Shana: *glides across the bottomless pit* Have you reached the bottom yet? *no response* What?
Hally: *barely heard* Yes! *turns on flashlight* Gross. *see's skeleton* Now, where on Earth. . .well, where in this pit is the door. . .?
Shana: What, Hally?
Hally: *looks up, picks up a rock and throws it up towards Shana* Shh! *unhooks the harness and starts knocking on the walls* This is going to take forever. *while knocking on wall, a hollow sound is heard* Found it! Shana!
Shana: I can't hear you very well! What?
Hally: Come on down here, Shana!
Shana: *cups hand around her ear, still can't hear her* Hally, I'm coming down! *starts floating downward like a breeze*
Hally: What took you so long?
Shana: Couldn't hear you.
Hally: *nods* I found the door. Do you think the legend is true?
Shana: Don't know, but I would like to meet other humans. . .ones that aren't so annoying.
Hally: Look here, missy, you're the one who picked me out of every human left. Now I am the only human left! So don't you go complaining about it.
Shana: Fine. Let's just see if we can stop the mortals from destroying themselves and most of the planet. But if we are going to leave we better leave now before the atmosphere collapses.
Hally: *looks at watch* We have plenty of time. . .
Shana: Define time. *raises eyebrow*
Hally: Three minutes and counting.
Shana: Let's go.
Hally: Stop floating. . .people will ask question. They aren't used to your kind. . .or any other kind, at that.
Shana: *feet become solid and she starts touching floor* What year are we going to?
Hally: Twenty-twenty-one. *grabs Shana's arm and kicks open the rock door* Ready?
Shana: Arak liegen staed; As ready as I'll ever be.
Hally: *walks with Shana through entry, they disappear through a shock of bright light. Both start screaming in pain, then they arrive on a planet through a lightening bolt in year 2021. Planet unknown by them*
Shana: *takes a gasping breath, hand searches for Hally* Hally. . .Hal. . . *sees blurry figures walking toward her, faints*
Hally: I. . .It. . .w-w-work-ked. *reaches for Shana's hand but is too weak, hand falls on Shana's shoulder* Who. . .are. . .*pukes to the side and faints*
Morie: *sees bodies* Omygod!
Nyn: *tsks* Language. *kneels next to Shana and Hally, checks pulse and breathing* They'll live.
Morie: Good. Um, good. *panicking*
Nyn: We can't leave them here. *purses lips* I suppose we can take them back with us.
Morie: Won't Olivia be-
Nyn: She won't mind. Much. Eventually. Maybe. She'll get over it. *looks at them, trying to decide which one is lighter*
Alekiera: Is the people okay? *crouching on top of a rock overhang looking down at them*
Nyn: Are. And yeah. They're just unconscious.
Alekiera: Why are?
Nyn: They. We found them like this.
Alekiera: They what? *tilts head* You don't make sense. You keep puttin' words in front of your talking.
Shana: *mumbles* Grogschien maerad. *tilts head slightly and legs slightly turn transparent and back to solid form, weakly* Hally.
Alekiera: It's a ghost! *disappears from edge of cliff*
Morie: *to Shana* Who?
Shana: Who. . .are you, and you, and the little one?
Morie: I'm Morie. That's Nyn, and. . .um, I dunno.
Alekiera: *peeks over and stares*
Shana: *tries to sit up* I'm. . .Shana. That is Hally. Where are we?
Alekiera: In da fores'.
Nyn: We were going to take you to the Center, make sure you were okay.
Alekiera: Really? Why?
Morie: 'Cos they were unconscious.
Alekiera: The ghos' sady looks fine to me. The puky man needs help though.
Morie: I figured.
Alekiera: *tares* Whee! *jumps off the overhang*
Morie: Who are you?
Alekiera: *tumbles* Oof, I'm Alekiera.
Morie: Hello.
Alekiera: *sniffles* I scwaped my knee.
Morie: You poor baby. *rushes over* Lemme see?
Alekiera: *rubs knee*
More: You want a bandaid?
Shana: Alekiera. . .Hally is a girl. *looks at Hally and pulls her up to herself* Hally, are you okay?
Hally: *shakes*
Shana: *stands up and picks Hally up* Where can we take her? And Alekiera, I'm not a ghost.
Alekiera: *nods, pouty lip* Buh you went see frough and den you went ahhh. *holy noise* dereness again!
Nyn: The Women and Children's Center is that way. You coming, Morie?
Alekiera: Ghosy!
Morie: You wanna go with us to the Center?
Alekiera: Ja!
Morie: Okay. *holds out arms* Will you let me carry you?
Alekiera: *squee* Piggy ride! Piggy ride!
More: *swings him up*
Alekiera: *claps* Yay, piggy ride!
Shana: What planet are we on?
Nyn: Earth. What planet did you think?
Shana: Don't know. . .and just for clarification it is year 2021.
Nyn: *nods*
Shana: Ok. . .let's go. I don't want to have to. . .never mind.
Nyn: Sentences ought to be finished.
Shana: Not that one.
Nyn: Okay. So, what happened to the two of you?
Shana: I don't think she would appreciate it if I told you. Where is the Center?
Nyn: *points to a building* That's the Center.
Shana: *nods and starts walking in that general direction*
Nyn and Morie: *follow*
Shana: What country and city and I in? And if possible, I need to know the leader.
Morie: America. And the closest thing to a city is the Center. You're way out in the fields, here.
Nyn: Our leader is Olivia.
Alekiera: And mommy and duaddy, but they's not leaders, they's famous!
