Chapter One – Prologue
A man sat inside of a laboratory at a computer. He was a younger man, around the age of 19-23, based on appearance, and was shorter than the average height for his age and had short, shaggy, brown hair. He sat slightly hunched over, like he did normally when he sat, looking at a computer monitor, he analyzed the data as he scrolled down the screen. The laboratory he was in was a one story, basement level room under a house that a slightly wealthier than average man would own, considerably smaller than a manor, but slightly bigger than a suburban home. But back to the lab; it was well furbished with machines and technology that the man had purchased himself. The room was rather large, for a basement, and well lit. There were many machines and a few glass containers that contained strange liquids of many different colors. There were machines of different sizes paced around the room in convenient places, as they were intended to be easily accessible. A little ways to the right and in front of the man was a large machine that resembled a large, circular like door way, with other large rectangular machines connected to the ring/door like structure.
"Finally," The man said. "My work is almost complete." He said this to himself, since there was no one else in the room, as he most often did when he was alone. It was a bad habit that often occurred, he preferred to break the silence every now and then with his own voice, even if it did seem weird.
"Soon the I.D.T. 2046 will be ready to be shown to the world. Perhaps it is time to test it with myself."
He had tested the machine several times before with both organic and inorganic objects. All of which being successful, he was fully confident it would work if he tried it on himself.
"Power level full, reactor stable, space-time splitter synced. Powering up now." He said.
The machine began to start up, making a low 'vroom' sound. A strange energy began to fill the ring structure, making a portal. The man stood from the computer smiling to himself and began to walk towards the energy. As he stepped into the energy he felt a warm feeling wash over him. A voice emitted from his computer.
"Systems analyzing… object confirmed, human being, gender: male. Beginning startup. 5% complete."
The man thought about the situation, he was finally going to do it. After 4 years of tinkering, building, planning, late-nights, and problem solving. He was finally going to do it. He thought about the events that lead to this. Graduating at the College of Scientific Advancement and getting a job with some of the most recognized scientists in the country; he quickly jumped up to be a greater scientist than all of them, stunning the scientific community. After achieving a small fortune for his genius, which he desperately tried to turn down, he donated most to charity, but that still left him with a considerable amount of wealth. He then decided to devote everything to inventing something for the greater good of the community of all of mankind. That led to spending funds for the laboratory he was currently in and all of the technology in it, as well as it leading to months of research and planning, and then finally development. This took up the remainder of the 2 years he had set out to accomplish his task in and it took an additional year to get his device to work and then the final year was trial and error and testing. But it was all worth it in the long run, all those events leading up to this moment.
"Startup complete. Initiating system launch sequence." The voice cut in. "Launch sequence 36% complete."
"Alright," The man said. "This is it."
"System launch sequence 59% complete."
The man began to hum to himself.
"System launch sequence 80% complete."
"Oh right," The man thought. "I almost forgot the return device."
As he went to grab the return device he was paralyzed to the spot, unable to move.
"System launch sequence 100% complete. Inter-dimensional- Transfer initiated."
"Wait! Abort! Cancel!" The man shouted.
"Unable to comply, system sequence unable to be aborted." The voice replied.
"Execute emergency code 'Flashstop' priority code: alpha, serial code 25768913477!" The man exclaimed knowing what would happen if the code failed. After what felt like eternity the voice replied.
"Unable to activate. Malfunction. Security error: 7069. Press any key to continue…"
"Nooooooo!"
He was sucked into the tunnel; blue, green and purple energy spiraled around in the wormhole he was in. He floated through fearing the worst, wondering where he would end up. He had saved several dimensions for visit but, thinking he would have the return device with him, didn't specify which one he would travel to. He was worried about the mentioned malfunction the machine had, and he hoped that he would end up in one of the more pleasant dimensions he had saved, in contrast to the more violent and dangerous ones he had. As he neared the end of the tunnel he saw a bright light. He blinked and in the flash he found himself in a world, as well as a considerable height in the air. He then did the most logical thing, he screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"While he was screaming he noticed his voice seemed higher than it normally was. He also noticed the fast coming ground. He saw a small figure on the ground and realized he was going to collide. Suddenly he saw a figure appear in front of him, moving at an extremely fast pace. As he collided with the figure he felt the air knocked out of him, and heard the sickening sound of several things breaking and the last thing he heard was…
"Ow, What the hell!?" right before he slipped unconscious.
