Welcome to chapter 10. Time to restore the timeline to its real, true glory. Let's go!
CHAPTER 10 – A Second Battle
We all braced for going through the portal, not knowing exactly where it would place us in San Francisco. Suddenly we fell through the portal and landed on some grass. As we expected, there were no humans. We quickly looked in all directions for Blowhole from either the future or the present. Thankfully, he was not anywhere nearby.
"So where are we?" Anna asked. Since whenever my phone stays with me no matter what happens, I asked it without pulling it out, "OK, Google Now, what is my current location?" Even though it was locked, it said, "You are currently at the Yerba Buena Gardens."
"I remember this place. But there's no time for remembering right now. OK Google Now, give me directions to Moscone," I said to the phone. It started giving us directions and we ran and belly slid to Moscone, while still looking out for Blowhole.
"So obviously there will be two Blowholes now. How do we stop them?" Sam asked. "Well, the current Blowhole will have to be Mind Jacked by your mother and myself, just as he was before. As to us, we'll probably have to keep our Blowhole distracted long enough for that to happen," I said. "Since he picked on us and Mom and Dad specifically, hopefully that won't be too hard," Anna said.
"Hold up," I said to the kids. We stopped moving. "What? What do you see?" Sam asked. "Look," I said, pointing up ahead. Up ahead, Marlene and I were walking out of Moscone with our weapons in our hands. "It's too bad we can't just watch this actually happen," Anna said. "Yeah. But we need to get out of here before we get spotted by anyone from this time," I said.
We quickly backed up and started heading up the fire escape of a building, heading to the roof. We heard a blast and myself shout "Duck!" as we climbed. This was a make it or break it moment.
The present Blowhole had found Marlene and I. As we kept climbing the 10 stories or so, we heard Marlene and I start to battle Blowhole. Finally, we had reached the roof of the building.
We followed the battle down the street, making sure not to be spotted by either present party. "So when did Blowhole change everything?" Anna asked. "Probably when your mother was about to go feral," I answered.
Suddenly we saw myself throw the Taser case off the phone and it catch on fire. Then a regular Chronotron appeared on the next roof, but only us three saw it. "Here he comes," I said.
While Marlene and I below were trying to hide in the restaurant, Blowhole emerged from the Chronotron portal, which closed. "Finally, I'll have my revenge on those two," Blowhole said to himself.
We immediately ran over to him and jumped on him, knocking him off the Segway, just before he pressed a button. "What the? You three won't stop me!" Blowhole said to us, trying to get us off.
Down below in quick glances, we could see Marlene going feral and then attacking Blowhole. "No! Get off me! I must fix this!" Blowhole shouted to us angrily. Suddenly, he stopped trying to get us off. Looking down, Marlene had just knocked Blowhole out. Suddenly, our Blowhole started to fade. "No! I had it all planned out. You three will pay," Blowhole said before fading.
Upon that, we fell onto the roof from the few feet we had been above it. We watched the scene unfolding below as I was trying to coax Marlene back down. "Wow. I don't ever want to see Mom like this," Anna said, fearing her mother. "Me either," Sam agreed, also fearing Marlene. "And that's why your parents had you in the park. You two can't do that. Only your mother can," I said.
After Marlene had regained control and she and I had tossed Blowhole through the Portal, another Chronotron portal appeared behind Sam, Anna, and I. Once again, it was yellow. "I really hope this is the way home," Anna said. "I hope so too," I said. We jumped through the Portal, hoping we had fixed the timeline.
"So do you think we did it?" I asked the kids while we were going back. "I think so. This Portal's taking a long time to take us to our next stop," Samuel said. "I sure hope so. That was not a fun mission," Anna said. "I agree. I never want to go there again," I said. "We almost died. Blowhole is nuts," Sam said. "I hope no one remembers that," I said.
Suddenly, another Portal appeared in front of us, but like the others, it wouldn't show us anything outside of it. We passed through it and hit the floor of the HQ hard. The last thing I saw was the cement floor of the HQ.
Alright, that's the end of this chapter. But actually, the next one is already up too. After some consideration, I decided that this chapter would be best displayed if split in two. I have no notes for this specific chapter. But please, review this chapter before going onto the next one.
