Chereads / Enigma ;the beginning of the end. / Chapter 8 - DEALING WITH THE PAST

Chapter 8 - DEALING WITH THE PAST

The "Spies" Intrusion and camera had been dealt with.

Leah had tampered with the camera's microchip and fiddled the transition process.

They would still get transmitted to but every transmission was a planned play.

The atmosphere in the room was tense.

It was like something really big was about to happen.

Actually something big was going to take place.

This was one of Leah's secret labs, God knows how many more she had.

It kind of

seemed spooky like with all the science stuff going on.

Sizzling objects on platforms, timers sounding, spinning stuffs and a whole lot of bustling stuffs.

It was cool in a spooky way.

And amusing too.

There this machine ,it was quite small.

Leah had ordered them not to talk but to be telepathic.

They could send message by transmitting brain impulses through the small unusual rod attached to their scalp beneath their hair mass.

It was attached by Leah.

Leah said Zen could pick out odd sound waves from odd and off locations.

Zen could trace such pattern especially when it kept coming repeatedly from a point or particular direction.

So no sounds.

Just think.

" What is that for".

It was Jay.

It took a few seconds for the others rods to get the message ,Leah got it first since it was directed to her.

" That's the time machine".

She thought back.

" Why's it so small?".

That was from Kira, Sia ,Jay and Aimèè.

Leah got Sia's thought first.

They all wanted to chuckle.

They did so in their heads and heard each others chuckle.

Leah made them wear a sound silencer .

It silenced their sound by being able to sense when the frontal and temporal lobes were ready to divulge and send information to the broca's area to the wernicke's area to the arcuate fasciculus so that information could be formed in the vocal folds which allows air from the lungs to pass or vibrate to make sounds .

It stops the formation of sounds.

It diverted the information gotten by the frontal and temporal lobe to the rod they wore which transmit what was seen or thought by comnected rods.

" Told you'twill come in handy" .

It was Leah was talking of the silencer.

" Yeah, Why's the machine small".

" It's like a time machine and a transporter".

" I would love to explain but we really have to focus on what's on".

" Maybe later, we do the explaining".

They could feel each other agreeing to what was being said.

" Yeah someone's gat to make things right".

It was Sia.

Leah looked to Kira.

" It's time honey".

She told her.

Kira nodded.

Leah handed her a bag collecting it ,it became invisible.

" It contains everything you need".

Kira opened it ,It was just a transporter.

" I know".

Leah read her thoughts.

" As long as it is connected to the time machine and transporter".

She pointed to the small machine.

" You can get any thing you want from the present by just thinking of it".

" Your orders would be immediately processed".

" And coming back ?".

Kira asked .

" Whenever you're ready".

Sentiments filled everyone.

" I'll set the machine to an hour before".

" You'll meet yourself in the past".

" You have to save both the baby and yourself in the past".

Kira knew this was going to be hard.

Really hard.

" What if i don't?".

" What if you do?"

Leah asked her.

" I deserve to know the risks".

" I don't know what could happen but it could be really dangerous ".

" Really bad".

" Does that help?".

" No, Send me back".

Kira said finally.

She was sweaty.

She was anxious and nervous.

Leah wasn't helping.

Leah turned on the machine .

The radiation was blazing ,producing enough energy for the time travel.

As Kira was about to step into the portal...

" Wait!" .

It was Leah .

She rushed to her and hugged her.

" I love you, please come back ".

Kira encircled her with her arms.

" I love you too, I'll be back".

" Take this".

She gave her a strap.

" It's a teleporter".

" Yes a transporter,strap it on your wrist".

" That way you acn jump through places and avoid really bad situations".

" It can't be pulled off easily".

Kira straped it on immediately.

" Goodbye".

Sai, Aimèè and Jay all thought goodbyes and hugged and Sia even shed a tear.

Sentiments over....

" I'm setting back to one hour before the event".

" That was exactly 11:55 am ".

