If you have not read my Generator Next story, you will be confused by these new characters. So you can go and read at least the first three chapters of that fanfic or I will give you a quick rundown of the new people.

Kenji: Six and Holiday's first born. His weapon of choice is the hanbo, which is a short staff. (Age 22 in this story)

Jasmine: The older of Six and Holiday's two twins. She inherited her mother's intellect but has a slightly estranged relationship with her father. (Age 18)

Jade: The younger of the two twins. She is short tempered, has an intense sibling rivalry with her brother, and takes after her father in swordsmanship. (Age 18)

Violeta: The oldest of Rex and Circe's children. She has the sensibilities of her mother but the confidence of her father. She is able to build machines like her father. (Age 15)

Rafael: The youngest of Rex and Circe's children. He was whiny and fearful as a child but grew up to be a mature, empathetic person. He has his mother's sonic scream. He and Violeta have a close brother-sister bond. (Age 13)

Angel: The youngest of the group. He is Caesar and Beverly's only son. He has the idiosyncrasies of both of his parents as well as their intellect and ability to invent. (Age 6)

This story takes place about 19 months after Season 7.

I do not own nada.

25 years from the present.

A figure wearing navy blue lurked in the shadows of a large metal fortress. Robotic sentinels rolled along the perimeter, patrolling the area as they moved past him. A light from a tower swept through the yard once, twice, and then moved to the back. The figure cooed. A silhouette moved across the yard where the light had just passed through. It disappeared into the shadows of the building. The figured cooed twice. The trees rustled for a second. Then something shot out from the tree and flew under the ledge of the tower with the light.

It was his turn. The robotic sentinel came back. A hanbo shot from his hands and lodge itself into the robot's neck. Sparks flew from the area. The robot tipped over onto its back. The light immediately swept over but a metal hand grew and crushed it. Sirens sounded. A large metal door lifted. Robots began pouring through the opening. The silhouette waited as the last robot left. As the door started closing, the shadow slid in through the crack.

Immediately, the figure removed the ski mask. It was Jade. She scanned her area. Spotting where she needed to go, she ran, accidently breaking a red beam in the process. Several guns popped from the walls and began shooting. Jade pulled a katana from her back blocking the bullets expertly before disarming them. Then using her sword she sliced through a door. It fell with a clang. Before her was a large computer with red lines forming a circle on the monitor.

"Hello, Zaggy." Jade said sardonically. "How's it feel to be invaded?"

"You have been a thorn in my side for too long." The AI said calmly. "You must not be allowed to exist." Several robots appeared through openings in the room.

"Go ahead and try." She hissed as she raised her katana.

Meanwhile outside Kenji and Violeta were making short work of the robots in the yard.

"That's fifteen for me." Violeta announced as her BFS sliced through another sentinel.

She didn't notice one come from behind her. It was blown away by a sonic scream. She turned around startled.

"I got one." Rafael said proudly.

"Good job hermano." She grinned at him.

"Guys, we're not done yet!" Kenji grunted as he smashed his hanbo into the belly of another robot. He pressed a button on the hanbo and on both sides blue energy rods grew. He twirled it and took out the last of the robots. "Okay. Now we're done."

"Show off." Violeta snorted.

"Guys, Jade needs help." Jasmine's voice came into their comlink.

"Have you secured the channels?" Kenji demanded.

"Of course! What do you take me for? I've hacked into Zag-RS's communication system. She can't hear anything we're saying." Jasmine said insulted.

"Fine, can you open the door for us?" Kenji asked.

"I can do that." Violeta said putting her hand on the control pad. Blue lines came from her hand. The door immediately shot up.

"Let's go!" Kenji moved past her.

"You're welcome!" She said sarcastically.

Kenji ran down the hall following the trail of destruction his sister had left. Violeta holding Rafael zoomed past him in her Boogie Pack. She gave him a smirk as she passed him. He returned a scowl. Violeta flew into the room first. She dropped her brother and formed her Smack Hands.

"Take that!" She yelled as she punched a robot. Rafael shot several with his sonic scream.

A staff flew into the room and embedded itself into the chest of a robot who was about to crush Jade. Kenji entered the room and retrieved his staff.

"I had him where I wanted him." Jade told him.

"Sure." Kenji replied. Turning his attention to Zag-RS, he threw his hanbo at the screen. It was deflected by a shield.

"You are not authorized to be here. Prepare to be terrrrmmminnnaaaaaated." The AI's voice slurred the last word.

"Okay, I've isolated the program." Jasmine's voice came into their intercoms. "Quick! Insert the virus!"

"I can't get past the force shield." Kenji said as he slammed his hanbo into the shield.

Violeta put her hand on a panel but got shocked. She slid several feet.

"Vi!" Rafael ran to check on her.

