The Weeping Angel Fighter
Chapter 11- Point Zero
Five months to go till Point Zero...
"Sebastian what is Point Zero?" asked Blaine completely out of the blue.
"It's the name of the moment when we're in the graveyard back in Lima 5 years after the Weeping Angels took over." replied Sebastian. He thought Blaine already knew that.
"I know that." reassured Blaine before adding "But what if there's more to it than that."
"Explain Mr Anderson." replied Sebastian teasingly.
"Well it seems a rather grand name to give that single moment. What if it's like a moment of destiny or a legend or something?" said Blaine getting excited, and a bit carried away, with his thoughts.
"You want to do more research on this don't you?" said Sebastian resigned to Blaines enthusiasm once he got a new project.
"I would like to." he confessed "I was thinking we could use the network. Someone might know something or maybe there's a book that contains it."
The network was the name the survivors had given themselves and their communication system. After years of the Angels ruling the few free roaming people had started to try and avoid ever being caught by the Angels. So they started the network it connected the survivors and enabled them to contact each other so they could give advanced warnings on Angel activity. The network was starting to get set up over two and half years ago around when Sam had been killed. It took another year before it was actually useful. But now it had evolved into a useful being it had helped Sebastian and Blaine multiple times. People knew about them and knew they might be able to put a stop to the Weeping Angels somehow. Able to provide warnings and inform people on non immediately essential matters, such as what Blaine was wondering, thanks to its two channel system. It was the most sophisticated human thing that still existed.
Four months to go till Point Zero...
"Remember a month back when I said I was going to use the network to find out more about Point Zero?" Blaine asked Sebastian whilst they were walking closer to Ohio.
"Yeah." replied Sebastian wondering why Blaine had just brought it up.
"They're now handling my case and they should have the results in less than a month." said Blaine with his enthusiasm. Despite the fact the world was falling apart around them and the time-line was disintegrating Blaine Anderson still managed to be unfeasibly optimistic.
Three months to go till Point Zero...
"I was right." exclaimed Blaine. As he looked up from the message.
"What about?" asked Sebastian.
"Point Zero." stated Blaine simply.
"What about Point Zero?" asked Sebastian being more specific.
"The fact that name has a meaning and legends surrounding it. Point Zero is the name of the moment the time-line is restored. When an apocalypse occurs that was built on a paradox. If it only happened because someone disrupted the time stream." said Blaine reading of his message. He paused before continuing "Point Zero is the moment time returns to its proper course with assistance. Once Point Zero occurs time will snap back to the moment before it went disastrously wrong and everyone will lose their memory of the events."
"Isn't that basically what the Doctor told us?" said Sebastian. As they had gotten closer and closer to Ohio and Point Zero Sebastian had become more and more pessimistic and disassociated with everything.
"No there's more information than just that. Apparently we might see visions of what could have been and we might even be tempted to not correct the time-line. But once Point Zero has occurred if the paradox has been planned for a long time then peoples lives can be significantly altered to how they were before the aborted time-line. So you know what that means?" finished reading Blaine.
"What?" questioned Sebastian
"It might mean your parents come back." explained Blaine. Sebastian didn't reply.
The day of Point Zero...
"We're here." said Blaine taking in the sight of the church and graveyard that were at the centre of the whole situation.
"Back where it all started." said Sebastian lost in his memories of all that had happened since then.
"That's seems like a really long time ago now doesn't it?" stated Blaine. A chill wind ran through the graveyard making it feel eerier than normal.
"Hmm" agreed Sebastian noncommittally.
That was it Blaine had finally had enough of Sebastian's pessimistic outlook. "Sebastian can I ask you a question?"
"Well you just did ask me a question so go on you ask another." replied Sebastian, despite being hunted by Weeping Angels he still hadn't lost his sarcasm.
"What is wrong?" asked Blaine. Sebastian was about to raise protest but Blaine cut him off before he could say anything until he'd said his bit. "Now hear me out before you start to claim how OK you are. As we've been getting closer and closer to Point Zero and correcting the time-line you've become more and more distant and well kind of rude."
"It's because I'm scared. I'm scared of the responsibility I have. I'm scared that it will all go wrong and history will never be corrected." confessed Sebastian honestly.
"You shouldn't be scared." comforted Blaine.
"Why not? I mean this is like really really big." said Sebastian in perhaps not the most eloquent English as he was struggling to word his feelings.
"Because the Doctor believed in us. And I believe in us." confided Blaine.
"Thank you. But Blaine it's not just that I'm scared that when time is correct we'll never get together." admitted Sebastian at last.
"I'm fairly sure that we'll find each other. Some of my research on Point Zero found that we'll retain a vague race memory kind of thing about this time-line. Given we save the world together I wouldn't be surprised if we're still meant to be together." Blaine hadn't told Sebastian everything he knew and had found out about Point Zero as he had assumed Sebastian wasn't interested given his lack of response previously.
"But what if we don't like each other? What if we don't have anything in common any more?" Sebastian was worried he didn't want to lose Blaine.
"Well that's not true we're perfect for each other. We have loads in common. Besides I dated Kurt and aside from a sexuality and a love of singing, we had nothing in common." joked Blaine. He knew what Sebastian's opinion of Kurt was and to be honest he shared it. Except perhaps not to the same rock salt slushie level. Sebastian laughed at that. "Now that's my Sebastian. So what do we need to do now to save the day Captain America?"
"Captain America really?" asked Sebastian bewildered before realising he needed to focus. "Anyway we need to find an Angel and then point the Q.L.A at it and pull the trigger. Time will get rewritten and we just need to hope for the best."
"That should be easy to find an Angel." stated Blaine.
"Why?" asked Sebastian. He couldn't see any.
"Because there's one over there. Which I've just noticed and am keeping an eye on." said Blaine.
Sebastian turned round and saw the Angel. He took Blaine's hand in his and together they walked towards. Sebastian gave Blaine a kiss before getting into position with the Q.L.A. They were ready. They were ready Point Zero. They were ready to change time.
They together pulled the trigger on the Q.L.A.
So what's happened? Has the Q.L.A worked? Or will it fail. Come back for Chapter 12, the final chapter, to find out the answer once and for all...
