Amelia Watson
Amelia slowly lifting her head up from where she is laying on top of the pile of garbage bags. Look like she has been warping to the next place again.
Hopefully for the last time.
At least this place is new enough to have a plastic. Ame mused as she is slowly sitting on the soft bag, groaning from the wounds on her shoulder.
At least the bleeding seemed to be stop, a small good news after train of bad one.
Shaking her head for a few times and scanning the surrounding. Amelia concluded that she must be home at last, or the place that as close to home as
possible.
The junkyard that she falls into is part of the big alleyway that leading her to the crowd city outside. The floor made from concrete and the wall being formed
by red bricks. Everything looks normal here so she didn't bother to searching the trash bin. A mere glancing is enough to tell Watson that it is the same as
her home. Plastic food pack and stuff like that, coupled with paper cups for the eco lovers.
" Are you wining, Watson?" Someone that being buried in the pile of junk muttered, Amelia couldn't recognized the sound but it must be one of her friends.
Only Myths girls are the people who casually calling her Watson. Her name is always Ms. Watson. Amelia, or Ame for everyone she knows, there are no
particular reason for why that's in the case, though.
" Goombus, is that you?" Amelia pulling the big bag out until she finally seeing human shape that laying under it. She open her flashlight just to make sure…
" Who t f is this!?" Watson yelled, after seeing the person who calling out her name. She is the silver hair girl in white clothes and black hoodie that reminds
Amelia of orca. Her red eyes reflected with light from Watson's hand as she is making a face.
" Don't shove your torch at me like that! Deep sea creatures like Atlantean aren't good with light, remembered?"
" Sorry…" Watson closing the flashlight, before quickly open it again, pointing at the girl's face. " Wait, who the heck are you? Do we know each other?"
Silver hair girl pouted. " Are you become Alzheimer or what? Can't remember me after how much time we have spends together?"
" Seriously, I can't remember spending a single second with you! And what with that smell? You stink like a rotten skunk that died from diarrhea!?" Amelia
winced and covering her nose after taking some air near the girl's body.
The girl faking a cries by covering her face with black and white eye mask, pretty cool stuff. To be honest.
" If you can't remember me, at least you must knowing the priestess! Go talk with her then, perhaps she can cure your rotten brain!" The girl continued to
cries, Watson almost feel guilty if her attention didn't following the word this stranger just said.
Priestess? The only one I know is…!
" Inyaaa! Help! There's a weirdo who claimed to know you and me over there!" Amelia cries as she is running toward where the strange girl has
pointed. Using a random words like ' Wah' or ' Tomorrow' that being echo back by the one she is searching for like how bat using sonar in caves.
After a climbing past bolder of junks. Amelia finally shining her flashlight at the person that laying at the place and of course it must be Ina-
" You gotta be kidding me!" Amelia clenching her teeth after seeing the person who is laying in the middle of the junkyard. She is the woman in white and red
ceremonial clothes. Even her face is being covered in the thick cloth mask that being draw a picture of big eye at the middle of it,
as if to show that the purpose of her life is to watching someone else. The only flesh part Amelia can see is the woman's white hair that showing at the gap
between her hoodie and mask.
" My name is the watcher. ( Yep, the same one from 'Eldritch Horror and Time Traveler' and The Lost Song of Life and Death arc.) the observer of the
universe. Do you forget your past, Amelia Watson?" The priestess posing in some manner that remind her of 14 years old girls.
" Yeah. Yeah. That girl is watcher. Ancient one priestess. But you always call her Wahtcher." The silver hair girl in orca hoodie waddles toward Amelia who still
gawking at the situation.
" Can somebody punch me in the face? I don't want to remain awake anymore." Amelia groaned, hugging her own knees as she start sobbing into her palms.
…
" So, in short. Almost everything happened in the same way except from the fact that there are just three of us who ending Hachama's invasion in Russia?
Where are all my friends going?" Amelia sobs as she is inhaling Copium that Wahtcher is holding in front of her.
" Welp, things happened. We go drunk our ass off. And you insist on going back in time to save your father and mother.
And you probably could've guessed of the rest!" The orca girl said, gently patting Watson's head while a black shadow that moving like tentacles are growing
from priestess' body. Gently pulling bullet out of Amelia's wound and sealing it with space magic.
" Where the heck did you get that bullet? It's a matter of ANTI equation. Being use for shaping the three dimension by the dark one." Wahtcher asked,
ignoring Amelia reaction upon seeing the moving shadow from her body.
" No, I mean. Where the freak are you guys coming from. I don't remembered seeing you in any yearbook I kept!" Ame suddenly jumped up, angering again.
