Chapter 57: Revelations and Revising Plans

Friday, Jan. 23, 1987

Darren POV: (Cont’d)

Tonight, Friday, had finally arrived. Our new friends were told that tonight they were going to get ALL the inside information about our Family. Because of that, and some ‘special’ surprises they were going to be given, they knew we were going to be up there for quite a while.

Because of their recent experiences with the kids they had all realized our get-together tonight wasn’t likely to include much sexual ‘fooling around’.

I felt this was going to be perhaps the most significant step in them being made a true part of our Family.

The disappointing thing was our ‘East Coast’ brethren notified us they were embroiled in some ‘job’ things that needed their full attention and couldn’t join us. Whatever it was, they only said they weren’t at liberty to say.

I told them we planned on telling our new friends about all the ‘aliens’. Monte just asked ... no, begged us not to include anything about the CIA having any knowledge of it!?

That was going to be difficult but, I assured them we wouldn’t.

Instead of the usual ‘bar-like’ seating, Greg, Ed and I opted for a more intimate ‘loveseat lounger’ setup. Our new friends were happy with that and chose seats where they were each sitting with one of us.

I had to chuckle when Glenn wanted to sit next to me so he could ask questions easier without disturbing everyone else! I made our seat a triple so Sarah could sit between us.

Glenn really smiled when Ibera made it a quad and sat (reclined) between him and Sarah. She told him she thought he was ‘cute’ and wanted to mentally ‘join’ with him to help him better understand without even having to talk.

Yeah, Glenn was in heaven!

The only others missing were Emmy and Bill. They just didn’t want to go through possibly having to see Sally’s death again or anything that might include her in it.

They also volunteered to babysit our kids for us and wanted to be with us afterwards. I tried to tell them we were going to show many things they had never seen, but, that didn’t seem to matter.

What DID surprise everyone was when Lenny, Iris, Dan, Beth, Craig and Ellie showed up! Lenny asked if it was okay if the rest of the parents came, knowing what we planned on showing everyone tonight was monumental and they’d never seen any of it before.

Greg admitted he’d ‘spilled the beans’ to his Dad and hoped it would be okay. Lenny told us the parents had told Craig and Ellie about our ‘beginnings’ so not to worry about having to cover that again.

We told him that was fine, but, now we had to introduce everyone so our 9 friends would know who everyone was. (I also knew that Monte’s request would definitely have to be followed now!)

Sooo ... since Greg, Ed and Ibera were already in my head, we started with showing how little CJ was healed when he was just a fetus and his subsequent ties to Zeus.

I felt this event was fundamental for everyone to understand why all of the kids were so advanced. From there, I quickly went through all of the events leading up to Charlie reacquiring his abilities. Greg was helping me and quickly went through some of the more humorous and important things that happened so everyone would know the extent of the abilities Charlie had acquired this time around.

Previously, we had stopped just before the whole gang arrested the Normistronzo’s. So, we started by showing each of the arrests and the subsequent rescuing of all the sexually abused kids. Ibera told me to skip over where the six ‘healers’ had died. We did however, show them the beginning and ending where all the angels were quickly healing all the kids.

Several of the parents seemed to be the most interested having never before understood that Charlie, Mary, Linda, Jessica, Jamie and Emmy were now all healers themselves.

I did stop and remind everyone that all of this was included in their ‘Confidentiality Agreement’ and could never be discussed with anyone not up here with us at this time.

This also worked well since now even if some of them were to guess that Monte was involved with the aliens, at this point, they wouldn’t be able to even question him about it.

When we arrived at the point where I wanted to show them how all the different prisoners were sent to Perdition Island, I stopped and explained we were going to back up a bit. I further explained that was because at this point in time Greg was still trapped in his wormhole.

Thankfully, it was only a few of the parents who didn’t understand about Greg, since we already explained to our new friends roughly what happened. So, at that point I backed up again to show them Bob and Greg’s first trip through the wormhole.

I had to chuckle to myself as I could tell that Glenn was asking Ibera a shit load of questions already. I was surprised when she assured Glenn to just watch for now because she had a very special surprise for him later.

