This is what I get for doing something crazy...No worries! I got dis!

“Well guys, looks like this is it! Thanks for helping me find a way back.” I was just about to step through the portal that should take me back to my original timeline. I’ve spent quite a few months in this timeline after the event that brought me here.

Well I should probably explain what happened that took me to a different timeline, well you see, back in my timeline I was on my way towards a civilian outpost where they took in any civilians that needed shelter from the threats that have been around ever since World War 3, which only lasted 4 to 6 months but I’ll explain that later, and they sent a distress call and I thought it would be a good idea to go with the few civilians and USMC squad that were going to check out what the problem is, I had certain...abilities that came in handy against the enemy which I also will explain later. Ok so we were half way there along the roads were barely any buildings stood anymore when we suddenly lost contact with the Winchester Stronghold in Virginia. At first we were confused and just kept going but the vehicle suddenly stopped. Then suddenly there was a HUGE flash and then I blacked out. Next thing I know I’m lying in the top bunk of a bed in my room except it wasn’t dark outside and I wasn’t wearing any of my equipment.

Yeah you might think ‘Oh, but someone could have just taken you back to your room while you were unconscious’, well yeah but this room was mine but not from the stronghold, it was my old home’s room and we left that place a while ago.

Anyways so I went to look around and found out there never was a World War 3 and a lot of the events that i remember never actually happened. At first I thought it was a dream so I just went back to sleep. When I woke up, Surprise Surprise, nothing changed. I spent living my life as I would 2 years ago until I finally found out some of my abilities still work. After about 3 months I found a group online on a certain website *cough cough* this one *cough* and joined the group.

A few months later and I started talking about my predicament and some of them believed me and were willing to help if I could get them to a certain place. I told them that I might be able to IF I get back to my timeline and that’s how we got to here.

“Well I’m off, thank you for all your help and I WILL find a way to get you there.” I said as I approached the portal. “Don’t disband the Alliance, and may we meet again.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t! And we hope we do meet again. Bye!” They told me..

I turned around and stepped back. “Bye guys, I’ll see you again!” I went through.

Darkness. That was it. First I’m going through a portal back to my timeline and now darkness.

After a bit I realize ‘Oh...My eyes are closed…Heh, Well that’s better than being unconscious I guess. Welp, time to open my eyes and take a look around'.

I open my eyes and I see something that seems familiar, a cloudy dark sky. I knew better than to let that be a sign that I’m back so I decided to stand up and look around.

Now you would expect that I appeared somewhere else already but NOPE! I found myself looking at ruined buildings, rubble and a road. That’s when I decided to look and see what I was wearing and I found myself wearing My cargo jeans, grey T-shirt, protective vest, My favorite black zipper hoodie with ‘SP’ as the emblem on the left, my lightweight, waterproof hiking boots, my fingerless gloves, and my dual pistol holster with my sonic pistols A.K.A. two Sonic Projectile 14-Switcher Class or SP14-Switchers. Altogether that adds up to about 1000 points of awesomeness, but who’s counting?

I quickly grabbed the sonic pistols and checked them to make sure they were as I left them and it turns out they were at full functionality, or should be if I pull the trigger. I decided to test ‘em on some rubble, so I pulled the trigger and I could hear the all too familiar dragged out boom noise when I shot something (or someone. That’s when I heard some commotion a few blocks away. Gunfire and yelling. I was just about to go and see what it was when I remembered that I should probably check if my abilities were back.

I started concentrating on making my hand glow blue from the energy in and around me and creating a tennis-ball sized orb of energy float in my palm. At first nothing happened, but after a few seconds, I felt the familiar coldish, somewhat prickly feeling in my hand. That’s when the orb started appearing and growing from a small marble size to almost tennis ball size.

Suddenly there was a whistling noise and an explosion near me. I looked up and saw a rocket heading towards me. I jumped to the side, barely dodging the explosion. I looked to see what just shot at me, and what I saw brought back memories. A mechanical spider-like robot that’s 20-ft tall and has rocket launchers and a variety of energy weapons., what I called a ArachDrone (not very creative, I know), was looking straight at me. A rocket launcher on it’s back was trained on me with a laser pointing at me. I instantly ran behind one of the buildings around me when a rocket hit the building.That’s when I heard gunfire again and explosions around the corner. I took my chances and looked around the corner. I saw the Drone first, but then I saw a group of soldiers and Humvees shooting at the bot. The bot was returning fire and I knew that I had to help. I pulled one of my SP14s from it’s holster and switched it from Sonic to Energy and was ready to go out and attack the bot when something caught my eye.

