Begin Again : Chapter 24- Dystopia

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

Atlas swung his sword around and smashed ROB-E's armor.

ROB-E's head creaked as he turned to look at the sword, "Shame.... The sword of a demon has long been made useless against humans and plumbots"

"Your attacks are worthless"

Atlas struck his legs again, only having the sword clang against ROB-E's metal body.

"We are done here, correct boss?"

Atlas glared and lowered his sword

"I apologize Leefah....."

Leefah stared silently. "They... they murdered that man...."

Atlas looked over. "Death is something you should be expecting from now on... I can already tell the outcome of what's coming.... Though I hope I'm just wrong"

Leefah stood wobbly.

"He.... He had a child..... Where is it..."

"I'm not sure...."

Leefah's face burst into tears. "I.... I wasn't strong enough.... I couldn't stop them...."

Atlas looked at her silently.

Atlas gently picked Leefah up.

"Miss Leefah, please try to calm down... we are heading back to the estate...."

Leefah's head rolled back, "Funny...."

"In the future the sky began to change...."

"But here..... It's the same..."

"One man died, and the world looks just the same...."

"God, They still haven't picked up the basket.... I left this here hours ago and this is what I get..."

She turned around, "What's that...."

The portal began emitting screams of people, and explosions of meteors hitting the ground.

The screams filled the air, only to be broken by a snapping twig of robotic footsteps.

"What... What's happening...."

Lasers shot out as people screamed in fear, the footsteps neared the girl.

"ROB-E... there is another witness...."

"Got it boss..."

"Who are you...." the girl asked, backing away in fear.

A car drove by and Ahora looked over, "OMG, Leefah's back from her stupid vacation now... Ugh, that bitch owes me an explanation for missing my wedding"

"ROB-E! HURRY UP! We need to leave..."

"Yes Boss, I'll finish her off..."

"Excellent..."

"What are you doing... Leave me alone!"

ROB-E shot out more magnetic waves and wrapped them around the girl.

"The boss has planned for no witnesses to escape alive...."

"I failed him with that girl from the town hall..."

"But there's no reason to let you go..."

ROB-E slammed the girl on the ground.

"Some shouldn't stand in the way of power..."

ROB-E picked the girl back up and slammed her on the ground again, snapping her spine and killing her.

The girl's lifeless body arose from the ground.

"Absorb her, Even as a ghost she can ruin this..."

"I'm... I'm dead...." the girl muttered as she looked around.

ROB-E tapped the orb from his abdomen and sucked the girl inside.

"Soul Absorption Level 1... complete..."

"Let's go..."

"Yes boss...."

ARTI walked to the time machine, "The future world..."

"Is now perfect...."

Leefah looked back at Atlas as he placed her back down. "Thank you..."

"You would have gone hysterical... it's best you get your tears out now..."

Leefah looked back at the portal.

"The light's different...."

"We discussed the plan on the way here... You know what to do..."

"Oasis Landing...."

"The sky... It happened...."

"Everything..."

"Everything has rotted...."

"I gotta find the others... They need to know the plan..."

"Atlas is still in the present... But if I can find Future Chasity... I can find Future Atlas..."

Leefah looked up at the filthy sky.

"This once beautiful sky, filled with double rainbows..."

"Has fallen to despair..."

"The town square...."

Leefah looked around and ran off to look at what had changed from beauty to destruction.

She stopped before the pond in Town Square.

"This place...."

"It's all filth..."

Leefah took out her hover-board.

She lowered her head, "The others need to be found..."

"I just hope they are still alive...."

"Hey lady! You're in the wrong neighborhood!"

"How cute... Sorry but I can't stay little kid, I gotta save this place"

The little boy looked at her and lowered his arms. "Are you telling the truth..."

"Anthony! DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS!"

"Promise..."

"Big Brother... Is that her...."

"Looks just like how Ol'Chasity described...."

Leefah looked over and changed course for the house.

"Dequan! Alex! Go off with your dad.. me and her need to talk!"

"AWW! But mom..."

"C'mon Dequan..." muttered the man with black hair.

"Let mom talk to her... there's time later..." answered the kid with blond hair.

The woman turned as the boys ran off.

"Sorry, You must be Leefah right... You sure are dressed how Ol'Chasity told us..."

"Ol'Chasity..... Is that what you call her in this time..."

"Yes, And I'm Meaghan..."

"Meaghan Kagyura to be precise..."

"Wait... So that means..."

"Yup... I'm your great times nine granddaughter...."

"OH MY GOSH! YOU LOOK SO CUTE!"

"Aww, Not as fab as you granny! Tell me how you got such a great anti-aging cream..." Meaghan joked.

Leefah choked on Meaghan's stink gas, "Oh my god... she smells so awful... why did I hug her..." she thought.

Leefah let go and straightened herself. "Meaghan, where are the others..."

She looked around. "Come inside... We can't stay out while the patrols are around..."

"Patrols...."

"Come inside..."

Leefah looked around for the patrols she spoke of.

"I doubt you know what to look for..."

"Well... You're probably right on that..."

Meaghan pushed a tall screen away from the window and peered out.

"What are the patrols..."

"You're familiar with plumbots right? Well... the one who made the first plumbot created them as a weapon to avenge their father..."

"Avenge... What do you mean Meaghan..."

She slid the screen back into place.

"900 years ago, A man by the name of Goopy GilsCarbo created the first plumbot in order to seek out the ones responsible for killing his father before his very eyes..."

"Wait..."

"Was the boy just a toddler when his dad died... And he was killed in front of Monte Vista town hall?... From my time period..."

"Yes, I believe so..."

"Perfect!! I know how to fix this!!"

"Seriously?... How..."

"I gotta get back to the present time.. But I need to speak to Ol'Chasity and my time's Chasity..."

"Then your best bet would be the waste lands... a small bunker is there where they are hiding.."

"Why is that..."

"The decendant of the GilsCarbo family is seeking revenge right? Well he got a hint a few hours ago that the one who could have prevented such tragedy was Chasity herself... Since she was from that time"
