"So, who sent you here?" Slaine held his skateboard between his waist and his arms, with his hands into his pocket. All of them stood on the terrace, surrounding the Slaine from alternate reality. He looked into Slaine's eyes and his face and fainted.

"..."
"..."
"Okay, so...Whose's gonna pick him up?" Axel asked.
"You're the muscleman here, Jimmy," Slaine said.
"Leave it to me, babes," Jimmy picked Slaine from alternate reality on his shoulders and began running, "Axel, get my bike!"

. . .

When he opened his eyes, he saw Jimmy, Axel, Valorie and Slaine sitting before him. Valorie had black sunglasses over his eyes. The alternative Slaine looked at Slaine.

"Wait, are you my dad?" He asked and Axel and Jimmy started laughing.
"Seriously, do I look that old that I'd have an eighteen-year-old brat on my dick?"
"Yo, that is borderline paedophilia," Axel stopped laughing.
"And it's gay...And incestuous? No, it is not incest if you're fucking yourself. It's masturbation! Hold on, this is actually interesting you know," Jimmy said and Slaine rolled his eyes.

"What do we call him? Slaine would confuse us as you are named Slaine too," Axel looked at Slaine.
"Slaine alt-reality?" Jimmy said.
"His middle name, Brussels would do, right?"
"Slaine Brussels Benjamin, weird name," Jimmy said.

"Weird coming from someone who literally has his middle name as Giovanni," Axel said.
"My grandpa was Italian! I can't help it!" Jimmy said.
"Jim Giovanni Valentine...Yeah, I-I think Jimmy is better," Axel said.
"Kid," Slaine turned towards Brussels.

"I don't know why you are here but you're not just in the past, you're inside an alternate reality," Slaine said.
"What is that?" Brussels asked.
"Let us just say that time is a massive bundle of wires, each wire in that bundle is a reality and that bundle is made of infinite realities, one in which you're a doctor, a president, a homeless person or..."

"A criminal,"
"Exactly," Slaine said, "You're criminal?"
Brussels chuckled and took out a cigarette, "I need some time to process all this,"
"If you are so unaware, how come you're here?"

"I was sent here by this man called X." Brussels said.
"X..." Slaine looked at Jimmy and he nodded, "We are going in the right direction,"

"He seemed loaded. He said he wanted to fix some sorta machine and he needed that man for it," Brussels pointed at Axel.
"How does he know Axel?"
"I do not know. He had a picture of him on a computer screen."

Slaine looked at Axel, "He knows I am a mechanic?"
"Most probably, yes,"
"Could you tell us more about him?"
"I do not know a lot. But he is fixing a time machine, I don't know why though,"

"There's only one way to find out, take us to the future, all of us," Slaine said.
"Are you sure?"

"I am tired of this now," Valorie finally spoke and everyone turned quiet, "I can't see anymore. I can't see anything, it's all black. And without sight, my sense of time and direction is gone. I've lost contact with Giles, so she is most probably murdered. The love of my life, who loved me more than anyone else is dead...Oh, which Lupin is dead too. We don't know if Ben is alive or not. Asselyum is gone, Mik and Norman are dead, Lucifer is dead. Everything and everyone around me is dying...And once again, I cannot do anything to protect what I have," He removed his glasses, "I...I failed, guys. I failed as a leader, as an ANDRIOD, as a lover, a best friend, as Valorie, I failed. I have lost everyone,"

Everyone looked at him, "I don't even know what I am doing anymore. I do not understand what was I here for? Am I a bad person or am I just in pain?

I feel myself changing, and it scares me because everything I ever hated, I'm becoming that. Why is life testing me so hard lately? I mean I will survive but GIVE ME A BREAK! My humanity is surfacing over me again and I can't, I just can't–the pressure, I'm breaking." He wiped his tears and cleared his throat, "With Giles, I was finally happy but I guess I didn't deserve it,"

"That's the problem, you know," Slaine got up and Jimmy just whispered to him to sit down, "Slaine..."
"You think you don't deserve something so you ruin it!" Slaine yelled at him.
"I tried to protect it, I really did!" Valorie shouted back, "BUT IT'S NO POINT IF THERE IS TRAGEDY IN YOUR BLOOD!"

"The horror that you've seen is not who you are,"
"I am a weapon, Slaine. You can't expect me to find peace, I don't want peace, I can survive in war as long as I do not lose the people I love. YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT SO I'D ASK YOU TO SHUT THE FUCK UP, okay?

