"I told you this wouldn't work out" said Clark in an aggressive voice to his brother Wilfred . He was telling his brother that the exposed air in his scientific invention had to be closed but unfortunately by not listening to him he hesitated and let it happen."You're always acting like mister know it all" said Wilfred expressing his brother's weakness. The science exhibition was held in the College Of Honors next to the ministry of Wall Street.The College was a cool and pleasant place surrounded with technologically developed infrastructure and well refined intellectuals.The boys had their first time to create their invention which they were on the verge of success with a spark of inspiration from their dad who was Tommule Schwanz ..he was half Russian and half Filipino,a mechanical engineer at the polynanodynamics at the university of RichDale in Calputova, Russia and their mother was Sansvertii Alissa Romanoff who had a degree in the field of modern art and yes she also is a mechanical engineer, this was her second major.They met each other at the same University which was RichDale.

Wilfred and Clark started taking apart their invention to fix the problem which they called the 'T-Shirt Bliss' .It was a mechanically engineered cooling vest for everyone who lived in countries of high humidity and even people who just wanted to cool off without the help of domestic air conditioners and fans. "Wil i think i found the problem" said Clark in a funny tune then said "The energy that we used was not sufficient but we have to use full-power."

Clark headed for the main plug point to use the full power for his prototype and as he took the plug and plunged it into the socket the whole entire College had "Blacked out"

A voice had screamed "Boys what have you done!!!"...."Nothing we're just...um...acc...accidentally..ummm... we're sorry Professor Malcom.

Well then take Auton who is the electrician and fix the electricity line that Wilfred and you had tripped off". Okay Professor we'll do it" .Even though the school was blacked out the emergency lights were there to the rescue and had provided two hours till it would turn off. Wilfred and Clark went around the College to find the electrician who was not to be seen in his usual place.As the boys had no choice of finding him anywhere in the premises they had to walk down the dark old basement which is the most scariest place where not much light and ventilation were.The door opened suddenly as if someone had already opened it,the boys looked at each other's faces with spine-chilling fear but they still went on.As Clark and Wilfred were stepping into the room they heard an old disgusting voice say "Beware Beware...oooorrrrrr else you'll die.....haahahahahhahahaha". Clark jumped on Wil's arms and body after which they both screamed till a glasses broke ...they ran unflinchingly and without even turning back.

Their hearts were beating faster than they could run and it had already been an hour which only left them with one more hour .Clark became more tensed since the remaining hour was coming fast.Clark said to Wil in an exasperated and scared voice 'Wil lets go back and ge...ge..get the po...po..power back on '. Are you dumb Clark ..we could get locked up and maybe killed if we went back down there.'If we don't we'll be left in the dark and blame for afterwards. Wil was biting his lips and told Clark your right...as....as much as i don't want to go we have to '. After discussing for while with Clark ...Wilfred had looked at his watch and almost screeched and made a remark which he told 'we only have forty minutes left Clark lets go down as fast as we can and pray that we have a safe return '. Clark and Wilfred were rushing towards the basement with goosebumps and fear on their faces but they were trying their best to just get the repairs done without the electrician Auton.

They reached the basement and continued down to the control room.What they found with a shock and scream was Auton lying down on the control table..but as they thought he just dozed off and wanted to wake him up they had an unexpected surprise.As Clark turned his head towards Auton he started squirting blood all over the table from his head, eyes and mouth but was unnoticeable at first. Clark fainted in shock which left Wilfred with awe and nothing to do....So Wil had to cover carry his brother out of this mess...but with so much blood he was about to vomit because it was so disgusting to see he had to cover his body with some cloth but sadly there was no cloth...then Wilfred removed his T-shirt and had placed it over Auton's head section atleast. "Man!....there is so much blood..oh yuck...bllaaah yuck" Wilfred said after realizing that he had to 45 seconds left to turn on the power.He left Clark on the side of the door and headed to the control room downstairs where he was in a maze of wires and switches which were Greek to him.
