Time Warp (17 page)

Sonard’s was in his underground facility, troubled after the events that had taken place
. He was still trying to figure out how Carl had managed to escape, when a technician who was repairing their navigation systems, noticed something strange appearing on his screen. A small bleep appeared; showing something had entered earth’s outer orbit system. Sonard discarded the signal as being a reflected wave, which sometimes accord when radio waves would bounce off another planet, giving the appearance that something was there, waiting in space. However, since it lasted for just a brief moment Sonard advised the technician to ignore it for now, and to inform him if it ever happened again.

The control room was empty when Jeramaya materialized in Sonard’s underground bunker
. He wondered around the room, seeing how Sonard had created such a system on his own, meaning Sonard must have been trapped on earth for quite a while for him to complete such a task

The door opened, the radio technician had returned, he stared at the tall figure of a man that stood in front of him, his face was unshaven, his dark beard and white uniform, gave him the appearance of authority
. His brilliant white suit, fabricated from material unknown to him, gave the technician the impression that this man was not from around here. Jeramaya stared at the man and played the part, he walked passed him not even acknowledging his presence, and walk out into the corridor.

People walked by
staring at Jeramaya as his appearance showed he had superiority over them, as he continued to admire what Sonard had created, a facility of his own in a world foreign to him.

A man ran passed Jeramaya
disappearing down a hallway, Jeramaya figured he would be the one to inform Sonard of his presence and he was right. Sonard stood at the end of the hallway not believing his eyes, he instantly recognized Jeramaya. However, to find him wearing the distinctive white uniform came as a surprise to him. People stopped to stare as they saw Sonard bow his head to this tall man, something they had never seen Sonard do before. They instantly bowed their heads eyeing Jeramaya as he greeted Sonard; they both disappeared into his quarters closing the door behind them.

It seemed Sonard was confused as to how Jeramaya had found him, since the probe that waited in space ready to inform Sonard’s people of the planet he had discovered
, had not yet be activated. However, Jeramaya explained to Sonard, how he and his crew had traveled into the past tracking Sonard’s footsteps, to inform him not to activate the probe, preventing it from ever leaving earth’s solar system

“Jeramaya
, The probe contains information regarding this planet, not to send it would never reveal its position within the galaxy,” said Sonard.

Jeramaya paced around the room
trying to bring himself to tell Sonard that in the future what the probe would do to his very own people. Sonard sunk into his chair not believing what he was hearing, that he had succeeded to infect an entire population, only this time it was his very own.

The two men sat in silence for
a while, giving them the chance to really absorb what had happened. Since Jeramaya had spent the last week trying to discover the bases of time travel, the whole scenario, which had taken place on his own planet, had not really hit him until now. Sonard on the other hand, was trying desperately to try and figure out who would in the near future activated the probe in the first place. Since Jeramaya knew nothing about Carl and his friends he had assumed Sonard had activated the distant probe that had infecting his people,

However, Sonard knew better, and tried very hard to conceal the fact
. Since the spearhead was the only device that could activate Sonard’s deep space probe, which was lost, years ago, stolen from his own spacecraft by Adameus. Who was cast into the past for not agreeing with Sonard’s plans to infect man, to try to rid the planet of the species they had created?

Jeramaya continued pacing around the room, causing Sonard to feel very un
comfortable; he remained silent as his head was full of questions that needed answering. The door silently slides open and there stood Maya, she calmly walked into the room carrying some light refreshments; she offered Jeramaya a cool drink to quench his thirst. He stared at the woman, as she looked very similar to his own wife Laya, who most probably had perished along with their only son Luka, Infected by the plague, which reminded Jeramaya why he had come here in the first place?

Jeramaya thanked Maya, and accepted the light refreshment, theirs eyes met
, Maya turned around leaving the two men on their own. Jeramaya placed the glass back onto the tray, he knew since he was new to this planet consuming anything could have a drastic affect on his own body, Infecting him with one of hundreds of germs that feasted on this planet.

Jeramaya turned towards Sonard, approaching him and slammed his fist onto his desk,

“Why did you ever result to time travel in the first place?”

Sonard hesitated, “it was merely by accident, we were surveying the plant when for some reason on our return, we found ourselves in a different time zone
”, replied Sonard,

“Then where is your expedition cruiser?” asked Jeramaya.

“On reentry it developed a malfunction, we had to eject in the survival craft, and our ship exploded taking most of my crew with it.”

Jeramaya knew he was lying, concealing the truth; Sonard had
teleportation that could only be achieved by using certain crystals that are not found on earth, meaning Sonard must have taken these crystals before their ship perished.

Jeramaya pushed Sonard for more answers; their voices could be heard along the corridor, people stopped to hear
. This was the first time anyone had ever challenged Sonard, and it seemed this would not be the last, his superiors had arrived to conduct an investigation as to what he was doing here, Maya knew Sonard would be laying his head off. If Jeramaya had any idea what Sonard’s true reason for coming to earth was, or what he had succeeded in doing, it would be the end to Sonard and his mad sadistic plan to rid the earth of man, Something she knew his people would never agree to.

Jeramaya continued to verbally
, attack Sonard, until jade’s voice comes over his receiver.

“Sir you must return you have already over stayed your duration.”

Jeramaya stared at Sonard, angered by his lame response; he left his quarters hurrying down the hallway towards the teleportation room. He had spent just over half an hour breathing the air, inhaling any foreign spores that could be harmful to him. Each visit would have to be time controlled to minimize the risk of infection.

