Owen looked around; he didn't see anybody else in the classroom besides himself. Owen saw somebody coming into view. It was a boy that was slowly becoming visible again. Owen knew who it was. Frank stepped next to the table where Owen was strapped down on. He quickly undid the straps. "Frank!" Owen sighed as Frank undid the first strap. "I thought you were a ghost for a second." Frank looked around and hoped that nobody would see them. Frank got Owen off the table in no time flat. "I'm in big trouble. Now people would want to go and look for me." He told Frank. He simply shook his head.

"They won't be looking for you Owen. I can fix that." Frank put his backpack onto the metal table. He pulled out a device that was the size of a small puzzle box. He simply type a few things onto the computer screen. Then he pulled out another two gadgets. One was a small microphone. Next he pulled out the cellphone that he had took from Owen's double's drawer. He simply pressed an app that was on the screen. "Now nobody can hear us." A neatly rolled up cord was also with the microphone. He had the end of the cord attached to the machine. "Owen, just pretend that you don't want to be turned bad. Make it appear as if you were screaming for somebody to help you." Frank elucidated as he handed him the small microphone. Owen began to scream while he was using the microphone. He was so good at pretending that he was trying to struggle out of the leather straps that held him down on the metal table. Frank also typed a few other commands into the device. Owen saw that one of the commands was to fight against the straps that were holding you down. Another command said to try and kick and thrash your way off the metal table. Owen looked around and hoped that nobody else has went to check inside the classroom. Frank then unattached the cord that went with the small microphone and rolled in up. He put the small device into the backpack. The cellphone was put into his pants pocket. Frank handed his backpack over to Owen and told him to stand back. Frank had to tighten the leather straps again. It appeared that nobody was tied down to the metal table at first. Then Frank pressed on a button on left side of the gadget and ray of turquoise light shined on the metal table like a flashlight. The shining ray of turquoise light was making someone appear on the metal table. The figure appeared to be tied down to the metal table. The wrists appear to be caught in the tightened straps. The figure became human. Owen recognized who the figure was. It was a copy of himself, another clone! "What? Is that another digital clone?" Owen asked. "Technology on my world is unlike anything you would ever seen. This another digital clone, except I simply have a picture of the person in a file of the device. I have a picture of you taken on the school's hidden security cameras during the first day you were transported to this dimension." The turquoise light that emitted from the device was gone.

Owen can see that a clone of him was strapped to the metal table. The clone tried calling out for help. It struggled against the straps. Owen has given an invisibility device by Frank. "What do we do now?" He queried. "Well my twin did say that there is a transportation device that would transport people from other dimensions and would have them appear in this dimension. If we shut the machine down. Then my twin or nobody else would test the digital clones of other doppelgangers." "I don't think it's enough to shut the machine down. It think we should have to sabotage the machine so that it won't be able to work anymore. Now we need to find out where we should start to look for it." With those words said, Frank handed a teleportation device to Owen. "Now we should be able to teleport to anywhere in the school. Where do you think that this machine could be?" He pumped Frank. "It has to be hiding in a hidden room somewhere in the school." He answered. "Or it could be in a room where no other student can get to." Owen spoke as he tried to figure out where could be a good place to hide the machine that brought him to Frank's dimension. "Come on let's disappear." Frank said as he turned the knob on his invisibility device. Frank and Owen stayed inside the classroom. Frank made himself visible again for a few second and turned the app on the cellphone off. The sound of Owen's clone screaming is scary enough to be on a horror movie. Frank and Owen didn't move from where they were in the room. "Frank, you still there?" "Yes Owen, I haven't been going anywhere. The first thing we do is that we make sure that the teachers know that you're still attached to the metal table." The noise of Owen screaming has also the teachers guarding the classroom door holding their ears. One minute later, three students and a teacher came. They had ear plugs on. They went inside the classroom. The teachers and students surrounded the metal table.

"Are you sure about this?" A teacher asked the three students. They had black sunglasses on and were wearing spiked biker jackets. "Owen wants him in the gym right now. If we get him there, then he will explain to his double on how he is going to be helping us in our conquest." One of the students told the teachers. Owen and Frank watched as the steel table was rolled out of the classroom. The clone still screamed a near-splitting noise. "Can somebody cover his mouth? The yelling is giving us a headache." One of the students pleaded over the noise. The metal table was rolled only a little bit towards the gym. Owen and Frank walked over to the door to see what was going on. One of the teachers from the nearby classrooms brought out a stretch of cloth. Owen and Frank couldn't see the clone from where they were looking from the classroom. The sound of the scared clone shouting was soon muffled. "Alright, that's our time to move. Press the top button of your gadget. Then we can be in much safer place." Owen pressed the button like Frank instructed him, and he found himself in a room. This room had a gray ceiling and floor. There was also rows of rows of shelves. There were many gadgets on every shelf. Owen recognized some of them. There was a shelf with ten different joysticks like devices. Five invisibility devices were all lined up on one shelf. An empty, lonely table was in the middle of this room. Rectangular lights were on the ceiling. There was door at the end of the room. "Owen, are you here?" Frank voice muttered. "I'm right here Frank. This is one cool room." "This is the secret room I told you about. There's a whole lot of gadgets here that you might know and haven't seen. This is where I get most of my gadgets from. I programmed the teleportation device to take you to the room. Most of the time you wouldn't have to do that. Since this is not your school, I thought that I might be a big help getting you here." When Frank finished, he started to turn visible. Owen turned the knob of where he though the invisibility device was on his belt and made himself visible again. "I need that teleportation device of yours." Frank instructed as he walked to a steel cabinet and pulled out a tool box. Owen put the gadget on the lonely wooden table. Owen felt sleepy because he got up so early from being ambushed in his room. Frank got a joy stick device and put it on the table. He then grabbed a teleportation device off the shelf. Owen sat on the floor facing the table. He then took a short nap. Frank worked on combining the two different devices together.
