Mag-log in"I knew it. The cracks in the time vortex are everywhere. Even in omega-range one is me running across the road "
"This sounds serious," said the elf.
"Heroic" corrected James.
She smiled. He also.
Mia was bad.
"All right. I will show you where the hole is. Comes with"

A few more courses later, they were faced with the same phenomenon that Mia had met already in the pedestrian zone. James and the elves were surprisingly close to each other in front of the portal.
"Clearly. A crack, "confirmed James. "We have to clean. It is the only way out. And you should watch out for. Since everything can in fact come out "
The elf nodded. "Is not it dangerous in there to jump?"
"Oh but. But that's the risk if you want to save the world, "James grinned and pretended to obercool when he put on his sunglasses. And he looked so stupid in his outfit. The elf did not seem to notice. She bent down to him and blew him a kiss on the cheek.
"Then take care of yourself. And come by again. I'm glad"
"Let's go!" Exclaimed Mia, before James could reply. That was disgusting! Without thinking she called a "goodbye" to the outside, then grabbed James in bathrobe and pushed him into the portal. After that, she jumped himself into it and clung to his arm. Everything revolved. And wiggled. That did not stop her from asking him: "Are you always like this ?!"
"What ?!" shouted James against the noise.
"To flirt The next best woman and take!"
"I have not taken you! You are running after me! "
"Be glad that I have no hand to slaps free" growled Mia, but she had to smile.
"Where do we get out?"
"No idea," James replied.
And then there was a bang and everything went black.

"Slowly you are to me but really make a statement guilty," Mia demanded a her right as she touched around with a cocktail stick in her sparkling Fawkes. She did not know what was in there, but it left a taste of a lot of sugar and alcohol on her tongue and that helped against the dizziness after the renewed space fall.
This time they had landed in a kind of Space Cafe. She had no time to behave somehow striking, James had adapted to the new situation and they pulled to the next table so quickly. He did not fall here at large, in his outfit. The buzz was even more colorful than anything she had ever seen. Now she just looked no longer so much they confused all the unknown shapes and colors.
"Yes, everything was a bit chaotic, what?" James asked with a wry grin. "Can not possibly know that we again find a lost race in the first two hours of our cooperation"
"Or be killed by an elevator"
"Or jump at H & M out of the window"
"Or be killed by kitchen appliances"
James nodded slowly. "Yes ... we have experienced really a lot until now"
"And I have really a lot of questions," confirmed Mia.
"Well then let's go leg". James reached for his cocktail, a 'Fired Burns', and so-called an eternity at its straw.
"First of all: why these cocktails have English names? We're the middle of nowhere! "
"English is just pretty close to the original language of the Federation ... of course there are a few variations, but basically it is as good as the same. Is of course no coincidence. Who at that time interspersed in your civilization, that you prepared for if the distance matrix is eventually canceled "
"Since we're on the next point," nodded Mia. "The distance matrix. What the hell is that?!"
James sighed. "Your people for yet so fascinated by black holes. It is basically the same: from the outside it looks as if the object would move to normal soon, but in fact the time has stood still for it almost without being aware of it that. Further out, then wait a vast network, all traps, which runs the risk of approaching the origin of the matrix. "
Mia swallowed. "And ... when will it be resolved?"
"Oh, we should not fool ourselves," said James dry. "Once in the matrix, always in the matrix. You will forever in your own, endless nutshell life and never understand how freedom is actually close "
Mia stared into her glass. "That's pretty depressing ..."
"Maybe so." James shrugged. "Further questions?"
"Calling follower?". Mia tried not to think about what James had opened her earlier. 'You'll never understand how close the freedom lies'. No way. "What's this?"
"Community service. For the people who do not know to the Academy, where it goes. The then travel around, getting their nose and do what they like "
"And you like to save the world?" Asked Mia.
"Yes, we can tell. I am, then to preserve one of those guys who are waiting for the apocalypse around the world before it. However, I did not expect that it would go so fast "
"Which brings us to the next question would be," Mia picked up the thread again. "What's going on here?"
"There's been a few weeks all cracks in the time vortex. These are holes in the space-time construct that could lead almost anywhere, in any time, any place "
"And what does that mean?"
"Galaxies that must never collide, collide. Deferred sectors go outside their area and discover the reality much sooner than predicted. Races meet, that never would have been allowed to meet and wars arise, new races, mutants. Techniques merge, new weapons are being built, the universe is in chaos. Not really that great ... "
Mia shook her head. "And that was in the pedestrian zone ...?"
