Chapter 3

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

OK, welcome to chapter 3 the third chapter in my opposite still a track switcheroo story. The story is coming along nicely and we're only a couple of chapters or three chapters away before the end of part one I remember I said there are five chapters per part to match the game capacity of five chapters per game that this is working out.

It's the best way of fitting more parts per story and it doesn't get overcrowded.

Just like my other opposites, I have no idea how many parts the story will be whether the climax of the story will be the final chapter or the final part in the epilogue. There were nowhere near that right now we're just getting started.

So let us begin this great chapter.

So what happened last time?

Well, the watch was complete. Now they have to complete their shelter. Luther has completed the watch and successfully has put their magic inside and capability to communicate with one another between him. Scarlet and Nash. He built an hour-in wall around their whole little section of their town they are a small region not all now he has to do is build their little shelter. His next few chapters will be talking about this one and the next two will be talking about the rebuild of their beautiful home, but building another beautiful home why he didn't build this when they were young I don't know but he's working on it now usually a bill like this would take several years, but he's going to crunch it in a couple of months.

Can you do it or find out and what are the villains up to? We'll find that out too soon enough.

And what can the villains do to delay our hero's plans? We'll find out will the heroes be able to get a hold of Ezra or will the villains get a hold of Alvin. We'll have to find out and you'll have to find out.

So let us begin chapter 3 now.

The villains decided to make contact as they sat in their little meeting room in Boulder. We need to do something about those stupid heroes. They said when we can't do anything with them being inside that protection of their little home evil and Elise said, sitting between her two husbands, we can't lower them out either. We went by there recently and they have a big I really in the wall protecting them now that whole section is marked off with an not really in the wall there's no way we can get in now or even get close to another smaller vision of the wall.

Besides they'll get killed by those stupid meteors when the meteors unfreeze they'll land on them it'll kill them all so we don't need to worry about them, but we need to worry about now was working on getting a signal to the strong Valencia's first human Alvin, what do you have for us Alvin? Well, I figured out how to use the wash to connect to him and now we're ready to have a communicational conversation with him excellent and said good good we can do this now. Please open the connection airwaves for us away my queen he says.

Good Annalise said sing between her two husbands our wives they said we will have everything our queen yes and we will invade strong Valencia and bring them to their knees. They don't know what's hitting them sooner or later they will not know what's going to hit them.

No, they won't evil Ezra said he was sitting amongst the villains. We've already conquered most of this place and they're too gullible so half of them will die anyway there are not enough villains to come with us so they'll die as well. Only we will go and we will invade, and we will kill and conquer those who are not compelled to our ways we all enslave or kill sounds great. We like that idea.

The wash will be ready. The watch is ready. We already had a watch. All we do now is just make a signal. We can make a signal from here. We don't need to communicate on Mount Ara. We just need to make a portal. They're good so open the airwaves please Alvin right away. Ezra Alvin said as he opened an airwave and a connection was made to strong Alencia to monitor the sky where Alvin lived.

in the monitor of the sky

Alvin

Sir, there's an error. There is a connection trying to reach our world let it through Alvin said as he looked at one of his maids or one of his servants. What is it now? Is it my cousin no it's not her. It's something else an enemy I don't take kindly to enemies, even though I'm a villain myself. I don't want anyone invading this land. This is Ezra's land, even though I'm a villain doesn't mean I don't want invasion invaders that didn't take kindly to Lucy last time and that was fine with her death. She might come back from the dead, but that's OK but I don't want any more invaders. Do you want to block or communicate, sir go ahead and put them through Alvin said.

Just put them through please yes sir, hello a voice said, coming over the other side a cold even colder than even Alvin's voice came across even Alvin felt the coldness from there who are you? Alvin asked I am. I am evil as revolter he said we're not evil, but I guess you can say I am and I would like to have a partnership with you Alvin time pressed what isn't it for me he asked you can become the first human of your land again are you sure about this? He asked.

Oh yes, I am very sure and very, very well known that you would become the first human once again if you take our author, you better not trick me Alvin said I may be evil on a trickster in my world, but I am not gonna take too kindly if you're coming in and invading my land well Ezra's land I should say, even though I am retired. I don't know if I will do this and two for humans in our world that's why I'm also retired.

