Chapter 2 - CHAPTER#2: "Invention"

DATE: year 2042

"So it exists, the unstable universe... So by witchmagic it is possible to hold all three of them together..." said a mysterious guy with sleepy eyes and uncombed hair. The type of person you would call a "mad one."

After doing some calculations on his yellowish paper after erasing his old calculations, the paper looked like it had already been rewritten about 10 times or so.

"Kerla..kerla.. where are you??

I found it.. my new invention doesn't depend on him."

"Yes sir.. finally can I get my salary this month?" said Kerla, his maid.

"Kerla... What are you talking about?" he said with an angry tone.

"Sorry sir."

"Why are you apologizing... Your monthly salary will get so high that it will see your father in heaven."

"I am certain that my father will not be in heaven, sir" said Kerla calmly.

"And hereby I announce that I am the greatest hater of him, THE GOD.

Here are results:

From here we can go to unstable universe, then go to the target universe that we bonded in Tristar collide...

Even though my invention resembles his work.There is a drawback..can you guess what that is, Kerla?.."

"No idea, sir."

"Minus 150 syn from your salary."

"With my pleasure, sir."

"Plus 50 syn....ahm...anyway the drawback is.. whoever uses my invention, their appearance will appear as black silhouette, they will not have any color in their appearance... It is called 'supercoolcrossdimensiontravellinginventioninventedbymethehumangod'."

"Very good choice, sir."

"Plus 100 syn.."

DATE: 21st July 2000

TIME: 9:40 pm

Henry rides the bicycle as hard as he can. It is raining heavily.

"They seem to not know about T.H.I.N.G., it is a bomb."

Narrator:

Build of T.H.I.N.G.: It is not just a simple bomb, it has the ability to blast exponentially. First 50% of the process annihilates about 23 to 24% of the target and the remaining does the rest. The last 10 to 8 percent is the most powerful one. It has mainly three elixirs: egaon (to eliminate alien existence), hillion (to eliminate animals), hankeon (to eliminate plants). The inventor and other people involved are still unknown. The catalyst and fuel for this process is unknown.

~at the same time~

A lightning strikes

It was the 3 members from future who came out of the car. (For story purpose let's suppose them as A, B, C)

They said that the T.H.I.N.G. is a bomb. William argued, "Why should I believe?"

"Who are you?" said C.

"Answer me first," William pointed his gun towards them after getting the T.H.I.N.G.

Suddenly his gun disappeared.

"One," said A.

"What?" said William surprisingly.

B said, "First give me that, we will discuss everything la-"

"COWS chargeee!" shouted William calling his assistants.

"Two," said A.

All of William's COWS disappeared.

"What did you guys do?" asked William surprisingly.

"We told you.." said C.

"Shall we come to an agreement?" said B.

"What happened to my men?" asked William.

"Nah..uh first give me the T.H.I.N.G."

After receiving the T.H.I.N.G.,

"It is absorbing some kind of energy from somewhere, I can't teleport it now. First I will teleport you guys," said A.

"Okay fine do that," said B.

"Hey...what happened to my soldiers?" shouted William.

"I just teleported them somewhere near so don't worry. ~throws a ring~ Three," said B.

They all disappeared somewhere except A.

~They all got transported to a plain grassland~

William and his crew got united again.

Jack was still holding dead John and was whining.

Mike noticed Henry was lying down a little far distance.

They rescued him.

While all these are happening...

T.H.I.N.G. started to blast, but it started slowly by releasing the energy it absorbed.

The releasing energy is too dangerous - if it comes in contact with a person, they will die in seconds.

The scene of the thing releasing resembled a giant storm and even the rainwater was flowing in its energy trajectory. Soon it formed a big cloud-like structure at the top sky.

A's body was shattered into pieces after being in contact with energy flow.

AT THE SAME TIME, AND DATE

BUT AT THE HOUSE OF DR. DAN. (IT IS LOCATED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE FALL LOCATION)

"Sir that's surprising, we two have the same type of cat even, their stripes look the same," said Sam.

"Yeah, I am quite shocked too," said Dr. Dan.

The windows were ramping as the storm gets heavier, as Sam took out his camera for live telecast.

"Sir.. can you please close the window and get ready, I am going to start the live telecast," said Sam.

"LIVE telecast?.. I think that won't work today because no communication device is working right now," said Dr. Dan as he closes the window.

"Oh that's news for me, maybe it's because of the storm... I guess I should just record the interview," said Sam.

Sam's work here is to debunk Dr. Dan's anti-aging research. Even he thinks that Dr. Dan is just some attention-seeking fake scientist.

"So, sir how far have you gone in your research?"

"I think I prefer the word invention rather than research, I have not done anything worth saying until now."

"Got it sir. Is there any other invention you have that can prove your status as a scientist?"

"Yes of course I do, the communication jamming tower is one of my INVENTION. Communication media is down throughout the world even though the storm is present just in our place." Sam's eyes widened as Dan continued, "The communication jamming tower, you want to see the demo of it?"

He stood from his seat and went to his desk where there was a small device with multiple levers and many wires connected to his rooftop tower. He pulled down one of the levers.

Suddenly the TV in his room started working. And Sam checked his LIVE telecast device - it was working.

"THIS IS ONE OF MY INVENTION," said Dr. Dan.

