You were doing your absolute best putting on the last improvements on your genius invention. Finally, you would be able to try testing it out to see if it really was working and whatever all the effort you put into this magnificent project would have paid out considering how much hustle you both went through to make it to this point. All the savings were mostly spent on getting all the parts on this device so you two couldn't back down as soon your all your effort would have paid out, you two just needed a couple of more days to try it out and get it working or that's what you at least hoped for. But soon you saw how the red lights started to flash warning you of the upcoming danger that kept making it's way to you each second that passed by and soon the computer in your hideout started an alarm going making you realize something went terribly wrong.
"Emergency, emergency! Intruders detected, please choose a course of action against them!" you looked up of the corner of your eyes glancing at the screens which were soon dead due to someone getting rid of the cameras that were installed around the place, however soon you witnessed a horde of men heading your way, sure the final doors would be quite a challenge to open but you were aware that you hardly had 30 minutes left before the military would make it way to your hideout. You must have been stupid for thinking that they would have never found you out here. Sighting you soon yelled realizing there was no other course you could have taken.
“Egzid, prepare full defence mode, also clear a escape route for (f/n).” you ordered as your trusted partner in crime that spend so many years beside your side had an idea what exactly you were thinking and thus he decided to go against your idea, disagreeing to it fully.
"No, you can't! We have never tried this time machine out! What if you die while trying? I can't simply allow you to do something so stupid and reckless." yet it seemed he would have lost this argument this time around even if he had a point. Hurryingly you tried to check if everything was in order while telling him.
"You know pretty well we can't just simply abandon it here, I don't want the military to put their slimy hands on this piece of masterpiece, if they do you know exactly that we will never have a chance against them anymore. Thus this is my last chance to fix this all and make this shitty world domination never happen!" you explained in frustration while wiping your sweat away with the palm of your hand.
"Still we can destroy it all and remake it." sure it may have been better but you knew soon revolutionary army will be out of time, your numbers of soldiers kept on decreasing every single day that was passing you by, so many dead in this cruel war against one single democrat and their powerful army that only became stronger each single day, hungry for more power and destruction. You knew you two were too close to achieve something and that you hardly had the sources to remake all of this yet again.
"No, you get out of here and let's blow up this place, make it fall to the ground so all the documents burn up. You can still remake the time-machine without me if I happen to fail this round. Like even if we survive this there is no guarantee we won't die in the next couple of weeks. There are barely any allies we can ask for help around here, so I rather die trying doing my absolute best." having that out your chest you soon saw your friend nodding agreeing to this idea, even if he wasn't fully convinced just yet.
“But do you even know where to head to stop all this madness?” he asked as you just nodded your head being positive you got this.
"Seoul, South Korea year 2018." you stated being really sure about your decision.
"So like 13 years ago." your friend nodded to himself while pointing this out as he started to gather some things for his self-defense purposes.
"Grab the robot with you, they cannot get their hands on her too." you mentioned as you partner nodded, grabbing everything he left as you were left on your own with the alarm sounds echoing thru the lab rather loudly thankfully your focus was on point so it hardly distracted you from your actual job you were basically tuning out all the sounds being aware if you screwed it, it would have been your last day on earth. This reminded of the task of which you supposed to set in motion and soon you spoke up.
"Egzid put the system on self-destruction 15 minutes from now." the computer put in your command in its system and soon another more powerful alarm spread itself inside the building for everyone to hear.
"Self-destruction activated, please evacuate from the building or politely just die." soldiers that heard this piece of information started to scatter themselves around, running for their lives, meanwhile some of them just assumed it was just a prank to scare them off being unaware of the fact the whole place was filled with explosives.
"Commander, I think it's wise to escape this place while we still can, the revolutionary army usually like to destroy their hideouts when they are exposed, thus we shouldn't take it as a mere joke." yet he shrugged away the warning, not being aware that whatever he would come to the last door the only thing that would wait for him there would have been death.
10 minutes passed by and you could hear someone banging on the door, you weren't sure whatever they were brave or simply stupid, considering how only five minutes were left to the whole destruction of this place. But finally, you could say that your invention was ready to start, having the batteries full charged which were filled with the microorganism that fulled it all soon you desperately with shaking hands you put in the date you wanted to go back too. Putting your hands in a prayer soon you heard someone forcefully making their way in, before they could grab your invention or drag you out from your hiding place suddenly you as well as the machine disappeared in front of his eyes, that's when he saw the screen realizing the self-destruction program was no joke, he started to sprint out the building possibly grabbing some documents on his way, thinking they could be useful for their queen. His legs got him long, but not long enough to spare him from the injuries, but one thing he was aware of. The revolutionary army would try to change the past with a time machine and they would do everything to stop them from pulling such a stunt. Sure he was aware that changing history could end up badly for anyone who tried, but it seemed like these people were crazy enough to proceed with such a plan.
