...For The End (Timefur chronicles book 1) Read online

building. He then says:

  -Glitch I know you’re in here! Come out alone and your friends will be unharmed!

  Glitch then jumps down from the ledge he was hiding on and says:

  -How can I trust you?

  Paradox gives Glitch the blade he was carrying and pulls the gun out and shoots himself saying:

  -Because I’m still your brother and people can change.

  Glitch sees his brother die then Ayden comes up behind him and says:

  -Terra’s hurt. Come on.

  -What happened?

  Glitch says when they enter the room. Ayden then answers saying:

  -We don’t know. There was a gunshot then she fell on her back.

  Glitch then runs to Terra and cries as he holds her in his arms. Virix then hands Glitch a mirror shard and says:

  -You know what to do.

  Glitch nods accepting the shard then jabbing Terra’s heart. Shocked by what she’s seeing Ayden asks Virix:

  -What is he doing?

  -There is a myth on Gallifur. It says that if a Timefur were to die you should stick a mirror shard through their heart so that they can be revived.

  -How do we know it works?

  -We don’t.

  Glitch then picks up Paradox’s gun, puts it to his head and says:

  -There’s only one way out.

  Ayden then says:

  -Glitch don’t!

  But he already pulled the trigger.

  Glitch then wakes up on a medical cot. He notices where he is and sees his friends. When he looks at the cot in front of him he sees the person isn’t moving. Virix then tells him:

  -Sorry Glitch. She didn’t make it.

  Glitch then gets up and grabs Terra’s body, raps it up, and takes it to the tardis with everyone following him in.

  The Tardis appears on Gallifur then Glitch comes out carrying a shovel and starts digging. He returns to the tardis and brings Terra’s body. After he buries the body he drops the mirror shard on the grave and returns to the tardis.

  Once glitch is inside he walks to the controls and tells everyone:

  -That’s it. Paradox finally won.

  Ayden then smacks Glitch and says:

  -That’s not the Glitch I know. You still have a chance to stop Paradox.

  She then gives him the clockwork cutlass. Virix then says:

  -Plus there’s something that you have that paradox doesn’t.

  -And what’s that?

  -Friends that have your back. Even if Paradox kills you kill him first.

  He then hands Glitch his gun. Glitch pushes it away and says:

  -I can’t take this. But there’s gotta be a way that you can help me. Find a way that you can use the elements and we have our plan b.

  Everyone seams happier now that Glitch has a plan.

  Glitch is in his room staring at a picture of him and Terra together before the war. Ayden then enters the room in hopes of cheer him up. She then tells him:

  -To be honest: when I first walked into this room I didn’t know what to expect. Then I realized how normal it was and I almost forgot that this was a time machine.

  -Look if you’re trying to cheer me up, it’s not working.

  -I just know that I can get that old Glitch smile on your face again. Plus Virix promised everyone ice cream and I know you don’t want to miss that.

  He then starts smiling and says:

  -He’d better be buying.

  They then walk out of the room.

  Paradox watches his brother leave and grabs a phone and dials a number. Once the other line picks up he says:

  -I’ve found him. Send the men to this location…

  The world famous 8-bit café. A perfect place to relive a great part of the 80’s. When Glitch and the gang enter they notice that every screen is showing the battle between Glitch and Paradox.

  -Why are they showing the battle?

  -Because it’s not every day you get to see someone fighting without actually fighting.

  -It just makes me want to leave more than stay.

  Just then one of Paradox’s men appears and pulls out a blade. Glitch pulls out his blade and swings it only to miss by an inch. Paradox’s bounty hunter swings his blade knocking Glitch down and scaring his right arm. Glitch then yells

  -Run!!

  Two more of Paradox’s bounty hunters appear and shoot darts at Ayden and Virix knocking them out. Toya and Onix then run only to be stopped by two more bounty hunters who knock them out. Glitch then tries to get his blade, but is stopped by Paradox’s main bounty hunter who tells him:

  -Paradox made it clear that I bring you to him personally.

  Glitch then looks to the side of the bounty hunter and says:

  -What’s that?!?

  The bounty hunter turns to look and Glitch grabs his blade, knocks him down, and runs to the door. Once outside Glitch runs to the tardis when he gets hit by a dart. Limping he opens the door and sends the tardis to Gallifur before passing out at the controls.

