Lost to Time

A timetraveler goes missing in the year of 5009. Another timetraveler- A more dangerous one- a timetwister- wants to find and kill him before Veronica finds and rescues him. Can she turn back the the clock, or will Time Night destroy the fabric of the universe?

## Preface

Veronica gasped. She got an alert for a missing Traveler. "Lee-Im! One of the Travelers are missing!"

"What do you mean?"

"St'oven traveled to 5009! I-I think something bad happened... I lost signal!"

"Oh no... Vern, travel to 5009, you MUST find him before Time Night does! She'll KILL him!"

"WHAT!?"

"I got a message from a spy that Time Night will kill St'oven! We CAN'T let that happen. Also... She said that our *friend* here also will tear apart the fabric of the universe- Not just turn back the clock- But destroy it!"

"We CANNOT let her do that. This is why the humans tried to kill us off- Especially timetwisters."

"Agreed. Now get to St'oven!"

Veronica left for January 5th, 5009.

## Chapter 1- Turn Back the Clock

She drove around, looking for clues of where St'oven went- Or disappeared to. She sighed, saddened by the sight of the poor and starving in the city she was in. She got a signal for a Traveler and Nighttime Rises member nearby. She looked at the number for the Traveler.

"Agent 401! Copy over?"

"Agent 609, copied. What's up?"

"Be on the lookout for Agent 598. He went missing."

"WHAT!? I'll also tell 890." She heard him tell the Nighttime Rises member about the missing agent.

The Nightingale came over the intercom. "Do you have a tracker?"

"No, we don't have a signal."

"Ey- That's an issue."

"Yeah..."

"I'll try to reach other Nightingales, but no promises it'll go over as well as I want it to," She said, her voice heavy with a southern accent.

"OK, Agent 890. Good luck."

"You too." The Nightingale left the call. Agent 401 gave a sigh. "Alright, let's get off."

"Yeah, I need to find Agent 598."

"Bye, good luck."

She drove toward a path nearly covered with plants. She closed her eyes and went through. She was met with an old abandoned highway. She sped along it.

## Chapter 2- Highway of a Passing Clock

She felt very hungry when she was 10 miles in, still getting no signal for anyone. She saw a stone path off the old highway. She drove toward it, coming upon a small town. She looked for somewhere to eat at, looking at her amount of credits. "Dang it," She muttered.

She drove around, looking for cheap restaurants that without a doubt, would be horrible for her mostly-healthy diet. She got a signal for the Nightingale and contacted the agent. "Agent 890, any luck?"

"Sadly, no. I'll put you on my contacts for when I do."

"OK, Agent 890." She put the Nightingale on her contacts as well.

She hung up and stopped at a fast food place.

## Chapter 3- Ticking Clock

A week after Veronica traveled to 5009, she still hadn't found St'oven, and her Sectre and not to mention herself was getting anxious. The Leader of the Traveler Sectre was stressed, and she could tell.

"Agent 609, you have to find St- I mean, Agent 598. If you don't... We could end up with another John."

The female car shuddered. That situation had left the Sectre devastated. John Vane was a Traveler who had been killed by Time Night a year ago.

"I know, Leader 4. I'll contact you when I get a signal from S- Agent 598."

"Agent 48 is trying to contact you for unknown reasons."

"Roger that."

"609!"

"Yes, 48?"

"Time Night is getting closer. Hurry!"

Veronica swore under her breath. "Thanks, Agent 48. I'll hurry."

"If you run into her, prepare to defend yourself and call for backup. She may target certain people and Sectres, but she's also ruthless and ambitious."

"What do I do?"

"Buy a weapon for self and civilian defense. You'll need it."

"I don't have any credits!"

A *beep* sounded over the intercom, one that indicated foul language. "Try to find some."

"Got it, 48."

"I'm gonna go now, some timetwister is trying to stop an event in the past."

"Alright, bye."

Another beep sounded as she was speeding along an old abandoned highway an hour later. The only other cars she saw was a homeless child and half an hour later, a homeless adult headed toward the city, which she was headed away from. She had felt sad by the homeless cars, especially the child. She saw the intercom requests.

```
Agent 48

```

```
Agent 907

```

She answered both. 907 was a Carian from her hometown named Brandon. Despite him living in her town, she didn't know him that well. The younger car said frantically, "H-Help!"

Then, his signal beeped and buzzed soon after. Brandon had died. Lee-Im heard the signal go out and sadly reported his early death.

"Leader 4... A light had gone out..."

"What!? Who's!?"

"Brandon..."

On the other end, a beep sounded. The intercom censored the swear word. "He was only 25! He had a pregnant wife!"

Meanwhile, Veronica was physically shaking. "What killed him?"

"W-We'll get Agent 104 to check it out. Equip her with safety gear." He sent the devastating news and plans out to the HQ.

## Chapter 4- The End of a Clock

Veronica was saddened by Brandon's sudden death. *"He had a pregnant wife"* echoed in her mind. *How could someone kill him? He didn't deserve to die.*

She was still driving. Her intercom buzzed loudly, and Wi'Ri A-Rons' did as well. *A signal!*

```
Agent 598

```

```
Agent 801

```

She called Leader 4, informing him of the signal. Then, she locked glances with the new number. *Agent 801?* She clicked the thing, put in her PIN, and it showed her a profile.
