A Rupert fan fiction by

It was early september and today was particularly hot. School was starting again tomorrow, but Rupert and friends decided to spend their last day off biking to lake Nutchester to cool off for a while. It had been a few months since Rupert and Ottoline had found Lemuria, and since then, People flocked from all corners of the world to see the lost empire. Some lemurians had also decided to leave lemuria and just how much the world had changed.
Some even moved into Nutwood and began opening shops that sold various lemurian items. Little did anyone know, however, that a new face was about to pop up in the neighborhood.
Rupert, Bill, Podgy and Ottoline had just made it to the lake and began swimming around. "Ahhh." sighed Podgy contently. "There's nothing like going for a swim to cool down on a hot day." "You said it." replied Bill. "It's a shame that the school year starts again tomorrow." Rupert and ottoline had swam back over to the others after Racing each other around the lake.
"I win again! Come on Rupert, Best 5 out of 7?" said Ottoline waiting for Rupert to catch up. "I think I've had enough racing for one day. I must admit Ottoline, You're the fastest swimmer I've seen." Said Rupert as he made his way back to the shore. He pulled out a towel and began to dry himself off, completely unaware of the figure standing in the bushes.
*LINE BREAK*
The figure, presumably male, hid his face under the gaping hood of a featureless black robe. He watched Rupert and his friends were having fun. " They don't know how good they've got it." Said the mysterious watcher.
He found it hard to believe that a few centuries from now, the world would go through an enourmous change. One of the biggest being the ability to travel through time. The reason he was here, however, was due to an emergency.
He was sent back in time to save the world, but he had to remain hidden to avoid altering the timestream. This was easier said than done, as he had to keep anyone from discovering him. This was not to be, as would son find out. He then warp out of sight for the time being.
*LINE BREAK*
Night soon fell as Rupert made it home just in time for supper. He had told his mother and father about his day. He then got ready for bed. Rupert wondered what tomorrow held for him. It wasn't long before he fell fast asleep.
Rupert awoke to find himself and his friends sitting in seats on what seemed to be a plane. what surprised him was that when he loked out the window, he saw nothing but the blackness of space and a dark purple planet below. He felt himself speak, but could not understand half of the words coming out of his mouth.
His friend replied the same way, half gibberish, half coherent. there was the silence for a few moments before the entire vehicle began to shake violently. Him and the others began to try to make their way to the front of the uknown vessel, but before they could get up, a bright light engulfed the cabin as rupert felt his coniousness slowly fading.
Rupert awoke with a start as he began to remeber the dream. "What was that dream about, and why did it feel so real?" Rupert asked himself. these questions would go unanswered for now.
*LINE BREAK*
"What do you mean you haven't found the targets yet?" said a voice coming from a communicator beloning to the man in the black hood. "don't worry. I know where they are. I'll have them soon enough." "Good work soldier. Report back to me once you have them, we can only keep the warp open for one more day."
"understood sir. Over and out." replied the watcher as he closed the communicator.
"I've been here for months trying to find out more information, but I only have one more day before I have to return. Hopefully I don't get spotted before I can complete my mission."
He then began to float upward and shot off in the direction of the north tower.
To be continued.
