"Yes, my minions create and destroy!!!" Illusion Master shouted. He was making a machine, and he needs his minions to take parts from the city and bring them to him. He ordered them to make the machine that might ruin the timeline. It was dangerous, but he still risked it. He would risk anything to save his family, to bring them back again. No one understood how he felt, so he showed it by becoming a supervillain. Now you may or may not ask how he became a supervillain, but that's a story for another time.

"It feels like we've been searching forever," Riker whined.

"It's been five minutes," Myles said.

"Still," Riker whined.

"It's ok Riker, we already searched half the city," Nyra said.

"So that means five more minutes of searching?" Riker asked.

"Yeah, plus fighting," Blake said.

"There's no point for me to even use my powers," Riker said.

"Yes, there is!" Echo exclaimed, trying to give him hope.

"Name one reason," Riker said.

"Ummmmm," Echo said, trying to come up with a reason.

There has to be a reason they can't just have a power for fire for no reason.

"Exactly there's no reason," Riker said. He felt left out all his friends had cool superpowers and all he had was fire. 'Maybe there's no point for me to even be in this team,' he thought to himself. He spoke too soon because the next second it started freezing.

"Woah it feels like it dropped 20°," Myles said, shivering.

"Yeah, it does," Nyra said, quivering.

"Riker, there's your reason," Echo said hugging herself trying to feel warm.

"You guys are overreacting it's not even cold," Riker said.

"Maybe because you're hot," Nyra said.

"Thanks for the compliment," Riker said.

"That's not what I meant," Nyra said.

"Then what did you mean?" Riker asked.

"Since you have the power of fire you are going to feel warm," Nyra explained, sounding shaky.

"Ohhhhhh," Riker said.

"Yeahhhh now please use your power to make us warm," Nyra said.

"Ok," Riker shrugged in agreement. They sighed when they felt the warmth.

"Thanks now lets go," Echo said. A couple minutes later they found a herd of minions destroying vehicles and breaking inside of buildings.

"Woah," Blake said, looking at the broken windows.

"What happened here?" Nyra asked.

"Guys look," Myles said, pointing at a machine.

"I see you've found me," a deep voice said. They looked up to see Illusion Master.

"Actually, we you told us you were here. We didn't know you were here," Riker said.

"Riker, be quiet," Nyra whispered.

"Stating facts here," Riker said.

Blake nudged Riker's stomach and said, "Be quiet."

"Sorry," Riker whispered.

"What are you doing, Illusion Master?" Nyra asked.

"And why should I tell you?" Illusion Master asked.

"Don't tell me then, but don't think I won't find out," Nyra said.

"Wow, I'm so scared," Illusion Master said sarcastically.

Echo then burst into tears. Everyone looked at her, confused.

"Are you ok, Echo?" Myles asked.

"Yes and no," Echo responded.

"What's wrong?" Blake asked.

"My shoe is dirty," Echo cried.

"Are you serious?" Nyra asked, face palming.

"You know how important my shoes are," Echo said.

"I don't know what to do with you sometimes," Nyra sighed, face palming.

"You guys are a waste of time," Illusion Master said. "My machine is almost done, and once it's finished, no one can stop me!" Illusion Master shouted.

So it's a machine, Nyra thought. "And what exactly are you planning to do with this machine?" Nyra asked. If he won't tell me what he is building, I can trick him!

"To go back in time and save my family from my mistake," Illusion Master said.

Go back in time?! Save his family?! Mistake?! The superheroes had so many questions pacing through their head.

"What do you mean, go back in time? Isn't that going to mess up the timeline and destroy everything?!" Blake asked.

"Yes, it will, but I'm willing to destroy anything for my family," Illusion Master said.

"Even destroy people who get in my way!" Illusion Master roared and shot a ball of electricity.

"Viper, you know that plan of yours?!" Blake yelled.

"Yeah, why?!" Myles asked.

"I think it's time to put that plan to action!" Blake shouted.
