Back in Time
Chapter 1 The Jump
Lights were flashing everywhere. The warning siren that grew louder with urgency was blaring in the pilots ears as her ship shook violently again. She wiped the sweat from her face and looked back down at the control panel in front of her.
The radio crackled.
Horizon2, come in Horizon2. Can you hear me? Out
Cursing as another light flashed on, she picked up the receiver with one hand and used the other to brace herself. She yelled as loud as she could.
This is Horizon2. We have sustained critical damage. Power reserves to minimal. Out
The main lights flickered and died. The pilot was lunged into darkness for a moment, and then the warning lights flashed on at her again. Her co-pilot came up behind her.
"Kina. Your orders Commander."
"What power do we have left? Are the T-jump modules still in tact."
"Affirmative. They're just about the only thing that are."
From the front window the two pilots could see a fierce battle raging in the depths of space where they now floated, helpless. Explosions and bursts from Lasers and Energy Canons lit up the inside of their fighter craft, the Horizon2.
Their mission had been to destroy the satellite Cappin-692 which was suspected of being the base of mercenaries from New Esthar city. It was. And they had been expecting the attack from the United Peace Alliance, UPA.
The Horizon2, however, was not there to fight. It was the only vessel equipped with the T-jump ability, a new device using combination of magic and technology to allow time travel for short periods.
This point in space had just happened to be the exact point where they needed to jump 61 years into the past to make a crucial change in history that would ensure the battles that were taking place now as the second sorceress war began, never existed. This was a cover-up mission so that the two pilots of the Horizon2, Kina and Talon, could make the T-jump safely and carry out THEIR mission.
Unfortunately, they had been mistaken for another fighter, targeted and critically damaged by enemy fire. Now they were drifting.
Horizon2, what is the state of the T-jump modules? Out The voice over the radio asked. Kina looked at Talon, who nodded, and picked up the receiver again.
The T-jump modules are fully intact. Shall we make preparations to initiate the jump? Out
Go for it. When you get there you will need to have your ship repaired before you can jump back. Remember, there is just enough power in your Clips to perform one jump. You will need to refill it before you can return. Do you understand? Out
Affirmative, sir. We have the locations where we can find the materials needed. Out
Good. Were counting on you. Good luck, Kina. Out
Thank you, sir. Out
Kina replaced the receiver and looked over the control panel in front of her.
"This'll need a lot of repairs. Hope you're up to it Talon."
"Piece of cake!" Talon boasted and grinned at Kina. Then he sat down at his control panel and began the countdown. "20 seconds till we jump." He announced, "you should brace yourself."
Kina fastened the second security belt on her chair around her chest and waist and put her head back against her headrest. Next to her, Talon did the same.
"3, 2, 1...Here we go." Talon said.
The lights on Kina's control panel stopped flashing, the warning sirens stopped. Everything went dark. Silence. Kina looked at the battle out in space. Another ship exploded. I hope the loss of life is worth it, she thought sincerely.
A whirring noise started up in the back of the ship. Kina closed her eyes. She felt weightless. The Anti-Gravity Generator had cut out as the whirring noise grew louder. Suddenly she felt like she was falling, she opened her eyes and saw a pure black screen in front of her. The stars had gone.
A burst of light exploded in front of her and she squinted. The light burst into a thousand small pieces which settled on the blackness and re-created the stars. The whirring noise slowed and then stopped.
Kina un-strapped herself and leaned forwards to get a better look out of the front window. The stars were the same but the fighting ships had disappeared.
"We made it." Talon said from behind her. He came up next to her to get a better look out of the window. "What's that?" he said and pointed to a small line of light moving through space.
"A reflection from something." Kina observed.
"What shall we do, commander?" Talon said, sitting back at his post.
"What's the status on power?" Kina said, immediately taking action.
"Right," Talon tapped at his control panel, "Main power at 23%. Back-up power reserves active...amazing..."
"Talon." Kina said impatiently. She had a feeling that the drifting object was important to them and their mission.
"Shield has fully regenerated. Weapons are 73% active. Main power at 28% and increasing...T-jump modules still intact. Clip1 and 2 are empty. Aha!" He exclaimed, "Clip 3 has 42% power still intact and is transferring it to the rest of the ship."
"Can you stop it?" Kina asked.
"Yes, but..."
"Stop the Clip from transmitting the rest of it's power."
Talon typed at the controls.
"Done. Clip 3 has 34% power still intact."
"Good." Kina said. "I'm taking us in to intercept the drifting object." she tapped the controls in front of her and the Horizon2 move slowly towards the object drifting in space.
