I don't own Timecrest all rights belong to Sneaky Crab

All right now we get to the part where we go to Alencia I'm sorry about that but I needed a break to see what other characters were up to somewhat. I know that's not how you start a chapter is it I'm sorry but I'll get to the main contraction or the main way of entering this chapter the best way I can, just rambling I guess I'll do two chapters this one, and the one before it for this book normally, I do one chapter per story, but since I have this idea and I had that other idea, I might as well do them both All right let's go.

we return to Zoe and what Zoe is up to right now. Also, we age up Zoe is 18 now we get to her graduation and everything that we were trying to write in the last chapter, and then her going to Alencia. OK, we'll go there now Alencia, and meet Luther in person, OK I'm not gonna tell you what she's helping him with because I spoiled this chapter and I don't want to spoil a chapter for you I want you to read it for yourself.

but I will tell you that it was the first start in Alencia before we returned to the human world for a bit OK then.

Back in the human world M

in the future 14,008

Zoe is 18 years old

I woke up with a start. I just now turned 18 and I feel something is wrong with Alencia. I know I'm not gonna be summoned as a counterpart. I know that as a fact, the strain that severed me is over a new time will be born will be created. I know that much but a new Timecrest hasn't been born. That is strange. I don't have to be ashes counterpart, not Luther because I am his is not old enough yet to activate the watch. also, I know that that ashes counterpart is here in the human world because that's how that's how it works. We have to live here in the human world before our counterpart is activated. I mean our Timecrest activated the watch.

and then we live our life in our purpose as a counterpart and then we die that's how it goes but it's different now I studied them that's for sure so I know how it goes but I know something wrong with Alencia. I can feel it. I feel something wrong. I need to get it. I need to get to Valencia soon.

what is wrong Zoe? My parents asked if they had come up to me and my sister was trailing behind. Something is wrong. I need to get to Alencia soon. What's wrong with it? I don't know, but my powers are tingling and I need to get there since my Timecrest is in danger, I need to be by his side, I need to see him. Something is wrong with him or something is wrong with the world. At least we assist my family. I asked they all knotted even though you don't have emotions you do care my mother said, hugging me close I failed my mother, warmth, and my father's and my sisters OK then go back home. I thought the human world wasn't Home Alia was but I never saw much of it. Never got to see the lab laboratory that was born. This was gonna be a shocker for me.

I'm going to meet my Timecrest. I'm gonna meet him in person. I wonder what he's like. I don't have to wonder I mean that's not an emotion that is a feeling, but not the same thing more like what do I think of what it will be like will he be like me or more and he can help me find my emotions or maybe he can help me make new ones that I would hope for him to make me new emotions for me we can create them. Maybe I can create a motion and not talk so monotone. I wonder what Luther is up to I wonder what he would think if he ever saw me in person in my family too that's what I'm wondering.

I won't need to wander long. I'm coming whatever is going on in Alencia. I am coming to help.

Luther, I'm coming.

I am coming to help you soon.

precious one you'll see me soon.

Luther

I floated above the guild and looked down below me. It was a long way to look, so I couldn't see that far down, but I could see something was wrong. One I needed to know where Ash was. It's been at least five years. I need to know.

I was 18 now I needed to know that Riley was unhelpful like always come on Riley. I need to know you don't need to. Riley said it's for your good and safety. If you didn't know where Ash was right now why do you think that important that I need to know no Riley said, shaking her head no You're gonna tell me one way or the other Riley she kept shaking her head. She was 13 now a teenager the same age I was when I activated the watch. I didn't know a 13-year-old could be as disagreeable as she was.

but I'll get the truth out of her one way or another I was still a teenager myself, but also a full-grown adult now I had more authority over her than she did. I was dead, but even more so now I was feeling better too, which was good too it was good for me and everyone else around me maybe you just want the wash so you can reconnect to your human Riley said no I don't wanna do that. They probably moved on with their lives anyway I didn't know they died or anything like that. She should be a lot. They should be alive somewhere.

they should be at least in the human world somewhere, but I'll never see them again. That is true and certain I'll never see my counterpart ever again. I'll never see them. I'd never seen them in person, but I'll never hear their voice again. Scarlett came up and put my hand on my shoulder I'll help with what I asked, distracted for a moment, I hope you find Ash. She said I know I can count on you Scarlet that's why I like you. Love you not the way. Oh no, not dear. I said hugging her but I care about you Scarlet. I care about you very much. you've been like a great guardian mother figure for me and that's what you are to me. She smiled. It's hard to tell with her bone face. You saved my life. She said I know.

