Chapter 4: a better home
Tai and his sisters soon made it back to his offices with very little trouble, but when they arrived they saw a car that none of them recognized sitting out front. "Whose car is that?" asked satsuki. "Probably just a perspective client's." answered Tai as he opened the door. When he opened the door Tai and the girls saw a tall man with some rather weird lookin' blond standing near Tai's desk. "Hi there, not to be rude but what's the case you got for me?" Tai exclaimed. "I need you to find my children." The man replied. "Missing kids huh, yeah I can do that pretty easily what do they look like?" asked Tai as he threw his coat and hat on a nearby hat rack. "Well one's a boy about your age and he looks a lot like you, the others his younger sister she's about two years younger than my son and usually wears white and blue she has long black hair, finally there's their youngest sister she's pretty short has short black hair with a red streak and usually wears red and black." Answered the man as he turned around and satsuki started to choke up abit. "Dad?" asked satsuki with tears in her eyes. "Hey there sweet heart." Replied sorochi. Satsuki ran over and hugged him as hard as she could. "Huh, what's wrong aren't you happy to see me?" asked sorochi. "These are tears of joy." Satsuki replied. "She hasn't seen ya in a while is all dad." Ryuko informed. But then ryuko thought to herself for a minute "How'd I know that was dad?" she asked herself. Meanwhile Tai went behind his desk and saw things had changed ALOT first off there were two photos on his desk instead of the usual one, the first was the same just him and his sisters from that little birthday concert he ryuko and the elite's threw for satsuki a while ago, the second one was a little weird though, it was tai, ryuko, satsuki, and sorochi standing at his old mansion in the mountains and it WASN'T burnt down. "Well that's new." Tai thought to himself. "But she just saw me last week." Sorochi said with a chuckle as he finally managed to pry satsuki off him. "It's been longer for her." Tai answered. "I guess." Sorochi joked. "Still it is good to see you again." Tai admitted. "Yeah well I wouldn't be here if you hadn't kill nui." Sorochi replied. "You know about that?" asked Tai. "I do have security cameras you know." Sorochi replied. Tai then face palmed as he had completely forgot about the cameras in the lab.
Just then the door to the office burst open and dozens of different imagine appeared and started to attack the four. "What the hell are these things?" asked sorochi as he beat one of them off Tai's sword that was on the wall. "Imagine, ryuko satsuki fight time." Replied Tai as he kicked one of the monsters in the gut. "Right bro." replied ryuko as she swung her scissors. "Affirmative." Replied satsuki as she slashed one with bakuzan. The three then transformed into their respective combat modes, but Tai's was a little different. "What the, gaia what the hell did ya do?" asked Tai as he punched an imagine in the nose. "Well since we're fighting imagine I figured this was a better choice." Replied Gaia. "I look like kamen rider zeronos in his Altair form." Tai argued. "Well it fits you." Gaia retorted. "Bro now is not the time for you to be arguing about how your armor looks." Ryuko called as she kick an imagine in the groin. "Right sorry." Tai apologized as he grabbed sorochi and took him outside the building. "Wait here dad." Tai ordered as he ran back into the building but just as he entered the building his sisters came flying out at him and crashed into him. "Ow, that hurt." Ryuko croaked. "No kidding." Satsuki hissed in pain. "Would you two get offa me!" Tai yelled.
Just then a familiar train whistle blew and den-liner rode down onto the street. "Come on we're outta here." Tai ordered as he his sisters and their father boarded den-liner. Soon the train took off into the sky and went back into the land of time. "Thanks for the lift." Tai exclaimed as he slumped against the wall. "What were those imagine doing in our time?" asked ryuko as momotaros tended her injuries. "They appeared because your brother went back and altered time, when he went to the younger satsuki's time he made a warp in time large enough for those imagine to get through." Explained the owner. "So because I was tryin' to help, I ended up fucking everything up?" Tai asked. "That's a rather crud way to put it but yes." Answered urataros as he finished wrapping some gauss around satsuki's head. Tai looked around and saw that neither of his sisters were in any shape for a fight neither was sorochi who didn't even have a weapon. "Ryotaro, would you be up to helpin' me fix this?" Tai asked. "Sure thing." Ryotaro answered with a thumbs up. "Okay, it's time to go back to the past and fix this." Tai exclaimed as he made his way to the head of the train to put the time in. soon after he made his way back to the dining car where everyone was looking worried. "What's wrong?" asked Tai. Momotaros then looked up at him to answer his question. "The owner says that he was wrong about your dad, he does need to die." Momotaros answered. "What?!" Tai shouted as he looked to the owner. He then grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up to his eye level everyone got ready to pry him off but the owner waved them off. "I'm sorry, but it's true." The owner exclaimed. "But you said gaohu told ragyo about him and as a result she decided to kill him." Tai snarled. "As did I however ever since gaohu attempted to muck up the flow of time different time lines have been made, I was seeing a timeline where he didn't die and mistook it for ours." Explained the owner.
Tai then dropped him to the floor and started to think about this, just then he remembered the head of the train had a map of all points of time and their original outcomes. "I'll be right back." Tai snarled as he went to the head of the train. When he got there he looked up the day their father died and saw that he was supposed to live after all. "That fucking liar." Tai exclaimed in a low bestial tone. Soon he was back in the dining car and punched the owner across the face, this got momotaros and the others to grab hold of him and pull him back. "That's for lying to me old man." Tai growled. Everyone looked at him with confusion. "What do you mean?" asked ryuko. "That wrinkled old fuck lied about dad needing to die." Tai answered as he finally shook the others off him. Momotaros looked at the owner with distain in his eyes. "Were you gonna make him lose his father all over again just cause he screwed up?" asked momotaros anger clear in his eyes and voice. The owner didn't get to answer because they had reached their destination. "Never mind, let's go ryotaro and momotaros." Tai called as he made his way to the door.
Author's notes: okay I'll admit this chapter was a little rushed, namely cause I was working on it in study hall and was running outta time to really make it the usual quality of my other stories chapters.
