Title: The Time Machine
By: Crazy Kawaii
Genre: Sci-Fi/Romance
Summary: What do you get when 2 nerds decide to mix science and magic? A TIME MACHINE! Syaoran and Eroil accidently bring back a girl from 2,000 years in the future named S-6/K-8. What will happen? How will they bring her back?
Chapter 1: Their Invention
Two nerdy teenage boys were working in a basement of an abandoned house.
One boy was Hiragisawa Eriol. He was super geeky, like one of those guys at school who walk around with a gameboy and Yugi-Oh! cards and talk about Final Fantasy characters like they were his close friends.
He was the perfect example of a nerd, the spitting image of the common stereotype... but to the extreme. He could fix your computer in a heartbeat and maybe if he liked you enough, he could build you a state-of-the-art computer out of a regular television. Eriol had fine, dark hair and midnight blue eyes. He wore the circular glasses, ones that scream, "Harry Potter is my idol!". Eriol's looks were not bad, but his overall scent certainly was. If he was not so geeky and took personal hygine seriously, he might have a girlfriend.
Might.
The second boy was Li Syaoran. Syoaran was not as nerdy as Eriol, reason being his athletic side forbid him to do so. But he was still a geek. He read a lot of weird science fiction books and was into 'magic', deeply believing it was all real. He was a little strange but he was pretty cute, despite his strange interests.
Both boys were seniors in high school and both were pretty open-minded. They believed in alot of odd things. Like aliens. Psychics. Wizards. The whole nine yards. Their idea of a good Friday night consisted of a nice bowl of popcorn in front of a plasma television watching X-Files.
But anyway...
"Screw driver." Syaoran said to Eriol. They were working on something... something complicated.
"Screw driver!" Eriol handed Syaoran a screw driver.
Syaoran used the screw driver on the delicate contraption he was building. Eriol was standing besides him, breathlessy.
"Its almost finished... just... just a little-" Syaoran muttered.
Eriol stopped breathing.
"Duct tape." Syaoran commanded suddenly.
Eriol trembled, quickly shoving a fresh new roll of duct-tape he had purchased from the Home Depot earlier that day. His breath was still.
After several long, tense moments and Eriol turning blue...
"DONE!" Syaoran exclaimed.
Eriol gasped and deeply inhaled. Syaoran stood up and took a step back.
The boys stood and admired their lovely work.
It looked like a mess of wires and computer chips...but it was more that that.
Well, technically that's all that it was. Except it had dials and a keyboard duct taped to it.
But it had a greater purpose than that!
"Okay." Eriol breathed. "Now it's time to... to test this baby out!"
Syaoran nodded. "Okay." He walked over to the electronic mess and plugged it into the wall.
"Sweet sweet electical energy. What would I do without you?" Eriol whispered lovingly as he gazed at the power outlet.
Syaoran laughed and muttered something incoherently.
Eriol snapped, "I heard that!"
Sure you did, Eriol.
So how did the thing work? What did it do? Only the boys knew.
"Now..." Eriol said, and paused. Dramatically. "We chant."
Syaoran handed Eriol a bag of sage and a dead star fish.
Eriol turned to Syaoran. "I wish you all the luck on your journey."
Syaoran nodded in thanks.
Eriol put the dead star fish on his head and started hoping on one foot. He chanted,
"Foo-moe-gwei-gwie-fai-d-floghright... so-ung-nei-fie-d-flowright..."
Now that the fuck was he doing?
Eriol, with his eyes closed, threw pinches of sage at Syaoran.
If anyone actually knew what the boys were doing, they would have locked them up in a mental house. And beat them with a stick. While making them dance.
This is what they were planning:
Eriol was going to use his "super-mage" powers and send Syaoran into the future with the help of the 'time machine'.
The 'time machine' was humming. Eriol kept chanting.
"Foo-mo-gwei-gwie-fai-d-floghright... so-ung-nei-fie-d-flowright..."
Syaoran had a bit more common sense than Eriol. He knew building a time machine was not going to work, but Eriol seemed so goddamn determined. He helped since Eriol was a good friend. And he had nothing better to do in the summer.
Eriol kept chanting, and with each word he became more and more into it. Syaoran flinched every time Eriol threw sage at him.
Suddenly, the power went out.
"God dammit!"
The boys assumed it was from the rolling blackouts the town was facing. After all, it was another record-breaking hot summer, and most houses were sucking up all the energy for air conditioning.
Eriol stopped. "God dammit!" He repeated. "We were so close!" He crossed his arms.
Syaoran shrugged. "We can try this again later. Where'd you get the starfish?"
"Wal-Mart."
"I'm glad you didn't try to hunt one down at the beach. " The thought of Eriol unsuccessfully hunting a stationary starfish with a wooden spear popped into his mind. He smiled at the thought. "They sell starfish?"
"Yeah. But they're all dried up and dead. They sell 'em in packs of five." He added, "As a decoration."
"That's... gross." Syaoran remarked.
"I know."
The dead star fish slipped off of Eriol's head.
But when the starfish hit the ground, it silently shattered into pieces.
