Sydney to the Multiverse Episode 14 - The World Where Cyber Olive is From


Written by: DrDoom2006 and Fun But Shy Girl


Sydney was laying in a bed asleep as Cyber Olive stood near her. As Sydney's body was very still, Cyber Olive was silently glaring at several monitors, where information about all possible vital data from Sydney appeared continuously.

-I should have gotten her out sooner… oh God, I've already lost my Sydney. If I lose Sydney Prime too... I'll never forgive myself…

The blonde girl was startled when what could be described as a robot flew to her and extended a screen for her to watch.

-Progress of recovery for the patient: Reynolds, Sydney at 80% complete - a metallic voice was heard

-I think I better go rest… - Cyber Olive said, taking off her headset off and placing it on the table

As Olive left, several other machines flew over Sydney, checking on her progress and helping her recover. Cyber Olive though didn't expect to be tired enough that she didn't hear her tablet beeping with several alerts indicating that Sydney's recovery process was complete. Eventually Sydney slowly opened her eyes.

-W.. what…

But as Sydney focused her sight she saw one of the machines scanning her, and with a scream she fell from the bed.

-W… what?

The machine hovered over her.

-Patient Sydney Reynolds, recovery percentage: 100%.

Slowly, Sydney got up and glared at her surroundings.

-Am… I… where now?

Once more, the machine hovered and stood in front of her.

-You're in the medical wing of the space station Hope 3975.

Sydney gasped at what she just heard.

-Sp… Space station?

Slowly, Sydney made her way to the door and walked out to an ample hall. The walls were white, and the air felt fresh and cool. After a few moments she began to hear sounds and through a window she saw a huge garden in what seemed to be a lower floor. It didn't take long for her to find a door that led to a set of stairs that took her down. There were trees and grass, she began to look around until she saw someone sitting on a bench not far from where she was... and it was someone familiar.

-Emmy? EMMY!

Sydney ran to Emmy and immediately hugged her.

-Thank God, a friendly face at last.

-Sydney! You're back!

-I.. uh… well… sorta

The Latina was about to say a word when Sydney stopped her as a smell hit her nose.

-Wait… that… that is…

-Sydney, wait…

The brunette followed the smell and soon enough she saw a cart where a young woman was preparing food.

-Oh thank God… can I have a burger and… whatever you have here that passes for a soda please - she said with a smile

-Sydney…

But she was so hungry that she took two bites of it before paying attention to the Latina

-This beef sandwich is incredible… want one? - she said, offering one to Emmy who had a look of disgust in her face

-Sydney… this is a space station, and you know there hasn't been a cow or beef in centuries…

-Huh?

-Ask her what are you eating…

Scared, she turned to the woman cooking.

-W… what is this?

-Rat.

-WHAT?

-Sydney, the only "meat" available are rodents and you know it. They are the only animals that survived the exodus of 3057 because they sneaked into the station and keep reproducing. - Emmy explained

Sydney felt like throwing up.

-I'm going to kill her…

-Excuse me?

-Where's Olive? I want to chat with her…

-Probably in her workstation. She works a lot and…

-Take me to my "best friend" please… I want to thank her for the meals she's being given me lately…

-Syd you don't seem happy…

Suddenly, Sydney opened her eyes wide and stood there motionless

-Wait… exodus of when?

-3057? - Emmy replied

-This is the future… ahm… Emmy… there's a library here, right?

-Yes of course, in the upper levels… why?

-Just asking… can you take me there?


Meanwhile, Olive woke up and slowly sat on her bed.

-Boy was I tired…

But her calm turned into shock and fear when she saw the barrage of messages on her tab.

-Oh no no no no no no

As fast as she could, she ran to the medical guard. As she feared: the bed was empty. Pulling one of the flying machines, so it was only a millimeter from her face, she spoke to it.

-WHERE IS SHE!?

-Patient Reynolds, Sydney, was discharged two hours ago. - the machine coldly replied

-Oh no no no… WHERE… IS… SHE… NOW!?

