Four strange bipeadial reptillain creatures stood in what seemed to be a laboratory. "Glit, Mica, Mal? I think I just figured out time travel." The obvious leader said, his grey spotted scales seemed normal, like he was a simple large lizard, until, like the rest, you saw the orb floating above their tails. The one he adressed as Mal, a white one of the creatures with strange pink eyes, looked at him with uncertainty. "Linty, are you sure about this? The time cycles arent meant to be crossed....we are wiped out each 100,000 years for a reason! New species are put down! Get dumber and less pure each cycle...." She trailed off. "Mal, screw the time cycles!" The three other creatures gasped in horror. "I made a time machine Mal. I can skip over time cycles!" The speckled grey one named Lin said, laughing. "Ill test it out." Mal said, putting a claw on the machines glass. "No. I almost lost you when you were testing out the cloneing machine.." Lin said, trying not to flinch at the memory of the blade falling onto Mal, suspended by just a thin thread. "All right.... Glit, make sure the machine won't malfunction. Mica, press the button." Mal said sadly. "Um....which button?" "The pink one. Like the color of Mal's eyes." Glit said, rushing off. The button was pressed. And Lin vanished from their time forever.
---------MILLIONS OF YEARS LATER----------
Lin groaned as he woke in a shatered glass tube.
He looked around his surrondings his shock. "It worked! Im in the lab in future time cycle!" He said, shocked that he voice was not the same hissing sound as before. He glanced at a mirror. "That's the mirror Mica said....." he suddenly became shook with horror and reilization. "Oh no.....the mirror.....its cloudy....Mica said it only got cloudy every 100 time cycles.... that means......I won't have the technolgy....to get back..." And another thing was strange, but maybe expected. He had changed species. "I'm some sort of canid with wings, horns...and I guess my orb is still here. Hopefully it doesn't shatter as easy as Glit's......he probely died a day after I left....." He sighed at remembering his friend. But it was Mal he missed the most. "I promise I'll get back.."
"It's useless. We're lost. Completely, hopelessly, utterly lost, and are most likely going to die here."
The young Shikara turned to his companion - a small, elderly grey molly* - and smiled at her. "Aw, c'mon, Minnie! Lighten up!" he laughed. "I'm sure we'll find a way out of here, soon! Don't worry, we'll be fine."
The cat glared at the younger's futile attempts at reassuring her, and instead continued on. As she walked, she muttered sourly, "We've been trapped in this maze for weeks, kid. Face it; there's no way out. If it weren't for what your father said, I'd have left you a long time ago!"
The Shikara winced and looked to her sadly, obviously hurt that she'd decided to bring that up. "...I know Papa told you to protect me, and I appreciate that," he said softly. "But arguing with me about everything isn't going to-"
Minnie scowled before her ears pricked up, swiveling around like miniature satellites. "...Kid."
"What?" the Shikara asked, stepping forward cautiously.
"I want you to run."
"But-"
"No buts!" snapped Minnie. "Run. Run as fast as you can, and don't stop. Don't look back for nothing, and whatever you do, just don't stop."
"But Minnie," he persisted frantically, "what about you? What'll happen to you?! What's going on?!"
"Stop panicking, you little brat, and RUN!" Minnie suddenly shrieked, ears pinned back as the distant sound of growls and roars suddenly became louder. "It's coming! I was given an order, kid, and I ain't about to fail to complete it 'cause you were too stupid to run!"
"But what's going on? What IS tha-"
"RUN!"
The Shikara squeaked as something rounded the corner, about a hundred yards away from them - something big. He gave a last, sad glance to Minnie before turning tail and running.
All he heard was her fighting with all her might, and then silence. He was all alone again.