" So I'm sending you in at 10:55 am".

" You can stand in the pathway for transmission".

Kira stood at the pathway.

She noticed Leah didn't want to look up.

Finally she activated the transmission.

Kira started disappearing gradually.

From down to up.

" For heavens sake Kira please don't screw up".

" You're our last chance".

" You're Earth's last hope".

Her eyes were clouded with tears and so was Kira.

Kira nodded and disappeared.

Completely gone.

She was no longer there .

Jay waved his hand around the pathway where she had stood.

She was no longer there.

" So she's in the past right like now?".

He asked.

No one answered.

" I get it".

" Something i can't feel cause I'm a guy".

" C'mon She's goanna do just fine".

" You watch and see".

Sia was already red.

It was like she was trying to suppress an outburst.

Jay knew.

He quickly got a jar of water and poured it on her . It was freezing cold.

But it worked ,she piped down.

" Thanks".

" Any time".

" If you guys don't mind I'll be watching some movie".

He said and walked away.

Like nothing happened.

Kira was rebuilding in another world.

A world that smelt like her past.

It smelt of eighteen years .

It smelt of hospital and patients.

She heard crys and wails.

He could be one of them.

Zen could be coming to get her.

He could be on his way.

He could be there .

Leah may have made a mistake.

She may have come in too late.

She looked around her ,this was the same hospital alright.

But to her, it still seemed different.

There was something missing.

Something odd.

Then she saw it.

The ambulance was just arriving .

She was right on time .

She wanted to rush to the ambulance.

She stopped right in her track, She hadn't thought out a plan.

She stopped to think .

She shouldn't strike now.

She should wait till the baby gets out ,then She would transport them to wherever.

The plan seemed so simple.

Wait!.

Should she save Kiara!.

Should she save herself in the past, she hadn't asked Leah.

She was perturbed.

Then she remembered.

She could talk to Leah through the communicator, It was one of the things that Leah had put in her bag.

She remembered she was in the open.

She went into hiding.

She didn't want to take any risk, She decided to communicate through telepathy.

She however wondered how possible it was for telepathy to occur when there was shift in time.

The difference in time could cause a difference in feedback.

She however tried .

It was the safest option.

She still had a few hours ,actually an hour before the baby comes.

" Leah if you can hear me, Do i have to save me".

She thought aloud.

**************

" Jay, come over".

Sia screamed to Jay.

Jay jogged over.

" What's going on".

" Look at this".

She pressed buttons on air.

Displays like maps appeared.

" Look at this ".

" Yeah I'm looking at it".

Jay said unenthusiastic.

" Be serious" She nugged at him.

" See this pattern".

Jay put his arms in his pockets.

" Yeah you've asked like a thousand times".

She ignored the sarcasm.

" Seems like Kira got to the past safely".

Now that was of interest to Jay.

He nodded.

" I think this is her brain pattern moving ,trying to tell us something".

"Woah, She's communicating from her brain, now thats some crazy stuff".

Sia crossed her arms and gave Jay a "tired" look.

" So can you read the patterns".

Jay asked excitedly.

" I mean you said they might be Kira's brain impulses releasing thoughts".

" something about kira trying to tells us something ".

" Mtcheeeewwww".

Sia hissed.

" It was a mistake calling you".

She lamented obviously annoyed.

When Jay noticed she was pained, He became less talkative .

" We can use EEG to measure and record the brain patterns and then we can read it with the AI interpreter".

Sia smiled, a dimple in her left cheek showed.

" Thanks".

*****************

" What did it read".

Jay asked thirty minutes later.

"Am i to keep me alive".

" She asking if she has to save herself also".

" She has to keep herself alive in the past, else she doesn't live in the present".

" Any change you make during time travel affects how the present and future is ".

Leah tried to explain.

They had to transmit the message as brain signals and send it back to Kira ,eighteen years back ,Faster than an hour.

The past was an hour slower than ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

" How do i save myself and the baby?".