Retired evil Ezra said, what do you mean I told my opposite my cousin I told my cousin Alex that I will retire for being the first human and guardian of this land. I only take residence over the dead and some of the time parts of the world, but I don't do anything that I used to do anymore. I've been given manipulative ways for the time being to please her. I'm afraid of my opposite my cousin she is scary if you don't get her way and angry if you anger her, we can seduce her for you that ain't gonna be easy besides, I don't wanna anger her and I wanna stay on her good side as most as possible. It's been good these last two years and I'm not gonna ruin it for her.

So I will not permit you to enter this land and if you enter without permission, it won't be me you'll be dealing with. You'll be dealing with Evelyn Ezra and Alex too and if I need to, I will defend them, but you are a villain, yes but I am retired. Alvin said I am retired right now and I'll probably stay retired for the rest of my life. I know when I was defeated, and I am not going to move any further. I promised her I promised Alex that I would not invade or do anything to harm their peace.

I've done so much to my cousin that I'm not going to do anymore to her right now or ever.

I thought you were evil. Ezra said I am Alvin said, but I have my limits. I have my limits so no you will not enter and like I said if you do, you'll be trespassing and there will be no partnership between us and you evil Laura if I was gonna have a partner, it would've been my friend and he's no longer my friend anymore This is the last thing I did for him and I'm not doing anything for you.

The other reason I'm not helping you is because you're not a good man like Ezra you're an evil bad man and I don't wanna work with you. I can feel your evil and coldness from here. You're more evil than I which I respect, but I'm not gonna enter a partnership with you to destroy my land I will have to battle against you and my opposite of your world. That's my opposite. I will help Alex defeat your opposite of our opposite if need be.

If you invade, this will mean war for us you're so weak evil. Ezra said I'm not weak. Alvin said I'm just afraid of Alex. She's stronger than I am anyway besides, I can't communicate with her. I am blocked from the pocket watch unless I communicate with them in some way through Ezra to tell them unless I go there and tell them that you contacted me and warn them, you won't I will Alvin said this is my land partly and I wanna keep my peace so leave us alone or know what's good for you.

So you wanna be a hero huh? I thought you were a villain. I am a villain, but I am not going to let invaders into this land who don't belong here. The only reason I was fine with Alex and her crew was because they weren't invading and they were my enemies, but I don't even know where you came from. I don't even think you were made in the same lab as Alex and I I don't even think you're our cousin. You probably just popped up some random didn't you not you but my opposite opposite I want to speak to him please fine evil Ezra said, calling for her calling for his friend to enter.

Evil Alvin came onto the line communicating. Oh you you're my opposite Alvin asked yes I am you. He said we're the same evil conceited. We can work together only one first human at a time in this land well too I should say now because Alex Alvin said now what do you want rude are we come on man? We're the same yeah we are but you don't have you are not like me either are you were you made in a lab like me?

No, I just appeared with magic evil. Alvin said it was more evil than our Alvin and strong Valencia Alvin was saying. I just appeared when evil Ezra needed me. I'm not lab-made like you. I'm less human than you even though we are opposites of each other but yet we're alike aren't We know you're just more evil than I then we can work well together no I will not work with you. He said, shaking his head.

So you can leave us alone now fine you can leave us alone fine we will leave you alone and not bother you anymore, but we still gonna invade even if you like it or not and we will commit chaos. No yes, we will.

I will bring your cousin to her knees. We will hurt her. You will oh yeah, we will hurt her very much since you aren't going to be cooperative and work with us we will bring your cousin to your niece you care about her don't you not really but I still don't want to hurt she's not my cousin, but she's my cousin if that makes sense No, it doesn't but we'll still bring her down Down, will she fall and we can invade and become the next Valencia to invade your lands.

You think your armies can be strong enough to defeat us oh yeah, we have a strong ball Dorian army. The other Alvin said no the first humans of Valencia were strong. Valencia said no Queen Jane and her troops are a lot stronger. Oh yeah, we'll defeat them will kill them all you won't and we will.

And you will not warn them either I will kill you.

Fine, I won't tell but they'll get warned eventually by someone else I bet yeah I hope not.

The communication was closed. Alvin just sat there. I don't know what to do next well sir will help you figure that out on your own. I need to think. Alvin said as he sat there and thought about what the evil people from the other Alencia said Valencia they called themselves well they're not invading us. I will block their path if need be if they're not getting in.

Close the gates and make sure a portal doesn't open if it does we will take care of that yes sir.

