2021-09-01 22:42:49Upon their arrival, Watt introduced the place to the new irregular, “Welcome to the MDWD, this is the place where we resolve issues like… irregulars, you were taken out the timeline and brought here to find a suitable timeline for you to live.”
“You are Irregular no. 199.” Watt glanced at the documents as he added, “You the 199th Irregular we found.”
The girl, however, was still disoriented, and she didn’t get a thing about what Watt just said. The girl asked, “199?”
Watt nodded as he continued to explain, “Irregulars are those who do not belong in any timeline and are especially dangerous when taken back to their origin timeline- in your case, it’s the year 2020 at Earth J114.” He added as he led the girl to the higher-ups, “They will explain everything further.”
The girl looked back at him, a blank look on her face, so Watt cleared his throat and shoved Ethan inside first. He said, “Ethan will be with you inside.”
“What?” Ethan protested, “Why me?”
“You’re an Irregular yourself.”
Ethan sighed and went inside with the girl. He gulped hard as the higher-ups continued on with their job. They typed and organized towers of files by their desk. Ethan cleared his throat, “Uhm, excuse me.”
Almost immediately, all of them stopped and glanced at Ethan with a dissatisfied look on their faces. One of them remarked, “Ah, Ethan Young, irregular no. 23, what brings you here? Did you cause another ruckus?”
“No!” Ethan defended himself, “I’m not that clumsy.”
“Yes, you are.”
“Fine, I am but irregular uh, 190 something is here. She’s the irregular we tracked down on Earth J114 at the year 2020.” Ethan informed them, “Watt told me to bring her to you.”
The higher-ups sighed, “Ah, the number of irregulars fluctuated recently.” They cleared their throat in an oddly synchronized way, and they said all at once as if they were one being, “Irregular no.199 of Earth J114, you are hereby brought here to be examined by us at the MDWD where time does not run. What is your latest memory?”
The girl looked at them confused and shook her head.
“Name?”
She shook her head once again. The higher-ups took note of this and remarked, “It’s another case of a blackout.”
“Black… out?” The girl asked
Ethan whispered to her, “It’s a case when irregulars completely have no memories of anything. It’s the same case with me.”
“Is that a good thing?”
Ethan nodded, but before he could answer why, the higher-ups announced, “Since you are another case of Blackout, you are entitled to choose a timeline of your preference to live at- except 2020 or work here where time does not run. Like Ethan.”
“There are classifications of Irregulars: the Blackouts, the Partials, and the Conscious.” They added, “Each to which is determined by how much they can remember, irregulars that are conscious remember everything- they are automatically annihilated. Conscious irregulars are not able to live at any timeline because their memories are intact even after realizing that they are irregulars and are, therefore, a threat to our policy of the time.”
“ And the partials?”
“They are rarest.”
“And why is that?”
Ethan answered, “In my time of detecting Irregulars, I have never encountered such a case where one is partially conscious, meaning he or she retained a couple of vital information.”
“Correct.” The higher-ups remarked, “They are the rarest and the most dangerous for their unpredictability. They are capable of remembering everything all at once or never at all. They can cause unwanted changes in the timeline in hope for revenge or anything at all.”
“And what do you do with them?”
There was silence in the room. The higher-ups stopped what they were doing and paused for a while- even Ethan had no idea about it. He never really asked since he never really met one.
Ethan and the girl looked at them for an answer, but the higher-ups changed the topic, “Chief 102 will be in charge of finding you a suitable timeline.”
“Watt.” Ethan corrected, “Just… naming everyone and everything with numbers is confusing.”
“Watt will be in charge of you. You may now leave.”
Just as Ethan and the girl were on the way out, the girl stood firmly and asked, “But I’d like to know more. Can I… remember?”
They were once again taken aback by her boldness and curiosity. Most irregulars are just dazed and accepted what the store had for them, but this girl was different. Out of all the irregulars Ethan had encountered, this girl was incomparable.
However, she was still… a case of Blackout.
The higher-ups shot Ethan a look, and Ethan frowned as he answered the girl, “Unfortunately, cases of blackout are not capable of remembering.”
“Ah… is that so?”
Ethan nodded.
The two of them headed out the higher ups’ quarters, and outside, Watt was waiting for them. Watt remarked, “So how’d it go?”
“Still scary as ever.” Ethan replied, “Well, I leave her to you, Watt. I’m off to work.”
Just then, Watt grabbed Ethan by his collar, which caused Ethan to choked. Ethan protested as he wiggled out of his grasp, “Hey! What the hell?”
“On that note.” Watt cleared his throat, “I have urgent matters to attend to, so I leave her to you.”
“Wait, What the hell am I supposed to do? Bring her to work with me?” Ethan protested.
Just then, Watt used his squishy and purple tentacles to wrap around me as he quickly dashed away with his suitcase, “Wow, that’s actually a good idea. Tag her along and maybe she should see how Timekeepers work at the different timeline and all.”
“Hey! That’s your job-“ Ethan started, but before he could finish, Watt was long gone. His last words before entering the portal were, “Just make sure she doesn’t go back to 2020! I leave her to you then!”
Ethan awkwardly cleared his throat and glanced at the girl, “Right… well, let’s head to my place for now.”
Ethan led her to his place; it was just a walking distance from the tall buildings looming before her eyes.

