Chapter 1
Rini jumped up in the air as she dodged an attack from a fusion spawn. Her fingers were placed on the trigger of her rifle carefully, she landed one second later. The fusion spawn jumped up in the air and Rini pulled the trigger immediately killing the spawn. Light drops of corrosive fusion matter fell down on her sweater, it didn't really matter to her, she was used to it.
I can just remember when I arrived here in the future thanks to Dexter's stupid sister.
A couple of days ago she was a normal teenager still in school, studying, having fun with friends, especially with her best friend, Kishimu. Even though it was a couple of days ago, it felt like months. Rini had clear memories of being a normal person before signing up for the time-travel experiment, now she's stuck a couple of years into the future.
Looking at the ground, she realized there was an item that the fusion spawn had inside of it. It was probably the item Numbuh Five requested twenty minutes ago, the Synchronizing Engine for the time machine. Collecting the pieces of wood, or the "2x4" technology as the KND would say it, as well as the paste was pretty easy. However these Cyber Stingers were annoying, Rini still didn't get a better weapon than the lightning gun and it was quite hard to shoot them down with that basic weapon. Eventually after killing twenty of them, she had gotten another part for the engine, at least she thought so.
Picking up the item which was thought to be the Chrono Capacitor, she moved onwards. After killing a myriad of monsters, she was quite tired. As soon as Rini sat down on the grass, she realized it was getting infected by a Terrafuser nearby and sighed, as she was walking away, she heard a voice, it was from her NanoCom.
"Did you get the Chrono Capactitor?" the familiar voice said, it was quite feminine and Rini realized it was Numbuh Five, it was quite hard to know who was talking with the communicator in the NanoCom.
"Yeah, I think so. What else do we need for the Synchronizing Engine? I'm getting tired so I just want to finish this up already."
"One last thing, see if you can find a Drive Casting on the rooftops around there, I don't know exactly where it is, but you better start looking!" As soon as Rini heard this, she stood there for a couple of seconds to take in that she had to look around realizing Numbuh Five was behind her.
Why are we using the NanoCom again? Rini thought this for a second as she realized there were KND crates with a ladder going up to a roof, a nice and easy way to get to the rooftop of a house. From one box and to the third, she was on top of the ladder in an instant. She looked around for something and found an odd box on top of the roof, Rini opened it up fast and found an unfamiliar item.
"That's the Drive Casting, duh." Numbuh Five said below. "Come on down, you're done with the mission." Rini sighed and jumped down from the building and handed over the three items. "Thanks, I'll get this over to Hoagie soon, take some Taros and these pants."
Rini took the pants that looked quite futuristic, it was only a month in the future and she realized it was from Tech Square, these pants were too complicated and she just was happy to finish the mission.
"Well time to get back to the treehouse to get some foo-"
The ground started to shake and interupted the girl, Numbuh Five seemed startled with a few other people getting finishing up killing fusions. A shadow stood over Rini, looking up, she saw a giant fusion monster heading towards everyone.
As the monster started to come down the street, many started to flee, Rini joined them as well, her legs moving as fast as she could.
"Oh yeah, I can use my Numbuh Two nano." Rini ran while summoning her nano, the mini Numbuh Two looked behind him and realized there was a giant monster chasing after them.
"Hurry up! Here I'll give you a speed boost." the nano exclaimed. "Thanks, I'm going to need it."
The two ran up a slope of a hill, it was wierdly placed, it was most likely due to the fact that terrafusers injected fusion matter into the ground, the Earth was terrible now. The small version of Numbuh Two realized that he didn't even have to run and taunted the fusion monster by sticking out his tongue. The monster glared at them with clear intention of killing with it's movement, and Rini had to dodge to avoid it's swinging pinchers.
All of a sudden, the monster thrust it's head forward and roared in anger, someone was attacking it. The monster jerked once and went limp, Rini turned around and told her nano to go rest and it did. The fusion monster tried getting up and collapsed, fusion matter seeped from a sword in it's torso, and the ground was tainted by it.
Rini stopped to take a breath and looked over to find out who's sword it was, it seemed like a katana and it seemed heavily used. A boy with short white hair came up from behind the dead monster and took the sword out of the torso and started to walk away.
"Thanks by the way, for you know, saving me and well I guess everyone else got away." Rini said. "Hey are you listening!" The boy looked behind him and mumbled something.
"What?"
"I said, you're welcome." he finally replied. Rini noticed that there was some warm triumph flooding through the boy. "I know you want this crate so here, take it, I can wait for some to show up."
Geez, at least tell me your name.
"So your name is?" Rini asked. There was some silence for a couple of seconds until Rini coughed, "It's Wulf, by the way, do you want something?" The black haired girl thought of it for a second and agreed.
Rini shook her head up and down, "Okay, what is it?" Wulf crouched beside her and opened up his NanoCom to get something, it was food. "Here catch."
Rini opened her hands to catch something that seemed like some bread, her mouth watered as she thought about sinking her teeth into it.
"It's better with some butter y'know." Wulf said while giving some sort of cream over to Rini.
"Thanks again, by the way where do you get this stuff?"
"The Cul-de-sac, you should check it out sometime, anyways I gotta go, see you around." Wulf waved goodbye and sheathed his katana while walking away.
Wulf's a weird name but I've heard weirder, can't top Kishimu's.
Rini bit into the bread and relaxed, she survived another day and she knew she had to get back to the past to warn everyone about Fuse and to help them. She was mostly worried about her best friend as she knew he was hopeless in this war.
The Time Machine is almost done, soon I'll see him again and we could prevent this from happening.
