Free falling

The vehicle floated in the vast darkness of space or maybe it was the abyss I wasn't sure of that. But the space was devoid of stars, moons and planets.

Inside the vehicle there was a team of four people and the two of us. The vehicles inside looked like the insides of a space shuttle or something like the insides of the international space station. The hatch behind me was tightly shut and it was even pressurized to keep it from flying away. The vehicle itself coated with many resistant materials which were anti friction as well as it was built with adamantium to withstand the intense process of time traveling.

If I had to guess it wasn't really time traveling. But at this point I'm not raising any questions. Maybe I should.

Jay :

May I inquire about something.

Researcher :

Indeed.

Jay :

Who are you people.

Researcher :

Ah that's right, he hasn't the slightest clue. As you can see we're researchers from the immortal foundation or your mortal enemies. And we've come here to take you back to the present as per orders.

Jay :

Mortal enemies?

Researcher :

Don't you think the immortals are your enemies.

Jay :

I don't think so.

Immortal foundation ah yes! The ones who had us imprisoned and wiped out our memories of them. And the witch of extinction was also involved with them.

Well no one likes to commit slaughter so they must have a good reason to do so.

And they also rescued us from being cursed within the palms of that God.

Researcher :

This is weird, you've been listed as a very high priority target. And that's reserved for very special ones.

McElroy :

But what does the foundation wants with us.

Researcher :

That's classified information. I thought you could tell me.

An awkward atmosphere was formed.

Another researcher approached. Brimming with curiosity.

She had dyed her hair blue and wore contact lenses that enabled her to use AR technology.

Researcher :

I read that you got sucked inside the rift. So how did you survive and how was the rift.

Researcher 1 :

Slow down let them register that first.

McElroy :

I don't know when I opened my eyes I was already in the past.

Jay :

Hie did you know we were in the past.

Researcher :

That's the part that is most confusing.

There was a space time distortion in the past. But somehow instead of tearing apart space time or causing a butterfly effect. The structure of the space time instead became more stable. Like everything was normal.

This part is the most confusing.

Researcher 4 :

I think, we have landed on something. Maybe he was supposed to go back in time. Something like fate or destiny.

Jay :

Destiny.

So that's how he adjusted the flow of the story.

And if I count now it's the third time I've experienced time travel. First was Raizon of the part. Second was the desert city and third was this one.

The divine era.

I actually feel terrible for destroying their bones and homes but it wasn't my choice. I thought I was supposed to save people not ruin them.

Wait I am forgetting something something.

Jay :

Oh my god where is Era.

McElroy :

She asked me to hand this to you.

McElroy handed over a letter to Jay. And Jay opened this letter.

There was a note inside. It read the following.

I know that you have opened the note and are now reading this letter. It's been a both a very long and short time traveling with you both. Now that I have guided you my own quest as a guide ends here.

I have witnessed you achieve a lot of growth during this time.

Jay : Like a shounen character.

The next line Jay will say is like a shounen character. And he is correct.

I know that you know that these men are from the foundation and they will not harm you. And fill up their curiosity as much as you can.

The path ahead is once again very harsh that will begin without rest.

Now let me answer your final three questions which you would have asked. If I were still around

Question 1 : Forbidden.

Question 2 :

Now that I'm done I just have to wait.

Question 3 :

Oh god how can you not understand the word forbidden.

Bonus :

Well be meeting once again. Soon at the end.

McElroy :

Jay what did you ask her.

Jay :

I dd want to annoy her a little bit so I might have just asked her the same question twice.

And the entire trip which was around three to three and half hours long we were asked a ton of questions just as Era already knew.

But man I think if Era was a character it would be a very different pain just to write her. Actually even Era would know that a writer is writing her. Maybe even if he wrote she would know what he would do.

Meanwhile the writer would have to find ways around her ability.

I mean I am not a writer. But this is my opinion.

Researcher 2:

Buckle up this ride is malfunctioning.

Wait did he speak that so comfortable for. And we are crashing.

This has become normal. Come on X try harder if you think this will ruin my life.

I buckled myself up and there was an explosion in the engine itself.

Researcher 1 :

Shit our back throttle engines are out now we won't be able to slow down.

Researcher 2 :

Were going to die.

Researcher 3 :

Were entering the atmosphere. Everyone brave yourself.

The ship finally entered the present. And due to friction it started burning as the material had been evaporated.

The ship started spinning.

Researcher 1 :

Find somewhere safe to land.

Researcher 2 :

We can't the controls have failed.

Jay :

Hay McElroy can you do something about it.

McElroy :

Hey Jay why are you so calm right now.

McElroy was freaking out but seeing Jay calm he freaked out even more as he thought that he had accepted death.

Jay :

Don't worry we'd survive the crash.

McElroy :

What about them. They won't.

McElroy :

Come on any plan a stupid one is also good.

Jay calmly unbuckled his seat and opened the hatch and jumped. He boosted himself with all of the strength he could muster from his feet to slow down the vehicle as much as he can. This was the bright idea he had.

He could have just grabbed everyone and jumped probably would have been much more easier. But he had to try and become superman.

And while slowing down the entire vehicle he also felt it.

He was feeling the intense heat that had developed even though his resistance to heat itself.

But there was no thought that would validate his decision.

They were 1000 meters before touching the ground with due to the heavy weight of adamantium and increased density with added effect of gravity. And also add the weight of all the passangers on board.

McElroy could also try but he would be severely be affected by the heat. Though he can neutralize with his ice maybe he could encase the ship in a body of water but it won't help.

Encasing it in ice might collapse itself from within.

McElroy who was Inside the vehicle heard a noise.

There was a radio on which the researchers were talking.

Radio :

Fn-2817 what is your situation.

Researcher :

Our engines have failed. And the resistant layer has also failed. We are falling from several feet into the air. And there is no site except hard solid ground for crash landing.

Radio :

Is the target on board with you now.

Researcher :

What does he have to do right now. We are going to die we need support.

Radio :

Is there any way that you can steer the ship.

Researcher :

Steering is impossible.

Radio :

Listen to the instructions very carefully.

You're going to abandon the ship. Below the seats we've installed parachutes.

After landing the nearest base will be couple hours south.

Researcher :

We can't leave the ship has research material which cannot be abandoned. Genetic materials, extinct species, DNA of

Extinct animals. Are all on board the vessel.

Radio :

Even with Jay's entire strength the vessel still was plumetting the lands like an asteroid.

Radio :

Follow proced.

The radio was cut off mid flight.

Jay trying his best was going to soon run out of mana by the rate he expended mana and the output of propulsion was decreasing bit by bit slowly and steadily.

Researcher :

What are we going to do now.

Researcher 4 :

Yoi heard him abandon ship. There's nothing we can do now.

All our hard work will be gone in seconds.

McElroy who was scared saw their faces and he too jumped out from the door.

Jay :

This is bad we still have several feet to go if I stop now. I'll be done for.

What if I use mana outside the body to create explosion and repel the vessel.

No it can cause structural damage.

What if I use iron sand to soften up the landing. I'm too far away from the ground.

That's when he saw a falling McElroy he propelled himself in the opposite direction towards the ground. And reached there.

McElroy :

I don't know if this will work.

The ground started spi Ning. Sand was being formed and being spun in an vortex. At hugs speeds and McElroy created a huge tornado of sand with winds being thrown out from the center to the outside. And it caused the vessel to slow down tremendously.

And with Jay finally out of mana and options he clinched to the vessel. The vessel stopped moving and landed safely on the ground.

Researcher :

Were are safe we are finally saved.

There was a ring on my phone.

Welcome to the present Jay Garrick.
