Chapter 2: Bizarre 2129

Alex rolled out of bed hitting the ground with a thud, he let out a groan, he sat up combing his tangled medium length brown hair, getting up looking into a mirror, yawning a bit. He didn't have a well-toned body, but his body was about average for someone who is only eighteen, so he proceeded to get dressed, heading downstairs. He heard some commotion as he walked into the kitchen, he saw his mother and his girlfriend.

Alex's eyes widened as he put his hand on his face, leaning against the wall. Flashes of images zoomed through his mind, Alice Newrite, her Butler with the strange arm and weapon, him protecting Aiko, then his death.

"Honey, are you okay?" Alex's mom asked, checking up on him.

"Yeah, sorry, just a little lightheaded." Alex said.

"Morning baby, can I have my morning kiss?" Aiko Asked.

The image of the needle piercing his heart from the back, Aiko was the only one there.

"I'm not feeling well baby, I don't want you to be sick." Alex said.

"Oh, I don't mind at all baby." Aiko said.

"Well, I do." Alex said, heading for the Dojo, to get some rest.

Alex leaned against a wall, sliding down to the ground, holding his head, the same images flashed through his head, he knew the next thing that he needed to do was to confront Alice.

Alex left for school with Aiko, to make sure nothing was off, Alex held Aiko's hand, the same thing happened at school, only different Arthur was wearing a cast on his right arm.

The same events happened, knowing that Arthur's arm is messed up now, means that they can move through time, or Alex is only one affected from the memories today.

"Alex, can I ask you something?" Alice asked.

Alex looked toward her as she looked him over.

"I heard that Aiko thinks I will take you away from her, I want her to know that isn't what I want." Alice said, smiling.

Alex leaned against a desk looking at her.

"Yes, you do." Alex said, calmly. "What happened to Arthur's arm?"

"What do you mean?" Alice asked. "He broke it, trying to pick it up, he is an elderly man."

"It didn't have anything to do with a Pseudo Henshin?" Alex asked.

Alice's eyes went wide.

"How do you know about a Pseudo Henshin?" Alice asked.

Alex proceeded to tell Alice everything.

Arthur was informed on what was going on.

"So, the Pseudo Henshin was used on Arthur's right arm, and it was injured." Alice said. "You die, time restarted, and, in this Timeline, Arthur's arm has been injured before coming here."

"So far I'm guessing it adds up." Alex said.

"We still have to confront the Aberration of Aiko." Alice said.

"Is there a way that we don't have to kill them?" Alex asked, still nervous about killing Aiko.

"There is no way I will let an Aberration live!" Alice yelled, leaving.

Alex blinked a bit, unsure what just happened. He left to find the area where he first saw Alice and Arthur confront Aiko, but this time Aiko was with the girls from her club. Having that brief meeting with Alice, made her late to encounter Aiko.

Shortly on cue, Alice and Arthur showed, the girls went over to talk to Alice, they were called over to Aiko, she kissed them both on the forehead, as the girls turned toward the other two, then ran toward them and started to attack them.

Arthur tried to fight them off, they went to damage his right arm even more, Alex hopped out the window again, still not his smartest idea, running over to try and stop the girls. He noticed strange markings on their faces, he did his best to fight them off, they easily overpowered him.

Arthur took out the object Alex saw last time, but Alice stopped him.

"Arthur, don't you know full well, it will be weaker when injured." Alice said.

"I know Miss Alice, but since we were never able to complete your Grandfather's Jikan Warden System, protecting you as a Pseudo Warden is the best thing I can do as your protector." Arthur said, putting the object to his messed-up arm. "Pseudo Henshin!"

As the object fused to his arm, it looked incomplete, half of the weapon formed, he ran past Alex, yelling.

"Protect Alice with your life!"

He knocked out the girls going after Aiko, attacking her with his bad arm, groaning as his arm got hit, he slashed at her chest, her opened a bit, revealing what looked like a tattoo on her heart.

"Arthur, there is her Aberration Mark, go for it!" Alice yelled.

Arthur lunged forward, aiming for the Mark, but he just missed it, as Aiko turned into what looked like a Needle Monster, she shot a needle through Arthur's heart. Alice screamed, running over to catch Arthur, Aiko laughed then started to walk away.

"Arthur speak to me, tell me you will be, okay?" Alice asked.

"Dear Alice, I will finally see my beloved after so long." Arthur said, quietly as the object fell into his hand, he took it holding it to Alex. "Sir Alex take the Jikan One, become a Pseudo Warden and protect Miss Alice with your life."

Alex took it, looking at the two, Alice was crying hard, holding Arthur close.

"Grandfather, what am I supposed to do?" Alice asked, tears in her eyes.

Alex looked over seeing Aiko walking away, Alex looked down at the Jikan One, then gripped it and yelling loudly.

"Aiko get back, your next opponent will be me!"

Aiko and Alice both looked at Alex.

"Dear Alex, you have been fun, your kissing sucked, but your time was sweet." Aiko said, laughing.

Tears stung Alex's eyes; he hated the feeling of being used.

"Old man, if you can still hear and see me, then I will protect Alice with my life!" Alex yelled, ripping his shirt open, revealing his Aberration mark over his heart gripping the Jikan One. "Henshin!"

He jammed Jikan One into his Aberration Mark, he roared out in pain, as Jikan One fused into his body, a belt formed at his waist, a small Jikan One appeared in his hand, he put it onto the Jikan Belt, a large clock appeared behind him, the clock turned to One as it moved under him, the Hour and Minute hands spun clockwise fast, the clock spread out around the area they were in, everything outside the area stopped moving.