Nyn: Not sure I know who your parents are. DIdn't think there were that many people living out here.
Alekiera: Mommy wanted to get away from attention while she's pregnant. I's not gonna be da youngest 'nemore.
Morie: Don't worry, you'll love being an older sibling. You'll be in charge.
Alekiera: I stills a baby, though. My sistas are solder dan me.
Morie: You poor thing. Do they boss you around?
Alekiera: Not bad. We is spoiled.
Morie: You're lucky. My older sister always bossed me around.
Alekiera: But they love me!
More: I'll bet they do. You're a lucky, lucky little boy.
Alekiera: Hee! *happy grin*
Nyn: Where are you parents?
Alekiera: They're with Trin and Rainy.
Nyn: Your sisters, I assume. They let you wander around by yourself?
Alekiera: I's not dangerous.
Nyn: Isee.
Alekiera: *bounces* Lookie, it's dad's plane!
Morie and Nyn: *look up*
Alekiear: *waves like crazy*
Morie: You get to ride with him?
Alekiera: Sometimes. He's a General.
Morie: Yeah?
Alekiera: Sometimes he's on dangeris mishens. Mommy's difrent, daddy says she's a saint.
Morie: Men say a lot of things about the women they love.
Alekiera: But they neever mean it! That's what Uncle Scotty says. Wait, oopies, I gots that backards.
Nyn: *smirk*
Alekiera: *tries to remember*
Morie: So, who are your parents?
Alekiera: Mommy and Daddy.
Morie: I mean what are their names?
Alekiear: Mary and Mikle.
Nyn: Nice names. They aren't going to be mad that you're coming to visit us, are they?
Alekiera: Uh, no, they won't be.
Shana: *still walking* We were on what you can call a mission of life. Me and Hally are more or less stuck with each other and I'm trying to help save the humans she seems to love so dearly.
Nyn: Are we in danger?
Shana: *looks down at Hally, then back at Nyn* Yes, you are in danger. *sighs* She's not going to be happy with me when she wakes up. But walking is too slow and her vitals are getting worse. I need all of you to hold hands if you're coming with me.
Nyn: *takes Morie's hand*
Morie: *reaches up to take Alekiera's hand*
Nyn: *holds out hand*
Shana: *takes Nyn's hand and they become transparent while to others they seem like wind* Just don't say anything to anyone.
Hally: *shifts slightly*
Shana: That's the building right?
Nyn: *quietly* Yes.
More: *eyes wide*
Shana: *next to building, everyone solidifies out of sight of anyone else* Come on. *starts running around to entrance, then stops and turns* What's wrong?
Morie: That was so cool.
Nyn: *nods, follows*
Shana: *laughs and keep walking, then starts in a run*
Nyn and More: *keeping up, Morie rather awkwardly trying to to drop Alekiera*
Shana: *turns into entrace* Um. . . *stops* What am I supposed to do?
Nyn: *opens door* Come on. *calls nurse* Nurse!
Shana: Thanks. . .things are so different now. . .
Morie: What are things like when you come from?
Shana: I'll answer that another time. . .but I can say where I came from it's very. . .elemental. And where she came from. . .destructuve.
Morie: Not all that helpful.
Shana: I will answer fully with not so many around.
Nyn: *nods*
Alekiera: Ghosy!
Shana: He speaks! . . .don't say that, please.
Alekiera: You made us ghosy's too.
Shana: Shh. . .
Morie: It's a secret.
Alekiera: *puts finger up to his lips* Shh!
Shana: *laughs* You're cute.
Julia: *hurries over* What do you need?
Shana: *Hally starts shaking* A sedative and a rawberry flower. Um. . .strawberry flower will work.
Julia: *nods, pulls out needle*
Shana: *cringes* You can do it.
Julia: *injects sedatives*
Hally: *stops shaking*
Shana: Strawberry flower?
Julia: Um. . .garden?
Alekiera: Why's sady need a rawberry tower?
Julia: Hommade remedy? Honestly, I have no idea.
Alekiera: Like a potion?
Julia: I guess.
Alekiera: I think mommy has rawberries.
Julia: Yeah?
Alekiera: We can go see!
Shana: She is calm now, so we can walk there.
Morie: Okay.
Shana: *starts walking out* Alekiera, lead the way.
Alekiera: *points* Dat way!
Nyn, Morie, and Julia: *starts walking*
Alekiera: *bounces*
Morie: How far is your house?
Alekiera: Our country home is up the hill in the woods I came from.
Nyn: That's not that far, then.
Alekiera: Nopies.
Julia: Who are you, anyway, kid?
Alekiera: I'm Alekiera!
Julia: I'm Julia. Nice to meet you.
Alekiera: Hi 'ulia. I bet you'll be happy if you keep fowolin us. Oh, yeah, you guys can't tell where mommy and daddy live. They like their pri-vasy.
Shana: Well, Julie, I'm Shana and this *raises Hally a bit* is Hally.
Mrie: We won't tell.
Shana: Who will I tell?
Alekiera: Kays!
Morie: How much further?
Nyn: Don't whine.
Shana: We can't take our time. She does have to come conscious soon.
Alekiera: I told you. It's just up da hill and through the woods. *starts humming*
Nyn: *nods*
Alekiera: See! Here's the hill.
Morie: Oh thank god!
Alekiera: *laughs*
Julia: *checks Hally's pulse*
Alekiera: *bounces* Kay, now through the wood path*
Shana: *nods* She won't die. . .she can't die. She'll just be in pain if she doesn't get the strawberry.