" Wait, do you really don't know us? I thought you were joking but-"
" That's it! You guys are joking right? Inya, Gooba! This is not funny at all! Throwing that stupid mask and the pat on your chest already!" Amelia running
toward the girl in priestess costume, while the orca girl yelling something like ' This is 100% natural!' at her.
" Wah… Stop!" The priestess begged, but it is too late for that. Amelia already pulling the white mask out, revealing the girl's face that is very similar to
Ninomae Ina'nis but not actually her. The girl hair is short and completely white when compared to the dark, long and squishy one from Ina'nis.
But the thing that tell Ame the girl in front of her is not Ina are neither of that. It is the big scar that run across the girl's face.
As if someone has tried to spilts this poor girl's head in half long ago.
" Wait, you really aren't Inya! …sorry…" Amelia going to release the clothes mask that she is holding, but Wahtcher suddenly grabbed Watson's hand and
staring shyly at her. " You revealed my face to the mortal world. Please take responsibility, we will start living together from now on!"
Black shadow suddenly wrapping around Ame's waist and pulling her closer to the Wahtcher. While the silver hair girl yelling something about unfairness and
dragging Watson from behinds, pulling detective toward her instead.
" Wait! Wait! I don't want to being sandwiched by strangers, tell me what happened to Ninomae Ina'nis and Gawr Gura first!"
It's work like charm. Two girls suddenly letting Amelia go, sending the detective to bumping with the solid ground by accident.
" Why did you say that name!" " No talk about bad woman here!"
Wahtcher and the orca girl doing the akimbo as they are standing on top of the falling detective, relatively angry.
" And who are you to judge them?" Amelia countered, both of her friends are nice person. She will not let everyone to talk bad on them in front of her.
" Of course we can. They are trying to destroy this planet after all. Can't you remembered?" Orca girl Hugging her chest as she is glaring at Watson,
who open her mouth, but unable to close it.
…
" My name is Sakamata Chloe, former minister of the Atlantis and now the emperor of the whole ocean on this planet. A few years ago. Gawr Gura,
spoiled daughter of former king, Girass and his human queen decided to seize the throne for herself and throwing her parents in the lava jails before
declaring war with humanity.
Luckily that the group of rebels made an alliance with humanity before we will finally managed to stop Gura's plan from melting ice glacier on northern and
southern pole and sink this planet underwater. You are there too while I have the final duel with Gura, remembered?" Chloe asked Amelia who quickly shook
her head.
" No way in hell! Last time I checked, the emperor of Atlantis are my friend Gawr Gura, a stinky shark who live with humanity far longer than the Atlantean.
It's unreasonable why she would want to killing all of us!"
" Think! Ame! Think! Gura is the royal family of Atlantean. Why would she ever contacted with humanity? You are the one who being unreasonable here!"
Chloe pointing her index fingers at Amelia's forehead as she is speaking.
" But Gura's father sacrificed her mom to the great beast Leviathan, make him become a drunken old fool and causing Gura to run away from her home for
9000 years. She tell me all this by herself. It's all start when her mother is… F**k!" Amelia suddenly realized something. If her time travels power is working.
Gura's mother isn't supposed to die anymore because they have warned her about what's going to happened. And by doing that.
It's changing the history into…
Chloe frowned. " What is this crap you keep talking about? Gura's parents are alive and well. It's because they spoiled her too much that causing the girl to
become full of herself. Thinking that everything belong to her and want to rid of the dry land and human that get in her way."
" F**k! F**k! F**k!" Amelia start beating her own head angrily. They have changed the history. But didn't think a minute about consequences of doing so.
Wasn't Gura told her about evil minister name Chloe? Now their role has been swapped because Amelia is an idiot who travels back in time and trying to
solving the problem she can barely understand.
" Calm down!" Wahtcher pulling Ame's hands before she could hurt herself more before reintroduced herself.
" My name is Watcher. The former priestess of the false god, Uruhu Rushia. I have joining that ' Temple of Immortal' that being found by Momosuzu Nene
thousands of years later and practiced myself to become a master of space magic when the great threat finally come."
"What is that?" Amelia wiping her nose, can guessing about half of what's about to coming out of the priestess mouth.
" Ninomae Ina'nis. After the accident that destroyed half of her body. Desperate father trying to revive his daughter by using the forbidden book,
Necronomicon. It's partly successful. He has revived his daughter, but the ancient one influences is too strong and she has killing her own mother by accident
while she is taking care of her. Causing Ina's mental breakdown and giving her the idea of destroying the world. If it's not the sacrifices of-"
" Stop!" Ame rising her hand, unable to listen any single words from Wahtcher's mouth.
" Please stop. I… I didn't want this! We didn't mean to…" Watson start sobbing again thinking of how their journey has start.
Ina, Gura and Ame are full of hope to saving their mothers and everyone. But in fact, they couldn't even save themselves. Only make it become worse.