Ones appeared on his legs, back and lower hips, the upper half of a clock appeared on his chest, the Hour and Minute hands appeared on his arms, gears appeared throughout his body, his body gained a copper-colored armor, half gears formed on his head, creating metal bug like antenna, a clock face appeared over his own.

"Jikan One time has stopped, and a guardian has been chosen, The Warden of Present arrives." The Jikan Driver chimed.

"Your time ends here." Jikan said.

"I can die in peace knowing my master's research is complete." Arthur said, smiling passing away in Alice's arms.

Jikan ran forward, punching Aiko in the chest, knocking her back, she swung a fist, but Jikan easily blocked it, punching her in the gut, as he started wailing on her with punches.

Alice watched wide eyed as she saw the complete Form of Jikan, Jikan summoned a gear behind Aiko, it started spinning fast, Jikan punched Aiko into the gear, with the speed, Aiko was launched back at Jikan, as he started rapidly punching her as soon as she is launched back at him.

Aiko rolled past the gear, grabbing it then threw it at Jikan, he ran forward, waited for the perfect time and stepped to the side as the gear grazed his chest. Jikan spun the Jikan One clockwise on the driver, he raised his right hand up as it charged with a copper glow, he brought it down onto Aiko's right shoulder.

"Noon to Six." Jikan said.

Aiko roared out as the needles in the area where Jikan hit was damaged, two long needles formed at her wrists, she launched forward slashing at Jikan, he swayed from side to side, then grabbed one and broke it with his elbow.

She stumbled back, Jikan spun Jikan One counterclockwise on the driver, a gear formed around her freezing her in place, a large gear formed in front of Jikan, he ran up grabbing onto it, it started to spin around fast, after a few seconds, he let go zooming toward Aiko, with his foot aimed out.

"Fast Forward." Jikan said.

Once his foot connected to Aiko, she blew up, she then fell to the ground, returning to normal, the armor broke away from Jikan, after he removed the Jikan Driver. Alex walked up to Aiko, then she mustered a bit of strength and shot up, kissing Alex on the lips. Alice's eyes widened seeing blood trickle down their lips, then tears ran down Alex's cheeks.

Aiko pulled back, blood forming on her chest, Alex had taken the broken needle and jammed it through Aiko's Aberration Mark.

"Goodbye my love." Alex said.

Aiko gave a soft smile, fading away from the area, the girls she affected were cured, Alex stood there wiping his eyes, he then went over to Alice, kneeling down.

"Do you have a place where you would like to bury him?" Alex asked.

Alice nodded, wiping her eyes, Alex helped pick up Arthur, they carried him to the Limo, Alice opened the door, once they entered the inside was much larger.

"Like a Tardis." Alex said.

"Yeah, but the outside changes its appearance, to suit the time period." Alice said.

"So, a Limo, to pose as a pompous princess?"

"Shut up, for your information, my grandfather was the greatest man of this time."

"Oh yeah, if he was great how was he not able to complete the Jikan Warden System?"

"He ... he passed away before he was able to."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear."

Alice wiped her eyes, pulling Arthur into a separate room, then went toward the front of the ship, she typed something into a keyboard, Alex was pulled onto a chair, strapped down, Alice gunned the engine, and they shot forward through time.

Alex was pulled into his seat, until he was shot forward from the sudden stop.

"I bet I'm going to have to get used to that." Alex said, covering his mouth.

Alice got up going over to get Arthur, shortly after Alex got up from taking a few breaths, he helped Alice take Arthur off the ship, Alex stared in awe of the future of Japan.

Japan looked more Feudal both still with a futuristic touch, Alice pulled out a coin like object, pressed it and tossed it into the air. Once that happened a small ship soared down, landing next to them, as the window opened.

"Your Taxi has arrived." The man said, as the back door opened.

Alice pulled Arthur's corpse into the back, as Alex got in shortly after, Alice gave the man a few coins, then spoke in a strange language, the man nodded as they flew to a new location.

Alex looked out the window, seeing the scenery change from Feudal to more Futuristic, they came upon a mansion as they set down in the front yard. Alice opened the door pulling Arthur out, Alex then got out, picking up Arthur as they made their way toward the mansion, then the Taxi flew off.

"This is the Year 2129, a Hundred and Ten Years from your Timeline." Alice said, looking at the mansion. "This was my grandfather's."

"Very interesting." Alex said, looking around. "So where are we going?"

"To my grandfather's grave, Arthur's will be next to his. " Alice said, getting to the grave.

She pressed a device to the ground as it dug a hole deep enough for Arthur, they both slowly lowered him in, Alice took a flower, laying it on Arthur's chest, she put another device on his chest, as a coffin formed around him.

"Thank you for all your services Arthur, you will be dearly missed." Alice said, as they both got out.

Alice used the device she used to take up the dirt again, the dirt covered Arthur's coffin, then pressed it into the dirt above the covered hole, as a Gravestone appeared. The wind blew, the grass covering Alice's Grandfather's Grave revealing his name and his parents name.

Mother: Sarah Newrite. Father: Kenji Zenta

Loving Grandfather, Father and Son: Alex Zenta.

Alex's eyes went wide as he turned his head toward Alice.

"I'm your Grandfather!" Alex yelled.

Alice nodded, then spoke.

"Yes, it's nice to meet your younger self, Grandfather."
