Tachyon particles- These are hypothetical particles
whose speed is always greater than that of light. You
may recall that one of the basic principles of
relativity is that no object with mass can travel
faster than light. What makes this particle even more
interesting is that it is said to have an imaginary
mass. Imaginary in this sense refers to the
mathematical definition of a number which is
multiplied by the square root of -1. The energy of a
tachyon is supposed to decrease as its speed
increases, approaching zero as its speed heads toward
infinity. Various experimental searches have been made
for tachyons, with no success so far. 








Time:2145


Location: Enderby Land, Antartica


A frozen wasteland located in the geographic south of
the world. Only a select few species can possibly
withstand the sub-zero temperatures of the day and the
even colder nights. But it is the enviroment that
serves as the perfect staging area for a project that
will ultimately change the entire world. To a world
where the cold hearts of machines rule the weak
inferior human race. Where any and all oppostion is
non existent and where there control is total and
absolute. That is if this clandestine project
succeeds..........

"Hmmmmmmmm. It would be like Vile to make me oversee
the send-off in the worst possible location." Dr.
Rennoir grumbled to himself.

In this never-ending landscape of white waits Dr.
Rennoir, a company of 30 Mavericks and nothing else.
One might think of these people as mad for just
standing in one of the coldest points on Earth. But it
is in actuallity one of six strategic send-off points.
Soon there agent will arrive and then a new age of
Maverick glory will be paved with the blood of the
human race. 

"Dr. Rennoir I think I see the transport vessel."
spouted one Maverick soldier.

A small black dot could be seen coming over the
horizon. A Maverick stealth craft. The most advanced
the Mavericks could produce, an example of the
importance of this project.

"Bring up the satellite on the Holo-GPS. I want to
make sure that nothing has shifted since the last
setting." Rennoir ordered.

Another maverick soldier comes foward with a small
pyramid like object and sets it on the ground. Slots
open in the object as small cameras peek out of the
openings and begin a scan of the area. Soon a full 3-D
image of the Earth is shown in front of Rennoir. A
single blue square represents the secret Maverick
satellite whose purpose is as yet unknown to all but
Rennoir and the top Maverick generals. A red cone
extends from the square representing its area of
influence, that area being the same place there
standing on.

"Hmmmmmmmm. Everything appears in order........."

"What the fu....Sir I'm picking up another transport
craft on my internal radar, exact fifteen miles away
and heading right toward us." the Maverick soldier
reported.

"What....."

"I don't know how it got so close........And it also
has the same configuration as the other craft."

"How can that be?"

"Again. I don't know..............Wait a minute I'm
getting a transmission from one of the craft." The
Maverick's eyes glow green as he opens his palm and a
light emits from a small lens in his hand. The
holographic image of a helmeted human pilot is shown.

"This is transport craft designate number 4987.
Request clearance to land."

"Transport craft, repeat your designation number."
Rennoir asked to the image.

"4987. Why?"

"Is that a legitimate number?" Rennoir asked the
Maverick soldier quietly.

"Allow me to check my network databank.........." The
Maverick went silent as he searched his internal
memory files.

"Do we have clearance to land or not?" the pilot asked
impatient.

"Hold on. We are currently clearing a slight problem.
Please standby." Rennoir answered.

"Dr. Rennoir sir. The second transport craft that has
yet to ask for clearance has started to pick up
speed." another Maverick soldier spoke up.

"Dr. Rennoir I have confirmed that designation number
4987 is a legitimate number." the first soldier
finally replied.

"ALL MAVERICKS SHOOT DOWN THE CRAFT APPROACHING US
FROM THE SOUTH IT'S AN 
IMPOSTER!!!!!!" Rennoir screamed to all the soldiers
present, who of course immediately took aim at the
enemy jet.
 



"So far so good sir. I don't think the Mavericks
suspect anything yet." the human co-pilot spoke from
the cockpit.

