The fracture explodes wider.
Wind tears through the room.
More people fall from the collapsing timelines.
Soldiers.
Scientists.
Civilians.
Chaos grows.
Jonas shouts.
"We are officially overcrowded!"
Future Kael studies the fracture.
"…it's accelerating."
Seraphine nods.
"Yes."
Kael grabs her arm.
"How long?"
Seraphine answers calmly.
"Hours."
Aria whispers.
"…until what?"
Seraphine replies.
"The final merge."
The Observer speaks again.
"Temporal war probability increasing."
Jonas groans.
"Oh good."
Seraphine looks at him.
"He's not joking."
Future Kael turns to the soldiers from the fracture.
"They're from different realities."
Elias nods slowly.
"Different histories."
Jonas mutters.
"Different problems."
The cracks thunder again.
And then—
A massive explosion echoes from the tunnel.
Everyone turns.
A new group storms into the room.
Armed.
Organized.
And wearing the symbol of the Keepers.
Kael whispers.
"…they brought the army."
