A.N. Well I didn't get the number of reviews I wanted but I posted this anyway, but come on people! I want more reviews! Only you can help!

Chapter 8- The futures fate.

The young Cindy and Jimmy sat down, and stared at their older selves.

"So you're us from the future?" Cindy asked slowly.

"Yep." Replied Jimmy. "That sums us up, you from the future. And if you don't mind me and my wife here will just be on our way."

"Wife!" Exclaimed Jimmy and Cindy together.

"Well yeah, Cindy married me. What else did you expect?"

"Yeah." Said the older Sheen. "You two are meant to be together for all of time, feel depressed?"

"Of course not." Jimmy told him.

"Oh." Remarked Sheen miserably. "It was just me then, who felt depressed the day I committed myself to one woman." Libby turned to face him, and went red with anger.

"Excuse me? What do you mean depressed? You had better not mean that, or when we get home, you're doing all the housework "again". Sheen sighed.

"And I wonder why my marriage is boring." He turned and smiled at her, and Libby realised he was joking. They stood up and their friends followed suit. The four of then made to leave, but their younger versions stopped them.

"You're not going anywhere, why are you here? Why isn't Carl with you? What's going on?" The four sighed, but returned to their seats. The older Jimmy began to talk.

"This is our mission, the future is a barren desolate wasteland, the Earth is controlled by alien machines. Carl is dead."

"What? He can't be! We are going to save him tomorrow!"

"You know where he is?" Cindy asked them both.

"Yeah, he sent us this." The young Cindy said, and gave the postcard to her counterpart. The four examined in turn, and then Jimmy resumed talking.

"Well this is interesting, it seems like the future is being changed. Someone's playing a game with us."

"Tell us what happened to the future." Cindy said. The twenty five-year-old began…

"Life was going great, me and Cindy were married; we were both successful; our friends were happy. Nothing was going wrong, and then it happened. A spaceship landed, and out came these machines. They attacked, slaughtered an entire city worth of people. The government began to attack, and called upon the rest of the world for help. However, it never came. It was too late. The machines had landed everywhere; the Earth was doomed…

Retroville was on panic alert when it happened, we were one of the last towns standing. Not for long though. The army's leader, The General, arrived on the scene; that was the end of Retroville. The General was ruthless, quick, and deadly. The perfect leader. He killed my parents.

Jimmy looked up, and said slowly.

"My parents are dead?" The older Jimmy nodded, and then continued.

"Most of the city wiped out, but I put together a small force, the resistance is the only force against the armies of The General. Most of the world was dead, but the ones who survived followed my lead. Soon we had a world-wide resistance fighting The General, and it's been that way ever since.

"You sound like you know this General." Cindy said to the older Libby. She nodded.

"We do know him, we encountered him when he was human. His name was Wayne Mace; he was a genius."

"Then why did he become an evil monster then?" Jimmy asked, and Sheen began to talk.

"He was insane, he had built a nuclear reactor; when his machine went into overload it would vaporise the planet. So we stopped him." Sheen went quiet, and Jimmy picked up the story.

"Wayne tried to kill us, we had no choice but to kill him."

"Kill him?" Cindy said slowly. Her older self nodded.

"He had put the reactor into critical overload, but we could handle that. Jimmy had built a device that would absorb the energy; but it was too much for it. The energy needed a bigger body to keep it in; so we attached the device to Wayne. And his own reactor wiped him out, or at least that was what we thought." The younger Jimmy stared at the time travellers.

"But he survived…" He muttered. The four nodded. Sheen stared at the postcard.

"It's a trap." The older Jimmy nodded in agreement.

"That would make sense, eliminate the founders of the resistance. Nothing could stop them."

"Do you know whose running this hotel?" Libby asked.

"I'll look it up." Cindy said quickly, and she logged onto the Internet. After a few minutes, she cried out joyfully.

"I've found it! The scheme is run by Desmond Hunt."

"Hunt?" The resistance all said at once.

"Yeah why?" Jimmy asked, reading the information himself.

"Desmond Hunt is a servant of The General." Sheen explained. The others nodded.

"He betrayed the English resistance to the enemy, he is cold and calculating. If he is involved then this game just got took to a new level." Cindy told the youngsters. The young couple went to a corner of the lab, and discussed it for a few minutes.

"We're coming as well." Jimmy told the time travellers simply.

"No!" Shouted his older self. "If you are hurt, then evil has won! That's what this entire game is about, us. We will go, and you can stay." Young Cindy shook her head.

"This is our fight as much as yours, we go or you don't go." Sheen sighed, they were wasting time.

"Come on Jimmy, they can come. We have to go, Carl is in danger." Jimmy gave in.

"Come on then, whoever's playing this game is about to get a surprise. Cause now we're playing by our rules."

A.N. Well chapter 8 is over. AnI know they seem out of character but get used to it. This trilogy marks Jimmy and Cindy growing up, whilst saving all of time and space. Chapter 9 will be my longest chapter so far, and it will be full of action! Another point is that Sheen seems quite smart in this chapter, he will be a continuing voice of reason. If you review fast then Chapter 9 will be out fast! Maybe even today!Thanks to all my reviewers glad you like it! - badwolf1
