Trapped in Time

What would happen if you got stuck in Time? Zia has completed her Ph.D. in Botany and has applied for the post of lecturer/ Professor. She joins a High school as a temporary teacher and is entrusted with the task of leading a group of ten students on a trekking /camping expedition. On the way they meet a guy who seems to be a trouble maker but later, he proves to be a pillar of strength. Early morning their camp is attacked by Bears and they flee taking a different route. But they are lost. They enter a lost world where people are living, in hiding, for over 250 years. Their technology is much advanced as compared to ours. Their world is called ‘Utopia’ but now it is changing due to an oppressive ruler, meaning the ills of our world have manifested in Utopia too. They are trapped in the time of this hidden world and want to help the people there fight against the oppressive ruler and his cronies. The oppressive ruler wants to make a number of Time Machines by using the brains of the scientists who died in harness at the site of the experiments. They all decide to help the good citizens of ‘Utopia’ the lost world. The huge brains are destroyed and the Orbs of the scientists escape from the huge pulsating Brain to help them in their mission of destroying the Huge brains at other centers. In this process, the crystals that are used in the hypnotizing guns are almost finished and to get more they split up to go to the 'Magical World' through a curtain which is actually a portal. The Magical World is a flat man made Earth-like satellite, which was made as a joke to taunt the scientists 7000 years ago, and which is still operational. Here they meet the inhabitants. They are fascinated with the advancement of science especially the talking chips and the flying cars. They see a completely different world where animals, plants, rocks, water etc. can talk. Before you touch anything you need to seek permission. They also meet the Aliens called the 'Crocodile Race' who have come to the Magical World (the flat satellite) to get supplies. They see a spaceship being guided to land by the scientists of the Magical World. They also see the inside of the mountain where the controls are situated which help in maintaining the environment of the Magical World. They get an invite from the Aliens to visit ‘Titan’ the satellite of Saturn where the Crocodile race has settled. At present they are on the mother Ship going to Titan. **************************** Will try to post a chapter in a week now.

Nanu And Zen Recount their Journey

Nanu, Zen , the two Elders as well as the 50 Orbs reached Lilly's lab. Lilly, Mono, Zia and Luke were surprised to see them back so soon. After all, for them it was as if they had just seen them off at the waterfall curtain and rocky portal only a few minutes ago.

The Orbs met each other that is the 50 who had just returned from the Magical World and the 25 who had also returned with Lilly, Mono, Luke and Zia as well as the 25 who had been standing to guard Lilly's Lab. There was a lot of humming going on as the Orbs of the Scientists met each other.

The children introduced the Elders and explained that they had been sent to ensure the safe return to Utopia. Nanu and Zen also impressed upon everyone in the Lab that the Elders needed to head back fast, under the cover of darkness. They also handed over the letter that Sherpa had written to Luke and Zia.

The reason being that they were violating the terms of the treaty that the Magical World had entered into with the Utopians many years ago. They could not enter either worlds without informing the rulers.

Now that Utopia was undergoing a silent revolution, they would want to do a proper treaty with the new rulers.

"Yes of course, we understand," Mono replied.

"We will take you back," responded Lilly.

"First have a refreshing drink," said Zia as she handed the elders glasses containing a cool drink.

"Lilly and I will see you back," informed Mono, the 7'7" giant scientist.

"Yes, Of Course, and Za, Luke and the rest remain in the lab." added Lilly also a 7' giant scientist.

"Orbs! keep guard inside and outside and 25 of you Orbs come with us." She told the Orbs.

After partaking of the cool drink the Elders pulled out their jet packs and fastened them around themselves. Soon they were off, following Lilly and Mono.

The invisible cloaks made them invisible but the Orbs that were surrounding Mono and Lilly, made it impossible for anyone to see what was beyond their brilliant white light.

Soon they reached the dry rocky surface from where the water fall and the ledge running all the way behind it could be seen. Good byes were said. The Elders assured Lilly and Mono that they would come back to Utopia after the revolution was complete and sanner people took over the reign.

"We would love to work with you two," one of the Elders said.

Lilly and Mono were zapped.

"Yes you both will head your Utopia," said another Elder.

"We must not keep you waiting. Once all your work is done, send your Orbs to the Magical World with an invitation. Many of us also know telepathy." The third Elder responded.

The Elders were accompanied by 10 Orbs who guided then on to the ledge running behind the waterfall and in through the rocky portal. Thereafter, the Orbs returned.

After this Mono and Lilly returned to the experiment Lab.

The 50 Orbs who had returned gave Lilly and Mono the crystals. These were added in the hyponitizers as well as in the machine that Lilly had made to reassemble the atoms of her father to convert him from an Orb to a normal human.

"First things first," Zia asked Zen and Nanu.

"Why did you both return and what happened to the rest of the group as well as the 50 Orbs?"

"Ma'am, we had learnt all that we wanted to learn in the Magical world."

"It is a flat man made satellite built 7000 years ago."

"People from Earth have forgotten about it. It was made as a joke and was occupied by scientists, their families etc." Nanu added.

"Soil etc was taken from Earth. It is situated on the other side of the moon and cannot be seen by anyone." Zen added.

"You see, there were various wars on Earth and as time passed contact was lost," He added further.

"There was a base on the Moon too but slowly the inhibatants left it to make up a new world on Titan which is a natural satellite of Saturn having similar environmental conditions as Earth."

"They fixed some areas to make them inhabitable. The areas where there was Methane gas etc was cordoned off. Noone knows that Titan is habitable."

Yes, they are also from Earth and call themselves the Gadhyals, means Crocodile race. Their space suits are made like Crocodiles. They visit the Magical world for supplies through their transport space ships."

"Have you seen all this?" Luke asked.

"Yes, we saw their ship enter the sky of the Magical World through an opening. The opening and closing is controlled by machines in the mountain of the magical world. The machines control the soil, the chips in the talking plants, the gravity of the satellite. The water, fountains, electricity etc."

"We visited the mountain. We also flew in their flying cars and spoke to the plants and animals. It was an experience in a life time."Zen replied.

"We even had a meeting with the Crocodile Race aliens. They wanted us to accompany them to Titan. We did not want to go but wanted to return." Nanu added.

"The rest will be proceeding to Titan along with Sherpa and the 50 Orbs. They will return as soon as possible."

"Like us, since time is slowed down, they will be reaching us shortly too."

"Aarnav is an old man there on the Magical World. He seems to be the head of that place but tries to show that he is an ordinary person."

He explained to us that we will return to Utopia just a few minutes after you left us at the waterfall portal. Time in Utopia and Earth has stopped for us. But elsewhere it is proceeding as normal."

"All right, that is a lot of information that even Lilly and I are unaware about," said Mono.

"We have been given pendrives, if you want, you can see what all it contains about the Magical World." Responded Zen.

"We have been given the pendrives as proof of such a place being in existence. But we are not to give it to any Earth scientist. A few centuries from now, the Scientists on Earth may buid something similar or rediscover the Magical World and get to know of Titan."

"Till they do, it is better to keep quiet." Saying this Nanu handed her pendrive to Lilly so that Lilly could plug it into the computer and they all could see the recording.
