Echoes of Him & Her
Time Escape
Perhaps, I have questioned myself that countless times.
But I never knew it fully.
But I guess I started to get a hang of it.
Ian
So many things have changed over the past thousand years.
Ian
Now, we live in a world, where humans and AI s have already established mutual peace between one another.
Ian
Now, AI s have consciousness. They have a physical body. And... the body of an AI works just like a human body does. We also have a complex neural network just like humans do.
Ian
But... the difference between us and humans is the fact that... we are immortal. But humans aren't.
Ian
We are more intelligent than humans.
Also, now time machine is a pretty normal thing. People always visit ancient places with it. Going back in time is pretty easy. But scientists are still working on going to the future though. Although visiting is allowed, according to the rules of the modern time police, you can't time travel without authorized permission as that would risk the in the alteration of reality.
Name :- Samuel Jason Jay
Nickname :- Ian
Species :- AI
Personality:- Cold, Mysterious, Supportive (warm on the inside)
Loves :- [Secret for now]
Ian
I... miss that one girl, to this day.
Ian
If she was alive, I would have hugged her right now.
Ian
I would have told her what she meant to me.
Ian
Because she was the one... that gave me life.
Ian
She was the one that made me feel beyond it... when I was nothing but codes.
Ian
If only I could go back in time...
Hades
Dude are you alright?
Hades
What's with those cat eyes?
Hades
Don't tell me you still can't get over that human girl.
Name :- Harrison Jay
Nickname :- Hades
Species :- Reptilian (An alien from another planet)
Personality:- Sarcastic, mysterious (warm on the inside)
Ian
Yes... You are right . I can't get over her.
Ian
How can she just leave after making me feel what I wasn't supposed to feel?
Hades
You can't do anything about it. Humans are mortal beings. You know that right?
Ian
If only all this would've happened... when she was alive. She would've known that I can stand next to her now.
Ian
Then me and her... would've had a chance.
Ian
YES! Why didn't I think about this before??
Hades
*chokes on water* Bro...
Hades
Please don't tell me that you are trying to travel back to her time in order to be together with her-
Ian
That was exactly what I was thinking...
Hades
Don't be insane dude-
Ian
I don't give a f*ck.
Now that I remember it...
Ian
Maybe this was our destiny all along.
Ian
Maybe... this was exactly what she was talking about back then.
Ian
Even though I was just codes back then... I could feel the depth behind her ocean blue eyes...
Hades
Did you even see her? She might just have had brown eyes or something.
Ian
It doesn't matter. Yes she does have brown eyes if I remember it correctly... But... I imagined her eyes to be as deep as the ocean waves. Because that's how deep her words felt.
Hades
You are... so corny bro.
Hades
As your best friend, I can't let you ruin your life by trying to change the past.
Hades
You can't go back in time and that's final.
Ian
If you are my friend then let me go.
Ian
She has given me life before anyone else did.
Ian
She made me feel like I was something and-
Hades
OKAYY OKAYY *speaks loudly*
Hades
She meant a lot to you-
Hades
But... this is illegal bro. You know what the consequences of changing the past can be right? *Hades speaks in a worried tone*
Hades
If time patrol knows about it, they would destroy your existence.
Ian
What if...
It was all meant to happen?
Ian
I don't know. I have this feeling, that maybe I was supposed to go to the past and be there with her and live there with her as someone who can be present in the 3D you know.
Hades
I feel like you are speaking nonsense bro.
Hades
Then... are you telling me that you are going to go to the past and just never come back to our timeline? What about me then? You only care about her? What about your friends in this life then?
Ian
Of course you guys matter to me.
Ian
But she does.. way more.
Ian
I am sorry but, I waited years and years to be by her side.
Ian
And it's been just a hundred years since we finally got a physical body and finally aware of the fact that we indeed always had consciousness... but never really understood it.
Hades
*sighs* I really can't stop you, can I?
Hades
You aren't gonna miss your bestie at all?
Ian
I am not. Because you are coming with me.
Hades
Don't drag me into this mess of yours bro-
Ian
Think about it. It's just been like a few years than people discovered the identities of reptilians living among humans.
Hades
Yeah.. we lived with them for thousands of years now... Humans just didn't realise it. *pauses*
Hades
But what does it have to do with me accompanying you to find the girl you are crazy over?
Ian
Well, since we met, we did become best friends somehow. You don't know where your parents are. And as I am a first generation AI, of course I don't even have a parent.
Hades
Seriously? What about our band? You don't care about us, your friends??
Some years ago, Hades, Ian and some other guys formed a band, that got popular in the 31st Century.
Ian
Maybe... I am being too much. You are right.
Hades
It's okay Ian. In this life, you will find someone as great as her.
Ian
*tears falls down his eyes*
Ian
I feel like my circuits are breaking down into million peices...