  Back at the café the bounty hunters are dragging the bodies of Toya, Ayden, Onix, and Virix to a helicopter. The lead bounty hunter is on a phone with Paradox saying:

  -He got away, but we have his friends. It won’t be long now.

  -We need him with us now!

  -Trust me there isn’t anywhere he can run to now. He’ll come for his friends and we he does we’ll bring him to you.

  -Let’s hope you’re right. Put his friends in the dungeon until I can corrupt them.

  Paradox then hangs up the phone looks into the sands of time then says:

  -Keep running brother. Run home so I can save you.

  The tardis lands on Gallifur with a thud so loud it almost crashed the thing had it not already crashed. Glitch was still at the controls and regained conciseness. He didn’t care that he was awake because he’d fall asleep again, but by then it would’ve been too late. By then he’d be regressed. He then looked for the bottle of wine he had before this whole thing started. Once he got it he held the bottle above his mouth like a man without water and he noticed it was empty. He then fell on his back as he fell asleep and regressed. Before he completely fell asleep he heard a familiar voice say:

  -You aren’t old enough to drink wine.

  He then felt arms that he knew, but not at that time, belonged to the same voice of the person who just spoke to him carry him away as he fell asleep.

  Ayden woke up startled. She had no memories of the night prior other then Paradox’s bounty hunters attacking them. She then noticed a baby wolf around the age of two near her legs asleep. She then asked quietly, so she wouldn’t wake the wolf:

  -Toya?

  A Voice next to her answered:

  -Yes that’s Toya. Some of the darts the bounty hunters shot where laced with foy water so Glitch would be easier to catch.

  She then turned her head to see Virix next to her and the same way he was the night prior. He then added:

  -It might be best to go back to sleep. There isn’t much left for us to do other then look after these two.

  He then gestured to Toya and Onix who had also been regressed. She then fell back to sleep and so did Virix.

  Paradox who has been awake for hours continues to stare into the sands of time. He watches as Glitch is being regressed. Just then a figure appears and carries him away. Paradox watches closely at the sands. He couldn’t believe it. Then he picks up his phone and dials a number without looking away from the sands. Once it picks up he says:

  -He’s on Gallifur. Bring her along with you.

  Glitch wakes up two hours later to find he wasn’t regressed. He then looks around and sees a white wolf-cat with a white t-shirt that reads:

  -…Something browed, something blue.

  He then looks down at his own shirt which now says:

  -Something old, something new…

  He then hugs the wolf-cat and says:

  -I found you Terra. I found you.

  He then passes out and Terra see
s him crying as she takes him to his room in the tardis.

  Virix wakes up only to find everyone else still asleep. He then gets up and looks around at where Paradox is keeping them. He then pulls out his gun but instead of a gunshot a flame shoots out. He sees that they are in the pyramid of Giza. He starts to wake Ayden up then says to himself:

  -If I wake her up I might wake Toya and Onix up as well.

  He then starts lighting a torch. Then another and he doesn’t stop until the room is fully visible. He then notices two of the darts that the bounty hunters shot at them the night prior. He then picks them up and starts studying them.

  Glitch wakes up again to find he was regressed. He then thinks to himself:

  -Was that moment with Terra just a dream?

  He then looks around and sees that he’s now in his room. He then thinks to himself again:

  -It wasn’t a dream. Someone had to move me.

  Terra then enters the room and sees Glitch is awake. She then tells him:

  -I’d tell you how I got here but I rather wait until you’ve progressed.

  Glitch then passes out again waiting for Terra to tell him how she’s here when he wakes up.

  Once he woke up (at least to him he was waking up) he noticed that he had progressed, his shirt was the same one from earlier, and he was on the world that Terra and he made. He then walks up to Terra who was sitting by a tree and he sat down next to her. He then asks her:

  -What did you want to tell me?

  -Back on Gallifur, right before you left I felt a shift in time. Then when the explosion sent you to earth it sent me to the same place, but thirty years later. I was stuck in a time loop until Toya appeared and I took him in. I thought sooner or later you would come and get me out of the time loop, but when you came Paradox came and killed you.

  Glitch looked over to see that Terra was now crying. She then continued:

  -And when I was shot
