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) JtHM and all characters relating to Jhonen's fabulous works. 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…
One word on update speed…Midterms…
The windows around me shattered, they really hurt.
Anyway, please R&R.
Now on with the story…

Chapter Four: Mac meets Mac
"That one time, you didn't save me from just any monsters…you saved me from my fears, my nightmares." Todd brought his gaze toward the stairs ready to help Lewin up them. The stairs seemed to get closer, and Todd realized that they were floating on a wooden wave somehow forming from the floor.
"You don't owe me anything, Todd. You may not realize it, but you've saved ME more times than I can count." The two rode the wave to the room Spy was in. Spy was sitting up on the bed, obviously waiting for the two to arrive.
"You want to explain?" Spy asked with a hint of annoyance. Lewin waited a moment before turning to Todd.
"Get Mac and Frankie…they need to hear this too." Todd nodded and seemed to melt into the shadows of the room, which were growing larger as dusk approached. He turned to Spy, "Who was that guy?"
"Ned." Spy answered simply. Lewin wasn't amused.
"Thank you for such a descriptive answer. You win a new car!" he replied sarcastically.
"You SHOULD already know him. And don't tell me you haven't, you aren't the type to lose your memory, considering you attacked me and Duchess for some reason. She must be a deep root of hatred inside of you for you to become blind with rage." Lewin closed his eyes, trying to remember anything relating to 'Ned' in his mind. It didn't take him long to figure it out.
"So he was the one that you saved me from." Todd appeared in the room, followed by Mac and Frankie, who shut the door behind them.
"Hey, Spy. Hey Lewin. So why'd you call us here?" Frankie asked Lewin.
"I have to explain things before it gets too out of hand…" and so he went on explaining what they needed to know.

Meanwhile, in the dimension between dimensions (DBD)
-
Brion put his feet up on the couch and accidentally triggered the computer to flip up, flinging HIM off the couch as well. "Ya know, I'm starting to get the thought that maybe a computer in the couch was a BAD idea." The screen flashed and booted itself up. "Might as well check how Spy's doin'." A few keystrokes and clicks later, a status screen blipped on revealing the status of Spy (Wow! Bet you couldn't guess it would do THAT, huh?).
"He looks like he's been in a few battles already, but who did he fight there, the WALL?" he blinked, "AND he's not wearing his battle suit." He growled and picked up his cell phone.
-
Back at Foster's
-
A ring sounded. Talking stopped as Spy got out his phone, flipped it open, the immediately flipped it closed. "Please, continue."
The ring sounded again. Spy took the cell phone and smashed it into the wall, he hadn't changed his expression. "Please, continue."

DBD
-
An annoying female sounded on the other line,
'We're sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Either they just smashed their phone to ignore you, or you are a complete idiot.'
"Whatever, I'll just watch his stats, for now. When he comes home, I'm going to FORCE him to wear that suit…again…"

Foster's

Frankie and Mac stared at Lewin as he finished his story, "You're…ME?" a confused Mac said.
"And if that's true, that means Bloo is…" she stopped herself. Spy stepped in and took the rebound,
"…going to celebrate your birthday, Mac. Lewin, what are you going to do?"
"Eliminate the problem… It's best that Bloo doesn't know about this, or the others for that matter."
"WHAT! WHY? This is Bloo we're talking about here! If he knows then…" Lewin cut him off.
"…he might screw something up. Unfortunately, my time away from Bloo made me more and more aware of how prone he was to accidents…or loose-cannon schemes." Lewin then went on to relay the plan to the others in the room…and one outside the room…
-
"So that's the story, eh? Well," Ned dropped silently down to the ground, "I can have lots of fun with this…" The moon rose in the night sky.
-
Lewin and Todd stood on the roof looking at the moon in the cloudless sky, save for the dark blanket that edged its way closer from all sides.
"Did you thank him?" Todd asked. Lewin fingered his silver chain and sighed.
"Yep, I still can't believe what he did for us…"

Flashback…
-
Two ten and eleven-year old boys stood facing a towering menace; almost completely clothed in black, matching his black mullet hair perfectly. A cackle came from behind him,
"Dispose of these pests!" she said on a balcony, the dark figure didn't respond, "What are you waiting for? KILL THEM BEFORE I KILL YOU!" She whipped out an impressive bazooka and monsters started to crawl on the walls toward the three. The figure turned toward her.
"You hired me as a mercenary, it's going to take a lot more if you want me to kill these two…" he grinned
"YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE! You can't escape here!" she hissed, and raised her hand to command him once more, but was stopped.
"Watch me." He turned and grabbed the two boys by their arms and ran swiftly down the hallway, Extremeosaurs flooding into the halls after them. The eleven-year old boy finally got a chance to see the face of the stranger carrying them.
"TERRENCE!" he gasped!
"Mac." He said in a calm voice, "Mom says 'Hi'." Terrence started to tire out. Mac closed his eyes and concentrated on the floor ahead of them. As soon as he stepped over them, Mac let out a scream followed immediately by a loud rumble from behind them. Terrence stopped and turned to see a wall that had appeared from nowhere, he looked down to see his brother was exhausted.
And also to see a shadow appear behind them.
"I told you, you couldn't escape, but I don't really care right now." She raised the bazooka at Mac, it charged up. Terrence realized that that was a laser rifle and made a dash to get Mac out of the way.
The shot fired, and hit Terrence, and Mac caught a metal card flying at him. A few seconds later, a black car with a firebird on its hood burst through the wall and somehow grabbed the two boys. Mac pressed the button on the card to reveal a holographic image of Terrence,
'Will:
Mac, bring her down, and never lose that chain. It's the only present I ever got you for Christmas.
Bring. Her. Down.
-Terrence'
He must've said it in a hurry, but that's all he really had to say…

End flashback…
-
The day has passed, the storm draws ever closer, the deadline ever nearer.
July first…
-
A/N: This chapter could've been twenty times longer, but it would've been boring. I don't like boring. Also, if you have been reading my "Chronicles of Lewin" fic you would've known, that Mac's birthday is July 1st. If you want to know why…review asking that, or E-mail me.
Also, on a side note. I'm skipping a few years in my CoL fic. Bear with me.
Please review!
Next Chapter: July 1st part one: I'm not telling you! Hehehe. Don't worry, action all around next chapters as this book comes to a near close.
Please review!
Bye ;D
