***************
We just arrived into an abandoned facility, and I walked with some troop, alongside Lilian.
"....Hey boy, General Jack demands your presence" an armed handsome-looking young man called.
"General....what?" I froze.
"What's the problem? He's my dad. That man lied to you " Lili said smiling.
The handsome man gestured to me to follow him.
Lilian looked worried.
"I will be back before you know it" I said, turning back to the man.
We walked back to one of the parked cars and saw General Jack lying in one of the trunks, litting a Cigaratte.
"You didn't tell me you were Jack" I asked standing outside the van, curious
He was silent for a while, concentrating on the rings of smoke eloping his lips. He turned to me and smiled.
"You didn't ask for my identity" He replied. He gestured to the young man to leave us, and continued smoking.
"What's the call? I asked when I felt he was wasting much time.
"...I will like to have a formal introduction....tell me about you, do you have any special abilities? He asked. I paused, wondering what he meant.
"I heard my daughter telling you about Gabriel's soldier and..."
"Who's Gabriel?" I asked confused.
"General Jack or whatever he told you....and I know she told you about their powers"
He said, putting the stick on his lips again.
"I was taken to this city for...." I tried to explain..
"Hold it for tonight" He interrupted .
"I wouldn't like to hear it alone" He smiled.
**********************************
"What, the hell!" yelled the soldiers when I told them how I got there.
"Are you kidding me..." a huge guy asked in the noisy crowd.
I looked at General Jack and he shook his head.
"I'm...I'm telling the truth, look, I got an assistant guiding me through out my stay, I got missions to complete before I get back to my world." everywhere got silent and they stared at me unbelievably.
"What year were you from" a young man, I guessed the sniper and the most favourite asked.
"2022" I said, with all sincerity.
"I believe him" said the young man to his colleagues still looking at me.
I sighed in relief. Just then, Lilian came out, from a room behind the crowd and sat beside her father, listening after waving at me.
" Okay, comrades" He added, standing and coming to the stage. He told me to have a sit.
"After I came in contact with a vamp some centuries ago...."
"Vamp?.." I muttered did he just say vamp? ..
I felt anxious.
He continued.
"I came to realize that humanity is so cruel...I met so many personalities, so many marriages, so many homes and of course, so many wars and so many types of different corrupt governments. I must say that this is the worst government ever.
Consequent times, young time travellers like Jones were sent from the past to put things right but..sadly, they made a bad end. Yes, no one was recorded successful." He said staring at me with no expression on his face.
Oh God, he was already scaring me to death did he just say....none had been recorded successful...i wanted to set things right...did ONE send me here for that.
I gave a fake short smile and bit my lips. I just felt awkward cause eyes were on me.
"Times without number, My heart bleed as this horror swallowed us and we blindly walked into the jaws of hell. We are spiritual beings experiencing a physical reality but we trapped ourslves in the corrupt government's dream. The dream seems real. But I believe we all have the ability to change it at anytime.
Dictatorships only exist with the followers. You don't have to go with the obedient herd, there is another choice. Are you scared to be among the individuals or are you happy being the submissive slave?"
Just then, I knew he was referring to me. I got uncomfortable.
"End of Discussion" said General Jack from behind.
Just then, Lili tapped my shoulder from behind.
"Dad is calling" she whispered.
Looking to his position, he was no longer there.
*************************************
"...Basbos is an irradiated wasteplace." he started when Lili and I took a seat in a room.
"Outside the boundary walls lies a desert. A cursed earth. Inside the city lies the cursed Basbosians. So many broken landscape. 800 people living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structure of a new one.
Convulsing, Choking, breaking under its own weight. Citizens in fear of the streets. The gun, the gang. I wondered how it came to this. It involves everyone but the resistance is too weak.
The majority felt powerless and trapped in the fear spell. I believe you will come to raise us out of this heroic victory. However there is still light and we still have it. Their plans are still ongoing.
Only one thing fighting for other in the chaos, the men and women of iMen." He said sipping gin.
"We both have a goal here, and we spilt up if you want to" he said, relaxing back.
"Sounds like a deal to me..." I asked, getting confused.
"Why am I so important, I don't even know how to fight" I added.
"It's rumoured and taken as a prophesy that, year 5234 will put an end to the chaos in Basbos city, through the time travellers..." Lili chirps in.
"And every gang and cop are coming for you starting from this instant" General Jack added. I felt my head spinning. It can't just be.
"Oh no" I sighed.
"Why did you decide to help me?" I asked, with a shaky voice.
"Because they've got my daughter, Kira and we need to help fulfill the prophecy too" he answered.
****************************
"...Every gang and cops are coming...they are coming for you" I could hear in my head.
"I don't even know how to fight!" my voice echoed.
"Time travellers always made the bad ends...no one went successfully.."
'You will put an end to this chaos, boy'
"....Brandon, are you okay" I startled seeing the young vampire sniper in my room.
"How did you..."
"I saw it opened, and I see you thought about things alot" He said frantically.
"Urm..."
"I will be leaving you.." he said, walking away.
"No...wait" I said, jumping off my bed and running to him.
"Can you tell me what I need to know...Please" I pleaded.
"With time, you will know. But I must tell you one thing, many time travelers died because the misunderstood ONE.
ONE won't help you with the necessary but pave a way to your death"
"ONE?...wait a minute, how the hell did you know ONE?" I asked, looking suspiciously at him Cause I remembered telling them how I came but not who sent me...i didn't give names.
"I know more time travellers more than you do, and..." He answered as he was cut off..
"Responders needed at square 1171, code 10-10...Do you copy?" a voice came from his comms. He looked at me and raised his brows.
"I need to go" he said, smiling lightly.
Getting confused, I sat on the bed.
"ONE, talk to me.." I whispered. It was still dawn, and as there was nothing equivelent to time, I could only guess it was 7am.
Knock Knock
I went to the the door to receive the caller, when ONE interrupted.
"Don't open the door, Mr Brandon. You are being tracked down by illegal drones. Your mission is to be safe.."
My eyes opened..
