In the year 2468



"Well, my dear, you are very clever. I did not think that you would get this far. You raised an army consisting of 150,000 rebels and attacked the city of Venice. Thanks to you, the city is nothing but rubble Ashes. You missed only one small point. "" Which one? "Cora tried to free herself from the shackles that tied her to an armchair, but to no avail. She looked up and saw the sweaty face of the officer who had caught and tortured her. Cora lowered her gaze again and examined her numerous wounds. “It's not your fault that the world is going to end, you didn't know it.” “What do you mean by that?” The officer screwed up his face in a mocking grin. “I mean that you didn't know there was a machine in Venice that had started a chain reaction.” A little irritated, Cora asked: “What is the cause of this goddamn chain reaction?"" It will, or rather it has wiped out all major cities in the world. "" No ..... you can't do that! "Laughing, the officer leaned over to Cora and whispered in her ear:" It wasn't us, it was you. "The officer looked at the blue-eyed beauty again before he left the room and bolted the door. Now Cora was alone. She seized the opportunity to break free, but as the first time it failed. Desperately she tried to remember what her friend had taught her, but couldn't think of anything. Slowly but surely she gave up hope of ever getting out of here safely to come.

Cora closed her eyes for a moment and thought about her past.



It all started with the disappearance of my parents. I looked everywhere for them and the only thing I found were notes. Notes from my life so far.

I don't know what they mean, but I've been followed ever since I got these notes.Wherever I go, I feel these looks everywhere. Even when I'm at home, I know that I'm being watched. What shall I do? I think I'm going insane.

Not only do I have problems, the whole world has one. It's war. At first it was just a small fight between a few countries but it got gigantic when an organization called "God" got involved. This organization fired rockets at the warring countries and started a war. Each of the countries believed the other had shot. How wrong they were! They are just puppets in an evil game that never seems to end. And I, I am also a puppet who fell into a trap just like everyone else.



Suddenly Cora heard someone unlock the door and enter. She couldn't see who it was because it was pitch black in the room.

“Who are you?” “It's me, Cora! Ronja” “Thank God, I thought I'd have to stay here forever.Please untie me "" Yeah, don't rush me! " " How did you find me? "asked Cora." That wasn't difficult. We followed you and your kidnappers. "" You and the soldiers saw how they kidnapped me and don't intervene right away. I would have saved myself a lot of pain. "" I'm sorry, but we needed to know where her hiding place is so we can destroy it! "When Ronja had finally freed Cora, the girls ran out of the room. The two ran down a corridor and finally outside.



Two days passed after Cora's captivity. In the meantime she was in her apartment and had researched the machine that had brought so much misery to the world. What she found almost took her breath away. The machine had been around since 1975 and no one had known about it except the governor of Venice John Catherfield and a scientist named Bibidus.

After a short thought, Cora decided to talk to Ronja about the matter.Cora left her apartment, but before she could leave it she had to stroke her cats Simon and Laila extensively. There were two Persian cats. On the street she took a deep breath and admired the houses in the city of Siena (the city still exists because it is one of the small towns). They were tall skyscrapers that seemed to reach up to the sky. But then she saw a destroyed building, between the beautiful metal houses. It was the former town hall Palazzo Publico. It was destroyed by the organization because it was occupied by a terrorist group. "The terrorist group was just like us against the organization and that's why they had to die. If we didn't have such a good hiding place, we would certainly be dead already." Cora didn't want to think about it any longer and therefore went on to the center of the city, the Piazza del Campo square. When she got there, she walked a string towards the fountain that stood in the middle of the square.She looked around and found with satisfaction that no one was around. Cora pushed a secret switch that was in the dried up well. A trap door opened nearby. Without hesitation, she sauntered to the trapdoor and descended a crooked staircase. After a few minutes she came downstairs. Now she had to take some security precautions to finally get to her destination: the command center. When she had that behind her, she saw Ronja running towards her. "Hello! Nice to see you here again. I thought you were split up overnight."

