Chapter 16- Gone in a Flash
Larryboy panted as he ran. Behind him was an angry mob of people under Alvin's control. Alvin was leading them in front of the crowd.
As Larryboy ran, people yelled at him from behind. He passes through the remains of buildings and around dead robots as rocks and pieces of wood were thrown his way.
Larryboy turned around a corner and saw the science lab. He could see Archibald with the time machine on a cart like he said.
Archibald was smiling at himself about his achievement when he saw Larryboy running. To his surprise, he could see everyone else running after him.
"Archie!" yelled Larryboy.
Archibald panicked and got inside the machine. He called to Larryboy," Hurry!"
Larryboy fired a plunger and swung to the machine. Once he got inside, the crowd arrived and started attacking the time machine. They rocked it back and forth. Archibald and Larryboy tumbled around inside. Larryboy tried to block the wide entrance inside from the mob.
Suddenly, someone lit the machine on fire!
"Hurry Archie! Get us out of here before the machine is destroyed!" yelled Larryboy as he crouched in the corner away from the growing flames.
"I'm trying!" yelled Archibald as he rapidly pulled the lever down and scrolled for the right date. As the machine kept rocking, Archibald struggled to push the button to save themselves.
In a flash of light, the machine disappeared. The crowd fell on top of each other.
Alvin saw this and fell to the ground in anguish.
"NOOOOOOO!" he screamed to the sky.
