The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (37 page)

"What are you studying?" asked Tom. "Starmos City", answered Drew. "Really, you're studying that place?" asked Tom.

"Yeah, I'm studying the alien city. I know what the civilians look like.

However, I don't know the government of that place", answered Drew.

"It's a dictatorship", answered Tom. "How do you know that?" asked Drew. "I've been there before", answered Tom.

"How can a simple Earthling like you travel from one dimension to another?" asked Drew. "Because it's a secret", answered Tom. "Well, tell me the secret", replied Drew. "Okay, I shouldn't be giving this secret away. But, I'll tell you", said Tom. "Alright, tell me", replied Drew. "I know how to travel from one dimension to another dimension. I have broken the sound barrier, surpassed the speed of light, and, met aliens in space", said Tom. "How are you able to do that?" asked Drew.

"In my dreams", answered Tom. "You know something; I thought you were physically there. You outright lied to me. How can you do such a thing?" asked Drew. "Okay, I was just kidding when I said that I visited the place in my dreams. I was able to get there in an LSC or my friend Light who is a shapeshifter", answered Tom. "So, you have a Light Speed Cycle as a friend. Is that correct?" asked the skeptical savant. "Yeah, and an alien as well", answered Tom. "Why would you have an alien as a friend when you're at war with the malevolent souls?" asked Drew.

"My friend is somebody that is respectable. The ones who are ill-willed are the aliens involved in the Starmos Government", answered Tom. "Okay. Now, will you please tell me about your ordeal in Starmos City?" asked Drew. "Sure", answered Tom. "Light and I visited the alien city. From there, we visited Cornelius Von Alien's Estate, the Alien Estate, which looked like an odd place. Everything was odd in this city. Continuing on, Cornelius gave me and Light a tour of the estate and, we were in the conference hall. From there, Light couldn't get down the stairs because he was a shapeshifting robot. Cornelius was spitefully stubborn and not willing to help Light down the stairs. The royal brute, Cornelius turned the stairs into a ramp and, Light fell down the stairs and, was knocked out unconscious. I threw a punch at Cornelius.

He tried to beat the living crap out of me. However, we reconciled. Light and I returned to the kitchen. I finally woke him up and, Cornelius started to show his evil personality. He was trying to poison us. I was able to eaves drop on the conversations in the kitchen about him poisoning the food that Light and I were about to devour.

From there, this evil alien tried using kerosene for the food and Will Von Alien, the chef at the Alien Estate, deliberately burnt the food.

From there, I decided to be spiteful to Cornelius and, so, I made a huge mess in the dining room. And, the valuable, pure chandelier was covered with food. Then, I decided not to apologize to Cornelius.

After that, Chef Will Von Alien served Cornelius some food with an ingredient that would put him to sleep. Cornelius was knocked out unconscious. From there, Chef Will, myself, and Light decided to flee the Alien Estate. Suddenly, we were stopped by multiple guards. We were shackled and sent to a holding cell. Then, we were brought before Cornelius on charges of treason and attempted escape. We were sentenced to life. Will managed to escape the Alien Estate because he managed to loosen his cuffs. However, Light and I were thrown in this hideous hole right outside of the estate. It was literally a hole. We met a beautiful soft spoken woman who was Cornelius's ex-wife. After meeting her, we experienced the royal treatment as compared to her condition. Will returned back to the estate and, freed us from the hole", said Tom. "Now, what brings you to my house or to 'my shack'?" asked Drew. "Well, you see, I have to be going from house to house because Mayor Stone assigned me to give this public announcement to every citizen in the residential part of town. So, here's the sheet", answered Tom. He presented the sheet to Drew, who asked, "Would you please explain this to me?"

"Sure", answered Tom. He explained, "This sheet is an announcement from the mayor. This announcement states that the evil alien army from Starmos City is coming down to invade Earth."

"You're crazy", Drew interrupted. "What do you mean I'm crazy?"

asked Tom. "Just hearing the thought of aliens planning to invade Earth is quite absurd. It is quite stupid as to why you think the aliens are invading Earth. Besides, that's a phrase that has been said from generation to generation to generation and beyond", answered the self-proclaimed savant.

