As they catch their breaths, the guys look around the street, Tom sees a guy almost his height with dreadlocks, a cap and baggy clothes above the street.
Tom: "Heh, that guy looks just like me! Well too bad, I'm the better version! *Smirks*"
Bill looks at the guy Tom seems to be bragging about and his eyes widen.
Bill: "Tom, that's you..."
Tom: "Huh? Wait... There's 2 of me??"
Bill looks closer and he sees another guy with him, he had short black spiky hair with bangs that covered one of his eyes, he was wearing a black t shirt, a black collar, had black nail polish and some jeans. Bill looks terrified and realizes that it's him. He remembers them walking on the same street a few hours before the show...
Bill: "That's... Us!?... Maybe this is what Elise told us about... We shouldn't make contact with our already existing selves from the timeline... They're still here because it's the past!"
Gustav: "Wait... that actually kinda makes sense..!"
Tom: "*sigh* It would've been nice to warn past me about what is gonna happen to him..."
The guys know that they can't get distracted right now, they still need to find out why the stage crashed, and they need to do it without making contact with past them, because if they do they'll get teleported back to Elise.
Only 3 hours left till the show... Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav try to be as discreet as possible while following their past forms, it wasn't that easy and they've almost been caught a few times but they managed to make it in time for the show.They now stand behind the stage to remain unnoticed and to see everything that's happening. It's already the half of the song, now Tom's guitar and Bill's mic stopped working. A short while after that the earthquacke starts as the stage gets destroyed. The boys try to get out to not get hurt, but they also needed to not be seen.
As they try to get out, Bill sees that giant robot coming from far away again as his past self tries to get his arm out. Tom sees it too and is shocked.
Suddenly past Bill sees Bill as they walk away from the stage and they make eye contact. Shortly after, they get teleported back to Elise's workshop and he starts questioning them.
Elise: "So what did you find out? What happened??"
Tom: "Robots... giant robots!!" He says panicked.
Bill is now scared about the fact that what he saw back then was real... it was indeed a giant robot.
Gustav: "I'm actually scared right now... why the fuck were there giant robots in Berlin??"
Elise: "Okay okay, calm down... So you're saying you saw giant robots? That's what caused the destruction??"
Georg: "Yes, the earthquake started because of them..."
Elise thinks a bit about what the guys saw.
Elise: "Hmm... we still don't have enough clues... why were there giant robots all of a sudden? It just doesn't make sense..."
Tom: "Maybe it's someone sending them?"
Bill: "Could be... but why would someone send giant robots to Germany?"
Tom: "I don't know... secret reasons?"
The clock hits 10 pm, everyone is obviously tired from the whole adventure they had...
Tom just lays in his bed, worried for what is gonna happen next. He can't even play the electric guitar here, they don't exist. What if they'll have to live in this world forever like this? What is his mom doing? She's probably searching for him and Bill... What if he'll just be... "useless"? What if there will be no more... "Tokio Hotel"? These were the thoughts crossing his mind. He just can't help but want to go back to the things as they used to be...
Suddenly Bill enters the bedroom.
Bill: "Tom, dinner is ready!!"
Tom: "Just eat without me, I'm not hungry..." He says that as his stomach growls.
Bill: "Your stomach says otherwise..."
Tom: "Just go and eat with the others and leave me alone... okay?"
Bill is a bit worried about his brother's sudden mean behaviour, but he goes to eat dinner, leaving Tom alone in the bedroom. He doesn't want to admit it but he's just as worried as his brother about what's gonna happen in the future.
(12 pm)
Everyone is already sleeping, but Bill, again, can't seem to fall asleep. He still wants to find out more about this whole thing, the curiosity is killing him, so he gets up from the bed and goes to Elise upstairs, trying to be quiet. By his surprise, the elf is awake too. He turns his look at Bill.
Elise: "Can't sleep either?"
Bill shakes his head in response.
Bill: "I still want to find out more about this whole mess..."
The elf gets back on his magical computer.
Elise: "I think I can help you a bit with that... I've actually managed to find out what happened after the robots incident... It's not much, but this information might settle your curiosity a little..."
Bill now seems intrigued.
Bill: "Wait, really? How?"
Elise: "*chuckles* you know... magic exists... so, are you ready?"
Bill nods in response and Elise starts the file that he managed to find.
It seems like a news report...Reporter: "Hello ladies and gentlemen, as you may or may not know, it's true. Giant robotic creatures invaded and destroyed a big part of Germany."
Bill watches the video for a while... Suddenly the next headline appears: "ROCK BAND WENT MISSING AFTER THE INCIDENT" and that catches his attention, making him flinch. He knows they're talking about them.
Reporter: "The band Tokio Hotel formed of 4 young boys went missing after the disaster. Bill Kaulitz, Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schafer are nowhere to be seen after their show was intrerupted in Berlin. The band was performing on the stage and as the robots destroyed everything they have been reported missing by the authorities. Now we would like to hear some words from Simone Kaulitz, Bill and Tom's mother..."
Bill's mother appears on screen, she looks terrified and it seems that she cried a lot.
Bill: "MOM..!!" He shouts as he's also about to cry.
Simone: "Bill and Tom... they were troublemakers but still, they're my beloved sons!! I just can't believe something like this actually happened... I hope that they are okay...!" Her voice is trembled, almost like she's about to burst in tears.
After a while the video stops and Elise turns to Bill, who's eyes start to water.
Elise: "Yeah... Pretty hard to ingest, right?"
Bill: "I... We're actually missing... and mom... " He's almost on the verge of tears now. His chest hurts from seeing the pain his mom was going through, but he tries to stay tough.
Elise: "*puts a hand on Bill's shoulder* hey... it's okay to cry... you guys have been through a lot... but remember... you will find a way, you will go through this, I know it..." He says, trying to comfort Bill and then gives him a tight hug. Bill hugs him back.
