Chapter Ten: The Storm

"It’s a big mess Liam." Renee said to the other man as she stomped around the lair it had been three days since the interview and she was still pissed at him. "What possessed you to go on TV like that?" She scowled as she continued pacing. "Now we have the news media plastering your face everywhere and the Taelons are furious they’ve issued a warrant for your arrest for your resistance activities."

Liam sat there listening to her rant for a few more minutes then answered. "We figured this would happen." He said with a laugh. "It’s working out exactly like we expected it too Dad’s in charge of the investigation and Street’s helping him work on an insurance policy."

Renee’s scowl turned dangerous at the mention of Sandoval. "Liam how can you be sure you trust him he’s a monster he’s done horrible things?" She saw him flinch.

Joshua finally entered the room and glared at her. "That’s enough Renee people do horrible things in war I still love my dad even with all the things he did." He glared at her daring her to comment. "And Yes I know about the incident in the early days of the Resistance which is why you were never working with him directly again."

Renee looked down. "How did you find out about that Joshua your father never talked about that with anyone?" She said remembering exactly how many lives had been resistance activity and how Jonathan had knowingly sent them to their death.

Joshua shook his head. "Sandoval was in charge of the unit that wiped them out he knew Dad had sent them there to die because they moderated a more peaceful opposition." He saw her flinch.

Liam got up and placed a reassuring hand on Joshua’s shoulder the three of them set standing there silently. None of them knew exactly what to say when Street suddenly burst in. "You guys have got to see this?" She said before turning and running back out of the room.

They quickly followed to see a transmission from the mothership. "It’s on all frequencies and the power output is incredible they have to be receiving this even on Jaridia." She said turning up the volume so they could here.

On screen a glowing light was facing Zo’or and Da’an. "I was Va’on now I am beyond anything that has ever been." It said darkly. "I have come to destroy the tainted one then to make all three races one." The entity released a blast of light that fragmented Zo’or into pieces. "Now all Humans, Taelons and Jaridians shall become one with me."

Liam and Joshua grabbed their heads and saw the Taelon commonality being swallowed this wasn’t’ the death of one or two individual taelons which they wouldn’t fell but all of them. "It’s eating the Commonality." Liam said as he saw the others gazing at him and Joshua with concerned expressions.

"This is what those dreams were about isn’t it?" Joshua said. "This is what Ha’Gel was trying to warn us about isn’t it?" Liam only nodded. The two of them turned and headed outside. Street and Renee were about to follow them when normal transmissions resumed.

"The Mothership Renee it’s gone it’s completely been absorbed by whatever that thing is and it’s heading down to earth." She froze. "It’s coming here Renee it’s heading toward Washington DC the Taelon Embassy."

Liam and Joshua got outside just in time to see the light hit in the distance. "So what can we do against that thing?" Joshua asked hoping Liam had some idea of what they were going to do.

"I have no idea." He said freezing as he felt the touch of an alien mind. "It’s coming it wants us first before the rest of humanity." He said in the distance they could see the light racing forward. "Get ready." Liam said raising his palms to face the creature. "Don’t hold back."

Renee and Street were just coming out of the Church doors when it arrived. They watched as Liam and Joshua fired their shaqarava several times at it but it only set there unaffected. Nearby on the street People were running away in a panic. "It’s not good we can’t hurt it." Liam said.

A sound like a laugh emanated from the creature as tendril of energy flashed forward toward Liam and Joshua. "Move it." Street said shoving them out of the way just in time. They hit the ground and turned to see Street held aloft by the tendril as she screamed a final scream her body broke apart into energy and was absorbed into the creature.

Liam and Joshua stood up in shock they along with Renee stared at the place where Street used to be. "Move." A Voice yelled as bolts of energy swirled around the creature and it screamed. "Liam snap out of it Remember the Future is not set in stone go back change things."

Liam turned to see Joyce standing behind him her eyes glowing brightly. "I will buy you what time I can but it is stronger than I am." Liam nodded mouthed a quick thank you and then grabbed Renee and Joshua by the arm and dragged them back into the church.

Renee started at him in shock. "Where are we going?" She asked her voice still sounded as if she was in shock. "What possibly could be in the lair to help us now we are all going to die."

"Renee, Augur never told the main resistance but there is a taelon time portal down there." He said quietly. "We can’t beat that thing but we can stop it from ever existing." He said speeding up as he felt Joyce weakening. "We have to hurry she can’t hold that thing long." Pulling them into the lift. He hit the button to descend.

