The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (49 page)

"What's wrong?" asked the gentle giant insect. "Oh, nothing", answered Will. "No, I can tell that you're scared. Now, please tell me what's wrong", said the grasshopper. "Okay, he's scared of you because you are this giant, intimidating looking insect", replied Light.

"I am sorry for that. Can I offer you guys a ride to the Emperor?"

asked the grasshopper. "Sure", answered Will nervously. "Are you still afraid of me?" asked the giant insect. "Yes", answered Will.

"Well, don't be. Hop on board and I will give you a ride to Emperor Gairdon", said the grasshopper.

"Okay", replied Will. "Are you still nervous asked the grasshopper. "No", answered Will. "Well, that's what I want to hear", replied the gentle, giant insect. He transported Will and Light to the Royal Palace. And, he dropped them off at the gigantic, heavy copper door. This copper door stands at seventy feet tall and weighs one hundred pounds. Will used a stainless steel Lion Door Knocker to get attention. The door knocker's eyes turned red. These eyes directly stared into the benevolent alien's eyes and, they almost blinded him.

"Who enters the doors of Gairdon?" the door knocker asked. "Will Von Alien and Light S. Cycle. We are here to see Emperor Gairdon", answered Will. "Well, did you get past the gigantic statues?" asked the knocker. "Yes, answered Will.

"Okay, I will let you in", replied the knocker. The tall doors opened. Brightness started to shine through. Will and Light entered the Palace. They entered a huge hall. This hall features White wallpaper, gold candle holders, and golden vectors. These halls were the most hallowed places in Garden City. The reason why is because the founder Gairdon the Great wanted and envisioned peace. His body is preserved in a coffin in these floors. Featured in the ceiling are moldings of the Emperor's face. On the marble and granite floor are ornate patterns. Five men walked through the hallway. These men are dressed up as squire members for Emperor Gairdon. They sounded the five foot long, golden trumpets. These trumpets feature the honorable coat of arms draped all over the palace. When the squire finished sounding the trumpets, the emperor emerged. Everyone bowed down including Will and Light.

This emperor stands at eight feet nine inches tall. He is a human who ruled the insect dimension. He looks to be very thin. He is wearing a cape that shows his royalty. His white, wavy hair shines in the brightness. His shoes are as pointy as jester shoes. The royal shoes that he's wearing are rhinestone studded, platform shoes as though his appearance looks of being raised in the nineteen seventies. He has a stentorian voice that carries throughout the kingdom. But, today his voice was soft spoken. "What is your name?" he asked. "I am Will and this is Light", the benevolent alien answered. "Interesting names", replied Gairdon. "And, how should I address you?" asked Will. "You are to address me by your royal highness", answered the Emperor.

"Thank you for inviting us to your palace", replied Light. "No problem. Besides, it is my honor and privilege. And, it is also my job to invite guests", said the respectable emperor. "No, it is totally not your job. It is your good choice. You are an honorable gentleman. You are like a god to this place", replied Will. "Excuse me, don't say such a thing about me because God is God and, God is up in heaven with Jesus. So, don't say that I am a God because that's plain idolitary. But, that's besides my point. Now, I want to know why you came here", said Gairdon. "You know what, I will tell you the reason later", replied Will. "No, I want you to tell me now or I will exile you from this kingdom and, return you back to Earth", said the emperor. "Now, my friend Tom is in trouble. Some evil sewer monster named Monstre took my friend, who is probably in his lair", replied Will. "Yeah, I've heard of this guy. He likes to take humans and eat them. He particularly likes to eat chocolates and vanilla candy", said Gairdon.

"Thank you", replied Will. "Silly, who would not agree that this man eater is a crazy nut job?" asked the emperor. "I don't think anybody with a mind of sanity would disagree with me", answered Will. "Now, I am going to take you into the dining hall because you are royalty. Besides, I would like to help you rescue your friend", replied Gairdon. "Thank you", said Light. "Oh, you finally broke your silence", replied the emperor contently. "Yes, I am often silent in front of anybody particularly high political leaders", said Light. "And, why are you silent in front of leaders?" asked Gairdon. "Because, I don't like talking to royalty because it is extremely overwhelming to talk to a royal leader", answered Light.

