Legend Of Sunset (Updated)

Chapter 8: Blast from the Futures Past

         Steve opened his eyes, being blinded by sunlight and a nice heat radiating from it. He sat up and noticed Mine laying on his back with his arms sprawled out still clearly unconscious. Steve slowly got up rubbing his forehead from a splitting headache.

"Mine? Mine woke up..." He shook him, still rubbing his forehead trying to remember what it was from. He looked up and a rush of anger went over him. He looked at Mine, pulled his hand up, and slapped him.

"ACK! What the f....." Mine said sitting up rubbing his face and backed down after seeing Steve's face.

"F-fudge sickles..." He grinned and watched Steve stand up.

"Where are we?" He said scratching his head ignoring Mine groaning from the pain in his head.

"Wait, did you kill us!?" Mine laughed and pointed over his shoulder at the slides near them.

"Oh... where in the past."

"Nope we are in your memories. You went to the museum with her so you remember when and where she got the orb and how we can stop it to prevent this all from happening in the first place." Steve smiled and nodded in full agreement.

"I love that idea! Heck yea!" Steve started running in a random direction.

"Steve, stop! Wait for me!" He stopped and turned around and saw Mine get off the ground. The group of them flew off of the slide and started heading for the town square.

"Follow them! I mean us!" Mine said running after the group. Steve followed close behind. The city around them was the same as it was when they visited them earlier but it was just a bit cloudier then he remembered. The group of them walked towards the shops and stuff but suddenly Snowy turned and looked at a really nice building made with a Greek style of architecture.

"I want to go there! I LOVE Museums!" She said running inside without another thought. Steve watched her run inside and ran in after her. Steve ran in after himself while Mine stayed with himself.

"Steve isn't this amazing! Who knew the future could be so nice!" Steve nodded and didn't say a word to his curious sister.

'Wouldn't I usually be saying something? I would have said "Yea! I Love it here!" or "Holy cow look at that!" What was my issue...?' He thought as he followed himself through the museum.

"Let's see we have a phone? Also a laptop... why are there normal objects in here..." The other Steve shrugged and continued to follow his sister. Snowy walked by a display completely covered in a red sheet with the words "DO NOT TOUCH" on the label. She grinned at her brother.

"What's behind door number 1?!" The other Steve actually tried to intervene but with no luck Snowy pulled the sheet down bar and all. This time Steve himself tried to take the orb away before anything else could happen. Snowy picked up the orb and held it up to the lights.

"I know where to put you! Right on the shelf with the other trophies!" Steve reached in and grabbed the orb out of his sister's hands. Instantly he was noticed by Snowy himself.

"What the... Steve?" He began to panic. His breathing started getting heavy and began to sweat.

"I uhh... gotta run!" He turned around and headed for the door. Mine was standing in front of himself waving like a mad man.

"Mine! I've intervened! Help!" Steve yelled, swinging the orb around in the air. Mine looked at him and took the orb out of his hand.

"Don't tell me you took it out of your sister's hand." The other Snowy and Steve were running at them waving their hands. The other Mine unfroze and turned around to face his counterpart.

"This would be a great time to run!" Steve yelled, bolting away from the situation. Mine stayed back trying to fend off the others that pushed and shoved each other to get at him.

"Now hold on you three! Especially you fair sir! You should know how dangerous the Orb of Eternal Rest is!" The other Mine attempted to punch him and missed only to have his neck grabbed and smashed to the ground. His body flipped over and he landed on his back instantly becoming some sort of mud splashing all over Mines clothes.

"That's gross..." He said standing up watching the other two run after Steve. He brushed off his sweatshirt and ran after them looking like he was ready to rip them apart. Steve ran into an ally holding the orb still hoping he wouldn't be found. He walked to the end of the alley to the edge of the floating island looking into the void.

"Hey! Give that back!" The other Snowy yelled, turning and running into the alley. He grinned and looked and tossed the ball into the air like a baseball.

"Hey sis? Ever place a ball?" He looked around and tossed the orb over his shoulder and into the void. Snowy dropped to her knees and started crying.

"It's not nice to play god you jerk!" Steve said, walking up to her slowly. She sat still looking down at the ground.

"Uh.. Snowy?" He said still creeping closer to her. She looked up slowly with the scariest most murder looking face he had ever seen.

"It's not nice to ruin other people's dreams!" She retorted, pulling out a random knife. She slowly began to float above the ground hovering a couple feet over the pavement. Steve nervously laughed and started freaking out.

"Uhh hehe... yea can I get a rain check?" He said slowly backing towards the edge. She floated towards him faster and faster, swishing the knife through the air like a toy knife.

"Steve, it's time to DIE!!" She said flying directly at him. He stumbled back and fell over the edge. He grabbed the edge with both hands ignoring the fact he was hanging over an endless void. The distorted Snowy threw the knife over the edge smiling creepily at him.

"This is even better! Thanks for making this so easy for me Steve" She stepped on one of his hands grinding it into his hand. He let go of the unbearable pain. She lifted her foot over his other hand laughing rubbing her hands together.

"This is so fun isn't it? Just you and me. No Mine to ruin the fun between a brother and his sister. Right Steve?" He became fed up at the name and snapped.

"Know how Snowy this is new for you... and I want you to know one thing." He pulled himself up a bit from the adrenaline. He got up and grabbed her foot using himself as an anchor.

"Never EVER call me Stevee" He said pulling her down causing both of them to fall into the void. The island blew away in the wind like dandelion seeds during a soft spring storm. Sounds around him went quiet as well and he quickly felt a nice warm sensation come over him the farther he fell. Everything around him was fading into darkness and he fell into a deep sleep.