Julia: How do you know she won't die?
Shana: She just won't.
Julia: That's not an answer.
Shana: That's my answer and that's all you're going to get until I get to know you more.
Julia: My name is Julia Alleie, I've been a nurse for six out of twenty-five years, I was married at twenty. His name was Janme, he died in the war last year. Tell me how you know she won't die.
Shana: She's immortal.
Julia: I see. How did that happen?
Shana: I resurrected her.
Julia: *slow nod*
Shana: You okay?
Julia: Are you an alien?
Shana: I am of a different species, alien to this world, citizen of the later world.
Julia: Cool!
Morie: *nods enthusiastically*
Shana: I'm sure Hally will be angry if she find out you know. She is a human, by the way. . .whe she comes conscious, act like you don't know.
Morie: Okay.
Shana: Any questions?
Nyn: Why are you here?
Shana: The humans are quoing to end up destroying their world.
Nyn: Our.
Shana: Your future world. Tell me, is WWIV going on now?
Morie: Three.
Shana: Okay. In about five years, the world will go into another great depression. Then a few years after that, WWIV will happen. In the process of going to my planet. The world pisses the universe off, which causes a universal war. But right now in WWIII, two civil wars are going to erupt.
Nyn: *nods* Frace is on it's way to that. What's the other?
Alekiera: Russia, 'n'it?
Nyn: Smart little kid.
Alekiera: *grins proudly*
Shana: *nods* Russia. . .Julia. . .You look a little stunned.
Julia: Um. . .maybe just a little.
Shana: *grins* Anyway, Alekiera, how often do you see your dad?
Alekiera: He comes back a lot, and he's on'y got six years left.
Shana: *nods* What's his name?
Alekiera: Mikey!
Shana: Is that the house? *points ahead*
Alekiera: Yup!
Shana: Good.
Nyn: Why are we all going?
Shana: Psychological interest. I'm a time traveling quote un-quote alien with a time traveling human. Put the puzzle together and you have your answer.
Morie: We don't have any puzzle pieces.
Alekiera: I gots some!
Morie: Okay, we can use those.
Nyn: I think it was a metaphor.
Alekiera: What's a metaphor?
Shana: Metaphor is a comparison of thwo things, like for instance, I'm comparing everyone's interests to puzzle pieces. . .Here. *shifts Hally so one hand is free, then waves hand slightly to make a small breeze that lifted the puzzle pieces out of Alekiera's pocket* I will change your puzzle pieces for now. *waves hand and pictures change, then she waves hand the puzzle comes together* There's you guys walking with question marks symbolizing your interest, there is what you used to percieve as an alien, then the equal sign leads you to following me. Is that a little more simple for you Alekiera? *changes puzzle pieces back to normal and pieces fall back into Alekiera's pocket*
Nyn: *I barely understood that.
Shana: It's simple as this. . .you want to know more or you actually care whether or not my friend wakes up. Possible both, maybe your eyes percieve but your mind is lost. I don't know why you followed. Just your interest got to you.
Alekiera: *cheers* Ghosy has special powers too!
Shana: *rolls eyes*
Nyn: *opens mouth*
Morie: Don't.
Shana: What?
Nyn: Nothing.
Julia: Ghosty-lady?
Shana: *puts hand in front of a breezeway and her hand goes transparent* Ghosty-lady, or which I rather be called an Elemental.
Julia: Isee.
Shana: *hand solidifies* I can turn to dust, water, solid rock, fire, wind.
Julia: That's cool.
Shana: It's okay, I guess. . .I wish I had teleportation and telekineses and everything else tele. . .There are many species, this world just has to be open enough to accept them. You are definitely not the dominant species. Unfortunately, many leaders of this world are too conceited to admit it. *continues walking then stops* Julia. . .Julia what's your last name. I knew of someone named Julia, and you look exactly like her.
Hally: *starts mumbling*
Julia: I haven't decided on one yet.
Alekiera: *suirms* Lemme down! *waves wildly* Hi mommy!
Morie: *swings Alekiera down*
Alekiera: *runs to the back porch* Mommy!
Marie: *scoops him up and gets hugged around the neck* Hey 'kiera. Who are your friends?
Morie: I'm Morie. That's Nyn, Julia, Shana, and I forget the unconscious girls name.
Alekiera: 'allie. Mommy, do I get a birhday party dis year? Is it gonna be big like last years with balloons and games and cake?
Marie: *laughs* Of course you will 'kiera my little genius. *butterfly kiss*
Alekiera: *grins brightly* Yay!
Julia: Madame?
Marie: *looks up* Yes?
Julia: Your son told us you might have a strawberry flower?
Marie: Of course. Follow me. *strides into house* Strawberries are my favourite fruit, so I grow them myself.
Alekiera: They're to make the sady better, mommy.
Julia: *nods while following* Shana says they'll help wake her up.
Marie: What happened to her?
Nyn: No clue. Morie and I found the two of them in the woods.
Marie: Interesting.*steps through a door into a garden* I suppose they aren't going to say either. *looks at Shana*
Nyn: *shrug* They don't seem so inclined.
Morie: Oh. This is a very pretty garden, madame.
Marie: Merci, madamoiselle. *does a curtsy*
Morie: You're welcome.
Marie: You may take what you need.
Morie: Thank you. *looks at Julia* You're the nurse.