I’m not sure, but it almost seemed like Glenn may have cum in his pants!

We quickly showed Bob’s first encounter with the Trilok named Sintar. This time, however, thanks to Ibera’s ‘Magic’ everyone heard everything that was being said or thought. This was important so they would understand how the Triloks were involved with kidnapping Bob, Mary and CJ.

We took a short break after that.

It seemed everyone wanted to talk about the existence of aliens since this was the first time any of them had ever seen one. I couldn’t believe just how captivated everyone was and they soon quieted down and wanted me to continue on.

We showed everything that happened during that fateful trip where Bob, Mary and CJ were kidnapped.

We stopped right after Charlie had mistakenly rushed into the wormhole. They listened intently when Ibera had explained to Lenny and everyone that was there exactly what had happened. Ibera then zoomed out to show them the Gromorik spaceship that had kidnapped our family members.

At this point, all of the newbie’s minds had been completely blown.

Many wanted to see what a Gromorik looked like. I told them that that time would come soon enough and to just be patient for now.

Next, we showed a little bit about all the prisoners and how they initially grouped up. I showed them how Franklin thought he had duped Ibera into giving him a Treyukravat when in reality, she had done it willingly.

I completely skipped over the part where I told Monte about Franklin getting the Treyukravat and he gave everyone his dire message. I knew I was going to have to skip over other parts with Monte but it would now allow me to show others. I wanted to be especially sure to highlight events about our four ‘newest’ members who would eventually be coming.

When I offered to stop before going into how some of the prisoners were reacting to their new situation, I was surprised that everyone wanted to continue on.

So I continued.

I showed them everything about how they got there and what they got to take with them. Everyone, it seemed, was either relieved or thankful that Lola and her daughters were given next to nothing. I noticed that Glenn now had his arm around Ibera and told her that those fucking bitches had it coming. That sentiment was echoed by nearly everyone, especially the parents.

I decided to show them Charlie’s interview with Mario and his siblings. I also showed what Monte and Rex had told all of them about the Boy Scout manual Mario had requisitioned. I felt this was a good way to let them know that at least Monte and Rex, at this point, knew everything that was going on with the prisoners.

When Jim asked me how our government allowed us to do this to them I had to think on my reply for a minute.

That’s when Lenny spoke up and explained how he had taken up the persona of Jonah and that a select few of the legal establishment were made fully aware of what we had done. He also stressed this part needed to be kept a strict secret since it was not exactly public knowledge.

That’s when I also explained that what was about to happen with all the prisoners was going to become a social experiment of biblical proportions.

I showed them clips of Brad and Brenda, explaining how they were chronicling all of the events that were happening with the prisoners. And also how JB and I fit into the picture.

Again, I offered to pause, but was persuaded to continue on. We slow fast-forwarded segments showing each of the different groups of prisoners and their first experiences on their new island home. Needless to say, there were many laughs when I started out showing Elmer and his band of buffoons and how they totally screwed themselves their very first day. The general consensus was, the arrogant suckers had it coming.

Next, I showed Blaine and his group’s initial landing and their discovery of their caves. I also pointed out that this group was the only one told the truth about this planet and the fact that it rotated the opposite direction that Earth did around it’s Sun. Many positive comments were made about how all eight of them worked as a team from the giddyup.

I decided to show them how Lonnie and Lucy’s group started. Ibera let us zoom in so everyone could hear what they were planning on doing as soon as they could figure out how to make oars for their boat. It was obvious they all understood this group was nothing but a band of cut throats.

When I showed them how Franklin’s group acted, initially, upon their arrival I was glad to see that the majority realized that Franklin, Humbacker and AL Hunt were nothing but ignorant, lazy fools.

Everyone freaked out when they saw the giant Condor abduct Annie!

When the Condor came back and was then wounded and forced to flee they all initially cheered. Then, they were absolutely stunned when they witnessed Annie’s unexpected act of kindness as she tried to tend to her wounded abductor. They were captivated when they witnessed Max advocating immediately going after Annie. They were reluctant when I said we needed to move on and I showed them Mario’s group and their initial landing. They were impressed that they were nearly as organized as Blaine’s group was.