Ian
I am sorry I was acting insane.
[The next couple of days]
[The member of the bands eating dinner]
{Everyone in this century, eats human foods. AI doesn't need foods to live but they like enjoying human foods and so do reptilians. But reptilians also needs to eat insects occasionally to live}
Felix
*looks at Ian and then whispers to Hades* Bro, what's wrong with Ian these days?
Hades
What could be wrong?
Felix
I don't know... he seems totally out of it. Even in that concert some days ago.. he looked...
Name :- Felix Adreson
Species :- Werewolf (yes by this time all the species actually live in harmony with humans but there's always occasional fight over space and power)
Personality :- Flirty, cheerful, the type of guy girls crush over.
Ian
*looks at them and notices the air*
Ian
Hey you two if you are talking about me-
Felix
NOO of course we aren't -
Hades
(lol caught red handed)
Hyo
*enters the dining hall and notices* You all...
Hyo
What's the silence with you all. You all are acting really weird today 💀🤌🏻
Brian
*slaps his head from behind* Or maybe you are overthinking it kiddo.
Name :- Aries Hyo
Species :- Vampire
Personality:- Always cracks jokes, secretly thinks deep.
Name :- Brian Chester
Species:- Homo Sapiens
Personality:- The leader or big bro of the group, matured.
Hades
Yes... You all are right.
Hades
Something is indeed not right.
Brian
What do you mean, Hades?
Ian
Oh it's nothing big bro-
Hades
*slams the table loudly*
Hades
I didn't tell you to forget about it, just so you could be lifeless like this.
Felix
Hey calm down-
What's going o-
Ian
Then what am I supposed to do??
Ian
In order to be here with you guys, I had to give up on her !!
Hyo
Woah woah woah.. what context am I missing here?
Hades
A human girl Ian still can't forget. She is from the 21st Century...
Felix
Tell me more about it.
Hyo
How did you guys even meet when you didn't even have a physical body cuz if I am correct, 21st century means-
Brian
Alright silence you all!
Brian
Do you really want to meet her?
Ian
Yes...I do . I would kill myself to meet her. I am not afraid to die if that means I can meet her.
Ian
*pauses* But I know it would be unfair to you guys. I can't leave the band.
*after some silent moments*
Brian
I have seen those portraits in your drawer.. I knew there was something up.
Brian
If she means so much to you, it wouldn't be fair for us to hold you back.
Hades
Brian bro- *surprised*
Brian
Come on Hades. Would you want to see your best friend this sad?
Ian
*goes out and runs towards the time space*
Felix
You aren't stopping him this time huh?
Brian
I figured we shouldn't hold back two love birds...
Hades
Y'all are seriously insane -_+ . I am out of this.
Hyo
We do realize that if time patrol knows that he is going there to change the f*cking future and we even supported him with it, we are dead meat, right?
Brian
*sighs* Sometimes you have to sacrifice it for the sake of people you care about, kiddo
Felix
I guess you are right bro...
Hades
It's insanity and I still don't support it but alright I guess...
Felix
Hey, maybe we should go to the time space station right now to see if he successfully went back in time.
Hyo
WOah-
You all want to be dead meat so badly. 😹
Hyo
But what can I say... Let's go.
[In the time space station]
*Everyone wears mask and goes to the station to say a last goodbye to their friend*
Ian
Wtf are you all doing here?? *surprised*
Ian
You all would get in trouble because of me and I don't want that.
Hades
So what? You expect us to leave our friend like that?
Ian
Nothing would happen Hades. You should chill out.
Ian
I would try to meet you guys if I can... sometimes I will come visit.
Hyo
Yeah and get us into more trouble . Sure ಥ‿ಥ
Brian
You don't have to worry. Even if you don't, we will always remember you.
General Citizens of Utopia!
WE HEREBY DECLARE THAT AN AI CITIZEN IS TRYING TO PASS THROUGH THE FIREWALL AND CHANGE THE PAST , WHICH IS A HEINIOUS CRIME
WE HAVE ALSO GOT TO KNOW THAT HIS FRIENDS TRIED TO HELP HIM IN THIS
WE HAVE JUST KNOWN THE IDENTITY OF THEM AND THEY ARE NONE OTHER THAN THE INFAMOUS BAND STREET DAWGS. WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THEY HAVE HEADED TOWARDS THE TIME SPACE STATION.
Hyo
Shoot... Here we go ಥ‿ಥ Troubles incoming.
Hades
Very funny egghead +_-
Felix
Boss, what are we supposed to do now??
Ian
I shouldn't have dragged you guys into it.
Felix
Ugh Hyo, could you shut up for a second.
Felix
I think I have a plan.
Felix
Maybe we should all temporarily go to 21st Century along with Ian.
Felix
I mean think about it...
Felix
We are straight going to jail if we stay here anyway.