Julia: I haven't got a clue what I'm doing. Beyond following instructions. *nods at Shana*
Shana: *sets Hally on the ground* Thank you very much. *walks over to strawberries and picks a few* These will work. *walks to Hally and sets her head up, then opens her eyes and queezes the juice out of the strawberries and into her eyes* Rackshein Delian Beckh. *puts the remainder of the berries in Hally's mouth and makes her swallow*
Hally: *takes a deep breath and mumbles a little, then sits up fast* Where am I? Who are. . .
Shana: *puts fingers on Hally's mouth* Not now. By the way, her name is Hally. Hally, this is *points to everyone* Morie, Nyn, Julie, Alekiera, and Alekiera's mom. Uh. . .Comment t'appelle tu?
Marie: Je m'appelle Marie. I didn't know you spke French, miss.
Shana: I learned years ago.
Hally: What's going on?
Shana: You were in a coma.
Nyn: We brough you to the Center, but we didn't have strawberries there.
Hally: Ahh!
Shana: *whispering, to Hally* All know except Marie.
Hally: What?
Morie: What?
Hally: How much do you know Morie?
Morie: . . .enough.
Hally: Shana. . .*shakes head*
Morie: Is Shana in trouble?
Hally: Oh yeah.
Shana: They needed to know!
Hally: *eyes Shana* Gov't officials only!
Shana: Alekiera saw. . .*looks down then back at Hally*
Nyn: Morie and I are. . .I suppose government officials is as good a word as any.
Shana: Why didn't you tell me?
Nyn: You didn't ask.
Shana: *rolls eyes*
Nyn: *shrug*
Marie: What don't I know?
Alekiera: *puts finger to lips* Shh.
Morie: That's their secret to tell.
Marie: Okay.
Hally: Since you're the only one who doesn't know. . .We are from the future. The not too far future. 2227 to be exact. The human race got itself in a slight predicament. . .In the process of going to a distant planet. . .
Shana: My planet, actually.
Hally: *glares at Shana* Yes, on the way to her planet. We basically made a few other species, extremely advanced species, very mad. The world is very superficial in the future and instead of dealing with their own problems, they decided to get involved intergalactically and later in the process destroyed more than half the Earth. Eventually leading up to the destruction are the depression, WWIV, the Interstellar War, *dumbfounded* I can't remember. . .
Shana: Give yourself a rest. I never told them about the Interstellar War.
Hally: *raises eyebrow* Why not?
Shana: Because it's the main event. . .that leads to the destruction. . .
Hally: Shana, why don't you take Alekiera into another room. I sense this child is going to be a keypoint in the future, and I don't want to change it too much, too soon.
Shana: *nods* Wanna go for a ride? *takes Alekiera into another room*
Hally: Now, Marie. . .what I'm about to say is the key to much of what happened.
Morie, Nyn, and Julia: *watch*
Marie: And why is my son a key factor?
Hally: He knows a lot already. And all he has heard will affect later life.
Marie: He isn't even two yet. If you get him hurt you will regret it.
Nyn: Morie and I won't let any harm come to the child.
Marie: Good.
Hally: I'm not trying to kill anyone. *glares* I'm trying to save this world from destroying itself. I left a few things out about what will be happening. If you would, Marie, let me know your last name?
Marie: I'm not saying you're going to kill anyone. I don't want my son hurt. My name is Marie Aaire.
Hally: Okay, Mrs. Aaire. Your child may only be two years old, but he is extremely intelligent from what I've seen in these past few moments of my awakening. Children like him are going to be put in. . .well, given power later. Sort of like the US Senate, House of Reps and the President combined into one.
Shana: *from another room* Much more power!
Hally: Yeah, well, you also don't have to worry 'bout your son getting hurt.
Marie: Well, you are not taking him anywhere without me.
Nyn: You're free to come with us.
Marie: Good.
Hally: Perfectly safe. . .Well, he won't be harmed. Shana, bring him in here.
Shana: *brings him in*
Alekiera: Mommy, where are Trin and Rainy?
Marie: They're in the house somewhere 'kiera.
Alekiera: Kay! Ghosty sady wanna meet my sissies?
Shana: *smiles* Okay little one.
Hally: SIsters?
Alekiera: Ja!
Hally: *sighs* Okay. Marie, do you have transportation?
Marie: Of course, miss. What kind do you need?
Hally: Something that moves, of course.
Marie: *smiles* I mean land or air.
Hally: Which would be faster?
Shana: Let's go get your sisters.
Alekiera: Okay! *runs into house* Trin! Rainy!
Nyn: I'll go with you.
Marie: *smiling* He's so full of energy.
Julia: Children often are.
Marie: Yeah.
Julia: So, how old are his sisters?
Alekiera: Trin is 7 and Rainy is 4.
Julia: *looks at kids* Hi there.
Trinity: Hi.
Raine: Hiya!
Nyn and Morie: Hey. *eye each other*
Raine: Yes?
Shana: They seem excited.
Morie: They're cute.
Hally: So we ready now?
Nyn: Absolutely.
Hally: So again, what is the transportation?
Julia: Air would be easier. *looks at Morie*
Marie: *nods* Come here 'kiera, let's go get the plane.
Nyn: *nods and follows*
Alekiera: *tackles Marie's leg* Mommy, I love you!
Marie: *laughs and swings him up and goes towards the plane*
Morie and Julia: *following*
Raine: Where are we going, mommy?
Marie: We're helping these people out.
Hally: And helping yourself.
Nyn: So you say.
Hally: You're helping undo the destruction of-
Shana: *puts hand over Hally's mouth* No need to speak of it anymore. We're here to prevent it.
