"Hmph" Cynthia said in response to her being ignored. "That's fine." She looked to the picnic wonan and smiled, saying "That's cute."

"I can," the brown haired man says, placing his hands together as the threads on his fingers join into one 'ball' of temporal energy.
Pulling his hands apart the 'ball' becomes more of a disk, and then grows bigger forming a 'window', though the surface of it was highly murky, its general shape was that of an elongated disk, taller then it is wide. "If you can tell me an exact date, I can make it more fine tuned, by making it the day before so you have more time to plan, with out too long of a wait," he says, his eyes unwavering but his irises have gone extremely pale, and are almost white.

The girl nodded. "Yup! A reform program! I used to be a sociopathic genocidal dictator before I reformed! I'm a florist now. And sometimes a science teacher... though I keep getting fired." The woman then looked down, grumbling incoherently, though the words "A-Bomb" and "curriculum" could be heard.
The girl frowned when the portal started being formed. "You shouldn't do that." She said. "The timeline is fragile, the slightest adjustment can make it collapse onto itself. Please... d-don't do it. Time travel's scary..."

"Hmm, that's an intresting trick you've got there." Cynthia cracked her knuckles as if getting ready for battle. "But, I agree with our little reformed scientist here, you really shouldn't do this."

"How much can saving the life of one girl, a month ago, really effect?" he asks the girl, turning his pale eyes on her.

"It can affect alot potentially" Cynthia said obviously speaking out of turn. ", heck, if you kill an insect in the past it can potentially have disastrous consequences on today. If she was supposed to die then welll, she should stay dead, bringing her back would most likely mean disaster." Cynthia shrugs "Now with that said there IS a chance for only her survival to be affected but when it comes right down to it, it's very risky and very reckless."

"I'm willing to believe that its worth the risk to save his sister's life, to in turn save the people he wants to get revenge on for ganging up on her," he says, "Plus, I shall be escorting him, so that all he does is rescue her, and then I'll have to bring them back."

The girl raised her hand. "I know good and well what it can do! I... I tried it once. There's so many things that can go wrong. You can unintentionally warp the future, you could cause more harm than what was previously done. Or... or..." The girl paled and looked away. "You can get caught in a casualty loop...."

It seemed as if he largely wasn't listening to their rambling, but at the last comment, the man with the ponytail glanced toward the scientist. "Casualty loop?"

"I believe she is referring to say, your past self gets killed, or otherwise rendered unable to traverse back in time to perform the event of rescuing your sister would in effect, kill you, or poof you out of existence cause you wouldn't exist there cause going along the time stream it'd be impossible for you to travel back in time. Thus, we both have to go, and snatch your sister out of that time so its as if she was obliterated back then while transporting all 3 of us back to our time, so you'd still perform the same actions you did, thinking she was killed. Then we'd meet, and I'd help you go back in time and rescue her and take you two back," he says in one long breath.

"For someone supposedly able to travel through time, you're pretty ignorant on the details." The woman said to the chronomancer, scowling.
She then turned back to Master Zero. "A casualty loop, also sometimes known as a predestination paradox, is when a person goes back in time, most times to stop something from happening, and ends up causing it due to his knowledge of the inident. For example, a man loses everything in a fire. The police suspected it was arson. So, the man decides that he'll investigate. He travels back in time to the night of the arson. While he's in the home looking for the guilty party, he accidentally knocks a candle over. By the time he notices, the fire is out of control. Casualty loop. It doesn't stop there, either." Karen said, shaking her head. "Some people, after seeing such a thing, become obsessed with turning things right. One could almost say they've become dependant. They'll go back in time again and again, each time rendering the same result. Failure. And each time, they go over that painful memory. Over, and over, and over, and over and over again. But they keep trying, no matter how many times they're tortured by the image, they see it as the only solution. The casualty loop only breaks when the traveller accepts the past for what it is."
The girl stared into Master Zero's eyes. "Can you do it? Do you really think, if that's the case, that you'd be able to beat the casualty loop? Most people are too scarred to move on after they break free."
She then glared over at the chronomancer. "And you, do you really think your supervision is failproof? I doubt it. If you're irresponsible enough to fool around with time, I doubt you could babysit someone in such a dire situation."

Master Zero clenched his fist before him. "I am Master Zero, Class S Purifier Unit, the strongest in the galaxy. I won't be beaten. If I have to tear your proverbial house down to keep it from burning, I am well-equipped and willing to take such an action."

Ignancy simply started to listen to everything that was going on. He smirked at the Girl who knew so much about the time ine. "The Butterfly Effect, as some would say." he then looked to the Edenite and shook his head, it seemed that the things head was stronger than his fist. "Would you listen to yourself. Your acting like a little girl." he looked over at the scientist. "No offense."
The assassin turned his eyes back to the being. "Accept that she is gone. Accept her death, and move on. That way, you may accomplish more than just revenge. Revenge is nothing but a sadistic emotion that 'Carbons' feel." he then tilted his head to the side. "Or you can destroy everything that you may have fought for, warp the time-line and possibly fuck everything up that you had."
The assassin simply crossed his arms into eachtoher and started to lean on one foot. "You can't calculate everything, you will fail every now and then, and at this. You cannot win." it seemed the Assassin was talking from his real soul, that Archangel that he really was.

Master Zero leveled his gaze at the fallen angel. "I don't believe in the no-win scenario." He turned back to Veros. "Chronomancer, is that portal ready?"

Ignancy simply stared at him. "I cannot let you leave and destroy the realms.. that is.. unacceptable.." he finally started to make his way over to the portal and in between it and the Edenite. "You wil;l have to go threw me to get to it. As hard as you may try, I am a much more worthy enemy than you may think, arrogant one." he said. He wasn't making any promises, but this was unacceptable. "For the honor of my clan, I will stop you.." he stated.
