Destiny Kishi - Alternative Stories
Prologue
It was all done. No turning back at that point and he was aware of it. He knew that he'd found the point of no return, the dead end of his life. That that day would happen in his life. He only didn't realize that it would happen so soon. Not when he was finding happiness for the first time.
His light green eyes were in shock when they saw the dead body of the girl he loved lying on the floor of the school hall. A person who hadn't seen what really happened would just say that he had failed in protecting his beloved one. That was what he wished that everbody thought; that was in what he wanted to believe.
But that wasn't the truth, though. Reality can be the most cruel entity in all the universe... and nothing could ever change it. Not even Fate. And he knew that. As a disciple of the Senshi of Pluto, he knew that the death of his beloved couldn't be changed. It was her destiny, to die by his own hands.
The boy once known as Arthur Crossroads held his sword upon his own chest and gave a deep breath, crying for that History was repeating itself again, as in a time that Humanity had forgotten.
But a hand stopped him from taking his own life.
"Let go of me, Chronos! You don't have anything to do here! You know, better than anyone in the cosmos, that you CAN'T change what has already happened! Unhold me!"
"I do know that, Art, son of the Royal House of Earth. But I came here to offer you another chance."
"In another life? No, thank you, Chronos, son of Fate. I don't want to live another life like this, living in fear of losing anybody, because I will always know that she shall die by my hands."
"Here", and the young Chinese man gave him a golden key. "Do you know what is this?"
"A time-space key. What... wait, you can't be serious about that. It's against the rules. A Destiny Kishi cannot travel in time to change its History!"
"Unless the time-space key is given to him by the Guardian of Time", replied Chronos, holding the Time Staff on his right hand. "My mother is dead. I'm the new Guardian of Time. And I give you the permission you need to do so, Earth Destiny Kishi."
"You mean that..."
"Your memory shall be partially erased. Flashbacks shall come in your dreams and you shall also lose your eternity, but not your soul. But then you will be able to meet her again and to change this future."
"Chronos, I...", he gasped, almost crying.
"Don't say anything."
Art smiled. He knew it was in her behalf that the Guardian of Time was breaking the rules. For the first time, a Guardian was letting his heart guide his decisions. It was something that the first Guardian of Time would never allow or agree with and that was something that Art and Chronos knew.
"We shall meet again..."
"I know that... Martin. Thanks."
"May luck be with us all. Good luck."
Art smiled once again. He had another chance to repair his mistakes and, for that, he was grateful to Chronos. And it was time to go.
"Chronos, son of Fate, heir of Pluto, Guardian of Time", and a whirlwind began to surround his body, while his clothes changed from his Kishi uniform to his common clothes. "I beg you a part of your power. Give me the permission I need to travel back in time", the Time Gate appeared in front of Arthur and started to open itself. "By the name of Serenity, Queen of the Moon, I pledge your blessing. Earth Destiny Power!"
The door was finally open. And everything went blank, as time had been erased.

Chronos entered the Palace of Pluto, a sheepish grin on his face. He was still with that expression on his face when another young man, on his twenties, tall, of dark brown hair and green eyes, wearing black pants and boots that almost looked as they were a single cloth, a silver jacket with a white bracket with the symbol of the Moon on his right arm and white gloves, came close to him.
"So you've decided to give him another chance, huh?"
"Hn", he nodded. "I think it's unfair what Destiny reserved to him in all Timelines we visit."
"We're Guardians of all Timelines, Chronos."
"I know that, Moon Fox. Unfortunately for us, there aren't different Destiny Kishi for each Timeline, as there exist other Senshi, other Kishi. We're only to look for all these Timelines", he said, staring at several mirrors on the main hall. Each mirror shown a different image, each one being of a single Timeline.
"It was what she wanted to. After all what happened, discover that we weren't only mere common humans was too much to her", the man called Moon Fox said, picking up a photo frame that stood on a table.
"But you can't forget that there still exists a counterpart of us in each Timeline, Henrique", said another man, with the same clothes that Chronos and Moon Fox were wearing, but with red jacket and the symbol of Mars on his bracket. "We shall always exist. Not as Destiny Kishi, for our essence is already united in a single body, but we will be there with her."
"And how is she?"
"I went to check her on her room. I don't know how she likes to stay on that cold weather..."
"Hey, she's from Mercury, Daniel!"
"There's been a long time since anybody called me like that, but... well, she seemed to be alright. Sleeping as an angel. I just can't understand how can she sleep like that. She must be asleep for sixteen Earth years by now!"
"And she will sleep for more time, Aleph", said Chronos, calling Daniel with a different name. "She won't ever forgive me for what I've done... that's one of the reasons why I'm doing all this."
"Waitasec! You're messing up THAT Timeline only to make Kyn forgive you?!", yelled Moon Fox, getting closer to Chronos. "In OUR Timeline, where WE came from, many years have already passed by. Our great-grandsons are having their KIDS now, we would be nothing but DUST and MEMORIES on their mind! And now you're telling me that you're keeping Kyn of Saphir asleep so that her essence can be united in another being?!"
"Not another being. She shall always be that Japanese girl we met. Remember, that's a different Timeline and I've found her counterpart in that one."
"I just can't BELIEVE that! You're the Guardian of Time, not its GOD! Chronos, be careful on what you're doing!"
"Can I consider that a threaten?"
"Do what you want! I'm outta here!", shouted Moon Fox, leaving the hall.
"Just be careful. You know that no one of us would bear losing her. We don't love her as you and Art do, but we care for her a lot. She's my friend and I won't forgive you if she's hurt in anyway", said Aleph, walking out of the hall. "For her, I can even stay on that chilling room for some minutes more..."
Chronos sat on the main chair of the hall, the chair that once his mother sat during many centuries, taking care of the Time Gate. He knew that what he was doing wasn't exactly the right thing to do. The power of the Garnet Orb was keeping Kyn in a deep sleep, from which she would only awake when the counterpart that carried her essence realized what was happening or when Art finally forgived himself and could give peace to her. When his essence would finally go to his eternal sleep.
But he wouldn't never let her go without colleagues. Neither him or any of the actual Destiny Kishi could leave the Palace of Pluto, but he could send some company to her.
"I can't be with you, but my counterpart can... I shall send a small part of my essence to him, so that he will be there to protect you and to grant that Art's mission will be succeeded. And, with him, I shall send five guardians. Please, find your happiness..."
A small part of energy faded out of Chronos body, like the smoke of a torch on its end. With her, five colored energies went through a mirror, that was showing what was happening in the Timeline Art had chosen to live once more.