Morie: You people are annoyingly cryptic.
Marie: *nods* I see. 'kiera, go get the seats ready for everyone.
Nyn: *to Marie* Thank you.
Hally: *barely heard* Yes! *turns on flashlight* Gross. *see's skeleton* Now, where on Earth. . .well, where in this pit is the door. . .?
Shana: What, Hally?
Hally: *looks up, picks up a rock and throws it up towards Shana* Shh! *unhooks the harness and starts knocking on the walls* This is going to take forever. *while knocking on wall, a hollow sound is heard* Found it! Shana!
Shana: I can't hear you very well! What?
Hally: Come on down here, Shana!
Shana: *cups hand around her ear, still can't hear her* Hally, I'm coming down! *starts floating downward like a breeze*
Hally: What took you so long?
Shana: Couldn't hear you.
Hally: *nods* I found the door. Do you think the legend is true?
Shana: Don't know, but I would like to meet other humans. . .ones that aren't so annoying.
Hally: Look here, missy, you're the one who picked me out of every human left. Now I am the only human left! So don't you go complaining about it.
Shana: Fine. Let's just see if we can stop the mortals from destroying themselves and most of the planet. But if we are going to leave we better leave now before the atmosphere collapses.
Hally: *looks at watch* We have plenty of time. . .
Shana: Define time. *raises eyebrow*
Hally: Three minutes and counting.
Shana: Let's go.
Hally: Stop floating. . .people will ask question. They aren't used to your kind. . .or any other kind, at that.
Shana: *feet become solid and she starts touching floor* What year are we going to?
Hally: Twenty-twenty-one. *grabs Shana's arm and kicks open the rock door* Ready?
Shana: Arak liegen staed; As ready as I'll ever be.
Hally: *walks with Shana through entry, they disappear through a shock of bright light. Both start screaming in pain, then they arrive on a planet through a lightening bolt in year 2021. Planet unknown by them*
Shana: *takes a gasping breath, hand searches for Hally* Hally. . .Hal. . . *sees blurry figures walking toward her, faints*
Hally: I. . .It. . .w-w-work-ked. *reaches for Shana's hand but is too weak, hand falls on Shana's shoulder* Who. . .are. . .*pukes to the side and faints*
Morie: *sees bodies* Omygod!
Nyn: *tsks* Language. *kneels next to Shana and Hally, checks pulse and breathing* They'll live.
Morie: Good. Um, good. *panicking*
Nyn: We can't leave them here. *purses lips* I suppose we can take them back with us.
Morie: Won't Olivia be-
Nyn: She won't mind. Much. Eventually. Maybe. She'll get over it. *looks at them, trying to decide which one is lighter*
Alekiera: Is the people okay? *crouching on top of a rock overhang looking down at them*
Nyn: Are. And yeah. They're just unconscious.
Alekiera: Why are?
Nyn: They. We found them like this.
Alekiera: They what? *tilts head* You don't make sense. You keep puttin' words in front of your talking.
Shana: *mumbles* Grogschien maerad. *tilts head slightly and legs slightly turn transparent and back to solid form, weakly* Hally.
Alekiera: It's a ghost! *disappears from edge of cliff*
Morie: *to Shana* Who?
Shana: Who. . .are you, and you, and the little one?
Morie: I'm Morie. That's Nyn, and. . .um, I dunno.
Alekiera: *peeks over and stares*
Shana: *tries to sit up* I'm. . .Shana. That is Hally. Where are we?
Alekiera: In da fores'.
Nyn: We were going to take you to the Center, make sure you were okay.
Alekiera: Really? Why?
Morie: 'Cos they were unconscious.
Alekiera: The ghos' sady looks fine to me. The puky man needs help though.
Morie: I figured.
Alekiera: *tares* Whee! *jumps off the overhang*
Morie: Who are you?
Alekiera: *tumbles* Oof, I'm Alekiera.
Morie: Hello.
Alekiera: *sniffles* I scwaped my knee.
Morie: You poor baby. *rushes over* Lemme see?
Alekiera: *rubs knee*
More: You want a bandaid?
Shana: Alekiera. . .Hally is a girl. *looks at Hally and pulls her up to herself* Hally, are you okay?
Hally: *shakes*
Shana: *stands up and picks Hally up* Where can we take her? And Alekiera, I'm not a ghost.
Alekiera: *nods, pouty lip* Buh you went see frough and den you went ahhh. *holy noise* dereness again!

More: *swings him up*
Alekiera: *claps* Yay, piggy ride!
Shana: What planet are we on?
Nyn: Earth. What planet did you think?
Shana: Don't know. . .and just for clarification it is year 2021.
Nyn: *nods*
Shana: Ok. . .let's go. I don't want to have to. . .never mind.
Nyn: Sentences ought to be finished.
Shana: Not that one.
Nyn: Okay. So, what happened to the two of you?
Shana: I don't think she would appreciate it if I told you. Where is the Center?
Nyn: *points to a building* That's the Center.
Shana: *nods and starts walking in that general direction*
Nyn and Morie: *follow*
Shana: What country and city and I in? And if possible, I need to know the leader.
Morie: America. And the closest thing to a city is the Center. You're way out in the fields, here.
Nyn: Our leader is Olivia.
Alekiera: And mommy and duaddy, but they's not leaders, they's famous!
Nyn: Not sure I know who your parents are. DIdn't think there were that many people living out here.
Alekiera: Mommy wanted to get away from attention while she's pregnant. I's not gonna be da youngest 'nemore.
