Chapter 16: A Mad Scientist and his Inventions

Zalefe: Thanks again for agreeing to test out my invention. Nowadays it's hard to find young risk-takers.

Vell: No problem! It's actually our pleasure to help out!

This is professor Zalefe, he is widely known for having "wild" inventions. With so many years, you would think by now he would've come up with at least one good invention by now. But no, every invention is a failure after failure. So many disasters and yet he does not give up. He is determined to develop an invention so great that it will change the world.

Briotami: So professor, what new "killer of test subjects'' device have you come up with?

Vell: Briotami! Don't be so rude.

Zalefe: No, no, no. The young lady has all the right. It is true in the past my inventions have failed. But this time. This time I know it will work for sure. So let's get started, shall we? Here, put these on.

Professor Zalefe handed them protective gear. Gear that seems to serve the purpose of defusing bombs. Everyone knows how dangerous his invention can be and thus has earned the title of "mad scientist". It's not that he's crazy or evil or anything like that, it's just that his past inventions have sent so many people to the hospital that no one wants to help him test them out anymore.

Vell: We look like giant walking marshmallows with these things. I can barely keep my balance.

Briotami: Well to me you are always looking like a snack. And don't worry about falling. I will be here to catch you.

Vell: Briotami please. Not here.

Ever since that night, Briotami has been in love with Onreifni. Well more like in love with Het, and since Het is away doing another assignment she is rubbing her affections on poor little innocent Vell. Her seduction skills are on a whole other level when compared with other females.

Zalefe: You two love birds done or do you need a room?

Vell: Sorry! We are ready!

Zalefe: Good! This is my first invention! I call it the "Jump-A-Roo"! Imagine a pogo stick but without the constant struggle of having to jump up and down everywhere. Just think. Bang! One jump and you are there already! Amazing right? Vell, why don't you give it a try?

Vell: Me? Uhh. Umm sureeeee, I would love to.

Vell got on the "Jump-A-Roo" and got ready to take a jump. Boing! Boing! BOOM! The device blew up and sent Vell several meters into the sky. Covered in black smoke he came crashing down back to the ground. It was obvious that the intention was a failure, time to move on to the next one.

Zalefe: This next one is called "Turbo-Flameo-Skates". Skating is fun and all but what if you could skate so fast that you leave fire marks on the asphalt.

Vell: Ok, that one does sound a bit dangerous maybe we should-

Zalefe: Nonsenses. It's perfectly safe. Just strap on the skates and take them on a ride.

Vell did as he was told and put on the skates. He took a few strides before the bottom of his feet started to feel warm. Like really warm. Hot even. Before he knew it his feet were on fire and he crashed into a wall at top speed. BOOM! The skates blew and sent him flying once again. Another failed invention.

Zalefe: Okay that one might still need some work. Unto the next invention! I call this one the amazing "Twisty-Zesty-Taffy ''.

Vell: What is it? Just taffy?
