While Max was having his visit with his Father and his Step mother Mary probably and logically the one time he would see them before they warped back to Sanjo's Icy plains and the earthship's warmth, Ken was alone out in the show in his snow gear. Why was he currently walking around in an ice age instead of shall we say staying by a fire under a blanket? Well simple Minmi had an idea that needed testing , Testing meant He who had dinosaur summon power had to go do the crap as Eoraptor can fight by itself as a one man pack. It was overpowered so heavy is the champion belt.
This meant our drag queen was currently shaking in his boots as the wind hit him and he jumped, he had leggings thermal ones under his skirt but the wind still triggered the reaction, "Oh fuck That felt weird!" he said jumping hands on the side holding a device while looking at the bracer and speaking, " Well I have been walking around for Ten minutes getting snow blown up my skirt, This thermal tights have a limit as all things too. Have I been in the Cold long enough to test your idea."
Minmi was home looking at the data and said, "yep Seth's time merge fucked up worm hole is still active." Ken blinked and spoke up and said, "I am sorry Aunt and step mother of cute boys Say what now?" he was shocked eyes blinking, " did you just say I am Freezing my buns off right now because Seth broke time?" He asked confused holding head, "Lady I am going to need you to explain that like you are talking to a five year old" he then shock hands to try and get feeling back in his fingers, " because You just can't come out and say yes it's cold because time is still broken."
The woman at home spoke it out, "Well it's more of it's a side effect of time paching itself." Ken blinked, "Saving the techno babble, The energy time runs on was drained and now space time is fixing itself by converting heat energy into time energy. Hence the drain of heat and drop in temperature. Heat energy is being changed to plug the big fat hole Seth made with his bootleg overpowered stones. In theory Seth could have merged all time together into a horror land, similar to this novel series I was reading about a 2000s town getting transported to the Thirty year war."
Ken spoke up walking and adding, " oh my God, I love that series I can't believe it's TV show didn't happen and now it never will... So many up time girls falling for down time boys, and vs versa." He giggled saying, " we will have book club later. Anyway how do you know it's just our time? isn't their like many ice ages? What if all the ice ages are made by this turn the heat into new stuff to stitch it back together event?" Minmi nodded on her end saying, "That is possible, that all ice ages and there by human history is all thanks to Seth. After all the ice age is what weeded out the other human races leaving just us behind. All we have in the history books is owed to Seth the good , the bad, the pretty the Ugly and the fucked."
Ken was heading back as he said this, " well My buns are heading back to the earth ship to reheat." He said saying, "I swear to God This is bad, I can't wait to get warm and...Oh Minmi do you have any wilds in the area?" he said finding and Elephant print and taking picture of it. Minmi looked at the picture and did a scan, "Negative...Well the idea some things may not have vanished is...possible... Or maybe our Aliens prehistoric creatures got lose before becoming cards... You are closer to us then the Market it's safer to just return to the earth ship and worry about this later."
Elsewhere in the traders market the people who depending on it to survive noticed a new group acting like they never seen Machines using primitive survival tools and clothing. With all the crazy the ice age brought people just assumed this people went crazy and all think they are cave men. No one judged them as they understood the things here were for trade when told, they understood trade.
One such primitive man walked into a trade station that had fabric around it to keep snow out. All items behind a counter with the man standing with a weapon made by sharpening a metal pole. He shouldered the spear and looked at him, "Oh the primitive tribe... heard about you from a buddy." the guy behind the counter, " Welcome to my metal work station. " he put a metal ball down for the guy to hold. "This is metal, you melt the rock and reshape it...This makes it stronger." the metal was a weaker one easier to work with. " I have a massive cave were fire is always going on. I use that to metal and shape thim." the guy held his hands, " It's painful work but it let's me trade for food to survive as I am not a hunter for the life of me."