"I'm okay, hermano." Violeta assured him.

Rafael stood up and glared at the AI.

"Nobody messes with my sister." He opened his mouth. The force shield began wavering as Rafael tested different frequencies to disrupt it. Finally the shield wavered and cracked.

Kenji ran to the control panel and pressed a button revealing a tray. Inserting the microchip into the slot he closed it. The red lines began wavering.

"Systems rebooting…. Noooo!" Zag-RS screeched. "You have not heard the last of me!" Then the lines flickered and disappeared from the screen.

Kenji sighed in relief. "We did it."

The building began trembling.

"Uh-oh! Forgot the self-destruct!" Violeta formed her Rex Ride. Rafael hopped on and they fled the room. Kenji grabbed his sister's hand and dragged her down the hall. Jade pulled her hand from his grasp.

"I don't need your help." She snapped at him.

"Just go!" Kenji snapped back.

They barely got out in time as the whole structure fell in on itself. Without Zag-RS holding it together the fortress just became scrap metal.

"Come on. Let's go home." Kenji said wearily.

Kenji drove through the desert towards some mountains. He drove through the canyons until he seemingly reached a dead end. He turned around. Violeta was already asleep in the back.

"Hey, squirt. We're home." He said softly.

Violeta looked up sleepily. She yawned and stretched. Dragging herself out of the repurposed Providence tank, she walked up to the wall. After placing her hand on it, the side of the mountain slid open. Kenji drove the tank in. Lights automatically turned on.

"You made it back." Jasmine greeted them.

"Yeah, just barely." Kenji said.

"Zag-RS's sentinels are still roaming the streets. I thought you said that was the last compound she was hiding in." Jade complained as she walked out of the tank.

"You've destroyed her hold on the Northern Hemisphere. Now it's just matter of time before we push her back. But you have to see this. It seems she had a backup plan." Jasmine said in a serious tone.

They followed her into a different room. Holiday sat in front of the screen.

"Mom, what's up?" Kenji asked as he walked in.

Holiday turned in her wheel chair. Kenji almost winced. He still couldn't get used to seeing his mother this way.

"Kenji, Jade! I'm glad you made it back. We found something troubling in Zag-RS's files." She said motioning for them to come. "It seems that she has been busy creating a temporal distortion unit."

"English, mom." Jade said impatiently.

"That's a time machine." Caesar said tiredly as he walked in. Beverly came in holding little Angel's hand.

"Raffy!" Little 6 year old Angel ran to his 13 year old cousin. "Tell me what happened."

"Later, mijo." Raffy picked him up for a quick hug.

"It's amazing really. I had no idea Zag-RS had the capabilities of building something that sophisticated… If I had known she had such destructive tendencies…" Caesar rambled.

"It's not your fault." Beverly reassured him.

Yes, it is. Kenji thought bitterly.

"So what is she going to do with it?" Jade asked flopping onto the couch.

"We discovered that she's trying to go back about 20 years." Jasmine answered.

"Why 20 years?" Kenji queried.

"To eliminate the problem at the source." Holiday told him. "She's going back to kill Rex and possibly me and Six."

"Yes, you, their children, have been a hindrance to her plans. No Rex, Dr. Holiday or Six, then no you." Caesar explained.

"Then we have to stop them!" Violeta cried.

"It's easier said than done." Holiday rubbed her face. "We don't know where the time machine is located."

"Or even if it's working." Beverly reminded her.

"Yes, there's that." Holiday amended.

"But if there's even a possibility she can go back and get rid of us… we have to stop her!" Jade looked at everyone for support. "Otherwise there would never have been the Opposition."

"I know." Holiday said softly.

"Where's mom and dad?" Rafael asked.

"They are out looking for possible places Zag-RS could have hidden the machine. Something that huge would require a lot of power. There're only several places it could be." Holiday said tiredly.

"The nuclear sub she stole that started her conquest definitely doesn't have enough power." Jasmine noted.

A monitor blinked on. "How come no one answers when I call?" A wizen old man asked grumpily from the screen.

Holiday sighed. "White Knight, you must have been pressing the wrong button again."

"I know how to work my… my…" He seemed to have drifted off for a second. Then he glared at the people in front of him. "Where's Six?" He demanded.

Holiday bit back tears. Jade sucked in a breath. Jasmine cast her eyes on the floor. Kenji walked up to the screen and placed a comforting hand on his mother's shoulder. "Uncle White, dad was killed last week when Zag-RS invaded the dam. He held off the sentinels so we could get away."

White Knight looked confused. "No, no. That's not how it's supposed to happen." He looked at the group again. "What day is it?"

"Uncle White, do you want me to come sit with you?" Rafael asked.

"Yes, boy. Come to my room." The monitor went blank.