Again, when they witnessed little Lolita also getting abducted by the Condor they were even more freaked out.

They began asking how many more people were going to get abducted when Ibera giggled, “I honestly did not know those big birds were there. Do you remember those two cute Chihuahuas that I sent the girls in Blaine’s group? Keep watching, you’ll soon discover how I intended to rectify the situation.”

There were many raised eyebrows when Ed, Greg and I all started laughing. Ed just chuckled, “Sorry, I’ve seen this before but I’m not gonna say anything since I don’t want to ruin the surprise.”

Ibera giggled, looking at Ed, “Will you hush up, Eddie? This is where the story gets very interesting!”

Since everyone was captivated, the next thing I showed was Lolita and Annie’s meeting in the nest. I could tell everyone was getting nervous when they began plotting a possible escape. Especially when I had zoomed out to show them just how precarious their location was. It only got worse when we watched them trying to climb down only to slip, causing both of them to plummet nearly 200 feet to the next landing.

That’s when Ibera told me to stop so everyone could catch their breath and get ready for what was going to happen next.

Everyone took a minute to get something to drink since we’d already been here for over two hours and I told them we were really just getting started.

Greg and I both knew they were going to be shocked to the core when they saw what happened next. Due to Ibera’s magic, everyone got to see how JB and I were all in a panic and begged Linda to come with us to try and help them. I swear, all of the parents and our friends’ eyes were looking at Linda in wonder.

Linda just smiled at them and said, “Please understand, I was already starting to fall in love with JB. The way the two of them were so upset, I just couldn’t let them down.”

Before anything more could be said I showed them the three of us jumping into the wormhole headed to Perdition Island. Many of our friends had tears in their eyes as they watched Linda heal the two badly injured girls. Lolita and Annie’s heartfelt ‘thank you’ didn’t go unnoticed either. That’s when I showed them how Max was leading the rescue effort, trying to find Annie.

I also felt I had to show them JB’s interaction with Annie and my interaction with Lolita.

At first, some of our friends were snickering at me until I cautioned them that I had a reason for that. I also made sure that they saw Max’s instant belief that Linda really was an angel. She even made it a point to tell everyone just how touched she was at Max’s total acceptance. She further explained that this was also the beginning of how she was gradually developing feelings for Max.

I knew we had to move on so we showed them how JB and I had gone around alerting everyone to the presence of those giant Condor’s. And, how that directly lead to Franklin’s ill-advised pleading to get Lonnie and Lucy’s group incorporated with theirs.

I almost forgot that I needed to show everyone Ibera’s special gift to Lolita and Annie. Their two little Chihuahua friends. Everyone was touched by Ibera’s kindness, even though they, as yet, had no idea what those little cuties could do!

When they saw how Lonnie, Sly and Josh killed Franklin, Sam, AL Hunt and Howard Humbacker they gasped. Then, when they were going after Max they cheered as Tiny turned against them and stabbed Josh in the back.

I decided to let the next part play out in its entirety.

Then, Slick (Sly Willum) threw a bamboo spear, hitting Tiny’s thigh, toppling him to the ground in pain. “BLEED you fucking bleeding heart! Now, we will kill ALL of these fools and take Annie as our bitch! Max, you cannot stop us!”

Annie smirked, “Oh yeah? Well, WE have an Athena! Drop your blades or face her wrath!”

Slick let out a maniacal laugh, “OHHH, I’m SO AFRAID of a tiny little dog!”

Athena then ran off, into the forest.

Just when everyone was wondering where she ran off to, a spine-chilling, deep throated growl came from right behind Slick.

When he spun around, the grin vanished as he was now face-to-face with a 7-foot tall, 400 Lb. Athena! When Slick started swinging his sword at her, a long flame from Athena’s nose totally incinerated him in less than a second.

(That had everyone cheering!)

Max now laughed, “Athena, sweetie, show our other two adversaries how it feels, only, try making them ‘medium-rare’ instead of well done?”

