An Anastasia /The Time Tunnel crossover.
Based on Anastasia and The Time Tunnel both owned ironically by 20th Century FOX.
The Time Tunnel is a science Fiction Televsion Series which ran on ABC from 1966-1967. It involved two scientists who ran into a device called the Time Tunnel which allowed them to travel through time in order to prove it worked to a visiting senator who threated to cut funding for the project. The Time Tunnel is located in a huge underground complex somewhere in the Arizona desert. The scientists keep getting transfered by The Time Tunnel staff each week to different time periods. The staff back at the complex can watch and hear everything the two men encounter through the tunnel's electrodes which project an image in front of the tunnel because the men took a radiation bath when they entered the tunnel. People from history had a trandency to end up in the complex due to various causes such as holding objects sent back for the scientists to collect or being transfered for various reaons. I have the whole series on DvD. Also I will start with the intro from the first few episodes of the series. I have already written one story about The Time TUnnel called "Time of Special Purpose about the real Anastasia".
"Two American scientists are lost in the swirling maze of past and future ages, during the first experiments on America's greatest and most secret project, the Time Tunnel. Tony Newman and Doug Phillips now tumble helplessly toward a new fantastic adventure, somewhere along the infinite corridors of time."
The time corridor slowly faids away. Doug and Tony found themselves on a bridge. They see a tall bearded man holding a green requilary. "Anastasia. ",Rasputin whispers.
"Did you hear that name he called out Tony?",Doug asked his friend.
"He said Anastasia. Could he mean Anastasia Romanov? ",Tony said.
"Possibly. We are in Paris ,France somewhere. I saw the Effel Tower nearby. ",Doug said.
Just then they notice a beautiful young woman holding a dog approaching the bridge. She is wearing a cream colored dress with a light blue order and a silver tiara on her head. She is being drawn by the man on the bridge. Anastasia ,nor Rasputin notice Doug and Tony at the other end of the bridge.
"Could that be The Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov? ",Tony asked.
"I think so. This could be the night she disappears. ",Doug replied.
"Rasputin! ",says Anastasia.
"It's Rasputin and he's trying to kill her. We have to help.",Doug said.
Doug and Tony race towards Rasputin. Tony punches Rasputin from behind knocking him down. Then Doug kicks him and sends the requilary away from him causing all the greeen creatures he summoned to disappear. Back at the time tunnel complex the staff have a fix on Doug and Tony and are watching the fight on an oval shaped display in front of the tunnel.
"My god! That is Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov! The last grand duchess of the Romanov's. ",Dr. Ann McGregor said.
"We have got to try to save her. It is July 17,1926 the night she disappears. ",General kirk said.
Dr. Ann McGergor and Dr. Raymond Swain are in charge of the time tunnel itself. Ann is a white woman with black hair ,blue eyes, and wears a light green blouse and skirt under her lab coat. Dr. Raymond Swain was a bald white man with glasses and a black suit with a lab coat over it. General Kirk was another bald whie mand in a tan army uniforn. Ann sat at the middle console in fron of the tunnel. Ray and General Kirk stood near Ann. The tunnel itself was made of alternating black and white ovals. To the right of the main consoles was a bank of computers run by several members of the staff. Behind the computers many of the buildings which made up the underground complex could be seen. The control center sat on a raised platform in the middle of the complex.
"Can you get a fix on her? ",Dr Raymon Swain asked.
"No I can't. ",Ann said.
Ann continued to work her console.
Rasputin charged at Anastasia trying to get his requilary back. Anastasia had it under her foot. Doug and Tony chased after Rasputin. Anastasia stepped on the Requilary once cracking it.
"This for my family. ",Anastasia said.
Rasputin fell to his feet begging her to return the requilary.
"Give that back!",Rasputin said.
"This is for Dimitri. ",Anastasia said as she stepped on the requilary again.
"and this is for me. Dasvidanya!",Anastasia screamed as she crushed the rquilary.
Rasputin desintergrated in front of everyone. Dimitri came running towards Anastasia.
"That thing she hit has given me a fix on her.",Ann McGregor said.
"Do it! Transfer her now!',ordered General Kirk.
Ann McGregor hit the buttons on her console and Anastasia vanished suddenly from the bridge.
Dimiri fell and hit the bridge as he flew through the spot where Anastasia had been moments before.
"They transfered her. They may have been trying to transfer us and then maybe not. ",Doug said.
"Maybe they wanted to save her. ",Tony said.
Dimitri got up and grabbed Doug.
"Where did she go? Who are they?",Dimitri said as he shock Doug.
"Calm down. She has been transfered by The Time Tunnel. Our friends back at the complex had transfered her to their time. ",Doug explained.
