I was told that you can't control the future and then I was told that whatever happens in the present would have different effects. I'm not going to lie, but it's actually the truth; however, it really shouldn't.
There's a phrase that you shouldn't be dwelling in the past for the rest of your life and that may be true and all, but when it involves with friendships and trust being ruined then there's a problem.
It all started when an old friend of mine left and would return back into my life eight years later, but at a cost. Nowadays, I don't even bother into remembering that event.
Things could've gotten anymore worse was a day that I'll never be able to recover. That day was the moment when there was a nationwide cola ban. My feelings of shock were way too high, so high that I couldn't control myself. It ended when I had nothing left in this world. Plus, my roommates, mostly my lifelong friends, were so concerned about me that I've turned down their offers of help. After awhile, I noticed that they weren't there. They must've left, knowing about my broken mental state. Who knows where they've gone to, but at least they're thinking of a way to help me.
That was five years ago, by the way. It's now the year of 2035. I've came a long way into figuring out on how to get cola back along with my friends. The streets are filled with crime and danger. Everyday people are struggling to stay alive all thanks to the Red Army who are lead by the one and only, Red Leader. Nobody knows what his real identity is since he's wearing a helmet that covers his entire face only leaving two glowing eyes that are blue. Someday, I will figure out his identity and I do, I am so going to make him pay with blood.
With the Red Leader's soldiers running amok in the city of London, I never thought of doing things that would be considered bad, but here I am breaking rules. I've broke into several of the Red Army bases along with stealing some parts in order to build a watch that can travel back in time. I even used some of those parts to construct a laser pistol.
The last time I've actually tested it out it was capable of fully disintegrating a single beam of steel. This was enough for me to kill some people. I actually went into the Red Leader's base without being noticed. Unfortunately, someone noticed my long jacket trailing in the wind and got a group of people to stop me. Oh, was that a mistake. It ended up with overcoming them with my strength, a strength of never ending thirst of anger.
After getting out of there, I used a network grind to complete the watch, traveling back to the past for only one thing: kill my past self. I know that it may sound crazy, but hear me out. I want my future to be bright, so killing my past self would a be an idle way to keep him from the dark times of no cola.
Upon reaching to the past, I was determined to find my past self and successfully I did. That's because I knew exactly where he was which made my job easier. I didn't give him an exact reason on what I wanted to do with him which lead into me chasing him down a couple of blocks along with past Tom and Matt being by his side. I only wanted me, myself, and I, not them.
My past self that it was a good idea to take the time where I stood in front of a non-futuristic door as an opportunity to escape by using bumper cars. Smart move, but it didn't fool me since he was going to that diner where we always go to. I wasn't expecting Hellucard to be there, but him saying "Ey Head" really pushed me to the edge. Perhaps a bit too much. But ah well, I had to make an entrance along addressing to past self on how i knew where he was hiding at before showing off my, well our, lucky can which made him realize that we're the same person.
Anyway...I continued my pursuit and I almost got the chance to change my future if both Tom and Matt weren't there to stop me. So after a long inducing battle, I was eventually handcuffed by Tom when my so called "friends" pinned me down. Admittedly I took my own defeat.
When we returned back to the future, both Tom and Matt talked about taking me to the Red Leader which got me surprised. Matt and Tom, working for the Red Leader? I can't believe this. I honestly cannot. How could they? I gave them my trust and this is how they repay me.
Afterwards, the two came up with an agreement and that agreement was locking me up at the Red Army base till Red Leader requests to see me. Today marks the 9th anniversary of me being behind bars, chained to a wall. The reasoning for this is because during the process of me being forced into this cell, I gave the people who are in charge of prisoners a really hard time. It took like about probably over 10 soldiers and on top of that, I broke someone's arm.
The more time I spend in this cell, the more I believe that I was in so much denial. I really let myself go, all because of cola being banned. However every now and then, I wake up to see a can of cola. I don't know who it is that gives me them, but it gives me a nice reminder that I shouldn't let an issue turn into a big deal. Now for the Red Leader...ooooh, when I get the chance to meet him, I'll give him a slow yet painful death as I uncover that mask to see who he is. That's a promise that I ain't getting rid of.
