Kay War of the Titans - Conclusion (*slash*) For disclaimer and such, see part one. Thanks for all your support! HAPPY NEW YEAR! ******************************************************************** ~MARCUS' POV~ My eyes widen as I watch Austin reach for the button. I use my powers to slow him, as my hand wraps around his wrist crushing it instantly, but that doesn't stop him. He surprises even me as he whirls around and with his other hand slams down hard on the button setting in motion a mixture of blinking red lights and warning alarms. "NO!" I scream, thinking of Adam and my child. Austin laughs. He fucking laughs. I reach for him and with all my power I am choking him, lifting him up off the ground, enjoying as he gasps for air and his limbs frail around helplessly. My fury is too great to stop. "Marcus, stop!" Kurt screams as he enters the room, prying my hand from around Austin's neck, allowing him to drop in a heap to the floor. Much to my dismay the bastard still lives. Bret enters the room and his eyes widen as he sees what has happened. "I'm too late," he whispers. I look at the monitors. The weapon is locking in on Earth's position. I use my sorcerer powers to stop it, but it's too late. The weapon fires it's laser beam that shoots away from us at the speed of light, just as I destroy the machine. My heart breaks. All is lost. Forgive me Adam....... ~RAVEN'S POV~ I know what I have to do. It's been my destiny since I was born. Some people are born to greatness. Some become leaders, while others become slaves. Some are heroes, and some are sacrifices. You might say that I'm a combination of the latter two. I was born for this exact moment. My death will save the lives of millions. To insure that I wouldn't die alone, my God has given me her. Together, we will spend eternity reaping the benefits of our sacrifice. We will be heroes. In a sense, we will never die. Our names will be spoken for thousands of years among our people. I look at Nidia, and she smiles back at me. I take her hand into mine. "Are you sure you want to do this," I ask. She is so beautiful and full of life. "I am your bride. Of my own freewill, I chose to follow you into death and the long journey that awaits us." "Together, forever," I whisper to her as I see the flaming light headed directly for us. I power up the ship, arming all weapons. My ship isn't the largest in the universe, but it is packing enough explosives to stop the ball of fire that hurls toward Earth. "Raven," Lita growls from an approaching fighter. "Lita, you must leave now!" I yell at her. "Not until I had a word with the bitch that stole you from me," she hisses. "Lita, you are in danger. Leave!" Nidia screams. The light is closer. I can feel the heat. Nidia looks at me and shakes her head. We both know that Lita has no time to escape her impending death. Nidia squeezes my hand tight. "See you on the other side." "I'll be waiting," I whisper. We close our eyes as Lita's screams fill the waves of our com link. I gasp as a sudden blast of heat hits us and then........... ~KURT'S POV~ I watch as the weapon disappears on the monitor. "What happened?" Marcus asked as he wiped his forehead, relieved that something had stopped the beam before it reached earth. "It hit something," I whisper, silently wondering who the unlucky souls were. "NO!" Austin gasps, still clutching his throat. Marcus whirled around and looked down at him. He waved his hand over Austin's head. For a moment, I was worried that he would kill him or turn him into a frog or something. It was then that I realized what he had done. He had taken Austin's voice away. Austin tried to scream but no sound would come out. Not even a squeak. Marcus looked at Bret and me. "What do you want to do with him? We must arrange an alliance between the Titans once again." Bret lowers his head. He knows that Austin wasn't always like this. "Yes, but we can't kill him," he whispers. I nod in agreement. "Can you take away the hate inside of him?" I ask. Marcus frowns. "You love him?" I look up at him. "Yes." Marcus grins. "So be it." I jump as Marcus disappears. "Wait!" I scream. Bret and I look at each other in confusion. "Who are you?" Austin asks innocently as he looks at me. "Kurt," I whisper. "What's my name?" Austin asks. "Austin." I now understand that Marcus took his complete memory. All that is left is an newborn Austin in a man's body. I smile as I cuddle the shivering man in my arms. "It will be alright." Bret nods as he assumes control of the Alliance. ~BRET'S POV~ Things are going to change around here. First off, I'm signing a treaty with the Ministry. I don't care about Vince and his corrupt and warped sense of reality. To me, he's just as bad as Austin and he's going down. At least he doesn't have the fire power to destroy a whole planet like Austin did. Dangerous men like them should never be allowed to assume powers of position. ~~~~~~~~SIX MONTHS LATER~~~~~~~~~ ~BENOIT'S POV~ I smile as Chris snuggles in close to me. Our bodies fit together perfectly. Since our little crash landing on that uncharted planet, a lot has changed. The Alliance and Ministry signed a treaty and we are a powerful