Joshua was still out of it when he started looking around. "Where’s Spyke we have to find Spyke." He felt Liam’s answer. "We can’t leave him Liam we already left Street." Renee took one look and him and knew he was cracking up. She and Liam knew you had to ignore it till you had time to deal with the death but Joshua was never actively resistance he wasn’t used to war. So she did the only thing she could to snap him out of it she slapped him.

"Wake up Joshua if you and Liam don’t get going Joyce will fall and Street will have died for nothing." She said angrily. "You to go back and stop this I’ll see to it he can’t follow you." Both of the men were staring at her in shock. "Go I’ll trip the Self destruct your father had in this place it should still be active." She saw them about to object. "Don’t say anything not even goodbye just stop this."

Liam nodded and pulled Joshua with him. "Don’t worry Joshua we are going to stop this." Joshua nodded as they reached the door to the concealed area. Liam quickly typed in the code on the keypad hidden behind a horrible painting and the door slid open. "In here." Joshua stared at the large black archway inside a Taelon prison field. "Augur wanted to make sure anything that emerged would be friendly." Liam said deactivating the field and placing his palm shaqarava glowing on the activation square. "Come on."

Joshua nodded and taking Liam’s hand the two stepped threw the doorway of multi colored lights. Renee who had been watching on a security monitor that had come up on Augur’s main console when Liam opened the main door reached down and pushed a button. "Good luck boys be seeing you soon Street." She closed her eyes and wished she could see Jeff one more time as the blast hit.

Liam winced as Renee continued to rant and rave about the ANA dragging her into an interview to see if he had been telling the truth. Renee was just about to start in saying he obviously was as intelligent as his age suggested when an alarm sounded. Street who had been sitting quietly at the computer went to check. "I can’t access it says only Augur, Lili and Liam are allowed to know about this alarm."

Liam walked over to the computer and said. "This is Liam what is it." The voice system checked his name and opened a window showing two people huddled together in the containment system around the Time portal. "Looks like we have guest from another time." Liam was shocked when he saw himself look up at the camera and wave.

"Come on this has to be important I wouldn’t use the time portal unless it was necessary." He said quickly mentally appraising Joshua of the history of the time portal. \You do understand why I kept it a secret don’t you?\

\Yes I do it’s a dangerous device.\ Joshua said seeing Renee and Street staring in shock he decided to explain. "Remember when Dad nearly had the nervous breakdown Renee I’m sure you heard of it." He saw her nod. "Well Liam and Augur did find the information that he was the target but they left out that they had gained possession of a Taelon time portal in the process."

Liam knew he was going to get chewed out for it later. "So now lets see what prompted me to come." He suddenly had a disturbing thought remembering those dreams he and Joshua had been having. \You think so too huh?\ He said picking up on Joshua’s line of thought that closely mirrored his.

Joshua and Liam emerged from the portal with a crash into the ground. "I hated that part." Liam said to himself he turned to see Joshua kneeling on the ground crying. He felt Joshua’s grief for their friends and it reminded him of his own grief he was trying to keep surprised. He knelt next to Joshua and pulled the other man against him. "Don’t worry we’ll fix it so no one will die you’ll see." He said soothingly as much to help calm down Joshua as to clam himself down. He looked up at the camera he knew was there and waved hoping someone was watching.

It was a surreal experience for the four of them when they opened the door to find another Liam and Joshua crouched in front of the time portal. "Why are you here?" Liam spoke up as he entered trying to keep his voice level.

The other Liam stood up pulling his Joshua up with him. "We are from two days in the future the dream came true." He said darkly. "We were the only survivors we came back to change things."

Liam nodded and then something in him told him what had to be done he looked and saw the other Liam figuring it out at the same time. "No that’s insane." both Joshua’s said at once then looked at each other.

"It’s the only way to prevent Phasing and the inevitable death of one us." The two Liams said not finding it odd that they were speaking in stereo. Renee and Street hung back clueless wondering what was going on. "It’s the only way." They repeated again.

The two Joshua looked at each other intently then turning grabbed their respective Liam’s and kissed them thoroughly. "Okay tell us what to do." Street and Renee Watched in shock as their Liam turned off the forcefield separating him from their Future selves. They then watched as the four of them placed their palms Shaqarava glowing against their counterparts.

