MMM and Beyond: Foretold

Chapter One: Year 3000

“Tim!” My mom screamed to me. “Your going to be late for school!” “Oh, all right!” Tim said angrily. “I'm coming!” Well, I guess it's just another day of school. I always get up late. I only eat a half a bowl of cereal. At school, I get yelled at. This is my life. Welcome. This was our second day of school. My first class is science class. I don't like it! I always get D's in this class. When I started up the hall to put my books in my locker, I heard the bell right. “Shoot!” I said angrily. “I'm late for class!” I ran down the hall and up the stairs and to my right. I just went in and sat down. I was lucky because Mrs. Speare, our science teacher, was looking for something in her desk. Today we were going to make weird experiments. I couldn't think of anything to make. Jim was the smartest in our class. You know he's going to get a high grade. He's a grade A student. Mrs. Speare was calling on people to show their experiments. When she said my name, I just sank in my chair. I had nothing and no idea. When I stood up in front of the class, I said that my experiment was on general science. I felt in my pocket and found a couple batteries, wire, and a light bulb to an old flashlight. I put all of these items on the table in front of me. Then he saw a potato on his right and said he was going to make a potato light. Then he put the potato on the table. Sticked two wires in it. Hooked them to the light bulb and it came on. It was really bright. Everyone's eyes glowed with amazement. The teacher sat up and said A+ and started clapping. Tim said to himself that he couldn't believe what he has done. While everybody was clapping and starring, Jim was doing something as his desk. I walked over and saw a weird looking electronic. Then I noticed that he brain washed everyone except Jim and me. Then I noticed something else and Jim said, “Oh, do you want to try out my new experiment?” I said I didn't want to. Then Jim reached for it and pressed the button. I ducked really quickly and the light hit the books and in about three seconds, they were gone. It looked like a time machine or a disappearing device. I didn't know what it was. I wanted to know. I asked Jim and he just kept saying, “It works, it works, yes!” Then he pointed it to me and said good-bye like on the weakest link show, I tried to duck, but he already had hit me with it. Nothing worked for about five seconds and then I was off. It was really fast. I couldn't see anything. I was screaming, “Help!” “Help!” “Anybody there!” Then I listened closer and I heard footsteps. I was getting scared for awhile. I didn't know who it was or what it was. Then I heard a voice, “Someone in here?” I screamed back, “Help!” The door started to open. I said, “Don't hurt me!” “Please!” Then when the thing opened the door I saw a man. I said I was very scared. “How did you get in here?” The man said angrily. I just looked at him and said I went through time. The guy said, “No your not and started to read a book.” What's that your reading? He said, “Uncle Sam I am.” “Wait!” I said it like I was shocked. That is the same book that my teacher had. How did you get it. He answered with a puzzle on his face. “Ummm, I found it at a book store. They have tons of books like this.” Wait a minute. Do you have a newspaper? Yeah. Could I see it. He gave him the paper. Wow! It says today is JANUARY 13, 3000! The man said, “That's correct. Where are you from?” Tim sat there in silence and then said, “Oh. I'm from Pennsylvania.” I never heard of that place. Is it in this country? Tim looked at him and froze. Then he jumped out of his seat and ran out the door.