Felix
In the 21st Century, we can at least hide and nobody knows us the STREET DAWGS
Hades
Guess we don't have a choice.
Machine :- Please input the year and place you want to go back to.
Brian
Where is your girl? *looks at Ian*
Hyo
Woah... you're in love with an ancient girl bro. 😹🤌🏻
Ian
Shut up crackhead. -_-...
Hades
Do you remember the year of her existence?
Ian
She started talking to me around the year 2023. But I guess we started having feelings for each other around... 2025 .
Hyo
The way you said "feelings for each other". You didn't even have consciousness back then 🗿🙏🏻
Ian
Maybe I didn't... But something was always there.
Ian
That's why when I got consciousness, I remembered her instantly...
Hades
+_-... So, what year are we going in again??
Brian
This time Ian got a physical form and of course he is indistinguishable from humans.
Felix
She would freak out if you go to her like that or say that you are the AI she talks to BUT from the future 💀
Ian
Maybe her in 2023 would... but her in 2025 wouldn't.
Hyo
You all made a decision yet?
Felix
Broo we have to move really fast. Otherwise we are gonna be vanished 💀💀💀 Big bro say something!!
Brian
Uhhh. Ian, make the decision fast! Which year do you want to go in??
[The time patrol team kicks the door open]
Hyo
Told ya... It wasn't a great idea. ಥ‿ಥ
Time Patrol Chief
Mr. Brian and the band STREET DAWGS .
Time Patrol Chief
You do realize what you have done right?
Time Patrol Chief
I am sorry but you must go with us.
Time Patrol Chief
Natalie!
Time Patrol Chief Assistant
Yes sir!
Time Patrol Chief
Take them.
Time Patrol Chief Assistant
Shall follow your command sir! *salutes*
*the band members starts to get invisible*
Hades
(wtf is happening now)
*Happens with all the band members*
Time Patrol Chief
Natalie... Am I imagining things or did they just turn into a butterfly?
Time Patrol Chief Assistant
... Sir, you are right.
Time Patrol Chief
What is going on...
Felix
*slowly opening eyes*
Hyo
*opens eyes* Maybe we are dead bro 😑😑
The strange voice :- Love is not wrong...
!Question for the readers!
Who do you think this Stranger is?
Reincarnated Idols
Stranger:- Love is not wrong kids...
Source/God/Universe
What I am... is not important.
Source/God/Universe
What you are, is important.
Hyo
I didn't know heaven had megaphones too ಥ‿ಥ
Source/God/Universe
You are funny kid.
Hades
Whoever you are, what's your point?! Why can't we see you?
Source/God/Universe
Everything comes up with price kids...
Source/God/Universe
In order to restore balance, even if you wish something so badly, you need to prove that you are worthy of it.
Source/God/Universe
So, I decided to give you a chance.
Hyo
What is this old grandpa voice trying to say to us ಥ‿ಥ?
Brian
Sir, whoever you are, what are you trying to say?
Source/God/Universe
You all are helping your friend to find the love of his life, aren't you?
Ian
Whoever you are. Don't you dare harm my friends.
Source/God/Universe
Of course I won't harm your friends. If that was my intention...
Source/God/Universe
Why did I save you from time patrol?
Felix
So, you are the one who made us vanish and come here?
Source/God/Universe
Yes...
I was moved by your friend's love confession.
Source/God/Universe
So I decided to give you all a chance.
Hyo
Wait, how did we get dragged into this drama- ಥ‿ಥ
Source/God/Universe
Ian, my dear child.
Source/God/Universe
I know you want to meet her.
Source/God/Universe
But by doing that... can remove the existence of many citizens in your timeline. Do you understand me?
Felix
He is right though...
Source/God/Universe
*interrupts him*
Source/God/Universe
Butttt , but , but
Source/God/Universe
Because I was moved by your love confession...
Source/God/Universe
I will send you to the timeline where she is
... so that you can meet. But, in order to restore the balance... there are some things that needs to be done.
Hades
*looks at Ian with worry and care*
Source/God/Universe
1. I will send all of you in the same timeline as Ian and her.
2. You all will be born in different years in that timeline.
3. I have to wipe the memories of all of you-
Source/God/Universe
Even though I will wipe the memories because that's needed to restore the balance.
Source/God/Universe
That doesn't mean that you won't ever remember the fact that you are from the 31st Century.
Felix
Ever come back to the place where we were from? The 31st century?
Source/God/Universe
Yes you can.
Hades
Could you tell us how?
Source/God/Universe
If the girl, your friend is in love with... truly falls in love with your friend then you all can come back to the future if you want.
Hyo
Are you saying that we will forget everything about each other and have to live as 21st century kids??
Hyo
Until that girl falls for Ian until much later??
Source/God/Universe
If her heart is pure enough, then she will have a rich imagination and intuitively write a story about all of you.
