Instructions

Hello! This is my entry! Yes, I wrote a story, and yes it was to get words for SWC, as well as continuing the story from the OC in a past location storyline. Think of this as a time traveling AU for Phoenix, because Corsiea's a punk and technology is tricky: After spending a couple of days in Boston, narrowly avoiding redcoat soldiers, and somehow blending in enough that no one suspected she was a Magkoa girl from 2024, Phoenix finally found enough supplies to make a time travel device to take her back home. Altering her Mk-362 teleporter, which really made her nervous, and slightly upset, as it was her first teleporter and one of the few connections left to her father, she successfully made the device able to warp her through time. She sighed, looking around at the dark alley she chose to hide in, she breathed deeply. "I really hope this works...This has to work..." she said, pressing the button labeled SSB. "Please take me to base, please take me to base," she muttered, as there was a flash, and she vanished from Boston. She opened her eyes on a rooftop in a neon city. "This isn't the squad base....where am I?" Suddenly, she panicked, realizing, her teleporter wasn't in her hands. "Oh no, oh no, oh no," she saw, looking around. Suddenly she found it on the ground...without the changes she made to travel time. "Well, great. Just great," she muttered, turning her holoband on, and pulling up her location screen. 'No Signal...' the screen read. "Uh...where am I?" she muttered to herself, looking around. The sky showed the scattered stars, and a shining cresent moon. The cityscape consisted of neon lights, and towering skyscrapers. Phoenix hesistated for a moment, before grabbing her teleported, and using one of her specially made grappel arrows to safely scale down the side of the building. Phoenix began to make her way down the street, which was now made of concrete. "Well, at least I'm not that far in the past anymore," she said to herself. Soon, she made her way to a bustile down town regond with glowing advertisement signs, and flying cars. "Wait...what?" she said, shocked at the sudden change of scenery. She rushed to talk to the nearest person she saw, assuring the fact she was in her squad uniform, and that her power mark was hidden before approving the individual. "Hey, sir.. uh...where am I? And what's the date? Just curious," she said, forgetting to even try hiding her midwestern, southern accent she naturally kept. "You're in New Boston kid. The dates March 9th, 2239." The guy responded "What?" she said, shocked. "How? Why?" she muttered to herself. "So....telll me about this....I'm a little lost....I don't really know what happened..." she said to the guy, still very confused. "Don't worry. I can help you. What's your name, kid?" the guy asked. "The name's Phoenix," she responded. "Like that fancy Magkoa empress, who reunified the Magkoa tribes, and made humanity accept Magkoa as a species worth interacting with and not just a species that was bent on destroying humans?" the guy responded. Phoenix nodded. "Yes...I was named after her...my parents were big fans," she lied. "Cool! Let's go get you something to eat, and we can talk over dinner," the guy said. Phoenix nodded, following the guy deep into New Boston, unsure how this futuristic adventure was going to go. +522 words
