I don't own Timecrest all right below the Sneaky Crab

Who we are in chapter 31 of the story I can't believe it. A twist of fate is going great. I love this story and I think it's going well for our girl Nicole or Nikki. I should say this chapter follows another one of Ash's adventures to Whiskey Brook they all go, but there are some changes. I hope you enjoy these changes and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Maybe I can add some details into this chapter a little bit more showing the different sides and narratives of what different pass. Ash would take depending on the way the story sets up.

Also, this chapter will take place after the fire probably during that little break in between the fire that'll give us a little length too will show both sides of that and then both sides of the wispy Brook thing that way we can see both sides and narratives all right then and it will make this chapter pretty well long and very well detailed.

So let the first chapter part four begin

Nikki

We finally left the guild, and it was on fire as we teleported out. The watch was blank for the time being the four of us stood there. I say four because Ash was standing with us.

If it was the other scenario, it would just be Ash and I and the girls we can see both scenarios.

And the first scenario of us standing here that I see we're standing outside the guild. The guild is on fire. We took a moment of silence for both scenarios about the guilds burning as we listened to the world around us and Timecrest crying out for us. Even the administrators took off their hats and pressed them to their chests. This reminded me of something I said to my sisters after that yes she said quietly to me when they took the hats off for the flag for the United States oh yes, I'm guessing Luther is like that to them And the guild is like that to them because it's in his name.

Then the moment of silence came, we listened to the guild, crying out for us to if we weren't so tired we would've put out the fire in the whole guild.

After that, we walked to the tent, where our team was everyone was happy to see us and Ash too.

This would be the part with Riley's death so this would be the part where Ash was gonna see Allison dead in the scenario he did, but not here not in real life.

He didn't leave on the 10th and walked around a bit. He went time to loan to talk to the watch. We weren't part of that conversation we stayed with the team for this one we knew Ash wasn't gonna leave the perceptivity.

Then he came back then he watched the stars was one of the people that the watch chose him to. We weren't on the list obviously since it was all the scenarios mesh together he wants the stars with everyone on the team.

Except for Allison and the rest of us according to the game code, Allison would be dead. That is fine. We say her in real life at least.

She was alive and that's all that matters.

We talked to her while this was going on Ash, seeing the stars with the people with the rest of his team.

And then afterward we got ready to leave. I heard Ash and AC talk a bit about if you pay 10 to be alive which we did about finding his last memories and promising it. We know from the game experience that ain't gonna stay, but we knew That was gonna happen as well.

Then when it was time to go, and they said we could leave, we left to find Whispy Brook we know more about Whispy Brook, but we didn't wanna tell Ash about it right now. Allison looked a little afraid, but she went anyway.

Then we left it was a long journey so we teleported Ash there.

And the rest of the team, it was creepy very creepy, indeed when we got to the front of the town.

Then we saw Scarlet. Ash said we saw the woman in the bone mask she blocking our path.

With basis Flaming basis stood in front of us one of them was a basil as Queen Roger started to freak out.

These were no ordinary basil lists. These were flaming basil. They weren't like the ones from the tremble caves.

Hold on I said my sister is not our magic to cool them down.

Then we helped defeat them.

Then big giant spiders came out acid spiders. They were creepy. My sisters and I looked afraid, but we stood our ground as best we could as was afraid too, but was the most afraid he said stop you're gonna draw them to us. I can't help it. He says I hate spiders.

Defeat them as a teen I heard Ash say my sister and I noted along with what Ash said they look weak, even if there is a mother spider we can defeat these things we use our fire magic. They hate fire. Ash did too, and Cindy tossed as we used our high magic of fire magic we had.

We wanted to talk to Scarlett, but we couldn't right now I had to stay out of her way, but now she was acting like an antagonist to us.

As we defeated the spiders, we each got a piece of iridium. Roger didn't have a piece he was upset. Why don't I have one you didn't defeat a spider Roger said AC even the girls who were afraid of spiders took turns Allison to. She also had a piece of sweets. I got a piece too.

You can be useful and clean up our pieces for us fine Roger said as he tried to use his magic bother Roger would do it. Noel said she cleaned up all the pieces of I am and solid pieces too. They're not useful to us as we as our pieces why can't you have them? We can have as many pieces if I am as we want anyway.