Suddenly there was an eruption of light and they couldn’t see anything. When it cleared they found thier selves staring at a single Liam and Joshua. "Where are the other two?" Then Street had an insight. "Oh so there’s only one now which are you ours or the future ones?"

"Both." Joshua said his eyes dark with some memory. Liam throw an arm over the other man’s shoulder as Joshua continued. "And neither."

"We had to join in order to prevent phasing." Liam said calmly. "We can talk about this later we need to go we have to deal with Va’on before he changes." Liam calmly walked over and picked up a global. "Dad meet us at Da’an’s Audience chamber in the Embassy it’s important." He snapped off and quickly shut down the global and deactivated it. "Street you stay here and if the mothership blows up use the coordinates in the computer to Port yourself to Jaridia and warn them the end is coming." Street started to object but Liam silenced her with a look. "Renee you me and Joshua are going to pay Da’an a visit we need to find out where Va’on is."

Da’an looked up as Sandoval entered his audience chamber and growled for the volunteers to get out. "Is something amiss Agent Sandoval." He asked concerned Sandoval turned to stare a portal that activated. He then found himself staring at Liam, Joshua Doors and Renee Palmer.

"What the hell are you thinking coming here Liam if Zo’or finds out he’ll have our heads." Sandoval barked angrily at the other man who didn’t even seem to care. Da’an was shocked to see Sandoval expressing concern over Liam.

"Sorry Dad but I need information only Da’an or you can provide." Liam said darkly. "Where is Va’on?" He asked turning to see Da’an’s curious look. "I don’t have allot of time if he realizes we know what’s he’s up to he may go ahead with it now and then all four races are screwed."

Da’an was shocked. "Liam what do you mean You have to explain things clearer if you wish for my aid." He said wondering if Liam intended to finish what he started last time something about the way the young hybrid said Va’on’s name made him wary.

"In less than Two days Va’on will change himself into something dangerous." Liam said. "Thanks to a taelon time portal we know that and have a chance to stop it so just tell me where he is please Da’an?"

"I cannot do that Liam without proof of what you say I am sorry." He turned away he truly was sorry but his race’s survival came first that hybrid may be the key to proving the Synod he was correct. ‘Perhaps’ He thought darkly. ‘I should tell him Va’on is up to something but no I cannot betray my race so totally without proof.’

Liam shook his head. "Dad please tell me you know where Va’on is?" Liam said turning to Sandoval. Renee and Joshua who were both looking around silently for any sign of eavesdropping volunteers.

Sandoval nodded and said. "Follow me he’s in the hybrid wing of the Moon base." He saw Da’an about to object. "Stay out of this Da’an I trust my son’s judgment even if you don’t." The tone told the Taelon exactly what would happen if he tried to interfere.

Once they were on the moonbase Liam turned toward the others. "Dad, you and Renee start the evacuation and then meet us at Va’on’s lab." He then turned. "If we fail and he changes into that thing get to a portal and go to the mothership." He sighed. "And then have Zo’or blast this place with every weapon onboard." Both of them looked like they were about to object but Joshua reached out and touching their arms stopped them as he allowed them to feel exactly how desperate he and Liam are. Liam sensing that said. "Your getting better at that?"

"Practicing with Spyke helps." He said as the two headed off to Va’on’s lab the other two heading over to one of the consoles to single the evacuation of the Taelon Moonbase. "Are we in time has he changed yet?" He asked he couldn’t seem to be able to tell the Taelons on board apart.

"He hasn’t changed." Liam said hope sounding in his voice. "He isn’t even aware of us yet I don’t think." They entered a room with sleeping Hybrid children who appeared to be a few months old. "So this is where they ended up." Liam said looking down at the infants. "Da’an knew all this time and he didn’t tell me."

Joshua placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and the two continued forward coming face to face with Steve Hartly Shaqarava raised and glowing. "Hold it right there you aren’t going to do anything kimera trash." He was startled when his sister walked out and stood in front of them. "Get out of the way Belle I have to deal with them?"

"Listen to me I think I know why they are here." She shook her head. "You didn’t believe me when I said I thought Liam felt close to us please believe me now something is coming it’s dangerous." She said. He seemed reluctant but finally lowered his hands.