The primitive man held the ball, he got it, his son had done the same thing to show arrow head for arrow. The primitive put it down, "Metal heavy for size...Rock most be stronger when melted and unmelted." The cave man knew boiling an egg made it harder so he figured the same thing. The metal worker was handed the ball back. "yes... " he rolled his eyes even his broken talk spelled out lost their mind. the man pulled out a simple knife in a sheave. The Cave man looked at the knife one edge hodd to him but he never seen more perfect edge. Granted form what this man said it was made by shaping like clay. The cave man or well primitive us looked at it, " Edge Too perfect!"
the man behind the counter held it, " why thank you I take pride in my work!" the knife had a dear horn handle as he said one thing, " This knives with their perfect edge are my greatest creation more so then my metal point spear." he said showing it. The Cave man blinked reaching into bag. the primitive man said this, "Me No need something that perfect...me need new spear...Spear old one broke when we arrive in strange new place of magic... don't have time to make new one!" he pointed to his spear. "Trade for spear." he form bag put down fur blanket, "Blanket...you make spears not blanket... Blanket worth many things when cold.."
The trader looked at the blanket primitive stitching made form animal hide, And the volcanic cave was warm but this blanket was made great and could easily be traded for food. The metal worker handed over the spear to the primitive. "You have yourself a deal sir." the cave man nodded as he left with the metal point spear Just a spike but it was worth a lot with how strong it was.
Elsewhere in the station Another trader working out of his car was rolling his eyes as another next to time was talking about the " Mammoth " he saw. The Trader in the car said this, " We all have seen weird things." he looked to Sanjo's steam raising, " However if you want me to believe you killed a Mammoth with one of your bows show me a trophy." The guy next door smirked and opened his truck's trunk to show a tusk pointing to it shocking the other trader.
The lady selling bows and arrows said this, " And it didn't turn into one of those cards either which is weird. ... it was just a mammoth outside the cave my family moved into After the world ended and protected... It was trying to come in. I don't know why it eats plants...It was just at the entrance scaring my babies. I grabbed the bow and I hit it between the eyes, My husband was a butcher so he cut it up and is making it into jerky I already handed the fur to the blanket lady trading for blankets. I also handed a tusk to the knife maker trading it for some things... This tusk is the last of the bastard showing how good my bows and arrows are." She spoke up smiling as she said this, " Remember as much as I would have loved to keep that food train to myself, I don't have blanket making skills, or tool making skills out of my bows and arrows with my arrows are just wooden spikes no heads... I am a mom and my rope making skills let me make my bows. This made me the one bring home food instead of my husband." She sighed, "Who knew knowing how to braid would make me more important than the butcher who used to own his own butchery factory."
That's when one of our ancient time travelers came up and The woman turned to the costumer and she smiled, "Oh sorry got distracted. I am Betty and this is my bow shop. I trade bows and arrows no heads just spikes as I don't know anyone who knows how to make heads, but I have the tusk proving they are good enough for hunting mammoth. " She noticed the costumer was this primal tribe and a kid Ten. She looked at him, "Oh you are younger than my son Little man." She held elbows on table sighing, knowing full well in this world this kid wasn't a kid anymore much like her kids weren't kids. " My son learned how to use one of my smaller ones." She said handing him a small bow, with some Arrows, " Like I said I am a mother and you are younger than my son...and I see you have no defense on you... So despite me hating myself for this, Go on take it learn how to shoot and defend yourself and help your family... you need it."
The in his truck repair guy blinked as the boy bowed and left, " Really that's food out of your babies mouth you realize that." The woman looked at him, "hay humanity doesn't end with civilization. We survived the cold before we will survive again and rebuild and I would rather the people who rebuild have kind hearts, much kinder then Sanjo who have gotten so Xenophobic basically they don't let you in unless you where an elite job holder and once you leave no going back! " She growled, "they turned me and my family away and forced us into that cave." She growled saying, "It let in more people with Caesar running it. The Gulli have closed boarder... so many people like my family head their for power and warmth just to have our hopes dashed and our journey made pointless. My brother died on our trip here for nothing." She growled at this, " So Sorry if I wanted to do a good deed so his family despite having gone nuts are kind whackos who will help others in turn so we can fucking survive as a group."
The repair man shivered and said this, "Well it's your future death in the family when you run out of your Fluffy elephant jerkey." he said watching the tribe trade for things they knew like food blankets and tools. They then headed out of the market making a note of the traders gather to trade goods to survive. Little did they know they were heading the way of the Earth ship where Ken was heading.
