This will be my last chapter for some time, I'm sure. I'm going to be on a sport's team pretty soon and practices and games will be constant, so I don't know how soon I can update my stuff. I'll try to update my things during Christmas, but I guess we'll see.

Anyway, here we go!

Maybeck rode his skateboard into the small parking lot at the mall and noticed a very large van parked across ten vacant parking spots. Philby stood next to the van with a medium-sized dog wagging its tail vigorisly next to him.

"Philby, what's up with the dog?" Maybeck questioned.

"Oh, him? He's a stray who happened to wander over here. But I couldn't turn him away. He just has those sad, big eyes", Philby defended.

It's legs were close to the ground, causing it to drag its large ears as it walked. It had brown, white, and black fur and glared at Maybeck, no longer looking as innocent as it had before.

"Yea..." Maybeck trailed. "It looks so cute and cudley. Especially with those evil eyes."

"Don't call Brett an 'it'! You'll hurt his feelings!"

"You named that thing?" Maybeck scoffed.

Philby's eyes widened, almost matching the dog's eyes.

"It was my great-grandmother's name!"

Maybeck nodded, then realized something.

"Did you just say that was your grandmother's name?"

"Yes."

"Is this a guy dog or a girl dog?"

"It's a boy dog. The name could be a boy or a girl's name", he explained.

"Okay, so, Philby, please don't tell me you only brought me here to show me the mutt."

"Brett is a basset-hound! And no, I brought you here for something that could be cruciual for us defeating the Overtakers. Come along."

Maybeck chuckled and mimicked "Come along" under his breath. Brett growled at Maybeck. Maybeck turned to the dog and growled back.

"Maybeck, stop pestering him. No wonder he hates you."

Maybeck growled at Philby and followed him.

They circled behind the massive truck and came to a stop.

"This is perhaps the greatest invention that I have ever created", Phibly mused.

"Uh, Philby, you've never invented anything before. All you do is the techy stuff."

Philby turned to Maybeck and raised his eyebrows.

"Shut up and let me live my dream." Then, he took out a control that held a resemblence to the Fob and pushed the big, red button.

Slowly and dramatically, the back door of the truck lowered, revealing a silver car. A ramp automatically let out, causing the car to roll down. Both the boys and the dog looked at it in awe.

"It's a time machine, isn't it?" Maybeck guessed excitedly. Philby and Brett gave him questioning looks.

"No... what gave you that idea? My invention is actually inside the car."

Maybeck chuckled nervously. "Heh, right. I knew that."

Phibly opened the door to the silver car, revealing something that Maybeck really wasn't expecting: a CD player.

"I swear, if you start playing Justin Beiber on that CD player..."

Phibly held up his hand, "Relax, Maybeck. It's not just a CD player. Since I got an Ipod for Christmas, I didn't really need this old thing so I've transformed it. Here, I'll show you.."

"Just tell me what it does", Maybeck impatiantly commanded.

Philby groaned, "You can never let me have fun, can you?"

"Nope."

"It gives someone unnatural powers. If I point the anntenne towards a person or animal, it can give them super powers of a sort", Professor Philby stated.

"Mmmmhhmmm. So anyone could be like superman. Great, now how is this going to help us?"

Philby looked at Maybeck seriously as he answered, "We're going to try this on you."

Maybeck glanced at the dog, Brett, to find him almost smirking.

He had a bad feeling about this.

Hooray! I got to write this chapter! I'm glad I had enough inspiration for this!

Here's an explanation for Brett: if you ever saw Back to the Future then you probably know that Doc Brown has a dog named Einstein. Well, see, I didn't want to completely copy that movie, so I thought that it would be funny if that was the dog's name. I read somewhere that it's one of those names like Leslie- it can be for a guy or a girl. So I thought 'What the heck?'. heh, I also know a guy with the same name, so if somehow he stalked me and it reading this... I DIDN'T MEAN TO CALL YOU A DOG OR MAKE FUN OF YOUR NAME! But, I think I'm alright since he doesn't read this book series ;)

One more thing: there will be a part three to this.

So now that my explanation is complete, I have one request: review please!