"Why are you here?" Steve finally asked he trusted his sister allot and after learning about the kimera hybrid he had been curious about how she had known. Liam and Joshua exchanged glanced and reached forward. Steve shied back but Belle held out her hand willingly seeming to instinctually know what to do. Seeing her doing it did so as well and saw the future. When the other two hybrids pulled back. "That’s what he’s doing?" He asked in shock all the things they’d done to continue the project hadn’t compared to that.

"We have to stop him." Belle said as she turned and keyed in a forcefield to protect the infants. "Lets go." She said and headed toward the section of the lab that Da’an and Va’on had both informed them was off limits. Along the way they were joined by Sandoval and Renee.

"The evacuation command is set to go off in one minute." Sandoval said. "We didn’t want to tip Va’on off right away." Liam nodded to him as the six of them came a sealed off door. Belle tried entering her access code but it didn’t work. "Let me Try?" Sandoval said producing a collapsible screen to try Zo’or’s energy signature on the lock. The door opened and the six of them entered only to quickly be encased in an energy cell.

"You’ve forced me to accelerate my time table." Va’on said emerging his form was flickering. He finally seemed to exhale deeply as his shaqarava burst back to life. "These are the key to the next step of all our races evolution." He turned as a door opened a hybrid clone walked out. Sandoval gasped to see it appeared to be William Boone. "Yes, you see Da’an cared a great deal for this human and used his DNA as the basis for our new hybrid." The Evacuation alarms began to blare. "How interesting you only delay the inevitable fate of all Taelons and humans on this facility." He turned back toward his hybrid clone.

"I have had an improved variant of the serum Dr. Belman used on herself stored within him it will activate when we merge creating a new life form." Va’on said walking forward the clone raising it’s hands. "Controlling this mindless puppet is child’s play."

Liam looked around their prison. "We have to get out of here everyone of us with Shaqarava choose a direction and shoot." Liam turned to face the window forcewall facing the two approaching figures and fired. As the other three simultaneously fired at the other force walls.

As the flash ended they saw the walls were down but also that Va’on had placed his Shaqarava against those of the hybrid clone. Liam, Joshua, Belle, Steve, and Sandoval firing his skrill sent pulse of energy towards them. But a vortex of energy that seemed to surround them as they began to merge stopped the blast from reaching them. "What do we do now?" Steve asked as the wall of energy seemed to pulse.

Liam didn’t know what to do they had failed the part of him that was the future version of himself. "Dad you Renee and the twins get to the mothership now?" He turned back toward the swirling vortex just in time for it to pulse outward knocking them all back out into the main hybrid room. Liam set up to see the creature approaching him fast. He stood up and tried to hit it with a burst of his shaqarava but it dodged the bolt easily and grabbed him.

"Liam." Joshua said jumping to his feet and Grabbing Liam’s arm as the white light enveloped them both. Renee, Sandoval and the twins stared in shock as it seemed to absorb them then turn to the forcefield meant to protect the Hybrids babies. The forcefield went down easily.

"No Not them leave them alone." Belle Said standing up her Shaqarava blowing brightly as a stream of energy erupted from each palm slamming the creature back into it’s own lab. She tried to run for the babies but stumbled as though she had no strength left and fell to the floor. Her brother ran to her and helped her up. "No Steve ignore me get them we have to protect them they are the future."

Suddenly threw one of the walls the entity phased in coming to rest above the cribs it released tendrils of energy that absorbed them. Belle cried out as the others looked on in shock. Sandoval snapped out of his stupor and grabbed her and Steve. "Come on we have to get to the mothership." Renee noticed that his voice sounded pained she felt numb herself. Renee glanced over at him as they ran for the portal setting it to the mothership they looked back to see Steve dragging his reluctant sister toward them.

"Look out." Renee yelled when she saw the entity sending a tendril of energy toward the two. Belle summoned what strength she had left and threw her brother away from her. The tendril touched her but she smiled as she placed her hands against her chest and suddenly exploded. "What did she just do?" Renee said watching the creature retract it’s energy tendril and scream in pain.

Steve stared in shock and started to run forward but Sandoval grabbed him and pulled him into the portal with himself and Renee. The portal activated and the last thing Renee saw was the entity heading toward them again.

Zo’or watched as Da’an entered the bridge warily. He was about to ask his parent what was wrong when he felt Va’on suddenly leave the commonality. "What has happened?" He asked angrily he saw fear on Da’an’s face he was about to demand an explanation when a Volunteer shouted out.

