The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (23 page)

Starmos City is located in the center of rolling hills that are made of reddish, orange sand. The sand was made of clay. As Light and Tom reached the halfway point of Starmos City, Tom said, "Wow, this area is very amazing. It is impressive." Light replied, "You ain’t seen nothing yet." The LSC slowed down and entered Starmos City. There were two metallic monoliths at the front. The left monolith showed the word Starmos and the right monolith showed the other word City.

The LSC entered the city and Tom asked, "Can you give me a tour of this city?”

Light answered, "Sure. Did you know that I was built in this city?" Tom answered, "No." Light continued, "I was born here.

However, that has absolutely nothing to do with the tour. The first building you will see to the right is the Starmos Finance House. Every U.S. dollar is worth one hundred Starmos Bucks." The Starmos Financial House is ten stories tall. In Starmos City, a story in a building or structure is about twenty feet tall. The building had a dark blue facade. On the facade were green windows. On every governmental building in Starmos City the windows are bubble shaped so that way a burglary can't take place. The windows are green on the financial house to represent the color of money. Across the street from the financial house was the fire station in Starmos city.

Light described the firehouse to be your generic firehouse. However, it was a far cry from a generic firehouse. The firehouse had a Goldenrod colored facade and there were light green archways above every blue colored window. “The reason why there are blue colored windows is because the blue colors on the windows represent water which destroys the fires.” Tom asked, "Why is there a fire house in such developed city?" Light answered, "Well, you bring up a pretty good point there. You know, Tom, this city never had a fire until two hours ago. So within the last hour this building had emerged from the ground and therefore, we have the building that was out of our necessity."

Tom was shocked. He asked "How can a building be built within two hours?" Light explained "The buildings in this city are not transient buildings. These buildings here are permanent structures.

You see, each of these buildings is contained in a die like from a pair of dice. From there, the alien throws the die on the ground and a building pops up within a matter of seconds if the building is really simple looking. However, since most of the buildings in this city are complex and are far from mundane, attention to detail is programmed within the die or cube. Then the building can take a couple of hours to build. Someday, Earth may have this futuristic technological innovation."

Tom replied, "I get what you're saying. But, please say it in English." Light said, "Sure. Basically, someone has to throw a cube on the ground and the building rises up from the ground and someday the planet you're from will have this kind of technology." Tom said, "I still don't get it. Would you mind saying it in English?" Light answered in a snooty and arrogant way, "No. You're nothing but a simpleton and you have no brains. I don't know anybody like you. I bet if you answer a question, your answers will probably be erroneous." Tom said, "Yeah, that's not true. You're nothing but a pathological liar. And you're so condescending." Light asked, "Do you want me to throw you out of here?" Tom answered nervously, "Absolutely not, sir."

Light replied, "Good, we should continue with our tour." Light continued to drive down Starmos Boulevard. Adjacent to the Fire house was an apartment building. The apartment building was four hundred stories tall. There was an aquamarine background and gold windows on the building. The gold windows look like portholes. The reason behind this is it prevents any alien from falling out and even fitting in there.

Light said, "This is the main residence in Starmos City. It is called Grand Star Tower. The people who built Starmos City reside there. Across the Street from Grand Star Tower is Starmos Park. Light continued, "To your right is Starmos Park. Starmos Park features multiple trees, an orange lake, and blue grass. There are also large walks for Starways." Tom asked, "Why do the trees here have a green base and a brown canopy?" Light answered, "Because Starmos City is completely the opposite of Planet Earth." Tom asked, "Are we upside down?"

Light answered impatiently, "Now, why would you think that we'd be upside down. Granted, your weight in Starmos City is different than it is on Earth. However, why would you think the gravity in terms of the way you stand is different in Starmos City than on Earth?" Tom answered, "I thought because aliens inhabit this place that they would stand differently than humans would stand." Light replied in a snooty manner, "Well, your thoughts are very wrong. And has anyone ever told you this?" Tom asked, "Told me what?" Light answered, "That you're a simpleton." Tom replied, "Well, that's not nice." Light said, "Well, it's true. Now, can I continue?" Tom answered, "Sure, you can." Light continued with the tour. He described the blue grass. He said, "The reason why the grass is blue in this park is because that this grass came from Earth. However, due to the fact that it the clay like soil is found in the ground the green grass turned into a blue color. Even when the grass was immediately transported into the ground, it changed from a green color to a blue color.”

