Welcome to Diamond City Chronicles #7, folks! This one will be a little different since the title is likely a giveaway to time-travel - which, so far, is possible in fantasy but not reality for obvious reasons. But other than that, here's the prologue! And as always, I recommend reading the earlier DCC entries within my revamped series firsthand before going any further if you haven't already.
DISCLAIMER: Bomberman belongs to Hudson Soft, despite the company being in Konami's hands as of March 1, 2012 (with the latter having bought them out). WarioWare, on the other hand, is owned by Nintendo, whereas Contra belongs to Konami. Final Fantasy is a property of Square-Enix. Any songs "used" throughout the course of this fanfic are properties of their respective owners, along with any characters that aren't within the four franchises listed here, unless stated otherwise.

Prologue
CHEERFUL WHITE'S P.O.V.
Wow...what can I say? I mean...uh, gimme a sec to gather my thoughts. Okay, now I feel a little better - and I mean little! Here's the short version: it's been a whole month since that Project: ACT ZERO incident, but it wasn't the only thing going on. Some power-mad hater of my kind named General Shepherd hired a bunch of convicted felons in a desperate attempt to kill me and my friends, and that's including 9-Volt, Phoebe, and especially one of my best friends: Cute Pink! This all happened while Aaron, Ami, Blaze Bomber, and Arctic Bomber went to the restricted Area 51 to take out the rogue general and his personal army of the armored "Super Bombermen" (or as my friends and I would call them: the Zero Men) at the source. As for ourselves, we're glad Bill and Lance were there to protect us from those Killer Mohawks, otherwise we'd be dead by now!
Oh, and get this: apparently Shepherd had been stockpiling what our Contra pals came to call the Bacterion warships in secrecy as part of his plot to not only destroy my people of planet Bomber, but also to make himself the absolute ruler of the United States. Thank Mihaele our four heroic Contras got rid of him and the stolen warships! I mean, heck, he even tried to blow up Diamond City with some of those warships just to kill us!
Anyway, Project: ACT ZERO is long gone and so is Area 51. I can understand Aaron, Ami, Blaze, and Arctic's guilt for what they did, since that base was supposed to be government property...but you know what 9-Volt, Phoebe, Kat, Ana, Pink, and I think? We think they did the right thing in a defensive response to General Shepherd's failed attempt to destroy the city. Even Bill and Lance thought the same as well, because then the Bacterion warships would have self-activated and threatened the Earth, had the Contras not destroyed the base by setting the enemy ships to self-destruct all at once. I'm sure it's an understandable reason what they did at Area 51 had to be done...
Well, despite their efforts to come home alive, the CrygorCopter was destroyed, but at least their Contra Cruiser is still running fine. Speaking of which, Penny Crygor and Blaze Bomber had just built a new CrygorCopter and assigned me, Pink, and Arctic Bomber to test its flight capabilities. Take, for example, being able to survive reentry through Earth's atmosphere. We thought this would turn out to be such a nice day...but we all thought wrong.
END P.O.V.
Cheerful White (aka. Shirobon, White Bomber), Cute Pink (aka. Pretty Bomber), and Arctic Bomber's quest is about to begin...but not in a way they think.
