Timelines Are Not Meant To Be Joined Together (SAMTBK Vol. 5)

Act 11: Doctor Decoal

Destiny's P.O.V.

I walked aimlessly around in the woods, trying to find where I first encountered Sailor Charon...

"Hello? Sailor Charon?" she called out. "Where are you?" She then saw the sailor-suited soldier in the shadows, her back turned to the platinum-haired girl. "There you are!"

"Home trouble?" she asked. Her voice sounded a bit off... but she might just have not had water or is getting sick from time travel.

"Yeah... I want to go home... could you help me with that? I only had one time ticket, so I could only go one way..."

"Okay... we'll leave immediately."

"Wait! Aren't you going to see your future parents first?"

"...no... why?"

"It's just... I don't know what your home life is like, but the protags of this generation are really sweet... except for-"

"Yeah yeah. Can we just go?"

3rd Person P.O.V.

Destiny thought of it as a bit strange she'd be interrupted by her in the middle of a rant that talked about Sailor Charon's future parents... at least, she knew one of them at least was a future parent of Sailor Charon... didn't know who exactly though.

"Wait a second... I've been tricked!" Destiny realized. "You're not Sailor Charon!"

"Pity you found out so soon," the doppelganger stated, transforming to her regular form. "I like cosplaying..."

"Morpha!"

Destiny ran around through the woods, trying to escape. She didn't see anyone, but someone tripped her, causing her to scratch up her face.

"Such a pity your hair is white... it's going to be dyed when you bleed."

"That's really dark. You know that?"

"Well of course! I'm on the bad guy side!"

Morpha charged up to blast Destiny, but something stopped her. A voice told her to... and it wasn't in her head.

Out of the shadows then stepped a man... his hair was literally a black fire... and it was always burning...

"Doctor Decoal... I can explain!"

"Morpha... you've been reassigned." He threw a shuriken at her and she caught it. It had some sort of message on it, but from the glimpse Destiny got when he threw it, it was white. Not very specific.

After Morpha left, the "doctor" then observed Destiny.

"Curious... you have the same issue as your mother..."

"You're the one that killed her!"

"I was merely trying to assist her... Magic gene surgeries are hard to do without ending a life... or three thousand..."

"What do you want? To extract my powers and then kill me?!?!"

"No... to activate your gene... and then you will have to work for me."

"Your mind games won't work, Decoal. I won't listen, unlike my mother! You took advantage of her because of her trustingness. I have the wisdom and brains of a Sphinx!"

"Sphinx... I can see that... that's why you're all alone."

"Shut it! You don't know anything!" He then glared down at her.

"I know more than you think... but what I don't understand is why the mythics would waste such power on you."

"When your mom is goddess of the realm, you get a lot of gifts."

"Is?"

"Yeah. Is. Because she is only dead in the future. And don't even think about hunting her. You won't find her. She is hidden."

"Oh, but YOU know, don't you? You know where your future mother is. So I hope you cooperate, or say goodbye to you ever existing."

"Existing?" Destiny then realized that she still existed. And she doesn't know why... she is still in the past, so she should have vanished already with all this delay... "I shouldn't still exist..."

"I know about your little... predicament. Believe it or not, I found Morpha when she was in a similar case to yours... and then I discovered how to freeze a person's existence time, allowing one who shouldn't exist to exist, and also... make someone immortal. And all I had to do was tap into another timeline."

"So you can... preserve my existence?"

"I am doing it as we speak. But stop outside this bubble or dare betray me, and you'll have something to worry about, as I can also eliminate your existence with the same power."

"I..." Destiny saw the bubble around her, slowly shrinking.

"Tick tock, Dragoness."

"...If I join you, would I be able to bring back my mom?"

"That and more. As I said, I can make people exist when they shouldn't."

"...You're not going to take away my powers are you? I can't tap into my dragon side yet because I'm too young, so I don't want to lose it before I can use it."

"You'll need your powers if you work with us."

"...I don't know..."

"Well you better make up your mind."

The bubble kept shrinking, this time exposing her ankle to the outside. A burning pain surged through Destiny as it began to be nothing more than ash.

"OKAY!" she yelled, stopping the bubble and the wind that was blowing. "I'll join you... just tell me what to do."

A cold, evil smirk grew on Doctor Decoal's face as he helped Destiny off the ground, fitting her bubble of immortality to her.

"Now, let's see about tapping into those powers of yours."

~~~~~~~~~~

I have goosebumps...

Destiny is on the bad guys' side now!

What was Morpha reassigned to?!

Doctor Decoalis the ringleader of this evil by the way.

Stay tuned for more!

Bye!
