Tomorrow Never Knows

Cyril was a bit taken aback. Was that the TARDIS? Certainly not the same.... Wait, fuck, it was. "You need to leave. Now!"

Artik blinked, "How did you get that?" He frowned, "Who ARE you?" He fidgeted with something on his wrist.

Makoto really didn't want to get involved with the human so he didn't react.

Ryuzaki squinted, sighing heavily. "Right, err. Your TARDIS, orange man. No point getting around that bit. Just... you two," He corrected himself, having no reason to know that one of them would be out of the universe soon enough, "Three. You three, I need you right here in..." he pulled the panel out of his wristwatch again. "Twelve months. Even you, Michael." He nodded at Makoto, "I don't know if this makes sense yet, but tell Riza to bring himself, his family, and Maynin along. And get them to tell Zero about this. Krageta and company if you can find them. If not...."  he tossed Makoto a small, golden ball. "Give this to them. Single use group teleport. If we end up going where I think we will, that'll help them keep up." He had already left them for several other friends they made thus far, just in case. He turned and walked into his TARDIS, and left.

Artik frowned. "What." He repeated, "what." several times. He turned to the others, "Erm. Right. A year from now, then?"

Makoto sighed. "Not dealing with this,"

"You're such a spoil sport Makoto," Cyril muttered, left a bit bewildered. "If this doesn't peak your curiosity then you need to go live in a retirement home where old men like you belong." Cyril probably wasn't coming back, might as well be blunt while he could.

Artik posted again to restore the order, "Right. Err. See you guys then." Artik set his wristwatch to remind him in a few hundred years, before disappearing.

Makoto sighed. "What do you think I have been trying to do? I am sick of this shit. Let the universe solve it's own problems. Ill give this thing to Riza but nothing else."

Cyril shrugged, "Be seeing you, Makoto." Cyril too took his leave.

Ryuzaki gave a sigh of relief as he jumped out of the TARDIS, onto an as-now empty TARDIS. Ryuzaki had aged considerably, a slight greying at the temples and a significant tan. And we fell in love instantly.

Zero was there as well. not mutch had changed to him just a slight ageing.

Riza and everyone else was there

Ryuzaki put his reading spectacles on and looked at the group before him. "Just Maynin, then." He straightened his labcoat and yawned. "So, I've got a new look. A bit drastic, I know. But, it was extraneous circumstances. I had very little choice. At any rate. I have filled out the body. By that, I mean I've become a student of the sciences." He tilted his head slightly and muttered, "And I have a doctorate in history. 'Course, that was a bit easy. Time travel."

"nice." zero said.

Maynin had been wondering why everyone was gathered and figured she might go say hi. She waved to everyone. "Hey," She stopped. "I...Is that Rick?" She said, covering a laugh.

Sirius just waved at Riza silently, too shy to speak around the other people.

Riza did something strange for him. He stayed silent

Ryuzaki nodded at Maynin, and took off his glasses. "Hello, Maynin, and...." He squinted at the other. "I haven't had the pleasure." He muttered something to himself under his breath that sounded a bit like, "I'll have to read the file on him, later."

"Right then," he shouted. "We're here, on an old Roman landmark. Err... spacemark." He gestured to their feet. They were all standing on a large slab of marble and gold, "Apparently, Artik's people built this before they disappeared. Must've gotten nostalgic. This a viewing platform. 'For what?' For that," he pointed in front of them. "This here is the scar of the hole that the Seraphim made when they tore through the universal barrier. In they came--- the Romans and the angels and the lizards." He looked at Zero momentarily, "And... others." He gestured again to the scar, "Notice how it's glowing dimly and shooting fireballs. The colors are getting more vivid. It's been going on like this for the last millennium and a half. Last year, I happened upon Artik, Cyril and Makoto." He sighed, "They were just standing here, looking at it. Of course, only Makoto had enough goddamn sense to notice that it shouldn't be doing this." He cleared his throat, "Cyril actually had noticed that that scar is taller than universe. And still, no one really cared. Well, now it's growing and glowing and shooting out fire at an alarming rate. Time itself is being distor---" his watch chirped.

All at once, the slab disappeared beneath them. However, they stayed as if still standing on something. Several translucent beings were working, telekinetically moving slabs and pillars of marble into place. An orange man walked through Ryuzaki, eliciting a shiver from the latter. And all at once, they vanished, and the platform reappeared. "Distorted," he finished. "What you just saw was an example of time bleeding through. This will spread to other parts of the universe."

"so how do we stop it?"

Maynin looked at Zero. "What he said." She paused. "You look good, by the way."

More silence

"It looks like we're waiting," replied Arcturius. He blinked, looking around, standing in Ryuzaki's place. "Oh. Hello." He paused, "Where am I?"

Fuck the order)

"I have to go through." Riza teleported to the scar and slowly ripped it open once again. Closing it behind him as he went through

"well, that was kinda op." Zero looked over to the man now standing in ricks place, "hello, mind telling us where rick is?"
