\u201cI revealed myself to be Kamen Rider Shade when we got back,\u201d answered Kaede once Livia finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo you DID resort to magic one time!\u201d called a voice. It was 70-year-old me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t actually follow through with it!\u201d wailed Kaede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou were about to use magic!\u201d argued 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is monumentally bad,\u201d gulped Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow so?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCaan\u2019s returned, mentally, to his old Dalek ways,\u201d explained Michael. \u201cHating other lifeforms, that\u2019s bad enough, but he\u2019s now in a form he considers impure. He\u2019s being driven mad by his own flesh. The stink of his ancestral Kaled genes. He hates his own existence and that makes him deadlier than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot exactly something Daleks want to do,\u201d mused Rusty, \u201chating their flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan you guys give any hint on him?\u201d I asked my future and her children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo need to worry about him,\u201d assured 70-year-old me. \u201cHe\u2019ll die a few years from now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a surprise for him,\u201d replied Kaede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCaan isn\u2019t exactly someone to underestimate,\u201d muttered Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaybe,\u201d I commented, \u201cbut enough about that Dalek, let\u2019s talk about Haitao and Joshua! Where are they?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight here, Your Majesty,\u201d called Joshua. \u201cBoy, do we have a story to tell you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI really don\u2019t see why you\u2019re making such a fuss, after she failed you,\u201d I said to Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaking a fuss?!\u201d snapped Vortech. \u201cCaan, she\u2019s got intimate knowledge about our operations!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not interested in us anymore and she hates the Vortex Riders as much as we do,\u201d I assured Vortech. \u201cWe\u2019re fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cForgive me if I\u2019m skeptic,\u201d replied Vortech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrust the one who looked into the Time Vortex, we\u2019re fine!\u201d I insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHas anyone found Heather?\u201d asked War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s building too near Hell\u2019s outskirts,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI felt it too,\u201d wheezed Pestilence. Famine mumbled a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t talk with your mouth full!\u201d I whispered sharply. Famine mumbled \u201cExcuse me,\u201d and swallowed whatever she was eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo why aren\u2019t we there?\u201d she said before chowing down again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSonic\u2019s presence concerns me,\u201d I responded, fear creeping into my soft voice. \u201cIf he\u2019s the Sonic from THAT universe, it could prove catastrophic if the Vortex Riders find out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean\u2026you think Sonic may be the Sonic from the combined universe resulting from Clusters C-Y-8-3-R-T-R-0-N and 5-3-G-4?\u201d War grunted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe same,\u201d I replied. \u201cIf it is, we may experience the Convergence a lot sooner than we\u2019re ready for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wish you didn\u2019t say that,\u201d wheezed Pestilence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
