In a distant time and place, far from our own…..
Alarms were blaring, jets were flying over a city plunged into chaos.
The local population had turned onto its government and were attempting to besiege a skyscraper that was in the middle of the city, the government building,
Soldiers were attempting to defend the building the building the best as they can but can't seem to hold out for much longer
All the while, two figures were watching the terror unfold from the tower itself,
"The troops won't hold out for long, general" one of them began
"I am well aware but we cannot afford to lose the Capital" the general replied
"We need reinforcements!" the figure exclaimed
"They are too far away to reach in time" the general replied
"then follow me" the figure said as he walked into an office
He was then stopped by a trooper
"sir, the premier is gone. What shall we do?" the trooper said
"Yes, the coward has already fled, defend the building, no one is to be allowed in until reinforcements arrive" the figure said
"Yes Sir!" the trooper said before leaving
"don't be ridiculous Cherdenko, they won't hold out that long" the general said
"I am well aware General Kakarow, that's why we must hurry" Cherdenko replied as he entered a secret elevator inside the office
"quickly general, we must hurry" Cherdenko said as he signaled the general to come into the elevator
"What is this? Some sort of coward escape route?" General Kakarow asked as he stepped into the secret elevator
"No sir. you see I was put in charge of a top secret battle plan three months ago that would change the course of the war" Cherdenko began as the elevator began to descend rapidly
"whatever it is, it is too late now" General Kakarow replied
"with all due respect, General, you are wrong." Cherdenko said as the elevator came to a halt
Cherdenko then stepped out of the elevator into a vast underground laboratory with scientists all hard at work with a gigantic cone shaped capsule in the middle of the room, "For you see comrade general, time is on our side!"
Cherdenko then walked towards a scientist who was assumedly the chief scientist
"Prepare the time machine for travel" Cherdenko ordered the chief scientist
"No, no, no. I have not done all the calculations before we can alter anything" The chief scientist replied
"Alter what?" General Kakarow asked
"History!" The chief scientist exclaimed
" Prepare the machine now!" Cherdenko ordered
"Okay" the chief scientist said in defeat
The chief scientist then entered into the time machine and began preparing the time machine for travel,
"Cherdenko, you cannot be serious, we cannot alter the past, it would tear apart the space time continuum and kill us all" General Kakarow said
"Come, general, a new world order awaits!" Cherdenko said as he got into the time machine
Suddenly, the elevator leading to the underground laboratory exploded and rebels began flooding into the laboratory and opening fire onto the scientists
"Quickly General! We need to hurry!" Cherdenko said as he signaled the general into the time time machine
"Lock the Hatch!" the chief scientist ordered
Two scientists outside the time machine locked the hatch
"Prepare for Time Warp!" the chief scientist exclaimed as he pulled a lever and a blue flash filled the time machine temporarily causing everyone to black out
TIME WARP!
General Kakarow realized he was in some sort of huge council chamber with millions of people watching a figure giving a speech
"Where are we Cherdenko?" General Kakarow asked
"When are we," the chief scientist corrected
" The republic senate chamber, on the last day of the republic and the first day of the Galactic Empire!" Cherdenko said
"Are we really back in time?" General Kakarow asked as he was about to touch a surveillance drone that was providing live feed of the figure that was giving a speech
"Touch Nothing! We cannot afford to alter the space time continuum yet, I have not finish my calculations" the chief scientist said as he stopped the general
The chief scientist then noted the figure giving a speech to everyone, he then asked "Is that the emperor?"
"Yes, doctor, the man most responsible for our current state of disarray and backstabbing us and giving the allied republics a chance to change the course of their fate, from defeat to victory " Cherdenko said
"What do you plan on doing?" the scientist asked in a worried tone
Cherdenko then raised a gun aimed to the emperor's head.
"NO!" the scientist yelled but was too late to stop Oleg from opening fire killing the emperor
"What have you done?!" the scientist yelled
Suddenly the whole chamber was filled with a blue flash
They were then brought back to where they were earlier, the government building
"what happened?" General Kakarow asked
"we have changed the past and altered the present" The chief scientist said
Suddenly a female figure walked into the office, "Ah, sir. I have the report on the front you asked for" she said
"Ah, thank you. What do you have for me?" General Kakarow said
"I'm sorry General Kakarow, I was talking to High Supreme Premier Oleg Cherdenko of the Soviet Empire" the female figure replied
General Kakarow looked towards Cherdenko with an envy in his eye
"Sir, the allied armies are on the run, we have half of the multiverse in our possession!" the female figure exclaimed
"Do you hear that general? We have emerged victorious and the allied republic forces are on the run, we are victorious!" Premier Cherdenko exclaimed
A trooper then handed the female figure a datapad,
"Sir, hold that thought. I'm getting reports of a rebel uprising on the planet of Lothal,"
"Leave them be, we have more important issues at hand" Premier Cherdenko said
"Yes, sir. I will just dispatch extra troops to aid Minister Tua to fight off the rebels for now" The female figure said before leaving
