Tick-toc Chapter 1

Chapter 1: A flash of light and a lost boy...

It was a sunny day in a planes, children are happy playing with animals in a barn, the children were not expecting anything out of the normal to happen that day.

something did happen, it was beyond out of the normal, it was absolutely unbelievable.

 The children were playing in the barn one of the older ones has a weird feeling in his stomach, for a second the sky turned into a night sky with the stars showing then suddenly a giant ball of light appears in front of the barn followed with a explosion of sparks and flames.

All of the children looked on in confusion, wondering what had happened. The parents of the children were out of the house for the rest of the day till the next day afternoon, they approached the mini creator in fear and they couldn't believe what they had saw.

A boy who looked like he was in his mid teens, and was rather quite fit, not immensely strong looking but strong enough for natural muscles to appear, he had black hair and a green streak going across his face, and wore a jacket with white stripes on the shoulder with blue jeans.

It was a stare down, everyone staring him down in confusion on what was happening, and the boy was standing still and starring at the children as well.

The boy makes the first move, he brushes his streak out of his eye sight and with a deep voice asked, "hello, I will explain what just happened in a little bit, just don't tell anyone I exist or I'm here, and I need shelter for the night".

The children still in shock, the oldest one steps in, I don't know who you are, and what just happened, but you can't just appear and expect us to shelter you and keep you a secret, you need to explain to us who You Are Now!'

"Relax man I'm going to explain I just need to hide, I will explain later, the boy said, "Fine come into barn but I need explaining first", The kid said. All the children and the boy run to the barn backing him into a corner, once they get there, they all gather around in a circle surrounding the boy.

"I am Shenn-lee Saki, I mean people call me Shenn-lee or just Shenn". The boy said, the older kid responds with, "well now that we have your name "Shenn-lee", if that's even your real name, tell us why your here and what just happened". "It's a really long story but I will give you it alright".

"First before that, I need your names", " wait what, why would i give you my name", the kid replied. "Hey I gave you my name, I think its fair!". "Alright then, I am Ken Fyugy and these are my 4 siblings, Kyle, Sean, Joel, and my sister Suki, I'm the oldest at 14, Suki is 12, and Kyle is 10, and Sean and Joel are Twins at 5, HAPPY NOW?" Ken yelled.

Okay calm down, just like you guys I was a regular kid but from a different earth". Shenn said, "WAIT A DIFFERENT EARTH???", Kyle said, "I Know it sounds weird but on this earth do you guys have electronics? "Yes we do", as Suki brings out a extremely dated cell phone from Ken's pocket. "Oh thank god you guys aren't that far in the past".

"Ummm, please continue explaining please, you have me lost"?, Ken said, "Ok I'm from a alternative timeline of earth that is more advanced then yours, but not too advanced". On that earth these comets have been landing on earth and they make it so anyone within a 25 feet radius of them de-ages".

"DE-AGE?" The kids yelled in unison, "Yes de-age, and one of them landed near my house so with the tech my father and his team of scientist had available he thought he could create time travel because, he though there must have been a way to tinker with the energy of the comet that makes this effect happen had temporal energy.

He thought he could make time travel, scientists studied the rocks and turns out some of them are from the future meaning they can time travel, my father and the rest of his crew of scientists friends went to work to try to make things happen".

Wait so what your trying to say is some how theses comets that make people magically de-age like with the snap of a finger as long as your within 15 feet, some how got you here, and you expect me to believe this stuff straight out of a movie?" Ken said.

"yes, I know it's hard to believe, but ever since I was 10 I was being taught coding and engineering, so I'm kinda a genius!" Shenn said erogantly, "what?" Suki said while clearly not following, "he's going to fast, my head spinning" Kyle followed with.

"AHH, never mind that then, every morning I would go to a bodega and get food and get to work, but anyway we came up with many theories and eventually with the help of other scientists we made our first portal". "a Portal" all the children said in unison.

"yes but we could not get any lab rats and only certain objects could be tested (cameras for some reason didn't work) but they can't tell us what happens in there so we made lines of code that would put a object or human into the random place it took them for only 10 seconds".

"Wow seems dangerous, and unbelievable...", Ken said." "Yeah it was but we could find any non objects to test it on, so everyone gave up on the mission because it was deemed too dangerous even though in working condition, except me, when no one was looking I turned on the portal and activated the 10 seconds rule, I went in and I saw the same bodega I always went to but".

"You saw it in the pass". Ken said, "exactly Ken, I saw the previous store owner who passed away of old age in my time as a young adult, then that's when I realized it worked I was so exited and full of joy, then I realized the creator I made and how much damage was done and the cops arriving, and that's when I realized, it's been 10 seconds, and I haven't returned ".Shenn said.

"So that's what happened, but why did it happen again when you came here"? Ken said," I don't know exactly but some how the 10 second rule got randomized, it won't take me back home, and it doesn't last seconds, the lowest I've seen the time on a new timeline was a day, and the longest being 3 weeks, though most of the time it's 1 to 5 days".

"Ohhhh", Suki and Ken said once in unison while the rest stopped paying attention because they didn't understand, "so that's what happens is I have limited time per timeline and I can't control it and I don't know if I can ever go back to my home". Shenn said with a sigh.

"Ok I'm going to go back to my house and get blankets and let you sleep here in the barn". Ken said," Oh Oh really I didn't think you can trust me". Shenn said with joy," you sound like you had it rough it's the least I can do, plus I want to learn more about you". Ken said. "But don't you dare try leaving". Ken said as he pulled out a sheep caving piston gun and a knife, "I will find you and hurt you, I know this ranch like the back of my hand, and I don't trust you completely". Ken said demandingly.

Ken left the stuff for Shenn in the barn, and locks it while the kids go inside the main house and head to bed, Ken makes sure to leave his window open, to keep a eye out. To Be Continued.....
