"Carl come on the soldiers are gone," said Tommy. "Wait, we didn't steal the art supplies I need," said Carl refusing to leave. "Uh Fine let's go to the shop,".
They both snuck into a window. Carl went ahead leaving Tommy there next to the window. Carl stuffed paint and paint tools in his bag. Suddenly he heard a shrill scream that sounded like Tommy's scream. He ran to him but hid when he saw the soldiers from Germany back from the war of Germany and Scotland. He was shocked to see two Germany soldiers just walking in the Scotland streets. Apparently, they didn't go for war at all, they just ran away because they were afraid, they were going to die, they were just walking in the streets killing! Carl tried to distract the soldiers but it didn't work. "Hahahahahaha look at this little poor boy! Let's kill him!". Carl heard that and almost let out a scream. Then carl threw a paint box on the ground to distract the soldiers but right when he did it the soldiers left leaving Tommy's dead body. Carl slowly walked to Tommy. "What have I done. Its hopeless. All I can do now is cry next to his body," Carl said to himself sobbing. He dragged himself back to the orphanage and decided not to tell anyone about Tommy.
12 Years later, Carl is now the most famous artist in Scotland. I mean he has everything you can ask for. He is really rich, He has a really nice house, He has really advanced technology and a really nice wife {No Kids Though Yet}, But that day still bugs him until now.
September 12th 2009, Monday 7:30. 'Ring Ring' went Carl's alarm clock. "Hauuu" yawned Carl as he got out of his bed. It was he's most usual Monday morning. He had to go to a show to meet all his fans, take pictures and sign autographs. But Carl felt a strike of pain in his stomach. He walked over to the bathroom, he closed the door and locked it. He felt so faintish. Laura {Hes Wife} walked by the bathroom to give him his breakfast and she heard a puking noise in the bathroom. "Umm, Carl you alright in there?" she asked. "No, I am fine don't worry about me just leave my breakfast on my bed!" He answered as he didn't want his wife to worry so much about him. "When you talk like that you sound sick,". "Maybe I am sick. Just call the organizers of the show to tell everyone who came that I am sick," Carl said puking one more time. "Oh, ok just come out soon and I'll give you some medicine," Laura answered as she walked over to the phone.
9:30 am, Carl finished eating and he dragged himself down to drink some medicine. "There you are what took you so long?". Carl didn't answer instead he grinned. "Look I need to buy some groceries," Laura said. "Don't go anywhere! Stay in bed ok?". "Ok," Carl said already halfway through the stairs. As Laura opened the door and went out Carl jumped on his bed and he switched on the television. He watched for about 40 minutes and soon he was dozing away in the in the land of dreams, but carl didn't have a pleasant dream, not a pleasant dream indeed! It was actually a night mare. He was dreaming of house, the house actually looked like his one! So it was his house, he zoomed in his house all the way to his room and there Carl was dreaming about the dream he was dreaming. Then Carl saw a face rising from the frame of his bed, it was a monster. It had hard stony skin, shimmering eyes, it was the color of rocks, it was as big as the closet he owned in the corner of his room and a big scary smile slapped on his face. And that's when Carl woke up. He tried memorizing what he just saw. He closed his eyes and suddenly opened them to be shocked to see someone in front of him. "AAAAHHHHHHH! DON'T HURT ME!" he screamed so loud it made his own ears hurt. But surprisingly he noticed this was a human! "Ouch! Is that your first impression when you meet someone!" The person said. "Who are you! How did you get in!" Carl shouted. "SSSHHH! Quiet this is where you will get kidnapped!" the person said. "WHAT IM GOING TO BE KIDNAPPED!??!?!" Carl shouted again. "No time to explain I'm GohChan. Call me Chan. Now follow me if you want to live!". "Okay, but after you have to explain what is going on because I almost had a heart attack!" Carl said as he got out of bed and followed him. "Come here this is a time machine!" Chan said to Carl. "Oh my god! I don't know what is happening. Wait what about my wife Laura?". "Arg! Stay here I will find here and bring her!" Chan said annoyed. Then Carl said to himself, "Ok Carl this has to be a dream! I just got to wake myself up!". Soon he just punched himself but that wasn't enough. He got sick of punching himself and soon he just knocked his head on the metal of the time machine.
