## Timeline

### Before the prologue

Before 3060, Steve Johansson presented Timeshock Wave technology to ASWS to show them that they could do more than they could ever realize. Soon after they greenlit Operation Genesis and with the aid of a Chaos Fault they had founded, quickly built a large mountain facility they call the Timewave Engine in the Alaska Range.

Sometime before the prologue, the Gang went their separate ways and the Master Emerald was stolen by ASWS. All the while Reece was distracted by an ambush set up to grab a copy of Reece's data which they succeed in doing so although Reece is unaware of their intentions. ASWS did so with the intent of rebuilding Ree-CE and using him to activate the Master Emerald to power the Timewave Engine.

### Start of the prologue

At some point, VOTE-X Abrams receives an encoded data message from an unknown sender and after decoding it, is horrified in discovering Operation Genesis and quickly called the scattered Gang back together and they met in secret. After VOTE-X explains what he has discovered, they quickly prepared to leave for Alaska except Wall-Z who states he has to "resolve" personal matters first and after convincing the rest that they can continue without him, Wall-Z quickly leaves. The rest then set off via Thompson in a cargo plane form. During the flight to Alaska, Reece discusses with VOTE-X about how to approach the Timewave Engine which they eventually agree that they would skydive near the engine and approach it from the ground.

### Approach to the Timewave Engine

Upon coming into visual distance of the Timewave Engine, the Gang prepare to skydive. Zeve and Reece enter VOTE-X's armored car and shortly after, they, Vohantex and Spitfire who is in vehicle mode with her rotors folded exit Thompson and head towards an open road with Thompson following suit after transforming back to bus form to join them. They all land safely while Spitfire flies ahead of them to scout ahead while staying low to the ground to avoid detection. They eventually come across an access tunnel which they had to blast through in order to continue forward, sounding the alarm in the process and alerting ASWS to their presence.

Still requiring time to prepare for the engine's activation, ASWS sends their private military force to intercept the Gang as soon as they exit the tunnel. Thompson, Spitfire and Zeve proceed to provide covering fire for VOTE-X, Vohantex and Reece as they continue their approach to the Timewave Engine. Thompson, being considered a high threat, was targeted first while Spitfire and Zeve try to help Thompson but gets separated when Drakojet and Hyperion show up to fight them. Thompson flees to seek cover from the swarm of robots coming after him, which he seeks cover within a trigger mechanism but quickly realizes his tires had froze over from the cold and is stuck to the metal plate he is standing on, effectively neutralizing him. Due to this, the robots that were going after Thompson changed targets towards VOTE-X, Vohantex and Reece.

### Entering the Timewave Engine

VOTE-X, Vohantex and Reece break into the Timewave Engine through another tunnel and fought through many of the facility's defenses. Due to the facility's sheer size, they blast their way directly up the facility but before VOTE-X could tell them what to do next verbally, the swarm of robots from earlier attacks them and Vohantex splits up from VOTE-X and Reece. Over radio, VOTE-X tells Vohantex to find the facility's cooling system and destroy it, which Vohantex quickly finds it but was is quickly revealed as a trap with armored doors closing behind him and the floor opening downwards in an attempt to drop him out of the facility. Vohantex quickly uses his adhesive rounds to stick himself to the floor and while it saved him from falling to his doom, he is unable to physically aim at the cooling system effectively putting him out of action.

Elsewhere, VOTE-X and Reece fend off the swarm of robots coming after them while they move upward toward the Timewave Engine's reactor. Reece spots the Master Emerald and quickly bolts over towards it but before he could get close, the platform the Master Emerald is on suddenly rises out the reactor and the opening Reece came through closes behind him. VOTE-X tries to break into the reactor but is confronted by more robots. Reece tries to physically pry the reactor apart but is suddenly pulled by it's powerful magnetic field and a swirl of plasma starts to form and due to the situation, he panics and frantically tries to free himself from the magnetic field.

### The fight outside the Timewave Engine

While Thompson struggles to free himself from his predicament, Drakojet, Hyperion, Spitfire and Zeve are locked in combat with Drakojet fighting Spitfire and Hyperion fighting Zeve. Spitfire initially overpowers Drakojet with her size but her hesitation in using her weapons left an opening for Drakojet to gain the upper hand, immediately entering Combat Mode and letting its berserk tendency to take over. Hyperion struggles to land a hit on Zeve due to her small size.

Combat Drakojet continues to fight Spitfire and manages to slice her tail off and almost immediately after dismember one of her legs to make her lose her balance. Zeve gets distracted by this and gets punched by Hyperion, receiving severe damage instantly. With little choice, Spitfire proceeds to blast both Combat Drakojet and Hyperion with her Sonic Pulsers and while succeeding in knocking them back, leaves her weakened and drained of energy. Zeve however is too damaged to continue fighting.