force to be feared. Vince still refuses to sign a treaty with us, but I think he's close to giving in, after all, we control all the trade routes around Earth and the Federation pilots refuse to fight us. Second, Chris and I are happily married now. He even joined the Alliance. He said he did it for me, but I know deep down that he still resents the Federation for using him. Oh well, their lost. My gain. Definitely my gain. ~JERICHO'S POV~ I never thought that I could feel this loved. He's told me every single day that he loves me. Let me tell you, he shows it, too. Damn, I can't image any man more loving and caring. I'm where I belong. ~LANCE'S POV~ I smile as I watch Bret blush as I introduce him to my family as my mate. My mom has fallen in love with him and I have to practically drag her away from him. My mom has heard about the newest discovery about the males of Stratus and she is so happy. She is telling Bret that she wants all boys. "But we don't know if Lance is capable yet," Bret quickly retorts, winking at me. I close my eyes. No! I don't want to end up like Jason. Although the doctor has told me that it's a 98% chance that I will. I look at Bret and see the glimmer of hope in his eyes. Fuck. I'm doomed. ~MARCUS' POV~ I watch as Adam and Jason chatter endlessly about baby things. They are so beautiful together. I can't believe that I once almost destroyed Jason. I watch in amusement as my son kicks his legs and turns his head as Adam tries to wipe his dirty face, the look of annoyance is written all over his face. Even at this early age, he is defiant. One thing about sorcerer infants, they are very different from human ones. A sorcerer infant understands everything that is said and is smarter than any mortal, but he is still too small to care for himself, thus the annoyance begins. Just as Adam finally gets him clean, little Mark spits up again. "Mark Joseph Calloway!" Adam growls in frustration, as he tries to clean him once again. That's my boy. ~GLENN'S POV~ I feel Adam's frustration and it is soon joined by Jason's. It isn't long before Marcus and I are holding the babies as Adam and Jason disappear. Marcus looks down at little Mark. "I think you need to give mommy a break, little one." A frown slides across the baby's face and he gurgles excitably. "I know, he treats you like a baby. But let's face it, you are," Marcus continues, his voice firm. Little Mark smiles. "That's it. Be nice to mommy," Marcus whispers, knowing that Adam hates to be called mommy. Both him and the baby continue to communicate silently, until Marcus frowns. "Really? Mommy's cycle started?" I watch as Marcus' eyes lustfully roam over to where Adam is standing. Adam should have known better than to let little Mark hear his conversations with Jason. I smile as I look down at little Angelicia. She would always be my angel. Although I wanted a boy like Marcus, I'm beginning to think that Angelicia is smarter. I never believed it before, me being male and all, but it is said that a sorceress is more powerful and intelligent. She giggles and gurgles as she tells me that Mark is such a whimp. I remind her that he has his father's temper and that she shouldn't provoke him. She frowns and I gasp as she tells me to get off my large ass and go make her a sister or a brother. I'm surprised to find that both Adam and Jason share the same cycle. I'll be damned. ~JEFF'S POV~ I smile at my lover as he lustfully stares at me. We were married two months ago in a private ceremony. After he betrayed me on that planet six months ago by stunning me, he had to beg and plead before I allowed him near me again. Matt giggles as he watches us. We are all together, but Jeff and I can never legally marry Matt, so we keep our relationship a secret. Only one or two others know that we are a threesome. Matt's giggles stop as Rob and I suddenly pounce on top of him, pinning him to the bed. ~HUNTER'S POV~ I thought I would die six months ago, but here I stand, hand in hand with the love of my life. We stare at the huge monument. A tall brooding male stands in the middle surrounded by two beautiful females. Raven, Nidia, and Lita had saved the Earth from certain destruction. Their sacrifice allowed millions to live. The seers had been furious when Lita was added to the monument, but she was there. According to the seers, Raven and Nidia were born to save the Earth. They had seen their own deaths before it occurred. Hunter wondered about their final thoughts as the huge fireball raced towards them. Were they scared? He shivered and was immediately hugged tighter by Rocky. "You alright?" Rocky asked concerned. "Thanks to them," Hunter whispered, silently thanking the three heroes. ~NIDIA'S POV~ As I watch the two men stare at our monument, I know that we didn't die in vain. I can see the love in their eyes. A love that would have died six months ago if it wasn't for our sacrifice. As for Lita, well she's not with us. It seems she had to see the devil about a few past indiscretions. Who am I kidding? She was a bad, bad girl. "Nidia?" Raven calls to me. "Coming my love," I whisper, smiling as I disappear back into the mist. Life goes on. ~THE END~ |
