Chapter 30
And so the story continues and so does my bad use of author's notes but you guys don't care about that do you?

When (y/n) woke up, Time went ahead and took a blood sample which Esper immediately began to study. "We can't formulate the cure until we go ahead in time to when (y/n)'s alter ego takes over. Preferably in Esper's timeline since the virus seems more aggressive there. The more aggressive the virus is, the better cure we create make for it," Time said.
"I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Are you sure we can't just go ahead in this time line." Esler was obviously unease by the idea of using his timeline for this mission.
"We can but we'd have the best cure if we go to your time line before it disappears," Time responded.
"Right, it's just that..." Esper was saying.
"You're afraid to go there again. I get it since you've killed (y/n) countless times already," Time spoke with slight harshness in his voice.
"No, that isn't it. He's not scared to go there. He's afraid of what I might do to myself," (y/n) muttered.
"You don't have to defend him, (y/n)," Time sighed.
"I'm not defending him, I'm just telling the truth." She then turned to Esper. "You're still confused. You don't know what you're capable of doing now that everything you've known has been changed. You just want to go ahead and disappear. No need to deny it because it's all you've been able to think about. You have a strong desire to protect me now, but you also have a strong desire to stay as far away from me as you can," (y/n) said.
Esper was speechlessness as he stared into her eyes. "Even if that is true, Esper needs to pull it together. We can't waste any more time because we might not succeed every time we go ahead into the future," Time spoke up.
"Don't you think you're being a little too harsh on yourself," Add said, finally joining the conversation. He had been observing his other two selves' behavior before deciding to say something.
"No because I'm not him," Time said. That was when (y/n) snapped. "Stop saying that," she growled. Time, Add, and even Esper backed away from her. She guessed it was because her eyes had turned red but she didn't care. She needed to get her point across so she continued speak. "If it weren't for Esper coming back in his own timeline and accidentally changing stuff, you would be him. The only reason you aren't is because of his decisions whether you like it or not, so I suggest you be a little more grateful for Esper changing your damn past so you could get a little more sense about yourself!"
The Adds blinked a few times,, none of them saying anything and letting her continue her rant. "I get that he's done some things that even I have a hard time forgiving him for, but he's trying to change. He is changing but he doesn't know if it's for better or for worse. Your stupid low-key salty remarks aren't helping!" (y/n) almost yelled at Time. The room was silent for a moment as Add and Time avoided (y/n)'s gaze. Esper was the only one to make eye contact with her, wanting to say something but couldn't. (Y/n) suddenly felt dizzy and her vision started to fail her. "Dang it. Now my head hurts," she muttered as she began to rub her eyes.
Esper's eyes suddenly widened. "No, (y/n), you have to fight her. Don't let he gain control," he suddenly said. He was reaching for her but stopped when Time and Add's dynamos surrounded him. (Y/n)'s senses were only getting hazier and she slowly began to back away from the Adds. "The virus is acting. We need to calm her down, now!" she heard Esper say.
"But how?" Add asked. "You've never told us of a time when we've been able to do that."
(Y/n) briefly saw Time looking at her with worry. "This wasn't supposed to happen yet," he said as he slowly backed away from her.
"We have to do something or else..." Add was saying but stopped himself. (Y/n)'s senses suddenly became sharp but she no longer had control over what she did.
"Hmm...I was hoping I could come out to play sooner or later. You three know too much already," she said with a voice that was somehow slightly different that her own.
"Reikon," Time and Esper growled. The gave each other a surprised glance but looked right back at (y/n)...or should she be called Reikon now?
"Aww you two remember me. That's so sweet," Reikon said with fake sentiment.
"How in the world are you able to remember everything from both time periods," Time spat.
"Oh that's simple. Whenever (y/n) isn't reading through your memories, I am. I know everything there is to know about you three. I know what makes you happy, I know what makes you sad, and I know what you fear the most," Reikon said, emphasizing the fear part. (Y/n) was frightened and unable to take back control. "How about we play a game. I attack, and you three survive until its game over for you."
"(Y/n), I don't want to have to hurt you, so please try an snap out of it," Add said.
"Haven't you been listening? I'm not (y/n). I'm Reikon...well that's the name I was given but I kind of like that name. No need to change it," Reikon spoke.
Add shook his head at her. "(Y/n)'s still there," he said as he began to slowly walk towards Reikon. He was suddenly pulled back by both Time and Esper.
"We've tried that. It doesn't work," they said to him. Reikon just laughed at them all.
"I'm starting to wonder if I should change this game. I think I will." She lifted one of her hands, instantly surrounding Time in psychic energy and slamming him against one wall, trapping him there. She did the same to Add using her other hand, slammimg him into a different wall. "No! Stop!" (y/n) said, but her words were not heard.
"Go ahead, Esper. Kill me. You know you want to," Reikon cooed.
"Don't do this, please dont," Esper pleaded, his eyes filling with tears. "I've already had to go through this before."
"Either you kill me, or I kill them," Reikon said as she increased the psychic energy around Add and Time, focusing it on their throats. "Stop! Don't kill them please! Leave them alone!" (y/n) shouted but again, her words were not heard.
"I don't want to do this again," Esper said as he cautiously stepped closer to her.
"What will it be, Esper? You're already dead anyway so it's their lives that you hold in your hands," Reikon purred. (Y/n) watched in horror as Add and Time slowly suffocated and Esper raised his dynamos in an attack stance. He went right over to Reikon, glaring at her with his dynamos close behind him but only stood in front of her when he was close enough.
"If you want to take a life, take mine. Just let them go," Esper pleaded.
"No can do. I told you, you're already dead, remember. I knew you couldn't do it though," Reikon said as she condescendingly stared up into his eyes. Esper hugged her before she could say or do anything more.
"Get your pathetic hands off of me before I kill all three of you," Reikon growled.
"(Y/n) please. You have to fight her. I need you right now. We all do," Esper said as he began to cry. Reikon dropped Add and Time just before they died of air loss. They had already lost consciousness so there was nothing they could currently do. Reikon then formed a bladed object of some sort, made entirely of psychic energy and held it over Esper's back just where it would pierce his heart.
"Any last words to (y/n) before I kill you?" Reikon said. Esper only hugged her tighter.
"Don't do anything you'll regret," he said.
"Cute...just not enough to convince me not to do away with you," Reikon said before she drove the bladed object right through Esper's heart...or at least she tried to. The alter ego was unable to move any longer.
"I won't," (y/n) had spoken. She soon regained full control of herself once more and the psychic energy around her dissipated. (Y/n) didn't hesitate to hug Esper back. Knowing that she wasn't Reikon anymore, Esper picked her up and continued to hug her.
"Please don't do that anymore. Even if it's for my sake, don't you ever do that again," Esper said. "I don't want to see you hurt anymore. I don't want to hurt you anymore." He shook as he kept her close, finally giving in to the feeling he had been fighting all the while.
