(A lil rushed so it's not at all my best..but heck needed a starting point so I did it. Anyone is free to join if they wish)
[Current day] [14:37pm]
"Looks like you were right old friend; we weren't getting out of here alive" the black and white furred fox said with a sad tone to his voice as he leaned his head and forearm against the big window that looked down upon the planet of mobius as the sound of explosions deep within the space station sounded every few moments or so. He glanced at the still functioning CCTV camera's seeing rooms ablaze and filled with choking smoke before looking at the main function computers only seeing a countdown and self destruct sequence slowly ticking away. There was nothing that could be done now; it was too late and escape from this place was impossible now.
"Twilight don't say that" the raspy and rough voice from behind him said as the sounds of heavy footsteps sounded beside him before stopping just behind him. The fox looked at the younger fox in front of him seeing how beat up he was; he was covered in deep cuts and bruises from the intense fighting. His clothing was literally ripped to shreds and somehow they were managing to stay on him even though they were seeped with blood and burnt. The younger black and white furred fox turned around showing his war worn face; blind he was in his right eye as it swelled tightly shut. The sounds of crackling over the headset that the young fox wore started to sound in his ears as he sighed a moment.
"Twilight are you reading me over
" a female voice sounded "Did you make it off the station
" she said with the sound of hope that he actually had made it off'; but how do you go about breaking the news that he wasn't and that he wouldn't ever be coming back.
"No...me and Thunder never made it off; we ran out of time" Twilight said sadly for a moment as he looked down at the planet below him; even from space it was clear to see that the planet was just a meer shadow of it's former self after the intense war that had ravaged and destroyed it of it's once former beauty.
"The others made it off apart from Vincent and Porico; they died in our last stand as brave as they always have been" he said closing his eyes seeing in his own head them dying once more as he pounded his fist against the thick glass a moment and swore under his breath.
"They died so the others could get off and that me and Flash could make it to the control room" he said after a moment before going quiet "Looks like I'll have to break my promise...I won't be coming back afteral since we're sealed in here" he said as he walked over and sat on one of the chairs next to the flashing monitors of the countdown that read 5 minutes 32 seconds to self destruct he sighed hearing the connection break into nothing "I love you" he said wishing he had been given that extra few moments just to say that.
Thunder patted Twilight on the shoulder with his exposed exoskeleton arm and hand that was burnt away in the fight earlier on as he pondered something that he could do to change all of what had happened up until this point in history.
"Thing's don't have to end like this you know Twilight...if you could take the other routes at the crossroads of life would you want to
" he said leaving the question open for him
Twilight looked around and up at him as he pondered for a moment before slowly nodding "I guess so...why do you ask
" he said slightly puzzled.
"I think thing's don't have to end up like this is all. I remember hearing something about going back into the past when I was being turned into the part being, part machine I was made into. The problem is it's risky business; life can be improved but on the other hand it can make things even worse. I've been thinking a while now...maybe we could avoid this war altogehter...at least on the other hand...keep the number of deaths low" he said looking down at the planet before him for a moment before speaking in his rough voice once more "Maybe your planet can remain the beauty it once was before this horrible war turned it into it what it is now...the heavily polluted, war scarred mess. Maybe even no more Dr Robotnic and his cronies if you play your cards right" he said as he walked away from Twilight and just simply looked down at the planet.
"Would you want me to try and change the past for a better future Twilight
...or do you think you can settle for the peace we have achieved now
" he said still focused on the planet below awaiting the answer.
"The risk of making things potentially worse is not going to be a good thing; we didn't know you right away in the past. You know how badly we reacted to you halfway through this war when we came across you the first time" he said rummaging around in his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and tapped them against his knee in thought "But I hate seeing how Mobius has been left right now; it both pains and saddens me deeply. Right now she'll never be truly back to her once rightful beauty. That and so many good people have died to secure a peace I even now still don't feel truly happy with...how much worse could things possibly of turned out
" he said as he popped a cigarette in his mouth and lit it quickly before taking a long toke and blowing out a small puff of smoke.
"We could of not got this far. We could of lost altogether" Thunder said looking back to him a moment before turning around fully to face Twilight once more "Would you want me to change the past to potentially make things better...or not
We don't have too long left to come up with this decision Twilight. A yes or no will simply suffice" he said as the time ran down to 3 minutes beeping as the alarms continued to ring out through the station.
"Yes. Do it" he simply said after a moment and looked over to Thunder nodding "What do you need me to do...might as well make myself useful before I go up with this station" he said with a slight chuckle before coughing slightly on his cigarette "Better than dying of the brain tumor I do have" he said sadly but looked up with a slight smile "Always wanted to go out heroically in a situation like this than in my bed"
"I need you to run a program for me and I should simply disappear" he said as he took out a small disk and handed it to Twilight who quickly put it into one of the only functional computers and typed away for a moment to run the program being left with a button on screen saying execute.
"I apologize now if I'm rude in the past" he said with a smile as half his cigarette was now gone "You know what I was like...let's hope we can really make a difference for the better" he said and clicked on execute as a blinding white light radiated around Thunder before he disappeared completely.
"Goodbye Twilight" was all Thunder said before it was just Twilight left on his own as the self destruct clock ran down to the last twenty seconds; the whole station was shuddering as explosions got louder and louder, closer and closer to him. Getting up he felt his head throb badly from the brain tumor within and walked to the window looking into space and Mobius down below one last time. He pulled out one last cigarette and threw the empty box to the floor; he lit and took a few tokes as he heard the speakers call out 5, 4
"Here we go" he said closing his eyes
3,2
"This is so lame" he said with a slight chuckle feeling the most scared he had ever felt
1,0
That last second seemed to last a lifetime as in a flash the station went up into a giant explosion see able from the planets surface. The explosion made no sound in space but in that moment Twilight and those who died on the station vaporised immediately.
[5 years in the past] [08:43am]
A big ball of electric burnt a hole and destroyed trees in a 10 meter diameter. In the hole knelt Thunder 'Flash' McGraw confused from amnesia that happened from the time travel. He looked around confused as he stood and looked around the beauty forest around him.
"Why am I here
" he said confused to himself wearing an old style flight suit as he looked down at the small creator his entrance had made "How did I get here" his body remained part machine though it was all internal and he didn't remember of the experiments that made him. As far as he knew there and then he was as normal as everyone else.
"Hello
" he called out into the forest "Is anyone out there
"
