So this is the prologue to my Sliders story. You should recognize the
first of it, considering it's the last 2 minutes of the series. I'm almost
finished writing the entire story, so I'll post as I get it all typed. Let
me know what you think so far..
Oh yeah, I don't own Sliders, blah blah blah.
The red wormhole twisted and pulsed as it floated in mid-air. "Remmy!" screamed Maggie, but it was too late. He turned to look at them, perhaps for the last time before jumping through the event horizon. "No!" she screamed again. The four remaining people in the room; Maggie Beckett, Diana Davis, Mrs. Amanda Mallory, and "Mallory" stood in silence as the vortex finally closed. "The Seer said death would be immediate," said Mallory. "For the four of us yes," replied Diana, "but by sending only one of us through we may have altered that timeline. Look, we may have just changed the future. He may still be alive." Maggie wiped the tears from her eyes and knelt down next to the Seer. "Mr. LeBeau," she said, "can you see our friend, can you see Rembrant?" There was no response. "Mr. LeBeau!" "I can't get a pulse," said Diana. She looked up at Mrs. Mallory, who was standing over them. "He's gone," she said, shaking her head. Mallory, Diana, and Maggie walked over to where the wormhole had just disappeared. "Rembrant," Maggie said softly. "What do we do now?" asked Mallory, as if his companions had the answer. They stood there in silence for a few moments as the reality set in. Diana walked over to inspect the Kromagg sliding machine before sighing and shaking her head. "Guys, it's had it," she said, "and I have no idea how to fix it." "So, what do we do now?" Mallory repeated. "We have faith in your friend," replied Mrs. Mallory. "I'm sure he'll find a way to come back for us." "But what if the Seer was right?" he asked. "What if he didn't survive the trip? I know I don't know too much about sliding, but that wormhole didn't look too stable." "If he didn't make it," Maggie began, "then it looks like we're stuck here." All of a sudden, a half-dozen security guards ran into the room. "Just what the Hell is going on here?" one of them demanded. "Wait a minute, I know you! You're the Sliders!" he said with an enormous grin. "I'll tell you what's going on," said Maggie, regaining some of her personal strength, "the Seer's dead, our friend may be gone forever, if he's even still alive, and we may be here for the rest of our lives. Does that about sum it up, soldier boy?" "Okay, okay," he said. "If you'll come with us, maybe we can sort this all out." The others looked at each other, nodding in agreement, then started for the door. Mallory was the last one to leave the room. Just before he walked out, he paused and turned to look at the spot where Rembrant had entered the wormhole minutes before. "Good luck, Remmy," he said as he finally left.