Meanwhile, apart from all those who have teleported to the grass field, there was a lean person holding his loose royal soldier pants with his hand, his shirt collar tag was written as JONATHAN. He lied down and was hiding himself in the grass. He was shocked by all these events - teleportation, a bomb, and sudden appearance of people who seemed different.

From far away, the T.H.I.N.G.'s energy flow and rain storm looked like a big mushroom. In that mushroom, there were two shiny sparks moving. It was A moving towards the T.H.I.N.G. while his body was tearing apart by the energy flow. His body restored itself as it was getting ripped apart. He has two shiny rings in his two index fingers. They both reached for the T.H.I.N.G. Due to the flow near the surface of the T.H.I.N.G. being strong, he had difficulty in moving his finger towards its surface. But soon after the struggle, he reached and the second he reached the T.H.I.N.G., it disappeared.

"Four!" shouted A.

In the space, there was an alien, one blue and another green. They were looking like octopus and were traveling in a UFO.

"Darling, we finally got married after all the struggle."

"Yes honey, this is the 1052nd time you are saying this. And didn't expect your father to give us a-"

"I told you right, my father is very generous when it comes to these things, but he will get angry again if we break this-"

And the T.H.I.N.G. got teleported and hit the brand-new-solar-powering-steel-coated-double-battery-levitating-UFO.

"And we will be going, and Pearl Hill is in walkable distance from here. And your name was William right? Anyway no matter what happens never interfere in these kids' lives again regarding this case," said B.

And Mike asked, "I dunno whether I am the only one who noticed or not, but why are all people looking-" continued Mike, "completely black, you guys have no color, even your dress."

"Don't forget that question, and you will get the answer soon," said A.

"We will be leaving." They left in the car they brought.

They all eventually left, and the fall of the T.H.I.N.G. didn't come in any news because of the cut of communication across the globe and the isolation of this area from other world.

In the morning next day, 22nd July 2000

Henry was sleeping in the tent. Surprisingly he had no fever from yesterday's incident.

Pickle was near him, stitching the holes in the tent due to storm.

"It's like I had a very long dream," said Henry.

"Even yesterday was like a dream to everyone," said Pickle.

"I was a hero in that dream, I had a power of making the things I think come tru-

Hey, if I was sleeping here, what did you tell Mother Emma?"

"Yeah they said that, due to arrival of storm in the middle of playing, we got stuck in my house," said Pickle.

"That's a smart move you know, lemme guess it was Mike who came up with this right?"

"Yeah, unfortunately figuring that out will not make you smart," said Pickle.

"Hoho, complementing me first in the morning, that makes me embarrassed you know Henry darling," joked Mike.

"What are you doing here?" asked Pickle.

"Setting up stairs to the tent," he replied.

"I will come and help you," said Pickle.

Henry was rubbing his eyes with his fingers. He suddenly saw the robot doll that was sitting beside him trying to lift its hand. But its hand is connected to the radio and it can't lift its hand fully. It slowly looked at its stuck hand and with its left hand removed the wire. This shocked Henry.

"Ahhhh!" he shouted in a feminine tone.

"Hey I told the word darling as a joke, you shouldn't be shouting like girl now," said Mike.

Pickle went inside the tent while Mike kept all tools beside and rubbed his hand against the cloth to clean all the wood dust.

Pickle got shocked at the scene.

The robot was lifting its right arm pointing towards Henry and its left hand was holding the wire.

Mike saw it too. They all got up and ran outside with shock on their faces. The robot that was supposedly a doll which was only there for charging the radio moved its parts with some intelligence in its actions.

"Things are weird from yesterday," said Mike.

"I have theory here," said Henry as he continued, "It had a uniform of waiter when Kevin took it from the junk area. Maybe it was welcoming robot in some kind of amusement park or carnival or circus or something."

"I dunno about that," replied Mike.

"Where is Kevin and Carlos?" asked Henry.

"They went to the orphanage to explain everything and have not returned still," said Mike.

After a while, they all hesitated and watched each other's faces before going inside the tent.

"Heyy," Carlos called everyone. "Alice has returned, see here!"

They all were surprised by the return of Alice.

They all had seen her after one year or so and all of them were asking how she is and about her days in the school.

"It was very tough when I went there first, but Mike you should have come along, it would have been way easier for you," said Alice.

A sense of tension came in their conversation.

"It doesn't matter anymore anyway," said Mike. And was thinking he really dodged a group of bullets by that reply.

Carlos said, "We built a tent over there, let us go and see that," trying something to change the topic.

Kevin was displeased by that move of Carlos.

Henry made his backbone straight which never paid attention before and had a spark in his eyes which was always sleepy.

Mike noticed all this, seeming to understand what was happening.

When they went near the tent,

They saw the robot standing outside with red eyes and its face turned towards Henry. It lifted its right hand towards him like in the painting of "creation of Adam". As it was pointing, it opened its mouth and said, "I am your invention."

LAST NIGHT 21st July 2000, after every one started towards the village, jonathan slowly woke up and started walking, then he suddenly felt an hand on his shoulder, he slowly turned his head back , there was a hungry tired man who has bandage all over his body wearing blue shirt and black pants asking "do you know where this pearl hill Village is located?".

The scene changed to the duel between Abern and the soldier in Dinospark.

After the three shots of bullet penetrated his body and his body lied down on the ground.

The soldier paid his respect to his dead body. Suddenly Abern's body stood up and said, "Therefore your work here is completed, right?"

Said Abern, a symbol resembling a four-cornered star appeared in his palm.