Rafael looked around apologetically. "He's just confused. He doesn't mean anything by it."

"We know, Raffy. Go calm him down." Beverly patted him on his shoulder.

Rafael immediately left.

A few minutes after he left, a message came in from Circe.

"Zag-RS… in Niagara… can't hold… quick." The message was broken.

"We need to get to Niagara now!" Jade said.

"Wait. We don't know what to expect." Holiday said fretfully.

"Well, we're about to find out." Kenji said grimly.

"Your team is too tired to be effective." Caesar said reasonably. "Let the beta team go."

"Sheila, Tony, and George can go." Beverly said firmly. "You guys go rest."

"They're not trained…" Kenji protested.

"Go." Holiday ordered.

Although there were some more weak protests they ultimately were too tired to put up too much of a fight. They went to bed.

"Hi, Uncle White. It's late. You should sleep. Do you want me to warm you up some milk?" Rafael was wearing a protective head-to-toe gear to keep White Knight's environment nanite free.

"I'll sleep when I die." The old man said cantankerously. Then he passed his hand over his face as if trying to remember something. He suddenly slammed his fist on his desk, cursing. "This useless brain of mine is failing me, Rafael." He said with a slight tremor in his voice. "I used to be able to calculate dozens of scenarios, work out perfect plans… now I can't even remember what day it is!"

"It's okay, Uncle White. I'll help you." Rafael told him the date.

White Knight cursed again. "Useless brain. I missed it." He closed his eyes. Rafael was worried that he had fallen asleep. He was about to shake him when his eyes flew open.

"Rafael, listen to me good, boy."

Rafael nodded.

"I was supposed to remember something. I knew all this was going to happen. I could have stopped it, but my mind. It goes in and out like a dream. I'm not long for this world. But I've lived a good life. I have no regrets." White rambled on. Rafael listened patiently. "Rafael, go to the night stand. Open the drawer. Yes… go on. Do you see a manila envelope?" White instructed him.

"Um, yeah." Rafael pulled out an ageing envelope. "Here."

"No, I don't want it. Open it up." He said urgently.

Rafael curiously slipped his gloved finger under the edge of the opening. He pulled out some neatly handwritten but yellowing pages. He scanned through the pages. He looked at White with surprise. "We go back in time?" He asked incredulously.

White nodded vigorously. "I'm the only one who remembers. You need to stop Zag-RS from killing your parents. It's my fault Six is gone. I was supposed to remember. But you can stop her from mucking up the future."

"Okay, Uncle White." Rafael tucked the papers back into the envelope.

"You're a good kid, Rafael." White relaxed. His eyes closed. This time his even breathing told Rafael that he had fallen asleep. Rafael squeezed his hand before leaving the room.

"Kenji!" Rafael walked into Kenji's room without knocking. "Quick, get up."

"Five more minutes." Kenji groaned.

"No, look what Uncle White showed me." Rafael shook Kenji's shoulder.

Kenji groaned again. He opened one eye. "Raffy, the man's lost it. Just get some sleep before we have to go…"

"No, he remembered that we went back in time to stop Zag-RS. Look. He typed up everything." Rafael waved the papers under his nose.

Kenji snatched them so that he would not get paper cuts on his face. He groggily read the first few lines. Then he sat up straight. He quickly flipped to the next page. "Rafael! This is like a step by step instruction of how to stop Zag-RS."

"That's what I've been trying to tell you!" Rafael said exasperated.

Kenji looked at the first page. "The time machine is in Niagara falls. We have to go. Get the others."

Ten minutes later the others were in the hangar.

"What's all this about?" Jasmine yawned.

"Read this." Kenji showed her the papers.

Jasmine skimmed it and looked incredulously at Kenji. "Is this for real?"

"Yes, and we need to go to Niagara Falls now." Rafael insisted. "We need to get to the time machine."

"Shouldn't we tell mom?" Jasmine asked.

"No, we don't want to worry her more than she already is." Kenji shook his head. "This is going to require speed and precision."

Jade snorted. "I say we go break the time machine, before she can even go back in time."

"Okay, I'm game." Violeta agreed.

"I wanna go too!" A small voice piped up.

Everyone turned to see little Angel standing with his arms crossed.

Kenji bent on his knee to look him in the eye. "Angel, you're too young."

"I wanna go! I can help!" Angel insisted.

"Angel, if anything happens to us, you have to keep the fight going, okay?" Rafael told him.

"But I wanna go!" He repeated, now with tears forming in his eyes.

"I know but we need you here." Kenji said getting up. He turned to his group. "Come on let's go." They walked into a jump jet. Angel stood glaring at them until they took off into the early morning sky.

Don't worry, the gang will show up soon. Please comment as I have no idea what I'm doing again.