Lucinda and Lonnie both threw their swords into the weeds and put their hands up, “NO, please have mercy!”

Finally, Ibera started giggling so hard she had to tell everyone, “I sent Annie and Lolita their little friends because I knew they needed to have a protector there. That seven-foot hell hound actually was little Athena! Oh, and that fire-breathing dragon? That was little Zeus!”

There were about 30 sets of perfect ‘O’s’ as they were now all grinning at Ibera.

I explained how Max didn’t kill Lonnie and Lucy, but DID cut off his right hand!

Since we’d been up here for almost 6 hours now, I suggested we all take a nap before continuing.

Our nine new friends were grinning while most of the parents were wondering if they were going home.

There was nothing but smiles when everyone suddenly realized we were instantly in the biggest communal bedroom they’d ever seen!

And everyone was now naked, or as Greg would say, ‘nekkid’, and many delightful parings were soon formed.’

I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that Ibera had talked Glenn into being her partner tonight!

I immediately embraced Linda, mostly just to be sure she wouldn’t be accidentally left alone. We were both delighted when Greg, Jamie, Ed and Sarah wanted to join us. When Jamie and Sarah immediately paired up, a giggling Linda asked, “Gee boys, looks that I’ll have to take care of all three of you all by myself ... Again!”

Yeah, after some highly erotic (and acrobatic) intense sexual escapades I did manage to get a nap. I just wondered if anyone else did!?

We laughed when we noticed that Glenn was sound asleep still balls deep in a slumbering Ibera!

As everyone slowly woke up, Ibera kissed Glenn awake before suggesting everyone should get some ‘breakfast’.

One of the parents asked, “Awww, do we need to put clothes on for that?”

Ibera giggled, “Of course not!” Then everyone found themselves in the nude, in Ibera’s dining room and whatever they wanted soon was in front of them.

I told them, “There’s still a lot more to show everyone. We haven’t even gotten to the really good parts yet! As soon as everyone finishes eating we’ll reconvene in those nice lounge seats.”

I found it amusing that some of our friends had paired up with some of the parents. Most notably, Carl with Mary’s mom, JoAnn and Marian with Lenny!

Glenn sheepishly asked if anyone minded if he stayed with Ibera. Ibera giggled, “Hey stud, you’re staying with me! I haven’t given you your surprise yet!”

Glenn looked stunned, “You haven’t? I thought, you know ... last night was my surprise?”

Ibera kissed him, “You’re sweet, Glenn, but no, your real surprise is yet to come!”

“Whoa, is it even better than last night!???”

Greg chortled loudly, “Oh Buddy, if it’s what I think it is, you ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet!”

Ibera’s wink told us all we needed to know.

I reminded everyone of their ‘Confidentiality Consequence’ then continued.

I resumed by showing everyone how Max, Annie and Jasmine had accepted Tiny into their group while grudgingly allowing a repentant Lucy and ‘one-handed’ Lonnie to remain with them.

Everyone was curious how Annie was able to communicate telepathically with little Athena. Ibera told them that all four of the little dogs were in fact canine catalysts and could convey basic telepathic abilities simply by licking someone’s nose.

I reminded everyone that at this point no one knew that; and only Annie currently figured out she had the ability to communicate with Athena. I showed how Max and Tiny had really bonded together and began building a sail for their boat. Everyone saw how they had reorganized all their tools after requisitioning everything that Lonnie’s group previously had. The most important items being, the pieces of perforated angle iron. They thought it was ingenious the way Max used them to put their sail together.

As soon as Max and his friends took off on their maiden voyage, we switched to show everyone what Marek’s group had been up to.

I made a point to show how Chen had been invited to join them and had basically fallen in love with the fact that Shawn Peters had coffee and a coffee pot.

They watched as the four of them began paddling their boat North, basically just to see what all was in the area. They saw their encounter with Elmer’s brother, Vincent and how they were forced to fight them off, killing Vincent in the process. Then, at that point, not wanting anyone to see them going back toward their own area, decided to keep rowing North around the north end of the island.