2:30. Carl found himself on a really comfortable bed. He felt so cozy and nice then he realized Laura sleeping on another bed next to him. Then he noticed all the technology. He thought "Am I in the future? No impossible! Think straight Carl!". Then Chan came in. "Yes, indeed you are in the future!". "What!?!? I didn't even ask a question!" Carl said shocked. "Chill! It's the device on your head! It connects to this device in my hear so I know what you are thinking!" Said Chan. "What the?! So, let me get this straight. I am in the future and I'm supposed to be kidnapped?" Carl asked. "Yes, it's simple." Chan replied. "SIMPLE?! THIS IS NOT SIMPLE CHAN!" Carl exclaimed. "Wait what year is it?". "It's 2020," Chan said. "YOU TOOK ME 11 YEARS IN THE FUTURE?!?!" Carl Screamed so shocked. But right then Laura woke up. "Where am I?!?!" She exclaimed. "Carl? What are we doing here?!?! Who is he?" Laura shouted being more shocked than Carl. "Ok Laura, please don't freak out but we are 11 years in the future, okay?" Carl explained. "Your not funny Carl,". "I am not joking okay Laura,". Laura saw how serious Carl was. "That's impossible!" Laura exclaimed. "Well it's true, let me get back to the beginning...... Once upon a time there was a boy named Ca......". "Do you have to start it like a fairy tale?" Carl interrupted. "Just let me tell what happened alright?" Chan said just really annoyed by Carl at this point. "There was a boy named Carl and that was you! So, you know that you were living at an orphanage but you didn't know that your parents died due to a car crash, there was an evil god named Dark Stone, "Chan said in a trembling voice as if he was scared of him. "At this point I just know I'm in the fairy tale with my wife," Carl interrupted once more. "If you don't listen to me, I will make sure you will stay dead!" Chan shouted more frustrated than ever. Laura was just watching confused. "Dark Stone did anything to make the world bow at him because of his childhood but everything he did never worked. He told himself to "Never Trust People or Become Their Partners" but he knew he needed to team up with someone so he looked and he looked for someone who held the power in their hand and of course he found you. I had to take you before the past Dark Stone took you. I couldn't go way back in the past and kill him because he was protected like he was some innocent little creature and of course our army was not going to be enough that's why I brought you!" Chan explained leaning against the wall. "This all sounds really important but Carl is sick," Laura explained. "Don't worry lady we have a special pill for him! Laura isn't it?" Chan asked. "Yes, thank you it is." Laura replied. "He just needs rest,".
12:30 am, 2020, 15 Of October. Carl woke up to see himself in a Metal cage. "WHAT IS HAPPENING! WHERE AM I!" Carl screamed on top of his lungs. He saw Laura again next to him in another cage. "Whoa you a real scaredy cat! Jeez. Do you scream every time you wake up?" Chan said giggling. "I am getting you guys ready for battle,". "Battle? Are we going to fight?" Carl shouted. Just then Laura woke up. "No If some guards recognize you, we will have to fight out!" Chan exclaimed. "What's happening Carl?" Laura asked. "Chan is getting us ready to FIGHT!" Shouted Carl. "WHAT?!?!" Screamed Laura. "OH MY GOD! Your generation is so scared!" Chan shouted even louder. "Just follow me and keep it down alright." Chan whispered. They both got out of the cages followed Chan. Chan switched a lever and a secret door opened. They saw all the technology! All the guns and high-tech jet pack and the knifes and robots! At this point there was no point for Carl to be shocked because so many surprises are coming his way. Laura and Carl's jaws just dropped and it might have just dropped on the ground if Chan hadn't Told them that this is just level 1 technology in their century. They didn't have clue what could be more advanced than this. So, they hoped to see. Chan pressed a button and a door opened, and there he showed Carl and Laura his spaceship. They were so amazed. "Ho.... howw... di...di..did you...?" Carl said so