" What's matter, Watson? Is something happened when you travels back in time? Why do you act like you never heard all of this before?" Chloe asked,
stroking Amelia's shoulder as she is trying to calm her friend down.
" Yes… if only I can go back in time… Wait a second! I actually can! Thank you, stinky orca!" Ame hugging Chloe who, suddenly frowned.
" I am not that smelly!" The girl protested, but Watson already shifting her attention back to the priestess in clothes mask.
" I don't know who you are but thank for healing my shoulder. May you seek what you want to find in whatever world you've come from." Wahtcher nodded,
not sure what Amelia is saying but guess that it is a good thing.
" Bye!" With that word, Amelia Watson start running at her full speed again, pulling her pocket watch out and looking for the time.
…
" She is so slow!" " Shhh! We are too close to start gossiping her!"
Chloe and Wahtcher talking with each other loudly as Amelia is running with impressive skills since she has been train by professional athlete.
But it is still a speed of human which, by ancient one priestess and Atlantean's standard, is quite slow.
Amelia turns back and running in full circles again, trying to gaining more speed as the times run, but after ten minutes has passed.
Detective finally admitted her defeat.
" I have lost all my power!" Ame sitting on one of the trash bag, crying in distress.
" What does she mean?" Chloe asked, causing Wahtcher to bonking her head. " It's mean she couldn't running back in time anymore, you idiot!"
" But how?" Amelia asked, looking at her own hands in disbelief.
" Just my theory. But see this ANTI equation bullet?" Wahtcher open her palm and showing the bullet she just pulling from Watson's shoulder.
" Maybe whoever that shoot you has used this equation to delete or at least subdue your time power. I heard that it can be done, but not sure how."
The priestess explained.
" Then how can I being cured?" Amelia demanded, but Wahtcher simply shook her head. " We don't have enough information to do that.
Maybe the council can… but I am sure they don't do it for you. All I can advise you is to pray. There's nothing else our current knowledge can do."
" So, I am being trapped in the another timeline I have created by accident with a stranger. For god sake!" Amelia wailed.
" Hey! It aren't that bad. At least in our world there's a lot of decent burger. Like ' Fubuking' franchise, thinking about it.
Why don't we go there and take a bite? Maybe talking about the different between our universe and such. Like someone used to said.
' It's never too late to having a new friend' !" Chloe jokingly pushing Amelia's shoulder, cause her to smile a little bit.
" Sorry, mate. But I am sandwich enjoyer!" She frowned when seeing the blank stare from Chloe and Wahtcher.
" There are no sandwiches in this world? Man, that's suck!" Ame groaned.
" What is ' sand witch' you are talking about?" Wahtcher asked, seemingly interested.
" Well, it is a meat and vegetable that being place between two breads. You know, sandwiched?" Amelia scratches her head.
" I think you are describing the burger here. Are you sure it is not the same thing?" Chloe wondered.
" Welp, maybe it is. Guess I have to ask philosopher next time I can get back to my world." Amelia chuckling tearfully as her two new friends are helping she
gets up on her feet again.
The trio start smiling as they are turning toward the light that coming from outside of the alleyway… and one person in black costume and is wearing a WW2
gas mask while still pointing MP28 submachine gun (using .45 round) at them.
" Stop! Or I will shoot!" The stranger commanded, their voice sound robotic, probably using voice changer or something.
" Oh come on! Right in front of my way to the restaurant?" Amelia groaned.
…
" I heard rumor about magic, monster and time traveling in the city area. What are you guys exactly, which drugs have you used?" The person said,
black gas mask gleamed by the light from the outside of the alleyway as they are speaking.
" And who are you? Nazi Waffen SS?" Ame demanded, gripping pistol inside her coat and wondering if she can shoot through it.
The person in front of her chuckled. " This is just a mere camouflage. Nobody should know my real identity after all, dropping your weapon now!" They bark,
making Amelia winced.
" Okay, we mean no harm…" " How dare you doing this! You know who this person is, right. A freaking time traveler! Showing your purse as a compensation!"
Chloe suddenly yelled as she is walking forward, making the Nazi(?) aiming the gun at her instead.
" Mugging? So you are the criminal after all, follow me to jails if you don't want to get shot!"
" Wait, it's all misunderstanding!" Watson protested, but Wahtcher also walking toward that person too.
" No one can threaten our friends!"
" I will start counting! Three. Two. One-" the masked person pulling the MP28 trigger, but Chloe is already jumping beside them and kicking,
forcing the person to dodged by flipping aside, but the act reveals a purple skirt underneath their black coat.
We are fighting woman right now? But that's not new anyway.
Watson thought as she is reaching for her gun, but the stranger suddenly shooting submachine gun, sends the bullet flying around and forcing Amelia to lied
down.
