The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (33 page)

Light asked, "So, who won the game?" "I did. I am the best player in the world. In your face, Tom", answered Will. "Well, the winner will get a prize of a royal dinner at a place of his choice", said Light.

After the game was finished, the trio of fugitives arrived into an orb that looks like the Milky Way Galaxy. "Does this mean that we're heading to Earth?" asked Tom. Light answered, "If you look down into space, you will be able to see Earth and the other planets."

"What other planets are there besides Earth?" asked Will. "Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto", answered Light. "You are very brilliant. It is impressive how you can name so many planets. You must be some sort of a brilliant savant", said Tom.

"Thank you", replied Light. "No problem", said Tom. Will commented, "Say, Tom is right. You must be quite brilliant to understand so much.”

"Well, that's what happens when you're a shapeshifter with a knowledgeable computer built inside of you", replied Light. Since, the trio of fugitives shifted past the twenty four hour time zone orb, they have now entered the present day and time as on Earth. Right now, they are on their way to their home planet. Tom, Light, and Will flew down to planet Earth after five minutes. As they are approaching Earth, meteors started to fly toward them. Tom asked, "Are you meteor proof?" Light answered, "Yes, I am. However, I can't survive an asteroid." Will is silently sleeping. Bam! An meteoroid hit Light. A loud thud was just heard. Tom is impressed that Light has the capacity to survive such a harsh object. "It is amazing how you're able to survive such an immense and gargantuan object. You are a marvel", said Tom. "Maybe you humans think that I am impressive. However, the aliens in Starmos City just see me as mundane shapeshifting vehicle", replied Light. "Well, all the Earthlings including myself see you as unique", said Tom. "Thank You", replied Light.

The three fugitives are becoming closer to planet Earth. After passing the Exosphere and the Thermosphere, they are entering the mesosphere. Over one hundred million meteors and meteoroids are in the Mesosphere. "You are entering an odd area. What area is this?"

asked Will. "The Mesosphere", answered Light. Another thud has been heard from the window of Light. "Do you have any actual lasers?" asked Tom. "No", Light answered. He then asked, "Why are you asking me if I have any real lasers?" "I want to clear a path for us", answered Tom. "Yes, I do have lasers", replied Light. "So, why did you lie to me?" asked Tom. "I shouldn't have to explain to you why I answered a particular question in a certain way. I am pretty sure that I am explicit and I make myself clear when I say things to you", answered Light. "Will you give me the power to control the laser?"

asked Tom. "Yes, you may", answered Light angrily.

"Thank you", replied Tom. "No problem", said Light sarcastically. Tom fired ten shots over the course of fifty seconds to clear a path for Light. He (Tom) then asked, "Are you happy?" "Oh, I am so happy", answered Light sarcastically. "Thank You", replied Tom. About fifteen meters from the Stratosphere, an alarm, that sounded like a repetitious chime, was heard. Will asked, "What's going on?" "An asteroid is coming at us", answered Tom. "Well, I will increase my speed to avoid this absurd situation", replied Light. "I am afraid not", said Tom. "Never say never", replied Light. He increased his speed which brought them closer to Earth. Finally, they entered the Stratosphere. "How many feet are we above ground?" asked Tom.

"We are about fifty kilometers from the Troposphere", answered Light. "Okay, how many feet are we from the ground?"

asked Tom. "Seventy five kilometers", answered Light. They entered the top of the Stratosphere. There is still a dark color in the Stratosphere. However, driving through the darkness at mach one hundred speed lasted a short amount of time. Eventually, Light started to reduce his speed to mach fifty m.p.h. After three minutes of driving through the Stratosphere, the trio entered the Troposphere. Now, they are able to see the World with a clear view. They eventually reached the Atlantic Coast and, they entered California County, New York. It's noon time in California County, and they are driving down the main road in the small town. From there, they kept traveling through the suburban area of town. Life seemed to be very normal for everyone.