amazed. "Its my technology! I make technology for the world!" He shouted. "Yeah, I bet the world is a drought with no animals because of you," Laura said sarcastically. "Actually, I have figured out how to make technology without producing bad toxic fumes or that other stuff that ruins the environment!" Chan said. "Wow, I never knew 11 years in the future was so advanced! Its just amazing!" Carl exclaimed. "You can say that again," Chan replied as a huge door opened in front of them showing them the gun, he had just in case it's an emergency. "This is the Destroyer 2020!" Chan exclaimed excited to see for them to see. "It's the best gun you will ever see in your lifetime! One button on the side spawns you a camp, another button shoots a huge bullet that explodes as it goes into small 2000 bombs! Ok wait wait, we haven't gone to the best part yet! This button gives you snacks!! Oh, ok wait, I see you are not interested, wait look, this button does the Destroyer 2020 Finisher, it will shoot the best bomb I have made! It can blow up 50 by 50 radius according to my math's. We haven't actually tried the bomb yet because its too dangerous," Chan explained really excited. "Look Chan I don't want to disappoint you but we aren't using violence," Carl said. "WHAT?!?! But violence would be the only one way to defeat Dark Stone!" Chan shouted. "Chan, we are just innocent people. We don't want to start the second world war!!" Laura exclaimed. "Do you mean the third world war?" Chan said. "I don't know! In our century we haven't even had the second world war!". "We have to talk some sense into Dark Stone," Carl said. "No, No, No, No! He wont listen! He wont listen! He wont listen!" Chan shouted repeating in a rhythmic tune. "CHAN STOP IT!" Carl shouted on top of his lungs. "I'm sorry I just need some rest.... Go get your weapons you need, you have to fight, you have to fight......." Chan repeated as he walked to his bedroom. "Well, that was quite odd, don't you think?" Laura asked. "Odd indeed. He's worried. I am not sure if we have the choice to choose talking sense to him," Carl answered. "I don't want to do this if it includes you dying," Laura said. "Oh, don't worry about me please. We can't go back. Because I will die there. We have to save this century!" Carl said. "I hate to admit that your right!" Laura exclaimed. "I guess we should suit up while Chan will rest," Carl said. They walked over to a section with armor. "With armor like this I can't imagine how dangerous this century will be!" Laura exclaimed shocked to see how geared up the armor is. "Yeah, and probably really uncomfortable,". Carl walked over to room and there he saw legendary armor. He recognized it and realize that he had painted it on someone. This armor had strong iron legs painted with a coat of fine shiny black paint with strips of red on side, the body was also painted with a coat of black paint with the same red strips from the legs following up to the neck place and his arms was Light blue with black hands and the suit had white flashing eyes. "Hey didn't I paint this armor? How did Chan Make this?" Carl asked. Laura was too busy looking at some armor. "Interesting...." Carl thought to himself. He walked around the gear and found astonishing work. "It's just I can't believe this has happened... I mean the time traveling stuff and everything its just so crazy!". Laura's voice echoed into the large space. "I know. But um what do we choose? All this looks so umm Killing type......" Carl asked. "You can say that again! Look at this." Laura replied. Carl walked over to her. "Aaarrree does BOMBS?!?!" Carl shouted. "Umm well lets just walk over here and see some oooh. Looks like some nice hopefully friendly armor that are designed not to kill..." Carl said as he walked to a section. "Hey this is actually quite nicer than the rest! I mean at least it's just knifes instead of guns," Laura said. "I would choose this one.". Carl pointed at a fresh nice suit. It was just red with light blue pants and black sharp eyes. "I never knew my life would come to this point but I choose the one that's grey and has white strips and white eyes.".
