Chapter 6- "Yes, Two of Them!"

Larryboy, Archibald, and Alvin looked around.

They were in a city under a red sky. Many of the buildings were severely damaged or were just piles of rubble and ruins. The city was dark with occasional light from nearby small fires. Two vegetables wandered around sadly in dirty clothes and wore metal blinking collars on their necks.

"Larryboy!" exclaimed Archibald, "We been transported seven years into the future!"

"What?" asked Larryboy in shock.

"This is Bumblyburg in the future!" exclaimed Archibald.

"Whoa," replied Larryboy," But why is it such a mess?"

"Look!" Archibald pointed out. Statues of Alvin were scattered in the landscape. Posters of Alvin were everywhere.

"What? Seven years later and still don't defeat Alvin?" Larryboy panicked.

Somebody gasped. It was one of the people nearby. The other whispered, "How is that possible?"

Larryboy felt confused. "Wha-"

Suddenly a robot grabbed Larryboy, surrounded by two others.

Larryboy screamed. "Archibald!"

"Got him," said the robot holding Larryboy, who was struggling to get free.

"King Alvin would want to see this," said another.

"Message him," said the third.

"No time. We must get to Alvin now," replied the first.

As the robots flew away, Archibald followed them to a very big building. In front was the biggest statue of Alvin yet. Behind it were some very big gates. They slid to the side as the robots went through. Archibald quickly went through behind the robots. Then he followed them up some stairs.

"I will imprison him, and you tell Alvin and take out his commands," said the first robot to the others, then they went two different ways.

Before Archibald followed the robot with Larryboy, he heard Alvin's voice in the other direction. He was talking to the other robots. All Archibald could hear was Alvin's voice.

"What's this?

"Larryboy?"

"How is that possible?"

"Normal?"

"What did he say?"

"Oh, I see. The pest from the past. Gather all the slaves to the main hall. They would hate so much to see that failure. Then I'm, going to keep him here, and not let him try to stop me."

"What do you mean that doesn't make sense?"

"Get another operation on, of course!"

"Yes, two of them! The more the better!"

"Just get slaves in the main hall and get Larryboy behind the metal wall. When everyone is there, we will open the wall. Have every robot available shoot him with lasers. Then, in that spot, we will have the operation begin. Have the instruments ready and Larryboy chained up."

"Why show them? To make them suffer more! Those are my orders! GET GOING!"

When the conversation finished, Archie was worried by Alvin's words. He was confused about the "operation," and that there was two of something. But he knew he had to save Larryboy before what was going to happen. They had to get to the past before it was too late!

Horrified, Archibald got going.