Mia ..."There was a voice. Mia tried to open his eyes, but everything was bathed in blinding white. No more headaches. No drawing in the back. Warmth everywhere and the absolute immateriality, a feeling of weightlessness as flowed through all her limbs."What? ..." she wanted to ask, but all she got out, was a pitiful sound."Sssh ...", it came back. "Do not speak. Stay calm. Please do not be alarmed now, we are nothing "Everything in it tightened. Since the memories were back. James. Where was James? She desperately tried to move."Shhh!" The voice went again. "All is well. It's me, James "Relieved, she sighed with relief. Okay. So you had made it. Or not? They were nothing ..."It's all right," continued James continued as if he had read her mind. "We made it. The machine is destroyed. But we have destroyed the time vacuum. It was a bit like was in the hall with the head ... that moment everywhere and when we demolished the power
Blurred view she staggered to the switchboard."There's no off switch ..." she mumbled confused. "There must be a switch give ..."She desperately looked up at James. Each color was now gone from his face."I did not poison you ..." she cried. "It was just a biscuit ..."James smiled weakly. He was not angry with her. As well as? He was never angry with her.But he still had not let go. And, although it's really a pain to be had, since hanging up. And that meant ..."Wait," cried, Mia, "You still have hope! There is a solution, there is a way! James! James !! ""Do not rejoice too soon ..." gasped James hoarse. "But there is a switch. There is always a. He is pretty well protected ... "How automatically migrated Mia's look at a small tube between all the buttons. Their premonition was confirmed: behind was a red button. And she knew at least since the elevator: it was always the red button that was crucial.But her fing
Quick!" He cried. "There is a lot more to come! We need to get up there! To the main supply! "He pointed to the glass capsule was mounted in a kind of column, the sticking wound with cables in height. There were little more than a few meters. Mia smiled relieved. That was easier than I thought.With a few leaps she was with James, who was still pretty green around the nose and followed him on the stand of cables. The room still served as a fortress, not a quake came out to here. For that now the door opened. There were white elves. Lots. White elves.James bit into the handle of the gun and went to the climbing. Mia followed him as fast as it came, and again she cursed herself for being so so been bad in sports."Seize! You must not stop our plan for revenge! "The Weißelfin screamed shrilly. They had arrived in person.And it was not as easy as thought .. James had almost reached the top of the column, in which the cables led and stretched a
Suddenly the idyll of the area was destroyed by a violent earthquake. The floor bucked beneath her feet, gave the shelves among them by. All of a sudden the world consisted of the flutter of frightened sides and the dull impacts of covers on the floor. Within seconds, Mia gave legs under the hits after and then everything was dark at once. Someone choked.And the quake was not to; On the contrary, a shock followed the next and so more and more weight was added on her back. The grandfather screamed in agony and shortly thereafter someone rummaged through the sea of bric-Krams and scooped Mia's body free. James pulled her to her feet and tried swaying to keep on his feet, as around them screamed the world. He was pale."D ... you n ... not z..zufällig V ... Vitamin C ... C, O ... right?""What have you done ?! again," Mia stumbled to the side, again rebelled against his burden than the bottom."I ... I told you ... Ha ... Hafera ... allergiee ..."
Really ?!" asked Mia disbelief. "Wardrobe? Yet again?!"James was stopped by a gray tuft of fur from replying. It was a dog. Indeed. A space dog. He looked a little like an Old English Sheepdog, with bright orange eyes. As James. Just as a dog. Mia laughed.But then she was interrupted by a further, massive quake that everything brought to wobble. Only now she looked around and found that they were replete with all sorts of things in a tiny room. A globe. A map with abstruse landscapes it. A huge, old clock, which was equipped with 16 instead of 12 digits. And now it all crashed to the ground. Tiny shelves overflowing with books, now poured its contents over the floor like a rain of letters. James grabbed again Mia's hand and pulled her out the door, which was their only salvation from the hard bindings.The dog followed them, tail wagging, as if all that did not notice. The pure joy of their presence spoke from his blank eyes and involuntarily Mia wondered what
"... but actually I think it's quite nice as world savior"It seemed as if he had a little resigned to himself, as he had told his story. Mia smiled and looked at him.Imperceptibly, their faces had come a little closer. Mia knew she had to try at least once to kiss him. Just to see if there perhaps but could not give more than friendship a bit.She felt his breath on her face. He had closed his eyes. They did the sameand then they kissed. It was not very long, intimate kiss, but he was special. She thought of the people with the universe-eye, to the White Elves, the fat woman from the wedding switch and the husband she had kicked into the water, which the chameleon-people and everything else they had experienced together. As friends. Not as a couple. As friends.Slowly pulled apart.For a while nothing happened.Her lips still tingled.Then they shook their heads in unison."No," James said."Simply no," nodded
