Gaserlake arrived in the Records of Time with Asura, who teleported him there. "So, what are you gonna do?" Gaserlake asked.
-
Asura paid him no attention when they had arrived, her attention drawn elsewhere for the moment. Several minutes later she gasped in shock. "Well, Miss Hikaru and C2323 are no longer on the Dimensional Plane...." Asura looked thoughtful as she tilted her head a bit, her hand resting under her chin. "Nor outside it... Their timelines are nowhere to be found. " Promptly throwing up her hand, Asura caught an appearing book and quickly flipped through it.
-
"Well, if what we discussed a while ago was correct, then a good possibility is that they both died," Gaserlake said. He showed no interest. He went to his pocket and pulled out the most important pieces of Hikaru's teleporter. "Well, I guess I'll give this to you when I'm done with this, then."
-
"No, they can't be." Asura mumbled as she continued to flip through the book. "If that were true, the contract would be destroyed. And it's still in one piece." She finally stopped at a page. "The battle continued in Hell after we left, both parties did not give in. They both then just vanished. Off the Dimensional Plane, off the sight of Time!" Snapping the book shut, Asura looked up, just then catching his comment. "Oh by the way, your planet blew up." She mused as a dry comeback.
-
Gaserlake nodded his head. However, no surprise was evident. "Alright. What killed the bloody planet?"
-
As soon as he had said that, a book appeared near him.
"Thinks are moving fast now," Asura thought aloud. "The war of Embodiments, the happenings in Hell, the number of wars and alliances back in the Dimension. Things are about to drastically change. Many things have been set in motion." Asura released the hold on the book she had been reading, letting it fall to the floor where it disappeared before it hit the ground.
-
Gaserlake looked at the cover of the book. It was the book of Aralia. He opened it up, and went to the last chapter of the book, which details the destruction of Aralia. "Kurai? Her?" He paused for a moment. "Oh, and she's threatened them with the Garelang Virus. So... Kurai's the impostor, then, unless the Garelang Virus teamed up with both Hikaru AND Kurai, but that seems improbable. But that's weird for the Virus to ally with anyone."
-
"So then why don't you look up the book on the Virus?" Asura asked, sarcasm painting her words as if the answer should be obvious.
-
Just then, a book on the Garelang Virus popped out of nowhere in front of Gaserlake. Gaserlake dropped the other book of Aralia, which also disappeared before it reached the ground. He opened the Garelang Virus book open towards the end. "Okay." Gaserlake said, this time in surprise. "This is something that's never been done before. The Garelang Virus allied with Kurai because she saved its life." He closed the book, and dropped it to let it disappear. "That's never been done before. At least it confirms that Hikaru didn't release the Virus. But when people save it, the Virus wouldn't care and just consume it."
-
Asura said nothing more. She instead went to a now appearing empty shelf and waved her hand over it. Instantly, a couple thousand more books appeared, each, new happenings of time. Such as stuff thast was happening everywhere in all of existence.
-
"What are you looking for?" Gaserlake said as he dropped the book of the Garelang Virus to disappear.
-
Choosing a few of the books, Asura replied as she walked bawck over and fell backwards into a large appearing silver bean bag chair. "Adding the future to search for Miss Hikaru and C2323." Asura opened one of the books and quickly started thumbing through pages.
-
Gaserlake shook his head. "The information you would get about the future is extremely hypothetical, if not completely." He looked at the pieces of Hikaru's watch that he still had in his hand. Out of nowhere, another book came out of nowhere. For the fun of it, Gaserlake deliberately made it fall on his head, just to amuse Asura. It was the book to Hikaru's teleporter. He climbed on top of a shelf and began to read the book as he inspected the pieces.
-
The shelf Gaserlake was on fell over out of nowhere.
Asura just sat crossed legged in a comfortable position, paging through her books.
-
Gaserlake went with the shelf. He hit the ground, uninjured. He collected the pieces and the book. He sat on the floor and resumed with what he was doing.
-
And the book levitated out of reach.
"That's still considered stealing," Asura remarked over the top of her book.
-
Gaserlake sighed and got up. He crumbed the pieces to dust and threw it on the floor. "I guess I littered, too," he sarcastically spoke back. "Now, I'm going to damn loiter." He went against a shelf, curled up in a fetal position, and went to sleep.
