Chapter 4 The Tesseract
I didn't know what to think, I was in Jotumhiem. This place was supposed to be just be a myth, but as I was quickly learning, what I used to put off as just "myths" were mostly real.
I was stuck here and I didn't know how to get home, but then I remembered what Father Time had told me. I have the ability to travel between worlds, now I just have to figure out how to.
I walked over to my controls and sat down, making sure to watch out for any unwelcome intruders at all times. As I looked over all of my leavers, buttons, and switches, I found a small, pull-out control board that I hadn't noticed before. I grabbed the handle and slowly pulled it out. It wasn't very big, (just about the size of a laptop computer) and at the top, it was labeled, "Universal Transport Portal". I looked at this and said "Awesome" I was amazed that I had overlooked this little device. I quickly turned it on and typed in the exact location that I wanted to go and the location then showed up on the screen. I was getting very excited now, I was going to get to go back to my planet, and not have to worry about being attacked by Frost Giants.
But then all of that excitement went away. When I tried to activate the portal a red light on the control board started to flash and a message came up on the screen that said, "Portal power crystal is missing".
I leaned back in my chair and said, "What the heck is a portal power crystal". Then I saw it, a little instruction book lying under the control panel. That just made me mad and happy at the same time. I was extremely ticked off that I hadn't saw this in the first place, but happy that I had it now.
I opened it carefully, taking special care not to tear any pages. I went to the table of contents and found the page that talked about the power crystal. I read that the power crystal is an extremely powerful gem that is rumored to be somewhere in the northern arm of the Andromeda galaxy. This little piece of info was just depressing. I mean, how am I supposed to get to another galaxy when I can't even get off of this stinking planet?
I was so busy trying to figure out an answer to my problem that I didn't even realize that I had some unwelcome visitors. "Who are you, and what is your purpose here on our planet?" asked the leader of this brigade of Frost Giants. "I am Capt. Kyle Anthony Frost, I am from earth, and I don't have any purpose on your planet, I just landed here by mistake". The leader just looked at me with disgust, "I don't care if you are supposed to be here or not. You are now are prisoner and will be held in our prison until are king has time to see you".
I was now scared for my life. I wasn't even going to try to fight them yet, I may have been practicing but I knew I wasn't good enough to take on fifteen Frost Giants at once yet.
They escorted me to their highest security prison. They wanted to get me there as fast as they could for some reason, so we took a sort-cut thru a large building. Inside was where they kept their most powerful weapons of war, and that's where I saw the Tesseract. I was in awe, (even though I knew I was being escorted to jail) then I had an idea, if the Tesseract is as powerful as it is in the storybooks, then maybe it is powerful enough to run my teleporter and get me back home!
When we got to the prison I was once again scared, it was a huge facility made entirely of ice. It had several torture chambers and it was extremely depressing just to look at it.
They took me inside and thru me into a large holding cell and told me that, that's where I would be staying for a few days until King Laufey could see me, and then they left. I was cold for the first time since I had become immortal. As I looked around I saw that I was not the only person in the cell. As I looked across to the other side of the room, I saw another person. He looked about the same age as I was, and then I realized, he looked familiar. "Swift?" I said while looking at him. "Huh, no one's called me that since I worked for…" he trailed off as he looked up at me. " Ca-Capp, is that you?" he asked, and I could tell his spirits were picking up as he realized who I was. "Yes, of course it's me!" I yelled as we both jumped up and hugged each other. "I haven't seen you for around two-thousand years Capp, I'm so glad to see you. I-I thought you were dead but obviously you're not, but what are you doing here in a Frost Giant prison?" "I was sent here from the past by Father Time because I wasn't supposed to be there, but I landed on the wrong planet, but I'm glad I did because now I found you! Exactly what did Mim have you do? He wouldn't tell me." Swift replied saying this, "He told me that I had the power of illusion and told me to trick Pitch into trapping himself in his own world of nightmares, and I did. I came here to Jotumhiem by accident though. I was going thru the desert in a country called America, and I was sucked up and put here by a thing called the Byfrost". "Wow" I said with awe, I was amazed by this, and then I laughed as I realized a lot of things are amazing me recently.
We were in jail for two days thinking of plans to get the Tesseract but we hadn't thought of any really good ones that we were willing to try yet. We were just discussing another plan when we heard someone coming. "The king will see you now" the giant said as he grabbed us and thru us out of our cell, telling us to follow him.