"Good. Alright men this is it! Once we get into
sufficient range we'll drop in and take over the
entire area. We'll be running into some heavy Mav
resistance so be ready for anything." X briefed the
three Hunter squads that were chosen for this mission.

"Our main priority is the capture and destruction of a
new type of Maverick known as the Black-D type
Maverick. These new models look exactly like humans in
every way. We can't reveal exactly what the Mavericks
plan to use them for but we can tell you that they
must be destroyed at all costs." Zero added.

"General X sir! We have a problem!" the pilot suddenly
yelled.

"What is it?" X said approaching the cabin.

"It looks like our timing was off. My radar is showing
the real Maverick stealth transport craft approaching
the send-off point at the same speed as us from the
north."

"I don't believe this...........Pick up speed. We have
to get to the send-off point before they do." 

"Whats the problem up here?" Zero asked entering the
cabin.

"We screwed up. The real ship got here at the same
time we did."

"I expected that........"

"Say what?"

"Our intel wasn't able to get the specifics on this
operation so really we've going through this on a
series of guesses."

"You know you could have told me this before
hand........"

"Yeah but where would be the surprise in that?" Zero
said smiling.

"Oh boy..........I take it that since you were
expecting this you have a contingency plan?"

Zero simply handed him a small silver crystal whose
function was completely unknown to X.

"What is this?"

"Our back-up. If we come to the situation that we
can't stop the Maverick from breaching into the past
Headquarters has given us the authorization to breach
ourselves and follow it into the past. These crystals
go in place of your red helmet crystal. They act as
simultaneous comm. units back to headquarters as well
as emergency retraction devices. If anything goes
wrong they'll sling-shot us back to our present time."

"Well hopefully we won't need these." X said replacing
his red gem with the new silver one.

"Oh crap..........X.........ALL the mavericks are
pointing there guns at us.........." pilot suddenly
reported.

"What!" Zero looked out the windshield only to see
every Maverick on the ground locking there blasters on
the fake stealth transport.

"ALL HUNTERS DROP NOW!!!!!!!!!" X yelled to all the
squads present. Without a second guess the two large
panels on the floor of the craft opened and the
Hunters began dropping out one squad at a time.
 


"ALL UNITS OPEN FIRE!!!!!" A command Maverick yelled
the order and soon plasma fire began raining upon the
descending Hunters.

"Damn that Vile and his incompetent security! How did
the Hunters find this location?!" Rennoir yelled.
Rennoir pulled out his portable comm unit and opened a
channel directly to the secret Mav satellite orbiting
in space.

"Mav Ops Center #8494. What is the purpose of this
call Dr. Rennoir?"

"We've run into a problem. Prepare for immediate
send-off when I give you the signal"

"What? We havent even had time to properly warm up the
tachyon power plants! We need at least one hour!"

"I don't care! The hunters are already invading this
location! At my signal you WILL proceed with the
send-off. Rennoir out"
 


The sky was ablaze with plasma fire. They had already
lost eight Hunters during the drop and they had only
taken out five of the thirty Mavericks present. Zero
cut through another Maverick as he noticed the
transport vessel landing one mile from his position.

"X! They've landed! We don't have much time!!" Zero
yelled over the sounds of gunfire and explosions.

X blasted a hole clean through another Maverick before
he made a clear dash toward the transport vessel.

"C'mon Zero we can't waste time with the soldiers! We
have to destroy the new Maverick!!!"
 


"Tell it to stay in the transport, its too dangerous
to come out into the open!" Rennoir yelled at the
pilot via comm.

"But how the hell are we supposed to send it off?!"
the pilot yelled back.

"We'll transport the whole damn thing if we have
to!!!" 

"Are you insane! What about me?!"

"Well get out if you don't want to go with it!"
 


"Crap...Zero I'm detecting an increasing build-up of
tachyon radiation...Around the entire jet?!" X said
shocking even Zero himself.

"Those bastards can't be that insane............"

"You seem to forget how far Mavericks are willing to
go for anything."
 



