Chapter 21

The Energy
Bubble

The time being
had timed its appearance in its room in the tower at the same time
as its powers showed it that the immense GX1 spacecraft was on the
world.

It appeared as an explosion of light
magically hovering in mid-air, and it concluded an experiment and
appeared there fast, using newly acquired powers to make an
undetected entry, in case it had timed it wrongly, and also to have
no entry there noted in time, in case the beings had powers to
detect it.

It made sure that it could swiftly leave at
any time, without it leaving any traces of it having been
there.

It had studied what it was able to detect
there of the visit, and had followed their path through the remains
of the civilization, which it had destroyed with its immense powers
centuries ago, and had gained control of the world, and stopped
them killing it, and it had realized the beings were the same as
beings that had visited its room centuries before (called Professor
Farrell and Sandler), and it had taken their flying device, which
had proven to be useless to escape the world.

It had realized that there were far more
options open to it than it had realized, and though it knew that it
could destroy them there, it could not get aboard and destroy the
rest of the crew, and that it had to use a way to conceal itself to
get aboard undetected, and it chose to reduce its size and disguise
itself as something that the beings ignored, and could not properly
see, and had carried out experiments in reducing its size as far as
it could with the powers available to it, and it was able to reduce
itself and turn itself into a form of insect, which it had seen
that they had not fully noted had been in their vehicles.

It had recalled its ancient race and how
they had advanced science to incredible lengths, and had colonized
an entire galaxy, and their many genetic alterations that had
turned them into a master race, with abilities unheard of, but had
eventually ruined themselves by turning themselves into a more
warlike race, which had eventually killed itself off, which had
been remembered throughout galaxies for thousands of years.

It was condemned to remain on the world, and
had started dreaming of escaping and rebuilding their empire, and
turning its race into a new species, who would be immortal and use
science to reach the ultimate that could ever exist.

Its powers were immense already, and it
began its mission, and altered itself and prepared itself to be
shrank and turned into the insect that it had chosen, which it had
worked on for a great deal of time, disguising any sign of it, and
then it prepared itself to travel forwards in time to a point in
time before their arrival there.

It had created bright flashes of light with
its mind, and watched the room alter, and it watched the room
vibrate around as it exploded with power that shuddered through the
whole tower!

The room had looked a mess, as it had not
visited it in a great deal of time, and it knew it was its last and
only attempt of escaping from the world.

It had whirled fast through the outer
regions of time, and watched the sparks of colored light around its
fringes play, and thousands more emerge, and the whole of the room
appear in the future, before the vehicles arrived, and sounds
became deafening.

The center of where the being had been
turned bright like a sun, becoming louder and brighter, with the
whirling decreasing, shaking everything furiously, including the
stone tower.

On its arrival it had been hit by a powerful
energy force from something strange from beyond the castle, and
though the time being had been able to reappear, but not entirely,
it had been held in the energy bubble, and trapped there.

Chapter 22

The Amazing
Discovery

It was incredible how startling things were,
and it amazed Kruger that they could make such mistakes!

In all the accounts so far mentioned
by people observing everything
–
spoken and written, and mentioned in all
forms of media
–
nobody had given anything about the general appearance of the
alien and site
–
the things, tower room, writings, symbols, and powers
–
and that they
clearly revealed that the alien could have paranormal
powers.

It was incredible how the two paranormal
scientists had handled the scenario of them not having any proof of
any paranormal.

They had many silent discussions, which
avoided given their thoughts on what they thought they were dealing
with, and seemed trapped in a situation of constantly trying to
prove something existed, not being fully able to do so and reveal
their thoughts.

Yet Kruger was unable to realize if he
himself could believe it was supernatural, even if it fully was and
they had all the proof, as it clearly had another side to it that
was showed it was normal, and it was just a new alien with new
powers, which could act in the same ways.

Though the discovery showed itself as new
alien discovery many people traveled over to investigate it, and
most of them were archaeologists, and many dropped their
investigation of the alien remains to reach there before they
missed anything.

Not one of them or the groups of scientists
were not astounded by the site, and tremendous location, and view
of the world and galaxy beyond, and many filmed it over and over,
from every viewpoint conceivable, and many were being shown on all
the media aboard the GX1.

Even the president of the GX1 had shown deep
interest in wishing to experience the site, and discovery in its
natural inhabitant, and intended to arrive later, after he finished
his current work, and all safety precautions were taken care
of.

Kruger had checked everything on top of the
castle roof, and with the people there that he knew, where he was
questioned on the discovery, and had noted that they had supported
the castle and roof with gravity stabilizers that could hold the
whole castle and roof up if everything else went crashing down
below.

He answered far more questions and details
than he could recall doing so before. The trip was turning a great
success, and he realized that how liked and admired the paranormal
scientists were, and far more than he thought possible, and he
decided to use their methods and technology in his investigations
of aliens on his return to the galaxy and Earth.

