Chereads / Only Time Will Tell[Ninjago] / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Flashbacks are included mostly in this to show more of the past with both Cyrus and Acronix. Along with Krux. Any flashback is in my own headcanon to fit how I've invisioned them. Flashbacks are slanted

Though it has been merely a day since this has happened, and that krux had left to retrieve the time blade since Acronix was highly too busy to even go with, Cyrus felt very tired. He had been working non stop, only time he would was for small breaks. But they didn't last long. Thanks to Krux after all. Cyrus did quietly yawned as he worked on the wiring to one of the panels. He had to request eyedrops from Acronix so his eyes wouldn't hurt as much. Though they still did.

Acronix looked over to the inventor, wanting to walk over there and just watch him work. Though to him sounded like a perfect idea, and no one is around to ask him to do anything. So he quietly got up and walked over to the table Cyrus was at. Taking his chair with him, he sat it down and sat next to the inventor. Now quietly watching him do the work he was so renound for. Which had Acronix to smile at.

"You're so smart and talented....how did you even get this good?" Acronix asked at the top of his head. Not really thinking much about what he said. Which did caught Cyrus's attention. "Ahem...well...i was always fascinated by how things worked when as a child...."

The little boy known as Cyrus sat at the edge of his bed, waiting for his mother to come back so she could help him get into his wheelchair properly. Though as he waited he played with the small robot that his father gave him that he already built. Though Cyrus stared at the robot quietly and opened its little chest and peered inside the door. Looking at the small workings inside it. He smiled brightly as he cranked the little handle, seeing the gears move in different directions. His mother came in and smiled softly at her young boy playing around with the robot. "Cybug hun, daddy wants you to help him with a very special project", the elder woman said to her son.

Cyrus looked to her. "Really?!", the young boy said jofully, the mother nodded. She walked over and helped him in the chair and rolled him out of his room. She took him to the garage as the small boy held his robot close to him. "Ah, my special little boy, I see mama had told you about our plans today?" The elder man said to his son. Cyrus nodded vigorously in excitement. "Good! We are going to build a robot together", he said to the small boy. Which Cyrus widen his eyes in excitement. "So cryptor won't be alone?!" The little boy said in excitement, holding up the small robot.

"Haha, yes of course, so he won't be the only robot in the house", the man said with a grin. Cyrus smiled brightly. "Can it be a lady robot?" He asked curiously, tilting his head. Though he pushed up his glasses on his face so they wouldn't fall. "Of course! What do you want to name her?" The elder man asked, wheeling Cyrus to the work table and lowering the table so Cyrus could reach. "Pixel!" He said joyfully. "Like the pixels in the computer", he added. "That is a lovely name, son", Cyrus's father said. Before they know it, the female robot was built, Cyrus did give her green eyes than red. He was really proud of it...

Cyrus smiled at the memory as he told it. "Nammed my daughter after the robot I've built with my dad...She is the greatest thing I've ever made." He said with a soft smile as he tightened a screw. Acronix let out a small awe, feeling his heart warm up by the small story. "Hmm, how about you? Is there any childhood memories you want to say?" Cyrus asked to Acronix, who got caught off guard. Though he looked off a bit and thought. "Well, I do have a little funny story when me and Krux still had our elements..."

Young Acronix begged his parents for days apon days, merely for months for a pet rabbit. Krux groaned in annoyance by the constant bugging Acronix started up today. "Acronix! Stooop!" The familiar young voice caught the slighrly youngers attention. "You can't deny that you want a rabbit as well!" Acronix said in a squeaky tone. Which had his mother to giggle by his squeaky voice. "Nixy dear, don't bother your hermano like that", she said gently. "But madre!" Acronix was starting till he shut himself up. Respecting her oder.

Krux laughed in amusement but did got a plushed bear thrown at him. "Ay!" He whined as he did got hit with it. Acronix laughed back at him before he ran away. Though by the next few days Acronix suddenly had a rabbit. "Mom! Why does Acronix have a rabbit?!" Krux complained, though he felt jealous that Acronix was giving the rabbit more attention than him. "The neighbors given the rabbit to him since they had too many. We couldn't say no", the older woman said with a innocent smile. Krux huffed and stared at his brother with puffed out cheeks. Feeling jealous big time. (Note this flashback is not a original idea-- of mine---)

"Never knew how jealous really got over my rabbit", Acronix finished off with a amused grin. Though he had taken off his armor at one point because he founded it a bit annoying for wearing it all day. "Nixy? Thats what your mother called you?" Cyrus asked with a small grin. He had stopped his work to listen to the story. "Yeah! Sometimes I wonder if they mean Pixie half the time-", Acronix admitted. Which had Cyrus to laugh. The laugh hit Acronix hard and made him faintly blush. Giving the other male a warm smile.

