The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (46 page)

He drove all the way to the center of Town to the municipal street. He placed himself in the launch position.

A female voice said, "Initiating turbo sequence in T-5, T-4, T-3, T-2, T-1. Launch!" He launched at mach one hundred speed. He made it to the altitude of two miles in three milliseconds. Within two minutes, he made it past the Stratosphere, eventually making it past the Mesosphere, and then off into Space. "It is amazing how we can head over to Planet Earth and back up to Space in less than twenty four hours", said Will. "Well, that's what happens when you live in the year of twenty forty seven", replied Light. "All of the houses in the county look the same as they did in the year two thousand. So, I haven't really seen much change", said Tom. "Well, I have a couple of questions for you", replied Light.

"Yes", said Tom. "Were you alive in the year two thousand?"

asked Light. "No", answered Tom. "Well, what year were you born?"

asked Light. "Twenty twenty nine", answered Tom. "Now, what planet were you born on?" asked Light. "Earth, as I recall", answered Tom.

"Well, you Earthlings don't have the technology that we have", answered Light. "We do have the best school system in the whole entire universe", replied Tom. "Yeah, what does that have to do with this conversation?" asked Light. "Nothing", answered Tom. "Okay", replied Light. "When are we going to be heading over to the Garden City?" asked Will. "Pretty soon", answered Light. "Yeah, can you give me a specific E.T.A?" asked Will.

"About ten minutes", answered Light. They continued traveling through space eventually. Suddenly, a small portal can be seen in the distance. Light increased his speed from mach one hundred mph. to mach one thousand mph. Finally, the trio of fugitives arrived near the portal. "We're here", said Light. "Thank God", replied Tom. "Now, guys, it'll be hard to find the Garden City exit. So, when we get onto Highway D, you better be very vigilant of the exit. They are traveling closer and closer to the portal. Finally, they're right in front of the gigantic, three hundred feet diameter portal. Three feet away, the excitement increased. Tom became so excited that he bounced off the walls of Light. "Cut it out", yelled Light. "I'm sorry.

But, I have no self-control", replied Tom. "Well, when you're with me, you better have some self-control", said Light.

"Okay, I apologize", replied Tom. "Well, you're forgiven", said Light. The trio of fugitives are now on the Highway D. "Let's see what's going on in Starmos City", said Tom. "Do you wanna' go there?" asked Will. "Yeah, sure", answered Tom. "Are you stupid?"

asked Light angrily. "No", answered Tom. "Well, you seem quite stupid because you want to go to a place that has it in for us. You want to go to a place where the government abominates us tremendously. A place where we're wanted, is that where you wanna' go to?" asked Light angrily. "No, I guess not", answered Tom. "But, can we still see what's going on over there?" he asked.

"No, but we can hear what's going on because we can listen to the radio. I need to travel a couple hundred more miles before we can hear the Starmos Radio clearly", answered Light. "Well, when will we be able to hear the radio of that city?" asked Will. "In a couple of hundred miles", answered Light. "What do you mean a couple of hundred miles?" asked Tom. "I mean like three hundred to one thousand miles", answered Light. "So, basically what you're saying is that we will have to wait a couple of hours before we can hear the Starmos Radio?" asked Tom. "Basically, yeah", answered Light.

"What do you mean we'll have to wait a couple of hours?" asked Tom discontentedly. "I mean that I have to drive a couple of hours before we officially hear the radio", answered Light. Tom started to complain and act petulant with Light. He (Light) sighed in exasperation. "If you don't cut the complaining, I am throwing you off", said Light.

"Go right ahead. I bet I can go faster than you", replied Tom.

"No, you can't and, I was just kidding with you when I said that.

Frankly, we will be going by there in less than two minutes. So, you better cool your jets", said Light. "Don't tell me that I have to cool my jets when you have just been yelling at me just now. So, don't be such a hypocrite", replied Tom angrily. "Who do you think you are to call me a hypocrite? I am the one driving and, your mouth should be kept shut", Light argued. "Well, I guess you're right. I shouldn't be talking because I don't want to go back to that beastly alien city", replied Tom. "Excuse me, but, I come from that city. Don't blame the citizens like me. Instead, you ought to go around blaming the sick, twisted, nutty. arbitrary, and unjust government. That is why we're dimension traveling", said Will angrily. "Yeah, you're right", replied Tom sarcastically.