However, it is not really normal. Every human being who Light drove past started to stare and look at him in a perplexed manner, as though he was driving in an extraterrestrial, unidentified vehicle that was in plain sight. He eventually drove past the suburban part of town and drove into the business area in town. Since, it's a typical Sunday, every person in town is walking his or her dog. When they witnessed the LSC pass by, it was a jaw dropping moment. Every person who noticed the unidentified vehicle opened their eyes widely and covered their mouth. Meanwhile, the fugitive trio traveled to where the governmental offices are located and, they arrived at town hall. Light asked, "Who wants to come in?" "I will", answered Tom.

Will remained inside of the LSC. The Town Hall had two roman pillars that were eight inches in diameter. Each pillar had the same designs.

There is a stone rooftop that is all flat and, it's made entirely of marble. To get into Town Hall, one would have to climb up fifteen stairs that were steep, with each stair being six to eight inches tall.

The stairs are also made of marble. Tom swiftly climbed up the stairs.

Within forty five seconds, he arrived at the heavy, solid golden doors.

He walked into the Town Hall lobby, which looks afar from a mundane place. The lobby has gold countertops and, a floor that is made of granite. There's an extravagant fountain made of gold in the center of the lobby. The fountain is a five-tier fountain that has six hundred shining emeralds and rubies. The receptionist desk looked unique too. The receptionist desk is wooden with a fish tank on the bottom. This fish tank is not your ordinary one either. The fish tank has baby black and white tip sharks inside as well as many plant like sea creatures. Rose, is the receptionist's name. She is a young woman with blonde hair and aquamarine colored eyes that are as crystal clear as the ocean.

She's wearing a green dress. However, she didn't wear any lipstick. She has a nice voice of a young woman. She is on the busy phone trying to make appointments for people to meet the mayor of California County, New York. Tom walked up to the desk and, she looked up. She put the phone on hold and, asked Tom for his name.

From there, he presented her with his full name. He then asked her the same question and, she then presented him with her full name.

"What brings you here today?" asked Rose. "I have to present him with an alert regarding a situation about some potential foreign invaders from another planet", answered Tom. "You're crazy for doing this", replied the receptionist. "You're absurd for thinking that I am crazy. But, that's beside the point. Is the mayor available right now?

asked Tom. The receptionist answered, "Yes." "How long will he come out?" asked Tom. "About two minutes", answered the receptionist. "Okay", replied Tom.

"Do you want to listen to some music?" asked the receptionist.

"Yeah", answered Tom. Classical stereotypical music was playing inside of the reception hall. The song that started playing in the hall was the
Marriage of Figaro
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "Is that Mozart?" asked Tom. "I don't know", answered the receptionist. After listening to the song for one minute and thirty-seconds, the mayor started to walk into the room. He is a heavyset, potbellied man. He stands at five feet two inches tall, and is wearing a tuxedo with a tie and six inch tall and five inch wide hat. He had a typical male voice.

However, he would always sound excited with that voice. He asked Tom for his name. He (Tom) introduced himself. From there, the mayor said, "My name is Bill Stone." "Well, anyway, it is an honor to meet you Mr. mayor", replied Tom. "Don't call me Mr. mayor, just call me Bill", replied Mayor Stone. "Thank you", said Tom. "Now, what brings you over to my office today?" asked Mayor Stone.

"I am here to let you know that evil aliens are potentially going to invade planet Earth", answered Tom. "Now, that sounds crazy. You must be out of your mind to think of thoughts like that and, nevertheless, come to my office to share those thoughts with such a busy man like myself", replied the mayor. He then said, "I have to go to lunch right now." "No, this is important to me. I need to tell you why they are coming here, and what they are conniving", replied Tom.

"Come with me to the pizzeria down the block because that's where I'm going", said the mayor. "I have to talk to somebody regarding this.

But, I will meet you down there in about five minutes", replied Tom.

The mayor walked down to Tony's Pizzeria down the block from Town Hall. Meanwhile, Tom walked up to Light.