Morie: Don't worry, you'll love being an older sibling. You'll be in charge.
Alekiera: I stills a baby, though. My sistas are solder dan me.
Morie: You poor thing. Do they boss you around?
Alekiera: Not bad. We is spoiled.
Morie: You're lucky. My older sister always bossed me around.
Alekiera: But they love me!
More: I'll bet they do. You're a lucky, lucky little boy.
Alekiera: Hee! *happy grin*
Nyn: Where are you parents?
Alekiera: They're with Trin and Rainy.
Nyn: Your sisters, I assume. They let you wander around by yourself?
Alekiera: I's not dangerous.
Nyn: Isee.
Alekiera: *bounces* Lookie, it's dad's plane!
Morie and Nyn: *look up*
Alekiear: *waves like crazy*
Morie: You get to ride with him?
Alekiera: Sometimes. He's a General.
Morie: Yeah?
Alekiera: Sometimes he's on dangeris mishens. Mommy's difrent, daddy says she's a saint.
Morie: Men say a lot of things about the women they love.
Alekiera: But they neever mean it! That's what Uncle Scotty says. Wait, oopies, I gots that backards.
Nyn: *smirk*
Alekiera: *tries to remember*
Morie: So, who are your parents?
Alekiera: Mommy and Daddy.
Morie: I mean what are their names?
Alekiear: Mary and Mikle.
Nyn: Nice names. They aren't going to be mad that you're coming to visit us, are they?
Alekiera: Uh, no, they won't be.
Shana: *still walking* We were on what you can call a mission of life. Me and Hally are more or less stuck with each other and I'm trying to help save the humans she seems to love so dearly.
Nyn: Are we in danger?
Shana: *looks down at Hally, then back at Nyn* Yes, you are in danger. *sighs* She's not going to be happy with me when she wakes up. But walking is too slow and her vitals are getting worse. I need all of you to hold hands if you're coming with me.
Nyn: *takes Morie's hand*
Morie: *reaches up to take Alekiera's hand*
Nyn: *holds out hand*
Shana: *takes Nyn's hand and they become transparent while to others they seem like wind* Just don't say anything to anyone.
Hally: *shifts slightly*
Shana: That's the building right?
Nyn: *quietly* Yes.
More: *eyes wide*
Shana: *next to building, everyone solidifies out of sight of anyone else* Come on. *starts running around to entrance, then stops and turns* What's wrong?
Morie: That was so cool.
Nyn: *nods, follows*
Shana: *laughs and keep walking, then starts in a run*
Nyn and More: *keeping up, Morie rather awkwardly trying to to drop Alekiera*
Shana: *turns into entrace* Um. . . *stops* What am I supposed to do?
Nyn: *opens door* Come on. *calls nurse* Nurse!
Shana: Thanks. . .things are so different now. . .
Morie: What are things like when you come from?
Shana: I'll answer that another time. . .but I can say where I came from it's very. . .elemental. And where she came from. . .destructuve.
Morie: Not all that helpful.
Shana: I will answer fully with not so many around.
Nyn: *nods*
Alekiera: Ghosy!
Shana: He speaks! . . .don't say that, please.
Alekiera: You made us ghosy's too.
Shana: Shh. . .
Morie: It's a secret.
Alekiera: *puts finger up to his lips* Shh!
Shana: *laughs* You're cute.
Julia: *hurries over* What do you need?
Shana: *Hally starts shaking* A sedative and a rawberry flower. Um. . .strawberry flower will work.
Julia: *nods, pulls out needle*
Shana: *cringes* You can do it.
Julia: *injects sedatives*
Hally: *stops shaking*
Shana: Strawberry flower?
Julia: Um. . .garden?
Alekiera: Why's sady need a rawberry tower?
Julia: Hommade remedy? Honestly, I have no idea.
Alekiera: Like a potion?
Julia: I guess.
Alekiera: I think mommy has rawberries.
Julia: Yeah?
Alekiera: We can go see!
Shana: She is calm now, so we can walk there.
Morie: Okay.
Shana: *starts walking out* Alekiera, lead the way.
Alekiera: *points* Dat way!
Nyn, Morie, and Julia: *starts walking*
Alekiera: *bounces*
Morie: How far is your house?
Alekiera: Our country home is up the hill in the woods I came from.
Nyn: That's not that far, then.
Alekiera: Nopies.
Julia: Who are you, anyway, kid?
Alekiera: I'm Alekiera!
Julia: I'm Julia. Nice to meet you.
Alekiera: Hi 'ulia. I bet you'll be happy if you keep fowolin us. Oh, yeah, you guys can't tell where mommy and daddy live. They like their pri-vasy.
Shana: Well, Julie, I'm Shana and this *raises Hally a bit* is Hally.
Mrie: We won't tell.
Shana: Who will I tell?
Alekiera: Kays!
Morie: How much further?
Nyn: Don't whine.
Shana: We can't take our time. She does have to come conscious soon.
Alekiera: I told you. It's just up da hill and through the woods. *starts humming*
Nyn: *nods*
Alekiera: See! Here's the hill.
Morie: Oh thank god!
Alekiera: *laughs*
Julia: *checks Hally's pulse*
Alekiera: *bounces* Kay, now through the wood path*
Shana: *nods* She won't die. . .she can't die. She'll just be in pain if she doesn't get the strawberry.
Julia: How do you know she won't die?
Shana: She just won't.
Julia: That's not an answer.
Shana: That's my answer and that's all you're going to get until I get to know you more.
