"Sir?" Quinn said. "Look at the date on this. Isn't that the date everyone said the world's going to end." Lethero took the paper from Quinn and looked at the date on top: December 21, 2012.
Lethero took out the GPS and checked the date setting on it. "Looks like todays January 1, 2013."
"How's that possible?" Hayden asked. "When we went into that cave it was 2010. How could we have jumped three years."
"I don't know, but obviously that portal is a time machine." Lethero turned back to the door to examine it and saw that it was gone. "I can say one thing: we're not leaving."
"How're you liking the future," came a voice behind the team. They all flipped around and came face to face with an old man wearing unadorned, blood red robes. "I'm actually surprised APOSF tracked me so fast."
"Sir," Nicarga called out, her voice shaking. "That's the guy from my vision."
Lethero pulled his gun out and pointed it at the old man.
"Oh, put those toys away," the man said. He waved his hand and the entire teams weapons flew out of there hands and landed several yards away.
Lethero yanked out his knife, went to plunge the blade into the man's chest and missed. Lethero looked up and saw that the man had moved several yards back.
"Who are you?" Lethero growled.
"A few years ago, I was referred by many names. Some called me the devil, others called me the anti-Christ, but I guess you could call me Chernobog (Dark God)."
"You're the one who caused this?"
"Yes" Chernobog said calmly. "It's quiet amazing isn't it?" He looked around and said, "It's amazing that when you release a horde of hungry demons on the world, not a single person is left alive."
Suddenly, it felt as a great weight was forced on everyone's shoulders. Lethero looked around to see Quinn standing behind him, her eyes glowing deep red. "You killed my brother," she said. "You will die!"
Quinn launched an kinetic blast so strong that it distorted the space around it, giving it shape, at Chernobog. The evil summonerer only gave a twitch of his finger sending it flying into the side of the building.
"Well, I grow weary from out chat," Chernobog said. "I think it's time to send you back to where you came from." He clapped his hands and everything went dark.

Nicarga opened her eyes, expecting to still be back in the city, but was surprised to be in APOSF HQ in Washington. She looked at her watch and it read October 12, 2010. The day before they left for their mission in New Mexico. She looked around at everyone to see the same surprised looks on their faces.
"What the hell just happened?"