I heard Ash say sweet now we know what to do to face the spiders then he went off the top to Roger about something about him being upset about playing a leader and deserting him and all that kind of stuff so now you wanna talk about it we heard their conversation after their teamwork defeating the spiders and their teamwork defeating another round basis we did it.

Then at least noticed that the woman in the bow mask had some more basilisk. Scarlet had so many more bass for us to fight. Let us take care of this. Noel said Joelle said I said to the team what we can do as a team fine will distract them then you will do your thing.

All right, then Ash said go ahead at least did the siphoning or a thing, and someone in the Grim Reaper reaper says I shouldn't summon him often. She said grabbing a piece of her hair.

To destroy the basil is queen well that's incredible. That thing is awesome. Elise, really it is kind of creepy but cool at the same time I said at least knotted. Thanks.

Then another fight between Roger and Ash began down their teamwork we shouldn't fight. Allison said you're right I said we shouldn't.

Come on guys no fighting. Noel said if she jumped between Ash and Roger stop, we have to fight Ashton come with me to Windsor Howell like he promised I don't hold it against you three because you three aren't part of this, but I promised and he broke it now he wants to talk about it And he's carrying secrets talk about much of his secrets but I know there's something he is hiding and so are you three we cannot tell you everything Roger Noel said Joel not at her head yes we can't tell you everything Roger You girls are secretive. He says you're more secretive than Ash himself And Ashli is still acting as a leader ever since Trimble caves he's not acting. He's a true war leader like his brother more of a leader than even Kronos himself, but we didn't mean to say that we meant that he is like Kronos in that way.

Nash is right we can work better if we work better as a team and the team needs his team-working aspiration, not his attitude right now just staring at us. Why do you agree with that? We can't tell you why.

But he had his little mission to take care of sometimes people, including leaders have their missions. Even the three of us have our mission besides ashes, the mission of keeping Ashli safe. We have our other mission here in Alencia eventually, we will be parting from the team as well, not for now for a while, but will be parting with the team because we have our mission to carry out.

Everyone has their mission. I said the girls were not in agreement with me. Elise also agreed she was right. Nikki is right said Elise everyone has their missions and secrets. AC also agreed.

And not everyone has the singles.

Roger patted a little you shouldn't know everyone's secrets that is not good if you do.

I just think that everyone's intention should be out in the open. Roger said besides when it feels better if everyone's problems are out on the table and we know everyone's problems and secrets we know more about each other and know about the trust you're not trusting someone. It is better for everyone.

No, it wouldn't The girls argued. It could be more harmful than hurtful than harmful than perfectly good for someone's health no, we put this behind us now And work as a team for the time being.

Fine Roger said, but I'll deal with this later.

He said as he looked at Ash.

You know he said to Ash again I said you'd be my leader if you were in expire inspiring me, but you're not being inspiring right now I don't acknowledge you as my leader fair enough Ash said, but the girls do and Elise and AC does Ash said you can leave and go out this town if you like no I'll stay. He says I don't wanna walk through Whispy Brooke alone even Allison trusts me as her leader leaders aren't just inspirational, but they have to be trustworthy. You're not trustworthy enough either. Roger said you just don't think I am because I share my secrets with you I want to know what kind of leader we have Ash said Roger said to Ash well you didn't tell me all your secrets about being a prince so I guess we even then guess so Roger said.

And why are you so keen on saving this reputation of this guy Roger asked because I think of Agnes as a personal hero as said sodas so does Allison we both think of that way in different ways but we do think of sickness as a hero of some sort that's why we're doing this proving him innocent is why. It is important for me and her.

It is not just for me. This is for Allison too. Allison clapped her hands and hugged – in front of everyone Ash was surprised but returned his hug always be by your side. You know that she says in his head yes thank you thank you, Allison. He says we were happy that maybe the partner that Ash needs is Allison even though I see smiles at the exchange and he normally doesn't smile at anything as long as the girl lies after me he says I'm fine with it besides, I can see the way that she's looking at him. My sister is and I saw it too.

Tell let us continue as we step forward and Scarlet appeared again with Vasilis. We took him down once again then Merrick and Alan showed up. What is American Alan doing here? Oh, it's none of your business. Too bad the lady Scarlet isn't at her full power. Are you all would be dead right now Merrick says.

Why are you fighting us? Alan Roger asked if I had my orders he said, but we are on Pacific orders too. We have above the torturing all of you before killing you on pacific orders not to kill that one as American points at Ash did you forget someone or three people, oh yes, Mary says looking at the three of us and the three of you as well. I almost forgot about the three of you.

