(But they're a puddle. No one can hurt a puddle, and they can pop back out at any time.)

Zais smirked and was suddenly in front of the confused trio. In a swift motion he knocked all three out. He glanced abck at Time Keeper. "I love it when you do that."

A peculiar portal manifested nearby. Strange combinations of green and gold and black swirled around it. A figure appeared in it, kneeling.
The Time Keeper watched the figure rise with obvious disgust. "So, you decided to finally show up, huh, Karzem?"
"Well," Karzem sneered. "I was going to stop them from escaping. But then you did your whole time-hax thing and fixed it yourself, and that's just FANTASTIC!" He chuckled sarcastically. (Think Dr. Cox from Scrubs)
"They're time travelers, Karzem." Karzem's smile vanished. "And I don't remember ever seeing them before in any time. And I've been all over the Timestream."
"So, where are they from?"
"That's what you're going to figure out."
"I'm not your errand boy, Stansilaus! If she knew what you were - !"
"She is not nearly as powerful as I am, Karzem. And if she were half as useful as she could be, then she'd be on her back in my bed."
"You will not speak of her in that way! Take it back or I'll - !"
The Time Keeper stopped his threat with a single finger pointed in his face. "You'll what?" He leaned closer. "I can go back and make it so that you don't exist. And yes, I know that you are reborn after each death, but that's nothing for me to fix. So, be a good boy and go talk to my brother for me, okay?" There was so much condescension in his voice that it physically pained Karzem to listen.
"Fine. I will go."
"You'll go, what?"
"I'll go, sir." He vanished a second later, fuming.

Zais watched the interaction with a small trace of glee. "Well now, that was interesting." he said. "He certainly does get worked up about her doesn't she?" (who r we talking about? O.o)

"Yes he does, but he knows his place: under my foot." He smiled. Now as for these fellows here," Dace, Theska, and nicool's person "I suggest the Crystallis."
As if on cue, the Guardian appeared, covered from head to toe in metal armor, battle axe in hand, black wings spread behind him. "You called?" His voice was metallic behind that helmet (how did he see?).
"Take these...people to the Crystallis and lock them away until we decided what to do with them."
"It shall be done."
Once he was gone with the now-prisoners, The Time Keeper turned back to Zais. "So what shall we do with them? Once we figure out how they time-traveled in the first place."

Zais hummed. "That man Theska...there is something about him....and that other man as well. The girl seemed to be along for the ride, but those two are the key." He said. "Right now it is irrelevant, we own then entirety of Random World and soon beyond. But that man Dace felt out of place. Did you notice? Like he didn't belong in this period of time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dace growled and kicked what he asumed passed for a wall. Their prison was a large cavern of glowing crystal. This place was maddening.
"Damn it!" he swore. "I should have seen it coming. We messed up the past somehow and now both the TIme Keeper and Zais are alive!" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. "It's just like last time.." he muttered. "

"Last time?" Theska sat calmly in his cell. He had been trapped in here for a lot longer in another time. "Dace...I think it's time you tell us what's going on here."

Dace cast a weary glance at Theska. After a llong pause he sighed and nodded. "Yes, I do suppose you deserve to know." he said. He closed his eyes for a moment, gathering his thoughts. "I imagine you are not an idiot, THeska. You have seen my..ability." he raised his arm with the watch-like item attached. "I can travel the time-stream at will. Simply put, I am from the future."
He let the statement hang in the air for a moment. " Originally I was born in a city known as Dynasty City, which will not be found for a good while yet. It was a ...less than ideal place for raising a child, most of which I had to do on my own. Anyway, some bigwigs of the city decided to start messing around with more mysterious aspects of the scientific field of study. And they discovered they could briefly time travel. Being the greedy bastards they were, they tried pressing their luck.
Dace shook his head. "It ended up with Dynasty City being frozen in time for almost a thousand years. The rest of that story is simple. When we came to our people simply integrated with society, not as hard as you might think. I grew up almost a thousand years after I was born, grew accustomed to my life."
"Random World of the future was a lot brighter of a place than it is now. The time that Zais ruled, known as the Dark Era, had been over for hundreds of years. Random World was governed by three ruling bodies of power, dividing the world into three super powers and a few scattered small states. A tenuous peace existed between the nations, until one decided they wanted to rule the entire world. They time traveled back in time to the Dark Era and did...something. Im not sure what. All I know is that the future was changed. For the worse. The rulers of that nation were...changed. It was Zais. He did something to them. I...I came back in time in hopes of stopping Zais."

NOELANI (if you have trouble remembering, just call her Lani) sat not far from Theska and Dace. She softly stroaked Pitter Patter who sat on her shoulder. She had gotten a lot more than she bargained for. "But now you feel you might have made it worse?"

Dace snorted. "That is for sure. Before, there was no Time Keeper to aid Zais. Now...."

Noelani suddenly stood up. "What about the others? Where are they? Half my power is still gone, so Tulia must still be somewhere."

Theska sat and pondered Dace's words. "Now Zais has the Timestream on his side, instead of vice-versa. My this is confusing. He even has enough power to strong-arm the Guardian into obedience."
He glanced around at the crystal prison in which they sat. "Perhaps a more pressing problem is: How do we get out of here?"

Tulia was with them.

Knox and Tulia are still in the other timeline (the one without the Time Keeper), they had snuck into Zais' tower along with Torran, who stay ed behind to fight Gree.
Now they approached the top of the tower to confront the Dark Lord Zais.
wut?
