This is my attempt at a Terminator type story. Hope you enjoy it!


Azura was studying alongside her teammates in their room for a history test coming up soon. History wasn't a strong subject of hers, so she had to be extra thorough in studying.

As she flipped the page of her textbook, a strange thing happened. A ball of energy appeared in their room. It pulsed and crackled with power. It drew the attention of everyone in the room. Then finally, the ball transformed into a person.

This person had similar garb as Storm. The only real differences she could see between them were that he had a mechanical mask of some sort, which glowed blue at the visor, and a robotic right arm! As the newcomer removed his mask, his face was almost exactly like Storm's—except for age, which was significantly different, and that he had shaved his sideburns.

"Don't freak out, Storm," the newcomer said. "I'm you from the future!"

"I gathered that," their Storm said.

This was weird. Azura couldn't think one way or another right now. All she could do was watch in confusion.

"I've come back in time to give you this mission," the new Storm said. "You see, in the future, there's this guy who ends up going around creating all sorts of havoc. I/we figured out how to time travel, so I've come back in time to kill him."

"It's not Rusti, is it?" Azura said, hoping it was.

"No, all the details are on this device," new Storm said, handing their Storm a small cube of some sort. "By the time you figure out how to time travel, they should have devices that can read the information on that. I'm doing this because if I don't give the past me this mission, then I don't have any reason to go back and kill him once I've done it once."

"Oh, so you've overcome the Exterminator plot hole?" their Storm said.

"Yep."

"Okay, but I have a couple questions."

"Go ahead."

"Why don't I have a beard like I wanted?" Seriously, he asked that?

"Because the atmosphere is so toxic in my time, that you can't go around without a gasmask of some sort. So I had to shave my beard for the gasmask. Don't worry though, it's only because of the guy I'm going to kill that the air gets that way. I should have a beard once I do this."

"Okay, another question: is it because of this villain that I lose my arm?" their Storm asked.

"Actually, no. You cut off your own arm in order to replace it with a robot one."

"Seriously?" Azura said.

"What? Having a robot arm is fun," the new Storm said.

"Yeah, I want one," their Storm said.

Azura looked at them with astonishment. "You two are weird."

"We're the same person!" both of the Storms said.

"Anyway, I've got to go kill an evil villain before he destroys the world. Goodbye!" And the future Storm disappeared.

"What the heck was that?" Rusti said.

"I don't know, Rusti, I don't know," Feather said.


What did you think of that? Please leave your thoughts in a review. Seriously, it'll be the first review I've gotten... ever.