"Can I continue telling you about this important public announcement?" asked Tom. "Sure, continue", answered Drew. Tom continued to describe this announcement. When he finished describing the announcement, he got up and started to walk out of the section of the house where the so called laboratory or office was located.

"Where are you going?" asked Drew. "Nowhere", answered Tom. "That's right, you better not be going anywhere", replied Drew.

Tom sat down on the couch in the living room which is filled with potato chips and oreo flavored cookies. The couch is an absolute mess. Cans of soda are found thrown all over the anachronistic analog television. There are only three channels on the TV. All three of these channels are adult channels. Channel Ten shows all news within California County. Drew sat on the futon style couch adjacent to Tom, who moved down as soon as Drew landed on the couch. "Why are you moving over?" asked Drew. "Because, you're scheevy, filthy, and you probably have lice. You're disgusting", answered Tom. "Maybe I do have lice, but that shouldn't drive you away from me", replied Drew. Tom jumped up from the couch and, leapt over the coffee table.

"What are you doing?" asked Drew angrily.

"I am trying to get out of your crummy quarters", answered Tom, who started to approach the doors. "Please, don't leave", replied Drew. "Give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't leave", said Tom.

Drew hesitated and then said, "Because, it wouldn't make any sense. Besides, I have a pinball machine. Perhaps, we can play a round of pinball." "Let me think about it", said Tom. He paused for a couple of seconds and then continued to say, "No, because your pinball machine probably has a bunch of lice on it and I don't want to be touching anything that has lice or any other crazy microbes that are walking on it." He started to open the door wider. "Oh, I have another reason why you should stay", said Drew. "Why?" asked Tom. "Two reasons. The first one being the fact that you probably want another person or figure involved in your group to evade and potentially stop the aliens from Starmos City. And, the other one being that I don't have any lice on me", answered Drew. “Those are two pretty good reasons. But, before I continue talking with you, you must do me a good favor, man", replied Tom.

"And, what would that be?" asked Drew. "I have an aPhone which can do anything to everything. Perhaps, this thing will be able to scan you to see if you are lying or not about having any lice", answered Tom. He pulled out his aPhone and opened up the scanner application. Drew started to turn the color of green because of the Light on the scanner. A couple of seconds later, the scanner said, "No lice. He maintains a good hygiene." "Is this thing accurate?" asked Drew nervously.

"Yes, it has been right since day one nearly ten and a half years ago", answered Tom. "How are you able to keep the same phone for nearly ten years?" asked the self-proclaimed savant. "First thing is that it is ten and a half years of age. Second thing is, that if you're extremely responsible like myself, you won't have to worry about your phone or any of your property breaking", answered Tom.

"Unfortunately, I never had a phone, never mind an aPhone.

Because, I was known as 'Calamity Drew' in my family, I could never be trusted with anything. Not even a piece of a post-it paper", replied Drew. Both, Tom and Drew walked in to the living room and turned on the anachronistic analog television. The sound is low quality and there are fades in the picture, once in a while. When, Drew turned on the T.V, immediately the CBN News channel came on and it featured
Gerardo Rivelti
. Rivelti said, "Ladies and Gentlemen in California County, I am reporting live outside of Town Hall. There is an important report going on. Some beastly aliens from a distant dimension are coming in to attack us humans. We can't fight them off because they'll be armed and dangerous with very powerful weapons as compared to the Earthling weapons. To prevent them from colonizing this town, I have three pieces of advice for all of you. First thing, is to close your windows and doors and board everything up.

From there, exit the house throughout the rooftop hatch that every citizen should have because it's the county law. Secondly, meet in the Town Square and we'll tell you what to do from there. After give you follow up directions, there will be an evacuation that you will be required to leave town on foot. If you don't follow any of these orders there will be consequences that will potentially last you a lifetime.

Now, Mayor Stone will be coming out to give a speech.”

The mayor gave his speech saying, "Thank you Gerardo.