We all watched their encounter with Blaine and some of his group. Many were impressed with the way all of them seemed to get along. Especially, when Marek and Chen informed Blaine they may have inadvertently led Elmer’s group to his area.

I felt it was important at this point that everyone understood how the ‘Island Family’ began coming together.

I found it interesting that several of our newest friends were convinced that Chen had really turned over a new leaf. They were paying rapt attention when Blaine’s dogs, Zeus and Hera went running to the beach where everyone saw Max’s sailboat for the first time. Many were amazed the way Max’s group were welcomed. They giggled when Ibera let everyone hear the way little Athena was talking to Zeus and Hera.

Then, when all three dogs alerted everyone to Mario’s group now rowing this way. Again it was humorous as everyone heard the three dogs getting excited that Athena’s little brother, Apollo was on their boat!

After all the introductions were made I wanted to be sure they could see when Max discovered that Chen was there. Everyone could see Chen’s eyes light up when Max told him about Franklin’s little gizmo that was supposedly able to communicate with an alien species, known as Gromoriks. Then, since Max didn’t have it with him, for fear of losing it, how Marek and Chen’s group ended up merging with Max’s group.

Then, all of a sudden, all four dogs began going crazy and running into the woods.

When everyone saw how Zeus had alerted Annie to the approach of Marcella and a bunch of Elmer’s thugs they knew things were about to get interesting. At this point I just told everyone that when all the girls had gotten together, Annie and Lolita had explained to Naomi and Meredith how they could understand what the dogs were saying.

Ibera made sure to show everyone the exact encounter, especially when Marcella kicked little Hera causing Zeus to turn into a 10 foot firebreathing dragon. Even though it was terrifying, nearly everyone up here were laughing their asses off and cheering when Zeus singed all the hair off of Marcella and her accomplices. It only got worse when Zeus snatched Marcella and brought her over to Blaine.

It was at that point that Blaine first realized he could actually hear what Zeus was saying. And that his voice sounded just like James Earl Jones.

We quickly went through from there showing how Marcella appeared to have been totally enthralled with little Hera after apologizing for kicking her. Then, how Markus and Sonny were so amazed they offered to go back to Elmer’s area with their mother.

Our friends up here were so entrenched in the story they were all commenting on whether or not Sonny and Markus were making a mistake going back with her.

While not wanting to say, it was apparent our chuckling was telling them that there was more going on than meets the eye.

We quickly went over all the events that led to Max’s group fully integrating with Marek’s group. Including the humorous way that Chen discovered little Athena was actually a canine catalyst. Many were actually scoffing Lonnie when he adamantly refused to let Athena lick his nose. Especially, since everyone else already had and were now all talking telepathically, leaving Lonnie completely in the dark.

That was important so everyone could see the way Athena was able to give Chen and Annie telekinesis and then TK. From there, they saw how Max communicated with Naomi and Blaine, making sure it was okay that they move themselves up to their area to be closer to them. Right after that they saw how they were more than happily accepted, I told everyone about how each of the dogs could give two people additional abilities.

I explained the many more of the things that happened but quickly made my way to when Elmer’s sisters and his thugs tried to kill Lonnie and Lucy. At first they thought they may have had it coming. So, I had to back up and show them Lucy and Lonnie’s entire adventure together so they could see the two of them had started to change.

They couldn’t believe it when all of the new people that had acquired psychic abilities sprang into action after Zeus and Hera had rescued Lonnie and Lucy. They were amazed the way little Apollo was a canine healer and helped them. I knew they were all starting to understand when they saw the way that Lucy and Lonnie tearfully thanked Apollo, Zeus and Hera for saving their lives.

We hurried through showing them the rest until we got up to the point where Chen opened the Treyukravat and realized that there were Gromoriks on this planet. Glenn’s eyes were like pie plates at this point and was holding onto Ibera for dear life. Not to say, that everyone else wasn’t now totally engrossed in the story and didn’t want to hear it when I suggested we take a break.

