Justice Hero Scootaloo

Expert was examining Veronica. He had a sour look on his face. "Well, I hate to say it, but it's too late to help her." Expert said.

"What?! How can you say that?!" Scootaloo exclaimed, growing more worried.

"It's the cybernetics attached to her body. Her body has been becoming poisoned. And I doubt the rest of her colony has fared any better. I wouldn't be surprised if she's all that remains now." Expert said.

"Wait, are you saying because of her kind using those cybernetics to take back Alternate Earth, the entire race of Hives will die out?!" Rob exclaimed.

"That is what I'm saying. It takes years to remove cybernetics as embedded as this. Years Veronica does not have. As she doesn't have years, only minutes." Expert said.

"Are you saying she's not going to last that much longer?" General Hightop asked.

"That is what I'm saying yes. I'm surprised she's lasted this long to be honest with you. But, this is the end of the road for her." Expert said.

"Dammit..." Rob said, before he hit a nearby wall. "DAMMIT! The one time I want to help someone, and I can't. We can't change the past, only the future." Rob said.

"There are times when we wish we could change history. But it is impossible. As much as I hate to admit it, we'd need a miracle to change the course of Alternate Earth's history." Aaron said.

"If only I had the power to do that; I'd go back in time and stop the humans of Alternate Earth from ever creating their cyborg army." Rob said.

That was when suddenly, the Time Stones flew out of Rob's pocket, and began glowing. "Wh-what's going on? They've never done this before." Expert said.

"Thought this was obvious. Did you fools forget? The Time Stones control the very fabric of time itself." Dr. Krono said. Suddenly, the time stones created a portal.

"That looks like...Alternate Earth but...not cybernetic." Aaron said.

"Like I said, the Time Stones can control time itself. They are responding to Rob's wish to save Veronica's life by changing history." Dr. Krono said. "Only Rob and Scootaloo can go through the portal so they can fix Veronica. This may be the only chance we have of saving her life." He said.

"But what will happen if he does that? Will we suddenly be in some alternate timeline?" General Hightop asked.

"I doubt the Time Stones will allow Rob to fix Alternate Earth's past without causing a ripple effect that will change some aspects of the greater multi-verse around us. But I also doubt that they'll bring Rob back to some timeline he knows nothing about." Dr. Krono said. "He would not wish for that." He said.

"But then Veronica--" Aaron began to argue.

"The Time Stones will fix her history; just not ours. Rob wants to change Veronica's past. Not ours. So it will not effect the rest of us. Don't you understand something as simple as that?!" Dr. Krono exclaimed.

"I trust you, Dr. Krono. I'm going to save Veronica." Rob said.

"Yeah. I'm going to help. Plus, we have the Chaos Sword, so we'll be golden." Scootaloo said.

"...Very well. I can see no reason to stop you. I only have one order for you on this endevor." General Hightop said.

"Yeah? What's that?" Rob asked.

"Don't you dare die in the past. That is my only order. I leave whatever you do up to you. Do whatever you need to save Veronica. Even if it means using Deadly Force." General Hightop said.

"General Hightop..." Rob said. He smiled. "...Your a good general." He added before jumping through the portal with Scootaloo close behind.

"I can use my intruments to measure Rob's progress." Expert said. However, he never got the chance. Something suddenly caused everything to become frozen in place. As if time had stopped moving entirely.

At least in the present.

Rob and Scootaloo came out nearby a giant Beehive building. "What in the world?" Scootaloo said.

"Okay, now I've seen the strangest thing ever." Rob said simply.

"This is the hive?" Scootaloo said.

"Halt human! You have no business here." It was Veronica, uncyborg, and younger then she was before.

Rob decided to play it cool. "I'm Rob Snowden, I'm a Justice Hero." Rob said.

"Justice...hero? You speak strange words for a human." Veronica said.

"Wait, don't do anything..." Scootaloo paused to think of an excuse. "...We're from a totally different planet. We heard there was some bad stuff going on with the humans on this planet. We're here to stop them." She said.

"...Forigners huh? Why should I trust you?" Veronica asked.

Scootaloo bit her lip. But then, Rob suddenly tacked Veronica to the ground, just in time for a stray dart to wiz past where she was and hit the nearby wall of the hive. "...That came out of nowhere." Scootaloo said.

"Another human assissin. They have been growing in number lately." Veronica said. "How did you notice he was even there, stranger?" She asked.

"I've been through enough to be able to just tell things like that. But that looked like some sort of andriod, not a human." Rob said.

"...Then the humans ARE up to something. Your help will be greatly appreciated, Mister Rob." Veronica said.

"Wait, that got you to trust us?" Scootaloo asked.

"Hive rule number 7: No one who would save a life could ever be evil." Veronica said.

"Yeah. I do my best not to kill anyone if I end up fighting someone. But, I've come to realize that's not always the case. I wish I didn't have to kill those that are just not able to be saved." Rob said.

"You may be a forigner, but your words speak as if you are a Hive. I shall accompany you, Rob. And we shall stop the humans of my planet from--" Veronica was saying.

"Hey, what's this?" Scootaloo asked. She was in front of a dead body. It looked like it's been there for a few weeks.

Veronica went pale at the sight of it. "M-mother?!" She said.
