The Future is Now

The Future is Now is the first episode of Edge of Time War.

Plot
We see a panoramic view of Galvan Mark X: A world infested by technology and full with large cities blooming with life ''as far as the naked eye can see. Tall skyscrapers, huge laboratories and several smaller houses litter the surface of the planet. There is no room for nature here. The camera zooms in the capital city of the planet. One building instantly fills us with senses of awe and familiarity. Each one of its floors are connected with green tubes that transport and mix continuously a green liquid. On top of it, we find a very unique logo: A hourglass-shaped object, which also glows bright green. The camera zooms further in the interior of the building, where many little grey creatures hover around in hoverchairs and move scraps and tools using a green beam that they project through their third eye''. ''All of a sudden, a bright blue flash momentarily blinds the camera. Once it fades away, we see a rather tall man, perhaps in his early forties, wearing a white labcoat and green goggles. The strange man removes them and calmly walks towards one of the creatures.''

[Creature 1, seeing the man]: You are late.

[Man]: My sincerest apologies. You see, I had very important matters to take care of and there's just so little time!

[Creature 1]: Humorous as ever, Paradox.

[Paradox, looking around]: Leaving already?

[Creature 1]: It's like you said. We don't have much time until the inevitable happens.

[Paradox, checking his pocket watch]: Oh my, yes you're right. I suppose you have it ready then, First Thinker?

[Creature]: How many times have I told you to call me Albedo?

[Paradox]: Too many to count. Let's procceed as quickly as possible.

[Albedo]: Follow me.

''Albedo steers his hoverchair and goes towards a wall, which separates to form a door-like structure. He enters the room and Paradox follows, watching not to hit his head on the ceiling, which is low for human standards. Albedo gestures two Galvans to remove a pile of spare items, which reveal below a small black cube with green glowing lines all over it. Albedo projects a green beam from his third eye which surrounds the cube and moves it telekinetically, letting it fall in Paradox's open palms.''

[Paradox, inspecting the object]: You must be very proud. This is your greatest invention after all.

[Albedo]: I do not have time for compliments. You have what you asked for.

[Paradox]: Oh, I must have forgotten to inform you. I do not intend to use it.

[Albedo, slightly shocked]: If you are not going to use the Omnimatrix, then who?

[Paradox, checking his pocket watch]: Someone...around 30 million years from now.

[Albedo]: You must be joking.

[Paradox]: Oh, I assure you, I never joke about matters such as these.

[Albedo]: You are the most trustworthy person I know, Paradox. I am sure you will make the right choise.

[Paradox]: Thank you, dear friend.

''His right hand glows with blue energy and touches the floor, which decays. Paradox puts the cube inside and snaps his fingers, causing the floor to fix itself.''

[Paradox]: Do not worry about the safety of the device. The one who is destined to find it will find it.

''Albedo nods in relief. A Galvan quickly approaches him.''

[Galvan]: First Thinker, it is time.

[Albedo]: I believe this is the time to say goodbye.

Paradox does not reply and instead looks around nervously.

[Albedo]: Is there something wrong? I have never seen you like this before.

[Paradox]: Indeed, dear friend. I am afraid we have an unwanted guest.

A dark purple flash engulfs the room, revealing Eon.

[Eon]: Your skills have not waned, Time Walker.

[Paradox]: And I must admit yours have increased, Eon. It took me quite a while to see through your chrono-shield.

[Albedo]: Do you know this intruder, Paradox?

[Eon]: Oh, yes he does, Galvan. Paradox and I are mortal enemies, even though he thinks of me as a little more of a nuisance.

[Paradox]: I have never said that.

[Eon]: You will say that. Now, do me a favor and hand over the Omnitrix.

[Albedo]: Over my dead body.

[Eon, grinning]: If you insist.

His hands glow with purple energy and releases a dark purples beam at Albedo, which is blocked by Paradox, who is not affected by the blast due to his immortality.

[Eon]: Stay out of this, Paradox! You know you don't have the power to stop me!

[Paradox, at Albedo]: Go, I will stall Eon.

[Albedo]: But-

[Paradox]: You have a ride to catch.

Albedo exits the room, along with the rest of the Galvans.

[Eon]: This dimension...it is intriguing, don't you think?

[Paradox]: Why are you doing this Eon? Do you not realize that Maltruence will betray you with the first chance he gets?

[Eon]: Blah, blah, Betrayal, blah, blah, blah, I am a fool, blah, blah, blah! At least come up with something original, Paradox. Your words are getting stale.

[Paradox]: I am only trying to help you, Benjamin. You have strayed from the path of good.

[Eon, angry]: Don't call me that!

''He creates daggers for each one of his hands and lunges at Paradox. Paradox summons his cane and blocks the attack. Eon tries to stab him, but Paradox smacks him with his cane in his knee and stomach, causing him to back off.''

[Eon]: You'll tire eventually, Time Walker. And then, no one will be able to save you!

[Paradox]: Your overconfidence and arrogance will be your undoing.

[Eon]: I have had enough of this!

He opens a purple portal in front of him and grabs a large sword, whose blade consists of purple fire.

[Eon]: I will ask for the last time: Where is the Omnitrix?

[Paradox]: You will never find it.

''His cane transforms into a sword, which has blue fire for a blade. Eon swings his sword at Paradox, who puts his sword in front of Eon's, causing them to clash. Eon breaks from his grasps and swings it again, attempting to hit Paradox's left shoulder. Paradox disappears in a blue flash before the attack hits him and reappears behind Eon, stabbing the gauntlet on his left arm, which sparks with purple energy.''

[Eon, grabbing his hand]: Argh! My Chrono-navigator!

As soon as he says that, the ground shakes and he almost falls down.

[Eon]: What's happening?

The camera turns around towards the window and shows the outside view: Galvan, the system's sun, is devastated by solar storms.

[Paradox]: Galvan Mark X's sun will release a powerful nuclear electromagnetic pulse that will anihilate all life on this planet and beyond in about one minute. I suggest we give up this foolishness.

[Eon]: How am I supposed to escape when you destroyed my Chrono-navigator?

[Paradox]: Fortunately for you, this is not our last encounter.

''He snaps his fingers, transporting both him and Eon away. Soon after, the pulse hits Galvan Mark X, destroying everything in sight.''
