Chapter 3
A/N- Sorry it's taken me so long to update. Anyway, this chapter is based off if the episode Return of the Kings.
Disclaimer- I don't own Pair of Kings.
The time machine stopped moving wirh a thud and I climbed out. I was in the middle of the jungle not to far from the Darkside. I locked the door on the machine. I started covering the machine with branches so that no one would be able to find it. Once I was done, I set off for the castle.
I arrived just as the younger me got off if the balloon for the first time. And Boomer was there! And not dead! I mean seriously, it's been 14 years since I've seen him. And Mason! I wish Mikayla was here to see him. Then there was the younger me. That brings back a lot of memories. Mostly memories of all the mistakes I made years ago.
The younger me, Boomer, and Mason went into the castle. I really need to talk to me. That sounded weird. Besides, what am I supposed to do? Just walk in and say, 'Hey Brady, it's me, Brady. I came back in time so that Boomer and your other long lost brother and Mason wouldn't die. By the way Mason, I'm married to your daughter.'
I'd get locked in the dungeon if I did that. Then I saw Mikayla come into the plaza, heading into the castle to meet the new kings. Younger me was about to meet the love of his life and make a terrible first impression. Oh well nothing I can do about it now.
I decided to head down to the village to find something to eat. After that I just decided to walk around the village for a while. The village from my time no longer existed. It was destroyed in the war against Kaita. Then a poster on the side of one of the buildings caught my eye.
It said: New Castle Guards Needed. With the arrival of the new kings castle security must be increased, meaning we are looking to hire several new guards. If you are interested come to the castle plaza at 7 a.m. on Saturday.
If I could get a job at the castle I would be able to be able to talk to younger me easier and make sure he doesn't make too many mistakes. I am going to the castle tomorrow to get a job as a guard. Being a guard should be easy. After all I was in a war for three years.
the next day
I arrived at the castle just a few minutes before seven. The castle was crowded with people getting ready for the coronation. Oh yeah, I forgot. Today was the day Boomer and I broke the sacred ruby and woke up Mt. Spew. Young me was about to have his first life threatening situation. Good times. Not really.
I saw Mason on the other side of the plaza holding a clipboard. I walked over to him and asked, "Is this where the new guard hiring is at?" "Yes," he said, "are you applying for the job." "Yeah." "Good. What's your name?" Mason asked. Oh no. I couldn't tell him my real name. I just said the first name that came into my head.
"Mitchel." Really Brady? Your son's name? Mason started writing on his clipboard. "And your last name?" "Musso." I have no idea where that name came from. "Mitchel Musso. That's funny, we have the same initials. I'm Mason Makoola." Mason and I shook hands.
"So you're the only one who showed up for guard tryouts, so as long as you can fight good the job is yours," Mason told me. "Are there any weapons that you have trained with before?" "I'm pretty good with a sword," I told him.
Mason went into the castle and got one of the swords that was hidden in the wall. He gave it to me and we sparred. After we were done Mason said, "You're pretty good. The job is yours." Mason stared at me for a second and then said, "You look a lot like the new king Brady."
I should've known Mason would see the resemblance. Mikayla probably will too. This could cause trouble for me. "I haven't met the new king yet. It must just be a coincidence that we look alike." "Yeah, probably," Mason muttered. "Well now we need to get you your uniform and gear."
Mason lead me to the part of the castle where the guards live. He gave me all of my my guard equipment and assigned me the room where I will be living at. "You have a few hours off," Mason told me. "Be ready by noon. All of the guards have to go to the plaza for the coronation."
noon
It was time for the coronation to start. I was standing guard by the caslte doors. It was over pretty quickly. Next thing I new, young me and Boomer were climbing into the king cruiser and destroying the sacred ruby. In the following hours of panic, I pretended to be worried about the date of the island. In reality, I had no reason to be worried considering I already knew what was going to happen.
It was just about time for me and Boomer to return to the plaza when Lanny summoned all if the islanders into the plaza. When we got there, Lanny started telling everyone that me and Boomer were dead, and the weird thing was he seemed happy about it. Too happy.
Then it hit me. Lanny wanted me and Boomer dead. I wanted to give him the beating of his life, but he is currently king. Also, I already promised future Lanny that I would forgive him for whatever he did when he was younger. But Lanny is still going to hear what I have to say when I get back to the future.
Eventually Boomer and I got back with the other ruby and everyone was glad. Eventually the crowd left and my guard shift ended. I began to walk around the hallways looking for me. Eventually I found young me. "Are you lost?" I asked from behind him. "Yeah," he said as he turned to face me.
His eyes widened. "Whoa. Either you are like my long lost older brother, or you're me from the future. I mean, how else could you look so much like me." "That's exactly what I am." "You're my long lost brother?" young me yelled. "No, you won't me your long lost brother for a few years. I'm you from the future."
A/N- Sorry it has taken me so long to update. I got sidetracked writing another story.
