Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

After the twins timetraveled

Cyrus quietly looked up at the sky, a small frown clearly on his face whilst his heart slightly ache. He didn't expect this to happen, nor did he expect for Acronix to follow. But he knew very well that he had no choice. But his thoughts was interupted quickly when Jay panicked and turned to him. "Thats it! Can't you build another-another time travel- thing?" The blue njnja questioned. Cyrus knew that there was no way for it to work. "I...i cannot.." he said shamefully.

"Oh- 'I cannot' is business for 'it will cost you big'-", Jay said at the top of his head. Though had Cyrus become nervous when the blue ninja tried to offer money. "No time blades. No time travel." Maya spoken up, which made Jay whine in unamusement. Walking away from the inventor. Though Cyrus glanced down to his lap in guilt. But he noticed something in his pocket. He took the phone out, knowing it was not his.

He turned it on and his eyes widen a bit. Acronix left his phone with him. For memories. Acronix knew he wasn't coming back. Acronix knew this whole time. Just by seeing this, made Cyrus let out a small, sadden whine. And frowned more when he went through the photos Acronix took. He was amazed how gifted Acronix was with taking photos after barely learning how to use the camera. "Cyrus? Are you ok?" Lloyd asked to the male.

Cyrus perked his head up and turned the phone off. Now realizing how silent everyone was. "Yes? Why wouldn't I be?" He questioned. Though lloyd frowned. "Theres tear stains on your glasses. And you're crying." Lloyd spoken, which now made Cyrus realize. When did he start crying? He placed the phone down and rubbed his eyes. "I'm fine..i didn't even realize I had tears running down my face." The inventor muttered.

Thoufh he felt a hand on his shoulder, looking up to see Zena crouching infront of him. "Cyrus. It's rare for you to cry. Whats on your mind...?" She asked softly to him, though Cyrus had to hold back from telling them the truth about the liftle connection himself and Acronix had. "It's complicated. Though I don't wan't to say anything about it..." he said quietly. Which Zena nodded in understanding. She got up amd removed her hand from his shoulder. "If you ever need to talk to someone. You can always come to me. Or well. I can come to you in the matter. I won't judge you or your problems. All it would matter is that if you're ok." She said quietly to him, so that only he would hear.

Cyrus could only nod..

Its been quite a while, but things changed suddenly. The city wasn't there anymore, more of a town to say the least. Cyrus blanked off fromnwhat everyone was complaining about and looked to find his watch, but it was not there. "My watch! What happened-" "your watch...doesn't exist...because your technology...never happened....no computers...no telephones...no-" ray was trying to explain best he could from the rapid aging. But was interupted.

"Zane! Zena!" The ninjas yelled out. Realizing the twins was no longer with them, but merely metal that look human now. Jay gotten really upset by his boyfriend not responding to him. Even cole was upset, but he tried his best not to show it. But of course it failed. Ray was getting weaker by the minute, the yesterday's tea that krux makes him drink surly was wearing off quicker than expected.

Cyrus wheeled himself away from the ninjas for the time being. So much was going on that is was starting to become too much for the inverter. He tried to calm himself down, but he finally let out a sob. Of course he was hurt. Loosing two more people he cared about. He already knew pixal was gone if they both was never to exist. Feeling like he had lost practically everything, someone that actually loved him for who he was, his daughters, his technology, even two who he pratically adopted as his own.

Even as much as he didn't want the ninjas to see him cry, Amyiah walked over to the inventor and gave him a hug, herself was pretty upset for loosing her best friend, but she didn't like to see anyone else cry. "It's ok to let things out Cyrus...." she muttered, though she never really took her own advice. Cyrus nodded before he returned the hug, though it was a bit awkward for him in this position. "Can...i tell you something...? Something...that i don't want the others to know..." he muttered to her.

Amyiah was a bit shocked at what he said, but she nodded. "Of course. What's on your mind cyrus?" She asked to him. Cyrus had to think this out throughly. "Well...ive falling for someone for a while now...and due to all of this, I'm not sure if I could see them again....since we barely even spent time with each other....i just...want to know how to cope with this aching feeling." He admitted to her. Thoufh Amyiah seemed surprised. "Well..." she started.

"If you do end up not seeing them again, its best to draw memories of them out of your head. Or else it would hurt you more. But I wonder. Who has caught your eye?" She said to him quietly. That made him nervous. "Well...you may...be angered with me if I say.." he looked down as he said. "But i won't...", Amyiah said, sadden. "Its...Acronix..." Cyrus admitted. He waited for her to yell but it never came. Instead he felt her hug him tighter. "I wont tell anyone. I'm surprised you found something in him. Even if garmadon tells us that Acronix never wanted to be bad." She admitted.

Though they noticed his watch had appeared back on his wrist and the phone back on his lap. Already knowing the past been altered back. Cyrus turned on Acronix's phone and looked at the photos he took. Which not minding if amyiah sawn. "I love the landscapes. Who took them?" She asked. "Acronix did...he...gave me his phone before he left...he knew there was no chance in returning.." he muttered, letting tears slip.

"Hey now...its ok...atleast he wanted you to remember him." Amyiah said softly to the inventor. Who nodded with a slightly forced smile.

Though. He wonder if there is a chance for Nixy to return.
