Present, Past, Future

Time Machine, well, the evil mechanism posing as Time Machine, looked down at the corpse before him. He knew where he sent Brian and Avin. He knew that big change was coming. He was about to change the course of history for himself this time.

He had the device needed to overpower his counterpart. He had the strength to turn the tides and ensure that he was the ruler of everything that would ever call the earth its home. The only flaw he had, that he was aware of, was his cool down period on time travel. He knew that he would have to correct that someday soon. Make his creator pay for designing such a flaw into his circuits.

So, he waited the allotted time and then went back into the past. He saw trees. They were green. The sun was shining brighter than bright. He hated this warm climate.

So, he ran through the forest in search of the two kids that would kill him and his plan for good. He had to change that. Suddenly, he felt pressure hit him from behind. A tree had just cracked over his body and sent him crashing through the wildlife of the forest, until he landed hard on cement.

Looking up, the evil machine saw Brian, just standing there in awe. Then, a car crashed into the robot and rolled over him with its tires, but the vehicle also accrued a great deal of damage as it careened off the side of the road and rolled over several times. Brian quickly ran over to the car, not even looking at the commotion with the evil robot, and saw a young lady and her child unconscious in the car. He quickly tried to help them regain consciousness so they could get to safety.

The evil robot smiled in his direction and then turned his attention to Time Machine, who had just appeared at the edge of the forest with Avin. He then started running towards Time Machine with undying determination and quickly pulled out the device from Salvation and shot a concentrated beam of energy from it into his chest. Time Machine attempted to jump out of the way but only had enough time to save Avin from the blast. The evil machine laughed in a terrible manner as Time Machine collapsed onto the earth.

Looking at Avin, the evil Time Machine laughed out, “Avin, are you ready for a permanent time out?”

Brian, who had just gotten the attention of the young woman in the car, was in shock when she said, “Is Brian okay? My son! Is he okay?”
Brian then chocked out, “Your son...is Brian…Weston?”

Wide eyed, the women then jumped back and grabbed a gun that was hidden beneath her seat in the vehicle. She pointed it at Brian and then began to cry. It was as though she had never had to threaten anyone with a gun before. Then, she wiped her tears and looked over at her son again.

She then closed her eyes and said, “I’m sorry.”

Brian, who was about to scream out, was then grabbed from behind and tossed through the air towards Avin. Standing in his wake was the evil Time Machine. The gun went off and pierced deep into the metallic structure of its body, but it didn’t seem to hurt the machine at all. Then, the woman opened her eyes and screamed out.

The machine then laughed out, “Nice to meet you again, madame! You look lovely as ever! This time, I’ll have to kill you and your son!”

Avin Orianna Auberon

Avin watched the scene as it unfolded before her. What the hell was going on? Nothing was making sense, and if this was Time Machine's way of fixing things; he needed to see a psychiatrist, and badly. There was no way was it okay for Brian to not get hit by a car, but then get attacked by Mr. Twice-As-Psycho-Copy-Time Machine.

It was bad enough that Brian wouldn't even remember half of what had happened; his life was in danger, and maybe he didn't really know why… She had no idea how much Time Machine changed because she remembered everything, the whole thing with the psycho copy and Brian being Time Machine's son… Avin knew that Time Machine was partly organic, but she was very confused as to how he could have kids… It/He was a machine right? Even as a partly organic machine she wondered how it was possible for it to have kids… It made her brain hurt thinking about it… She needed to talk to Brian about how that would work, unfortunately she made a promise to Time Machine about Brian not finding out about his parentage.

Her thinking fest distracted her from paying attention to the events conspiring around her. Next thing Avin knew she was thrown backwards by… The okay time machine? She was on her ass and trying to push herself up, which wasn't going so well since everything was spinning. She saw Time Machine collapsed on the ground and she heard maniacal laughing with the phrase “Avin, are you ready for a permanent time out?”

Finally pushing herself off the ground she scrambled to get away. She saw Brian being threatened by a young woman, but he could take care of himself. Time Machine was twitching on the ground, it looked like it/he was either having an epileptic attack or massive technology glitches. Either way it didn't matter unless Time Machine got up and managed to destroy the crazy psycho machine.

Everything was happening weirdly fast and as much as she tried, Avin really couldn't keep track of it all. Brian slammed into her, copy made threats against what she supposed was Brian's mom, then Time Machine got himself up and punched his fist into the copy's body.

Copy was immobilized and Time Machine ushered them through a time portal thing and said rather quickly: "He's not going to stay like this for long. Run, find someplace safe and hide. He will hunt you both, but for now I have someone else to protect. You'll have to figure out some way to stop him for sure."

Brian hit the ground hard next to Avin. The air was knocked from his lungs and he struggled to catch his breath. He saw Time Machine punch into his more than evil twin, and then ushered Avin through a portal and told Brian to go through as well. Brian didn’t think it was right to though. He didn’t want to leave the woman that was his mother, behind.

The weirdest thing about being where he was right now was that he couldn’t remember getting there. He couldn’t even remember why he wanted to destroy the twin Time Machine so bad either. He just knew he had to. He looked deep into the realistic eyes of Time Machine for a couple of seconds before saying what he had to say.

“Time Machine,” He began to say, “I can’t just let this thing destroy my life again. Even if I’m not who I am today, I can’t let my mother die.”

Time Machine looked at him unsympathetically and said, “If she lives, Brian, you will die.”

Brian breathed a light sigh, stood up, and walked over to Avin next to the portal and said, “Avin, I’ve known you for a very long time. We’ve done countless things that only we will ever remember or believe. I just don’t want my past to consume both of us. So, goodbye.”

Upon saying that, he pushed Avin into the portal and grabbed the device from Salvation. The device reacted differently to his touch this time. Time Machine looked at him and smiled a slight smirk. Brian felt power beyond mortal men, flowing through him. Brian then turned his gaze upon the evil Time Machine, who was now beginning to regain his composure and get back on his feet.

Time Machine then said, “I just hope Avin finds what she needs to figure out who she is and why she is.”

The words barely even meant anything to Brian, but he knew that Time Machine had planned everything out like this for a reason. He knew that Time Machine wasn’t about to let an even crazier version of himself roam through space and time. Brian just had to defeat his nemesis and save himself from his situation. He knew that Avin would be able to take on whatever was put in place for her.