-Scanning… subject, Reynolds, Sydney, located on south wing elevator, floor chosen: ancient archives.

-WHAT? no no no no no, this is a mess this is a mess… GOT IT! Sophia? Don't let Sydney get to the ships' archives. I DON'T KNOW! Get her to lunch, just don't let her get to the archives! - Olive yelled while pressing on her headset


As the open elevator went up Sydney was able to see more of the station with Emmy and began to notice more details. For one, everyone wore white clothing, skirts, pants, baseball hats. All was white and everyone seemed to be busy.

-So… what is it that you do here? - Sydney asked Emmy

-Well, teenagers work in several positions. The ones who excelled, like Olive, get to work on the multiverse control and monitoring… Wait, you know all this, that's why work with Olive. Your grades were the top of our class.

-Oh… yeah… I… forgot…

To say that Sydney was amazed at all that she was seeing it was an overstatement. Everywhere she saw flying machines doing the most various chores; like moving stuff, collecting fruits from trees and other similar stuff. Her thoughts were cut short as the doors opened.

-And we're here. - Emmy announced

But as they walked out, Sophia got in front of them and immediately began to talk right to Sydney

-HEEEY! I heard they have fresh fruit bars in the cafeteria today, wanna check them out?

-Uh no… maybe la...

-Come on Syd, you love them!

-But we were goin...

-Later Emmy!

Before she could do anything else Sydney found herself back in the elevator being led by Sophia now with Emmy still close behind. Moments later: the doors opened, and she found herself amid a lot of teenagers that were coming and going to what seemed to be the cafeteria. Yet contrary to what she expected: what they had on the trays were what seemed to be granola bars. Sophia pulled her to a line where they got a tray and had to choose which bars to eat. The brunette seemed highly thrilled.

-Look! We got coconut, chocolate, berries and...

-Wait… where's the food? - Sydney asked

At that moment she realized everyone was looking at her.

-What?

Sophia also glared at her.

-THIS is the food… we eat protein bars all the time… they have vitamins, minerals, protein… all we need…

-All the time?

-Yeah. All we have on the ship are cereals and fruits that grow in the gardens… Sophia is in charge of all that process. - Emmy chimed in

Sydney tried one and she wasn't pleased.

-I'm starting to miss the rat burgers…

At that moment a Latina looking teenager ran to their table

-SYDNEY! Finally, I have been looking for you. Are you finally going to be able to send me and Maya back home?

-Huh?

-I'm Violet, remember? As in Ultraviolet? I was saving my best friend and I moved so fast that I broke the reality barrier and your friend Olive got us here and you said you already got a way to send us back.

-I, uh…

But a blonde hurricane (known as Cyber Olive) came in at that precise moment

-Sydney, thank Goodness… look I need to get you back to the medical ward and...

-NO! The only place you need to get me back is home!

-Sydney, I told you, I can't. The jade stone doesn't work that way…

-Look, I have been through hell seeing countless versions of you all getting hurt and last time I literally almost died. What else do you want?

-I want to help you, but wandering around the space station is not a good idea - the blonde replied

-And why is that? Do you have any secrets you're afraid I might discover? Secrets about your world, or your Sydney? Secrets about my journey and when you really plan to get me back home?

-Huh? No, but there are things that you should not know...

-Wait… that's why you sent Sophia to get me here to eat these horrible bars?

-Well... sort of. I mean... it's too dangerous to know about the future… even if it's the future of another world...

-Are you being serious? Or is this just a ploy to withhold important info from me?

Then Cyber Oliver took the jade stone out of her pocket and handed it to Sydney as she continued to speak

-I can't tell you that. Look. Here's the jade stone. You left it in the medical lab. Now put your jade stone back on and continue your journey.

-Where will I go this time?

-I don't know. But I promise you, there will come a moment where you will get home.

Without saying a word Sydney put her necklace back in place and two seconds later she had vanished.

