"Pst, over here.
Yeah you. Kid, over here.
I see you seek the answer to a question."
"You have the answer?"
"Let's just say I know a magic ball that does. I am from the Mirror, and I can transport you to any time of your choosing in the future."
"What about the past?"
"Huh?
"Seeing the stickers on your fridge and the half eaten cake, could you....go back in time when you had the full cake?"
"You little!!!
There is more to this then...….and you're gone.
Can't win them all."
"........Darius, who was that?"
"And why'd you mock him on his fridge?"
"I don't know, and who I don't know, I don't trust."
"You have to trust someone, eventually."
"......Eventually."
"Darius, where are you going? You can....."
"And just like that there were only three."
"What are you snarking at, Jacklyn?"
"Eveyln, I think we have a mission to embark on. You go try to calm Ruby down, I will do the same for Darius?"
"Why do I have to get Evelyn? No powers, remember. She's wanted, dangerous, the President hates her, and THE 26 hates us. Why don't you go in to find her?"
"Cause I...….I....well….."
"That's what I thought."
"Now where are you going, Evelyn."
"Don't call me that. Ruby seems to know all of us more than we know ourselves. Darius has made it obvious. I will help a friend,but not a stranger. If you want to find me...…then......…..come find me."
"Evelyn...…Darius...…..Evelyn...…..I...
...…Jacklyn, I am confused.
Jacklyn?
Earth to Jacklyn, can you…"
"Sorry. I was thinking."
"Of what?"
"On ways how we can get the band back together or if we will have to revert to plan B."
"What's Plan B?"
"Hopefully something we will never find out."
"...........................They didn't work, Frost."
"What do you mean they didn't work? They are our hearts."
"I put the Elemental stones into the Machine to see if they would draw power.but it seems...look.
They have lost their fire."
".........How's the Experiment going?"
"It's off to a rocky start, but I am hopeful."
"Good, because once they regain faith in themselves and learn true trust…..the magic of the Crystals will come back to life....
*Ahuuuu….ahuuu*
and.... we... can plug them into the machine.
Hurry."
"You just rest now, Frost. No need to overexert yourself."
".........Timekeeper, I promise you, this experiment will work. Have faith, don't give up. There are no other options."
"..........................That's what I am worried about. There are always other options.
.........*CLENCH*"