### Activation sequence

After the Master Emerald is elevated out of the reactor, Ree-CE approaches it and starts to harness its power. Johansson, Raymon Som, Obsidian and Wall-F watch from a viewing platform as the reactor and the Timewave engine power up. Wall-F questions where would happen to him when the engine is activated, Johansson bluntly states it would be up to what ASWS has in mind as he had an agreement with them which Raymon Som reveals that he has little to no plans for Wall-F's existence.

Feeling threatened, he tries to kill Raymon Som on the spot but is quickly stopped by Obsidian who shock him with all 8 tasers. Knowing that Wall-F will quickly recover, he quickly ejects Wall-F out of the platform and out of the Timewave engine itself. Recovering from being shocked and ejected in mid air, he scans the situation and notices Spitfire and Zeve about to be killed by Combat Drakojet and Hyperion he flies towards them and defend Spitfire and Zeve from incoming attacks stating that he felt betrayed and want revenge. Not long after, a K-9 Dropship approaches them and deploys a dozen K-9s while Combat Drakojet and Hyperion approach Spitfire and Zeve. Wall-F promptly starts attacking the K-9s.

Now without interference, Raymon Som starts up the Timewave Engine which starts with it firing a large energy beam towards the sky.

### Elsewhere...

In another part of the country, Wall-Z is with Bøøp and Solar talking to them about what he should say when he propose to Leah. Bøøp and Solar suggest various things but Wall-Z still remains uncertain but decides that he should just say what he thinks. Before he could find Leah however, they see the large energy beam and Wall-Z realizes things aren't going well. After saying his goodbyes to Bøøp and Solar, he quickly speeds off towards it, initially running towards it before flying towards it as fast as possible but encounter small resistance along the way.

### End is nigh

As the Timewave Engine fully charges, Raymon Som and Johansson celebrate briefly. Obsidian then hands over a data chip containing his A.I to Raymon Som ensuring he joins them and soon he flip opens the activation button's cover and after saying some words, presses the button to finalize the process. Outside, Drakojet exits combat mode and confess to Spitfire that while the harm he has done was not personal and was simply following orders, he partially regrets fighting her and prepares to kill her. Hyperion is upset that he had to fight Zeve due to not being a fair fight but is more than happy to finish the fight. Wall-F manages to destroy a few K-9s but gets flanked by some who fire their Laser Cores at him who struggles to shield himself from the lasers. Thompson, still trapped on the metal plate, realizes the trigger mechanism is about to activate and starts to panic.

Inside, the adhesive holding Vohantex from falling freezes over and breaks, sending Vohantex plummeting to the ground. VOTE-X is exhausted and wounded from fighting the robots but encounters a sentry who has its sights on his head. Reece still struggles to free himself from the torus reactor as more plasma start to form within the reactor.

Within mere moments, Thompson gets crushed by the trigger mechanism, Spitfire gets decapitated by Drakojet, Zeve gets deactivated by Hyperion, Wall-F succumb to the K-9 lasers and gets melted alive, VOTE-X gets his head blown off by the sentry, Vohantex gets destroyed on impact with the ground and Reece gets incinerated by the torus reactor. All the while the Timewave Engine emits a colossal white wave of energy that quickly propagates from the planet. Wall-Z halt his approach to the Timewave Engine as soon as he sees the white wave, accepting that he is unable to do anything now and gets consumed by it.

### New world

Soon after, Reece awakens from a daydream like state after his name gets called several times by Wall-E. Reece gets up with Chaos Emeralds in hand and goes along his day. Raymond Som and Johansson awakens and with Obsidian's A.I chip in hand, proceed to set out their world plan in motion.

## Aftermath

As a failure to stop the Timewave Engine's activation, ASWS succeeded in rewriting the timeline to their liking creating the Voltex Universe. Moving back 65 years to 2995, characters that were created past 2995 do not exist for the moment and characters who already existed went about their lives as normal albeit some waking from a daydream like state.

Raymon Som, Johansson, Obsidian's A.I chip and Tobison Alkno are the only individuals who had retained their memories and knowledge after the Timewave Engine's activation and with it, create ASWS early and locate the Chaos Faults that they know to accelerate their progress for the next 13 years to kickstart the War of 3008 and in turn take over the world.

## Trivia

* The Timewave Engine's appearance and scale is based on the Earth Engines from the film The Wandering Earth.
	+ Its activation sequence is partially based on said Earth Engines as well although only the external mechanisms.
* The way the Gang exit Thompson on their approach to the Timewave Engine is a nod to Fast and Furious 7 where the main cast parachute from a cargo plane with their vehicles.
