Chapter 2
Stephanie stood there for several seconds too stunned to say anything. Finally she found her voice.
"Sportacus never told me that he was a twin." She said.
"I know," replied Chronos, "Because of the Top secret work that I do he keeps my very existence a secret."
"What do you do?" asked Stephanie
"I protect time itself," Replied Chronos.
"Did you come to visit your brother?" asked Stephanie
"No I came to talk to you," Said Chronos, "I need you to help me save Sportacus."
"What," said Stephanie, "Sportacus in danger, well shouldn't we warn him!" Chronos shook his head,
"It's not that simple," said Chronos he sat down and patted the ground next in front of wear he was sitting, "sit down for a minute and let me start at the beginning." Stephanie sat down and waited for Chronos to begin.
"I work for a secret organization called the Temporal Enforcement agency our job is to guard the space-time continuum and to do that we sometime travel back in time to change certain events in history for the better. Well about a year before Sportacus came to Lazy Town he came to visit me at TEA head-quarters, because we are still close even though we save people in different ways. While he was there he found out that a man named Drake one of out agents had been doctoring the records to cover up the fact that he had been using his time travel technology for his own personal gain, which is the worst thing that a time traveler can do."
"What happened then?" Asked Stephanie wide-eyed
"Sportacus told me what he had found and we reported it to my superiors. They arrested Drake and told him to hand over his omni crystal which is what powers the TEA time portal generators like the one that I carry I my chest plate. When they tried to take it from Drake he broke away and escaped into the time stream swearing revenge on me and Sportacus. Now it appears that he has figured out a way to do it. We learned from a secret informer that Drake was planning to go back it time to our past and Kill Sportacus when he was a kid, so he'll never become the hero that we know. That is what we must prevent. If Sportacus is erased from existence all the good he has done will be undone!"
"What do you mean," asked Stephanie, "What do I have to do with all of this." Chronos reached under his coat and pulled out what looked like a copy of Sportacus' crystal,
"This," he said, "is a Temporal Retrieval Crystal all you have to do is put this on a rogue agent's and the will be automatically suck back through the time-stream to headquarters. I am going to send you back in time to the North Sea Island where my brother and I grew up. With any luck you should be there waiting when Drake shows up. Drake is a Tall man with Black Hair and green eyes.
"Wait a minute," said Stephanie, "Why me? Why can't you go?"
"Because," Replied Chronos, "If I were to meet my younger self it could cause a temporal paradox that could destroy time as we know it, and Second Drake knows me by sight I'd never be able to get close enough to plant the special Crystal on him. For this plan to succeed we needed some one that he would recognize. You are the only one who fits that requirement and who I believe cares enough about my brother to help."
Stephanie stood up and stared at the moon for several seconds and her jaw became set.
"I'll do it."
