Only time will tell (FutureShipping)

Chapter 32

Though morning, the twins actually kept to themselves from the ninjas. Civilizing how they use to. But though they spoke in their native language so the ninjas wouldn't be able to understand them.

"So...you're saying that thing is wanting to kill me because I have our element..?" Acronix asked quietly. Krux nodded. "Yes. I sadly cannot stop it in what it does. I never wanted to do any of this." Krux said as he rubbed his arm gently. "The thing used my own fears against me to get what it wants. And its still working since it brings up our parents death constantly..." tears threatened his eyes, Acronix frowned and hugged him lightly.

"Maybe you should wear mothers-" "no! No no...I can't risk you. I can't at all. I was lucky to get it on you. But may not be so lucky the next time you are at your weakest." Krux stopped him. He put his hands on his shoulders. "You actually have a life ahead of you. I already have lived mine and I'm reliving it but people see me as a villain. You've done your redemption, and have came far with making things right. I simply cannot achieve that now..." krux said, heartbroken. Tears fell down his face. But he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

"May be the case. But things can always change. It wouldn't have to be this way brother. You can let go of the past and fight off TC." Acronix softly said. "That won't be easy. Not at all. Its hard for me to let go when I wasn't there to-" "what could of been done Krux? We wouldn't be there to save them. Plus we would of been unable to win against the Anacondrai." Acronix explained in a more strict tone. "Life has its own destiny. And destiny has its reasons of who may leave us, and who may stay. Yes its hard, don't go thinking I don't feel bad for their death too. I am as well upset they are gone. But they have done good and did their part in the world."

Acronix looked down a bit. "Mother was a great warrior. And so was Father. They did the world proud. They went down as heros. Mother as a legendary Master. Father as a hero. Even if they are gone. They are still here with us. They are still in our hearts. You have to remember that." Krux could only stay silent. He really had nothing to say to what Acronix had explained. "I assure to you. You can get better Krux." The younger said softly with a small smile.

Nixy gave krux a small hug, which was returned back. This time he didnt dare to hurt him. He never wanted to in the first place. But ober the course of a few hours. Things was calmer then expected. As the twins really had nothing to give to each other, just their presence with one another was as much of a gift as it is. Though the ninjas had a thing coming for them.

Lloyd was generous enough to give them a cake, as it was so short notice. They certainly enjoyed it and had said their thanks for it. Krux though, was getting a bit more grumpy as time passes. As seeming tc was wanting to take back control of him. Acronix had made sure to give Krux as much attention as he could, hoping to keep Krux calm enough.

Krux couldn't help but lay into his younger brothers arms. As them being goofball with each other did tire them out. Nixy gently ran his fingers through Krux's hair, lightly humming a small tune. On the other hand, the ninjas was quietly discussing with each other of the situation. "Acronix had told me that once today ends. It wouldn't be Krux in control. He said something about this thing called TC can take control of anyone that deals with time." Lloyd explained.

"Well for one I find it hard to believe. There is no such thing called TC that we would known of." Cole said as he crossed his arms. "Would be correct. But remember, we never knew of the overlord until it nearly was too late. This TC could be a villain that is much in the past than would be in our time zone. And only now had started to make its move." Zane said, which a few agreed.

"But still. How can we trust krux..? There's no valid proof of this person called TC." Jay backed up Cole, crossing his arms. "But we can trust Acronix. He knows what he is doing." Lloyd muttered with a frown. "Look. I know krux has done more wrong than Acronix. But we gave Acronix a chance. He had proved himself. Its best to take his word on this and let him sort things out in his way." He defended.

The others stayed silent, but Kai scoffed. "If that's the case. Then fine. But I still believe we should go with the plan to bring the Elemental Masters. Just in case if anything foolish was to happen." "Certain. That's what I was going with anyways. I'm going to ask them to see if they would. Its been a while since we've sawn everyone." Lloyd agreed with Kai.

"We should be coming up to the twins home town. Let's just hope that they won't attract too much bad attention." Nya announced to the others, they looked to her. "Good." Lloyd muttered. But Zane had a burning question he wanted to ask.

"Lloyd...why are you suddenly doing these things for them? Its a sudden change of view with them." Zane mentioned. Lloyd looked. "I don't know exactly what it is. But I just...felt like I have some sort of connection to them. Like they seem family to me." He muttered, crossing his arms. "I cant pin it down, but I have to see with Wu of why I feel like this."

"Wait- Lloyd where are we?!" A faint voice yelled, Lloyd turned his head to Acronix. He took his leave out of the command center and walked to the deck. "Your home. Thinking it would be nice to revisit your birth place." He said. Though Krux was still suspicious of how he knew where they was born at. "How did you know?" He asked as he sat up and straightened himself out. "By Shades mother." Lloyd replied.

"No wonder why you came for the time flower." Krux grumbled, he got up and helped his brother up. Acronix walked to the edge and peered down, amazed by the view. "Home.." he muttered in Spanish. He looked to the others who just came out of the command center. Though they looked very suspicious of Krux. He couldn't blame them at all. He sighed and smiled a bit. "Finally home after all this time.."

Hey my silverlimgs! Sorry this was a bit delayed, I was busy worrying about my birthday, which is today. But also because school was a bother-

But anyways, I hope you all like it!
