I had no choice but to travel through time, to change the present reality and make a different timeline, a timeline where everything will be fixed. I didn't know where to go, or when to go. I had no idea what to do to fix this, I only have enough fuel for one trip. I was clueless and helpless. I only had a clue to base upon, it was the year in which the element was in production, both in earth and in zxen, the year of 1997. I knew this year, but I didn't know where it was, I could only assume.
I thought to myself that I could go to the station in which Mike and Ruby's dad went to work in hopes that they'll believe me when I tell them my story, and if that's not enough, I'll show them the gun. The bomb that destroyed our planet wasn't an issue, for it would be in action roughly 20 more years into the future from then. If all of that were to work out, some way, only I would have any recollection of any of this, for the people that I experienced this with is an entirely new set of people for I had entered the past and if altered would be made into a new timeline.
I was also worried about making paradoxes and the so-called butterfly effect that one little thing could cause worldwide catastrophic events, or you could himder your own birth and not exist, but if you did not exist that would make another timeline in which you are not existent, and that would not change the fate of everybody else for you are only one in a massive population which would still be cut in half by the bomb, but the lives that will be affected are the lives that you have interacetd with and have made an influence on. This is because when you existed, their decisions might have been different in your influence and presence.
These problems would circle my mind every time I would use this gun. I know I can fix all of this, I just don't know how. I could maybe go back to the time we saw the oasis, amd stop myself from entering the camp. Although that would work, it'd be selfish of me to only include my team even though I am well capable of preventing the bomb itself.
All of these important things to consider lingering my brain, "fuck it", I told myself. I was pressured stressed as every wrong thing for the last 8 years can be corrected if can do this one thing right. Scared, I made my decision, I went to a time where everything was simple and normal for me, to the time I was born. I was sure the wars hasn't started then because then, everybody was still either working together to make minor changes, or nothing. Our global warming wasn't at it's peak yet to be considered a threat to us. From that time, I can freely seaech for Mike, Ruby's dad, amd people who can help me once I show them the working versuon of the portal gun.
Once I decided to go with this, I looked one last time at everything around me, "I don't want this, I never did, and with this I can fix everything wrong today", I whispered my self before entering the portal. This risk was sigbificant to me because, I only had enough for one trip. This decision would decide the fate of the victims of the Big Bang 8 years ago.
Once I entered the portal, I looked around, a beautiful perfect world, free of nuclear fallout, free of conflict, free of suffering, death and demise. I cried, and sat on the ground, I wanted the crew to see this, of what could've been if the right decision was made. But it was no time for that, I wiped my tears away, stood up.
I was at the school playground of my preschool. I didn't know any of yhese people for at this time, I should be at the hospital being born. I should find Mike, he would know how to stop the bomb 13 years into the future, or at least give me more fuel.