Tom then asked, "And what about the orange lake?" Light answered, "The Lake's orange because it has the clay like sand on the bottom." Adjacent to Starmos Park was the Light Speed Cycle Factory. The Light Speed Cycle Factory is a hexagonal shaped building. The building had bubble shaped windows. The building's exterior walls were orange. The windows were light blue colored.

Light said in excitement, "This was my birthplace in this wonderful city. I think it is very interesting."

Tom asked the LSC, "Well, can you describe it to me?" Light replied, "What are you talking about?" Tom answered, "Describe your birthplace to me." Light said, "Sure. The place is a massive factory.

When you walk in, there's obviously a reception desk. There are two alien ladies that work at that desk. They often wore blue and yellow polka dot dresses because the mundane Light Speed Cycle colors were blue and yellow. When you entered the factory, there were

double doors that were metallic. There were geometric designs that were found within the metal doors and the designs were arches and carvings that were swirly. Then, you would enter the factory. The factory was a huge gray room. There were approximately three conveyor belts. The first one was the one that featured the Mach Engine for us Light Speed Cycles. Then there was the cylinder metal molder. In this cylinder metal molder, there would be layers of different metallic elements poured into the mold. The cylinder would dry the melted metallic elements to make us. Next step, we would be dried for four hours, which in the human world means four days, after which we would be placed on another conveyor belt to have the engine parts put inside of our frames. Lastly, we would have the accessories like the radio and the air conditioner or heater placed into us Light Speed Cycles. From there, we would go onto the test track.

The test track was the regular road in Starmos City, the Sun, all the seven planets, all the dimensions, and the various Galaxies. We were also tested to see if we can hover for lengthy amounts of time. The testing process is the lengthiest process. This process takes twenty three hours. In the Starmos Light Speed Cycle Factory, we have approximately one hundred thousand alien employees. This is the most employed place in Starmos City."

Down the Street from the factory was the Alien Estate. The Alien Estate is like the Buckingham Palace of Starmos City. The Alien Estate has an Aquamarine Color on the front and the windows are light gold colored. The windows have bars on them to keep intruders out. There is a garage on the side though to let visitors in Outside of the resident was an orange lake with a fountain. The fountain was gigantic with a twenty five foot tall water jet. There are sprawling bluegrass plains in the area. On the side is the garage entry.

There are broad iron gates on the front of the Estate.

Tom asked, "What is this beautiful building that we shall be passing right now?" Light answered, "We're not passing it. We're visiting inside of it." Tom asked, “How can we visit inside of it when this place is heavily guarded?" Light answered, "I know my way into this building. To answer your question, this building is the Alien Estate. The Alien Estate is where Cornelius Von Alien resides.

Cornelius Von Alien is the most wellknown “resident of the residence.” Now if you're wondering about the mural on the front this is the mural that shows Cornelius Von Alien leading a few other Aliens that left Ford City throwing cubes that they snatched from their original city, Ford City, onto the clay sand here. Inside those cubes was information about which buildings should be placed in here.

From there, the mural continues and shows buildings emerging from the ground. This mural shows the founding and the development of Starmos City."

Tom replied, "Very interesting story. Now, when are we going to visit him?" Light answered, "Right now." Light pulled up to the side gates at the Alien Estate. Two guards came up to the LSC (Light Speed Cycle.) These guards wore black caps and had black buggy eyes like the aliens. One of the guards asked Light, "What is your name and what did you come here for?" Light answered, "It's me Light. I was Cornelius's driver. Let me in." The guard that questioned Light told his colleague, who was sitting in the security booth, "Hey, check to make sure that this guy can be let into the castle."

The guard in the security booth listened to his fellow colleague and said, "They're good people. I think they can be let in."