Kira asked receiving the message an hour later.

She sensed everything had calmed.

She transported a suit.

A camouflage suit.

The suit bent light waves about it making the individual seem invisible to the eyes.

She still felt unsafe after wearing it, Like as though she could still be seen.

She walked into the room, the room where kiara was, where she was eighteen years ago.

It looked quite different from when she last saw it eighteen years after in the future.

She went into the room, she saw herself on the bed. She saw the baby's head.

She knew Zen would soon come in, She had to

act fast.

She waited for the baby to come out .Zen had already arrived.

She could hear him again.

" That bastard can't live ".

" He has to die".

The doctor had gone out.

There was only one nurse.

She knew this was the right time.

She was invisible, she threw a bottle on the floor.

The nurse got distracted .

While she was trying to recover.

she held herself and the baby and teleported to an hour after.

She was still on runway.

So she teleported into two hours after.

She had found a resting place then.

She sat down with her former self.Kiara

Kiara was weak.

"Why did you save me".

" There's no time to explain".

" Zen would soon have the whole world turned upside down".

" We made a mistake once it shouldn't repeat again".

She was suprised she was talking to herself that way.

" We" meant they were one.

Herself meant that she was talking to herself from the past.

" Get them at all cost".

She heard.

" Let's go ".

She grabbed the baby and Kiara's hands.

" I'm tired".

" I don't give a damn".

" You had better get your hoofs on cause this goanna be a long run".

" I just gave birth".

" I just came from the future".

" Damn it ,you're an asshole".

" Damn it ,i was you".

They kept exchanging words as they ran, Kiara was a bit sluggish as she was half dragged.

" I have to alert Leah and the others".

" Leah if you can hear me,you need to be on guard ,be ready to teleport me back".

She remembered this was a slow process.

" Leah i need you or whoever's there to be on your guard, I might need to run in any time, Zen's already after me".

She spoke into her wristcom.

" Who the fuck are you saying gabs to".

" Someone i met after i stopped being you".

" What the hell do you mean by that".

" I mean for you to shut the hell up and run faster".

She knew she was being harsh.

" Where the fuck are you taking us to, we're just running in circle, psycho".

That got her to stop, Truly She was going nowhere, They kept moving from a pillar to another.

She stopped to take a look around her environment, It was different.

High walls stood tall obstructing sunlight,though it was not dark.

She noticed that there were tall walls.

It looked like a hologram, like tight air hled together, it was off-white, It looked very solid but when she touched it, She felt a shock.

" Arrrrggh!" She exclaimed.

" You sure do deserve it".

Her eighteen year old younger self,Kiara told her, arms crossed.

Apart, from the few body deforms that came with pregnancy, she looked perfect.

Kira looked up ,she had not quite recovered from the shock.

" I promise you'll thank me eighteen years from now".

" Gosh ,i was crazy". she lamented to herself.

" Yeah you really are?".

Kira had had enough of herself.

" Are you nuts?" She began yelling.

" Why are you so jndifferent to what's happening ?".

" Zen's after us ,the life of my baby here's at stake".

" Can't you see that for crying out loud".

" I can see nothing ".

Kiara replied indifferent.

" I don't fucking care what's gonna happen, why Zen's after us, Why he wants the child ".

" I don't give a damn about anything ".

" I still don't understand why you're helping me with ma issues".

" Ain't ya gat ya own issues?".

Kira could not stop herself, she knew she was about to get somewhere.

Kiara was already breaking down.

" Why don't you care?".

" Why'd wanna know?".

" Cause i care?".

" Why'd you care?".

" Why don't ya care?".

That was the final straw.

" Cause i have nothing to leave for".

Kiara screamed out that it shocked herself .

"Herself" meant Both Kiara and kira.

" My husband's dead".

"Zen killed him".

" No matter where we run to, He'll get to us and kill us" .

That was the thing Kira had been running away from for twenty years since Matt had died.

