battle-verse | episode 1: world of the forgotten

Chapter 10: alone together

18 hours til project: rebirth

My POV

I was running, taking down any other of those strange men that came into my path, please still be there. I turned a corner to see something I thought I'd never see, the person I trusted the most about to attack my mom

Chronos: this has been so much fun, but I've been waiting to do this for ages

Mom: they will stop you

Chronos: who?

Mom: my son and daughter

Chronos: of course that would make sense, that's another difference between my world and yours, since you were never there, you never stopped me, they were never born

Mom: you won't win, we defeated you before, I am certain he will do so as well

Chronos: Oh dear, you won out of luck, but I'm afraid that luck is on my side

Jake: mom!

They turned over to me

Chronos: ah so this is him, too bad this will be the last you see each other, because your time is up

He touched his fingers to her head, her body turning to dust and drifting away with the wind. No no no this can't be happening, anger flared up inside me

Jake: Flairre flame on

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That kept ringing in my ears as my eyes opened

Lily: nice to see that you're still alive

I looked at the side of the bed I was on. It was her

Jake: Oh hey, you're Lily snow right?

Lily: yeah, and you're Jake Orion

Jake: well I'm glad that's one thing we know about each other

She chuckled, to be honest she was kind of cute when she laughed, wait where did that come from, I mean I admit she she was cute and her green eyes looked really pretty when light reflected off of them, Sorry I am getting off topic.

Jake: where are we anyway?

Lily: well while you were unconscious we were dragged here, now all we can do is wait until chronos plan to wipe out the whole omniverse is over

Sombra: alright one more time, one two three

I hadn't noticed it at first but yang, zarya, and Olivia were all by the door to this place, trying to kick the door open, but to no avail

Zarya: shoot, well that didn't work, any other ideas

Sombra: nope

Yang: good, then let's take a break cause my leg hurts

They sat down on the other beds in this room

Jake: hey Lily listen, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for yelling at you in chronos throne room

Lily: it's okay

How could she be so nice to me after what I did to her

Sombra: well while we are in this place let's play a little game, I think I'll call it "get to know each other". The rules are simple, you have to tell everyone the very few things you remember about yourself, I'll start, my name is Olivia colomar, I'm 30 years old,

Zarya: alright I'll bite, let's see, my name is Zarya monwolf, I'm 15 years old

Yang: not bad not bad, alright my turn, my name is Yang Xiao long, I'm 19 years old, and I have this ( points at her robotic right arm)

Lily: yeah I think we all noticed

Olivia, Zarya, and me chuckled and lilies statement

Yang: alright then, how you tell us about yourself

Lily: whatever you say blondie, my name is Lily snow, I'm 16 years old

Wait hold up, 16, she's the same age as me

Sombra: that only leaves you Jake

I wished there was something I could tell them, the problem was I couldn't remember anything, only my name and age

Jake: Oh boy umm, my name is Jake, I'm also 16 years old, and uuummmmm, I'm incredibly strong

Yang: hey wait, I got an idea, Jake you remember when you helped me back in the mess hall, you punched someone so hard that t sent him flying, so what if you were to apply that same amount of force to that door right there

I haven't even thought about it until now, if I'm strong enough to send someone flying who's to say how strong I am

Jake: that could work, alright everyone stand back

I stood in front of the door, truth be told I actually don't know if this is going to work, it could have been Just luck that I was able to do it before, I closed my eyes, focusing all my power into my left arm I successfully bust the doors to our prison open

Chrono soldier #263: prisoners, please remain in containment

Yang did a flying sweeping kick, hitting one of the soldiers in the head and knocking him into the other

Yang: I've been wanted to do that, well what are we waiting for, let's go kick chronos butt

Sombra: wait hold on, it just occurred to me that we are going to be up against like who knows how many chrono soldiers, and we're completely unarmed

That was true, if we were going to stop chronos from destroying the omniverse, we were going to need some heavy artillery

Zarya: In that case I think I might know where we can find what we are looking for, come on

We ran after Zarya who seemed to not be slowing down anytime soon

Jake: uh where are we going?

Zarya: well unlike you I was awake when they took us away, I memorized every twist and turn of this place, we are going back to chronos throne room, and we are taking back what was ours

The things inside the displays I remember now, those were our things, the stuff that made us who we are, zarya is right, we are going to take back what was ours, find chronos and kick his sorry immortal behind, that much I can promise
