Laore ran forward, to an exterior console, beginning to type on it quickly, the blue orb of the temporal warp inching closer. His fingers moved faster, and finally, hit enter, and the orb began to implode. The console exploded at Laore's hands, sending a wave of blue through him, tossing him to the floor. Laore, however, stood up soon, seeing the hollowed portal.

"W…w…what happened?.. I thought we were dead." Brael spoke, looking at Laore, and the hollow shell of the portal.

"Well, I removed one of the basic systems of the generators, so it could not continue growing. Interesting…" Laore speaks, walking into the center of the smooth sphere. "Interesting. Every small, stand-alone piece of machinery in here is gone, but the whole remains. This would mean we do not need to fear having just half of ourselves in a temporal distortion. It is an all or nothing function."

"Well, congratulations. But we nearly just destroyed everything we've been working on. So figure out what the hell went wrong, immediately." Brael spoke, storming out of the room.

"I guess this is what Gaspar meant. Do not attempt to control time. Let it control you. Time will pass as it should." Laore muttered.


Time passed, as it always does. The next day came around all too quickly.


"Sir!"

"Yes, Brael. Report."

"The reptites are on the southern border, sir!"

The deep blue suited man let out a sigh, looking out from a large building to the land, destroyed cities covering the landscape. "Send out the army. We can't let them conquer more then they have. We have given, and given, and we get nothing. It is time to stand."

"Yes, sir!" Brael shouted, saluted, and left the spire of the command headquarters of the Unified Guardia Force.

"How did it come to this? This war has gone on far too long. Even back to living in huts. Why can't these problems just pass among people?Why do we fight? Why do I even ask a question I know… It is easier to hate, and wage war on people, but it is harder to understand."

"Arbiter…" spoke Laore, approaching the man in deep blue.

"Yes, soldier?"

"Soldier? What do you mean, sir?"

"You are a soldier of the UGF. What news do you bring?"

"The UGF? Soldier? Soldier for what? The earth has been at peace since the war with Magus in 600 A.D." Laore spoke.

"What are you talking about? The war! The reptites! The war that has been going on for our entire existence!"

"What the… Sir, yesterday, there was no war."

"What war?" spoke a deep blue suited man.

"The war with the reptites?" Laore questioned

"Reptites? What in gods name is a reptite?" the man inquired

"The thing you just said we were at war with!"

"I said no such thing. Do not put words in my mouth."

"Brael. Where is he?" Laore asked.

"Who is Brael?" the blue suited man questioned, looking at Laore like he is crazy.

"N… no one…" Laore spoke, turning and leaving before he could say anything more. "What is going on?"…
