The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (13 page)

Dr. Driek said, “I will be right back with my syringe to find out how this situation happened.” Dr. Driek started climbing up the rocky terrain to go back to his lab, as he really said he was. He shut the dungeon door and walked over to the guard that had tossed Tom into the dungeon. He shut the trap door so that way Tom wouldn’t find out how Iron Steel “fell asleep.” The guard said this, “Well, why don’t you get the syringe like you promised him so that way he would find out how this happened. Immediately, tell him, an alibi. The alibi you will tell him is that he got bitten by the serpents near the castle and that he was poisoned by the filthy, bacteria-infested swampy waters. Now, how does my plan sound?” Dr. Driek said, “It sounds like a perfect plan.”

An evil snicker left Dr. Driek’s face. Dr. Driek continued, “Now, it’ll be time to execute that plan, of course, after I retrieve the syringe and the needle.” A sinister smile had shown on Dr. Driek’s face. The guard remained in front of the door, and then started to pace back and forth in the corridor. Meanwhile, Dr. Driek walked over to his messy science lab. His science lab featured books thrown on the floor and one of the most crucial books that he had was the Science of Potions and Wizardry, which he stole from Foxworth. Foxworth is the wizard from the Magic Castle who often uses spells to liberate people of their problems.

The other books Dr. Driek had were the Laws of Physics, which was about how simple laws worked like the law of gravity and the law of motion which both methods were invented by Sir Isaac Newton. This was a book that he had retrieved from planet Earth, whilst on his visit to Planet Earth. The next book he had that was torn in half was the guide to the Magic Castle. Lucky for him, this book was buried underneath some of the books. The reason why he ripped the book in half is because he didn’t need the book after residing at the castle for thirty lengthy years.

Dr. Driek ransacked his potion library and, behind the potion library were syringes. These syringes didn’t look like generic syringes. The syringes that Dr. Driek had were very thin and long.

They were not transparent. So, the liquid that would’ve been taken is the liquid from the syringes. The liquid from the syringes would have to be poured out to see what the substance would look like. Because the needles were hidden behind the potion bottles he had to get every potion bottle and gingerly place it on the floor. From there, he turned around and a needle pinched him.

He screamed and fell off of the ladder. He fell on his rear and bounced off of it. He hastily pulled out the needle. Luckily, there was very little bleeding. The next thing that he did was find the syringe.

He found the syringe buried by the ripped up guide to the Magic Castle Book. From there, he started to exit the science lab. As he exited the science lab, a book fell on his head from the small library of four book shelves above the entryway. The book fell because it was opened which caused it to become loose.

When it hit him he was knocked unconscious.. The guard saw what happened. The guard started running up to Dr. Driek. The guard first took the syringe and needle and placed it on the ledge of the stained glass gothic style window. He switched the uniforms so that way when, Tom Jackson sees who is performing the injection of the fluid from Iron Steel, he can trust that it is Dr. Driek. The guard had to read how to inject fluid, and break the spell of the knockout potion that Dr. Driek tossed on Iron Steel, that eventually leaked into his (Iron’s bloodstream.) The guard held the syringe and needle and gingerly walked down the corridor to the dungeon door.

Tom said, “What has taken you so long?”

The guard disguised

as Dr. Driek said, “I had to find the syringe and needle.” Tom said, “Well, just get to work.” The Guard asked, “Who are you to say ‘just get to work’? You are a hostile. You’re lucky I am doing this for you.”

The guard penetrated Iron’s dragon skin and injected the potion liquid into his skin. After, the injection, Iron started to wake up. An eight inch eye started to swiftly blink. From there, he started to lift up his head, as if he had awakened from a sleep.

He asked, “Where am I?”

The guard said, “You were in the

dungeon, and I was the one who brought you here!” Iron said, “It’s go time!” Iron woke up fully and grabbed the guard with his dragon tail.

From there, he threw the guard against the wall. The guard’s skull cracked open. A grim scene once again. Blood started oozing out of his head and, since the skull was completely open, guts started to leave his head. This was a very foul scene. Iron Steel was really turning into a beast.

After Iron Steel killed the other guard with the smack of his tail, he told Tom, “Why didn’t you save me from the potion that was thrown on me earlier today?” Tom said, “How could I save you when that guard threw me into the dungeon?” Iron answered, “You could’ve used active resistance! Do you even know what active resistance is?”