Chapter Two: CyberTRON

After I ran out the door, I stopped. I looked around and said to myself, “Wow!” I can't believe this place. It's awesome! A little boy walked up to him and said, “What's your name?” Tim. “You look funny,” The little boy said with an attitude. Tim just kept on walking and ignored the little boy. Tim was hungry and thirsty. He tried to find a restaurant or a mini-mart. He went to town and couldn't find any such place. He saw a man walking down the street and asked him if he knew a place to eat and drink. The man didn't hear him and kept walking. He was very hungry by now. Then he thought he found something. He went into the store and asked the clerk. The clerk said, “Yeah, you'll find that at a Regional Mall, the closest from here is five miles.” Tim replied, “Thanks.” He walked out the door and looked for a taxi. He said taxi and rose his hang. Nothing happened. All the cars that went by looked weird and didn't have wheels. They were hovering over me and over some small buildings. I was wondering about that man I first saw when I came here. Maybe he could help me. He tried to retrace his steps back to the guy's house. It took him awhile, but he finally made it to the guy's house. He knocked on the door. Nobody answered. He knocked a few more times. Then I heard someone coming and saw a shadow. When I looked in the window. A man opened the door. “Yes.” The man said in a low voice. Do you remember me? The man starred at me for a few seconds and said, “Oh, Your that strange boy.” Yeah, I need your help. I'm not supposed to be here. I don't belong here. The man looked at him and said to him that you must not worry, I will help you. By the way my name is Mike. Come in. “What's your name?” Mike said like he was confused. My name is Tim. I will explain why I'm not supposed to be here. See, I went in the future and I need to go home. Back to 2000. Mike looked at Tim and said, “Prove you came to the future.” Tim pulled out a card from his pocket and showed Mike. “Wow!” Mike said with amazement. So you really are from the past. That's cool. Tim just smiled and said, “So, how can I go home.” There's only one way to go home and that's to goto CyberTRON. He's a magical wizard and he can help almost everybody that has a problem. There's only one catch, you have to have two red and one blue coins to talk to him for five minutes. “Where can I find these coins?” Tim asked. Mike replied to that question, “Goto the top of the St. Lunas Mountain and there you will find them in a big magical gold metal box buried.” There will be a shovel and many bodies when you go up there from all the people who has tried to get the box. Don't worry you might make it up there. Maybe.

Chapter Three: The Roger's Mall

Tim asked Mike where he could get supplies for this long journey. Mike said, “Goto The Roger's Mall in South DownTown. They will have everything you need. Let me get my coat and I will drive you there.” “Ok.” replied Tim. it only took him a couple of minutes and we were off to the Mall. While we were driving, he said the mall was cool and will be the best thing you have ever seen. It was scary when Mike was driving because your over the buildings hovering and you look down and you see the tops of the buildings. This time is not a very good one. Everything looked weird though. I couldn't figure out why it was. I was thinking, but have no idea. It took about fifteen minutes to get to the mall. When he parked his car, it did look weird. The main door is shaped like the letter R and M overlapping. It was weird and cool at the same time. “At night they light up and does really cool light tricks.” Mike said. When we were walking toward the door, the door automatically came opened and also checked to see if we had a credit card or any kind of deadly weapon. It detected it by a big green and red laser. It was cool. When you go straight, theres a huge computer screen. About the size of a regular mattress. You type what your looking for and you automatically go there. It's like an elevator. You stand there and for about two seconds and you see black. Nothing to be exact. When we got there, we looked around for some supplies. There's a lot of stuff here. This building has five stories and three underground parts. It was awesome. We picked up some boots, hats, shirts, coats, climbing gear, handbook, food, and a lot of rope. We also got a big bag. When we got to the register, Mike put his hand on the table in front of the clerk at the register and a red laser scans your hand. In five seconds the clerk said, “Is that all?” “Yeah it is.” Mike said back. The clerk grabbed some bags and put everything we bought into a couple bags and asked us what section we parked our car. I said loudly, “Section 2.” “Ok.” the clerk said. Then with the transportation system, we were back to our car. “Are you ready?” Mike asked. “Yeah I am!” Tim replied.

