Although Becker was getting used to the idea of Bertie and Danny together, he wasn't ready for this. After a moment he walked away towards the door to watch the approaching meteor.
"Ah Danny, when you've finished, we have a problem!" Becker commented dryly.
Danny helped Bertie to the door and the three of them watched as the comet appeared in the sky.
They left Ethan's body in the cabin and went over to join Connor as he re-calculated the meteor's decent. He hoped that the anomaly would be big enough and that it would enter it at the correct angle. If it didn't, and missed, it meant the end of the world.
December 2032...
Luke waited for his father to open his anomaly. He waited with baited breath for it to open and chewed his lip in anticipation. He glanced behind him to Matt, and Emily and then to the side to his mother and Jess. They all held EMDs and were looking out for any predators that could appear. This moment was the one where everything changed. It would either work and both the future and the past were saved, or it could go wrong and they could potentially lose either the past, or they could lose the future.
He sighed as he saw the anomaly open. He set the device in his hand to open the other anomaly. He aimed higher than Connor's own anomaly... and prayed that this would work.
2012...
Connor gulped as he opened his anomaly. He aimed his device high in the sky and opened the anomaly. He didn't want the meteor coming close to the earth at all. Connor wished he could speak to Luke, but couldn't because he was on the other side of the anomaly. He just hoped his son took after him in the brains department.
He breathed a sigh of relief as Luke's anomaly opened higher up than his first anomaly. He crossed his fingers and he too began to pray that this would work.
Connor, Danny, Becker and Bertie watched at the anomaly site, whilst Lester, Abby and Jess watched from the Mobile Anomaly Detector Van. It had been parked at least twenty-five miles away and would be able to leave the area quickly should everything go awry.
Abby was under strict instruction that should the worst happen she was to look after herself first and foremost. She held her stomach and rubbed, as if the action were somehow comforting to her and her unborn baby.
Jess also was feeling the strain of being away from her loved one. She had wanted to follow Becker, and she would have followed him to the very end of the world. And if this was the moment in which the world ended, she wanted to be with him. She sighed audibly, as they watched the meteor's descent.
Lester pursed his lips. He had been told of the future and how the world had become a mere shadow of itself. He put an arm around Jess, his daughter and another around Abby; she was nearly his daughter in another sense anyway. If the worst happened, he had promised Becker and Connor that he would personally look after both girls.
The forest around Connor and his friends seemed to quieten. Almost as if the birds had stopped chirping and flying, the bears had stopped their activity, the deer had stopped foraging, and the wind was the only thing that whistled around them! It took on an eerie aspect.
The whole scene seemed to slow down as if in slow motion, and it was as if the whole forest was watching the meteor come closer, and closer, and closer.
Danny reached over and tapped Becker on the shoulder.
"If we get out of this alive... I'd like to marry your sister..." He smiled as the soldier sent a look in his direction. Becker's mouth fell open; Danny was asking him for his sister's hand in marriage! And at this moment in time what could he say?
So he smiled... Relieved that his friend's intentions were honourable. He relaxed a little as Danny put an arm around Bertie's shoulder.
"You could have just asked me you know!" Bertie muttered. She continued to watch the meteor's approach leaning into Danny's embrace whilst holding onto her brother's hand with the other.
2032...
Luke waited alongside his mother from this time, he hugged her. If this didn't got to plan things could change in both era's. The past could be saved but then the future could be destroyed. They would be delaying history for only two decades.
Abby was nervous, what if this didn't work? She aimed her EMD at the predators that were approaching. Suddenly a memory popped into her head. It was like déjà vu. She had been waiting in a van with Lester and Jess, and watching her beloved Connor on a screen. She tried to remember what happened afterwards but she just couldn't remember! She shook her head of the memory and glanced at Jess.
Future Jess aimed her own EMD at the approaching predators, and she turned to look at Matt and Emily. Similarly they had their EMDs trained upon the vile creatures.
Out of the corner of his eye, Matt saw a predator approaching. He took a deep breath and waited for the predator to come closer. There was no point in firing, for the sounds would only attract more beasts to come looking. He held his breath and waited.
"Don't fire until you have to!" Matt ordered.
2012...
Everything seemed to slow down as the meteor approached, and for a moment it seemed that it would miss the anomaly completely and crash into the earth.
Connor held his breath, Bertie tightened her grip on her brother's hand, and leaned into Danny's embrace. Danny welcomed the warmth of Bertie's body leaning into his. Becker returned the tightening of Bertie's hand in his own.
The meteor passed slowly into the anomaly and disappeared, but it was not over yet... They would not know if things had worked until the meteor had passed through both anomalies and returned through the other side. Only then would they relax and know that everything was OK.
2032...
Luke watched as the meteor appeared through the anomaly, he held his breath as the others around them kept an eye on the predators around them. Predators increased in numbers around them. One had become two, two into four, four into eight, at one point there were as many as twenty predators edging closer towards them.
"Hold your fire for as long as you can!" Matt hissed to his colleagues.
The meteor passed through the anomaly, and as it did so, it seemed to bounce within it. Connor had hoped this would happen, In fact he was banking in it. The meteor changed trajectory and was sent towards Luke's open anomaly. Quickly Luke closed Connor's first anomaly, stopping it from going the wrong way back through it. The meteor travelled slowly towards Luke's anomaly.
Then something strange happened...
The predators started to disappear. In their place humans now stood looking all bewildered, as if to say... "What am I doing here?"
Some started collapsing, as their memories began to change.
Jess screamed...
Sorry for the Short chapter. But I felt it was a suitable place to stop.
A few Reviews would be nice... The ones you sent me persuaded me to update!
Who knows what a few more could do...!
