[ WP ] You 're the time traveler who killed Hitler . As punishment for damaging the timeline , you 're sentenced to REPLACE Hitler .

In the year 3089, killing Hitler had been a sport. Points were scored for creativity and difficulty. For the rich, it was a fun way to pass time – we had the necessary machines and resources at our disposal. As a scientist, it was easy for me. Simultaneously, however, it was a way to prove myself. 
 
 You see, I was at the brunt of society's cruel joke. I was mocked openly, and hateful rumors spawned across the internet. My reputation was tarnished, and I slowly became a recluse. But my naive self thought the competition would give me the fame and respect I desired. 
 
 I entered myself into the competition, read all the regulations, and was ready to begin. 
 
 A week later, I got an email from the competition officials notifying all competitors that we had 2 short months. For me, it was n't close to being enough time. 
 
 There was one law to time travelling: on any circumstances, **do not** remove anyone from the past or future. Scientists warned that it may result in the fall of modern society as we know it, and may possibly annihilate humankind. 
 
 Naturally, my brilliant idea of giving myself an upper hand was to bring my past selves to help me. 
 
 Of course, I had some explaining to do and had to sooth any fears my past selves had, but that was simply a minor bump. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts to keep them hidden, my doppelgängers were seen by my competitors and the competition officials. I was disqualified from the competition and given a date to go on trial. 
 
 After weeks of hard work and sleepless nights, I was n't going to be eliminated without a fight. In an act of defiance, I took myself and all my past selves back to Hitler's time to carry out my assassination. 
 
 During my stay, I changed my name, my history and the appearance of all my clones. Time passed quickly, and the night before the competition soon arrived. As an avid follower of the Hitler Games since it began, I expected the officials to arrive sometime around 5am to discreetly blend in. 
 
 Unbeknown to me, somehow the cops from my time were alerted of my crime, and my cover was blown. On the day of my scheduled attack, my clones and I were ambushed by a group of time travelling cops. As might be expected, I was outnumbered and quickly overpowered due to my lack of combat experience. 
 
 I was taken back to my time and put into a cell. My trial was to be within two weeks. 
 
 I had a target on my back the moment I stepped into jail. I was mocked and beaten up within the first hour. How could I be so cruel? How could I be so willing to sacrifice mankind for the sake of a mere competition? How could I spend billions of dollars on time machine use when there were trillions starving and malnourished? 
 
 I believed these to be excuses – the inmates simply wanted easy entertainment and a punching bag to take out their frustration. Being lanky did n't help much either. The guards did nothing to help – they either turned a blind eye or grinned maliciously at my demise. 
 
 The two weeks I was there toughened me up faster than I ever have. I learned to fight dirty by clawing my attackers' eyes and nose, or kneeing them in the groin. Yet despite this, I still received daily abuse from the inmates, to the point where I could n't fall asleep at night from the pain. 
 
 One fateful night, a guard was careless and fell asleep near the bars of my cell. I managed to unclip his keys from his belt and let myself out. I limped home and took a shower, put on a clean change of clothes and activated my time machine. I travelled back a few years before Hitler's rise to power. It might seem stupid at first ( after all, it was very close to the year of the competitions ) but I figured they would've never thought to look for a fugitive hiding in plain sight. 
 
 I was right. I was never found out and over the course of years, the pain from being mocked and the brunt of every cruel joke festered within me. I decided I wanted revenge. I soon grew to be one of Hitler's closest friends, and his ideologies influenced my thinking. It was at a point where he was n't infamous, yet his name was somewhat well known. 
 
 I killed him at the ripe age of 40. 
 
 I took on his identity, and continued his legacy. As I was well aware of the Hitler Games, I was able to fend off each and every attack, while simultaneously gathering support. Instead of targeting the Jewish, I targeted the people of the future. I made up horrific stories of their deeds, and fabricated perpetrators to be burnt at the stake as punishment. 
 
 For justice, I claimed. For the safety of our future generations. 
 
 Due to my knowledge in time machines, I was able to build a variation of it within 10 years. It was modified to allow my entire army to travel forward in time. 
 
 I plan to return to the year 3089 – the year I tried desperately to gain the respect of my fellow peers. It will be bloody and merciless. No one will escape the extent of my wrath. 
 
 Let the slaughter begin.
