CROSS X UNIVERSE
One
Message in a bottle
A figure was zooming through the deserted wastelands, yellow lightning dancing across the body. The figure was dressed in a red body suit, her arms and legs blurred out as they moved without stopping for a few moments before they came to a stop, a light huffing tone in her voice.
The figure was a young woman. She was dressed in a complete red outfit which had a golden lightning dancing across the middle of the top bodysuit she was wearing. She also had on boots upon her feet which were red as well. The young woman glanced around herself for a few moments before making her way straight toward the mountain that was in front of her and as she vibrated her body until she actually walked through the wall and found herself standing inside a large room.
The girl glanced around herself and then glanced down at her watch.
"Damn it," she said, "I'm late."
She disappeared in a blur of movements and lightning, zooming through the hallways and passing the emptiness of the building until she came to a stop in front of a large Memorial. The young woman stared at the Memorial for a few moments, noticing the cowl that was seating there upon one of the pedestals. She approached it, a light smile in her eyes as she was observing it for a few moments and then turned her attention toward the name that was inscribed at the bottom of it.
CRIMSON QUEEN MASK
"You're late Madison," a voice called out.
The young woman turned toward the voice finding another woman there but she was seating in a wheelchair. The woman there was staring at her, her eyes seemingly narrowing at her.
"Hey Doc," the woman known as Madison greeted, "I just stopped by the Memorial wall to pay my respect before I come in."
The woman in the wheelchair approached forward until she came to a stop in front of it. The amber eyes stared up toward the many objects that were in front of them and a light melancholic look appeared upon her features.
"Well I miss them too you know," she said with a light smile upon her face.
"How were they like?" Madison asked.
"We met during the initial war," the woman continued, "When the world's Government started to want us freaks to fight for them. We weren't friends at the beginning but…as time goes on, there is no other person that I would have wanted to watch my back when we were out there in the battlefield."
Madison was surprised.
"I heard the old soldiers talk about Freaks before," she said, "But I never thought you were treated differently."
The woman glanced at her.
"Did you find what I asked you for?" she asked.
"Of course," Madison smirked, "It was difficult considering the times, but then again, everything is difficult these days."
She had pulled out a small device from her pouch that was on her back. It didn't look all that impressive to Madison at all but she noticed how her friend's amber eyes light up with the sight of the small cylinder. She instantly took hold of it and stared at the object in her hands.
"So…what is this exactly?" Madison asked.
"This is a little piece of an experimental project," the woman said, "From the research I have been doing these past weeks; I can reverse engineering it to increase your connection to the Speed Force."
Madison stared at her, her eyes wide.
"Are you for real?"
The woman smiled.
"Yes," she said, "If I increase your speed at the speed necessary, you can actually puncture a hole in the space-time continuum. You will connect this timeline to infinite timelines. Past, present and future will all be open and up for grabs for us."
The woman in the wheelchair turned away from Madison who had started to follow after her. The brown haired young woman stared at her friend, completely taken aback.
"Are you saying that I will be able to travel through time with this?" she asked.
The woman nodded at her.
"Yes, you can….in theory."
Madison stared at her friend for a few moments. This was incredible news but learning of the theory raised another questions.
"But…why would you want me to travel back in time?" she asked, "Shouldn't you have at least tried to find a way to defeat…"
"There is no way to defeat him," her friend said, "Even our most powerful allies have fallen to him…Everyday we lost pieces of the world to his armies and it won't be long before he finds us here. I am half of the fighter I was and even with your speed…you are no match for him but if you go back in time…we can change it all…change this entire future…"
Madison stared at her.
"But what about the peoples that are still here," she asked.
A somber look took over the woman's features.
"Everyone's here is already dead," she said, "It's only a matter of time…but we have a chance Madison, a chance to make everything right…tell me, wouldn't you want that chance?"
Madison looked away from her.
"Is something like that even possible," she asked.
"That's what we're going to find out now don't we?" the woman told her with a small smile before wheeling away, "Go get something to eat and rest. This is my work now."
Madison simply stared at the woman for a few moments before turning her gaze toward the Memorial that was behind her. She stared at the many stones that were standing in the memorial in front of her and she let out a sigh before turning away from it. She knew that her name was going to be written in that thing one day as one of the few who died in that long terrible war that destroyed the entire world. Madison made her way toward her room and opened the door.