Tom answered sarcastically, “No, what is active resistance?” Iron said, “Active resistance is fighting back, in a violent way!”

Tom said, “You know what, it is turning night fall and we’d better go to sleep now! Hope you have a good evening.” Iron just started to snore. First of all, Iron’s snoring was very loud that it can be heard from miles away. Along with that, he would constantly move when he slept, which would make an earthquake. Also, he had sleepwalking problems, on top of that. He couldn’t survive here. As the crack of dawn happened, he was just started to wake up. Tom Jackson was still in a coma.

Iron shouted, “I can’t take this place anymore! When the hell am I going to get out of here?” Tom said, “Never.” Iron said, “What the hell do you mean never? I thought that we was getting out of here now!” Tom replied, “That god forsaken king is a barbaric soul. You know that there will be no chance on Earth that that pinhead is dungeon.” Iron said, “Well, maybe we can find some way to get us out of here!” Tom said, “How?” Iron answered “I don’t know!” A bang on the metallic door was heard. When the sun had risen, the guard said, “Here is your breakfast. Eat up fool!” The breakfast was in a rusted metallic bowl. Iron Steel was not given a breakfast and, Tom Jackson received breakfast. Tom said, “I can’t have this crap!

You take it!”

Iron replied, “Well it is my last meal! One less soul in this castle today. Yup that’ll sure be nice!” He said this very sarcastically.

However, he did take the gruel. The gruel was brown and looked like dog excrement. He started to gulp down the gruel and on his first gulp, he started to feel funny. A shrill of coldness went through him.

When that happened, his leg started to weaken and, he started to fall to the ground. A loud scream left his voice.

After, he screamed, he said, “What the hell is going on ‘round here? I can’t take this anymore! I give up! That king wins.” Tom replied, “No, that big fool won’t win. You’re strong. Strong like warrior, you can survive anything. Even that thing!” Iron said, “What’s that thing? King Haggoth!” A loud trumpet played by the squire came from a distance. The squire sounded the trumpet.

Meanwhile, there was an event that the Magic Castle and all other kingdoms host and that was public executions which was considered entertainment.

King Haggoth hosted this one and said, “Come one, Come all.

Comrades of the kingdoms, From highest to lowest, Strongest and Weakest, Brightest and Darkest, Smartest and Dumbest, Rich and Poor, Right and Wrong, you will feast your eyes on a demise of an evil soul. This soul did harm to this kingdom and many other kingdoms. The people believed he was guilty and the highest of the high court punished him. He was a heartless soul. A soul with no morals or values. A creature who hurt my pet dragon. Who now, take revenge on him. This hostile, worthless soul, bottom of the barrel of the thing must pay for his sins. Here Ye, Here Ye. This nut even challenged the Grand Fromage.” Above the king’s tower in front of the Magic Castle Colosseum, was the squire. When the king said, “..this nut even challenged the Grand Fromage,” the squire pointed down at the king. Haggoth continued, “This thing will now pay.” The pompous and egocentric king called the guards.

King Haggoth told the guards, “Get the chains in the hallway, and shackle him up. Make sure he don’t escape and, if he resists, or if he doesn’t want to come out of his cell, call the horses in. Then, if his fool friend fights against you, take his fool friend, and put a dunce cap on him.” The guards said synchronously, “Aye, Aye Captain.” King Haggoth said, “Don’t call me captain. I am much higher in ranking, than a capitan.”

One of the guards said, “Don’t you mean ‘captain?’”

King

Haggoth nastily said, “Shut the hell up! Just do as I say or you are going to end up in that particular situation that the hostile is in right now. Just take the hostile out now!” The guards said, “Sir Yes Sir.”

The guards went to the dungeon with fear and intimidation. When they arrived at the dungeon door, they stormed in like troopers. Iron Steel said, “You aint’ taking me down without a fight!” One of the guards said, “Oh really. Let’s go!” Iron started to fight, he flew across the dungeon to where Tom Jackson slept and tried to rip off the bars of the dungeon window. As a result, he injured himself with a rust cut.

Surprisingly, an ouch left his mouth. Iron then told the guard, “That’s it. It’s go time. The guard said, “You’re not going to mess with me.

Haggelhoff, bring out that whip.”

Haggelhoff came from the guards. He was the biggest guard there. He was a staggering eight feet tall and was the size of a beast.