He says I'm sorry, Nikki, Noel and Joelle. We will not fight you three at all unless you have to he says lady Nikki he says Noel and Joel he says is as respectful as he can to the three of us.

But the rest of you is a fair game he says why me Ash asks why are American Allen non-pacific orders not to kill me figures you don't know he says Merrick says, has not figured it out puzzled Merrick gets close to Ash and says, it loudly for everyone, including Roger to hear.

Why are we treated so unfairly he says to Ash, why are we treated so why we treated so unfairly in this world? I'm here to prove that's wrong. He says, and to prove that we are worthless that we're not worthless but human descendants like you and me are not trash.

How do you know I'm a human descendant Ash asked Merrick to win the watch. He says I knew something was up when you had that pocket watch he says only a human descendant and a Timecrest can have that watch and I can sense it from you. You have the Nexx to spell he says that's I that's how I know that you are a human descendant. Also, I know the girls are guarding you and so I know you're close to whoever.

I can't say right now Merrick says fair enough Ash said Ash looked over at Roger. We did too.

Ash said Rogers's eyes they're like a pool of clouded water. I can't look into them anymore.

I can't believe you Roger said I said you trust me you said we would trust each other that we were teammates he said and now you were holding this big secret over my head. When were you gonna tell me that you were a human descendant?

When you were able to trust me, Ash said and now I don't know I just have to leave now figures no one will tell you, Roger Allen. No one would trust you with that secret. And you're too weak no one would trust you with the secret as weak as you are Even Nikki Noel and Joe are stronger than you.

They have high-level spells we've known for a long time too two they're no ordinary people, no ordinary, mages the three of them.

Thanks for recognizing our power level Noel said to Alan well I guess you're welcome. He says they're not long and they teleported away.

Then Roger walked away from the group Ash went after and I don't think he wants to be found either. No, I think he wants to be alone this time. And I don't think he wants to be found either sad Elise let us continue. We don't need him. We need to get away now.

We don't need him. We had the girls and Allison that was true. We did as agreed we do have as we have the yet we have Allison and the girls. He said I can we can teleport over the river. We don't need to jump at AC Mason AC said all right do your thing girls.

And we did we teleported to the group across the river as we teleported across, we fought again against Scarlet and the Vasilis and acid fighters once again getting more. I am pieces. Also, Ash needed to talk to the team about things he needed to talk to them about what they thought of him as a human descendant and the rules regarding it.

AC said I just know that I could trust you so don't lie again Ash fair enough Ash said but it's against the rules for me to be a human descendant. Do you not care? I don't care about the rules all I care about is people who trust AC said, don't lie to me again said I don't care about the rules at Allison Alice drugged. I don't care if you're a human descendent she said I know why you had to lie and I know it's brave of you to keep it a secret she said. As she takes Ash's hand in her own and looks deeply into his eyes, I know it's not easy she says I know it's not what Ash said back, but I'm glad you understand Allison. I would have to if I had that issue she said.

Then the Bas queen came back and the spider thing thing happened again. The teamwork thing started to happen after our beautiful little moment. We got into battle mode once again Then AC got injured. We had to find a house to put him in and we did relay him in a house to help him get OK he was out. There's knocked out for the moment.

We watched over him. It was safe inside the little house that we were in. We talked quietly among ourselves while AC was resting. Do you think he'll be OK? He'll be fine.

Well, he rested. I closed my eyes and went into a trance. I saw a vision of the other scenario the fire scenario, which was the same somewhat except with Riley being alive and AC dead, and Allison still dead in that vision or not maybe not in this one.

But the fire still was the same no difference was we didn't go to the gardens first thing else did happen. We couldn't save the guild and we still came to Whiskey Brook but this time Riley was with us. Riley didn't like that we were with Ash you witnessed Ash's fight with Riley, Riley, feeding him, Griffin, an egg sandwich, or Griffin's egg omelet, if you chose something else.

Riley tells him about Helena and Julius Ash tells her to stop telling him about Helena and Julius. They're not his parents. The Aldens were hearing her say I don't wanna take away what the Aldens mean to you. I just want you to know about your parents, your birth parents, she said.

He said that would only distract me right now Riley then they would argue. He would tell Riley to leave because he didn't want Agnes to hurt her. He knew that it was Ignace and that vision and that scenario that we got to live out and you should go back to Kronos. We heard him say made Riley sad and then Ash left.