It was just as she had left it few a few days ago. They were many posters hanging on the wall with other poster there. Madison made her way toward her closet and removed the red suit she was wearing until she was simply dressed in a white shirt and shorts. The young woman then made her way back toward the book that was lying upon her bed with the title Grimm Stories written upon it. She had been reading the book before she had gone on her mission all the way on the other side of the globe.
Jane Madison was one of the people that were purposely modified to have the Meta gene. When she was born, the world was already at war against the enemy they call the Syrls. No one knows where they came from nor why they suddenly appeared but they seems to want to exterminate the human race completely from the surface of the earth. Having not known the world before the war, Madison did her very best to completely learn about it as much as she can. She spends hours in the libraries when she was younger to simply look at the pictures of the large cities and how beautiful it was. Most of the soldiers she fought along with in the battles talked to her about the world before the war and she was always completely enamored by them.
The young woman made her way toward the kitchen and pulled out a couple of pizzas boxes from it. She approached with it and then made her way toward the bed and seat on it. She pulled the book that was on the bed and opened it at the chapter that she had stopped at before continuing to read.
They were many that think that the battle that they had been fighting against was lost. It wasn't difficult to see why many thought like that. Despite how much they have been fighting and how long, the war didn't seem to change at all. They were still losing many people and from the little news that they had of the situation of the rest of the world, things weren't going to be any better.
Everyone's here already dead…it's only a matter of time.
The words from her friend echoed in her mind. She was one of the firsts. She was one of the first that existed in the world…before the war arrived…before everything went to hell. But they had lost so many of their own in that war too. Some that were even more powerful than Madison ever was and they had died...but to travel back in time using the Speed Force…
Madison had never thought that something like that was possible. She understood her power and wanted her to be more connected to the Speed Force enhancing her power to make her go so fast that she'll blast a hole through time and go back to the past.
The young woman placed the book upon the bed beside her and lied there looking up toward the ceiling above her. Her green eyes stared at the ceiling for a few moments before sleep overcame her.
On the other side of the Facility, the woman in the wheelchair was seating in front of screen, her amber eyes fixed upon it. She was typing rapidly and had the small container that Madison had brought to her seating upon a platform which had light passing through it. Then when she finished writing the equation she pressed enter and waited.
CALCULATING…
She stared at the screen, her eyes fixed upon it. Their literal future was riding upon that equation she had spend the past years working on. Ever since she had seen what Madison power could do and analyzed the energy that the girl creates when she ran, a crazy idea started to formulate in her head. She had spend the past years teaching her how to get faster and faster and they have been some improvements but…despite all of that, Madison never reached the speed necessary for her plans to work…
She would have wanted the girl to reach the speed necessary for the formula to work naturally but they were slowly running out of time and it was something that she was pressed for. Turning her gaze toward the screen in front of her, her features become ashen.
CALCULATION FAILED….
"No," she whispered, "No…No…No…,"
The woman instantly started to type again reworking her equation. No…all twenty years of work, everything that she had being working for so long for it not to work. No it was just too unfair…too crazy and for it not too work…
"It can't be," she said.
The words CALCULATION FAILED flashed yet again in front of her. That caused the young woman to yell out in anger as she slammed her fists upon the table in front of her. She ran a hand through her hair before turning her attention toward her books. Wheeling toward it, the woman started to search through her papers and looking at all the notes that she had taken, speed reading through them so that she could actually see if there is something she had missed or if she had made an error somewhere but nothing like that…
I didn't make a mistake, she thought, Everything was precisely calculated…but why has the calculation failed…
She turned her attention toward the canister that was seating in front of her. Her eyes observed it for a few moments before turning her attention away from the object. She reached the end of the room and placed a hand upon the wall.
It opened right in front of her revealing the room behind it. The first thing she noticed was the costume that was on the mannequin right in front of her. It was completely dark with the Fire symbol upon her breast pocket. She stared at the outfit for a few moments before turning away from it. There were other suits in the room as well. One of them had a stylized red S seating upon the chest. One of them had wings symbol upon the front as it was completely black in color. There was one of the suits that were completely dark with a SP in the middle with a hood and gloves.
"Open log 135," the woman said.
A light hum filled the room as the woman let out a sigh.