"You heard me send the whole transport!!" Rennoir
screamed into his comm at the satellite operator.

"I'm telling you your going to get everyone there
killed. I better not get blamed for this........."
 



"The build-up is increasing! We aren't gonna make it!"
X said pushing his boosters to there limit.

"Oh boy. I didn't think it would come to this
but.........." Zero tapped an odd combination into his
forearm keypad.

"But what!? What did you just do?!"
 
If one were to look at Antartica in the distance on
any other day they would see nothing more than a
frozen wasteland. But on this day, if you were to look
at Antartica from a distance you would swear you saw a
second sun rising. They would see the entire southern
ice cap being set ablaze. Tachyon particles colliding
creating a literal time explosion tearing through
reality itself.

"Okay okay I'm up! Stop yelling in my ear!!! And what
is that smell?"

Zero answered his own question by raising his head
only to find himself in the middle of a rather large
garbage bin tucked away neatly in the back alley
between a sushi restaurant and a car garage. Pulling
himself out of the mass of human refuse proved to be
harder than usual considering the sluggishness that
accompanies an emergency restart.

"Damn I feel like crap. How'd you get back on-line so
fast X?"

"I just skipped Scandisk. Unlike you my system doesn't
corrupt as easily as yours. I told you C.O.R was too
buggy but no..'Windows 3000 isn't network compatible.'
you said"

"Will you shut-up..........What time is it?"

"2:34 pm. Year 2000. We made it......I think."

"I don't think were out of it just yet......"

Zero began typing on his forearm keypad yet again,
much to apparent confusion and annoyance of X.

"First question. What did you do back in Antartica and
what are you doing now?"

"I was simply relaying a message back to HQ that we
were going to breach back into past and to get a good
lock on us just before we dove. What I'm doing right
now is getting a good readout on what exactly came
into the past with us."

"I would assume the stealth jet and the Maverick since
thats what the tachyon build up was centered around.
It was a crazy idea to begin with to try and breach an
object of that mass and weight. The temporal explosion
must have wiped out half of Antartica."

"I know that but....oh no. This is exactly what I was
worried about." Zero�s eyes widened as he stared at
the keypad.

"What is it. Did some of those Mav troops dive back
with us?"

"No they were all vaporized. What did come back with
us was the temporal explosion itself........"

"What....."

"Apparently some of the energy didn't completely
dissipate like the rest did in Antartica. Instead it
rode the time warp with us. But its moving much slower
and it hasn't hit this time yet."

"Perfect. What about the Mav is it anywhere near us?"

"I don't know. I'm not picking up anything.
Considering its a new model I doubt our sensors are
able to pick it up. I am starting get another tachyon
build up exactly ten miles from our
location............."

Zero reached up to tap his newly installed silver
crystal still embedded in his helmet. As a result
strands of light began to pour out of the crystal and
consume Zero's form. When the light dissipates a much
more human looking and non-armoured but still clothed
Zero stood in his place.

"You didn't tell me it was a 3-D masking device as
well......"

"Surprise surprise. Get human, walking around in full
body armor is most likely gonna get a few stares."

Another brief burst of light engulfed the alleyway as
a human Zero and X slowly crept out from the hiding
place.

"I estimate we have about eleven minutes before the
energy breaches into this time. And I have no idea
exactly how much of the explosion is being sent back."

The two immediately began to make a mad dash toward
the center of the massive metropolitan city, the
source of the tachyon build-up. Inadvertently almost
running over two familiar women along the way.

"Thank you for watching where you were going!!!" X
heard a voice from behind him causing him to stop dead
in his tracks. "What the.........Bio-scan."

Bio-scan detects unusually large traces of an unknown
light spectrum particle. Continue scanning? Y/N

"X! Hurry up. We have three minutes!!!"

"Yeah......I'm comin."

He ran to catch up with his partner who had a puzzled
look as to why X stopped especially in a situation
like this.

"What was so important?"

"Zero. I think I just found our Maverick......."






To Be Continued..............
