Only time will tell (FutureShipping)

Chapter 9

I am kinda sorry for this chapter as not much was on Krux and Acronix in one of the episodes-

^Also artwork above is by me^

It was merely hours before the next time blade shows up. Who knows what's the next one. But thanks to the Borg watch Acronix has, the temperal scanner knows exactly where it's going to land. But thankfully, to Krux, that Cyrus had finished before then. "Now was that so hard? You have excellent craftsmanship" , Krux complimented the inventor. Who stayed silent for a moment. "It will supply all the power of the time blades for your needs...due to what happened with Acronix. I had to make a few adjustments so it could withstand the power. But-" Cyrus explained to the Time Twin.

"Great, in that case, let's show a little demonstration", Krux said as he entered the blue time blade into a slot. But it didn't do anything. "Wah- it doesn't work!-" "I tried to tell you that it wouldn't work without all the time blades present." Cyrus interupted him. Which krux sighed in disappointment. "I guess I can wait a little longer till we get the other two", he muttered. Taking the blade out before he turned to his brother. Who was just standing there silently, holding the green blade. Krux tossed the blade to him, which thankfully he caught it just in time.

"We do have a long ways to travel. We best to leave now." He said as he walked to his brother. Who only simply nodded. But both of their attentions was quickly caught due to Cyrus letting out a surprised squeal. They both looked to see Machia threatening him again. Though Krux glanced at Acronix, who has a hint of jealousy in his face. He grinned at his reaction. "I recommend to take the prisoner, for security purposes of the apparatus." She said, Krux only agreed. "Smart thinking supreme commander", he said to her.

Acronix looked down at the blades before he followed the others out, being the last to leave. He moved one blade to the other hand and rubbed his face a bit, careful not to smudge the paint on his face. He still didn't know why he agreed to it. It was fairly annoying to put on in the first place, the feeling of the paint on his face was uncomfortable, let alone with how much he put on. Running a hand through his raven locks, he had a small urge to take his ponytail down. Since he had it up for so long.

But as much as he wanted to just wear normal clothing for once, he knew his brother wouldn't really allow it. He knew his brother wouldn't allow him to do much of anything due to what happened. Though he did felt more angered with Krux, never expecting to have such anger with him in his entire life. He was always the one to be the kindest yet childish latino soul you meet. He hated this small change that was erupting. But he couldn't help it due to how ignorant his brother was.

He walked onto the ship and pulled up the ramp so the ship could lift into the air and fly off. Looking down at the swamp quietly, he noticed a distanced house he never knew that it was there. "Brother...why is there a small house far off from the dome?" He asked, Krux peered to where he was looking. "It holds special prisoners, thats all I'm saying about it", he said to the younger. Though Acronix frowned. He did wanted to know, but knew how stubborn Krux was in telling him things.

He looked at his watch quietly before he noticed his phone. He took it out of its holder and looked at the black screen. He turned it on and looked at the photo of him and Pixel. Smiling softly at it. "Atleast she doesnt know who I really am..", he muttered. "Heh....She must be really special to borg....i believe he said she was like a daughter to him....how cute....i can see that bond..", he whispered to himself. Though he noticed the sky change to a warmer color, finding the rays of color very beautiful that was mixed with the rain clouds.

He looked to borg and quickly walked to him. "Hey cyrus, how do I capture this moment in time with the glowing glass slab?" He questioned. Cyrus smiled lightly at his way of saying phone. "Its a phone Nixy...just go to the app that says camera", he said to him. Acronix looked down to his phone and pressed the app and showed him. Though he was in perfect range of the camera, so Cyrus pressed the button to take the picture, it letting out a sound of it being taken. "Yes it is, just press the round button at the bottom to take a Picture." He said.

Acronix smiled brightly and pulled his phone close again, turning around and walking back to the edge. Lookikg at the camera app for a bit before he lifted it a bit to the sky. Amazed how it could get the scenery. "Oh! Turn it to its side for a better photo", Cyrus mentioned. Acronix looked at him before back to his phone. He turned it landscape and looked back at cyrus, who nodded. He smiled brightly and turned back to his phone. He moved it before he took many photos. Becoming proud of himself for the accomplishment.

(But there is a angered yet triggered Krux in the background--)

He walked to him to show him, already knowing where to click to view them. He showed him the many photos he took, but he scrolled over one more passed the ones he took and stared at the image taken of himself. "So that's what you did, sneaky", he said playfully, which Cyrus only let out a small chuckle in response. Acronix glanced up to see his brother, who was glaring at him so menacingly, Acronix had to back off from Cyrus. Which he frowned appon, knowing why Acronix did.

Though the ride was long and painfully quiet, but Acronix was surly having fun with taking pictures, some of the others when they wasn't exactly looking. Acronix loved each and every one of them. The winds gotten chilly, and both Krux and Acronix was not fazed by it. But Cyrus certainly was. They got off the ship after landing in a secured place, but having to climb the mountain to the certain spot. Though Krux was getting inpatient. Cyrus barely could keep himself warm, which Acronix felt bad for.

He took off the cape and wrapped it around Cyrus, which had Cyrus to look at him. He just smiled softly at him before he walked back to his brother, the smile fading away. "Why did you do that?" Krux whispered to him in a angered tone. "Rather have him freeze to death?" Acronix questioned back to him lowly, which had Krux silent now. "No." He muttered, defeated. Acronix huffed. Though after waiting for a minute or two, krux gotten bored. "Where is it, are you evem sure we are at the right place?" He questioned to his brother. "Oh it should be here any moment now", he replied the time blade came crashing down and hit the ground beside them a few seconds later. Causing everything to stop for a few short moments before time resumed.

Krux grinned and picked it up. "Now what about the next one?" He asked to Acronix. Acronix looked at the watch and shrugged.

"I have no idea..."