He had a beard longer than the Empire State Building and he would often use that beard as a rope. At least the guards used the beard.

However, no body dared to pull on the beard. Granted, the beard had finite space. However, the beard was about ten to twenty feet long. He would often trip over it. The beard was so thick that a bird’s nest would’ve grown in there. The bird’s nest might’ve been in some cases if he left the beard unkempt, a griffin’s nest. A griffin is like the everyday pigeons and sparrows of the Magic Castle.

Griffins, are about two feet tall and three feet wide, and have a wingspan that stretches up to almost a mile. Griffin’s were found hidden in the turrets of the Magic Castle. Now, Haggelhoff pulled out his big bright, unkempt beard and whipped it across Iron Steel. Iron tried to break loose of the beard. However, that wouldn’t work. Iron started turning from a blue dragon to a purple dragon. He said, “Let it loose a tad.” He (Haggelhoff didn’t listen to Iron’s command).

But, one of the guard’s said, “Let him go. I’ll get the chains.

All the guards, restrained Iron Steel, while the one who was not restraining Iron, retrieved the chains. The chains were three inches thick and twelve inches long to sustain a dragon. The guard who had retrieved the chains, wrapped the chains around Iron’s body and after twenty four wraps, he finally restrained the dragon. Unfortunately, the guards got tied up with him. Mutters of Anger left the other guards mouth as the guard who chained him up felt humiliated. King Haggoth screamed from down the corridor, “Thousands of spectators are waiting for the excitement. When are you people going to move along and hurry it up. The clock is ticking and my dragon is getting so hungry that he’s going to eat my horses.”

One of the guards who were accidentally chained said from the dungeon, “I am a little caught up in some situation right now!

Give about five minutes!” King Haggoth shouted, “Well they are getting hungry for the excitement.” The guard said, “Tell them that they just have to wait.” Now, the guard who was supposed to chain the dragon, started to pull the chain off of the dragon. The guards fell off of the dragon.

When the guards fell off of the dragon, one of them told the one who chained the dragon, “You were supposed to chain the foul beast, but you chain me also. What did you do that for?” The fellow guard said, “Yeah.” And so did all of the other guards begin to say Yeah. He (the guard who chained the dragon said), “I am going to have to re-shackle him. However, you all have to help me.” The guards helped the one who chained Iron up and Iron was shackled.

He was carried down the corridor to the king. King Haggoth said with a deceitful heart to the guards, “This is the moment I’ve been waiting for.” Then, he said to the people, “Are you happy now?

Your wishes are granted. Now, this creature will pay for his sins.

Squire, read him his charges.” One of the members of the squire from the Magic Castle came down the stairs from the castle. In ceremonial dedication, he gave the king his hat. Now, he read the charges to Iron Steel, who was the dragon being executed for the crimes that will be read. Squire read the charges. He cleared his throat and, then started to read the charges. “Hear ye, hear ye, all of the people from lands far and near, north and south, east and west, magic castle and non-magic castle, serfs and lords, kings and princes, queens and princesses, dukes and duchesses, masters and mistresses, and madams and sirs. I shall now read this foul, immortal, below the animalistic beasts’

penalties. The first penalty is the death of two guards. The second penalty is the penalty of treason against the beloved king. The third penalty is resisting the dungeon for a crime you are guilty of. The fourth penalty is.”

The squire stopped there. King Haggoth said, “What’s wrong squire?” The squire member said, “There is no fourth penalty your highness.” King Haggoth ordered the guard to bring Tom Jackson up to a booth to see what will happen to his friend because of the fact that his friend betrayed the king. The guard rushed over to the dungeon where Tom was being held as the hostile. The guard opened the door and Tom said, “What are you doing here?”

The guard said, “King ordered me to take you to him.”

Tom

replied, “Why, am I getting pardoned?” The guard said, “No, not really.” Tom said, “Well, I aint’ going!” The guard said, “Yes, you are.” Tom Jackson started to resist the guard. The king shouted into the corridor from the Magic Castle Colosseum, “What’s taking you so long again?” As king Haggoth was saying this, he rolled his eyes. The Guard said, “One of your prisoners is being resistant.” King Haggoth shouted, “I am coming down to see who this prisoner is. However, first, I have to have to tell the squire and the spectators something before I march down there.”