He fought spiders and I am. We fought spiders with him and got I am and he told us to leave. We can't go and leave you here by yourself as we said and in this particular scenario why not he asked we have to watch your back every moment we're like your bodyguards. My sister said we have to watch you. But what if Agnes kills you too he can't kill us. He can't we're too strong. Noel and Joelle said, and I said.

Then he ran into the woods or jumped into the river, whatever choice the human-made for him he ran in another direction, and fought spiders again when it was too much he fainted and Scarlett was hovering over him. He said the woman in the bone mask was hovering over me.

Then he fought another spider and beat it up.

Can you tell us why he didn't want Riley to be there or for us to be there? It was afraid that Riley not Riley that Agnus would come and kill. It was afraid that Agnes would come and kill us. He told us so he told us don't you wanna go back to Luther about the Kronos? No, we want to be here with you. We said we need to be here with you but what if Miss kills you I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if he did Ash said we're stronger than you think. Noel said you don't need to worry we can handle Agnes.

We're really strong. I know that Ash said in this scenario, but there are no butts about it Ash we are staying.

Fine Ash said, but don't blame me if you get killed we will be fine. Noel and Joelle said we've had to deal with a lot worse. Wanted to know what it was, but we couldn't tell him right now. He didn't trust his brother enough to know our love and our secrets. And the struggles that Nikki goes that I went through that my sisters had to tell him that I went through.

And we were almost to the end. Luther told me to get to the end of the game and meet him there and I'm almost there, darling. I've met with your past self in this, not past self but you know a few months or whatever I've almost finished surviving, except for the breathing part.

He already saved me from that part of it. I don't have to worry. All I need to do now is get to the end of this game at the end of this and survive. We're almost there Luther we are almost there.

I'll be there soon. I gotta get through the scenarios and I'll be there.

I will be by your side soon enough.

We kept explaining to Ash that we could take care of ourselves against Ignace. We know what we're coming up against. We're not weak so he doesn't need to worry about us or his bodyguards for a reason he knows OK not in his head again. OK, I get it. He said I get it.

So we continue to walk when a house on fire catches

RI.

We need to investigate that I said you can see it too. We can see through illusions, so yes, we can see illusions ash. We're very powerful as not his head in agreement to me OK Nikki, Noel, and Joel. He says if I believe you, but now the house is on fire anymore. We got close to the house and he was right. The house was not on fire.

Anymore, but we got close to it anyway.

Then spiders crunched it. I guess it was an empty house. We deal with the Mommy spider once again.

This was getting crazy.

After we dealt with that, we went off and found another house. There was Scarlet. I said there's the woman in the bone mask what is he doing? What is she doing? We were wondering the same thing what was Scarlet up to What was she doing right now And why These were questions we had Just as much as Ash did.

She touched the man. I'm guessing that's her father. He stopped screaming and squirming. He was on fire not too long ago and now he wasn't on fire anymore. What? What just happened?

I do remember a theory that the fan said that Scarlet killed her father, but he looks very much alive. You don't look dead at all. The fans lied they died.

He didn't die at all. He's alive. He's alive.

Then she walks into the house and so does he.

We follow him inside the house. This must be their house. This must be Scarlet and Soul's home. We walk inside broken bottles everywhere. The guy must be a drunk. My sister is not in agreement. Yes, he must be drunk. I mean there are bottles everywhere. I forgot Allison was with us too, Ashli Ash left Allison alone with the team and told her to watch the team when he left in this scenario he didn't want Allison even less kill any of them.

I remember him asking Allison to watch Elise watch over Elise and Roger for us and she nodded OK.

She agreed to watch the team as we left, but anyway, now I'll bring my head back to the present and where we were at the moment Nikki stayed focused I heard my sister say yes, of course.

Anyway, there were broken bottles everywhere glass, the broken glass they told us to watch When we stepped a man was sitting in an armchair. He looked quite drunk. He had a bottle in his hand. It was broken actually at his feet, and he had a piece of paper in his hand he had no eyes was he blind? I think they were burned. My sister said I don't know if we can restore eyes.

But I don't think he's completely blind oh, OK then now what do we do? We need to figure out a plan. Oh yes, a plan Ash said to the three of us a plan of course.