Julia: My name is Julia Alleie, I've been a nurse for six out of twenty-five years, I was married at twenty. His name was Janme, he died in the war last year. Tell me how you know she won't die.
Shana: She's immortal.
Julia: I see. How did that happen?
Shana: I resurrected her.
Julia: *slow nod*
Shana: You okay?
Julia: Are you an alien?
Shana: I am of a different species, alien to this world, citizen of the later world.
Julia: Cool!
Morie: *nods enthusiastically*
Shana: I'm sure Hally will be angry if she find out you know. She is a human, by the way. . .whe she comes conscious, act like you don't know.
Morie: Okay.
Shana: Any questions?
Nyn: Why are you here?
Shana: The humans are quoing to end up destroying their world.
Nyn: Our.
Shana: Your future world. Tell me, is WWIV going on now?
Morie: Three.
Shana: Okay. In about five years, the world will go into another great depression. Then a few years after that, WWIV will happen. In the process of going to my planet. The world pisses the universe off, which causes a universal war. But right now in WWIII, two civil wars are going to erupt.
Nyn: *nods* Frace is on it's way to that. What's the other?
Alekiera: Russia, 'n'it?
Nyn: Smart little kid.
Alekiera: *grins proudly*
Shana: *nods* Russia. . .Julia. . .You look a little stunned.
Julia: Um. . .maybe just a little.
Shana: *grins* Anyway, Alekiera, how often do you see your dad?
Alekiera: He comes back a lot, and he's on'y got six years left.
Shana: *nods* What's his name?
Alekiera: Mikey!
Shana: Is that the house? *points ahead*
Alekiera: Yup!
Shana: Good.
Nyn: Why are we all going?
Shana: Psychological interest. I'm a time traveling quote un-quote alien with a time traveling human. Put the puzzle together and you have your answer.
Morie: We don't have any puzzle pieces.
Alekiera: I gots some!
Morie: Okay, we can use those.
Nyn: I think it was a metaphor.
Alekiera: What's a metaphor?
Shana: Metaphor is a comparison of thwo things, like for instance, I'm comparing everyone's interests to puzzle pieces. . .Here. *shifts Hally so one hand is free, then waves hand slightly to make a small breeze that lifted the puzzle pieces out of Alekiera's pocket* I will change your puzzle pieces for now. *waves hand and pictures change, then she waves hand the puzzle comes together* There's you guys walking with question marks symbolizing your interest, there is what you used to percieve as an alien, then the equal sign leads you to following me. Is that a little more simple for you Alekiera? *changes puzzle pieces back to normal and pieces fall back into Alekiera's pocket*
Nyn: *I barely understood that.
Shana: It's simple as this. . .you want to know more or you actually care whether or not my friend wakes up. Possible both, maybe your eyes percieve but your mind is lost. I don't know why you followed. Just your interest got to you.
Alekiera: *cheers* Ghosy has special powers too!
Shana: *rolls eyes*
Nyn: *opens mouth*
Morie: Don't.
Shana: What?
Nyn: Nothing.
Julia: Ghosty-lady?
Shana: *puts hand in front of a breezeway and her hand goes transparent* Ghosty-lady, or which I rather be called an Elemental.
Julia: Isee.
Shana: *hand solidifies* I can turn to dust, water, solid rock, fire, wind.
Julia: That's cool.
Shana: It's okay, I guess. . .I wish I had teleportation and telekineses and everything else tele. . .There are many species, this world just has to be open enough to accept them. You are definitely not the dominant species. Unfortunately, many leaders of this world are too conceited to admit it. *continues walking then stops* Julia. . .Julia what's your last name. I knew of someone named Julia, and you look exactly like her.
Hally: *starts mumbling*
Julia: I haven't decided on one yet.
Alekiera: *suirms* Lemme down! *waves wildly* Hi mommy!
Morie: *swings Alekiera down*
Alekiera: *runs to the back porch* Mommy!
Marie: *scoops him up and gets hugged around the neck* Hey 'kiera. Who are your friends?
Morie: I'm Morie. That's Nyn, Julia, Shana, and I forget the unconscious girls name.
Alekiera: 'allie. Mommy, do I get a birhday party dis year? Is it gonna be big like last years with balloons and games and cake?
Marie: *laughs* Of course you will 'kiera my little genius. *butterfly kiss*
Alekiera: *grins brightly* Yay!
Julia: Madame?
Marie: *looks up* Yes?
Julia: Your son told us you might have a strawberry flower?
Marie: Of course. Follow me. *strides into house* Strawberries are my favourite fruit, so I grow them myself.
Alekiera: They're to make the sady better, mommy.
Julia: *nods while following* Shana says they'll help wake her up.
Marie: What happened to her?
Nyn: No clue. Morie and I found the two of them in the woods.
Marie: Interesting.*steps through a door into a garden* I suppose they aren't going to say either. *looks at Shana*
Nyn: *shrug* They don't seem so inclined.
Morie: Oh. This is a very pretty garden, madame.
Marie: Merci, madamoiselle. *does a curtsy*
Morie: You're welcome.
Marie: You may take what you need.
Morie: Thank you. *looks at Julia* You're the nurse.
Julia: I haven't got a clue what I'm doing. Beyond following instructions. *nods at Shana*
Shana: *sets Hally on the ground* Thank you very much. *walks over to strawberries and picks a few* These will work. *walks to Hally and sets her head up, then opens her eyes and queezes the juice out of the strawberries and into her eyes* Rackshein Delian Beckh. *puts the remainder of the berries in Hally's mouth and makes her swallow*
Hally: *takes a deep breath and mumbles a little, then sits up fast* Where am I? Who are. . .