Maya ran down the corridor
eager to catch up with Jeramaya she did not know this man however, if anyone could stop Sonard she knew it would have to be this tall stranger. He had challenged Sonard meaning he must over rank him, or Sonard would not have taken these insults lightly.

Jeramaya gained a
ccess to the teleportation room waiting for his ship to signal, that they had the right coordinates to Tele-port him back on board. Jeramaya turned as the door open behind him, he stared over to Maya as she slowly started to walk towards him when a light appeared, engulfing his entire body. Maya ran towards Jeramaya, wrapping her arms around his body, clinging to him as tightly as she could. The light would only last for few seconds; Jeramaya squeezed her, as close to him as possible, he knew if any part of her body was left outside the light it would instantly be left behind. Which is just what had happen to the lab technician that Carl tried to push away, leaving the light to slice through his body, splicing the man in half? 

             CHAPTER FOURTEEN

              
All over again

C
arl and his friends had sought refuge inside a small remote hotel room, and had not yet encountered Sonard’s men inside the library. Jan had just come out of the shower, to find Carl arguing with Jason about their abduction. She began to explain what Maya had told them that the truth was all around them. They came to the conclusion, that Mayas father Adameus, might have influenced a man called Nostradamus, and decided to look for facts related to this person inside the library, or at least try to understand what Nostradamus might have predicted, or what is suppose to happen in the future.

They knew whatever they discovered, could help them in defeating Sonard, and the library seemed like the best place to start searching through any ancient text
. Jan had just read a passage about alight, was to descend from the heavens and the savoir of humankind was to appear. If only they knew that these events had already taken place, repeating themselves, maybe they could have learned from their mistakes, something Sonard had already taken in to account.

Sonard had already made plans to fly to Greece, forever hoping to pursue Carl to join his group of half-breeds
. However, since Jeramya’s resent visit he knew this was never to be, Carl must have defeated him once again, activating the probe, infecting his home planet. Sonard had a glimpse into the future, which was provided by Jeramaya, allowing him to drastically, change his plans.

From now
on, Sonard would do his best to try to eliminate Carl and his friends, hoping Jeramaya would return to his home planet for good, leaving Sonard to continue to try to destroy the species he had created.

Jason was inside their jee
p outside the library smoking his fat cigar, while Nick choked on his fumes. Nick rolled the window down hoping to get some fresh air, when he noticed a dark b.m.w park in front of the library. He nudge Jason who also stared at the car, only this time just one man carrying a small brief case, stood on the pavement. Jason eyed the man, he knew it must be one of Sonard’s, men but to go in alone was crazy, unless the smart, looking gentlemen wearing a dark suit was carrying some sort of a bomb concealed inside his suit case. Jason panicked, and phoned Carl who was still going over the book about Nostradamus, when his phone rang”, Carl get out of there now!”

Carl reacted at once, and hid behind a bookshelf dragging Jan behind him.

The smart looking man, entered the library and placed his brief case near the desk and turned around to leave, Carl figured Jason was right; it must be some sort of an explosive device
. “Quick everyone get out! There is a bomb,” yelled Carl.

The man heard his voice, and ran to his car not wanting to be identified
. The people panicked, running towards the door, while Carl and Jan slide outside with the rest of the people concealing their identity. They had just managed to cross the road when an explosion ripped through the Library, shattering the glass windows; they also noticed the dark b. m. w disappearing through the side streets.

Jeramaya, by informing Sonard as to what was to happen had already unknowingly, in some way changed the course of history
.

The events that are to follow would show that their superior council’s decision, to abandon all types of time warp would prove them right, Sonard now had the upper hand and he would use this to his advantage, forever hoping to eliminate Carl whatever way he could.

Jeramaya reappeared
inside the decontamination unit aboard his vessel, Maya was still clinging to him, and he pushed her away, feeling angry that she had managed to get inside their deep space cruiser.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing
? You could have been killed?” shouted Jeramaya.

“It would have been worth the risk if it meant stopping Sonard!” replied Maya, her tone of voice, matching Jeramaya‘s.

“We have already stopped
Sonard; he will never activate the probe since he knows what consequences it would bring”.

“You stupid man
, Sonard will never activate the probe Carl will.”

“Carl
! Who is Carl I don’t remember a Carl being assigned to Sonard’s crew?”

“He is the o
ne who discovered the spearhead that Adameus had stolen, before Sonard throw him into the past, being lost forever,” replied Maya.

“What are you on about? Adameus was killed when their ship struck the earth.”

“Listen to me, I am Adameuse’s daughter! I am a half breed just like Carl is,” yelled Maya.

Jade and Jeff, could hear every word being said through the intercom, they knew that Sonard had lied to Jeramaya, however this was more complicated then they had ever imagined
. Sonard had interbred with another species, which means there could be thousands of them on earth.

Jeff activated the decontamination mist to disinfect Jeramaya
’s clothing; Maya started screaming thinking she was being gassed, and began to panic. “It’s ok! Its harmless just relax and breathe it in.”

Maya did as she was told
breathing in the mist, taking it into her lungs destroying any harmful bacteria. Maya waited in silence until their decontamination process was complete, Jeff opened the doors and introduced himself, he admired the slim woman, and all most immediately found her very attractive.
