***Race in Time: Volume 1 - Prologue***

Original by @CoppeRiot, rewrite by @WarpigTC

In a era where mercenaries, PMCs and arms manufacturers prosper, one man looks into the more unconventional side of technology and creates a device thought impossible.

.

Back to the point,

**15th June, 2034.**

One day, a hacker affiliated with a arms and combat resources company for mercenaries, would be tampering through the mail of their rival company, Fitten Co.

He found out that someone made a time machine which takes an appearance of a digital watch with dates that makes time travel easy by simply setting the date, and the inventor? John K. Copper. An inventor for Fitten Co.

When the company found out that he made such thing, they offered him 100M USD$ in exchange, and with a contract that stated that the technology he made shall not be mentioned to anyone, same applying to the deal.

But John for some reason refused, they tried to make him accept the deal under the threat of certain consequences, at the last chance he drew and fired his pistol, killing the person he was talking to about the deal.

Then a shootout that could possibly ruin his life,or even worse - kill him ensued. Obviously everyone in a wide radius heard it,so police were called to the scene, but they only found bodies and lots of debris, weapons and blood.

He's on the run. John knew they would frame him and try to get their hands on the watches he made for his friends, so he quickly arranged a meet-up to explain what was happening. Basically every single news channel talked about a wanted man named John Copper creating a dangerous weapon.

Copper's house, around a hour after the shootout:

John: "Alright, I know this sounds insane but I got in a huge mess due to creating time travelling watches."

...

Joey: "So...Not a single one of us is gonna point out how ridiculous that sounds?"

Gre: "I think it sounds interesting."

Carl: "Shut it turtle man, anyways John,might explaining what happened?"

John: "Alright,so today I was finally finishing up a long time project and once I tested it out, I immediately messaged my employer that I just invented time travel but I guess some unwanted witness saw the message and soon after I got into a deal with them fellas from the recent news, aaand I kinda made it end in a shootout...so yeah after that the cops came over and I got out of there, so now I'm wanted."

The group stared at John in disbelief.

Carl: "Alright John, can you demonstrate and prove the time travel thingy?"

John: "Alright, watch me."

The man dissapeared instantly.

Joey: "Where did he go?!"

John appeared back in the room,and proceeded to explain details of what they did without him today.

Matt: "Huh, well anyway i'll be outside if you need me."

After the group talked about the discovery for a while, they heard noises outside.

Carl: "Alright great, time travel is real, but there miiiight be a slight problem,check outside."

The sound of police cars immediately alerted John

John: "Oh god no."

Kaz: "Hey man, don't panic."

Nitro, from the corner of the room cleaning the barrel of his shotgun: "Let me guess John, you want us to have a friendly neighborhood shootout with the entirety of the damn local police department?"

John,clipping rounds into a 9mm mag: "Yeah, we're gonna have to get rid of them and get out."

A few minutes ago...

Matt left the building to take a breather and to collect his thoughts, while he noticed something on the roof behind him,but as he turned around, a man with a sword was already jumping from the building, clearly aiming for Matt.

Matt: "What the he-"

The sound of a body getting split in two by a powerful blade filled the air.

The police who were sent to track and arrest Copper saw the brutal murder happen right in front of them, the multiple police cars along with Military Police trucks quickly stopped and in a few seconds the policemen surrounded the man with the sword.

The man was a black clothed figure with a tall posture and a ponytail,along with a scabbard and a sword still dripping with blood.

As the man turned around,he gave the policemen a shit-eating grin and said:

"I guess he's...***"Half"*** the man he once was."

The man was now walking towards the officers with his katana resting on his shoulder, as he approached closer a figure wearing a white shirt followed by multiple armed men revealed themselves as they came from around the house.

"Sam, you can't just casually walk into a horde of feds!" said the other man.

"Relax Dan, what are they going to do, eh? Shoot me?"

A woman's voice could be heard through a megaphone.

**"STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND DROP YOUR WEAPONS OR WE WILL USE DEADLY FORCE,THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!"**

The man identified as Samuel smirked before running right in front of a armored veichle, deflecting rounds from the officers and the machine gun mounted onto the veichle Sam was heading towards, when suddenly he jumped into the air, deflected all fire directed at him with his katana and split the machine gun operator in two.

"That makes two, or four I guess." Sam muttered while quickly heading for cover.

Sam: "Time for you two to shine, DAN! GET ME SOME ARTILLERY HERE!" Sam shouted at his colleague while drawing his two modified handguns.

Dan, after deploying his sentry replied: "Don't cry to me when the debris hits you! FIRE!"

Dan had his modified sentry gun fire a salvo of rockets at the veichles,destroying them and firing fragments of police cruisers everywhere,only stopping in solid objects or the reinforced armor of a Military Police veichle, where the remaining officers took cover, the female sergeant called for reinforcements while her team managed to inflict heavy casualties onto the enemy.

And while the two groups were fighting, Copper's team who just took out a team of enemy mercernaries who tried to kill them and take the watches came out fully geared up,with their first target being the enemy troops.

They managed to take out most of them until a possibly stray shot hit Copper's watch, causing it to malfunction and warp him, Joey and Carl into a random point in time.

The remaining members of Copper's party held down the enemy until the mercernaries who stormed the house decided to retreat,likely because Copper was their target and heavy casualties at Copper and Co.'s hands.

One injured mercernary came out of the house with a handful watches,he gave two of them to his colleagues before collapsing.

Sam: "Well Dan, about time we get out of here eh?"

Dan: "The time they went to should be 1000 AD. just slap that in and it should work."

Sam, now getting shot at while shooting back: "CAN'T HEAAAR YOOU, REPEEAT THAAT!"

Dan, irritated due to Sam's constant tomfuckery yells out **"1000 FUCKING AD FUCKWIT, SLAP IT IN AND IT SHOULD WORK!"**

Sam, amused by Dan's behavior yells "THANKS!" before inputting the 1000 AD time into the watch and dissapearing along with Dan.

Back in the house, Kaz and Nitro are scheming their next move.

Kaz: "Alright so,that guy outside just yelled out "1000 AD", that must be where John got warped to."

Nitro: "Well, we ain't getting out of this mess without him ,so we gotta take the risk then."

Gre: "Well, hand me a watch too, I'm coming with you."

Nitro: "You sure lil' guy? You better have your insurance ready because the American health system is a bitch."

They all grab a watch from the bag John put there for testing, and then they inputted 1000 AD, dissapearing immediately.

After reinforcements arrive, the police team moves in to clear the house only to find nothing but a stash of suspicious watches.

The female sergeant grabbed one and remembered that one of the men in the firefight shouted "1000 AD", so she tried inputting the date in and she, along with 3 of her troops dissapeared.