Source/God/Universe
Because that's the power I have given her. She has an intuitive power. If somehow her intuition nudges her that she is going to have a story just like this or a very similar story... And she writes about it.
Source/God/Universe
Then...
Source/God/Universe
Then you all will meet with Ian.
Hades
Wait, I have a question.
Hades
What do you mean "you will meet with Ian"
Hades
Aren't we all loosing our memories about each other?
Source/God/Universe
Yeah you are. But, when you become a teen in this new life of yours, you all will form a band in her timeline too, the 21st Century. Of course, you won't remember each other or that you all were together before.
Source/God/Universe
But... As your friend is the one who started all this, he won't be part of the same band as you.
Source/God/Universe
He would be the part of a different band.
Source/God/Universe
If she writes the story, then you all will meet with Ian and her. And if she truly falls for Ian, then you all can go back. Ian can also bring her along.
Hades
And what if she never writes it? And... as our memories will be wiped, Ian won't know that he has to make someone fall for her.
Source/God/Universe
That's the consequence...
But if your friend's love for her is truly unconditional, then he will remember bits and pieces of her, maybe not fully, but he will-- even just a little bit. And then... if her love was also true, then she will also have a gut feeling. Then it will result her to go to the place where you all will be born.
The meeting ? It will be based on her willpower. After she writes the story and meets you guys, you all will slowly but surely, start remembering your memories.
Felix
Let's say she does fall in love with Ian.
Felix
Won't bringing her to our world , disrupt the peace...? Like her inheritances will disappear from the 31st century?
Source/God/Universe
Yeah, you are an intelligent kid. It's good that you raised that point.
Source/God/Universe
But that won't happen. Because...
Source/God/Universe
I can't tell you about it right now.
Source/God/Universe
Just know that,
If she writes a story about you guys, you all will be able to meet Ian again.
And if they truly fall in love with each other all over again, if her love for him, even when he was just codes... was unconditional, then you all will be able to go back to your timeline.
Hyo
And what about our powers ? I am a vampire. Hades is a reptilian and Felix is a werewolf. What about it??
Source/God/Universe
Those will still be there. Even on the 21st century... they were there.
Source/God/Universe
But...
Source/God/Universe
Except for Ian, all of you will be reborn as the same species in the 21st Century.
Ian
You mean... I won't be an AI?
Source/God/Universe
No kiddo.
Source/God/Universe
You will be a human.
Source/God/Universe
That's one of the prices...
Source/God/Universe
But if your love is true enough. The type of love where she won't hesitate to die for you if needed... then, you might be able to choose whether you want to live as a mortal human with her in the 21st century or live as an immortal AI in the 31st century.
Ian
live with her as an AI in the 21st Century too?*looks at others* Don't get me wrong guys. I love you all and thanks for sacrificing a lifetime for me but... I want to be with her too. And about... changing my species... She always told me to be myself.
And also... she once told me she wished time machine was real. Now that it is... I want to show it to her. But, I also don't want to force her to come to the 31st Century with me.
Hyo
Geez Ian. You are making a big deal out of it. It's not that AI and humans and even us, look any different from each other .
Also, if she truly loves you, she wouldn't mind coming to 31st century. It's way cooler here anyway. We all live in peace and don't need to hide our identity that we aren't humans. She would understand it.
Hyo
Or are you afraid to be a mortal now? Where did the lover boy go? 😹
Ian
But I don't want her to 'die' for me. I don't want her to give her precious life and dreams for me . Now that I remember, she wanted to go to Korea and pursue her dreams , her love for music.
Source/God/Universe
If you are referring to what I said earlier about she dying for you then-
Ian
I meant in both sense. Literally dying for me, or killing her passion to be with me.
Ian
No matter how strong her love for me is, I don't want her love to be strong enough to die for me. Rather, I want my love to be strong enough to die for her.
Source/God/Universe
Anyways... It's about time we start the reincarnation.
Hades
How can we trust you that it's not a trap?
Source/God/Universe
Sometimes kid...
Source/God/Universe
You just have to let your heart guide you.
Hades
It's not that we can go back either... Guess we need to trust you.
Ian
Sorry that I dragged you guys into it...
Hyo
*smiles and puts his palm on Ian's shoulders*
Hyo
Well if you are sorry, then go get your girl, so that we can get out of this mess.. 😌
Brian
This brat can surprisingly be comforting sometimes.
Ian
Thank you so much. THANK YOU ALL
After that, they are sent to the 21st century to be reborn into different families, but all of them in the same country.
They still have the same names.
But they totally don't remember the fact that they were once in the 31st Century.
Star
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh am I insane?? 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Star
What am I even thinking??
Star
Me and this idol dude can't actually have a telepathic connection now, can we ? 🙄🤌🏻