Now, to all of my fellow citizens in town, I am sure you are very well aware of the fact that malevolent aliens are planning to invade the county. It sounds 'crazy' when I am saying this but, this is true. Three informants, one of them was an innocent, alien citizen, visited Starmos City, an alien city in another dimension, are coming over here to carry out an attack on three innocent, arbitrarily punished fugitives. Their names are Tom Jackson, Light S. Cycle, and Will Von Alien. Each one of these fugitives are different in terms of their physical being. Tom is a human who is from this county, Light is a shapeshifting robot who was made in a factory, and Will is an innocent alien who was terrorized by the brutes in the government.

All three of them ended up being imprisoned over there because the ruler, Cornelius Von Alien, didn't like them. Unfortunately, two of them ended up in the hole or the official prison and, one of them managed to break free from the shackles, as he was going to the hole.

The one who broke free from the shackles remained at the Star Hotel, a luxurious hotel in the alien city. Will rescued Tom and Light from the hole and, then, the three of them came into town."

"Excuse me, mayor, how did you find out that the aliens were going to invade Earth?" asked one of the spectators at the press conference at Town Hall. "They told me, that while they were listening to the radio as they were heading home, the prosecutor Jacqueline Langyaw, was at a press conference at the Starmos Convention Center, and she was seeking approval from Cornelius Von Alien", answered the mayor.

"What was she seeking approval for?" asked one of the press conference spectators. "She was seeking an approval to carry out a raid to find the trio of fugitives. Somehow, she managed to find out their origin town California County. And, she is deliberately planning to cause collateral damage all because she needs to get what she wants, and that is to prosecute three innocent souls", answered the mayor. He then asked, "Does anybody else have any other questions or, any other issues to address with me regarding this significant problem?" asked Mayor Stone.

"Yes", answered another spectator in the crowd. "And, what would that be?" asked the mayor. "I want to know if she got the approval to carry out the invasion into town", answered the spectator.

"Yes, of course she got the approval because the mad and bombastic brute of a ruler, Cornelius Von Alien has been out to get mankind for years. So, yes is the official answer to your question", replied the mayor. He then asked, "Does anybody have any other question regarding this?" The crowd is silent. "Going once", said the mayor. He then paused and said, "Going twice."

The crowd still remained as silent as a church mouse. After that, the mayor said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the meeting has been adjourned. My final words to all of the citizens in town, is that I am begging every single one of you to prepare effectively for this event.

And, follow each and every single direction in the protocol. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen for listening. Have a good day. And, once again, prepare effectively against these beastly, malevolent, vicious alien government from Starmos City. And, not, all aliens are bad. The government who rules the alien city are the bad ones.”

The mayor left the podium and returned into the Town Hall.

The stage, where the press conference took place was dismantled. The media returned the show back to the studios. And, the media companies continued reporting on this particular event. At the house, Drew turned off the television. "Should we start preparing for the evacuation?" asked Drew. "Sure", answered Tom. "Would you like to come with me to Joe's Hardware Store?" asked Drew.

"No, I'm going to leave now. It is crucial that we prepare everything on our own. Besides, I am going to return back to Town Hall where I have to meet Mayor Stone", answered Tom. "Okay, see you real soon. I will see you in the Town Square", replied Drew. Tom walked out of the door and returned to the Town Square. Followed by Tom's departure from that squalid place, Drew left his house to the hardware store. Meanwhile, Tom started walking to Town Square, the central hub of town. Town Square features beautiful medium oak trees, with gorgeous, green grass. There are older lampposts with hanging plants. And, the trees have Chinese style lanterns. Yellow Ribbons are placed in honor of the veteran officers who protected the town. In the center of the square is a flagpole which featured the American flag and the California County flag.

The American flag looks honorable with its stars and stripes.

And, the California County flag has a unique and honorable appearance too. This particular flag's colors are green and yellow. The yellow symbolizing the sunny days of the county and the green symbolizing the interesting variations of trees surrounding the area.

Tom arrived in Town Square. He is amazed by the fact that it was so quiet after the media circus that occurred less than fifteen minutes ago. He ran through the area where the flag was located. And, old folks, who are sitting on benches opened their mouths in shock. One of them yelled at Tom calling him a jerk face. The one who called him that name is an old lady, whose husband died in the First Alien War, which took place in 2020.