She was scared, she was afraid.

She was frightened, she had Fear.

" Now what do we have here?".

She knew this voice from any where , It was Zen.

" I see you're trapped".

She heard again.

He couldn't see him, like He was invisible.

" You motherfucker, I hate you".

Kira knew This was Zen from her time not Zen of eighteen years ago.

The walls had to be something new in tech.

She knew time travel was possible but then her only thought was for her to get the baby to her world, she didn't mind if She couldn't make it.

she would count it as a sacrifice.

He gripped the baby tightly to herself .

" Did you really think you could beat me at my own game".

" What did you think of me, an idiot?".

" Was really hoping you were one ".

" If i were you i won't blab my mouth".

" I'll keep shut and face my fate cause you definitely know there'll be no mercy".

" I wasn't expecting mercy from a wretch like you".

All the while , Kira had the conversation transmitting directing to Leah.

She was hoping Leah could get the portal open so She could pass through.

Zen also had his mind on the child , He knew the child must not live, thr child had to die else He would have to leave Earth.

Which He didn't want to.

There was a slight Earthquake ,the ground below tumbled a bit.

Kira held on to the child.

The ground around her opened up and giant holograms of horrible villians and creepy creatures came out.

Zen had sent them to tear her and the child to pieces and He knew she could not fight an hologram cause her hands passed right through them.

She remembered the transporter and tried to leave. " pretoria" She said to the transporter.

" No no no, there ain't no teleporting over here".

" Kira your wristcoms and all can't save you neither can Leah".

The holograms were chasing her about the maze trying to get hold of her, She kept doging and avoiding them sometimes she went right through them.

Somehow it made her remember that dream ,it seemed as if she had super speed.

" What did Zen mean by Leah couldn't save her". She could not help but wonder.

" Leah cannot break into the walls of this maze to create a portal you can pass through and I'm guessing you've realized you can't get out".

His words were scornful and Kira wished at that time that She knew where Zen was , so She could punch him real hard in the face and tell him how stupid he was.

As she thought about it.

A hologram that looked just like a beast stretched a long creepy claw and grasped at her, She missed by a notch.

The claws marked her.

She knew there were two long marks on her back, they were hideous marks, she realised.

Part of sacrifice, she tried to console herself , she tightened her grip on the baby even more.

She could not keep up any more, she had to think of something.

" Zen why hiding away".

" Why don't you come out and fight yourself ".

She called out to space as she narrowed an edge and avoided two hideous monsters from the front and back.

" Don't even try, it's not goanna work".

Zen told her.

" Yes, it won't work especially when you're scared of a little harmless kid".

" Don't push me ,Kira".

Zen sounded angry.

" Oops sorry ,its not my fault you're scared a little baby".

" Crying pants Zen".

" I wish i could have this on video so oneday , people come to find out their ruler was a weakling who took pleasure in chasing little kids cause He was scared they would beat him oneday".

" Can you imagine how fast the news will spread so fast on the deep web and the dark web".

" Don't push me, Kira, you're daring me"

" Now what will make the perfect headline".

" Zen, Ultimate lord of Earth scared of little babe".

" No serious Zen ,this is crazy ".

" I mean how can you be scared of a little kid born few hours ago".

" So you're painless receptors still male you scared huh?".

" So you have phobia for newly born babes,right".

Zen had had enough.

He came right in front of Kira to tear her apart.

He now had telecommunisis ,He could control things with his mind.

The walls that created the maze fell through because Zen's mind was now busy doing something else.

Controlling the maze and the monsters was such a big responsibility that even Zen with his double brain couldn't handle it and be in a tensed mood.

Kira figured that when He scorned her and She narrowed the monsters, the shock from the wall was intense than it initially was.

Zen was in front of her and he flung her with the child to the ground which was when he realised that the walls had broken down.

Kira was still recovering from the throw when she realised that there was an opening portal, She knew Leah had sent it
