Chapter 2: From the Future, Rei's POV.
The second chap in the ever-continuing epic.
I was groggy and disorientated the next morning after the party Friday night, so I didn't recognize the phone when it rang. Coming to my senses, I answered it after the tenth ring. It was Matt. And he sounded worried. "I just got a call from Duo. He says he wants to meet up with us. Sounds serious," "What about?" I asked, pulling on some clothes. "I dunno. Said something about his sister," Rei's jumbling thoughts jumped back to last night.
"I have a debt to settle with you!" I had heard Kai say to Heero. Next had came the pistol shot. "How the hell did you do that!!??" Kai had screamed. "I'm watching you, Kai. Try any sort of stunt like that again and you'll be in big trouble!" That had sounded like Alex, Duo's sister. "Thanks for what you did for Jenny this afternoon," she had continued. What had Heero done for Jenny? And what had happened there?
"Rei, I'm gonna pick you up," there was a click a Matt was gone. And I had the feeling that whatever involved Jenny and what happened last night, had something to do with this. I was afraid.
Matt has this really nice convertible with blue leather upholstery to match the blue paint. He was wearing these army pants and a khaki tee shirt. The top was down on his car and the radio was tuned to a rock station. He slipped on a pair of shades as I jumped in, black haired spiked and the ponytail wrapped. I wore my blue pants and white shirt, forearms wrapped. As we drove towards Duo's place, Matt ate his usual breakfast- large chocolate shake and an egg and bacon sandwich, from MacDonalds. He had explained that it gave him all his necessary vitamins and minerals for the day. His blonde hair whipped his face as he lightly held the wheel with one hand. He came to a gliding stop and jumped out in front of Duo's place. Heero was already there, wearing shorts and an unbuttoned white shirt over a light blue tank top. The sleeves were rolled up and he also had a shake in his hand. Duo was chatting to him, leaning against his own car, a sporty red model. "Hey, guys!" Duo raised a hand to greet us, I smiled and Matt did this cool thing with his hand. "Where's your sister?" Matt asked. Duo rolled his eyes, exasperated. "She's upstairs. With Jenny. And they're both getting dressed," he raised one eyebrow suggestively. Matt smirked at me, before greeting Trowa, who had rode down on his mountain bike. He wore leather pants and jacket over a white tee shirt. I thought it was too hot for those sorts of clothes.
"Did you manage to get the job?" I asked him. He had gone for a job at the Taco Bell. He had really wanted this one, too. Trowa nodded. He doesn't speak much, but he's cool enough. We started joking and messing around before Heero turned his cold gaze to the driveway. We all followed it. Kai was standing there, dressed in baggy pants and a tight black shirt. He had his usual scarf and arm guards on, but he didn't have his usual sneer with him. He instead stood uncertainly.
"I want to clear things up," Kai said. I then realised he wasn't talking to us, but someone behind us. "I know," Alex said, jumping forward. She wore a variation of her usual outfit; black pants and tee shirt with an unbuttoned red silk shirt and leather jacket. The jacket was gone, though, and the shirt buttoned to the midriff. "And I'm going to explain,"
"This better be good," Kai mumbled, crossing his arms. "I come from the future. I am Duo's sister, but I'm actually younger than the one in my time. In the future, a science lab was destroyed, blown up by a crazy experiment. I was in it at the time. It gave me the power to force energies at my will, and also gave me super human strength,"
"Sounds like fantasy, but it does explain a lot," Kai nodded. "Continue,"
"This explosion also had other effects. In took root deep in the ground, and around the lab's area, these demonoid plants began to grow. Once they reached maturity, they started to attack the human race. These beings bred like rabbits, they were everywhere and destroyed everything and everyone they wanted to,"
I stood still. I could hardly process the information I was hearing. It was like a sci-fi story. "I'm not convinced. There are things you haven't answered yet, like how you came back to the past, and why you're here," Heero said. "That's easy. I said I could bend energies. That includes time. And I came back to stop the same thing happening," Alex finished. "How could we possibly help?" Trowa asked. "Trust me, there are things that you can do," she replied. We glanced at each other, then Kai walked up to us, and in a huddled group we began to converse without Alex overhearing.
"It's incredibly stupid, but it makes some sense," Matt said. "It's a matter of trust. Why would Alex try to hurt us is the first place? She saved my life," Heero put in. "I don't know. There's something up," Duo whispered. "I agree with Duo," I said. "What is there that's so important to save?" "Hmm, hard question," Trowa said with unusual sarcasm, looking at Jenny. "Me? Why me?" Jenny asked, startled. "Kai, what do you think?" Heero asked. "It's a hard decision, but maybe we should trust her. What harm could it do?" Kai turned to Alex and extended a hand. "We've decided to help. What do we have to do?"
"Are you sure about this?" I asked Matt. We were standing in a group just off the lake. "Can't be any worse than junior high," he replied. Heero laughed. It was late at night. A few of us had torches, Kai had his pistol, and the rest of us had supplies. We were about to go into another timeline. Alex looked worried. "It's time," she said suddenly and stood up. The rest of us followed. A spark appeared out in the middle of the lake. Fire followed in ripples, and a black hole opened up at the end of the pier. I glanced at Alex again. She was breathing hard, but she began to run. We all did. And we all jumped. Into the black hole.