"Ay- says the man who was called Cybug", Acronix shot back at him with a chuckle. Though Cyrus smiled at the comment. "Atleast im not referred to a pixie Fairy", he said in a joking manner, putting his hands on his hips. "How dare you-", Acronix said with a playful grin.

The two did went on and on about the past, though Acronix let Cyrus explain to what he went through within the past year or two. With the whole overlord and stuff. Acronix was just amused by what he was telling him. Though he felt like he should tell him about the war he had with the other masters.

"I have a story to tell, that happened 40 years ago", Acronix said, that caught Cyrus's attention quickly. '40 years ago? How is he so young?' Cyrus thought to himself.

The flashback below contains depressive scenes, blood and death. Please take precautions if you are sensitive to those topics

Acronix grinned happily as he crossed his arms and looked to the other elemental masters. His eyes glowed a blue and green color on each eye. His element would be responsible for the glow. Everyone was being praised by wu for their victory, yet of course he did thank the hands of time. Krux looked to his brother with a smile, that Acronix greatefully returned. Giving his brother a hug. This was pratically the last time Acronix sawn Krux happy...

(For this and upcoming scenes)

When they arrived home, their home was ransacked. Slash marks everywhere from familiar blades they knew all too well. Acronix stared at the scene as Krux rushed through the house, leaving his helmet behind at the front door. Yelling for his parents in Spanish. Acronix looked around and sawn little puddles of blood. Some on the walls and alot on the floor.

Acronix let a few tears slip, frowning at the memories. Though he continued..

Acronix walked around the room, nothing was stolen. But surely everything was destroyed. Though he picked up a golden glitter that was left on the floor. He knew where this came from but he decided to not mention it. He froze when he heard crying from another room. Then a scream of his parents names. Acronix quickly ran to where heard it, taking his helmet off and throwing it to the side. He opened the door fully to see Krux holding their mother close. She was lifeless in his arms. Acronix covered his mouth at the sight. Her chest was gaping open by a jagged cut from a high sharp blade.

Not to mention the many bruises and scrapes on her body. Clearly she did fought back. But lost the battle. Their father was the same, but instead of the front was the back. But he was stabbed atleast twice. Once that he could of survived on. But the other was through the chest. Looking to be from the back. Acronix gagged from the sight and felt dizzy, he leaned against the door frame and held his mouth tightly. Trying not to throw up. Though he felt numb, he was horrified, more like he was tramatized. He slid down the door frame, feeling nauseous already.

Though what he didnt notice was Krux slowly loosing his sanity. "I can't reverse this...it's been too long...i can't reverse...", Krux muttered, sobbing his heart out. He wasn't able to reverse because of his emotions taking control of his element. He wasn't able to reverse time so far anyways, he was still learning. Acronix however, finally broke and sobbed. Feeling the very wave of depression hit him harder than he liked....

Cyrus stopped Acronix there, Acronix was getting way too emptional with this. The only thing he could of do was pull the time twin into a hug. He knew Acronix gotten lost with the story as soon he brought up their parents death. He rocked the time twin gently, not caring how the timetwin adjusted himself in his lap. "I lost m..my b..b..brother from t...then on....h..he seeked r...revenge on ev...eryone and d...d...dragged me along...", Acronix whispered in a broken voice.

Cyrus softly cooed to hopefully calm the time twin down. "Hush now...let's forget about that and try to calm down...", he said softly to Acronix. Though even if it took longer than he expected, Acronix finally calmed down. Which Acronix sat in his own chair quietly so he wouldn't have to crush Cyrus. He looked at him quietly. "No one really had helped me out of that....thank you", Acronix muttered. "Of course...you shouldn't have to go through that alone...", Cyrus said softly. Though they stayed silent, like they was lost in their own worlds.

Acronix didn't realize how much he was leaning in, nor did Cyrus realize that he leaned in a bit. It was a odd connection to them, like something pulled at them together. They both was at a weakened might state, so they had no control over their own actions. Acronix gently put his hand on the wheelchair. His eyes now a softened pastel-golden color, staring right into a gorgeous pale blue color ones. Their lips was inches apart when....

Hahaha, I'm evil, but this is already over 1.8k words- so see ya next chapter uwu.