I gave her more time to live and I'm grateful it'll been almost 10 years, but it hadn't been that long. Her brother got to her before that could even be, but I think he wants to finish her off. I'm not gonna happen.

She also told me she was done with romance police for me. I don't want my brother to see anything about our relationship as anything but she said if I do find someone I want to be someone else outside of our relationship between the two of us and if not, I'm fine with just this relationship we have is me as your guardian, I want you to find someone special maybe even your counterpart that's impossible I thought and I need to do some research on my father. I didn't know much about him either and he knew so much about the watch. You can do that now I did a little research.

I disappeared for a bit. I took some photos photos. I searched research my father's name, Julius. I know he lived here in Valencia for a while, and he married my mother Helena, but I wanted to know more about him. I dug more what I saw shocked me shocked me to my core, turns out my father used to live on earth the human world my father used to live in the human world. I knew that but career had I didn't understand what it was father my father was a retired counterpart no wonder he knew much about the watch and helped me figure out how it worked and said to try me when I'd say he wouldn't understand and why he was proud of my inventions.

my father is young. How could that be? I did a little more research and I looked at the disk again the thumb drive thing that same one gave me on the Riley timeline more digging on the Timecrest before me. I didn't know much. It only gave me the same as it did before, but I researched her name and everything about her. She was the Timecrest before me. My father was my counterpart before mine, but I don't know much about counterparts in general. They weren't anything else left to know about him. That's the only information I know.

or maybe he has an actual counterpart and he trained them and continues to read. He wasn't an actual counterpart. He trained them, but he never trained my counterpart at all never did because he was here in Alia when she was awakened I guess he trained the counterpart before me, then came here, defined violet then she was dead or dying. Then he married my mother that's how it went I guess.

I don't know a lot about counterparts well if I ever do meet mine in person I will figure it out sooner or later.

I read the words again. Julius read trainer of the counterpart 999 number 999. What does that even mean? Well, I'll figure that out later too.

Meanwhile, another part of Valencia

in crane mansion

The villains were having a meeting about what they should do. The guild was built, so Crane didn't have anything to do there. He wanted to chat with Luther and somehow they wanted to get back at humans even worse than when he had done before. I was thinking he said to his crew of villains, thinking that we show we shall try humans again and quarantine zones. What for so last they're not making a disease or anything about it no, I just wanna bring Luther down to his knees. We trap his humans again. I don't think that'll work this time corey Asher said he's too vigilant, and the humans have gotten used to being outside them The amount of guilt isn't enough then we should just kick them off the council. Oh, I didn't think of that train saying if they can't be in a guild and they can't become masters that means the masters at the fall anyway are human Luther and the master of light.

but if I can get them locked up again, it could be good too. We can suppress them in one place or several places inside the quarantine zones but why are you quarantining them? They won't be quarantine zones though they're gonna be labor camps. They're gonna work for us they'll be forced to do labor for the naturals, that said Corey we can do that we can lock them away and make them work and then I will kill them. Eventually, I like Janice except worse. I don't care if Timecrest comes back and dies eventually the counterpart cannot bring him back. 00 we get it now.

we will start that soon. We will round up all the humans and start walking them up all the registered humans will suppress them and make them work. Luther will work the hardest. I work hard. He has no magic precisely why master on the council with no magic anyway he is human. He has no magic. I heard he sacrificed his magic still he has no magic so he's human. It'll be very easy.

I'll stop being a guild master and turn that whole guild into a labor camp. All the guilds will become that I will control them all all the guilds become labor camps and Timecrest will be the biggest there's trapped on an island so there's no way they can leave, we just have to take out all the naturals that live there unless they support Luther, then they'll stay, but if they don't, they'll be just naturals without a guild Guild will end in camp Oliver said first mage Ezra is it around to stop me he's locked away in that chronal gym.

do you think the counterpart will show up? I'm hoping for that if she does. Are they? I don't know if she's a she or not they show up then we can trap them too and their family if they have any they're humans after all.