3:00pm 15 October 2020. Chan woke up after 2 hours and 30 mins and that's when he saw Carl and Laura. "Whoaaaa." Chan gasped. Carl was all dressed up with his long knifes that he removed because they were so heavy on his back and Laura's look was astonishing. They both had some weird slime gun they found and they really seemed ready. "Ha Wow you guys look like you're from a superhero movie," Chan complimented. "Thanks, I think we are ready. What about you?" Carl asked. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Chan laughed. "Are you done?" Laura asked. "Hahaha You guys aren't close to the word ready!" Chan shouted. "What do you mean?" Carl and Laura asked at the same time. "Do you even know how to use that gun? "Chan asked. "Umm I'm sure I will figure it out! Um uh oh." Carl answered as he shot the gun at Chan. "Are you kidding me! I am stuck! Get me out!" Chan shouted. "Ahh get me out! My body! I told....eh you need practice!" Chan shouted as he tried to remove the slime that he was stuck to. "Oh, sorry Chan! Now how do we undo that?" Carl asked. "What about this?" Laura asked and she took out a bag of white little dots. "Hmm yeah it says slime remover." Laura shouted. "Ha your century made slime removers??" Carl asked sarcastically. Laura threw the dots at Chan. "At least were more prepared than you!" Chan shouted as the slime melted in his arms. "Eww," They both said as the slime was all over the bed and walls. "You guys need training and I have the right thing for you!" Chan said getting up. "Follow me,". Chan rather dashy walked over to a wall. "Umm what are we actually umm seeing?" Laura asked. "The Training Center!" Chan shouted as the wall opened to a large training area. "What in the-,". Carl and Laura were speechless. They saw other people training with crazy tech and some had robotic parts. "Wwh...aatt? Ww..eell I'm Ggg...ladd thee..re mmo..re people hhe..re...." sputtered Carl still astonished. "Well don't just stand there! Have fun!" Chan shouted. "Umm what exactly are we suppose to do?" Laura asked. Chan looked at her. "What do you mean? Try out weapons. I mean you need to be trained. Remember your fighting Dark Stone. He is the most powerful creature in the universe!" Chan replied. "You didn't really have to tell us that again," Carl told chan. They both walked down and saw so much. People were in simulators, they were in fighting arena fighting each other with safety gear, they were fighting virtual monsters too with cool light shooters and armor. "What's up rookies? Are you here to join the army?". Someone walked over to them. He was buff with muscles and didn't look like someone you would mess with. "Umm wow you're really um never mind," Carl said trying not to look at him. "I'm the army head and Chan has been giving us resources and helping us so we can beat Dark Stone. My name is Joan, So you are?". "I am Carl Anderson and this is Laura Thompson," Carl replied to him a bit frightened. "WHAT?!?!" Screamed Joan. Joan jumped away from them. "The Destroyer!" Someone said. "Chan who have you bought now huh? A spy trying to destroy us?" Another said. "It's the destroyer! Kill him!" Another shouted. Joan took a light gun that was laying around and pointed at Carl. Carl froze. He didn't know what to do so did Laura. "Whoa whoa whoa guys! Give him a friendly greeting will you!". "Sorry guys they aren't always like this hehehe..." Chan shouted from up. "Chan this is the destroyer of worlds! The partner of Dark Stone!" Joan shouted to Chan. "Don't worry his the wimpy type of The destroyer of worlds." Chan shouted back. "Wimpy?" Joan shot back. Chan jumped over the railing and hit the ground on his heels. "Guys he is from the past okay. I picked him up because I knew you guys wont beat him alone so I bought him by my new time machine I made!" Chan told Joan proudly. "You saying were weak?" Joan asked him. "What no no no I was just saying maybe I don't know." Chan replied nervously. Joan gave a dirty look at Chan. "Joan show Carl and Laura where to train I'll be in my office.." Chan told them as he drifted off upstairs to the main floor. Joan nervously took them to a room. "Umm what is this. Carl was staring at dark room with water leaks and a horrible smell, he also saw a few light guns on the ground and a cardboard Dark Stone. "This is the newbie training room.". As Joan said that the whole room flipped into a high ceiling room with quartz pillers and marble floors with quartz walls and the Dark Stone cardboard cutout turned into a bunch of holograms everywhere. "Did you guys do this only to the newbie training room?" Laura asked curious. "Yeah. We did it everywhere to make it safe because once a month the guards of Dark Stone come see us and search our house to see if we were doing any funny buissness. Chan was smart enough to make technology like this and safe us the army." Joan explained. "Are the guards coming after you too?" Laura asked. "Yeah. They slaughter more than half of us. It's been pretty hard.". "I'm so sorry about that,".
