Note: I may not have gotten the time for when the war started right. If I did, please overlook that. Thanks. :)


Chapter 7: Coincidence or Fate

Back on Earth, Kit looked up at the sky, in the direction of the Glorft ship.

"Hey, Kit." Coop began walking up. "Guess we got there in time, huh?" Kit stood silently for a moment, then suddenly turned and punched Coop on the cheek.

"You IDIOT!" She cried in anger.

"What's that for?" Coop stared in shock, rubbing his sore cheek with Kiva and Jamie looking on in surprise.

"You should have left me aboard the Glorft ship! You ruined your one chance!"

"Huh?"

"Kiva told me that the war between Earth and the Glorft began about 1028 years before she sent MEGAS back to this time."

"So?"

"So: that means that the war should begin within the next three years."

"So?"

"Don't you get it? Why would the war begin in the first place? The only logical explanation is me! The Glorft came to Earth for me! And because you didn't let them have me, they will return for me later. Believe me, they will. Because you didn't let the Glorft kill me, the war will take place."

"Wait, you let the Glorft take you back, because you were trying to make it so the war would never happen?" Jamie asked.

"Yes."

"You don't understand, Kit." Kiva began. "If you died, then Earth wouldn't stand a chance."

"What do you mean?"

"In the future, I knew a Tygrin, a cyborg. Everyone called her Titanium Will, or Will for short. She was my partner, and childhood friend. The Glorft had killed her entire family, and her hate for their race grew into an obsession. Will was the one who went with me when I infiltrated the Glorft's planet to capture MEGAS. But we were discovered, and we barely escaped. It was Will who deserved credit for getting MEGAS back to our hidden base. She stood alone and held them off, giving me time to escape with MEGAS. If it wasn't for her, I never would have managed to get MEGAS back."

"What happened to Will?"

"We found her body an hour later. She recieved a hero's funeral."

"But what does Will have to do with Kit?"

"I've had my suspicions since we met, but now I'm sure. Kit is the ancestor of Will. If you die, Kit, then Will never will be born, and that means I wouldn't be able to capture MEGAS from the Glorft and send it to the past. You're the one who made it all possible." Kit's face mirrored her surprise over the major part she was to play in the future of Earth.

"I suppose that leaves just one question, then, doesn't it?" Kit voiced after a moment.

"And what would that be?" Kiva asked

"When I came to this planet to try and escape the Glorft; was it coincidence, or fate?"