Shana: *puts fingers on Hally's mouth* Not now. By the way, her name is Hally. Hally, this is *points to everyone* Morie, Nyn, Julie, Alekiera, and Alekiera's mom. Uh. . .Comment t'appelle tu?
Marie: Je m'appelle Marie. I didn't know you spke French, miss.
Shana: I learned years ago.
Hally: What's going on?
Shana: You were in a coma.
Nyn: We brough you to the Center, but we didn't have strawberries there.
Hally: Ahh!
Shana: *whispering, to Hally* All know except Marie.
Hally: What?
Morie: What?
Hally: How much do you know Morie?
Morie: . . .enough.
Hally: Shana. . .*shakes head*
Morie: Is Shana in trouble?
Hally: Oh yeah.
Shana: They needed to know!
Hally: *eyes Shana* Gov't officials only!
Shana: Alekiera saw. . .*looks down then back at Hally*
Nyn: Morie and I are. . .I suppose government officials is as good a word as any.
Shana: Why didn't you tell me?
Nyn: You didn't ask.
Shana: *rolls eyes*
Nyn: *shrug*
Marie: What don't I know?
Alekiera: *puts finger to lips* Shh.
Morie: That's their secret to tell.
Marie: Okay.
Hally: Since you're the only one who doesn't know. . .We are from the future. The not too far future. 2227 to be exact. The human race got itself in a slight predicament. . .In the process of going to a distant planet. . .
Shana: My planet, actually.
Hally: *glares at Shana* Yes, on the way to her planet. We basically made a few other species, extremely advanced species, very mad. The world is very superficial in the future and instead of dealing with their own problems, they decided to get involved intergalactically and later in the process destroyed more than half the Earth. Eventually leading up to the destruction are the depression, WWIV, the Interstellar War, *dumbfounded* I can't remember. . .
Shana: Give yourself a rest. I never told them about the Interstellar War.
Hally: *raises eyebrow* Why not?
Shana: Because it's the main event. . .that leads to the destruction. . .
Hally: Shana, why don't you take Alekiera into another room. I sense this child is going to be a keypoint in the future, and I don't want to change it too much, too soon.
Shana: *nods* Wanna go for a ride? *takes Alekiera into another room*
Hally: Now, Marie. . .what I'm about to say is the key to much of what happened.
Morie, Nyn, and Julia: *watch*
Marie: And why is my son a key factor?
Hally: He knows a lot already. And all he has heard will affect later life.
Marie: He isn't even two yet. If you get him hurt you will regret it.
Nyn: Morie and I won't let any harm come to the child.
Marie: Good.
Hally: I'm not trying to kill anyone. *glares* I'm trying to save this world from destroying itself. I left a few things out about what will be happening. If you would, Marie, let me know your last name?
Marie: I'm not saying you're going to kill anyone. I don't want my son hurt. My name is Marie Aaire.
Hally: Okay, Mrs. Aaire. Your child may only be two years old, but he is extremely intelligent from what I've seen in these past few moments of my awakening. Children like him are going to be put in. . .well, given power later. Sort of like the US Senate, House of Reps and the President combined into one.
Shana: *from another room* Much more power!
Hally: Yeah, well, you also don't have to worry 'bout your son getting hurt.
Marie: Well, you are not taking him anywhere without me.
Nyn: You're free to come with us.
Marie: Good.
Hally: Perfectly safe. . .Well, he won't be harmed. Shana, bring him in here.
Shana: *brings him in*
Alekiera: Mommy, where are Trin and Rainy?
Marie: They're in the house somewhere 'kiera.
Alekiera: Kay! Ghosty sady wanna meet my sissies?
Shana: *smiles* Okay little one.
Hally: SIsters?
Alekiera: Ja!
Hally: *sighs* Okay. Marie, do you have transportation?
Marie: Of course, miss. What kind do you need?
Hally: Something that moves, of course.
Marie: *smiles* I mean land or air.
Hally: Which would be faster?
Shana: Let's go get your sisters.
Alekiera: Okay! *runs into house* Trin! Rainy!
Nyn: I'll go with you.
Marie: *smiling* He's so full of energy.
Julia: Children often are.
Marie: Yeah.
Julia: So, how old are his sisters?
Alekiera: Trin is 7 and Rainy is 4.
Julia: *looks at kids* Hi there.
Trinity: Hi.
Raine: Hiya!
Nyn and Morie: Hey. *eye each other*
Raine: Yes?
Shana: They seem excited.
Morie: They're cute.
Hally: So we ready now?
Nyn: Absolutely.
Hally: So again, what is the transportation?
Julia: Air would be easier. *looks at Morie*
Marie: *nods* Come here 'kiera, let's go get the plane.
Nyn: *nods and follows*
Alekiera: *tackles Marie's leg* Mommy, I love you!
Marie: *laughs and swings him up and goes towards the plane*
Morie and Julia: *following*
Raine: Where are we going, mommy?
Marie: We're helping these people out.
Hally: And helping yourself.
Nyn: So you say.
Hally: You're helping undo the destruction of-
Shana: *puts hand over Hally's mouth* No need to speak of it anymore. We're here to prevent it.
Morie: You people are annoyingly cryptic.
Marie: *nods* I see. 'kiera, go get the seats ready for everyone.
Nyn: *to Marie* Thank you.