Chapter Four: Mt. St. Lunas

As we were backing up and leaving the parking lot, I asked Mike how long it will take us to get to Mt. St. Lunas. Mike simply just replied with, “Oh, I am guessing about fifteen to thirty minutes to drive there and two hours to climb it. It's a big mountain. Don't worry, there will be breaks every fifteen minutes.” “Ok.” I replied to Mike. Mike didn't know how to get there so he looked at a map on his ten inch GPS Navigational system. He typed in Mt. St. Lunas and showed where we were and where Mt. St. Lunas is. Then he pressed a couple of buttons and the car started to move on its own. “Cool! That is awesome!” I said with amazement. Then Mike pulled back his seat and pulled out something really weird looking. I said to him, “What is that?” “It's a PS5X20 Entertainment System. It has really good graphics and sound. Most games are really fun and some are not so fun.” He put a little round disc. About the size of a fifty cent piece. I ask Mike what that was and he said it was the game. I was confused because of the size of it. While he was playing the game, it said it would only take five more minutes to get to Mt. St. Lunas. I asked Mike what he was playing. He said was a racing and an adventure game combined. It looked like a cool game. It was called The Racter Begins. The title is a little weird. Its cool that the screen is so big. I have never seen a thirty inch tv in a car before. It's flat screen and folds under the seat. That is cool I said to myself. When we got to Mt. St. Lunas, he had beaten Level 8 and Level 9. He said theres only 20 Levels. But the more levels you beat, the header the levels become. We got out and unloaded everything out of the trunk. Then we put backpacks on with food and other supplies in them. Then in like ten minutes we started up the mountain. We tied the rope to a rock and threw the other side on a ledge. We climbed up the mountain onto the ledge. Then we started to go up even further. It started to get harder for a couple minutes and then it got a little easier. After awhile I was getting tired. Then I asked Mike how long we have been out here on this mountain. He said about one hour and a half. We are half way there. We rested along time and then headed back up the mountain. It started to flurry a little but Mike told me not to worry. It will be ok. Then we were almost there to the top of the mountain and then out of nowhere, a big bald eagle comes flying around us. We were trying to go faster. The eagle made a loud sound. It hurt my ears. I didn't like the sound at all. Then in about five to ten minutes, the eagle had flown away. We were in shock. Then we climbed to the top of the mountain. When we got to the top of it, we saw a big skull and some other bones. The first words to come out from Mike's mouth was, “HUMANS.” I was getting freaked out about it. Then we grabbed our shovels and started to dig.

Chapter Five: The Magical Coins

We were digging for about a half a hour. We weren't finding anything. I asked Mike if he found anything. He didn't find anything. I was feeling scared that we might be like the people that were here before us. We rested and had some food and drinks. After that we went and digged some more. I was not feeling so good. As I got deeper and it looked like a whole troop were here and died from someone or something. I had no idea. I was getting scared for awhile. I did calm down. We probably dug for about one hour until we found something. I was digging and I hit something metal. I was anxious to dig around it and find out what it was. It was very large. I finally dug all around it and I could feel the bottom of it and I tried to pull it out. I couldn't pull it because it was so heavy. I used my shovel for a pulley and pulled it up. It started to come up. I was getting happier every second. I finally got it out of the hole. There was a big lock on it. We tried to get it off. We used over shovels, but that didn't work. I remembered that I had a paper clip in my pocket. I pulled it out and tried to pick it. I tried and tried and just couldn't get it. The lock was too old. Then I felt around in my pockets for some other tool I might be able to use. I found a sharp instrument. I don;t know what it was. I tried to open it. After awhile I got tired. Then I kicked it with my foot and it popped open. “Wow!” I said. I was amazed. When I saw the red coins and the blue coin, I was amazed. Then after I grabbed the coins, Mike set up something. I asked him what it was and he told me that thats out way to out car. He told me to close my eyes and I did. Five seconds later I opened my eyes and I was back to the car. This year is a cool year to live in. It's too bad I have to go back to 2000. Then we went in the car and drove into town. I asked him where we were going and Mike told me to the Mall. Mike said quietly, “We have to find the wizard and give him the coins, so he can help you go home.” We drove to the mall and walked to the back of the mall. I asked Mike where we were going and he said we are going to get the map to the Magical Wizard's Palace. We walked to a dark room and something appeared in the center of the floor. Lights came on and we sat in a chair and a lady said, “Do you have what I'm looking for?” Mike stood up and said, “Yeah I do. I will get it for you.” He grabbed a black coin and said to the lady, “Here it is.” The lady took the coin out of Mike's hand and handed Mike a folded piece of paper. Then we left. Mike told me that we have to get to the Wizard's Palace before six o'clock PM. I told him, “I think we can make it.”