Chronna looked at Ethan, and without being able to say a word, she squeezed her hands when Ethan tried to touch her face. The woman saw him and in a display of tremendous anger.She shook her head and then said, “No!! Nerd! No way! I won’t let that happen, I won’t let you do it, and I won’t, no, that’s out of the question!”Ethan looked at her and raised his hands to calm her down.The young woman closed her fist and hit it on her face as she said, “No! There’s nothing you can say to make me change my mind. There’s not one damn thing you can say that’ll make me just say, okay, Ethan, go and die. No!!”The screams attracted a huge crowd of people. Lulabay and Chloe entered the room.Chronna, with her weapons raised, looked at Ethan, who, with the blow to her face, tried to say, “It’s the only way, Chronna!”But the young woman submerged in despair said, &ldquo

The war was over, the north won, but in the current circumstances, there really was no winner. In the conference room of the Etherion palace, he looked at the table and his hands tied to the armrests.His victorious image had lasted for two years, beating that stupid delivery guy over and over again so that now, he was standing in front of him with all the haters with the power in his pocket.Ethan approached and, breathing exasperated, said, “Etherion, tell me where your notes are, where you have the gadgets. We need to find a solution to this damn problem!”But the man was looking at him with the same expression he had worn for the past two hours, an expression filled with ignorance and a complete lack of compassion.Etherion continued, “You can ask any way you want! But I’d rather everyone die than give you my research, and you won’t use all these years of development to save those dirty people!”Chloe o

She looked at him with hatred.Ethan cracked his neck and looked up. He saw how Chronna looked at him in pain and said, “Don’t get up, Chronna. I’ll take care of it.”The girl wanted to protest, but something in her eyes reminded him of when he saved her twenty-five again.Elena looked at him, smiling and getting up. She said, “What’s different this time? That you’re so sure you can handle it, stupid!”<

Lulabay and Chronna looked at the guard. Chronna took out two daggers from the inventory, one she gave to Lulabay and the other she took, zipping up the delivery man’s jacket.She knew perfectly well how hard that material was and saw Lulabay say, “You have to beat this guy!”She lunged at the guard with a lunge, but Chronna’s spinning knife deflected Chronna’s just before she kneed him in the stomach.Then, swinging the knife horizontally, she slashed at the girl, but the knife edge hit the blade—jacket without penetrating it.Chronna stepped back while Lulabay, who had more combat experience, stepped forward.The young woman attacked specific places, but the man defended himself efficiently.Their arms were crossed, each one holding the knife tightly when Lulabay dropped down and attacked the guard’s ankle who, supporting his weight with his hands, saw her suspended near the floor only for a second