"Shapeshift into a robot", said Tom. "Okay, but, I have to send Will out of here", replied Light. He lifted up the hood which serves as a door and Will climbed out of the vehicle. Light shape shifted into a robot. The trio of fugitives walked down the block to the Tony's Pizzeria Restaurant. People started looking at the motley crew. The citizens of California County started to show skeptical looks at the trio. They are all shocked about the trio's appearances. Random people started to whisper their thoughts to each other about this motley trio. "Why is everyone telling secrets to each other?" asked Will. "Because, some people are new to this world like you guys for instance. Once they get to know you and Light, they will be very amicable to you." They arrived at the Pizza Restaurant in town. The pizza restaurant has fifteen tables. There aren't any booths in the restaurant. However, every single chair has two cushions. And, the legs and the back rest of the chairs are ornate. The restaurant is adorned with pictures of the Venetian Canals. And, the walls are adorned with bricks that are made of fiberglass. The other walls have yellow stucco paint. However, one wall has a mural that portrayed a day at Piazza San Marco Square in Venice, Italy. The trio of fugitives walked into the restaurant and met the matridee at his wooden podium. He glanced at the trio of fugitives. He then looked down and asked, "How many?" Will answered, "Four. We're planning to sit with the mayor." "Okay", replied the matridee.

He escorted them to the circular table where the mayor was sitting at. Tom sat down first, adjacent to the mayor. Then, Will, and Light. "Who are these two?" asked the mayor. "These two are Light and Will. Light is a shapeshifting robot. And, Will is an alien", answered Tom. "Is that the alien friend a dangerous one?" asked the mayor. "No, he's very gentle and kind hearted. He is an ally of humanity and man kind", answered Tom. "How about we order first and then, we have the meeting", replied that mayor. The waitress approached the table, and asked, "Are you three ready for me to take your order?" "No", answered Tom. "Anybody else ready to order?"

asked the waitress. "Please give us a little time. We just got here", answered the mayor. "I will be back in a couple of minutes", replied the waitress. She left the table and, the trio of fugitives as well as the mayor took glances at the menu and decided what their orders shall be. The waitress returned back to the table and, asked "Are you three ready to order?”

"Yes", answered the mayor. "What do you request to have?"

asked the waitress. "Garden Salad with Vinegar and a pepperoni and Garbage Style Pizza to split for the whole table", answered the mayor.

The waitress then asked the Tom, Will, and Light what their lunch request shall be. The three of them wanted their own individual Garden Salads. The waiter thanked the three of them for ordering their food and, she walked to the kitchen. "Mayor Stone, how many years have you been the mayor?" asked Tom. "About thirteen years", answered the mayor. "What did you do while in office?" asked Tom.

"I cracked my knuckles, dressed up as a clown, and played gold constantly. Life as a mayor of a small town is quite funny", answered the mayor. "Are you kidding me?" asked Will.

"Of course I am kidding. I hope you don't think I do these things whilst in office", answered the mayor. "I assumed that what you said was a joke", replied Will. "So, what do you do or have done while being in office?" asked Light. "If you notice all of the trees on the streets that you have driven on, that's 'cause of me. There was never a single tree in town until I became mayor thirteen years ago. It was all nothing but plain, gray colored sidewalks. Another, action that I took while in office was the conversion from coal electricity to solar and hydro energy. Now, the electricity is longer lasting because on every rooftop, there are solar panels and, the river adjacent to town is also our energy source. The third thing that I did was to expand the residential district. I added more houses that were predominantly Victorian style, Dutch Colonial style, and Side Hall Dutch Colonial style. Now, more than three thousand people live in this small town.

My future plan is to directly connect this small town to the rest of the world. I am planning on adding a transportation hub that connects to a small highway which connects to the interstate. However, it'll take me a while to get this plan approved because this proposed idea will have to go before multiple boards and receive approbation by every citizen in town", answered the mayor.

"I would like to live in this town. You turned this place into a utopia", replied Will. "Oh, I just started on my work. I still have four more terms to go", said the mayor. "So, you'll get a lot done around here", replied Light. "Of course, I have many future plans for this place." The waitress returned to the table with the food. There are four garden salads, and one garbage style pizza. This pizza has a large quantity of toppings. Among these toppings, are the common toppings such as pepperoni, tomato sauce, and cheese. However, there are some unique toppings like Broccoli, Chicken, Mushroom, and Basil.

They started to eat the pizza. Tom placed his pizza in the dish.

However, he then waved his hand over to the waitress. He asked her, "May I have a drink of soda?"
