CHAPTER 9

Anita tossed and turned in her bed. Her dreams were plagued with images of J’Karra and the coming invasion. But now she was also seeing the fractured memories she witnessed inside Chronos’ mind. The flow of different timelines, different memories, different planets was almost too much for her to keep straight.

She awoke and pulled the sheets off her body, rubbing her eyes. Anita reached for the glass of water on her nightstand and sighed. She flipped the switch above the bed and the lights slowly came on to give her a moment to adjust.

Anita went into the small bathroom and turned on the sink, splashing cool water on her face. She examined her features in the mirror as she wiped her face with a towel. Strangely enough, her face somehow appeared alien to her.

Leaving the bathroom, she walked back to her bed and sat on the edge of the mattress. Anita took another drink of water, still trying to piece together what these visions meant.

A sound like an explosion drew her away and she instantly stood. The smoke cleared and she saw a fully armored Chronos standing in her doorway, his staff pointed right at her.

Anita didn’t give him a chance to fire another blast. She flew right at him as fast as she could, her fists slamming into him and driving him across the corridor and into the wall.

She wrapped her fingers around his throat and pummeled his face with her fist. Chronos’ armor responded by releasing an electric charge through her body, just as he had done to Sharkskin earlier.

Anita released him and fell back. Chronos drove his staff into her abdomen, then raised it and brought it down on her neck, then a final time against her back and she struck the ground. He placed a foot on her back to keep her pinned and the end of the staff crackled with energy as he positioned it right above her head.

“Sorry about this,” he said. “But for the future to survive, you can’t.”

Something wrapped around the staff and held it back. Chronos turned and saw Erin standing behind him, her arm extended and her hand holding his staff. She leapt at him, her arm pulling her towards Chronos.

Chronos released his staff and held out his hand, generating an shield around his body, a shield that Erin slammed right into. Once she hit the ground, the staff flew right back to his hand.

“I don’t want to hurt you,” he told her. “But your friend has to die.”

He turned around to finish off Anita, but she was gone. Chronos used his armor to scan for her. And the scan picked her up, circling around the level to try and sneak up on him from behind. But unfortunately, he was ready.

Anita came around the bend and Chronos stood there with his back to her, a smile forming on his face. His armor told him exactly where she was. She flew closer, raising her fist in preparation of her strike.

A compartment opened on Chronos’ back and an energy net burst out.
