Max's side"
"Liz wait...!" he began but she ignored him and turned sharply on her heel and left the cafe. Jeff was turning purple with rage "You've made a powerful enemy here today freak. I'll make you pay for stealing my little girl away from me" and Max left following Liz.
They sat in the limo quietly letting their anger calm some when Max turned to her
"Are you sure that you want to do this? Antar is so far away... would you really turn your back on your parents?"
"I'm not turning my back on them. They are my parents and I will always love them but what my father did back that was not right. I guess I was hoping for too much" she looked down trying to hide her tears
"Hey. It's okay to hope for too much. That's how I met you right? I was hoping to find a girl that would carry my son... I had no that that hope would bring me to you. You are my soul mate Liz and I love you with all my heart. Whatever you decide I'll be there for you, whether you choose Antar or Earth I'll be by your side through out it all"
"I love you Max but I've made my decision. I don't know why I found it so easy to do this but I think... maybe it's possible that when you gave me Ethan that I got a little bit of Ava too. I have a promise to keep and I can't do it here. I'm going to raise Ethan on Antar, just as Siri is going to raise Janna"
"Okay" he said nodding "We still have all this alliance stuff to deal with then we can go home"
"Home" she whispered "You won't leave me behind this time?"
"No, you're everything I ever needed. Why would I leave you behind?" he asked as the limo pulled away from the curb.

The End...

Note: There will be a epilogue don't worry!

Epilogue

"That's got to be the two hundredth ship come into the dock since I woke up! I sooo cannot do this. I'm not ready"
"You'll do fine Zan" said Liz with a smile and removed his hands from trying to take his crown off "You've practically been running the empire since you were five" she chuckled "Taking on the alliance is nothing"
"Are you sure?" he whispered and she nodded then pulled him into a hug
"Oh I'm so proud of you" she said happily "My little boy's all grown up and about to be married"
"It's a big responsibility marriage. What I don't get is that I have to become King as well, don't I have enough to deal with?"
"Don't let Jaylyll hear you say that" she warned him then lifted up his cap and put it on his head over the band he wore to signify that he was royalty.
"I won't. Is Grampa Jeff and Gramma Nance out there?"
"Yep, sat front row. They wouldn't miss their granson's big day" they music began to play and Ethan buried his head in his hands. Jalyll was the daughter of the most skilled and experienced General in the solar system and the Earth Galactic Diplomat, many people had told him what an honour it was.
"Oh God I can't do this! What if this Jalyll person doesn't like me?" he asked "Why do I have to marry her? Can't I marry Lilli instead? Lilli's cool! I wish Michael and Maria hadn't handed her off to some other bozo"
"Ethan! Get up off your can and stop mopping! Arranged marriages have been tradition on the planet for the past 5 millenia!" snapped Elizabeth, the sooner he got out there then the sooner he would realise that Jalyll was Lilli. He sighed and stood up
"Okay, I can do this. Wish me luck mom"
"Good luck sweetie" she said just as Max came to get Liz. Ethan stepped out of the tent and saw the blue carpet rolled out for him and Jalyll. He walked to the end and stood waiting. His hands were shaking with nervousness, he couldn't believe himself! He had defeated the most evil war lord in all of Antar's history when he was two and he was terrified that this girl wouldn't like him. The girl in question was wearing white and her face was covered with a white square of clothe and she was walking down the isles by herself. Ethan was this close to bolting, running as fast as he could till he got to one of those ships and flew off far away where they thought the concept of arrange-marriage was taboo. Jalyll reached the end and Ethan reached out, with his hands still shaking and lifted up her veil to see Lilli staring back at him. Suddenly it all fell into place! He should have figured it out! He smiled and took hold of both her hands then turned to the vicar who began the ceremony.
Liz and Max just watched from their spot near the tent, Liz had one hand on Max's shoulder and she rested her head against his upper arm. She jumped when she felt something behind her
"Oh Ava" she smiled
"I didn't hear you come in" gasped Liz
"Hey Max, Liz" she smiled then Zan came over and put his hand on her shoulder
"How's our little boy doing?"
"He's doing good. I was a bit worried for a second but he's okay" she said then sighed "I think my mom and dad are going to stay for the whole ceremony!"
"I'm not surprised" said Zan "Are you ready to go home now?" he asked and Max nodded then looked to Liz
"Sure," Liz said a moment later then she took hold of Max's hand and the four people standing in the tent disappeared.
"I think our parents were here with us for a moment" whispered Ethan and she nodded
"Yeah I could have swore my mom was in the tent with me arguing with my dad over my veil and dress and how much this all cost. Like it really matters to them where they are" she said with a chuckle then looked up. She hoped that wherever her... their parents were that they were happy.

The End