The pieces turned into dust. The dust glowed and disappeared into the air. How strange.
It all happened so quickly, the boys didn't notice.
The power went back on.
"Huh." Eriol frowned, "Now it works, right after we performed... like... half of the spell. Let's do it again!" He said, excited.
Syaoran laughed at Eriol's persistance on such a subject. "Okay."
"What's so funny?" Eriol asked.
"Oh nothing, nothing." Syaoran cooed.
Eriol was crazy. That was funny.
He cleared his throat. "Where'd the star fish go?" Syaoran continued.
Eriol reached up and patted his head.. "I don't know!" He looked on the floor, kicking away dust bunnies and discarded wires. "Oh well, I have four more in my room. Packs of five, remember? Let's go to my house and come back really quick!"
"Alright. Well, hey, I'm hungry. Do you think we can come back tomorrow and do it again?" Syaoran suggested.
Eriol nodded sadly, disappointed that he would have to wait. "Okay..."
The boys trudged up the basement stairs and eventually left the abandoned house and retreated to their own.
Hours after they left, something was happening to the time machine.
Electric shocks were flying everywhere.
Glowing green light mixed with the electricity, and an extraordinary thing happened.
Some kind of... portal... was created. And someone was thrown out of it.

"General Kinomoto!" Someone shouted.
The person who happened to be 'General Kinomoto' turned around.
"What is it?" Kinomoto said, annoyed. The General was a very busy woman.
The someone said, "There is a disturbance in the second entry level!"
Kinomoto sighed in frustration. She did not have to deal with insignificant things like that."Then have a captain take care of it!"
"That is not possible, General. It is most urgent buisness." The person whispered.
Kinomoto eyed the person, though one could not tell because of her mask.
"What kind of disturbance?" She asked.
The person puffed out with pride, feeling important. "Follow me, General!"
And the General did.
The General and the messanger person headed to entry level two.
The thing you have to understand is that everything is different from your time.
Everything changed.
There are 12 trillion humans in the solar system.
It's not longer a small world. It's a small galaxy.
The General reached entry level two. People were running around, paniking. Something was happening that had never happened before.
"Sakura!" Someone shouted.
General Kinomoto turned around. "Tomoyo! What is going on?"
Tomoyo was a person with a blue stripe across her uniform. That symbolized leadership. General Kinomoto Sakura had a double red slash. This symolized the highest ranking authority and leadership.
"Come with me." Tomoyo said, and took hold of Sakura's gloved hand.
"Is it the Martians?" Sakura guessed.
Tomoyo said in a rushed tone, "No! Well, I do not know what it is."
They stopped infront of a swirling orb of whispy green light.
"What the fuck is this." Sakura stated more than asked.
Tomoyo shrugged. "I have walked strait through it, I have not the slightest idea. It is not a toxic, it has no chemical make-up. It is all energy."
Blue shocks of electricty suddenly cracked through.
"Uh... Ahem." Sakura cleared her throat and thought of an order. "Put this floor on lock-down."
"But General, this floor is the only access floor to ground level! People will be trapped on the lower levels if this floor is shut down!"
Sakura scowled. "Why is it that you call me 'General' when you know you are saying something I do not like? It is too formal."
"Because!" Tomoyo said, crossing her arms over her chest. "It gets my point across."
Sakura put her arms up in defense. "I know that this is the only access level to the ground, but until I know what this thing is, I want this floor on lock-down. An order concerning safety."
Tomoyo nodded. "Okay General Kinomoto." She said with a deadpan voice, and walked off in order to follow through with Sakura's command.
Sakura scowled.
What was this thing?
She took a step closer. What did her computer say it was? She checked. After a moment-
No idea.
She took a step closer. It was all energy. Eletromagmetic energy. Light energy.
Something else...
She took a step closer. Not because she wanted to, but because the orb was pulling her toward it. She had stuck her foot out to keep her balance.
"Gravitational energy." She concluded.
What would happen if she... fell inside of it? Was it a black hole? Impossible. Black holes would be unstable with the earth's gravity acting upon it, especially underground. Tomoyo had said she walked through it, so it could not have any properties similar to a black hole.
So what was this thing?
The orb was pulling her at a greater rate. She started sliding across the floor.
"GENERAL!" The people screamed.
Sakara paniked. She dug her heels into the ground and tried to step back.
Her attempt to escape the orb was useless.
With a small shreik of both suprise and fear, Sakura was pulled off her feet and flew into strait into the orb.
"SAKURA!" Tomoyo shrieked though her mask, and bolted forward to grab her, but it was too late.
Kinomoto disappeared into the orb. It swallowed her up, then collapsed in on itself.
It was gone. She was gone.
The people and Tomoyo stared at the spot the orb was at.
General Kinomoto was gone. So that meant... Tomoyo was in charge.
"Sergeant Daidouji." Someone said.
Tomoyo turned around. She was baffled. Was this the new technology of weapons Mars claimed to have had?
"What are your orders?"
She blinked. She didn't know. Blow up Mars, see how they like that.
"Search... For... Kinomoto." She said, unsure of her own voice.
Everyone was thinking the same thing.
What just happened?