Work began

crane had a meeting on unity. He told Eve and Luther they were dismissed. We don't need a master of time anymore. He was upset and so was the other how dare you kick me off this council Eve said I've been on this council for years and it'll be hard to replace me, someone said putting a hand on her shoulder no one likes you anyway right well there's no reason to just kick me off the council for no reason all you will be kicked off anyway all of you support Luther anyway I will start a new Masters council looked at him. Are you sure about that? Once they know that the master of wind earth and time is kicked off the council there'll be riots everywhere I'm aware that Oliver said, I'm aware of Alia will be dramatic he says, but what else can I do?

Porsche said what gives you that authority I am the leader of the council Oliver I will kick all of you off and put you in zones to not zones but well I'm not telling you my real plans yet cause I'm not gonna tell you maybe I should I'm going to make labor camps for all of you who support the hero of Valencia and humans alike humans and descendants Luther two the first crest guild. It'll be a guild and I will turn every guild that's in our area into these camps. These places of work you work for me whatever tasks I give you will do. I don't know what I'll do with you after that's what you're gonna do for me.

Luther said I might have supporters all over the world but that'll be very difficult. You have to throw everyone in here and into these things so be it Crane said half the world will be locked up then he said unless they work for me and be on my side you will be locked away because you worked with the first human anyway, but half the world will be locked away then if that's the case and so be it if I have to lock the whole world to get to you Luther then it'll be worth it.

The naturals will not take this Porsche said what do I care all of her said this will be my new decree no more masters council it'll be very difficult to have one if there's gonna be so many people locked away I think I will clear myself as the new king of Valencia clear how about it? Me king of this world I'll even control who comes and goes those who shall enter those shall not enter. You don't have that control and that responsibility. Only Ezra does say Porsche and Ezra is locked away in a corona Jen staring at Luther said because of him, because Luther locked him up now we locked her up to that outrage. The land will not stand for these bad plagues and things will happen to the land. If you do this happen say let the plagues happen. I don't care.

fine said Porsche you're just putting on your doom. We will feel the effects. We will make sure that we are safe from these plagues and whatever we make will suffer from these plagues she said now the council was dismissed and everyone was kicked off a new were met in place all those who were loyal to Crane were taking the place of everyone, and the quarantine, but labor camps popped up all the places there were everyone was being rounded up and locked away even Orem Hollow was dismissed. Porsche lost her union and blood moon Haven shut down and all the children were locked in there as well. All of them were locked in the one with Porsche, which is the one Luther was in Timecrest the entire island was became, and Riley dared to cross over through the barrier. She had to go to Lyle and get the Elden out. ash was no longer safe.

cheddar put aside her petty jealousy just so that Dash could be brought to safety at least inside and being in Lyle will not be safe. It won't be safe.

Lyle

Riley and Scarlet

I grabbed Scarlet's hand. Let us go. Scarlet Scarlett knotted. OK then Riley I'll come with you. Let us go then. we left and teleported there with Scarlett's help we landed in Lyle. We need to get to the Elden house. We need to get to Ash's house.

I agreed with Riley we needed to get there as soon as possible, but as we were already in Lyle we just had to search for the Elden house. She saw it first there is Scarlett. She said to me.

We walked up to the house and knocked on the door, ringing Scarlet along with me, of course, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon open the door, Riley princess Riley, Miss Scarlet what brings you down here she says her husband and me with us. Yes, what brings you down here?

Well, it's not good. I begin and Scarlet too. We said at the same time Alisha is falling apart already. It shouldn't be our hero who saved us, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon said to us yes he did but it's falling apart again, and I don't think Luther can help. We both said at the same time.

then come inside Adriana said gladly we said at the same time as we walked inside Riley saw we saw the house it looked just like it did when we Riley first came here so now what are we? What did y'all want to speak to us about?

