No one's POV

Currently, back at Chorus, upon his return, a broken Zero was walking the streets of Chorus alone, thinking about everything that happened.

Zero: ...

Elsewhere, currently back at the waiting area, Carolina was sitting down, holding Zero's helmet and just sighed.

Carolina: ...

One: Are you okay?

Carolina looked up and saw One and Wash.

Washington: I know he lashed out on everyone, but you took the brunt of it.

Carolina: I'm fine... Just thinking...

Maverick: We told you this would happen.

The three of them looked up at Maverick and Scarlet.

One: ...-_-... Jason...

Scarlet: It's not like you didn't see this coming. The longer you kept it from him, the more damage it would have done in the long run. He may have been broken at the start, but he would still want your support. Now he wants nothing to do with you.

Washington: You know, you two aren't that great at comforting people...

Maverick: Oh, we can when we want to be, but being blunt helps get the point across faster.

Suddenly, everyone saw Tucker walk out with Sister.

Tucker: We need to go back and save Zero.

Sister: Is brain damage contagious?

Tucker: Donut has the Hammer! It's out of the game.

Caboose: I miss you, Ms. Whack-Man.

Tucker: We have Chrovos's time guns. And that's something.

Grif: [Sarcastically.] I feel like... we already had this conversation.

Tucker: Guys—

Grif: [Sarcastic gasp.] Is that the time travel? Deja-vu?

Tucker: Guys, listen. We don't have to change much. Just a few details.

Sister: So we ignore the Gods.

Tucker: They're not gods! Just A.I.

Simmons: All time travel's bad to them. They're programmed against it.

Tucker: They said that time travel is Jenga. And I'm talking about swapping out one more piece. The most important piece. Delicately.

Sarge: Time travel isn't Jenga! More like... Operation. With a side of Yahtzee. Bingo!

Tucker: The alternative is to do nothing.

Sister: That's my line.

Tucker: And we're better than that.

Carolina: We'll do it. [Walks up to the group.] If we need justification, we have plenty. Let's start with the past. Your misadventures in history have echoed through the ages. You've caused wars, disasters, abducted historical figures. Compared to all that, what's rescuing one man from one bullet? Let's also think about what Jax said. He used the time machine for months without issues. But let's not stop there! Let's think about the future. If Loco can invent a time machine, then someone else will come along and do the same thing. Retreating from this battle is not a victory. All of these reasons have been running through my head on a loop. But you know what? They're meaningless. Adrain is hurt. We have to go.

Washington: I agree. Zero's my best friend. We can't leave him in this state. One more go around shouldn't hurt anything.

One: I'm all for it. I'm not going to sit back and watch my brother suffer like this.