It had been incredible how they had invented
and used their equipment and had captured the alien, and foreseen
its not being able to escape, and hindered its dangerous
powers.

The site was incredible, and if the place
was not as dangerous, and remote, and was located near where he
wished to be, he would even consider living in the place.

It was incredible how they had
accepted and brought in the archaeologists to excavate the tower.
Many had been interested in the castle more than anything, and
could not believe they had actually found an ancient castle of the
past
–
there out in the deepest depths of space, in another
universe
–
and so closely resembling a now almost extinct structure,
which barely existed on the Earth.

They soon were all over it, and the amount
of vehicles were increasing there. Most of the vehicles packed onto
the top of the castle were being taken down to the lower world to
make way for them, and some were examining the remarkable pinnacle,
and how it managed to remain up, and support its own weight.

The place was a scientific wonderland,
and they were unsure how they would return there if they managed to
leave the universe, and return home, but, to
Kruger
’
s
satisfaction, many were now sure they that it was possible, and he
had tried to get information on their progression on returning
there, and had not received any information, and the two paranormal
scientists had shown that they had nothing on it.

Everything in the towers had been examined
as far as they could check them there, and they were now working on
a way of removing the entire top of the tower and taking back to
the GX1, which had surprised Kruger at first as he thought of the
dangers of letting such an alien aboard, after what the alien in
the void had done, but it was thought that it had been a one off
occurrence, and that they would ruin all the investigations of
aliens if they thought of them all as being the same.

They would have to find ways of handling the
situation to stop it reoccurring, and he was sure that they were
already making progress there aboard the GX1, thanks to the
paranormal scientists.

The scientists were working with many
engineers on removing the tower top, and were coming up with the
result that they wished, and they were waiting on some special
vehicles and equipment to be transported over.

When they finally appeared, Kruger was
standing looking out one of the castle windows at the stars, and
saw their massive shapes shift over the stars.

He examined the room about him again
wondering why the place was the way it was, as neither the alien
nor castle had any resemblances to each other, and there would have
to have been more of them or the alien had just liked the look of
such a castle.

He was sure from what he had heard by from
the archaeologists that that there had been other beings there, and
that they were sure that they had been the same as the beings at
the ruins.

The alien must have captured it or found it
abandoned there, and altered it for its uses. There were no signs
of how the alien fed itself or what it did there, and they were
unsure if it actually ate at all, and had some other means of
powering itself.

The vehicles were immense, and he was not
sure why, as any of the smaller versions of them that he had seen
aboard would have done, and would not have been so awkward to use,
and they never even fitted on the roof, and were landed below the
pinnacle, until they were needed.

He was sure that they had to have brought
them for a reason, and that they needed more power than thought to
remove the tower top, which he could not realize why!

Chapter 23

The Archeological
Discovery

The pictorial panoramic spectacle of the
world stretching out below from the castle was fascinating, with
the rugged golden shades of the starlight beaming everywhere,
through massive gaps in the castle walls beneath the tower, where
the archaeologists were working away, checking if there was
anything in the walls, and how the stones had been made.

He always had liked archeology, especially
on alien worlds, and liked exploring the past and the occurrences
that had taken place.

The world below now looked like it had been
frozen in time, and was a fantastic surreal prehistoric times
world, and he recalled why he had wanted to be a paleontologist. It
conjured up great visions of the original primitive world, with its
astounding untouched magnitude.

While he
rested against a wall he looked through a massive gap in the tower,
and occasionally examined the stone and debris the archeologists
sifted through, looking for anything of interest to him, and he
watched the sky in a place that he had not examined before, and
wondered what existed there and what other strange worlds there
were to explore, and started to realize he was starting to like the
galaxy more than his own, and that he would miss it, and the stars
would never be the same again when he returned, and that they would
completely empty.

In the
distance he spotted an incredible immense meteorite
crater with a strange mist cloud over it, only filling the
dent, fitting itself into with its shape.

He believed he would make a good
archeologist as he was interested in having everything
investigated, and the true findings being revealed.

The archeologists around him enjoyed their
work, and were still very intrigued with everything that they found
there, and what fascinating things they could find.

He tried to work out the age of the tower,
but could not, and just accepted the rough estimate given by the
archeologists that he questioned about it. He was still searching
for something, and for something that he was sure that he had
missed. There were signs that it was really old, and older than
they thought, and the walls of the tower had some materials in it
that nobody had recognized.

Perhaps it was from an unknown and rare
element found down there on the world. A new universe, and such a
galaxy, had to have such. The place was unique and a real winner,
and he had waited the majority of his life for such a find to
emerge, and now he was going to grasp it!

Major Ripley rushed over to him, before he
entered the stairs going up the tower, and immediately revealed how
they had received more powerful digging equipment and generators to
dig into areas in the tower, as they had found artificial objects
in the walls, which they could not recognize.

Kruger started to realize that something was
there, buried away in the tower, and saw that the archaeologists
had slowed down their operations, and were more interested in what
was buried away in the tower.