Meanwhile

back at Valencia

with the villains

So did we get in OK? Annalise asked no Alvin's side the first human would not let us in without a fight. I thought it was a villain he is but he said he's retired. Ezra said so we'll have to invade our own and we have to invade without their consent. I'm not afraid of them. We're not either let's get ready for our invasion and the chaos in our plans. I have one evil Alvin, even more evil. Alvin suggested what's that Ezra asked. I heard that the cousin of the first human cousin is now the new first human and guardian of Valencia. Is married I was thinking that Ezra should kill him and I can make moves on the first human if I can make moves on her and take her when she's distraught and sad. I can bring her down as vulnerable as she is.

Sounds good, but how are we gonna do it like I said, as Alvin looked at his friend I will do it as I said I will kill. I will kill her or him. I will not kill the girl, but I'll kill the guy. I will kill him.

Violet left so you're gonna have an affair or try to yes dear he says and it'll be fun. Don't worry. I'm just gonna make moves on her so that it will make her less sad. Do you think she'll fall for it? Doubtful but I'll try to, but if I can bring her down to her knees, then I can defeat her by putting her in a false security with her husband being dead With him gone that'll make it easier.

Sounds like a plan. Don't worry we'll execute it as soon as we get there there are other plans. I'm going to do to like release their villains from jail and all that kind of thing.

Good, we like that idea as well sounds good.

Look out strong Valencia because here we come.

meanwhile, back with our heroes

in Ravenswood

back to Luther

Finally, I thought to myself the watch was working now it was humming to life. It was working perfectly. I was able to communicate with my sibling and Scarlet now for the big jump. I need to figure out how to use it to communicate with the other Valencia also we need to finish building this beautiful building. I took a break so I could try to get a signal with this thing. I need a signal to the world of strong Alencia I need to get a hold of them soon.

I concentrated on my magic and finally magic happened I couldn't see their face. It worked like the pocket watch, but I could see their glitz and that was all that was important. Maybe someone can warn them of their world that would be good, wouldn't it?

Someone to tell them that their piece is about to be interrupted all right I concentrated alone for a moment. It had to be me just me Ash couldn't do this even though I trusted Ash I wouldn't want him to do this for me or Scarlet. I needed to communicate with my opposite self Master Kronos as he's called if I can get a hold of him then I can I don't know. Maybe he can warn the others.

I concentrated I figured out my magic through the watch and my connection. He is the born the Bourne Pinecrest like me well my sibling was more than I was, but I can do this. I did have Ash's help though since Ash was the born Timecrest.

Then finally I got a connection hello an older man's voice came through. He did sound older than I am. I was only 16 I said back, not trying to sound as nervous as I could. I couldn't hear his voice completely, but I could see the glitz on the screen of the watch as it transmitted to me, wow I can't believe I got a connection Who is this? The glyphs read I could hear him in my head too. I am Luther Pinecrest a week Valencia I said I am your opposite. I explained another opposite Alencia he asked yes you sound young. I am young. I said how old are you? He asked I am 16 I said I am the same age as your sibling was two years ago and were two years behind you wow that is amazing that you are two years behind our timeline he said why are you reaching out to me? He asked through the pocket watch and pocket watch connection. I've come to call to warn you that evil villains of our land are coming for you. They're coming to destroy your happiness and we are coming to help you stop them and if we can't, we're coming to seek refuge if your first major would allow and the first human would allow us to enter we don't have to talk to them. Luther said, but we'll see what we can do.

I can tell there's a difference between us already. Yes, I am younger than you figures as much but you're just as smart. Yes, if you were my opposite, wouldn't you be dumb not really I'm just as smart as you. Well, that's good to know at least.

But like I said, evil versions of more evil versions of the people who are opposite of your land are coming well then he said we will prepare and I will tell Ezra and Alex and Evelyn. I will tell them that's a good idea. I said if you tell them then maybe they'll bring into action to help though also, I will tell Queen Jane as well she will. She will put emergency protocols in place, Queen Jane. Yes, she is the new queen of Boulder, the new Val Dorian empire oh yeah I forgot you all got a new empire, yes, and Queen is the best. She's kind to everyone.

Sounds great thank you you're welcome and thank you for reaching out to us. We will meet soon. Yes, I will figure out how to get my friends and family to you and you can help with our new land land. Yes, we have a new region that might become a new town of yours it's Ravenswood, but you can help us come up with a new name. Sounds good to me and us as well. Will help you out as much as we can. Luther said as I disconnected, I smiled, knowing that I reached the hero of Valencia he will help he will help I knew he would and I knew he was real.