YOU CAN NOT CREATE A MONSTER AND THEN HATE IT! BECAUSE SLAINE BENJAMIN, YOU CREATED A MONSTER TOO–EVELYN BENJAMIN! AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE, WE LOST BEN IN BOTH THE REALITIES!"

"Valorie, stop it," Jimmy said, "It's fine, we get you. Calm down, it's okay,"
"No, Jimmy," Slaine stopped him and walked towards Valorie, "I let Evelyn go because I know that I have raised him, so the rebel in him will never die, I cannot cage him,"

Valorie had nothing more to say. Slaine turned towards Brussels, "Take us to the future,"

Elron moved towards Axel. Axel smiled at him, "I'll be back before you know it, don't worry,"

Brussels grabbed his skateboard and got on it, "Follow me,"
"Wait," Jimmy got Asselyum on his back, "Now, let's go,"
They followed him down an old ally and reached a ditch, with the time portal open in it, "Once we all pass through it, it will close," Brussels informed them.

"Fair enough, so we all need to jump together," Slaine grabbed Jimmy's hand and jumped down with Brussels, Valorie and Axel.

All of them landed on the grass inside a huge park, "Well, are we there?" Jimmy looked aside and felt a gun on his head, "This was fairly easy," Brussels said.
"Bro?" Jimmy turned towards him, Axel and Slaine were surrounded,
"ASSHOLE TRAITOR!" Axel shouted.

"I thought we were friends?" Jimmy said.
"I have only one friend," Brussels smirked as X stood behind him, "Money,"

. . .

Coelestin walked through the woods, the sharp grass blades striking his silver armour. He walked his way, hungry and thirsty. He had been walking for two days, but he couldn't stop. He had to reach Bern before the coronation.

His feet were giving up, but he reminded himself of his lineage, he was the second prince of Switzerland, crown prince of the world, the son of Elias.

He planted his feet on the Earth and he forced himself to walk with that heavy metal armour around him. He dragged his weapon behind him. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. He bent his knees and looked straight in the direction of the noise, ready to attack.

Lutz jumped out of the bushes and rose his front feet while weighing as he looked at Coelestin. The latter dropped his weapon aside and calmed the horse down, "LUTZ!" His voice had happiness and life back to it. He caressed Lutz's white face with his fingers while pressing their forheads together, "How are you, friend?" He spoke in Romansh, his native tongue.

The horse simply cuddled with Coelestin while rubbing his pink nose on his blonde hair. Coelestin laughed, "I missed this," He kissed Lutz's forehead and looked into his blue eyes, "Listen now, we got no time to waste. The coronation is tomorrow, we have to reach Bern by tomorrow, can you take me, Lutz?"

Lutz nodded. Coelestin picked up his weapon and looked at Lutz' side, "Where is your saddle? How do I get up now..." Lutz looked at him gently and bowed before him. Coelestin looked at him and slowly got on his back. Lutz got up, "Alright my boy, show me what you got,"

Lutz raised his feet up in the air and neighed loudly. Coelestin held his white mane with his left hand and his weapon in his right. Lutz ran at once, and how strong his hoof were, it seemed as if he was piercing the Earth as he ran, faster than the wind following them and slowly, the sun fell into the ocean behind the mountain.

Coelestin left Lutz with his armour and weapon in the woods and walked towards the castle. He had spent fifteen years in that castle, he knew his ways inside. All the secret passageways and shortcuts.

He walked towards a wall and pushed one of the bricks inside. A small hole opened in one of the walls. He got inside it and walked down the stairs. It was lit up by solar lights. The white floor reflected him as he walked over it. It seemed like a maze, but it wasn't the first time he was there. He walked for fifteen minutes and finally reached a wall. He pushed it and it moved sidewards, opening into the ballroom.

"Yes!" He walked out and looked around. There were cameras there. But he knew where every camera pointed and successfully managed to escape each one of them. Finally, he reached the court chambers and knocked at a door. His royal advicer and family friend, Joar, opened the foor.

"Your highness!" He whispered and quickly pulled Coeslestin in, locking the door behind him. He turned towards Coelestin, "What are you doing here? If that snake Loan sees you, he will kill you!"

"He won't, snakes have poor vision," Coelestin chuckled.
"But why are you here?" He asked.
"War, Loan. My brother wants to fight, so I will give him war. I will show him how hot the true Dionisius blood boils,"