Dimitri let go of Doug.
"Their time? What are you talking about. ",Dimitri asked.
"She has gone to 1968 the year the time tunnel was put into operation. We are time travelers sent here by accident. ",Doug explained.
"Then get her back!",Dimitri groaned.
"We can't do anything about her. It's out of our hands. ",Doug explained.
"You better have a good explanation for her grandma the Empress Marie ,because she is not going to be happy about this. ",Dimitri said.
"Maybe you better take us to her so we can explain it.",Tony said.
Back at the time tunnel complex Anastasia appeared in the front of the time tunnel and walked out of it confused.
"Where am I? Am I dead? ",Anastasia asked.
"Your Highness you are in the future. We have saved you. ",Ann said.
"The future? ",Anastasia said puzzled.
"Please could you come over here. This is a American underground complex in the year 1968. ",General Kirk said.
Anastasia walked away from the tunnel and heading to where Ann,Ray, and General Kirk were. She noticed the time tunnel pulsing with energy.
Ann brought the image back up. Doug,Tony and Dimitri were talking to Empress Marie.
"Where is my granddaughter? ",Empress Marie asked.
"You can see them and hear them? ",Anastasia asked.
"Yes the image is coming from the recorders in the tunnel. ",Ray explained.
"She got caught up in our Time displacement experiment. Our friends were trying to save her. History says that tonight she disappears and is never seen again. No one knows why. ",Doug said.
"Think what would happen to the Soviet Union if they got word that Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov is alive. The Soviet Union itself could collapse and they would be begging her to take the throne. ",General Kirk said.
"I don't care about that. I want to go back to 1926 and to Dimitri. I came out of that tunnel thing and could I go back by running into it?",Anastasia asked.
"Yes as long as we have a fix on 1926. However no one is going to allow that to happen. ",Ann said. Anastasia started running towards the tunnel and two Mps with white helmets with the Project Tick Tock hourglass logo restrained her.
"Let me go you have no right to hold me here. ",Anastasia said as she tried to get free.
"We are doing this for your own good. History says the night that Doug and Tony are in you disappear forever and we are not going to allow that. ",General Kirk said.
"How soon until you can transfer Doug and Tony? ",Ray asked Ann.
"About five more minutes. The sooner we break the fix on 1926 the better. That grand duchess is too important to history. ",Ann said.
Anastsia struggled with the MP's.
"Who is this Dimitri she speaks of. ",Ann Asked.
"A kitchen boy from the Catherine Palace and a conman. I don't know why she cares about him. Not the kind of person you want to be involved with a grand duchess. ",Ray said.
They were down to two minutes. Anastasia kicked one guard in the groin and punched the other in the face. Anastasia picked up her skirt and ran for the tunnel.
"Keep her away from the tunne for two more minutes! ',Ann screamed.
The staff tried in vain to stop Anastasia ,but they only slowed her down. She kept getting closer and closer to the tunnel.
"One more minute till transfer. ",Ann said.
Anastasia was now at the edge of the time tunnel itself fighting other staffers.
"Activating transfer. ",Ann Said.
"Dimitri!",screamed Anastasia as she ran into the tunnel ,but it was too late.
Doug and Tony vanished in front of Dimtri and Empress Marie.
"What are you going to tell them? ",Dimitri asked.
"Just that she disappeared. No one would believe all this talk of Time Tunnels.",Marie said.
Blue mist and blue sparks appeared in the time tunnel.
"She's in the radiation bath. ",Ann said.
"We couldn't stop her in time.",Ray said.
"Make sure she uses the same radiation as Doug and Tony. ",Ray said.
"It's automatic. ",Ann said.
"Does this mean we have three people instead of two in there now?",General Kirk asked.
"Yes it does. ",Ann replied.
Doug ,Tony and now Anastasia were floating in the time corridor. Various colors swirled around them. Then the time corridor disappeared and they were in a lavishly decorated room.
"Where did you come from?",Tony asked Anastasia.
"What this is not 1926. I ran into the time tunnel trying to go back to Dimitri. ",Anastasia said.
"You must have enterd it right during a transfer. Your stuck with us now. ",Doug said.
"I recognize this place. It is the Catherine Palace ,but it is different. There are no electric lights. ",Anastasia said.
Some guards came in.
"Are these men haressing you. Your Highness. ",a guard asked.
"No they are friends. ",Anastasia said.
Another man with dark hair enterd the room.
"Do you know these man. Your Highness. ",a guard asked.
"Who are you? ",Anastasia asked.
"Why don't you know me? I am Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanov. ",Peter said.
"Peter the Great. ",Anastasia replied.