No, hopefully, they will warn. Hopefully, they will warn him. They will warrant he will warn them now all we have to do now is concentrate on getting our building built. That'll be good indeed.

I feel like we don't have much time left. We need to hurry and get this place built properly.

In strong Valencia Valencia

on ion

Luther caught his group together now I got a message from another Valencia another one at distressed signal. Luther explained to his family and friends. Ashli looked concerned. Ash did too. What does this mean? I don't know. I can go tell grandmother I can ask her. Ashli suggested sounds good you should do that. Ashli OK Ash and I will go.

He smiled, knowing that everyone had everything under control. OK, you go you go and warn your grandmother and I will go warn the queen Luther said as he left and they departed and separated and split up for a while.

He remembered what Lucy said other Valencia's exist worse than ours be aware more dangers will be coming your way. Is she warning us about this ahead of time two years ago I killed her. He said now I feel like I'm getting a warning. What's worse than Lucy?

I don't know, but it feels like something.

And a younger version of myself, I need to look into this he thought to himself well I'll look into it later. I need to go take care of my task and warn Queen Jane. He left and went to Boulder and visited with the queen Luther she said as he walked in I'm sorry to disturb you Your Majesty you're not a disturbance Luther the the hero of Valencia is always welcome in the Queen's Court. You are also still a member of the masters council so you're always welcome smiling and shaking his hand.

Thank you and you're welcome thank you your Majesty you're welcome hero she said teasing each other. It always made him laugh when she did that unlike Janice Queen Jane was always in good spirits.

No this is what I came to tell you and warn you about another Alencia is coming. They have warned me a younger version of myself has warned us. They're coming too. We need to open our arms to them. Truly, Ezra will do that anyway. Also, the villains are coming as well an evil version of Ezra, an even more evil version of Alvin, and evil versions of those of our group as well queen Jane shivered that all sound good at all she said no it doesn't does it your majesty know it doesn't.

Is there a sign of their arrival Queen Jane asked he didn't give me a complete sign. I guess we'll get more signs later on. Ashli is more the profit out of our group. She'll probably know the signs more than any of us. She didn't know the signs of our arrival and Lucy's arrival of her crew two years ago the queen said so it's only fair. The only other person who would know that future would be well, Evan oh yes, we'll need to see him as well. He'll probably know the coming of this group of people. Yes, he will.

Then let us go speak to Evan and ask what they did. Evan was sitting in his favorite spot in the castle and the new beautiful palace that was built. It resembled their old palace from the other Valencia, but prettier than 00 great heroes of Valencia I didn't expect your arrival. Evan said coming and shaking his hand. No, I guess you didn't see it coming, but we want to see your visions. Do you have any prophecies for us? Oh yes, Evan said yes yes of course I have great and powerful prophecies coming he said.

Another Valencia is on their way a set of heroes and a set of villains, villains stronger than our villains were stronger than your villains. Master Kronos Luther shivered. What do you mean by that well Evan said the heroes are led by an evil version of Ezra, who has artichoke eyes and dull brown hair, And an evil human first human that looks like our great and powerful first human, Alex, and Alvin as well in the group is an evil version of me and Elise named Queen and Elise, along with her two King Kong swords, and an evil version another evil version of the Val Dorian empire Again Luther shivered. These people are strong. Evan continued. They will bring terror and chaos, and they will commit an evil act.

They will commit some great active murder and free our villains from prison.

That doesn't sound good at all. No, they'll even try to invade this kingdom of Valencia and this kingdom of Valder to try and conquer us, but I will not say that we will win or lose not yet. I don't see that yet.

Anything to mark their arrival like I did for Lucy no maybe yes red really bricks falling from the sky so I went from black rocks to red ones pretty much Evan said Does it say who who they will murder? No, I don't see a clear vision of that yet Evan said, but eventually, I will know sooner or later.

Now for the good vision, Evan said a beautiful city or town or village or whatever will come through our sky. Next, the town will be surrounded by an Aurelian wall of pure, beautiful brilliance. The walls will be as blue as pure as I am as wide as the walls of ion he said.

A brilliant bright light will mark their coming. I am sure they will land where Lyle used to stand.

They will be peaceful and kind, nice and gentle, loving and warm. They will help us defeat our new villains among them as their leader as a child a child of 16.

They will be strong and helpful to us.

