A man tries to right a wrong in the past.

THE LEGACY
RETURN TO THE PAST
Nick glanced over his shoulder to make sure on one was around. He didn’t want to be seen doing this. His father wouldn’t like it. But Nick didn’t care what his father liked anymore. He was way passed that. He didn’t want to be here anymore after what the Na’en had done to this world. It wasn’t right. He had to do something to fix it. And there was only one way he could do this. He just didn’t want his father to find out.
Nick was sure his father would know what he was about to do eventually. He just wanted him to find out later. Much later. He took his young son’s hand and led the way into the one of the many storage rooms aboard the Mothership orbiting Earth. But this one was different. It con-tained an object that could open a portal. These portal devices where very compact compared to the ones that could open a portal big enough for a Mothership to pass through. These ones could only open portals big enough for a few people to pass through

at a time. It was just what he needed.
As Nick entered the room he glanced around once more just to make sure there were no guards on duty at the time. He didn’t see anyone. He walked over to one of the portable devices. They were much smaller than he remembered. He picked one up and turned it over in his hand. Programming it to take him and his three-year-old son away from this time and to a time before all this happened was going to be easy. Getting it off the Mothership unseen was going to be the hard part.
Nick put it into his backpack and began to leave the room. He headed straight to the shuttle bay and entered one of the smaller shuttle. After strapping Cai into one of the seats he sat down in the pilot’s seat. Once the shuttle had left the Mothership he engaged the cloaking device and headed for Earth, and to the place where he knew he would be safe for the time being.

Fifteen-year-old Kurn came out from behind the storage cabinet once his older brother and neph-ew

had left the room with a smile on his face. Nick and done exactly what he had expected him to do. And he had taken the right portal device that Kurn had already programmed to send his broth-er and the three-year-old away from here. No matter what Nick programmed the device to take him it would not over-ride what Kurn had programmed it to do. Nick would not go to the place he wanted but to somewhere else entirely. Which left Kurn the next in line. Just what he wanted.

Nick picked up his backpack, which contained a few things that would be useful where he was go-ing and slung it over his shoulder. Then took hold of his three-year-old son's hand.
Outside he could hear the screams from many people in the distance. There was chaos and de-struction happening around them, mostly caused by the Na’en that had decided it was time to try and take control. Which they had planned on doing from the start. The Legacy Foundation had tried to warn people about what the Na’en had been planning

for a long time. However most hadn't listened. Now it was too late. The Na'en had invaded, and Nick didn't want any part of it.
The Na'en had arrived on Earth twenty years before, claiming peace. However, that had been a rouse. They wanted this planet for themselves. Nick had no idea what his father, the High Leader of the Na'en, had planned. As soon as he did, he took his young son and was out of there, going to the Legacy Foundation, which he later learned was created by him sometime in the past. So, that’s what he planned to do. Go back into the passed and make things right before they got to this stage. It could be done. He just had to get his hands on one of the time devices stored on the Mothership. That was one of the reason Nick had come here.
Greg Pangarron stepped up behind Nick. “Are you sure you really want to do this?” he asked.
“You know I have no choice in the matter,” Nick answered. “I’m the one who started the Legacy Foundation."
