The first soldier steps out of the fracture.
Armor glowing with strange symbols.
Then another.
And another.
Jonas whispers.
"…we're being invaded."
Future Kael shakes his head.
"No."
Aria watches them carefully.
"They're not attacking."
The soldiers look around the room.
Confused.
Like they were dragged here by force.
Elias whispers.
"The convergence pulled them."
More figures appear.
Scientists.
Soldiers.
Strangers from dozens of worlds.
Reality groans under the pressure.
Orion stares at the chaos.
"…this wasn't part of the plan."
Kael snaps.
"You don't have a plan anymore."
The Observer watches silently.
Studying the growing crowd.
Then—
A woman steps through the fracture.
Calm.
Powerful.
The soldiers immediately step aside.
Jonas whispers.
"…uh."
"She looks important."
The woman's eyes land on Kael.
Recognition flashes.
"Finally."
Aria frowns.
"Who is that?"
Future Kael whispers.
"…that's impossible."
Aria looks at him.
"Who is she?"
His voice drops.
"…the woman who ended the Time War."
The woman smiles slightly.
And looks directly at Aria.
"I've been searching for you."