"Sir Agent Sandoval has ordered the Moonbase be evacuated." Zo’or turned to the volunteer with a glare. "I don’t know why Sir but we are also reading incredible energy readings they are off the scale."

Da’an stood there tensely. ‘Has the Major removed Va’on from the commonality as an act of revenge?’ He asked himself he knew that Liam could return a Taelon to the commonality but could he remove them as well. "Zo’or perhaps it would be wise to seal off access with the moonbase until we know what is going on?"

Even as he spoke the portal activated and he turned to see Sandoval, Renee Palmer and Steve Hartley appear in the flash. "Zo’or unless you want to die target the moonbase with all weapons and fire." Sandoval said heading towards the command chair.

"Out of the Question Agent Sandoval there is too much equipment there that contains core energy we cannot afford to destroy." Zo’or said. "Unless you have adequate proof of a threat to Taelon survival." He was shocked as his protector aimed his skrill at him. "What are you doing?"

"Showing you a threat to your survival." He said darkly. "That monster has killed my son now you will open fire with all weapons or you’ll die then I’ll fire them myself." All of the volunteers on the bridge stared at the exchange in shock.

Da’an however gasped and asked. "Is it true is Liam dead?" He to Renee Palmer and watched as she sadly nodded. "Zo’or fire the weapons." He watched as his child turned form staring at Agent Sandoval to stare at him. "If any trust remains in you for me my child do it please stop whatever killed Liam from harming us."

"Sir lower your arm and surrender." One of the volunteers snapped as he came out of his stupor and aimed his weapon at Agent Sandoval. Zo’or raised a hand to forestall him and turned to the weapons console.

"If you are wrong about this Da’an the cost will be on your head." He was surprised when Da’an nodded calmly. Zo’or targetted the moonbase and fired. On screen they saw the moonbase shattering under the salvo new craters joining the ones that had been there for millions of years on the Moon’s surface.

"What is that?" One of the volunteers asked as a streak of light shot out of the ruined base and impacted the mothership rocking it. He turned to report an impact when he saw Da’an and Zo’or freeze. "Sirs is something wrong?"

"Taelons are dying at an alarming rate." Da’an said as he felt it getting closer each taelon it encountered ceased to exist in the commonality. "Is this what Va’on has become is this what Liam tried to warn me about."

Sandoval turned a dark glare on him. "Yes this is what my son tried to warn you about but your precious hybrid project was too important to risk trusting him." He saw Agent Sandoval raise his skrill obviously preparing to take some revenge for Liam on himself. Da’an closed his eyes preparing for the end. It didn’t come as the entity burst into the room Sandoval turned his skrill and fired what resembled a bolt of shaqarava energy shot out passing threw his skrill blast and throwing Sandoval across the bridge.

Renee headed over to crouch next to him she was surprised to find a pulse his entire right arm was blackened to a crisp his skrill obviously dead. "Hang on Sandoval." She said softly if you’d told her she’d ever care about this man’s survival she’d have laughed but seeing how much Liam’s death hurt him made her admit he was still human somewhere underneath there after all. She watched as the mothership communications console suddenly came to life on it’s own much to the shock of the volunteer stations there.

"Are we dead?" Joshua asked turning toward the extremely bright version of Liam. He didn’t have to look down to know he was glowing blue with white sparks again. Just looking at Liam back in the white form with the multicolored sparks was enough to prove that.

"I don’t think so we seem to be in another psychokenitic plain." Liam said looking around. "If I had to guess I’d say we are within Va’on or what he became." He turned to look at Joshua when a noise drew his attention.

Walking up to them were Jonathan Doors and Ha’Gel. "Freaks this is all your fault you failed." Both yelled out toward them loudly. As more people they knew started appearing and yelling out insults.

‘We did fail.’ Liam thought and felt the same thought repeated in Joshua. He turned toward the other man and saw him fading out. He turned back to see the image of Jonathan Doors renouncing his son for being a fucking faggot, but it was who was standing next to him hurling insults that made him realize the truth.

"No Joshua they aren’t real." He said kneeling next to the other man. "Listen to me Joshua my mother is in there and she would never say those things it’s a trick." He looked into Joshua’s eyes and saw the other man wanted to believe him but just couldn’t get over his father saying those things to him. "Here’s how I know." Liam brought a memory that was too painful to face normally but he knew Joshua needed to see it.

