The Adventures of Spyden: Book Two: Time is of the Essence
Disclaimer: HA!! I don't own Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (or any characters in it). However, I am the creator of Spy, (who is a main character in the story if you couldn't tell) Brion, and Ned.
Author's Note: This is the second book in my Spyden series. I highly recommend you read my other two fics first as they both tie into this storyline. Also, another fic will be going on about the same time as this one is "The Chronicles of Lewin". This also has a direct connection to this story. But remember, IT'S BEING UPDATED ALONG WITH THIS STORY! So I won't reveal everything in one sweep.
I would like to thank DanMat6288 for inspiration…and also deviantart's "Paradoxal" for inspiration as well (not to mention the look of the character in question).
I'm trying to keep the story mysterious…
Anyway, please R&R.
Now on with the story…

Prologue: Time drive
Spy lounged on the couch watching TV. You'd be surprised at the reception they got. Being in between dimensions; they got every single TV station from every single dimension. That doesn't mean much though…
"Come ON!! We have, what, a zillion channels on this thing! Why isn't there anything to watch!?!" Brion walked in with a "License to Grill" apron on, still wearing his mechanical gauntlets. Spy however was casual, battle suit off, taking a break.
"Ya know, you could always train more" Brion said as he dried a glass that somehow didn't break or scratch from his metal hands.
"No." he replied flatly.
"Well," a grin forming quickly over his face, "Why don't you try out my Time Machine!?!"
"Is it another one of your inventions that you want me to risk my life on?"
"Yep." He answered with glee.
"Nope." Spy answered in the same tone as Brion. Spy thought for a second, "Sorry about that, you've kinda been overworking me the past few weeks…"
"Why don't you go see that kid you saved…"
"Mac?"
"Yeah, him too." Spy was sooooo happy no one was around to hear that, "You haven't seen them in a while. Plus you can use it for a little R and R."
"How long has it been there?"
"Oh, I dunno. Maybe three months. I thought time moved faster here, but it seems to constantly change speeds, like the air currents or something. You know I bet--"
"I'm going, see ya!" Spy cut him off, tossing the remote behind him hitting a button on the couch. It transformed into a super computer, tossing the remote back into the air, causing it to fall on a blue button on its keyboard. Brion was in the kitchen tending to the dishes when the computer screen flashed on.
'Time drive activated;
Destination: dimension 467
Codename: "Imaginary Friends"
Year Jump: 15 years'
Spy waited in the departure room waiting for the blue swirl to appear over him. It flashed and moved down his body.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two figures stood in the middle of some town's square, under the gaze of a lone, flat-topped mountain that lay in the distance. Both were poised for battle, as their enemy drew ever closer to them. The ground trembled slightly under the sheer might of the army coming to wipe out anything in its path.
A tall red creature scanned the area frequently with his robotic left eye. The second figure, about 5'11", stood with his shield raised on his vertical left fore arm. The shield was a lighter shade of blue, though one might say it was just a regular blue. It went halfway down his shins as he held it up. The hilt of a sword jutted out of the top slightly. A large cursive 'F' was engraved in black on the shield's upper half.
His brown eyes burned with courage as the two knew that this fight would be their last stand. The wind tossed the shorter one's brown hair, including his blue bangs which matched the color of his shield. They blew into his eyes, constantly reminding him of who he was fighting for. The taller one drew a samurai-type of sword on his back with his robotic left arm.
"100 yards and closing, you ready, Lewin?"
"Ready as I'll ever be…" a red hand was found on Lewin's shoulder as the taller on looked down at him.
"We fought the good fight."
"And it all's coming down to this…" The ground continued to tremble.
"50 yards" After he said this, about fifty feet behind them, a blue swirl appeared and revealed Spy. He stood in confusion at the dark surroundings. It looked like the sun hadn't shined in decades. "Hm…" the taller one turned to see Spy appear from the swirl. "Lewin, I think we might still have a chance."
"What are you talking about?" he asked somewhat politely.
"There seems to be a rip in the space-time-continuum. If it opens up again you might be able to do what no one else has ever been able to do…"
"Escape…" Lewin drew out his sword from his shield, "There's only one problem with your plan, Time. We don't know when it's going to open again, and by then we might be dead.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to try." The taller one said with a fake-smile. Monsters of all shaped and sizes charged from the alley way toward the two warriors.
-------------------
Spy picked up a cell-phone like device, more like an inter-dimensional cell-phone, and pressed a few buttons before putting it to his ear.
"Hello?" Brion's voice answered on the other end.
"Brion, um, I think there's a glitch in your transportation thing."
"Why? Aren't you a Foster's?"
"No, I'm at, like, the exact opposite of it. I'm actually watching a pretty gruesome fight."
"Let's see here" Spy watched as the two warriors cleaved through monster after monster.
"HA! You accidentally activated the time machine, SWEET!!"
"No, not sweet. Get me outta here before I have to get involved."
"Oh fine, it'll be ready in a sec. I don't think you're in the right dimension either." Spy hung up the phone and clipped it back on his belt.
----------------------
The red, tall one spun his body allowing the spin and his two identical swords to do the work. His robotic eye buzzed and his other eye widened with a slight smile. He raced toward Lewin and grabbed his arm with his own Robotic one and threw him toward Spy, apologizing as he did so. Spy didn't notice Lewin flying at him until he rammed into him before the blue swirl enveloped them both.
"I have faith in you, Comeback Kid."
Those were his last words.