I'm surprised you came here without a plan, Ash, even in the main part of the story when we played the game out, we're surprised you didn't have a plan. No, I didn't. Ash said admitting to the truth I came with no plan. I would find answers for AC's death hopefully to see him. That's what Agnes told me.

Now I don't know what to do next the human told me to take the paper from the man so I did and now I'm looking at it there's a woman with violet eyes in the picture and the man that's sitting here but fully in health and two young children looks like a young version of Agnes's, but I don't know who the girl is this Agnes family I don't think so. I mean part of them are I think my sister said but I don't think that the woman is part of their family. Oh, Ash, that's all Ash could say oh then he heard laughter coming from upstairs. Let's go check that out agreed, and we left the man with no eyes and went upstairs.

And we found a locked door. I checked every room in the house he said, but one of them is locked, including this one I tried kicking in and using spells on it he said, do you remember something from the poem? My sister asked and the person on the watch also asked, I'm not sure he says he remembers the poem.

But I think I need to find the key first I try opening it with a key. He went down to look for the key and we followed him. I'm gonna search the house for a key. He says that only the right spells right key would open this door, he says.

But as we got closer to the door not to the door, but to the man downstairs in the armchair first he ran out of the house and now he was back in the armchair again.

He was so blackout drunk well Ash tried to get him to wake up he woke up and saw him. He said, Violet eyes, violet ice, you die he said, as he choked Ash to death.

Then the human said we can hear it, but the human said turn back time.

Billy, we saw Ash wake up and he woke up backward where he died, but where he was before still at the door with us.

We witnessed the turn back time power again for Ash then he said I've been sitting at the store for a while now I tried kicking it and using spells on it, but it will not open. Only the right key would open it. I'm gonna go search the house for a key, whatever you do the human said don't go near the man in the armchair. That man is drunk. Remember you almost died from that man the human said oh you remember yes the human said the three of us also we witnessed it too no girls I didn't know you all witnessed it. I'm sorry he says I don't remember but I'm glad you all remember so, what should I do now?

Remember the poem we said and the human said the poem not until I was knocked knocked and knocked. Oh, I didn't know you were going that way and didn't see what you were doing going with this. He says as he knocks on the door once twice three times and the door opens.

This reminded me of the Bible verse that says knock and the door will be open to you. The door opened.

When we stepped inside we were creeped out about where we were first we saw some visions with Ash a man was holding a woman in his arms crying. She had smooth skin as a tub of red hair and stood up on his head on her head.

The man kissed her forehead then Ash recognized him, is Ignace a younger version of Ignace than what he saw with the acid spiders? He looked a little older than that, but not much.

He said look she's dying I don't know what to do. Ash reaches his hand to him and helps him we tell him no it's a trap but Ash does it any way he says Scarlett is dying. We can't do anything about it. Why don't you come and make up for your past mistakes and crimes ?

You should let Scarlet go and live in the past you were right he says I should Scarlet go, but if the world should not forget he says as he takes ashes, hands or face go pale. It was Ignant from now oh forget, but the world will not. He says they murdered Scarlett in his hometown Scarlett was murdered and it was the townspeople who killed her Ash said Scarlett died of a disease. No, she was indeed murder and this whole town was the Whispy. Brooke was changed from the name Ravenswood to Whispy Brooke to cover up that murder he says it was my dear Scarlet's wish for these people to be killed in honor of her death.

You know when you're next to me, I can't help my urges. I have my orders but when you were near me, I couldn't control myself. I'm gonna kill you right here and now Agnes said.

Reverse I want you to see something he said as he turned ashes head to see where there was smooth, pale skin. It was now soft and black. I was black and leather, like an animal after it was charred.

This was awful to watch who are you? Three Ignace asked no matter I will kill you three as well.

You know such a thing so Agness, the three of us said and why do you wanna kill Ash? I can't control it when I'm around either one of the siblings. I want to kill them. He says now I have the opportunity. I'll let you three watch and then I'll kill the three of you afterwards.

He also took the coin away from Ash and said mockingly. Ash said to give it back. It's mine no it's not. I gave it to you. You said grow strong one day become an age and grow strong one day and one day you could help others.

No way the man who said that to me said Ash was good and kind. Do you think I'm that way he says because I saved you from the spiders yeah don't make me laugh about that. He says as he says the pocket watch is on fire. Holding it, we watched and whore as the fire crypt around Ash and the watch.

Human well well we'll get to that later.

Meanwhile, back in the present day back at the main scenario, we were.
