Ten years after the success of the black knight's war against the world, the once prosperous city of Saint Haven lies in ruins. Nothing remained but rubbles and corpses on the streets where children used to play. The castle which used to house the Royal King, now only filled with the vines the gardeners use to tend. The old shops burnt to ashes by the Dragon Followers. Even the divine church of the Clerics was vandalized and abandoned by the orcs who raided it for its golden materials. All of this was the normal sight for Dia.
As she strolled through what used to be Berlin's shop, she looked for scrap metal to finish her newest invention. She still remembers how the old blacksmith fell to his knees after he learned that all his cousins died, he was never the same after that. She promised herself, after seeing that sight, that she would do everything in her might to fix this mess. When she thought she had what she needed; she went back to the hideout of the resistance.
When Dia got back to the hideout she was greeted with a cold shoulder by all the people including the leaders, who approached her. "You were out on the surface again weren't you?"
Dia sarcastically replied, "Oh no. I was at my bunker just now"
"You know the consequences for disobeying the laws."
"Everyone does."
"No leaving your bunker for a week and this is the last time we will tolerate your disrespect for those who are higher than you."
She made a lousy bow and a half-hearted apology but as she left, she let out a devious smirk because she knows that she already has everything she needs.
Her bunker consisted of a neat and organized desk which she uses to compose solutions and chemicals for the bio weapons the resistance uses, a worn-down drawer filled with her tools and some scrap metal to use for her inventions, and the bunk beds of her and Laki's. Laki is a fellow "tinkerer" and roommate of Dia who helps her find metal in the city and finish her inventions. Unlike the thin, nerdy looking Dia, she was rather beautiful with her blue hair and fair complexion.
When Dia came in, Laki scurried to her and said, "Did you find anything worthwhile?"
"I found some metal and wires by the shop of old man Berlin."
"That's it?"
"And"
"And?"
"And this"
She brought out a glowing topaz orb which shined with a dazzling glow.
Grabbing the orb, "Where'd you find this?"
"By the port ruins, I think it came from the Nautilus."
"This is it!" Laki excitedly said. "This is the last thing we need for it! We can finally change everything!"
Dia let out a tear knowing all that she has promised to herself would be fulfilled. She knew that her better life was now within her grasp
"Well don't just stand there! Let's do this!"
The pair worked all day and all night for five days to finish the machine. For five days they thought of nothing but changing the past to rewrite the present free from suffering and sorrow, free from tears and free from the resistance.
"Are we finished yet Dia?"
"Almost. Equalizer A needs to be fixed, it's been letting out sparks for a while now"
"Do you think it might affect the machine?"
"I don't think it will. It's just a minor component of it anyway."
Dia placed the chip back in the machine assuming that nothing will happen.
"I think we're good."
"We are? Are you sure? We only have one shot at this you know. We have to make sure that everything is perfect, we don't have room for anymore mistakes Dia."
"Hey, I'm Head Tinkerer Diane of the resistance, remember? I don't make mistakes."
Laki let out a loud laugh. "Whatever Ms. Major-Captain-Diane. Get suited up will you?"
A few minutes later Dia showed up wearing her special suit, an orange tunic with matching beret, gloves, shoes, and pants, the official uniform of head tinkerer.
"Well, well, well. We can't fight evil without being fashionable aren't we?"
"Hey my uniform is very suited for whatever dangers that may lie ahead."
"Speaking of danger I thought I might give you a present"
Laki gave Dia a small capsule containing a miniature robot inside.
"Laks… You're giving me Alfredo?"
"Yeah, you'll need it out there more than I would in here."
Hugging Laki, she said, "I love you Laki. You're the best friend anyone could ever ask for."
"Just stay safe. Okay girl?"
"I will"
Dia took her expandable Cannon with her along with a few capsules and vials containing some of her past inventions and experiments.
"Let's do this."
"Okay then, bring the telecommunication device so I can see what's happening."
"Can it communicate even with the time difference?"
"Of course, I'm the co Head tinkerer of the resistance remember?"
"Yeah you are."
"So,wanna go?"
"Okay."
Laki turned on the machine and set the date on the machine for ten years in the past. She then pulled down a lever and then black portal appeared in front of Dia.
"Goodbye Dia."
"Goodbye Laki", Dia then jumped into the portal unknowing of what lies ahead.
