Chapter 1

Robert Callaghan was lying in his prison cell with a smug smile on his face. He thought of the whole reason he was there in the first place…Hiro and Akari. If their brother hadn't died, causing them to find the microbot, he wouldn't be there.

He would've gotten his revenge on Krei for 'killing' his daughter and he could've moved on with his life. But now that he knows that Abigail was alive in the portal, he wished he could spend time with her and not during visiting hours in San Fransokyo's prison.

The reason for his smug smile was because of his brand new plan, his plan to get out of prison, and never return. He just came back from a visit from one of his old colleagues, and was given something, but no one knew.

What he was given was a time machine. Well, not really a time machine, more like a 'go back to the past one time and never return' machine. All he needed to do was input the date he wanted to go back to, and he would go there. He had to think about that for a long time, because where exactly did he want to go?

He knew he wanted to stop Hiro and Akari from ever defeating him, but ending up to early in the past could ruin his entire plan, not to mention it was only a onetime thing. After about an hour, he decided where he wanted to go. He was nervous and a bit exhilarated at the same time.

He was nervous because he didn't know what would happen after he pressed the button, and he was exhilarated because he could change the past, and keep horrible things in his life from happening.

Callaghan decided to wait until sunset, after he had eaten his final meal in the cafeteria to press the button. He was told to go back to his cell, and did as he was told. He waited until the prison guards had left his area before pulling out the button from under his mattress.

When he pulled it out, he input the date where he wanted to go back to, and he pressed the button. Emitting a flash of light, he and the button in his hand, disappeared.


Another flash of light placed Callaghan in the center of San Fransokyo Park. The first thing he noticed is that he was 14 years younger in appearance, but he still had knowledge of the future. Looking around to see if the button worked, he found a newspaper and picked it up.

He gasped in shock. It worked! He was taken back in time! Back to the date February 17th 2042…

Back to the date where Hiro and Akari Hamada were born.

He rushed off to the San Fransokyo General Hospital, and began to prepare his plan.


When he arrived at the hospital, he asked the woman at the front desk where the nursery was. She gave him a smile and told him it was on the 2nd floor.

He thanked her and walked towards the elevator. When he got to the second floor, he walked down the hallway to the nursery, and saw a little boy standing outside the window. He recognized that boy immediately.

He was none other than Tadashi Hamada. Callaghan couldn't help but notice how much he looked like his 18 year old self when he was 4 years old. The only difference, besides the obvious, was that he had messy hair like Hiro's, and his clothes.

Callaghan walked up to the window and looked at all of the babies in the room, but he didn't know which ones were Hiro and Akari. So he decided to ask Tadashi.

"Which one is yours?" Callaghan asked in a friendly voice.

"Those two," Tadashi said and pointed to the set of twins in the corner, crying in sync.

"Tadashi," a man called from down the hall, and Callaghan looked up to see a man who Tadashi resembled greatly. Callaghan guessed this was Tadashi's father.

"Coming! Bye mister," Tadashi said and ran off to his father.

Callaghan watched Tadashi run off into the elevator. As it closed, he turned back to the window. He looked at Hiro and Akari, and noticed at even less than a day old, the two of them cared for each other very much. Akari was grabbing the air towards Hiro and the nurse inside picked her up and placed her next to her brother, where they fell asleep together almost instantly. He also noticed that they, just like every other baby in the nursery, had a blanket wrapped around them with their name sown into it.

Now noticing that everyone that was in the hallway and the nursery was gone, he opened the door, grabbed the twins, and headed towards the stairs. No one used the stairs unless there was an emergency, so he thought he could get away with it. Akari was starting to stir, and when she did, Hiro did too.

After raising his own daughter, who would be 7 years old right now, he knows what happens when a baby starts to stir…they cry. They cry so loud they could blow your eardrums out, so he gently bounced the two of them up and down, and they fell back asleep.

Once he reached the exit at the bottom of the stairs, he ran out and carried the twins out the door. He went back to the park, but a more secluded area, and placed the two of them in a small bush. He honestly didn't care what happened to them now, because they couldn't mess with his plans for the future anymore. Sure, he'd have to wait 14 more years to get his revenge, but it's better than being sentenced to a life in prison.

He walked away from the bush quickly after he placed the-now awake-twins down in the bush. He walked off with an evil grin on his face, because his plan was finally complete.


If you wanted to, you could consider this as a sequel for "7 Intrepid Friends" as well as "Try To Picture Yourself Without Us." this story is going to have some interesting parts, boring parts, and cliffhangers, but if you like this story, stay tuned, I will update it ASAP.

Follow and Review! See you in the next chapter!