"Well, you can feel comfortable and not overwhelmed when you're with me", replied the emperor. "Well, that's very nice of you", said Light. "Now, we're going to head into the dining hall. The squire is lined up in two single file lines. Three squire members are featured on one side of the emperor and three other squire members are featured on the other side of the emperor. The trumpets sounded. The squire moved themselves into the dining hall first. Emperor Gairdon followed. Behind the emperor are the two visitors. Finally, every soul arrived in the dining room. The doors closed to the dining hall. The hallowed hall is now officially empty.

It is now six in the evening, and everyone departed from the hallowed hall and, they entered the Glamour Dining Hall. The dining hall featured a huge buffet. This buffet featured many delicious delicacies such as shrimp cocktail, Pork Roast, Steaks, and Various Salads. There were five tier fountains of drinks like punch, soda, seltzer. But, of course the most favorable drink of them all was Charlamagne's Champagne Product. This is the product only used by Royalty and this product existed for over ten centuries. This is the oldest alcoholic product of all time. A tall pyramid of champagne glasses were adjacent to the five tier drink fountains.

Every delicacy was featured on a table that had a golden table color. This table color is made of fool's gold. The marble floors in the dining room were spotless, shiny, and well kept. There were arched windows that had seventy foot tall curtains. In the rear of the dining room was a twenty foot long Grand Symphony. A Grand Symphony is a machine that people would be able to use instruments and, when all instruments were played, it sounded like a fantastic philharmonic. The ultimate feature in the dining room is the massive dining table which was made of burly wood. Engraved in the burly wood were golden vector patterns. The table sets on the dining table were also very unique. There were two napkins per chair. The left napkin featured the knife and, the right napkin featured the fork and spoon. Between these napkins were three glasses. The tallest glass featured the water. The medium glass was used for the sodas and, the smallest glass was used as a spare glass. There were three dishes and two bowls.

Featured on the top is the smallest bowl, which is used for holding salads. Then the large bowl is used for holding gourmet soups. Followed by that the smallest dish was used for Freshly Baked Bread. Then, the medium dish was used for fish. Lastly, the largest dish was used for the buffet. The legs on the table are also quite interesting. Six, solid, silver streaks showed strength symbols. In the center of the dining table was the royal face of Gairdon. Now, everyone arrived at the table. Every soul in the room folded their hands in respect for the great, chiefly emperor.

The emperor arrived at his regal chair. His chair was made of wood. This chair stood at a staggering ten feet. The top of the chair was lined with rubies and emeralds. The arms of the chair were adorned with diamonds and gold. The emperor sat in his royal chair.

When the king sat down, the room was silent. Not a single sound or noise was made by a single soul. The silence was broken exactly one minute after the royal leader sat down on his comfortable chair. "All hail our Great and Royal leader Gairdon", said everyone. "Thank you, thank you very much, gentlefolk. Now, before I get into anything with anyone, I want everyone to get their bottom dish and, start heading over to the buffet immediately. From there, everyone will eat their first course and, then we will get to the first topic of this important meeting", replied the great emperor.

Every person at the meeting obeyed the Great Gairdon's order.

From there, everybody returned to the table with their buffet dishes filled as well as their drinking glasses. Conversations were taking place amongst the people and creatures present at the table. One of the members of squire sat adjacent to Light. He wore a blue beret which symbolized that he came from the ocean part of town. His gray kilt shined in the brightness and he wore a checkerboard sweater above that kilt. He looked at Light. "What is your name?" he asked. Light gave the squire member his name. "And, what is your name?" asked Light. "Squint", answered the squire member.

"That's your actual name?" asked Light. "Yes", answered

Squint. "That's quite a funny name", replied Light. "Hey, don't say anything offensive about my name because I can say some offensive things about yours", said the squire member. "There's no need to fight over this", replied Light. "Yes, there is", said Squint. "Enough is enough. Squire, you better cut it out before I deport you from this town", replied the emperor. Everyone finished the first course of their meal. The waiters removed the dinner from the table. The Emperor's trusted advisor jumped up from the table. "Here Ye. Here ye. A royal proclamation will be declared from our great Emperor Gairdon",he said.

