Welcome to the Multiverse System
Machina pulled an enormous plank of wood down into the slot that locked the double doors. "Won't hold 'em for long. Bet yer best buttons."
She looked at Tom, who'd parked the Hoverbike and now hugged his friends like they'd just won the championship racing game.
"Save the celebratin' if you don't mind. Here." She held up the Teleporter, gesturing for him to take it.
"What?" Tom stammered. "Here? Now?"
"'Less you'd be wantin' to invite the wingets in first."
Tom frowned. "But I thought we had to get back to the battleground."
Something heavy slammed into the doors from the other side, followed by a thunder of heavy thumps and nerve-grinding scratches. The winget wanted in.
"Only if we'd be wantin' Professor Atticus to grab us in a few hours," Machina said. "No time for that now. It's up to you." Without waiting for a response, she tossed the Teleporter in Tom's direction.