The gate opened. Light stopped and told Tom, "Listen. Turn on the intercom button and call Cornelius down to me." Tom replied, "It will be my honor to call your friend down for you." Tom rang the intercom for Cornelius Von Alien's Estate. He asked, "Am I speaking with Cornelius Von Alien?" Cornelius Von Alien answered, "Yes Sir." He had a duke like voice with a British accent. Tom asked, "Will you come out? Your friend wants to see you." Cornelius asked, "Who are you talking about?" Tom answered, "Light." Cornelius said, "I know who he is. He's the one that was my driver. Did he come back?" Tom answered, "Yes." Cornelius replied, "Well, tell him to transform into a robot and report to my place immediately. I will be waiting at the front door."

As Tom was talking to Cornelius through the intercom, Light was waiting to see his friend that he hadn't seen in a longtime come down. Tom then walked up to Light and said, "Cornelius says that you have to transform into some sort of robot." Light asked, "Why, should I do it?" Tom thought for thirty seconds and in a perplexed way, he answered, "Because the doorway is narrower." Light said, "Okay, fine then. I will transform." Light transformed into a robot. He looked like a generic robot. Cornelius arrived at the door. When he arrived at the door, Light started to walk up the stairs. Cornelius Von Alien started to show the house. "Welcome to the Alien Estate. As you can see, this is the long corridor in the estate with over nine hundred thousand metallic carvings in the wall, all of my face. The reason why is because I founded this city along with a few other aliens. Before this tour, I think I will get started, and would like to know your confidante that you have Light. What's his name?" Tom answered, "My name is Tom. I know yours is Cornelius."

Cornelius said, "That's enough with getting to know you. Now, I will start with the tour. The first door to your right is my bedroom.

My bedroom has a full bathroom and a canopy bed. My bedroom views the mountains that surround Starmos City." Cornelius opened the door of his bedroom. His bedroom had fifty foot by fifty foot space. His room was an exact rectangular prism shaped room. The walls of the room were beige colored to show modesty. However, the ceiling had a painting of Cornelius Von Alien's face in different personalities. Half of his face showed him angry and another half showed him to be elated. Cornelius had a two faced personality. There was an area rug which was green to show the pigment of his alien skin. The canopy bed was a king sized bed fit for a ruler of Starmos City. The canopy drapes over the bed were a crimson red color and the blankets on the bed were colored light yellow, yellow, and goldenrod. His powder room was to the end of the bedroom. The powder room looked like a generic powder room or bathroom.

However, the powder room had a soda fountain. There weren't any windows in his powder room, but in his bedroom, there were twenty foot tall windows. On the top of the windows were beautiful arches.

Tom and Cornelius walked into his (Cornelius's room.) Tom said, "What an awesome room you have. Can I look out the window?" Cornelius answered, "Why, of course you can." Tom looked out the window. "You've got an impressive view." Cornelius replied, "Thank you. This is the view of the surrounding mountains of this city. Let's stop looking at the windows now and head out of here."

He pointed to the powder room door and said, "This is the powder room. Let's go to the guest room." The trio exited the master bedroom, returned to the hallway and walked over to the guest room.

Cornelius explained, "Well, right here we have the guest room. This is the room that you might be lodging in. It has a bunk bed, and a queen sized bed. There are two powder rooms. And it also has a similar view of the Clay Mountains that surround Starmos City. Here, I'll open the door to show you the room." He opened the blue door to show Light and Tom the guest room. The walls of the room were dark blue. There was one bunk bed, which looked like a generic bunk bed with a ladder connecting to it. There was one queen sized bed. The beds didn't have any comforters because they were just cleaned. The windows were square windows and the powder room was a generic powder room, similar to the other room. The trio entered the room. Tom said, "This is very generic looking. It looks sort of like a hotel room." Shocked, Cornelius Von Alien said, "How dare you insult one of my rooms in this house! But, what do I care. It is only the Alien Estate." It was six o' clock in the evening and it was dinner time at the Estate. Cornelius, Light, and Tom walked out of the room in a single line. Light whispered to Tom, "You know what Tom, you've brought up a pretty good point there.