Joshua gasped he’d felt Liam’s emotions over his mothers death but he’d never actually scene the memory. He’d always respected Liam’s privacy because of how painful it was to him. /You were connected to her as she died you felt everything she felt?/ From the memory he knew that was true he also knew when she told Liam she loved him she had meant it.

"Your right this is a trick." He said watching relief flood into Liam’s eyes. He then saw threw Liam’s memories himself fading out. "What do you suppose it’s about?" He asked ignoring the jeering crowd.

"I think he has to make us give up because of the bond." Liam said after thinking for a few seconds. "It’s holding us together instead of letting our minds disperse within him."

"Indeed." A Voice said they turned to see a ball of light open and out of it emerged another Ha’Gel who with a gesture shattered the other images. "I have been dreading this day for a long time my son."

"Your the real thing not like the Ha’Gel in that other dimension aren’t you?" Liam asked he felt Joshua warning him that it could be a trick. "No Joshua that’s him he’s the same one that’s been warning us."

"Yes I have watched you your whole life Liam." Ha’Gel said sadly. "I have wanted to appear to you so much but even though energy beings retain some influence for a time." He seemed to hang his head in shame. "I knew a day would come when all the strength I had left in the physical world would be needed to save you."

"Thank you." He said to Joshua Doors. "If not for you I would have lost my son." He turned toward them and began speaking in Kimera directly to Liam. Joshua watched as Liam’s eyes widen.

Ha’Gel finally stopped speaking and moved forward wrapping an arm around both of them. "By the way Joshua Doors your father said to tell you he was proud of you." Ha’Gel then said one more saying in Kimera before calmly saying. "Remember what I said Liam." With that he closed his eyes.

Joshua heard Liam saying something in Kimera and saw Ha’Gel smile slightly before he seemed to explode outward. "Liam what’s ..." He never got to finish the saying as the energy seemed to push them along.

Street stood in shock as the monitors in the Liar came on as the Mothership sent out a surge of an incredibly strong transmission. On screen a glowing light was facing Zo’or and Da’an. "I was Va’on now I am beyond anything that has ever been." It said darkly. "I have come to destroy the tainted one then to make all three races one." The Entity turned toward Zo’or and then suddenly it screamed. "This is impossible how could they do this to me I am beyond their kin."

Street’s finger hovered over the preprogrammed key to trigger the portal jump to Jaridia as Liam had instructed her to do. She then nearly jumped for joy as she saw the creature shudder as two bodies were flung from within. "That’s Liam and Joshua I just know it space dog." She said turning toward Spyke who set quietly at her feet. He yipped happily when he saw she no longer seemed so nervous.

Da’an watched in shock as Liam and Joshua slid along the floor as the entity continued to thrash angrily making gutteral sounds of rage. "Liam what has happened how did you return?"

Renee looked down to see Sandoval had awakened. "Look Sandoval Liam’s okay he’s back." She said he turned his head slightly and smiled then she saw him starting to close his eyes. "Oh no you don’t." She hauled off and slapped him. He opened his eyes to glare at her. "Don’t even think of leaving him like everyone else."

Liam gestured toward Da’an. "Not now Da’an I have to deal with him Ha’Gel told me what he is." He said smiling back at Joshua. "He’s a living shaqarava meaning I can burn him out." He raised his palms as energy began to emit from them.

Da’an’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Major are you trying to rejoin him to the commonality he is not a Taelon any longer." He saw Joshua Doors watching with concern. He started to say something else but heard an angry snap in his head telling him to shut up and watch. He turned to see Joshua Doors glaring at him slightly then turning back to watch Liam.

Liam approached cautiously and when he finally clasped hands with the entity that had resolved itself into a humanoid appearance his fingers cracked and burned. He kept holding firm and finally with a jolt was thrown back as Va’on Reappeared in his taelon form for a few seconds before screaming as his body exploded into a wave of core energy.

"Liam the commonality." Da’an yelled as he began to flicker between his form and that of an Atavus. Liam’s eyes widened as he threw his mind to the plane where the commonality dwelled to see that two much core energy was now within the commonality it was breaking the bonds between the members blowing them out. "You must do something Liam if it shatters there will be thousands of Atavus to prey on your world."

Liam reached out with his mind and began shoving his strength into he commonality he felt Joshua join him. \Why are you helping?\ He asked he then knew the answer Joshua may hate the Taelons and won’t them gone but if Liam tried to hold the commonality together alone it would kill him. "Thank you." He said outloud.

