Chapter 5: Radio Tower Showdown
The tunnel surrounded me and I accelerated forward. When the machine stopped I was back in Professor Croak's Laboratory. I jumped out and pushed the shrink button on the machine. Immediately it's size was a lot smaller. I picked the machine up and dropped it into my pocket. "Back so soon, Louis?" The Professor asked. "Yeah, I am. Where is the radio tower?" Professor Croak took a map out of his pocket and studied it for a minute. "It's right here in Pellet town! Just a few miles down the road outside." Not wanting to waste any time I ran outside and looked for something I could use to get there faster. The best thing I could find was a bike. I hopped on and sped to the tower at top speed. Since I had competed in many bike races it didn't take me very long at all. Only a few minutes later I arrived at the tower. The outside was crowded with workers. I went up to one of them to find out what was going on. "Excuse me! What's happening here?" The worker turned around. He had a look of panic and confusion on his face. "A man broke in and he farted! I mean, it was so long and smelly nobody could stay inside! Once everyone was out of the building he locked the back door! Now we can't get in!" "Did you try going in through the front door?" The worker started to look embarrassed. "Well, no we didn't. We never thought of that." I rolled my eyes and pushed through the crowd to the front door. I tried the knob and wasn't surprised to find that it was open. Knowing that I could already be too late I ran inside and climbed up the stairs as fast as I could. After 80 flights of stairs I reached the top. There was only one door. When I went through it I was in the control room. Only one person other than myself was in there. "Who are you?" I said to the man. He turned around and started laughing. The intruder was about average height. He wore a pair of blue sunglasses and was very bald. "I'm Zeovanni, the Team Sprocket leader!" Zeovanni looked down at the control panel in front of him and pointed one of the many buttons. "But as soon as I push this I'll be the leader of much more!" Looking around I noticed a giant radio to my right. I hurried over to it and turned it on to max volume. "OH LADY, LADY, I THOUGHT THAT YOU SHOULD KNOWWWWWWW. SOMETHING IS RIGHT HERE! KICK ME LADY ONE MORE TIME!" Brittnie Peers's new song blasted through the speakers. "Noooooooo! I hate this song!" Zeovanni yelled. He covered his ears and closed his eyes. Zeovanni was paying no attention to me anymore. Thinking fast, I grabbed the time machine from my pocket and returned it to the normal size and pushed Zeovanni inside. I set it to a very special year and pushed the self-destruct button. Then to finish it all off I said the magic word, "Cheese!" The machine and Zeovanni disappeared right before my eyes. Knowing that the threat was gone I casually started my journey home.
