Star Fairy Chronicles III

Chapter 11

As soon as they arrived back to the Doodle Sphere, a new path had opened up for them. A bridge made of pure light connected from the island they were standing on straight to the gateway to Timeline Omega.

"Woah," Blue said with amazement, "So this is what happens when all three artifacts are brought together."

"Watch your step as you cross," Celios instructed, "If you fall, you'll fall pretty much indefinitely until someone pulls you out of the time loop."

"Wait, did you just say a time loop?!" Elizabeth said with surprise, "Isn't that like, incredibly dangerous?"

"It's perfectly safe," Celios replied, "For me, that is." Elizabeth's face went blank as they travelled across the bridge.

"It's not so bad if you don't look down," Percy acknowledged. Emile briefly looked down and squealed.

"I wouldn't have done that if you didn't plant that thought into my mind!" he snapped, "What is wrong with you?"

"Calm down," Rosie said, "You have all been through much worse than this." They nod their heads in agreement and continued walking. As soon as they arrived at the gateway, Celios stood in front of it and held her staff out.

"Give me a moment," she said, "It will only be a second." The others waited in silence as seemingly nothing happened.

"Um, are you sure you're doing this right?" Ink asked, "You know we don't need a passcode or something to enter." Celios face palmed and lowered her staff.

"I forgot," she realized, "There's security within the timeline. It's something that we changed about it. Come with us everyone." She and Ink then walked through the Gateway, followed by the rest of the group.

As soon as they arrived through the gateway, a gray figure reminiscent of Henry was standing there blankly.

"Hello," he said in monotone, "Welcome to Timeline Omega. How may I be of your service? End of Statement."

"Who is that?" Blue asked.

"That's Neutral Henry," Celios replied, "He's sort of like the black sheep of the timeline."

"More like the blank sheep," Percy joked, "Sweet! I can still throw shade." Layla giggled slightly.

"Neutral Henry," Celios began, "With your kind permission, we would like to enter the rest of the timeline."

"Permission Granted," Neutral Henry replied, "Have a good time, have a bad time. It's nothing to see you again. End of Conversation." Celios then led them to the rest of the timeline.

"What's his deal?" Elizabeth asked with annoyance, "He was a bit rude to us."

"He's been stripped of his personality," Ink replied, "It happens when the timeline ends or gets destroyed, well, if there's survivors, that is."

"Oh," Elizabeth said, "That's a bit unfortunate."

"I do have a question," Rosie said, "How many of these alternate versions of us do you keep here?"

"I have one alternate version of each of you," Celios answered, "You've met Neutral Henry, but there's also Disco Blue, Lizard Rosie, Delta Emile, Reaper Willow, Fell Elizabeth, Outer Percy, and Genocide Layla. The latter one unfortunately died in their own timeline."

"Probably a good thing," Layla remarked, "I don't want to see a Genocide version of myself anytime soon." Everyone stopped and looked outward at the beautiful view of the timeline. The sky was pure white and the fields were filled with fresh grass. Several humans, monsters, and Star Fairies lived in harmony with each other.
