Skulduggery Pleasent: Reversed

Part 4

[OK guys so this morning I thought about what Era's motives could be. I was like that could he achieve with this power, and why would he want Emilia Conscience? And OMG the result was awesome!! >:D now I actually have a slight idea of where I'm going with this story :D This will be fun. Also tell me if you saw this one coming!]

Ghastly was adjusting Skulduggery’s suit to fit him better. Skulduggery’s suit was made for a man with no flesh so it was a bit tight on someone who did have flesh. Ghastly was muttering to himself about the measurements when Valkyrie walked in. 
“How’s it going?” she asked
“Slowly” responded Ghastly, “I’ve already cut the material so there’s only so much I can do. And we don’t have time for me to make an entire new suit. Although I might just have to.” 
“Just do what you can” said Skulduggery from the corner, he was reading a book on the history of the war. Skulduggery was trying to catch up on his knowledge. Skulduggery was also wearing some of Ghastly’s clothes till Ghastly could adjust his own. Skulduggery put the book down. 
“So Valkyrie, I’m still not sure of how I’m here in your time. Do you think that you can tell me exactly what happened?” asked Skulduggery. Ghastly could almost hear Skulduggery’s mind ticking in that skull of his. Valkyrie told Skulduggery what happened and relayed as much detail as possible. Skulduggery nodded and listened to all which she had to say. 
“So this Era Connive, you said that you were looking into him for a case, what for?” asked Skulduggery
“He was reported to be seen with a missing person, Amelia Conscience” answered Valkyrie
“This Amelia, do you think that he did the same thing to her as he did to me?” 
“I don’t know. We knew that he had time manipulation magic, we just never imagined it to this extent” said Valkyrie
Skulduggery nodded “I’ve never head of something like this before. What about you Ghastly?”
Ghastly shook his head, “No sorry, I’ve never heard of it either” Ghastly turned to Valkyrie, “Can you call up the sanctuary and have them look for a younger Emilia Conscience, and get Ravel to look up on time manipulation magic” 
“Sure” said Valkyrie as she pulled out her mobile and let the room. 
“What are you thinking Skulduggery?” asked Ghastly
“I’m just wondering, what someone could do with that kind of magic” said Skulduggery sounding slightly distant.  

Era Connive finally got out of his car. He’d spent hours driving making sure to put plenty of distance between him and the detectives. He had stopped at an old farm, his old farm and slid inside the barn. 
“It’s just too bad that I couldn’t have stayed around to see how my time reversal magic went” said Era to himself, “I would have liked to see if I killed that detective or if I managed to make him living again. I actually do want to see what the skeleton’s face looks like!” Era strolled through the barn looking over rotting corpses. Some corpses looked like parts of them were years old while other parts only looked a few weeks old. Some looked only days old but still had that decade old stench, they were rotting on the inside. 
Era stopped in front of Amelia Conscience who was shackled to the walls of the barn, and had her mouth duct taped shut. When she saw him she backed against the wall, trying to get away. Era bobbed down in front of her. 
“Hello dearie! You know today I met detective Pleasant and detective Cain. They were looking for you” said Era to Amelia. Amelia didn’t respond, she just curled in on herself. “But don’t worry I took care of detective Pleasant, just like I did with you” as if on cue Amelia tried to scream in pain as she flickered and became her younger self. The younger Amelia looked just as terrified. She shouldn’t have remembered Era because she was from the past. And yet she remembered him. It was one of the reasons that she was a failed experiment by Era. She wasn’t supposed to be shifting between ages, she should have stayed younger or died in the reversing process. Era smiled that’s why he kept her, because while she was a fail in some respects and yet he had managed to reverse a living person without killing them. Even though she was in agony each time she shifted. Era didn’t care, it was fun to watch her squirm. Amelia flickered again and cried out as she changed back to her actual age. 
“You know, I’m going to try one more test to see if I’m ready” said Era, “Then if all turns out well then you’ll have some company” then Era looked around as the corpses and grinned, “Well company that can talk back. Then I’ll just have to get my hands on the remains of Mevolent and his generals. And then I’ll reverse the wrong that has been done to them” said Era with a wolfish grin.

[So what do you think of Era and his goal? XD I dont't know why I didn't think of this sooner! Also does anyone want either Ravel or Dexter in this FanFic? (And I mean more than being mentioned) If you want them one of them in here than just say so! 
Sorry that this is currently all talk and no action, I will have people do things soon ... ish]
[Also if you pick up any errors just tell me]
