Chapter 3: Displaced Part 2
Siberian Outlands, Russia-The alien Craft crashed near the town of Sochi, the year was 1920, and the man who had survived the crash bore an alien tablet Nd He saw the dying man. The man was from the planet Krypton, and his name was Ephraim Zod, part of the Military Guild asked by the Science Council to investigate this strange planet to see if it was hospitable for Kryptonian life. The man stared at the dying man.
"Who are you?" Ephraim asked the man. "Vladimir Knight, a diplomat sent here from the United States under the authority of the League Of Nations to help map out The Russian country for battle as years ago our countries were embattled against an alliance of countries. We are trying to broker peace with the new Soviet government and they asked for the League's help. The United States of America agreed but the diplomat would have to use a Russian name in order to enter the Country. Where are you from?" Vladimir asked. The man smiled. "A faraway world called Krypton. I was asked by the Science Council to study this planet," he stated. Vladimir smiled. " That place you described sounds nice," He said. Zod shook his head. "it sounds very much like this Earth," He finally said. "I need you to finish what I started," Vladimir said, coughing up blood. Zod nodded. He lifted the dying man and he brought the man to the medical part of his landing shuttle that was still working. He then suddenly felt it. A teleportation beam from out of time. The man then quickly used his tablet and scanned the dying man's face and body and His body took the form of the man and He nodded as the man died. The beam materialized and a man stood in the frozen Tundra. Ephraim who had deleted his name from the Kryptonian records found a simple blanket given to him by Seg-El, a friend back on Krypton, and ran to cover the man to release he was given gifts on this planet thanks to it orbiting a yellow sun. He then ran back and found the man shivering from the intense cold. He brought the man into the medical end of his shuttle. The man was unconscious. Ephraim gave himself a shot of blue Kryptonite that initially were brought here to study the effects of their own planet on this planet and He discovered the sudden rush of strength and speed he had felt were gone after the injection.
"Kelor, can we warm this human's body up to preserve his life," Zod asked the AI that controlled the ship. The AI answered, "Yes, we can Commander Zod," Zod responded, "No. From henceforth I am Vladimir Knight. Erase all information related to Ephraim Zod and send word that all aboard were killed in a crash on this planet known in the archives as Planet 295. Since there is no way for me to get home, I must adopt to this world and it's ever strange culture. Can we discover this man's identity," the man known now as Vladimir Knight said as the AI had finished reconstruction of Vladimir's facial features and then seamlessly overrode Ephraim Zed's face with the face of Vladimir Knight. He stared at the man and then discovered in the man's back pocket his wallet and discovered the man's name was Michael Arthur Knight.
"Where Am I?" Michael asked as he woke up and saw the man.
"I found you, and I know who you are, Mr. Knight. My name is Vladimir Knight, and I have discovered we are related. Where is it you need to go?" Vlad asked the man. "Los Angeles. I was sent back in time to recover a man named Randy Merritt who can help me in my own time. I traveled back in time and somehow was sent here," Michael said weakly.
"Where do you need to go?" Vladimir asked. "Los Angeles, to the Estate of Wilton Knight & the year will be 1981," Michael responded. Michael stared at the Kryptonian Hieroglyphics as a map came up as a time displacement wave appeared on a screen similar to the one KITT had. Michael gave Vladimir the address of the Knight Estate. He saw the land where the Estate would be in 1981 on the HUD.
"I'm going to send you back, but first I have to get you there, and Kelor can transport you and this tablet will instantaneously teleport you there. It's technology we recently developed but untested. I was warned to not use it by the Science Council but in this case your displaced out of time and we must return you back where you belong, My son," Vladimir said as he began touching the Kryptonian Hieroglyphics and light began to shine around Michael Knight.
"Thank You Vladimir," Michael said. "May the gods guide you back," Vladimir said giving him a traditional Kryptonian greeting which was an open hand a fist touching the open fist which was similar to a greeting used in Tai Chi.
1920-The land where Knight Estate would be-Michael arrived and saw in his hand a tablet with the Kryptonian hieroglyphics on them, and a voice that was similar to KITT's spoke up. "Please input or speak the time designation you wish and the world around you will be filled in as you travel into time seamlessly," the male sounding voice that was similar to KITT said. The Kryptonian hieroglyphics then transformed into English letters and he inputted the date that He had arrived at Knight Estate. Instantly the empty forest began to fill up with building and the Estate stood before him and He found himself at the exact point when He had left.
"Michael, where were you?" KITT asked speaking through the earwig that Michael had been given before He had left for 1981.
"I got transported to the past, and then teleported back here, partner. The party is started, right?" Michael asked. KITT gave an affirmative. He then walked in with the alien tablet and went to a bedroom that had been converted to the security Office of Knight Estate. He saw himself.
"Vladimir, Good to see you. Since your here, can you monitor things here while I go out and mingle. My partner is waiting for me to relieve him," Michael Long said. Michael just nodded, not realizing Monty was here too. He sat at the security desk sounded by the computers and security screens. The other two guards smiled at him. "I've got it," He finally said. The security guards then left and the strange tablet suddenly tapped into the security feeds and it spoke, "I am now tapped into the security feed. Who are you looking for?" it asked. He then heard KITT speak. "Michael what is that voice over your coms? It sounds like me,"
"Let's not worry about that now, partner. Let's just find Randy Merritt," He said. He then stared at the tablet as the voice then spoke through his earwigs. "Who do you seek?" the alien voice asked him again in flawless English. He spoke to no one in particular.
"Randy Merritt," He said. Immediately an image of Randy as a picture of Randy as a boy came up. "You have an incoming call coming through your vehicle's communications link. It's coming from the year 2018," the alien voice said.
"Anyway, we can route that call here," He asked. "I can use holographic coms that are used on Krypton," The voice said. Michael said. "Do it, and break through the disturbance time wise," Michael asked.
"Done. I will also integrate the holographic coms into your vehicle's systems," The voice offered and Michael nodded. He waited for the criticism that was to come from Garthe Bishop…