"Haha, I'm laughing crookedly. You know exactly that I was looking for something about the machine and found it." "Really? You found something? What?" Asked Ronja curiously. "Let me sit down. I'll tell you everything right away." Ronja nodded and led Cora into an adjoining room, where there was a table and two armchairs. Cora felt very uncomfortable in this room, it felt like it was meant for interrogation.Ronja noticed that Cora was uncomfortable with this room, but she couldn't do anything because apart from the command center there were only two other rooms and those were the infirmary and the toilet and these were even less suitable for a quiet conversation than this. Cora told Ronja everything she had found out. After a short pause, Ronja said: "I know how you can change what has happened. You have to go to this crazy Doctor Valinus who invented the time machine and ask him if you can travel into the past with his time machine." so you mean, I should try to destroy the machine before it is attached, right? ”“ Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say, so I had fun with the doctor! ”Ronja left the room laughing. "It's easy for her to talk but she doesn't have to go to these madmen," thought Cora on the way to the laboratory, where Valinus should be. Cora had to cross half the city and a couple of times she was almost spotted by members of the organization who combed the city to find the entrance to her hiding place.When she finally got there, she smelled that the doctor was doing one of his experiments again. She was about to open the door when a loud bang broke the silence. "Oh no! What did he do again?" Cora ran into the laboratory. Horrified, she stopped when she saw the chaos and worst of all, she couldn't see the doctor anywhere. Suddenly she heard a laugh. She looked around and saw the laughing doctor among a pile of books. The doctor was a short man who only had a few white hairs on his head and he wore a torn white coat and thick glasses on his nose, like last time. "Eh, hello doctor, are you all right?" Cora asked carefully. "Yes, little one, I'm fine. I just failed one experiment. What do you want here?" Cora told him the bare minimums and finally asked him: "Can you help me now or not?" "I think so, follow me." Cora followed the doctor.He led her into a large room. But the strange thing was that there was only one big machine here. She looked questioningly at the doctor. He replied to her questioning look: "This is the only time machine in the world and it was invented by me!" Valinus looked proudly at his masterpiece. After a while he said: "Come on, let's start, we mustn't waste any time." Cora stepped up to the time machine and examined it carefully. It looked more like an oversized egg made of metal. Valinus opened the egg and Cora was about to go in when the doctor stopped her: "Do you want to go in like that? You can forget that, I'll give you the right clothes here." "What! Why do I have to change?" Asked Cora shocked. "Well, I guess you don't want to freeze to death. If you pull through the time it can be up to - 300 degrees, so don't be so fluffy and put on this special suit." Without arguing, she put on the black suit, she also got it another black metal top and a belt that she tied around her waist.A pocket was attached to the belt containing explosives that had been processed in small capsules but had not lost their explosive power. In addition, various tools with which she could repair the time machine if necessary and the most important thing: the construction plan for the time machine. She also carried a pistol. She put the ammunition in her pocket. Specialty medicine was also included. Nothing could stop her now. She opened the time machine and waved goodbye to the doctor again. She set her first foot in the time machine when suddenly the door of the laboratory was pushed open. Men came in. They were men from the organization. After a moment of hesitation, Cora moved further into the time machine. She was almost there when a shot was fired. The only thing I was left with was the stabbing pain in her shoulder as the time machine closed and Cora was promoted 494 years into the past.


Cora woke up in a church. She looked around and saw the door. From afar she saw that the door was locked. She took one of her capsules and threw it on the door. An excruciating pain shot through her at the movement, but she had achieved her goal. The door was open. Cora took a few steps towards the exit when she suddenly saw a figure standing in front of the church and looking in their direction. The person didn't seem nervous or even scared, even though any normal person would have run away screaming if a door exploded. She stood there smoking a cigarette. You could see the glow of the cigarette because it was already dark. Cora took a few more steps towards the person and now realized that it was a woman who was not much
