The Rise Of ThunderBlaze

Ch.24 Back Track

(Warning- Panic Attack, only in the beginning, it ends soon)

I was uncontrollably shaking. i could hear a muffled voice, but it was hard to concentrate. All I saw was black. Was I dead? I-I can't be! I didn't finish what I started! "C-...Ar-...Ok-.." Was all heard. I felt a hand go on my shoulder. I.could see again as I felt who or what ever touched my shoulder. It was..Ivan? "Follow my breathing..." He said, taking a breath. "In..and out..." I then did as told, and calmed down. Following each breath. It was something that helped people like me, when it came to panic attacks. I looked at Ivan, then at the ground.

"Better?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah....thanks.." I said quietly. I didn't know what to do. Ivan stood up, and so did I. I kept my gaze to the ground, not wanting to look at Ivan after that. "If you want to talk about it, you can. But you don't have to.." Ivan said, in a calming manner. "Later.." I mumbled. I wanted to talk about it, but I felt like a bother. I didn't want to be in the way. I didn't want to seem week, though it already seemed late for that.

He nodded, in an understanding way. I sighed then took out the crystal as I sat down on the bed. I stared at it. "That was...your mothers, by the way. Just thought, I'd tell you..." Ivan said, trying to start...wait.."What?" I asked, trying to see if I heard him right. "Yeah..before she disappeared, she gave it to me....before the kingdoms hated each other..and such.. she was a good person Coda......" He said. ".....yeah, she was.." I mumbled quietly.

We talked a bit more. But then the conversation led up to my panic attack. "So...want to talk about it now? It's best not to...bubble things up.." I knew Ivan was right. "You won't be a bother..." Ivan said. I slightly nodded, and started to explain a little. Leaving most of the things out. I just didn't know what to do. Ivan seemed to notice however. I ended up saying everything, about why I had panic attacks. All I didn't say was that I felt like I was a bother all of the time. "Coda...your no bother.....when you need help..just ask...these things are important...." Ivan and I talked alot. He also said he'd try to help me. I felt as if we where becoming more like friends...and not enemy's.

Hours passed and Ivan left to his room about 20 minutes ago, and I've glitched atleast 2-3 times. I had to fix everything before then. But how? Everything kept changing and it just won't work the way I thought it would. I needed Kyro for this. No, wait. I don't need him. I need to be independent. I keep depending on others. I'm hopeless! I huffed and looked at the bottle on the night stand next to the bed. I then looked at the ceiling, as I laid on the bed. What am I going to do? Am I going to be stuck here? I can't stay here...or my body will disappear and I'll die.

I stayed up all night, thinking of what I was going to do. Do I create another...wait. THATS IT! Now that I made..or at least I think I made peace with Ivan, I create another time machine, put the bottle in a slot on the machine, and I bring Ivan.. OH MEH GOSH IM A GENIUS! I hopped out of the bed and started to write things down, making the blue prints. My eyes glimmered and shined in the moons light, as I worked infront of the window. Hours passed. I smiled to myself as I looked at the finished prints. I was hoping Ivan would agree to this. This was the last option for now. I had to try. I looked at the time, 3:30. I groaned, tried..

After I finished, I went back onto the bed, starring at the wall. I was going to get more sleep, but I just couldn't. I had so much on my mind. I groaned and gave up, rolling out of bed once more. I looked at the time. 3:35. I sighed, and decided to gather the materials I needed. I snuck out of the room, and tried to stay quiet, so j wouldn't get caught.
                       -Time Skip-
An hour or so passed, and I could only find a few of the materials I needed. I headed back to the room, but as I did so, Ivan came out of his room. -Crap..Crap! Crap!- I thought. "What are you doing..?" Ivan asked. "Uh, w-well...I was...." Ivan cut me off. "Taking things. Without asking...." He said. I sighed, "It's for.. something I'm working on." I said. "We'll talk about it later..." Ivan said, shooing me back to the room. I walked into the room, then put everything down.

It was now 10:00 am. I heard a knock at the door, and I mumbled, "Come in..". Ivan walked in, and said "So...what did you need those...things...for?" I stood up and walked to the desk, showing Ivan the blue prints. I also explained what I was planning. He seemed to understand. "Well...I could help you...but next time..please ask..." Ivan said. I nodded. "Okay...heh...."

We went down to a lab, with the potion and the materials, and started to get to work. I kept the crystal in a little box, in my pocket. As we worked, I noticed something was off, with Ivan. What was wrong? Did... something happen, did I do something wrong? I wasn't sure, but I was going to fine out, and hopefully help him. "Coda...you there?" Ivan said, waving a hand in my face. I shook my head, getting the thoughts away. "Huh? Oh yeah.." I said. "What?" I asked. "We're almost done. Where is the bottle?" Ivan said. "Oh. Right." I handed the potion to Ivan. "I almost made these. This should help us when we travel back." Ivan said, and handed me a watch like thing. He put his on, as I did to. He turned a knob on the side, setting it to something. He did the same with mine.

It was the moment of Truth. It was finished. I took the crystal out of my pocket. I then powered the machine on. Ivan took the potion, and opened it up. I gave the crystal to Ivan, and he put it in the bottle, and shook it. It mixed together, and activated the potion. "Alright. I believe we are ready." Ivan said. I nodded and put the machine on full power. Me and Ivan then stood infront of the machine. "Let's do this." I said.