He took us to an extremely large, well decorated, and even better guarded building that must have been the palace. When we got inside there were lines of ten guards on each side of King Laufey. Me and Swift where stood side by side in front of the King. "What are you doing here on my planet and what is your purpose?" he growled. I spoke first for both me and Swift saying, "I am Capp, and this is my first mate Swift…" He cut me off and yelled, "I did not ask you who you were, I already know that. I want to know what you are doing here". I looked back at him with kind of a questioned look on my face and said, "Ok, I and my first mate are not here for trouble or anything, we are here by mistake because of some troubles with our teleporter." I knew that was not the whole truth but it sounded good. He looked back at us with what looked like the maddest look he could muster and said, "Like I would believe that. I know you are Capp, the leader of the First Clan of Four and your first mate is the second member. And I cannot let you leave here alive. You see, if I let The First Clan of Four start and exist, my whole plan will fall apart." I looked at him and said in kind of an angry-sarcastic tone of voice and said, "First off, I did not know that I was supposed to be the leader of the clan", and by the looks of it Swift didn't either, "and secondly, what plan?" Laufey looked at me with a surprised look on his face and I could tell he knew he had made a big mistake by saying what he said, "My plan is for me to know and for you to never find out. Guards, I want these prisoners to be executed immediately".
At that moment I knew I had to act. I pulled out my swords for the first time and quickly cut five of the total twenty guards in half, Swift looked at me with awe as I did so, witch kind of encouraged me. Then I blocked another two from hitting Swift and then proceeded to behead them. I didn't know where all of this was coming from; it was like the swords were running themselves. The next thirteen guards seemed like nothing, as I stabbed, beheaded, or in some other way mutilated them until they were all dead. The king just sat there, as me and Swift started to walk out, he yelled, "This is not over Capp, I will have your head mounted on my wall". I paid him no mind and left.
We ran to the weapons warehouse and quickly grabbed the Tesseract as we fought off any guard that got in our way.
When we got back to my ship it was heavily guarded and had at least twenty guards trying to figure out how to get inside it, little did they know that my ship would only allow the people inside that I gave permission. I and Swift decided that we would just face them head on, with his power of illusion he could make himself invisible and fight them like that, and I would of course use my swords.
When we charged it became a mad-house and something that we didn't expect was a military regiment of around one hundred and fifty guards came at us. We were at that time completely overwhelmed. I at that very moment had enough, I yelled out "Enough!" at the top of my voice and surprisingly everyone heard me and briefly paused, but not for long. They quickly resumed attacking and that pushed me past my breaking point. I took both swords and held them up as high as I could and then brought them to the ground and all of a sudden a great burst of light followed my weapons down and hit the ground. When that happened it shook the whole area violently, and threw everyone (including myself and Swift) back about three hundred yards. When me and Swift got back up and looked around, I had made a small crater and all of the Frost Giants were knocked out. I had no idea where that power came from, but I was glad I had it.
We laughed as we got on my ship. I went up to my controls, and got out my instruction book and started reading. I found out that the crystal is supposed to be placed in the teleportation solenoid at the front of the ship. Of course we didn't have the crystal but I thought that we must at least have the next best thing. So we quickly went to the front of the ship and found a hatch, and written on the hatch was, "Power Crystal Containment Unit". We looked at each other and grinned. I opened the hatch and together we put the Tesseract inside. It barley fit, but it did, so we thought we would give it a try. When we got back to the control panel it was glowing and buttons were blinking that have never blinked before, we both agreed that, that must mean that it's working.
I once again typed the location that I wanted to go into the teleporter, and it then said, "Push button to continue". I did and it said, "Once a speed of four hundred and fifty miles per hour is reached space jump will begin". I and swift were almost beside ourselves that it really worked.
I sat down and brought my ship up to one hundred and forty-nine miles an hour, at an altitude of two hundred feet, then I pushed my accelerator a little more, and then it started.
An extremely bright blue light shot out of the front of my ship, and we were on our way. We started to move at an unimaginable speed thru space. Bright lights were shooting out from the front of the ship and then surrounding it. It was absolutely beautiful. I then saw that my control board said that it will be two hours before arrival, so I looked at Swift and said, "Let's get something to eat, we have a little while to wait before we get home". So we sat down to diner wile waiting to get back home.