The two continued to try but it just wasn’t enough the commonality had been ripped to shreds it was as good as gone. Liam and Joshua stood there on the psychokentic plane. "There has to be something we can do?" Liam said and then was shocked as Steve Hartly appeared beside them. "What are you doing here?"

"I want to help it’s what Belle would have wanted." He said sadly. Liam nodded and began showing him what to do. "This is impossible." He said angrily his mind just wasn’t as strong as the other two. "If only Belle were here she was always better at this side of things."

"She is here child." A Voice said Liam turned to see human psychics who had sensed what was going on joining in the effort. "She came to us and told us we would be needed told us to help." Even with the human psychics it took Da’an and other stabilized commonality members lending their aid to finally fully restore the fractured commonality.

Sometime later on the medical deck of the mothership. Renee Palmer watched a surreal scene of organized Chaos as Liam’s burnt hands were being treated he was constantly disappearing every time the Taelon physician turned away to get something to check on Sandoval. Joshua was hovering over Liam in an extremely paranoid fashion. Zo’or and Da’an were discussing something nearby and judging from the look son their face it was a very serious conversation. Also several reporters had been invited up to the mothership and were waiting outside the medical deck like vultures.

She watched warily as Zo’or made his way over to stand near the reporters. "The synod hereby recends the warrants for the arrest of the hybrid Liam and Joshua Doors." He said with finality. "The synod is in debt to humanity this day." He said finally before stepping aside.

Da’an stepped forward. "We Taelons have made a grievous error in our treatment of humanity." He blushed blue. "We will do all in our power to make up for this as we invite the leaders of the world to meet with us to establish a partnership."

Joshua glared at them. "Isn’t that what we were supposed to have with them all along." He said bitterly he saw the Taelon doctor still working on Liam’s hands flinch at his words. Steve Hartly set nearby he looked up at the dark tone in his words.

"Yes we were." Liam said just as darkly watching the medic blush. "In time humanity may forgive your people but we will never forget." Joshua nodded he doubted he’d ever be able to forgive the Taelons but he knew as time moved on he would be willing to tolerate them if only for Liam’s sake.

Several days later.

"So Sandoval is finally out of the hospital and back to work?" Street asked amazed that Sandoval was still acting as Zo’or protector. She saw Renee nod from where she was busy reading progress reports on Doors international Scientist attempts to duplicate the control core. "Why did he go back to working for them; Hey for that matter why did Zo’or let him after the whole threaten his life stunt?"

"My guess is he wants to be sure they really have recended the death order on Liam and help keep an eye making sure the Taelons are being honorable this time as an act of atonement." She would never have believed it if she hadn’t been threw that nightmare with Va’on with him. "And Zo’or is probably doing it because of how dangerous an enemy Sandoval would be you know the old Keep your friends close your enemies closer thing."

Liam set in Da’an’s office in shock. "You want me to what?" He couldn’t believe he was being asked to do this.

"I have spoken with the governments of the world and they expressed an interest in having you as their official liaison with the Taelon people." He blushed blue. "It seems they feel your unique situation makes you the perfect choice." He paused. "Liam even before the revelation of the truth about you people respected you they do so even more now."

"Not all of them." He said remembering his confrontation with Urik when he and Renee had been called to an emergency ANA meeting. "There are allot of people who don’t like the idea of human alien hybrids." He paused. "How is Steve by the way?"

"Still mourning the loss of his sister." Da’an said. "Yes there are those people just as some of mine still advocate hunting you down and eliminating you because you are kimera." He gestured a data stream opened showing one of the latest news polls showing that over 70% of those polled didn’t care that he wasn’t fully human. "Ever since your interview support for you has slowly been rising if you hide yourself away it will eventually fall." He paused. "I do believe you should take this job Liam Zo’or currently is willing to support humanity because Va’on’s death has restored core energy reserves to the highest they have been in thousands of years."

"William Boone once called me the bridge between out two worlds but I’m not Liam you are." He paused. "You stand the best chance of seeing to it that my people treat humanity fairly without being vengeful and causing more harm than good."

"I’ll think about it Da’an." Liam said finally. "I’m not making you any promises but I’ll think about it." He saw Da’an nod. "I’ll give you my answer in a few days Good Bye Da’an."