"Shut up, Tom", said Light and Will at the same time. Now, the trio of fugitives were passing the exit for Starmos City. Light turned on the radio and they can hear the prosecutor Jacqueline talking on the radio for a second press conference. "The trio of fugitives, which I am sure you all are very familiar with, fled Planet Earth. Now, we have to go on the hunt for them. Additional charges will be filed against them for fleeing the scene of a crime on three counts, unlawful flight to avoid prosecution on six counts, and assault on twenty five counts. You know we have a fair justice system in Starmos City. So, don't make like these three are so innocent. Because they're not. They are guilty little villains who should be prosecuted", Ms. Langyaw said.

At the press conference on the radio, there are media reporters.

"I disagree with you", shouted one of the media reporters. "And, why do you not agree with me?" asked the tough prosecutor. "Because, I think that you are corrupt and sociopathic like Cornelius Von Alien", answered the media member. "Guards, take this guy away", yelled Jacqueline. The guards walked up to the media member. He was arrested and thrown in the hole. As soon as the press conference finished, Light turned off the radio and continued driving down Highway D. "I think what we just heard sounded disgusting. That witch prosecutor should be ashamed of herself. She often has problems and she has painted thoughts. As long as I am living, that crazy, cruel government is going to go down. I will die for that city and for justice", he said. Light passed Starmos City. "Good thing, there were no highway cops", said Tom. Light continued down the highway. Soon, there was an exit that showed Garden City (Exit Only.) Will immediately alerted Light. And, he made a sharp drop. He did this because the exit to Garden City is the lowest exit on the roadless Highway D.

"Oh my God, what are you doing?" asked Tom. "Going to Garden City", answered Light. "Is this how you're supposed to go?"

he (Tom) asked. "Yes, just hang on", answered Light. Tom and Will held onto the bars for dear life. Eventually, Light reached the portal to the Garden City. This portal looks like a rainbow swirl. Light entered the rainbow orb. Very few outsiders have entered this city. They entered a place that features aquamarine blue skies. The sun is constantly shining. A palace of Gold is seen in the distance. The city is surrounded by a huge rainbow body of water. The city was surrounded by a vast mountain range of greenery. These mountains are covered by grass and, gigantic Oak Trees. These trees are over one thousand feet tall and, each tree features one million branches. Laws are in place to stop deforestation. Within the woodlands were peasant houses, that were made of mushrooms and, at the end of the road is a glittering gold and silver palace. This palace always gleams in the sun. This palace is the main residence of the Great Emperor Gairdon.

This emperor is the fairest, solo ruler of all dimensions. Reaching him is quite easy, and all of the peasants and aristocrats living in the Garden City respected the beloved ruler. The street leading to the palace is lined with bronze.

"What are these gigantic mushrooms?" asked Tom. "They're the dwellings of the citizens in town. In fact, we are visiting one of them", answered Light.

The trio of fugitives continued down the beautiful bronze road. From there, they made a sharp turn into a small, threemushroom village. Each mushroom looks to be the same beije color, and the same height. The only difference is that they are all different widths. Light pulled up to the first one on the right. Tom knocked on the door. A giant, Praying Mantus walked out of the house barking.

Then, a married couple of Walking Stick insects emerged. "Who are you?" asked the male, walking stick. "I am Tom Jackson. My two friends Light and Will are in the car", answered Tom. Will jumped out of the LSC and, Light shapeshifted from a vehicle to a robot. He walked up to the walking stick couple. The male, walking stick worn a silk shirt and blue jeans. The female walking stick is wearing a dress made of leaves. Light and Will introduced themselves to the two walking sticks. From there, they walked into the mushroom house.

This house has a door that is made of oak tree bark.

When they first walked in they entered a living room where there aren't any couches. Instead, there are seats made of compacted leaves. A television is not present in the room. Instead, a bucket of water is present. The bucket of water shows live footage of what is aired on certain channels. Then, there are stairs comprise of one hundred thousand, Medium Oak Tree branches. These stairs lead up to the second level which consists of a kitchen and bedroom. Featured in the kitchen is a large, wood burning stove. The counters are made of fine chopped grass. And, the water gets retrieved from a filtering well.

