Why am I doing this again? D:

He was supposed to be dead.

He was pretty sure of it, he had gone to Terra, he had seen the Betas living their normal lives and he had decided to ask Trigger to stop the System.

He had died shortly after that, as he couldn't live that long outside of Elysium.

So why was he here? Why wasn't he in the middle of a coughing fit and about to fall over dead again?

...

And why were there zombies all around?

[Quite AU Master is quite AU, not that anybody is seeing xD]

Yes, I can walk, don't worry about it.

Let's just try to find a way out before anything. [Somehow your Master looks surprisingly energetic, Trigger.]

[HE SEES THAT but right now he has priorities. After he gets him to safety he'll ask questions. But not many.

He gives the Master a small nod and starts walking the path he found in the morning. He would have explored more, but that rotten fruit had left him sitting for quite a while. He walks in silence, his complete attention to the road they were walking.]

[And he walks too, not to far behind.

This is strange, decidedly strange. After being in control of every little thing, he can't help but find the fact that he doesn't know what to do or what is happening both refreshing and unsettling.

For now, just following Trigger is the most logical option, as any Hunter does, Trigger knows how to work with unexpected twists, and of course he doesn't want to be a bother as he is not much of a fighter.]

Be careful, Master... they guide by sound. As long as there is sunlight we're safe.

[Looks over his shoulder, polite smile.]

If you get tired, please tell me. I'll carry you.

[Nods, of course other than lots of clothing rustle he is pretty much silent.

However Trigger seems to be awfully informed about this place, so he whispers a question.]

How long have you been here?

Three days. I woke up further into this place. I tried to contact Sera-san or Yuna-neechan, but there's no way to do it. I've been exploring this place since.

[This...

He has a hunch, maybe reading all of those old fantasy novels wasn't that useless after all.]

When and where did you last see me, Trigger?

[Blink. That was an odd question.]

Three days and 18 hours ago, you were in your house. I was just making sure you didn't need anything.

...Master, do you feel alright?

[Three days and 18 hours ago in his house...

That's... Somehow he can't help but feel a little amount of paranoia sweeping in.

He's in a strange place, and Trigger is behaving strangely... And he knows it wasn't a dream. They went down to Terra, they saw the Betas, he decided to die and stop the System...]

What were my last orders...?

[He needs to confirm this. Even if Trigger's memory was altered he should remember the command to delete the information from the System's Library. If that order is not there...

Then that leaves only two options.]

[A worried frown appears in his face, Master was behaving weirdly...]

You said you'd love some cookies, since you ran out of them. I ordered the chocolate ones you like.

[Stops walking...

The last password, he should ask for that password. Years ago, he made sure that if someone even dared to meddle with Trigger's memory banks, his memory of the name would be destroyed immediately.

A little paranoid, yes, but the whole System depended on that password, and right now the paranoia was growing worse, if someone actually did something to Trigger he'd...

No. He should just ask.]

Tell me my name, would you?

[Stops immediately when he doesn't hear his steps... turns to see him.

He was worried. This place... has this place done something to him?]

Master... Are you sure you're feeling fine?

[He died. He died. He died and Trigger lived with an order, he was supposed to be dead and Trigger was supposed to be stopping the System, he just couldn't be here, there was something wrong...

Once again he looks at Trigger, at those eyes...]

Please confirm the last password.

[He wants to know that Trigger is fine, he wants to make sure that nothing happened, that this place just did something strange, but that it didn't touch him...]

...

[He looks into his Master's eyes, serious. That voice left no room to doubt...

It was a direct order.]

The last password is your name, Master Alexandre.

[And he smiles, relieved. And he can't help a little pet to Trigger's head.]

Confirmed... I apologize for worrying you.

[His memory is untouched then... That only leaves one choice. If that is correct, then somehow this place managed to get two people from different timelines. And if this Trigger comes from the past...]

I think this place may be stranger and more dangerous than I believed.

[Trigger... doesn't really understand what just happened, but seeing Master calm down and smile is enough for him. He leans a bit into the petting.]

Don't worry about that, please. I'm sure your reasons are valid. I should've answered the first time you asked.

[He looks at him, curious now. He had not encountered any other kind of danger besides the annoying creatures.]

You think so?

[... well, he can't help but pet him a little more now.]

I think this place may also be messing with time. Which would explain why I am here, and why the last orders I gave you are not in your memory...

[BLINKS. It...]

Master, did I forget an order you gave me...?

[He's almost bordering "TERRIFIED". How can that be even possible? Trigger makes sure Master's orders are the first ones to be completed!]

I-I'm sorry! I'm truly sorry!

[Sighs, oh Trigger.]

No you didn't, as I believe you never received that order in the first place...

I think we may be coming from different moments in time... [And he can't help a chuckle.] Sera would probably send me to domiciliary arrest for saying something so crazy.

I... ah... didn't fail...?

[HE CAN BREATHE EASILY NOW.

Of course, he now pays attention to the whole "different times" thing.]

It's not crazy! It... It's a bit confusing, but she wouldn't do that!

So... why do you think we're from different times...?

[Once again he smiles, and nods.] Of course she would.

[And he makes a little pause, he can't tell Trigger that he died or he'll go crazy...]

I remember giving you some orders you wouldn't forget... And of course I remember not eating cookies in the last month.

[He checks his memory banks in a second, just to make sure he really didn't forget a thing.]

I see... that's... really strange.

[He's used to Master's games but this... he wouldn't dare not to believe him, especially after he asked for the last password. His Master means all this, and thus, he believes in what he says.

....that doesn't mean Trigger is not confused. He is. A lot.]

Yes, it is.

[He looks around, that unsettling feeling of uncertainty is still there, but it is slowly turning more and more into fascination.

Will he be able to shine as the sun too...?]

Let's continue, Trigger. Even if I am feeling all right now, I don't know for how much longer it will be like this, and I don't want to trouble you too much.

Ah! Y-yes! Please follow me!

[Getting Master out becomes priority number 1 again, even when he's still thinking about what just happened. This had to be the weirdest chat he has had with Master in a very long time...]

[At least now he's not asking you to watch him die and destroy the System? XD

And so, he will patiently (and silently) follow Trigger until they find their way into the road to San Miguel.]

THERE IS NO TYPO.

I SEE NO TYPO.

THE TYPOTRIX XD

STOP MAKING ME CHOKE.

I'M SO SORRY.
