3rd Person POV

"Not this guy again." Snart says as Chronos shoots at the ship.

"Captain, Chronos has breached the starboard hatch." Gideon announces.

"How is that possible?" Stein asks.

"Clearly he's received some new toys from his Time Master friends since our last encounter." Rip says. Rip runs to the controls. "Gideon! Seal the bulkheads from here--" He's blasted away.

Chronos is on the ship.

Brooklyn grabs her bow and nocks an arrow, shooting at Chronos while Jax adn Stein talk.

"Grey, come on!" Jax yells. "Let's do this!"

"If we merge on the Waverider, it could destroy the entire ship!" Stein exclaims.

"Um, are you not paying attention to what Chronos is doing?" Jax asks.

"Shut it!" Brooklyn yells, continuing to shoot at Chronos and grabbing another arrow "I don't care what you do, do it fast! I got three left!"

"Fall back!" Rip yells. "Get to the Jumpship!"

The team starts running.

"Hey, come on!" Jax says, him and Brooklyn running side by side.

"You sure it was a good idea leaving the Terminator on the bridge?" Snart asks.

"Gideon has lockdown protocols which--" Rip starts.

"Have been overridden, Captain." Gideon says. "Chronos is utilizing superior Time Master technology. I cannot countermand his orders."

They stop at an intersection, the ship rocking.

"He's timejumping the ship." Rip says.

"The other ladies will be left in 1958." Snart says.

Brooklyn has her back pressed to the wall, her last arrow in hand.

"What about Ray?" Jax asks.

"Like I said." Snart says.

"Let's go!" Rip yells.

They all start running.

"We have to stop him!" Rip yells. "Gideon, open the doors on my mark. Get to the Jumpship and escape."

"We are not abandoning you." Stein says.

"No, you are obeying a direct order from your captain." Rip says. "Now, Gideon."

Rip runs into the bridge, shooting.

Brooklyn runs in behind him, Snart with her.

They fight Chronos.

Rip gets knocked down.

Brooklyn uses her last arrow.

She throws her bow aside and runs up, pulling a dagger from her boot.

Chronos hits her with a blast and she crumples to the floor.

FIRESTORM is on the bridge.

They look around, there's nothing happeing.

"Oh, hey, hey, hey." Jax says, running over to Rip and Brooklyn.

"Oh, God." Rip groans, getting help up. "Where's Chronos?"

They help Brooklyn up as Gideon talks.

"He absconded with Mr. Snart on the Jumpship. I'm sorry, Captain." Gideon says.

"Ow." Brooklyn groans.

"Why would Chronos take Snart?" Jax asks.

"Gideon, can you track them?" Rip asks.

"We have a more pressing matter." Gideon says.

"Strap yourselves in." Rip says, seriously.

Stein, Brooklyn, and Jax strap in.

"What's going on?" Brooklyn asks,

"Chronos has sabotaged the navigation system. Unless we can find a way to alter the course, we'll be trapped in the Temporal Zone for all time." Rip says. "Gideon--"

"I cannot override Chronos' commands." Gideon says.

Rip tears out wires.

"What did you do?" Stein asks.

"Rebooted Gideon." Rip says. "Until she's fully operational, we're free-falling through time."

The ship starts falling. Everyone yells as they fall.

***

The waverider stops falling.

Brooklyn springs up and runs to the trashcan, emptying her stomach.

"Jesus Christmas!" Brooklyn exclaims, out of breath from the free falling.

"Shiby-washo, sara-so-so." Stein gibbers.

"You are suffering from linguistic disorientation." Rip says. "It's a side effect of such a severe time jump."

"I can't hear anything." Jax says.

"It'll pass." Rip says.

"What?" Jax asks.

"Hey." Brooklyn calls out.

"Side effect." Rip says, without even looking and pointing back to her. "Gideon, status update?"

"I am detecting a time beacon signaling the Waverider. But then again, this is 1960." Gideon says.

"1960?" Rip asks.

"The temporal navigation system was compromised and did its best to return us as close as possible to 1958." Gideon says.

"Salypso changa." Stein says.

The waverider lands to pick up Kendra and Ray.

"Sorry we're late." Rip tells them as they board.
