From Zero To Hero Part Two: There And Back Again [COMPLETED]

Chapter 2: Not Again!

"Again! You can't be serious?" Ben exclaims.

"Yes again and I'm serious," Arlie confirms.

"We can't time travel again. It's very dangerous," Ben is disappointed.

"I thought we agreed we would follow what my vision says," Arlie sighs.

"We did but...this again. I'm out," Ben backs out.

"You just agreed a minute ago," Arlie is annoyed by his brother.

"Fine! If you're not coming. I'll do it myself," Arlie walks to the basement.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Ben follows Arlie.

Arlie heads to the basement, knowing that their time machine will be there.

"Where is it?" Arlie starts to find the machine.

"Arlie, take it easy," Ben tries to calm his brother.

"Arlie!" Ben exclaims.

"What!" Arlie exclaims.

"Remember this?" Ben shows the watch.

"It's the watch. We used this in order to escape Jair," Arlie recounts.

Arlie sets the year on the watch and suddenly pressed it, transporting them to the year, 2040.

"Where are we?" Ben and Arlie land in a desert-like land.

"Says on the watch that we're in the exact same spot. In your house...just twenty years into the future," Arlie wipes the watch.

"Then why does it look like Sahara here?" Ben is confused.

"Because this is a post-apocalyptic Earth," Arlie deduces.

"Shit. This is worse than Jair," Ben sighs in fear.

"Maybe. Maybe not," Arlie tries to stay positive.

"Now we need to find food and shelter to survive," Ben says as they walk across barren lands.

"Now that we're here. Do you have any visions?" Ben asks.

"Nope. Not a single migraine or vision," Arlie noted.

"So your visions aren't going to guide us anymore? Great," Ben disappointingly shakes his head.

"The watch...it just stopped working," Arlie tries pressing the watch.

"That's impossible. I always charge that before I go to bed," Ben checks his watch.

"Mine's dead too," Ben sighs.

"I guess...tech isn't here to help us too," Arlie puts the watch in his pocket.

Tired of walking, the brothers decided to rest, taking a deep breath. However, Ben sees something dangerous.

"Um...Arlie?" Ben warns Arlie.

"Oh no. Sandstorm," Arlie's eyes widen.

"It's getting bigger!" Ben shouts as they run.

They get up as fast as they can. Running for their lives, the boys see an underground bunker and they try opening it. As soon as Ben opens the bunker, he pushes Arlie down and quickly closes it as the violent storm gets to him thus separating the brothers.

"Ben!" Arlie shouts as the bunker closes.

Unable to go out, Arlie had no choice but to stay safe, hoping that his brother was alive and okay. An hour later, someone opens Arlie's bunker.
