Spoilers for Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

I don't own any of the main characters

Chapter 1: Hit By the Blue Box

A little boy with a blue hat and jumper walked out of a door into a sunny morning. Luke picked up his morning mail, and looked through it.

"Nothing from the professor…" He sighed. He had been living in his new settlement for at least a couple weeks. Luke had moved away from the professor very recently.

(The last mystery Luke solved with Professor Layton was the Unwound Future.)

"I wonder when he will start sending any mail," Luke said with a hint of annoyance. He paused and looked around from where he was standing. The small town his family had moved to had buildings that were enclosed next to each other. This make the town have very few roads, and the roads that they did have had many dead ends.

The fact that Luke was away from the professor was still quite weird, but he got along well without him. Luke still missed the professor, but little did he know, he would see him very soon.

After taking a glance at the newspaper, Luke heard an odd sound like an engine spiraling. He looked around wondering what it could possibly be. Then he saw it.

A big blue box was flying towards him. It banged against walls of the buildings that were nearby while setting off sparks. It looked like it was being controlled poorly, and rocketed in Luke's direction.

At first Luke was startled, and rubbed his eyes in confusion. Then he found out that, if he didn't move, the box would crash into him. He dropped his mail, and ran down the street frantically.

"Ahhhhhh…" Luke yelled as he was running down the road on the verge of falling over.

Up ahead a large brick wall greeted Luke. Luke found himself trapped. He kept running, but closed his eyes bracing for impact. Instead of feeling the pain of a large box rocketing into him, Luke felt arms grabbing him and dragging him into the box. The blue box then disappeared before it even hit the wall.

~Five Days Later~

"Good day to you, Hershel," Dr. Schrader greeted the professor as he walked inside his mentor's old headquarters. "I'm glad that you could come, for you see, I have and artifact that I have never see or heard anything about from anywhere."

Dr. Schrader handed Professor Layton a small wrapped up piece of clothe. Layton unwrapped the clothing to find a small black metallic devise with a blue eye put on one side. It was round, smooth, and seemed unbreakable. It looked to be very old, and was awfully burned up, but it had a gleam to it that made the Professor very interested in it.

"I haven't seen anything like it." The Professor said simply.

Dr. Schrader sighed, "I was hoping you wouldn't say that." He took the artifact from Layton, and wrapped it back up.

Suddenly Flora busted into the room, "Professor! Professor..." She said out of breath.

"Flora, what did I say about running off without my permission." Professor Layton said angrily.

"It's about Luke! He has gone missing!" Flora said in a worried tone of voice.

"What!" Professor Layton and Dr. Schrader said in unison.

"Here..." Flora said giving Professor a newspaper, "Look at this." She had a concerned look on her face as she pointed to an article.

The Professor looked at the paper and read out loud….

Luke Triton Disappeared

Yesterday at around 11 a.m. Luke Triton, a small 13 year boy, was reported missing. We came up upon the crime scene and found that a few witness's had seen him gathering mail when what looked like a "Blue Police Box" came rocketing down from the sky. They say that the box took Luke and disappeared with him. We think that the witnesses were just imagining this, but then every story was in the same way. To us this sounds absurd, so we believe that the person who kidnapped this boy used some sort of illusion. We will keep you updated on what we find in this strange disappearance.

Professor Layton stopped reading a looked up. He was in deep thought. "Something isn't right here…" He contemplated.

Dr. Schrader looked completely baffled. He then spoke in a soft tone, "It… can't be…" The Professor and Flora looked toward him. "That box… I thought it was just a myth…" He hesitated and looked at Professor Layton. "There are records of a Blue Box that appear all through time."

Flora gasped and Professor Layton stood listening intently. Dr. Schrader continued, "The interesting thing about the appearances is that they are always around the darkest times in history. So if that is the case, something very bad is going to happen, and soon…"

Professor Layton frowned, "If this is true, why take Luke?" He thought to himself.