There was what appeared to be another ArachDrone heading towards my location and an IBC (Invasion Battle Cruiser) flying over the bot dropping Hunters, an alien race with unknown origins, with Level 4 weapons and armor. The IBC also had some type of new weapon on the underside of the cockpit. I knew that if I didn’t attack and take down the first bot before the enemy reinforcements arrived. I jumped out from behind the building and started shooting at the Drone’s legs. I took one leg off and was about to shoot another one when one of the ArachDrone’s energy guns turned towards me and started firing. I instinctively held my hands up to my face when my abilities kicked in and an energy barrier appeared in front of me and blocked the bolts of energy. That reminded me of my powers so I kept the shield up and started moving towards the bot. I changed the shield to about the size of a riot shield and started to shoot from behind it.

I hit another leg at the same time as the soldiers on the other side destroyed 2 more legs and it started to lose balance but caught itself before it fell. I used the distraction and sprinted towards the ArachDrone while using the energy of the shield to boost the power on my sonic pistol. I rolled under the bot before it could shoot at me again and was about to shot the underside of it when I remembered another thing I could do with my abilities, something I called Tech Shifting. I held my pistol out in my left and held my right hand a few inches over it and thought of what I wanted to change it to. The SP14 disassembled into small pieces that were glowing blue and started to reassemble into the shape of a sword-like weapon . Ah, My Energy Steampunk Cutlass, or Steam Cutlass for short, is my favorite melee weapon. The sword stopped glowing and I grabbed the handle. I looked up to see the underside of the ArachDrone was closer to the ground because of it’s missing legs. I gripped the sword, charged the blade with energy, and slashed at the underside.

The blade cut right through the metal armor and damaged the inner circuits. The drone stopped firing at the Humvees and the soldiers, and started to fall. I quickly jumped out from under it before it came crashing down. I looked back at it then turned towards the soldiers, which some had their guns aiming at me while others simply stood wide eyed at what they just saw happen. I quickly realized that the Hunters and the other ArachDrone would be here soon, so I took a step towards them to tell them about the other hostiles in the area when one of them yelled.

“Stay right there and don’t move!” A somewhat familiar soldier with what appeared to be a Remington R5.

“Woah! Hey! Don’t shoot! Friendly!” I quickly responded.

“Who or what are you and what was that thing you did a few minutes ago?!” He said while still aiming at me.

“First off, I’m human, Second, my alias is Incognito Blazer and I am,or was, a part of the Phantom Destiny Strike Team, And what you just saw was me using my special ‘talent’ to take down that ArachDrone.”

“Wait,” He replied while lowering his gun,”Incognito from PDST went M.I.A. over six months ago and you, a teenager, are telling me that you’re him?” He had an expression of deep thought on his face and started murmuring a few things,”A kid with strange abilities, claims to be Incognito Blazer from PDST and is in a sector under hostile control, either you’re actually some kind of hostile in disguise, or you actually are Incognito!”

“Yes, I am and I know I went missing for six months-” The soldier cut me off.

“I know that you are Incog because, well, we ARE the PDST!” He said.

“Wait, I thought you looked familiar. Are you...Eric?” I asked.

“Ha, You do remember me! And that proves that you’re Blazer! Oh and I told you that we would all call each other by alias if we have to call you by alias,” He answered.

“Right, sorry I forgot. Well Night, I never really liked you’re alias very much,” I joked.

“Yeah, says the one who pretty much doesn’t have a name BESIDES Incognito Blazer!” He responded.

“Hey, I told you I just don’t like going by my actual nam-” I got cut off by one of the Humvees suddenly exploding. I turned to look towards the downed ArachDrone when I saw that the other Drone was already here along with the IBC and the Hunters. We quickly  took cover and started firing. I pulled out my other SP14, switched it to Energy, and started shooting at the legs of the Drone and the Hunters. The fight was getting serious when the IBC’s cannon under the cockpit started to glow and make a ZZZZ sound that grew progressively louder. Suddenly the Drone was next to my other squad mates’ hiding spots aiming at them. I stepped out from cover and the IBC’s cannon aimed at me while the the spider-like bot was about to fire at the rest of my squad.

I did probably the craziest thing I've ever done. I holster my pistol, took my sword, and pounced on the ArachDrone at the same time as the IBC fired at me. The sword made contact and the white laser from the cannon hit both me and the Drone. Everything suddenly went into slow motion and I felt a strange sensation of being compressed and stretched at the same time (which didn't hurt for some odd reason) and everything was slowly turning white. Everything finally turned white after a few seconds and then nothing but pure darkness.
