This is my first Fic so please be honest and tell me any improvements needed.

"Tonight's the last night." Nina and Ryu stood outside of the tent in the middle of the desert. It could hardly be seen in the dark but Nina knew what came down from Ryu's eyes were tears.

"I know it is destiny. This machine is our only hope. I want to keep the memory of you guys but I never wanted to kill Teepo. I hope you understand." Ryu stood there thinking. Was it right to drop the memories of all his friends to get back the normal life he had with Rei and Teepo.

"What are you two still doing out here this late?" Momo came out of the tent chasing after a chrism she dropped. Ryu's foot blocked it. "No, nothing."

"I wish tomorrow will never come."

"Then we'll have to do it tonight. It may change the world but it is Ryu's wish. I think what he will do is good."

Surely, the day came.

"You actually believe that this machine will work, Ryu?" Garr felt that the Dr. Galt that sold them the machine didn't seem trust worthy.

"Let's hope. This was worth years of zenny," Ryu sighed, "You've seen Rei anywhere? It's almost time."

"No. He said something about enjoying his last moments here. Let's just leave him alone."

"Ryu, you know that if you go in there and it was successful, we may never meet each other." said Nina still trying to change Ryu's mind.

"Yes, I know Nina." Ryu DID feels a little regretful but it was too late or maybe not, "Let's not does this."

"Really?" Nina's eyes suddenly looked more life like, "You're really going to regret it?"

"No. Momo, bring out the machine, I'm smashing it personally." Ryu took out his sword, "Sorry Teepo."

"The machines gone!" Momo came out of the tent empty handed and they all grew worried. "Where's Rei?" Garr looked at Peco and the little onion shrugged.

"Oh no." Ryu quickly ran around searching for Rei.

They finally found Rei placing the last chrism into the machine and a huge vortex appeared in front of Rei.

"No Rei!" Rei looked back, "It's for Teepo! Ryu, how could you forget Teepo?"

He jumped into the swirling portal before they could say anything.

"Let's hope it doesn't work." Momo looked at all her friends hopefully.

"Please don't." Nina's heart was pounding faster than anyone else.

Then the tent and the time machine started fading away. "No!"

"This is it guys."

Soon, Peco faded away followed by Garr, and Momo. Nina and Ryu stood in the middle of the desert as they watched each other fade away as well.
