"Agreed..." Dragon Fist nodded in acknowledgement to Knight Errant. "Which is why 2K's plan has some merit."

"We need everyone here in this room to make the trip unless some are going to stay behind. I advise against the latter though. The same amount of guards may be present back then." 2k paused, thinking about the speculations. "I was here a while before all of you arrived but I didn't have enough energy to manage the traps for each guard they had. From what I first saw, it didn't look like they had many guards until I started patrolling the place."

"Everybody meet up here, so we can make the time-jump," Dragon Fist said. "I realize this may be out of the ordinary, but the documents those people have could do some real damage if they were to make use of them."

  Andy materialized in his human-looking form, arching one eyebrow as he said "I'm not sure how well time travel works for some of us.  I know we have one naturally gifted time traveler, but she's not here right now."

2k's ears perked up to hearing of another time traveler. "Hmmm... Another time traveler like me? I'd like to meet this person one day but at another time. So you're coming with us....?" 2k paused in questioning for he didn't know his name.

  Andy said "You may call me Andy, or Gargoyle.  And she's not precisely like you.  She's a naturally gifted time-traveller.  And immune to temporal paradox."

"I see. I'm Detective Othniel James Goodman. You can call me James but commonly, it's 2kReturner. That's what they called me in the universe I came from." 2k paused, then added to Andy's mentioning of a temporal paradox. "Yeah, I've been their many times myself. Not a good feeling especially when you KNOW how things are supposed to be and what it is because of an "anomaly" created by someone."

  Andy nodded, and asked him "Do you WANT me to page Bella?  She's . . .very good at time-jumping, if we need it.  Her operational limits, from what she's said, is NORMALLY about six months."

2k smiled and nodded. "That would be good. The more that come with us, the more chances we have at subduing the badguy."

  Andy nodded, and sent a message over the mindworm net.

  Bella arrived, landing neatly outside and walking in.  She looked like a pretty normal sixteen year old with a great figure, and dressed in a midnight blue leotard with iridescent watery blue stripes down the sides.  She said "Uncle Andy paged me?  What's up?"

"We need some help in the time-travelling aspect," Dragon Fist replied, nodding at Bella. "2K can explain.."

"I'm on board too," Icepick added.

2k listened to the two converse, lost in his own thoughts, he remembered the "family" that he had. In one, he was an uncle. But in his current time line, he had a wife and child. Remembering her in past tense, made him cover his mouth in grief. All he had was his daughter... Where ever in the Space-time continuum she was. Ironically, in the dimension that he was an uncle, his niece and daughter had the same name as his first cousin and sister in another.

"Nina..." 2k thought to himself. He brought himself to, enraged by Lunningham's words on the day he couldn't save his wife:

"You think your a god with that temporal tech of yours but your not. Just like I stopped you from sniffing out Ivon back at the TTA HQ years ago, I will prevent YOU from saving your beloved Zahra. * Maniacal laughter* Sucks to be you!"

That day brought both joy and pain to Othniel. The joy of seeing both brain children of Lunningham, the Space Juggernaut known as Lainhardt Omega and Katie Evanston meet their end. Though Katie was dealt with by humanoid means, L.O could not. The ship was made solely out of the impenetrable Urelite mineral... No way in but many ways out. Furthermore, L.O. was time-jump proof. What was more, Lunningham had kidnapped his wife and child but in the end, Othniel's wife, Zahra was able to disconnect the jammer and allowed him and his friends to get on board and send L.O. to its death inside a singularity. In the escape, Nina was sucked into a transdimensional vortex created by L.O trying to time jump out of the black hole.

"She's the reason I keep on traveling. I will find her." Othniel thought, recalling of his journey.

Zahra's death wasn't in vain. It was most definitely a sacrifice. A rather UNEXPECTED maneuver. Yet the stalemate meant the end of Lunningham and Ivon... In the current timeline. Unlike the numerous of times Lunningham and Ivon had robotic clones of themselves, this time, they were the real deal.

The last time Othniel saw Nina he couldn't recognize her. Mainly because the STC had put age on her. The moment Bella appeared, he saw a translucent figure of his daughter next to her. Othniel closed his eyes and shook his head at the "hallucination". When he opened his eyes, the image was gone.


That's when Dragon Fist mentioned 2k. The detective snapped out of it but didn't address him. His eyes were on Bella.

"Y-You're back? *ahem* I mean... Sorry, you remind me much of my daughter. You and her about the same height and age. She's a time traveler too. The problem is, she's lost somewhere in the STC. *ahem* Anyway, if we jump back far enough, we will be able to get into this area before they arrive. I couldn't use my temporal imaging to track them because they have a jammer that prevents me from doing so. Yet I DID sense the operator's NOOBISH skills. If it was GOOD jammer, it would of made my equipment not even show static. Which means that this jammer is the BEST they've got. Normally, the time criminals I've dealth with would have a jammer that extends into the STC. This type of jammer would make ANY time-jump into the area impossible and would extend its "blocking" capabilities to covering a period of time. Say several months to say the least."

  Bella arched one eyebrow, and said "So to speak.  I'm technically here before I exist.  Now, how much of a timejump are you looking to perform?  I don't USE any sort of machinery.  My timejumps are innate, and I, personally, am totally immune to temporal paradox."  At six foot four, she was an impressively tall woman, and he could tell she was still young.

"Ah, innate temporal powers... My daughter has the same! Yet my wife and I had gadgets to do so until the nanite injects were invented. The time jump will be several hours before now. That's how long ago it was before the "bulk" of the army arrived."

  Bella nodded, and said "Well, you may want to make sure you're well hidden before you jump backwards, in case you miscalculate."

"Makes since. Where I first came in was by Mr. Witness and Meg. There wasn't any troops in that area when I arrived. And when time jumping in this timeline, I noticed that I DON'T see myself after doing so. Which means that everyone with us won't see their past selves either. That's how TTA designed their temporal technology. Less Paradoxal. Yet the gadgets ALWAYS had a bug in it. The more that time jumped together, the more "anomalies" there would be. When the the nanite injections came, the anomalies were non-existent."

  Bella shook her head, and said "I'll jump myself.  I can hide and make certain it's clear.  Do you have a temporal transmitter to let me notify you in this when that it's clear to jump backwards?"

2k nodded. He held out his hand and a small ball of energy formed. A few seconds later, it turned into a bluetooth ear piece. He handed it to her. "Here ya go."

  Bella smiled, and said "Thanks.  I'm good at this.  This is a short jump."  She took the earpiece, adding "And don't worry, they can't HURT me, and they won't find me."  She floated into the air, rising up to the ceiling and disappearing behind a hologram (he couldn't tell precisely how she generated that either).

2k watched as Bella disappeared. He then looked around, anticipating for Meg, Witness, and the others to show up.

  Bella got herself perfectly camouflaged, then timejumped.

  Bella timejumped with the perfect accuracy she'd developed through years of practice, and appeared when she'd jumped to, a full hours previous.  She waited, perfectly still, hidden behind the hologram that she had made for camouflage.  Not breathing or making a sound.

At the corner of her eye, Bella saw a guard get thrown into the wall. If she looked closer, she saw a lady made of pure energy knocking out several guards. When Bella arrived, the lady was strangle holding the last one by the neck from a far with telekinesis. Right before he would've taken his last breath, she threw him backward into the wall, knocking him out.