-
The pieces immediately reassembled turning from dust back to their original form when Asura pointed her index finger at them. The time on the object, having been reversed. The pieces were then levitated and dropped on an appearing table. Asura returned to her books afterwords.
-
After a while, Gaserlake woke up. He got up and stretched.
-
Without warning, Asura snapped the book she was reading shut and stood up from her beanbag chair. Pacing the floor, she held out her hand, and her staff appeared in it. "Miss Hikaru is not in the future either. Wherever they went, it is impossible to see. They caused something, and it sent them somewhere outside Time, maybe even outside Space at this point. That said, it's not something that can be replicated." She stopped abruptly. "Unless...." Asura glanced over to Gaserlake, before returning to her pacing.
-
Gaserlake looked back at Asura with awkwardness. "The fuck are you looking at?"
-
Asura finished pacing and looked back at him, her mind made up. "How do you feel about time travel?"
-
"Maybe?" Gaserlake replied. "Sounds fun."
-
"You don't even know what I was going to ask." Asura leaned on her staff.
-
"Well, what?" Gaserlake asked.
-
Asura sighed, "The event that caused them to basically poof, cannot be recreated, as I said. But!" Asura held up her index finger as she continued. "It can be joined, I can send you to the exact moment in THIS timeline of what happened, without changing a thing. However... what happens after that, is unknown. They're obviously out of my power, which means you could quite possibly die." Asura grinned a bit. giving an innocent tease.
-
Gaserlake laughed. "Thanks for tempting me to do it," he said without sarcasm. "But ummm... one thing, though. I'd do it as long as you let me read whatever is necessary to study this thing," he said as he pointed at the pieces of Hikaru's device on the table.
-
"Very well." Asura frowned. "Take it all with you if you must, I can't guarantee you'll return. I also can't guarantee that if you find Miss Hikaru, she'll be too happy about that. Anyways..." Asura stood straight and picked her staff back up, pointing the end of it into the air, and drawing several diagrams and such in silver writing. When she finished, she dropped her staff and held out her hand, calling silver energy to her hand, the energy of time taking an embodied shape within an item. The sphere glowed bright for a moment or two, before taking the shape of a simple old fashioned-type gold and silver pocket watch, the kind with the pin on top.
"Here's how it's going to happen." Asura pointed to what she had drawn. "I'll open a tunnel to send you back to the very moment before they disappeared. The time when they were in the Sphere's of energy. The exact time you get there, you have several seconds to click the pin on this, or die in their attacks." She pointed to the pocket watch. "When clicked, it will cause you to be a phantom to that timeline, outside space, but still in the timeline. Follow Miss Hikaru, and C2323, if you see him, and do not lose them. The watch will continue to count down. When the countdown ends, it'll mean you're back in the present, at that time, click the pin again, to re-join space." Asura threw the pocket watch at him.
"When you do that, you'll be able to be seen. To the timeline, you will have changed nothing. It will be as if you had just teleported there, instead of being there the whole time. DO NOT, click the pin before the countdown ends. Understand?"
-
Gaserlake caught the pocket watch. "Alright. Several seconds to die, huh? That sounds fun. But don't worry. I won't screw up." He collected the pieces of Hikaru's teleporter, and grabbed a book that came out of nowhere, which was about the teleporter.
-
"And, not so fast." Asura held out her hand, another book materializing in it. This time it had a quill pen attached to it by a ribbon, it was black leather with golden pages, and looked a bit like a journal. "No point in sending you if I can't get an answer as to where Miss Hikaru is. Take this as well." Asura carelessly tossed the book to him, a second appearing in her now empty hand. "Whatever you write in it, will also be written in the second. Unless, somehow, spells are cut off too."
-
Gaserlake grabbed the second book. "Alright. You just want to know where she is?"
-
"And anything else, such as what is going on. Just, don't lose any of it." Asura picked up her staff. "Ready?"
-
"Yeah," Gaserlake nodded.
-
"Try not to die." With that, Asura twirled her staff, the beads on the rings spun around the rings as the sand in the hourglass fell quickly, a silver glow escaping the great orb encased into the rings around the hourglass. It stay entrapped, for a few seconds, then let out a great flash of silver light throughout the Records of Time, so great, that the books in every case shook.
-
When the flash was gone, Gaserlake disappeared.