Chloe summoning her family spear ' Dagon' ( created by part of the lower jaws of the beast with the same name.) and thrust the black decorated long blade
at the mask girl who, flipping again to dart from the attacks. Shooting her gun at Amelia as her weapon is being turned around.
Wahtcher opening the portal of shadow and sucking bullets inside, before releasing them by open another portal in front of the mask girl.
Shooting the enemy with her own bullets.
The girl being hits by three of .45 rounds and falling on the ground. Seemingly dead.
" Who the f**k is she anyway? I am so confused!" Ame panting, looking at the person they just murdered.
" No idea. Maybe she is a Neo Nazi or something. Those guys exist after all!" Watcher walking toward the girl's body and pulling the gas mask out,
reveal a roughly draw grey cat mask that hidden inside.
"A mask within a mask? Aren't this is exclusively good guy's doing?"
" Wait a minute. I used to see this mask before but it is in the museum… Oh sh*t!" Amelia screams, realized that something is horribly wrong with the
situation around them.
" What?" Priestess asked, ripping the girl's black coat, revealing a tactical vest that being hidden inside. .45 bullets that being shot at her body earlier falling
from Wahtcher hands as she is trying to understand what's happening.
" My name is Kuro Neko. Emissary from hell!" The laying girl open her eyes and said, showing a flash grenade in her hand.
The grenade activated, blowing a light that blinded them all as the girl is jumping up and pulling Mauser c96 pistol out of her skirt and dart at Amelia while
everyone is stunning.
" You are a leader aren't you?" She snarled and pulling the trigger, sending 7.65x25 mm. round to flying at Watson's face and probably blowing her brain out.
Had Chloe not jumped in and baring her teeth, blocking the bullet with her fangs.
" Ouch! She push my crooked teeth back into place!" Sakamata whimpered.
" That because you are stupid enough to blocking the bullet with your tooth, stinky!" Ame reprimanded.
Kuro Neko shooting another round at them, but one black shadow that growing from Wahtcher's feet suddenly blocking the bullet, while the rest is wrapping
around her legs, making the girl falls down.
" Damn it!" Masked girl seems to not giving up easily as she is turning her gun toward Wahtcher and ready to pulled the trigger, but not before Amelia will
pressing the Glock 40 barrel at the back of her head.
" Not fast enough, bois!" Detective chuckled as the mask girl finally give up and dropping the pistol. While Wahtcher quickly binding her with the black
shadow from her body.
…
" Okay, I admit my defeat. But who the hell are you guys anyways?" The mask girl said, being pushed forward by Chloe spear and Wahtcher's shadow while
Amelia Watson is casually walking behind them.
" We are Atlantean and ancient one priestess. Come on! You must've seen our name from the TV right? Savior of humanity." Chloe thumbs up at herself
proudly.
The mask girl shook her head, confirming Watson's fear.
" Never heard about that! Are you guys surely not high on something right now?"
" Which year is it?" Amelia asked, fumbling for her phone. But it still giving her a normal time zone, same before she will leaving the Atlantean city with Gura
and Ina.
" Come on! You must heard our reveal not long ago right? That big banquets when humanity realizes that aliens are among them far longer than the arrival of
Tokino Sora and star people's ship. If you never heard about them then you are a freaking lunatic!" Chloe pouted.
The mask girl shook her head. " Never heard about any of that."
Chloe turning back toward Ame and Wahtcher. " Come on! Tell her how wrong she is."
" Can somebody please tell me which year it is?" Amelia begged, visibly shaking at this point.
Orca girl frowned. " Why do you keep asking that? Of course it is-"
"Today is 14 January 20xx. What is you problem?" The mask girl said, tilted her head at the trio who gawked at her.
" Can you repeat the year part?" Wahtcher asked, understanding what Amelia is trying to comprehend at last.
" Yeah. We are still in the of 20xx. Are you guys' calendar telling the difference or something?" The girl answers calmly, wondering what scheme these guys
are pulling right now.
" And you are?" Amelia asked after Chloe has dropping her spear and staring at the mask girl again, remember this stupid cat mask at last.
" No f**king way!" Atlantean biting her hand as she is trying to breath.
The mask girl using her free hand to tossing the cat mask aside, revealing her pink and blue, curls hair.
" Ateshi wa, Minato Aqua desu!"
Amelia Watson collapsing on the street, unable to stay awake any further by amount of information that being put in her brain.
Before she will closed her eyes. Watson finally understand that the timeline didn't merely broken by her act. It is turning into a mash at this point.
Denver : Colorado : United States. 20xx ( Two hundreds years before the event of Holo Myth and roughly 182 years before the birth of Amelia
Watson.)
