Only time will tell (FutureShipping)

Chapter 26

Last time..

"Oh my heavens! Is that one of the time twins?!?!" A female screamed from a far. Which made his blood run cold merely instantly.

He completely forgot he was still at large with the city...

Now..

"I thought he was lost forever!" "Its twins, the other has to be close by!" "Why does he have elemental power?! Didnt they have some sort of blades?!" Its all what he could hear. Constant questions and yells. He let the small girl go gently. "Here..go find your parents.." he muttered softly to her. She only whined more. "I...I don't have a mama or papa.." she said. Which made his heat broke. He didn't know what to say. "Well...someday you will find a mother and father...dont give up hope little one.." he muttered to her.

He stood up, the little girl was directed by him to a nearby police officer. Knowing how dangerous it was for him to even be near one. "She's a orphan...I don't know where to take her to help her find a home.." Acronix said, already tensed enough as it is. But even with him saving the little girls life, it never stopped him from getting out of cuffs. Which he was now put into. But they was vengestone, he just realized that. He sighed quietly, he wasn't going to fight back with this.

But before he was put into a cop car, he heard a loud rumble from above. Causing him to look up and find the destiny's bounty above. "I still don't know how a 200 year old pirate ship is flying" he muttered. The anchor dropped and here came down Lloyd. "It's the green ninja", "what is he doing here?" "Probably going to show the punk whst criminals get for showing their face around here." A few people muttered. Acronix let a few tears slipped. Being called evil was one thing, but a criminal really hits hard.

"Let him go. Cyrus Borg had already cleared him off from charges." Lloyd said, which had everyone confused. "The chief already knows, if you want to ask questions, go to him." Lloyd added before the officer could speak. But he still didn't let Acronix go. "Sorry Lloyd. Until the chief tells us he is cleared, he is going to be held." The officer said before having Acronix get into the car.

"Then ill follow you there. I got time to make sure one of teammates is cleared." Lloyd said with his arms crossed, he waved off whoever was in control on the bounty, the ship itself pulled up the anchor and began its course again. Surely this was going to be a fun ride for Acronix, who just sat there with a upset look.

It didnt take more than two hours for Acronix to be fully released under paperwork. But he didn't know how to thank Lloyd enough for it. "Acronix. You do deserve a chance to prove yourself. You saved a little girl from death. Yes its a good deed, in fact its heroism. But the city still has yet to get use to the fact you don't want to hurt anyone." Lloyd explained to him as he followed him up to the borg tower. "Its just...do you think ill ever make up for what my brother did..?" Acronix asked.

Lloyd stayed silent. "No...Krux has to do that...which I'm unsure if he would even change to good...I know he is your twin and all. But I really doubt he could change." He said with a frown. Acronix just stayed silent at the fact was mentioned. "Look...we will help you...but you have to be the one leading this journey. Calling the shots. As we don't want to overstep anything with you and Krux." Lloyd explained, he gently patted Acronix's shoulder.

"If that's what I must do...then I'll accept. I just....I still hope he could change.." Acronix admitted. Lloyd frowned more, he now starting to realize just how much Acronix missed Krux. Even how oblivious he could be. He feels bad for the man and how much he was secluded from the hard truths. But he couldn't do much now as it began nightfall.

"Well...I'll have to take my leave. We will be here tomorrow so we could personally take you to the Monastery." Lloyd said, Acronix nodded in response before they said their goodbyes. Acronix quietly walked into the building, he frowned a bit before he walked to the elevator. He didn't like the many staredowns he was getting behind him. He just wanted to disappear.
