The Dark Sunbird

Into The Future

Rose woke up, lying on the sofa in Joker's airship.

She sat up and saw the other thieves, who were all relieved to see that she was okay.

           
Rose: What happened?

Arsené: You were unconscious, from using your powers too much, but it's fine now!

            
Then, Rose remembered it.

          
Rose: Wait! Where's Akai?!

Joker: We don't know!

              
Rose was really sad now..........

Does that mean, the crystals could control him again?

                
Chibi: We're all very sorry, Rose!

Aura: But don't worry! If we can find the other pieces, everything will be alright again!!

Rose: *nods* Okay..............

Arsené: There's only one piece left!

Everyone else: Huh?

Arsené: Look!
                
                   
The purple-haired phantom thief showed the three pieces which they already had, to the other thieves.

They were glowing very, very bright.
             

Arsené: The pieces are glowing brighter than ever before! They are only missing one last piece!

Chibi: And that piece would be where?

Arsené: I dunno!

Everyone: *facepalm*

         
Suddenly, Rose remembered the picture that came to her mind, before.

That picture of the two little boys, stealing a small, red crystal.

And the hoarding, she saw there.........

The year was.............

..............2036!!!!

               
Rose: I think I know where it is!!
         

(Meanwhile, with Akai)

Akai was standing on a roof, looking at the moon.

He was back in his human form, now.

Akai: Rose......... I'm sorry.......... I brought you in such danger.............

      
Suddenly, the two crystals that he had in his hands, glowed very bright.

Akai: Huh?

         
Than, the voice from the first time this has happened, came back.

???: The last crystal is 20 years in the future! Go and find it.........

            
Akai's eyes turned blood-red again.

He held one of the crystals into the light of the moon and then, he disappeared in a bright, red light.

                  
(Back at the sky Joker)

Arsené: So when you were unconscious, you saw the future, where two little boys stole a crystal that looked like a piece of the Lost Gem?

Rose: Yes.

Aura: But how's that even possible?

Arsené: It must be cause of both the time crossing connection between the pieces of the Lost Gem and Rose's time powers!

Aura: Oooooooooh! Now I get it!

               
Chibi: So the last piece of the Lost Gem is 20 years in the future?

Arsené: Correct!

Joker: So you're saying we're gonna do a time-travel?

Shadow: Again?!

Aura: Aw, yay! I never did a time-travel with you guys!

Shadow: This is so gonna suck! Can't me and Rose wait here for you guys?

Rose: Big brother! We have to do this!

Chibi: We have to save Akai!

Shadow: He kidnapped Rose!

Chibi: And~ he saved her life, just now!

Shadow:........

Aura: Ooooooooooo~🤭!

Joker: Gyahahaha! A little girl defeated you in a war of words!

Shadow: Shut up!

Queen: And how exactly will we be able to travel into the future?

Arsené: Easy! The same way as I did! With the crystals!

Joker: Alright then! Let's go!

Arsené: Good! Take each other by the hands!

Everyone: Okay!

               
They all took each other by the hands, forming a circle around the purple thief.

            
Arsené: Alright then! To the 20th of November! The year 2036!

        
Arsené held one the crystals into the air and they all disappeared in a bright, red light.

               

When Joker and the others opened their eyes, they were no longer in the Sky Joker.

They were standing on a building and it was in the middle of the night.

         
Aura: Are we really in the future?

Arsené: Yes! The 20th November 2036!

Joker: Alright then! Time to make a future miracle!!

Everyone: Yes!