Crane wants to lock up the whole world. We said he wants to lock everyone up and everyone that supports Luther everyone in the world unless they work for Crane and his cronies we have the world will be thrown into these labor-light places that we will have to be forced to work for him, everyone will be in debt. It's gonna be the worst and the worst and it was when there was Volder must become a new king. He wants to rule the world.

he wants to rule it from Everett out to the ice skates he can't get tan, but that's fine with him, he wants to rule the ice skates us, and and the eldest held their breaths and Winter house.

is there anyone who can save us the counterpart we said at the same time if they can arrive here in Valencia they could save us. They have just as much power and 40 is Luther they could do just as much maybe more if the counterpart can ever get here.

And then we'll make a plan a plan that's right a plan.

when she gets here, are they? I don't know. We don't know if it's a she he we don't know the Elden, not it but the first thing we need to do is to evacuate and reset as we had them. A teleport for each of them and a teleport or for Ash make sure Ash is packed too, and U2 are packed and only bring the essentials the old ones are dead as they were told.

Inside the Eldon's house

ash

Princess Riley came back Riley that's what she told me. Her name was in Scarlet. That's who they were came in and told us we had to leave Lyle. I didn't have any memories here so that was OK. They got down on my level and told me that we had to leave we were returning to some safe even if we did get trapped again would be safe, Notting took their hands. Mom and Dad took teleport from them and gave me one too. This will take us to our safe destination you are ready to go is everything that you need the Elden knotted and Mom and Dad and I too OK then let us go.

once we teleported, we were on top of a platform. I was surprised to see where we were. We were on the ion. I was shocked that's where we were. Yes, we are on the ion. Riley said and Scarlet took my hand and my parent's hands as we all walked in together voice said I am Pora and this is Folger. We welcome you to your new home home no longer be safe. Will be safe even if we get captured. At least we are in here. We can never leave ion though until we are safe until the counterpart arrives, we are not gonna be safe, it's gonna be rough she said, and helping us inside Ash already has a room come with me. Petra took my hand and walked me to my new bedroom. The rest of you. I'll find rooms for Mr. and Mrs. Eldon will find you a room Riley. I'm on it. Riley said she walked off with my parents the three of you need to meet with Mr. Kronos with Luther himself soon at first I'll show you to your rooms took me to my room and Riley took my parents to their room. We settled in and then we went to meet with who they said master Kronos once. or Luther Towncrest himself.

On ion

Luther

I watched this, but brought everyone in the Elden and Ash Ash was walking between them welcome I said, extending my hand to them. I can't believe this. This is Eldon said we're being greeted by Kronos himself and we welcome him into his home his eyes went wide and looked at me here asked me you don't know. I need to talk to you alone soon. He said I said as I ruffled his hair now the three of you will be living here during this time is no longer safe. I cannot let you and Ashli live there now that I know where you were. I am not letting you every place in Alisha is falling apart at me this is the only way I can keep all of you safe watch I'm glad you had the watch you need to keep that on you haven't been able to activate it yet. Well, it'll take some time. I was 13 when I was able to activate the watch, I don't know when it will be your turn, just simply not. OK stepped out of the room.

it will show you to your rooms. Pora took their hands and left now I was left with Ash alone.

as he looked at me with those big guys that were like mine getting down at his level, I thought I'd never see you again, and I didn't think this kind of surface stance would bring us together. Who are you? Asked me I had to rip it off right away I am your sibling. I am your brother, Ash, you are not as Eldon you are as you are Ashcrest he said I said, but you can go still under the name Elden for a while. You don't have to make a decision right away yet if you want to change your name I'm glad you're here safe Ash smiled at me, I'll take it back soon. He said, but can I keep my last name for now you can it's a big decision you have to make and your parents will have to make that decision too. It's not up to me or you it's up to them as well and hugged me well, I didn't expect that I thought I would never see you again my little sibling I said as I picked him up, and he smiled. You're getting big. He just laughs. I'm fine now. Ash said I know you are and I'm happy snuggling close as smiled, and we will never be separated again, my little sibling never will be a family

and for a time things were peaceful for a moment until the destruction would come. I just wanted to enjoy this moment and I will.

I think this chapter is long enough. I'm ending it here. There's gonna be a second part of this chapter and I cannot wait. I hope you enjoy chapter 5 and chapter 6. I'll be riding it soon. See you then.

Next chapter chapter 6