Also, I have one more vision and Luther asked someone who will be coming back from the dead as well. Someone who has recently died. That is all.

Luther left with a lot on his mind thinking about everything that Evan said as he left the kingdom and waved goodbye to Queen Jane, Prince Robert Princess Jacqueline, who will soon be queen, and Princess Riley don't be a stranger. Riley said I won't Riley. She smiled as she as they left. I wonder what all that was about I don't know what Robert said, but something that he has to think about is interesting.

With Ashli and Ash

at the gardens

by the sea

on the coast

Ashli

We arrived at the gardens Ash and I walked in. We are always welcome. Grandmother was always welcoming and so was Evelyn and everyone inside the only people who live there now are grandmother grandfather Evelyn and Uncle Ezra he wanted me to call him that now that they were married I had a bigger family than I had before and I was close to them now Ashli it's good to see you. It's good to be here. I said how old are you now 18 I said Ash and I am 18 good you are growing Grandmother said what brings you here we've come to warn you grandmother about a great evil is coming. I said oh dear, a great evil, huh? What is this about? Ezra asked.

Another Valencia is making their arrival here heroes and villains. I said the heroes we shall welcome but the villains we shall defeat.

Another opposite Valencia I said I don't know much about them, but it'll be interesting. Thanks for warning us about the villains that'll be coming. Grandmother said we stay for dinner of course Ashton will be glad to stay for dinner Grandmother I said Ash nodded. Yeah it'll be our pleasure to stay good you can tell us more over dinner yes And other news and we don't have any other news right now. I said if we tell you, we won't tell you for a while yet fair enough Grandmother said don't forget to visit your mother and father and the other Helena and Julius they live in Boulder now right we will visit them as soon as we can Good.

Where did you get the information though we wanna know Luther told us he got a message from a younger version of himself a younger version of Luther's interesting grandmother said well we'll find out more about them when they come now let us eat and have a good time.

And not the news of evil get us down and that's what we did we ate and had a great time.

We talked about the guild what we accomplished and where we were in our levels I told the grandmother that I was now silver level and Ash was close to gold level. Now that is good grandmother said, isn't it, dear grandfather nodded my aunt and Uncle, not along well with them. That is good. You all are coming along nicely Ezra said, and you come a long way he said looking at Ash Ash just nodded. He didn't know what to say to Ezra. Well I did help save the world yes that too but I mean in the guild in your training I also see my brother one day Ash said and I will do just as good as him we know you will. Evelyn said we know you'll do well on the council too.

If they want me who wouldn't want you, dear I said teasing him. You're a hero just like your brother smiled. OK if you say so Ashli, he said laughing.

That's the spirit we need to have around here right now Grandmother said, lighting the mood.

After we ate, we went home and we told Luther that we told Grandmother and Grandfather and Evelyn and Ezra everything we knew and he told us everything. He knew that he gathered from Evan that day Evan gave a cousin a vision a prophecy. Yes, someone we know will come back from the dead as well. Who's died recently? I wonder who that would be first Riley who else will come back from the dead? I don't know. Luther said, but we'll figure it out. He said to us now go to bed and get some rest. We will as we disappear to our room.

We want past Scarlet, who was in the baby's room two years ago they gave birth to children after the war two lovely kids, beautiful twins we waved at her as we walked by her. She sensed us and hugged us. Were you all off to bed good idea we're putting that I'm putting down the kids right now then I'll meet with my husband in the bed. We laughed and we disappeared.

After the reset Scarlett's body went back to normal too. She now has her beautiful red hair and beautiful face once again.

After crawling under the covers, we went to sleep cuddling for the night. I laid my head on his shoulder as he closed his violet eyes, and I closed mine as we put our watches on the new chargers. It was great waiting for the next chapter of our lives to begin a new Valencia is arriving. What do they like and who are they?

And what did he and what did Luther mean when he said did he mean when he said someone we know and someone who's died recently will come back from the dead? I guess we'll have to find that out eventually too.

Ending here,

In this chapter. I think this is a very successful chapter 3 a lot going on and we finally bring in stuff from the pot from not positive Valencia but strong now ending with Ashli returning to our girl Ashli and our main heroes from the other Valencia were what we needed in this chapter. Don't worry there'll be more happening from week Valencia as well and strong Valencia now that the two storylines have been intertwining what's gonna happen next? You'll have to find out in chapter 4. I'll see you then.

The next step will be Chapter 4

next chapter chapter 4