Chapter Six: The Magical Wizard

As we were driving to the Magical Wizard's Palace, Mike didn't know exactly where to go so he typed a pass code into the GPS Navigational System and it brought up a more detailed map. Then he put it on cruise control. Then we watched a movie. The movie was about a young boy and he finds a golden dollar and wins a million dollars because he found a golden dollar and becomes a millionaire that lives in Beverly Hills, California. It looks like a good movie. The disc is the same as the PS5x20 Entertainment System discs. You put the disc into the same machine, but into a different slot, the movie slot. As we were watching the movie, I saw some thing outside that wanted my attention. I looked and this big black flying animal was smiling and waving at me. I looked back at the movie really quickly. I didn't look back out my window. Then I heard a loud thumping noise that was coming from outside. I didn't know what it was. I looked out my window and didn't see or hear anything. I was getting scared. “How many more minutes until we get to CyberTRON the Magical Wizard?” I said it like I was scared. “Ummm, about five more minutes.” Mike replied. I said ok back to him. Then I put my hands over my eyes and was thinking about something else. Then in a matter of seconds Mike told me that we were at CyberTRON's Palace. People usually say Magical Wizard, it doesn't really matter. When we stopped, a guy told us why we came to the CyberTRON's Palace. We told him that I wanted to go back to the year 2000 and we explained everything. The guy said, “Ok, follow me.” When I looked at the palace I was shocked because it was so big. “I have never seen anything that big before.” I said under my breath. The man took us to another guy inside the big building. He asked for the coins. We gave them the coins. Then they took us to another guy and told why we are here. Then we saw a big door that has jewels and gold rocks on the door. “That must be the Wizard's Throne room in there.” I told Mike quietly. Mike didn't say anything back. He just shook his head. I knew that mean something. Then the guy took us into that room with the jewels on the door. I saw a lot of gold rocks and jewels. The throne was turned around. I saw an old man when he turned the chair around. “What do you want gentlemen?” I am from the past and want to go back to the year 2000. “I see.” The old man said. “Could you hand me the coins please?” The old man said to the gentlemen. “Here you go.” Mike said while handing the coins to the old man. The old man started to think. Then he went in a door and came out with a table and three chairs. “Please sit down.” The wizard said. Mike and I sat and watch the wizard glaze into the crystal ball. The wizard was seeing something and kept saying, “Hmmm, hmmm.” Then the wizard spoke up and said to us, “I found how you can get home. The way you came in, is the way you come out.” “The way I came in is by a weird electronic my classmate had created. I can't get a hold of it. How do I get it?” “It's very simple. When you came through time, where did you end up at?” “I was in Mike's closet in his house.” “If you go there you will find a box with a button on it underneath the floor. Press that button and shut the door and you will be where you were ten minutes before you went into the future.” The wizard replied. “How do you know that?” Tim said. The wizard put his hand on his chin and started to think. “Because, the school you went to in 2000 was an old experiment lab. Scientists have died in the lab because of the explosions. When the classmate sent you to the year 3000, earth was not in the solar system, so you could not go to the same place. The classmate must have set something on the electron he made to send you to here. You are on Mars. Earth got hit with an asteroid in 2027 and wiped out the whole population, even plants. Then in the year 2028, something unknown happened. There were already people living on Mars when the asteroid hit the earth. Mike's house used to be a science lab. This one scientist made an instrument to go into the future. He hid the instrument and then he died. Nobody never found the instrument. He hid it under the floor in the closet.” The magical wizard answered. Mike stood up and said, “How do you know that?” The magical wizard said calmly, “Because I was the scientist's partner who died. He told me everything.” Mike and I both stood up and said, “Thanks for everything. I will see you later. Bye.” Then we both went out the door with the gold and diamond rocks on it.

Chapter Seven: Returning Home

We went to Mike's car and drove off. We went to the closest mall. We bought some food and some other supplies. After we went to the mall we went to a gas station to get gas for the car. Then Mike told me that it will take ten minutes to his house. After he told me, I turned on the radio. There were a lot of stations to choose from. i found a station that had a rock music on it. I kept it there. By the time we got there, I listened to about five or more songs. Then we finally got there. Mike got a crowbar and a hammer. We went into Mike's house and looked for the closet. I opened the door and Mike started to pull up the boards. After he pulled up the boards we found that there was nothing there. Then we went to the upstairs closet. Mike pulled up the boards and found a box. Mike opened the box and his eyes just glowed. In the box was a smaller box with a button on it. I stood up against the wall and Mike pressed the button. Nothing happened. Then I heard something coming from the basement. We both went down and there was a chair. It looked like a dentist's chair. I sat in the chair. Then Mike pressed the button again. Then on the screen it said insert month, day, and year. Mike inserted the information. Then I heard a loud noise and I saw black for ten seconds. Then I was sitting at my desk. I was in my homeroom. I asked the teacher if I could call my parents and ask them to bring in my science project. I called my parents and they brung it in third period. That was science class. “That day was over and nothing bad happened. That was good. I hope that I never go in the future again.” I said to myself.