The table is small and, it features four chairs that are two feet tall. The trio of fugitives and the walking stick couple are located in the living room. "What are your names?" asked Will. "Marianne Spazerstock", answered the female. "Mr. Spazerstock", answered the male. "Now, we just finished quite a long drive from Earth to over here", said Tom.

"And, what do you expect us to do?" asked Marianne. "I would like it if you let us at least stay for dinner", answered Tom. "Well, that'll be hard. But, uh, I guess I can do it", replied Mr. Spazerstock.

While the guests and Marianne conversed in the living room, Mr. Spazerstock walked up to the eight foot tall by five foot wide kitchen window. This window is huge and interesting. It was not just some sort of hole that lets in the light. This window features a miniature farm. Since, Mr. and Mrs. Spazerstock are vegetarians; they grow a vertical farm in their kitchen window. This vertical farm features all fruit and vegetable plants. They grow a large variety of plants from miniature orange shrubs to tomato plants and string bean plants. There are large bins of soil for larger plants and small egg cartons of soil for smaller plants. Small, edible mushroom plants are grown here too. Mr. Spazerstock picked some fruits and vegetables from the plants featured over here.

He made five arugula salads. These salads are comprised of the ingredients of arugula lettuce, edible mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and olives. All of these ingredients are grown in the vertical farm. He whipped up a large salad. "Dinner's ready", he hollered. He served the dinner in a large bowl. Everyone ran to the table in excitement. Tom arrived at the table. He pointed his fork and knife up. He is excited to eat the delectable dish. Everyone else sat at the set table. The dishes at this table are made of Fool's Gold. The table is not filled. "Is that all we're eating?" asked Tom mirthlessly.

"Yes", answered Mr. Spazerstock. "Well, I want some meat and crabs", replied Tom. "Do you mean 'carbs'?" asked the male insect. "Yeah. Carbs, crabs, whatever. They're the same thing", answered Tom. "No, there's a huge difference between crabs and carbs. Carbs are sugars and crabs are crustaceans that are sea creatures. The only similarity is that both are edible", replied Mr.

Spazerstock. "Yeah, whatever", said Tom. "Well, it is really important that you know the differences", replied the Spazerstock. "It is important that you know the differences", said Mr. Spazerstock.

"Yeah, no it's not", replied Tom. Everyone continued to eat the tasty salad. From there, everyone finished the dinner. The walking stick insect couple finished first. And, then the trio of fugitives finished the dinner. From there, Mr. Spazerstock cleaned the table using the washboard from the sink. "So, what do you think of the dinner?" he asked. "It was good", answered Tom. "Same here", said everyone else. "Why do you not eat any meat?" asked the skeptical Tom. "Because we're vegans", answered Spazerstock. "Okay, now please tell me the reason that you came over here", said Marianne.

"Do you want to tell, Tom?" asked Will.

"No", he (Tom) answered. The benevolent alien asked the same question to Light. And, the shapeshifting robot declined to tell.

"Fine then, I'll tell", said Will. "Well, can you tell me the story now?"

asked Marianne. "Sure. Now, the reason why we're coming here is because we all were recommended by a fox to come to this place. A witch told us how to get here. And, now, we're here", answered Will.

"You're missing the point", replied Spazerstock. "What point am I missing?" asked Will.

"You didn't answer my wife's question", he answered. "Okay, before that, we were arrested by a group of aliens in your neighboring dimension Starmos City. These two were arbitrarily sentenced to life in the hole without parole. Fortunately, I managed to escape as I was on my way to the hole. I remained at the government owned hotel and, then I returned back to the estate. From there, I rescued these two and, we returned back to the county. And, you know what basically happened with the foxes. So, now here we are", replied Will. "You have a very interesting story", said Marianne. "Thank you. Do you have any questions?" asked Will. "Yes", answered Mrs. Spazerstock.

"And, what would that be?" asked Will. "I would like to know what charges you three guys were given. I am also wondering why you got sentenced to such a long time in the hole", said Marianne. "We were charged with first degree treason, attempted murder, and unlawful escape", replied Tom.

"Well, that's a fair enough sentence for those three heinous crimes", said Mrs. Spazerstock. "Excuse me. We didn't do anything wrong. It was Cornelius Von Alien, that brutal tyrant, who is right now ruining California County on Planet Earth", argued Will. "And, why do you think that you were charged, apprehended, and sentenced unfairly?" asked Mrs. Spazerstock.