"Good Bye Liam." Da’an said as his former protector left via the underground tunnels to avoid the throngs of press that had been camped outside the embassy since the incident. He hoped the young hybrid would accept the position.

Liam was still thinking about Da’an’s job offer as he met up with Joshua at Dr. Park’s office. He arrived to find Dr. Park waiting there with a slightly disturbed Joshua she immediately dragged him into the examining room. /What is it?/

/Dr. Park found DNA Traces she thinks might have come from the entity in my system./ He felt Joshua’s panic. /She’s worried they may cause complications down the road./ Joshua felt Liam’s insistence he calm down they’d face whatever happened together. Reassured he decided to change the subject. /So how was the meeting with Da’an?/

/I’ll tell you later./ Liam said as he felt the pick of a needle on his arm. /I don’t care what she says that hurts./ He could hear Joshua’s mental laughter over the link. Liam choose to turn his attention back to the doctor. "So do I have the same DNA traces."

Dr. Park only nodded as the test confirmed them. "Yes they are there in your system." She paused. "I don’t believe they are from the entity now that I’ve had more time to study them while waiting for you to show up." She paused. "Liam I ran a test they match your DNA by around 33.3 percent that means they are kimera traces."

"I guess when Ha’Gel helped us out something of him got left behind." Liam said relaying the information to Joshua who was relieved. "What do you think we can expect from them being in our system?"

"At the moment they are dormant that Core energy bath you two were bathed in along with the rest of the mothership was responsible I believe." She frowned. "As the charge of core energy fades the fragments may become active again and I have no way of knowing what that would do you?"

"I guess you’ll just have to keep a check on them then." Liam said with a smile as his memory returned. "I think I knew this was going to happen." Memories of a fragment of a dream drifted threw his mind. "Whatever happens Dr. Park I know I can count on you to figure it out."

Sandoval stood on the bridge of the mothership the core energy he’d been exposed to had accelerated his healing. ‘No one on the mothership even has a cold anymore because of the energy bath.’ He thought with a bit of dry humor. He missed Raven as his new skrill Eagle was allot less compliant but it had been one of the few skrills left after the loss of the skrill queen. ‘I still wonder why Zo’or did not take action against me for that threat.’

Later that night Liam and Joshua were sitting down. "So you wanted to know how my meeting with Da’an went?" He saw Joshua nod. "It was interesting he offered me the job of as official liaison from the human race to the Taelons." He saw Joshua blink in shock. "Yeah I had a similar reaction."

"Do you want the job?" Joshua asked he saw Liam nod. "Then what’s the problem we both know you can’t stay out of the middle of things you care to much." He shook his head. "I mean I’ll have to deal with Taelons now that I’m back working at my fathers company."

Liam raised an eyebrow. "Renee got you back in then?" He saw Joshua glaring at him and knew why. "Okay I didn’t know if you wanted anyone to know about our relationship and it’s a very public job."

"I don’t care what anyone knows." Joshua said calmly. "I’ve already been dealing with offers threw Doors international to do interviews about my relationship with you." He smiled slightly. "Apparently some of the volunteers were talking about how close we were acting and contacted the press." He laughed at the look on Liam’s face. "You know we aren’t very discreet."

Liam thought about it and realized Joshua was right on the mothership after the incident they hadn’t been discreet at all. "So are you going to tell anyone about being a hybrid?" He asked and felt Joshua stiffen. "You don’t have to I’m sure we are going to get enough flak as it is."

"No I want to tell them but not yet lets let them have time to adjust to an us before we bombard the world with the fact the Taelons can make anyone a hybrid." Joshua chuckled and got up. "Shall we go to bed?"

"Yeah tomorrow I’ll tell Da’an I accept the job." He smiled pulling Joshua against him for a kiss. "And hopefully the negative reaction will be kept down."

Joshua smiled. "As you said whatever happens we face it together." Liam laughed and the two headed back to the bedroom to start the first night of the rest of their life.

The End

Okay so Hybrids is finished. The Sequel Hybrids2: Unions will pick up where Hybrids left off showing how the two adjust to the world knowing about them it will also involve the Jaridians more who only got passing mention in this story.

I know I know you see Major Character death and assume I ment when Street and Renee died in the cancelled future well your wrong I ment Raven Sandy’s skrill it’s been on the show since season one after all. I don’t consider Belle a major character since she was only in the series for one ep.