"Thank you, buddy. Now, comrades and gentle folk, as you may know, we are going to be on the hunt for justice. Now, I will lead the mission. However, it is up to Will Von Alien to stand up and describe the mission. Come up Will", said Gairdon. The benevolent and amicable alien stood up from his seat. The great emperor gave up his seat to Will. The benevolent alien giggled. "Thank you your royal highness. Now, ladies and gentlemen, aliens and alienesses, and insects and animals, I am sure you're wondering why we are eating in such a large banquet hall. Well, the clear answer is that the brute Cornelius Von Alien, the abominated leader of Starmos City imprisoned my friends Light and Tom. I fortunately managed to escape to a hotel. However, they were unfortunately imprisoned in the hole. I was worried about myself more than anybody else. So, I decided to escape to the Star Hotel, a government owned luxurious hotel in Starmos City. From there, I thought to myself that my fellow friends must be rescued from that beastly, cruel, cold-hearted brute. I rescued them. Then, the ordeal became worse. Now, an alien prosecutor found about the escape and she found out that we were heading over to California County, New York. This is the county of Tom's origin. Now, I'll tell you about Tom a little later. So more importantly, now the aliens are planning to commit a heinous and wicked raid upon Earth. This raid is probably taking place right now as I speak. Now, because the raid to find us was taking place, we fugitives had to escape the planet. From there, a nice fox told us about this wondrous dimension. This dimension is an ally of the Earthlings according to hearsay. But, some citizens over here are not in alliance with us. Now, I will mention all of the bad folks who we must go after, put on trial, and bring to justice. But, before I mention anything, I am wondering if anybody has any questions to ask me. If so, I'd appreciate it if you ask now", said Will. "Yes, I am quite confused with what you just said. Can you repeat everything back to me?"

asked one of the Royal Guards.

"I am not going to repeat my whole sermon. But, I will say this though to simplify everything that I just said. Basically, we have to go after a bunch of malevolent and vicious souls who did a lot of harm to us, the gentle Earthlings, and they will eventually do harm to all of you", answered Will. He then asked, "Does anybody have any other questions to ask me that are not trivial?" Another hand has been raised by the emperor's advisor. "Now, can you tell me the people who we have to hunt down?" he asked.

"Thank you. This is now the next thing that I am going to get to. Now, here are the following ones that you have to hunt down. I will describe each one of them to you. The first one is Cornelius Von Alien. He is the ringleader and the troublemaker behind this whole thing. This alien is so cold-hearted that he imprisoned his own wife over in the city because he didn't like her. He is the one carrying out the raid on Earth and, he attempted to poison us fugitives. Now, his accomplice is a prosecutor with malice. She received permission from the Royal Brute Ruler Cornelius to carry out plan to invade Earth.

Now, the next one who is guilty is Mrs. Woodston. She is a fox from Planet Earth, who is the one that transmitted information to the evil Starmos creatures. She looks like such a sweet lady. But, she has an evil side to her which emerged in the fight between her and her good husband Jack. Fortunately, she was trapped in a barrel. But, she probably managed to escape. Now, the next one who we have to hunt down is Spazerstock who is a traitor to this town. He is taking sides with those alien monsters and, he hired a sewer creature to take Tom.

Now, the next one who is on our wanted list is Brutis. This alien is a gargantuan officer who tried to get me and, extradite me back to Starmos City. Fortunately, I managed to escape. Now, the last one who is the most wanted criminal that we must catch is Monstre. He was paid by Spazerstock to detain Tom unlawfully. But, now that I described our wanted criminals to all of you, Emperor Gairdon will now tell you what you all will have to do. Gairdon, you will be allowed to come back into your chair", said Will boldly.

Gairdon returned to his seat. "Thank you, Will. Now, this guy gave you a basic summary as to why he is here. Now, I will tell you all what to do. I will assign everyone to a group. And, I will divide the fellow men and women at this table into four groups. Now, I'll assign different roles to different groups. So, all of you better listen. Group One's Job is to enter Planet Earth. And, group two will come as a spare for you guys. Now, this is the most important job of all jobs. It is your job that determines the fate of the Earthlings. Now, Group three will be dealing with finding Spazerstock. From there, Group Four will find Tom and fight for the justice and his freedom. Now, if this is not agreeable with anybody, we'll take care of your opinion later. I usually count your opinions towards certain things. However, in this case or case(s), your opinions don't count and, if you have any opinions to say, then it's your problem. At the same time, it is your right to say whatever you want to say. Now, I am sure you're very upset that I am not following my unusually stringent. But, because we have a brute and his disgusting army to to take down, I have an extremely strong opinion on people or sour citizens that open their mouths during a time of crisis and, I believe that this is a time of crisis. Now, because I am done with giving this speech, you all can go back to your mixing and mingling. You can eat, talk, mix and, mingle.