Behind Violet a girl with curly hazelnut hair and glasses ran to her.

-So? Are we getting home soon?

Cleaning the tears from her face the Latina turned and faced her friend.

-Yeah… she… uh… she'll get us home soon…


Some time later: Cyber Olive was sitting in her computer room with a sad look on her face. Soon: Emmy walked into the room and approached Cyber Olive.

-Olive... you told Sydney Prime there will come a moment when she can get home. But... when will that be?

-When... when she finds our Sydney. I know she's out there somewhere. And once our Sydney gets her jade stone back: she can come back home, and then we can send Sydney Prime back to her home. But until then... Sydney Prime will keep having to fix the problems on every new world she goes to.

-But Olive... Sydney Prime has been to many worlds now. There's been a lot of interference in the multiverse lately. More than there used to be. Do... do you think this is the work of that Dark Harry guy that our Sydney met a few months back?

-Maybe Emmy. From what we can guess: he's the one causing all of the disruptions on these worlds Sydney has traveled to.

-But... why is Dark Harry traveling to so many worlds? It can't just be to cause chaos.

Then suddenly a monitor came on, and a fuzzy image of Sydney's face appeared and immediately spoke.

-Olive! Is that you?

A startled Cyber Olive looked at the screen carefully as tears appeared in her eyes.

-Sydney! Wait. You're... you're the Sydney I know from my world right?

Sydney gave a warm smile as she nodded.

-Yeah. It's good to see you Olive.

-Oh my God. Sydney... I never thought I'd see you again. What happened to you? Sydney Prime somehow got your jade stone and we don't know how. Where are you?

-Listen Olive. I don't have long. I didn't understand it when it happened, but... I acquired something a few months ago. Something more powerful than the jade stone, and even Dark Harry's onyx stone.

-Wait. What's more powerful than both of your stones?

-I... I can't say over this channel. Look. When I traveled through the multiverse with both the jade stone and my new... thing I acquired, it caused an imbalance. My new thing had the power to know that by traveling through the multiverse with both it and the jade stone: would cause Dark Harry to easily find us. So my new thing sent me to another world to hide, while Sydney Prime was given the jade stone. Look. I really just called you to say... keep Sydney Prime and the jade stone away from me. If the jade stone is on the same world as me, it'll make any multiverse traveler instantly able to locate me. And if Dark Harry finds me, it could be disastrous.

Cyber Olive began to look very distressed as she brought her face closer to the screen.

-Wait Sydney. I don't understand. Why would it be disastrous if Dark Harry found you?

-I can't say. If Dark Harry knew what I acquired... he wouldn't rest until he made it his, and then he would have unlimited power to do great evil... which would include ending me. Please Olive. You can't ever find me. Goodbye...

Then the screen instantly went fuzzy and Sydney's face disappeared. Cyber Olive held her hand out as she started to cry. Emmy then moved her hand to Olive's back and rubbed it for a second. Then Cyber Olive eventually stopped crying as she stood up straight. A curious Emmy then spoke.

-So what are you going to do?

-Emmy... our Sydney is in trouble. She's our friend... and friends go to help each other when they're in trouble. Try to trace that message. Either we figure out what universe she's in... or we wait for Sydney Prime to find her. It's bound to happen eventually...


In an old warehouse on another world, Sydney sat in front of a small laptop as she looked at Cyber Olive and Emmy's faces while speaking to them.

-If Dark Harry knew what I acquired... he wouldn't rest until he made it his, and then he would have unlimited power to do great evil... which would include ending me. Please Olive. You can't ever find me. Goodbye...

Then Sydney ended the video chat and closed up her laptop. Sydney then grunted as she slowly got up and began to rub her large stomach. The very pregnant Sydney then looked at her stomach as she spoke softly.

-I'm sorry I'm trying to prevent you from ever meeting your father little one... but if he ever found a child born from two multiversal travelers... he'd use your untapped power to hurt me, and anyone in his path...