Eddie was chuckling, telling me he couldn’t believe that it seemed like everyone here was even more engrossed in the story than he had been the first time. Especially Glenn.

Roger asked Ibera why she gave the prisoners all that amazing stuff.

She said it was because she knew; A) These people were now facing dangers of great significance, and B) they had proved they were truly working and coming together far better than anyone had expected. And C) She felt by helping them she hoped to possibly get help by using them to get information about the Gromorik ship Bob, Mary and CJ were on.

I chuckled, adding, “And our sweet Ibera has a very soft heart!” That received many chuckles and a nice smile from Ibera to me.

I wondered about showing them Annie and Chen’s first trip to the mainland but went ahead and did it anyway. I felt they needed to see how Annie and Chen embraced their new friends and how they went out of their way to free the 40 some slaves they ran across.

Several of our friends enjoyed watching Zeus bar-b-que those evil birds, too.

Next I showed them how Chen and Zeus screwed up by opening the device that Chen had swiped from the Gromorik guards. They couldn’t believe how that psychic neutralizer almost killed Chen, Blaine, Naomi, Max, and Steve. They were surprised again when JB and I convinced Linda to make yet another emergency trip to the island with us.

They could also see how Max was becoming enthralled with Linda, now calling her ‘His Angel’.

It even surprised me when Linda told everyone it was at this point that she really began developing feelings for Max just in the way he totally believed in her.

They were curious as to why Monte, Maggie and some of their friends came with us, to do some investigating of their own.

Then I had to explain about the ‘magic pills’ that Lars had given us. They were flabbergasted as I explained exactly what they did. Many of them became extremely aroused as, thanks to Ibera’s magic, they heard many of the connections that were being made.

Especially how Linda joined with Max.

I think Linda was embarrassed hearing her most intimate thoughts with Max coming to light. I flashed her, privately, to let her know I felt this was necessary for what was about to happen when JB, Max and company eventually bring their spaceship back to Earth.

She ended up thanking me for doing that for her.

Most of them got a kick out of Chen’s dismay when he unwittingly decided to hook up with first Annie, then Maggie. Again, it was only humorous because we actually got to hear everything that was going through each of their minds.

We briefly showed how JB, I, Chen and George were made catalysts.

Lenny was befuddled how, with Chen’s past, Zeus ever made him a catalyst. I just winked at Lenny and said, “Keep watching ‘Pops’ you’re gonna love what happens later.”

That got me a grin and a wink in return.

I explained how at this point, many of these prisoners were becoming almost like our friends as so many of us had joined with so many of them.

They were all on the edges of their seats when Monte and his friends assisted Annie, Max and Chen in rescuing their red-skinned friends’ children and friends from the Gromorik mothership.

They had previously been dismayed at the extreme violence Monte had used against the Gromorik guards. However, upon seeing the way that one Gromorik was torturing that little girl, those that felt that way immediately changed their tune.

They were beginning to see that the majority of the Gromoriks were ruthless thugs, willing to do anything to get what they wanted. They were soon amazed, however, when they saw how Chen used his mind control to convince the Gromorik’s head honcho he wanted to be their friend.

Just as they were wondering why he did that, they saw how Ibera helped by giving them the ‘BBD’ about a different planet with almost unlimited resources that they needed. They also witnessed Chen’s failed attempt to get information about our captives. They applauded him for trying and began to understand why finding them was now going to be extremely difficult.

They were astounded again at Annie’s ingenuity in helping to rescue all the trapped miners. They laughed like hell when Maggie turned into a 10-foot Wicked Witch of the West. I told them how JB and I assisted by Spirit walking into the cave so Annie could teleport in to the Native we identified for her.

We took a short break at this point for some refreshments and so I could further explain that what was coming next was going to be very shocking. I didn’t really want to show them JB’s ‘lightning bolt’ attack, but felt I had to so they would understand how he used those later.

Everyone was fascinated when Sheila took it upon herself to actually communicate with the Gromorik named Tumrik and managed to really pull his chain. We had to explain to everyone how Sheila, using her photographic memory, was able to learn the Gromorik’s language.