"I have gathered the ingredient that I need for the Speed Force equation," she started, "But the calculation has failed. The final ingredient that I needed to boost the power of the speed enhancing device was not enough for what I had in mind. It could be that the crystal wasn't strong enough to withstand the level of speed that it need. I will continue to work on a stabilizing agent for the crystal…I need to complete it…or we will lose all hope…"
The woman took a deep breath.
"Can we really change our fate?" she said her gaze on the numerous suits of her fallen comrades, "Can we really avoid what's going to happen to this world? I have spend some years working on this, Madison's speed is the key to our future and despite making some remarkable progress she still hasn't reached the level of speed I needed…"
She let out a soft sigh.
"I really wish that you guys were here," she murmured softly, "I could really use your help on this…"
She stared at the suits again.
"It's been so hard…being the last of the original gang," she murmured, "Seeing all of my beloved friends die before me. I lost count of how many tears I had shed…but it gives me resolves to finish this…to complete the equation and make sure to sent Madison back with this message in a bottle and hope…"
Her eyes glinted.
"Please…make it that I have more time to work on a stabilizing agent,"
And that's how the woman spend the next few days pouring over her work and around the clock to try to make sure the device and her equation worked. She had lost count of how many times the words CALCULATION FAILED flashed bright red on the monitor in front of her. That only gave the woman strength to continue work even more, reworking the equation over and over again…
That is until an alarm started to blare around her. The woman glanced upward at the ceiling which had started to shake before returning her attention toward the screen and typing quickly seeing through the cameras that were inside the facility.
He is here, she thought.
She quickly typed something on her screen before turning her attention toward the canister that Madison had brought her. The young woman opened the device, revealing the crystal that was inside. A little wind gathered around the crystal as it rose from the inside of the canister and then it was placed in the center of a strange hexagon like shape object. A golden glow started to overcome the metal in as the stabilizing agent took place.
Suddenly there was a flash of golden lightning announcing the arrival of the speedster.
"You're late," she said.
"I was fighting against one of the Syrls," Madison said walking into the office.
She was wearing her red outfit, her green eyes looking at her completely taken aback as she stared at the device.
"C'mon with me," the woman said, "We don't have time."
She wheeled herself into her hidden room with Madison following after her and she heard the girl gasping softly at the sight of the costume that were on display on the mannequins. The woman barely notices that as she placed her hand upon the far end of the wall which opened at her touch and revealed a small drive. She took it and turned toward Madison.
"Here," she said, "You have to take this to my past self. To her and no one else do you understand me Madison? You have to convince me of this future…of all of this. At the time you're going back, we were all scattered in our own paths…some darker than others."
Madison took hold of the object from her. The young woman placed her own hand above hers, tightening her grip.
"Madison…we were all different than you know," she continued, "Find us…and bring us together…this is our last hope. You cannot fail do you hear me."
"How will I find you?"
The woman smiled, "I will be quite easy to find compared to the others You have to go to Forge City in the year 2016, that's where you will find the past me. Now place the device on your chest so that it could enhance your connection to the Speed Force."
Madison did so and the young woman let out a soft gasp as lightning started to dance around her body. The metal wrapped around her upper body keeping the object attached to her form. It was pulsing with power and the girl's eyes were shining with soft streak of lightning as well.
"What do I do now?"
"Run…Madison," the woman whispered, "Run to my past…"
Madison looked up at her and said, "thank you Zula. I promise you…I won't fail."
The woman, Zula, nodded at her and then, with a flash of golden lightning, Madison was gone. Zula then leaned back into her chair as she listened to the explosions that were dancing across the Facility. The girl then glanced toward the many suits that were hanging on their mannequins.
It looks like…it's time for me…to join you as well my friends…one last fight.
Then her eyes glowed white.
Madison had come to a stop outside of the Facility as the entire mountain collapsed down upon itself. The girl stared at it and by just looking at it, she knew that it was Zula's doing. The mistress of the Elements knew that she wasn't going to survive the attack. Madison stared at destruction where her home was and she couldn't help the tear that had dripped down her cheek as she watched her mother figure make that sacrifice.
Turning away from it, the young woman took off lightning dancing around her as she ran forward, faster than she had ever ran before. She noticed the difference instantly as she was running and increasing in speed faster and the world was staring to blur together as her speed continued to rise, her connection to the Speed Force granting her even more speed than before and then suddenly there was a flash of light and Jane Madison had punched a hole into the space-time continuum...
And so ends the first chapter of this story. Hope you have enjoyed the read.
